023 Happy Homecoming
The Wang family came back the next day when the weather turned clear, Xie Wan happened to be waiting for Xie Lang to get out of school at the second gate, and the cars of people couldn't hide their joy, and Xie Wan couldn't help but smile and asked: "Mrs. kicked the gold ingots on the road?" ”
The Wang family may be reluctant to Xie Lang, but he still puts on a loving face in front of Xie Wan. She smiled: "It's not that I kicked the gold ingot, it's the eldest aunt of the Ren family who picked up the treasure!" The eldest aunt took the road of the military department last month and entered the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division as the deputy commander, Mrs. Ren didn't believe it, and kept suppressing it and didn't say anything until the eldest aunt and grandmother of the Ren family came back to Nanyuan yesterday to celebrate her birthday, and this matter was opened! ”
Xie Wan looked at her with a smile, and then said, "This eldest aunt of the Ren family has been promoted, and isn't it the third uncle who has been promoted, so it has a lot to do with us?" ”
The Wang family and the Huang family looked at each other and smiled, and said, "The Xie Ren family is close, so it is naturally related. You're too young to understand this, and you can't tell you what to say. ”
Xie Wan rolled his eyes and clapped his hands: "I know!" As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials, and if the eldest aunt of the Ren family becomes an official, he will definitely bring the third uncle by the way, right? It would be great if the third uncle was recommended in advance before he could finish the house! ”
After all the disciples in the family were Confucius and Mencius, Xie Qigong wanted to make Xie Fu among the official families, and now these words came out of Xie Wan's mouth, and no one was surprised, I just thought that I had heard my father and brother mention it a lot on weekdays, and I just knew a little bit about it.
Wang's family was laughing, and Xie Wan was laughing.
Zeng Mi is just a declining lord, and Xie Rong was born a scholar, arrogant, and wants to be a famous minister, where would he bow his head to meet Zeng Mi who is on the top of the throne by his connections? What's more, the Yamen of the Five Officers and Soldiers is not as well-behaved as the Shuntian Mansion, not only does Xie Rong not want to have anything to do with those people, but most of the literati in the DPRK and China disdain it.
Xie Fu is not as fatherly and filial as she seems, and she is not as gentle and harmless as she seems. While accumulating strength, she did not hesitate to plant a few seeds of contradiction between the people of the Xie Mansion from time to time, watching them take root and sprout.
With her against the entire Xie Mansion, the competition is simply everywhere.
Xie Wan heard that Xie Lang had returned to the room, so he also resigned from the upper room.
The Wang family sent others down, leaving the Huang family alone, and said with a smile: "Where did Brother Lang get this news, do you know?" ”
Huang said: "My daughter-in-law didn't know, but I didn't hear it from Sister Wan that day." At that time, I didn't pay attention to it, thinking about where there was a truth that we didn't know, but let the children know first? I was afraid that Sister Wan would be too careful, so I didn't dare to ask. How do you know that this trip to Renfu really confirms this thing. ”
Wang frowned and pondered, and said for a moment: "It's right not to ask, the two children in the second room are really capable." But you should have told me beforehand, so you should be prepared. Now we are left to see the third prince of the Guangenbo Mansion empty-handed, and if we are rude in front of people, we will not be able to ask for anything in the future. ”
Huang's jaw said yes, and lowered his eyes to look at the ground.
Wang didn't look at her, but said: "No matter what, the Ren family and our family are still close, and the children of the two families also get along well, don't the third sons of their family like to play with a few buddies?" If it's okay, let my brother invite him to come to the house to play. The Ren family has always had dealings with the government, and Rong'er didn't talk about him in Beijing, if they could help Hong'er find an errand in the yamen, it would be a great merit. ”
Huang's eyebrows were cold, and he nodded: "My daughter-in-law knows." ”
Wang waved his hand and said, "Go back to the room and rest." Call in Tuesday's house. ”
Tuesday's house came in.
Wang said: "The second room has been operating outside the house for so many years, and I think I have some of my own news channels. You ask people to keep an eye on Brother Lang to see who he is in contact with on weekdays. And then there are three grandmothers over there......"
Huang returned to the room, and his heart was like being stuffed with Ma Tuan'er.
Mama Qi said angrily: "Mrs. is really a little confused!" Who is more reliable, the uncle or the third master? Now that there is a ready-made son of an official, she doesn't help climb up, but thinks about how to get an errand for the eldest son who only knows how to eat and drink, and begs for tricks! Thanks to our preparations, Mrs. Ren congratulated her great-aunt behind her back, otherwise, if you let Mrs. give the gift out, wouldn't it be a loss for Mrs. and a soldier, but a wedding dress for the long house? ”
Huang frowned and was silent.
Mama Qi persuaded: "Grandma doesn't have to take it to heart, in short, our third master is definitely stronger than the uncle, if the wife wants to be eccentric, let her be eccentric, in the future, we have to see who the master will rely on to support her in the end!" ”
Huang was silent for a long time, and sighed: "You don't know that the third master is the person, the word filial piety is put in the front, that is, no matter how partial she is, the third master will not treat her well." ”
This time, Mama Qi was speechless.
Huang said: "You go get a pen and paper, and I'll write a letter to him." ”
After an autumn rain and a cold, by the time the two plane trees in the Yifeng Courtyard also began to lose their leaves, it was already possible to eat hot pot.
Xie Wan asked Wu Xing to build a small stove under the wall of the small courtyard behind, boiling some hot soup and porridge on weekdays, and when the autumn rain rose again, she asked Wu's mother to take out the small copper hot pot brought by Huangshi Town, and then asked Yuxue to go to the big kitchen to cut a few catties of lamb leg meat and some mushroom lettuce meatballs or something, and play hot pot in Baoxia.
Just as the cat was swallowing at the mutton soup tumbling in the pot by the small charcoal stove, Yufang walked in, "The third grandmother is sick." I heard that the third master came from the Beijing division of the letter, I don't know what to write, the third grandmother saw the letter and cried for a long time, and then had a headache and a hot body, so she invited the doctor to come over, and the eldest girl fed the medicine and ate it, and then fell asleep. ”
Yufang's affairs are becoming more and more detailed now, Xie Wan took the copper chopsticks in his hand and dialed the charcoal fire in the stove, and said, "You will personally boil some lily porridge at noon tomorrow, and we will go over and take a look at it in the next morning." ”
Yufang said: "Aren't you going to go last day?" ”
"No, don't go," Xie Wan put the copper chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal." ”
Since Xie Rong and the Huang family have a very good relationship, they will not write a letter to the Huang family for no reason, and now there is no major incident in the house, the Huang family has always been virtuous, and there is only one possibility for him to do this, that is, the Huang family wrote a letter to suggest to him to take the road of Guangenbo Mansion. Even if Zeng Mi is appointed as the deputy commander, he may not be able to eat much in the court, and the Huang family probably mentioned it, so that Xie Rong could keep an eye on the communication.
But as everyone knows, what she did was the most likely thing to disgust Xie Rong. Because once they get in front of Zeng Mi, no matter whether they succeed in the end or not, as long as Xie Rong gains a firm foothold in the court in the future, this past is tantamount to putting gold on the face of Guangenbofu, a person like Xie Rong is determined to win the throne, with this stain, how can he continue to be his noble celebrity?
In fact, when Xie Wan mentioned Zeng Mi to the Huang family at the beginning, she was not sure whether Xie Rong's final intention would be as she thought, and she would not hesitate to refuse to take this path, but it was precisely because she was uncertain that she needed to confirm it. Revealing this layer of information to the Huang family is just that she is throwing stones to ask for directions, and to understand how Xie Rong will respond.
Why did the little ants break the embankment? It is because of the accumulation of these inconspicuous bits and pieces that the final success has been achieved.
Xie Wan's advantage is that she can know some things that others can't predict, and it would be a pity if she didn't take advantage of it.
The hot pot was a pleasure.
How rare is the opportunity to be reborn, if you don't have to eat happily, let yourself play the world, and enjoy this extra blessing of a lifetime, wouldn't it be in vain to waste God's mind? So, because he ate too much, he slept late, and when he got up in the morning, Luo Sheng had been waiting in the hugging building for a long time.
Luo Sheng waited until she finished eating a hot bowl of Jinhua ham stewed noodles and a bowl of chicken soup before seeing her.
"I'm sorry." She sat down apologetically behind the bookcase. In order to match her height, the book case is used by the Wei and Jin celebrities, and she sits on the brocade mat, showing that she is a little casual and atmospheric.
"You're here for the shop." She said straight to the point, while opening the thick book on the case, "I have thought about your words carefully these days, and I feel that it is impossible to support our expenses with such a small income. Now it's nothing for us to eat and use in the house, but after my brother was admitted to the middle school entrance examination, the day of using the money came. If you want to invite Xixi, you have to invite the master of art, you have to enter Beijing, and you have to prepare for the exam. It won't be long before the time comes to get married. ”
Speaking of this, she glanced at Luo Sheng. The corners of Luo Sheng's mouth really smiled.
She cleared her throat and said with a straight face: "It is a matter of course for men to marry women, what is there to joke about." Saying so much means, I don't think it's enough to just open the shop in Plum Hutong. ”
Luo Sheng sat up straight, indicating that he was listening.
Xie Wan pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to take back all the four shops in my hand and run the silk by myself." I've checked, one of the two in Qingyuan Prefecture expires a year ago, the other is in March next year, and the one in Yangliu Hutong in Qinghe County expires in September, so we can at least fully open before next winter.
"The two shops in Qingyuan Prefecture are all purchased from Jiangnan, the goods must be good, and the price must be fair, and the two shops in Qinghe County are still dominated by mid-range silk cloth for the time being. In addition, I remember that the shops in Yellowstone were quite cheap, and there were no shops selling silk cloth, so you went there and rented one on the street first, and sold the remaining goods from the four shops at a low price. ”
Luo Sheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said, "The girl wants to do her own business?" ”
Xie Wan closed the book and glanced at him, "Can't you?" ”
Luo Sheng subconsciously shook his head, but immediately said, "Is the girl sure?" ”
"If you don't grasp it, don't you know if you do it?" She smiled and said.
