Chapter Twenty-Five: Poor Watermelon Baby
Xie Weiyi has been a little irritable lately.
This kind of irritability does not come from her third brother smearing honey in his mouth and coaxing her pocket money, nor does it come from climbing the mountain road for more than an hour tomorrow to go to Nanqing Mountain to greet his aunt Concubine Xie.
Xiao Hangzhi came to Xie Mansion recently when he had nothing to do, and coaxed everyone in the mansion to praise him, every time she was thundered by Xiao Hangzhi's anger, she couldn't help but beat him with her fists, and there was a little girl pleading with tears in her eyes on the side, "Miss, the prince is so handsome, handsome, gentle and caring, how can you bear to do it~"
Xie Weiyi almost threw up.
What's even more infuriating is my mother and aunt! Every time Xiao Hangzhi comes, she shush and ask for warmth, and she smiles without seeing her teeth, in the words of her third brother, her mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more pleasing it is!
Phew!
Xiao Hangzhi is a bad ruffian, except for the appearance of a dog, where can he compare to the brother of the Lu family!
Do you like Xiao Hangzhi?
Xie Wei thought for a while, and couldn't help but feel sad. Xiao Hang's family is good, he is handsome, he likes himself, and he is a good match in all aspects, but compared to the Lu family's brother, it is always a little bit worse.
She couldn't tell if she liked him or not, but when she saw him and Lingbi together, she couldn't help but sneer and sulk with him.
Hum! I hate Lingbi!
The listless Xie Wei shrank under the grape trellis, and had been thinking about life for a while, and whether there were any ice and snow cold balls she loved for dinner and dessert.
Niece Chang Wei staggered and ran over to her, shouting in a milky voice, "Little aunt, little aunt, my brother hugged a watermelon baby~"
Xie Wei came back to his senses and pointed to the soles of his niece's feet, "Slow down, little ancestor, beware of crying again for an afternoon." β
The nurse on the side kept carrying the hemp of the hemp in her hand, and said with a smile, "If you can't fall again, if you can't fall, you can't fall, the eldest lady can rest assured ......."
Xie Changxian, who was only four years old, struggled to hold a watermelon and ran over to put it on the stone table, panting and said, "Auntie, this watermelon is delicious, Changxian has given you the most beautiful one." β
Xie Wei was speechless when he looked at the watermelon, which was not much bigger than his nephew's head, and then took out a serious and distressed face and said, "Changxian, the watermelon baby is so small, you just picked it, don't you think you are cruel?" No matter how naughty my aunt was when she was a child, she wouldn't hurt watermelon like this......"
The nurse on the side saw that the eldest lady reprimanded the young master, and hurriedly maintained, "The eldest lady is like this, this year's watermelon in the back garden is very dry due to lack of rain, and it can only grow a little bigger, but the taste is not bad, the young master specially picked a basket for you......"
Xie Wei looked at it one by one, but it was not a basket of small watermelons.
Changyi took the bamboo basket and tiptoed into the bamboo basket, and said in a milky voice, "A group of watermelon babies~"
Changxian was aggrieved, "Auntie, Changxian knows that you love watermelon, so Tete sent it to you, but you ......"
Xie Wei hurriedly intercepted his nephew's aggrieved words, "Auntie is wrong, my aunt will send Bihe to the school to tell Mr. that you will have a day off tomorrow and go to Nanshan with your aunt to play, okay?" β
Xie Changxian was suddenly excited, "Pull the hook, don't deceive people!" β
Xie Wei hurriedly stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, "Trick puppy." Another look of mystery said, "Let's go after we get up secretly, while Chang Wei doesn't wake up, don't let her see us go out, otherwise she will be noisy again, go out and walk two steps and make trouble for a day." β
Changxian couldn't wait to get rid of the fart worm, and he was busy agreeing. Changyi, who is only more than two years old, is carefully observing the watermelon baby, who knows that he will be abandoned tomorrow.
Xie Dingyi blew the hooligan whistle and saw his sister blowing the wind in his nephew's ears from a distance, "Wei Yi, what are you doing badly?" are about to get married, why don't you hurry up and embroider the dowry, why are you in a daze? β
Xie Weiyi said indignantly, "How can there be! Third brother, I asked you to invite the elder brother of the Lu family to come to the house for dinner, why did you come back by yourself? β
Xie Ding spread his hands, "Your brother of the Lu family has recently taken on a few big cases, and he can't take care of eating because he is too busy, so how can he have time to come home." Besides, you're getting married, and it's not good to eat in the bowl and worry about the pot. β
Xie Wei burst into tears, "Third brother, I'm a little repentant." β
Xie Ding hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't, eldest lady, this is a marriage given by the emperor, you have to regret going to the Jinluan Palace." β
Xie Wei stomped her feet, "Third brother, let me ask you, does Princess Lingbi also take a fancy to the elder brother of the Lu family?" β
"Huh? Really? β
"You don't know if it's real or fake?" Xie Wei said in a huff.
Xie Dingyi smiled with a mouthful of white flowers, "I really don't know." Says who? β
"I saw it all that day! I just went out to find Qinghe, and as soon as I turned around, I saw Lingbi running away from the Lu family's brother and being courteous, hum! β
"Lingbi expressed his condolences to Minister Lu on behalf of the Central Committee and affirmed Minister Lu's recent work......
Xie Weiyi interrupted him mercilessly, "Learn less from your father's official tone!" β
Changyi hugged his legs and shook him as soon as Xie Ding came in, and kept asking his father to hug him, Xie Dingyi picked up his daughter with one hand, "Wei Yi, Lu Xiuyi is not a good bird, brother, I can touch it thoroughly, and Xiao Hangzhi has many scenes......"
Xie Wei covered her ears and ran away early in the morning.
Changxian tugged on Xie Dingyi's shirt, "Uncle, will you go to Nanshan tomorrow?" β
"Go. Your daddy is going too. β
Changxian shrank his head and looked cautious, "Then I'll go to school tomorrow." β
Xie Ding flicked his head and smiled, "You wish your father would hurry back to Lingzhou." β
Changxian hurriedly booed, a pair of black eyes dripping, "What's the matter." β
Xie Ding smiled, turned his head to look at a basket of watermelons, "Send them to my room." Changxian, why didn't Changye play with you? β
"My brother is reading again. I can't call him. Chang Xian was a little dissatisfied.
Changye is Xie Dingyi's eldest son, just over three years old, he loves to read and learn calligraphy, and his temperament is not like his father at all.
Xie Ding smiled, "It's not good for the children of the Xie family to be as boring as your father, and it's not likable when they grow up, so don't learn from your younger brother." Let's go eat watermelon together. With that, he took Changxian's little hand and entered the inner courtyard.
Early in the morning of the second day, the Xie brothers and sisters got up and prepared to go to Nanqing Mountain.
As soon as Xie Wei yawned and went to the flower hall, when he opened his eyes, he saw his fiancΓ©'s cheap face smiling like a peach blossom.
Seeing Xie Wei coming, Xiao Hang was busy in the past, "Wei Yi, today Rong Niangniang is going to hike the mountain and make incense, I am afraid that you will be bored on the road, so I specially asked Commander Chen to compile me in the list of going up the mountain......"
Before Xiao Hangzhi could finish speaking, Xie Weiyi interrupted him, "Can I not go?" β
My Sanqing ancestor! Xie Weiyi wailed in his heart, Nanqing Mountain has a total of 3,658 steps from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, Rong Niangniang is old, how can this old arm and old leg climb!
When Xiao Hangzhi heard this, he thought about it for a while, and said embarrassedly, "Rong Niangniang specially asked you to go, and said that she wanted to ask for a wishful knot for the two of us, and she didn't go...... Not good. β
Xie Wei was sullen when he boarded, beat Xiao Hangzhi's chest and said, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" β
Xiao Hang said distressedly, "Blame me, blame me!" I'll fight, don't hurt your hands~"
Because the palace nobles went up the mountain, Nanqing Mountain is under martial law today, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, Chen Bonan ordered his subordinates not to let an idler in! Thinking that he might be able to take a look at his sister from afar, he was excited and melancholy, which was really mixed.
The convoy into the mountain was mighty, lined up from outside the palace gate, Rong Guifei took the lead in a cuigai Zhu Ying eight treasure car, followed by Wu Shuyuan and Chen Jieyu, Lingbi and Han Jin in a car, and the two of them were nesting in the car and discussing the drama book they watched last night with great interest. Xie Mansion, Wen Mansion, Wu Mansion and others followed, and the Praetorian Guards led the way, and the group went to Nanqing Mountain.
After traveling for about an hour, just arrived at the foot of the mountain, in the bell and drum, Chen Tingfang, the head of Xuanmiaoguan, led the main road and Kundao to stand on both sides, and were already waiting at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Taoist is seventy years old, fairy wind bones, white beard fluttering, a look is a master, it is said that he inherited the Tao of Xi Huang Laozhuang, under the heart lamp of hundreds of schools and thousands of flows, Ming Yin and Yang, understand gossip, good at the art of Qimen, through the changes of ancient and modern, it is really a master.
Lingbi has never liked these Taoist priests who pretend to be gods and ghosts, and he can't help sneering because he has not been in a happy mood recently, "I heard that if one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven." If he wants to be so powerful, why hasn't he become an immortal yet? β
Han Jin thought for a while, "Maybe he's too fat and struggling to get to the sky?" It doesn't matter if he ascends to heaven or not, I can help his chicken dog and ascend to heaven early. I heard that this old Taoist priest raised several guinea fowl, do you want to roast or stir-fry. β
Lingbi groaned, "Spicy stir-fry, let the cook put more spices." β
Chen Jieyu was dissatisfied and said, "Niangniang came to see Concubine Xie today, but she didn't come, it's really presumptuous." β
Rong Guifei smiled slightly, but did not answer, the bamboo branch was busy holding the master's arm, and Rong Guifei slowly walked up the stairs.
In a small courtyard with a bamboo fence in the mountains, Su Yao panicked and pushed the half-asleep beauty on the couch, "Second Miss, Rong Niangniang has already arrived at the foot of the mountain, and she will pass by in a while, she will definitely come to see you, you get up and dress up." β
Xie Ruan Ning woke up, turned over again and continued to sleep, "What's the hurry." β
