A Thousand Hills

Chapter 42

When they came to Cheng'en Gong's mansion, Xie's family had five carriages, one for Mrs. Xie, one for Xie Moru, one for Xie Moyou, one for Xie Huan and Xie Pei, and two for the rest of the maids.Now when I go back, Mrs. Xie makes Xie Mo sit like himself.

The moment the car curtain was lowered, all the joys and sorrows on Xie Moru's face disappeared without a trace. She put her hands on her knees, her spine was straight, but her eyes were slightly closed, obviously she did not have any desire to talk.

Mrs. Xie sighed inwardly, and held Xie Moru's gently trembling hands on her knees. These hands were small, soft, cold and slippery, not as calm as its owner.For such a proud person as Xie Moru, Aunt Ning could not bribe her with years of flattery, and her family could not shake her after years of cold treatment. For such a person, making her bow her knees to Princess Ningrong and Princess Wenkang is a kind of kindness in itself. Insult it.I didn't see anything unusual about Xie Moru in Cheng'en Gong's mansion, it turned out that this made Xie Moru so painful.

The pain of a resolute person is very pitiful, but Mrs. Xie feels strange. She doesn't know how many times she has bowed to the two princesses. There is a difference between monarchs and ministers. It is strange to salute to the princess. If Xie Moru thinks it is Would it be strange to be insulted?

However, Mrs. Xie felt from the bottom of her heart that Xie Mo was different from her.

Xie Moru quickly stabilized her emotions, her hands stopped trembling, her breathing gradually became steady and even, then her shoulders relaxed, her clenched teeth loosened naturally, the line of her jaw gradually softened, and the corners of her lips were no longer tight Instead, it is slightly upturned to soften the facial expression.When he opened his eyes again, Xie Moru was as indifferent as before.

When they got home, a woman put down the footstool, raised the curtain, Xie Moru helped the servant girl get off the car, then stood by the side, and naturally stretched out her hand to help Mrs. Xie get off the car.

Mrs. Xie couldn't help feeling sad, and held Xie Moru's hand tightly.What kind of hard work has been paid to cultivate this level of perseverance, why not...

Xie Moyou led Xie Huan and Xie Pei sisters to follow Mrs. Xie, they were very scared today, and they didn't know what to say when they arrived at Songbaiyuan.Mrs. Xie sat on the main couch, and first said to Xie Moru, "You have been thinking about your mother for half a day, go back and rest, you are tired today."

Xie Moru saluted and returned to Dujuan Courtyard with his maid.

Su Xin asked, "The kitchen has prepared meals, do you want some for the wives and girls?"

Needless to say, the whole family didn't make good use of it in Cheng'en Gong's Mansion, Mrs. Xie smiled, "That's fine."

Su'e led the little maids to help the masters wash their hands with warm water towels. Afterwards, Mrs. Xie asked Xie Moyou and the others which girl they met in the girl group.They were so frightened today that they didn't bother to meet new friends, they just talked to the girls they knew in the past.Mrs. Xie listened with a smile, and Xie Pei asked with some concern, "Auntie, why don't you offend the two princesses at once, is it okay?"

Mrs. Xie said, "It's just a few words between your Highnesses and Mo Rue, and it's enough to offend you. Your Highness has a big heart, so how can you care about such trivial matters. Besides, even the officials of the upper court have trouble with their affairs in the court. There are always disputes, don't you little girls bicker, right and wrong is the most important thing."

Seeing the people who seem to understand but don't understand, Mrs. Xie secretly sighed, they are all about the same age, Xie Huan and Xie Pei are even older than Xie Moru, the difference is not only in scheming, but also in a different level of vision.Mrs. Xie laughed at herself, she was used to seeing Xie Moru, but she was not used to seeing these normal children.

Mrs. Xie is willing to teach, and it depends on each person's understanding. Xie Moyou said softly, "Grandmother, eldest sister doesn't like others to say that she is like a princess." Family extermination, but Aunt Ning didn't tell her that Xie Moru had such an amazing life experience.It was that aunt who never left home, who was actually the wife of a first-rank country.In the past, he only thought that Xie Moru was good at choking people to death with a single sentence, but now he realizes that Xie Moru's words are sharp, and he was really polite to her in the past.

Mrs. Xie saw that Xie Moyou was still somewhat spiritual, and said, "Mo Ru passed away before she was born. Mo Ru's surname is Xie, and I don't think she looks like the eldest princess at all."

Mrs. Xie instructed the three of them, "Think carefully when things happen, and you can't follow others' opinions. Right and wrong, you don't say what you say, but you have to judge in your heart." Although the princess is noble, the royal family has royal rules, and ministers have ministers' actions. If you are a gentry, if you see the royal family, you will bow your knees and be speechless. That is not a gentry, but a slave!

The three hurriedly got up and responded.

Suxin brought the food box with her daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Xie brought the three of them to eat.

When Xie Moru returned to the Rhododendron Courtyard, Mrs. Fang was tending the Rhododendron tree in the garden.Xie Moru didn't go over, just looked at his mother from a distance.She somewhat understood why her mother didn't go out, why did she have to go out?There are so many disgusting things outside, with honey and swords in their mouths, with malicious intentions, and needles hidden in the cotton, so it's good not to go out.

She is different from her mother, she has never seen the first princess glory, she was born in this small courtyard, she is not willing to be trapped here for the rest of her life, she wants to go out and have a look, even if every step is thorny, she will To find a way.

The mother and daughter may have a common heart, Fang seems to have sensed it, looked up at the gate of the garden, and saw Xie Moru standing in the wind and stopped.

This garden is not big, but it is not small either. The mother and daughter maintain a posture of looking at each other, but they are far from being able to see the expressions in each other's eyes clearly.The mother and daughter just looked at each other across the garden. After a long time, Fang returned his attention to the rhododendron tree, turned around and continued to take care of the tree.Xie Moru's eyes flashed, and he also turned back to Qiuju's courtyard.

Nanny Zhang came out to greet her with two maids of winter plum and narcissus. Seeing that Xie Moru looked tired, she said, "Miss, are you tired?"

The two maids went up to help her take off the big clothes, changed into homely clothes, and sat in front of the makeup mirror to take off the hairpins, Xie Moru washed up, Zhang Nanny ordered the little maids to serve meals.

When the smell of the food wafted in, Xie Mo Rufang said, "When I smell the aroma of the food, I feel hungry."

Nanny Zhang filled a bowl of mushroom soup first, and said, "Where can I eat well outside, drink soup to warm my stomach first."

Xie Moru was really hungry, so he ate a bowl of pearl rice with a few side dishes.After dinner, Xie Moru played chess in his room to pass the time.Mrs. Xie thinks that she has outstanding talent, but in fact there is no outstanding talent, it is just that she spends more time to figure out people's hearts.

Mrs. Xie didn't ask Xie Moru to have dinner with her again. After eating in the Songbai Courtyard, she guessed that the Rhododendron Courtyard had already been used up. Fang ordered Su Lan to ask Xie Moru to come and talk.

At this time, Xie Moru couldn't see the slightest gaffe in the car when he returned home, no matter from his appearance or expression.Mrs. Xie sent the servant girl away, Xie Moru sat down calmly, explained what he had done today to Xie Shangshu, and said, "Grandfather, don't worry, before I left today, I was expecting that the trip to Cheng'en Gongfu would not go well. I am not good at swallowing one's anger or flattery, and I will not maintain any kindness on the surface with those who have malicious intentions. Maybe they are too good at hiding the knife in their smiles, and they are too good at calculating with nine twists and eighteen bends. I think today they will I understand, there are still people in this world who are used to going straight. These people understand my temper, so they can save trouble in the future, at least when someone wants to say something that I look like a princess, they will think twice before saying it." Everyone will pinch a soft persimmon Pinching, hard stubble is different, at least you have to weigh your own abilities before pinching.

Xie Shangshu said, "That's fine, you have your temperament." He has lived for many years, and it was the first time he heard a little girl say "I have my temper" and "These people will understand my temper".She wants others to understand her temper, not for her to obey others' temper.It's really overbearing to say these words from a little girl's mouth so plainly!

Xie Shangshu said, "If you say Wang Mang today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for a girl from the Hu family to enter Fengyi Palace."

Xie Moru's heart moved, and he said, "That can only show that His Majesty has no intention of making Hu's daughter a queen." It seems that the matter of making a queen is not out of holy will.

Xie Shangshu just smiled and said nothing, Xie Moru thought about it more deeply, the position of empress was never just as simple as a posthumous position, the position of empress represented too many political orientations.Today, when Concubine Hu Gui gave her a queen before she died, it was already a queen for the Hu family, even if Xie Moru said that it would be a waste to have another daughter of the Hu family.It's just that she didn't know much about the emperor's temperament before, and it was difficult to make such a judgment. Now that Xie Shangshu pointed her out, she immediately realized something. It seems that the emperor is not a fool at least.Then, it was His Majesty's deliberate intention to say that she was like the Eldest Princess before the servants, and the reason why everyone in the world would know about it.

It is never easy to judge a person, Xie Moru will not simply make a one-sided or absolute evaluation of a person.Just like the eldest princess Wenkang, this eldest princess doesn't have the temper of someone who would frame a young concubine and give the funeral things to his great-grandfather as a birthday present.At this age, Princess Wenkang still has such a bright temper. In the past few decades, Princess Wenkang's temper will only be more direct.It is more in line with Princess Wenkang's temper to kill the concubine if he doesn't like it.Of course, Marquis Yong'an is not a decoration either.Princess Wenkang has her own princess mansion, how can the Yong'an Hou mansion make the concubine not dislike her in front of the princess?Furthermore, the eldest princess herself is limited, so there is no wise female officer around her, so why did things happen later?

You think it's a pity that Li Qiao can't come out today, but the matter of Li Qiao has no effect on the eldest princess?Even Xie Bo said that this matter came from the restlessness in the Yong'an Hou Mansion.

There are too many things that I can't figure out, Xie Moru thought quickly, and said to Xie Shangshu, "I'm just worried about the queen mother in the palace."

Xie Shangshu listened quietly, Xie Moru said, "The identity of Queen Mother is invincible." What's more, this is His Majesty's biological mother.

Xie Shangshu asked, "What do you think the Hu family will do?"

"It is the best policy not to mention the matter of establishing a queen, and go to the palace to cry with the queen mother. As long as the queen mother has a minor illness, she will ask her majesty to recall the hardships of the past and give the girl of the Hu family a good marriage. That's all."

Xie Shangshu smiled and twisted his beard and said, "What do you mean by 'that's all?', your words have disturbed his family's planning for a long time." Xie Shangshu is also happy if His Majesty does not establish a queen. Suddenly, a queen was airborne and overwhelmed the daughter.Xie Shangshu didn't even want to see another daughter of the Hu family stepping into the palace!However, Xie Shangshu said, "This time I offended the Hu family severely."

Xie Moru didn't take it seriously, "His family provoked me first, and we reciprocated. If the whole world knows that his family is not against me, it doesn't matter if I offend his family again. Grandpa didn't rely on his loyalty to His Majesty to gain a foothold." Chaotang, why do scholars have a poor career for ten years, scholars have the arrogance of scholars, our family doesn't need to look at his family's face. We don't need to look at his family's face now, and we don't need to look at the Hu family's face in the future when the second uncle is the queen. Could it be she who lost the emperor's heart?No, the person Di Xin protects is her mother, and Di Xin does not exist to her.It has always been the Hu family who worry about gains and losses and are not satisfied.And Mrs. Xie's support for her in the Cheng'en mansion already represented the family's tendency, and she couldn't even see this.It seems that although Xie Bai favored Princess Yi'an, although Princess Yi'an was brought up by Queen Mother Hu, Xie Shangshu did not intend to be tied to the Hu family.

Xie Shangshu also understood that Xie Moru had her own judgment of right and wrong, and she didn't mind offending anyone.It doesn't matter if you are the eldest princess or the eldest princess, it doesn't matter if you are the son of the queen mother, she is not afraid at all.No matter what the opponent's status is, she will find out your weaknesses, and she will hit you with one hit!
Xie Shangshu said, "There is a family here, don't worry."

Xie Moru said, "This matter is over for our family." It is impossible for the Xie family to do anything else.The Hu family might do something, but His Majesty the Emperor would not allow the Queen Mother Hu to attack her.

Xie Moru got up to say goodbye.

After Xie Moru left, Mrs. Xie asked Shangshu Xie, "It's over for our family? Could it be that the Hu family will continue to make trouble?" This is really endless!

"It's not the Hu family." Xie Shangshu sighed, "The imperial capital is deep, and there are many people who fish in troubled waters." Can Xie Moru say "Wang Mang" to make the Hu family give up their position?That would underestimate the Hu family.However, today, the phrase "Wang Mang" has torn a hole in the layers of the Hu family's layout. I don't know how many people want to move their cameras. It depends on whether the Hu family will stop!
