Spring is in full bloom, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the begonia courtyard is a peaceful atmosphere.

As soon as Xie Shuning brought Xie Shumin here, the atmosphere changed sharply, and Chen even jumped up from the rocking chair and hurriedly took two steps forward, but stopped when Xie Shumin was pushed forward by Xie Shuning. Looking at her biological daughter who she hadn't seen for many years, she seemed to be looking at a strange little monster, and hesitated to retreat.

Xie Shuning stood not far away and chuckled, "Auntie, what are you doing, don't you even recognize Minmin?" ”

Chen stiffened, wanting to laugh but couldn't.

Since the death of the third old lady earlier, she has no backer, and then she became angry with Xie Yuanmao, and after she was completely snubbed, she changed.

He has become less impatient than he used to be, and he is not as ambitious as he used to be.

She is already a concubine, and her mother's family doesn't know which group of Jiangyang thieves have slaughtered them all, what else can a woman with no help think about?

If you have nothing to do, you can lie on a rocking chair, blow the wind in the courtyard, listen to the cicadas, and have a few drinks, and your life will be complete? What's more, a family like the Xie family has no harsh concubines. The clothes of the four seasons are not bad on weekdays, and she is still not satisfied.

Having said that, of course, Chan was not satisfied.

After Song's mother and daughter left Beijing, Aunt Dong's cheap hooves started to think, and she naturally didn't sit still, watching the slut climb on her head.

But no matter how hard she tried to behave, Xie Yuanmao refused to eat this set again.

Since then, she's really started to get tired and put away all the fancy intestines.

"What are Miss Eight doing here with Miss Nine?" She gathered her thoughts, squeezed a smile out of her face, and asked.

Xie Shuning was surprised: "Auntie, are you not happy to see the ninth sister?" ”

Chen lowered his eyes, "The concubine is happy." ”

Really talk about it. She is just a concubine, so she has no qualifications to be happy or unhappy.

She is a noble concubine, but in the final analysis, she is still a concubine. A shameless concubine is not even as good as a faceless mother-in-law.

Chen also understood that if she wanted to show her face again in front of Xie Yuanmao, the person she really wanted to please was not Xie Yuanmao. Living in the inner house, she can only have a chance to climb up if she first pleases her mother.

But she is the same as the Song family. It has long been incompatible, how can you take this road?

For a while, Chen couldn't understand the real reason why Xie Shuning brought his stupid daughter to visit him.

She lifted her eyelids and glanced at Xie Shumin quietly, she was a child who had grown up, and her eyebrows were quite similar to her. Let people know at a glance that this is her child. But just think that this kid is a fool. It became a great shame.

Chen had vaguely heard rumors among the servants. It's not stupid to say that Miss Nine is no longer stupid.

She didn't quite believe it.

"What are you guys doing in a daze, why don't you go serve tea quickly." Chen secretly took a breath, turned around and ordered, and asked Sister Xie Shuning to take a seat.

Xie Shuning thanked him and sat down generously.

The young Xie Shumin looked forward and backward, and seemed to have something unspeakable. A look of discomfort.

Immediately, the maids brought tea and water.

Xie Shumin took it, and only lowered his head and drank it in a small sip with the teacup, without speaking or looking at people.

She seemed desperate to keep her composure. But her slightly trembling little hands were not well hidden.

The color of panic has gradually seeped out.

Like Chen, she couldn't understand why Xie Shuning suddenly brought her to see Chen.

Through her fingers, she looked with difficulty at the girl on the other side dressed in green weaving makeup, and her eyes uncontrollably revealed a little viciousness.

She had heard from Xie Yuanmao that Xie Shuning was injured when she was in Mobei. She was thinking at the time that if she died in Mobei, it would be a good thing. In this way, with the Song family's love for their daughter, they must be unable to return to Kyoto, and it is not impossible to die of old age. If Song died depressed, she would really hide under the covers and laugh all night.

But before she could look forward to it for long, Song's mother and daughter came back leisurely with someone.

As soon as he returned, the situation changed immediately.

"Although the ninth sister is young, I heard that she is very affectionate, and at a young age, she often goes to the long house to visit several cousins of the Chen family. It seems that my aunt gave birth to a good daughter. ”

Just thinking about it, she suddenly heard Xie Shuning say this, her throat choked, and she immediately coughed heavily.

The teacup in her hand also swayed, and the remaining half of the tea mixed with the slightly curled tea leaves poured onto her.

The spring shirt was soaking wet and a mess.

Chen hurriedly asked someone to get a clean handkerchief to wipe for her.

Xie Shuning ordered to go down and let people go to Ruixiang Courtyard to get clean clothes to change.

Chen glanced at her, the corners of his mouth twitched as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't make a sound.

After a while, the Chen family finally said: "The Chen family has declined. It's also hard to think that Miss Eight still remembers a few cousins and cousins, and often goes to see them. ”

When she said this, she had been thinking about the words for a long time, and the deliberateness of them was simply obvious to people at first hearing.

Xie Shuning, of course, will not be an exception.

But after hearing this, she was stunned.

She thought that this matter had nothing to do with the Chen family, after all, Xie Shumin was still young, and she was afraid that she couldn't even figure out what the relationship between the Xie family and the Chen family was, so how could she go to see them often. After hearing that, her first reaction was that Chen secretly taught Xie Shumin.

As a result, it was not.

Recalling that when they just stepped into the Begonia Courtyard, Chen's surprise didn't seem to be pretended, and Xie Shuning didn't feel secretly strange.

Except for the Chen family, who else would want Xie Shumin to be friendly with several orphans of the Chen family?

What is going on in the Chen family, no one can say. The Xie family took over these children, and they didn't all get good names.

Of course, they all know that the third old lady and the Chen family's maiden family are real gold and jade, and they are empty inside, and they are so poor that they can't open the pot. But the people outside didn't know, they only thought that the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the Xie family adopted the children of the Chen family, and they must have taken away all the property of the Chen family.

The rumors in the market spread ten, ten and hundred, and soon it became that the Xie family was greedy for money, so they killed the Chen family, and then deliberately took in the three children. There is a good reason to make money.

As the saying goes, three people become tigers, and when this word spreads later, it almost becomes true.

The Xie family didn't even have a chance to argue, so they were put on their heads.

In public opinion, they have completely forgotten the Xie family's family background, and they are much better than the Chen family.

In this way, the Xie family is more subtle in how to settle the three Chen family children.

Raise them, but can't be too close.

A few people in the long room definitely don't like Xie Shumin to see them from time to time.

But it also happened to be because of her identity as a concubine. In the eyes of several elders, it is not so important, and there are not too many scruples.

Xie Shuning lost interest in continuing to talk to Chen, and when Xie Shumin was ready, he wanted to take her back. Before leaving. Xie Shuning said deliberately: "Does Min Min want to live with her aunt?" ”

"I don't want to!"

As if frightened, Xie Shumin, who had begun to become lively and intelligent in the eyes of everyone, became stunned again. The words blurted out really embarrassed Chen. Suddenly, his face turned pale.

Everyone knows that Xie Shumin would move out of Haitang Courtyard because of Xie Shuning's words.

Now, if she wants to send Xie Shumin back again, it will be a matter of a few words.

Xie Shumin didn't dare to take risks.

Because of this, she didn't dare to say a word to Chen.

She was afraid that as long as she showed a little bit of closeness to the Chen family, she would be sent back to the Begonia Courtyard and raised by the Chen family.

Chen has long been a useless outcast. Being with the Chen family will only make her already difficult steps become more and more slow.

Fortunately, the word "don't want to" seems to have finally won Xie Shuning's heart. She then took Xie Shumin back to Ruixiang Courtyard.

Under the light of day, Xie Shumin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Shuning asked her: "I heard that it was because of Zhu's mother." Are you sad? ”

Xie Shumin nodded hesitantly.

"Mother Zhu did something wrong, so she should naturally be punished." Xie Shuning laughed, "You don't have to be sad, I will ask my mother to assign you a housekeeper mother who is a hundred times better than Mother Zhu." ”

Her voice was gentle, like a well-behaved eldest sister who was all too common.

But Xie Shumin was under the sun, and the spirit of the spirit shivered.

When she arrived at Ruixiang Courtyard, Xie Shuning didn't leave, saying that she wanted to stay and eat with her, but Xie Shumin had no appetite when she arrived. The hand hanging at his side clenched into a fist, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.

She suddenly realized that the person in front of her was much more difficult than the Song family.

Obviously, Xiaoxiang Pavilion is next door, but Xie Shuning doesn't say leave, so no one dares to drive her away.

After lunch, Xie Shuning still didn't move, lazily nesting on the couch, looking at the furnishings in Ruixiang Courtyard with a smile.

Looking at it, a sense of indescribable familiarity gradually surged in her heart.

His gaze wandered to the stove resting on the spring bench by the wall.

A small one, but very delicate, is a golden duck incense burner.

She remembered that there were all kinds of incense burners in the storehouse of the three old ladies, large and small, and there were more than 100 of them of various shapes. But her favorite is this duck-shaped incense burner. The aroma wafted out from the flat duck's mouth, and it was such a sight that the three old ladies could stare at it for a long time.

The vague smile on the corner of Xie Shuning's mouth suddenly became cold.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at the kang not far away.

Xie Shumin was wearing a white gauze shirt, lying there with her eyes closed and taking a nap, and the maid was fanning on the side.

There was silence in the room.

Xie Shuning opened her eyes and had no intention of leaving.

She's waiting for the green.

Since she entered Ruixiang Courtyard, she has not seen Lunong.

This doesn't happen very often.

She stretched and looked out the window.

No one in the Ruixiang Courtyard expected her to come, and they all gathered together in twos and threes, talking about this.

At that moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside.

"Midori!"

The footsteps were getting closer, and Xie Shuning heard someone outside suppressing the sound as if he wanted to stop Lu Nong's footsteps.

But Midori didn't pay attention to them, and she hurriedly pushed open the door and entered. (To be continued......)

PS: There will be a change later, you can come and see it tomorrow~~ In addition, I believe that the pros who saw this have basically guessed what Xie Jiu is all about. Someone asked how many rebirths there were, and the clear answer was that there were only two heroines~ Xie Jiu, which was set up at the beginning of writing the character. Of course, I didn't think it through, and I didn't expect so many people to be disgusted with multiple lives, but because the thread was laid down early in the morning, it was not easy to change, so I vomited blood and knelt down to beg not to abandon it...... And do you really feel abused? Where do you feel abused? Please tell the poor author kun ==
