Chapter 220: Brother Protector
The Rong'an Hall where Xie Xian is located is in the middle of the Xie Mansion. Xie Mu is on the west side of Rong'an Hall, called Yi'an Hall.
Rong'an Hall is the place where the head of the family lives, and Xie's mother gave up the main courtyard to her eldest son after she was widowed. Later, Xie Shizhong died, and Xie's mother still wanted Xie Xian to be the head of the family, and did not want to move out of the long house, so she let Xie Xian, who was only seventeen years old, live in Rong'an Hall.
Second Master Xie Third Master was unwilling in his heart, it shouldn't be a junior's turn, they were uncles who wanted to make way for him.
But Xie's mother insisted on going her own way, and she fell into the cup with Xie Sanye, and she couldn't wait to point at his nose and scold him for being ungrateful, and his brother bullied his widow and nephew when he was newly mourned.
Xie Sanye is a person who eats hard and doesn't eat soft, so Xie Mu split his head and covered his face for a few moments, and immediately became honest, and he didn't dare to make a fuss again.
Second Master Xie was originally a concubine, and he has always been obedient in front of the old lady, without Xie Sanye jumping up and down, it is inconvenient for him to put his beak as a concubine.
It was inconvenient for the widow to live with her son, so Mrs. Yuan lived in a courtyard behind the old lady, three main rooms, one of which was converted into a Buddhist hall, and most of the time in a day was in the Buddhist hall.
Later, the name of the courtyard was also changed to be called Zizai Courtyard.
It is not far from Rong'an Hall or Yi'an Hall, and it is not far from it, and you can reach it through the verandah and a few corner doors.
Xie Xian took Xiao Baoxin all the way and whispered all the way to introduce to her the layout of Xie Mansion and the personnel in the mansion, which was not much different from what Cai Wei inquired about, but it was not as detailed as Cai Wei's inquiry. It is conceivable that as a Lang Jun, his vision is not in the house at all, but slightly.
However, before going out, Xiao Baoxin still put it in his heart, which was to reassure her.
She won't take it seriously, but she'll wait and see.
After all, she still understands her own temperament, not a wronged temperament, and sooner or later she will have to find a way back.
In the past, Xiao Baoxin came to Xie Mansion on the occasion of Xie's mother's birthday, but at that time, it was just a glance, it was inconvenient to taste, and it was far from being as leisurely as it is now. At that time, she had to deal with most of the siege from Yuan Jiuniang and several young ladies of the Xie family, and she had no time to take care of anything else.
The Xie family is worthy of being a century-old family, and it is full of low-key luxury.
Taking Rong'an Hall as an example, there is no need to mention the display utensils in the house, but she saw the piles of rockery turquoise in the room, according to Caiwei, there is a pond where the water is diverted, and a small pavilion is built near the water in the northeast corner.
Such a beautiful scenery is all made of silver.
It is not like the palace and the temple are rigid and symmetrical, the Xie Mansion is not formal, and the pavilion and pavilion corridor sill are fresh and free in the meantime.
Yi'an Hall enters the shadow wall painted with the pine crane for a long time, and there are three main halls around the shadow wall, and behind it are the five main rooms with carved beams and paintings.
When they entered, five or six maid rings were still sprinkling, and when they saw Xie Xian, they all bowed down and saluted.
Without Xiao Baoxin's instructions, Tang Li had already divided the prepared purse.
The girls also knew that there was a lot of reward, and they were overjoyed. Not to mention anything else, the main thing is that they can't say anything, their lady is beautiful and generous!
Thank you for the reward.
After a while, I heard a voice inside, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl came out of the door of an ear room next to the main room, with thick eyebrows and big eyebrows, and a small round face, which looked very pleasing.
"When the old lady heard the voice, she hurriedly sent the slave and maid out to be happy, and the slave and maid Zhilan said hello to the lord and his wife, and the lord and lady of the lang grew old together, and they were together for a hundred years, and they gave birth to a noble son early, and their children and grandchildren were extended."
This little mouth can speak, Gaba is crisp, and the small voice is like that of a yellow bird.
Not only can she speak well, but she has a heart, but I am afraid that she will not recognize it completely, and she also reported her name.
Xiao Baoxin smiled: "Borrow your auspicious words." ”
Tang pear doesn't need to be ordered, just go up with a big purse.
Zhilan was not embarrassed, thanked for the reward, pushed forward to open the door and welcomed Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin into the house.
In the house, Mother Xie sat on the couch, and Mrs. Wang and her two daughters sat on the embroidery pier below.
"- Brother, why is your face so white, are you sick again?" Xie Shan originally wanted to give Xiao Baoxin a stumbling block for her, but she glanced at Xie Xianhao and was scared.
Yesterday was full of red light, and the next day was already so pale, this is Xiao Baoxinke's, right?!
The corners of Xiao Baoxin's mouth twitched, he didn't even need to touch her to know what she meant, right? This is a brainless brother protector?
"What do you look like yelling, you're a big girl too!" The third lady Wang turned her head and glared at her daughter, her daughter didn't understand people, didn't she understand?
I am so concerned about Xie Xian, my sister has not seen her so attentive, what's wrong!?
"Thank you Erniang for your concern, I'm fine." Xie Xian said with a smile.
Mother Xie smiled, it was not the same thing, and greeted directly: "Come on, let me see, where to find this granddaughter-in-law, she is really beautiful and wants to blind the eyes of the old woman." ”
Xiao Baoxin stepped forward and hurriedly saluted: "Please grandmother, grandmother is blessed." ”
"This little mouth is also sweet." Mother Xie just waved her hand at Xie Xian, who greeted her, "You sit on the side for a while, and I will recognize the person for my granddaughter-in-law." ”
Xie Xian didn't care, Xie Mu smiled happily, he laughed even more happily, and the corners of his mouth were almost pulling to the root of his ears.
Don't talk about it, it's too much like a second fool, Xie Shan covered her face and didn't look at it.
"This is your third aunt." Mother Xie pointed to Mrs. Wang, who had just reprimanded Xie Shan, and said, "Because your mother-in-law is lazy, the housekeeper's affairs are handed over to your third aunt, but you can marry a new daughter-in-law and pass through the door, first adapt to it, and then quickly pick up the housekeeper's affairs, don't hide behind the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." ”
Xiao Baoxin responded with a smile.
Mrs. Wang is in her forties, with shaved shoulders and a long face, and her appearance is beautiful, and she can vaguely see that Xie Shan is following her appearance.
She has always known that Mother Xie is partial to the long house, so she doesn't take the matter of stewardship seriously, it is in her heart. A stupid woman from a poor family has a very bad reputation, so Xie Xianse made her faint and married her as a baby. If you want to be a housekeeper, you don't have to weigh how much ability you have first.
Mrs. Wang nodded lightly, took a quaint sandalwood box from the ring behind her and handed it to Xiao Baoxin: "Originally, I would give my nephew and daughter-in-law a meeting gift when everyone gathered for a while, but it happened that I came early and took the opportunity to grab the first share, which is also our fate." ”
"Aunt Xie." Xiao Bao thanked him.
In fact, Xiao Baoxin has seen Mrs. Wang before, and she is very arrogant, I don't know if it is natural to get used to it, her jaw is always used to being slightly raised, and she is used to being high on weekdays.
Then Mrs. Wang introduced her to the concubine who sat below.
Mrs. Wang gave birth to three daughters-in-law, the eldest of whom had already married, married to the second son of the Xu Shangshu family of the household, and now she is the governor of Yongzhou and the Taishou of Xiangyang, so she can't come. second daughter Xie Shan, fifteen years old, with a face of a pair of Peugeot melon seeds; The third daughter is only six years old, and her eyebrows are already picturesque, and she is five or six points similar to Xie Shan.
