Chapter 243: The Xie Family
"It's not late, it's not too late. As long as I can see you again, now I am dead, and I can be blind. ”
Xie Shi is soft and weak, and his speech is intermittent, and when he hears it, he is a person who has been ill for a long time and lacks qi, which makes Xiao Yao's eyes red.
"It's the son who is not filial, and the parents are here and don't travel far, which makes the mother worry at home."
Xie Shi smiled lightly, and on his already sick face, he could vaguely see the elegance of the year. At that time, the Xie family was a beautiful crown, otherwise he would not have been favored by the lord of Fuling County, and insisted on marrying and coming back to fight with the Yue family.
It's a pity......
"Fool, did you go out and enjoy yourself? How desolate is it to eat and sleep outside, during the New Year's holidays? Mother is old, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, don't be sad. ”
Although Xie said this, Xiao Yao was still uneasy.
"Mother, how could Meizhuang and Meixue be taken away? Obviously, when her son left, her mother was still healthy, why did she suddenly become sick like this? ”
Xie Shi didn't say in detail, but said: "It's good that they can go out to marry in Meizhuang, and I agreed." It's just that this illness is like a mountain, and my body is weak, so it will be like this. ”
Xiao Yao knew that the reason would definitely not be the case, but he just saw that his mother avoided talking about it, and he didn't want to turn over old accounts and make his mother sad.
"Mother, you have to get well quickly, I am now an earl, following the six princes. At the beginning of the year, I will take you and your grandmother to Beijing, and we will live happily together as a family in the future. ”
Xie Shi smiled softly, and his sunken eyes flashed with dazzling light.
"Okay, I'll go wherever Yao'er goes in the future, I want to watch you become my own son, and I want to watch your son grow up."
The more Xie Shi spoke, the brighter her smile became, but the tears in the corners of her eyes slipped down, showing that her words were insincere.
Xiao Yao felt sad in his heart, put his face on Xie's palm, and then knelt on the edge of the bed, covering his eyes. For a while, the room was filled with a strong mother-child relationship.
After Xiao Yao finished serving his mother and drank the medicine and fell asleep, he tiptoed out of the Orchid Garden.
"Jacaranda, is there still an old man in Orchid Garden now?"
The jacaranda immediately replied, "Yes, Fourth Young Master." At the beginning, Mama Miao, the housekeeper of Lanyuan, still lived in the back cover room, and the slave maid asked her to carry her. ”
"Bring her?"
The Miao Mama in Xiao Yao's memory is vigorous and resolute, and she is a fiery and fiery Lisuo person, how can she carry it?
Jacaranda said in a low voice: "Mama Miao fell on the rockery, broke her head, and broke her leg, but fortunately she saved her life." ”
"Take me there."
The jacaranda took Xiao Yao around the alleyway and came to the back cover room at the back. The houses here are quite low, and Xiao Yao can only walk in with his head down.
Mama Miao had already heard that Xiao Yao was coming back, but her legs and feet were inconvenient and she couldn't go to the gate to greet her. Now that he saw Xiao Yao, he condescended to see him, and he cried with excitement for a while.
"Fourth Young Master, why did you come here, it's dirty and messy here, and you don't deserve the Fourth Young Master!"
Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "Mama Miao, you are your mother's personal maid, and you also watched me grow up, even if you call you Aunt Miao, you can also afford it." ”
"Fourth Young Master! Why did you come back! ”
Mama Miao had all kinds of tastes in her heart, and she cried on the spot, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances in her heart.
"Mama Miao, you tell me the whole thing. This time, I will definitely not swallow my anger and let the Yue family be arrogant, and I will definitely seek justice for my mother. ”
Xiao Yao has already decided that whether he wants to be the prince of Weiyuan or not, he will not make the Yue family proud.
Mama Miao took the handkerchief, wiped her eyes indiscriminately, and said as clearly as possible: "Fourth young master, not long after Master Xie left, the young master also went out to travel. Although Mrs. misses the young master, she can stay in Orchid Garden all day long, raise flowers, paint and write, and live a comfortable life. ”
"It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, not long after the young master left two years ago, the Yue family put forward a request for Hou Ye to make the eldest young master the prince. Hou Ye said that there are provisions in the law, even if he folds the son and asks for a seal, it is not in line with the etiquette. ”
Speaking of this, Mama Miao's eyes shot hatred.
The Yue family made a fuss a few times, but she didn't convince Master Hou, so she hit the idea on Mrs. wants to kill Mrs., hoping that the Hou Ye will correct her, and her son can be the son of the world. ”
The deeper Xiao Yao's eyes, the more angry he became.
Mama Miao continued: "Madame never leaves the Orchid Garden, she has no way to start, so she lets the kitchen detain us. Fortunately, the lady had a good dowry, so she sent people out every day to buy what she needed. Because of this, Meizhuang often went in and out of the house and met the shopkeeper of Wang Ji. ”
Later, the Yue family wanted to expel Meizhuang from the government on the grounds of misconduct. Mei Xue defended two sentences, and was also branded as disrespectful to the master, and was expelled together. ”
"The Yue family sent the rough envoy Mama and the little maid to Lanyuan, and they were snub to Mrs. in every way, but Mrs. was unmoved before. Later, when Mrs. Xie Fuzi died, she was grief-stricken and had her medicine changed, so she couldn't afford to be sick for a long time until now. ”
When Mama Miao talked about the difficult days in the past, she couldn't help crying.
Xiao Yao's voice lowered a little and asked, "Meizhuang and they were driven away, why didn't grandmother send someone over earlier?" You're here, how can you let your mother's medicine be changed? Didn't anyone go to my grandfather's house for help? How could the Yue clan be allowed to bully his mother? ”
Mama Miao struggled to kneel on the bed, kowtowed, and said, "Fourth young master, the slave is useless, she was plotted, she broke her leg, and she almost died." The old lady was also sick at that time, and she really had no spare energy to take care of her. ”
Saying that, Mama Miao kowtowed again and said, "The slave maid asked her daughter to send the message out, and it was Meizhuang who personally went to the Xie family to deliver the letter, and the eldest lady of the Xie family also came to visit the lady." But I don't know why, the eldest lady went to Liuyingyuan, and no matter how much she sent the letter, she refused to come again. Also said~"
Xiao Yao's always warm eyes were already full of murderous aura: "What else are you talking about?" ”
Mama Miao gritted her teeth and replied, "The eldest lady also said that the lady is shameless and resides in the position of the lady. For so many years, it has not brought a little glory to the Xie family, but the Xie family has been pointed at and can't raise their heads because of their wife's means of conceiving the young master. ”
Xiao Yao's eyebrows were locked together, and he asked, "My mother, is this how she got angry?" ”
Mama Miao said boldly: "Since the death of the old lady and the old lady, the Xie family has not been very close to the lady. Later, I heard that after Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie broke off contact, her son was promoted several levels in the yamen. ”
"I see, why didn't the Yue clan kill his mother? Mother is now a fish on her chopping board, at her disposal. ”
Xiao Yao listened to these past events, and realized how difficult it was for his mother to survive, and he was even a little glad that the Yue clan did not kill them all.
