Chapter 195: Returning Home to Visit Relatives and Ask for a Closer Look
Early the next morning, Xie led Su Che and Su Man, brothers and sisters, to greet Mrs. Su, and after breakfast, they took a carriage to Xie's mansion.
Xie Fu received a message yesterday and knew that Su Che had returned, so when Xie got off the carriage, Mrs. Xie Song had already led Xie Ying to wait at the Hanging Flower Gate.
Song was naturally very happy to see Xie Shi, took her hand and said with a smile: "Mother knows that you are coming back today, and you have already asked seven or eight times when you got up early this morning." ”
Xie shook Song's hand with a smile and whispered, "I should have come earlier, but my sister Man's son ......" Xie said, attached to Song's ear I don't know what to say, and the two women laughed together.
Xie Ying took Su Man's hand, stretched out his head to look in the direction of the carriage, and asked in a low voice with a red face, "Why didn't you see Cousin Che?" ”
Su Man couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Xie Ying's posture as a little daughter. She leaned into Xie Ying's ear and teased in a low voice: "Cousin Ying, what's the matter, my brother came here on horseback today, so naturally he got off the carriage outside the gate, and I saw Cousin Wen waiting over there." ”
Xie Ying heard the ridicule in Su Man's words, stabbed Su Man twice with a red face, and replied in a low voice: "I just asked casually, you look at your damn girl, it's actually me making fun." ”
Su Man smiled when he heard this, looked to the side again, and then asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you see the new sister-in-law?" ”
Xie Ying pursed her lips slightly, and replied in a low voice: "People are pregnant now, and the gold is very expensive, I haven't seen her come out of the room for more than half a month." ”
The new sister-in-law that Su Man said was Xie Ying's eldest brother Xie Wenxin's wife, Liu.
This Liu family was born in a scholarly family, and his grandfather Liu Chengru is now the country's son of the country.
This Liu family can be regarded as a talented woman who is famous in the capital, such a talented woman is a little high-minded, no wonder Xie Ying can't get along with her.
Thinking of this, Su Man just smiled and didn't ask any more.
The group of people entered the inner courtyard and went straight to the courtyard where Mrs. Xie lived, saluted Mrs. Xie, and then sat down and spoke one by one.
The ladies and relatives didn't sit down for a while, and the mother-in-law outside the door replied that the eldest young master and the prince had come.
Old Madam Xie was very happy, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, hurry up, invite Brother Che in." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the cotton curtain shake slightly, and two tall young men strode in.
Su Man raised his eyes and looked, Xie Wen was half a step behind Su Che, compared to Su Che, his height was slightly shorter, his skin was fair, his appearance was gentle, and before he spoke, he had a three-point smile on his face, which made people feel very amiable.
Su Man's impression of this cousin is not very deep, but he heard his mother say that his cousin can get such a family affair because the girl Liu, who is only eight years tall and has eyes above the top, personally fell in love with him.
Now it seems that such a gentle and elegant sunny boy is indeed the favorite of the little girl.
After the two of them came in, they saluted directly to Mrs. Xie, and when Su Che greeted the Song family again, Mrs. Xie hurriedly pulled Su Che to her side, looked up and down several times, and then said in a trembling voice: "Our brother Che is dark and thin, and life in Liaodong is not easy." ”
Su Che stood beside Mrs. Xie with a smile, and replied loudly: "I told my grandmother to worry about it, my grandson is doing very well in Liaodong, and my father is guarding it, and those thieves in the Jin Department don't dare to come to attack, so my grandson is just running horses and patrolling the city all day long, and there is nothing to do." ”
Old Madam Xie held Su Che's hand tighter and snorted, "This city patrol is not a simple errand, and it's no wonder that our Brother Che is as tanned like carbon." ”
Su Che was so happy that he bared out his white teeth: "What does a manly husband want to do so white, grandmother, look, the grandson has strength now." ”
As he spoke, he raised his arm and clenched his fist twice.
Old Madam Xie's eyes were a little wet, and she nodded again and again: "Okay, my brother Che'er has the ability, and when he grows up, he is a good son who can take responsibility." ”
Su Che was still grinning, and told Mrs. Xie a lot of interesting things about Liaodong, and then got up to say goodbye and walked out of the inner courtyard.
The mother and son of the Su family stayed until the evening, and after dinner, they left the Xie Mansion in a carriage.
On the way back, Su Che did not ride a horse again, but sat in the carriage with his mother and sister.
Xie Shi happened to have something to ask him, so he beckoned to him and asked softly: "I discussed it with your aunt today, thinking that you can get married to Sister Ying as soon as possible, and your aunt also means the same." Xie Shi said, raising his eyes to look at Su Che, "Although your father is not in the capital, I think you should understand what he means, I want to ask you, what do you think?" ”
Su Che thought about Xie Ying's flushed face today, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Xie Shi looked at his appearance, where was there anything he didn't understand, and said with a smile: "It's done, then I'll go back and discuss with your grandmother, go to the Buddhist temple to ask for a few auspicious days, and set the wedding date." ”
Su Che bowed slightly, and responded: "It's all up to your mother." ”
The carriage traveled for about half an hour, and then it turned into Lingchun Fang, where Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion was located.
The carriage turned around, and the little guy driving the car whispered through the curtain: "Madam, the prince, there is a sedan chair parked outside the gate of the Bofu, it should be Young Master Yan who is here." ”
When Su Che heard that Lu Yan was coming, he hurriedly stood up, and without waiting for the carriage to stop, he lifted the curtain and jumped out.
Xie frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything after all.
Su Che got out of the carriage and ran outside Lu Yan's sedan chair in three or two steps.
Lu Yan also just came over, just stopped the sedan chair and told Qingcheng to call the door, and then met everyone who had just come back from Xie Mansion.
"Brother." Su Che took two steps forward, saluted Lu Yan through the sedan curtain, and called respectfully, "Brother, this is just coming back from the yamen?" ”
Lu Yan heard his voice, lifted the sedan curtain, and saw the carriage parked not far away, so he asked with a smile: "Yes, you have just returned from Xie Mansion here?" ”
Su Che heard a lot of things from his grandfather today, and he had something to say to Lu Yan, so he nodded and beckoned to the little servant: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't open the door quickly." ”
The gate opened, Lu Yan got off the sedan chair and slowly walked into the house with Su Che, he turned his head to look at the carriage, but saw that the carriage had quietly entered the gate, and was walking towards the second gate.
I heard Tang Niangzi say that something was wrong with the little girl in the past two days, and I don't know if I can see her today.
