A Thousand Hills

Chapter 33

When Xie Moru returned to the Rhododendron Courtyard, the moon had already hung in the night sky.

Xie Bo sent her to the door, patted Xie Moru on the shoulder, "Go to bed early."

Xie Moru said, "Second Uncle also rests earlier."

Xie Moru's expression was very calm, neither happy nor sad, this kind of calm and indifferent, did not look like a victor who had just won.Yes, what is the joy?Xie Moru was originally a descendant, what the Xie family did today is just the attitude that a normal family should have towards a concubine.However, for the Xie family to give Dujuanyuan justice, it requires Xie Moru's dedication.

Since when has justice been a joy?Shouldn't justice be a matter of course?
If you think about it one more step, it's still the same in Xie's house, so what about outside?

Xie Bai watched Xie Moru enter the Rhododendron Courtyard, stopped for a long time, then turned and left.

Although there was nothing to be happy about, Xie Moru was still much more relaxed.She doesn't mind Concubine Ning's hypocrisy towards her these years, but once Concubine Ning is not even willing to do hypocrisy, then this person will be too an eyesore.

Xie Moru is very satisfied now that he has the opportunity to close the eye-catching things, at least the eyes are quiet.Therefore, for breakfast the next day, Xie Moru ate half a bowl more.Nanny Zhang naturally also knew about Aunt Ning's being banned from the Peony Court, her face was filled with joy, but she didn't say much, she helped Xie Moru change her clothes, put her hair in a bun, put a couple of pearls on her hair, and smiled, " Let's go out now, girl, and go to my wife's place to say hello."

In fact, the time was a little earlier than usual, Madam Zhang thought, it was so easy for the wife to be fair and locked up Aunt Ning.This nanny didn't know that her girl had killed both the father and mother of the Ning family with brilliance yesterday.However, Mammy had good intentions, and even told Mrs. Xie about something today, Xie Moru didn't say anything, and went out with the wisteria and phoenix trees.

The Songbai Courtyard was still the same as yesterday, but it was a little different. It was obvious that even the woman who guarded the gate became more respectful and enthusiastic towards Xie Moru.Passing through the hanging flower gate, passing through the Chaoshou verandah, and in front of Mrs. Xie's house, the little maid raised the curtain and announced, "The eldest girl is here."

Mrs. Xie's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and Xie Moru invited Ann and let her sit down.Xie Moyou got up to greet the elder sister, Xie Lan and the others were there, the brothers and sisters greeted each other and waited for each other to sit down, Mrs. Xie smiled, "Today is earlier than usual."

Xie Moru said, "Because I wanted to talk to my wife about something, I came earlier."

Mrs. Xie asked, "What's the matter?" It was rare for Xie Moru to directly say something was wrong.

Su Lan brought tea, Xie Moru took it, and said, "Jingwei in my room, and Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li who are sweeping in the yard are not suitable. I want to tell my wife and change some more suitable ones for me." .”

Mrs. Xie immediately understood that Aunt Ning probably arranged for these people to enter. Now that Aunt Ning is locked up, of course Xie Moru would not keep such servants by her side.Aunt Ning has been the housekeeper for several years, and Xie Moru knew about such a thing. Thinking that Aunt Ning has today, she is really not wronged at all. Mrs. Xie told Su Lan, "Remember everything, and bring the person over in a while, and give it to Mo Ru Replace some old ones."

Su Lan quickly agreed.

It was still early at this moment, Xie Lan and the others were going to study at home, and those who wanted to leave earlier said, "Grandmother, we will go to school now."

Mrs. Xie smiled, "Go ahead. Study hard."

The three resigned from their two older sisters and went to school.

Xie Moyou's words were a bit sparse, but Mrs. Xie said, "The Shaoyaoyuan has been cleaned up today. Moyou will suspend classes for a day, let's move there first."

Xie Moru looked at Xie Moyou's haunted and haggard face, thinking Mrs. Xie should teach Xie Moyou something else, got up and said, "Grandmother, I'll go to Huazhang Hall first."

After Xie Moru left, Mrs. Xie sent the servant girl down, asked Xie Moyou to sit beside her, and asked, "Moyou, you must think that grandma is unreasonable?"

"I didn't!" Xie Moyou quickly denied, crying, "Grandma always loves me."

"Then, you must hate her for making a fuss out of a molehill, because the servant made Aunt Ning come here?"

Xie Moyou knew she couldn't admit it, but she couldn't even shake her head. She hated Xie Moru, she wished she could eat Xie Moru raw.

Mrs. Xie said softly, "You are the second girl in the family. You are ten years old this year, and you understand everything you should understand. In a few years, you should be called your husband's family. People like us, no matter what they say to you in the future , Married in the past must be the main wife. Think about it, in the future, if you face a slave who says that your aunt's family is your in-laws, what do you think?"

Mrs. Xie's IQ in the inner house is still quite enough, Xie Mo burst into tears, and said softly, "Grandmother, aunt is my mother after all."

Mrs. Xie asked again, "If there are sons and daughters in the future, and they tell you that your aunt is your real mother, what do you think?"

Xie Moyou cried immediately and didn't know why she was crying. Mrs. Xie said, "I know you are strong, and being strong is not a bad thing, but your resentment is wrong. Everyone has their own place. Think about it, Aunt Ning How should I treat her when she has not made a mistake? She has made a mistake and deserves to be punished. You are a girl, and when you get married in the future, you must know the importance of etiquette. In a family, if all the aunts and concubines are in chaos, it is the root of the chaos You have always disliked your eldest sister, and always wanted to overwhelm her. Girls can be so strong, but think about it, you are the sisters of a father. If she gets well in the future, won’t it be good for you? Or Say, if she is not well, it will be good for you?"

"What your aunt did and said, I just put up with it for the sake of your siblings earlier. This time, it's not just that Mrs. Chen who was bold enough to say something wrong, Ning told you that Fang's family is full of people. At the time of death, when she taught you that your elder sister's bad things can bring out your goodness, I decided to move you out." When Mrs. Xie said this, Xie Moyou's face turned pale.

Mrs. Xie said, "What about the Fang family has long been decided. It's better to be Xie. We are a family. She is so malicious. I took her life out of consideration for your face."

Xie Moyou saw that Mrs. Xie knew all these things, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only look at her grandmother in panic, and then she heard her say, "I know, you have always hated your status as a concubine, and you feel that you are not as good as not having an aunt. , Ning family will be able to straighten up, and you will be the daughter of the aunt. Don't worry, your father and aunt were married by His Majesty, and these are the poem letters that Ning wrote to your father after his marriage." Mrs. Xie took out a The box was given to Xie Moyou, and said in a cold voice, "She is a concubine, she was not forced by others, it was not your father's initiative, it was her wishful thinking! You became a concubine today, and she chose it for you. If you want to blame, blame her too. Why did you do such a shameless thing in the first place!"

Xie Moyou sat beside her grandmother, but her world was spinning for a while, and she felt that the whole world had collapsed.

Xie Moyou obviously didn't have the ability to resist stress, and she fell ill that night. She hadn't moved yet, so Mrs. Xie had to place her in Xikua Hospital to take care of her nearby.

Xie Moru didn't say anything after hearing about it.Xie Bai asked Xie Moru to go to visit the sick together, Xie Moru said, "She can understand, it's okay if I don't go. She doesn't understand, if I go, she will only think that I'm there to watch the fun." The implication , it’s the same whether you go or not.

Xie Bo asked Xie Moru curiously, "Would it be boring to see everything so thoroughly?"

Xie Moru thought about it carefully, and replied, "No." She is not a fairy, nor can she be seen through at a glance, she also needs to think, and the process of thinking is more interesting.Like this time, it was obvious that Mrs. Xie had given heavy medicine, and Xie Moyou fell ill because she couldn't bear the blow.

Xie Bo went to see Xie Moyou alone, and borrowed Xie Moru's "Walking in Thousand Miles" by the way.

Xie Moyou's illness has not healed yet, and Mrs. Xie has already found an official media to find another good concubine for her eldest son.

A good concubine should be born in a decent family, good-looking, not a concubine, it is better to be able to read and understand the truth.For such a harsh condition, of course, Mrs. Xie paid a high price, three thousand silver for the hire.With such handwriting, the official media here naturally wouldn't just run errands for nothing. Half a month after Xie Moyou recovered from his illness, a concubine surnamed Sun was carried into the Lilac Courtyard some distance from the Peony Courtyard.

The Xie family didn't serve wine, so let's just conclude the contract.

Aunt Sun, needless to say about her appearance, she also has a gentle temper. Mrs. Xie saw her in person, and ordered her confidants to inquire about it. The family is down and down, and the stepmother is the head of the family. Only the stepmother gave birth to brothers in her natal family.

Aunt Sun came in, she was going to offer tea to the mistress, Fang never saw outsiders, Mrs. Xie said, "Grandma is not well, you go to kowtow outside the cuckoo courtyard."

Aunt Sun was taken by her mother-in-law to kowtow, and Mrs. Xie rewarded her with a red envelope, and let her go to the Lilac Courtyard to rest.

Every morning, if Xie Song was resting in her courtyard, Aunt Sun would help Xie Song get up first, and then go to Songbaiyuan to say hello after breakfast, and after Xie Song said goodbye, she would talk with his parents in Songbaiyuan.Aunt Sun went to the Rhododendron Courtyard to pay her respects, she couldn't enter the Rhododendron Courtyard, so she kowtowed outside like the first day, and then went back to the Lilac Courtyard.

Mrs. Xie sent her confidant, Nanny Qi, to take care of Xie Moyou in the Shaoyaoyuan, and casually said, "Aunt Sun knows the rules."

Xie Moyou bit her lower lip lightly, and Nanny Qi advised her privately, "Miss, think about it, think about it, does your wife love you? Miss is worrying about these things, but you are letting your wife down."

Xie Moyou also knew that her grandmother cherished her. During those days when she was sick, her grandmother visited her several times a day.It's just that she is usually arrogant, and she has a deep affection for Aunt Ning's mother and daughter. After knowing what Aunt Ning did, she was quite shocked, and she was also sad and embarrassed by what her biological mother did back then.Of course, she didn't have a good impression of Xie Moru either. Seeing Mammy Qi persuading her, Xie Moyou said softly, "Don't worry, Mammy, I know." Mrs. Xie said something that caught her heart. She will get married, and according to the family situation, she will definitely not be a minor for others.She is the main wife, so how does she treat the concubine's room?Comparing her heart with her heart, of course she also likes Auntie Sun.

Nanny Qi sighed secretly, the second girl is also a smart person, she was born so strong, but she was born as a concubine, if the first sister is not as good as her in everything, but the first sister is a hundred times stronger than her, this kind of temperament is hard to calm down for a while.

In the blink of an eye, August is cool, and the birthday of the third old lady is coming.
