Chapter 39

Thanks to the family for many good things.Not long after Xie Siye went to high school, good news came from Taikang: the fourth wife Han gave birth to a baby boy on the first day of May, and the mother and child are safe.Another grandson!Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie were overjoyed and immediately named it "Xie Bainian".

"We have an extra brother! Isn't Xiaoqi Gao happy?" Xie Yannian was delighted, and asked Xie Liunian with a smile on his face.Xie Liunian smiled obediently, "Happy." Really happy, fortunately it's a boy, not a girl.

At night, Xie Liunian slept in the big bed with his parents.Half asleep and half awake, I heard my parents discussing, "A Li, let's add another sibling to Tanger and Xiaoqi?" "Okay, Tanger and Xiaoqi will definitely like it."

Xie Liunian didn't sleep anymore, and sat up in a daze, "No!" Who wants younger siblings?If it is possible to retire, it would be best if even my brother retired and let me be the only child again.Although my brother is very good, he will steal my mother!
She was An Ansheng and fell asleep, but the sudden coming together startled Fourth Master Xie and He Li, "Xiao Qi!" He Li hurriedly hugged her and patted her gently, "Xiao Qi is not afraid." I thought She was frightened by nightmares.

"No younger siblings! I don't like younger siblings!" Xie Liunian was unequivocal.He Li coaxed her softly, "Okay, okay, no siblings, no siblings." Fourth Master Xie looked at his little daughter angrily, and Yan'er asked her in the afternoon, didn't she say that she was happy to have a younger brother?Now he changed his tune again.

What made Fourth Master Xie even more depressed was yet to come.His precious daughter, Xiaoqi, would often walk up to He Li after a while, tilting her head and looking at He Li's stomach carefully. "Very slim!" Seeing that He Li's stomach was still flat, he was relieved and left.

Fourth Master Xie and He Li looked at each other, feeling helpless.How bad is it to have a younger brother or younger sister, Xiao Qi will look like this.It seemed that having a brother or sister would hinder her.

Uncle Xie discussed with Fourth Master Xie about buying a house, "The two of us are in the capital, and our parents are in Taikang. If we bring Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie here, it will be too crowded to live in.

Fourth Master Xie thought it was right, "Brother is thoughtful, so I will do as you say." Parents should pick it up, and they should also buy a spacious house.Xie Yannian and Xie Tangnian are getting older and should have their own yard.If the whole family lives in the ancestral home, the children will definitely be wronged.

After the two brothers discussed, the matter of buying a house was handed over to the eldest wife, "The bigger the better, the closer to the imperial city, the better." Xie's family is not short of money, and if they want to buy it, they naturally want to buy a spacious and bright house that is convenient for going to court. of.

The eldest wife is going to marry her daughter in October, and she is already too busy to touch the ground. "It's just in time for this!" The eldest wife took tea with Xie Younian in her busy schedule, and complained: "At least after this year, next year's spring will come in time."

Xie Younian thoughtfully refilled the hot tea for the eldest wife, "Mother, don't do everything yourself, there is no sister-in-law here, you teach her more." If you have a daughter-in-law, use it when you need it.

The eldest wife sighed, "That's the only way." The daughter-in-law should take her by her side and teach her carefully, if she can stand alone, how much trouble she would save herself.Fortunately, I only have a concubine, Rui Nian, in my room, and there is no concubine, so naturally I won't have a concubine and daughter-in-law.If there are two concubines and two concubines and daughters-in-law under the knees of an old lady, then the famine will be hit.

The second master and the second wife are relatively easy, but the third master's back house is in chaos.The third wife often made the old lady angry in Taikang, and she couldn't live there, so she had to follow the third master to take up the post.I heard that it is also a chicken and a dog jumping.Alas, what is out of sight is clear, the husband and wife don't make the old lady angry.

To say that everything in the Xie family has been going well this year, the brothers of the Xie family decided to look for a house, and there happened to be a Huang Shilang from the Ministry of Industry returning to his hometown after returning home.This Huang Shilang is from the south of the Yangtze River, his family is wealthy, and his house is huge, covering an area of ​​about ten mu, the garden alone has five or six mu of land.The house is divided into a front yard and a back yard. The front yard is where guests and friends are entertained, and the back yard is where family members live.The pavilions, small bridges and flowing water are quite beautiful.And it is located on Dengshikou Street, very close to the Imperial City.The Xie brothers went to see it, and they liked it very much.

The two brothers of the Xie family are handsome in appearance, their gestures are full of charm, and their conversation is even more gentle.Huang Shilang was overjoyed, "This garden has just got its master today." It seems that such an elegant person will live up to the garden he has carefully tended.His family is rich, and he doesn't care about housing prices, "It doesn't matter if it's 3 taels or 5 taels, I'll listen to you."

The Xie family brothers all disagreed, "It's unreasonable!" The garden covers a vast area with beautiful pavilions, even if it's not worth 10 taels, it's worth at least 8 taels, and it can't be sold for [-] taels.Taikang Xie's family doesn't take advantage of this.

After pushing back and forth, Huang Shilang finally accepted the banknote of 8 taels of silver.All the utensils of Ying's family were left with the Xie brothers. Huang Shilang took a large carriage and took his servants with him, and set off back to the south of the Yangtze River in a leisurely manner. "The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is old and familiar." It is better to go back to the hometown.

After buying the house, the eldest wife and Mrs. Mu were busy cleaning the house and relocating the belongings. Moreover, after the house got bigger, it would take a lot of work to add a lot of manpower and buy servants and maids.

Fourth Master Xie took his two sons and one daughter to the new residence when he was taking a rest.Xie Liu went back and forth over the years, and finally asked enthusiastically, "Daddy, can I live in a yard alone?" This house is very big, counting it, it is enough.

"No." Fourth Master Xie's voice was flat, as was his face.You are only three or four years old this year, and you are only so young, so you want to live alone?Let's live alone when I'm ten years old, and it's too early now.

That night, after returning to Xie's house, Xie Liunian insisted on sleeping in the big bed, insisting on sleeping between Fourth Master Xie and He Li, and insisting on staying up late at night.He Li was so troubled that he couldn't help it, and Fourth Master Xie hated him so much.

Firstly, cleaning up the houses in the capital will take a lot of effort; secondly, the newly born Bo Geer is still young and cannot travel far; thirdly, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie care about their homeland and cannot bear to stay away.Therefore, the fourth wife still lived in Taikang with Xie Jinnian and the newly born Xie Bainian, and never left for Beijing.

On the eighth day of October, the eldest lady of the Xie family, Xie Younian, left the pavilion with red makeup.Uncle Xie, who has always been calm and prudent, had slightly wet eyes, not to mention the eldest wife, who wet several handkerchiefs from crying.Although the marriage is not far away, from today onwards, the sweetheart that I have raised since I was a child has become a member of my husband's family.

That day, Jieyu went out early, he and Yaya rode in a carriage, Shen Chen and Yue Chi rode horses, and the family of four went to Du Ge's old mansion for a banquet.Du Ge is always Xie Yu's cousin, the Du family, the An family, and the Zhang family have always been close.

When we arrived at Du's mansion, there were already a lot of guests.The steward of Zhike came to the street, "Madam Zhang, Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, Eldest Miss, this way please." Yin Qinqin asked Xie Yu and Yaya to get into the sedan chair, followed by Shen Chen and Yue Chi, walking from a row A row of cars zigzags into the Du Mansion.

I have met the master, saluted and greeted him, and talked about the cold and temperature.After scrutinizing him over and over again, Mr. Du Ge looked displeased, "Where are Wuji and Xiao Axie?" Why don't they come to have a wedding wine.Usually, I often visit the mansion, but I am too lazy to hide on such a big day.

Shen Chen, Yue Chi, and Yaya all sniggered without speaking.Xie Yu smiled and explained, "Wuji took Ah Xie to Xie's house. Uncle, Wuji and Xie's family are also relatives." So our family is divided into two groups, one group goes to the banquet at the man's house, and the other group goes to the woman's house banquet.

I see.Old Du Ge raised his beard and smiled, "Wuji and Xie Tanhua are really close, even the Holy Majesty knows about it. Two days ago, the Holy Majesty laughed and said that Wuji has become more and more elegant recently." His manner and conversation seemed to be different from before.

After leaving the living room, Yaya found a secluded place to laugh.Shen Chen and Yue Chi followed her and rubbed her belly, laughing too.Yaya bent down and smiled for a while, "Can someone who is going to take the No. [-] examination be indecent?" Poor father, he was made miserable by his little brother.

Their father didn't think so, Xingxing took his youngest son to Xie's house in Mingyufang, and drank the wedding wine with a smile on his face.Uncle Xie is marrying his daughter this year. In a few years, it will be Xie Wanhong marrying his daughter!
After sitting for a while, Zhang Xi couldn't sit still, "Daddy, I want to go out." The hall was full of theater and wine, it was really noisy.Zhang Yu held the wine glass in his hand, smiled and nodded, "My son, let's go."

The eldest wife married a daughter today, she was really busy and turned her back.In the midst of her busy schedule, she still noticed that the youngest son of the Marquis of Nanning carefully followed Xiaoqi, feeding her water, playing with her, and seemed to have a good temper.

Take a closer look and feel wrong again.Xie Ruinian was also on the sidelines, and the youngest son of Marquis of Nanning didn't even look at her, he just walked around Xiaoqi.The eldest wife finds it funny, is Xiao Qi really more likable than Xiao Wu?

In the middle of the night, after seeing off the last group of guests, Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie returned to their room exhausted.After washing up, he leaned on the kang and chatted gossiping, tired anyway, but didn't feel sleepy at all.

Both couples were concerned about their daughter, and they didn't dare to mention it, only talking about irrelevant things.Is the play good, is the wine good, who are the guests... "I think the youngest son of Nanning Hou Zhang's family is quite good to our Xiaoqi." The eldest lady said casually.

Uncle Xie laughed, "How old is Xiaoqi." He was a year younger than Rui Nian, and he was really an ignorant child.Apart from eating, drinking and playing every day, I have nothing to worry about.

Thinking of the pair of children, the eldest wife also felt happy, "Yes, how old are they?" After a while, she said leisurely, "Speaking of it, it's a good marriage." , it is the powerful family that the royal family relies heavily on but does not suspect.

Uncle Xie said gently: "We'll talk about it when the children are older." Although the tone was gentle, the eldest wife had been husband and wife with him for more than [-] years, but she could hear the resistance in her voice, and hurriedly changed the subject, talking about something irrelevant matter of urgency.

What's wrong?The eldest lady was puzzled.As for Zhang Yu, Marquis of Nanning, maybe more than ten years ago, the rich and famous in the capital would not have paid attention to him, but Marquis Jingning was only a concubine, and his background could not be mentioned.But at this time of year, how many people would still think like this?He was brave and good at fighting, and he was named a Marquis, even the son of a famous family is no more than that.

What's more, family affairs are very secure.The Marquis of Nanning and his wife are in harmony with each other, and their three sons and one daughter are all descendants, all of them are beautiful and outstanding. "The wealth and glory in the world are exhausted, and the orchids and jade trees are all under the knees", so far in life, what can a husband ask for.

Now that the noble ladies in the capital mention Madam Hou of Nanning, which one is not envious?There has never been a concubine around, only a girl to serve.Back to the holy god to bestow beauty, Nanning Hou will certainly refuse.In the past, it was said that "the minister's family is poor and cannot afford to support him", but later he talked about the truth, "The matter of marrying a concubine is the most unreasonable thing. The world is always just such a few women. If a man takes a few more concubines, the world will change. There are a few more wiveless people. How to make it happen?" He said clearly.

The son of Nanning Marquis Mansion, after ten years old, only servants will serve him, not maids.How can people not be tempted by such a family?Now the eldest son of the Marquis of Nanning is fifteen or sixteen years old, young and heroic, imposing.How many parents who really love their daughters have set their sights on him.

Why is it that the husband doesn't think so about such a family?The eldest lady thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.Xiaoqi is the daughter of Sifang, but her husband has always treated her nephews as if they were his own, and treats Xiaoqi no worse than Younian and Ruinian.
