I steamed buns for the general

Chapter 73

After Mrs. Zhou reminded her, Xie Yuanqi came to his senses. He didn't notice this at the banquet. After Mrs. Zhou said it, he realized that he didn't even see his nephews and nieces today, and all he saw were the children of concubines.

Xie Yuanqi is different from Xie Yuanzhou, he is a stubborn man, but he didn't feel wronged by guarding Zhou's life all these years.Xie Yuanqi doesn't like the concubine's children, he can't accept that his respected elder brother dotes on his concubine and destroys his wife.

"No, I have to go to my elder brother tomorrow and reason with him." Xie Yuanqi lay down, still thinking about this matter in his heart.

When Xie Yuanqi really told Xie Yuanzhou about the matter the next day and the matter reached Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhou regretted not persuading her husband well.

Although this Mrs. Zhao is an aunt, she is obviously very favored here in Xie Yuanzhou, and her children are very proud.No matter how much Xie Yuanqi is a brother, he might not be able to kiss his children.This time Xie Yuanqi's family offended the Zhao family.

Zhou had no choice but to prepare a gift and send it to Lanfangyuan to apologize in person.

Aunt Zhao was drinking tea and looking sideways at a black box brought by Mrs. Zhou, which contained a pair of gold jewelry, and said calmly: "Second Madam, why is this so?"

Zhou's face flushed with embarrassment, and said embarrassingly: "Second Master didn't mean to..."

"Second wife is too polite, my concubine is just an aunt, but I can't be the second wife's gift." Aunt Zhao said coldly, but she scolded the second wife in her heart, they are just bumpkins, hold this and wait Three bad things came to send her away.

Mrs. Zhou was annoyed. After all, she is also the wife of the second master. This Mrs. Zhao is just an aunt but she is so arrogant. She was originally displeased with Xie Yuanzhou to preach to Xie Yuanzhou because of Xie Yuanqi, but now seeing Mrs. Zhao's attitude, she feels that she is a man. exactly.

The words were not speculative, and the two of them said a few words lightly, and Aunt Zhao dismissed Mrs. Zhou under the pretext of being in charge.As soon as Mrs. Zhou returned to the courtyard where she lived, a maid from Zhao's courtyard came with a tray behind her, "This is a gift from my aunt to the second lady and the third lady, and they are all worthless. dislike."

The maid put down her things and left. Xie Zhimei opened the box and was immediately attracted by the jewelry inside. She said pleasantly, "Mother, this face is so beautiful."

Zhou's probe took a look, and immediately became angry. The head and face in the box were brand new and beautiful, not to mention the fine workmanship, and the words "Beauty Square" were engraved on the end, which was very different from the old-fashioned jewelry that Zhou brought over.This Zhao family monster can't help but look at the jewelry she sent, he has a lot of money, so he doesn't care about his own things.And after she left, Mrs. Zhao sent someone to present this beautiful face, obviously to embarrass Mrs. Zhou. By the way, she told them that Aunt Zhao didn't care for things from them country bumpkins.

"What's the matter, mother?" Xie Zhimei looked at Mrs. Zhou worriedly, and Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth and said, "Well, Aunt Zhao, I'll never end with you." Then she closed the box, and ran to Lanfang Courtyard angrily to put the jewelry box away Throw it in, "Okay, you bullying Aunt Zhao, let's wait and see."

Xie Yuanqi soon heard about it and was very upset, "Brother is really confused." During the day, he went to Xie Yuanzhou and told his elder brother about the husband and wife. Don't answer at all.

Their second room was originally here to join the eldest room, and the Zhou family didn't want to be troublesome, and always wanted to wait for Xie Yuanqi to find an errand, and the family would move out, never looking at Aunt Zhao's face again.

After a few days, the Erfang family still did not see Mrs. Qiao's mother and son. Xie Yuan became anxious and told Mrs. Zhou: "Since my sister-in-law is sick in bed, my nephew and niece still have to see her. You will take Zhimei to see your niece tomorrow." It's the elder brother's fault to treat the first-born children well, but as the second uncle, he must recognize these truths and not let the elder brother go wrong.

Mrs. Zhou agreed, and in the past few days, she has also inquired about a lot of things about Mrs. Xie's mansion in private. Ms. Zhou also knew that Mrs. Zhao was in charge of Mrs. Qiao's mansion. Things to be seen.Zhou is also a mother, and after hearing what happened to Xie Zhijin, she felt sorry for her and was worthless.

In the early years, their second wife only heard that the eldest daughter's daughter was stolen by gangsters, but they didn't want to find it back more than ten years later. It was a happy thing for everyone, but they couldn't figure it out. See.

It doesn't matter what they think in their hearts, the important thing is that they still need to rely on Da Fang.

The Zhou family took Xie Zhimei to the Wenxue Courtyard. Looking all the way, she was very disappointed that a daughter from the first line lived in such a remote place.

But as soon as he entered Wenxueyuan, Mrs. Zhou really felt that it was like a countryman entering the Grand View Garden, and everything was exquisite.And the smiling girl on the other side, could it be Miss Xie's family?
Both Zhou and Xie Zhimei were infatuated, and it was Xie Zhijin who called back the souls of the two, "I didn't know that my aunt and sister came. It was supposed to be my niece who went to see my aunt, but I troubled my aunt to go. Hurry up." Please."

The two parties were treated differently, which made Zhou and Xie Zhimei very upset.Followed into the house, and the maid served tea, Zhou really felt that this was a family.

"When did Auntie arrive in the capital?" Zhijin smiled and looked at the mother and daughter who were a little embarrassed, and her voice was softer.

Xie Zhimei lowered her head and looked at the teacup in her hand awkwardly, and Zhou replied with a smile: "It's been a few days, I've been busy putting things away and even forgot to notify my niece."

Zhijin smiled warmly, "It's nothing, it's all a family, so you're welcome." Turning to Yue, she said, "Go get some snacks for my sister."

Yue replied and went to the small kitchen, and came back with a plate after a while.Put some exquisite pastries on the small plate, put it in front of Xie Zhimei and salute politely, "Girl, please."

Seeing Xie Zhijin's thoughtfulness and politeness, Mrs. Zhou was filled with emotion and didn't know what to say.

Xie Zhimei took a piece of pastry and tasted it carefully, looked up at Zhijin in surprise, and boasted like a child: "Sister, this pastry is really delicious."

"Go back and pretend some more, and let my sister take it back later." Zhijin ordered.

Xie Zhimei blushed, and said, "No...no need..."

Zhou scolded: "You child, if my sister gives it to you, just take it. You are all a family, so why bother to be polite." Turning around, he sighed and said to Zhijin, "You are also a poor child, and you think well. Auntie has heard about it, so don't worry about it, there will always be someone who is your beloved."

Just one sentence warmed Zhijin's heart.She has been in Xie's family for more than three years, and no elder in this Xie's family has ever spoken to her so kindly.

As for Zhou, he thinks more.Although Miss Xie's reputation is bad, but looking at the interior and exterior decoration of the yard, she can be seen as a rich person, and there must be some ways to make money.Their Erfang's family is poor, apart from the two Zhuangzi in Qingzhou, they have no other income.Entering Beijing will only cost more, without money, it is absolutely impossible.

Xie Yuanzhou's kung fu is indispensable, but this rich master should not be underestimated.

Mrs. Zhou didn't stay long, chatted about the local customs and customs along the way, and took Xie Zhimei to leave.From then on, Xie Zhimei came here to sit and talk every now and then.

On the other hand, Xie Yuanzhou was interested in Aunt Zhao's words.Because the matchmaker was Duke Huai, he only knew a little about the Xuanwei Mansion but did not inquire deeply about it.Little is known about his prospective son-in-law, Li Wei.Xie Yuanzhou couldn't help blaming himself, after hearing Aunt Zhao's words, Xie Yuanzhou sent someone to follow Li Wei, and he must get the answer.

After a few days, the person sent out came back, this person was Xie Yuanzhou's confidant, and he blushed when he saw Xie Yuanzhou faltering.

Xie Yuanzhou was anxious, and asked angrily: "If you have any news, just tell me."

His confidant Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and said it outright: "My subordinates followed Mr. Li for several days, and found that he is very masculine, and he has taken care of several young masters in other courtyards."

"What?" Xie Yuanzhou was so angry that he couldn't believe his ears, "Is this really true?"

Zhang Cheng nodded, and continued: "If you don't believe me, you can go down with your subordinates to find out. Right now, Second Master Li is hanging out with that young master in a courtyard in Dengshikou Hutong." I don't feel ashamed, an imposing seven-foot man is so masculine.

Xie Yuanzhou's heart was getting colder and colder, but he subconsciously couldn't believe it.This Li Wei is the son-in-law whom he begged King Huai to act as a matchmaker. At first, he thought that the other party was a direct heir and he was a high-ranking man, but now that he thinks about it, the Xuanwei Mansion agreed to the marriage happily from the very beginning. Could it be that there is something tricky about it?

"Let's go, take someone with you, and go take a look." Xie Yuanzhou changed his clothes, and led by Zhang Cheng down to Dengshikou Hutong.

Wenxue courtyard.

Xie Zhijin drank tea, and asked lightly, "Go now?"

Chu Yu smiled and nodded: "Going, it took a lot of effort to lure Zhang Cheng to find out. Zhang Cheng is also a fool, and he can lose everyone. If I didn't use a trick, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get what I wanted."

"I have already done what I should do. It can be regarded as repaying Xie Yuanzhou's favor for raising Zhihang. I have no friendship with Xie Yuanzhou at all. From now on, I will not be soft." Xie Zhijin's eyebrows and eyes were light, as if gossip, It was only at such a close distance that Chuyu could find the coldness in her eyes.
