Chapter 132: Greed
Back at the Wenxin Marquis Mansion, Murong changed her previous anger and went to Yirong Yuan with joy, she wanted to tell her mother-in-law the good news, and the plan was really much smoother than she expected.
When they arrived at Songhe Hall, Murong walked directly to the warm pavilion on the side, and the old lady stayed in the warm pavilion on weekdays.
lifted the curtain and went in, but saw An Ruojin and the sisters laughing around the old lady, looking at their restrained and dignified daughter, and their eyes couldn't help but sway with a touch of love and pride.
"Auntie is back!" An Ruoke was the first to discover the Murong clan and cheered.
"Auntie!" An Ruolan and An Ruoyan turned around and shouted happily.
An Ruojin stood up a little nervously and looked at her mother worriedly. It wasn't until Murong gave her a soothing smile that she relaxed and asked with a little joy, "Why did Mother come back so early?" ”
As he spoke, he stepped aside and gave way to the position next to the kang table.
The old lady also smiled and said, "Sit down, it's done?" ”
Although it was a question, it was full of certainty, the old lady's eyes were sharp, and when she looked at Murong's expression, she guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight.
"Alright." Murong replied with a smile. After thanking her, she sat down opposite An Ruojin next to the old lady, and said with a smile: "Things are smoother than expected, and it will be early to come back." ”
"That's good." The old lady nodded in satisfaction.
Hearing the exact answer with her own ears, An Ruojin's smile deepened a little, and this time she was completely relieved.
There is no beginning or end to these words, as if they are playing dumb riddles, An Ruoke and An Ruoyan, who have no idea, wonder, they don't understand it at all!
bumped An Ruolan with her arm, An Ruoke asked quietly, "What are grandmothers and aunts talking about?" Why can't I understand? Also, Sister Jin was still sullen before, how could she be happy all of a sudden? ”
She asked a lot of questions, but An Ruolan was silent, only holding a cup of tea, and the old god was there, and her expression was very strict.
The movements of the sisters naturally did not escape the ears of the old lady and the Murong family, seeing An Ruolan as a little adult, the two elders couldn't help laughing, and the old lady said: "Okay, let's play, grandmother has something to say to the eldest mother." ”
The old lady spoke, naturally no one dared to object, although she wanted to stay, An Ruojin still took her sisters to salute and retreated together.
When he got out, An Ruoke snorted and walked forward angrily, looking like I was very angry, no one should mess with me.
An Ruoyan pursed her lips and smiled.
An Ruojin pushed An Ruolan and said with a smile: "Let you deliberately hold it and pretend, this will make people angry, don't you hurry up and catch up?" ”
"......" An Ruolan scratched her cheek and stuck out her tongue: "How did I know that the fourth sister would be so stingy?" It's just kidding......"
She didn't deliberately lower her voice, An Ruoke hadn't gone far before she heard this, and even jumped to her feet in anger and shouted: "You are stingy, you are the most angry!" ”
Seeing that she really angered people, An Ruolan was also anxious, but she was also used to saving face, and she couldn't apologize for a while, so she only muttered: "I'm just joking, if you really think you're stingy, how can you say it in front of you?" ”
An Ruoke couldn't hear this, but An Ruojin and An Ruoyan heard it. An Ruojin glared at her, rarely showing the majesty of her sister, and said, "Why don't you go and make amends to your fourth sister?" ”
"Didn't she also say that I was stingy, I wasn't angry......" An Ruolan still couldn't pull her face down, and defended hesitantly.
An Ruojin couldn't take her anymore, so she had to persuade An Ruoke, saying, "Sister Lan, she is embarrassed, she knows that she is wrong." And you're a sister, she's a sister, so you let her do some, and the adults don't remember the villain. ”
In the past, An Ruoke was very good at talking, but this will be difficult, she feels very aggrieved, she is so good to Sister Lan on weekdays, but I didn't expect Sister Lan to care about her at all.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and she dropped a sentence: "I won't play with you in the future!" He ran away crying.
“――!” An Ruolan was stunned by this scene.
"......" An Ruojin and An Ruoyan were also taken aback, this time it was a big fuss, and the two of them threw a self-begging look at An Ruolan.
An Ruolan wants to cry without tears.
The other compartment.
scolded all the way in the carriage, and after returning to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Xie didn't even dare to let out a fart, she still held a high posture, and only pretended that nothing had happened.
The matter of the banquet held by the lord of Changping County is not a secret in the circle of noblewomen, but the women of the Xie family don't know that Mrs. Xie has received the post - Shengjing City is so big, there are so many nobles, and it is not uncommon for several families to hold a banquet on the same day.
Mrs. Xie's deliberate concealment made the Xie family think that she went to the house of someone next to her to attend the banquet, probably because she was sought after again, so she was so arrogant. This situation has been very common recently, and the Xie family has become accustomed to it, so everyone didn't care, and no one asked about Mrs. Xie's banquet.
In a way, the Xie family doesn't like to see Mrs. Xie now.
Mrs. Xie breathed a sigh of relief because of this, no one asked the best, saving her from losing face again.
Because she was worried that the things at the banquet would be used to chew the root of her tongue, Mrs. Xie changed her flamboyant style a few days ago, and lowered her profile a lot, she pushed many posts inviting her to the banquet, and often sent people outside to inquire about the rumors in Shengjing City, for fear that there would be about that banquet.
After a few days like this, I didn't hear the news, and gradually, Mrs. Xie relaxed, she expected that others were afraid of the power of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and they also tabooed that she had a capable son, so they didn't dare to arrange her at will and offend her. This idea made her waist straighter and straighter, and more unscrupulous, and after being active in the circle of noblewomen again, she became even more arrogant.
Mrs. Xie began to inquire around about the princesses who were matched with Xie Wu's age, but as for the county lord, she didn't look at it. In her opinion, only a royal princess could be worthy of her son.
I have to say that the Murong clan has a very good grasp of Mrs. Xie's temperament, and Mrs. Xie is the one who opens a dyeing workshop with a little color, both greedy and self-righteous.
While inquiring about the news of the princess, Mrs. Xie did not forget to test Xie Wu's attitude.
On this day, Mrs. Xie caught the gap.
She asked the maid to call Xie Wu to her own room, and after asking for warmth, she knocked on the side: "Pengyun, you are not young anymore, do you have a favorite girl in your heart?" ”
Xie Wu was still a little patient with his own mother, but when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and wondered: "Didn't mother always know that her son was happy with Ruojin's sister?" ”
This is not false at all, Xie Wu is a little fancy, but he really has feelings for An Ruojin.
Hearing this, Mrs. Xie was a little anxious, her son was so capable and handsome, how could the little Houmen girl be worthy?
She didn't think about it at all, after the banquet, whether the An family was still willing to be in-laws with their Xie family. Anyway, in her opinion, An Ruojin is not worthy of Xie Wu, and Xie Wu's willingness to marry An Ruojin is already a great blessing for An Ruojin. But she won't agree to this family business.
Turning in circles in her heart, Mrs. Xie frowned, pretending to be embarrassed: "Ruojin is good, it's just that you also know that the Marquis of Wenxin Mansion still refuses to nod and agree to your family affairs......"
didn't mention what happened in the county lord's mansion at all, and only pushed all the qiē on the Wenxin Marquis Mansion.
Xie Wu's face really sank, and said gloomily: "Now that they don't agree, I don't believe that when the poetry meeting is done, they still won't agree!" ”
Mrs. Xie didn't expect him to be so persistent, she was very surprised, she thought about it, and said, "That's natural, but," she changed her words, and said in a proud joking tone: "Mother attends banquets these days, and you can often hear everyone praise you, not long ago, someone asked you if you are engaged, and everyone also said that you are very likely to be a princess!" Although it is all a flattering joke, it is also everyone's affirmation of you, and your mother is very happy for you. ”
As she spoke, she secretly looked at Xie Wu's expression with her eyes, and when she saw a bright light flashing in his eyes, she knew that he was also moved, so she said softly: "Mother doesn't have any requirements, the future daughter-in-law, as long as you are happy, whether it is a young lady of the family or a princess, as long as it can be beneficial to you, you two can live well, and your mother will be satisfied, and it is all up to you." ”
This is a very beautiful statement, which not only shows his own open-mindedness and generosity, but also expresses his love and obedience to his son, and at the same time, he also mentions some hints, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. Although Mrs. Xie is easy to get carried away and complacent, she is also a little scheming.
Now that she is facing Xie Wu, she will speak so softly.
Xie Wu is indeed tempted, no matter how noble the young lady of the family is, how can she compare to the princess? Although the Xie family is a noble family, there is no princess Shang in the ancestors, if he can be a princess, then he will not be the first person in the Xie family in the future? And after becoming a colt, he is afraid that there are no better resources?
Under his leadership, the Xie family will reach a higher level and be more prosperous!
As long as he thought of the praise of himself on the genealogy in the future, he couldn't help but get excited, he was interested in An Ruojin, but compared to the ambition in his heart and the interests of the family, what is this personal relationship of his children? For the sake of the family, he is willing to give up a qiē.
His heart turned back and forth, but Xie Wu did not miss a point on his face, he smiled lightly: "It's too early to say these things now, I'm busy with the poetry meeting right now, after staying for a while, my son should also prepare for the autumn festival, my son wants to get a reputation first, and then talk about marriage, my mother is outside, don't express my stance at will." ”
That's the hint.
Mrs. Xie naturally understood, and nodded busily in agreement: "I also said so, those who are interested in getting married, I have pushed it, you can study with peace of mind, don't worry about the side." ”
Mother and son smiled. R1152
