"Mother, I know what you said, but you really underestimated the third uncle." Xie Ru hurriedly explained, "The third uncle has been the prefect of Lingzhou for many years, and his political achievements are quite good, even His Majesty has praised it, didn't you listen to the third uncle himself, this time when he returned to Beijing, he will stay in the capital as an official." ”

Li Shi disagreed, and said with a smile: "What should I do, I see that you are in a hurry, my mother knows, the third master has an official position, so I didn't stay in the third room, they came back, and I specially arranged for someone to clean the yard for them to live." ”

Co-authored Li Shi thinks that she is really virtuous and kind, although she only does it to avoid being talked about.

Xie Ru's brain hurts directly, and it doesn't matter if Xie Qi doesn't open his mind, even his mother Li has such a temperament in her bones. Xie Ru suddenly felt that Xie Qi must have been carved out of the same mold as the Li family, not by appearance, but by heart.

In my bones, I feel that people are high and low, but I don't have a long brain, and I feel that lowly people will always be lowly and will always sink in the dust, while I am high and high, and I have a sense of superiority to laugh at thousands of storms.

"Mother, let me tell you the truth, although my father inherited the title of the Hou Mansion, but his political achievements were mediocre, and his Majesty did not want it, when I came back, my aunt repeatedly explained to me, the third uncle's ability is obvious to all, if the Hou Mansion is behind his back, he will definitely be able to do something, but he will become the help of our Xie family, so now is the time to send charcoal in the snow, mother, you must not neglect the third uncle and three aunts." Xie Ru said.

Li's face changed: "This is impossible, your father is the Hou Ye, the third master is just a concubine, at that time, his prefect was still begged by the old Hou Ye, what political achievements can he have." ”

The ability of the three rooms is stronger than the big house of the concubine? Li couldn't accept it in his heart. Not to mention, Xie Ru said that Xie Sanye's future actions are above Hou Ye.

"Ru'er, if this is the case, we should not let the third master stay in the capital, if his official position is higher than your father in the future, then this Hou Mansion will not become a three-room mansion, then how should we deal with ourselves, no, no, we must not let him stay in the capital." In the blink of an eye, many ways to drive Xie Sanye out of the capital had already appeared in Li's mind.

Xie Ru was bitter, she had hoped to give the bottom and make her words clear, so that her mother could wake up, but now it has the opposite effect, and the Li family actually wants to drive Xie Sanye out of the capital.

"Mother, you can't think so! You can't just look at the backyard of this Hou Mansion, you have to take a long-term view. Xie Ru hurriedly said that she had to persuade the Li family, otherwise if the Li family did something, it would be bad.

"I just have a long-term perspective, so I can't let the third master stay in the capital." Li also said quickly, "Ru'er, you must know that I am the head of the Hou Mansion right now, so the Hou Mansion does not respect us, if we let the third room trample us under our feet in the future, then we will be finished, and the small family of the Liu family will step on my head!" ”

The Liu family was born in a poor family, and the Li family naturally looked down on it, if the Liu family was called good in the future, the Li family couldn't help but tremble when he thought about it.

"Mother, I just said that the third uncle will make a difference in the court, not that this Zhongyong Marquis Mansion will become the third uncle's." Xie Ru only felt a little helpless, for the first time she felt that her mother was so short-sighted, and she only knew about the one acre and three points of land in the Hou Mansion.

"Mother, my aunt said that it won't be long before Her Majesty will ask Your Majesty to give me and Brother Yi a marriage, and then I will be Princess Yi, even the crown princess and the queen." Xie Ru looked around cautiously, lowered her voice and said, "Mother, if I become the queen, then my father will be the father-in-law, and you will be the emperor's mother-in-law, are you still afraid that someone will step on your head at that time?" ”

When Li Shi heard this, his expression was slightly softened, and he said with a smile: "If you really become the mother of a country, then your mother's life will be really worth it." ”

Seeing that the Li family finally eased up a little, Xie Ru continued: "If I want to take the throne, there must be someone behind me who can speak for me in the court, my father relies on the title to lead an idle errand, and I can't count on it, only the third uncle, he has the most hope of entering the core of the court, so now we have to win him over before the third uncle takes the throne."

Mother, the third uncle will become the most important chess piece of our Xie family, and what we have to do is to be at the helm. ”

The corners of Xie Ru's lips hooked slightly, what about hypocrisy, as long as you can get what you want, it will be worth everything.

Li looked at his daughter, and suddenly felt that she was so strange, and she had a bit of the charm of the palace concubine.

"Mother, I have said so much, do you understand?" Xie Ru looked at Li's expression, worried in his heart, and sighed lightly, "Mother, for the sake of our family, whether you understand it or not, you have to do as I say." ”

Xie Ru's tone was very tough, and Li had to nod dumbly......

Three rooms

In the past few days, the big house has been particularly attentive, not only arranging the house, but also equipped with corresponding maids, especially the Li family also sent people to send a lot of daughters' household things, most of which are expensive.

The third lady, Liu, has always had a bad impression of the Li family, and couldn't help but say to her husband: "Master, why is the eldest lady suddenly so good to us?" I've never seen her so generous in the past. ”

Liu Ke clearly remembers that in the past, when she first married into the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, the Li family took her sister-in-law's money, and taught her a lot of words, you are a concubine and daughter-in-law, don't really think of yourself as a master.

Xie Sanye didn't care, and said with a smile: "As the old lady said, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I have already been separated, and this time I came back just for a temporary stay, maybe my sister-in-law just treats us as guests, polite." ”

Is that really the case? Liu frowned, saying that she didn't believe it, women have their own unique feelings about things, and Li didn't necessarily treat guests so carefully.

"It would be nice if she really treated us as guests." The Liu family was worried that the Li family had other plans, if it weren't for the seventieth birthday of Old Madam Xie this time, she wouldn't want to come back here.

"Madam, it's been so many years, you also want to open up, don't always think of people so badly." Xie Sanye is a person with an upright temperament, he doesn't have so many eyes, and Mrs. Xie is so kind to him, so he feels that the Hou Mansion is harmonious.

Liu Shi disagreed, knowing her husband's character, and persuaded: "Master, you don't have any bad intentions, but you have to be careful." People say that the country is easy to change and difficult to change, so don't be easy to be pushed. ”

Xie Sanye is a good person, and the Liu family has to give a few words. Fortunately, the husband and wife have a good relationship, and Liu's advice, Xie Sanye also took it to heart, and when encountering major events, he still had to discuss with his wife and make an idea together.

"Don't worry, ma'am, I know." Xie Sanye didn't feel that his wife was verbose at all, and nodded again and again.

While the husband and wife were talking, Xie Ya was walking past the door, walking slightly, and Liu hurriedly stopped: "Ya'er, where are you going?" ”

Xie Ya turned her head to look, saluted her parents, and replied, "Father, mother, I want to go to my fifth sister to teach her embroidery." It's late today, I'm afraid that my fifth sister will wait for a long time, so I have to hurry over. ”

Xie Sanye smiled: "Ya'er, it's okay, you go slowly, your fifth sister won't blame you later." ”

Referring to Xie Qing, the Liu family remembered that the Lin family in the second room was a good-natured person, and said to Xie Ya: "Ya'er, I'll go with you." ”

He said to Third Master Xie again: "Master, I'll go to the second room to see the second sister-in-law." ”

"Go ahead, bring some gifts by the way, the second brother helped me a lot back then."

Liu nodded, "The concubine knows, don't worry, master." "Liu is a meticulous person, and he prepared the gifts in advance before he came back, whether he would use them or not, he was fully prepared in advance.

In the past few days, Xie Ya has been running to Qinglan Courtyard, and Liu asked, "Ya'er, what do you think of your fifth sister?" ”

When the Liu family left the mansion with Xie Sanye, Xie Qing was still in infancy, and he didn't know what kind of temperament Xie Qing was now, although the Lin family and Xie Erye's character was good, but the Liu family was cautious, and he would not be defenseless against Xie Qing because of this.

"The fifth sister is very good." Xie Ya said with a smile, "I teach my fifth sister embroidery, but my fifth sister doesn't seem to be good at female workers, and she has been pricked with needles a lot in the past few days, but she has not complained at all, and her temperament is very gentle." ”

Xie Ya remembered that when she was learning embroidery in the past, she almost cut the embroidery cloth, and it really hurt to be pricked by needles. However, Xie Qing was pricked by a needle, so he just shook his head and smiled, wiped off the bloodstains, and then continued to embroider.

Liu's brows furrowed slightly, is it really so gentle? She also came from when she was a girl, Rao is a person with a good temperament, she has no talent in female workers, and she is always pricked by needles, so I'm afraid she will be angry. If it is as Xie Ya said, Xie Qing is also a different person.

"Fifth sister, I'm here." Xie Ya walked in quickly. And the Liu family is looking at Xie Qing's boudoir, there are not many expensive ornaments in the room, but it is not simple, the green gauze tent, and a few foxtail lilies are inserted in the white jade vase on several cases, which are fragrant and refreshing. Best of all, there is a desk by the window, which seems to be used as a study.

"Third sister, the third aunt is also here, Xiaowan, serve tea." Xie Qing was generous, she was not surprised by Liu's arrival at all, let alone panicked.

Liu looked at Xie Qing without a trace. Dressed in ink-colored plain clothes, extremely plain clothes are worn on her, adding three points of book fragrance and three points of mysterious charm.

"Qing'er, the third aunt is disturbed."

"What did the third aunt say, it was originally Qing'er who went to visit the third aunt." Xie Qing smiled gently, so that Liu couldn't help but admire in her heart, her words and deeds can be called a model of everyone's beauty, generous and dignified.
