The county lord of Yongning was in a good mood and immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Xie Mingxi smiled and said, "Mother, I brought the cook into the house by myself. At noon, he ate by himself and did not disturb his mother Yaxing. ”

The county lord of Yongning nodded casually.

The county lord of Yongning rarely asks about the mansion of Xie Mansion on weekdays, but since someone regularly reports to the county lord of Yongning about the "major events" that happened in the Xie Mansion. Xie Mingxi hired a cook from Dingxiang Building, and Aunt Ding ran into a wall outside Chunjin Pavilion for a few days, and of course the county lord of Yongning knew.

It's just a fledgling child. Allow her a few days.

Forgive her and don't dare to act recklessly!

Xie Mingxi saluted, turned around and retreated.

Sheng Xuan was a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

It's a long time to come!

In the future, there is always a chance to "get close".

……

After lunch, Sheng Jinyue's brothers and sisters said goodbye together.

Xie Yuanting immediately smiled and said, "I'll give my cousin and cousin Jinyue a ride." ”

Sheng Xuan was noncommittal.

Sheng Jinyue was very impressed by Xie Yuanting's courtesy and thoughtfulness.

However, she is arrogant by nature, and she always has a little dislike for Xie Yuanting's status as a concubine, and she is quite cold when she comes and goes on weekdays. At this time, his eyes were full of reserve, and he couldn't see any joy.

Xie Yuanting saw it in his eyes and was not discouraged.

Father Xie Jun came from a humble background, and he was still able to marry the county lord as his wife. He was raised under his mother-in-law's name, and he was the only son of the Xie family, so it was not difficult to marry a famous lady in the future.

The arrogant concubine of the Huainan Royal Mansion in front of him will sooner or later be in his hands.

After getting into the carriage, Sheng Jinyue snorted dissatisfiedly: "It's just a concubine who has a child, relying on her aunt and no children, and she looks like a young master everywhere in the mansion." I leaned around my eldest brother with a shy face all day long, and kept calling me cousin! It's brazen! ”

Sheng Xuan's voice was quite gentle: "My aunt has no children, he has been raised by his aunt's side since he was a child, and he is no different from his sister-in-law." Even for the sake of my aunt's face, I have to give him some face. ”

Sheng Jinyue reluctantly responded, and pouted again: "Big brother is really good-tempered!" ”

Sheng Xuan's eyes flashed slightly.

Grandfather King Huainan has no shortage of sons, and there are six concubines in total, but there is only one daughter, which is very favorable. Moreover, the county lord of Yongning was brought up in the palace since he was a child, and he was favored by the Empress Dowager Li.

There are quite a few daughters of the clansmen of the Great Qi Dynasty, and only one or two out of ten are really crowned as the county lord. The Lord of Yongning is undoubtedly the best among them.

He was willing to surrender his identity and associate with Xie Yuanting, not without the intention of showing favor to the lord of Yongning County. It was also intended to be shown to my grandfather.

Xie Yuanting's enthusiasm for Sheng Jinyue was in his eyes.

At this time, they are all young, and it is too early to say anything.

"In a while, you and Yunxi Mingxi's two cousins will take the entrance exam for Lotus Pond Academy!" Sheng Xuan pretended to smile casually: "You might as well invite them to the palace as guests these days to discuss how to take the exam." ”

Sheng Jinyue was quite unhappy: "Cousin Yunxi is just that, what kind of cousin is that Xie Mingxi!" I didn't bother to pay attention to her! ”

Sheng Xuan frowned slightly and glanced at Sheng Jinyue.

Sheng Jinyue changed her words stupidly: "That's it, I just listen to my eldest brother." ”

Sheng Xuan stretched his brows and smiled slightly.

……

Yongning County Lord's Mansion, Ronghe Hall.

"Mother!" As soon as Sheng Xuan's brother and sister left, Xie Yunxi couldn't help but sneer: "Why don't you scold the third sister today and be angry for me?" ”

The county lord of Yongning said lightly: "I have my own considerations. ”

Xie Yunxi was arrogant, stomped his feet and said, "I don't care!" In short, my mother has to vent this evil breath for me! ”

On that day, Xie Mingxi made a provocative remark, causing her to bow her head for several days before she coaxed Sheng Jinyue to stop minding.

When had she ever been so idle?

You must teach Xie Mingxi a lesson!

The county lord of Yongning frowned and scolded in a low voice: "The entrance exam for Lotus Pond Academy is coming soon. When the time comes, you will have to rely on her to get you into the academy. During this time, you can honestly stop. Even if you pretend, you have to pretend to be a sister! ”

Before Xie Yunxi could say anything more, the county lord of Yongning had already sunk his face: "If you also have her intelligence and talent, why should I bother so much!" ”

As soon as the county lord of Yongning calmed down, Xie Yunxi didn't dare to say anything more, and responded aggrievedly.

Seeing her like this, the lord of Yongning County slowed down his tone again: "Yun Niang, you are eleven this year, you are not too young, and you should know that planning for yourself is it." ”

"When you enter the academy in the future, I will let your third sister follow you as a companion. All the homework that needs to be written, let her do it. She is good at poetry and painting, and you will be able to become famous in Beijing for her poetry and painting in the future. ”

"If you have a talent name, you are eligible to be selected as the princess."

"The second prince has decided to get married, and they will get married this year. The third prince and the fourth prince are all thirteen years old this year, and the fifth prince is twelve years old. After a few years to choose a concubine, you are the right age. If you can marry into the heavenly family as a daughter-in-law, you will be the princess in the future. There may be an opportunity to go further. ”

As soon as he mentioned the family matter, Xie Yunxi suddenly blushed shyly, and stomped his feet lightly: "Mother! My daughter is still young, so what do I do when I talk about this. ”

"Silly girl!" The county lord of Yongning looked at him softly: "The prince chooses a concubine, and he is cautious." Family background and talent are indispensable. If you want to marry into the heavenly family, you must plan in advance. ”

After speaking, he sighed again: "Your father's official position is really low. ”

is just a fourth-grade official, and he can't do it.

If it weren't for the Huainan Palace, Xie Yunxi would not even be qualified to compete for the crown princess.

Xie Yunxi heard the meaning of Yongning County's words, bit his lip, and swallowed his dissatisfaction with his father back into his stomach.

Among the three brothers and sisters, Xie Jun values the eldest son the most, which is understandable. Xie Mingxi, who was born in the house, was even more popular with her father than her. The truth made Xie Yunxi angry and angry!

Xie Jun never shows his face, and he can always see a little bit of subtlety.

This also greatly frustrated the arrogant Xie Yunxi.

She refused to admit that she was inferior to Xie Mingxi, and she only felt that her father was partial.

"Yun Niang," the voice of the county lord of Yongning sounded in his ears: "Have you written down everything I said?" During this time, when you go out of the house as a guest, you have to bring Ming Niang with you. ”

Xie Yunxi nodded reluctantly.

……

There are many vacant courtyards in the county lord's mansion.

Xie Mingxi, like in his previous life, lived in Bishui Pavilion. It was only a few steps away from Xie Yunxi's Yunshui Pavilion.

Bishui Pavilion is also clean and spacious, but the interior furnishings are worse than Yunshui Pavilion. From Yu Fuyu doesn't know the goods, but Xie Mingxi knows it at a glance.

It doesn't hurt to live in a temporary place.

After resting for a long time, when Xie Jun returned in the evening, the "family" sat together in style.

Xie Jun's eyes swept over the faces of his three children, and he smiled happily: "This is how a family should be." ”

Unfortunately, no one responded.

The county lord of Yongning looked faint, Xie Yuanting was only looking at the mare, and Xie Yunxi glanced at his sister with disgust.

Only Xie Mingxi smiled at Xie Jun: "I am also looking forward to having the opportunity to get together with my father." ”

Xie Jun's eyes softened: "You can live here with peace of mind in the future!" ”

I completely forgot that this was the Yongning County Lord's Mansion, not the Xie Mansion.

Xie Mingxi pretended to sigh apologetically: "Only my aunt is left in the house alone, I really can't rest assured." In a few days, I'll go back. ”

Xie Jun: "......"

Xie Jun glanced at the cold-faced Yongning County Lord embarrassedly, coughed, and changed the topic: "Ming Niang, I heard that you invited a cook back from outside the mansion." ”

Xie Mingxi smiled sweetly, revealing a shallow pear vortex: "Exactly." The daughter also paid a hundred taels of silver out of the account. ”

A hundred taels of silver is not a small amount.

Xie Jun felt a little pain, but his mouth was quite generous: "If it's not enough, just open your mouth with me." ”

Xie Mingxi's eyes lit up: "My daughter thinks that there are not enough people around her, and she wants to buy a few more to use." Then thank you father! ”

Xie Jun: "......"

Xie Jun endured the pain and nodded with a smile.

Xie Yunxi clenched the chopsticks in his hand hard, and the unevenness in his heart swarmed again.

Why is my father partial to the third sister?

Obviously, she is the daughter of the Xie family!
