Xie Yixiao, Xie Yiling, Jiang Zeyun, and Gu Xiang sat down for a while after having dinner in the Changning Marquis Mansion before leaving with their own gifts.

Gu Ying was reluctant to leave when she was leaving, and even wanted to run away with Xie Yixiao.

She complained quietly: "The house has been so quiet lately, I don't even want to live." ”

The atmosphere in the Changning Hou Mansion is quite depressing, the Jiang family lives alone in the high hall, and the Zhou family is competing with the Changning Hou for Gu You's affairs, plus so many things have happened one after another, and the harmony of the family in the past has long since dispersed and become deserted.

Even Gu Ying, who used to be the most fond of petting, didn't dare to come to the Jiang family now.

Xie Yixiao patted her hand: "Go back, you don't have to send it." ”

Gu Ying hesitated: "Cousin, after a while, can Ah Yun and I go to live with you for a while?" ”

"No, you can't." Xie Yixiao refused directly.

She was willing to pull Gu Ying when she was in trouble, but she didn't want to bring herself a trouble to come back and serve, Gu Ying was a girl from the Changning Hou Mansion, so it was naturally better to stay in the Changning Hou Mansion.

"If the two cousins have free time, they should go to my grandmother's side to serve more, my grandmother is old, and she still likes to be accompanied by someone."

If Xie Yixiao was Gu Ying, she would definitely not want to leave at this time, she would go to accompany the Jiang family.

Although Jiang said that she didn't want to take care of the affairs of the house, she was still worried about it.

At this time, Gu You was locked up, and Xie Yixiao, the most distressed granddaughter of the Jiang family, was not in the house, whether it was out of filial piety or wanting to seek benefits, it was best to go to the Jiang family's side to accompany her.

If she does a good job, the Jiang family will pity her a little, and she will have benefits in the future.

Gu Ying hesitated a little: "But, I'm afraid that my grandmother will be angry." ”

Xie Yi said with a smile: "Grandmother wants to be quiet, don't quarrel with her, just accompany her quietly, don't talk nonsense or do anything foolish to make her angry." ”

Gu Yun on the side asked, "How can I not make my grandmother angry?" ”

Xie Yi glanced at the two of them with a smile, and then said, "Don't mention the things that happened before, just treat it as if nothing happened before." ”

"Don't mention it to some people."

Gu Yun seemed to understand.

Xie Yi smiled: "Okay, let's go back." ”

Xie Yixiao and Xie Yiling got into the carriage, and then returned to Xie's house.

On the third day of the junior high school, the ninth prince came, the first day of the first year was the day of the reunion of each family's own family, the second day of the second year of the new year was the day of returning to his parents' house, and on the third day of the new year, other people came to pay their respects.

On this day, the Xie family became lively, Mrs. Xie and Xie Yi'an had several students who came to visit with their wives and children, and some younger generations who were close to each other also came, and the ninth prince naturally came.

He is the one who wants to be the son-in-law of the Xie family, because he has not yet married, it is not easy to come to the door in the second year of junior high school, so he has to arrange the days to the third day of junior high school, and the Xie family is the first person to visit, which is also a respect for the Xie family.

Today's Xie Zhuo also went to the Wenxian Marquis Mansion.

Xie Jin, Xie Yu and Xie Yiling helped entertain the sons, Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu followed Mrs. Xie and the Wen family to entertain the female dependents, the weather outside was still cold, there was a earth dragon in the house, and a few pots of charcoal fire were burned, which was still warm.

Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu drank tea and chatted with a few girls in the side hall, playing leaf cards, and Xie Yixiao asked people to take some flower tea and fruit tea to make for everyone to drink.

The tea is sweet but not greasy, the faint aroma is pervasive, it is very popular with the girls, and the little girls rarely like to drink, with some pastries to eat, the taste is better.

When the girls talked about it, they talked about Xie Yixiao's Xizi Pavilion again.

Xie Yi said with a smile: "When it comes to the eighth day of the new year, the entire shop can be used, there is still a courtyard there, if you don't dislike it, you are tired of shopping on weekdays, and it is good to go there to rest." ”

"I'll have someone get some fruit tea to eat when the time comes, and you can taste it too."

"We used to think that the thirteen girls' shop only had one shop, which was quite wasteful, and the whole shop was used, so the feeling was good, and there was a place to sit and drink tea when shopping on weekdays."

Xie Yi smiled: "Wasn't I afraid that this business would not be easy to do, first I separated a shop to do it, this road has to be walked step by step, the meal has to be eaten in one bite, and take it slowly." ”

"That's right."

"But I see that the business in the thirteenth girl's shop is good."

"It's not bad, I bought some to use, but it's easy to use."

A group of people were talking, and Xie Lian came.

Today's Xie Lian is wearing a peach-colored skirt and a cloak, although the cloak is not particularly precious, but it has some white rabbit fur sewn carefully, which looks very good.

Her skin is fair, and her complexion is not particularly outstanding, but her expression is weak and pitiful, as if she is a delicate and delicate flower, which is very pitiful.

Xie Lian held a hand stove in her hand, she touched the residual temperature of the hand stove, raised her eyes to look at the people in the room, and then stepped forward to salute: "Ah Lian has seen the little aunt." ”

Xie Yixiao nodded: "Well, you can find a place to sit." ”

Xie Zhu's expression was faint, and Xie Yu rolled his eyes, feeling that this Xie Lian really had a big face.

Xie Yixiao has a high seniority, and the younger generation has to salute when they see her, calling them 'Thirteen Aunts', but Xie Zhu is the daughter of their generation, and they have the highest seniority, and they have to salute when they see them, but Xie Zhu often mixes with them, and there are not so many courtesies in private.

It's just that Xie Lian only gave Xie Yi a smile and salute, and others didn't even say hello, obviously not taking people in their eyes.

But today's banquet, they are not good at showing jokes to others, let's tolerate this person one or two, the people present saw Xie Lian sit down, and they began to continue to speak the person who spoke just now, Xie Lian found a place to sit down, undoubtedly being left out.

She looked at the people in the room, pinched her sleeves, took a breath, and then asked Xie Yixiao: "Aunt Xiao, are you okay these days?" ”

Xie Yixiao put down the teacup, and then said, "It's good to worry about you." ”

Xie Lian said again: "I heard that the little aunt went back to the Changning Marquis Mansion yesterday?" ”

Xie Yi smiled: "My mother is gone, and I haven't married yet, so naturally I should go to see my grandmother and uncle." ”

Xie Lian wanted to ask Gu Zhixuan's news, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't ask a word.

Since the last time she wanted to add makeup to Gu You, Xie Lian had thought of many ways to get close to Changning Hou and Gu Zhixuan, but she couldn't do it, and she couldn't even see Gu Zhixuan's face.

Last time, Gu Ying seemed to want to help her, but then there was no news, she asked people to send a few letters to Gu Ying, but no news came back.

She was really anxious.
