Chapter 164: Calculation (1)
Xu's words came from the bottom of his heart.
The old face, which was a little rough and shrewd, also seemed extraordinarily sincere.
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "Okay, if I have a request for grandmother, I must open my mouth." ”
Xu is by no means stupid. On the contrary, when he learned that the letter inviting everyone to Beijing was from Xie Mingxi, Xu had a vague guess.
These days, Xie Mingxi has deliberately shown goodwill, and Xu knows it well. Until this moment, the Xu family could be sure that Xie Mingxi did have plans for her and everyone in the second room.
But what's the matter?
There is no real blood relationship with each other, what about grandparents and grandchildren's affection, just laughing and talking. What she and her children and grandchildren need are tangible benefits. And Xie Mingxi also knew this, so he quietly helped her gain a firm foothold in the inner house, and found an excellent master for Xie Lanxi's sister and brother.
Such benefits are clearly visible and within reach. It is much more reliable than the promise that Xie Jun casually made back then!
Therefore, Xu did not hesitate to choose to stand by Xie Mingxi's side.
Although Xie Mingxi is young, the Xu family has no underestimation at all, and even has inexplicably strong confidence.
Xie Mingxi, in the future, it will definitely not be a thing in the pool!
The Xie family's hope for the revitalization of the courtyard may really fall on Xie Mingxi.
At least, it's much stronger than Xie Yuanting's idiot!
It is reasonable for the Xu family to choose Xie Mingxi!
Xie Mingxi did not disappoint the Xu family, did not pretend to be stupid, and responded so neatly.
Xu looked at Xie Mingxi, who looked peaceful, and smiled happily: "You have a monthly exam tomorrow, so rest early tonight!" When you come back after you get the first place in the exam, I will let the kitchen cook a good dish and celebrate for you. ”
……
Early the next morning.
Xie Mingxi, like on weekdays, got up early, changed clothes and freshened up. Then go and say hello to Old Lady Xie Xu.
Xie Jun and Aunt Ding were also there.
Aunt Ding held two boxes of dim sum in her hand, one box for Xie Yuanting and the other box for Xie Mingxi, and said with a loving smile: "Yuanting, Mingniang, both of you have to take the exam today." I got up early to make some pastries for you. When you're hungry, you can be hungry. ”
Xie Yuanting took the food box and thanked him.
Xie Mingxi didn't stretch out his hand, and said lightly: "No need." Ye Qiuniang had deliberately made a snack and asked Fuyu to bring it. ”
Aunt Ding's expression froze, and then she sighed with a wry smile: "Mingniang, I was wrong in the past and broke your heart." For the past two months, you have ignored me, and I don't know how uncomfortable I feel. ”
"It's just that I'm your own mother after all. Are you going to hold a grudge against me for this for the rest of your life? ”
As he spoke, his eyes were red, and his voice was slightly choked: "Ming Niang, I made the dim sum for you myself, you can accept it!" It's just that I apologize to you. ”
Aunt Ding was born delicate and beautiful, and at this time, she whispered and spoke kindly, looking really pitiful.
Xie Jun saw it in his eyes, and he was also a little unpleasant, and opened his mouth and said, "Ming Niang, you accept the dim sum." ”
Mrs. Xie also said: "Only when the family business is harmonious can everything prosper!" Mingniang, grandfather knows that you have been greatly wronged. However, now you are a student of Lianchi Academy. You don't have to worry about the past. In the future, your grandfather will also hurt you a little more to make up for your grievances. ”
Xu didn't say anything.
Aunt Ding looked at Xie Mingxi with tears in her eyes.
Xie Yuanting held the hand of the food box, unconsciously forced, and looked at it nervously as he seemed calm.
……
Xie Mingxi still didn't move, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Aunt Ding's face, her eyes were bright and sharp: "Auntie, this box of dim sum is really made by you?" ”
Aunt Ding nodded again and again: "Exactly." I didn't fake it, I did it myself. Then he softened his voice and said, "I made your favorite walnut cake." ”
Xie Mingxi said lightly: "The one who likes to eat walnut cake the most is the eldest brother." ”
Aunt Ding: "......"
"In the past, the eldest brother lived in the county lord's mansion for a long time, and he only came back twice a month. I knew that my aunt felt sorry for my eldest brother, so she said that she liked to eat walnut cake. In this way, after my aunt made a snack, I took it and gave it to my eldest brother. ”
"I understand my aunt, so I never told my aunt, in fact, I don't like walnut cake at all."
Aunt Ding's face was full of shame and embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Ming Niang." I was so careless that I never noticed it. I'm sorry! It's just that it's too late to redo it today, this box of walnut crisp, you take it first, and barely eat it once. I'll make your favorite food in the future. ”
Xie Mingxi looked at Aunt Ding steadily: "This box of walnut cakes, give it to the eldest brother too!" ”
Aunt Ding's face changed slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at Xie Yuanting.
Xie Yuanting's expression was also a little unnatural, and he pretended to be unhappy and said, "You used to eat walnut crisp in the past. It's not that I don't like to eat, and it's not that I can't eat it. I've got a box, and you can hold this one. ”
Xie Mingxi pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile: "Big brother is very concerned about me today. ”
This dead girl, why don't you take the food box!
Xie Yuanting was secretly anxious, and pretended to be calm and calm: "We are brothers and sisters, and it is natural to care about you." ”
"Oh?" Xie Mingxi's tail voice rose, and his eyes showed a cold sneer that understood everything: "Big brother's concern, I really can't bear it." ”
"If I really eat the walnut crisp in the box, I'm afraid I won't be able to take the exam again today."
……
The last sentence, like thunder, exploded in the ears of Xie Yuanting and Aunt Ding.
The mother and son turned white!
Xie Jun's color also changed suddenly, and his gaze quickly swept over Xie Yuanting's Aunt Ding's face. When you see the strange looks of the two, what else do you not understand?
Anger burns bright!
"Lilac incense! Xie Yuanting! Xie Jun's face was gloomy and furious: "What Ming Niang said is true? What did you do with the dim sum? ”
Aunt Ding's mind was blank, and she instinctively denied it: "No, no! Ming Niang is talking nonsense, this snack is clean and clean, and there is no problem. ”
Xie Yuanting also hurriedly denied: "Father, don't be deceived by the third sister." This walnut crisp is made by my aunt herself, how can there be a problem? ”
Old Lady Xie furrowed her brows, her eyes heavy.
Xu had already guessed what was going on, and couldn't help but snort: "Yuanting, it's not grandmother who said you." As an elder brother, you should be proud of having an outstanding sister like Ming Niang. It's good that you actually came up with such a way to frame Ming Niang out of jealousy and hatred! ”
Bah!
Ruthless bastard thing! More bastards than bastards!
Xie Yuanting's face turned blue and red, but he refused to admit it: "Without evidence, how can grandmother slander me wantonly." ”
Xie Mingxi smiled coldly: "Whether it's slander or not, you'll know if you try it." You can eat all the walnut crisp in your aunt's hand now! ”
Xie Yuanting: "......"
