Chapter 69: Lifting the Lockdown
This time, Xie Kai is even more incomprehensible, how did she play chess like this? Maybe it's true, and it's not necessarily that you don't have talent.
Xie Wanqing is a girl, Xie Kai didn't expect her to be very good, so he didn't talk about her, just laughed and told her not to play chess with others in the future, otherwise she would run away.
Xie Wanqing looked at him with an angry face when she heard this, "Father, as Mr. said, as long as you are diligent, you can always achieve your goal." Although my talent is not as good as that of my younger brother, I can learn. β
Xie Huaiying is a prodigy praised by all the gentlemen in Shouxi Academy, and she dares to compare with him.
Xie Kai only felt naΓ―ve when he heard her say this, pinched her face and said, "Okay, study hard that night, and surpass your bad brother another day." β
Since Xie Wanqing wants to learn, he won't stop her, and one day, she will give up when she realizes the gap.
Father and daughter had a calm and pleasant afternoon.
After dinner, Xie Kai went back.
Out of Xie Wanqing's courtyard, I saw Aunt Fang standing under the porch, the night wind was slightly cool, and the lantern emitted a dim pale yellow halo, reflecting on her face, even after nearly ten years, she seemed to be still the same as she was back then, only with some more mature woman's charm.
Xie Kai couldn't help but stop for a while.
"Sir." Aunt Fang saluted him, bowing her head to reveal her snow-satin neck.
Xie Kai finally stayed in Aunt Fang's yard.
"Why haven't I seen you for a few days?" Xie Kai asked suspiciously.
Aunt Fang usually sends him some tonic decoctions from time to time and sends them to the study. He was too busy these days to notice that Aunt Fang hadn't been there for a few days, and now when he saw her, he immediately remembered it.
Aunt Fang's red lips opened lightly, and she was about to speak, when the maid on the side knelt down with a "plop".
"Master, my aunt is being grounded!"
This made Xie Kai startled for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" β
The old lady has always been in charge of the affairs in the backyard, and Xie Kai doesn't know what she has done to be grounded.
"It's because of the second lady's business,......" the maid cried while complaining: "The second lady almost had an accident that day, and after coming back, the old lady knew, and somehow she was angry with the aunt and the eldest lady, and now the aunt and the eldest lady are grounded, and they are not allowed to step out of the yard without the order of the old lady." β
"How so?" The old lady's temperament Xie Kai knows, and she has always had clear rewards and punishments, how could she be angry with Aunt Fang and Xie Wanyun for no reason, and besides, listening to the maid's meaning, it seems that Xie Wanqing played a role in this, but Aunt Fang and Xie Wanyun are Xie Wanqing's biological mother and her sister, can she still sue the old lady to harm them?
"The old lady doesn't have to worry about me, the old lady is the most fair, and now she is just angry for a while, and it will be good if her temper subsides in a few days." Aunt Fang comforted him.
Xie Kai couldn't figure out what was in it for a while, and when he saw that Aunt Fang still came to persuade herself despite her red eyes, he felt infinitely wronged for her.
took Aunt Fang's hand and said, "Tomorrow I will go to plead with my mother, if I wait until she is angry, I don't know when I will wait." The day after tomorrow is her birthday, you and Wan Yun always have to come out to meet guests, she is ten years old, and in a few years she will have to see others, and she can't stay in the house all the time. β
When he saw Xie Wanqing today, he couldn't help but feel guilty about his two daughters, so he thought of this.
Aunt Fang was moved to tears for a while: "Thanks to the master, it was the concubine who was not thoughtful and almost missed the eldest lady." β
Look at the beauty under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more beautiful it becomes. Aunt Fang was born beautiful, and now the pear blossoms crying with rain make people feel pity.
Xie Kai stretched out his hand and hugged the person tightly in his arms, comforting him softly.
The maid who had been kneeling on the ground had already retreated with interest.
One night, the red waves were turned, and the spring night tent was warm.
After breakfast on the second day, Xie Kai left.
"Auntie is really clever." Last night's maid flattered.
When Xie Wanqing came back, he was prepared, and first asked people to drag Xie Kai's little servant and prevent him from telling him the news that Xie Wanqing was in danger. When the old lady's punishment comes down, and after two days, her anger will almost disappear, and then let people inform Xie Kai of Xie Wanqing's matter, Xie Kai will definitely come to visit, and Xie Wanqing's yard is in her yard, as long as Xie Kai comes, she will not worry about not being able to keep him.
The next thing is the matter of Xie Kai and the old lady.
And she just needs to sit in the yard and wait.
I have to say that it is indeed a good calculation.
"Still not going to work?" Aunt Fang pretended to be angry.
The maid naturally saw it, and saluted: "The slave and maid will go now, aunt don't be angry, otherwise the master will come over to coax me again." β
"I think I've been too indulgent lately, you dare to make fun of me!" Aunt Fang raised her eyelids to look at her.
"Yes, yes, it's the slave and the maid who are presumptuous, and the slave and the maid know that they are wrong, so they go to work." Saying that, he ran away with a puff of smoke.
Xie Wanqing was not much surprised when she knew that Xie Kai was staying in Aunt Fang's house, she was currently living in a courtyard with Aunt Fang, and Aunt Fang would please Xie Kai, but now she was grounded, if she wanted to find rescue, only Xie Kai, this was something she had known for a long time.
"Yuexin, come with me to say hello to the old lady." Xie Wanqing called someone, and the two hurried to the old lady's yard.
When they arrived, sure enough, Xie Kai was already there.
The old lady sat on it with an angry face, and Xie Kai looked helpless and impatient.
"What's the matter, what's the matter with my grandmother and father?" Greeting the two, Xie Wanqing asked curiously.
"What's more, your father wants me to untie Aunt Fang and your sister's grounding." The teacup in the old lady's hand was put on the table and snorted coldly.
Xie Kai didn't expect the old lady to refuse to send her mouth like this, when he came, he asked Aunt Fang and Xie Wanyun why they were grounded, and the old lady said that it was because Xie Wanqing was going to Hanshan Temple to pray for her, and she originally asked Aunt Fang and Xie Wanyun to go together, but the two of them said that there was something, and in the end only Xie Wanqing was left.
Who knew that on the way back, Xie Wanqing was in danger again, Xie Wanqing almost lost her life, and the old lady felt that if there were many people who went at the beginning, then the guards of the Anyang Hou Mansion would inevitably bring a lot of them, and they might not be able to fight those bandits.
In Xie Kai's view, this is nothing more than anger.
Angry that Xie Wanyun and Aunt Fang were unwilling to pray for her, and Xie Wanqing was in danger later, the old lady took her anger out on the two of them.
This is completely vexatious!
He knew that the old lady had always valued her concubines and looked down on her aunt and the like, but he didn't expect the old lady to be so unreasonable this time, but as a junior, he naturally couldn't refute what the old lady did wrong.
can only persuade: "Mother is not in a hurry to be angry these days, Wan Yun is ten years old this year, and in a few years she will reach the age of talking about marriage, and it is time for her to meet those wives, and Aunt Fang is her biological mother, if she does not appear at her mother's birthday tomorrow, she will inevitably be criticized." β
Seeing that the old lady's face was slightly softened, he said again: "Wan Yun is also your granddaughter, I believe that my mother also hopes that she can marry a good family." β
It doesn't matter if Xie Wanyun marries a good family or not, it matters how much help she can bring to the Hou Mansion of Anyang.
The old lady squinted and pondered for a while, Xie Kai's words did make sense, and she had already thought of it, the reason why she bit and refused to let go was just to wait for Xie Wanqing to come.
After all, the grounding between Aunt Fang and Xie Wanyun is also related to Xie Wanqing.
If she let go of her promise at will today, it is inevitable that Xie Wanqing will have a mustard in her heart. The reason why the grounding order was issued at the beginning was to give Aunt Fang and the others a warning, and the other was just to give Xie Wanqing an explanation.
Aunt Fang is trapped, and she will inevitably ask Xie Kai for help, and if Xie Wanqing is obedient, she naturally knows what she should do.
"Grandmother, what my father said is not unreasonable, for the sake of my sister, I also asked my grandmother to temporarily lift their grounding." Xie Wanqing answered.
Xie Kai looked at her with relief: "Wanqing is sensible." β
Xie Wanqing only maintained the posture of talking to the old lady, and did not talk.
She said that they were temporarily lifted from their grounding, but she didn't say that the old lady would release them after her birthday.
Sure enough, the old lady understood what she meant, squinted her eyes and said, "Since you are pleading one by one, then let them come out for two days first." β
As he spoke, he ordered Mama Xin to go down.
Xie Kai didn't expect the old lady to be so careful, but he didn't want to say more, so he just thanked him and went down.
