Hou Mansion has a daughter to marry

Chapter 3 Mother and daughter heart knot
This matter is a major event. This marriage has passed the eyes of the emperor. He hinted at the marriage between the Marquis of Rong An and the Prince of Yan. Talent, but after all, the old Rong Anhou once supported his mortal enemy, the third prince. Although he retreated bravely, he did not dare to trust Rong Anhou very much, unless he could firmly bind Rong Anhou with his confidant. Better yet.

As for whether he married Xie Changning or Xie Chang'an, the emperor probably didn't care at all, as long as he was the daughter of the Xie family's prostitute.

I'm afraid it's Yan Qinglan who cares. After all, a person like him is among the dragons and phoenixes, so he naturally wants to match the talented woman who is the best in the capital. She is such an unknown little girl who even speaks Mandarin with a Fujian accent. The son can't see it.

The old lady Xie saw that Xie Changan was silent and didn't say anything, so she knew that this stubborn girl would not be persuaded for a while, so she had to tell her not to worry, go back and think about it first, and hinted that Mrs. Lin would talk to Xie Changan about Yan Qing Lan's benefit softened Xie Chang'an's attitude.

Xie Chang'an went back to his room in a dull mood, buried his head in the quilt and then remained motionless, Qingshuang was so frightened that she thought she had passed out from depression, and was jumping around again.

Because there was something hidden in his heart, Xie Chang'an couldn't even eat dinner, and the person who usually eats two bowls full of rice just waved his chopsticks a few times at the table full of dishes and asked them to take them away.

Seeing this, Ziyun, the little girl sent by Lin to serve her, hurried to report to Lin. Miss Dao seemed to be unwell, and she only moved a few chopsticks for dinner. He would give her a cold face, put on a woolen coat and hurried to Xie Changan's place.

Xie Chang'an was a little surprised by Lin's anxious care. Since she was sensible, she has never felt the care and love of her parents, so she couldn't help being a little at a loss. She watched Lin sitting beside her bed anxiously, and Qingshuang waited. The serving girl asked about her condition.

"How do you serve? We all know that the lady is afraid of the cold, so I don't know how to add some more clothes for her. Where did you put the few fur blankets I sent you? Just take them out and make a copy for the lady. The rest They are all spread on the ground as carpets, which makes walking warmer, and the wool material is soft, and it also prevents your lady from accidentally falling..."

Listening to Lin's nagging, Qingshuang and the others were also a little speechless. The young lady was wrapped up in three layers and outside in fear of the cold. She was like a stupid bear. If she wrapped herself up again, she might roll away. Oh, and the few pieces of material sent by the wife, that is the best white mink fur, it is too extravagant to be used for making handmade hands, and it should be used as a carpet?And the lady is already 13 years old, not a three-year-old child, and there are so many people around her serving her, so if she falls like this, the lady herself will be ashamed to death!
Xie Changan was also dumbfounded. Hearing that Lin's words became more and more outrageous, he stopped quickly and comforted him somewhat bluntly: "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine..."

Lin didn't believe it, looked at her flushed face and said: "You see that your face is so red, and you said it's okay, did you catch a cold? I'll let someone use your father's post to invite the imperial physician..."

Even the imperial physician came out, Xie Chang'an hurriedly said: "I'm really fine, my blushing is just...but because the room is warm, didn't my mother give me more than half of the silver frost charcoal in the treasury? There is no place in this mansion that is warmer than mine!"

"Really?" Lin was suspicious.

"Really!" Xie Changan nodded hastily.

Qingshuang and the others watched the mother and daughter rushing back and forth, they couldn't help but want to laugh, one couldn't help being heard by Xie Changan, Xie Changan became furious and coaxed them out.

Seeing that everyone had left, Xie Changan turned his head awkwardly to Lin and said, "My daughter thanked mother for her concern. I just thought about some things and didn't want to eat. It's nothing..."

Hearing that Xie Changan was concerned, Lin was silent for a while, then sighed, but said: "An'er, do you know why I have the heart to send you all the way to Fujian's ancestral home?"

"My daughter doesn't know." Xie Changan shook his head.

"It's my fault. I didn't take good care of my body. I accidentally fell on your father, Aunt Zhao. You fell in the snow and you were born prematurely. Your body is so weak that you thought you couldn't support it. .

Your father is also in a hurry, so he used his old face to seek medical treatment and medicine for you everywhere. Even Li Taiyi, the most favored doctor around the queen mother, was spent by your father for a month to see you, but he also said that he could only take one step at a time. It's because I can't live to be three years old. At that time, I heard Li Taiyi, the most skilled doctor, say this, as if a piece of flesh had been gouged out of my heart... But I am your mother, even if everyone says You can't survive, and I can't just watch you die. If you can't seek medical treatment, then I will ask the Buddha... So I went to Tongguang Temple and begged the host to give me a way to support you. It is said that it can be raised, but it is just that you cannot be raised by your parents before the age of 13. It is said that my horoscope and your father's horoscope are not very compatible with you.

I came back and told your father, your father said that he would send you to Fujian to be raised by an old lady. You were only two years old at that time, how could I be willing?Crying and fussing but just refusing, your father has nothing to do with me, but seeing that you suddenly became unconscious two months before your third birthday, I searched all over the doctors, and they all told me to prepare I really had no choice but to remember what the host said, so I sent you to your grandmother overnight, and then I couldn't hold back to see you. Who would have thought that you would get better day by day...I just found out that what the host said was true It’s not a lie, you are a girl from the Xie family after all, your parents are there, how can you be raised by your grandparents, so your father wrote a letter to your grandmother, took you to heal, and sent you to the ancestral house in Fujian ..."

So it was like this, Xie Changan had never heard of these things, and my grandmother probably didn't know too well, after all, the cause of the premature birth was the dirty house, and my mother must be embarrassed to tell my grandmother because of my father's face. Temperament, it is impossible not to tell her, let her secretly blame her mother for so long.

"Over the years, I haven't missed you for a moment. Every time you grow a year old, I will make a dress for you with my own hands, but I am afraid that I will restrain you, so I dare not go to see you, and I dare not even ask you to wear the clothes I made. ...Mother is really scared, you were so young back then, sick and skinny, almost closed your eyes in Mother's arms...Mother dare not think about it, knowing that you are alive and well, Mother is content..."Lin In the end, Shi said, he was choked up sobbing that he couldn't help himself.

Xie Changan looked at his mother whose shoulders were trembling slightly because of grief, and finally let out a long sigh, and gently stopped her mother's shoulders. Lin was startled, and then relaxed. Xie Changan wiped away her mother's tears with a handkerchief, and said: "I'm fine, mother. Grandma treated me very well and let me practice martial arts. I'm no longer that sick child. Let alone live to be 13 years old, even if I live to be 110 years old, I'm afraid it will be fine... "

"Pfft." Lin smirked when she heard the words, "You silly boy, how can a person live to be 110 years old, then you won't be a bastard..."

Xie Chang'an has a serious face: "Being a man is not as happy as a bastard. To be a man is to be bound by rules, by etiquette, by responsibility and by cause and effect. But bastards don't need it. It's already a bastard. Just be yourself regardless of it. ..."

Lin shook her head helplessly: "What kind of fallacy are you doing?"

"I'm telling the truth, mother, I know your difficulties, and I also know that my brother's is not easy, but if I sacrifice everything to make up for the troubles caused by my sister, do you allow me to think again?"

"Actually, Shizi Yan is actually a very good boy. He is different from those honorable dudes. He..." Lin was anxious.

"Mother, I know..." Xie Chang'an interrupted her, "But have you ever thought that even if Shizi Yan only met his sister at the queen's birthday banquet and didn't know much about it, how famous is her sister? The future of her talented woman How loud? There should be a lot of rumors about my sister. She has so many suitors, and her preferences and even some habits should be known from different channels. , I have to turn myself into her, get rid of my habits, reduce my figure, and then like what she likes, to dress up as she likes, I want to bury my sword and play the piano, forget my cursive routine The first strokes to imitate her hairpin small script, in the end... Xie Changan died..." Xie Changan smiled wryly, "You are not just asking me to be a substitute, you are killing Xie Changan, Create a new Xie Changning."

Lin's body shook, and she looked at Xie Chang'an in astonishment.

They only cared about persuading Xie Changan to be Xie Changning's substitute, but they didn't put themselves in Xie Changan's shoes. As Xie Changan said, they didn't just want a substitute. If they really wanted to implement it, they had to make Xie Changan After a long time, Xie Chang'an became a habit after imitating Xie Changning perfectly, then a new Xie Changning was really reborn, and the original Xie Chang'an was unknowingly...killed by their own hands...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin couldn't help shivering. Do they really want to sacrifice their little daughter who was originally sorry?

Seeing that Lin's eyes were red again, Xie Changan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed that he had spoken too seriously, so he patted Lin's shoulder, and said softly: "Mother, give me some time, I will figure it out, maybe There are other ways."

"An'er..."

"Mother, if it really comes time for me to sacrifice, I, Xie Chang'an, have eaten the food of Xie's family for so many years, and I will never refuse to do what is due to me."

In the past few days, Xie Changan seemed to be in a hurry. Xie Changan went to Mrs. Lin's room to greet her every morning. Mrs. Lin only cared about her food, clothing and food, and never mentioned about letting her replace Xie Changning. Mrs. Lin didn't mention it. , Xie Chang'an was also very happy, and he just cared about enjoying the snow and practicing sword every day, and didn't care about others.

Occasionally, Mrs. Lin would watch her dance sword in the courtyard. Mrs. Lin's father was a Bachelor of the University of Lin who had already retired. When Eldest Master Lin was selected as Tanhua and entered the Imperial Academy, he insisted on retiring for old age regardless of the emperor's persuasion, and retired completely.

Lin Shi is the only prostitute's daughter of a scholar of Lin University, she has been loved like a treasure since she was a child, and the Lin family has been a scholarly family for generations.

Therefore, even though the Marquis of Rong'an's mansion is for generals, the Lin family still teaches Xie Changning according to the Lin family's method. Xie Changning is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and usually teaches women's commandments, a standard lady.
