Kido

Chapter 15

Fortunately, the third master is far away, the old master Xie doesn't care about the affairs of the back house, and the old lady Xie turns a deaf ear to the affairs of the third bedroom.Therefore, no one came to investigate the third wife.

The third wife was shocked by this, but she was more concerned about Aunt Lu's pregnancy than before, and repeatedly told her to "live well".Xie's mansion is no better than Ren, if anything happens to Aunt Lu, the third wife has no one to rely on, so she can only bear it by herself.

Anyway, I already have a son-in-law, and if I let her give birth, it will be a bastard at most, and it might be a girl.Regardless of whether it is a concubine or a concubine, is it still in the palm of my hand?The third wife comforted herself secretly.

On the pretext that "these two little girls are too young to be used", he replaced Aunt Lu's original little girls with Xiaotao and Xiaoxing brought back from his tenure.After the third wife finished these things, after thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be no trace left, um, it's all right.

As for the people in the fourth room, the third wife didn't think much about it.Across the room, the aunt and girl of the fourth room can't complain to the third master?It's just that they really said something in secret without opening their eyes, and I can evade the relationship by just saying "the little girl is ignorant, she never talked to me at all".

Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing are very clever, and they reported to the third wife all the important things Aunt Lu did, people she visited, and words she said from morning to night, "Aunt Lu is grateful to Aunt He, and Aunt Yuan It's also good. On the other hand, she has no one in the mansion."

"Aunt Lu thanked Aunt He several times, and Aunt He didn't accept her. Aunt He said that it was just that the little girl was young and never had any troubles. She panicked and rushed to the doctor because of her hands and feet. It happened that Miss Seven had a stomachache that night. It's worth nothing."

The third wife felt more at ease.

Xiaotao pursed her lips and smiled, "Aunt Lu made a bib for Miss Seven, with red flowers on a white background, very delicate and cute. Aunt Yuan also made one for Miss Seven, but Miss Seven is picky, not Aunt He Yes, she doesn't wear them at all." This Miss Seven is really as rumored, as long as she is a mother.

Aunt Lu's maid is extremely skilled, and the third wife knows that.Hearing this, my heart moved, send Aunt Lu an embroidery job?If you think about it carefully, let's forget it, and be patient until she gives birth to a baby.

The third wife is used to careful planning.When she was in office, the concubine daughter Fengnian and the unfavorable concubines all had to pay needlework every day before they were allowed to eat.If you can't complete the routine, you have to be hungry. "I don't support idlers!" Sanfang's family is not well-off, so it's impossible to live frugally.

A concubine like Fourth Miss Feng Nian looks like a concubine.Sifang's Xiaoqi is really too pampered.The third wife shook her head, only the fourth younger siblings were virtuous and magnanimous, and could accommodate this.If it were me, hmph, Xiaoqi must be trained to look like a good harvest!
Fengnian didn't become afraid of her aunt when she grew up, she knew she was afraid when she was only a few months old!Concubine daughters should be governed from childhood, and only when they grow up can they be submissive and be used by me.The third wife has a lot of experience about this.

On November 29th, Xie Liunian celebrated his first birthday.Children's birthdays, of course, can't be done in a big way, because they are afraid of losing their life and blessings, but He Li made a bowl of longevity noodles with his own hands.Fourth Master Xie ordered his servants to carry out a basketful of copper coins and distribute them to the passing poor.

The third wife was shocked. "Xiaoqi's birthday, and you want to throw out a basket of copper coins?" The third wife went out to find the fourth wife, and took her by the arm, with a look of indignation.

The fourth wife smiled gently, "What's the matter. Yan'er, Tang'er, Jin'er, every child's birthday is normal." There is no show and no wine, just a bowl of birthday noodles, sprinkled with a Baskets of copper coins, this is not a luxury.

"Can a child be the same as a child?" The third wife really hated iron and steel, "Xiaoqi's identity is not worthy of carrying Jin'er's shoes!" Back then, she hadn't spent a basket of copper coins to buy her mother into Xie's mansion.

The fourth wife glanced at the third wife with a half-smile.Xiaoqi's status is not high, but how high can you be?The biological mothers of the second master and the third master were both maidservants, so in terms of background, they are exactly the same as Xiao Qi.

The third wife was like a pot of fire, but when she saw that the fourth wife was not courting her, her heart gradually became cold, "My brother and sister, you are really young and soft-hearted!" and left angrily.

Xie Kuanyuan, Xie Liunian happily ate a small bowl of longevity noodles, one year old, I am one year old!She still remembers the proverb in her previous life, "When you are half a year old, eat with a bowl". It is a wonderful thing to be able to eat by yourself in a few months without having to be fed.

Xie Liunian can walk now, he often walks around the room, he doesn't cry or make trouble when he falls, he just gets up and continues walking.Xie Liunian walked, stopped and looked up to the sky and laughed foolishly. He walked so many roads in his previous life, he never knew that walking was such an interesting thing!
There were familiar footsteps outside the door.Xie Liunian walked towards the door excitedly, she couldn't step over the threshold yet, so she could only lift the curtain to reveal her little head.

On the bluestone brick road outside the door, Fourth Master Xie, with a black hat and Er Diao, came slowly.Seeing the white, tender and cute little face under the colorful threaded flower curtain, Fourth Master Xie smiled slightly, Xiao Qi can walk now, and will go to the door to meet Daddy.

"Xiao Qi, what is this?" Fourth Master Xie walked in, carried his daughter onto the kang, and handed her something.doll!Blonde doll!Xie Liunian's eyes lit up, he hugged the doll tightly in his arms, and shouted indistinctly, "Fat!"

That's how she talks, when she sees Xie Tangnian, she calls "De's".There is no way, she really can't pronounce the sound of "brother" at the moment.He Li taught her to call her "aunt", she nodded obediently, "no no".

He Li also came over to look at Xiyang Jinger, "Where did Yulang buy it? I've never seen it before. This little girl has green eyes? Is her hair golden? She looks really weird." But Xiao Qi liked it very much. It seems that children still like new things.

"Didn't I distribute copper coins in front of the door today?" Fourth Master Xie said with a smile, "It just so happened that the magistrate of Yu County invited Dudu Zhang to a banquet and invited me to accompany the guests. This doll was given by Dudu Zhang." It is rare for a military officer to be so careful Knowing that Xiaoqi passed away, he ordered someone to go back to Yiyuan to take the doll as a gift.

County Magistrate Yu is thoughtful and has gifts, but they are just common things, not as interesting as this doll.

Speaking of which, isn't this governor the brother-in-law of the fourth wife's cousin?They can be regarded as relatives, why have I never seen him come to visit the old man or the old lady?He Xin muttered inwardly.

However, she was cautious by nature, even if she was talking to Fourth Master Xie, she wouldn't know everything, and she didn't ask anything.She knows Fourth Master Xie's temperament best. He has always been calm and pure, and doesn't like women who are troublesome and talkative.

The only woman in the world who he didn't get tired of babbling and babbling for two cars was this little girl who was only one year old in front of him, and this little girl looked exactly like him.

Xie Liunian hugged the doll for a while, got up and walked to the edge of the kang, and opened his arms to Fourth Master Xie and He Li who were standing on the ground.He Li hugged her in his arms, Xie Liunian kissed He Li first, and then leaned over to kiss Fourth Master Xie.

Fourth Master Xie touched his face, "Success, finally he didn't spit."

The next day, fourth master Xie prepared four kinds of fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits, four boxes of exquisite pastries, four red feather yarns, and four gifts, and went to Yiyuan in person.Shen Mai still went out with Ah Da and Ah Er, and Zhang Xi came out to greet the guests, followed by a six or seven-year-old boy, "Little Dog Zhang Xi."

"I'm not a puppy." Zhang Xi muttered softly.I really don't understand, it's obviously a child, so I have to say "little dog".Children also have self-esteem, okay?

Fourth Master Xie smiled slightly, speaking childishly, with a lot of meaning.The third son of the Zhang family has handsome features and a pleasant demeanor, quite like his father, very good, very good.

After talking about the cold and temperature, put on the wine and dishes.Now the weather is cold, and the dishes are all served in silver basins, which are placed on shelves, and the bottom layer is stored with shochu, which is lit with a fire, and the flames warm the dishes inside, but there is no smoke.

Although it is a guest residence, it is also so particular.Fourth Master Xie wondered secretly.

It would be fine if it came from those Hou Mansions that have stood in the capital for 200 years, but it happened to come from the Dongchang Hou Mansion, an upstart that only appeared more than ten years ago.Besides, Marquis Dongchang was born as a bandit.
