A Thousand Hills

Chapter 35

Xie Moru got a bottle of cotton and liked it very much.In the evening, I ate with my mother, and they still ate noodles. In the evening, I did not eat mutton noodles. The mother and daughter ate vegetarian noodle soup.In early autumn, it is cool in the morning and evening, but it is warm to eat noodle soup.I don't know if it's Xie Moru's illusion, but Xie Moru always feels that his mother's eyes have some gentle meaning.

In the house of the three old ladies, the female relatives eat with the three old ladies. Xie Yan stayed at her natal home today, and with Xie Yan here, the dinner was more sumptuous.

It was not time for dinner, and the female relatives were sitting together talking. Seeing Jiang Xingyun, Xie Yan said, "Xingyun just came, and you don't know many things, so why give Mo Ru a special birthday gift. Who are you, who is she?" Who, she is a little girl, but she knows what is good and bad."

Jiang Xingyun asked casually, "Is there something wrong with Miss Xie?"

Xie Yan curled her lips, "The last time I came to our house, but your aunt said a few words about her when she was sick, so she sued your uncle and asked your sister-in-law to apologize to her a little girl! Her ignorance There are many things, good or bad!"

Li's face was a little embarrassed, and she hurriedly said, "Sister, you misunderstood this, it's nothing." Although a sister-in-law should give way to her sister-in-law, but sister-in-law like Xiu has no good deeds in her previous life!

Xie Yan snapped back, "Where is the misunderstanding, Xingyun doesn't know about the obvious things, so tell her and let her know."

On a dark morning in autumn, the house was lit, and the beaded pendant on Jiang Xingyun's ear was flickering under the light. She raised her eyes, looked at Xie Yan inexplicably, and said, "Cousin is my aunt's own daughter. With things like this, how can my cousin sit here? Why don’t you go and teach her a lesson and let her know what’s going on!”

Xie Yan was speechless at the moment, and then mumbled, "When I meet her someday, I have to talk about it."

Jiang Xingyun was completely puzzled, and said, "My mother has been wronged, so is it possible that my cousin has to pick a day to get justice for my mother? It seems that I have misunderstood my cousin."

Xie Yan was sitting on pins and needles, how could the three old ladies bear the daughter-in-law like this, and smoothed things over, "Listen to what your cousin said, she can be sure about anything, nothing. It's just that it's true that you have a bad temper, but it's not true. Worry, she is well-behaved, and all your sisters like her."

Xie Pei smiled, "That's what I told my little aunt, Mo You is the most kind, we often play together."

Jiang Xingyun smiled slightly, "That's all, cousin don't always scare me, if someone wronged my aunt, then cousin doesn't care, as my own niece, I will never stand idly by!"

Hearing what Jiang Xingyun said, the three old ladies were quite relieved.Xie Yan really died unjustly, she, her, her mother was wronged, how could she not care.

Let Jiang Xingyun say this, when Xie Yan went to visit Mrs. Xie in Shangshu Mansion the next day, she saw Xie Moru and said, "I didn't say that Moru, last time I heard that you went to visit the old lady's illness, and a word didn't suit you. I lost my temper and asked my sister-in-law to come over and apologize to you. This is not something you should do as a junior. Little girl, no matter how angry you are, you have to put it away."

Xie Moru took a look at Xie Yan, and said calmly, "I don't dare to admit my wife's words. I have been taught by my grandmother, and my grandmother has never said anything wrong with me. What my wife said is to say Grandma didn't teach me well?"

Without waiting for Xie Yan to refute, Xie Moru said, "I am a junior, how can I be serious with my cousin's wife, grandma, why don't you talk to my cousin's wife, lest my cousin and wife misunderstand our Shangshufu. If my aunt says this, those who don’t know can see that there are no elders in our Shangshufu’s eyes.” She and Xie Yan are not in the same generation, not to mention that Xie Yan is a muddleheaded person. Just let Mrs. Xie use her identity to crush her quickly.

As soon as Xie Yan opened her mouth, Mrs. Xie's complexion darkened, and she said directly to Xie Yan, "Ayan, when you go back to your mother's house, I'm glad you came to see me as an old sister-in-law. If there are other things, please ask clearly Besides the reason, if you don’t know, go back and ask your father and your elder brother, what’s going on? I’ll take Mo Ru to see your mother’s illness, Mo Ru kindly asks you, your mother scolded her for not having a nose or a face, Your sister-in-law has swollen Mo Ru's wrist. This is what I saw. Your sister-in-law came here to see if Mo Ru's injury is better? Could it be that she hurt someone, so she shouldn't come to see? If there is one sentence in my words Fake, the sky is thundering!"

It was the first time Xie Yan had seen Mrs. Xie say such serious words, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she hurriedly said, "Look at what my sister-in-law said, I just listened to what the broken-mouthed woman said, so I took it seriously. I Just thinking about it, it’s better not to be like this kind of person.”

Mrs. Xie said indifferently, "Could it be that I taught it all by myself. I watched her grow up, and whoever says she is not good means that I am not good as a grandmother. You are also an adult, so don't listen to the wind and rain like this in the future." , even if you hear a woman say these gossips, you should deal with it immediately, how can you take it seriously! Why come here to be wronged! It's better to be wronged by your mother and daughter too much!"

Mrs. Xie taught Xie Yan a lesson, and sent her away without food.

After Xie Yan left, Mrs. Xie said to Xie Moyou, "If Ayan said a word about this kind of thing, people would not talk about your elder sister, but only about the girl from Shangshufu? Lose all."

Xie Moyou was taught.

Mrs. Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and then sent someone to deliver a message to the third old lady. She will go over to talk tomorrow.

Xie Moru went back to Dujuan Courtyard for dinner at noon, the autumn wind was getting cooler, a cup of Babao tofu tasted very good, Xie Moru used half a bowl of rice extra.

After lunch, Mrs. Fang went to serve the Rhododendron tree. Xie Moru went back to the house to rest, took the desk "Xining Ji" and turned two pages, and couldn't help feeling moved.She had always felt that what Xie Yan said today was suspicious, not the content of the words, only Xie Yan would say such nonsense words, but, all right, how could Xie Yan suddenly bring up old things?It's really old, it's been a few months.Even if Xie Yan was not angry, he should have come here earlier. Isn't it suspicious that he suddenly mentioned this matter at this moment?
Who used this to stimulate Xie Yan?

The Ning family wouldn't be so stupid, the third old lady's house...if someone teased Xie Yan, they wouldn't be able to wait until now.Furthermore, if it was done by someone from the third old lady's family, Mrs. Xie is not the one who will suffer. Xie Yan is not smart. Who really provoked her? She probably told that person a long time ago, but today she can only be silent. Confusedly use a woman to smooth things over for herself.

Touching the slightly old pages in his hand, Xie Moru said, "Nurse, send someone to call Li Qing's wife."

Li Qing's daughter-in-law came very quickly, the Dujuan courtyard was much quieter than other courtyards, as soon as she came in, she took her breath first, and didn't dare to look east or west, which fully demonstrated the good quality of the daughter-in-law in charge of the Shangshu Mansion.

Xie Moru has moved to the small courtyard of Qiuju, the courtyard is full of chrysanthemums, some early chrysanthemums are in full bloom, the fragrance of flowers is mixed with the autumn wind, it seems to bring a bit of coldness.Entered the room and invited Ann, Xie Moru said, "Sister-in-law Li sit down."

Wisteria moved the embroidered stool, and Li Qing's wife thanked her for sitting down, and Fang sat next to half of her buttocks. Xie Moru said, "This time I called Mrs. Li over, because I have something to ask Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li knows where the third old lady is." Miss Jiang?"

Li Qing's daughter-in-law was originally a helper when Xie Moru was organizing Xie Bai's birthday banquet, and since then, she knew that the eldest girl is a formidable person.Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Aunt Ning, who was originally in full bloom, was grounded. On the contrary, the eldest girl became more and more embarrassing in front of the wife, and even faintly overshadowed the second girl.Li Qing's daughter-in-law is quick-sighted. This time Xie Moru celebrated her birthday. The other daughter-in-law in charge didn't respond, so she came over and kowtowed first. Today, Xie Moru asked her something again, and Li Qing's wife immediately said, "over there, my lord." In the house, there are also old sisters whom I have known before, but I have heard of some of them."

Xie Moru didn't speak, Li Qing's daughter-in-law continued, "I heard that Miss Jiang is a lady from the General's Mansion, but she is very powerful. When Miss Jiang came, she brought several carts of things. She put it in the vault, but Miss Jiang didn't see anything, so she asked someone directly, but she didn't want to put it in the vault, so she just asked someone to take her to the small courtyard where she lived. Besides, the old master who was originally there The third old lady likes it the most, and they eat at the same table with the third old lady from morning to night. Miss Jiang is not very happy, saying that it is okay to have brothers and sisters who are direct relatives. After eating, as long as Uncle Jie was with the third old lady, Miss Jiang would use it in her own yard. But the third old lady said that Miss Jiang understood the rules, and now all the female relatives follow the third old lady, and the men follow the third old lady. Miss Jiang also said I want to buy a house and go out to live, but the third old lady repeatedly refused, and Miss Jiang didn't mention it. Also, Miss Jiang seems to be able to punch and kick. Others, I don't know much about it. Otherwise, I will go and inquire carefully. ?”

"No need." She didn't want to inquire about Jiang Xingyun's secrets, but just wanted to know about Jiang Xingyun's actions. These two or three things are enough.Xie Moru said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for making this trip."

Li Qing's daughter-in-law laughed, "Don't hesitate to order the eldest girl to do errands for the eldest girl, and it's the eldest girl who looks at the servants and maids to pay for it."

Xie Moru signaled, "Nurse, treat Sister-in-law Li to a cup of tea before leaving."

Li Qing's daughter-in-law got up and went to have tea in Madam Zhang's room.

Xie Moru was leaning on the couch, and the autumn sun was shining in at noon, reflecting Xie Moru's skin as white and soft as milk.Xie Moru looked at the fallen leaves outside the window, thinking, even if it was her, it shouldn't be intentional.People who keep their wealth first and then their dignity like this, even if they employ people, they won't use stupid people like Xie Yan.

Seeing that Xie Yan was also present at lunch, Jiang Xingyun thought about it for a while, and was really speechless.Could it be that this cousin really went to provoke Xie Moru?

Jiang Xingyun doesn't even know what to say?Even though she had only met that Miss Xie from the Shangshu Mansion twice, even though she hadn't discussed it in depth, she knew that it was not easy to provoke.As soon as she came here, she heard about the good name of that Ningxian concubine in the Shangshu Mansion, she was a kind person in heaven and there was no one in the world, Jiang Xingyun didn't like it very much at that time.It's not that she has any dissatisfaction with the Ning family, but Jiang Xingyun is different from these people in the third old lady's house. She is the only daughter in the family, and her parents are extra careful in teaching her. She knows some old things about Princess Ningping.Fang's decline is due to the political situation. The Shangshu Mansion is snobbish. If he has the ability to kill Fang, he should help his concubine and then go to promote virtuousness.

When she went to the Shangshu Mansion, she deliberately took a few more glances at Xie Moru. Jiang Xingyun's sense of Xie Moru was at least better than that of Xie Moyou. He was quiet and calm.Later, when doing things for his father, he met Xie Bai, Xie Moru's uncle and nephew on the road. Jiang Xingyun was a little surprised. If Xie Moru was really not taken seriously as the man in the family said, then how could the prospective son-in-law Xie Tanhua personally Take her to the streets?After arranging the affairs of his parents, Jiang Xingyun had the heart to inquire about it. If he did not inquire, he would not know. He was shocked when he inquired.Sure enough, not long after, I heard that the concubine Ning Xian had been restrained, and another good concubine entered the Shang Shufu.

Now, she just gave Xie Moru a birthday gift, but Xie Yan couldn't see it, and wanted to teach her how to behave.She knew that Xie Yan was married to the Ning family, but the family hadn't realized that that Miss Xie was no longer the former Wu Xia Ameng!
Xie Yan returned to the mansion before noon, with such a close relationship, if Xie Yan hadn't said or done something inappropriate, Shang Shu's mansion would have kept food.Jiang Xingyun hoped that Xie Yan wouldn't just go to Shangshufu to talk nonsense because of what she said yesterday.
