Chapter 164: Tricks
She rarely said the word "grandmother", Xie Yuanmao heard it at first glance, and couldn't help but immediately dissipate his anger, and wondered: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"What the daughter just said, which word does the father not understand?" Xie Shuning pretended to be very annoyed, stomped his feet, and went to the chair to sit down after leaving only such a sentence.
Since she returned to Beijing, she has spoken and acted much gently, and Xie Yuanmao thought that his relationship with his eldest daughter had melted like ice in spring, and even if he couldn't go back to the way he was, he could ease it up. In the long run, Xing may also make his relationship with the Song family better.
However, he looked at Xie Shuning, but he could only see an angry face that he didn't want to see.
He coughed twice, turned his back, reached for the small bag that had been thrown on his painting, and placed it on the mahogany bookcase beside him.
Xie Shuning said behind him: "Why doesn't Father untie it and take a look, look at what kind of treasures are in it, your beloved little daughter treats these as her heart." ”
When he speaks, he is extremely mean.
Xie Yuanmao was a little displeased, glaring at her sideways, but he didn't say anything serious.
He knew that although Xie Shuning was not very old, when facing him, his temperament was also indifferent, but he had always been a polite and sensible child, and he had never rushed in in in such a hurry and threw his face and lost his temper. Abnormality is a demon, although he doesn't know why the eldest daughter is so annoyed, but he also understands that it has nothing to do with the things in this baggage.
What's more, Xie Shuning mentioned the deceased three old ladies and mentioned incense making.
On the night of the water walk, the smoke and fire were burning, and the fragrance was overflowing.
Even though the houses were burned to ruins, the strong aroma lingered over them for days before being washed away by the rain that followed.
Thinking so. The long-lost aroma seems to linger on the tip of the nose again.
He hadn't forgotten why the third old lady ended up like that.
"This thing was brought from Minmin?" He frowned, leaned over and began to untie the knots on his head.
A few steps behind him, Xie Shuning pressed her back against the carved back of the chair, and her embroidered shoes hung down, only the tips of her toes could touch the ground slightly. She raised her feet and landed on the ground, lightly touched the ground in place, and said crisply: "My mother doesn't know about this yet, so my father has an idea." ”
Ask while knowing the answer. She was too lazy to be perfunctory.
After walking around the Ruixiang Courtyard, she found the golden duck incense burner in the inner room, and caught the current seizure of this pile of incense products, and the doubts in her heart have gradually accumulated into a familiar figure.
In this house, there has always been only one third old lady who likes to serve the incense burner.
The past life and the present life add up to two lifetimes. She was sure that the people in this house loved the people who made their own incense. Except for the three old ladies. There was no one else.
But the third old lady is dead!
Along with Shouantang, it was burned down by fire.
The order of the old lady of the long house was personally given, and the people in the whole house witnessed the scene of the fire.
There's no way she's still alive.
However, Xie Shumin, who was only six years old, asked the maid next to him to get a bunch of incense.
Xie Shuning didn't dare to think about it, but she had to think about it.
After the death of the third old lady. Xie Shumin was once negligent under Chen's negligence, and fell ill with a high fever and almost died.
After that, she seemed a little more stupid.
But then it inexplicably began to get better. is getting smarter and smarter, and now she can almost replace her in her father's heart.
She never thought it would be anything connected.
Until today, when I saw these incense, the sealed memories came out in an instant.
"Where did she get all this incense?" Xie Yuanmao had already opened the baggage, saw the broken incense inside, pondered for a long time, and asked.
Xie Shuning sat upright, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask my father, where did Min Min get the money." ”
She and her mother have been away from home for a year and a half, and almost all the personnel in the house have been messed up by her father, not to mention Xie Shumin's Ruixiangyuan.
A single Zhu Pozi is not easy to dismiss. Mrs. Zhu was kicked out of Ruixiangyuan and sent to the pulp washing room because she framed her for breaking the bird's wings and "provoked" the relationship between their sisters. As soon as people fall off the horse, those servant women who followed Zhu Pozi earlier will not have good fruits to eat.
As a result, as soon as the Song family rectified, many loopholes were rectified.
Mrs. Zhu has only been in the past six months, and she doesn't know how much money she has collected.
The biggest purchase of oil and water was directly replaced by Mrs. Zhu's brother and daughter-in-law to take care of things.
Coming and going, this group of people was right under Xie Yuanmao's nose, like ants moving many things to his house.
Song was annoyed and slapped Zhu Pozi's board, and now he is still lying on the bed board and can't get up.
And the culprit of all this is, of course, Xie Yuanmao, the sixth master of the third room.
Xie Yuanmao knew that he was at a loss, and when he heard her say this, he immediately recalled. Because the house was deserted, and the second daughter was well-behaved and sweet-mouthed, he took out a lot of money to please her. A necklace made of pink beads and a bracelet made of red gold...... Before I knew it, I gave away a lot of them.
His palms were sweaty, he grimaced, and said, "It must have been instigated by Mrs. Zhu by her side earlier!" ”
The corners of Xie Shuning's mouth twitched slightly, "So, how does my father plan to deal with this matter?" ”
Xie Yuanmao turned around, looked at her, and said without thinking: "If you lose these things, just teach her a few words." ”
"That's all?" Xie Shuning had expected that he was unclear, and he was not disappointed when he heard this.
Xie Yuanmao sighed: "She is still a child after all, and she will be sensible if she teaches more." ”
Seeing these incense, although he was angry, he was also confused, and he couldn't figure out why Xie Shumin liked to play with these. But when I think about it, it's like the eldest son doesn't like to read, and who can figure out the reason for what he likes and what he doesn't like.
"Father didn't forget about my grandmother." Xie Shuning looked directly at him and said in a low voice.
Xie Yuanmao was stunned.
Xie Shuning said expressionlessly: "Grandmother accidentally knocked over the incense burner and ignited the bed curtain because she liked to play with incense, which caused a big disaster. Grandmother is still like this, the ninth sister is young, if she also plays with incense, she will watch it inch by inch, and it will be difficult to make people feel at ease, right? ”
"Yes, that's worrying." Xie Yuanmao was stunned. Immediately echoed.
Fang was surprised, he almost thought that Xie Shuning knew about the ugly things that the third old lady had done at the beginning.
Fortunately, it's not.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ah Man's words are too reasonable, and he can't ask Min Min to play with incense in the future." ”
Xie Shuning struck while the iron was hot and said: "My mother is busy with family affairs and has no time to take care of Minmin, if my father is relieved, will Ah Man take care of her?" ”
Xie Yuanmao naturally agreed in a hurry, praising her for being a good child.
The sisterhood is deep, and he listens happily. But he completely forgot that it was not a child born to a mother, and no matter how close he was, where could he go.
He sent Xie Shuning out, and then turned around and went to paint his own painting again.
Xie Shuning's face was slightly gloomy, and she was helpless. It's bitter again.
If it is really as she thinks, this matter is bound to take advantage of Xie Shumin's immature age. and seized her life.
But if you want to count on your father. I'm afraid it's better to forget it.
Mother, if you can worry a little less, you should have a little less.
As for her, this period coincided with nothing. Most of the gold brought back by Mobei was deposited in the bank, and she quietly opened a vault in the mansion and hid it underground and stored part of it. Scar and his party have also set off on the road with her reply letter to her mother. Left Kyoto.
She also wrote a letter to be sent to Pingjiao, informing Mr. Yun Zhan of his return to Beijing and that he would visit Xiaozhu at a later date.
So right now, she has to clean up the Ruixiang Courtyard first!
Early the next morning. She discussed with the Song family and assigned Mother Zhuo beside her to temporarily go to Ruixiang Courtyard to take the place of Mrs. Zhu and take care of Xie Shumin.
She is so generous, although the Song family is puzzled, but she is also worried about the lack of a housekeeper in Ruixiang Courtyard, and at this moment, with the help of Xie Shuning, she immediately agreed with a smile.
The seventh wife, Zhang, came to visit the door, and when she knew about it, she turned around and publicized that the eighth girl of the Xie family was generous and sensible, and she was a rare good child.
As a result, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
These words fell into the ears of the third lady Jiang Shi, and she was not happy.
Mrs. Seven has never praised Xie Zhiruo, this one only went to the third room, and she praised Song's sick daughter everywhere, which really made her unhappy.
She was silent in the house, and when she went outside, she pretended to mention Xie Shuning from time to time, saying that her body was weak and distressing.
The implication is that if such a girl marries in the future, let alone give birth to a son, I am afraid that she will become a widower in the near future.
After saying it several times, Jiang Shi felt a little more relieved.
Who knew that it didn't take long for Mrs. Seventh to hear about this again, and she was still looking forward to Xie Shuning being able to marry into the Yan family smoothly in the future and be a daughter-in-law to her cousin.
She went back to the house and pretended to accidentally reveal it to the Song family.
The Song family was angry, but he was never good at talking about people behind his back, so he simply avoided the Jiang family from then on, and only said hello coldly when they met, so he didn't speak.
The fourth wife of the second room, the Rong family, gradually became friendly with the Jiang family, the eldest wife Wang family was still neutral, and the second lady Liang family widowed and ignored the worldly world among these concubines.
For a time, it was divided into two factions.
Song was angry for a few days, and quietly went to see Xie Shuning, and saw that although her daughter looked thin, she was in good spirits, so she was relieved.
As everyone knows, Xie Shuning was busy cleaning up Ruixiang Courtyard, and even his face looked much better.
As soon as Zhuo's mother arrived at Xie Shumin's side, she vigorously changed all the maids and daughters in Ruixiang Courtyard, and Lu Nong became the number one to be targeted, and even if she raised her voice a little when she spoke, she would be punished.
Everyone shrank their heads and behaved.
Xie Shumin was grounded, and Xie Shuning went to see her in person.
The little girl was detained to read the "Female Ring", and after reading it, she had to copy it, copy it and memorize it.
It is said to be a good name, cultivated since childhood.
Xie Shuning sat next to her with a notebook, reading the book, and occasionally staring at her, which made Xie Shumin's heart furious.
After a few days like this, Xie Shumin's unopened eyebrows and eyes gradually became irritable.
The weather is getting hotter, but Xie Shuning is pulling the banner of "plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold", and no one is allowed to fan her.
The boredom on Xie Shumin's face seemed to be gradually unbearable.
Xie Shuning deliberately threw away the book, shook the fan painted with purple gentian flowers and approached, and said, "Minmin's posture of holding the pen reminds me of my grandmother." ”
"Bang-"
The book on the table was swept to the ground by Xie Shumin's wrong hand. (To be continued......)
