Chapter 122: New Year's Gift
Chapter 122: New Year's Gift
The next day, Xie Ke was awakened by Cheng early, except for his eyes being a little red, Xie Ke had no unusual expression on his face, and the faint smile seemed to make people feel like they were in the thin sun of March. Cheng only thought that Xie Ke had slept late last night, and didn't ask much, but only vigorously beckoned Shui Qing and a few people to serve Xie Ke to wash up and change clothes.
I have to go over early today to say hello to Mrs. Xie.
The peach-colored flower-picking gown, each with a pale pink jade flower on each sideburn. Shui Qing gently spread a thin layer of rouge on Xie Ke's face, and a little lip grease on his lips, he was already beautiful, and even Shui Qing's few girls who were dressed up for Xie Ke looked straight at their eyes.
"My sister is really beautiful when she dresses up like this." "That's right, my sister is already beautiful, but she dresses up too plainly on weekdays, and today she just used a little rouge, and she has made the slaves and maids look straight in the eyes. If you dress like this every day, the slaves and maids will hit the wall when they walk. Cong Rui said exaggeratedly on the side, and as soon as her voice fell, Cheng and a few girls couldn't help but smile and bend their faces.
Although this is mostly funny, it is also true in the eyes of the girls.
Looking at the entire Xie family, the only one who can compare her appearance with her own sister is Sister Yu. Although Sister Yu'er can compare a few points with her own girl in appearance, the charm of her body is really not on the stage.
Xie Yumei is beautiful, but the beauty is a little fake. She always seems to boast of being weak, and she wants the whole world to pity her.
But there are many weak women in the world, and such a contrived state will always make people feel a little bored. But her sister looks weak on the outside, but she actually acts in moderation. is a regular stop in the hall, and it involuntarily attracts countless eyes.
What's more, after such a clean-up today, Cheng believes that I am afraid that even Mrs. Xie will be shocked when she sees Xie Ke today.
The result was indeed as Cheng guessed, Xie Ke was just dressed up a little festive today, but it made the Xie family, including Mrs. Xie, look bright.
The eldest grandmother couldn't help beckoning to Xie Ke, now she likes this little girl more and more, when her son was in trouble, thanks to Sister Bao'er begging her father, she saved the life of the cherished jade. As a mother, she knows that her son's affection for the jade should not be, but because she feels sorry for her son, she really doesn't want to see her son sad and desperate. Xie Nian finally protected all the jade, which can be said to have greatly relieved the eldest grandmother Wang.
Naturally, Wang wrote everything down to Xie Ke's head. What's more, there is also the matter of Sister Yun...... If it hadn't been for Xie Ke's persuasion earlier, his stupid daughter might have hit the south wall and wouldn't have thought it through. How can you stand well in the hall at this time? It's also a good family affair.
Thinking about it, they owe Sister Bao a lot in the long room.
Xie Ke smiled and nodded, and after getting Old Man Xie's approval, he obediently stood beside the eldest grandmother, and the position happened to be next to Xie Yun.
There is a difference between the concubines, and next to Xie Yun stands Xie Yu, who has not been seen for some time. From the moment she entered the flower hall, Xie Yu's gaze didn't seem to take off her. However, how can this affect Xie Ke......
Xie Ke couldn't remember how the Xie family celebrated the New Year when he was a child, but vaguely remembered that the whole family went to the flower hall, and then greeted Mrs. Xie according to his seniority.
Because his grandfather, who was said to be alive but had not even returned home on such a day as the New Year, was not there, so several uncles and aunts only greeted the old lady with their aunts. When the uncles finished saluting, they were the ones who were ......
Xie Yun gently pulled Xie Ke's sleeve and whispered to Xie Ke that as long as everything was done with her, it would not be wrong.
Xie Ke nodded slightly.
Xie Yu snorted lightly, a picture of Xie Ke's disdainful face that he had never seen the world......
"I can't even do New Year's greetings, how did the Chu family teach you? Wangchuan is really a wild place. ”“…… Sister Yu will be polite for a while, I heard that the capital monster is quite exquisite, if one does a mistake, if it is disliked by the old lady of the Quan family, it will really lose the face of the grandmother. Xie Ke replied with a smile, choking Xie Yu to open his mouth, but he didn't know how to fight back for a while. Quan is her sore spot, but Xie Ke wants to hit her sore spot.
Without waiting for Xie Yu to react, Old Madam Xie had already gotten up.
The group headed towards the ancestral hall.
Entering the ancestral hall, first the three Xie Song brothers and the eldest grandmother and the second ~ grandmother stepped forward to salute Mrs. Xie. Then came the two Xie You brothers.
In the end, there are the three Xie Ke sisters.
Xie Sanye is on official business, and he can only return home after the third year of junior high school, and Sister Xia will also return home with Xie Sanye, and she will stay with Xie for a long time in the future.
Xie Ke was the leader, Xie Yun and Xie Yu followed, and the three sisters stepped forward, knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed.
Then Mrs. Xie showed off.
She told Xie Yun to abide by women's morality and be filial to her in-laws and elders after she got married, but when she came to Xie Yu, she just lightly told her to be a good woman and stay home in the boudoir.
When she arrived at Xie Ke, Old Madam Xie smiled, and then spoke unhurriedly.
“…… Speaking of which, this is the first New Year that Bao Yatou has spent in Xie's after seven years. Grandmother should have taken care of it more, but at the end of the year, she was riddled with a lot of ...... Bao girl, don't be angry with your grandmother because of this......" Xie Ke naturally smiled and nodded. The smile on Old Madam Xie's face couldn't help but become a little thicker.
She turned to the three Xie Song brothers ......, "Da Lang, Erlang, Bao Yatou's marriage is not in a hurry. Bao girl is still young, and I want to keep her for two more years...... Your fourth brother also talked to me about something in private, I think it makes sense, Bao Yatou is our Xie family's daughter-in-law, her marriage is a major event of the Xie family, I think it is better to wait for your father to return home and discuss with him before making a decision. Although Xie Song and Xie He were surprised, they could only nod at this time, Old Madam Xie smiled with satisfaction, and her eyes swept over the eldest grandmother Wang and the second ~ grandmother Sun.
The two of them couldn't help but shrink.
Where is the old lady telling her son, it is clearly an allusion to the two of them.
The eldest grandmother's heart was just tight, and she was glad that she only mentioned Wang Ze to Xie Ke, and did not go to the old lady to discuss. Besides, although the Wang family is not prominent, it can be regarded as the richest family...... His nephew is indeed praised by the world. It's just a family affair, but it won't offend anyone.
It's Xie Ke, and the Wang family also has a guilty conscience......
Because she really planned for Xie Ke.
Sun's heart was empty, she always felt that the matter mentioned by Xie Ke and Xie Ke was known by the old lady. But if the old lady knew, why didn't there be any movement at all. With the old lady's temperament, she will be summoned to the front to be reprimanded.
If the old lady really scolded her, it would be fine, and she would let go of this concern.
But she was afraid that the old lady would hold it like this, which would make her heart go up and down......
After Mrs. Xie finished telling Xie Song and Xie He, she turned to Xie Ke again. "Don't worry, grandmother will definitely find you a good family. With the appearance of my sister Bao'er...... He will be rich and rich. That's a lot of talk. Xie Ke hurriedly saluted.
Old Madam Xie waved her hand and got up.
He left the ancestral hall first. After the New Year's ceremony, Mrs. Xie left the three brothers of the Xie family to gossip.
Xie Ke and others retired. said that it was gossip, but in fact, Mrs. Xie wanted to talk to Xie Nian's brothers about the success of Xie's shop, and also discussed what business to do in the coming year......
The Wang family and the Sun family went to the outer warm pavilion together.
I'm afraid the old lady will also show them something in a moment......
Xie Ke's brothers and sisters were fine, and Xie Ke and Xie Yun walked out side by side. Before he walked out of Mrs. Xie's yard, Xie You strode after him.
Continuously. "Sister Bao." Xie Ke and Xie Yun stopped, looked back, and saw Xie You's face flushed, and he pulled the hem of his robe at a loss, looking like he wanted to speak, but was embarrassed. Xie Ke knew that Brother You had something to say to her when she saw it, and this must be related to Xiyu.
It's just that it's easy to cherish the jade to make it a big thing, and he is worried that he will speak so rashly.
Xie Ke will ignore it.
Xie Ke sighed lightly in his heart, Xie You is actually a good man, the son of the Xie family, although he is not a descendant, his status is also noble, but Xie You has no bad habits of the current family.
Except for ...... He hid it from them and Xiyu that he had already cooked his own raw rice.
Xie Yun saw his brother like this, and his angry little face flushed.
"Brother, if you have anything, just say it, Sister Bao is not an outsider, your business, Sister Bao doesn't know anything, what else are you embarrassed about." Xie You's face turned redder and his fists clenched.
After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind, and slowly let go of his fist.
A pair of eyes looked at Xie Ke fixedly...... "Sister Bao, I know that I shouldn't have asked about Xiyu today, but I'm really worried about her...... She is timid, and she doesn't dare to speak even if she is bullied in Beizhuang alone. Sister Bao, can you help me find out which Zhuangzi the fourth uncle placed Xiyu in. I just wanted to see her...... I swear, just one look. ”
"Brother, why are you still thinking about that cherished jade. Didn't you swear in front of your father and mother and say that you would treat the Jiang family's sister well...... But look at you...... You're such a bad person. "Xie Yun's attainments in scolding are really not deep, and it is just a bad word.
"I'm not worried about her, I'm just worried about her. Yun'er, I'm asking Sister Bao'er, don't interject. ”
If they are not standing on a secluded path at this time, they are not wary that there will be a girl passing by at any time. Xie Yun really wanted to scold her brother loudly. It was so easy for the fourth uncle to suppress the matter of cherishing the jade, and it was easy to hide it from his grandmother, not to mention that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year......
But his brother regrets jade today, which is really disappointing.
In the blink of an eye, March, the girl of the Jiang family is about to enter the door, but her brother's heart seems to be still in the girl who cherishes the jade.
How good is that?
"Sister Bao, don't pay attention to him, let's go."
Xie Yun pulled Xie Ke and was about to leave. How can Xie You rely on ...... He took three steps and two steps in front of the two sisters. "Sister Bao, please help me. I'm really just worried about her, I just want to look at her and see if she's okay. As long as she's well, I won't miss her anymore. (To be continued.) )
