CHAPTER XVI
When the time for luncheon came, Webster and Tian sent people over twice, but they couldn't invite Mrs. Xie. The people who came back couldn't say anything, only thanked the people around the old lady for explaining, the old lady was really unhappy, I was afraid that I couldn't come out to have fun with the big guys, so they could even entertain the guests wholeheartedly.
"The old lady is uncomfortable and resting, but why is she even missing the second sister-in-law?" When the two of them walked back, Webster said to Tian suspiciously.
"Mrs. Yang didn't come back after she was invited." Tian whispered thoughtfully.
"Speaking of which, recently, I always feel that the second sister-in-law seems to be much closer to the Yang family than before, not only Mrs. Yang comes over, but even the second sister-in-law often goes out." Wei Shi said and rolled his eyes, and then glanced at Tian. Tian was hooked out of the curiosity that pressed in his heart, so he couldn't help but say: "Although the Yang family and the Mo family have already made a marriage, has the third sister-in-law heard some words?" ”
"What?" Merriam-Webster asked knowingly.
"Didn't the four girls go to the courtyard on the side of Slender Lake last month, in that part of Slender Lake, in addition to a courtyard in our Xie Mansion, there is also a courtyard on the Mo family's side nearby, I heard that in the past few days of our four girls, Yang Gongzi happened to be a guest in the Mo family's courtyard." When Tian said this, he glanced at Wei, "And it's strange to say that the four girls were originally followed by two maids, but when they came back, there was only one left." ”
"The second sister-in-law's heart is careful...... Wei Shi smiled, glanced at Tian, and then shook the fan to the guests, and did not continue the topic.
On Mrs. Xie's side, Xie Yueniang had already woken up from the fainting and replied to Yan's and Mrs. Xie's words respectively. Yan sat down on the chair weakly, and said for a long time: "It's the daughter-in-law who can't discipline her." ”
Old Mrs. Xie sat there with a cold face, her chest rose and fell for half an hour before she could barely suppress her anger, her eyes were withdrawn from Xie Yueniang, who was like ashes, and turned to Mrs. Yang: "So, the Yang family will definitely take back the Mo family's marriage book?" ”
Mrs. Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, old lady, this is also what my master means." ”
Old Mrs. Xie's eyes narrowed: "What if the Mo family doesn't agree?" ”
Mrs. Yang was slightly stunned, but immediately said: "The twisted melon is not sweet, the Mo family will know about this ceremony, and besides, my Yang family has no intention of treating him badly to the Mo family." ”
Mrs. Xie then asked: "I'm old and don't want to toss around, when can you give me this old bone a letter?" ”
Mrs. Yang said carefully: "In the past two days, as soon as the matter over there is over, I will immediately hire the fourth girl, and the Yang family will never be wronged by the fourth girl." ”
Old Madam Xie looked at Mrs. Yang for a while, and then said slowly: "How could that jade pendant be in the hands of the people of Changchun Courtyard?" is still such a merry sister. ”
Mrs. Yang's heart jumped, and she paused before whispering: "Zisi and a few friends from my classmates have set up a poetry club, and occasionally invite each other to go over there for a few drinks and comment on poems and ......lyrics."
"It's elegant!" Old Madam Xie snorted, and said lukewarmly, "There should be a morning banquet outside, you can go." ”
So can it be regarded as getting Mrs. Xie's approval? Mrs. Yang glanced at Yan's side, only to see Yan nodding slightly at her, she was relieved in her heart, and she blessed her apologetically, and then gently retreated. After Mrs. Yang left, Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Yueniang, who had lost two souls of the three souls, and said: "Your mother was a sensible maid by my side back then, how could you give birth to such an ignorant thing, in vain I have always felt sorry for you!" ”
Yan stood aside and didn't dare to pick up the stubble, and Xie Yueniang didn't speak, just shed tears. Mrs. Xie was full of fire in her belly, but because there were guests outside, this was a big scandal, so she had to endure it. It's just that she is old, and she has done her best to be able to ask and answer questions and answers with Mrs. Yang so calmly, so after Mrs. Yang left, Mrs. Xie's face quickly deteriorated. Yan was startled, and was about to call the old mother outside to come in and serve, but Mrs. Xie raised her hand to stop her, and then said to Xie Yueniang: "For the sake of your dead mother, I have fulfilled your heart, but after this, it depends on your own creation." ”
After Mrs. Xie finished speaking, she waved her hand and let her out.
Yan knew that Old Lady Xie didn't want to look at Xie Yueniang more at this time, so she went over and pulled her face to help Xie Yueniang up, and at the same time called the maid outside to come in. After sending Xie Yueniang back, Yan had a cold face, frowned, sighed in annoyance, and hurriedly returned to Mrs. Xie.
"I don't care if you really didn't know or fake before this, after all, you pay careful attention to her body during this time, the Xie family can't afford to lose this face!" Old Mrs. Xie was half-lying on the bed, staring at Yan and commanding word by word, "She is in your name, if something goes wrong, you won't be able to look good, and there are a few little girls below, you have to handle this matter safely no matter what." ”
"My daughter-in-law understands." Yan lowered his face and responded respectfully.
Old Mrs. Xie closed her eyes and sighed: "The daughter of the Mo family is now sixteen, and she will not easily agree to withdraw from her family, if the Yang family is in a hurry, something may happen." ”
Yan Shi said carefully: "We can't care so much now, just let the Yang family solve the matter, in the final analysis, it is also a matter between the two of them." ”
Old Mrs. Xie opened her eyes and looked at her: "Do you think Xie Fu can clean himself?" Hmph, the Yang family now wants to climb the high branches, but his family has been close to the Mo family, otherwise they would not have married the two children since they were young. And that Mo Li, don't you see it, what kind of person is that, that look is so good that even my old woman likes it. At the moment, I don't know if the children of their two families are close, in case the kid surnamed Yang is not strict, as long as he reveals something, this will tear out a hole, and as soon as the words are spread, where do you let our Xie family's face go! ”
Yan had always thought that this matter had been done strictly, but now that Old Lady Xie said this, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive: "What is the old lady going to do?" ”
"If the Mo family can have a good life, they will not have to worry if they agree to quit this family." Mrs. Xie leaned on the bed and thought for a while, then turned her head to look at Yan again, and said slowly, "Speaking of which, Brother Shi is nineteen years old this year, and the family you told him last year was not decided in the end." ”
Yan was stunned: "The old lady didn't plan to ......" Old lady Xie mentioned this matter too suddenly, and she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart for a while. Xie Tianshi is also the young master of the second room, the fifth in line, born to his aunt, although he has been raised by her side since he was a child, but he is not very close to her. But even so, she wouldn't want to tell this concubine such a kiss.
"That girl looks good, and her temperament is good, she should be the first time to participate in such a banquet, but she doesn't see the slightest restraint in her whole person." Old Mrs. Xie paused as she spoke, and then asked Yan, "But in the end, you are Brother Shi'er's mother-in-law, what do you think?" But wronged him? ”
"This ......" Yan thought for a while, then looked at Mrs. Xie hesitantly and said, "This, my daughter-in-law doesn't know if it's right or not." If there is no such thing, since the old lady likes that girl, it is also his blessing to say that it is Brother Shi'er, but at the moment, this ......"
"It's safer to put people in the house than to put them outside." Old Mrs. Xie said lightly, Yan was stunned for a moment, and then understood. It's just that she thought about it, and still felt that it was inappropriate for her, so she said carefully: "Since the old lady has this meaning, then there is no one more suitable person in our Xie Mansion than Brother Shi at the moment." ”
"Who?"
"Brother Shi'er, his sixth uncle, Yuan Bai won the crown the year before last, but his lifelong event, the eldest uncle doesn't seem to care much about it. The old lady is his aunt, and if she is the master for him, presumably the eldest uncle will not object. ”
