Chapter 66: Gossip (Addition)
Xie Wenjun dismounted and saluted.
"Miss Song." He said.
The young woman who greeted him giggled.
Xie Wenjun's eyes looked at Xie Roujia before he could speak, but Miss Song had already spoken first.
"Fifth Master Xie, the children in the mountains are selling fish, look at the fish in the deep pool of Yushan that you have ever said, right?" She asked.
Children in the mountains?
Xie Wenjun looked at Xie Roujia with some surprise, and then looked at the snacks they were holding in their hands, as well as the baskets placed aside.
During the Chinese New Year, even if they wore coarse linen clothes, they still stood on the side of the road like beggars to eat......
Didn't the family's New Year's goods arrive? No way, he told it himself.
"Are you ......," he asked, frowning.
"Fifth Master Xie, we are idle during the New Year, so we came out to play." Xie Roujia grabbed the conversation and said, and looked at Miss Song again, "It turns out that Miss and the fifth master know each other, then we can't accept Miss Dick's snacks, if Miss likes this fish, let's go catch some more, there are many in the pool." β
The meaning of this salutation is to show that he is a villager in the mountains and wilderness, and has nothing to do with the Xie family of Fifth Master Xie.
If he called his uncle, and Xie Wenjun said that he was his niece, it would be difficult for these young ladies to wonder why the young ladies of the Xie family would fall into the mountains, which would be troublesome to explain.
After all, it is a family affair of the Xie family, and it is not a glamorous thing, so it is better not to say it.
so as not to scare this Miss Nana, and bring a good impression of the fifth uncle in her eyes.
Xie Wenjun looked at Xie Roujia and shook his head as he understood her intentions.
However, he didn't want to point out Xie Roujia's identity in front of people, and would rather she be treated as a mountain villager than be snooped on by all kinds of speculation.
Heard Xie Roujia say this. Miss Song really thinks that this is the mountain villagers, Yushan belongs to the Xie family, then these mountain people are also equivalent to the tenants of the Xie family, and they should be respectful to Xie Wuye.
"No, relying on Xie Wuye's face, it's enough for us to find a place to rest, and we don't have to take advantage of the children." She laughed, turning her head to look inside the car. "Isn't it? Cousin? β
Looking for a place to rest? Xie Wenjun's eyebrows and eyes were all smiling. But I was still a little embarrassed to think of my niece's presence, after all, it was really ...... to be seen by my juniors like this
"My ancestral home is not far away. Miss Song went to sit down and have a cup of hot tea. He said solemnly, "I just met your brother, and they have already passed first." β
Miss Song covered her mouth and smiled.
"Then the fifth master specially came to invite me?" She said.
Xie Wenjun's face turned red and he wanted to make a few jokes. But I felt that the three pairs of eyes next to me were staring at me firmly, and I couldn't say a word.
"Now that my cousin is gone. Let's go too, and let's go together when the time comes. The voice of the woman in the car said.
This sentence relieved Xie Wenjun, Xie Roujia could even see Xie Wenjun exhale, and she couldn't help laughing.
"Ladies, please." Xie Wenjun said. Then he turned his head to look at Xie Roujia, "Do you still have fish?" Take it and send it to the mansion under the mountain. β
"The fifth master is going to invite us to dinner." Miss Song said with a smile.
is also going to invite me to see the new aunt, and I can enter the Xie family's mansion with the identity of delivering fish. Xie Roujia's identity can't get in.
Xie Roujia pursed her lips and smiled, and responded loudly.
Miss Song's carriage went first. Xie Wenjun got on the horse and glared at Xie Roujia.
"Laugh at what laugh." He said, "Hurry up." β
Xie Roujia smiled and replied.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Standing outside the courtyard of the small kitchen of the Xie family's mansion, Xie Roujia looked around.
She's been here in her past and past lives, but now she still looks very unfamiliar.
"Miss Roujia, where do you have the snacks?" The two servants asked cautiously.
Old Mrs. Xie was not there, Fifth Master Xie actually put Miss Roujia in, and ordered to bring a lot of snacks for her to eat, this, is this okay?
"I'll just sit in this corridor." Xie Roujia said.
The servant woman didn't dare to say more, so she found a mat to spread out, put a plate of snacks over, and hurriedly withdrew.
Xie Roujia sat down and shook her legs and ate snacks slowly.
Then another servant woman came to him.
"These are some clothes that the fifth master ordered to be cleaned up." She said.
These should be the clothes worn by the people, whether it is the fabric or the style, it is suitable for the activity.
Xie Roujia looked down at the clothes she was wearing.
The family also sent clothes and fabrics, but those clothes were worn by Miss Xie Roujia, not Miss Roujia, who walked in the mountains, so Xie Roujia has been wearing the clothes she made at the beginning, and she also put them on her jacket in winter, and she has grown taller unconsciously for more than half a year, and her clothes are a little small, showing her wrists.
Thinking about the time when I squatted on the ground and ate snacks, I really looked like a beggar.
The fifth uncle really can't stand it.
Xie Roujia smiled and nodded.
"Okay." She said.
Speaking of this, there was the sound of footsteps on the side, accompanied by the voice of a woman.
"Nana, look, it's the little girl who sent the fish, oops, and gave snacks and clothes, Xie Wuye is very careful."
Ah, it's them.
Xie Roujia hurriedly stood up and looked over, and saw two young women turning out from the other side of the corridor, it was Miss Song and Miss Nana.
Their eyes fell on the snacks and clothes under the porch.
A kind-hearted man who takes care of the weak is always more favorable, and the smile on the faces of the two people is stronger.
"But this dress is terrible." Miss Song said, "It's not that the fifth master is out of money, so it's not better to give her some money." β
Miss Nana shook her head.
"No, it's best to give her what she needs." She said, "This kind of clothing is suitable for her, even if you give her some money, it may not be able to use her." β
Miss Song sighed.
"You know Fifth Master Xie so well." She giggled again, "Fifth Master Xie must be very happy to know." β
Miss Nana's face was slightly red, but she didn't squirm.
"Of course, it's nice to be understood." She said.
Miss Song chuckled and looked at Xie Roujia, who was staring at them here.
"Little girl, how old are you?" She asked.
"Thirteen." Xie Roujia replied.
"Then do you want to get out of the mountains? Come to me to do something? Miss Song smiled, "You can eat well and dress well." β
Xie Roujia smiled and shook her head.
"You're messing around again." Miss Nana smiled, "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own nest, if you eat well and dress well, it must be a good day?" β
Miss Song rolled her eyes.
"Cousin, I can't play with you anymore, I feel like a fool as soon as you open your mouth." She said.
Xie Roujia sneered.
"Look. The little girl laughed at me for being stupid. Miss Song shouted.
Miss Nana covered her mouth and smiled.
"She's not laughing at you for being stupid. She laughs because she likes you and thinks you're good. She said, looking at Xie Roujia, "Isn't it, little girl?" β
Xie Roujia nodded.
"Yes. Although the JianyΓ¬ mentioned by Miss is not necessarily a good life that I am suitable to live, Miss's heart wants me to live a good life and is good for me. She said, "Thank you, Miss." β
Miss Song laughed.
"This little girl's mouth is quite sweet." She said.
Miss Nana smiled too. With a bit of clarity.
"No wonder the other kids are giving you the snacks they bought for them." She said.
As they spoke, a little girl hurried in front of them.
"Miss. Miss Table. She shouted, "The young master said he was leaving." β
Miss Song responded and took Miss Nana's hand and walked over.
"But Xie Wuye is really good." She chuckled and whispered closer. "It's good for you, too."
Miss Nana glanced at her sideways and lowered her head as if to see the way.
"However, my surname is Du." She muttered.
As they spoke, they happened to walk past Xie Roujia. Xie Roujia looked at her puzzled when she heard it.
"What did you say, cousin?" Miss Song was talking to the little girl, but she didn't hear clearly, turned her head and asked again.
Miss Nana looked up and smiled.
"I said I'd go back quickly. My aunt should be in a hurry. She said.
They followed the girl away as they spoke, and Xie Roujia stood in place and watched their backs in a trance.
However, my surname is Du.
What's wrong with the last name Du?
Why does this sentence sound sad?
At this time, the Xie family's mansion in Pengshui City was full of idle atmosphere.
The daylight was warm, and the girls standing under the porch were laughing together, and the laughter of Mrs. Xie came from the inner room.
"The old lady is really happy this year." The little girls said.
As he was talking, two more old women walked in outside the courtyard gate, dressed better than the housekeepers and ladies, but they were not the family members of relatives and friends.
"Mother Luo, Mother Guo is here."
Several elderly servants hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to greet them, as they raised their voices.
The curtain rang, and the little girls ran out and opened the curtain, respectfully inviting the two women in.
"Old lady!"
The two women fell on their knees and bowed, their voices choked.
"For the New Year, what are you crying when you see me!" Old Madam Xie said angrily.
But the two women on the ground were not afraid, but raised their hands to wipe their tears.
"We're happy." "I thought the old lady had forgotten us," they said. β
Old Madam Xie snorted.
"I remember what you did." She said.
Everyone was not afraid of her words, and the girls next to them smiled and helped the two women up.
"This is the eldest lady." The two women saw Xie Rouhui standing beside Mrs. Xie again, and immediately said excitedly, kneeling down again to salute.
Xie Rouhui was busy with support.
"I can't do it." She said.
"Why can't you?" Old Madam Xie said.
Xie Rouhui's outstretched hand stopped, but the two women stood up and held her hand to resolve the embarrassment.
"The eldest lady is so old, she looks so good."
"It's a Dannu on March 3 this year, it's really fast, it's still like this when I think about it."
The two women gestured with their hands, the size of a newborn baby.
Xie Rouhui pursed her lips and smiled.
"Alright, Megumii, go back and rest." Mrs. Xie said, "You can't lose your homework now. β
Xie Rouhui responded and walked out amid the women's greetings.
The girls in the house re-served tea to everyone, and the two women began to talk, they had already learned the news in advance, and they also asked the old people who had come a few days ago, knowing that Mrs. Xie really only liked to listen to the past, so their words revolved around the past, talking and laughing very lively.
"Go and prepare the table, and leave them to eat." Mrs. Xie said happily to the girls, "You all go and arrange it, let them serve me." β
"How dare you." The big girls laughed.
The two women scrambled to their feet.
"Don't look down on us, eldest sister, although we are old, it is still foolproof to serve the old lady." They laughed.
The girls laughed and retreated to make arrangements.
"I haven't eaten with an old lady in many years." A woman wiped away her tears and said with joy.
Mrs. Xie plucked the tea bowl and hummed.
"Do you remember what you ate when you ate with me?" She asked.
"Yes." The woman smiled, with a little smugness, "Old lady, I will never forget what happened in my heart, the old lady often ate Yunying noodles with us at that time, and Yuan Xiu dishes ......"
"I still remember, let's eat pufferfish." The other woman said with a smile.
Old Madam Xie hummed and put down the tea bowl in her hand.
"Then, do you remember that in the delivery room, Ayuan asked Yuan's mother to hold the eldest lady, and she really didn't put it down?" She asked.
With a bang, the tea bowls in the hands of the two women fell to the ground, and the two people also jumped up like tea splashing, their expressions turned pale.
"Old lady, what are you talking about?" They said in a trembling voice, knelt down again, and bowed their heads, "Old lady, you can't think like this, you can't think of this!" (To be continued) R466
