Chapter 36: Seon Loses His Horse
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
The weather was just right on this day, and Xie Wanqing received a post, which was sent by Sun Xiaoxiao, who she had met at the Discernment Conference before. said that the two met that day, Sun Xiaoxiao felt that she had a similar temper, and now she hasn't seen her for a long time, so she invited her to the General's Mansion for tea.
Xie Wanqing is worried that she has no connections, and she naturally will not refuse the good things that are sent to the door now, and Sun Xiaoxiao is straightforward and lively, and the two of them do chat.
So I took the post and went to ask the old lady, and the old lady just casually asked a few words about how she and Sun Xiaoxiao met, and agreed after learning about the situation.
There are no concubines in the Hou Mansion of Anyang, so the old lady's communication with concubines is a little relaxed. As long as it does not damage the interests and reputation of the Hou Mansion of Anyang, how Xie Wanqing and Xie Wanyun get along with the girls of other families is their own business, and the old lady turns a blind eye, and only waits for the future to pick out one of them to be a daughter under the Ye family.
Xie Wanqing took the post back to the courtyard, and was about to send someone to inform the little servant of the General's Mansion who was waiting at the door, asking him to tell Sun Xiaoxiao that he would go to the appointment as scheduled.
saw Aunt Fang stepping on the lotus step in.
"Wanqing, this is just coming back from the old lady?"
"Yes." Xie Wanqing nodded. Sun Xiaoxiao's post is still in her hands, and she will definitely not escape Aunt Fang's eyes. Instead of waiting for Aunt Fang to suspect that she was hiding her after reading the post, it is better to take the initiative to tell the matter herself, and maybe she can also eliminate Aunt Fang's suspicions.
Therefore, Xie Wanqing said generously: "I just wanted to send a maid to inform my aunt, but a friend handed me a post today, and I just asked the old lady, and I have already been agreed, and I want to send someone to reply to her." ”
Xie Wanqing didn't want Aunt Fang to know about Sun Xiaoxiao, so she only said that it was a friend of hers.
But she was raised in the Hou Mansion of Anyang since she was a child, and she grew up as Aunt Fang's child, and she basically never left the house until she was seven years old, where did she come from? The only possibility is someone you knew at the last discernment meeting.
And it is said that most of the people who participated in the discernment conference were the sons of rich and noble families, Aunt Fang naturally couldn't let it go, Xie Wanyun is ten years old this year, and she will see others in a few years, and it's time.
"Oh? I don't know which noble girl it is? Aunt Fang took her to the side and sat down, and said, "Can Aunt Fang take a look at this post?" ”
This is testing her, Xie Wanqing naturally won't say no, anyway, there are no unsightly words written on the post, the only thing she doesn't want Aunt Fang to know is Sun Xiaoxiao's identity, and the post is stamped with the private seal of the General's Mansion, so Aunt Fang knows everything at a glance.
This is also something that Xie Wanqing can't stop, the only thing she is unwilling to do is that her strength is still not enough to compete with her, so she has to live by looking at her face.
Aunt Fang took the post from Xie Wanqing's hand, and only saw the private seal of the General's Mansion on it with a cursory glance. secretly wrote down Sun Xiaoxiao's name and asked, "Is Wanqing planning to go to the appointment alone?" ”
Xie Wanqing chuckled in her heart, and had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the next moment, I heard Aunt Fang say: "You are young and have never gone out of the house to a banquet." I'll let Wan Yun accompany you tomorrow. ”
Xie Wanqing hurriedly refused: "But my sister has been helping my grandmother copy Buddhist scriptures recently, I'm afraid I don't have time." ”
Since Xie Wanyun was questioned by the old lady in the Mid-Autumn Festival, she has been copying scriptures and sending them to the Buddhist hall every day, saying that she has been thinking about it.
said so, but Xie Wanqing knew that although the old lady did not punish Xie Wanyun last time, she was afraid that her indifference to the concubine would make her uncomfortable compared to any scolding.
How much Xie Wanyun hopes to get the position of concubine, no one knows better than Xie Wanqing.
But even if she was worried about the old lady looking down on her in her heart, she was very well-behaved and filial on the surface, which shows Xie Wanyun's forbearance, she is only ten years old, not to mention when she grows up.
No wonder she couldn't fight her in the previous life.
Aunt Fang shook her head indifferently and said, "She is your sister, and she is the same mother as you, so it is natural to take care of you." Later, my aunt will send someone to inform her. ”
This is a nice thing to say, but Aunt Fang only said this to Xie Wanqing, and Sun Xiaoxiao, who invited her, didn't know it at all. It doesn't matter whether people are willing to accept Xie Wanyun or not, they hurried up, if they could play with Xie Wanyun in one place, it would be good, if they disliked Xie Wanqing because of Xie Wanyun, then Aunt Fang would not lose.
The last thing she wants to see is that Xie Wanqing is friendly with other noble girls, once Xie Wanqing grows full, it will not be so easy to control at that time.
Xie Wanqing smiled and nodded.
Since Aunt Fang came up so much, then she might as well take it, anyway, in her opinion, Sun Xiaoxiao and Xie Wanyun may not be able to play together. Sun Xiaoxiao is a rectum, she doesn't like to read, and she hates twists and turns the most, if she can make friends with Xie Wanyun, then she should be friends at the Discernment Conference that day, and she doesn't have to wait until today.
After sending Aunt Fang away, Xie Wanqing sent someone to inform the little servant in the General's Mansion that Xie Wanyun would also go with her tomorrow.
Soon the next day, Xie Wanqing got up early and went to the Buddhist hall to copy the scriptures for a while, accompanied the old lady to have breakfast, and then prepared to leave.
General Sun's Mansion was not far from the Anyang Marquis Mansion, only one street away, so it was still early when the two arrived. The little servant was ordered to guard at the gate of the General's Mansion early in the morning, and as soon as he saw the carriage of the Marquis of Anyang, he immediately went in to inform Sun Xiaoxiao.
This is an invitation between the girls in the boudoir, so Xie Wanqing doesn't have to go to meet the old lady of the General's Mansion. only followed Sun Xiaoxiao to her yard. Xie Wanyun fell a few steps behind and fell last.
Sun Xiaoxiao was unhappy when she heard the little girl say that Xie Wanyun wanted to come together, she had seen Xie Wanyun at the Discernment Conference, a standard famous lady, and she had nothing to talk about. If the two of them chatted, it was estimated that Xie Wanyun would say that those books in the class could kill her, and she would only be angry and wanted to smash people with her fists.
Therefore, when she received Xie Wanyun at the door today, she didn't have a good face, but she was the daughter of the General's Mansion in the end, and the rules and politeness would not be bad, so she politely talked to her for a few words.
Who would have thought that on the way to Sun Xiaoxiao's yard, Xie Wanyun's words never stopped, asking Sun Xiaoxiao how old she was for a while, and asking her what she liked for a while, Sun Xiaoxiao had long been tired of it. Therefore, he pulled Xie Wanqing and walked a few steps quickly, making sure that Xie Wanyun couldn't hear them before whispering, "Why did you bring her?" ”
Xie Wanqing smiled when she saw this: "You don't like her?" ”
"It's weird to like it! She has a lot of problems, and she is annoyed! Sun Xiaoxiao pouted.
