Chapter 012: Heir
Mother Li sat on the small pestle in front of the kang, talking to Xie Shuning.
Xie Shuning only sat quietly on the kang and didn't pay much attention. However, she is young, and she has just shown a pampered and arrogant side in front of Li's mother, and Li's mother will think that she can't understand her words. But even if Xie Shuning really didn't understand, she had to keep saying what she had to say.
Children of this age love to learn from others.
One is that if you don't know what to say and what not to say, and the other is to make the elders pay attention to you, so it is easy to talk too much.
They don't have much to say about themselves, so they like to pick up what they have heard and repeat it. It is precisely because of this that Mother Li will take the trouble to talk to Xie Shuning.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and there was a rush and chaotic footsteps, and then the curtain was lifted, and Xie Yi rushed in with a "kick". He shouted, "Aman, you can be regarded as awake", while taking off his shoes and climbing onto the kang in two or two.
"Young Master, be careful with your step!" Rose shouted, and hurried in after her.
Mother Li was stunned at first, and then subconsciously glared at Rose.
The Xie family prides itself on being a family, not to mention the others, but the rules are very great. So when Mother Li saw Rose running in like this, she couldn't help but show a displeased look, and saw Rose's movements stagnate. Rose grew up in the Song family, the Song family treated people well, and Xie Shuning's uncle himself was a non-disciplined person, so Rose was used to it. Now that she was stared at by Li's mother, she was suddenly full of bad feelings.
She slowed down, approached slowly, bent down and put Xie Yi's casually lost little boots back into place, and then said softly: "Young master, you just came in from outside, your hands and feet are still cold, and you will be frozen again, Miss." After finishing speaking, he handed a blue puppet in his hand to Xie Shuning.
Xie Yi looked at the hand he was about to probe on Xie Shuning's face, pretended to be an adult and sighed, shook his head and said continuously, "That's it...... That's it......"
The appearance of being a stranger provoked Xie Shuning to smile while holding Mengmeng.
Her Zhen'er really looks like her brother.
Mother Li also stood up from the pestle and said with a smile: "The slave maid has seen the fifth young master, and the fifth young master is really born with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, which is very similar to the sixth master!" ”
Dragon's eyebrows?
Xie Shuning sneered secretly, and it was really a shame that Mother Li could say it. The descendants of the Xie family and their masters are all virtuous, and I can't wait for everyone to know that they are full of poems and books, and their exports are full of chapters. It's just that one or two are all half a bucket of water dangling, and they will use some incoherent words. Xie Yi is just a four-year-old child, where can he be worthy of the words dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes. What's more, at this time, anyone can use the word dragon and phoenix? With this sentence alone, it is possible to kill Li's mother.
However, these words, she can only bury them in her heart for the time being.
It was Xie Yi, who was obedient because of his young age, and only listened to half of it, and when he heard the words, he raised his voice: "I am naturally born like my father!" ”
At this moment, there was another sound of gentle, well-proportioned footsteps outside.
Everyone followed the sound to look, but saw that the curtain was lifted at some point, and there was a small figure standing at the door.
Mother Li was originally standing on the edge of the small pestle in front of the kang, and when she saw the person moving in a panic, the little pestle was taken down and made a muffled sound, she hurriedly saluted, and said, "Fourth young master, why are you here?" ”
"I heard that my younger siblings were coming after school, so I came to take a look." The curtain was lifted a little wider, and the figure that was not clear before gradually became clear, a boy with clear eyebrows, but he was about ten years old.
Xie Shuning leaned on the satin backrest on the kang head, and glanced at people lightly, her eyes were clear and quiet.
She knew who was coming.
After his father disappeared, Chen entered the door with the tablet, and waited for his father for another four years, but he still disappeared and had to be ruthless to believe that his father was really dead. But there is no male in the third room of the Xie family, and the word "no household" is so fierce, it must not be able to go on like this.
Sooner or later, a man will be needed to support the portal. So there is only one way left.
But because of Xie Yuanmao's matter, the third old lady had a stiff fight with the old lady in the long room, and this time it was impossible to have another child from the long house no matter what.
What's more, among the grandchildren, the men in the long house are not prosperous.
The second room was originally withered, but now there are finally more people, and of course they will never be willing to give it to the third room. Who called the third room like a curse, and the men died one after another. Whoever is left behind will not dare to continue to muddy the waters.
So two years ago, the Chen family could only inherit an orphan whose parents died from a side branch of the Xie family and named him Xie Chen.
This is the person who Mother Li has been chatting with her.
Her other elder brother, Fourth Young Master Xie Chen.
At this moment, Xie Chen, who is nine years old this year, is quietly lowering the curtain and looking at the two brothers and sisters.
"Fourth Young Master, you are here, do you know?" Mother Li didn't seem to be a stranger to Xie Chen, and when she saw him come in at this moment, she didn't stop him, but said with a slight expression.
"I'll take a look and go." Xie Chen avoided the important and shook his head.
Xie Yi climbed down from the hot kang, stepped on the ground, looked at Xie Chen and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”
Rose hurriedly leaned over and carried him back to the kang and sat down, putting on his shoes.
Xie Chen took a step back, "I'm your fourth brother. ”
The second and third rooms of the Xie family are not prosperous, so when discussing the order, everyone is ranked in the third room. Therefore, Xie Chen is four, and Xie Yi is five. Xie Shuning is already ranked eighth. In the Xie family's generation, there are not many men, but there are many girls.
Mother Li also followed closely and said, "Fifth Young Master, this is Fourth Young Master, your elder brother." ”
"My uncle said that I am the eldest son of our family, and I have no brother, only a younger sister!" Xie Yi stood in front of the kang with his hands behind his back, "How can you be my fourth brother?" ”
Without waiting for anyone to speak, he muttered again: "It's not right to say it's a cousin, I only have one cousin, but my uncle said that Shu Yan's cousin's eyes are blue......"
"Blue?" When Li's mother heard this, she blurted out in surprise, and after speaking, she felt that she shouldn't be like this, so she said goodbye.
Xie Shuning was also surprised.
Her aunt was a girl whom her uncle married outside the Guan, and she was born different from the Xiyue people, with hair like sunshine and gold, but eyes like blue lakes. But she's only heard about it. Her aunt and cousin, whom she had never seen until her death, had never seen her in her previous life.
The mother took them to Beijing to avoid their uncle. My uncle was a violent temper, and my mother said that if my uncle knew that my father had a Chen family in the Xie family, my uncle would definitely not let them go north. So she never disobeyed her uncle's mother, and for the first time she hid it.
This one, I'm afraid, is also wrong, and it can't be wrong.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Xie Chen say: "How can there be blue-eyed people in this world, don't talk nonsense." ”
