Chapter 9 The Long Talk of Ancestors and Grandchildren
"It turned out to be Miss Xie Er, I advise you to be less nosy, so as not to spread any ruthless girlfriend names, and embarrass the prince and queen mother when the time comes." Meng Yuan quickly found the point to attack Xie Ying, and his face was proud.
Even if he can't pocket these two women today, it's good to humiliate Xie Ying.
"When have I ever done something ruthless, and I asked Second Prince Meng to make it clear."
Xie Ying knew that he was talking about the last time she shot a snake in Zuo Xiangfu, but she would never admit that it was ruthless.
"You shot the snake with a knife in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and calmly, isn't it because of your experience?"
Meng Yuan clasped his hands on his chest, his face was arrogant, and the more he spoke, the more unpleasant his words became.
"The girl in the boudoir learns to be solemn and quiet, and her demeanor is generous, and you Xie Ying carries a knife with you and shoots a snake with one move, what is the difference between you and the reckless man in the mountains?"
"Meng Yuan, because you are still the son of a family, you would say such vicious words to humiliate others!"
The anger in Zhang Xuan's heart was rising, Xie Ying's actions that day were also to save herself, she had always been grateful, and she must not let people slander Xie Ying because of this.
"That's right, because I'm telling the truth." Meng Yuan looked at the furious Zhang Xuan disapprovingly, and then opened his mouth and continued:
"Now no one in the entire capital knows that Miss Xie Er is a femme fatale, a beauty who can shoot snakes and kill scorpions."
"You..." Zhang Xuan was about to scold back, but was stopped by Xie Ying.
"I didn't know that I had such praise now, thank you for telling the second son of Meng."
Xie Ying's expression was calm, when she met a scoundrel, the more angry you are, the happier he is, and she won't let him succeed.
"Sister Sakura..."Zhang Xuan was confused by Xie Ying's words, and turned her head to look at her in confusion, shouldn't she scold back at this time?
Meng Yuan looked at Xie Ying with some surprise, if these words were ordinary women, they would have been embarrassed and indignant, but Xie Ying's face still did not change.
Hum! Sure enough, it was a nest with the prince, and Guan Hui pretended!
"Miss Xie Er knows it in her heart, so why don't you need to say anything."
"Meng Ergongzi is right, I know my skills very well, but I'm afraid you don't know that shooting snakes and killing scorpions is a piece of cake for me, I am best at killing."
Xie Ying took the last step forward, approached Meng Yuan, and said the last sentence in a voice that the two of them heard, "If I have the opportunity, I can show you in person, it's interesting." ”
Meng Yuan's face changed greatly after hearing this, and he looked at Xie Ying with a smile on his face and said murderous words, he was frightened in his heart, and subconsciously retreated.
Although he bullies men and women on weekdays, he knows it in his heart, and he doesn't dare to really mess around, and he has never done such a thing as killing.
"The sun is too big, and Second Prince Meng has to take care of his body more."
Xie Ying retreated, gave Zhang Xuan and the four beside her a look, and took the lead in striding away.
"Second Young Master, are you okay?" The little guy beside him spoke.
"Yes, very!"
Meng Yuan pushed him away, looked at Xie Ying's distant figure and clenched his fists, this woman is beautiful and spicy enough, isn't it the type that the eldest brother likes?
The eldest brother is much more courageous than him, even the arrogant third princess dares to be frivolous, and he is afraid that she will be a princess who has not yet entered the East Palace?
Xie Ying led the four people behind him to a cool place and stopped.
Seeing her looking at her, Su Yu stepped forward and grabbed Xie Ying's hand and said, "It turned out that it was Cousin Xie who helped, but our two sisters were a little ashamed. ”
"Cousin is polite, it's a gesture, not to mention that the people in Beijing are just watching the dishes." Xie Ying smiled lightly, unimpressed.
"It turns out that you are the daughter of the little aunt, in the past, my grandmother always said how the little aunt is beautiful, I always don't believe it, I see my cousin today and I can see that my grandmother is telling the truth." Xia Qing stepped forward with a smile on his face and grabbed Xie Ying.
Two cousins, Su Yuyi sent out the posture of a water hibiscus, dignified and polite; Xia Qing is delicate and beautiful, and her temperament is more cheerful.
Xie Ying called Zhang Xuan and Song Xin over again, and everyone knew each other, and they talked and laughed for a while.
"Next time, I must call the two cousins to my house, especially Cousin Su, I like the cherry blossom jade pendant that your uncle gave me last time!"
Xie Ying said as she took down the mutton fat jade cherry blossom jade pendant hanging from her waist.
This jade pendant was given to Su Lang by Su Lang's father, Su Wang, in order to thank him for saving Su Lang, and then on the night of Qixi five years ago.
She likes cherry blossoms so much that she has been wearing them for five years.
Su Yu took the cherry blossom jade pendant from Xie Ying's hand, and suddenly there was a thunderbolt on the sunny day, and he was stunned on the spot.
This jade pendant turned out to be exactly the same as the jade pendant that Su Lang was holding in his hand that night!
So, her fifth brother Su Lang's sweetheart is Xie Ying?
Su Yu suddenly figured out a lot of things at this moment.
For example, after becoming the head of the family, Su Lang also brought their two-room family to the capital.
According to the rules of the Su family, after the emergence of a new generation of leaders, the Su family will be separated.
Her father is the younger brother of Su Lang's father, and the Su family's family business is only managed and is not qualified to possess it.
At first, she thought that Su Lang had taken a fancy to their second room and treated him well since he was a child, and he was good friends with her brother Su Ming, so she chose not to separate the family and took extra care of them.
I didn't expect it to be stained with the light of her cousin, who had never met!
Su Lang Bacheng wanted to narrow the distance between the two of them through the fact that his mother and Xie Ying's mother were sisters.
But whether her fifth brother Su Lang knew that Xie Ying was a quasi-princess, it was impossible for them to be between them.
After thinking about it, she felt that Su Lang must know, not to mention that as the head of the Su family, she must understand all the forces in Beijing.
Just today, after Su Lang knew that the prince personally awarded the color head, he who had never liked to show his head actually appeared on the stage in person, and he just pressed the prince with his appearance......
Where is Su Lang to show respect for the royal family, he is simply a teenager at heart, and he wants to prove that he is better than the crown prince in front of Xie Ying, that is, the beloved woman......
There is also an uncle, it is impossible for him not to know that Su Lang has a jade pendant in his hand that is exactly the same as Xie Ying, but the uncle actually connived at Su Lang to continue to like Xie Ying, did the father and son want to make the Su family suffer a catastrophe?
At this moment, Su Yu hoped that she was not so smart and couldn't understand the twists and turns, did her fifth brother still want to compete with the prince for women?
Sure enough, it is not unreasonable for people to say that there are many disasters and waters!
After being shocked, she quickly adjusted her mood: "It's really good-looking, next time I go to your house to pick something, I will definitely pick a good one." ”
"And me, and I want it too." Xia Qing immediately echoed, "I still have to take Cousin Sakura to see my eldest brother, and then write to tell my grandmother, saying that you are all right." ”
"How is my grandmother?"
Xie Ying felt a little ashamed in her heart, she had never visited her mother's mother's family, but her grandmother sent her gifts in the name of the Su family every New Year's Day.
"Grandmother is fine, but from time to time I mention the early death of my little aunt, and I am worried that you are not doing well."
Xia Qing remembered that every time Xie Ying's mother's sacrifice day, her grandmother would always lock herself in the Buddhist hall to pray for blessings and chant scriptures, not wanting to see people, obviously thinking about her daughter.
"After that, my parents will live in the capital on behalf of the Su family, and I will definitely invite Cousin Sakura to my house another day and let you meet your aunt."
Su Yu felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly spoke.
"Without your invitation, I will definitely visit the door and back up the generous gifts, my grandmother has always taken care of me all these years."
Xie Ying held Su Yu's hand and nodded solemnly.
"Sister Sakura now has her own sisters, and she almost forgot about us." Zhang Xuan pouted dissatisfiedly.
"Why, I will invite you and a group of you to my house another day." Xie Ying chuckled, Zhang Xuan is always so cute.
"That's pretty much it."
It wasn't until the sun was sinking in the west that the four of them reluctantly said goodbye.
As soon as she returned to Xie's mansion, Hong Aya came over and said that the old lady had invited her to the Buddha hall to discuss important matters.
On the way to the Buddhist hall, she thought about how she hadn't done anything out of the ordinary recently, and she really couldn't understand what her grandmother was about.
It was still the same room where Xie Ying was reprimanded last time, and grandmother Xu was still sitting on the couch chair holding Buddhist beads in her hand, her eyes narrowing slightly.
The only difference is that this time Xu looked at Xie Ying's expression quite lovingly, and that kind look that he had never had before made Xie Ying's back break out in a cold sweat.
"You sit down next to Grandmother." Xu said and stretched out his hand to Xie Ying.
Xie Ying's heart was turbulent, but she walked over with an inconspicuous face and sat next to Xu's hand.
"I heard your sister-in-law say that you saw the prince today, how do you think?"
Xu Shi stared at Xie Ying's face without blinking when she asked, she didn't want to miss the slightest change.
Xie Ying understood what this question meant, so she simply raised her head and looked at Xu's eyes: "The prince and I will be married in the future, and we will definitely respect each other as guests." ”
"Okay, yes, you're a smart one, don't follow my cultivation in the past few years." Xu Shi suddenly smiled.
Xie Ying was stunned, she had never seen her grandmother smile, let alone as brilliant as she was at this moment.
"Ah Ying, you have to remember that after your grandfather's defeat last time, although your uncle was determined to die, the current saint has always been suspicious of the Yasukuni Mansion." Talking about his grandfather, Xu looked sad.
"You have taught Brother Heng and Brother Huai, you must know the qualifications and abilities of the two of them, and they will definitely not be able to support the lintel of my Yasukuni Gong Xie family in the next few decades.
Therefore, the Xie family can only rely on you, on your position as the crown princess, and even on the position of the future queen, in order to maintain the glory of Manchuria.
I haven't been close to you all these years, because I want to train you well.
And thou shalt not be emotionally ill with the prince. Not only am I afraid that it will hurt you in the end, but more importantly, if you are emotional, you will give priority to the prince everywhere, and forget the Xie family, and even sacrifice the Xie family to help the prince make profits, which will disgrace my Xie family.
Now you don't have much affection for the prince, I'm relieved. ”
Listening to her grandmother's words, Xie Ying felt very ridiculous in her heart, she didn't know whether to thank her grandmother for her appreciation, or to feel sad that she was just a tool that could maintain the glory of the Xie family in her grandmother's eyes.
"Thank you grandmother for her teachings, and my granddaughter will remember it."
If Xie Ying used to have a glimmer of hope to get the same love from her grandmother as her grandfather, then from today on, grandmother Xu is just a title.
Looking at Xie Ying's well-behaved appearance, Xu patted Xie Ying's hand again: "In a few days, the queen will hold a lotus banquet in the palace, and invited some noble girls into the palace, wanting to choose a few concubines for the emperor."
The queen mother also specially sent Mama Zhu next to her to spread the word today, saying that the emperor has asked Qin Tianjian to choose a date, and your wedding date with the prince is set for October 25.
After entering the palace in a few days, the queen mother will inevitably summon you in person and tell you some time to get married, and you must be prepared in your heart. ”
