The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 209
Although the old lady didn't understand this intention and that intention, the words "went astray" were still clear to her.

"Are we at odds, or are they at odds?"

"They got sidetracked."

The old lady was not vague at all, "That would be a pity."

Xie Daozhi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of food for his old mother, "I have never seen anyone more understanding than my mother."

"Son, mother, this is not transparency, but knowledge."

The old lady sighed: "If you don't leave the house, who knows what the world is like outside? You are an official and the head of the family. If my mother doesn't listen to you, who will you listen to?"

"Just listen to your son."

Xie Daozhi stood up and said, "Mother, eat slowly, and my son will eat in his wife's room."

"go Go!"

The old lady was worried and warned again: "Talk to my wife carefully. Although she is not smart, she has a good heart. It has not been easy these years."

"Yes!"

……

what?
Wu was very excited. San'er invited Yan Sanhe to dinner?

Why please?
Didn’t we just have dinner together yesterday?

Wu held the handkerchief tightly and frowned. If Evian knew about this, what should she do?

"Master is here."

Wu quickly stood up to greet her and said with a smile, "Master, can we have dinner?"

Xie Daozhi: "Not yet, I just finished greeting the old lady."

"Has the old lady used it?"

"It's in use."

Mrs. Wu hurriedly asked her servants to serve the food, and then personally fetched a wet towel to clean the man's hands.

After some busy work, the couple sat facing each other. Wu thanked Daozhi for serving the dishes, and then picked out the thorns of the steamed fish one by one.

"Master, eat more, and your face will look a little clearer."

"Don't be busy, you eat too."

Xie Daozhi drank a few cups of wine, and when he saw that Mrs. Wu had almost finished using it, he said, "That girl from the Du family will never come to the house again."

The chopsticks in Wu's hand fell off the table, "What do you mean, sir?"

Xie Daozhi picked up the chopsticks and put them into Wu's hands: "In the future, let's give San'er something better to look at."

"There's nothing better!"

Wu's heart felt sour.

"The Du family must have a good family background, Miss Du must have good looks, and a good character. Looking at the capital, there is no one else who can compare with her."

Xie Dao was speechless.

Wu looked at the man and said, "Master, we have been married for many years. Why do you tell me the truth?"

Xie Daozhi didn't want to say more, but looking at the few white hairs on Wu's temples, he couldn't help but tell the truth.

"It has nothing to do with the two children. It's Mr. Du and I who had our differences. The two of us are not of the same mind."

"Since I entered the officialdom, I have followed the Du family masters. It has never changed in the past few decades. Mr. Du is a great scholar in the world and has high morals and respect. You shouldn't do it, master!"

Wu was very sincere and sincere.

"Even if Mr. Du did something wrong, he should bear with it and give in for the sake of past friendship."

"Snapped!"

Xie Daozhi put down his chopsticks and said angrily: "I need you, a woman, to teach me how to behave and do things?"

Wu's face turned pale with fright.

Xie Daozhi said coldly: "I have already decided the matter. You have an idea in mind. I will keep San'er's marriage in mind later."

"master."

Wu screamed with all her strength, "To put it bluntly, if you betray your master and abandon your friends, you will be stabbed in the back by the world."

These words touched Xie Daozhi's pain point.

He couldn't bear it any longer and stood up without even looking at Mrs. Wu, then rolled up his sleeves and left.

Ignorant fool!

……

In Fangzhou courtyard. "Grandma, grandma!"

Mrs. Zhu hurriedly put down her account book, looked up at Chuntao who almost rushed in, and said, "What are you doing? You are ruthless!"

Chuntao stretched out two fingers and panted: "Grandma, two things."

"Say it."

"The first thing is that the third master just asked the young man to come and tell me that he would like to invite Miss Yan to have dinner outside and take her to see the night view of the capital."

Zhu was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "The third child is fighting against the second brother!"

"is not that right!"

Chuntao: "Miss Yan was invited out by the second master in the morning, and the third master also invited people to dinner in the evening. Isn't this a slap in the second master's face!"

Zhu's brows furrowed, "It's strange, the third child's temperament is rarely so direct?"

"That brings us to the second thing."

Chuntao lowered her voice and said, "The news just came out from the old lady's room is that the marriage between Miss Du and the Third Master has failed."

"what?"

Zhu's beautiful eyes met Chuntao's eyes.

The master and the servant stared at each other for a long time, then Mrs. Zhu burst into laughter and said, "I'm going to die. I was right."

"Did grandma tell you right?"

Chuntao also smiled and said: "Grandma will no longer have to coax Du Yiyun from the left or the right, just like coaxing the ancestors. The servants are tired just watching from the side."

Zhu's smile suddenly faded when she said this, "This is not right, the Du family and the Xie family..."

"Master is here!"

The curtain was lifted, and Xie Erli walked in and glanced at Chun Tao.

"Grandma and I have something to say. You go outside and watch."

"Yes!"

Xie Erli sat down on the edge of the kang without even saying a word of greeting, "I just returned home and heard that my father came out of my mother's room angrily."

Zhu was startled, "For what?"

"Mostly it's about Lao San and Du Yiyun."

Xie Erli picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of warm tea, and took a sip, "This marriage can't happen because it has nothing to do with the two little ones."

Zhu was a little surprised.

If it has nothing to do with the two younger ones, it has something to do with the masters of the Xie and Du families.

If you have something to do with the two old men, you have something to do with the imperial court.

Zhu's mind wandered for a few moments, then she did not ask any more questions, but started another topic: "What will be the rules for the Du family's festival and annual rites in the future?"

"Just follow the old rules."

After Xie Erli finished speaking, he added: "It's our business whether to give it away or not, and it's their business whether to accept it or not. Just live up to your own conscience."

As soon as these words came out, there was nothing that Zhu didn't understand in her heart.

Secretly, the master and Mr. Du were at loggerheads, but on the outside, he had to do what he had to do to prevent others from saying that the master was ungrateful.

"Don't worry, uncle, I have a good idea about this matter."

Xie Erli looked at his wife with great admiration, thinking that if his mother was half as smart as her, she wouldn't be overwhelmed by Aunt Liu.

"On the mother's side, we both look at the opportunity and try to persuade her."

"My mother is very satisfied with Miss Du and is dedicated to bringing the two of them together."

Zhu paused for a moment, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for a while."

"Are you satisfied with the Du family girl?"

"I?"

Mrs. Zhu was sure that the marriage between the two families would not work out, so she dared to reveal her thoughts: "The temperament of the Du family girl is still too indulgent."

"That's what I think too, so it's no shame."

Xie Erli thought about what his father said that morning and asked again: "Yan Sanhe, what do you think of her?"

Zhu couldn't figure out the man's real intention in asking this question.

"You're fine, sir. Why are you asking about her?"
