Kido

Chapter 60

After the third bath, Uncle Xie and Mrs. Xie ordered someone to invite the third master and third wife to come and talk.The eldest wife sorted out all the young men of the right age from the old relatives and relatives, "The second son of the Lu family is gentle and honest, and the youngest son of the Liu family is good-looking..." Pick one for your second girl, and settle down quickly.

The three wives despise all of them. "The Lu family is fine, it's a well-known family, but the second son of his family has no fame. Liu's family is rich, but his three sisters-in-law are older than the other." Either the man is useless, or the sister-in-law is powerful, Always disapproving of her.

The third master thinks that everyone is good, but "it's okay to take it slow." He is not a good husband, and he is not considerate to the third wife at all.But he is still a father who cares about his children. Knowing that Qinian is a girl with ideas, he wants to ask her what she thinks.

The third wife stood up gracefully, "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law, for your concern. Does Qi'er still live in Boyaxuan? I'll go and see her." She looked like she didn't want to talk deeply.She was very dissatisfied with the eldest wife in her heart, and always felt that the eldest wife obviously had a good child in her hands, but she was unwilling to protect Xie Qinian as a matchmaker.

The eldest wife sighed secretly and had no choice but to give up.The third wife walked to Boyaxuan with two big girls, and then arrived at the corridor, where a little girl wearing a green satin waistcoat was standing there. When she saw the third wife, she hurried forward to salute and say hello, and replied with a smile: "The girl is working as a maid in the embroidery room." What a demure second girl.

The third wife did not allow anyone to inform her, and quietly entered the embroidery room.In front of the embroidery frame, Xie Qinian had a misty smile on her face, and concentrated on embroidering a gorgeous red peony with her head down. "What a bright job." The third wife smiled and watched for a while, and couldn't help but praise it.Look at my Qier, how skillful she is!Xie Qinian raised her head and saw the third wife, she hurriedly left her embroidery work to pay her respects, and brought green tea with her own hands, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I really miss you."

The third wife waved impatiently and dismissed the maid.Holding Xie Qinian's little hand, he said angrily what the old lady had said, "If she was really kind, what would she have done long ago? I was only in a hurry at this time, and I just found you some crooked melons and cracked dates!"

Xie Qinian lowered her head, raised her head and opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.I only gently persuaded the third wife, "Mother, don't be so idle and spoil yourself for nothing." No matter how angry you are, the eldest wife will not be able to fight with you.

The third wife complained to Xie Qinian for a long time, and in the afternoon, Fang reluctantly left.She really wanted to stay and be with her daughter day and night, living a comfortable life in Xie's mansion, but the old lady didn't like her, seeing her gave her a headache.

After the third wife left, Xie Qinian was stunned for a while.He hasn't come to visit Xie's mansion yet, he hasn't come to propose marriage yet, what is he waiting for?Didn't it mean that Xun's body is very weak, and his life is only in the blink of an eye?

Ever since I lived in Dengshikou Street, where the gates are strictly guarded, I haven't seen him for many days.Xie Qinian stood up irritably and paced in the courtyard.If you procrastinate, you will get older, and you can't wait any longer!If it is delayed any longer, I'm afraid the Xie family will randomly match him.

Laughter came from the gate of the courtyard.Xie Ruinian walked in surrounded by five or six big girls and young girls.Xie Ruinian was wearing a big red shirt and skirt, and his little face was flushed, "Second Sister!" He shouted happily.She is an optimist, happy to meet everyone, happy to meet everyone.

"Second sister, I'm taking women's work class today." Xie Ruinian went to Xie Qinian's embroidery room with a smile, "The teacher said that my foundation is too poor, so let me go back and work harder. Good sister, the butterflies you embroider seem to be able to fly, teach me me."

Xie Qinian smiled, "Fifth sister, it's best to calm down when embroidering." Xie Ruinian's temperament is carefree, and he may not be able to sit down at all. How can he embroider flowers and butterflies with aura?

Xie Ruinian didn't take it seriously, "My mother said, I just want to do my best, and I don't want to be perfect." The eldest wife treated her generously, and didn't ask her to be perfect in everything, and she didn't manage her with rules and etiquette. damn.

Xiao Wu is lucky.Xie Qinian was momentarily absent-minded.Speaking of which, Xiao Wu, the concubine daughter of the Xie family, is much better than herself, right?After all, she is the servant's daughter.The daughters of the Xie family were brought up together by the concubine and the concubine. Compared with the concubine daughter Xiaoliu, the two concubines had the same food and clothing expenses, and there was no distinction between them.

"...I'm pretty diligent, better than Xiaoqi. I make a small sachet, purse or something from time to time, but she's lucky, she doesn't start sewing for a year and a half." Xie Ruinian said inadvertently.

Xie Qinian smiled slightly, but did not speak.When I was Ruinian's age, I already knew how to make shoes.Small sachets and purses are nothing to worry about.In a girl's house, the female workers can't show their hands, but how can they meet people.Xiao Wu Xiao Qi is a concubine, her aunt pretends to be virtuous and "praises and kills", the old lady dotes on her, she was comfortable when she was young, but she suffers when she grows up.

"Zhang Naishan, is your family entertaining guests the day after tomorrow?" The wisteria courtyard was quiet, only Xie Liunian and Zhang Xie were there.The two sat face to face on a rock, eating wisteria cake.

"The day after tomorrow, is it the rest day?" Zhang Yi pinched his fingers to calculate the date, and said resolutely, "Please, I want to treat you." On the day of rest, there must be a treat.Didn't my mother say that to be a human being, you have to treat guests to dinner a lot, and you have to eat a good meal?

"Then, invite me too." Xie Liunian leaned over with a flattering smile, "Zhang Naishan, I've already treated you to wisteria cake, and I'm one of your treats, okay?"

"That's natural." Zhang Xi nodded seriously, "You're a little one, I count you in. No, I can't call you a little one, little junior sister." Of course I'm going to count you in, little fool, the original purpose is to invite you .Why don't you take a rest and bath for a day? Dad wants to rest, so what kind of guest should he invite?

"Then, is Xiaohong at home?" Xie Liunian asked attentively as he handed Zhang Yi a piece of pastry.Zhang Xi said with a smile: "Xiao Hong is the pony specially given to you by Daddy, so it is naturally at home." It turns out that the little one wants to ride a horse.

I want to play cards, I want to swim, I want to ride a horse, I want to sleep on a big round bed, and sometimes I want to miss my grandfather, father and mother, little one, when will you go to my house just because you miss me.

Zhang Xi felt that he was at a disadvantage right now, the little girl grew up too slowly, we have known each other for so many years, and she is still a child!But Zhang Xi is a kind young man, after thinking about it, he felt that she agreed to marry him when she was just over one year old, and it was okay if she grew up a little slower.

Zhang Xi returned to Nanning Hou's Mansion and forced Zhang Xie to reconcile with Xieyu and post an invitation to invite guests the day after tomorrow. "It's not difficult to invite guests." Xie Yu said with a smile: "But what kind of name should we set up?" There must be a reason, it's not a year or a festival, and it's not a birthday.The Marquis of Nanning has never held flower fairs or poetry fairs.

Zhang Xi contemplated hard.Zhang Yu couldn't bear it, and tugged on Xie Yu's skirt, "Forget it." Don't make things difficult for his son.Xie Yu ignored him, looked at Zhang Yi with a smile, and waited for him to think of something.Parents can't be with him forever, he has to learn to make up his own mind.Wuji is really just like father and father, he is so used to children.

Zhang Xie's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to Zhang Xie, "Daddy, chicken bowl cups!" Last month, the emperor rewarded him with two pairs of Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cups.The chicken bowl cup is a famous wine vessel in Cheng Kiln. Uncle Xie is addicted to wine, so if you ask him to drink from the chicken bowl cup, he will definitely go to the appointment with pleasure.

Zhang Yu was about to praise his "smart son" with a smile on his face, so he poured cold water on him, "You can invite Xie Wanhong for the chicken bowl cup, but you may not be able to invite the little one." At that time, your Uncle Xie will go to the meeting alone and drink alone. Let's see what you do manage.

In the end, three invitation cards were sent to the Xie Mansion.One is Zhang Xie inviting Xie Siye to "appreciate the chicken bowl cup", the other is Zhang Xie inviting Xie Yannian and Xie Tangnian to appreciate the original ink woodcut book of Magu Mountain Fairy Altar, and the other is Yaya inviting Xie Liunian to "go over the house" Hangout".

"Uncle Xie Shi either won't see the chicken bowl cup, or he will bring the little ones with him." Zhang Xi calculated and made up his mind.A pair of chicken bowl cups are "worth one hundred thousand", but they are priceless in the market, and there is nowhere to buy them.There are not many rare items in the palace, so if you don't believe him, he won't come.

The three invitation cards were sent to Fourth Master Xie together, and Zhang Yi blushed again and again, "My father said that drinking wine in a chicken bowl cup has a different taste. Uncle Shi, please show your face."

Fourth master Xie didn't say a word.Zhang Xi's heart was pounding, whether you will go or not, can you give me an accurate word?Do you take your little one with you?I promised her everything.If you don't go, it will be so sad for the little one.

Zhang Xi bid farewell and left.After turning back, Qiqi Ai Ai added a few words, "My father only got a few bottles of good wine." To lure him with wine.Then he turned back and said, "My father got two pairs of chicken pot cups. The whole family is good, so I should give you a pair."

On the holiday, Xie Liunian tidied things up early, looked at the gate of the courtyard eagerly, and waited for Fourth Master Xie to call for someone.Waiting and waiting, finally the wait came, "Playful girl." Fourth Master Xie ordered his little daughter to get into his carriage.

When they arrived at Nanning Hou's Mansion, Zhang Yu and Shen Chen accompanied Xie Siye to drink. Zhang Yi and Yue Chi invited Xie Yannian and Xie Tangnian to appreciate calligraphy and painting.

Xie Yannian and Xie Tangnian looked at each other, and turned around inadvertently, only Yue Chi was behind them, not Zhang Yi. "Where's Brother Naishan?" Xie Yannian asked.Yue Chi smiled gently, "He has a little matter, so I have to excuse you for a while." Xie Yannian nodded understandingly.

Zhang Xi is indeed a little bit of a trifle.He was teaching Xie Liunian how to ride a horse, "Junior Junior Sister, horses are very smart, you will know whether you can ride it... the upper body must sit upright, it must be straight..."

Xie Liunian has a good sense of horse and is a fast learner.After the noon break, Xie Liunian was still drinking in the front hall, and Xie Liunian got on the little red horse again.Zhang Xi held the rein, not allowing her to run fast, "Junior Junior Sister, please run slowly first, don't be impatient."

A soldier ran over in a hurry and saluted respectfully, "Third Young Master." He whispered a few words in Zhang Yi's ear.Zhang Xi remained calm, "Got it." He waved his hands and ordered his soldiers to go down, and stopped the little red horse, "Junior Junior Sister, rest for a while."

"What's the matter with your family?" Xie Liunian got off his horse and went under the shed with Zhang Xi.Zhang Xi took a snow-white cloth towel to wipe the sweat off her face, and said softly, "My family is fine." It's your family that has something to do.
