Chapter 104: A tense reunion dinner
Xie Fuyi sighed, he looked at Qi Yan, and said earnestly: "We just came back, we should go to ask my mother to say goodbye, save her from finding faults." ”
Qi Yan spread his hands: "I'll go, she will still find faults." ”
Xie Fuyi said: "With me protecting you, don't be afraid." ”
"I'm not afraid." Qi Yan retorted, "I just find it troublesome. ”
"I'm here." Xie Fuyi said, "It's not troublesome. ”
Qi Yan looked at him from the bottom up and was silent for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Xie Fuyi was puzzled.
Qi Yan still didn't answer, but looked at Xie Fu Yi carefully again in his heart.
The person in front of you...... Is it really Xie Fuyi?
"Qi Yan?"
"Huh? It's okay. Qi Yan gathered his thoughts, slowly stood up, and said, "You wait for me to clean up." ”
Xie Fuyi saw that she agreed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Well, I'll wait for you." ”
Qi Yan quickly figured himself out.
Raised his eyebrows at Xie Fu Yi: "Let's go." ”
"Okay."
Xie Fu Yi stepped forward and took Qi Yan's hand.
Qi Yan was going to take it back, but after drawing it a few times without success, she simply gave up.
…………
…………
When the two went to Mrs. Xie's residence, Yanning Courtyard, it was already past dinner time, but Mrs. Xie still waited patiently for the two. To be exact, she waited patiently for Xie Fuyi.
In addition to Mrs. Xie, there were also Master Xie and Xie Xianxian at the dinner table.
"Why hasn't my brother come yet?" Xie Xianxian said, and couldn't help but look out.
Master Xie on the side said: "It's been a long journey, let your brother and sister-in-law clean up well, let's wait a little longer." ”
Xie Xianxian pouted: "Qi ...... Sister-in-law, she's too slow. As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie waved her hand and said to the maid beside her, "Go and see the ...... son."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Fuyi came with Qi Yan.
"Brother!" Xie Xianxian stood up and looked at Xie Fu Yi with joy on his face, "You're finally here." ”
Xie Fuyi said: "I had some things on the way, and I went back and was delayed. ”
As he spoke, Mrs. Chong Xie saluted Master Xie.
Qi Yan followed.
"Sit, sit." Master Xie said.
Xie Fuyi took Qi Yan to a seat.
During this period, Qi Yan didn't say a word, and just sat in front of Xie Fuyi.
Xie Xianxian looked at the people at the table, his eyes fell on Xie Fuyi, and said with a smile: "Except for grandpa who is not here today, our family is all gone." ”
Hearing this, Qi Yan frowned lightly and glanced at Xie Xianxian.
Xie Fu Yi coughed lightly and said, "Xian Xian, what are you reading at home these days?" ”
Xie Xianxian was stunned, and didn't react for a while, how could Xie Fuyi ask this question.
However, as long as Xie Fuyi asked, Xie Xianxian was willing to answer.
"Recently, I've been watching "Zizhi Tongjian". She replied with a smile, "The historical stories in it have inspired me a lot." ”
As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Qi Yan: "Sister-in-law, you can also read it when you have time......
Qi Yan was about to reply.
Xie Xianxian suddenly said again: "Oh, I forgot, you probably don't want to read it, right?" There are some words in it, which are quite obscure. ”
Qi Yan: "......"
"Slim, what do you mean by that?" Qi Yan didn't speak, but Xie Fu Yi opened his mouth.
Xie Xianxian didn't expect Xie Fuyi to speak at this time, and his tone was still questioning.
"Brother, I don't mean anything else......" Xie Xianxian looked at Xie Fu Yi cautiously, turned her head slightly, and looked at Mrs. Xie as if asking for help.
Mrs. Xie on the side received Xie Xianxian's call for help, and directly took Xie Xianxian's words, and said: "Xianxian is not malicious, she just thought of Qi Yan's background and felt that she was a servant girl and had no chance to read and write...... So I want to teach her to read. ”
"Yes, yes......" Xie Xianxian hurriedly said, "If I have the opportunity, I can teach my sister-in-law to read." ”
"Your sister-in-law doesn't need you to teach, but you ......" Xie Fuyi's voice was slightly cold, and he said slowly, "As the young lady of the Xie family, you can't just study." Our family is in business, and in addition to studying, you also have to learn to settle accounts. ”
"I, I'm learning......" Xie Xianxian said stiffly.
"Not only to learn, but also to learn." Xie Fuyi said, "I don't want to read "Zizhi Tongjian" according to me, I want to learn to read the account books with your sister-in-law, and plan to plate it, when you are as skilled as her, you can be regarded as worthy of the title of the eldest lady of the Xie family." ”
"I ......" Xie Xianxian was speechless by what Xie Fu Yi said, and wanted to refute it, but when he saw Xie Fu Yi's cold look, the words in his mouth were suppressed.
She could only look at Mrs. Xie again with help in distress.
Mrs. Xie frowned: "What does the girl's family learn to read the account books?" Slender and don't take over the family's business. ”
Xie Fuyi did not show weakness, and continued: "However, Xian Xian will marry sooner or later, she will be the housewife in the future, and the housemother will naturally be in charge of the family's money...... Or ......"
Xie Fuyi paused and said, "Xian Xian doesn't plan to be a housewife?" ”
is not the main mother, naturally she is a concubine.
Xie Fuyi's words were not very good, and Mrs. Xie directly lowered her face.
Originally, Xie Fu Yi came back from Youzhou, the wind and dust, the family got together, and Mrs. Xie planned to have a lively and festive reunion dinner.
However, Xie Fuyi's words and deeds ......
Thinking of this, she glared at Qi Yan fiercely.
Qi Yan, who has not said a word since he took his seat: "......"
Kind of innocent.
However, she was happy to watch the show, looking at the ugly faces of Mrs. Xie and Xie Xian Tieqing, there was nothing better than this.
"Fu Yi, what do you mean by that?" Mrs. Xie has never been compromised, and directly put down her chopsticks.
Xie Fuyi looked very innocent and said, "Mother, why do you ask me that? It's that I don't understand what Xie Xianxian means. ”
"What does it mean to be a slender one?!" Mrs. Xie said, "Your brother is back!" She was genuinely happy. ”
Xie Fuyi said: "I am sincerely happy to be back." ”
said, looking at Qi Yan: "You too, right?" ”
Qi Yan knew that at this time, it was time for her to cooperate with acting, so she was very sensible and nodded.
"Since we are all happy...... Xie Fuyi looked at Mrs. Xie with a smile again, "Mother, can we eat?" After so many days outside, to be honest, I miss the meals in your yard. ”
Mrs. Xie: "......"
Originally, there was some tension in the atmosphere, which made Xie Fu Yisi confused.
Mrs. Xie was angry in her heart, but she looked at her son who came back from the dust......
In the end, all of a sudden, I ate it like this.
Qi Yan was also really hungry, lowered his head, and ate with all his attention. Grave
Xie Xianxian learned the previous lesson, and she didn't dare to find fault with her in the future, but Mrs. Xie didn't like Qi Yan in the first place, but now she didn't look in the way of Qi Yan.
After finishing the meal, Xie Fuyi took Qi Yan to leave.
Mrs. Xie said, "Fu Yi, you go first and let Qi Yan stay." ”
Xie Fu Yi paused.
I only heard Mrs. Xie say: "I am also very curious about this trip to Youzhou, so let Qi Yan stay and talk to me." ”
Xie Fuyi frowned slightly: "Mother, the trip to Youzhou, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you." ”
"I just want to hear what Qi Yan says." Mrs. Xie said, "It's not early, Fu Yi, you go back and rest." Qi Yan will live in my yard tonight. ”
When Xie Fuyi heard this, his feet did not move.
"How?" Mrs. Xie seemed to be smiling, and said half-jokingly, "Are you still afraid that I won't be able to eat Qi Yan?" ”
I'm really afraid that you will eat her......
These words could only flash in Gongzi Xie's mind, and naturally he couldn't say them.
"Mother, Qi Yan and I are tired." Xie Fuyi grabbed Qi Yan's hand and said, "Today, I want to take her back to rest, and tomorrow, I will bring her to greet you again." ”
As he spoke, he was about to leave with Qi Yan.
"Xie Fu Yi!" Mrs. Xie's face sank.
Before her temper came up, she waved her hand at the maid in the house: let everyone go down.
There were only Mrs. Xie and Xie Fuyi and Qi Yan in the room, and Mrs. Xie didn't have to endure it anymore: "Xie Fuyi, what do you mean!" Deliberately me off! Is it? ”
"I didn't." Xie Fuyi was still holding Qi Yan's hand.
"Fu Yi, you, you have changed...... Mrs. Xie said, frowning and looking at Xie Fu Yi, as if she was looking at a stranger.
"Mother, I am who I am, how can it change?" Xie Fuyi sighed.
"You wouldn't have disobeyed me so blatantly before." Mrs. Xie said, and the person had already walked in front of Qi Yan and Xie Fuyi, "What happened to you on this trip to Youzhou......
As he spoke, he looked at Qi Yan with burning eyes: "Could it be that you are pregnant again?" ”
The corners of Qi Yan's mouth twitched and shook his head.
Mrs. Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and then became angry again: "Fu Yi, I repeat, you go, let Qi Yan stay." ”
Xie Fuyi shook his head and looked resolute: "Mother, I know what you want to do if you leave Qi Yan." ”
Mrs. Xie said, "What do you say I'm going to do?" ”
"I don't have to say these words, you know it in your heart......" Xie Fu Yi squeezed Qi Yan's hand, not knowing whether he wanted to give her courage or draw courage from her.
Xie Fu Yi sighed lightly and said, "Since this is the case, let's just talk about it." ”
"Say what?" Mrs. Xie narrowed her eyes.
Xie Fuyi looked at Mrs. Xie seriously, word by word, and said seriously: "This time, in front of Qi Yan, I will say what I told you on my wedding day. ”
Qi Yan on the side blinked.
Say it again?
On the day Xie Fuyi married her, what did he say to Mrs. Xie?
"I, Xie Fuyi, only love Qi Yan alone in this life, I only want her." Xie Fu Yi said to Mrs. Xie.
Qi Yan on the side: "......"
Xie Fuyi exhaled lightly and continued: "Mother, my heart is the same as it was then, it will not change now, and it will not change in the future......"
When Mrs. Xie heard this, her body trembled slightly, and she didn't know if she was angry: "Xie Fuyi, she is not everyone's lady!" She's just a maid! Servant girl! ”
When she said this, she pointed directly at Qi Yan's nose, no maid was present, and Mrs. Xie didn't have to protect the Xie family's face, she was blunt, and yelled at Xie Fu Yi: "You are the son of the Xie family!" How can you spend your life with a maid......"
"She is the wife I am marrying, not a maid." Xie Fu Yi clenched Qi Yan's hand and resolutely refuted Mrs. Xie, "You also agreed to the original marriage. ”
Mrs. Xie shook her head, not caring if Qi Yan was not there, and said directly: "The reason why I agreed with you to marry her is to slap the Qi family in the face!" I never thought that a lowly maid would be the future housewife of the Xie family! ”
Xie Fuyi said: "Mother, she is my wife, the future housemother of the Xie family." ”
"Impossible!" Mrs. Xie said resolutely, "As long as I live, it will never be possible!" She! ”
Mrs. Xie pointed to the tip of Qi Yan's nose, eager to poke her fingers into her eyes: "Her stomach is not angry!" People are not angry! You're still angry with me everywhere! Still delusional about being the housewife of the Xie family?! Dream! ”
Qi Yan "......"
When Xie Fuyi heard this, he sighed softly: "Mother, I don't argue with you, I just say one word, if Qi Yan is injured a little in the Xie family......"
"What do you want?! You still want to take revenge on me!? ”
"Nope." Xie Fuyi shook his head and said, "She suffered one wound, and I added ten." ”
"Xie Fu Yi!" Mrs. Xie's eyes widened.
"You are my mother, I can't do anything to you, but ......," Xie Fuyi said, "I can accompany Qi Yan." ”
"You, you ......" Mrs. Xie glared at Xie Fuyi, as if she was looking at a monster, and she was speechless for a while.
Qi Yan on the side looked at the serious Xie Fuyi, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"You!!" Mrs. Xie suddenly turned her head and looked straight at Qi Yan, as if she had found the root, "A trip to Youzhou!" What did you do to Fu Yi! ”
Qi Yan looked innocent and couldn't laugh or cry.
If she could, she would also want to know what she had done to Xie Fuyi, or what Xie Fuyi had done to herself.
Don't say that Mrs. Xie was surprised.
Even Qi Yan followed Xie Fuyi all the way, and felt that he had changed a lot.
Especially when treating himself, Xie Fuyi in the past would also tell Qi Yan that he liked her, but he wouldn't be like this...... So desperate.
Xie Fu Yi who is together will still be restrained, and he will mediate between Mrs. Xie and Qi Yan, a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
But the trip to Youzhou......
Xie Fu Yi said his feelings for Qi Yan unabashedly, warm and chicheng.
It's no wonder that Mrs. Xie couldn't accept it for a while.
"Mother, if it's okay, I'll go back with Qi Yan first." Xie Fu Yi saluted Mrs. Xie and left with Qi Yan.
…………
…………
On the way back, Xie Fuyi only held Qi Yan's hand all the time.
Qi Yan was caught a little painfully.
"Xie Fuyi." Qi Yan paused and said, "My hand hurts." ”
Xie Fu Yi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly let go of Qi Yan: "Are you okay?" ”
Qi Yan rubbed his wrist, which had turned red, and his expression flashed a trace of unnaturalness: "It's okay......"
When Xie Fuyi heard this, he naturally stretched out his hand to her.
"Do what?" Qi Yan blinked and asked puzzledly.
"Lead you." Xie Fu Yi replied generously.
Qi Yan said: "I can walk by myself, why do I want you to lead me?" ”
As he spoke, he was going to walk forward by himself.
Xie Fuyi grabbed her and smiled: "It's dark, I'll hold you, you won't wrestle." ”
Qi Yan's expression stiffened slightly, and he looked at Xie Fuyi with a complicated expression: "Were you a child at the time?" ”
