Chapter 012: Happy Events (1)
Xie Lingyun let go of the doubts in her heart, the eldest lady talked about the matter of Lingshan Temple, maybe it was the right time for her, maybe she might know something from the eldest lady, so she remained silent and pretended to be curious and said:
"Mother, speaking of Lingshan Temple, my daughter really doesn't remember going there, let's go to Lingshan Temple, do we still have to stay there, do we go with our family?"
The eldest lady's eyes narrowed, as if she sensed that Xie Lingyun was talking, and said in a faint voice: "You just need to prepare properly, you don't need to ask more about other things." ”
Xie Lingyun was afraid that the eldest lady would really notice it, so she didn't dare to ask more, so as not to startle the snake, so she had to respond with a smile:
"Yes, my daughter will definitely make proper arrangements, please rest assured that my mother."
The eldest lady regained her motherly expression on her face, and said with relief: "You are the most sensible of your sisters, and your mother is very relieved of you. ”
As he was talking, a little maid said at the door: "Big lady, Miss Fourth and Miss Fifth are here to greet you." ”
The eldest lady said 'oh', probably didn't expect that the two of her would come over together, after all, the yard of the two people was far away, so she smiled at Mama Zhang beside her:
"Why did these two children come together?" Then he raised his voice and commanded outside the door: "It's cold outside, please come in quickly, so as not to suffer the cold." ”
Xie Lingyun saw the eldest lady's superb performance, lowered her head and smiled silently, and quickly got up and walked to the door, waiting to greet the two sisters.
"It's really cold today, isn't it the fourth sister?" Xie Lingyun first heard Xie Yuhan's voice and came in with a soft curtain of red sprinkled flowers, and then walked in first, but it was not the one she knew: a light-colored gauze long skirt, the skirt was embroidered with a thin gauze full of small flowers, looking elegant and refined, a dark embroidered belt around her waist, long black hair curled up, a pair of red phoenix eyes, her mouth was like a pearl pill, and her skin was like clotted fat, she didn't have to think about it, she knew that the delicate person in front of her was the fourth lady who went to Lingshan Temple to see each other in Xie Yuhan's mouth yesterday.
"I've seen the fourth sister." While Xie Lingyun was saluting, her mind kept spinning, thinking about everything about the fourth young lady in front of her.
The fourth lady of Xie Mansion is also a concubine, born to Aunt Qi, named Xie Yuting, just sixteen years old this year, because she usually speaks softly, she is also beautiful, and she has a lot of eyesight, so she is still popular in the house, although the eldest lady is not enthusiastic about it, but it is not like treating the original owner.
"The ninth sister is also here with my mother, hehe, please hurry up, we sisters don't need to be so polite to each other, so as not to appear angry." The sound is as crisp, pleasant, and beautiful as a yellow bird.
Xie Lingyun got up with a smile and looked at Xie Yuting in front of her, no matter how she looked at it, she felt very pleasing to the eye, beautiful with softness, without a bit of publicity, but very amiable like the big sister next door. If she hadn't heard from Qiu Yan that the person in front of her was also a master of acting, she thought to herself, she would definitely get along very happily with her.
Then Xie Yuhan also walked in, she seemed to know that Xie Lingyun was here, she just nodded to her, and walked to the eldest lady with Xie Yuting to greet her.
The eldest lady smiled like a flower, beckoned the two of them to sit beside her, and asked Xie Lingyun to sit down as well, and then asked as if unintentionally:
"It's a coincidence today, how did your two sisters come together?"
Xie Yuhan's face was a little unnatural, and he showed a little nervousness, but Xie Yuting replied naturally:
"What my mother said is that it is really a coincidence today, and my fifth sister and I happened to meet in the garden, so we came over to greet my mother together."
Xie Lingyun kept paying attention to the eldest lady's expression, and saw that she inadvertently nodded at Mama Zhang, and then Mama Zhang looked clear and quietly retreated.
With a flash in her eyes, Xie Lingyun remembered the interaction between the master and servant opposite, and secretly guessed that the eldest lady asked Mama Zhang to ask if Xie Yuting was telling the truth; As for the purpose of the eldest lady's doing, she doesn't need to guess to know a thing or two, the eldest lady definitely doesn't want a few concubines and concubines to get too close, which means that the more harmonious the relationship between the concubine's children, the more passive she will be as a mother-in-law.
This is like a general, although his subordinates have disputes, the general may have a headache, but once his subordinates are united, I am afraid that the general will have trouble sleeping, lest his subordinates will turn against the sky.
"Ninth sister, fourth sister just heard that you are sick, and now you are very good." The soft and caring words penetrated into Xie Lingyun's ears, and she came back to her senses, secretly blaming herself for not thinking nonsense in front of the eldest lady here.
"Thank you Fourth Sister for your concern, I'm much better."
Xie Yuting smiled as if she was relieved, and then asked as if unintentionally: "The ninth sister has always been in good health, I don't know what caused her illness this time, is it because of the carelessness of her subordinates?" ”
Xie Lingyun's heart tightened, and then she looked up at Xie Yuting seriously, with a very caring and loving expression on her face, but it made her heart tremble, she always felt that what she said seemed to mean something, besides, she didn't believe that Miss Xie Fuba, who harmed the soul of the original owner, was punished for a month and couldn't leave the yard, Xie Yuting didn't know? In the face of such an unkind question, she cheered up and dealt with it carefully, and said:
"The fourth sister is too careful, as long as she is a person, she has to eat grains and grains, and she has to have a time when she is sick, hehe, when the fourth sister is sick, it is because of the carelessness of the maids around her, in that case, you can't hide it, you have to tell your mother that you know well, and let your mother make decisions for you."
As she spoke, she quietly observed the eldest lady's reaction, and sure enough, as she thought, the corners of the eldest lady's mouth curled up, as if she was in a good mood.
Xie Yuting probably didn't expect it, but instead she was raised into the army, she was stunned, turned her head to the eldest lady, and said with a smile:
"Mother, look at my ninth sister, I haven't seen her for a few days, why is Xiaozui so powerful, I can't talk about her, I care about her with good intentions, but she talks about me like this." She still smiled softly when she spoke, but she smiled maliciously when she looked at Xie Lingyun, but when Xie Lingyun saw it, Xie Lingyun secretly said 'not good'.
Sure enough, "Hehe, the appearance of the ninth sister now reminds me of Aunt Feng, I remember that my father often praised Aunt Feng's clever mouth back then." ”
Xie Lingyun turned her head sharply, and saw the eldest lady's dark face when she heard this, and she felt a sense of itching in her heart, which really made her see that Xie Yuting is only sixteen years old now, in order to please the eldest wife, she actually hides evil intentions in every sentence, which is really unforgivable, but now she knows that it is not the time to confront her, so she can only pretend not to understand the meaning of the words, and said:
"The fourth sister still misses Aunt Feng, hehe, it's more heartfelt than me, Aunt Feng, I'm just a heartless person, and now in addition to eating well and sleeping well, I am all praying for the health of my father and mother."
Although she can't give Xie Yuting some color now, she is in a bad mood and doesn't want her to feel better. After all, she violated her bottom line and talked about a deceased mother, which is the most shameful thing.
Xie Yuting looked frightened, and suddenly said coquettishly to the eldest lady: "Mother, look at the ninth sister, this little mouth is really amazing, as if she is teasing me for being unfilial to my mother and father, a dead person, how can my daughter never forget it." Then while the eldest lady didn't care, she glanced at Xie Lingyun warningly, as if asking her to be careful about what she said, don't offend her, otherwise there will be no good fruit for her to eat.
Xie Lingyun shrugged her shoulders when she received her Chi Guoguo's warning, and did not take her warning to heart - because it was not her who provoked trouble.
After all, it was the person who was talking about the gritted teeth that the eldest lady hated in the past, and the motherly expression on the eldest lady's face was a little unbearable, and she said with a wistful expression:
"The small mouths of both of you sisters are powerful lords, okay, have you all had breakfast, if you don't, use some with your mother."
Xie Yuting probably felt that she was talking too much today, squinted at Xie Lingyun, and then said to the eldest lady in a coquettish tone:
"Mother, I came here to accompany my mother for breakfast today, so I came here early."
Xie Yuhan, who had not spoken, just had a playful expression, said with a mischievous smile at this time: "Mother, I haven't had a meal either, hehe, I came to my mother's place to eat today." Then she turned her head and asked Xie Lingyun with a smile:
"The ninth sister didn't eat breakfast, if not, let's accompany our mother to use some together."
Xie Lingyun has something on her mind, she has no appetite, not to mention eating at the eldest lady's place, she doesn't want to have indigestion; There is also the fact that she was worried about Qiu Yan who was out of the house, ignoring Xie Yuhan's winking at her and hinting at her willingness to stay, she stood up and said:
"Mother, my cold is not completely cured, I want to stay with my mother for breakfast, but I am afraid that it will be passed on to my mother and two sisters, so I will go back to my yard for breakfast."
The eldest lady probably didn't really want her to stay, so as not to be an eyesore, so she said, "You are not well yet, so go back quickly." ”
"Yes." Xie Lingyun bowed obediently and retired.
At this time, the eldest lady said, "When you are so good, it is not too late to come and greet me again." ”
Xie Lingyun knew that at this time, because Xie Yuting mentioned Aunt Feng, the eldest lady was unhappy, and she definitely didn't want to see her even more, and she was happy, so it was exactly what she wanted, so she didn't have to go back and forth to watch the eldest lady's disgusting acting, and she could learn more about the people and things in the Xie Mansion in the courtyard, and the most important thing was that she could make more preparations before going to Lingshan Temple, and then she pretended to be embarrassed to agree, and with a good mood that she didn't have when she came, she enjoyed the scenery on the side of the road and returned to Liyuan.
Liyuan is the courtyard where Aunt Feng specially begged Xie Chongtian to give Xie Lingyun when she was alive, and now in the courtyard, in addition to Chunxiang and Qiuyan who serve Xie Lingyun and Mama Liu, there are two second-class maids and a gatekeeper, and there is no one else.
After entering the house and sitting down, before she could catch her breath, Mama Liu, who had gone outside to visit her son, came back. "Miss, are you going to say hello to the eldest lady today?"
Mama Liu married into her husband's family, and after giving birth to two sons, she was favored by the eldest lady and entered the house to be Xie Lingyun's grandmother, and then she did not give birth again. Today, she heard that her second son was sick, and after asking Xie Lingyun for instructions, she went home in a panic.
Xie Lingyun understood Mama Liu's feelings as a mother, so she said that she would stay at home for two more days and then come back, and when she saw her at this time, she said in surprise: "Mama, didn't I let you stay at home for two more days, why did you come back now, is it okay for my brother?" ”
It is still unclear whether Mama Liu is from the eldest lady's side, so she is still very polite to Mama Liu, but she is not sympathetic.
Mama Liu saw that Xie Lingyun cared about her son, a hint of relief flashed in her eyes, and she replied with a smile: "What's wrong with him, this is missing me, saying that he can't eat because he thinks about it, so let me go back." ”
Xie Lingyun raised her eyebrows, she seemed to have heard that Mama Liu's second son was also sixteen, and he was a big child, it was really hard to imagine a big boy who was almost twenty years old spoiled his mother, saying that he couldn't eat what his mother wanted. The topic was not good to continue, she just smiled.
Mama Liu probably felt that she shouldn't have said it, so she smiled and asked if she had gone to say goodbye to the eldest lady.
Xie Lingyun nodded and said, chatted casually with Mama Liu, and sent her out, leaving her alone in the house anxiously waiting for Qiu Yan to come back.
After an hour passed, although it was a cold winter moon, Qiu Yan walked in with a red face, she first saluted Xie Lingyun, and when she saw that there was no one else in the room, she showed a cheerful smile and whispered:
"Miss, who do you think I met after I left the house?"
Xie Lingyun shook her head, she really didn't know, because she was not the original owner, but seeing that the other party was so happy, she thought it must not be a bad thing.
Qiu Yan also seemed to remember Xie Lingyun's amnesia, and she didn't sell it anymore, her eyes were shining, and she said in surprise: "I met the young master cousin, and he also asked the slave maid if you were doing in the house?" ”
Young Master Cousin? Xie Lingyun was not interested, but was just concerned about the matter of being a jade bracelet: "Don't talk about anything else, how did you do with the matter of the jade bracelet?" ”
"Miss, don't be in a hurry to ask this first, you listen to the slave first." Qiu Yan waved her hand and asked Xie Lingyun to listen to her first.
Xie Lingyun was aroused by her excitement and motioned for her to continue.
Qiu Yan said with a smile: "Miss, the young master knows about the eldest lady going to Lingshan Temple, and he also knows what to do, and he specially told the slave maid, and the young master asked the slave to bring you a word......"
