Chapter 26 - The matter is decided
The three-legged carved flower and grass pattern incense burner on the table is lit with incense, wisps of green smoke curl up from under the perforated dome, and light chrysanthemum is combined with the sweet fragrance of herbs, and the fragrance fills the room.
Xiao Shi sat on the couch, and Cha Xiang knelt on the side to press Xiao Shi's leg. After Huaxi came in, he saw Xiao Shi closing his eyes, so he quietly walked over to replace the tea fragrance.
"Well, it's good today." Xiao Shi opened his eyes and saw Huaxi kneeling in the position of the tea fragrance just now, "It turned out to be Huaxi." I said how it was different. Get up, don't kneel. ”
"It is right to serve the old lady." Huaxi didn't get up, knelt down and took a step back, kowtowing to Xiao, "It's all because Huaxi is not good, and you didn't discipline your subordinates well, so you were disturbed last night and didn't sleep well." ”
"What do you do, you child? I'm not in the way, the tiger will still doze off, let alone a person, you have just returned home, and I can't complain about you. Look at what, don't help the girl up. Xiao sat up, and Cha Xiang went over to help Huaxi get up.
"Old Madam Xie." Huaxi sat down on the circle chair, and Wang's mother came back from Yin's.
Xiao Shi asked the eldest grandmother how she was doing.
Wang's mother replied: "The girl from Huaxi is kind-hearted, and she pleaded in front of the eldest grandmother. The eldest grandmother did as the girl wanted, and Chun Tao privately took the girl's personal belongings to meet the foreign man, slapped the board, and sent the house to the Wu family boy. Wu Yushun's family education is not strict, except for the position of steward, for the sake of his honesty and diligence on weekdays, he still stays in the house as an errand. ”
Xiao Shi frowned, then turned to Huaxi with a smile and said, "You were wronged last night. It's hard for you to know the general situation so well at a young age, and you are worried about the Mu family. Although I am old, I am not confused, I am not blind or deaf, and I know in my heart. You relax, don't get along with yourself. ”
Huaxi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the old lady did not suspect that this matter had something to do with her, this matter would be passed.
"Yes. There is another thing, Huaxi wants to ask the old lady for permission. ”
"What?"
Huaxi straightened up and said to Xiao: "It will be fifteen in a few days, and I heard that the government invited the masters of Puji Temple to do things for Hou Ye." Huaxi copied two scriptures by hand, and wanted to ask the masters to bring them back to help Nian Nian, one of which Huaxi wanted to burn to the old man's house during the 100-day worship, and the other wanted to be used on the mother's death day. Also, Huaxi wants to offer an everlasting lamp to her mother in Puji Temple. After my mother passed away, I was thinking about it all the time, but I didn't have a chance......"
Huaxi lowered her head and wiped the moist corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Come and sit with my grandmother." Xiao beckoned, I don't know what it feels like, when the old marquis was alive, his granddaughters and grandchildren often talked about filial piety, but when people went, hey...... It's not as good as the granddaughter who picked up from the mountains.
Huaxi sniffled and sat down beside Xiao Shi according to his words.
Xiao Shi hugged Huaxi, "Don't cry." It's rare for you to have this filial piety, I'm approved. I will leave this matter to Mother Wang, and you can go back and ask the maid to send the scriptures over. ”
Huaxi nodded vigorously, choked with tears in her eyes, and said, "Hmm." Niang didn't wait for Huaxi to grow up and do her filial piety in front of her and left, but Huaxi remembered her voice and smile clearly, and always remembered it...... Huaxi knew that the old lady wanted me to recognize me under the name of an uncle for my sake. But somehow, Huaxi often dreams of her mother recently...... After thinking about it, Huaxi wants to beg your old man to take back his life. Huaxi wants to be Mu Xiangwan's daughter in this life, and she doesn't want to recognize others as her mother anymore. ”
Huaxi thought of her parents in her previous life, remembered Mu Xiangwan, and remembered that she was being used and calculated in the Hou Mansion during this time, and she was sad and aggrieved, she pretended to cry, but in the end she really cried.
"Hey, good boy, pitiful, crying makes people feel sorry. Don't worry, let Grandmother think again. ”
Huaxi cried for a while, feeling much better, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Old lady, most of these people are high and low, when all parties come to congratulate everyone, when they are in trouble, there is no telling how many people want to stab a knife in the back and fall into the well. Even if the matter of Chengjue is decided, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will be jealous and secretly evil. You need to know that everyone is golden, Huaxi's background is unknown, and now that she can return to the house, she is content, and she is afraid that she will not be able to be blessed with anything else, and it will affect the reputation of her uncles. I also ask the old lady that you can do it. ”
Huaxi was about to kneel down for the old lady again, but Xiao hurriedly stopped her.
Huaxi's words sounded touching, but they were not as to hit the nail on the head in the next few sentences.
In Xiao's eyes, bringing Huaxi back was the consideration of the old marquis to alleviate the crisis of the Mu family, although he later treated his daughter as the only bloodline because of guilt, everything he did was not for the reputation of the Mu Mansion in the future, so no matter when and where, the most important thing in her heart was the glory of the Mu family.
Xiao Shi glanced at Huaxi appreciatively, "You are still thoughtful." Well, my grandmother will promise you that she will not let you be recognized by your uncles. After all, in the early years, the Hou Ye had already claimed that your mother had died of illness, for the sake of your mother's reputation, so ...... It can only be said that you are a distant relative of the Mu family. Hey, I've always wronged you......"
Huaxi shook her head, "No, don't be wronged." It is already a blessing that Huaxi can be by the old lady's knees, and Huaxi is content. ”
"If you have anything in the future, just tell your grandmother, and your grandmother will make your decisions."
Huaxi saw that Xiao Shi responded, and her heart was relieved, and now the big house and the third room can finally stop for a while.
"Huaxi is from outside the house, and the rules have not yet been learned, and there are some things that need to be mentioned by the old lady. Just spring peach was released again, Hongliu couldn't be busy alone, and Lilac had to help make incense. Huaxi wanted to ask the old lady to reward two lovely ones, and many people reminded Huaxi when she made a mistake, lest Huaxi do something wrong again. ”
Xiao Shi looked at Huaxi more and more satisfied, "It's time to add two people to your house." That's good, Cui Ming in my house is doing things safely, let her go to your garden. After waiting for fifteen, let Wang's mother buy two from outside. ”
Huaxi knew that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, so she said goodbye to the Xiao family, took Cui Ming back to Qixia Garden, and handed it over to Hongliu for placement.
On July 15, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, Mu Tianhe, died in March, and the King of Thailand entered the palace to meet the emperor. On the twenty-fifth, Emperor Chengtai asked for a decree that Mu Tian and his eldest son Mu Jizhong inherited the position of marquis.
Since the death of Mu Tianhe, the Mu family finally ushered in the first great event, and the whole house swept away the depressed atmosphere of the past. There were many people from outside the house who came to congratulate them. Mu Jizhong, who was in the period of filial piety, was also radiant, but he didn't dare to behave too publicly, and even Mu Jiren, who was grounded, was released by Xiao.
The house was busy, from time to time there were noble ladies coming to the door, Xiao Shi was overwhelmed, exempted from the backyard of the invitation, Huaxi was happy, borrowed "Mountains and Rivers" from the four girls, and stayed in the yard to read books and make incense.
At the end of the month, according to the old lady's instructions, Wang's mother brought people and ten girls to ask Huaxi to choose people.
