Chapter 269: Who Am I Yours?
Xie Yao coughed vigorously.
Xu was coughing so much that he felt a little fake, and hurriedly instructed Xie Mingyuan: "Pour tea for His Highness." ”
"Your Highness, drink tea." Xie Mingyuan got up and poured tea, and pushed the dim sum in front of Zhao Jinghuan with a weak heart, and said incoherently, "This dim sum was just made, I remember that you like to eat red bean paste, so let people put more red bean paste, the puff pastry on the outside is mixed with milk, crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, you can taste it, it's delicious." ”
Xie Ting came back to his senses and said, "I'm just asking." ”
"I can release Chen Shizi first, but General Xiao's case, you better not ask about it." Zhao Jinghuan put the dim sum that Xie Mingyuan put in front of him and pushed it out: "You are all people who have stumbled and crawled in the officialdom, you should understand that it is not good to know more about some things." ”
"Yes, we have overpassed, and I hope Your Highness will not be surprised." Xie Yao hurriedly got up and bowed, "Chen Shizi's affairs are His Royal Highness Lao." ”
Because of their son-in-law's affairs, their family has not had a good year.
If he didn't feel sorry for his daughter, he really couldn't be so cheeky.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your thoughtfulness." Xie Ting and Xie Mingyuan also got up one after another, especially Xie Ting, there was a look of smugness between his eyebrows and eyes, before he relied on the big house for everything, and relied on the eldest brother to deal with him, now that feng shui is turning, his eldest brother has finally been useful to his son-in-law, and from then on he can finally walk with his head held high in the mansion.
Besides, with such a son-in-law, he will have to pick and choose if he marries a stepfamily in the future.
No way, who made him the father-in-law of His Royal Highness King Jing!
The men's feast was held in the front yard.
Yan Yousheng was busy leaving Beijing to take up his post, and he hurried to the middle of the banquet, saying that he was late and was willing to punish himself for three glasses, Chen Hongwen's matter was solved, the atmosphere was extremely relaxed, and Zhao Jinghuan was approachable, without King Jing's shelf, the scene became closer and closer, and everyone unconsciously drank a few more glasses, and they talked very happily.
Xie Jinyue came earlier than Yan Yousheng, and after greeting Mrs. Gu and the Wei family, she went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to see Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu heard that Xie Jinyue was going to follow Yan Yousheng to leave Beijing to take up her post, she was very sad, hugged her daughter and cried.
"Auntie, don't be sad, my husband treats me very well." Xie Jinyue comforted Aunt Wu with red eyes, "Although my mother-in-law is a little arrogant and picks fault with me at every turn, my husband is always towards me, and I haven't suffered much grievances, not to mention that this time, my mother-in-law will stay in Beijing temporarily, don't follow us first, I will follow my husband, and I will be less angry." ”
Although Yan Yousheng is not good-looking, he is still good to her.
It's her mother-in-law who is obviously a villain, and she ridicules her at every turn for being just a concubine, and she doesn't have much dowry, and she is not as good as the matchmaker who proposed marriage to his son before, which makes her so angry.
But Yan Yousheng always persuaded her, saying that his father and mother had endured a lot of hardships in order to provide him with education, and now he finally came to the bitterness and let her bear more.
And she was a new wife and daughter-in-law, so she could only endure it.
"That's good, that's good." Aunt Wu was also relieved, "You have to remember to write back from time to time to report that you are safe, and your aunt will be relieved." ”
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and it wasn't until Mother Xue came to urge Xie Jinyue that she reluctantly left Aunt Wu and went to Shengning Hall for dinner.
Seeing that Xie Jinyue's eyes were red, Wei smiled and said: "Third girl, don't worry, you can rest assured to follow Lord Yan to take up her post, your aunt eats and drinks spicy food in the mansion, we won't treat her badly." ”
"Now that you are married, serving a good husband is the top priority." Old Madam Gu looked at Xie Jinyue, then at Xie Jinyi, and said, "If you have the ability to help your mother's family, if you don't have the ability to take care of your own small family, if you marry well, your grandmother will be relieved." ”
"Yes, thank you grandmother and mother for her teachings." Xie Jinyue smiled reluctantly.
"Third sister, eat this." He Qingwan changed the crystal balls she loved to eat in front of her, and greeted with a smile, "Have you missed the crystal balls in our house these days?" It's your favorite food. ”
"I want to, I dream of it." Xie Jinyue bit the crystal pill, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart, turned her head to look at Xie Jinyi, and said with a smile, "Fifth sister, don't take the unhappiness between our sisters before, don't take it to heart, it's all my sister's bad, you take care of it." ”
Although she has only been married for a month, she has been troubled by her mother-in-law.
Now that I think about it, it's better to be married before I get married, at least, I don't have to stand under the porch at every turn to make rules......
"The third sister is too worried, there is never a suspicion between our sisters, how can we take care of it?" Xie Jinyi, "It's also a good thing for the third sister to leave Beijing with the third brother-in-law, remember to write often when you have time, so as not to worry about us." ”
The quarrel between the little girls before, now it seems, is actually not a big deal.
It's all trifles.
"I am relieved to see that you sisters are in harmony." Old Madam Gu said with relief, "Fifth girl, no matter what bumps and bumps there were before, we are always a family, you have to carry your sisters, you are okay, they are also stained, they are okay, you are also at ease, aren't you?" ”
"Look at what my grandmother said, the fifth sister is not an official, how to promote the sisters." Without waiting for Xie Jinyi to speak, He Qingwan smiled and gave Old Madam Gu a dish, and continued, "As the saying goes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and each family has its own last resort, even if it is the fifth sister, you can't do what you want, right?" As the saying goes, the small rich rely on diligence and thrift, the big rich rely on luck, and it is not possible to blindly rely on others to carry them, not to mention, we have an old lady to sit for us, in the future, the sisters are naturally the life of the lady, everyone said, isn't it? ”
"Listen, I just said one sentence, and she has ten sentences waiting." Old Madam Gu smiled and patted He Qingwan's hand, "Then accept your auspicious words, let them all be Mrs. Fate, you, who are sisters-in-law, can follow suit." ”
Everyone laughed.
Xie Jinyi smiled but said nothing.
She felt that it was good for the family to get together and talk about family affairs or something, and it was really unpleasant to say these things at every turn, even if Mrs. Gu didn't say it, but whenever the sisters had something, she didn't care, Chen Hongwen's matter, although she didn't ask Zhao Jinghuan, but Yong'an Hou Xu Pei has been taking care of Chen Hongwen and didn't let him be wronged, she felt that she did her best.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Gu originally used people to face forward, not to face backwards, why should she care about the words of a grandmother who didn't love her, what she said was.
Xie Jinru sat on the side, twisting her handkerchief, very depressed, they married one by one, leaving her alone to be an old girl, this is too unfair, what to say Mrs. Fate, her family affairs have not been skimmed!
Before, Xie Ting did Zhang Luo's family affairs for her.
But Xie Ting's vision was too high, and he wanted to tell her to the second son of the Ministry of Industry as his wife, which caused her to be laughed at by the people in the capital, saying that the toad wanted to eat swan meat, and now, there was not even a door-to-door proposal.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
Seeing Old Madam Gu and the stars of the Wei family pulling Xie Jinyi like the moon to ask long and short questions, she felt more and more uncomfortable in her heart, and hurriedly ate a few bites, then put down her chopsticks and went back to Qiulan Courtyard silently.
"Why did you come back so soon?" Aunt Qian was very surprised, "Your fifth sister is gone?" ”
Xie Jinru sat silently on the edge of the bed and shook his head: "No, it's still in Shengning Hall." ”
"Then why don't you get close to her and let her invite you to Jingwang's Mansion as a guest?" Aunt Qian said angrily, "You, you, you know all day long to be petty, and you don't rely on the ready-made big tree, who do you want to rely on?" ”
"The fifth sister has always been above the top, what do I ask her to do?" Xie Jinru said indignantly, "It's also filial piety, why can she marry in a beautiful way, but I can't, I'm the eldest daughter of the second room!" ”
When my father wanted to divorce his wife, the fifth sister stopped her, although it was to prevent Xiao Qin's family from entering the door, but she still suffered her.
Three years later, she will become an old girl.
"I said four girls, who are you awkward to show you!" Aunt Qian hates iron and steel, "As the saying goes, people are under the eaves, you have to bow your head, you are the eldest daughter of the second room, but you are a concubine after all, different from your fifth sister, your fifth sister is a concubine after all, although she married King Jing is Gao Pan, but after all, people are married, if you want to marry well, you are afraid that your father is not good, you have to deal with your fifth sister, now she is the best married, and the people who come and go on weekdays are also high-ranking families, if she takes you as a sister, she will definitely help you marry a good family." ”
Xie Jinru twisted his handkerchief and bowed his head silently.
Aunt Qian rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find a stack of handkerchiefs, packed them in a wooden box, and stuffed them to Xie Jinru: "Your fifth sister married into the high gate, I am afraid that ordinary things are not looked down on, and we don't have other good things, only these handkerchiefs are carefully embroidered by my aunt, and she comes back, even if we have a little heart." ”
Xie Jinru took it sullenly.
"Fourth girl, you and the fifth girl are sisters after all, if you are not close to her, who are you close to?" Aunt Qian saw that she was very reluctant, and continued to persuade, "Aunt Qian didn't expect her to marry so well before, and I didn't think of this for you. ”
"I see." Xie Jinru returned to Shengning Hall with the wooden box.
"Where did the fourth sister go? What about your grandmother just now? He Qingwan asked with a smile, the corners of Xie Jinru's mouth tugged, she squeezed out a smile, and handed the wooden box to Xie Jinyi: "Just now I went back to get the handkerchief to the fifth sister, and the aunt said that the fifth sister went back to her parents' house for the first time, and there were no other good things, let me give these to the fifth sister, talk about my heart, and hope that the fifth sister will not dislike it." ”
"Thank you, auntie, for me." Xie Jinyi took the box, opened it and looked at it, and praised, "Auntie's embroidery is really good, I like these handkerchiefs very much." ”
"It's good if the fifth sister likes it." Xie Jinru Waner.
Old Madam Gu looked at it from a distance, and coughed lightly: "In the future, this title will have to be changed, the sisters and sisters at home listen to it kindly, and they all have to be honored Princess Jing outside, and greet them according to etiquette, so as not to lose their manners, so as not to make people laugh at our family." ”
"Yes, the courtiers have seen Princess Jing." He Qingwan gave a serious gift, Xie Jinyi helped her up with a smile, and said to Old Madam Gu: "Grandmother's words are serious, it's just a title, there is no need to be so formal." ”
"How's that going to work?" Old Madam Gu said, "A gentleman is a gentleman, a minister is a minister, if you mess up your dignity, it will not be good to be talked about." ”
"Mother is right." Wei said with a smile on his face, "Princess Jing is Princess Jing, and when we meet in the future, we should abide by the etiquette." ”
"Old lady, Aunt Yang is here, saying that she wants to see the fifth girl, no, she wants to see Princess Jing." Mother Xue lifted the curtain and walked in, and Mrs. Gu's face sank: "She can't be raised in the house, what are you doing?" ”
"I'll take a look." Xie Jinyi just wanted to go out to breathe.
"The fifth girl is back." Aunt Yang held her big belly and cried with joy, "The slave family is looking forward to the girl's return day and night." ”
"It's Princess Jing." Mother Xue reminded coldly.
Aunt Yang hurriedly changed her words: "The slave maid has seen Princess Jing. ”
"You go down, I want to say a few words to Aunt Yang." Xie Jinyi is most disgusted with people like Mother Xue, who is two-faced and three-stabbed, which is really annoying.
Mother Xue had to go back to the house stupidly.
"How does Auntie feel?" Saying that, Xie Jinyi had already put her hand on her pulse, and Aunt Yang whispered: "Recently, I always feel pain in my lower abdomen, but I haven't seen red, and the slave doesn't dare to say anything, so I look forward to the girl's return." ”
"It's been these two days." Xie Jinyi groaned, "In this way, today I will ask my father to invite your mother and Wen Po to come and stay, so as not to mess up at that time." ”
"Okay, the slave family listens to the girl's arrangement." Aunt Yang nodded again and again, "The old lady is very good to the slave family, she said, wait until she sees Hong and then go to ask Wen Po, and the slave family is not easy to say." ”
"Instead of rushing around, it's better to come and wait early, I estimate that it will be these two days." Xie Jinyi immediately called Ziyu and instructed her to invite Xie Ting, Xie Ting was so drunk that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he said with a snort of wine: "Fifth girl, no, no, no, Princess Jing, wait for a few days to add Ding to the house, and please Princess Jing must come back to congratulate her......"
Xie Jinyi was speechless.
She also instructed Ziyu to go to Liu Yuan's house to invite Aunt Yang's mother and the stable woman she had found in advance, not that she couldn't trust Mrs. Gu and the Wei family, but that Aunt Yang was indeed about to give birth, and she was about to get the good news tomorrow morning at the latest.
Zhao Jinghuan obviously drank too much.
As soon as he got into the carriage, Xie Jinyi smelled a smell of wine, frowned, and said, "Why does Your Highness drink so much?" ”
"Your family is so enthusiastic, how can I be disappointed?" Zhao Jinghuan leaned on the soft collapse, propped up his arms and closed his eyes and said, "Actually, I didn't drink much, the wine is not drunk, everyone is just drunk." ”
"Your Highness, if my father says something that you don't like, don't take it seriously." Xie Jinyi lowered his eyes and said, "Chen Shizi's matter, I will not embarrass His Highness." ”
With her understanding of Xie Ting, Xie Ting would definitely mention Chen Hongwen's matter.
When Zhao Jinghuan heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at Xie Jinyi, and said meaningfully: "I hope you will embarrass me, but you would rather go to Yong'an Hou than talk to me, so in your eyes, who am I to you?" ”
