，

When Old Madam Xie heard this, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and she nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I'll let your eldest brother fold to Your Majesty when you go back, you've been away from home for many years, and it's time to come back." ”

"Thank you, Mother." Xie Sanye's face was overjoyed.

The smile on Old Madam Xie's face became even stronger, she glanced at the children behind Xie Sanye, and said with a smile: "In the blink of an eye, your children are so old. ”

Xie Sanye remembered that he hadn't introduced his child yet, and hurriedly said, "Ya'er, Hao'er, come and say hello to grandmother." ”

Xie Ya and Xie Chenghao hurriedly knelt down and saluted Mrs. Xie: "I've seen my grandmother, my grandmother is blessed." "Xie Sanye only has a son and a daughter, both of whom are grandchildren, Xie Ya is the eldest daughter, fourteen years old this year, a few months older than Xie Qing, in the Hou Mansion, Xie Chenghao is the youngest son, seven years old.

"They're all good boys." Old Madam Xie nodded, and then ordered Xie Ru and the others to meet with the children of the third room.

Xie Ru is okay, the eldest daughter's bearing is still there, in the end, she is kind and pleasant, but Xie Qi has no good temperament, she only smiled reluctantly, the third uncle's child has a low status in her eyes, and her willingness to say hello to them is already giving them face.

It was Xie Qing's turn, Xie Qing smiled, "Third sister, third brother." "In terms of class ranking, the grandchildren of the Xie family only have three sons, and the big house has a son-in-law and a son-in-law, except for the Xie Chenghao in front of him, among the young masters, there are three.

Xie Chenghao is still young, except for Xie Qi's obvious dislike, he can't feel the others, but Xie Ya is already the governor, she knows that Xie Qing is more sincere than Xie Ru, and hurriedly returns the gift to Xie Qing: "Fifth sister is good." ”

"The sachet sent by the third sister is so exquisite, the embroidered flowers on it are really vivid, is it made by the third sister herself?" Xie Qing took the sachet given by Xie Ya and praised.

Xie Ya nodded, and said with a smile: "Fifth sister, it's good if you like it." ”

"I like it, this embroidery method seems to be different from what I use on weekdays, I don't know if the third sister can give me some advice." Xie Qing said.

Xie Ya didn't agree immediately, but first looked at her mother, the third lady Liu, until Liu nodded slightly, and then she responded: "Okay, they are all sisters, since you like the fifth sister, I will teach you." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Xie said with a smile: "When Miss Qing said this, I see that this embroidery method is a double-sided embroidery unique to Lingzhou." ”

"If you go back to your grandmother, it's double-sided embroidery." Xie Ya replied with a big fall.

"Double-sided embroidery is a test of embroidery, it's rare that you embroider so well, let's Xie Fu want to say female workers, you are second, I'm afraid that no one can rank first." Old Madam Xie's praise made Xie Ya blush.

She didn't expect Mrs. Xie to praise her like this, she had heard her mother Liu say that Mrs. Xie didn't want to see the third room, and when she arrived in the capital, she had to be very cautious in her words and deeds, so as not to be caught wrong, now it seems that Mrs. Xie is a very kind and kind person.

Xie Qing said with a smile: "Then Qing'er was cheeky and asked the third sister to teach me." ”

It's not an exclusive embroidery method, Xie Ya also readily agreed.

Xie Qing and Xie Ya talked and laughed from time to time, and the sisters were harmonious, but Xie Qi's face was not so friendly. After returning from Old Madam Xie's courtyard, Xie Ru immediately complained to Xie Ru: "Eldest sister, what are you pulling me to do, grandmother is about to praise Xie Ya to the sky, a daughter born to a concubine, and she has a long face!" ”

"Qi'er, you also said that Xie Ya is not her grandmother's own granddaughter, no matter how much you praise her, she can't go beyond you, why bother with it." Xie Ru persuaded. If Xie Qi really had a seizure in Mrs. Xie's yard, she would be the one who would be embarrassed in the end.

Li Shi also said: "Yes, Qi'er, your sister is right, you don't have to take that Xie Ya to heart, you are the girl who came out, and you can't lose your face." ”

The third room of the concubine, the Li family didn't look at it at all.

But the Li family echoed Xie Ru like this, Xie Qi felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, and only felt that he couldn't get out of his heart in one breath, and muttered: "Grandmother liked me and my eldest sister the most in the past, but now, first Xie Qing, and then Xie Ya." It's not that you haven't heard how your grandmother praised Xie Ya, what female worker is the first, obviously the eldest sister's female worker is the best. ”

Xie Qi's face was unconvinced, and a hint of discoloration flashed in Xie Ru's eyes, and he instantly returned to normal, and chuckled: "Qi'er, don't say that, the third sister's female worker is really good, I really can't embroider on both sides." ”

Li smiled instead, and said: "Qi'er, it turns out that you are upset for your eldest sister, Qi'er, Ru'er, you listen to your mother, it doesn't matter if the female worker is good or not, you are different from other young ladies, you are the girl from the Hou Mansion's Changfang, the most noble status, and you will definitely marry into the nobles of the Gaomen in the future, even the royal family, whether it is a female worker, a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is naturally good to be outstanding, but in the end this is just the icing on the cake, the most important thing is how to take care of the house, how to capture the heart of the husband." ”

Hearing this, Xie Ru and Xie Qi both lowered their heads shyly, Xie Qi was fine, especially Xie Ru, whose face was as red as a lantern.

"Mother, daughters are still young." Xie Ru said shyly, is it small? Of course it's not small, what Li said is right, she is the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, and she is also the appointed princess Yi, she is raised in front of her aunt Shufei Niangniang many times, just to learn how to become a qualified imperial concubine, or even a queen.

"That's it, mother, you said so now, and my daughter doesn't follow it." Xie Qi pinched the corners of his clothes and was coquettish.

It was rare for Li to see Xie Qi shy, so he covered his mouth and said with a smile: "You are not young anymore, this old lady's birthday banquet invited a lot of talents in Beijing, as well as the prince and prince, Qi'er, you just take a look, do you like it." ”

Xie Ru naturally didn't mention it, the Li family was very satisfied with the eldest daughter, she was going to marry King Yi in the future, but there was no need to worry, but the youngest daughter Xie Qi, her husband had to pick and choose.

"Mother......" Xie Qi buried his head shyly.

The corners of Xie Ru's lips hooked slightly, "Speaking of which, several sisters in the house are about the same age, even the fifth sister is fourteen years old, and they are all at the age of saying kiss, mother, you are the head of the house, I'm afraid you have to pay more attention." ”

In other words, the marriage of the Xie family's girl, the Li family, is a good idea. Needless to say, the girl in the big room has absolute power to handle it, and the second room is a widow of the Lin family, and it is naturally easy to handle it if she has no power or power, and the third room is just a concubine, and she has just arrived in the capital, and she is not familiar with the place, and it is not difficult for the Li family to handle it.

Li immediately understood what Xie Ru meant, and said with a smile: "Ru'er, when you say this, you remind me that I should mention it to the old lady, and the family affairs of this girl should be put on the agenda." ”

Xie Qi's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said with a dark smile: "Isn't that Xie Qing sharp-toothed, and the newcomer Xie Ya, who embroiders a good hand, but if you want to choose a good family for them, I think, their status is not high, and it is enough to marry a concubine or something." ”

Li and Xie Ru were stunned, Xie Qi said it bluntly, although they wanted to take care of the girl's family affairs, but it was not because of temporary unhappiness that they just found a bad family to marry them.

"Mother, eldest sister, what are you doing in a daze, am I not right?" Xie Qi didn't think so, raised his eyebrows and said, "Xie Qing is a little orphan girl, not to mention Xie Ya, a girl from a concubine, it's good to marry a concubine." ”

Xie Qi was triumphant, as if he had seen Xie Qing and Xie Ya's miserable lives in the future. She wants them to be under her forever, whether it is when they are in the boudoir or when they marry in the future.

"Qi'er, my mother will consider this, don't worry about it, you have a good rest now, and you will appear at the birthday banquet beautifully when the time comes."

Xie Qi was sure, and hurriedly touched his face, and then neatly returned to his room.

After sending Xie Qi away, Li sighed and said, "Ru'er, who do you say Qi'er marries?" Li didn't think it before, but today he was stunned when he heard Xie Qi's completely brainless words. If she doesn't change her temperament, if she marries someone in the future, I'm afraid she will either be neglected or abandoned.

Xie Ru frowned slightly: "Qi'er, she is indeed too unreasonable, even if she doesn't wait to see Xie Qing, she won't say anything like marrying Xie Qing to the concubine, Xie Ya is okay to say, Xie Qing is the girl from the second uncle, and the concubine marries the concubine, which hurts the face of our Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion." ”

Li said helplessly: "Qi'er is not more transparent than you, it is taboo for a concubine to marry a concubine, even if Xie Qing's father died early, but in the end she is still the concubine of the Hou Mansion, if she really marries a concubine, it will be too embarrassing, and the reputation of the Xie family girl will be affected at that time." Qi'er couldn't figure it out. ”

What is Xie Qi's approach called? Harming others is not good for oneself.

"Mother, you can't get used to Qi'er anymore, if you continue like this, it will not be good for her or you." Xie Ru persuaded, "And Xie Ya, Qi'er ignored people today, but the impression left by the fifth sister is good, I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart." ”

Li Shi was puzzled: "Qi'er's reaction to Xie Ya is normal, the third room is just a concubine, you can't be good with them, just get by with your face, it's hard to lower your body and beg them to fail." ”

There was no lack of contempt in Li's words, obviously, for the concubine of Sanfang, Li was just treated as a passerby, and being able to say hello to them with a pleasant face was already to promote them.

"Mother, don't think too simple about the third uncle." Xie Ru said hurriedly.

She finally understood how Xie Qi's self-respecting temperament was cultivated, and it was not cultivated by the Li family.

"Ru'er, I know that you are the eldest daughter, and you will also be the imperial concubine in the future, and you must be dignified and generous, but my mother told you that there are some people that you only need to deal with on the surface." Some of these people are obviously referring to Xie Sanye's family.
