Xie Wei returned to Guangenbo Mansion and went directly to Danhua Courtyard.
Since she came back from the county king's mansion, she didn't want to look at the mansion again. The Zeng family has been depressed for more than one or two generations, although it is still the regulation of the Xungui Mansion, but the door wall has not been overhauled for many years, and the vermilion lacquer under the corridor has begun to peel off in some places, and the back garden has been like those flowers and trees for decades. There used to be a few pairs of swans in the lake, but now there are only two left, like wild ducks.
It costs money to raise the house, and now the lords' fields have long been recovered, how can they afford this pomp and circumstance just by living on that little money?
The more the contrast, the more shabby it becomes. Xie Wei doesn't have to compare himself with Xie Wan, but this gap is too big, and it is unacceptable.
"Grandma, Grandma from the East, please come over."
The maid came in and said. The house called Ren Ruhua, who lived in the east, the grandmother in the east, Xie Wei heard that Ren Ruhua invited her, but she didn't pay attention to it, and took off her makeup in the mirror. The maid was silent, and then went out.
After taking off the makeup here, Ren Ruhua came in with Zeng Mi.
Ren Ruhua stepped into the door with two feet and asked, "Have you been to the Anmu Palace?" How was the conversation with the princess? ”
Xie Wei wanted to block her back, but when she saw her aggressive appearance, she changed her mind again. She first walked over and made a cup of tea for Zeng Mi, then made herself a cup too, sat down, and said, "What do we have to discuss?" But she also said, you are the original third grandmother of the Zeng family, and you let me go if you don't go, which shows that there is no sincerity. ”
Ren Ruhua saw that she didn't pour her own tea alone, and she didn't let her sit. couldn't hold it on his face for a long time, so he bit the end of her words and said, "What sincerity does she want?" Did you instigate something in front of her? ”
Xie Wei raised his eyebrows, "You don't dare to see her, you don't want to whisper to her, this is an obvious matter, do you need me to provoke?" People say that you are cowardly, you are really cowardly, don't you always remember that others have hurt Ren Jun? Let the Ren family end up faceless and skinless? Now that people are in front of you, why don't you dare to go? If it were me, I'd go up and slap her twice! ”
Ren Ruhua was so angry that his teeth itched. Although I heard Xie Wei's words, there was a sense of excitement. But she was still ashamed because she was picked open in public, she pointed at Xie Wei and glared at Zeng Mi and said, "What is she talking about?" Is there still me in my eyes? Master, you don't care? ”
Zeng Mi has been used to such quarrels for more than a year. On one side is his wife, who is in love with him. On one side is the flat wife he likes. He could not blame anyone, so he said calmly and slowly: "Okay, don't make any noise. You're older than her. Just let her go. ”
Ren Ruhua became even more angry when she heard this, this is obviously eccentric Xie Wei, but she really can't say the words of this favorite concubine and killing his wife! People are equal wives and not concubines, with this rule, what can she do with her?
She snorted heavily, brushed her sleeves and walked out the door.
Zeng Mi sighed, stood up, looked back at Xie Wei, finally turned around and sat down, and said, "Princess Anmu really said to let Ruhua pass?" ”
Xie Wei stood up and entered the back room with a heavy face.
Ren Ruhua returned to the room, sat on the soft bed, and his heart was like the firewood burning in the stove on Chinese New Year's Eve, whirring upward.
She knew that Xie Wei was deliberately provoking her, but she still felt aggrieved, she didn't know Xie Wan, but judging from her actions over the years, maybe she would really feel that she was cowardly, that the Ren family was cowardly, why was Ren Jun blind in the first place, and would be planted in the hands of such a family? They don't have a good thing with the surname Xie! I thought that Xie Wan would have nothing to do with each other after coming to Jingshi, but I didn't expect Xie Wei to come and grab the territory with her again!
The Persian cat in the house squatted on the embroidered pier under the bed and meowed, she raised her foot and kicked it, the embroidered pier overturned, and the cat also swept to the threshold like an arrow.
The maid hurriedly walked in, looked at her on the couch with anger and her face was distorted, silently helped Xiudun Er up, and poured another cup of tea.
Seeing this tea bowl, Ren Ruhua couldn't help but think of Xie Wei not making her tea alone, and Zeng Mi not only didn't make a sound, but saw her angry and didn't follow, her eyes were sour, so she raised her hand and knocked over the tea bowl, sat down and wiped her tears.
The maid was also at a loss, she wanted to persuade but didn't know where to persuade her, and in a panic, the person at the door called a few "masters", and Zeng Mi walked in.
Ren Ruhua turned his back and pretended not to see it.
Zeng Mi sat down and sighed, and said: "I think what she said is also right, King Anmu is the eldest son of the prince, and he still has a good chance to be the prince in the future. We're offending them completely! ”
Ren Ruhua raised her head angrily, "Isn't she a flat wife?" is also the housewife of the third room, she wants to be in the limelight so much, is it wrong for me to let her go? ”
Zeng Mi said speechlessly: "A flat wife is still a flat wife, this was said by the princess, it can be seen that in her eyes, you are also a level higher than Xie Wei." This is to lift you up and let you go to see you in person, why did you pick up Joe instead? In the end, I have an errand, so that the two of you can have a good life, otherwise you will be upside down, and you will still be the third grandmother in this uncle's house! ”
Of course Ren Ruhua knows this truth, but Xie Wei's contradiction with her is related to her vital interests, and she has to fight.
She let out a long breath and looked at the peony on the screen without saying a word.
Zeng Mi only got Xie Wei's back, in fact, I don't know if Xie Wan let go of such words, but he would rather kill by mistake than let go, he will not be like their women to entangle themselves with some trivial things about Chen sesame rotten grain, for men, career prospects are the most important.
He then continued: "King An Mu is now in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Princess Chiyang is engaged to the Duke of Lu again, and the Duchess of Lu Guo will celebrate her birthday next month, and I estimate that King An Mu and the princess will go on behalf of the crown prince and the crown princess." Lu Guogong is still in charge of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, if he can get him to carry him into the Five Cities Camp again, it will be the best. Their family has become in-laws with the Anmu Palace, so you must remember to go and meet the princess when the time comes. ”
The daughter of the widow who was despised by the Ren family before, but now that she has seen it, she wants to say such a word, Ren Ruhua looked at Zeng Mi who got up slowly, gritted her teeth, and endured it.
Yin Yu only went to the Internal Affairs Office to report on duty in the sixth day of the first month, and he was busy visiting and entertaining guests these days, before dinner, he went into the backyard, and saw Xie Wan holding his forehead there, so he took his hand in front of her and bent over, looked at her and said, "What do you want?" ”
Xie Wan exhaled and straightened up, tilted his cheek on the pillow with one hand, and said, "I'm thinking, the Wang family and Xie Rong have done so many bad things to us, Xie Rong has fallen to the point where he is now, should I be content?" ”
Yin Yu knew that Xie Wei had come, and when he heard this, he groaned.
Xie Wan originally wanted to listen to him, but when he was silent, he said, "What do you say? ”
Yin Yu said: "Let it be." ”
Xie Wan leaned over and hugged his neck, "I think so too." ”
She never thought that she had to put Xie Rong to death, all these years of worry and jealousy, all because she was afraid that he would interfere with her and her brother's life like in her previous life, so she tried her best to catch up and deploy, but now that Xie Rong has been defeated, the focus of their lives has begun to shift from the courtiers to the palace, Xie Rong is no longer her biggest obstacle, and she has begun to calm down in the face of these grievances.
As long as Yin Yu and Yin Xu can be safe and sound, and Xie Lang can enter the official career in high school this year, Xie Rong will not be able to interfere with her, and when the prince successfully ascends the throne, Xie Rong will have no way to shake them, so even if he is still in the court, it is not that he can't shake her, and of course she can't chase him anymore.
Therefore, in the face of stability in the future, their grievances with the Wang family and Xie Rong are already secondary.
Yin Yu bowed her head and kissed the back of her hand, raised her lips and said, "I found that after you gave birth to Xu'er, your heart is much softer than before. ”
"Of course." She pressed her face against his back, "Because I'm not a man to kill in the first place." It's just that fate forced me to be fully armed in the face of hardship. Take off your armor, and I'm a soft-hearted woman. ”
Yin Yu hummed lightly, sniffing the faint fragrance from her fingertips, and a warmth appeared at the corner of her lips.
As Yin Yu went to the Internal Affairs Office on an errand, Xie Wan had more time, and the weather warmed up in spring, Yin Xu began to be unable to sit still, pointing outside all day to ask a group of people around him to lead him out to play, Xie Wan simply took him to visit the familiar mansions every once in a while, or went into the palace to talk to the crown princess and Yin Zhao.
Originally, she really wanted to get together with Hong Lianzhu and them, but as soon as February arrived, the day of the test was approaching, and she knew that Hong Lianzhu wanted to take care of Xie Lang, so she didn't go. And the Qi family's side is similar, Wu Huaining and Qi Ruzheng are both ready to end, and Qi Ruxiu naturally has no time. However, Qi Song and his wife often think about Yin Xu, and occasionally make a detour to see him when they are in the office, and bring him a gadget or something.
On this day, Qi Song went down early, Xie Wan inquired with him about this year's Spring Festival, Qi Song was in the Ministry of Rites, except for knowing that this year's main examination was Duan Zhongming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhai Qing, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, he didn't know anything else.
In fact, Xie Wan also cares about it in vain, the rules of the Spring Festival are extremely strict, and there is no chance for people to go through the back door, and Xie Lang can't go through the back door, but because he is worried about this, even if he knows that it is useless to care, he still can't help asking, as long as he feels more comfortable in this way.
Only then did he send Qi Song to the downstairs of the middle gate, and the porter came over with his head down and said, "Mrs. Dou asks to see the princess." ”
Xie Wan said a word of invitation, and saw Qi Song's carriage go out of the Xifu Gate, so he stood downstairs at the middle gate and waited for Mrs. Dou's sedan to come in. (To be continued.) )
