Chapter 27: Wait and see
"Going to play?"
Mrs. Xie listened to her husband's words, frowned and asked repeatedly.
Xie Rouhui on the side breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, yes, Jiajia just said to play with her grandmother." She said.
Mrs. Xie glanced at her.
"Go back to sleep, you have to go to school tomorrow." She said.
Xie Rouhui responded and saluted Xie Wenxing.
Xie Wenxing nodded with a smile and watched her walk out.
"It's playing."
Xie Rouhui listened to her father's voice spread behind her.
ββ¦β¦ Kicking shuttlecocks, turning ropes, eating and drinking, my mother is like the New Year. β
"What is she doing here?"
"I asked her, and Jiajia said that she felt that her mother was too lonely, so she wanted to play with her."
"Hah! What does she want to do? β
"Please your mother."
"I know she wants to please her mother, why should she please her?"
Xie Wenxing smiled.
"It's to please my mother." He said, "As a child, is there a reason to please your parents? β
Mrs. Xie understood what he meant, and frowned again.
"I think she not only pleases her mother, but also yours." She said, "You just continue to protect her, and you will be happy when there is a brotherly enmity." β
Xie Wenxing laughed.
"Jia Jia said that she would not make trouble with Shu'er again, and she would not go to please her mother to deal with Shu'er's anger, she said that she wanted to play with her mother." He said.
"Do you believe it?" Mrs. Xie snorted.
"I believe it." Xie Wenxing said with a smile.
Mrs. Xie glanced at him, got up and walked to the inner room.
"Ayuan, Jiajia is a sensible child, why don't you believe it." Xie Wenxing said, "Think about her behavior these days, is there really anything wrong?" β
Mrs. Xie stopped.
"She had a few gaffes, that was because she was sick, and afterwards she realized her mistake and admitted her mistake, and this time she had a quarrel with Shu'er, in addition to insisting on not admitting that she was wrong, she didn't quarrel with Shu'er anymore." Xie Wenxing continued, "I also know that I endorse seriously, and I also know that it is obviously a good thing to go to the knees of the elders to do filial piety, how can you think that she is uneasy and kind?" β
yes, it seems like a ......
"Ayuan." Xie Wenxing shook his head with a smile, "Are you a little harsh on Jiajia?" β
Is it harsh?
"Then we have to see if I'm being harsh, or if she's trying to mess around." Mrs. Xie snorted.
Xie Wenxing smiled.
"Okay, we'll see." He said, "Do you dare to bet? If you win, I'll do it, and if you lose, I'll do it......"
"your..."
The sound of the parents frolicking in the house came, and Xie Rouhui, who walked to the gate of the courtyard, looked back again, the girls lowered their heads and exited one after another, and the lights in the house went out little by little.
"There are some things I really don't understand."
Xie Rouhui said suddenly.
Konoha who was walking beside her looked sideways.
Ever since she left Mrs. Xie's courtyard, Xie Rouhui has been silent.
"Miss, what's the matter?" She asked hurriedly.
By this time they had already entered the courtyard, and the lanterns in the courtyard had been extinguished, and the darkness was full of the peace of the night.
Xie Rouhui didn't speak, and raised her head to look at the room.
The lights in the main hall were much dimmer compared to those in Xie Roujia's house.
"Jiajia hasn't slept yet?" She asked.
The girls who greeted him smiled and saluted.
"Second Miss is reading." One said.
Xie Rouhui stopped talking, looking at the small figure sitting in the window over there, it seemed to be lifting a pen and seeming to be reading.
"Miss, do you want to go and see? The second lady is sensible, but don't work too hard, it's not good to hurt your eyes. Konoha smiled and walked towards Xie Roujia's house.
Xie Rouhui walked towards her room.
"I'm going to wash up first." She said.
Konoha's footsteps paused.
Isn't the eldest lady going? In the past, when the eldest lady came back, she always had to see her sister before going to wash.
She didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly turned around and followed.
"You go and talk to Jiajia, don't look too late, be careful not to come tomorrow." Xie Roujia said with a smile again.
The girls smiled and replied.
"The slave maid went to say it herself, don't worry, eldest lady." Konoha said with a smile, watching Xie Rouhui being hugged into the clean room, and she stepped into Xie Roujia's bedroom.
Xie Roujia had already loosened her hair, sitting on the Luohan bed in **, turning a book cross-legged, next to Jiang Ling tilted her head and held the lamp, Mu Xiang watched the little girls add mosquito repellent incense and put the yarn tent.
"Second Miss is still studying?" Konoha said.
"No, no." Xie Roujia said, "I'm thinking about something else. β
"Something else?" Konoha asked, puzzled.
"I said I was looking for ......," Mu Xiang said with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiangling.
"Miss said don't sue others." She said busily.
Konoha was stunned.
This is the first time she has heard this kind of words, the two young ladies have been together since they were born, although they say that they have assigned girls, but in fact, everyone is mixed together, and you and I are not distinguished.
Others? She's someone else.
"Jiangling!" Mu Xiang pulled down his face and shouted.
"No, no, no." Xie Roujia waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's to be kept secret, I'm going to find something to do, but I can't let people know about it before." β
Konoha smiled and replied.
"It's not too early, the second lady goes to bed early, no matter how important things are, you can't get out of your body." She said.
Didn't ask anything more.
Xie Roujia nodded.
"I know, I'll go to sleep when I'm done looking for this book." She said, looking at Mu Xiang and thinking of something, "Is my sister back?" β
Konoha nodded.
"I'm going to wash up." She said, "I specially told me to let the second lady go to bed quickly." β
Xie Roujia smiled.
"Hurry up and go to sleep, don't look at it anymore, the eldest lady will come to urge you in person." Konoha smiled as he turned around and said goodbye.
When Konoha came out but saw that the lights in the hall had gone out, she was stunned, and then saw that the girls in Xie Rouhui's house were retreating.
"Lady rested?" She asked in a low voice.
The girls nodded.
I slept, but did I come to talk to my sister?
Konoha glanced at Xie Roujia, and the figure of the little girl on the window lattice swayed.
The lanterns under the porch went out a few more times, and no one moved around the courtyard anymore, falling into the silence of the night.
"Oops, oops."
There was a low cry of pain in the room of the girls, and soon the sound was gone.
Jiang Ling only had half of her hair scattered, was wearing a small coat, and was brought in by Mu Xiang's ears.
"Sister, sister, what's wrong with me?" She said aggrievedly.
Mu Xiang let go of her, raising her eyebrows and sinking her face.
"How do you talk to Konoha?" She whispered.
Jiang Ling reached out and rubbed his ears.
"What's wrong with me?" She said.
Mu Xiang stretched out his hand again, and Jiang Ling hurriedly covered his ears and jumped away.
"Don't rely on the second lady to look at you differently, it's not big or small, why are you yelling at Konoha?" Woody aroma.
Since that nightmare incident, Mrs. Xie has promoted Jiang Ling to a third-class girl to serve Xie Roujia closely, which is like the scholars of the young masters in the outer courtyard, who accompany them to play and run errands, and they are incomparable with the close-fitting girls who control the food and clothing of the young ladies.
"I'm afraid that sister, you won't listen to Miss." Jiang Ling said.
Mu Xiang raised his hand, and Jiang Ling hurriedly ran away.
"You're amazing! I'm not as good as you, and I'll ask Sister Jiangling for your advice in the future. Mu Xiang said.
JMC smiled.
"It's my mistake, I shouldn't believe you, sister." She said, ran back to Mu Xiang, and stretched her head over, "Sister, hit me out of anger." β
Mu Xiang exhaled and slapped her with his hand.
"Go to sleep." She said.
Jiang Ling smiled and ran out of the house.
Jiangling's bed is in the room on the other side, and it is not enough to live in the same room with Mu Xiang and the others.
At this time, the girl who was combing her hair on the other side of the room put down the grate and turned around.
"Sister Mu Xiang, this Jiangling is really powerful." She said, "She didn't take you seriously, you listened to her apology just now, is that an apology?" β
Jiang Ling admitted his mistake just now, and he recognized the words of cutting off Mu Xiang, rather than an unkind attitude towards Konoha.
"Look, you said she would leave when you said she would, and I don't care if you're angry or not." The girl continued, "I promise she'll do it again next time she encounters this." β
Mu Xiang exhaled and reached out to pluck the hairpin.
"I know." She said, "I have already seen that this Jiangling is only the second lady in his eyes." β
At this she laughed again.
"It's as if we have someone else in our eyes." She said to the girl.
"I know what you mean." The girl smiled, got up and walked to the bedside, "She only has the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the second miss in her eyes, and she doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, as long as the second miss listens to what the second miss says, and what the second miss wants to do, she thinks it's good, except for the second miss, right and wrong, rules, respect, and other people's joys and angers, she doesn't care." β
Muxiang exhaled and sat down in front of her dressing table.
"This kind of person can win the favor of the master the most, especially the young young master, who loves to play and is not very sensible, where can he stand this kind of coaxing." The girl over there continued while making the bed, "It seems to be a loyal servant, but in fact it is the most evil, and this kind of person does not know how much it has been sold." β
Woody comb your hair a little.
"This Jiangling can't move yet." She said.
"I know, I'm afraid that the second lady will get sick again." The girl said that she was lying on the bed, shaking her fan, "So sister, don't be angry, she is so arrogant, who can't see it, she can't jump for a few days." β
I hope to do my best, she always feels that the second lady does seem to be more sensible, but there is still something strange that is different from before.
Mu Xiang put down the grate and blew out the lamp.
"Hey, what is the second lady going to do? And no one sues sΓΉ? β
A question rang out in the darkness.
"I don't know, I didn't even say it, but when I came back, I started asking for books, and I still wanted medical books."
"Second Miss is really a little unpredictable now, we thought she would go west, she went east, fortunately the result was not bad every time."
"Since the result is good, then don't worry, it means that the second lady still has a spectrum in her heart, go to sleep."
This is the end of the Q&A, and there is silence inside and out.
When the sky was slightly bright, Xie Roujia ran out of the house, and Xie Rouhui, who threw a handful of grain to the peacock in the yard, turned her head and waved and smiled at her.
Xie Roujia ran over with a smile.
"What did you play with Grandma?" Xie Rouhui asked, handing her a handful of grain.
Xie Roujia threw it to the peacock in the fence circle, and answered in detail.
The two sisters held hands and laughed at the peacock, and the sky was brighter.
"Miss, comb your hair, it's time to go to Madame's." Konoha said with a smile as he stood under the porch.
Xie Roujia raised the last bit of grain in her hand high, and the peacocks screamed and scrambled, and the giggling laughter echoed in the courtyard in the early morning.
"Don't be naughty, let's go." Xie Rouhui said with a smile, stroking Xie Roujia's long hair hanging behind her.
Xie Roujia nodded, took her sister's hand and ran into the house.
The days were calm again, Xie Roujia was not lazy and late for school, did not fail to answer her husband's questions, did not fail to finish her homework, and did not quarrel with Xie Roushu.
Xie Roujia still went to Mrs. Xie's side after school and dinner, kicked the shuttlecock and joked for an hour, and retired after eating supper sugar water.
Mrs. Xie did not wait for the news that Xie Roushu was not allowed to come to the door in the third room, and did not wait for the news that someone in the third room was called by the old lady to reprimand, but got the news that the third lady spoke to the old lady when she asked the old lady to say goodbye and was rewarded with a box of jewelry.
"Opening the box is really full of jewels, and the three ladies are reluctant to put it into the warehouse, and they sleep all night with their arms in their arms."
The words from the subordinates were a bit exaggerated, but Mrs. Xie knew in her heart that what her mother rewarded must be excellent things, and her mother's rewards must be really rewarded, not to indulge or exaggerate and belittle.
"Or, is it the second lady who complains that the fourth lady is not good to her, so the old lady will envelop the third lady and let the fourth miss be better to the second miss?" A girl guessed.
Mrs. Xie laughed.
"What nonsense." Before Mrs. Xie could speak, the other girls next to her shook their heads with a smile, "How can the old lady please others." β
Others don't like the old lady, and the old lady will only make him dislike himself even more.
If the second lady really complains about the fourth lady, the old lady will never give the third lady a box of jewelry, and will only use this box of jewelry to smash the third lady's head.
Since the third lady's head has not been smashed now, it means that the second lady has not complained about it.
"Madam, it seems that you are going to lose the bet with the eldest master this time." The big girl covered her mouth and grinned.
The daughter did not let herself down, this kind of bet is willing to lose, and the betting chip is also willing......
Mrs. Xie's face flushed slightly, and she shook her fan and coughed lightly.
"Not necessarily, let's see."
Although Xie Roujia's home school is safe and stable, the discussion about her still spreads.
Miss Xie Er was rude and willful, and she didn't allow her cousin to come to the door because she had nightmares.
Miss Xie Er is rampant, raising peacocks in the yard where she lives, and the strange screams of rattling don't care about others, and Miss Xie, who lives in a yard, has blue eyes.
Second Miss Xie was jealous of her ability, and in order to prevent Miss Fourth from being better than her to endorse the book, she deliberately made Miss Fourth unable to memorize the book.
Miss Xie Er never cares if she gets into trouble, she wants her sister Miss Xie to deal with the aftermath, Miss Xie endures it, and apologizes to others for her.
"She won't admit her mistake, and now she still says that I can't memorize the book."
Xie Rou Shuxian, who was surrounded by a group of girls, said indignantly.
"Can't I carry it? You ask Huihui, Yaoyao, they all heard it. β
There was a sound of footsteps behind them, and everyone looked back and saw a girl in a moon-white shirt and pink skirt walking briskly.
The girls were silent for a while, all eyes on her, trying to tell whether they should meet her enthusiastically or ......
The girl quickly approached.
"Phew." She suddenly made this voice at Xie Roushu.
The girls immediately coaxed and knew who it was.
"Xie Roujia!" Xie Roushu jumped to her feet and shouted.
Xie Roujia had already walked away, and her girls outside the school took it, and one of them also made a gesture at Xie Roushu here.
"If there is really a master, there will be a subordinate." Xie Roushu shouted, "You look so arrogant. β
The girls nodded.
"Fourth sister." There was another voice behind him.
Everyone looked back and saw the little girl who looked exactly the same coming over, dressed almost the same, except that the shirt was red and the skirt was white.
If this is put together, everyone will definitely not be able to tell the difference.
"Megumi."
The voices of the same voice sounded at the same time, and people also rushed over, and Xie Roushu took a lot of effort to stand beside Xie Rouhui.
"Megumii, look at that girl." She complained, and stretched out her hand to point to Xie Roujia, who had long since disappeared.
"Isn't it all right, don't mess with her." Xie Rouhui said with a smile.
"I didn't mess with her, she scolded me first." Xie Roushu said, looking at everyone, "You all saw it." β
Some of the girls nodded, while most pretended not to hear.
After all, Xie Roujia is the second lady, and she has a sister who loves her very much, not everyone dares to offend her at will like Xie Roushu, Xie Roujia's bad words can be said in private, but they still don't dare in front of other people's sisters.
Xie Rouhui doesn't turn her face with her own cousin, but she doesn't promise not to turn her face with other cousins.
"Who let you get in her way?"
Before Xie Rouhui could speak, Xie Yao smiled and said first.
"The second lady is in a hurry to go to the old lady."
Old lady!
The girls present were a little quieter.
Old Madam Xie is an old monster for girls of this age.
"You're still messing with her, aren't you afraid that she will sue you?" Xie Yao smiled and continued.
A trace of fear flashed in Xie Roushu's eyes, but she must not show weakness in front of so many people.
"I'm not afraid, I'm just waiting for her to let me not enter the house again like the Shao family's cousin." She snorted.
"Don't talk nonsense, Jiajia won't." Xie Rouhui shook her head at this time and said.
"Okay, okay, I won't go to school tomorrow, and I have time to play, so let's go back quickly." Xie Rou said in a muffled voice.
The girls hurriedly said goodbye to each other, and scattered in pairs.
Xie Roushu muttered and had to follow.
"Recently, the second lady has been going to the old lady every day?" Xie Yao asked.
Xie Rouhui nodded.
"Now even dinner is at my grandmother's." She laughed.
"So I'm going to pester the old lady again, and I'm not going to be your little tail anymore." Xie Yao smiled, holding Xie Rouhui's arm, "Second Miss, what's wrong?" β
Xie Roushu snorted when she heard it.
"How can I be, I will get more benefits from pestering the old lady." She said, "Pestering Huihui, can you keep Cousin Shao from entering our house?" β
Xie Rouqing glared at her.
"What do you say?" She said.
"Am I not right? With the old lady as a backer, her wishes come true. Xie Roushu said, "The old lady is better than Hui Hui, the old lady can let Cousin Shao not enter the door, Hui Hui, can you let your cousin enter the door?" β
Xie Rouhui's footsteps paused.
