Chapter 156: Quasi-words
An Shiyan kept his promise, and on the premise of not affecting the business, he tried to spend time with Meng, and with his company, Meng's good life will be raised for a few days, and his illness will be completely cured.
In the blink of an eye, it was March.
When the catkins are flying, it is very good * bright.
On this day, two guests came to the Wenxin Marquis Mansion at the same time, one was the lord of Changping, and the other was the old lady of the Xie family.
Since that day and An Ruoke met, the county lord of Changping has changed as a person, more and more cheerful and bright, during this time, she often came to the Hou Mansion to visit An Ruoke, as if she became a frequent visitor to the Hou Mansion.
As for Mrs. Xie, she came with a request.
She came for the eldest daughter-in-law and grandson who were not angry.
Mrs. Xie was angry and sick before the poetry meeting, and she was about to recover from a serious illness, originally she didn't want to take care of her eldest daughter-in-law's affairs, but she couldn't stand the bitter pleading of her son and grandson, and couldn't shirk her own responsibility, so she deliberately embarrassed her eldest daughter-in-law for a while, and she still cheekily visited the Wenxin Marquis Mansion.
Speaking of which, it's still for the sake of grandchildren's relatives.
In order to calm things down, the Xie family had to spend a lot of money to send that Miao Lian, but despite this, the Xie family did not redeem the lost reputation, and Xie Wu's future was even more hopeless.
After the poetry meeting, the Xie family became a joke in Quan Shengjing, and the name of the Qing noble was ruined, whether it was in the imperial court or among the celebrities in Shilin, the status of the Xie family plummeted.
How beautiful it was before, how depressed it is now, the poetry club not only did not bring the Xie family to a new height and make the Xie family prosperous as the Xie family expected, but also dragged the Xie family into a trough, gradually showing a decline, under such a heavy blow, the old Marquis Xie couldn't afford to be sick, and now the Xie family is in charge of Uncle Xie.
The so-called warmth and coldness of human affection, after losing power, the Xie family finally realized the taste of this sentence.
Now, except for a few people who are related by in-law and have a lower net worth than the Xie family, there are not many people who are willing to associate with the Xie family, let alone flatter them as usual.
Wenxinhou's Mansion is quite kind, and to this day, it still has dealings with the Xie family, but the Xie family knows that this is just the superficial work done by Wenxinhou, in fact, the An family has long looked down on their Xie family in their hearts.
At this time, Mrs. Xie and Xie Wu didn't have so much thought, they cried and begged, wanting to marry An Ruojin.
Not to mention that Xie Wu himself has thoughts about An Ruojin, just talking about the current situation of the Xie family, the Wenxin Hou Mansion is already the best in-law that their Xie family can befriend, if they can marry the Wenxin Hou Mansion, the Xie family may be able to get through this sadness.
It's just that whether it succeeds or not, it all depends on whether the An family cares about the love of the two worldly friends.
Old Madam Xie knows this very well, so she will show her old face and go to the Wenxin Marquis Mansion to explore the wind, all for the Xie family.
The old lady entertained the county lord of Changping and the old lady Xie at the same time.
The Xie family is now unhappy, Mrs. Xie came over at this time, it can be said that it is Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know that the county lord of Changping was originally going to find An Ruoke, and when he saw this, he didn't leave, so he stayed in Songhe Hall and talked to the old lady.
The old lady was very grateful for the kindness of the county lord of Changping.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the Xie family has lost power, the old lady can't lightly brush the face of the old lady Xie, and the An family can't bear the reputation of disliking the poor and loving the rich, and stepping on the highs and lows.
It is best to have the county lord of Changping here, so that Mrs. Xie has scruples, and it is not good to speak lightly.
The old lady didn't want to listen to Mrs. Xie talk about the relationship between the two families at all.
Pretending not to know the intention of Mrs. Xie, the old lady and the county lord of Changping had a very happy conversation, seeing this, Mrs. Xie could only be anxious on the side, and occasionally had to accompany her to talk and laugh, not to mention how tormented she was.
As the old lady thought, the old lady Xie didn't dare to open her mouth in front of the county lord of Changping, after all, she was an elder, even if she was embarrassed, she didn't want the younger generation to know.
In desperation, Old Madam Xie could only wait, waiting for the county lord of Changping to leave.
It's just that the county lord of Changping has no intention of leaving, seeing that the hour is not early, Mrs. Xie can't wait any longer, she gritted her teeth, she is ruthless.
"Sister-in-law of the An family, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I came here today to ask for an accurate word." Old Madam Xie stubbornly said the words that had been prepared a long time ago.
Straight to say, around the bend is also to say, instead of procrastinating and procrastinating, don't ask a few crisply, so that you can save yourself a little face.
Hearing this, the old lady who was talking was stunned with the county lord of Changping, but they didn't expect the old lady Xie to speak.
For the sake of the Xie family, Mrs. Xie can be regarded as doing her best.
Looking at Mrs. Xie, who has aged a lot in a short period of time and is dressed more and more plainly, the old lady can't help but feel concerned, if it is the situation of the Xie family in the current Xie family, she will not be much better than Mrs. Xie.
Sighing suddenly, the old lady raised a decent and friendly smile, and did not dodge, and replied head-on: "If you have something to say, just say it, not to mention the relationship between Xie An's two families, just the friendship between our sisters does not need to be hidden." ”
They are all wives and mothers, she understands Mrs. Xie's difficulties, and she originally wanted Mrs. Xie to retreat in order to save Mrs. Xie's face, but now it is not possible. She could only try to preserve a little decency for her.
Old Madam Xie looked at the old lady gratefully, and her heart became more and more sour.
Her son and daughter-in-law pushed her out, not caring about her face at all, but an outsider, thinking about her face.
Wiping the corners of her eyes, Old Madam Xie smiled bitterly and said bluntly: "Presumably the old sister also guessed my intention, so please ask the old sister to give me an accurate word, is it still possible for Pengyun and Ruojin to have a relationship?" ”
This old sister represents Mrs. Xie's gratitude and closeness to the old lady.
"This ......," the old lady frowned in embarrassment, not knowing how to speak.
Seeing this, there was no need to live any longer, and Old Madam Xie understood, she smiled bitterly: "It's embarrassing for the old sister." ”
Then he stood up, shortened his body, and said, "It's not early, I won't bother, thank you for today." ”
The old lady also stood up, couldn't help but sigh, and persuaded: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and the affairs of young people, which of us old bones can take care of it, don't worry about that much, come and sit more when you have time in the future." ”
"Definitely." Old Madam Xie said with a smile.
The old lady personally sent the old lady Xie out of the door, turned around and returned to Songhe Hall, the county lord of Changping was still there, and the old lady apologized and said, "I'm tired of the county lord." ”
"Old lady An doesn't have to be polite." The county lord of Changping gave a sigh and sighed: "Old Madam Xie is also a poor person, I heard that she was seriously ill by Madam Xie before. ”
The old lady smiled and sighed lowly, "Whether it's bitter or sweet, who can say for sure." ”
"That makes sense." The county lord of Changping bowed thoughtfully.
After sitting for a while, the county lord of Changping also left, saying that he would come to see An Ruoke another day, and the old lady also personally sent her to the carriage. R1152
