Chapter 24: Eldest Sister Xie Ru
What Li didn't know was that in Xie Qi's eyes at this moment, Xie Ru's existence was even more dazzling than Xie Qing's.
"I'll leave this matter to you, you have a little more in mind." Old Madam Xie felt that this was just a trivial matter, not a big deal, and the real big thing was Yunjin.
"Yun Shizi came to visit today, what do you think?" Old Madam Xie said thoughtfully.
Li Shi thought for a while, hesitated and said, "Is Yun Shizi interested in the five girls?" "It's no wonder that the Li family has such an idea, in the eyes of the family, marriage is the best way to form an alliance.
And Yun Jin came to the door today, and the reason he used was to send Xie Qing back and pay a visit, but he just said hello and left, it looked like he was here for Le Xie Qing.
The Buddha beads in Mrs. Xie's hand turned faster: "Let go of the Caixia in the room of the Qing girl, you tell Qi'er, don't mention what happened in the Protector's Mansion yesterday." ”
Li's heart skipped a slight beat, she almost forgot, Xie Qi came back and told him what happened in the Protector's Mansion, and instigated the old lady to beat Caixia's girl and lock her in the firewood room, but fortunately, she was just a maid, and she didn't do anything to Lin.
"Old lady, do you want to marry Qing'er to Yun Shizi?" Li asked tentatively.
Old Madam Xie didn't speak, and Li continued: "This is not appropriate, the identity of the fifth girl is not worthy of Yun Shizi. "In fact, what the Li family really wants to say is that if Xie Qing becomes the princess, she will be the princess of Zhennan in the future. King Zhennan is a super prince, in other words, the position of the princess is also above the other princesses. Unless Xie Ru and Xie Qi marry the emperor and become imperial concubines, and their status cannot be lower than that of the noble concubine, their status is lower than that of Xie Qing. A person who has always looked down on him has a more noble status than himself, how can this make people feel at ease, Li is difficult to calm down.
"Isn't that why you want Ru'er or Qi'er to marry?" Old Madam Xie glanced at her daughter-in-law.
For so many years, how did the Li family treat Xie Qing and the Lin family, Mrs. Xie knew that it was just that the pillar of the second room was dead, and she would turn a blind eye, as long as Xie Qing lived well, she didn't care, the last time Xie Qing fell into the water Xie Qing almost died, and Mrs. Xie realized that her indulgence for so many years had made Xie Qi a little too much.
Old Madam Xie knew what the Li family was thinking, this shallow eyelid, Xie Qing's marriage to Yunjin was only good for the Xie family, so why not do it.
Li Shi had nothing to say on the spot, and asked her daughter to marry a sick seedling and be widowed for the rest of her life, how could she be willing.
Thinking about it this way, Li's heart is balanced, no matter how well Xie Qing marries, it will not be a happy thing to be widowed in the future.
"It's the daughter-in-law who wants to go wrong, mother." Li hurriedly confessed to Mrs. Xie.
Old Madam Xie didn't really blame her, and nodded: "You are the master mother of the Hou Mansion, you have to take a longer view, with the lady concubine in the palace, our Xie family's days will be long." Qing'er is also the daughter of the Xie family in the end, she looks good, and she can't stay in the house for a few years, you eat and drink well and treat her, and she can help the heir in the future. ”
Xie Chengsi is the eldest son of the long house, and she is also the most proud child of the Li family, she gave birth to a total of two daughters and a son, and this eldest son Xie Chengsi is what she values the most.
Li nodded again and again: "Don't worry, the old lady, the daughter-in-law must restrain her subordinates well, but she can't treat her younger siblings and Qing'er lightly." "It's just a matter of two more pairs of chopsticks, and Li's measurement is still there.
concubine
Xie Qing came back safely, and Lin's heart finally let go, but when she said that Caixia's maid, who was beaten and had a spanked ass, could only lie on the bed now, Lin couldn't help wiping her tears.
"It's useless to say that it's all mother, and you can't even protect a little maid in your room." The Lin family only felt ashamed, Caixia was the only big girl Xie Qing served, among the nobles, there must be at least two big maids around the young lady, four second-class maids, and a few rough maids, but the second room is poor, and it is good to have a big maid and a few rough maids to serve.
"Mother, it's none of your business, don't worry, Qing'er will protect you." Xie Qing smiled at the Lin family and said, "They injured my maids, I just went to pick a few and make up for all the maids in our room." ”
Lin was stunned: "Your eldest aunt is afraid that she will say that the house will save money, so she won't give us extra maids." ”
"How can this be considered redundant?" Xie Qing comforted the Lin family, "Mother, don't worry, the eldest aunt will agree." ”
With Yunjin's visit today, Old Madam Xie will have a different opinion of herself, and the Li family will definitely not dare to do too much. Xie Qing became more and more grateful to Yunjin in his heart, and he came to visit, in fact, to give himself face.
For Yun Jin's sake, Old Madam Xie will not ignore her anymore. Xie Qing couldn't help but think, why did she owe Yun Jin favors all along. Now she believes more and more that what Yun Jin said is true, he took the gold medal to save his father, although he failed in the end, but in the end he tried his best, she Xie Qing remembered, and she will always remember it.
What could she do for him?
……
Sure enough, as soon as Xie Qing proposed to add a few maids, Li agreed with one mouthful, and the next day, Ya Po brought the maids here.
Xie Qing picked a little maid at a glance, and then picked a few rough maids.
Back in the room, Xie Qing asked the little maid, "What's your name?" ”
"Feng Bo named the slave maid Xiaowan."
Xie Qing nodded: "Okay, Xiaowan, since it was taken by Feng Bo, then you will still be called this in the future." What will you do? ”
Xiaowan smiled: "The slave and maid know martial arts, and Feng Bo said that the slave and maid should protect the young lady well." ”
"From then on, my life will be in Xiaowan's hands." Xie Qing said with a smile.
Xiaowan frowned slightly: "It's a little difficult, but Xiaowan is fighting for this life, and he will protect Miss." ”
This cute little girl, Xie Qing smiled lightly: "Xiaowan, don't worry, I will protect myself, it may be very dangerous to follow me in the future, you remember that if I am in danger one day, you can't beat me, at this time, you must leave me alone, run." ”
Xiao Wan hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, how can this be, how can Xiao Wan leave Miss, Xiao Wan can protect Miss with his life." ”
"Silly little bend, you still can't beat if you stay, you will only die in vain, it's better for you to run out quickly and find someone to save me."
Xie Qing does not approve of Yuzhong, if he insists on staying, he will only die, and both lives are lost there, which is not worth it. She's a person who crawls out of hell, even if it's another hell.
Xiaowan thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Xiaowan understands, Miss Qing can rest assured, from today onwards, Xiaowan will practice light skills every day, and strive to make himself run faster." ”
The corners of Xie Qing's mouth twitched, she was really a sincere girl, but there was nothing wrong with understanding it this way.
"Okay."
Xie Qingwan smiled, and as he was talking, he heard someone report that the eldest lady was coming. Xie Ru, the eldest lady of the Xie family, is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter. This is an acquaintance, Li Yunqing and Xie Ru met, Concubine Shu often took her with her, and her words and deeds were raised according to the specifications of the princess. But Xie Ru is a person, Li Yunqing can't say that he likes or dislikes, but now it's different, no matter how he says it, he has the name of a sister, and the enemy of the enemy may be a friend.
"Fifth sister, how are these days?" Xie Ru greeted with a smile.
Xie Qing smiled lightly: "Sister Lao is worried, everything is fine with me, isn't the eldest sister accompanying Concubine Shu in the palace?" Why did you come back today? ”
Xie Ru was announced into the palace by Concubine Shu from time to time to accompany her, nominally because Concubine Shu missed her family, but the concubines in the palace could not see their ministers at any time, even if they were female dependents, so Concubine Shu simply begged Emperor Yongning to raise Xie Ru as half a daughter by her side, and the emperor agreed to favor Concubine Shu, and this grace was still the first in the harem.
Everyone can see that Xie Ru is the daughter-in-law chosen by Concubine Shu, and she will marry Zhao Tianyi in the future. Therefore, Xie Ru, the eldest daughter of the loyal and brave marquis's mansion, has a very high position in the mansion, and no one can underestimate it.
"My aunt said that my grandmother's birthday banquet is coming soon, and of course my granddaughter will come back early to help organize the birthday banquet." Xie Ru spoke unhurriedly, but Xie Qing still heard the faint arrogance in his tone.
Xie Ru is close to Concubine Shu, and she is valued by Mrs. Xie, and she has arrogant qualifications. Xie Qing frowned slightly, Xie Ru really didn't need to show off in front of her, because she didn't intend to please Old Madam Xie.
Still running a birthday party? Xie Ru's words are over, when her mother, the Li family, does not exist? Even if Concubine Shu took a fancy to her, it was not so important that if she was gone, the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion would not be transferred.
However, Xie Qing doesn't care about her, as long as there is no conflict of interest, she doesn't care how Xie Ru wants to show off.
"Is there something wrong with my big sister coming to me?"
Xie Ru was a little embarrassed on his face, then smiled and said, "My aunt asked me to bring two ginseng sticks for you to replenish your body, I have heard about everything, it is all Qi'er's willful nonsense, fifth sister, don't take it to heart, in the end, it is my own sister." ”
Xie Qing replied with a smile: "Thank you, Concubine Shu, Sister Lao has made a trip." Xie Qing didn't take it to heart, big sister, please rest assured. ”
Xie Qi owes her all the money she owes her one by one, and now Xie Qing will never wronged herself. If Xie Qi doesn't provoke her again in the future, she won't bring up the old matter again.
Xie Ru nodded: "It's good that the fifth sister thinks like this, I heard that the fifth sister and Miss Yun are very good?" ”
This is the point, Xie Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where did the big sister hear about it?" How did I not know? "Only a long-tongued woman listens to this and that every day, and then comes to a bunch of nonsense conclusions.
"The fifth sister went to the Huguo Mansion to enjoy the flowers, but she didn't come back directly that day, and followed Yun Shizi and Miss Yun to the Zhennan Palace, such a big thing, even my aunt knew about it." It means that you actually have a relationship with Concubine De's in-laws, Zhennan Wangfu, and Concubine Shu is a little dirty.
