"Miss, can you tell the slave what happened? Why do you want to let the slave go? Qiaofeng is very concerned about this problem. (天天Chinese.)
Xie Lingyun said with a dull face: "I just feel that fate is out of control and tired." "The contrast between the big lady and the front and back today, as well as the cold man's warning, gave her a bad premonition. Although she didn't want to admit it in her heart, the development of things seemed to make no longer allow her to deceive herself.
Qiaofeng's eyes flashed with helplessness, and she said faintly: "Miss, we can't control our own destiny in the first place." "If fate can be controlled by herself, how can she be sold by her own father and mother to Xie Mansion as a maid.
"But I want to fight fate." Xie Ling turned his head and looked at her seriously, his eyes were full of unwillingness, but this unwillingness was quickly covered by helplessness, she leaned on the backrest behind her as if she had been drained of her strength, and said heavily: "But I don't have time to fight." ”
"Miss, what do you mean by that, and why is there no time?" Qiao Feng's heart rose again.
Xie Lingyun shook his head, he didn't want to continue on this topic, and said, "You'll understand when you get back to the mansion, now you don't ask anything, let me be quiet." "Things changed so suddenly that she couldn't accept it for a while, and she needed to be quiet.
Qiaofeng's heart was full of questions, looking at her young lady's low appearance, but she could only suppress it in her heart.
I kept praying in my heart for the blessing of the Buddha and never let bad things happen.
When the carriage slowly entered the Xie Mansion and stopped at the second gate, everyone got off the carriage and obviously felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was different—with a strong sense of joy.
"Mother, just now Prince Jian's Mansion sent a letter of invitation." Xie Tingyun, while walking over to help the eldest lady, couldn't hide her joy and said. The letter of invitation in his mouth is to set the date of marriage. Generally, after the man has seen the date, let the matchmaker go to the woman's house to ask, if the woman's family has no opinion on the date of marriage, then the date of marriage is set.
"What did your father say?" The eldest lady asked expressionlessly. She didn't ask Prince Jian's mansion who she liked to be the princess, but just glanced at Xie Lingyun with complicated eyes.
Xie Tingyun did not doubt it, and said, "My father has agreed. ”
"Ridiculous, I, who is a mother-in-law, haven't nodded in agreement yet, only your father nodded and the matter has been settled, what does Prince Jane's Mansion mean? Is it embarrassing for me? ”
"Hehe, look at what my sister-in-law said, our small Xie Mansion and Prince Jian's Mansion can ask the matchmaker to send a letter of invitation, which has already given us a lot of face, you don't think there is light on your face, but say that people embarrass you, what is the reason?" Suddenly, a shrewd-looking woman in her thirties came out of the second gate.
"You······ Why are you here? The eldest lady was shocked when she saw the woman.
A hint of ridicule flashed in the woman's eyes, and she smiled and squirmed to the eldest lady, and said, "Look at what the sister-in-law said, what's the matter, shouldn't the younger brother and sister come, hehe, we are here to go to the eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”
This woman is the second lady Zhao, a few days ago Xie Chongtian hid from the eldest lady and asked the subordinates to hurry back to Hangzhou, in order to let the second family come over as soon as possible. Originally, it took more than 20 days to travel back and forth from Beijing to Hangzhou, but it was very coincidental. was sent by Xie Chongtian and the next person had not been gone for a few days, but on the way, he met the second family who had come to the capital with his family, and the second family entered the capital in a few days.
The eldest lady tried her best to maintain her hostess's demeanor, but the words spoken by the second lady were ruined, her face was pale, and she said lukewarmly:
"The mansion in the capital is such a big place, and you don't say hello in advance before you come, how can I arrange this? If you want me to say, Hangzhou lives well, why bother to come to the capital, not to mention the crowded place, there are many inconveniences. The implication of her words is that disliking the second family is a burden, and it has the meaning of being funny.
If the eldest lady's words were put away, if the second lady hadn't seen the people who invited them to the capital, and they would have to rely on the big house to live in the future, they might have laughed because of the eldest lady's words. But at this time, she knew that our family was invited by the big house, and when she saw the eldest brother just now, she heard that she was going to ask her to ask her to ask for the relatives of several concubines. Hmph, a person whose husband doesn't trust, why should she be careful with her. At that moment, she replied with disdain:
"Alas, sister-in-law, what you said really went to my heart, no matter how good the capital is, it can't compare to Hangzhou, after all, it is our roots." Speaking of this, she continued with a look of embarrassment:
"But the eldest brother asked us to come, sister-in-law, you said that the eldest brother let me come, can we, as younger brothers and sisters-in-law, disobey the will of the eldest brother? You must know that the eldest brother is like a father, alas, even if a hundred of us are unwilling to come, we can only reluctantly come to the eldest brother and sister-in-law. After speaking, she also sighed with a good voice, in order to express her reluctance to Hangzhou and her helplessness to come to the capital.
If Xie Lingyun didn't have something in her heart, she would have to laugh because of the second lady's behavior. The second lady clearly wanted to make the eldest lady ugly and deliberately angry with her.
"This can't be? Why didn't I know about your eldest brother letting your family come to the capital? The eldest lady couldn't stand this stimulation, and shouted at the second gate regardless of her image, in front of her subordinates.
The second lady pursed her lips, as if disdainful of her reaction. As if he still thought she was angry, he raised his hand to look at his red nails, and said:
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell my sister-in-law, eight girls, four girls, five girls, and Aunt Jiao all came with us."
"What?" The eldest lady was dumbfounded when she couldn't accept it, and raised her voice and said, "This is impossible, what about them?" If you come, why don't you come to greet me? She looked left and right in a panic, and when she was sure that she didn't see one of the things that the second lady said, she said angrily:
"Second brother, are you joking with me?!"
"Oh, my sister-in-law has wronged me, how dare I make such a joke with my sister-in-law." The second lady said in a hoisted voice, and then raised her hand to Xie Tingyun, who was at a loss, to
"If sister-in-law doesn't believe it, isn't this, is Yun'er, this kid here, as soon as you ask him, you will know if I lied to you?"
The eldest lady turned her head to look at her son, and eagerly asked, "Yun'er, your second aunt is a liar, right?" ”
Xie Tingyun faked a cough, and said in a comforting tone: "Mother, the second aunt didn't deceive anyone, it is true that my sisters and aunts have come to the capital." After saying this, as if he was afraid that his mother would be angry, he went on to explain:
"Because of the long distance, the younger sisters and aunts were very tired, so the son decided to let them go to rest first, and then go to say goodbye to their mother after they have rested."
The eldest lady's face was pulled down, and she walked towards the second door without a squeak, and at first glance, she wanted to question Xie Chongtian.
"Oh, you said that I have such a brain, I almost forgot to tell my sister-in-law, the eldest brother said a few daughters' relatives, let me help Zhang Luo, sister-in-law has been too tired recently, so don't worry about it."
The eldest lady was walking, and when she heard the words of the second lady, she almost tripped over her own foot, and she felt that she didn't come up with a breath, and she almost held back. His chest rose and fell greatly, and he glared at the second lady viciously, and without looking back, he held Mama Zhang's arm and walked towards the second door. She now feels that there is nothing in her mind, she just wants to go to the study to find her husband theory, why is her mother-in-law still alive and well, but she wants the second family to worry about the family affairs of a few girls.
At this time, the eldest lady had not yet realized her mistake, and what she had done had already chilled her husband's heart and had no trust in her. Now she was just thinking about asking her husband for an explanation, a reason.
"Sixth sister, why did Aunt Jiao come with you?" After the eldest lady left, Xie Ruxue dared to ask what was in her heart.
Xie Yafu was not overjoyed by Aunt Jiao's arrival, but her eyes flashed, and she said in a very impulsive tone:
"If you ask me about my kung fu at this time, will you ask Aunt Jiao yourself? Really, what kind of mess did she come to make, and she didn't think there were many things. ”
"Sixth sister, how can you say that about our aunt, hum." Xie Ruxue jumped to her feet angrily, glared at her dissatisfiedly, turned around and entered the second door without paying attention to the second lady.
The second lady seemed to have been accustomed to her attitude for a long time, she just pursed her lips and glanced at her back with disdain, and then did not pay attention to Xie Yafu, but walked up to Xie Lingyun with an overly enthusiastic smile, took her soft and boneless little hand, and said with pity:
"Our little nine is considered to have survived, and he will be rich in the future, but you have to think about the second aunt, when you were a child, the second aunt gave you a lot of good things to eat, haven't you forgotten?"
Xie Lingyun sneered in her heart, is the second lady beating herself with a family stick? I don't like the second lady's style in my heart, but she doesn't show half a point on her face, after all, multiple friends are better than multiple enemies, she smiled decently:
"How dare you forget the kindness of the second aunt." She didn't know anything about the original owner's past, so why did she forget to say anything.
"Hehe, the second aunt knows that you are a grateful person, and in the future, the second aunt will have to rely on you to enjoy the shade under the big tree, if the second aunt has something to ask you, you don't have to refuse when the time comes."
"As long as it's within my power, I won't shirk it." Xie Lingyun said politely. But the premise is what she has the ability to do, and this ability must have three points and three solutions. She wrote a blank check to the second lady, as for whether to cash it or not, it depends on the performance of the second lady in the future.
"Second aunt, what are you talking about? Why didn't I get it? What does it mean for Nine Sisters to be rich? Xie Yafu interjected with a pale face. There was panic in his eyes, but he pretended to be calm and stood upright.
When the second lady heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled, because she had just arrived, and she didn't know that there was such a thing as changing Geng posts, so she said without scruples:
"You kid, really, even I, who just came, know that our Xiaojiu will marry into Prince Jian's mansion as a princess in a month, don't you know?"
"What? How is this possible?! Xie Yafu's voice soared to the peak, making people feel a little weird and a little terrifying. I can't tell if it's a human voice.
"You kid, what kind of crazy thing you smoke so much, your heart is going to be scared out of you." The second lady turned pale with fright, and gritted her teeth and scolded. I secretly hated in my heart, if her daughters were so scared of her, she would have slapped her a big slap long ago. In fact, if she wasn't afraid of Xie Lingyun, she couldn't help but give Xie Yafu two blows. It's not that she's angry, but she's really scared, and she still feels her heart pounding at this moment.
Xie Yafu ignored her, and looked at Xie Lingyun with a stunned look in her eyes, and put down a sentence: "I won't let you succeed." Then he rushed into the second gate like crazy.
The second lady was taken aback again, and scolded and said: "What is the problem that these are all nervous, where is there still a little bit of the appearance of being a lady and a young lady, hum, even a subordinate is a hundred times stronger than them." ”
"Second aunt, be cautious, be careful that the wall has ears, if this word reaches your mother's ears, then you will be in trouble." Xie Lingyun said coldly.
"Oh, it's still you intimate with the second aunt, don't you have to be careful to say this, otherwise let your cautious mother hear it, I really have to eat a widow." The second lady's face changed faster than she turned a book, and she looked angry just now, but now she changed to a flattering smile.
"The second aunt is not the place to talk here, I don't know if I can invite the second aunt to my niece's yard to talk for a while." Xie Lingyun said with a smile.
A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the second lady, and then she pretended to say: "You just came back from Xiangfu Temple, you must be very tired at this time, why don't you go to your yard another day and talk to you about your heart?" ”
Xie Lingyun disliked this second aunt more and more in her heart, and she obviously wanted to go to the Dust Pavilion, but what she said was the opposite, which made people feel uninteresting when they heard it. But because she has a plan in her heart, she can't help but be aggrieved with someone like the second lady.
"Second aunt, don't get in the way, I'm not tired, but the second aunt has traveled a long way, is she tired, or the second aunt will go to rest first, and I'll go to see the second aunt another day."
The second lady covered her mouth with the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and sneered, "Look at our family Xiaojiu, he is not very old, but he is a second person who knows cold and hot, and when he marries into Prince Jian's mansion, he must not be hurt by the prince to the heart." ”
Xie Lingyun resisted the urge to roll her eyes, smiled shyly, and said, "Second aunt, look at what you are talking about?" Hmph, I won't let you go to my yard. After speaking, he turned around and said to Qiao Feng, who was a little slow to react:
"Qiaofeng, let's go."
"Hey, hehe, our little nine is shy, okay, the second aunt won't say it, let's not talk about the assembly." The second lady said with a smile, and kept keeping up with Xie Lingyun.
Xie Lingyun knew that the second lady would definitely follow her to the Dust Pavilion, but she couldn't stand her speechless mouth, so in order to let her wait for a while to go to the Dust Pavilion to restrain herself, she deliberately pretended to be really annoyed by the second lady. The footsteps walked quickly towards the dust pavilion, and there was no intention of waiting for the second lady at all.
"Hey, I said Xiao Jiu, don't go so fast, the second aunt has old arms and legs, but she can't keep up with you." The second lady said slightly out of breath in the back.
Xie Lingyun saw that the dust pavilion was already in front of her, stopped, turned around and said seriously and a little coquettishly: "Second aunt is still joking with me?" What she meant was that if the second lady joked again, she wouldn't be invited into the dust pavilion.
The second lady is a good person, and it can be said that she is not many times more shrewd than the eldest lady. In the past, when she was in Hangzhou, the eldest lady suffered many losses from the second lady. At this time, how could she not hear Xie Lingyun's words, and secretly scolded in her heart, "Stinky girl, but her face did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, and deliberately greeted her:
"Okay, don't say it, don't say it, can't the second aunt not say it? Since our little nine is thin-skinned, then the second aunt will take care of her own broken horse and open her mouth, so as not to annoy our little nine, so you should let the second aunt go into the yard to drink saliva, right? ”
Xie Lingyun snorted, pretending to be amused by the second lady and laughing, and finally reluctantly nodded and agreed to the second lady's entry into the courtyard.
The second lady probably annoyed her because of the toss just now, or because she didn't dare to provoke Xie Lingyun, until she entered the house and sat down to drink a cup of tea, she didn't say anything inappropriate, but was very elder-like, caring about Xie Lingyun's daily life.
"Xiao Jiu, are you still used to eating when you just came to the capital? It's comfortable to live in, if you feel that there is something unsatisfactory, tell the second aunt, now your father has let the second aunt handle your dowry, and the second aunt will simply take over your daily life, anyway, your mother doesn't care. ”
"Thank you, second aunt." Xie Lingyun thanked her gratefully, then picked up the teacup beside her and drank the tea slowly.
The second lady waited for a while, thinking that Xie Lingyun would follow her words and make a request. Because I made it very clear and showed my attitude to help her. As soon as she entered the house, the second lady looked at the simple furnishings in the house, and already had Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, thinking that she would use this as bait Xie Lingyun would definitely ask her, so when she was developed, she would be able to use this to seek more benefits for her children.
It's a pity that after waiting for a long time, Xie Lingyun didn't squeak, which made the second lady with wishful thinking unable to hold her anger. She coughed lightly, then sighed inexplicably, and said with a sad expression:
"Alas, your child is also a miserable child, if Aunt Feng is still alive, even if the eldest lady is mean all these years, she will not suffer so much, the second aunt looks sad and wants to help you, but in Hangzhou, your mother is in charge of the house, I am more than willing and not enough Now it's okay, since your father said that I will take care of the house for a few days, I can't lose you Xiao Jiu, what do you want, just tell the second aunt, the second aunt will definitely do it." After speaking, she stared at Xie Lingyun with warm eyes, waiting for her answer.
Xie Lingyun didn't disappoint her, and after a while, she opened her mouth softly and said, "Since the second aunt said so, then the good niece won't be polite to the second aunt, the second aunt ......."
"Miss, are you hungry? Do you want the slave to bring you some pastry to eat? Qiaofeng suddenly overstepped over, interrupted what she was about to say, and took advantage of the second lady's inattention, blinked her eyes a few times, and then respectfully retreated to stand in place.
"Bold, master speaks, how can there be a reason for you maid to interject, it's really an ignorant thing, so sell it to that pickled place, hum." Because of Qiaofeng's interruption, the second lady didn't hear what she wanted to hear, and threw her anger on Qiaofeng.
"It's the niece who didn't discipline her well, but tired the second aunt to worry about, and the niece felt panicked." Xie Lingyun said lukewarmly.
"Huh?" The second lady didn't expect that a word to teach the maid would annoy the person in front of her, she touched her nose and said abruptly:
"Xiao Jiu, the second aunt said that this unruly thing is all for your own good, and when you enter Prince Jane's mansion, it is a place where the rules are as big as the sky, this ignorant thing, if you don't know how to converge, you won't be able to cause trouble."
"Thank you, second aunt." Xie Lingyun didn't have any sincere thanks, but in her heart she was wondering what Qiaofeng's abnormal behavior just now meant?
The second lady did not continue the topic, but turned to the original topic, and said with a false smile:
"Xiao Jiu, what did you just say to the second aunt? Because of this unruly thing, the second aunt didn't hear it clearly, you tell the second aunt again, what do you want the second aunt to do for you? ”
Xie Lingyun frowned, and was very angry at the second lady's use of a mouthful of things to describe Qiaofeng. When she answered the second lady's question, she glanced at Qiao Feng meaningfully, and saw a trace of anxiety flashing in her eyes, and the words that came to her mouth became:
"Oh? It's not that the second aunt listened to the stubble, the second aunt, the niece didn't say to let the second aunt help, the niece just wanted to thank the second aunt for her concern. After saying this, she subconsciously glanced at Qiao Feng again, and saw Qiao Feng exhaling softly, as if she had let go of the big stone in her heart, which made her feel more curious.
"You kid, how can you have nothing to do with your second aunt to help, you look at the place where you live, it's small and remote, not to mention, there is not even a decent furnishing in the house, what if someone comes to your yard?" The second lady said in vain, and asked Xie Lingyun to make a request.
In this way, Xie Lingyun changed her mind instead, started Tai Chi with the second lady, and said lightly:
"The second aunt was surprised, although the yard where I live is a little remote, but I have always liked to be quiet, but I think this is a rare and good place, as for the furnishings in the house, hehe, it is not suitable for eating and not using, it is redundant to have, but it also occupies space, which is very good."
The second lady didn't believe it, but scoffed at this, "You kid is stupid, what is good here?" Hmph, I'm afraid it's all picked by others, and it was rewarded to you by your snarky mother, now, the second aunt is in charge, so why do you have to buy it neatly, come to someone, you also have a light on your face, isn't it? ”
Xie Lingyun shook her head amusedly, and said: "What can I do with the light on my face, the days are not the same, the rice is not the same, and it will not be one day longer than others, eat a few more bowls of rice than others, and those who are content are always happy, I think this is very good, so you don't have to worry about the second aunt." ”
