Chapter 13 The Xia Family's Old Mansion
The next day, in the mood of the Wang family's joy, and Li Mama and others were surprised, Wang Xi rode a horse, accompanied Xia Yanqing in the carriage, and returned to the Xia family's old house.
Yes, they didn't go back to Xia Ke's house in Jishui Lane, but went back to the old mansion of the Xia family, that is, the Xia University Scholar's Mansion.
Xia Ke didn't care much about this arrangement, but Mrs. Jiang felt awkward. Originally, when her daughter returned to the door, she could talk to her mother in private, and she could ask her daughter how the Wang family treated her and how Wang Xi treated her.
But in the old mansion of the Xia family, there are so many people and many female dependents, and they are in the same room that they have been separated early, so there is really no chance to speak alone.
According to the rules, Wang Xi and the others entered the back house, made a big salute, and met with the elders such as Scholar Xia and Mrs. Lu.
Scholar Xia likes the talented Wang family brothers very much, and the two brothers of the Wang family, who are more than ten years apart, support each other, at least to ensure the wealth and prosperity of the Wang family for the next few decades.
Therefore, he arranged the location of Xia Yanqing's return to the old mansion to see the importance of it. When Wang Xi and his wife gave a big gift to the elders, Xia Bin and Xia Ke took Wang Xi to the outer courtyard to talk.
Xia Ke is the second in the Xia family, and the Xia family also has the eldest master Xia Chen and the third master Xia Lin, both of whom are Xia Bin's sons-in-law, although the two have children and grandchildren, they are still in the old house of the Xia family, accompanying Xia Bin and the old couple of Xia University, and living a family life of four generations in the same house.
Although Xia Bin was willing to promote the Wang brothers, it was too much. Therefore, Xia Chen and Xia Lin are not at home today.
But this is not the case in the backyard, where Mrs. Qiao, the eldest aunt of Xia Xiaoniang, and the third aunt, Sun Shi, are all present.
In addition, there are the fifth cousin Xia Yanrong of the eldest uncle, the third cousin Xia Haiqing of the third uncle's family, and the sixth cousin Xia Ruiqing.
On that day, it was these three sisters who depicted the splendid future for Xia Xiaoniang and took her to see Wang Xi.
The Xia family is different from the Wang family, Xia Yanqing is basically a stranger to the Wang family. Even if she behaves differently from the past, there is room for manoeuvre.
The Xia family is different, although Xia Xiaoniang has not been back for a long time, but since Xia Xiaoniang was found, she has been living in the various scrutiny and attention of the Xia family, and she is very familiar with her. If her performance is too different from before, I'm afraid it will attract suspicion.
Xia Yanqing tried hard to recall the memories of Xia Xiaoniang, and tried her best to shrink beside her mother, Mrs. Jiang, and avoid the eyes of various people to reduce her sense of existence.
But the people of the Xia family did not pay less attention to her because of her evasion.
Scholar Xia took Wang Xi's front foot out of the door, and Mrs. Qiao, the eldest aunt on the back foot, looked at Xia Yanqing and said with a smile: "It's still our Yan Qing's luck, we can come back before Xi Yu gets married, and sit firmly in the position of the wife, and have a good life in the future." ”
Mrs. Jiang has always been worried that with her daughter's experience, there is a lovely Aunt Xu in Wang Xi's room, and she will not have a good time in the position of Wang Xi's wife.
She also heard the schadenfreude from Mrs. Qiao's words. But considering her daughter's mood, she only smiled perfunctorily at Mrs. Qiao, held the hand of Xia Yanqing, who was sitting beside her, and didn't say anything.
Mrs. Qiao was indeed not Daohe's intention, she continued to laugh and said: "No one in the capital knows, Wang Shilang's future is limitless, and Xiyu is a complete weapon. Yan Qing is ready to be sought after and envied by the ladies of the capital. ”
She looked at Jiang's mother and daughter with a smile, even if the Wang family had that time, I was afraid that your daughter would not be able to support that scene. I could only watch the Xu family's female dove occupy the magpie's nest, and she could only shrink into a dark corner, but there was nothing she could do.
Mrs. Jiang glanced at her daughter who bowed her head and was silent, and her heart was angry. The sister-in-law has something to say, but she can't refute it, otherwise, wouldn't she not want her daughter to be well?
She tightened Xia Yanqing's hand tightly, and responded with a smile: "We don't want to be sought after, life is our own, as long as Yan Qing can live a simple and happy life, it is better than anything else." ”
This is what a mother who loves her daughter should think, Xia Yanqing heard this, and shook Mrs. Jiang's hand back. smiled slightly at the gentle eyes that Mrs. Jiang had seen.
Mrs. Jiang has been worried about her daughter's situation in the past few days, but this is the old mansion of the Xia family, and since her daughter and son-in-law entered the door, she has not had the opportunity to be alone with her daughter, and her heart has always been hanging.
At this time, I saw my daughter's quiet smile, and my heart was a little relieved. The daughter is cowardly and can't hide things, and if she is neglected in her husband's house, she will definitely not have such a smile.
Xia Yanqing's third aunt, Sun, saw the cowardly niece in the second room, and looked at the growth, now there are a lot of people in the room, and she actually knows how to appease the Jiang family with a smile, it's not simple.
She smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, this is not right, Yan Qing was born with a rich life, and the future will be good." The second sister-in-law is talking outside of her words, why do you push her daughter's good luck outward? ”
As she spoke, she lowered her head and stretched her sleeves, straightened the gorgeous embroidery, and said to herself: "Speaking of which, the second sister-in-law of this family affair has contributed a lot, and she really guarded this family for Yan Qing." Unlike my family Haiqing, I, as a mother, have no ability to plan for her, so I can only marry her to an ordinary family. ”
Xia Haiqing is Xia Lin's concubine, and when she heard Sun's words, her face only froze for a moment, and she immediately returned to normal.
Seeing that Jiang's face instantly became ugly, Sun sneered in his heart.
Originally, no one cared about Xia Ke and the Wang family's relatives, but in the past few years, Wang Tao's official fortunes have become more and more prosperous, and Wang Xi's homework is also outstanding, and Mrs. Qiao and the Sun family have been thinking about the second room.
Wang Tao's career is smooth, although his official position is not too high, but he is quite appreciated by the emperor, and Wang Xi is also a talent among young students. And Xia Yanqing has not heard from him for ten years, so this good family should be grasped well, and it can't be cheap.
If you can change this family business to your own daughter, in the future, if Wang Tao can really be a very popular minister, Wang Xi will be at the top of the list, and if you can end this family business, you can also help your own children.
Unexpectedly, they found an opportunity, and as soon as they said what they meant, Jiang Shi shed tears, looking like they were in pain, so that they couldn't say the next words.
The two who did not give up and Mrs. Lu mentioned it twice, but Jiang was silent every time, just sobbing and crying, out of breath, and grief. Once, I really fainted.
So, no one dared to mention this matter again, and in the end, it was over, and I saw that the Wang family had decided on an inconspicuous family affair.
The result? Jiang's daughter was recovered, Wang Xi was not cheap, and Xia Yanqing married into the Wang family as he wished.
However, only Xia Yanqing shrunk and stood beside Wang Xi, who was radiant and outstanding, as if he was specifically trying to embarrass Wang Xi and the Wang family.
Sun glanced at Xia Yanqing again. She didn't believe that with Xia Yanqing's humble and childish behavior, she would be able to live a smooth life!
I am afraid that the more powerful the Wang family is, the higher Wang Xi's official position, the more embarrassing Xia Yanqing's status will be, and the more he will be disliked.
Mrs. Lu, who was seated, only took the tea offered by the grandmother next to her with a kind face, sipped it slowly, and did not participate in their laughter.
Although Sun mentioned Xia Haiqing, she didn't react much, only bowed her head and said nothing. If the old mansion of the Xia family can find Wang Xi's family, it will definitely not be her turn. That is, I didn't find it at this time, and when my mother ridiculed the second room, I just used her, an innocuous concubine, to come out of the top tank.
Xia Yanrong and Xia Ruiqing glanced at each other, Xia Ruiqing smiled at Xia Yanqing and said Yan Yan: "Fourth sister, the fourth brother-in-law is knowledgeable and outstanding, he must be very affectionate with the fourth sister, right?" ”
They are all married, and even Xia Yanrong is still the second son of Qing Pinghou, which can be regarded as a good parent.
However, most of the children of the noble family rely on their grace to seek an idle position in the guards and guards, even if they do well, their future is limited, and there are really few who have a chance. And this rare rarity does not include the second son of Qingpinghou.
Her father, Charlene, is now forty years old and still has achieved nothing, as a daughter, where can she talk about good family affairs. can marry Qingpinghou's second son, and he also has the identity of a grandfather, and the family background of the Xia family.
If the second room could let out that marriage letter a few years ago, maybe she would be able to enter the Wang family, marry a real young talent, and really get a good background.
It's all the mother and daughter in the second room who don't think right, and the result is good, hurting others and themselves, right?
Xia Ruiqing thought of Wang Xi, in the future, this handsome fourth brother-in-law and his Aunt Xu would love each other, and Xia Yanqing could only shrink in the corner and live a miserable life...... Her smile at Xia Yanqing was even sweeter.
