Chapter 33: Resentment
Because of the arrival of Mrs. Fan, Mrs. Xie decided to hold a small banquet, and there were not many people invited, so it was arranged in the back garden of the Xie family's mansion.
In the room, Mrs. Xie was listening to the reply of the housekeeper's lady.
“…… Because Fan Gongzi was also there, the male guests were all arranged in the Water Pavilion to view the flowers, and the female dependents were in the Weeping Willow Pavilion behind the stage......"
The voice came into Xie Yao's ears one by one, Xie Yao was absent-minded, and it wasn't until someone poked her that she came back to her senses and saw that Mrs. Xie was looking at her.
"Yaoyao, have you already seen the old lady and others on the play list? Any other points? Mrs. Xie asked.
Xie Yao nodded hurriedly.
"I've sent it over in person, and I'm still picking it up, and I didn't reply at the time, so I'll get it back in a while." She said.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it hasn't been done yet, but it sounds like her thing has already been done.
But these are trivial things, and there is no need to ask other people's opinions about what was originally arranged, and the preferences of Mrs. Xie in this family are everyone's preferences.
Mrs. Xie hummed and turned her head to continue to talk about other things.
Xie Yao took advantage of this excuse and walked out.
The courtyard was full of people coming and going, and their faces were happy.
"It's a great event at home."
There are such words everywhere in my ears, and Xie Yao will think the same thing a few days ago, because Xie Rouhui is glorious, she will naturally get benefits, but now it seems that it is not a certain thing.
For example, such a good thing right now has nothing to do with her.
Xie Yao stood still under the weeping willows, only to feel full of anxiety, and then a woman's cry came from her ears.
"Don't stop me, I'll jump into the lake and drown."
Xie Yao scolded in his heart. I turned around and was about to leave, but it was still a step too late. Xie Roushu saw her.
"Xie Yao, Xie Yao." She shouted and shook off the girls who were pulling her through the bushes and ran over, "What are you up to?" Did you send the letter I wrote last time to Megumi? ”
"It's a non-stop boat. Where can it be delivered in time. Xie Yao said, "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when I come back." ”
Xie Roushu also threw it away, and pulled her sleeve again.
"I'm going to be." She said, "My mother actually scolded me for Xie Rouqing. ”
It was Xie Rouqing again, Xie Yao stopped and didn't shake off Xie Roushu.
“… I actually sent all the clothes and jewelry that were originally given to me to her. Xie Roushu said angrily, "I didn't let it go, she scolded me, and she didn't want to think about it, even if Xie Rouqing married a good family." That's not her daughter, I'm her daughter, and she doesn't want to dress me well, so I can find a good family......"
Since the people of the Zhu family were scolded by Miss Xie and ran away, Xie Roushu immediately flew into the sky with her tail, and she was triumphant at home, and her mother Song asked Xie Rouhui tentatively a few times, but she couldn't get a few clear words.
The Song family didn't dare to find someone to send Xie Roushu away at will, but they didn't like Xie Roushu much when they saw Xie Rouhui. didn't dare to use the banner of a big house to find a good family for Xie Roushu, and finally simply left it alone.
Xie Roushu has no heart and no lungs, and no one cares about it, growing up at home.
Xie Yao listened impatiently.
"How old are you, you get married all day long." She said.
Xie Roushu sighed.
"Rou Qing said kiss when she was only thirteen, I'm just one year younger than her, no. Half a year old, why can't I say it, and Yaoyao. You're a year older than Rouqing, why haven't you said kiss yet? She said. Another look of grievance, "I want to talk about kiss." It should be for you, too. ”
She said and sighed again, and glanced at Xie Yao.
"That's right, then Mrs. Fan's family should be in love with Yaoyao, why did you fall in love with Xie Rouqing? Where can you compare to her? ”
Xie Yao was furious and raised his hand to give her a slap.
Xie Roushu screamed when she was beaten.
Her girls naturally pretended not to see it as before.
"Why are you hitting me!" Xie Roushu cried.
If you expose someone's shortcomings, you will naturally slap you in the face!
Xie Yao snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Behind her, Xie Roushu began to jump into the lake again.
I didn't die after jumping so many times from childhood to adulthood, and I was pure if I died.
Xie Yao thought of it with hatred, and the thought of death flashed.
If Xie Rouqing died, he would really be pure.
The thought made her stop, and there was a commotion in her ears, as if someone was laughing.
Xie Yao hurriedly pressed her thumping heart, looked up, and saw that she had actually walked to the house of Second Master Xie, and the Shao family was walking out surrounded by a group of servant women, and when she saw her, she immediately smiled.
"Yaoyao, why are you here? Isn't it about hospitality? The eldest lady is busy over there. Shaw said.
Xie Yao sneered in his heart.
Because Xie Rouqing's March 3rd was amazing, Shaw Brothers and Xie Wenchang wanted Xie Rouqing to be close to Xie Rouhui, and with her identity as the only witch who completed March 3rd with the eldest lady, Miss Xie's assistant should be her in the future.
But Xie Rouqing was still the same as before, refusing to take half a step to Xie Rouhui's side.
So when Xie Rouhui recommended herself to Mrs. Xie before going out, Shaw was very angry, and saw that she also pulled her face and ignored her.
Now showing a smiling face is definitely not because it is pleasing to the eye, but because it can slap yourself in the face.
Look at what she said, do you dislike her for not working and delaying the banquet and wronging her son-in-law?
I haven't caught a glimpse of the eight characters yet!
"Madame asked me to ask the second lady about the main points of the banquet." Xie Yao said with a smile.
"What's there, Madame just arranges it." Shao Shi smiled, and thought of something, "Yaoyao, you can help me see what Mrs. Fan likes to hear, just say that I am the same as hers." ”
Bah!
Xie Yao said in her heart, the smile on her face did not decrease, and before she was about to speak, Shao Shi put aside her and shouted at the other side.
"Why did you come out in this dress again?" She said, "Didn't I have the clothes delivered?" ”
Xie Yao turned her head and saw Xie Rouqing being surrounded by seven or eight servant women, some with umbrellas and some with fans, just like a princess traveling.
It's just that she is still dressed the same as before, all those elegant dresses, and her appearance and figure are mediocre. It's not something that can be changed by dressing up, but it's easy to be laughed at and ugly.
"I don't want to wear it." Xie Rou said neatly. glanced at Xie Yao, "What is my mother looking for me?" ”
"What could be the matter. The eldest lady stayed at home, and I will take you over to meet her. Shaw laughed.
Xie Rouqing turned around and left.
Shaw glared angrily at her.
“…… Why are you so confused, kid? Everyone else is scrambling to get to them," she whispered.
"What about rushing to go?" Xie Rouqing said, "Mother, do you think I can see a flower by rushing to show it?" Besides, did they come to our house to see people? ”
Shaw laughed when he heard this.
That's right, when the Fan family entered the door, they directly named the second room and the third lady they liked.
The third lady Xie Rouqing is not hidden in the deep boudoir, and the people of the entire Bashu at the sacrifice on March 3 saw what she looked like.
If it is really to pick a good look, the Fan family really has no need for this.
"It's polite to see people and meet them." Shaw put his arm around her shoulder.
"I'm not going, I'll see you at the banquet." Xie Rouqing said, "I'm still busy practicing drums." ”
"Listen to me what you wear at the feast." Shaw said immediately.
Xie Rouqing hesitated and agreed.
Shaw happily rubbed her shoulder, boasting this and that. He also asked people to bring all kinds of good clothes and jewelry, and asked what else to add to the house.
Shaw has always had low self-esteem because of his daughter's appearance, figure, and voice, but he didn't expect to get such a good family affair now, and he can't wait to run two laps in Pengshui City to let people know.
“…… If you marry into the Fan family, you don't care what your status is at home, on the other hand, the Xie family is more willing to be good friends with the Fan family......" Shao Shi said with a smile, "Even if you are not the eldest lady's helper, you are not close to the eldest lady." You can be looked up to in both ......."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Xie Yao intentionally or unintentionally.
Xie Yao was furious again, and almost vomited blood in anger.
It's just a glimpse of the eight characters, and it's proud! If you are proud, you will be proud, what are you doing when you step on me!
But who made her a girl of the right age in the family.
Everyone thought that she would follow Miss Xie to participate in the March 3rd sacrifice. As a result, he was kicked down the day before he came to power, but Xie Rouqing played the drum as he wished, and also played the sacrificial drum that shocked Bashu.
And now it's like that again. She is good-looking, and she is the eldest lady's favorite playmate. And she was valued by Mrs. Xie, and everyone thought that her family affairs must be scrambled by hundreds of schools. The one with the best result begged Xie Rouqing.
She is obviously better than Xie Rouqing everywhere, but she is inferior to her in everything.
Xie Yao felt that wherever she walked now, others were secretly watching her, and they must be laughing at her in private.
So Xie Rouhui saw Xie Yao's undisguised grievances on the letter she received.
“…… I don't understand it either, but everyone compares me to her, just because she participated in the third day of March, and became the only witch who completed the sacrifice with you, and they all said that the son of the Fan family took a fancy to her at that time, and since this is the case, I have nothing to complain about, after all, I didn't participate in the third day of March, and I can't compare to her blockbuster......"
Xie Rouhui sneered and laughed when she saw this, and threw the letter on the table.
The small cabin is filled with lights, and the furnishings are very luxurious, and the curtains by the windows shake with the night breeze on the river, dissipating the stuffiness of the cabin.
A little girl tilted her head unabashedly to look at the letter she threw on the table.
"Miss." She raised her head and showed a small clever face, which was the handyman girl who was on an errand in Mrs. Xie's courtyard at the beginning, "Who is Miss Yao complaining about?" ”
"She's blaming me." Xie Rouhui smiled and looked at the string of red beads on her wrist, which was a gift from Princess Xianrong to her, "I complain that I am not as good as Xie Rouqing's drum, she is my person, but people don't look down on her, but choose Xie Rouqing who I don't like, that is to say, people don't look down on me, and my eldest lady's face doesn't seem to be of much use." ”
The little girl nodded.
"yes, that's infuriating." She said earnestly.
Yes, this is indeed something that makes people angry, there is no need for Xie Yao to fan the flames, she has countless anger now.
Xie Rouhui picked up the teacup.
"It's not too early for the eldest lady, let's rest first." The little girl said, as she went to close the window.
Xie Rouhui's eyes followed her and she could see that the big ship on the other side had been moored in front of the dock in the middle of the night, and the big ship was still brightly lit and dazzling.
Wishful people can naturally rest, and unsatisfactory people can rest without resting, not to mention that she has something that she hasn't figured out yet.
That, where did you learn to dance?
It is taught in the ordinary dance hall for sacrifice, but the witch dance involving mantras and prayers can only be learned by the Dannu of the Xie family, and can only be heard and seen in Mrs. Xie's study.
How could she?
Could it be that her mother taught her secretly?
Could it be that her mother's kindness to her in the past was inconsistent?
Xie Rouhui stood up and walked to the window, looking at the big boat over there, and muttered with her lips.
The little girl who stood close only felt that the sound was buzzing in her ears, as if there were mosquitoes lingering, but gradually there were more and more mosquitoes, which only made people upset, and her whole body became more and more uncomfortable......
The door slammed open.
Xie Rouhui stopped thinking and turned her head to look, and the little girl was also sitting on the ground, looking a little dazed and sweating.
"Miss." The person who came was a little girl, holding a letter in her hand, "Miss Yao's letter to you." ”
Her letter again?
This letter was just delivered less than a day ago, and another one was delivered, which means that Xie Yao wrote another one in less than half a day after writing this letter and sending it?
It's better to stop complaining so meaninglessly.
Xie Rouhui stretched out her hand and opened it, and her face suddenly changed.
No, the curse was fulfilled too quickly, right?
The little girl stood up against the wall, and saw the letter paper in her hand through the light behind Xie Rouhui, and a few words broke into sight.
Something happened at home. (To be continued......)
