Chapter 28

Fortunately, Xie Liunian is not yet able to speak perfectly, if he could, he would be able to drive Fourth Master Xie to death.As soon as she saw the ancient bronze Yi, the ink smoke and frozen stone tripod, and Ru kiln flower pouches, her first thought was: how much are they worth?It's worth a lot of money.Don't need too much, just randomly take two or three pieces back, and once they are auctioned at the auction, you don't have to work hard for the rest of your life.

"Mine?" Fourth Master Xie held her in his father's arms when he came to see her, pointing to all kinds of expensive antiques one by one, and asked one by one.Fourth Master Xie nodded, "Your." After confirming, Xie Liunian raised his small hand and shouted vigorously, "Sakura!"

Xiao Ying came over in response, knowing Miss Seven very well, holding the small ledger in her hand, "Miss Seven, register them for you one by one?" She knew that she wanted to include these antiques in the book.

Xie Liunian's small account book is very clear: how much cash is there, how much banknotes are there, how many gold, silver and jade wares are there, and how many precious ornaments are there.Among them, she is most concerned about cash and bank notes, which have the best circulation.

Fourth Master Xie was speechless.After two days, a few older and younger girls with handsome appearance were added to the two younger daughters.These girls are well-versed in literature and ink, and often read to the two ladies and play the piano.Even playing with the two ladies is more interesting than ordinary girls.

"It's really reckless." Although the third wife didn't say anything on the surface, she felt sorry for Xie Qinian secretly, "How many families, the serious lady only knows a few words, and she only focuses on needlework on weekdays. The Xie family is fine, even the girls And a lot of reading."

"What's the matter?" Xie Qinian smiled, "All the servants in Zheng Xuan's family read books. Even the maids in his family can speak well, which is a good story." Zheng Xuan, a Confucian scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a maid of his family offended his master and was dragged into the mud to be punished.Another maid walked by and asked, "Why is Hu in the mud?"

Extravagance is a bit extravagant, mentioning status.Xie Qinian can only agree with this point.She is a young girl in a boudoir, the more reserved the Xie family is, the more delicate she becomes.If you talk about needlework, female workers, etc., women from small households are also excellent, so why should ladies compare with them.

"I'm just not convinced! My son-in-law and daughter-in-law are so frustrated, but Xiaosi and Xiaoqi are very comfortable." The third wife sighed resentfully, "However, your second uncle failed to live up to his expectations and lost the battle again. "It is even more embarrassing.

In the battle of Shengjuejiang, the second uncle of the Miao family was also in a fierce battle. He suffered several wounds, but his luck was bad, and he retreated with the army.Even though the Celestial Dynasty is conquering Annan for the second time, the second uncle of the Miao family is wounded, but he cannot go to the battlefield, he can only look up to the sky and sigh.

Xie Qinian comforted the third wife softly, "You take a nap, okay?" and coaxed the third wife to sleep.Every day, only when the third wife rests, Xie Qinian can breathe a sigh of relief, sit at Hua Nian's place, and gossip for a while.

"Be good and serve your wife." Xie Qinian ordered the eldest girl to carry a book before leaving the house, "If your wife wants tea or water, don't neglect it. If your wife wakes up, please come back to me quickly." Huai Shu Yingying bent her knees, "Yes, Second Miss."

Watching Xie Qinian help the little girl out the door, Huai Shu sighed softly.Poor girl who hasn't reached Ji's house yet, keeps looking at her own mother all day long, lest she have something wrong again and be driven back to her mother's house.It's not easy for the second miss.

Hua Nian was sitting under the side window and was writing a post, when he saw Qinian coming in, he stood up and said hello with a smile, "Second Sister." They were born in a year, and the difference is only a few months. They grew up together when they were young, and their love Self is different from others.

Qinian and Huanian sat down hand in hand, the little girl served tea, Qinian saw the words on the table, and said with a smile: "Third sister's handwriting is getting better and better." Huanian smiled and shook his head, "Where, the turning point is always It's hard to move freely, a little sluggish. After years of practice, I haven't made much progress, which made my second sister laugh."

The two were talking, when the little girl came over to report, "Second Miss, Third Miss, there are visitors from afar. They are the two nephews of the Fourth Wife's natal family, who came from Beijing." Xie Qinian thought, since there are relatives here, I am afraid It is the second wife and the third wife who have to come out to entertain guests, so they should prepare some gifts and the like.Then he got up to leave, Xie Huanian also thought in general, and didn't stay much.

The visitors are Yue Ze and Yue Cheng.These two teenagers are about the same age as Shen Chen and Yue Chi, Yue Ze is a few months younger than Shen Chen, Yue Cheng is a few months younger than Yue Chi, and they have been playing since childhood.

Yue Ze is 14 years old and Yue Cheng is 11 years old. The two boys are not of good stature, they are both average tall.Yue Cheng has been a silly big man since he was born, and when he grows up, he is a head taller than children of the same age.

The two are dressed in the same way: wearing a purple gold crown with hair on their heads, Qi eyebrows with two dragons playing with pearls and golden foreheads, wearing sapphire blue arrow sleeves, and blue satin court boots on their feet.Their appearances are also very similar, they all have long eyebrows, eyes like bright stars, and heroic.

Yue Cheng was complaining to the fourth wife, "Auntie, Brother Chen and Brother Chi can go to the battlefield, and we two brothers have gone to great lengths to travel far away." "Mother forbids us to travel far away. This time it is grandfather Huzhou, we left Beijing with my grandfather."

The fourth wife listened with a smile.The eldest sister only has these two sons-in-law, how can she not care about it?My cousin's husband lived far away in Liaodong, and he was not in the Jingning Hou Mansion for many years, so it's no wonder that the eldest sister is too timid.

"Actually, it's good for us to go to Huzhou." Although Yue Cheng is big and young, he is still childish. Yue Pei went to Beijing together.Fu Shen was impatient, "How about I take a step first?" Yue Ze and Yue Cheng still lacked a bit of riding skills, and their physical strength was not enough, so they were holding back.

Yue Ze was a few years older, and his temperament was similar to that of his father Yue Ting. He had always been calm and prudent, and said with a smile, "We brothers and sisters haven't seen my aunt for several years, but I miss her so much." He changed the conversation.

After talking about the cold and temperature, Yue Ze and Yue Cheng accompanied the fourth wife to Xuanhui Hall to meet the old lady, second wife, and third wife, and then called on Old Master Xie and Fourth Master Xie.Yue Ze Yuecheng was handsome, courteous, and very likable. He received a lot of generous greeting gifts and settled down in Xie's mansion.The two of them had to wait until Yue Pei returned to Beijing from Huzhou before returning together.

"Cousin!" Xie Jinnian and Xie Liunian naturally wanted to meet these two cousins.One of the two is a little over three years old, and the other is less than three years old. They still often call "brother" as "de".

Yue Ze politely called "Sixth Cousin, Seventh Cousin", while Yue Cheng squatted down with a smile on his face, "You two little ones, call me Brother!" Two little sisters who look like little powder balls are really fun.

Xie Jinnian called "Biao's" obediently again, but Xie Liunian refused to call again.This kind of half-grown child is the most annoying and lazy to care about him.Is Yue Ze and Yue Cheng in front of him Uncle Zhang's nephew?It doesn't look like Uncle Zhang.

The two little girls didn't care much about their cousin. They knew it was her cousin when they met, but they forgot when they didn't.The three eldest girls in the mansion are different.Xie Qinian, Xie Huanian, and Xie Fengnian had also met Yue Ze and Yue Cheng. Facing the tall, handsome, mature and prudent Yue Ze, some of the three girls of similar age had reddish faces, some had calm expressions, and some were shy and timid.

More or less tempted.Yue Ze's family background is not picky, his parents are from famous families.His father is the legitimate son of the Jingning Houfu, and now he is the governor of Liaodong, a powerful official in Xinjiang.Her mother is the legitimate daughter of the Han family in Runan, she is gentle and dignified, and has a good reputation.Yue Ze's talent is outstanding, his age is about the same, and there is nothing wrong with him.

"Qi'er, I think this man is doing well." The third wife saw Yue Ze, and she was overjoyed, "Although he doesn't have a title, but luckily his father is capable. It's definitely not bad." Thinking very long-term.

Xie Qinian blushed, and said in a low voice, "Mom, keep your voice down!" She was afraid that others might not hear her.We are women, we must be reserved, we must be reserved.Otherwise, it will be looked down upon.

The third wife slapped her daughter with a smile, "Your mother kissed me, isn't this very happy." She was carried away for a while.I've calculated before that the son of the fourth wife's natal cousin is good, but now it seems that my vision is really good!

The second wife looked at it coldly for a few days, and the third wife often went to chat with the fourth wife, and the fourth wife was polite, but she didn't solicit, so she knew that the fourth wife had no intention of doing this.Hua Nian and Qi Nian have the same status, if Qi Nian fails, so does Hua Nian.

Hua Nian is such a good girl, but she suffers from being born in a concubine!The second wife was out of her mind for a long time and hated her birth.If Hua Nian was a girl from the eldest house, or a girl from the fourth house, how could the fourth wife be like this.

The Xie family treated Yue Ze very well from top to bottom, the old grandpa and the old lady cared for him, Xie's fourth master and fourth wife greeted him with care, even the second wife and third wife's respectable relatives rushed like a pot of fire.There are also three cousins ​​who are in their cardamom years, who often send home-made kit Kat cakes, entertaining guests with hospitality, and showing the friendship of the landlord.

Yue Cheng was not idle either.Now he is not controlled by his parents, and his grandfather is not around. He is like a wild horse that has run free. He only shows his face in the ethnology every day, and then slips out to play.No one took him seriously, Yue Cheng was at ease.

"Xiaoqi, listen to what my cousin says, and my cousin will give you a doll." Yue Cheng knelt down, lowered his head and teased Xie Liunian.Xie Liunian stretched out a small palm to him, "Five." I have five dolls.

"Then, my cousin will give you a kaleidoscope." Yue Cheng gestured, "The inside is so beautiful, it's ever-changing!" Xie Liunian still stretched out a small palm to him, "Five." I also have five kaleidoscopes.

Yue Cheng didn't give up, "Xiaoqi, my cousin gave you a telescope!" This is a rare thing, very rare among the people.Xie Liunian looked calm, and still gave him a small palm, "Five." Uncle Zhang gave one, each of the four brothers and sisters of the Zhang family gave one, and I have five.

Yue Cheng patted his head, suddenly realized, "Xiao Qi, you still don't understand the words." I thought she really did.I just realized that she is still a little fool, no matter what she asks, she always stretches out her little hand and says "five".

You can't understand the words!Xie Liunian gave him a blank look, and ran away with his calf.Uncle Zhang's nephew, it's really hard to talk to him.

The Jingning Marquis Mansion sent stewards over twice, with big carts and small carts bringing a lot of supplements, medicinal materials, gifts, colorful satins, etc. One was to pay respects to the old man and the old lady, and the other was to pick up Yue Zeyue. Cheng returns to Beijing.Yue Ze has nothing to do, Yue Cheng will not leave, "Brother, play for another year and a half." The Xie family is fun.

I have been playing for more than half a year, until the barbarian army broke through the important towns of many countries, broke through the natural dangers of the Pantan River, Annan was defeated, and the leader of the rebellious party was captured and sent to the capital.The Celestial Dynasty was finally ashamed, and the emperor was overjoyed, and fully rewarded the army conquering barbarians.Zhang Yu was granted the title of Marquis of Nanning, with a yearly salary of two thousand stones.

"Xiaoqi, your Uncle Zhang won the battle." Fourth Master Xie held his little daughter in his arms, holding Zhang Yi's letter in his hand, with a faint smile on his face, "Aunt Zhang and a pair of young children set off for the capital from Huzhou. I will pass by Taikang soon." Then we can meet again.

"You, Uncle Zhang, have won the battle."what's the situation?When did Uncle Zhang go to war? Why have I never heard of it?Xie Liunian turned his head to look at Fourth Master Xie, his big eyes were full of surprise.
