As soon as Xie An's wife Liu got the news, she rushed here in three steps and two steps, and the Xie family's middle feed has been in her hands for more than 20 years, and she has never made such a mistake.

In the years when she first married Xie An, Xie An was still an idle person living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, a family that only knew how to travel in the mountains and rivers, chant poems with friends or talk about metaphysics, there were no unreasonable in-laws in the Liu family, and there were no official eunuchs who needed to deal with it, so the Xie family was naturally very easy to take care of. In those most leisurely days, Liu also pointed to the chariots and horses of other dignitaries and nobles, and made fun of his husband and said, "Don't you want to be rich and noble?" ”

Who knew that not long after that, Xie An walked into the center of power, and soon brought the Xie family to the peak of power. At that time, the Xie family was busy with traffic, and the Liu family couldn't manage it alone, but fortunately, the prime minister Xie An was in a high position and was extremely trusted by the emperor, and it was too late for others to flatter the Liu family, so who would embarrass her? For reasons like these, although the Liu family has been in charge of the Xie family for more than 20 years, they have never faced such a thrilling scene.

She is a person who is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, and in the eyes of the people of the time, she is a "jealous woman" who is not allowed to thank An's concubine, but Hagi Niang can understand her feelings as a master mother and a mother. It is very foolish to exchange the peace and harmony of the family for the sake of meaningless fame.

Seeing that her husband and son were fine, Liu couldn't help but feel relieved, but she still couldn't help but throw herself into Xie An's arms, hugged him tightly and cried, her personality was innocent and straightforward, Xie Ying's character was completely inherited from her, at this time, there were housekeepers Yin and a few domestic servants around, she didn't shy away from it, sobbing and crying.

Xie An knew his wife very well and didn't think it was a fool, he hugged Liu gently, and comforted him in a low voice. Xie Yan seemed to be very accustomed to such a scene, and did not step forward to persuade him, but quietly retreated with the servants, leaving only a dozen sturdy domestic servants to guard the door, in case there was a second plot.

Xie Yan's attendant Mo'er led the two to the already arranged bedroom, and Hagi Niang took a look, but she was afraid that this room could be regarded as a rare good room in the entire temple where the windows were tight and intact, and there was no damage to the point that it could not be used. The curtains and bedding are all brought by the Xie family, very clean and tidy, and the house is even incense, but it is so particular about staying out for a night, Hagi Niang can't help but slander the evil old society, it is really Zhong Mingding's food, too pampered.

After running around for a day today, and encountering such a thing again at night, Xie Yan was really tired, he sat down and tiredly ordered: "Just get some food, don't make it too complicated, it's serious to take it quickly, but I'm very hungry." ”

Mo'er glanced at her own Langjun's expression, and asked cautiously: "Master, the two sisters Wen Yu and Su He have settled down in the room next to them, ......what are the arrangements for tonight's night duty?" ”

Hagi Niang only remembered a question at this time, she is now Xie Yan's maidservant, she is a subordinate, she can't arrange a room for her alone, and she has a room with Xie Yan...... This is too reverie, and she needs to avoid suspicion.

So she hurriedly said to Mo'er: "Are my slaves and maids settled?" I'm going to live with Cui's mother. ”

Mo'er didn't dare to take her over without permission, but said, "It's all arranged." He looked into the eyes of his master.

Xie Yan turned a deaf ear to this, and ordered solemnly: "Let them all sleep in peace, there are people serving here." ”

Haginiang was about to resist, but Xie Yan gently pressed her mouth and said, "Don't you still have something to ask me?" ”

It was the matter of the housekeeper Yin just now, Haginiang held back her anger, and only said when Mo'er went down: "I think the housekeeper's behavior just now is very strange, and when people hear that there is an assassin, they will think that someone used a knife or some other close-quarters weapon to assassinate him, and the target of the attack is not sure." And that Steward Yin, as soon as he came in, went straight to your father, and asked Xie Xiang very accurately, 'Did he get an arrow?' If he wasn't a prophet of the future, how would he know that the assassin's attack was a cold arrow?" Even if we were on the sidelines, we couldn't confirm that the hidden weapon was indeed a short arrow so quickly, and he blurted it out. ”

Xie Yan frowned, and he pondered, "Maybe it's because there are people outside, it's impossible for an assassin to walk in without being discovered, or maybe it's just his speculation, it's not impossible." He seemed to be very unacceptable in his heart that Steward Yin would harm his father, and continued: "Steward Yin was a lonely boy that my father rescued when he was in Dongshan, when his parents died, in order to live a stable and peaceful life, he went to Jiangdong alone, and made a living as a street performer. He grew up watching my brother and me, and if he wanted to harm my father, there were countless opportunities, so why use any hidden arrows? ”

Hagi Niang couldn't figure it out for a while, she said: "Even so, people's hearts are fickle and the most unpredictable. Even if you don't want to suspect him, for your father's sake, I advise you to send someone to keep an eye on him to see if there is anything unusual about him. If it's just a misunderstanding, then everyone is naturally happy, and it will be laughed at, harmless, if there is really something wrong, it is right to take precautions as soon as possible. ”

Xie Yan nodded, looked at her with a smile, and praised her: "My Hagi Niang is really Lan Zhihui's heart, but it's late at night, why don't you hurry up and warm my bed for me?" ”

Haginiang glanced at him and said, "Please also ask Lang Jun to respect himself." ”

Xie Yan pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why don't I have self-respect?" Is it a serious errand for the slave to warm the bed for the master, Hagi Niang, where do you think of going? ”

This guy is very hateful.

At this time, Mo'er brought the food, although it was a "simple" food, but it was also full of a tray, a cold dish with sauce, a green onion fragrant cloud silk, a diced chicken and a piece of meat, a bowl of loofah soup, and even a dessert: stewed pear with red dates and white fungus. White fungus was a very valuable food at that time, and the non-public family couldn't afford to eat it at all, Hagi Niang hadn't eaten this thing since she crossed over, and she couldn't help but be very happy when she saw it, and said: "There is also white fungus here." ”

Xie Yan couldn't help laughing when she saw her eyes salivating at the dessert, so she instructed Mo'er to "go and serve another bowl", and asked Hagi Niang: "'White fungus'?" But do you mean this white 'snow fungus'? ”

It turns out that in ancient times, this was called snow fungus.

Hagi Niang coughed awkwardly and disguised: "I said it wrong." ”

Although the amount of small dishes is not much, it looks very delicate and delicious, and the smell makes people appetize.

Hagi Niang was not polite to Xie Yan, she picked up the white fungus soup and took a bite, it was soft and tender, it was many times better than the one in her previous life, she liked it very much, and she couldn't help but eat several bites in a row regardless of her manners.

The ancients had etiquette to follow, even if it was just a meal, there were many rules, especially in the minister's house, the same dish could not be eaten together according to etiquette, and it would look very undignified.

Although the Xie family does not pay special attention to these false etiquette, it is just that Xie An and Xie Yan are like this, and they often go out to drink and feast, and some etiquette and manners are already deep in the bone marrow, so they will naturally abide by them, and they will immediately have a sense of disobedience when they see other people's rudeness. Xie Yan saw that Haginiang was eating sweetly, but he didn't spoil her fun, and picked up the bowl and ate it himself.
