Chapter 41: The Ethnography Debate 10 (Reflections)
Seeing these before, Xie Yuanniang didn't think much and didn't care, but after discovering that her mother really hurt her sister today, the taste in her heart was different when she saw this.
"I was just telling my cousin that you are the most impatient to look at these flowers, but now I see that I am wrong, and my eyes are straight when I see you." A laughing voice came from the side, Xie Yuanniang looked sideways, and saw her sister and a delicate girl with a cold face standing under the eaves.
Xie Wenhui's red jacket is extremely eye-catching, and the girl put on a thin spring shirt early, pink and delicate with the girl's delicate figure, a small flower in the south of the Yangtze River. The only regret is that the girl's appearance is not outstanding, and her facial features are not memorable, but the cold momentum makes the whole person bright, and she has a good posture.
"Sister, cousin." Xie Yuanniang greeted with a smile, and then stepped forward slowly.
Sister Yan's expression was cold, and she only blessed her body slightly when she greeted her in return, but she didn't speak, but a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Xie Er went to Kong's house when he was a child, and he spoiled Xie Er a lot at home, for the only daughter in the family, Sister Yan, she couldn't get used to it, and the two of them were even more needle-pointed, even if she didn't speak, the two didn't get along.
This time, she thought that Xie Er would laugh at her as before, and then say something ugly, and when she was silent, she would definitely jump up and quarrel with her, she was ready to keep silent and keep her mouth shut, but she unexpectedly found that Xie Er was not noisy, and he could greet her with such a kind attitude, how could she not be strange in her heart.
Xie Yuanniang saw Sister Yan's doubts, and remained silent, "What are my sister and cousin talking about?" ”
But she squeaked and didn't ask Sister Yan what the reason for those doubts.
Sister Yan looked at Xie Er, only felt that she didn't know her, and Xie Wenhui was also strange in her heart, but she immediately figured it out again, thinking that her mother asked Xie Yuanniang to ask her fourth cousin for a post, and Xie Yuanniang tore her face without meeting Sister Yan.
"Cousin just put things away, and while we're talking, you're coming." Xie Wenhui explained, and then led the three of them into the second room, and only after sitting down did he smile, "It's you, we waited here for a long time before you came over, fortunately, Sister Yan is not an outsider, and if you change it to someone else, don't you want to find fault with someone else?" ”
"The fourth cousin sent something over, and I talked for a while, and it happened that he went to the front yard to see his father, and the people in my sister's yard also sent someone to deliver the message." Xie Yuanniang's absent-minded fingers circled the edge of the teacup.
With her listless appearance, Xie Wenhui only felt that a hand was grabbing her heart, and she was a little tickled, "Fourth cousin loves you the most, and every time I come, I will go into your yard." ”
Even though Xie Wenhui has lived two lives, thinking of his aunt's partiality for Xie Yuanniang, he can't help but have a sour taste in his tone.
Xie Yuanniang, who had been lowering her eyes, immediately caught this, surprised and surprised, it turned out that her sister, who had always been dignified and gentle, would be jealous?
For a moment, there was a wry smile on the corner of his lips, and in this life, he could see clearly that his mother really hurt his sister, so there was no fuss when he saw the unknown side of his sister at this time.
Xie Yuanniang smiled bitterly, laughing at her stupidity, she has lived two lifetimes, how big her heart is, these things are only now visible.
"Why didn't Yuan Niang speak?" There was a sudden silence in the second room, Xie Wenhui also felt a little weird, in the past, as long as she saw Sister Yan, Xie Yuanniang was pressing Sister Yan, as long as Xie Yuanniang was there, the brilliance would be taken away by her, but now she suddenly talked less, and she stopped arguing, Xie Yuanniang's heart was not steady.
This feeling is going to leave your hand, so that you can't hold her anymore.
"What does my sister want to hear me say? It's rare for my cousin to come over, so let's talk to my cousin more. Xie Yuanniang is not the scheming straw bag in the previous life, her mood comes and goes quickly, and when she looks up at people, her eyes are like bright stars, "This clan debate, I don't know who the Kong family has arranged to fight?" ”
"When I was at home, my grandfather told me that I was one on the woman's side, and the other two places wanted the eldest cousin and the second cousin to be one of them, and the other was the eldest sister of the third cousin of the uncle's family in the clan. As for the man's side, the fourth brother picked two people from the clan to come forward. When it came to business, Sister Yan spoke, her voice and her coldness were full of coldness, "The eldest cousin and the second cousin are naturally good in my eyes, but if the Kong clan doesn't come out alone, it's not easy to explain to the clan." When I came, my grandmother also asked me to explain to my aunt well, and I just saw that my aunt was in a hurry and didn't have time to talk about it in a hurry. ”
Sister Yan glanced at Xie Wenhui helplessly, but the corner of her eyes looked at Xie Er with concern, Xie Er didn't jump like thunder before, and he couldn't hold his breath anymore at this time, right?
She didn't believe that Xie Er had really changed.
As a result, after waiting for a while, seeing that Xie Er just nodded, let out a faint sigh, and then it was over, without saying a word.
Sister Yan had a rare flash of astonishment on her face.
Xie Wenhui remembered the matter of the sub-clan debate in her previous life, her father was demoted, and she was inferior to Xie Yuanniang in terms of literary talent.
Now that she has been reborn, with the experience of her previous life, and the ability to predict the topic of the debate in advance, Xie Wenhui naturally has the confidence to shine, so the number of participants in the debate can only be her.
These thoughts were just for a moment, Xie Wenhui stirred the handkerchief in his hand, and said lightly, "Yuan Niang has always been brilliant in poetry, if there is only one place, let Yuan Niang and her cousin participate together." ”
Xie Yuanniang was silent.
Sister Yan said, "I don't object to the eldest cousin saying this, but the topics of the clan debate are different every year, and they are not only for poetry, I heard the fourth brother say that there was a year when there was an embroidery topic, and the second cousin usually only studied poetry, in case something else, it would be ......"
She didn't say anything in the end, and the three of them understood what she meant.
Sister Yan has always been the kind of orthodox lady, and she is literate, and she speaks directly, and she will not hide it, she said this, not against Xie Yuanniang.
"Maybe I'm writing poetry this year." Xie Wenhui was waiting for Sister Yan's words, and now that she heard it, she became more and more relieved.
She knew that the spot was hers.
The ethnology debate will be unusual, that is, the Xie family and the Kong family spoil Xie Yuanniang, and there are still the elders of the Kong family in the Kong clan, so naturally they will not choose to be beneficial to them.
Xie Yuanniang listened to the two talking, and her brain was not idle, her sister participated in the clan debate in her previous life was a fiasco, what if she participated in this life again?
