Chapter 160

Fourth Master Xie thought of perfection, but He Li had all kinds of worries, "Yulang, will the old lady take the child away?" "Will the lady take the child away?" A grandmother, or a wife who is a aunt, has enough status to take away her child at will.

Fourth Master Xie smiled, "No, I won't allow it. A Li, this is our child, we will raise him together, we don't need others to do it for us." Although the Nanning Marquis Mansion is unreasonable, their family believes in "little children". Children should follow their parents" and "husband and wife cannot be separated" are both correct.

He Li was naturally very happy to get such a satisfactory promise, "Yulang is the best." He seldom boasted, and once he said it, he would definitely do it.If you can raise a child with him, what more do you ask for?
Fleeting Nian woke up and ran over immediately.Look at the father is there, the mother is also there, and the newborn little brother is also there, with curved eyebrows.She seems to be in a daze recently, fearing that He Li will disappear if she is not careful, and she will become an orphan.I have to run here one after another and see my mother with my own eyes, so that I can let go of my uneasy heart.

Fourth Master Xie was sitting next to He Li, but Fleeting Nian skillfully pulled him up, "Excuse me, please let me go." Pushing Fourth Master Xie aside, he eagerly talked to He Li, "Do you feel Tired? What do you want to eat? Tell me, and I'll get it for you."

He Li was gentle and pampering, "Daughter, I'm not tired. I can only eat light food for the next two days, and I'll order something delicious for Xiaoqi after confinement." Liu Nian nodded happily, "Okay, If you want to eat or play, don't be polite."

Fourth Master Xie sat on the side angrily.He Li talked to Liu Nian for a while, feeling something was wrong, "Xiao Qi, you didn't go back to Nanning Marquis Mansion last night? This is not good, since you are out of the court, you must put your husband's family first, and it is not convenient to stay at your mother's house."

Fleeting smiled proudly, "It's inconvenient for other people's homes, but it's convenient for my home! You don't know, my mother-in-law specifically explained that my brother and I will come back early to take care of you, and come back early to accompany you. Naishan was on duty yesterday and will not be until tonight Only then can I leave the palace, and he will come to pick me up."

He Li was very touched, "Xiaoqi, your mother-in-law is the best mother-in-law in the world, she is too noble and kind." Fleeting Nian nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, my mother-in-law is unparalleled in the world." Fourth Master Xie heard it, Even more stuffy.

Fleeting Nian went over to look at the child, "He doesn't cry or fuss." Sleepy and sleepy, little sleepy?He Li told her tenderly, "Daughter, you were like this when you were just born. Babies love to sleep, and they sleep for most of the day."

Fourth Master Xie has a soft heart.Xiao Qi was so cute when she was born, her little face was about the size of a pear, so tender and immature.Xiao Qi, good girl, you really hurt me to death when you were young.

Fleeting Nian giggled, "Where's brother? Call brother over, let's reunite." In fact, Xie's family has a large family, grandparents, uncles, aunts, fifth brother Xiao Baier and others are very good, but the feeling Parents, mothers and elder brothers are the most intimate.

He Li smiled, "Your brother has returned to the princess' mansion." It's almost time for Yaya, and your brother is very anxious.After a few years, she nodded with bewilderment, "Yes, Yaya is about to give birth too."

Fourth master Xie was about to reprimand her, "Why don't you call me sister-in-law?"But Liu Nian turned his head to him excitedly and said, "I guess this baby must be my nephew! No need to guess, this batch is all sons, no exception. Daddy, can I name my little nephew? My name is Xie." Zihe, Xiaoming and elder brother."

He Li snickered, and quietly gave Fleeting Nian a hand, "The child's name is usually given by the grandfather." Xiao Suiping was given a name by the late emperor, and your father was annoyed for a long time, feeling that the late emperor had overstepped the mark.This time, no one robbed him at last, and you came to make trouble again.Good girl, be careful that he hits you.

Fourth Master Xie said slowly: "If Xiaoqi has thought about the addiction of naming people, you might as well focus on your maids and servants." With your generation, when will you name your child?It's okay for you to name the girls and boys.

Liu Nian sighed softly, "If this matter is put in my house, Naishan will definitely jump up and throw himself on Eunuch's back to threaten him. Eunuch, if you have a good laugh, you will accept Naishan." Naishan, you Home is dear.

Fourth Master Xie refused to be fooled, "Naishan is so tall that he threw himself on Wuji's back? Xiao Qi, you are here to coax Daddy again." Back then you lied about how much your Uncle Zhang loved and pampered your children, and tricked Daddy to ride on him himself. A sheep cart pretends to be a jade man, but what did you draw for me? !

Liu Nian smiled and flattered, "Daddy is so smart!" Don't be fooled, forget it, you can think hard about Xie Zihe's name.While talking, Zhang Xi got off work and came to Xie's house to pick up his wife, and was already waiting in Xuanhui Hall.Liu Nian was urged again and again by He Li, hugged He Li and kissed the baby, and leaned over to kiss the baby, "You two be good, I will come back soon."

He Li watched Fleeting Nian go away tenderly, "Yulang, Xiaoqi likes my younger brother, it's great not to be jealous of my younger brother." Fourth Master Xie chuckled, "Siblings should be friendly." This worrying girl, she Loving my younger brother should be her duty, but now it seems that she is giving a huge favor to her.

Fleeting Years came to Xuanhui Hall, and proudly showed off, "My brother is red and wrinkled, not as good-looking as I was when I was a child." The funny old man and old lady laughed for a while, and then left with Zhang Yi, and returned to Nanning Marquis Mansion .

When Xiao Shi washed San, many relatives and friends came.The fourth wife's sisters can't help but give her advice, "It's a kid, I hugged you and raised it by your side. I have raised it well since I was a child, and I will know how to be filial to you in the future." Don't be like that Xie Tangnian, grow up to be promising, He doesn't come back when he lives in the princess mansion, and doesn't show his filial piety in front of you.

The fourth wife was also tempted.It's only natural for a aunt to raise a concubine, and no one can say anything.The fourth wife thought about it, the old lady is getting old, He Li is a concubine, isn't she the only person in the Xie family who is qualified to raise Xiao Shi?After careful consideration, the Fourth Wife ordered someone to invite Fourth Master Xie to discuss it.

Fourth Master Xie said casually: "Xiao Shi has a bad temper, and he cried at the top of his voice when he left his mother." The fourth wife was stunned, what should I do?If Xiao Shi is allowed to cry, it is not loving.If he didn't want Xiao Shi to cry, he had no choice but to retreat.The fourth wife was staring blankly, but the fourth master Xie Shi had already got up and left.

The fourth wife did not give up, and asked the old lady for instructions with a smile.The old lady persuaded her earnestly, "Daughter-in-law Yulang, Xiao Shi is only so young, and he cannot live without his mother. For one or two years, let his mother take care of him first." The fourth wife had no choice but to take a break idea.

Although this thought stopped, the Fourth Wife felt unhappy.So when Yaya was activated, and the eldest wife took Mu Shi, Cui Shi, Xi Shi and others to the princess mansion to accompany Yaya to give birth, the fourth wife was upset and didn't go.

Yaya has always been in good health, and this is her second child, which went well.On the fifteenth day of October, a boy was born, and the mother and child were safe.The midwife quickly wrapped up the baby and carried it outside.A bunch of people outside were waiting to see the child. Tang Nian's father was treated better. No one would compete with him. Let him be the first to see the child.

Fourth Master Xie saw his newborn grandson for the first time, the corners of his mouth turned up, and out of nowhere came out of his mouth, "He brother, Xie Zihe." Zhang Yu laughed beside him, "Wan Hong, you and Xiao Budianer are really heroes." Seeing the same thing, she also named the child Hegeer." It's nice to be kind.

Fourth Master Xie was still waiting to say anything else, Zhang Yu had already called out "He Geer" and "He Geer" to the newborn baby.Shen Mai and Yue Pei also called "Hegeer", and the baby's name was tentatively decided.

The eldest lady saw that Yaya and her elder brother, mother and son were being taken care of very carefully, and everything in the princess's mansion was in order, so she returned to Xie's house with peace of mind, and told the old lady carefully.The old lady had a new little grandson and a great-grandson, so the joy was beyond mention, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

The eldest lady hesitated for a moment, "Mother, it was Xiao Shi and Xiao Shi who called at the third time, and the second and third younger siblings rushed to ask why. At that time, I couldn't get past it. If they asked again in the future, it could be said that it was my fault." Don’t tell me.” You can’t hide it for a while, but you can’t hide it forever.

The eldest wife remembered the interest on the second wife's face when she asked about this matter, and felt compassion.Second Master Xie has always been honest, and the second wife would never have dreamed that Xiao Jiu was in Nanjing, under the knee of Second Master Xie.

The old lady said coldly: "There is nothing to hide, so naturally tell the truth." The eldest lady replied respectfully, "Yes, mother." Thinking about it carefully, the second wife can leave Erye Xie in Nanjing for a whole year, regardless of whether it is true or not. If you ask, it's hard to keep this out.The second wife is also strange, Nanjing also has great Confucianism, can also read, why should husband and wife be separated from father and son.

When I was having a bath with my brother, the second wife and the third wife naturally also went, and asked frequently, "Where is Xiaojiu?"The eldest lady smiled, and refused to tell them at the princess's mansion, "Well, I'll send someone to deliver the letter tonight." It's too embarrassing to say it in person, so I'd better write a letter.

The second wife nodded with great interest, "Sister-in-law, don't forget." The third wife's eyes lit up excitedly, "Sister-in-law will definitely send a letter tonight. If sister-in-law forgets tonight, I will get up early tomorrow and talk to you." Ask face to face." Tell me, who it is.

The eldest lady smiled and said goodbye to each other.In the evening, I discussed with Uncle Xie, and wrote letters to the second wife and the third wife respectively, ordering them to be sent to the family members, "be sure to deliver them to the wife in person." Do not forward them.

The next day, before dawn, the old lady was still asleep, so the second lady closed the door crying.The woman in charge would not let her in and disturb the old lady's rest, she persuaded her with kind words, asked her to sit in the front hall, and refused to let her into Xuanhui hall.

After finally waiting for the old lady to get up, the maids notified her, the second wife waited and waited, but still couldn't see the Lord, the old lady didn't bother to pay attention to her.When the old lady could not be seen, the second wife cried and quarreled with the first lady, "For the sake of my sons' studies and my daughter's marriage, I have broken my heart day and night! He doesn't care about things, and he doesn't care about the children who are born in the first place. , an illegitimate child was born!"

The eldest wife advised her, "Didn't you leave that girl to him? It's just a concubine, so it's hard to say she's an illegitimate child." No matter how dissatisfied, the child is already ten years old, what can you do?It can't be stuffed back into that girl's stomach.

The second wife refused to let go, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, our second room is originally poor and poor, and the two sons will not be able to share any property in the future. If there are more illegitimate children, life will be even more difficult!"

After all, it was still for family property.The second wife is making a fuss here, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie are not deaf, and they all listened to the servants' report.Mrs. Xie was trembling with anger, "Xiao Jiu's property, I'll give it to you!" The antiques are sold, calligraphy and paintings are sold, I'll give him a share of the property, not yours!

Mrs. Xie gave him a cold look, "What are you going to give? Your treasures are good to keep. It's just a piece of property. I'll give it to her." Mrs. Xie said awkwardly, "I can't, I can't." In the shortfall, the cousin posted money.The second child asked his cousin to post money again, which is nothing.

Although Mrs. Xie gave the family business readily, there were two conditions: one, the second wife took the children to Nanjing to reunite with the second master Xie's family.One is that Uncle Xie will take over Xiaojiu's family property and hand it over to Xiaojiu when he becomes a family.

The second wife came to Beijing because she wanted to live in Dengshikou Street, so that her sons and son-in-law could learn how to deal with people in Ge Lao Mansion, make more friends with high-ranking officials, and also seek a family background.Over the years, the second wife has not been able to fulfill her wish in the capital, and she is also worried that there will be an extra "humeizi" and a concubine in Nanjing, and she is also panicked.When it comes to going to Nanjing, the second wife is happy.

The old lady Xie ordered her, "Set aside the old-age money for you and the second child, and the rest will be divided equally between the second year and the support year. How much is the number of the year and the support year, and how much I will give to Xiaojiu." The second wife heard that the concubine With a provenance for his family business, he hastily agreed.Within two days, a list was presented to the old lady.

The old lady gave Xiaojiu Xie Xiannian a family fortune according to the examples of her years and raising years.Uncle Xie took it in front of everyone, and said calmly, "When Xiao Jiu grows up, I will hand over the family business to him."

Both Xie Qinian and Xie Yangnian looked ashamed.The family has already been divided, and there is an extra bastard in the second room, so it doesn't make sense for the old lady to post her private house.They also tried to persuade the second wife in private, but they were all scolded bloody, "I won't fight for you, will you drink the northwest wind in the future?!"

"Why are you pretending to be noble? Look at your father, who was born as a Jinshi. He has never earned half of the family fortune in his life! You two are worse than your father. How will you live in the future? You are already poor, so you should divide it into two. Divide the portion into three portions, you two will starve to death in the future?!"

Xie Qinian and Xie Yangnian were scolded by the second wife and fell silent.Although she has an ugly face, isn't it because of her sons?Poor parents all over the world.Thinking of the "parental heart", Xie Qinian and Xie Yangnian complained to Xie Erye who was far away in Nanjing, why did you break your promise when you promised to "have a child with no difference".

The old lady Xie gave up a part of her belongings in exchange for clean ears.The second wife left the capital with her children and grandchildren and went to Nanjing.Mi Rui misses the prosperity of the capital and doesn't want to leave, so he stays with Hua Nian.

Mrs. Xie was too ashamed, "Cousin, my private house will be shared equally between Dalang and Yulang." The second and third have no share.He never treated them harshly since he was a child, and he did his best to do their best for them, so how could each of them fail to live up to expectations.These antique calligraphy and paintings are treasures, and they cannot be ruined.

The old lady Xie smiled slightly, "Your private room is naturally up to your heart. I'm not generous, but I don't like these boring quarrels, I just want to keep it clean. Cousin, the second room has been separated, and the third room is only one year old. One, there is no need to divide the family. While we are still strong and not confused, the first and fourth families should also divide the family."

Mrs. Xie pondered for a while, then nodded slowly, "Okay, we've separated, thoroughly. There is only one thing, even though the family is divided, we still have to live together." Mrs. Xie smiled, "That's natural. As long as the two of us Still alive, Dalang and Yulang must live together."

The Dafang family is very divided. Song Nian and He Nian are brothers from the same mother, and they have always been affectionate and friendly.The eldest wife manages the family well, and has already bought Yumingfang's ancestral neighbors.In the future, Songnian and Henian brothers will be neighbors and help each other.

The fourth room is a bit troublesome.According to the rules of the Xie family, regardless of the sons and sons, except for the land and houses set aside by the eldest son for sacrifice, the rest of the family property is divided equally among the sons.The fourth house has two legitimate sons and two concubine sons, and the family business should be divided into four parts.But this little ten was born, so he can divide the family property like his brothers?The fourth wife was not happy.To put it bluntly, whether he can grow up is another matter.

She only dared to think this in her heart, but dared not say it out of her mouth.The fourth wife smiled gently, "Song Nian and Crane Nian have grown up, the family is easy to divide. Sifang Xiaoshi is still young, it's a bit difficult, why don't we talk about it when Xiaoshi is ten."

"What's so difficult about this?" Fourth Master Xie objected mildly, "Even though the family is divided, we still live in one place, and everything is easy to handle. Give the whole garden to Xiao Shi, and ask Aunt He to take him there to live there. It is very convenient." The whole garden was expanded by Xie Siye to the South Garden of Tangnian, and surrounded by several scattered courtyards and a garden. The place is large and the scenery is beautiful.There is a door leading to the street alone, and it can be a family of its own.

Xishi was listening, with mixed feelings in his heart.It turned out that the father-in-law had this idea, and the family was separated, and Aunt He took Xiao Shi to live in the whole garden.From then on, Aunt He became the aunt who separated the family, and she no longer had to go out of the whole garden, and she no longer had to be careful with her wife.However, the father-in-law can still see Xiao Shi every day and raise Xiao Shi himself, so he really doesn't take anything wrong.
