Chapter 82: Invitation
Xie Qingning's careful words made Xie Lingfeng hear hope, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed, and he suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "If Miss Seventh can cure my mother's illness, Xie Lingfeng will be your person from now on, no matter what you ask me to do, I will go to the soup and do nothing." ”
His attitude made Xie Qingning stunned for a long time before he reacted, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help each other, "You and I are both members of the Xie family, and we are related by blood, what is the difference between being so polite and a stranger?" I will definitely do my best to treat Aunt Wang's illness, and I still have some pills there to help her recuperate, even if she can't return to the appearance of a young man, at least she won't be too weak. ”
Xie Lingfeng looked at her with some surprise, as if she didn't expect that she really didn't ask for anything, could it be that what she said in the Zhuyuan guest room that day was just a temptation?
"Of course, you and I are both fallen people at the end of the world, and of course it would be best if we could support each other," Xie Qingning smiled, thinking of Xie Tan, who had not yet returned to Lanling City, and Chang Qingze, who was now starting to embark on the path of cultivation under the leadership of Xie Huazhao, these people were all her partners on the road from now on, and she was no longer fighting alone.
After returning to the bamboo garden, Xie Qingning called the Zheng and Yanyu to pass on the cultivation method she had learned to them, looking at the two excited and excited faces, she also had some joy in her heart that could not be concealed.
If she is destined to integrate into the mean and unsympathetic family of the Xie family, being able to find more partners in the clan to walk side by side is of course what she wants to do most urgently at the moment, and these people must be trustworthy and trusting, not stabbed in the back in front of relatives like Xie Hualing.
Xie Qingning hopes to be able to fully show their backs to them, so that they can deal with outsiders wholeheartedly, without having to spend their minds on solving internal problems.
Three days later, she quietly went out of Xie Mansion, found the house according to the title deed given by Liu Yingjie, and looked at the courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and the peach trees that had not yet bloomed in the courtyard, she could not hide her calmness.
This house is located in the "Zhuangyuan Lane", the surroundings are very quiet, although the neighbors live in the city, although they are not rich and noble families in the city, but they are also literati and talents, so they are very elegantly furnished.
Xie Qingning had a lot of good feelings when he saw this house for the first time, and when he walked through the alley to observe the three courtyards, he was even happier in his heart, only to feel that Liu Yingjie's vision was not ordinarily good, which really surprised her.
Because the displeasure that was given by the man had vanished, it was the first time that she felt that it felt so good to have money, at least she could do a lot of things she wanted to do.
Therefore, she took out part of the silver ticket and handed it to Chu Yi, asking him to help renovate this courtyard and transform it into a medicine hall and an alchemy room, which was arranged in advance for her to embark on the road of an alchemist in the future, and left three bedrooms in case she left Xie Mansion in the future, so that she would have a room to live in when she left Xie Mansion in the future, and she would not have to go to the ruined temple outside the city to survive.
After explaining all this, Xie Qingning stood in the bamboo courtyard, quietly looking at the bamboo forest outside the courtyard, and he had never felt so satisfied and happy in his heart.
In the past, when she lived in the valley, although she was also very happy, it could not be compared with the mood at this time, after all, all the circumstances she was under now were created step by step by relying on her own hands, and the sense of accomplishment was far stronger than that after she had the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage in her previous life, she returned to the Xie Mansion to serve as the head of the family.
Just when Xie Qingning's injuries were almost healed, she unexpectedly received an invitation, and that day happened to be her seventh birthday, the 22nd day of the second lunar month. She looked at the three gilded characters "Xie Zhonghuai" on the post, and couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
For this uncle, Xie Qingning was full of questions, since the other party was mainly invited, she had no reason not to see it.
Early that morning, she deliberately dressed simple and fresh, with a circle of white fox fleece lining the collar of her upright collar, which made her little face delicate and round, as white as snow.
When dressing up in the mirror, Bang Zheng couldn't help but sigh, "Miss has been raising her for so long, and she has finally gained some weight." ”
Xie Qingning looked at his slightly baby fat face in the mirror, smiled and did not speak.
The carriage of the fourth room was waiting outside the gate of Xie Mansion very early, Xie Qingning looked at the little man who was nodding his head, nodded lightly, and boarded the carriage with the zither and Yanyu.
is the same as the Xie family, the four-room mansion and the Xie Mansion are adjacent to each other but live separately, but when Xie Zhonghuai becomes the head of the house, his temperament is relatively soft and cowardly, and almost all major events are based on the opinions of the long house, and the existence of the four-room is gradually forgotten. In addition, he only has two daughters under his knees, and there has been no sign of taking concubines for many years, for Xie Zhonghuai, who has no heirs to inherit the family business, only by acting more low-key can he ensure that the property of the fourth house is not completely annexed.
As soon as the carriage stopped outside the four-room mansion, Xie Hualing greeted her, Xie Qingning did not object to her hospitality, but there would be no waves in his heart.
Under the leadership of Xie Hualing, she walked through the bluestone paved road, looking at the cherry blossom trees planted on both sides that had grown tender green branches and buds, and suddenly realized that the cold winter had passed, and spring was ...... It's finally here.
Since it was only a family banquet today, and the fourth room did not invite others, Xie Qingning saw Xie Zhonghuai and his wife standing in the middle of a bunch of maids-in-law from a distance, and Miss Xie Huatang was standing beside her mother, with a slightly sad face, showing that she was not welcome as an uninvited guest.
Xie Qingning blessed Xie Zhonghuai and his wife according to etiquette, and Luo, who was supposed to be her fourth aunt, hurriedly helped her up, smiling like a flower, "It's all my own family, where do you need to be so polite." ”
"It should." Xie Qingning smiled, turned his eyes to look at Xie Huatang, and pretended to be a first acquaintance and asked, "This should be the tenth sister Huatang, right?" I didn't bring any expensive gifts when I met for the first time, this phoenix hairpin is a batch of jewelry created by the Treasure Pavilion some time ago, I don't know if my sister likes it? ”
Xie Huatang raised his pointed chin, bit his thin lips lightly, and didn't want to pay much attention to her, but because the gaze of his parents at the same time was mixed with the element of compulsion, he could only reluctantly take it and thank her.
"The three of you should be the closest sisters, you should be so close, don't be separated because you don't grow up together." Luo was very satisfied with this result, and pulled Xie Qingning with his left hand and Xie Huatang with his right hand, but Xie Zhonghuai, the owner of the fourth room, didn't speak much from beginning to end, and his eyes looking at Xie Qingning were also very calm, and he couldn't see any emotion.
During the luncheon, except for Luo Shi and Xie Hualing occasionally speaking a few words with Xie Qingning, Xie Zhonghuai and Xie Huatang remained silent, and they didn't hear Xie Zhonghuai speak in a deep voice until the meal was over, "Qingning, you come with me." ”
Xie Qingning, who had just rinsed her mouth under the service of Yahuan, was stunned, and when she looked up, she only saw Xie Zhonghuai's back in a hurry, so she had no choice but to confess her guilt to Luo and trotted to follow.
