Chapter 207: Xiao Wall (3)
When she was not married, Xiao Liu once saw the gate of Xie Mansion from afar, and she had never set foot in this Wuyi Lane for many years. Jiankang City is not small, it is not big to say that it is big, it is not particularly open within the city wall, there are aristocratic families from all sides, the high families are living next to each other, it can be said that celebrities gather, there are great Confucianism in talking and laughing, and there is no white ding.
Mrs. Huan, as the concubine of the Liu family, although she is married to the head of the noble Huan family, Huan Xuan is also a concubine, so the two are considered to be a good match, and they are not married.
If there is no comparison, she will feel more satisfied, after all, it is very rare for a concubine to be the housewife. But back then, compared with Xie who leaned towards the government and the opposition, Huan Xuan's status was too much worse, and it was precisely because of this reason that the arrogant little Liu was unwilling to associate with his much older half-sister, and every time the big Liu invited her to come to the house as a guest, she politely declined.
Although her husband Jun Huan Xuan always thought that there was one more way to have more friendship, so he persuaded her to be friendly with Mrs. Xie, but she was resolutely rejected by the wayward Xiao Liu.
Now that Xie Xiang has passed away, everyone in Xie Mansion is guarding filial piety, and Xie Xuan and Xie Yan are not active in the court, so in the eyes of outsiders, Xie Fu is quite defeated. In this way, Xiao Liu's heart is slightly calmer, and he is finally willing to deign to visit his sister.
Although the two governments have a little nepotism, they have very little interaction, so when Xiao Liu got off in front of the door, the door of the Xie family looked at her in wonder for a while, neither knowing the family crest on her carriage, nor knowing this arrogant lady.
At this time, it was already nightfall, unless it was a close friend, it was rare to visit others at this time, because the Liu family had never entered the Xie Mansion, and no one knew her in the front yard. Therefore, the attendant in the front yard of the Xie Mansion said to her very politely: "It's getting late at this time, and Madame might as well come back tomorrow." ”
Xiao Liu came out in a hurry, and even forgot to bring a name post, so he could only say angrily: "If it wasn't for an urgent matter, how could I come to visit at night?" If you don't hurry up and spread the word to your wife, just say that her sister Huan Liu is here. ”
The serving little guy was shocked and hurriedly agreed, but he wondered in his heart, is it really fake? How come I have never seen this noble lady who claims to be the sister of the mistress?
Sure enough, after a while, a word came from the inner courtyard, ordering Mrs. Huan to be invited into Mrs. Huan's courtyard to meet.
That little guy secretly said that he was lucky, if it wasn't for the gorgeous clothes and decorations, he would have blasted her out a long time ago, who knew that she was really the sister of the master's mother, if she hadn't taken the right idea for a while, treated each other respectfully, she would inevitably be punished by the master's mother.
People often say that the door of the big family, the reason why the door of the big family is unattainable, is largely because the people rely on the power of the master to make a gesture, is a small doorman, but also the habit of stepping on the high and low, if it is a regular customer, it is naturally respectful, and if it is a strange face, but where a little bit of poverty or pray, it is inevitable not to be embarrassed by the door, and it is necessary to present gold, silver, bamboo and silk to report, such things have always been very normal.
Although Xie Fu is not so snobbish because of Xie An's lenient relationship, this conventional routine is something that Xie An can't control, let alone disdain, and now the master Xie Yan doesn't pay attention to these small actions of his subordinates, as long as he doesn't go too far, it's just that.
Xiao Liu naturally didn't bother to pay attention to the thoughts of these subordinates, she also came suddenly, and when she heard that her sister was willing to see her, her heart was relieved, so she hurriedly followed the maid of the big Liu family to the inner courtyard. Her clever maid Dong'er politely gave the servant a purse and rewarded, and thanked her with a smile, as the eldest maid of the housewife of Huan Mansion, it was really appropriate to act like this, and there was no rudeness.
"Sister." It stands to reason that the big Liu family is both a descendant and an eldest sister, she should have been more respectful, but she was awkward in her heart, and she was unwilling to give a big salute according to the rules of the elders and young, but it seemed that her status was humble.
Xie Yan's mother, Da Liu, also had a very awkward personality when she was young, but she lived with Xie An, who was the most old and serious, and her mood was invisible, for more than 20 years, which was slightly restrained, and outsiders seemed to be generous and generous, no longer so willful, at this time, when she saw her sister's style, she naturally understood her thoughts, and couldn't help but smile lightly, and said: "Sister doesn't have to be polite, our sisters haven't seen each other for many years, I don't know what my sister is looking for me?" If I can help, I will spare no effort. ”
Xiao Liu's heart was even more unhappy, and he forced a smile: "Sister said this, it seems that my sister is rude, does my sister think that my sister is visiting, just because I have something to ask for?" ”
Isn't it? Da Liu couldn't help but be surprised, just now her son's instructions came to mind, she immediately pressed her emotions, and smiled apologetically: "I'm really rude, it's just that I'm a sister who has invited you to come over to the house many times, but you haven't come, and now it's coming overnight, I will inevitably misunderstand, since my sister is just here to find me to gossip, it's better to live here with me, our sisters are talking at night, it's also a good thing." ”
She said this just politely, although the two are sisters, their friendship is far from reaching the level of being able to withstand a night talk.
Xiao Liu was disdainful in his heart, but when he thought of his husband, whose whereabouts were unknown, he could only cheer up and laugh with him: "My sister is too polite, it's just that I'm worried about the affairs of the court now, and I want to come and talk to my sister." I don't know if my sister has heard that the Queen Mother has been in good spirits recently? What is the movement in the court? ”
Seeing the suspicious look on Da Liu's face, she couldn't help but explain: "You also know that I don't leave the house, and Huan Lang rarely talks to me about these things, and I'm not like you and your nephews who are officials in the court, so naturally I have no way to know, so I can only worry in my heart." ”
Da Liu's look was a little clear at this time, and he comforted her: "Sister, don't think about it, these major affairs of the court are naturally handled by the adults, we are women, as long as we take care of our husbands and take care of family affairs, why worry in vain." ”
Xiao Liu is very depressed, she naturally doesn't care about the people's livelihood and the court dispute, but her husband always claims to be busy with official business and not at home, which is not the same thing, but how to say such a thing to her sister, it seems that it is easier to speak to her maids, and she doesn't know where to start in front of her graceful and luxurious sister.
Dong'er saw that the conversation between the two was about to be cold, so she hurriedly said: "Although Mrs. Xie is sympathetic to our wife's hard work, it's just that our wife is really worried about this matter and can't swallow it. ”
