Chapter 118: I'm not praising you
,
The third room of the Xie family is away all the year round, and there is no friendship with the second room, although Xie Ya is a junior, but she does not have the obligation to take care of the Lin family, these are all voluntary by her, how can Xie Qing not be grateful?
Xie Ya shook her head and sighed lightly, "You're done talking, I have nothing to say." ”
I could only accept Xie Qing's gift, and then I helped her up, patted the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "Fifth sister, the sisters in this house, you and I are the most connected, I heard my mother say that my father returned to Beijing to take up a post, and he will live in the capital in the future, I am not familiar with the capital, and I still need a lot of help from the fifth sister." ”
Xie Sanye's political achievements are good, although he is only a concubine, but in terms of ability, he is only afraid that he is a few points stronger than the Marquis of Zhongyong. Officials who are put to serve in other places, every few years, there are higher-level officials to evaluate their political performance, report to the imperial court, if they have outstanding political performance, they can also return to Beijing to serve, but this is always a process, it stands to reason that Xie Sanye's term of office has not yet arrived, and this time he came back just to celebrate Mrs. Xie's birthday, and he should not stay in Beijing so soon.
Xie Qing understood at the moment, thinking that this was what Concubine Xie Shufei meant. Although the Xie family is a hundred-year-old family, but the achievements of the loyal and brave marquis are not obvious, although it is not too secondary, but in the end, the ability is also a little weaker, if Xie Sanye can get a good errand, this is also a great help.
"The third sister also said that we are sisters, and it is also appropriate to help each other." Xie Qing smiled.
Xie Ya smiled: "Fifth sister, how did you feel about going to the palace this time?" I haven't been to the palace since I'm this old. ”
Between the sisters, they always talked about small things, and Xie Ya was very curious about what the palace looked like.
"The palace is the most prosperous place in Dayue, the third uncle will stay in Beijing in the future, and the third sister will have to participate in the palace banquet." Xie Qing counted the days, and said with a smile, "In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion day, according to the practice of previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival state banquet will be held in the palace, and you should have the opportunity to go at that time." ”
Although Xie Sanye is a concubine, he is currently staying in Beijing to serve, and his official position is not low, and Xie Ya is his concubine, so she will inevitably enter the palace.
Xie Ya scratched her head embarrassedly, "Fifth sister, but I heard that there are many rights and wrongs in the palace, and I am a little scared, if I really want to enter the palace to participate in any banquet, will I follow you?" ”
After speaking, he showed annoyance on his face again: "Oh, there hasn't been a banquet yet, what do I want to do so much?" ”
Xie Qingyan smiled and said, "Third sister, you, I think you are curious and worried, you will always come, don't think about it." ”
After all, Xie Ya is raised in the house of her daughter, and she is always curious about unknown things, but she is afraid.
……
Since Xie Qing has returned home, according to the rules, he should go to greet his elders, and he doesn't care about the big room over there, but Mrs. Xie is her grandmother, so she must go to say hello.
Xie Ya was stunned in her heart for this old lady, not to mention that Mrs. Xie was not her grandmother, so she didn't go with Xie Qing, and now that Xie Qing is back, and someone is taking care of the Lin family, Xie Qing asked Xie Ya to go home, and she went to ask Mrs. Xie for peace herself.
Old Madam Xie's yard
"Mama Wang, is Grandmother here? I'm here to say hello to my grandmother. Xie Qing asked Mama Wang.
"Yes, Fifth Miss, please wait a moment, let the slave maid go in first and say goodbye." Mama Wang changed her indifference from the past, and hurriedly replied with a smile.
Seeing Mama Wang walking away, Caixia was a little puzzled: "Mama Wang used to be fierce to people, why is she so enthusiastic today?" ”
Xiaowan went to grab the medicine, and Lingzhi had to take care of the Lin family, so he temporarily let Caixia serve by Xie Qing's side. Caixia is loyal and honest, and she doesn't know much about Xie Qing's affairs.
Xie Qing smiled faintly: "She is used to seeing the wind and the rudder, and now that I have been in the palace to accompany the concubine for a few days, she naturally wants to look at me differently." ”
You must know that in previous years, Xie Ru accompanied Concubine Xie Shu, which means that Concubine Xie Shu values Xie Ru, and now this person has become Xie Qing, and people like Mama Wang naturally dare not slack off.
Caixia was surprised: "Just because of Concubine Niangniang's words?" ”
"Concubine Shuniang is a concubine in the palace, and she has a prince, and the entire Xie family is probably the most important in her words." Xie Qing said with a smile.
There is no way, there are not many men in the Xie family who are promising, and the highest status is the female dependent of Concubine Xie Shu. The most important thing is that Mrs. Xie is like a mirror in her heart, and she naturally knows that if the Xie family wants to keep its glory and wealth, or even want to go to the next level, then let the Xie family have a queen mother.
in the room
"Old lady, Fifth Miss has come to greet you." Mama Wang said.
Old Mrs. Xie was leaning on the soft couch, and the three mothers and daughters of the Li family were sitting at her bottom.
"She's willing to come back." Xie Qi said in a strange manner. She has always been unbalanced in her heart for Concubine Xie Shu for summoning Xie Qing into the palace to accompany her. In previous years, Xie Ru entered the palace to accompany Concubine Xie Shu, although Xie Qi was not comfortable in her heart, but Xie Ru was the eldest daughter after all, and she was the sister of her mother, she just wanted to complain, and she could only mutter a few words in her heart.
But she didn't expect it to be Xie Qing this time. This made Xie Qi very unconvinced, Xie Qing is the daughter of the second room, and her identity is a lot worse than her, why should she!
"Qi'er, don't talk nonsense!" Xie Ru scolded in a low voice.
Old Madam Xie waved her hand: "Let her in." ”
After a while, Xie Qing walked in slowly and curtsied at Old Madam Xie: "Qing'er greets grandmother." ”
"Get up." Old Madam Xie didn't embarrass her.
Xie Qing thanked him. Standing up straight, he nodded to the Li family and daughters: "Big aunt, big sister." Second sister. ”
I don't know if it's Xie Ru's illusion, Xie Qing seems to bite the three words of big sister very hard.
"Qing'er, you're finally back, your mother is sick with everything you think." Li said.
Xie Qing's eyebrows raised slightly, the Li family is quite good at digging holes for people. If you are more serious about what she says, she will say that this is a joke, and the Lin family really misses her, which is not wrong. But if you don't take it seriously, then it will spread out, that is, Xie Qing's daughter is not filial, and she went to the palace to have a good time, and her mother didn't know how to come back when she was sick.
"Hey, it's all my unfilial piety as a daughter, I don't know that my mother is seriously ill, or thanks to the eldest sister who sent someone to inform me." Xie Qing burst into tears when he said this.
At the end, I didn't forget to thank Xie Ru: "Big sister, thank you!" ”
Thank you for poisoning my mother and leaving her sick in bed, almost getting sick! Xie Qing almost gritted his teeth and said it.
Xie Ru only felt that her heart jumped, Xie Qing couldn't have found something, she always felt that Xie Qing's tone of voice today was very strange, as if it was specifically aimed at her.
"The fifth sister is polite, I don't know if the second aunt is better now?" Xie Ru said softly.
Xie Qing raised his head and grinned at her, revealing his white teeth: "Hongfu, big sister, my mother will definitely recover." ”
How strange does this sound like, Xie Ru is not an elder, what kind of blessing do you entrust her.
"The fifth sister laughed, the second aunt must be in a good mood when she sees your daughter, and the disease will naturally be cured."
Xie Ru is also worthy of being the eldest lady of the Xie family, and her speech is also very artistic.
Xie Qing hooked her lips and smiled, "My mother is not in good health, unlike my eldest aunt. ”
Xie Ru's face suddenly changed slightly. If you want to say that her daughter left her mother's side, Xie Ru has been raised by Concubine Xie Shu for so many years, and she and her biological mother Li are getting together less and leaving more, so why don't you see Li suddenly become seriously ill.
"This ...... Fifth sister, don't make fun of my mother, no matter what my mother says, it's your elder's. Xie Ru said earnestly, the look of wanting to speak and stopping really made people feel that Xie Qing's words were too worthless, and even the elders of the Li family dared to take it as an example.
As soon as Xie Qi heard the introduction, he hurriedly jumped out, pointed at Xie Qing and scolded: "Xie Qing, you still want to call my mother a big aunt, how can you say that my mother is not?" You don't want to think about what you eat and wear on weekdays, which one is not my mother's silver, what do you call it? It's simply ungrateful! ”
This accusation can be called endless, and at the moment Xie Qing is said to be an unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial villain.
Yes, Xie Qi has actually grown.
If it weren't for the wrong timing, Xie Qing really wanted to applaud her.
However, how could Xie Qing allow Xie Qi to slander her, and said with a frown: "Second sister, when did I say that the eldest aunt was not?" Am I not exaggerating that my aunt is in good health? ”
Yes, she never said that Li was not from beginning to end.
"As for Shi Qing'er's food and clothing, isn't it all the money of the public school? How did it become the silver of the great aunt again? It won't be ......"
Xie Qing's face suddenly changed greatly, he looked at the Li family, and exclaimed: "Auntie, it can't be that our Hou Mansion is already unable to make ends meet, and we have to rely on your dowry to subsidize it!" ”
It is common for daughters-in-law who marry into her husband's family to use their own dowry to subsidize her husband's family, but this is not good to say, and the Li family may not really use his own dowry to subsidize it.
Before the Li family could speak, Old Madam Xie was the first to stand up and scold: "What nonsense! Our Hou Mansion has a good field and a prosperous shop, where do you need that dowry to subsidize! ”
If this is really said, the Xie family's face will also be lost.
Xie Qi was not convinced, and hurriedly complained: "Grandmother, you also heard, Qi'er didn't say that her mother used the dowry to subsidize the family, it was all nonsense from the fifth sister." ”
The implication is that even if Mrs. Xie scolds, she is also scolding Xie Qing, but not her Xie Qi.
Xie Qing lowered his eyes and was silent, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, who is the mouthful, isn't it clear to Old Madam Xie?
"Qi'er, you don't have to say a word!" Li Shi was accustomed to looking at Old Madam Xie's face, so he hurriedly grabbed Xie Qi and stopped her from continuing.
Li Shi was very emotional in his heart, I have to say that this youngest daughter Xie Qi is indeed inferior to the eldest daughter Xie Ru, and even she can't even compare to Xie Qing, so she will open her mouth and talk nonsense, not considering whether it is appropriate to say this at all, and whether others will be unhappy when they hear it.
