Chapter 4 Covering the sky with one hand

"I actually hugged Daddy's arm and sprinkled it coquettishly, I was about to grow as tall as Daddy, and I was not ashamed", Xie Jingyi's voice was delicate and soft, like a mountain stream and a clear spring.

If it was back then, Xie Jingyi would definitely have lost 800 rounds with her, but now, she only looked at the door, waiting for A-Niang and A-Sister to enter the door.

"When the two of you meet, you chatter, and the quarrel makes A-Niang's brain hurt. How good is it? As she spoke, a woman in a purple dress walked in, although the children were old enough to talk about marriage, but Zhai's face still couldn't find a few fine lines.

Xie Jingyi has been sighing for many years.

The Laba Festival in the first year of Xining is simply a watershed in their family's life. Prior to this, the Zhai family was born wealthy, respected by the husband, filial piety to the children, no oppression by the elders, no annoying concubines, and the sugar of this life was eaten first, and there was only suffering left.

The young man dressed as a Confucian on the left hand side of the Zhai family is Xie Jingyi's only brother Xie Jingze, he was promoted two years ago, and is studying in the Shanfeng Academy in Lin'an City.

On the right hand side is a girl wearing an apricot long skirt, she has a goose egg face, like Zhai's, she looks docile with her eyebrows and eyes, gentle and frugal, it is Xie Jingyi's eldest sister Xie Jingxian.

Xie Jingyi's eyes were warm, she sniffed, "It's just a little cough, I drank some warm porridge, and I was roasted by this fire, and I got a lot better." ”

Seeing that neither Xie Baolin nor the Zhai family mentioned today's visit to the Yongping Marquis Mansion, Xie Jingyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that the princess was no longer standing at the door of her house.

Zhai Shi reached out and touched Xie Jingyi's forehead, and sat down next to her, the fire in the basin was burning vigorously, reflecting the room a little red.

The Xie Jingze sisters also sat down nearby, Qingping hurriedly poured tea, and quietly retreated.

Xie Jingyi only felt that her heart was swollen very much, she couldn't remember clearly, in the early years in Lin'an, because it was difficult for the family to get together, every time Xie Baolin and Xie Jingze came back, they would sit together as a family and talk about the short gossip of the parents.

Plain and blissful.

Zhai Shi looked very happy, the corners of his mouth kept turning up, and he didn't even have time to drink tea, so he said, "I have met something good today." In the temple before, I met Mrs. Xu Tongju, do you remember? ”

When Xie Jingyin heard this, he glanced at Xie Jingxian narrowly, and then squeezed his eyebrows at Xie Jingyi.

Xie Jingxian blushed and lowered her head.

"But the big sister has a happy event?" Xie Jingyi exclaimed.

Speaking of which, not long after they went to the capital in their previous life, they were still in filial piety, and Mrs. Yongping Hou made the decision and married Xie Jingxian to a person surnamed Wen. said on the face that Xie Jingxian is sixteen years old this year, and he will talk about marriage after the filial piety period has passed, which delays the flower letter.

But later I learned that the grandfather of the Wenju man met the Marquis of Yongping in Weimo, and said that the eldest son and eldest daughter would marry, but it was not suitable, and this family matter fell on the head of the granddaughter's generation.

At that time, I just went to the capital, and I was helpless, all of them were my grandmother's final say, and when I figured out the doorway, Xie Jingxian had already married the Wen family's wife.

Wen Juren has tried and failed, his family is poor, and Wen's mother is a powerful character, but it's a pity for Xie Jingxian.

Now, Xie Jingyi is more urgent than Zhai to find a good family for Xie Jingxian.

Zhai's joy subsided a little, and he shook his head, "It's not accurate." The first Mrs. Xu asked someone to pass through the tone, saying that she had taken a fancy to my family. I looked at Xu Zining's character, and he was Jing Ze's classmate, who knew the roots, and he was willing. However, we are women, and we promised too happily, and the price will inevitably drop. ”

"At this end, there is news in Beijing, saying that Xu Tong will be transferred to the capital after the year. They are all mothers, comparing their hearts to their hearts, the Xu family has become a Beijing official, and it is not too late to choose a wife there. Sure enough, there was no news for months. ”

Xie Jingyi was shocked when she heard this, and it was also a shame that the Zhai family could hide things, she didn't know that there was such a thing in her previous life.

But when I met in the mountain temple today, Mrs. Xu personally gave Xian'er a post, saying that she would hold an ice fish banquet in a few days, and invited Xian'er to play. If it hadn't been before, I wouldn't have thought much about it, but now ...... Mrs. Xu is kind-hearted, if she doesn't have that thought, she will naturally avoid suspicion, why bother to mention Xian'er's name? ”

Zhai Shi said, grasping Xie Jingxian's hand, "My son, although A-Niang is quite satisfied with Xu Zining, but if you want to marry someone, you have to be willing to do it." ”

Xie Jingxian is already red to the root of her ears.

Zhai squinted, glanced at Xie Jingyin and Xie Jingyi, who were watching the show, and said with a smile, "You don't have to look at your sister's jokes, when you say goodbye, your aunt will ask you the same." For a lifetime, if you are with that inappropriate person, you will be dumb and eat yellow lotus, and it will be bitter to the heart. ”

Xie Jingxian bit her lip and shook her head, "Auntie, I don't know." ”

Zhai is open-minded, but they have seen too few foreign men in the boudoir, and they don't know what kind of person is suitable and what kind of person is not suitable.

Xie Baolin looked at his three daughters, touched his beard, and put the tea cup on the small table beside him, "Your grandfather, you have traveled from south to north and seen a big scene, at that time he once asked me and your uncle a question, he said, my son, what do you want to do in this life?" ”

"I'll say it first, I said that I want to be an official, so that the family will not be bullied; Your uncle said later, he said that he wanted to farm, if I become an official, I will definitely go to the capital in the future, then your grandfather and aunt, who will take care of the ancestral grave in the family? He wanted to do this. ”

"Now, Daddy, I want to ask you that question too. When you answer, you will know what kind of family you want to marry and what kind of things you want to do in the future. Jing Ze also talked about it. ”

Xie Jingze's eyes lit up, "Daddy, I want to be named on the gold list, like Daddy, to be a good official." ”

Xie Jingyin bit his lip and coughed several times before he whispered, "Daddy, I want to marry a big family, so that I can support my brother." ”

Xie Baolin didn't laugh at her delusional desire to climb the high branch, but patted her on the shoulder, and looked at Xie Jingxian again, "What about Xian'er?" ”

Xie Jingxian was stunned and said with a wry smile, "I don't have any big ambitions, it's good to be plain." ”

Xie Baolin nodded and looked at Xie Jingyi again.

Xie Jingyi stood up, straightened her chest, and finally it was her turn.

"I want to be a big man who covers the sky with one hand, shocks the government and the opposition, and leaves a name in history!"
