Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 122 Mrs. Yuan ([-])
Mr. Xie directly invited the doctor, and after taking the pulse, he knew that Xie Ruitong was pretending to be sick, so he was furious.

When Xueyan came back, she said vividly: "Young lady didn't see it, but the old man got mad at the young lady and told the young lady to cry. After crying for half an hour, Mr. Xie was not moved."

She breathed a sigh of relief, and it was the first time she heard that Mr. Xie was so strict with Xie Ruitong, and she couldn't believe it: "I think the eldest girl has cried enough, so she will go to the side courtyard to continue learning the rules. Nanny Li is already waiting."

Xie Qiuniang understood that Master Xie was determined to be ruthless this time.

I don't know who invited this Nanny Li.

Mr. Xie never cared about those trivial things in the backyard, how could he go to inquire about the foster mother himself?
Mrs. Xie felt sorry for Xie Ruitong, so she had no choice but to let the foster mother come to her.

So, could it be Aunt Zhang?
She thought that after Xie Churou was beaten, Aunt Zhang didn't come out to make a fuss with Madam Xie. Was it really docile and backed down, or was she playing tricks secretly?
Either way, it's the latter.

Xie Qiuniang rubbed her chin, it seemed that she was right to pretend to be sick, hiding in a corner to watch the play, but it was much more interesting and comfortable than acting on the stage for others to watch.

She was so bored in the yard, Xueyan excitedly went back and forth to inquire.

Xueyan is young, and these days she eats and sleeps well in the Begonia Garden, and Xie Qiuniang is very kind to her, her cheeks have gained a lot of flesh, and she is no longer sallow and emaciated.

It's not pretty, but it looks festive.

A round face set off a pair of round eyes, a pair of small dimples on the cheeks when smiling, the mouth is not sharp, but the face is innocent and honest, the maids do not avoid her when they are chatting, and Xueyan stands up The ears heard a lot of gossip.

Xie Ruitong didn't know whether she was persuaded by Mrs. Xie, or she was afraid of Master Xie, and finally followed Nanny Li to learn the rules. Although she would "accidentally" break a teacup or something at night, she was at peace It's okay, it stopped.

Nanny Li didn't go too far, she did it again 120 times, it was considered as a disgrace before, and the goal was achieved, so she didn't need to offend Xie Ruitong anymore, and also made Master Xie unhappy.

After all, it's a delicate little girl, it's fine once or twice, and she hasn't married after a few times, so I'm afraid she will be folded in.

Nanny Li stayed in the back house for a long time. Although she didn't do a good job in dealing with people, she finally had some winks.

In the past, she was not very proud in the harem, but after receiving grace and being released, she still learned some lessons and restrained herself a lot.

Only Xie Qiuniang felt that it was impossible for Xie Ruitong to just marry someone other than Long Zhiyu so obediently.

When Xue Yanhong came back with a small face, Xie Qiuniang knew that the good show was about to begin.

"Miss, a distinguished guest has come to the door. I heard it is Mrs. Yuan."

Xie Qiuniang held her chin, Mrs. Yuan came to see her future daughter-in-law?
Mr. Inspector has a bright future, but he chose a girl from a merchant to be his successor, which is really weird.

She pointed her finger and said with a smile: "Go and have a look, just remember not to be discovered by others."

Xueyan has long been familiar with doing these things, so she pretends that there is no work to do in the Begonia Garden, and she helps some maids run errands from time to time, which is very popular with them.

Sure enough, Xueyan slipped out this time, and the familiar servant girl immediately pulled her to her side, and stuffed the tray in Xueyan's arms: "I know you like to watch the fun, this is the big red robe for Mrs. Yuan." , Don’t spill it, and when the time comes to cry, I can’t save you.”

Xueyan responded sweetly, knowing that this servant girl was also avoiding laziness and didn't want to join Mrs. Yuan.

If Master Yuan came, it would be impossible for the servant girl to give her such a fat job.

Holding the plate, Xueyan walked into the flower hall with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye with small steps.

Mrs. Yuan was in her early fifties, wearing a dark green dress with gold thread embroidered on the skirt, elegant and luxurious.There was only a thin layer of powder on her face, her hair was combed high, and a red gem hairpin was particularly conspicuous. The wealth and style of her whole body completely surpassed Mrs. Xie.

Xueyan swallowed her saliva, this is the aura of an official wife.

She couldn't help but lighten her movements, for fear of making a little noise and disturbing the old lady.

Mrs. Xie was sitting on the right side, with a restrained smile on her face, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

At first, I only thought that he was a civil official from the third rank, and his official position was not small, but he had been released in and out of the backcountry. No matter how big an official was, he was no doubt like a villager. I didn't expect that this old lady's whole body was more dignified than the officials and family members in Beijing. Just more and less.

She suddenly felt that it might not be a wise decision to reject the Yuan family.

So what about loving Xie Ruitong, after all, this daughter is young and energetic, dazzled by wealth, how can anyone be real in front of her eyes?

Originally, she wanted to reject this marriage right away, but Mrs. Xie began to hesitate now.

Mrs. Yuan took a sip of hot tea before she said slowly, "My son invited Mrs. Yun to the house recklessly and caused trouble for Mrs. Xie. The Yuan family is really sorry."

When Mrs. Xie heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Mrs. Yuan disagreed?
Mrs. Yuan came to ask for marriage, and she invited Mrs. Yun directly, not the elders of the Yuan family. Maybe Mrs. Yuan didn't like Xie Ruitong?
She felt a little uncomfortable, indeed, there could be better candidates for Lord Yuan's successor.

Mrs. Xie had just started picking on Mr. Yuan who was older than Master Xie, but now hearing that others were also starting to pick on her own daughter, she felt a little uncomfortable.

She forced a smile and said, "What did Mrs. Yuan say? It's not causing trouble? It's just that the little girl is naughty. This is really a tall order."

Master Xie cares about face, so why not Mrs. Xie.

Instead of Mrs. Yuan opening her mouth, it would be better for her to give herself a step down first, so as not to be more embarrassing, as if Xie Ruitong was not marrying Mrs. Yuan, crying and begging to marry.

Mrs. Yuan couldn't hear Mrs. Xie's implication, and said with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth: "I'm afraid Ma'am is thinking about it, my son lost his wife early, and it was hard to bring up the two girls. Now they are I'm about to go out, so I can't let my old bones go to waste, so I'm in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law to take care of the house."

Mrs. Xie was a little confused. Mrs. Yuan seemed to agree with the marriage, so she came to see her daughter-in-law?

Her face softened, and she continued: "It's really not an easy task for a girl to go out. I'm already a little bit burnt out just preparing for Tong'er's dowry."

After a pause, Mrs. Xie tentatively said again: "Look at my memory, I should let Tong'er come over to greet the old lady."

She waved her hand and told the servant girl to go to Qinglian Garden, and told Nanny Li to stop for a while, and let Xie Ruitong come over.

Mrs. Yuan asked casually: "I heard that the family has invited a nun to teach, so Miss Xie is starting to learn the rules?"

Mrs. Xie replied cautiously: "That's true. This daughter has been spoiled since I was a child. Now that she has reached the age of marriage, how can she continue to act recklessly? The old lady and I are both experienced. Zi Zi, when you go out to your husband's house, you are now a member of your husband's family, and you should plan everything for your husband's house, how can you continue to be self-willed?"

"Ma'am is right. You are the happiest when you are at home." Mrs. Yuan nodded, remembering that when she was a girl, she was also the apple of her parents' eyes.

But when you are married, you have to do many things by yourself, so how can you be lazy?

The two were exchanging pleasantries when Xie Ruitong came in.

She is wearing an emerald green dress today, with a few bamboo leaves embroidered on the skirt, which is very elegant.The beautiful face has recently become thinner due to too much hard work, and the chin looks sharp, but the eyes are bigger, watery, and very moving.

Mrs. Xie felt distressed looking at it, and she was even more proud.

After being taught by Nanny Li, Xie Ruitong learned the rules very well, and his gestures were as smooth as flowing water, extremely elegant and pleasing to the eye.

She Shi Shiran was saluting, Mrs. Yuan looked at Xie Ruitong calmly, frowned indistinctly, but said nothing, she just took back the green bracelet on her wrist, beckoned Xie Ruitong to come, put it on her On the white wrist.

"I didn't prepare a meeting gift when I came here. This bracelet is my favorite, and it's just right for the eldest girl to wear it."

Xie Ruitong stared at the bracelet, originally he was reluctant to come here, but Li Nanny stood beside her with a straight face and did not urge her, she just looked at herself with hairs all over her body, even if she didn't want to come, she still came boldly.

Looking at the bracelet now, it is emerald green, and the water head is very good. It is impossible to get it without thousands of taels of silver.

It is said that the officials sent to the outside world are richer than the high-ranking officials in Beijing, and it is true.

She thought to herself, in fact, marrying Yuan Kelin, apart from being older, this man not only has a smooth official career and is expected to be promoted, but she is a housekeeper's wife after marrying, and her two daughters are about to get married, so it is a great thing in any way.

But Xie Ruitong's mind flashed Long Zhiyu's handsome face, and his cheeks blushed quietly.

No matter how promising Lord Yuan is, how can an old man who is older than his father compare to the young and handsome fifteenth prince?
