Chapter 181: Choice
The troubled Xu family tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Xu was startled by his depressed face with dark circles under his eyes in the mirror. How can you go out and meet people like this?
Xu was ruthless, put a thick layer of fat powder on his face, and deliberately wore a brightly colored dress to cover up the haggard who couldn't sleep all night.
Xie Ming and his wife were shocked when they saw Xu. However, the husband and wife did not say anything.
The mischievous Xie Yuanzhou leaned over with a smile: "Grandmother is really bright and energetic today!" ”
The Xu family usually loves this naughty and lively grandson the most, and when he heard this, he slapped Xie Yuanzhou on the back of the head, and scolded with a smile: "I dare to be so naughty with my grandmother!" ”
Xie Yuanzhou was really used to it, and he didn't take it to heart after being slapped, and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Grandmother, today I will go to Master Yang with my sister to learn music and rhythm." Early in the morning, Cousin Mingxi sent someone to deliver a message to us, saying that she had agreed with Master Yang and would let someone send us over today. ”
Xie Lanxi, who was gentle and silent, also flashed with joy in his eyes: "Master Yang is the master with the best rhythm in the Lotus Pond Academy, and he knows the four books and five classics, so he can worship under Master Yang's door, thanks to Cousin Mingxi." ”
The youngest, Xie Yuanwei, was only four years old, looked at his sister and brother with a blank eye, and said with envy: "I want to go too." ”
Que immediately smiled and coaxed: "You are still young, and it is not too late to open your mind and study again at the age of five." ”
"I'll send you to school next year." Xie Ming took over with a smile: "Dad made you a wooden horse today, you can ride and play in the yard." ”
Xie Yuanwei nodded happily.
……
The family talked and laughed, and their faces flashed with satisfaction with life at this time and longing for a better future.
In the past, when I was in Lin'an, how could there have been such a situation?
This is the capital Xie Mansion, which is the home of Mrs. Xie's father and son. She led her children and grandchildren cheekily followed, but she was still far from gaining a firm foothold.
Old lady Xie didn't want to see her, and was cold and indifferent to her stepson's family. Xie Jun will only do some superficial work, but in fact he will ignore it. Xie Yuanting Xie Yunxi, his eyes were above the top, full of contempt.
The county lord of Yongning only showed up once, and never came again. still ignores her serious father-in-law, and she, a mother-in-law who is not right, is shy and cheeky, but she is afraid that it will be difficult to please.
The Xie family is up and down, and no one cares about them at all. No one took them to heart.
Only Xie Mingxi showed favor to them from the beginning and took care of them everywhere......
Xu's heart was mixed, and he was speechless for a long time.
"Mother, why haven't you been talking?"
Xie Ming is cowardly and honest, neither talented nor shrewd, but the most filial. Seeing that his mother was depressed early in the morning, he suddenly felt nervous: "Could it be that she is not feeling well?" ”
Que Shi was also full of concern: "If my mother is unwell, you have to invite a doctor immediately." ”
Xie Yuanzhou immediately said: "Grandmother, I won't go to study, I'll accompany you in the house today." ”
The corners of Xu's eyes were sour, and his heart swelled with warmth, and his swaying mind finally settled down at this time: "I'm fine." You don't have to worry. Come with me to the inner hall! ”
……
Since Mrs. Xie entered the capital and lived in Xie's Mansion, she felt that her mind was smooth and quite happy.
It's a pity that Aunt Ding's Xie Yuanting made a fuss yesterday and was really annoying, so angry that Old Lady Xie has not slowed down until now. After Xu and the others came in, Old Lady Xie was even more depressed.
"I'm old, and I'm still greased and powdered, what kind of body has it become!"
Old Lady Xie mercilessly counted Xu in front of his children and grandchildren: "And this bright purple dress!" You're twenty years younger, and you're pretty much dressed. At this age, what do you look like? Go back and change into a plain one. ”
Xu Shi held back his sullen stomach and had nowhere to vent, so he responded back with a smile: "I am old and old, and I can't get into your eyes if I wear anything." If you don't like to watch it, just don't look at it. ”
Old lady Xie was choked up.
Just as they were about to get angry, Xie Mingxi and Xie Jun entered the inner hall one after the other.
Old Lady Xie still had some face in front of his son and granddaughter, so he immediately restrained his emotions and put on a majestic expression.
Xie Mingxi smiled and saluted one by one, and asked the Xu family as usual, cordially: "Grandmother seems to be looking bad today, is it because she is unwell, or did she not sleep well last night?" ”
Xu Shi smiled calmly: "It's still Ming Niang who is careful, and I can see at a glance that I didn't sleep well last night." I don't want your grandfather to worry, so he dressed brightly and painted with grease and powder. ”
It's a pity that Old Lady Xie didn't notice it at all.
Old lady Xie was squeezed so ugly that she snorted lightly.
Xu cheered up and looked at Xie Jun: "Ah Jun, you punished Aunt Ding for being grounded for half a year." But you always have to have someone around you to take care of your food, clothing, and daily life. I thought, call Ya Pozi to come today and pick out two beautiful and gentle maids for you, what do you think? ”
Xie Jun: "......"
Everyone: "......"
Xie Mingxi raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
It seems that Xu has figured it out.
……
I only heard Xu Shi laugh again: "It stands to reason that such trivial matters should not be taken care of by me." It's just that the county lord didn't live in the mansion, and Aunt Ding was grounded again. As a mother, I have to worry about you. ”
"It's just two maids, and it won't be strange to think about the county lord."
The maid and the concubine are different, nameless and dispensing, and can be sold at any time.
With the arrogance of the county lord of Yongning, where would he mind this little thing. In fact, if it weren't for the scruples of face, the county lord of Yongning would like him to take a concubine and sleep with a maid. Just don't dangle in front of her!
Thinking of this, Xie Jun felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, and there was a kind of wanton pleasure, he thought about it and said, "Mother Lao is bothered." ”
That's the promise.
Xu's heart relaxed, and he subconsciously glanced at Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi's expression was indifferent, not the slightest bit unusual. It seems that all this has nothing to do with her.
With such a city and such a skill, it will definitely become a great tool in the future!
Back then, she took out the coffin book for Xie Jun to study, but now, why didn't she dare to put the bet on Xie Mingxi? The worst result is to return to Lin'an's old house!
It's better to give it a go, maybe you can fight for a good future for your children and grandchildren!
Xu's mind was cheerful, no longer hesitating and entangled, and said with a smile: "I will call Ya Pozi to come to the door today." Pick two literate ones who can serve pen and ink. ”
Xie Jun had never seen Xu Shi so pleasing to the eye, and his voice was unprecedentedly gentle: "Everything is decided by my mother." ”
Xu responded with a smile.
Old lady Xie suddenly coughed and said, "We came in a hurry that day, and the maid I was waiting for did not bring it. Just take advantage of this time to buy two more maids. ”
Xu: "......"
Bah!
Shameless old thing!
