Chapter 522 - Come to the door to play the family card
Wen Xiuyi made an appointment with Chen County today to go around other places in Yunwu Town to see the situation of the production teams in each village, and before he went out, he was blocked at the door by the old lady of the Xie family.
"What is she doing here?" Wen Xiuyi frowned, he wanted Lu He to send people away, he was too lazy to bother with the people of the Xie family.
Lu He would have asked the porter to stop people out of the door, but he didn't let them in, and replied: "Master, it was said that the old lady of the Xie family missed her grandson and came to see Young Master Yi." ”
Wen Xiuyi glanced at Lu He when he heard this, and his eyes were very obvious.
Do you believe it?
Lu He pouted, of course he didn't believe it.
"Master, the time we made an appointment with Master Chen is coming, and it will be too late if we don't go." Lu He reminded that Chen Xianling was originally going to come to Gutong Village to pick up Wen Xiuyi, but Wen Xiuyi said no, saving him from running, and the two made an appointment to meet at the city gate.
Wen Xiuyi thought for a while: "You invite Mama Zeng, and then invite the old lady." ”
"Eh, the minion is going." Lu He ran to the backyard, didn't enter the door, just shouted Mingyue, said the situation in front, and went to the old mansion through the small door on the side, and notified Luo.
As soon as Luo heard that Mrs. Xie was coming, he immediately called Mama Du: "Change my clothes, Minglan and make up." ”
"Huh." Minglan was very excited, ran back to the house, and directly turned out the set of clothes that Princess Fu helped her make when the old lady was in the capital, as well as the jewelry given by Princess Fu and the Queen Mother, and rubbed her hands.
When she was in the capital, her grooming skills were still useful, and when she returned to Gutong Village, the old lady thought it was too troublesome, and she was pinned to a silver hairpin on her head on weekdays, and she had no place to use it, which would deter the old lady of the Xie family, Minglan finally felt that she was a little useful.
Soon, Roche was dressed up, as if the image of a rich old lady appeared.
She didn't pass through the main gate, but walked through the side door to Wen Xiuyi's house, Wen Yao also packed up and waited with Mama Zeng, seeing her grandmother like this, Wen Yao raised her eyebrows, and hurriedly walked over to help Luo Shi to sit on the main seat.
"Milk, you really have the momentum of an old lady." Wen Yao said with a smile.
Luo Shi glanced at her with disgust: "You sit down, you are now the county lord, you can't lose face." ”
"Holo." Wen Yao sat down honestly.
Only then did Luo look at Wen Xiuyi and said, "Boss, you can go with your business, just me and Yaoyao here." ”
"Okay, mother, then I'll go." After speaking, Wen Xiuyi took Lu He away, and Mama Du went to the gate with them.
Mama Shi and Mama Zeng have different identities, so naturally they can't come to do this work of leading the way, even if they are leading the way, Mama Du's eyebrows and eyes are also raised high, who in this house doesn't know the grievances suffered by Miss Rong Rong and Young Master Yi in the Xie family.
On such a cold day, Mrs. Xie came all the way and waited at the door for a long time, even if it was still a little cold in the carriage, if it weren't for the current situation of the Xie family, she wouldn't want to make this trip.
Finally seeing Wen Xiuyi coming out of the Wen family, Mrs. Xie's eyes lit up, and before she could send someone to speak, she saw Wen Xiuyi go straight to another carriage at the door, and then left without looking back, leaving only an old lady standing at the door looking at them.
Mama Du looked at the grandmother and maid brought by Mrs. Xie, her face was red from the cold, she snorted coldly in her heart, and said, "Old Madam Xie, the county lord and the old lady of my family invite Mrs. Xie to come in and talk, please come with me." ”
Mrs. Xie got out of the carriage tremblingly with the support of the grandmother and the maid who were waiting with her.
The Wen family is still the same Wen family, and the door has not even changed, but who knows that it is such a family, and there is an earl and a county lord.
Seeing Mama Du's eyes full of disdain, Mrs. Xie was very dissatisfied in her heart, but she had to endure it and let her help her into the door.
Mama Du led people into the front hall, Luo and Wen Yao sat on the main seat and seemed to be saying something, Luo was amused and very happy.
Mrs. Xie saw Luo Shi again, when she saw that she was covered in silk and satin, the material of the clothes was much better than her own, and the gold thread was embroidered on it, and the head was full of head, all of them were exquisite, and they were worth a lot of money when they looked at it.
The peasant woman who was looked down upon by herself in the past has now turned over into an old lady, and the old lady Xie looks down on Luo in her eyes, but she still looks down on Luo in her heart, but she is just some mud legs, and she really thinks that if she flies on the branch, she will really become a phoenix, compared to a family with a background like them, it is nothing.
Thinking that he was coming, Luo Shi should politely invite himself to sit down and talk, but when he entered the front hall, he didn't see anyone to guide the way, and he didn't mention that she should sit down, and Mrs. Xie couldn't help but be displeased on her face.
"Is this how the old sister is hospitable?" Mrs. Xie is used to being arrogant, and it is not easy to endure it until now, so she said such a sentence on the spot, not to mention serving tea, and even arranging seats.
Luo and Wen Yao stopped, and the two looked at her together.
The two didn't speak, just looked at her, and Mama Zeng behind Wen Yao immediately sneered, her voice was very loud, and it was obvious in the hall, and then said:
"This old lady has such a big temper, and when she saw that our county lord did not say a salute, but first questioned the hospitality of the lord's family, where did this rule come from."
Old Madam Xie's pupils shrank, gritted her teeth and bent her knees slightly, and she was about to salute, when she heard Mama Zeng continue: "This old lady is still white, my county lord is noble, that is, the women in Beijing have to kneel when they see my county lord, don't make a mistake in this ceremony." ”
Old Madam Xie raised her head in disbelief and looked at Wen Yao, who just lowered her head lightly and drank tea, when she couldn't see it.
She still remembers the way the old woman looked when she first saw them.
Hmph, the mountains and rivers take turns, and they deserve it.
Old Madam Xie could only grit her teeth and kneel down to give Wen Yao a salute, and when she finished Wen Yao, she said that she would be exempt from the courtesy, and asked Mingyue to help people up and send them to sit on the stool next to her.
"I wonder if Mrs. Xie suddenly visited, was there something wrong? If I'm not mistaken, my eldest son replied to your post yesterday. Roche spoke quietly.
Old Madam Xie thought of the purpose of coming today, as well as her son's explanation, the expression on her face changed and changed, and finally a faint sadness welled up, and before she could open her mouth, she picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears.
The grandmother who followed behind her saluted and served as a substitute:
"Back to the old lady, my old lady misses the second young master, I haven't seen the second young master for so long, the old lady doesn't want to eat, I heard that the second young master is back, and she has never gone home to visit her old man, the old lady thinks about her grandson, so she can't wait to see the second young master."
Luo Shi looked at Mrs. Xie's pretentious appearance, and quietly rolled his eyes, knowing why bother today, that is, those old ladies in Beijing did not have such a style as her, it was really embarrassing.
At the beginning, Rong Rong poured out her heart and lungs to their family, what about them, they were just calculating a girl from other families, if it weren't for the time when they moved to the household registration, they wouldn't have found out that they didn't even have Xie Anyi's family tree, just to take advantage of Rong Rong to raise their family of bloodsucking leeches, which is really disgusting.
Although she was disgusted, she still glanced at Minglan and said, "Go, invite Young Master Yi." ”
