"Know."

Steward Fang sighed lightly: "The slave followed Hou Ye when he was not sealed Hou Jianfu, and later Hou Ye was made a marquis because of his military exploits, and everyone thought that the capital was going to produce a new upstart, but they didn't expect that the first emperor ordered Hou Ye to stay in the border city." ”

"To say something disrespectful, in fact, everyone knows that the first emperor asked the marquis to settle his home in the capital, and gave the old lady an order, but in fact, he left ......"

Speaking of this, he stopped talking and glanced at Xie Wan.

Xie Wan nodded: "I understand, it's a hostage, in order to prevent the general from defecting at the front." ”

Steward Fang responded: "So at that time, there were some faces, they were not very willing to marry their daughter to Hou Ye, the old slave had talked to Mrs., how could he marry Hou Ye regardless of the family's opposition, Mrs. smiled and said to the old slave, she worshipped big heroes when she was a child, and in her eyes, the old man was a hero." ”

This is indeed what her mother can say, and her mother said more than once when she was a child that her father was a hero.

Xie Wan asked, "How did my mother and my father meet?" ”

Steward Fang smiled: "The emperor wanted to settle down in the capital for Hou Ye, so he set up a banquet and asked the officials in Beijing to bring all the marriageable daughters who were not married to the banquet, and at the banquet, he jokingly asked, who is willing to marry Hou Ye." ”

"At that time, everyone knew that there was no difference between marrying and being a widow, and the old lady was famous, who was willing to marry their daughter to the Hou Ye? Everyone said that it was not suitable. Only Madame said that she was willing. ”

"Actually, the Hou Ye should have been embarrassed at that time, the appearance of the lady relieved the siege of the Hou Ye, and the emperor should have issued an order to marry the Hou Ye and the wife."

Xie Wan felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, she smiled bitterly and said, "My mother must have mustered up the courage to stand up at that time." ”

Steward Fang nodded: "Actually, Madam has always been a kind and tough woman, and the old slave has always admired her." ”

"I also admire it." Xie Wan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "She has done everything that a woman and a mother can do. ”

Steward Fang hummed in a low voice: "Madame's performance at the banquet seems to the Xi family to lose the face of the Xi family, perhaps because it is a marriage, the Xi family still gives enough dowry." It's just that after getting married, there are fewer contacts. Later, Mrs. gave birth to a young lady, and the old lady of the Xi family came to see her a few times. ”、

"One is the day she was born, one is the day after she was sent away, and two are the first months of the year in which she was sent away. Later, they completely broke off contact, and more than ten years have passed in a flash. ”

Xie Wan frowned when she heard this: "Do you know why the Xi family completely broke off contact with their mother, is it because of me?" ”

Steward Fang glanced at her hesitantly and nodded, "Yes." ”

Xie Wan was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Fang Guan sighed: "When Mrs. Xi came for the last time, she had a quarrel with Mrs., what Mrs. Xi meant was that Mrs. didn't need to run to the mountains so often, but should take care of the house and walk around with the lady next to her, but Mrs. didn't agree." ”

Xie Wan understood that Mrs. Xi was actually for her mother's good, but her mother chose her.

Mrs. Xi felt that her mother was completely ignorant and couldn't listen to the persuasion, so she was completely disappointed, and she had no more contact in a fit of anger.

Xie Wan asked, "Is the Xi family rich?" ”

Steward Fang shook his head: "I don't know how the old slave knows, the General Administration Department actually has no real power, and Old Madam Xi can give such a large sum of silver, she should have some family background." ”

Xie Wan nodded her head when she heard this, indicating that she understood: "The housekeeper has worked hard. ”

"It's all within the hands of the old slave." Steward Fang said: "Miss have a good rest today, and the old slave will retire first." ”

Seeing him leave, Xie Wan looked at the brocade box in her hand, was silent for a while, took out the silver ticket, and took a new brocade box and packed it.

She thought about it, put the agarwood rosary given by the eldest princess into it, and went to write a soothing prescription for Rushi to send it to Mrs. Xi.

She advised: "I personally handed it over to the old lady, and I said that I like the hairpin very much, the deceased has passed away, and I wish the old lady a long and healthy life." ”

Rushi nodded and went out with the brocade box.

Mrs. Xi deliberately chose when the sun was about to go down before letting people send the gift over.

She was a little apprehensive, not knowing what Xie Wan would think about her actions like this.

In fact, as early as when she heard that Xie Wan sent the two brothers of the Xie family to prison and drove the old woman out of the Hou Mansion, her heart was happy.

In her opinion, the Xie family owes her a life!

But she wasn't sure what Xie Wan's attitude was towards the Xi family, what her attitude was towards her, and whether she would resent her, so she didn't dare to come to the door to admit it.

The sons had the same idea as her, but some daughters-in-law mentioned whether they wanted to come to the door to recognize their relatives, but they avoided Xie Wan when it was the most difficult, and now that she is fine, where do they still have the face to go to the door.

10,000 taels of silver, which were made up by her sons and her.

She knew that Xie Wan would not be short of silver in the future, but there was still a difference between King Ning's and Xie Wan's own.

The vision of the subordinates of the palace must be high, Xie Wanchu married the Hou Mansion, no matter what, he had to have some money to do it smoothly.

Mrs. Xi sent things over, but she didn't expect Xie Wan to be able to hold grudges, but she just compensated for her guilt for her daughter.

Hearing that Xie Wan's personal maid was coming, Old Madam Xi even wanted to say that she was not there, so that she would not have to face the possibility of a bad result.

However, this thought was just a thought, and she could only bite the bullet and invite Rushi into the door.

When Rushi took out the brocade box and handed it to her, Mrs. Xi's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Rushi looked at her somewhat pale face, and didn't quite understand why, but she still dutifully brought Xie Wan's words: "Miss said, she likes the hairpin very much, the deceased has passed away, and I wish the old lady a long and healthy life." ”

The deceased is deceased......

Isn't it just that you don't want to have anything to do with the Xi family anymore?

Old Madam Xi held the brocade box tightly, and her heart was mixed.

It's good that you don't hold a grudge.

She asked about Xie Wan's current situation, and although she knew how much King Ning cherished Xie Wan, she still asked herself: "Is King Ning good to your young lady?" ”

Rushi replied with a smile: "Okay, it's just that I'm a little jealous, and I always have to be coaxed by the young lady." The prince even eats the vinegar of the little marquis. ”

Hearing this, Old Madam Xi couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, her smile faded again, and she muttered: "It's good to her, it's good to her." ”

She ordered her grandmother to send Rushi out of the house, stared at the brocade box in her hand, hesitated for a while, and then slowly opened it.

When she saw the contents of the brocade box, she was stunned.

Mama returned to the courtyard after sending Rushi, and as soon as she stepped into the door, she saw Mrs. Xi looking at her with a smile and said, "Quick, make a sachet according to the recipe!" ”
