Chapter 32: Uneasiness
The luxurious carriage was driving on the street, and when they saw this carriage, the people on the street automatically avoided the side of the road and waved excitedly at the carriage.
"Miss!"
"Miss!"
In addition to these shouts, the words Miss Roujia occasionally came out, although few voices were quickly muffled, but Xie Rouhui, who was sitting in the car, still heard it.
However, Xie Rouhui was not as unhappy as before, it had only been more than two months, and she believed that it would not be long before there would be fewer such titles.
The gate of the Xie family opened early, and Xie Rouhui's carriage galloped straight into the door without slowing down.
In front of the second door, Xie Yao personally greeted the servant woman and girl.
"I'm tired." Xie Yao said earnestly, while taking the fan and playing it for her.
"What are you tired of, it's not jumping every day." Xie Rouhui said, "Is my mother here?" β
Xie Yao hurriedly grabbed her and used a fan to block her.
"The eldest lady is angry." She whispered.
Xie Rouhui frowned.
"What's wrong with her?" She asked, and walked straight to Mrs. Xie's mansion without stopping.
"It's not about the two sisters in Aunt Hua's family in Beitou." Xie Yao gloated a little, "The family affair you introduced to her family a few days ago, the two sisters went on a blind date, and the other party fell in love with her sister." β
Xie Rouhui sighed, as if she thought for a while before remembering who it was.
"My sisters and sisters are not all the same, they are all in-laws, and the two sisters still don't understand this truth." She said.
Xie Yao smiled and followed her.
"Miss, you really think highly of them." She said. "This morning, my sister splashed a bowl of boiling tea soup on my sister's face, and the appearance was burned, and the house was blown up, and I came to find the eldest lady."
A smile appeared on Xie Rouhui's lips, of course she remembered this incident, that sister looked like she didn't know what to do, and it was really annoying to pretend to be a sisterly in front of her.
Sure enough, what kind of sisterhood is deep, isn't it just a man. It's ridiculous.
A woman's cry came from the courtyard of Mrs. Xie's house.
ββ¦β¦ It's all the trouble caused by the Liu family. It turned out that I had already seen the eldest sister in the shop, and she threw flowers and grass, and the eldest sister was also a fool, so she secretly promised the son of the Liu family. Who knew that he turned his head and fell in love with the second sister again. The eldest sister, this child, is also bent on evil. Do this to her sister ......."
ββ¦β¦ The eldest lady is all caused by the Liu family, we can't stop...."
Xie Yao frowned at Xie Rouhui when she heard this.
"It's asking the eldest lady to go to prison with her family." She chuckled in a low voice, "I want the eldest lady to tell me about family affairs again." Marry both sisters and suppress this shameful thing. β
Xie Rouhui raised her feet and walked into the door, and the maids and servants in the courtyard saluted one after another, shouting loudly that the eldest lady was coming.
Seeing Xie Rouhui come in, a woman in her thirties who was kneeling on the ground and crying in the room suddenly wiped her tears at Xie Rouhui again.
"Miss, you have come just in time, you have to be sorry forβ" she cried.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Yao's frown.
"Aunt Hua, the eldest lady has just finished a sacrifice." She said, "Tomorrow is going to be the mine, what are you crying for?" β
Ordering a new mine is a big deal at home.
If something goes wrong, if the clan blames her for the bad luck caused by crying, then she will die.
The woman was frightened and stopped crying.
"The eldest lady has worked hard." She said hurriedly, squeezing out a smile.
Xie Rouhui smiled kindly at her.
"Auntie, sit down." She said.
The woman was busy giving gifts.
"No, no..."She said, before she finished speaking, Xie Rouhui had already walked past her to Mrs. Xie, and her words could only stop abruptly, standing in place very embarrassed.
"How's the sacrifice?" Mrs. Xie had already opened her mouth to ask.
"It went well." Xie Rouhui said.
"Yes, ma'am, it's going well, the sun is bright, and there is a colorful glow, it's a good omen." Several servant women said with a smile.
Mrs. Xie stroked the tea bowl.
"Hopefully tomorrow will be auspicious as well." She said.
Xie Rouhui smiled.
"Tomorrow's business, the ...... of the mine," she said, turning her head to look at the woman who was still standing in the middle of the conversation, "Mother, I'll go back and wash up first." β
The woman's face turned red.
At her age, doesn't she understand what Xie Rouhui means by this? The mother and daughter were about to get down to business, but the eldest lady didn't want to embarrass her for her sake, so she avoided it first.
The two daughters in the family are already ashamed enough, how can she be embarrassed again.
"The eldest lady is also tired, and the eldest lady still has a lot of things to do, so I will leave first." She said with a salute, and did not forget to squeeze out a flattering smile, "Ore is a big deal, what's the use, the eldest lady and the eldest lady must speak." β
Mrs. Xie didn't even bother to smile at her, so she replied.
Xie Rouhui smiled and thanked her, the woman was flattered and grateful, and resented her two daughters even more, blaming them for not pleasing the eldest lady, but causing the family to be embarrassed in front of the eldest lady.
There are other sisters in the family, and they can't be dragged down by the two of them.
The woman made a decision in her heart, and immediately went back to let the two sisters hang herself, saying that the two sisters could not be humiliated by the Liu family, so that they could not only leave a reputation for righteousness, but also have an excuse to get rid of the Liu family.
Thinking of this, the woman did not hesitate any longer, and bowed to Mrs. Xie and Xie Rouhui.
"What is this called, the sisters of my own family cannibalize each other......" Mrs. Xie said coldly, and when she saw Xie Rouhui again, thinking that the sisters in the family were not a couple, her heart was as bitter as if she had eaten Coptis chinensis, and she was surging and angry, she raised her hand and slapped it on the table, "Don't let me see their family again." β
The maids and servants in the house were frightened and hurried.
"Mother's trivial matters don't matter, don't be in a bad mood." Xie Rouhui said.
Xie Yao hurriedly brought tea in person.
"Yes, madam, you don't know, Aunt Hua's family is very treacherous, and she hides it when she gets a benefit. After suffering a loss, he shouted everywhere about the Xie family. She said seriously, "It's their own family style that is not right, and they can't complain about others." β
Yes, for a man to be a sister like this, it can be seen how inferior the character is.
Mrs. Xie took the tea.
"This little thing can't hurt my mood, as long as tomorrow's mine is pointed, don't do what happened last time." She said nonchalantly.
The last incident naturally refers to the collapse of the mine shortly after Mrs. Xie's death.
Afterwards, under the arrangement of the old men of the Xie family, it was said that it was caused by the uneasiness of the mountain god after the death of Mrs. Xie, and a sacrifice was carried out. After pacifying the miners and the people, he uncovered it.
After all, mine accidents are not uncommon. The Xie family's mine is already considered to have very few accidents.
But it was obvious that Mrs. Xie still kept it firmly in her heart, and put the fault on her.
What did it matter to her that time, the mountain god was going to be angry, the mine was going to collapse, what could she do?
Obviously, Mrs. Xie herself was embarrassed. but he poured out his anger on her head.
Xie Rouhui hated in her heart. The expression on his face is more sincere.
"Follow your mother's teachings. The daughter shall do her best. She bowed her head.
Mrs. Xie felt that she was a little powerless when she punched the cotton, and this daughter was kind and docile inside and out. It seems that she will never see her angry, she used to think that this is the real eldest lady's style, but now she always feels that she can't figure it out and can't grasp it.
But what can be done? She doesn't expect any sisterly affection anymore, as long as she can take on the responsibility of Lord Dan and maintain the prosperity of the Xie family, it is enough.
And when Xie Rouhui gives birth to a daughter, let's raise her well.
After all, the birth of twin sisters was an accident.
Thinking of this, she temporarily put aside the matter of ordering the mine tomorrow, but it was the marriage of the king of Dongping County who reminded her.
It's time to marry Xie Rouhui.
However, before she got married, she first settled the family affairs of the king of Dongping County, so that the two families became in-laws, and Xie Rouhui's family affairs must be more honorable.
"Ma'am, tea."
A soft voice in her ear said, interrupting Mrs. Xie's distraction.
Mrs. Xie saw that it was Xie Yao.
"Ma'am, I changed my cup of tea." Xie Yao said hurriedly.
Mrs. Xie glanced at her, Xie Yao didn't laugh at her anymore, but poured tea and held it to Xie Rouhui's side, and whispered something with a smile, Xie Rouhui took it with a smile.
Mrs. Xie took a sip of tea.
"Yaoyao, you're sixteen years old, right?" She asked.
This sentence sounded in the ears of Xie Rouhui and Xie Yao at the same time like a muffled thunder, but one was frightened and the other was surprised.
The matter of marrying the king of Dongping County, because of a mine collapse, Mrs. Xie seemed to have forgotten, and Xie Rouhui was also happy that she didn't mention it anymore, because she really didn't want to think about it for a while, and she didn't know what to think, but she knew that this matter did really happen, especially Mrs. Xie had revealed that the king of Dongping County sent Geng Ti here, which shows the sincerity of the marriage.
Regarding the big marriage that the Xie family is about to tie into, although Xie Rouhui said that it is not suitable for her, Xie Yao does not take Xie Rouhui's words seriously, Xie Rouhui's so-called inappropriateness is just for herself, not for others, these days she hides her heart, does not mention or inquire about half a sentence, so that Xie Rouhui thinks that she really let go, and let her follow her as an assistant, and also have the opportunity to have more contact with Mrs. Xie.
The day has finally arrived!
Both thought at the same time.
"Mother, I would like to ask my mother again about the scriptures of the mine." Xie Rouhui seemed to think of something and said, "I'm a little worried. β
Mrs. Xie suddenly sulked in her heart.
"What do you have to worry about? All of themβ" She said, seeing Xie Yao, and swallowing the rest, "Yaoyao, go back first." β
Xie Yao screamed in his heart, but he didn't dare to be dissatisfied at all, so he bowed his head and retreated.
The maids and servants in the house also withdrew, leaving only Mrs. Xie and her mother and daughter.
"Our Xie family is in urgent need of a new mine now, and they are more dedicated than you." Mrs. Xie said, "The places have been selected after many times, and you just need to complete the ore counting ceremony with awe." β
Speaking of this, I didn't know where the evil spirit came from in my heart, and I couldn't help but glance at Xie Rouhui.
"As long as you don't fall on your feet."
Old!
Xie Rouhui's anger rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, she stood up suddenly, and then lowered her head again, so as not to be seen by Mrs. Xie with unconcealed hatred.
"Yes, Mother, I'll do it well." She steadied her voice and said solemnly, word by word.
