Yan sighed, put down the things in his hand, and said, "I know, it's just a sense of powerlessness, Zhenguan has been twelve years, you say, why can't you just make a fuss?" ”

Wei Yan looked very depressed, Xie smiled slightly, and said slowly: "In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun is critically ill, and we will treat it; In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Prince Chengqian was trampled by a frightened ox, but we were not disabled because of our treatment; The body of Princess Jinyang's little son, although some of them have poor resistance, has always been healthy, so it can be said that we have treated them properly......"

Xie counted them all, his eyes were like water, his eyes were warm, Wei Yan suddenly laughed, and said with a sigh: "Madam is wise and open-minded, she can still think more than me, yes, they have changed so much, what is not satisfied, it's just that I hope to do better, so that those who are good to me are all good, how good it should be." ”

Xie smiled and replied: "Just do your best, what the result is, it's not something we can control, we have to put our mentality in place, Lord Wei." ”

The character of this sister...... How to say that? Wei Yan smiled, and listened to the words. Xie Ting is satisfied, can listen to other people's opinions, is not self-righteous, not arrogant, which is also a good advantage.

Grabbing the tail of summer, I saved a lot of dried mushrooms and a lot of honey, all of which were filtered and packed, and I made a cup every morning and evening, which was not only for health care, but also for beauty, Xie liked it.

Because the princesses in the palace are gradually getting married, there are fewer and fewer people of the same age in the palace, and there are even fewer people who can play with her without bullying her.

After so many years of mixing with others, Wei Yan really figured out the age of the little son. He was born in the seventh year of Zhenguan, and now he is only five years old, and Wei Yan has always misremembered the age of others. I thought she was six years old, but if she was a fictitious age, it wouldn't be wrong. After knowing the age of his son, Wei Yan sighed very emotionally, this little Lori is really precocious. However, considering the situation of the eldest grandson queen at that time, she was pregnant shortly after giving birth to her son, with her physical condition. No wonder she couldn't afford to get sick, it is estimated that Empress Changsun and His Majesty Li Er didn't have time to take care of her at that time, and she was a lonely child, always more mature and sensible than her peers. So to speak. It's no wonder.

On this day, when Wei Yan came back from work, there was no one in the main house, and there was no one in the game room. Xie was reading the account books in the study, it was almost the end of the year, and the accounts of several families should be cleared again. The twins and their sons, Gao Yang, and Niuniu went to the small tree house. Today, the small tree house has become a favorite place for the sons. I brought a lot of knick-knacks, and piled up a small treehouse, all of which were fun and cute. Come under the treehouse. I heard the crisp voice of the little son: "Linlin." That can't be eaten. Just smell it. ”

Wei Yan listened happily, and the child's innocence and cuteness were just comforting. But......

"What are you eating!"

When Wei Yan climbed up, he saw the scene that the fat son of their family was stuffing a leaf into his mouth, with all the bells and whistles on his little face, and when he saw him go up, he grinned at him stupidly, smiling like a little flower cat. Wei Yan was angry in the past, quickly picked off the leaves in his hands, took out a handkerchief, wiped his face with disgust, wiped his daughter, it was no better, biting his fingers, drooling at it, Niuniu took a piece of candy, like a puppy, hiding in front, Qiqi drooling in the back. Wei Yan was extremely speechless, and her head was full of black lines on the spot, and she grabbed Niuniu's collar and brought her over: "Don't bully my daughter!" ”

Niu Niu giggled, and hugged her little belly with laughter, and fell on the fur that pounced on the tree house, and said, "Qiqi is so cute!" Master said that she couldn't give them too much candy, so people would tease her so much! If you don't believe it, ask Qiqi, she also likes to play with me. ”

"Pull it down, you can bully the child, shame or not." Wei Yan directly gave her two big white eyes, this little girl is too bad, and she doesn't know who to learn from.

"Lord Wei is back?" The little son greeted her happily, Wei Yan smiled and touched her head, the son was playing with Linlin, which was also the reason why Linlin's little fool ate leaves. Wei Yan was really speechless, their children suffered too much, playing with a group of ghostly children, it was like a toy sent to the door, pitiful. wiped his fat son's face with sympathy, and hugged his daughter to sit in his arms, so as not to be bullied by a bad sister.

"After a day of fun, shouldn't I do something?"

Wei Yan smiled with a wolf grandfather on his face, Gao Yang directly gave him a disdainful look, Niu Niu grinned, her eyes were full of defensive colors, only the son was wholeheartedly trusting, looking at Wei Yan with great interest, waiting for his next step. Wei Yan's heart was sweating, and it was not easy to live in this year.

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Wei Yan said: "Help collect dried mushrooms, come if you want to eat, don't come if you don't want to eat, hehe, listen to it." Son, let's go, we want to be diligent and good boys! ”

"Hmmm! My son loves to eat mushrooms! ”

Wei Yan picked up his son, ready to go down, turned his head to look at the two little fools in their family, Wei Yan instructed his younger brother: "Take care of them, don't hug them, save me to make trouble, and I'll pick them up again after I finish collecting them later." ”

"Yes, sir."

Brother Zhao smiled and responded, put down the needlework in his hand, and played with the twins. Wei Yan led the rest of the children down, muttering to himself in his heart, unconsciously, their younger brother Xiao Lori has grown into a beautiful little girl, this child, has grown up in the past two years, and his appearance is so bright, and his whole body is full of youthful atmosphere, it is good to be young. A flickering man with young skin and standing inside sighed like an old man.

In the study, Xie had just finished checking the accounts for the quarter, holding a cup of tea, rubbing his sour eyes, and asked in a low voice: "What about the young master and the young lady?" ”

Follow Xie to serve on the side

said: "The young master and the young lady are playing in the tree house, and they haven't been brought back yet." ”

Xie waved his hand and said, "It's okay if the master is here, I'm tired for a few days, let's go down and rest." ”

Li'er happily left to rest, before leaving, remember to bring Xie a snack or something, and then go back to his hut to rest when everything is ready. Sister-in-law Liu stayed, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped. Xie raised his head lightly, glanced at her, and said, "What do you want to say?" Although bluntly speaking, it is. ”

Sister-in-law Liu thought about it. Said: "Madam, it's about recruiting younger brothers, the little girl is almost eighteen this year, since she arrived at our house, follow Mrs. You, serve in front of you, isn't it time to arrange a way out for her?" The housekeeper said that the lady and the lord are not familiar with these, so let's remind them at the appropriate time. If Madame thinks it's presumptuous, then I'll ......."

Xie smiled faintly and said, "No, this reminder is very good." It's a good fit, recruit brothers...... It's really time to arrange her way out. ”

Xie groaned with a teacup and was silent. Sister-in-law Liu has been with Xie for so long and knows her personality. Knowing that she has already taken her heart, she is relieved.

When he was resting in the evening, Xie took out the question and asked Wei Yan, and said, "The contract for recruiting the younger brother is given to the eldest brother by someone else." The eldest brother transferred it to us and signed a lifelong contract, and the little girl was careful and well-behaved. Always diligent in the backyard. The question of her way out. Do you have to think about it, do you have any opinions? ”

Wei Yan scratched his head. Said: "My old man, how can I think of these things, we don't understand the rules of the Tang Dynasty, when I am on vacation, you can ask your stepmother for advice, she has been a housewife for so many years, and she has rich experience, so she can help you solve the problem." ”

When it was time for the public holiday, the whole family of the Wei Mansion went to the Qin Mansion to meet, and then all went to the Zhuangzi of the Qin Mansion for the weekend. Old man Qin has recently become obsessed with fishing, wearing a hat, sitting in the shade all day long, fishing for fun, however, poor results, often fishing all day can not catch a fish, occasionally lucky, can catch a finger long small fish is happy like a child, happily take it to the kitchen to make soup, said to let everyone taste. This frustrated a group of people in the kitchen - what should such a big fish do? Ask Wei Yan, Wei Yan also has a headache, so he simply makes fish fillet porridge, as long as it has the fragrance of fish, everyone drinks a bowl, and they have all tasted it, right?

A man's tricky method, obviously coaxed the old man to be happy, and specially allowed him to accompany him to the honor of fishing the next day, in other words, when the old man fished, he didn't like people next to him, saying that there were too many people and the fish were scared away. This reason makes people extremely suspicious, but as long as the old man is happy, even if he says that the fish in the whole pond don't eat bait, Wei Yan will happily and sincerely say that it is the fish that has mutated, and it has nothing to do with the old man's fishing skills.

On a rare holiday, wearing a hat, covering your head and face, nesting in the shade of a tree, dozing lazily, and doing things beautifully. What do you want to do on holidays? Of course, it's rest, as for the wife and children, it seems that in the female family, the two little babies are very popular, and it's too late to grab them, and it's not the turn of being a daddy at this time, just rightfully lazy.

A group of women, old and young, all sat in the gazebo in the garden, eating fruits, drinking herbal tea, doing needlework, chatting about gossip, the small days are very beautiful, Xie doesn't like to spread gossip, and he doesn't like to talk about other people's parents behind his back, but, Wei Yan told her, don't put on an attitude of refusal because she doesn't like it, in order to be more harmonious into the environment, into the crowd, sometimes, you can adopt a softer attitude, and the body can be softer. Xie listened to it and did it, and the effect was good. A man once quoted a quote from a book that said that it is in the nature of women to love gossip and that they should understand it. After listening to a lot, Xie also thinks these things are very interesting, listening to other people's parents, I can learn a lot of experience in dealing with people and keeping a family and husband. Could it be that women really like to gossip by nature?! To paraphrase a certain man, this is the puzzle of the century, and it is better to continue to let it be riddled, and not to be a thinker or anything.

When a woman's family is together, it is inevitable that she will talk about how a certain family is, and it is inevitable to show off her own situation intentionally or unintentionally. Talking and talking, I don't know why, I turned to the topic of the owner of someone else's house secretly raising a small outside, which caused all the female relatives to talk for a while, and talked about a certain male owner of the Wei Mansion. The people present today are all the ladies of the Qin Mansion, and they speak more affectionately and have no scruples. The daughter-in-law of the Qin family smiled and said, "Sisi, why don't you see Brother Zhao coming with you?" But the fourth uncle has the idea of closing the house? ”

Xie was stunned for a moment, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Zhao is getting older, that child can be said to be grown up by our husband and wife, Shiro has no intention of taking the house, he should be avoided, you have to pay attention, Brother Zhao was transferred to take care of Qi'er Lin'er, our room was handed over to Li'er, and Li'er has been with us for a few years, so it's easy to call." ”

The stepmother continued: "Sisi is right, since you don't have a mind for other people's little girls, it's good to pay attention to avoid suspicion on weekdays." ”

With the attitude of asking for benefits, Xie took the opportunity to ask for advice: "When we first returned to Datang, the batch of slaves we bought are now getting older, and it is time to talk about life, and there is not only one younger brother. Stepmother, I am young and have no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, so please ask my stepmother for advice. ”

After the guidance of his stepmother, Xie understood. How to deal with slaves, or depends on the personality and concept of each master's family, generally to the age of marriage, most of them choose a mate among the servants to marry, slaves have no status, no autonomy, freedom of marriage, freedom of love is even more nonsense. The stepmother didn't say exactly what to do, but just gave Xie a lot of practical examples and asked her to consider it herself. After all, the hostess of the Wei Mansion is Xie.

Xie took the scriptures in the Qin Mansion, Wei Yan slept beautifully, and the Qilin twins also had a smiling face, deceiving a lot of things to go home, one person and four can be said to have their own place, and when the holiday is over, they will go home. Xie also had an idea in her heart, and after she went back, she hadn't yet told Brother Zhao, but Brother Zhao had come to the door with a resentful face, and asked with a crying voice: "Madam, but what did Brother Zhao do badly?" But did Zhao Di make a mistake? ”
