A Thousand Hills

Chapter 14

When Xie Moru went to Songbaiyuan to pay his respects after breakfast, Mrs. Xie told her and Xie Moyou to prepare Xie Bai's birthday banquet.

Mrs. Xie smiled, "You are growing up. I heard from Mr. Ji that you have learned your homework very well. Girls, it is good to read some books. Do you have a poetry and book spirit in your stomach? You can also understand when you read. However, you When you grow up, the housekeeper also needs to understand. On your second uncle's birthday, our family will hold two tables of wine, which is considered a small family banquet. You sisters discussed it. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask Li Qing's wife. She has been in charge for many years I am an old man. If you have any difficulties, just talk to me directly."

Xie Moru Xie Moyou got up and answered.

Mrs. Xie said to Li Qing's daughter-in-law, "It's the first time for Mo Ru to be in charge, please help me."

Li Qing's daughter-in-law is a middle-aged woman in her forties. Her eyebrows and eyes can't be compared with Mrs. Xie's, and she is also somewhat charming. Speaking of which, this daughter-in-law used to be a big maid who served Mrs. Xie. When she grew up, she married the steward of the mansion, and after she got married, she couldn't serve Mrs. Xie closely, so she became the steward's wife of the mansion. She was very capable, and Mrs. Xie relied on her a lot, and now she still manages all the affairs of the mansion.Hearing this, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute the two sisters, saying, "The two girls just give orders, and the servants dare not be dissatisfied."

Aunt Ning often dealt with Li Qing's daughter-in-law when she was the housekeeper. Xie Moyou knew her very well, and she smiled very politely, "Then please take care of Li Sister-in-law." Her mother will be more polite.

Li Qing's daughter-in-law smiled, "It's all the duty of a servant girl. When the two girls plan to prepare for our second master's birthday banquet, I'll come here to listen to the errand."

Xie Moyou really wanted Mrs. Xie to give them an idea first, but Mrs. Xie didn't say anything, Xie Moyou also wanted to speak first, but he didn't want to think that Xie Moru didn't exist, so he had to take a look at Xie Moru, Xie Moru said, "Second uncle's birthday is still about ten days away. Since it's a family banquet, it's not too complicated. You don't have to delay your homework. You just need to find a quiet place to discuss after school in the afternoon. Since you are someone your wife relies on, you can do things well. Find out the record list of dishes and fruits for my second uncle's birthday last year, and think again, where to set up the banquet this year, which kitchen and cook to use, which tables, chairs, stools, chopsticks and utensils to use, which maids to serve, and the maids to wear What to wear looks festive and appropriate. For these, we will discuss and decide as soon as possible, and then arrange the purchase."

Li Qing's daughter-in-law's heart trembled immediately, and she hurriedly said, "Yes, the girl has ordered, and the slaves have written it down." Listen to the gong, listen to the sound, and listen to the sound.Alas, other people only say that the eldest girl has a temper, but that's only half the truth. She has a temper and is capable.Now that Aunt Ning is in charge, although she wants to be partial to Xie Moyou, it is obvious that the eldest girl cannot be neglected.This person doesn't talk much on weekdays, but you have to understand when she speaks, this is a sensible person, and she knows everything in her heart.You neglect her, with this big girl's temper, she won't give Xie Moyou any face, Li Qing's wife doesn't want to feel uncomfortable.

People, it's all about picking soft persimmons.

Now seeing that this is not a persimmon, Li Qing's daughter-in-law is not of a death-seeking temper, so she is naturally respectful.

Because it was suddenly heard that Mrs. Xie asked them to host Uncle Xie's birthday party, for a while, Xie Moru only wanted to get this, after speaking, Xie Moru said to Xie Moyou, "Second Sister, do you have anything to add? "

Xie Moyou already knew that her mother suggested that she and Xie Moru organize a family banquet, and she already had a plan in mind, but now she has told Xie Moru, what else does she have to add!If it wasn't for the extreme restraint, Xie Moyou's face would turn green, Xie Moyou stiffly maintained self-restraint, "That's what the big sister said, but the big sister thinks, where should we manage?"

Xie Moru said, "I'm not familiar with this, what do you think?"

Xie Mo was worried and annoyed and asked Xie Moru to steal the limelight, and said in a flash, "Why don't you go to the Peony Court."

Xie Moru didn't comment on this kind of idea, and directly refuted it, "The Peony Courtyard is not very quiet, Sister-in-law Li told me a quiet place."

Xie Mo's teeth were about to be gritted: The Peony Court is not quiet anymore!
Li Qing's daughter-in-law does not want to offend Xie Moru, and she absolutely does not want to offend Xie Moyou, Xie Moru threw this hot potato at her, Li Qing's daughter-in-law has served in the mansion for many years, this time it is really hot, she murmured , "This, the servant can't think of it for a while, why don't the servant go back and think about it before reporting back to the eldest girl."

Xie Moru glanced at Li Qing's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xie didn't want the two sisters to have the same situation as last time, so she said with a smile, "If you want me to tell you, I don't need to go elsewhere. I'm idle in the courtyard. After cleaning it up, you are the director. Leave It's close, and I'm relieved."

Xie Moru said, "Thank you Ma'am."

Mrs. Xie smiled, "Our family name is Xie, but outsiders often call me Mrs. Xie. When you say it, the accent is accentuated. The whole family is always the wife and grandma. It's a natural distinction. I will be the same as Mo You from now on." Call me grandma." I'm really worried, Mrs. Xie has no less worries than Li Qing's daughter-in-law. Li Qing's daughter-in-law is just a hot potato, and here, she worries every time she sees Xie Moru show off his IQ.Both the husband and the second son have stated in secret, not to ignore Xie Moru too much.Mrs. Xie doesn't like Fang's, Xie Moru is her granddaughter no matter what, and Mrs. Xie can tolerate her temper.If Xie Moru was just an ordinary little girl, Mrs. Xie would just let her go.But Xie Moru's IQ, even if her husband and son don't say it, she still has to think about it.

Being smart is not a bad thing, even Mrs. Xie can't say against her will that she doesn't like smart children.If Xie Moru is only as clever as Xie Moyou, Mrs. Xie must be a Buddhist.The point is, Xie Moru completely crushed Xie Moyou.To say that Xie Moyou is definitely not stupid, and with Aunt Ning's teaching, the news of Xie Moyou must have come earlier and faster than Xie Moru.She talked about preparing Xie Bai's birthday banquet, Xie Moru looked as expected, but Xie Moru was slightly surprised, it can be seen that Xie Moru just knew about it.

It is rare for Xie Moru to be able to think of these things to prepare just after knowing it.Of course, Mrs. Xie has also met careful people. The key is that Xie Moru knows how to deal with this matter.Of course, Xie Moru herself doesn't understand, where to put the noodles, what dishes and snacks to prepare, what kind of chopsticks to use, etc. It's normal for Xie Moru not to understand, at her age, no one taught her, and she used to None of these things.But she knows to leave the matter to Li Qing's wife, you think about it for me, then I will see what you think, and after a while, I will understand.

When you meet this kind of person, even if she is younger, you have to be careful, children grow up easily.Didn't Li Qing's daughter-in-law, who is so exquisite, become more respectful the more she talks?

Mrs. Xie really had a headache, but she saw Xie Moru show her kindness a few days ago, she got up early and went to the palace, the child came here early in the morning to say hello, his words were not very nice, but in fact, he came here to show his kindness.She understood, but felt that Xie Moru's other half of the Fang family blood was too arrogant, so she wanted to grind her down.Children, especially Xie Moru's background, if possible, they should be kept in the palm of their hands.

Unexpectedly, Xie Moru turned around directly after her torture.Xie Moru has the best relationship with Xie Bo now, this girl doesn't intend to burn her.She can understand that Xie Moru wants to gain a certain status in Xie's family, smart people always have many ways.You can't go this way, people turn around and find another way.

Mrs. Xie is really worried. My daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years. What if I don't give face to the younger generation?I've lost your face, and then comforted you with clothing and jewelry, it's already giving you face.You don't need my clothes and jewelry, turn around and find another backer, the backer you are looking for is my youngest son.My youngest son has just passed the exam and is about to marry the princess. His opinion will become more and more important in the family.Don't think that parents and elders are not snobbish, human nature is the same, my youngest son speaks for you, although I don't like you very much, but I can't neglect you anymore.Because we are not enemies after all, we are relatives with a blood relationship, and I will not give birth to you and my youngest son... Moreover, you have such intelligence and wisdom at such a young age. There are infinite possibilities, and my life experience cannot allow me to neglect a smart and intelligent child.

Oh, I'm so sad.

So, after seeing Xie Moru's IQ again, Mrs. Xie had to take the initiative to ease the relationship with Xie Moru, and she had to say with approving eyes, "Our family name is Xie, but people outside often call me Mrs. Xie, you said it with a heavy accent. The whole family is always the wife and grandma, which is a natural distinction. From now on, just like Mo You, call me grandma."

Look, when someone brought your face up to you and you slapped it back, this time you have to put your face up yourself.Fortunately, Xie Moru was very sensible, she showed a proper look, and called out, "Grandmother."

Mrs. Xie smiled, "That's right, it's late, let's go to school."

Both grandparents and grandchildren were very restrained and very friendly. After the two girls left, Aunt Ning offered a cup of fragrant tea and said kindly, "It's better to be more excited."

Mrs. Xie smiled, "The girls from our Xie family are all good." Of course she likes Xie Moyou more, Xie Moyou is so good, he will try to please you without telling the truth at a glance, this child is afraid , it’s nothing more than that I prefer Xie Moru, so I become more and more well-behaved.Xie Moru, the smarter she is, the more nervous I am.I have to restrain myself when talking to her, she doesn't care if I like it or not, but I dare not neglect her anymore.How is this a granddaughter? I think it was just like that when I was a daughter-in-law!
Yes, I don't like her, she is my granddaughter, she would not please me before, and now I have to show an attitude towards my mother-in-law, of course I don't like her.

Mrs. Xie's smile was very standard, she took a sip of tea slowly, she certainly understood Aunt Ning's ambition.Concubine Ning's family has returned to court even better than before. Concubine Ning gave birth to three sons and a daughter for her eldest son. Concubine Ning longs for a seat in the royal family.However, not to mention that Fang's family lives safely in Dujuanyuan, unless Fang's death is natural, the Xie family can't touch Fang's in the slightest.Furthermore, Fang still has Xie Moru as a concern, how could she die.And Xie Moru, this girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp.One day in the future, Xie Moru will be promising, let alone Fang's death.Then, Aunt Ning...

You have a kind smile on your face, I am her own grandmother and I wouldn't even smile like that, don't you understand why you couldn't buy Xie Moru over ten years of thoughtfulness?Too fake.Who would love someone else's daughter more than their own daughter?Unless you are a saint, but you are obviously not a saint, you are just an aunt.You have seen through Xie Moru long ago, and you still have such a loving face... Madam Xie sighed in her heart, Xie Moru's IQ made me uneasy, but when I saw Aunt Ning, I knew that my IQ was still above the average line.
