Chapter 640: Matters of the Heart
Xie Yingfen and Xie Hanzhi quickly walked out, and Xie Mulin and Xie Huizhi stopped talking.
Although I am very close to my two siblings, there are some things that I can't just talk about.
The four of them went to the backyard where Mrs. Xie lived for dinner. By the time they arrived, everyone else had already arrived. Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi continued to sit at the table and discuss the dictionaries of an article; Xie Yinghui sat alone in the corner, not knowing what she was doing; Xie Yingrong sat next to Mrs. Xie, smiling all over her face and trying to please her, but the latter was not very interested in paying attention to her, but unexpectedly gave Wanqin a good look; Wanqin almost squeezed Aunt Da Jin into the corner, and desperately patted Mrs. Xie's ass, and the shooting was obviously very successful.
Wanqin used to know that Mrs. Xie didn't want to see her, and she had always been very discerning and would not take the initiative to lean forward, but I don't know why, she has changed her normal behavior since the beginning of this year and has become attentive. After all, she grew up in a mansion, and when she really wanted to please someone, she rarely failed. Mrs. Xie is not an old fox who has been in the world for a long time, she has been flattered by Wanqin before, and her cold expression has not lasted long, and now she has regarded Wanqin as a caring junior. In addition to being still stingy and not rewarding this and that at every turn as before, she is still very willing to smile and praise Wanqin now.
Seeing Xie Mulin and his party coming, Mrs. Xie habitually criticized two sentences: "Why did you get to this time?" The whole family is waiting for you, what a big shelf! ”
Xie Mulin and the others had long been used to it, but they didn't hear it, and saluted her with a smile, and Xie Huizhi directly ordered the banquet to begin.
Mrs. Xie was also used to being scared, although she was muttering constantly, but she was not too verbose. Her three meals are specially prepared by Xie Mulin in the small kitchen, which is not quite the same as the dishes in the big kitchen, especially light, soft and glutinous and easy to digest, balanced in nutrition and taking into account the effect of food supplementation, and from time to time there is soup to replenish the body. Mrs. Xie was not very satisfied, and always looked at the fish on the big table of the grandchildren next door.
But thinking that her body has indeed gradually recovered in the past two years, and it is not difficult to walk around, knowing that it is the effect of medicine and food, she is not embarrassed to protest, so she can only complain a few times. Not to mention that Xie Mulin didn't care when he heard it, even Xie Xianzhi, who had always been careful and polite, could calm down and turn a deaf ear.
Mrs. Xie occupied a small table by herself, Xie Mulin and other brothers and sisters sat around a large table, and Wanqin and Aunt Dajin shared a small table beside them.
After dinner, according to Xie Mulin's arrangement, Mrs. Xie would sit for a while, and then go to the courtyard for a few walks to eat. This period of time has been occupied by Wanqin and Xie Yingrong recently, and they are courteous around Mrs. Xie, and occasionally Aunt Dajin will follow. But Xie Yingfen and Xie Hanzhi would not join, even if Wanqin hinted at the two of them several times, they ignored it, one claimed that he wanted to go back to reading and practicing calligraphy, and the other took the hands of his sisters and spoke, and fled the backyard quickly.
However, after leaving the backyard, Xie Yingfen quickly separated from her sisters. It's not that she doesn't want to be close to her sisters, but she and her eldest sister Xie Yinghui have never gotten along, and they feel that their tempers are not compatible. It's okay to get along with each other on weekdays, but there's no need to say anything in private. She saw that Xie Yinghui looked like she wanted to talk to Xie Mulin alone, so she naturally avoided it very blindly.
Xie Huizhi was also very eye-catching, he squinted at Xie Yinghui twice, then sped up two steps and chased after his brothers. Of course, this is all an illusion, and the brothers are going back to continue reading papers, so how could he stupidly join in and ask for his own hardships? Of course, after a few conversations, I went out to play with my cousins in the clan!
Xie Mulin and Xie Yinghui fell behind. She looked at the latter: "Eldest sister has something to say to me?" ”
Xie Yinghui nodded, pulled Xie Mulin into the aisle, and went directly to the Hanlian Courtyard where he lived.
Le Xia served tea and went out with You Chun and Lu Qi. Originally, Ma Yurong's two maids were just here to accompany Xie Yinghui back to her hometown, and she should have gone back to Ma's house before the end of that year. However, after Ma Juma recovered from her injury, the eldest princess of Yongning changed her original travel plan, and did not go around a big circle in the south of the Yangtze River, but first went back to her hometown to worship her ancestors, and then went up the river and went to Shuzhong to enjoy the scenery. With such a long road, how can You Chun and Lexia catch up? Xie Yinghui also regrets that she couldn't meet her friends again. When the eldest princess's family came back from Shuzhong, Xie Yinghui's side coincided with the change of seasons and had a minor illness, Ma Yurong wrote to order the two girls to stay and take care of the patient. This delay has dragged on for more than two years.
Now that the Xie family's three rooms are going north, they will definitely pass through the capital, and You Chun and Lexia will finally be able to return to their masters. In the past two years, Xie Yinghui has been generous, and the Xie family has treated them well, so they have accumulated a lot of net worth. Now they are busy packing their bags, saying goodbye to their new friends, and buying some local products to send to their relatives and friends when they return to Beijing.
Xie Mulin watched several big girls retreat, so he asked Xie Yinghui funny: "Eldest sister, what is the big deal happening?" is so solemn that he still retreats left and right? When I was eating just now, I noticed that you looked preoccupied, could it be that something happened to the girl of the Ma family? ”
Xie Yinghui glanced at her angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!" What can happen to Yurong? She just failed once, almost engaged in an unreliable marriage, and then didn't do much. Moreover, with this time, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will definitely be cautious in her daughter's marriage. Yurong herself hasn't been worried, I still need to worry about her?! ”
Xie Mulin asked, "In that case, what do you have to worry about now?" ”
Xie Yinghui sighed: "Someone from the capital came today, and Feiyun wrote me a letter." ”
This is Lu Feiyun, Ma Yurong's good sister, the daughter of Lu Fuzhi, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and her mother is a county lord of the clan. Xie Yinghui is good friends with Ma Yurong, and naturally she has become good friends with Ma Yurong's little sister. During Ma Yurong's visit to Shuzhong, another good friend, Zhao Ying, was catching up with the Li family to get pregnant and give birth, and she was very busy, and there was only one letter for more than half a year, so only Lu Feiyun and Xie Yinghui were left to keep a monthly correspondence. Xie Yinghui occasionally asks her about some news about the capital, especially related to the Cao family.
So Xie Mulin understood as soon as he heard it: "But what happened to your mother?" ”
Xie Yinghui said angrily: "Who else but her?!" If she stays honestly in Shaanxi to be her general's wife, don't go back to the capital to show her ugliness, that's it. I'm so far away anyway, I just don't know. But she didn't know why, she fell out with people like Fang Wenshan, and she was embarrassed to run back to the capital to beg the queen to make the decision for her. At the beginning, she wanted to marry Fang Wenshan alive and dead, for the sake of the surname Fang, she didn't even want her brother and me, why did she fall out with Fang Wenshan in less than three years? ! ”
Originally, it would have collapsed, and it was not the first time that Cao Shuqing had a falling out with her husband. But this time, she went back to the capital and made quite a joke. Xie Yinghui is about to pass through the capital, and she is looking for relatives and friends, and she is bumping into the big drama of her biological mother...... She also wants to be doughy!
