Chapter Twenty-Nine: Going to See
As soon as Xie Roujia opened her eyes, she looked for her sister, and Xie Rouhui watched the two mothers-in-law feed the peacocks in the yard.
"Give it a name, this one is called Big Flower, and this one is called Second Flower." She said to her mother-in-law.
The two mothers-in-law smiled and nodded in response.
"Miss likes to let them be called whatever they want." They flattered.
Xie Roujia ran out and asked Xie Rouhui what she was doing today.
Xie Rouhui touched her head and said that Xie Roushu had a textbook and would not invite her to talk about it.
"She can't ask her brother?" Xie Roujia muttered, but thinking of Xie Roushu's fate in her dream, she didn't object too much to her deliberately pleasing her sister.
In any case, it is also a young life.
"Jiajia is going with you? We write together. Xie Rouhui said.
"Nope." Xie Roujia immediately shook her head, although she didn't mind that Xie Roushu was friendly with her sister, she didn't want to get close to Xie Roushu.
I can't remember how it was before, but now she can see it clearly, Xie Roushu doesn't like her.
"I'll go to my grandmother to tie a lantern." She continued, "On August 15, I'm going to make my own lanterns." ”
Xie Rouhui smiled and told her not to hurt her hands, so the sisters washed and combed their hair, and went to their mother's place to eat hand in hand.
"Is my father going out too?" She asked again.
Xie Wenxing nodded.
"Go to Bishan with your second uncle." He said, and glanced at Xie Roujia when he said this.
Bishan Shao's family, Shao Mingqing's home is in Bishan.
Xie Roujia lowered her head and gulped down her food, without the slightest reaction.
Xie Wenxing breathed a sigh of relief, stopped talking, and the family of four lowered their heads to eat quietly.
After eating, I listened to the stewards in the outer courtyard, and someone said that the second master had prepared the car, Xie Wenxing walked outside with the little servant, and only after crossing the mezzanine road did he hear footsteps behind him.
"Father, father."
Xie Wenxing turned around in surprise and saw Xie Rouqing trotting with a girl, is this Jiajia or Huihui? He was also a little stunned for a moment.
"Father, it's not interesting to tie a lantern, my third sister and I will go to Bishan with you and my second uncle to play." The girl said.
It's Jiajia.
Just talking about how she plays with things that require patience like tying lanterns, Xie Wenxing smiled, but then frowned.
Going to Bishan?
"We can go to the Temple of Literature to watch the lion dance, do you remember the lion dance you went to see when you were a child?" Xie Rouqing said.
Xie Wenxing looked at his daughter and nodded with a smile.
"The lion doesn't dance every day." He smiled and said, "But when the time comes, let your second uncle tell the Dong Family Pavilion, let's watch a lion dance." ”
Before his words fell, the two girls clapped happily and said yes.
Looking at his cheering daughter, Xie Wenxing also smiled, since Jiajia recovered from his illness, he hadn't gone out for several months, it was time to go out for a walk, he turned around and told the little girl to prepare the car.
Second Master Xie looked at the two girls who were in the car.
"Don't go to your grandfather's house." He whispered to Xie Rouqing.
Xie Rouqing smiled and nodded.
"I know my father, don't worry, I'll accompany Jiajia to play in the city." She whispered too.
Only then did the second master Xie feel relieved to take a car with Xie Wenxing first, the two girls sat alone, and there was a mother-in-law and a girl in the back, and drove out of the gate of Xie's house under the support of the nursing home.
"Hui..."Xie Rouqing lowered the curtain, looked at the girl on the side and whispered, and the words stopped again, "Do I have to pretend not to know?" ”
"Of course." Xie Rouhui said, looking at Xie Rouqing and grinning, "Do I pretend to look like you?" ”
Xie Rouqing smiled bitterly.
"Actually, I've never been able to tell you apart." She muttered.
Xie Rouhui smiled and grabbed her arm.
"Still, I thank you." Xie Rouqing said.
"No, I should thank you." Xie Rouhui covered her mouth and smiled.
Xie Rouqing shook her head.
"Although you are thinking about Jiajia, doing so can be regarded as relieving the embarrassment of Cousin Mingqing." She said.
Xie Rouhui grinned, holding Xie Rouqing's arm and tilting her head to look at her.
"Third sister, you value your cousin very much?" She said, "My eldest cousin didn't even have a few kind words from you." ”
She accentuated the tone of this and the eldest cousin, expressing the difference in status of the two cousins.
Shao Mingqing is a concubine, and the biological mother is still a fireworks pedestrian who has been redeemed and taken off the nationality, this little concubine is not blessed, and she died of illness not long after giving birth to a child, although Master Shao is a businessman, but he is also an amorous species, and shed a lot of tears for the deceased concubine, and also took the child to Mrs. Shao to raise herself.
This can also be regarded as Shao Mingqing's blessing, but despite this, it can't be the same as Mrs. Shao's own child.
"Big cousin, I don't need to say nice things about me." Xie Rouqing said.
That's right, how many people are still waiting for Young Master Shao to say good things.
Xie Rouhui sneered.
"When I was a kid, I went to my uncle's house and they laughed at me." Xie Rouqing continued, looking at the scenery outside the swaying gauze curtain, "Only Cousin Mingqing doesn't laugh at me." ”
Xie Rouhui sighed suddenly, but she was a little unimpressed.
"Maybe he doesn't dare laugh at you." She said.
No matter how good-looking Xie Rouqing is, not everyone can make fun of her.
Xie Rouqing shook her head.
"It's not that he doesn't dare, he doesn't." She said, a smile on her lips, "The fifth cousin said that he is the same as me, so none of us laugh at anyone." ”
He's the same as Xie Rouqing?
Xie Rouhui couldn't help but stare at Xie Rouqing, although she had only met once, Shao Mingqing's appearance was unforgettable, of course, Xie Rouqing was also unforgettable, but these two feelings of not forgetting were completely different.
One is amazing, the other is terrifying, where is the same!
But in this way, this Shao Mingqing must be very good at coaxing girls, so it's better, she came this time to let him coax herself.
Xie Rouhui sighed.
"It turns out that he is so good to the third sister." She nodded, "Then I have to apologize to Jia Jia for him, otherwise it won't be one person who will be hurt." ”
"I'm afraid Jiajia will be very angry." Xie Rouqing also sighed and said.
"How so." Xie Rouhui said, holding Xie Rouqing's hand, "We are for Jiajia's good." ”
Xie Rouqing smiled.
yes, for her good, so what's wrong with them?
"Then let's say it again, and then it won't work." She said in a low voice.
The two little girls in the car approached and whispered together.
…………………………………….
The Shao family in Bishan is also talking about when they were young.
It is a spacious courtyard, with pomegranate trees, grape trellises, and koi swimming happily in the delicately stacked pools, all of which show the abundance and serenity of the years.
Seven or eight young men sat or stood under the trellises, and the dice gurgled and swirled on the planks with the sound of brushing.
"When the Xie family's cousin was a child, it was even more ugly than now." The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy wearing a stone green summer shirt said.
"Yes, fourteenth brother, you have to remember that grandmother said that if someone who doesn't know sees it, they won't believe it's my aunt's daughter." The young man behind him immediately nodded and said.
"It's all because they thank the family." The young man in Shi Qingxia's shirt said, "How can our family be so ugly." ”
As he said this, he looked up at the person sitting across from him.
This person is one or two years younger than him, wearing a moon-white summer shirt, and at this time he is intently watching the dice on the wooden board turning, and his already bright eyes are becoming more and more brilliant with the rotation of the dice.
"Look at our seventeenth brother." He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and shake his fan and said with a smile, "How good-looking it is, those Oiran red cards can't compare." ”
The boys laughed.
"yes, yes." Someone chimed in, "I really don't know why the young lady of the Xie family didn't take a fancy to the seventeenth brother?" ”
"The young lady of the Xie family is only eleven years old this year, she is too young to understand beauty and ugliness." Some people also pretended to be serious and said, and looked at the young man again, "Mingqing, don't be sad, wait another two or three years, then Miss Xie will regret dying." ”
The teenagers laughed again.
"Six."
In this laughter, the clear voice was a little abrupt, and the laughter of everyone who shouted was a little broken.
"I've ascended." Shao Mingqing said, reaching out and moving a chess piece to the middle of the chessboard, "I won." ”
He looked up and smiled.
The people around the laughing were a little dazzling and a little annoyed, and everyone looked down at the dice, and only after repeated confirmation did they unwillingly admit defeat.
"Give money, give money." Shao Mingqing didn't care about everyone's displeasure at all, and stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "Don't be poor, don't cry poor, the young masters of our family are not short of this money." ”
This made the angry teenagers laugh again.
"Aren't you the young master of the Shao family? How do you look like you're so short of this money! Shi Qingshan smiled angrily, "Every time he chases us." ”
Shao Mingqing smiled at him.
"Brother Fourteen." He said, "It's not money, it's a lottery, and it means a lot." ”
Young Master Shao Fourteen laughed.
"If you win ten dollars in a promotion chart, it will be of extraordinary significance." He said, waving his hand, "Shao Mingyang, take the money and take the money." ”
The young man standing behind him hurriedly untied the money bag, counted ten money carefully, and handed it to Shao Mingqing.
"Take it and congratulate the seventeenth young master on his ascension." He said.
Everyone laughed again and paid for it.
"Really, every time you play the lottery, you win."
"I won't play with you next time."
Everyone muttered and complained, Shao Mingqing didn't care about anything, and happily collected the money.
No matter what time it is, he looks happy, and he doesn't care whether others are happy or not, and he really thinks that he was born as a big wife.
Shao Mingyang just couldn't get used to him like this.
"The seventeenth brother is so smart, since Miss Xie can't look down on it, she will go to the top exam." He said with a grin.
When he said this, someone laughed.
"It's better to be a son-in-law." A teenager said with a strange smile.
Everyone goes to school together, everyone knows how Shao Mingqing's books read, he looks smart and clever, and he is proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, but he can't read books.
Looking at the sons born to the eldest lady who have succeeded in their studies, it can be seen that who raised them does not work, or who gave birth to them.
The drama is a flower shelf, and it is useless.
The boys laughed again, which is probably why they are easy to lose anything they play with this kid, but they will call him no matter what they play.
It's fun.
Shao Mingqing also laughed and put away the color head.
"Not necessarily." He said, looking at the person who spoke, "Then it depends on whose son-in-law you want to be, don't tell people this nonsense, if you don't really lose the face of the young master of the Shao family, do you want people to say that our Shao family can't even afford to raise a son and want to give it to someone as a son-in-law?" ”
is also a son-in-law, but the meaning of being a son-in-law for the Xie family or for someone else's family is completely different.
If anyone really dares to say in front of Master Shao that Shao Mingqing will go to someone other than the Xie family to make money, no, let alone Shao Mingqing, who is loved by Master Shao, is just an insignificant concubine, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Master Shao.
Recruiting their son to others is the path that only people who can't survive will choose, has their Shao family fallen to this point?
It's no wonder that Master Shao didn't give him a slap.
The man's face was embarrassed and at the same time a little annoyed.
This Shao Mingqing is like this, relying on the love of the old man and the big lady, and there is no one in his eyes.
"Alright, it's time for me to read the scriptures to my mother, brothers, and I'll play next time."
Without waiting for them to say anything more, Shao Mingqing gave a salute, took the money and staggered away.
"You see, it's going to please my wife."
"Like a girl, she mixes in front of her wife every day, either reading the scriptures or copying the scriptures, and giving her fat powder."
"Sure enough, it's a fox born in the play."
The cynicism and sneers rose chaotically, and Shao Mingqing quickly left behind.
"My wife has just finished her housework and is watching the two mothers-in-law reconcile." A little guy told him.
"Then let's go from the garden, pick some flowers, and then go over." Shao Mingqing said.
The little maid responded with a voice, and first ran to the garden to find the mother-in-law to pick flowers.
Shao Mingqing swayed over slowly, looked at the weeping willows by the stream, and couldn't help but grab it with his hand, and the willow leaves in early autumn fell one after another, dropping his head and body.
A female voice sneered.
Shao Mingqing immediately looked to the side.
"Who?" He said.
Someone leaned out from behind the rocks, and the little girl smiled brightly in the sun, and the small red gold pendant in her ear shone brightly.
"Cousin Shao, you are so naughty." She said.
Shao Mingqing squinted, looking at the person in front of him and seeming to have returned to that day.
The little girl pounced with her teeth and claws.
