Chapter 744: Banquet Noodles
Xie Mulin gently patted Xie Yinghui's shoulder soothingly: "Eldest sister, don't worry, the matter hasn't come out yet, and it is still unknown whether a river construction case can uproot the Cao family." Maybe the Cao family can still breathe a sigh of relief? There are many in-laws and henchmen in the Cao family, among which there are not a few high-ranking officials and eunuchs, and there are more people who can make your mother take refuge, not to mention that she has Fang Wenshan, a husband. You've been worrying about her future so early on, and you're thinking too much. β
Xie Jinzhi also smiled beside him: "Yes, besides...... Even if the Cao family is really defeated, Mrs. Fang can save her life, and it is easy to resettle. It's just a matter of renting a small yard and buying a few male and female servants to serve. At that time, she doesn't have to buy any jewelry and clothes, she doesn't have to socialize with people everywhere, she lives quietly behind closed doors, and it is not a problem to keep her wealth. After a year, the cost of a few hundred taels of silver will be at its peak, and your brothers and sisters will not be unable to take out this money. Besides, even if it is for the sake of your eldest brother and your reputation, your father and mother will not ignore it. What needs to be worried now is that Ling Tang may not be able to endure such a lonely and quiet life, and may be more willing to go back to General Fang's side to be the wife of the command. β
Xie Yinghui listened to the comfort of their brother and sister, there were always eyeballs rolling in her eyes, and her nose was sour, but her heart was extremely warm: "If our brother and sister can do this, we have already done our best filial piety." If my mother is still dissatisfied, I don't want to care about her anymore. It's a big deal to return all the possessions she gave me in the past and leave her to fend for herself. β
When these words were spoken, the big stone in her heart suddenly disappeared halfway, and if she thought about it carefully, if it was just to settle Cao Shuqing's life, it seemed that it was really not difficult. There is no need for their siblings to take care of them at home, they just need to rent a house or buy a house outside. Whether it's my brother or her, I go over every ten months to say goodbye, say hello, and ensure that she is provided for in life, and then bring her future spouse and children over to kowtow to her and say goodbye, and it's over, what's there to worry about? If there are still people who find fault with their brothers and sisters who refuse to take their mother to their side to take them to support, she can still dismiss the existence of Wen's serious mother-in-law! Naturally, it is impossible for a mother who has remarried to be treated the same as a mother who has not remarried.
Seeing that Xie Yinghui's expression softened, Xie Mulin reminded her again: "It's easy to say that everyone on the side, for now, you just need to watch out for the Cao family." If the Cao family sends something over, you have to check it clearly, and you must not accept large quantities of property! Some food cloth gadgets or something, but it doesn't matter. As for the rest...... Don't go to the Cao family anymore, and the eldest brother can't go either, if anyone in the Cao family asks you out, they will all refuse, lest they have bad intentions, want to calculate you, and take you hostage or something. Even if your mother asks you to see her, you'd better not agree. β
Xie Yinghui said: "Where is she happy to see us now?" If it hadn't been for my request yesterday, I am afraid that I would not even have the idea of sending someone to deliver clothes! I have long lost my thoughts about my mother, and I am willing to support her after the defeat of the Cao family, which is just the filial piety that a human daughter should fulfill. She left our brother and sister behind, so it's no wonder I don't think of her as my most important relative anymore! β
Xie Yinghui can be regarded as a preventive shot here, and when Xie Xianzhi wakes up, she will also inform her brother of the situation and remind him to be careful. Seeing that there was nothing to do at the moment, Xie Mulin and Xie Jinzhi took their respective farewells and returned to the hospital. After mixing in Guiyuan for half a day, they are also quite tired, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired, of course, there are also a lot of gains.
Xie Mulin changed into his homely clothes, took a short nap, and when he woke up, it was already the sun setting in the west.
Xiangtao came in to serve her to freshen up, and reported to her by the way: "The Guiyuan side has ended, and the nobles have all gone by car, and I heard that they are all very happy." The people in the eldest princess's mansion are packing up their things, and my father and mother have brought people to wait at the side door, and when they finish cleaning up and return the key, it will be our family's turn to enter the garden to clean up the aftermath. β
Xie Mulin hurriedly asked, "After I came back, everything went well in the garden, right?" Didn't make any more trouble, did you? β
Xiangtao shook her head: "It should be okay to think about it." My father said that looking at the people in the Eldest Princess's Mansion as usual, even if there is really a small accident, it is not a big deal. β
Shermulin nodded. If it weren't for a particularly important matter, the people of the eldest princess's mansion and the royal family in the garden would probably keep the secret and not let the descendants of the foreign minister's family know, after all, the ugliness of the family will not be publicized...... It was purely his bad luck to frame his fiancΓ©e and cousins like the third prince, but to expose his stuff in front of the daughter of the minister.
Speaking of which, Xiao Rui should have already told King Yan about the matter between the three princes and the Lan family, right? Xie Yinghui also quietly told Ma Yurong, who wanted to inform the eldest princess of Yongning. After the two nobles know about it, how will things end? Can the Fenyang Royal Mansion swallow this breath? It's curious......
Xie Mulin was thinking nonsense, and asked Xiang Tao: "Is there a guest coming to the door today?" Can someone send a letter? β
Xiang Tao shook her head: "Except for the second young master Xiao who left a message for the third young master on the door, no one else came to the door or sent a letter." After a pause, "Oh, the eldest princess of Yongning gave a table of noodles to the old lady, and she has already sent it to Jinxuan Hall." This is just now. The old lady probably won't go to the outer hall tonight to have dinner with the young masters and girls, right? β
Shermulin raised an eyebrow. The eldest princess of Yongning gave Mrs. Xie a seat? This is probably just a polite gesture from her. If she and Ma Juma really took a fancy to Xie Xianzhi as their son-in-law as Xie Jinzhi guessed, then it would be normal etiquette for the elders of the future in-laws' family to exchange courtesies. It's just that...... Mrs. Xie seems to have a little knot in her heart for the eldest princess of Yongning......
Xie Mulin dressed up, seeing that the time was almost up, and it was time to go to the front yard to have dinner with his brothers and sisters, so he decided to go to Jin Xuantang first to take a walk to see what Mrs. Xie's attitude was towards that table.
Who knew that when she arrived at Jin Xuantang, she unexpectedly saw Xie Yingrong. Mrs. Xie actually changed her angry and disgusted attitude a few days ago, and greeted her third granddaughter to eat vegetables with a smile on her face. And on the small round table in front of Xie Yingrong, there were eighteen small plates on the table, and the dishes in them were all exquisite, but the portions were very small - of course, the sum was enough for Xie Yingrong to eat.
Mrs. Xie also had the same eighteen dishes in front of her, all of which were served on delicate dishes made inside. Obviously, the eighteen dishes in front of Xie Yingrong were all distributed from Old Madam Xie. But with such a big table, why do you have to eat at the same table?
Old Lady Xie had several masters and servants, all of whom stared at Xie Yingrong nervously and persuaded her to eat. Xie Yingrong originally came over happily, but when she saw them like this, she was shocked and refused to move her chopsticks.
Mrs. Xie became impatient after persuading and persuading, and with a smile on her face, she slapped the table with her hand: "What are you doing?!" kindly asked you to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but you didn't appreciate it?! You're going to be embarrassed, aren't you?! β
Xie Yingrong trembled, suddenly covered his face and fell to the ground, as if unintentionally, his sleeves dragged on the table, and he pulled four or five small plates to the ground and shattered them. She also cried out, "Old lady forgive her sins! The granddaughter was really moved and flattered. Your old man doesn't move chopsticks, how dare your granddaughter eat first?! β
Xie Mulin watched it funny. Dare to love this pair of grandchildren...... Is it poisonous in the suspicious cabbage?!
