Chapter 607: Congratulations
The decree was soon to arrive. Xie Shurou, who couldn't resist, followed Mrs. Xie and reluctantly accepted the order. When she kowtowed to thank her, she really wanted to cry, she couldn't understand why the emperor suddenly married her and Zheng Ying?
The strangest thing is that Zheng Ying is also willing? According to her understanding of Zheng Ying, Zheng Ying hates her so much, she definitely doesn't want to marry her! This person's eyes are full of her little sister Mu Hongsheng, Xie Shurou feels that except for Mu Hongsheng, he probably doesn't want to marry anyone, why did he honestly agree to the emperor's marriage?!
The order went well, Mrs. Xie saw that Xie Shurou was very honest, so she was naturally very satisfied, she happily ordered the kitchen, saying that she would hold a small banquet in the evening to celebrate her granddaughter. Grandma Xie didn't look as happy as Mrs. Xie, she glanced at her daughter several times with a worried face.
Grandma Xie's worried look really attracted Mrs. Xie's two sentences, but Mrs. Xie was in a good mood and didn't treat Grandma Xie too harshly, but it was a great thing that Xie Shurou was given marriage to King Xin, so let Grandma Xie not think about it.
Xie Shurou seemed calm and resigned in front of Mrs. Xie, and let her do whatever she wanted, without resisting at all, and without crying and complaining. But did she give up resisting? Of course...... No!
It's just that Xie Shurou knows that in the Xie family, her resistance is useless. In this world, the survival of the eldest lady of the family depends on the family, she herself has no resources in her hands, no family background, she is nothing, empty-handed.
Because of this, an eldest lady like her is actually not qualified to talk to her family about conditions, the only thing she can rely on is the love of her parents and elders, but this love and pampering are limited, provided that she is obedient.
Therefore, in the Xie family, Xie Shurou's resistance was not established. But outside the Xie family, maybe she can still work hard for herself. Xie Shurou planned to find a chance to talk to Zheng Ying first, at least ask why Zheng Ying accepted the emperor's marriage.
She wanted to test Zheng Ying's attitude first, if this marriage was not wanted by both parties, then the next step would not be considered as a no-nonsense.
But that's all for later. At present, Xie Shurou has more important things to do, it is rumored that her little sister Mu Hongsheng is going to go out with the army, for Xie Shurou, other things can be put back, and this matter is the most urgent.
After Mrs. Xie ordered the banquet, she happily wanted to go back to her yard and open the treasury to give Xie Shurou some dowry, Xie Shurou saw that she was leaving, and hurriedly chased after her: "Grandmother, grandmother, I have already received the order, can my granddaughter go out?" ”
"Or do you want to go to the Anguo Mansion?" Mrs. Xie asked.
"Yes." Xie Shurou nodded: "Grandmother, I want to go and see Sister Mu, it is rumored that she is going to go with the army, I don't worry." ”
Mrs. Xie stared at Xie Shurou fixedly, with a bit of scrutiny in her eyes, and only nodded after a moment in response: "Okay." Miss Mu is your friend, and if you don't let you go, you can't feel at ease. You just go for it. I asked your mother to prepare some gifts, and also helped me greet Mrs. Mu and Duchess Anguo, no matter what, it is also a part of our Xie family's heart. ”
"Yes!" Xie Shurou saluted Mrs. Xie, turned around and ran, planning to change the gorgeous and lively dress on her body first. Now that Shuozhou is besieged, Mu Hongshang is going to go on the expedition again, the atmosphere in the Anguo Mansion must not be very good, she is dressed like this red and green and running to other people's houses, what does it look like.
However, before Xie Shurou went out, Gu Yilan had already come to the door.
The young grandmother of the Mu family didn't post in advance, and the carriage stopped directly at the gate of the Xie Mansion, Fang Xin jumped out of the carriage, took Gu Yilan's greeting post, and found the Xie family's concierge, saying that it was the young grandmother Mu who came to say hello to Miss Xie. This frightened the porter of the Xie family, and hurriedly ran to spread the word.
After Mrs. Xie heard the news, she was also stunned, and she said to her daughters-in-law with some confusion: "This young grandmother Mu Da is fast enough, and it hasn't been half an hour since our family received the order, so why did she already come to congratulate her." ”
"Hey! And that's not surprising. Grandma Xie Wu said with a smile: "Such a good thing, where can it take half an hour, according to me, it won't take a quarter of an hour, and the whole capital knows it." Mother didn't see it, our concierge has received several congratulatory posts. We also have some friendship with Anguo Mansion, when Grandma Mu was in the boudoir, she was friends with our four sisters, so she was naturally solemn and came to congratulate her in person. ”
"It's troublesome for her to go this way, she has a lot of things at home, and it's hard for her to be so caring." Mrs. Xie immediately nodded: "Hurry up and invite Grandma Mu to me." ”
"Mother also knows about the affairs of the court?" Grandma Xie Wu immediately asked.
"Naturally, such a big thing, how can you not know, Rou'er just told me that she was going out and wanted to go to the Anguo Mansion to see Miss Mu." Mrs. Xie replied.
"Alas! It's also pitiful. Miss Mu is such a girl, she was forced to arch forward, how can any girl go on the expedition?! Grandma Xie San sighed: "Old Madam Mu is really willing." ”
"The emperor personally made an order, what is the use of her reluctance." Mrs. Xie looked quite emotional: "You should talk less about these things in the court." Wait a while, don't mention these in front of Grandma Mu. This is not a good thing, and it makes people feel awkward. ”
"Don't worry, mother, we know." Grandma Xie San immediately replied: "People are kind enough to come to congratulate us, how can we not open any pot and mention which pot." ”
Gu Yilan entered the door, and gave Mrs. Xie a good courtesy, and then gave a very decent greeting gift. This congratulatory gesture is very beautiful, and the words are also good, but it makes Mrs. Xie very happy.
Mrs. Xie called a personal maid to guide Gu Yilan and went to see Xie Shurou, and after Gu Yilan left, she sighed: "Grandma Mu doesn't look young, but she has an extraordinary bearing, she is really beautiful, and the rules are good." At present, it seems that the Anguo Mansion has been cheapened, and such a good granddaughter-in-law has been taken away by Mrs. Mu. ”
"Mother, this is envy, right?" Grandma Xie San pursed her lips and laughed.
"Not really!" Mrs. Xie generously admitted: "Which one is envious, I am very jealous." Such a perfect girl, who of you will marry back as a daughter-in-law, don't you want to? It's a pity that I started late, if I had known, I would have to compete with the Mu family and hire her to come back to be my granddaughter-in-law. ”
"That's it! Who wouldn't love that! Grandma Xie San, who had already married her daughter-in-law, nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that such a girl is married to a military general, and her husband is not at home all year round." If you marry our family back then, I'm afraid that there will be more than one child. ”
