Kido

Chapter 57

The third girl in the second room of Xie's family has already settled down, but the second girl in the third room is still in her boudoir. "If you don't rush early or late, your fourth aunt must keep your filial piety!" Xie Jiazu lived inside, and the third wife jumped anxiously, "This old lady Han is the same, why is she going at this time?" I really don't know how to choose the time!If you want to die, you should wait until my family's Qinian marriage is settled before you die, what are you doing in such a hurry.

Xie Qinian smiled demurely, "Mother, please be patient." I have also met many noble ladies and ladies with my aunt, fourth aunt, and eldest aunt, and there are not a few who pull themselves to praise.Come to think of it, there should be a letter in the past few months.

This trip to the capital was not in vain.I have been in and out of many dukes' homes, and the mansion of Shoufu Pavilion elders, met many close friends in the boudoir, and broadened my horizons.Even his father was a blessing in disguise?Now he is the master book of Guanglu Temple. From the seventh rank of Beijing official, he is in charge of wine, delicacy, food and shame, which is a beautiful job.It's better than being a small county magistrate in the countryside, worrying about collecting taxes, paying royal rations, and completing errands every day.

When mentioning her husband's official position, the third wife was even more dissatisfied, "Your uncle is now the left servant of the Ministry of punishment, only one step away from the Shangshu! Your fourth uncle is a lecturer at the Imperial Academy, and often lectures on the holy scriptures. Only your father, as the The concubine has no one to support him, so he just became a seventh-rank official!" Compared with a bunch of distinguished relatives, I really can't hold my head up as the wife of an official of the seventh rank.

Xie Qinian frowned slightly, "Mother, you don't want to talk like this." Father has no one to support him, so where did the shortage of the master of Guanglu Temple come from?Could it be that my father earned it himself?Guanglu Temple is in charge of banquets, but it's a fat job.

"What are you afraid of?" The third wife spoke loudly, "It's already like this anyway." Anyway, the old lady doesn't like me, and she doesn't take her with her wherever she goes. She is a serious daughter-in-law, but she doesn't even recognize her relatives and friends in Beijing!Now that I've done this, I'd rather be more comfortable and say what I want to say.

Seeing the third wife's angry expression, Xie Qinian was speechless for a while.My father has his own errand, and he leaves early and returns late every day.In the first year, she was taken to be raised by the old lady herself, and she had to go out to visit relatives and friends from time to time, to go to various poetry parties, flower parties, and tea parties. She was the only one who was bored at home all day without any entertainment.

In the past, concubines, concubines and aunts could also fight with each other, but now even this fun has been deprived.When the whole family went to Beijing, the third master Xie sent all the concubines, and when they arrived in the capital, they also confiscated the room to serve the maidservants, so that the ancestors of Xie's family were quite deserted.It's not that Mr. Xie has changed his temper. He still wants to raise beauties, but he doesn't bring them home because he thinks it's too noisy. "Originally, it was for fun, but if the wives and concubines fight and quarrel when they return home, it is not beautiful."

In this way, the third wife is pure and pure, and she is extremely lonely.The longer the time, the more desolate I feel.Xie Qinian sometimes thought pitifully, what would she do if she left the court one day?
Sometimes Xie Qinian would also go to the Xie Mansion on Dengshikou Street to say hello to the old lady, the eldest lady, and the fourth wife, and to the Mu family and others.Seeing the three little cousins ​​going to school and having fun surrounded by maids and maids one by one, I was full of envy in my heart.I think back in Taikang, I had such a time with Younian and Huanian, and I was as happy as a bird at that time!

Now one year I married into Tianchang Du's family, my disciples are noble, my parents-in-law are loving, my husband is handsome, and I am pregnant and waiting to give birth. Everything is going well.Hua Nian has also appointed the young recruit of the Mi family, who is about to leave the cabinet.Only he was still hanging in mid-air, without landing.

The smile on his face became more and more unnatural.The eldest wife's pair of piercing eyes naturally understood clearly, and told Mrs. Mu, "Search for Qi Nian." It's not a problem for such a big girl to decide her life.If he let it go, in the end, it would fall on himself, the eldest son and eldest wife.

The Mu family first answered "Yes" respectfully, and then pursed their lips and smiled, "Mother, the matter of sister Qinian is quite difficult." I don't want side children, I don't want to be handsome, I don't want to have a rich family, I just want to marry into her if you are willing. Is Duke Duke's mansion enjoying the present blessing?It is also necessary for the younger generation to be good and strive to make progress.It's really such a child, would you like to find a girl from Xie's family?If the third master is up to the challenge, or if the third wife is good at dancing, it's better, but it's neither.Shuzhi, his father is a small official, and his mother is from the countryside, which big family would want it?

The eldest wife is well aware of the habits of the third house, with high eyesight and low abilities, with great ambitions and few talents, which is the most difficult to deal with.But I can't write two words of thanks in one stroke, what can I do with them?Can only try to support.The old man is still alive, although he doesn't say anything, how can he not care about the third master's family in his heart.

Mrs. Mu smiled, and said to him from left to right, "Mom, don't blame me for being lazy, I have to let the three little sisters clean up the yard first." Originally, Xie Ruinian, Xie Jinnian, and Xie Liunian would live alone in the yard as soon as they went to school. .For Xie Ruinian, the open and spacious Rui Yuan was prepared.Xie Jinnian is a luxurious and elegant Jinyuan, and Xie Liunian is a poetic and picturesque Tianyuan like small bridges and flowing water.It was almost done, Fourth Master Xie had a whim, and wanted to build a marble pool for each of the three girls, "It can be used for bathing and swimming." Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie agreed, and Fourth Master Xie ordered someone to take it. Drawings were drawn and construction started.

As a result, the Mu family had no choice but to stop temporarily, and wait for the marble pool to be repaired before discussing the theory. "I'm afraid it will take more than half a year." Mrs. Mu estimated the approximate time.The eldest lady didn't take it seriously, "It doesn't matter if it's early or late." The old lady meant to divide the yard, and the old lady meant to repair the pool. As long as the old lady is not in a hurry, we will let it go.

While speaking, Mu Shi suddenly covered her mouth, as if feeling nauseous and vomiting.The eldest wife rejoiced in her heart, "What have you eaten these two days?" She pretended not to care, and ordered someone to invite the doctor, and explained clearly, "Please ask Doctor Tang." Doctor Tang is good at gynecology.

Doctor Tang came to Xuansi to check the pulse, and with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said congratulations, "I'm two months pregnant." He ordered the steward to bring a big red envelope and sent Doctor Tang out.The eldest lady took Mu's hand and said angrily: "How long has it been since you changed the wash? Tell me sooner."

Mu's face was flushed, and she lowered her head to fiddle with her belt, her voice was as low as a mosquito humming, "I've never been sure." So I'm not sure, I dare not say anything.The eldest wife smiled dotingly, "Zhenzhen is still a child."

Mu's heart warmed up, "Mother, I haven't moved since I entered the house for several years. Although you never said it, I feel really ashamed and flustered." Cousin hasn't been happy for half a year since she got married, and her mother-in-law has been nagging since morning. Night.

The eldest lady smiled slightly, "What's the matter. I was only pregnant with Song'er in the third year after entering the door." The old lady never said anything.As for the matter of children and heirs, it is better to let nature take its course.

After Mrs. Xie found out about the good news, she ordered a lot of medicinal materials and supplements. From what to eat and drink to what to wear comfortably and which sleeping position is the best, she managed everything tightly.They also specially sent two nanny who had given birth to children to serve Mrs. Mu, "Good boy, don't think they are long-winded, it's all for your own good."

The servants and maids in the family are all rewarded, which is as festive as the Chinese New Year.Uncle Xie ordered someone to dig out a jar of aged Lihuabai, and cheerfully invited Fourth Master Xie, "Yulang, let's have a drink with elder brother." Elder brother is about to become a grandfather.

Fourth Master Xie praised: "Good wine!" After drinking a glass of good wine, he felt comfortable all over his body and took care of everything, "Brother, when you become a grandfather, I will teach you how to hold your child." Uncle Xie can't drink enough, no two glasses Feeling drunk, he said lightly, "Okay, okay." Waiting for you to teach me to hold the baby.

After drinking a ton of wine, Fourth Master Xie looked normal and went to Jingxin Courtyard. "A Li, let's have another child." He murmured holding He Li uncontrollably, determined to have another child.Knowing that he had wine, He Li agreed with a smile, and coaxed him to wash up and lie down.

"It doesn't matter if you look like Tang'er or like Xiaoqi." Fourth Master Xie was still chattering after he lay down. it is good.Xiao Qi is only a little old, and already has a heart, if there is another Xiao Qi, she will not be easily abducted by a foreign man.

Fourth Master Xie was lying in He Li's arms, like a spoiled little boy, talking about this and that willfully.He Li stared at him tenderly, and said, "Okay, yes, yes." It was like coaxing a child.

"A Li, you are as beautiful as the moon." Fourth Master Xie's eyes were clear and clear, "You were also so beautiful that night. A Li, how did you lie to me then?"

He Li slowly approached him and kissed his lips, "Obviously Yulang lied to me." The two kissed again and again, while denying each other, "You lied to me." This is the first time for someone so precious , I was tricked by you little liar.

Xie Liunian was stolen again tonight.Sleeping on the big round bed after killing all directions, she talked to Zhang Yi with her eyes open, "My father said, when I live in Tianyuan, I won't be allowed to be stolen again." If you live alone, you can be considered a big girl.

Zhang Yi didn't share the same quilt with her at first, but when he heard this, he lifted up the tulle quilt, "Little one, let's cover up with a quilt." Afterwards, the little one grew up, and Uncle Xie's stingy uncle would definitely not allow her to live at home again.

Xie Liunian yawned, "Okay." A quilt on such a hot day?Well, it doesn't matter.Zhang Xi got into her bed, lay down for a while, grabbed her little hand, and placed it on his chest.

"Zhang Naishan, if it's winter, I'd definitely like to sleep in the same bed with you, how warm it is." Xie Liunian said in a daze. "Little boy, I would like to sleep with you in the same bed regardless of winter or summer." Zhang Xi was a few years older than her, and more solemn than her.

Fourth Master Xie has a good capacity for alcohol, and the next day his expression is as usual, it is not obvious that he drank too much the night before.That day the emperor called him to give a lecture, and at the end he asked a very hesitant question, "Is it appropriate for the Ninth Prince to study in the pavilion?" Only the prince can go out to study in the pavilion.

"It doesn't matter whether you go out to study in the pavilion or not." Xie Siye answered calmly, "When you go out to study in the pavilion, you can learn from people who are knowledgeable and upright. If you are knowledgeable, you can do enough to search for chapters, extract sentences, and explain micro-interpretations. If you cultivate There is nothing wrong with being a scholar, but if you want to cultivate a king, you will feel like you are scratching your head."

A smile appeared on the pale face of the emperor, "You and the Marquis of Nanning are having a good conversation?" Fourth Master Xie kept his expression on his face, "The residence of the Marquis of Nanning has a lot of good wine." The emperor smiled more and more, "Qing is really interesting." people."

In the spring of the second year, the three girls of the Xie family moved into their new home on an auspicious day.In addition to the wet nurse since childhood, each person is also equipped with four teaching nuns, two big maids, four young maids, and six rough envoys.Xie Liunian suddenly felt that his worth had doubled, commanding so many people over me!
"I'm going to school, I'm not a baby anymore." Old Madam Xie cheerfully said, "In the future, I have to learn principles and rules, and learn to manage things by myself!" No matter how spoiled a young lady is, she must learn to manage the people around her well. .

Tianyuan is very close to Jingxinyuan, only separated by a narrow cobblestone road.Xie Liunian would often take two big girls, Lu Ming and Zhiping, for a walk to Jingxin Courtyard after dinner, to chat with He Li.

I often meet Fourth Master Xie.It is often Fourth Master Xie and He Li who look at each other infatuatedly, and Xie Liunian flees in despair, "You two, go to bed early, go to bed early."

In April, there was a big event in the court.The emperor finally opened his mouth and solved the important matter of establishing a reserve that had been delayed for so many years: "Since I ascended the throne under the edict of the late emperor, all the military and state affairs have been carried out, and the employment and administration have been great. , trembling at night and night, looking up to the ancestor Mo Lie Zhao Fou, entrusting him with the most important, carrying on the celebration, and end in Yuanliang. The nine princes are the first heirs of the clan, and belong to the will of heaven. I hereby abide by the first imperial edict, carry out the ceremony, and obey the public opinion , I would like to tell the world, the ancestral temple, and the country, to grant the book of treasures, to establish him as the crown prince, and to be in the East Palace. I hereby order the crown prince to hold the seal and ascend to the Wenhua Palace, to divide the affairs of the general affairs, and to supervise the army and supervise the country. Everything that the hundred ministers have played, will be decided by the crown prince."

In Jingxiao Nunnery, Daoist Jingxiao stands alone in a wide robe and sleeves, with a pile of broken porcelain on the ground.A few little Taoist nuns stood by with their heads bowed, all trembling with fear, not daring to say a word.

The eldest prince walked in slowly. "Clean it up." He ordered lightly.The little Taoist nun hurriedly agreed as soon as she heard Lun's voice, and carefully squatted down to clean up the debris.The eldest prince took the hand of Master Jingxiao, walked to the quiet room and sat down. "Why should mother get angry? This is not the end, it's just the beginning." Becoming a prince does not mean that he can really sit on the throne.
