Inside the house, Xie Xinyao was chatting with Mrs. Xie, and they were having a good time. Seeing Xie Zhan walk in, the two stopped talking and looked over together.

"Is there something wrong with my mother calling me?" As soon as he sat down, Xie Zhan asked straight to the point.

Without waiting for Mrs. Xie to answer, Xie Xinyao spoke: "Liulang, it's the eldest sister who wants to talk to you." Before I went out today, the seventh sister specially sent a personal maid to inform me that she had a cold in the past few days, and her body was not happy, and the Xie family could not come to the spring banquet. The last answer is that the painting should be made by you, and the next time I will personally send it to you. ”

The "seventh sister" in her words is Wang Zhiyi.

The Wang and Xie families have been friends for generations, and their peers have known each other since childhood. Wang Zhiyi is gentle and virtuous, and quite talented, and she is very liked by Xie Xinyao. Since marrying Wang Sanlang, Xie Xinyao has become even more friendly with the seventh sister of her husband's family, as if they are like sisters.

As soon as Xie Xinyao's words fell, Xie Zhan frowned and said in a cold voice: "How did I want the painting?" It's clear that the mother wants it. If she wants to give, she will give it directly to her mother. ”

Hearing Xie Zhan's confrontation, the corners of Mrs. Xie's mouth froze in place, and her face, which was over half a hundred years old and still had a little charm, flushed with anger.

She said angrily: "You don't have to pretend to be confused! Supporting the family is just an expedient measure, the saint gives marriage to the Xie family is not good to shirk, when she marries, then you and leave, Wang Qi Girl will come to the door sooner or later to be your wife, don't put your mind on the person who shouldn't be put on it! ”

Xie Zhan closed his eyes, took a long breath, and said helplessly: "It has nothing to do with the daughter of the family." ”

Mrs. Xie sneered and asked, "Nothing to do?" Then you should tell me, if I hadn't ordered Shi Qing to call you over, how would you treat the third girl because of her? ”

Xie Zhan opened and closed the folding fan, his eyes stopped on the fan, and he didn't look at Mrs. Xie, "Why is my mother far-fetched?" When a child works in Dali Temple, how can he turn a blind eye to those who commit adultery? ”

"Doing, being a traitor?" Mrs. Xie was so angry that her tongue was knotted, her thin eyebrows were frowned, she supported her forehead with one hand, and slapped her forehead several times with her palm.

Seeing this, Xie Xinyao quickly got up, walked quickly to her mother's side, stroked her back to help smooth her breath, and said in a conciliatory manner: "Liulang's words are serious. The third girl is young, she has always been active, and she is just playful. ”

Xie Zhan was silent, put the folding fan in his hand on the high table next to the seat, picked up a preserved fruit and stuffed it into his mouth by the way, because he didn't like the taste, he quickly spit it out, took a hand towel, and carefully wiped every slender and white finger.

Xie Xinyao knew Xie Zhan's temper, and when he saw him so silent, he knew that this younger brother, who had never been accustomed to seeing the arrogant style of the family, was angry, so he walked up to him and pushed his shoulder.

She smiled and said, "Oh, Rokuro, isn't that helper girl unscathed?" Just turn a blind eye, after all, she was brought by the eldest sister, and she is the cousin of the seventh girl, so let's make it a trivial matter. ”

Xie Zhan sneered coldly, "If you don't close your eyes, don't you all let her go." If the girl who helped the family couldn't swim in the water, how much more could she and I save in front of everyone's eyes today? ”

Mrs. Xie has always had a strong personality, and when she heard that Xie Zhan had the idea of caring for the daughter of the family, she slapped the table, got up and said angrily: "Fang just said that it is none of her business!" Why do you keep saying that you are protective? Tell me, how will she manage this huge family business in the future with a small family background? ”

Protect? Can you do it?

Xie Zhan wanted to argue that he was not protecting Fu Xuan, but that she was acting as his fiancée, and Wang Ai bullying her was equivalent to slapping him Xie Zhan in the face.

But when he lifted his eyes, he saw that his mother was so angry that her eyes were split, and she finally endured it and did not speak again.

Mrs. Xie only thought that Xie Zhan was persuaded and planned to retreat.

At first, she really didn't look at each other as if these six sons were over, but then she heard that Fu Xuan fell into the water, and saw his footsteps disappear in a hurry around the corner, and she suddenly realized that her son has always been an unkind person, and it is one thing not to be someone else's business, and he disdains to care about other people's affairs.

She had to admit that the girl who helped the family was indeed good-looking, graceful, and qualified to hook the man's heart.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xie slowed her voice and said a little resignedly: "If you really like her, you can stay by your side and be a concubine in the future." ”

Mrs. Xie is a strong woman, she has been married to Xie Yuan for many years, and she has never been allowed to take concubines, and the five men who have been married under her knees are all married without concubines, and today she can take the initiative to let Xie Zhan take a concubine, which is undoubtedly the biggest concession she can make.

However, Xie Zhan disagreed with her kindness, and his face was full of disdain: "No need, I have never liked to be noisy, just marry one." ”

Besides, the squeamish and retributive daughter of the family is willing to live in the concubine room?

Mrs. Xie thought about it carefully, too, her son has always been noble, and he will definitely not be lazy, so she took a long breath, showed a little satisfaction in her eyes, and said: "Tomorrow, you will go to Wang's house and get back the painting made by the seven girls." ”

Xie Zhan was reluctant to contain his displeasure, but in the end he was completely aroused by his mother, and he said coldly: "Whether the daughter of the Wang family deliberately hurts people has to be mentioned in Dali Temple to ask." ”

Mrs. Xie was choked and speechless by him, originally let him take the opportunity to visit the sick Wang Zhiyi, but he could say such heartless words, how could he let him go to Wang's house? If you really want to meet Wang Ai, you will be ruthless, and you will be arrested in Dali Temple, how can you still communicate with the Wang family when you turn around?

She was so angry that she held her forehead again, and didn't want to say more than half a word to him, she raised her hand and waved Xie Zhan in the direction of the door, "You go, you go!" Let's go! ”

Xie Zhan grabbed his folding fan, stood up, and strode out of Mrs. Xie's room.

**

After Xie Zhan left, Xie Xinyao walked back to Mrs. Xie and said with relief: "Liulang has always been able to carry the weight, how can he really arrest people, mother and relax." ”

Mrs. Xie sighed deeply, this son of hers has a high temper and talent, which is unmatched, and he really won't let anyone go. He is self-controlled, only known as a mother, he never behaves in his bones, but is full of rebellion and unruliness that he has reined in.

She said intimate words to her eldest daughter: "In the future, Liulang will be the Lord of the Xie family, and the seventh girl is not only from a good background, but also dedicated to the good of Liulang, what I like the most is her temperament that knows cold and hot." Look at your eldest brother's family, if it weren't for the Yu family's ability to coax people and submit to softness, how would life be smooth? You too, if it weren't for your husband accommodating you, would you be so good off in the Wang family? ”

Xie Qi, the son of the Xie family, was amorous by nature, and often lingered in Fengyue places before marriage, and when the daughter-in-law Yu entered the door, even her mother was sweating, lest the eldest son still not change his old habits after marriage, and there was a gap between the husband and wife.

But who knew that the Yu family had been very obedient since he entered the door, and in the face of Xie Qi going out to indulge, not only did he not cry or make trouble, but he was also very gentle and caring, when Mrs. Xie blamed Xie Qi, she also stood up to defend him, saying that her husband didn't like to stay at home, and he must have done something good enough. Gradually, the eldest son also realized that his wife would come, and he no longer messed with the flowers and plants outside.

Since then, Mrs. Xie has additionally believed in the principle of complementarity in choosing a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law. If you have a hard temper, you have to match a softer one; And if the temper is too soft, choose a tougher master.

Mrs. Xie has a strong personality, and it has always been Xie Yuan who let her, and so does her eldest daughter. Xie Xinyao is very angry and arrogant, although Wang Sanlang is mediocre, he is the most accommodating to her, otherwise Xie Xinyao's temperament of going back to her parents' house three days after marriage would have become a pair of resentful couples.

Hearing her mother praise her husband, Xie Xinyao blushed embarrassedly, and she said shyly: "Didn't you say Liulang, why did it happen to me again." ”

Mrs. Xie sighed again, "The one who supports the family is not only arrogant, but I heard that he often goes to the place of Fengyue, and acts like this, he really wants to pass the door, I am afraid that the family will have no peace." ”

Xie Xinyao agreed: "Today, she is in a-for-tat confrontation with the girl of the Wang family, and she is not tolerant at first glance. ”

Mrs. Xie said: "In the Yaji ten days later, you will bring the seventh girl over and let the sixth lady go with her everywhere." Although the Xie family can't promise her anything now, you can also mention it on the side, as long as her heart is still in Liulang's place, she is not afraid of anything else. ”

Xie Xinyao nodded yes, and then thought about it and asked, "Do you want to invite the one who helps the family?" ”

Mrs. Xie nodded, "Naturally, it's best to make her retreat." "I know that Fuxuan is a straw bag girl with no ink, and I want to take advantage of this elegant gathering to let her know that there is an indelible gap between her and the noble girl.
