Chapter 99: Family (1)
"Let's go to the banquet together, how about Master Xie go with us?"
In the face of the warm invitation of his colleagues, Xie Jun, who likes to drink and feast, did not respond, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry for you." I have to go home, and I won't go to the banquet. β
The wounds on the face have been mostly healed after a few days of applying good ointment.
Xie Jun went to Honglu Temple on an errand.
Fortunately, those who are in the officialdom are all sleek people, and no one will ask Xie Jun where the injury on his face came from. Xie Jun uncharacteristically refused to go to the banquet, and everyone tacitly thought that Xie Jun was in a hurry to go back to the county lord's mansion to coax the county lord Yongning.
After Xie Jun left, several officials got together and gossiped.
"In the past, I always envied Xie Junma, but now I know that Junma's life is not easy."
"Isn't it? A handsome face was beaten very lightly, it must have been careless in words and deeds, which angered the county lord. β
"Where is the soft rice so delicious."
It is said that women like to gossip, but in fact, when men get together, the degree of gossip is not weaker than that of women. Several officials squeezed their eyebrows, and their hearts swelled with the satisfaction of "seeing others feel better, and my heart is better".
"However, Xie Junma's daughter is really competitive." One of the officials opened his mouth to praise: "In one fell swoop, I won the first place in the Lianchi Academy and became a protΓ©gΓ© of the queen's mother." Even the granddaughter of Li Ge's old mansion was also crushed. β
Isn't it?
Xie Jun's good luck is really enviable. married the talented and beautiful lord of Yongning, and the daughter he gave birth to was also so face-convincing.
Miss Xie San's future is limitless. I can't say it, Xie Jun will be able to be promoted to a knighthood in the future by relying on his daughter.
The officials sighed and sighed, and then went to the restaurant.
β¦β¦
Xie Jun returned to the mansion, and it was already unitary time.
At this time, it was already dark, and wind lanterns were hung outside the gate of Xie's mansion. The porter opened the door attentively: "Master, my aunt has been waiting here for a long time." β
As soon as the words fell, Aunt Ding appeared in front of Xie Jun's eyes, and Ying Ying saluted: "I've seen the master." β
Aunt Ding is a beauty, and she has deliberately dressed up, and she looks more and more graceful and moving. At this time, he bent over and bowed, full of style.
Compared with the cold Yongning County Lord, Aunt Ding is as tender as water. In Aunt Ding, Xie Jun has the dignity of being a dignified seven-foot husband.
"Family, what do you do with such a lot of courtesy." Xie Jun stretched out his hand to help Aunt Ding up, and his palm fell on Aunt Ding's arm.
Aunt Ding glanced at her coquettishly, but she didn't dodge, but snuggled up and whispered, "My lord has been busy all day, he must be hungry." I had already instructed the kitchen to prepare the meals. How about the old man go to the Orchid Heung Courtyard to eat? β
Xie Jun was very useful, and nodded with a smile.
After returning to Xie Mansion, the county lord of Yongning was not there, and he was the master of the family. It's a beautiful feeling to be on top and influence others with your own joy and anger.
Aunt Ding was full of joy and smiled at the corner of her lips.
In the past, Xie Jun would always return home for a few days a month. I have never lived for many days in a row like this time. The county lord of Yongning, who was firmly pressing her, was not there, and her son Xie Yuanting returned to Xie Mansion every day, and he would also come to Lanxiangyuan for dinner in the evening......
For Aunt Ding, it was simply the best time of her life.
The only one who blocked his heart was Xie Mingxi.
But Xie Jun opened his mouth and mentioned: "Ming Niang should have left school and returned home a long time ago." Send someone to Chunjin Pavilion and ask her to come for dinner together. β
Aunt Ding couldn't laugh anymore, and replied sullenly: "Didn't you send someone to invite me?" She just won't come, what can I do. β
sent Wen Qi to Chunjin Pavilion, but he didn't even enter the courtyard gate, so he was sent back.
Xie Jun frowned: "Ming Niang, this girl, her temperament is too big. You too, you spoke and acted inappropriately a few days ago, which broke your daughter's heart. In the past few days, you should lower your body and coax Ming Niang well. Why are you still angry with your child? β
Aunt Ding looked resentful: "What the master said lightly." Where haven't I bowed my head? I went to Chunjin Pavilion again and again, but she didn't even see me. Do you want my mother to kneel down to her and beg for mercy? β
The daughter who used to be docile and obedient seems to have changed as a different person. Sharp and indifferent, turning his face ruthlessly.
Everything started because of the substitute exam.
But what's wrong with her? In that case, she could only beg her daughter to back down. Otherwise, what should Yuanting do?
Now that it's come to this point, I don't know what the Yongning County Lord will do...... She was worried and worried all day long. Where is the mood to coax Xie Mingxi?
Xie Jun also had a headache: "That's it, I'll go there myself." β
β¦β¦
After a cup of tea, Chunjin Pavilion.
ββ¦β¦ Ming Niang, she is your own mother, how long do you have to be angry with her? Xie Jun gently persuaded: "Come with me to Lanxiangyuan tonight, our family of four will sit together and have a dinner with Hemei." β
A family of four, and a beautiful one.
A hint of ridicule flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes, and his voice was faint: "No need." He smiled again: "The cook has prepared dinner, if the father feels sorry for his daughter, he will stay with his daughter to eat!" β
Xie Jun: "......"
"Today, the queen mother taught us for a day, and there are many interesting things, I just want to tell my father about it!" Xie Mingxi smiled and threw out the bait.
Xie Jun really responded immediately: "It's okay." β
Xie Mingxi curled the corners of his mouth and smiled very happily.
β¦β¦
Aunt Ding and Xie Yuanting were not so happy.
Xie Yuanting grimaced, and snorted unhappily: "Father is really partial, saying that he was going to call the third sister in person, but he ended up staying in Chunjin Pavilion." β
Aunt Ding was so depressed that she had to squeeze out a smile to coax Xie Yuanting: "I think your father has something to ask Mingniang, so I left for dinner." It's just right that they don't come, and our mother and son are happy and quiet. This table is full of your favorite dishes, and I'll make the dishes for you. β
Xie Yuanting's face sank, and there was a bit of anger in his voice: "What mother and son!" I've told you a few times, I'm the only son of the Xie family, and my mother-in-law is the county lord. As a concubine, how can you call yourself a mother? If it gets out, where will I put this face? How do you still associate with your classmates? β
Aunt Ding: "......"
Aunt Ding's eyes were full of water, and her face was full of grievances and embarrassment.
It's a pity that Xie Yuanting has no pity. Looking at Aunt Ding's crying appearance, there was only impatience and contempt in her heart.
The concubine room is the concubine room, and it cannot be put on the table. When you encounter anything, you will only cry and cry. Compared with the deep and powerful Yongning County Lord, he was immediately compared to the dust.
"I'm not hungry, I won't eat tonight."
Xie Yuanting got up and left.
Aunt Ding was shocked, she didn't dare to cry anymore and wipe her tears, so she grabbed Xie Yuanting's clothes: "Yuanting, don't be angry, don't go." I'm not going to say anything. You've had dinner before you go! β
It's a pity that Xie Yuanting didn't want to pay attention to it at all, so he just pulled away.
Leaving Aunt Ding, she wept at the table full of delicacies.
