Chapter 224: The Yan Family

However, even if she was uneasy, the carriage still carried her to the door of the Yan family.

I thought it was a scene like a city, but who knew that when I arrived at the gate of the Chengguo Mansion, everyone found that it was very deserted. Wu Niang, who was riding in the same carriage with Xie Shuning, quietly lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out a few times. After a while, she retracted her gaze and said strangely, "Why is it only our family?" ”

Xie Shuning lifted her eyelids, but didn't answer.

How long has the former Chengguo Gong Yanjing gone?

Everyone in the Yan family was in the filial piety period at this time, and they should not even be able to hold this so-called plum banquet. Filial piety is added, how can you enjoy yourself wantonly? Therefore, this time Xiao Wan's so-called plum banquet is nominally the meaning of several nieces of the Wan family, and she, who is an aunt, just borrowed a place.

At the banquet, it is also a question whether Xiao Wanshi will come forward.

Moreover, there are few people today, which was expected by Xie Shuning. Even if it is just borrowing the Yan family's place, this matter is still not done well, and if outsiders want to put their beaks, there are always endless words, so there are very few people who can be invited.

The Xie family arrived early, and whether there was anyone else coming later, let's talk about it for the time being, but this will, I'm afraid it will be empty, and there will be no guests.

Wu Niang saw that she was silent, so she accepted her thoughts and continued to speak, until she was about to get off the carriage, she whispered, "I heard that today's plum banquet also has the meaning of celebrating the princess, why don't you see a ......figure at all."

Xie Shuning heard it behind her and shook her head slightly.

In the end, it is a cardamom girl raised in the boudoir, and she can't be carefully taught by her fourth aunt Rong on weekdays. I don't even know whether the rumors are true or false.

Yan Jing just went, how could the Yan family celebrate for Yan Huai's attack.

Even if he doesn't want to be a filial son, he has to be careful of drowning people with saliva outside.

"Meet Grandma Xie."

Xie Shuning followed behind Wu Niang. Before they could get out of the carriage, they heard a calm woman's voice outside.

Xie Zhiruo, the sixth lady in the carriage in front, also followed, got off the bus station and went to the side of the young grandmother.

Wu Niang got out of the car almost at the same time as her, and Xie Shuning was a step late.

The woman, who had just heard the sound, smiled and greeted them again, with a light smile on her face, but there was a hint of earnestness in her voice. Xie Shuning followed the prestige. I saw a tall, thin woman with a long face standing straight, about thirty years old. The hair was tightly combed, meticulous, and his eyes were like the black hair, with a kind of stern solemnity. She wore a tan armor. Inside is a dark blue middle coat. The clothes are a little old-fashioned, but they make her younger.

Not an easy person to deal with.

Xie Shuning only glanced at it, and then made a decision in his heart.

Just as they were thinking about it, the young grandmother was ready to lead them inside.

The woman who had come to greet them led the way, whispering to the young grandmother.

Xie Shuning realized that she was the henchman mother in front of Xiao Wan's, Guan's.

She had never seen her mother, and she was the same in this life and in her previous life. It's just a mother-in-law. She shouldn't know what the Tao is. But it is such a low-status mother, Xie Shuning has heard it more than once in her previous life.

Mother Guan is very valued by Xiao Wan's family. It can be called the housekeeper of the Yan family.

However, Guan's mother is not Xiao Wan's daughter-in-law, nor is she one of Xiao Wan's wedding maids. If Xie Shuning hadn't known in advance, she would never have thought that Mother Guan was actually Dawan's dowry maid.

Judging from the incompatible situation between Xiao Wan's family and Yan Huai's water and fire, Xiao Wan's family must have changed the manpower in the Yan family's house early on, and he will never be stupid and continue to use the people used by the deceased eldest sister.

But the mother is one of the exceptions.

She is in charge of all the trivial matters in the Yan family's house, up to the direct order of Xiao Wan's family, and down to the soap horn used in the pulp washing room in the house, all need to go through her hands.

Such a person was sent out by the Xiao Wan clan and personally welcomed them into the house.

What a big face......

Xie Shuning looked at the gradually dense grass and trees beside the road, and her heart was slightly cold.

Mother Guan was famous in Kyoto in her previous life, and even those merchants in Dongcheng had heard about her.

In the past, Yan Lin strangled Xiao Wan with his own hands, and survived by Yan Huai's side. But like a deliberate mockery, such a desolate and dead Xiao Wan still wants to be buried in a grand manner. And on the day of her funeral, Guan's mother crashed into her head and died in front of Xiao Wan's coffin.

His heart is loyal and speechless.

However, it didn't take long for strange rumors to come out of nowhere.

said yes, when the loyal Guan mother gritted her teeth and bumped into it that day, she shouted loudly, "It's all the old lady's fault!" It's the old lady's fault! ”

No one knows whether she said such things because her master died, she couldn't accept it for a while, she lost her heart, or because of other reasons.

No one knows what the mother is talking about in this unverified rumor.

The old lady of the Yan family, long before the Da Wan family married into the door, was gone.

Therefore, if you care about your mother, it is unlikely that she is referring to the old lady of the Yan family.

Everyone thought about it, and it seemed that it could only be an old lady of the Wan family.

But no one dared to verify it......

However, the old lady of the Wan family, since that day, has been sick when she hears about it...... After that, I struggled to hold on, and in the end I didn't survive for a few years, and then I went.

In her previous life, Xie Shuning listened to it as a book, but now the protagonist in the story is dangling in front of her eyes. Now that she thinks about it, she can't help but feel that there are many doubts in it.

Guan Ma is a member of the Da Wan family, why can she stay under the Xiao Wan family for more than ten years, and among the servants, she has always been in power. No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense. Unless, Mother Guan has done something big that can show her heart, such as to Da Wan's ...... Or, Xiao Wan's heart is very wide and he has a long-term vision, and it is really difficult to give up his mother's talent, so he left her to continue to use it.

But that's not the most suspicious thing in it.

It's really treacherous. It should be the specious last words.

"It's all the old lady's fault." ”

If this is not a rumor, but true, then worry about Mom. Why do you say such things?

She is a servant, and it is a great disapproval for her to say such things! Who gave her guts?

However, people are dying and their words are good, coupled with the lack of groundlessness, there must be some unknown shadows hidden here.

Xie Shuning sniffed the fragrance of plum blossoms gradually spreading in the air, and the cold was mixed with sweet fragrance, which was intoxicating. She frowned slightly. Thinking about taking care of his mother's affairs, he couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and followed the crowd to the flower hall. Still tranceless.

Until someone raised his voice and said, "I don't know which one is the eighth sister of the Xie family?" ”

Several members of the Xie family didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as they arrived at the place, and they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The young grandmother woke up quickly and looked at the unfamiliar faces in front of her. I heard Guan's mother introduce that she was a few young ladies from the Wanjia family. smiled and gently pushed Xie Shuning, pushed her forward, and said, "Eighth sister, doesn't you know Miss Wan?" ”

Xie Shuning's footsteps were sluggish, and a trace of innocence flashed in her eyes.

The sister-in-law in the lobby, Zhu Shi, is a confused person, not even one-tenth of her mother-in-law, the eldest wife, this will have the presence of Guan mother, Guan mother will naturally introduce them in turn with several young ladies from the Wan family, why should she push people out of the way like this. She's good. Just get started.

What's more, I don't know what the people of Wanjia are thinking at the moment.

Xie Shuning had never met several young ladies from the Wan family, let alone figured out their temperaments. I was going to wait and see quietly, but I was pushed by the young grandmother like this, and I became the target of everyone, standing there and letting others look at it, I couldn't avoid it.

In front of them, they are all brushing or standing or sitting, full of a group of girls.

The one standing at the front with the green on his head is the one who has just come out to find her.

Xie Shuning looked over coldly and saw that she was wearing the fashionable clothes of an unmarried woman in Kyoto, but she was wearing a pair of riding boots made of Hu under her feet, which was not common.

She immediately understood that the person in front of her was Wan Jidao's eldest daughter, Wan Susu.

Wan Susu should be a good man this year, and he is famous for his love of riding and archery, which is comparable to that of his son.

Thinking about it, she put away the cold glint in her eyes, replaced it with soft spring water, and shook her head with a smile: "I don't know." ”

When the words fell, Wan Susu suddenly stepped forward, stood in front of her, and said, "It doesn't matter if Eighth Sister Xie doesn't know me, I know you!" ”

What's going on?

Xie Shuning took a small step back.

Wan Susu looked at her condescendingly: "You are my future second cousin-in-law, of course I know you......"

Is the appearance of Wan Susu a new trick of Xiao Wan's?

Xie Shuning's eyelids jumped, and she looked at Wan Susu with a straight face, but she was speechless, so she took a step back, lowered her head, and pretended to be shy: "Sister Wanjia is so bad!" ”

“……”

The people present had more or less heard about Xie Shuning, knew that she and Princess Hui were handkerchiefs, and they had been good since childhood, and they knew that she had gone to Mobei with her mother, and they had seen a lot of things, so they thought that she should be a very powerful character, but who knew that it was this picture that was about to bite the handkerchief and tear up, and they were all stunned at the moment.

In the middle of the sound, Mother Guan started a round on the side: "Everything in the pavilion has been prepared, and you ladies can go to enjoy the plum blossoms at any time." ”

The group then turned their heads in twos and threes, and each prepared to go to the pavilion.

There is hot tea, fruit spots, braziers, all available, just go over.

Several members of the Xie family are also going to the garden together.

Entering the pavilion, Wan Susu suddenly beckoned her and asked her to sit with her.

Xie Shuning was very uncomfortable with her enthusiastic appearance, and always felt that there was an indescribable weirdness here. At this moment, she suddenly realized that this time, Wen Xueluo was also invited......

Xu was aware of her gaze that she had forgotten to look away for a while, and Wen Xueluo, who was whispering to the girl next to her, suddenly raised her head and looked at her. (To be continued......)
