Chapter 279: Sisters
Liu Ruolan handed a post to Cheng Fu before, and called Xie Rongzhao to get up and dress up early this morning.
After all, if you are going to your future mother-in-law's house, you still have to be careful.
Although Grandma Xie has some regrets now, she can't change her love for her eldest son and the heir of the eldest house.
She still hopes to take Xie Rongrong to Chengfu as well, at this age, it's time to say goodbye, their family now lives in the countryside, and it's not too cheap.
Liu Ruolan didn't shirk, Xie Rongrong did do disgusting things when she was a child, but now that she has grown up, it is not good to keep holding on to her mistakes back then.
Liu Ruolan is now an official's wife, so she naturally has to learn to be generous.
However, generosity is generosity, and Liu Ruolan is still a little wary of Xie Rongrong.
Cheng Mansion naturally treats Liu Ruolan and Xie Rongzhao's mother and daughter politely, in the past, only Cheng Jingzhou's parents would pay more attention to them, but now, even the entire Cheng Mansion does not dare to offend their mother and daughter.
Liu Ruolan still remembered the good of the Cheng Mansion in the past, so naturally she would not put up a shelf in the Cheng family.
After everyone greeted each other, Mrs. Cheng invited them to her courtyard to talk.
Xie Rongzhao and Xie Rongrong also followed Liu Ruolan throughout the whole process, after all, they were no longer children and could no longer run around.
"Okay, you don't have to be detained here with us, it's when you're young and fun-loving, I'll let you take you to the garden, and see if our garden is the same as it was a few years ago?"
There was a bit of a joke in it.
In particular, the sentence 'our garden' made Xie Rongzhao blush.
Yahuan took the two of them out, Xie Rongzhao didn't recognize her, it should have been added in the past few years.
When I got to the garden, I saw acquaintances.
"Say hello to Miss Xie."
The gardener in the garden is a woman, and when Xie Rongzhao came over in the past, she was here to tend to the flowers and plants.
"Aunt Xu, hurry up, I haven't seen you for a long time, and Aunt Xu hasn't changed much."
The woman who was called Aunt Xu hurriedly got up: "The slave maid can't be this aunt, the two young ladies take a look casually, the tables and chairs in the pavilion in front of you are all wiped clean, if you need anything, you two can command." ”
Xie Rongrong has indeed not been to Chengfu for several years.
When did she last come back, she couldn't remember clearly, but she remembered that after she almost caused Xie Rongzhao to be sold, she never got a good face from the Cheng family again, let alone set foot in Cheng Mansion.
Xie Rongrong didn't really want to come, getting along with this sister would always make her feel a little weak and afraid.
I still regret the wrong things I did back then.
Xie Rongzhao also saw that she was cramped and uneasy, so he slowed down and turned his head to ask Yahuan, who was leading the way, to help prepare some tea.
Yahuan retreated to find someone to arrange, and at this time, only the two sisters were left.
On the way here, they all sat in the same carriage, and Xie Rongzhao was not easy to say some things.
Now that there is no one else, Xie Rongzhao looks at this cousin carefully, and the difference from his impression is too great.
Whether it was a few years ago or in the previous life, this is a completely different Xie Rongrong.
"How has the second sister been in recent years?"
Xie Rongrong glanced at her quickly, and then lowered her eyes: "Well, it's good." ”
When the words fell, he seemed to feel that his answer was not sincere enough, so he said again: "There is no worry about food and clothing at home, and my stepmother treats us very well after entering the door, so there is nothing to worry about." ”
Xie Rongzhao nodded, but he could see that the Qi family was kind.
"The eldest sister married into the Chen family, has the second sister ever been there?"
"I've been there once after getting married, although the Chen family lives in the county, but the residence is not as big as our Xie family, but I see that the eldest sister is living a more comfortable life in the Chen family."
Xie Rongzhao was curious: "How do you say this?" ”
"The eldest sister has weight in the Chen family's words, and the Chen family also coaxes her, even Aunt Chen doesn't dare to be too presumptuous when she speaks in front of her."
Xie Rongzhao laughed when he heard this, this is bullying people.
Also, there is an uncle who is a high-ranking official, and the Chen family really doesn't dare to offend this Xie Ronglan.
"Second sister is envious?"
Xie Rongrong hurriedly shook her head, her face was a little flustered: "No, no!" The eldest sister looks good, and being able to marry Xiucailang also accounts for the light of the second uncle. I'm not as good as my eldest sister, and I also know that I have a bad reputation, so I don't dare to think about such a person. ”
Xie Rongzhao was stunned this time, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered whether Xie Rongrong had been sentenced to ten days in prison or half a month by the county government.
Fortunately, Xie Rongrong was still young at that time, and it was not a big deal to be beaten in public, if it was changed to now, it is estimated that Xie Rongrong would not be able to live.
"It's all in the past, people's memories are short, and they will always forget some things that don't matter. There's not always going to be anyone to blame you for. ”
As soon as Xie Rongrong heard this, she immediately looked up at her, and the surprise in her eyes was obvious.
"Don't you hate me?"
Xie Rongzhao tilted his head and thought for a while: "It should have been hated at the time, right?" But more still don't understand, after all, we are cousins, I don't think I've ever offended you, and I don't know why you hate me so much and want me to leave the Xie family forever. In fact, if I hadn't come back and seen you again, I would have forgotten that past. ”
Xie Rongrong was stunned, she seemed to understand, she was trembling, for fear of being mentioned, the old things were not so important to Xie Rongzhao.
In other words, it should be that he is not a very important person to Xie Rongzhao, so he is about to forget.
"I'm sorry."
After many years, Xie Rongrong still apologized to her seriously.
Even if she was young, she shouldn't have such a vicious mind.
She didn't even understand why she was targeting Xie Rongzhao like this.
Over the years, her biological mother was abandoned, and then she was sent to the nunnery for self-reflection, and she can be regarded as seeing the warmth and coldness of people.
The third aunt is in charge, although she has never treated them harshly, but the disdainful gaze she occasionally shows still makes her extremely uncomfortable.
This kind of despised day is not only in the Xie family, occasionally when eating with the clansmen, it is inevitable that someone will mention the Gao family, sighing, but also scolding the Gao family.
The three of them were naturally implicated because of this.
With such a biological mother, how can a man from a good family be willing to marry them back?
If it weren't for the fact that the second uncle became an official, I am afraid that the three sisters are now being scolded by others.
"Forget it, don't mention the past. Second sister, I just hope you can understand that we are both daughters of the Xie family, and the reputation of the Xie family is especially important to us. If you have time, let's remind the big sister more, if she thinks too highly of herself, then the reputation of our Xie family will be ruined, and you and Sister Xuan will have the greatest impact. ”
