Chapter 16: The Goddaughter of the Ancestral Hall

The snow in the south is falling and melting quickly, but it is only half a day, and it is already wet everywhere like a heavy rain.

The eaves were dripping, and one dripped on people's heads without paying attention.

Candles were lit in the ancestral hall, and on the four futons that were brushed, the four sisters of the Xie family knelt straight.

Zhai Shi held the wattle in his hand and stood aside with a straight face, and it was a long time before he said bitterly, "It's all because A-Niang is shallow-insighted, and she looks at you on weekdays." The Xie family is upright, although it is several generations of farming, but all of them are hard-hearted and upright. If your grandfather is still here, he will definitely knock you out one by one. ”

The four brothers and sisters trembled and did not dare to speak out.

"Jing Ze, you are the eldest brother, tell me what the hell is going on? Jing Xian ...... Finally! Zhai said, slamming the table.

Xie Jingze understood the twists and turns, and hurriedly explained, "A-Niang, it's not what you think, and it's not that I protect Xian Niang." I am to blame for this. On my birthday this spring, I invited my classmates to my home for a small gathering. Xu Zining came early and saw Xian Niang who was collecting morning dew in the garden. ”

Xu Zining fell in love with Xian Niang at first sight. At that time, Mrs. Xu wanted to say goodbye to him, so he quietly borrowed Song Guangwu's way and begged Mrs. Song to mention Xianniang, and soon Mrs. Xu sent someone to give you a mouthful, intending to come to the door to propose. I thought that Zining has a docile temperament and likes to read and be knowledgeable, so he may not be able to make a name for himself in the future. ”

Song Guangwu in Xie Jingze's mouth is the son of Song Zhizhou, the elder brother of Song Guangxi and Song Guangyao.

He also has true feelings for Xian Niang, how can he not be better than those men who have never met, and the two parents are very happy, so they did not stop him from hanging in front of Xian Niang. But they almost didn't meet individually, and every time Xu Zining asked me to bring some rare things that were worthless, I asked Xian Niang to give him a kidney bean cake. ”

"Later, the Xu family took the path of Du Niangzi in the palace and was about to be promoted, Mrs. Xu suddenly changed her mind, Xu Zining was so anxious that she finally went on a hunger strike at home for ten days, and then she said that she had changed her mind."

Xie Jingyi was speechless, and he went on a hunger strike for ten days! A big man, when he encounters a problem, is he on a hunger strike? Why didn't he cry, make trouble, and hang himself? This kind of person can't do it! I knew that there was such a thing, and I didn't need to go to today's ice fish feast!

"Xu Zining has good intentions, consciously let Xian Niang be wronged, and pulled me to choose a hairpin, I swear that it is an ordinary hairpin, as a gift from my brother's best friend to my sisters, the kind of silver hairpin that will not be talked about."

Xu Zining begged bitterly, I thought that the two of them were about to get married, and it was not a big deal to meet in private. For fear of mistaking Ah Mei's reputation, I also deliberately let Xu Zining take our own carriage...... Ah Niang, I really don't know that Mrs. Xu is such a black-hearted person, Xian Niang is my brother who mistook you! ”

Xie Jingxian's tears fell, and her face was as pale as a ghost, "A-Niang, I was wrong, I ...... Today almost disgraced the Xie family, and her daughter was ashamed. ”

Zhai Shi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she threw down the thorn strip in her hand, walked over, and hugged Xie Jingxian's head, "My son, A-Niang is not afraid of losing face, and I'm not afraid that your father won't be able to be a big official, A-Niang is afraid that a few of you will not have a peaceful life." ”

"Yin'er has a big heart, but Nan'er has no heart at all. And you have the heaviest thoughts, and you don't say anything, A-Niang is afraid that if you really give Xu Zining a true heart, then this life will be ruined. ”

"You don't know, this world is extremely unfair to men and women, if you have a private meeting with Xu Zining, he will just add a romantic affair, and there is an extra female relative in the back house. And you? I have to be pointed at and poked in the backbone for the rest of my life. ”

"Your eldest brother is a son, I don't know. When we women get married, we not only look at the husband, but also look at the mother-in-law's family. Whoever divorces his wife and takes a concubine without giving birth to a son should not marry; has that little belly chicken intestine yin and yang weirdness, don't marry those who like to grind people to put on a fight; If there are a group of sisters-in-law and sharp chicken feathers, don't marry. ”

"The husband is amorous outside, but the woman lives in the inner house, and the time spent with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law is much longer than that of her husband. Flowers are not good for 100 days, people are not red for 100 days, so a little bit of affection, after a long time, it will be wiped out. Even if Xu Zining treats you sincerely now, what about the future? ”

"But whenever Xu Zixin and Mrs. Xu have a conflict with you, will he have to go on a hunger strike for ten days to defend you?"

"If you listen to A-Niang tell the truth, this matter should be a passing thing. No matter how good Xu Zining is, the Xu family is also a wolf's pit and tiger's den. There are many good sons in this world, this one is not good, throw it away, and the next one will be more well-behaved. ”

Xie Jingyi applauded without hesitation.

It's just that Ah Niang, if you don't have the heart to delete that sentence at all, then I think you have won every sentence and won Kong Meng!

If you want her to say, who are you marrying? She is a little lady from a rich and noble family who eats and drinks, what does she have to eat too much to serve her husband and in-laws, and give birth to children and concubines? Just thinking about it makes me wrinkle!

Why don't you set up a female household, find those hundreds of servants to serve, and ask for wind and rain!

It's just that she didn't dare to say it, she was afraid that the Zhai clan would use wattle sticks to whip her to death!

Zhai Shi glared at Xie Jingyi, let go of Xie Jingxian's head, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "A-Niang was angry first, and she left without even eating Yusheng." Now that I have listened to your words, I am relieved for most of my life, and my stomach is hungry. You guys have knelt in the ancestral hall here and thought about it, and A-Niang went to eat. ”

Xie Jingyi and Xie Jingze felt ashamed, but Xie Jingyin and Xie Jingyi panicked, "No, A-Niang, the two of us also have to kneel?" ”

Zhai shook his hand without hesitation, "If you don't report it, kneel for an hour." ”

As soon as Zhai left, the ancestral hall suddenly became silent.

Xie Jingyi picked the futon under his feet, and pulled out a clicking sound, this futon was a little old, and it would rot if he pulled it casually.

"Xie Sannan, can you stop picking? It's like a rat gnawing at the corner of a table. Xie Jingyin was unconvinced and patted Xie Jingyi's futon, but as soon as the ring was hung, the futon made a noise and rotted again......

"Well, I'm just thinking about life. Why doesn't Mrs. Xu look down on us? In the final analysis, we are too weak, if the eldest brother wins the champion and pays homage to the marquis, the second sister, you become a wealthy clanwife, and the younger sister and I become a big man who covers the sky with one hand. No matter how weird Mrs. Xu is, she has to be polite to us......"

Xie Jingze's hand tightened, "It's not a day's work." ”

Xie Jingyi pulled another piece of futon, "But you can do a long-term plan." Daddy has not been promoted for many years, and now he has accumulated enough credit, and a letter from the capital has chosen one of the three to fill the vacancy of Xu Tong's judgment. Daddy is bound to win, this is the first step. ”

"Spring is held once every three years, and there is still one year to go, whether it is the head of the eldest brother hanging beam, or the cone thorn stock...... Waiting for the title of the eldest brother's gold list, my little sister I am in the most luxurious Fan Tower in the capital, and I will set up a flowing water seat for you for three days and three nights! ”

When Xie Jingyin heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Where do you have the money, and you still boast of such a Haikou!" ”

Xie Jingyi glanced at her, Xie Jingyin couldn't help but shrink her neck, she obviously didn't want to listen to Xie Sannan's lessons, how could she be like meeting a master, she couldn't help but listen to the teachings!

"The second sister said that she wanted to marry a wealthy family and become a clan wife. If there really is an opportunity in front of you, you ask yourself if you can do it? How should I salute when I see an official, and what posture should I take when I sit and walk? How to deal with different human relations during the New Year's holidays? DID YOU KNOW? ”

Xie Jingyin was stunned and muttered, "I haven't studied it, how do I know?" ”

Xie Jingyi nodded, "Not really." Then why don't you learn it quickly, don't blind your face! ”

Xie Jingyin looked at Xie Jingyi in surprise, "Do you really think I can?" ”

Xie Jingyi took out a small bronze mirror from his arms, "As long as you look in the mirror, you can't do anything." ”

Xie Jingyin glanced at it, "I can!" ”

Today is another day to be beautiful by yourself!
