Chapter 68: Please

It's not a year or two, it's a full seven years. Xie Nian is also over thirty years old, and Mrs. Chu even took the initiative to write a letter to her family some time ago, persuading Xie Nian to continue earlier.

's daughter has a thin life, and it is always difficult for Xie Nian to never marry again.

As for Xie Nian's proposal to let Xie Ke return to the Xie family...... Old Mrs. Chu was reluctant in her heart, and there was no reason to stop her at this time.

Xie Ke had finished the course of ethnicity a few years ago, and now he is wholeheartedly studying with his master to learn from the female red.

The girl's family went to the clan to learn, but it was just for the sake of etiquette, and it was enough to be able to read a few words, and it didn't need to be very advanced.

Chu Qiyan and Chu Jinyan were both admitted to the official school in the second year that Xie Ke stayed in the Chu family, and Chu Jinyan even tried his skills the next year and got a show. Grandma Chu naturally praised her son whenever she met people. For Xie Ke, he still doesn't like it. Especially with age, Xie Kesheng is becoming more and more beautiful.

Today, Xie Ke is drawing patterns on the big kang by the window in the inner room.

Cong Rui hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in. "Girl, the old lady sent someone to invite." Xie Ke put down the work in his hand unhurriedly, and then looked up at Cong Rui.

Compared with seven years ago, Cong Rui is now very marked.

The slender figure and slightly rounded face are very much in line with the aesthetics of today's people. However, in the past six months, several housekeepers have asked Xie Ke about Cong Ruike's mother-in-law's family.

It's just that in the past seven years, his temperament has become more and more impatient.

On the contrary, Yuhui, who was honest and honest back then, is now more and more steady.

"Who did the old lady send?"

“…… It's Mama Xu. ”

Xie Ke's eyes sank when he heard this, and his subordinates moved faster.

Mama Xu is the mother-in-law who told her father Xie Nian and Chu's every move bluntly. Later, Xie Ke learned that she was Mrs. Chu's confidant, the daughter of Mrs. Chu's nurse, and Mrs. Chu's sister. Because of the loss of her husband and son at an early age, she stayed in the Chu family to serve Mrs. Chu in frustration.

Can work on the matter of Mama Xu personally invited. It's not going to be a trivial matter......

"Invite Mama Xu to the pantry for some snacks, and say that I will change my dress and go with her to see my grandmother."

Cong Rui responded.

The pace of going out couldn't help but slow down, and he followed Xie Ke for several years, and Xie Ke treated them very kindly, especially the slaves and maids who came from Jian'an. The master has a good temper, and the people at the moment are happy, but it is difficult to ensure that someone deceives the master.

So much so that Cong Rui unconsciously thought about cleaning up the unruly subordinates for his master. That's why his temperament became more and more radical.

It's just that as soon as she saw her sister, Cong Rui couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and it seemed that all the fire was instantly dissipated.

Even in the heat of summer.

Cong Rui picked up the curtain and went out, Shui Qing smiled and lifted the curtain and came in, Shui Qing and Shui Zhu have been in their teens for nearly ten years, and it stands to reason that they have reached the age when they should leave the mansion.

Xie Ke is not a harsh master, thanks to the care of Shui Qing and Shui Zhu in the past few years, her small life can be so peaceful, Xie Ke also asked the two of them what their plans are, are they planning to go out of the house with people? Or did she go and beg Mrs. Chu to give the two of them family advice?

However, both of them thought about Jian'an, and finally agreed to accompany Xie Ke back to Jian'an together.

Xie Ke thought about it again and again, and finally responded.

The so-called homeland is difficult to leave, that is, she does not have too deep feelings for Jian'an Xie's family, but after seven years of separation, she will miss it, and even occasionally dream of Jian'an's own yard. I don't know what her courtyard looks like at this time. Father Xie Nian wrote a letter to his family on time every month, and occasionally Cheng would bring a few words. But what he said was innocuous and innocuous as for his father Xie Nian, he only blindly told her to eat well and use it well, and at the end of each year, he would bring her a silver ticket in his family letter.

In fact, in the Chu family, where is it used to spend their own silver.

Whether it is Mrs. Chu or Uncle Chu, she is very affectionate.

The monthly chewing is all in the public, and there will be red envelopes for rewards every New Year's Day. Even the slaves and maids in her courtyard are rewarded more generously than those in the courtyard next to her, which shows that Old Madam Chu thinks about her so much.

Heart-to-heart, Xie Ke also has heartfelt love and respect for Mrs. Chu.

In addition to greeting him every day, most of the time Xie Ke will also spare an hour or two to accompany Mrs. Chu, or read a few scriptures to the old man, or accompany the old lady to point out the embroidery work of the girls, in short, in the Chu family, no one does not know that Mrs. Chu favors her granddaughter. Xie Ke is no matter how low-key he is, and the name of beauty still spreads. Originally, in Wangchuan, it was expected that the Chu clan would be more beautiful.

In the past, before Xie Ke's mother was married, it is said that the people who came to propose marriage almost stepped on the threshold of the Chu family.

Although Xie Ke is not surnamed Chu, he is really favored by Mrs. Chu, and occasionally is called by Mrs. Chu to her side to entertain Mrs. Chu.

was relied on like this, so naturally someone hit Xie Ke's idea.

Since Xie Ke was ten years old, people came to talk to Mrs. Chu from time to time, and in the end, they would talk about Xie Ke, which was nothing more than praising Mrs. Xie for her good fortune and having such a beautiful and clever granddaughter with her. and then used the excuse to find out if Xie Ke had allowed others. Every time at this time, Old Madam Chu had an unfathomable expression, and finally vaguely confused the past.

Some people who wanted to marry the Chu family felt that if they married Xie Ke, the daughter of the Xie family, they might not be able to achieve the goal of marrying the Chu family.

The so-called marriage is the good of two surnames.

After all, Xie Ke's surname is Xie.

Although the Xie family is also a Wang family, Jian'an is far away from Wangchuan, and the so-called whip chief is beyond his reach......

But the more unclear Mrs. Chu's attitude was, the more others felt that Old Madam Chu valued Xie Ke. There are even a few families who gradually taste some taste, and feel that marrying Xie Ke is not only a good marriage with two surnames, but a good marriage with three surnames, with Jian'an Xie's family.

Old Madam Chu was very bothered, but the identities of some people who came to the door were inconvenient for Old Madam Chu to avoid, so Xie Ke had been advised by Old Madam Chu in recent days.

stayed in the courtyard every day, and there was no need to go to Mrs. Chu's courtyard every day to serve.

Xie Ke understood that in front of her, it was inconvenient for Old Madam Chu to say a lot of things after all. But I don't know why I sent Mama Xu to call ...... today

While thinking about it, Shui Qing had already changed Xie Ke's dress. The blue lake silk gown, embroidered with dark yellow butterfly patterns, Xie Ke walked, the butterfly seemed to fly up, but if you raise your eyes to see, anyone will feel that the butterfly is embroidered again, and there is no little girl wearing this gown to make people shine.

Shui Qing couldn't help but sigh softly behind Xie Ke.

is obviously a very casual dress, but she was stunned to let her girl wear a little bit of a charming taste.

Xie Ke changed her dress and sent someone to invite Mama Xu into the house, Mama Xu was over fifty years old, and she was very round and jade, she entered the house and blessed her body, and smiled before she spoke.

"Miss Table, the old lady asked the slave maid to tell Miss Table, the old lady of the Xu family in Yingdu is here, and when Mrs. Wei heard the old lady mention Miss Table, she muttered that she wanted to see her. The old lady confessed, Miss Cousin just did as she did on weekdays. ”

Xu's ...... in Yingdu

Xie Ke thought about it before he understood, and his face changed slightly.

Seeing this, Mama Xu lowered her head. "I made a new sketch, and I was going to make an autumn coat for my grandmother. It's better to take it with me and let my grandmother take a look, and I'll take the trick and we'll go out. ”

"Miss Cousin, please take care of it, I really don't dare to take the word tired." Mama Xu respectfully retreated under the porch.

Xie Ke took Shui Qing and turned around and entered the inner room.

"What tricks does the young lady need, the slave will get it for the young lady." Shui Qing hurriedly said, she felt that it was not good to let Old Master Chu wait for a long time, not to mention that although Mama Xu had a smile on her face, she was famous for her harsh and harsh criticism in the Chu family, and because she was the grandmother of Old Mrs. Chu, she was also half a master in the Chu family, even if she saw a few masters, she would not make a mistake.

Her own lady actually asked Mama Xu to wait under the porch.

This...... It's really not appropriate. But he didn't want Xie Ke to shake his head.

Then he commanded lightly. "Shui Qing, pick up a white skirt for me, and then take the gold-inlaid beaded stone and green hairpin......" Shui Qing didn't know why, looked Xie Ke up and down, and felt that his sister was dressed very elegantly, and she was already very beautiful.

And the makeup and jewelry are all just changed, why do you suddenly have to change them.

Xie Ke didn't want to say more.

She also saw through many things little by little, just like Old Madam Chu's thoughts.

Mrs. Chu really felt sorry for her, and she also revealed to her that when her mother was alive, she planned to set up a family affair for her and her brother, and wait for her to make a big gift after her.

But her mother's life was thin, and she went early before the matter was decided.

The matter was then put on hold.

For this reason, Chu Jinyan also sneered at her, saying that she had nothing to do except for her face, and the implication was that she was extremely dissatisfied with her.

Xie Ke was not angry, but the big stone in his heart was put down.

Don't say that Chu Jinyan dislikes her, she still doesn't look down on Chu Jinyan. In addition to being the son of the Chu family, what other abilities does he have? What's more, there is such a mother who praises high and steps low. Xie Keke clearly remembered that after his mother's death, Grandma Chu also contributed to it.

Let her marry Chu Jinyan, don't think about it!

Old Madam Chu's mind gradually moved to her and Chu Qiyan.

It's just that...... Xie Ke didn't want to make a hasty decision on family affairs, that is, she wanted to get married, and she would definitely marry someone who suited her heart in this life. Chu Qiyan is good, as a brother, he is impeccable, and he will bring gifts to her every time he returns home. And as he got older, he became more and more serious.

There seemed to be something in her gaze, but Xie Ke didn't want to delve into it.

In Xie Ke's heart, he is just a brother, and there is nothing else in this life.

And the day when she returns to the Xie clan is getting closer, and in three months, she will be thirteenth birthday.

The incident in her previous life happened a few days later, and she still remembered that it was an early summer afternoon, and Xie Yu sent a personal girl to invite her to the garden to enjoy the flowers, saying that a pool of lotus flowers had bloomed. She went out stupidly, and didn't think much about why Xie Yu invited her to enjoy the lotus in the afternoon. Isn't it time to avoid the sun when you enjoy lotus? Which one will enjoy what lotus flowers under the big sun.
