On this night, Xie Mansion was also "lively".

As soon as Xie Mingxi returned home, the Xu family got the news and came to Chunjin Pavilion in person: "Mingniang, after you left, Aunt Ding woke up." She cried and pleaded with your father, wanting to bear all the wrongdoings, and begging your father to spare Yuanting. ”

"But your father is hard-hearted this time, and he has made up his mind to teach Yuanting a lesson. has taken a few days off for Yuanting and ordered him to reflect in the mansion. ”

"Aunt Ding was also imprisoned in the Lanxiang Courtyard, and she was not allowed to leave the courtyard for half a step."

Xie Jun was furious and punished Aunt Ding's mother and son, Xie Yuanting, and the Xu family felt quite happy in their hearts.

However, in front of Xie Mingxi, the Xu family still covered up a thing or two.

Anyway, Aunt Ding is Xie Mingxi's mother-in-law, and Xie Yuanting is Xie Mingxi's brother-in-law. Even Xie Mingxi was annoyed and hated, seeing his mother and brother being punished so severely, he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted.

It's a pity that Xu was really wrong this time.

After Xie Mingxi heard this, he was not stunned, let alone sad, and only sighed lightly.

This ten-year-old girl, the depth of the city, is difficult to see.

Xu Shi muttered secretly in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Ming Niang, if you feel uncomfortable in your heart, you might as well say it." If you have a place to find your grandmother, just open your mouth, and your grandmother will never refuse. ”

Xie Mingxi looked at Xu and smiled slightly: "I do have something to ask my grandmother." ”

Xu's old face stretched and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”

Xie Mingxi said lightly: "My aunt was punished and grounded, and my father must be quite lonely when I think about it." As a daughter, although I can think of some things, it is inconvenient for me to worry about my father, so as not to fall into the hands of others. I had to bother my grandmother to be the master and buy two maids for my father. In this way, my father lived with food and clothing, and there were people to serve him. ”

Xu: "......"

Rao is Xu is experienced in the world, and he was also shocked by these words.

Xie Mingxi didn't have the slightest intention of interceding for his mother, but wanted to buy a house for his father?

This is also too surprising and shocking!

……

Xie Mingxi didn't say anything to urge, and when Xu came back to his senses after a moment of shock, he smiled again: "Grandmother, do you think this matter is embarrassing?" ”

Xu Shi fixed his mind: "It's not difficult to buy a maid." Your old grandfather, who doesn't cultivate, will buy a maid every few months. I often deal with Ya Pozi, and it is common to buy and sell maids. ”

"However, in the past, I was in Lin'an, but now that I am in the capital, it is the first time I have done such a thing. Should I send a letter to the lord of Yongning? ”

In the final analysis, it is the county lord of Yongning who is jealous.

In Xu's opinion, the lord of Yongning, as the main house, must not want her husband to have a maid by his side. Her mother-in-law is acting on her behalf, and if she angers the county lord of Yongning, it will not be very good.

It doesn't hurt to reach out and get money from the inner house, and face the county lord of Yongning, but it's too embarrassing for her to be an old woman!

Xie Mingxi looked at the Xu family steadily, and his bright eyes seemed to be able to peek through all the calculations in the Xu family's heart: "Grandmother wants to ask the county lord for approval first?" So as not to anger the county lord? ”

Xu's face was thick and old, and he didn't blush when he was told to break his mind: "Yes, I do have this plan." ”

"The Xie family has today's situation, and most of them rely on the county lord of Yongning. Even if the county lord of Yongning does not live in the Xie Mansion, the Xie family's house can't spare the county lord in big and small matters, right? ”

Xie Mingxi chuckled: "As soon as my grandmother entered the Xie Mansion, she took over the inner house, and she didn't show any mercy when she reached out for silver." I want to be in charge of big and small things, why do I think of the county lord now? ”

"Could it be that Grandmother doesn't want to offend the county lord head-on, and wants to use this excuse to perfunctory me?"

Xu: "......"

No matter how thick-skinned he is, when he is told to his face, Xu also feels hot on his face.

Xie Mingxi restrained his smile and said lightly: "There is no good thing in the world that is not earned for nothing. Now that my grandmother had chosen her position, it was time to stand firm. ”

"It's not easy to be a wallgrass. It can slip under the wall at any time. ”

"There is a give-and-take, and you must remember to be greedy and want-to-do, and in the end you will only be empty."

Xu's face flickered red and white.

"Ask Grandmother to go back and think about it before making a decision." Xie Mingxi's expression was faint, and he couldn't see the slightest joy or anger: "Congyu, you send my grandmother back on my behalf." ”

……

Xu was unsettled all the way, and he stumbled twice along the way.

Fortunately, the maid next to her was quick and supported Xu in time.

Seeing it in the eyes of the jade, he didn't say a word, and after sending the Xu family back to the courtyard, he hurriedly turned around and reported in a low voice: "...... The old lady seemed to be frightened by the young lady's words, and almost fell twice along the way. ”

"Miss, the slave and maid are watching, the old lady is afraid that she is not very reliable. Perhaps, tomorrow he will quietly go to the county lord's mansion to show goodwill. ”

Then, he took the initiative to ask: "Tomorrow, the slave and maid are in the house, and they must keep an eye on the movements of the old lady and the maid beside her." Once someone went to the county lord's mansion, the slave maid immediately sent someone to the academy to deliver a letter to the young lady. ”

The time when the Xu family came to Xie Mansion was still short, and they had not had time to buy maids and servants. The reuse is all the old people in the Xie Mansion.

Every move can't be hidden from Chunjin Pavilion at all.

Xie Mingxi hummed casually.

Congyu was stunned: "Miss, aren't you worried at all?" ”

"What is there to worry about?"

Xie Mingxi's expression was indifferent, and her voice was calm and calm: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and how she chooses is her business." I don't have to figure out what she's thinking, I just have to see what she does next. ”

"She chose to stand on my side, so I supported her to take charge of the Xie family's inner house, so that everyone in the second room of the Xie family could be placed."

"If she throws herself to the county lord, the inner mansion of the Xie Mansion will no longer be able to accommodate her, and I will send her and all the people in the second room to the county lord's mansion."

Congyu: "......"

Miss is as confident and strong as ever!

Xu, I hope you can make the right choice. Otherwise, you won't even be able to cry when the time comes!

……

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Xu lives with his son and daughter-in-law.

Seeing Xu's depressed appearance, Xie Ming was anxious and nervous, and hurriedly helped Xu to sit down. The daughter-in-law Que brought tea and waited for Xu to drink two sips.

The warm tea slowly slid down my throat and into my belly. Xu's disordered heartbeat finally calmed down slightly.

Xie Ming couldn't help but ask again: "Mother, what happened?" Didn't you go to Chunjin Pavilion? I was happy when I went, why was I so depressed when I came back? ”

Que was also full of nervousness: "Ming Niang is the most kind and kind, and she will never have a dispute with her mother!" ”

Kind and kind?

No, they were all wrong!

Xie Mingxi's kindness and kindness are just a mask to show people. After taking off the mask, the indifference was sharp, and even she, an old woman who was over half a hundred years old, was shocked.

Thinking of Xie Mingxi's words, Xu's heart palpitated. But he didn't want to say more to his cowardly son, let alone reveal it to his daughter-in-law, so he waved his hand indiscriminately: "You all go back and rest, I want to be alone." ”
