Chapter 39: Retirement [5000+]

Xie Ke is not a little girl who was ignorant when she first opened her eyes, or many things in this life are different from those in her previous life, and she can be calm.

Xie Ke hugged Sister Pian and shook it gently, thinking about the appearance of Old Lady Xie in his mind.

I don't seem to remember clearly.

The only time I saw Old Man Xie in my previous life was when Old Man Xie was seriously ill and bedridden. At that time, Mrs. Xie recruited all their granddaughters and grandchildren to chuang, saying that she had always liked to travel the world, although she was not a qualified elder, she was indeed a knowledgeable person.

He had nothing left for them.

There were only a few things that were scavenging around, and in the end they were rewarded with one each, and it was all a thought.

That was the only time Xie Ke saw his grandfather in his previous life. After that, his grandfather Xie Yu's body was not as good as day by day, and he worked the chuang for a winter, and finally died in the spring. In her previous life, she got an ornament, which seemed to be a pavilion carved from walnuts, and there were all kinds of ornaments in the building, such as arhat chuang, a high makeup table, and a screen depicting landscapes, in short, she was very rare.

She felt that her grandfather had treated her well after all.

Later, Xie Yu took the things she got and displayed them in front of her, and she realized that what Xie Yu got was an agate bead, one hundred and eight beads were round, and they were the same size when she looked at them, and it was difficult to distinguish them.

She was just surprised, but she didn't think her ornaments were bad. Later, when I got married, I gradually knew.

Her ornaments are only worth a few taels of silver, but Xie Yu's beads are enough to be hundreds of taels of silver for white flowers.

The past life cannot be chased, the past life cannot be remembered, Xie Ke smiled, feeling that he was really stupid in his previous life, and took the chicken feathers as a phoenix tail. I even feel like someone hurts......

The memories were finally interrupted by Sister Pian in her arms, Sister Pian pulled her throat and cried in Xie Ke's arms, and Sister Li'er's nurse on the side took Sister Pian in embarrassment. "Xu is hungry. The slave and maid went to feed the sister. Xie Ke smiled and waved his hand to signal the nurse to take Sister Pian down.

Cheng changed Xie Ke with piping hot new tea, and then spoke. "Sister, do you want to take a look, I saw Sister Yu and Sister Xia when I came just now, but the mother-in-law in the courtyard quietly went to inquire about the news." Cheng is not familiar with Mrs. Xie either. However, compared to Xie Kelai, she obviously has more right to speak.

In Cheng's opinion, Old Man Xie is really an idle person.

When he was young, he called friends all day long.,And I'm particularly interested in some things that others find boring.。 At that time, Old Man Xie was not like he was walking for a few years now, and at that time he spent most of the year. Old Man Xie is still staying in Xie's family.

There will always be all kinds of people knocking on the door.

A sloppy-looking man, an old man dressed like a beggar...... In short, there are no surprises, and they are usually directly welcomed into the courtyard by Old Man Xie.

And then stay for a few days...... In short, when he was young, Mr. Xie was a weirdo.

And it's quite moody.

But he does have one thing he likes, and that is that he likes to listen to good words and flattery words.

If you flatter the words well, let Old Man Xie laugh heartily, and the reward of three or five taels of silver floated into his arms like snowflakes. Cheng felt that no matter how unlearned Old Man Xie was. After all, it is Xie Ke's elder, the old man has been away from home for several years, and he will finally return today, Xie Ke, who is a granddaughter, should go and ask for peace.

Xie Ke took the hot tea and thought about it. "Nurse, I sent someone to keep an eye on Sister Yu and Sister Xia, if they go out, they will come back to me." The so-called gun shot the first bird, Xie Ke didn't want to pull out the lead.

What's more, Xie Ke didn't have a good impression of his grandfather, and only vaguely remembered that he was a troublesome old man, and Mrs. Xie compared him to him. Serving Mrs. Xie can be called like a spring breeze.

Cheng responded and sent the little girl in the courtyard out.

About a pillar of incense, two little girls came one after another. said that Sister Xia and Sister Yu both went out, and they should have gone to Yiheyuan in the direction.

Xie Ke got up at this time. Shui Qing took a big coat and put it on Xie Ke, and then helped Xie Ke out of the door with Shui Zhu. When the snow seems to have not melted, when you step on it, it is ice and water, and it is very muddy.

The two girls carefully supported each other all the way, this kind of day was not suitable for going out. Xie Ke's body is not good, she knows that she is unbearable, and she avoids going out in this weather, but today she can't help it. It can be said that the steps along the way are difficult, and the two girls are even more frightened, for fear that there will be an accident on the snow road.

Fortunately, there is no danger.

Xie Ke walked to the gate of Yiheyuan and happened to meet Xie Xia.

The third room is a little far away from the Jardine Courtyard, and the fourth room is the closest, so Xie Ke and Xie Xia walked outside the Jardine Courtyard almost at the same time.

Seeing Xie Ke, Xie Xia was naturally happy, she went to see her grandfather alone, and she also felt apprehensive in her heart, it was naturally good to have Xie Ke with her.

"Sister Bao, let's meet grandfather together. My father said that my grandfather was a strict person, and I was a little scared when I went alone. ”

Xie Ke smiled and bowed her head, never mentioning that Xie Xia didn't have the intention of looking for her at all, but it was useless to say some things, she used to think that Xie Xia was a deep friend, but then she thought about it carefully, a girl from a concubine has no outstanding talent, but she really won the favor of Mrs. Xie, this ability is not something that an idle girl can have.

If Xie Yu did this, she must have felt that Xie Yu was full of scheming.

But Xie Xia made it, she didn't even think much about it in her heart, just when she had a good temperament, she was voting for Mrs. Xie's temper, but after thinking about it, Xie Xia would 'subdue' Mrs. Xie without showing her face, where would she be a girl who has no heart.

There are four Xie sisters, and the only one who can really be called a heartless city is Xie Yun, who is married.

Xie Xia seemed to want to say something more, she always felt that Xie Ke seemed to be avoiding her recently, although Xie Ke was not obvious, but Xie Xia was a shrewd. She asked herself that she hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, not to mention that her father Xie Yan had also confessed to her and asked her to be friends with Xie Ke.

After winter, Xie Ke rarely goes out of the yard.

Sometimes they met at Mrs. Xie's place, and the two sisters didn't have much chance to speak.

And she was worried about Xie Yu, and it was not good to always look for Xie Ke. Now that she met here, Xie Xia naturally wanted to say a few more words to Xie Ke, so that she would be cordial.

It's just that before Xie Xia could speak, Xie Ke had already taken a step. "It's cold outside, let's hurry up and get inside." Xie Xia nodded and followed suit. At this moment, there were footsteps from far and near. Xie Ke and the others looked back and saw that Xie Yu was dressed in a plain gown, dressed very elegantly.

Xie Yu has always liked bright colors, and there are almost no times like this when he can almost be called plain face.

Xie Xia couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and called Sister Yu.

Xie Yu nodded to Xie Xia reservedly. When he met Xie Ke's gaze, he was instinctively stunned, and then looked away a little helplessly. "Are you coming to see my grandfather too? Let's go in together. ”

Xie Xia is naturally happy, the more people there are, the better it is to find opportunities to fish in troubled waters, she doesn't want to face her grandfather alone. The three sisters stepped into the courtyard together in whitewashing...... What surprised them. They only saw Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Xie's face was really not good. For the three of them, it was also very perfunctory, only saying that Old Man Xie was unwell and was resting in the inner room, and said that the weather was cold, so there was no need to say hello today.

Even Xie Xia, who has always attracted Mrs. Xie's love, can't make Mrs. Xie's face look good.

Xie Ke took the lead in saluting and exiting the house, and soon Xie Yu and Xie Xia also came out. The three sisters walked out side by side.

"I heard that my grandfather seems to be in good health, why is he sick?" Xie Xia said with a puzzled face, and Xie Yu chuckled on the side. "Maybe I'm tired. After all, it's all the way through. ”

"I'm afraid I'm really tired, if not tired. Not even our granddaughters. Do you think it's Sister Bao'er? Seeing that Xie Ke didn't speak, Xie Xia took the opportunity to ask. Xie Ke nodded in agreement. "I think you have a point." But he didn't say a word about it.

Xie Xia was a little discouraged, she felt that through her own efforts, she and Xie Ke were like biological sisters, how could it be that since Sister Yun got married, Xie Ke treated her like a veil.

It's always hazy.

"Sister Bao, if I did something wrong, you say, I'll change it. But how can you be so cold to me. My father wrote to me a few days ago that I would treat you like my own sister. ”

Xie Ke shook his head with a smile. Directly ignored Xie Yu's cold face on the side. "I'm going to be cold to you, it's too cold. I don't want to be outside for a moment. I contracted a cold a few days ago, and it took me a few days to get better, so I can't go to see you when I'm sick. It's not good to keep the sickness to you. ”

Is that really the case? Xie Xia tilted her head and looked at Xie Ke. I only felt that under the sun, Xie Ke's little face did look unusually pale.

It's really a bit sickly. "Look at me, I didn't even visit you when you were sick, Sister Bao, don't be angry with me. We said we wanted to be good sisters for the rest of our lives. "Where would I blame you. You are here, I can't see you, it's not good to give you the sickness, the weather has been cold recently, and you should be careful not to suffer from the cold. Xie Xia mentioned her father Xie Yan, Xie Ke felt that his third uncle was a frank person, and he was really infatuated with his deceased third aunt. I felt that Xie Xia was not as innocent as she appeared, but she still couldn't help but admonish.

Xie Xia responded with a smile.

At this time, Xie Yu on the side suddenly spoke. "Sister Xia, didn't you say last time that you wanted to see my new drawing? Why don't you just do it today? Xie Xia couldn't help but look at Xie Ke, she naturally knew that on the day Xie Yun got married, Xie Ke had a big fuss in the second room, although the reason was unknown, but it seemed that since then, Xie Yu was a little afraid of Xie Ke, even when they met, their eyes were always dodgy.

Actually, she was also a little afraid of Xie Ke. Although she is beautiful, when she looks at her with those bright eyes, Xie Xia always feels that she is transparent in front of Xie Ke, as if she can see through whatever Xie Ke wants.

Xie Ke is beautiful, and she is a descendant, so there is no harm in being good friends with her.

But she found that she was actually more comfortable with Xie Yu, because they were both daughters of concubines. In the past, she couldn't get used to Xie Yu's arrogance, but since Sister Yun got married, Xie Yu seemed to be a different person. It's not like before, the whole person seems to have been reborn.

If Xie Xia said this in front of Xie Ke, Xie Ke would definitely scoff at it.

Reborn?

It's really a joke, the so-called country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. Xie Yu was not reborn, but had to endure to live.

She waited for news from the Kwon family as if she was waiting for the hall...... Xie Ke saw Xie Xia's expression of emotion, obviously wanting to be with Xie Yu. Xie Ke sighed slightly in his heart, Xie Xia was not Xie Yun after all.

She reminded Xie Yun not to get too close to Xie Yu, and Xie Yun finally listened.

But Xie Xia ...... It's all fate, so it's up to her. "I had a headache, so I went back first." Xie Ke said softly. Then beckoned Shui Qing and Shui Zhu to step forward.

The three masters and servants were the first to leave. Xie Yu looked at Xie Ke, and the hatred in his eyes flashed. "Sister Bao, you are really living more and more...... Gold is expensive. Xie Yu glanced at Xie Xia out of the corner of his eye, and then sighed softly...... Xie Xia opened her mouth to refute. But in the end, nothing was said.

The two stood there and looked at Xie Ke for a moment, and then went to Xie Yu's courtyard together.

Xie Ke went directly into the warm pavilion, and the warm pavilion was hot, and it took a long time for Xie Ke's hands and feet to warm up. At this time, Cheng picked up the curtain and came in, holding a prescription in his hand.

It was sent in by Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin is the Langzhong left by Qi Lu to Xie Ke. That person's surname is Lin, his name is Changyuan, and this year is the year of his son's establishment. According to him, he has been with Qi Lu for three years, and in these three years, he has only treated Qi Lu alone.

Naturally, there is a deep meaning in these words.

It basically means that in Qi Lu's heart, Xie Ke is as important as his own life.

The man......

Although he acts with a wide open and closed, it seems to be an unprovoked person. In fact, sometimes they are very careful. He knew that she would not be in good health after the winter, and he would write to inquire every few days. Xie Ke didn't reply most of the time, and he wasn't annoyed. The letter was still delivered a few days later.

Yesterday's letter also said that Lin Changyuan asked her to open a prescription for warmth, and I didn't want the prescription to be sent today.

Xie Ke nodded, and Cheng Shi grabbed the medicine according to the prescription. She has to take care of her body, only if she takes care of her body, she will not be like in her previous life, she will be haunted by the sick bed when she is over twenty years old~

Lin Changyuan got the approval of Mrs. Xie and went to the house once a month to check her pulse.

Xie Ke thought about it, and asked Lin Changyuan to check the pulse of Mrs. Xie by the way, which can be regarded as fulfilling her filial piety on her behalf. Lin Changyuan didn't say anything, every time he left her courtyard, he really took the pulse of Old Madam Xie. Occasionally, I will prescribe a prescription for self-cultivation. So much so that Mrs. Xie's initial resentment disappeared, and she even began to look forward to Lin Changyuan's entrance to the mansion every month to check her pulse, all of which were imperceptibly arranged by Qi Lu for her.

Xie Ke knows. If it weren't for Qi Lu's orders, even if she spoke, I'm afraid Lin Changyuan wouldn't have condescended.

Cheng got Xie Ke's approval and took the prescription to grab the medicine, while Xie Ke thought about it and got up and walked to the side of the chest of drawers.

Take out a delicate carved box from the cabinet. When opened, it was a neatly coded letterhead.

The recipient of the letter is Xie Ke.

And the handwriting, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing is good-looking, and after looking at it for a long time, there will be a feeling that the words are like their people. The pen walks the dragon and snake, but it really looks like his person...... Overbearing, indulgent, yet refined.

Xie Ke suddenly became interested.

instructed Shui Qing to grind the ink, Xie Ke picked up the pen and ......, 'Everything is fine, don't read it.'" In fact, that's how she replied most of the time.

But today, Xie Ke felt that these six short words were actually heartless...... He treated her well and arranged everything for her as much as he could. And although she didn't like him, she gradually appreciated him a little more. She thinks that Qi Lu is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, don't look domineering and arrogant on the surface, in fact, if he is good to anyone, he will dig out his heart and lungs.

After thinking about it, Xie Ke wrote in another line.

'The first snow fell in Jian'an, which was very beautiful. The signing is the word 'Xie Ke' in a decent way.

Then it was installed, sealed with fire paint, and sent to the outer courtyard, and his father Xie Nian would send someone to send the letter to live in the capital.

It was still early, and the weather outside was really bad, Xie Ke didn't have the slightest interest in going out, so he lazily leaned on the big pillow and flipped through the notebook...... The book is a gadget that girls like nowadays, write more anecdotes, and even some ghosts and foxes and fairies, in short, in Xie Ke's opinion, whether it is ghosts or fox fairies, they are actually kinder than people.

At least the ghosts and foxes are still good and have good results, and evil is rewarded. But the human heart is very dark.

Xie Ke was rarely able to steal half a day of leisure, and he was reading the book with relish, Cheng took the boiled decoction and carefully held it to Xie Ke.

It seems that he has been advised, and most of the prescriptions prescribed by Lin Changyuan have a few sweet-smelling medicines.

So the medicine is not unpleasant.

Xie Ke took a small sip of the medicine, and Cheng took a brocade quilt for Xie Ke to cover his feet before he spoke. "I don't know what day it is today, the old lady just goes home. The Kwon clan actually sent someone. It is said that the old lady was furious, and immediately summoned the second master and the second ~ grandmother to the Jardine House. After speaking, Xie Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Cheng always thinks and says anything in front of Xie Ke.

So he didn't wait for Xie Ke to respond.

The slave maid wondered if the Quan family had really come to quit her family? In the next year, it will be the day when Sister Yu'er will come out of the cabinet...... At this time, if he is divorced by the Kwon family? It is said that good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded, not that it will not be reported, but the time has not yet come, so it is said that this person still can't ignore his conscience. This God is never partial, and he has always been fair. The slave maid wants to see the second ~ how can grandma get it back now? "Two~ Grandma Sun has always been a face-saving person, but the entire Xie family knows who she is.

snarky, mean, but still pretending to be generous and graceful.

It's really unlikeable.

But if the Quan family really comes to withdraw from the family, it will be the Xie family who will lose face after all. That's why Old Madam Xie was furious, not to mention that Old Madam Xie just came back today, and the Quan family came, isn't this equivalent to slapping Old Madam Xie in the face? Mrs. Xie has always boasted that she is in charge of the house, but the Quan family gave Mrs. Xie a slap in the face, how can Mrs. Xie not be angry? (To be continued.) )
