A Thousand Hills

Chapter 8

If Xie Moru were to judge the Bailing incident, she would never think about it like Aunt Ning, thinking about it endlessly, and finally turned her face green.The gain outweighs the loss, isn't it just a bird.

Of course, Xie Moru would not understand the sorrow in Aunt Ning's heart.Obviously she is a childhood sweetheart, well-matched, and a childhood sweetheart, but once her family business is ruined, she can only be a concubine. Who can understand her suffering!Even if his father was wronged and rehabilitated in the future, Xie Song already has a regular wife, and Fang's one day, she can only be a concubine, only a concubine!
Over the years, she had given birth to Xie's family and served Mrs. Xie tremblingly, not daring to make any mistakes.She just wanted people to pay attention to the Rhododendron Courtyard, Mrs. Xie, what does this mean!
In fact, Mrs. Xie didn't mean anything, she was just warning Aunt Ning not to stretch her hand too far.Moreover, Mrs. Xie was a little disappointed with Aunt Ning. She didn't look like such a petty person in the past. No matter how she lived, she became less and less well-organized. She was surprised and surprised.

Mrs. Xie is the wife of the family, and her evaluation of Aunt Ning is not too much. From Mrs. Xie's point of view, the Xie family has treated Aunt Ning well. For the other concubines, Aunt Ning is now in Xie's house, but she is only missing the status of the main concubine.Mrs. Xie had warned Concubine Ning not to reach out for the matter of the Dujuan Courtyard, but Concubine Ning was still staring at her like a tiger. Could it be that she wanted to attack Fang?If she dared to move, she ruined herself for a small matter, and brought Xie's family into trouble!
Mrs. Xie was dissatisfied with Aunt Ning, but she never thought that her ass decides her head.Concubine Ning came from a good background, and she received the education of a decent lady when she was young. However, because of this, Concubine Ning, who has been in the position of concubine for a long time, has an extraordinary desire for her wife.This desire made her always pay attention to Du Juanyuan, which occupies the position of the main family. Even if Fang Shi has lost power, if Fang Shi is not dead, she will not be justified!Aunt Ning felt that she had made all the preparations for the main family: the return of her mother's family to the court, her husband's love, her children, her reputation as a virtuous person, and Fang's loss of power.

But why, Fang just refused to die?
If Fang is not dead, she is a concubine, a concubine!

This kind of obsession made Aunt Ning pay attention to Dujuanyuan all the time, even if she told herself deep down in her heart, all she had to do was wait, just wait patiently.Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Mrs. Fang does not die, so what. Mrs. Fang has no son, and the Xie family will belong to her son sooner or later.

Aunt Ning felt that she was calm and calm enough, just like she taught Xie Moyou: don't care, don't care about Dujuanyuan at all.If you care, it's flattering her.Really, don't worry about it...

Aunt Ning thought she didn't care, but if she didn't care, why did a lark make her lose her composure so much?

Aunt Ning wouldn't think about this, and even if she did, she wouldn't admit that she cared so much about the Dujuan Courtyard. She just needed to prepare her mentally and serve Mrs. Xie the next day.She has a son, she can afford to wait, and she will definitely be able to wait until the day when she takes charge of the Xie family.

Mrs. Xie didn't say anything about Bailing or Bailing, and Aunt Ning became more respectful. Listening to Mrs. Xie's order for tomorrow's banquet, the post had already been sent out.Today is the Xinke Scholars parading across the street on horseback. In the evening, the emperor will give a banquet in Qionglin. Therefore, the banquet will be held tomorrow.

Mrs. Xie said, "Mo You is getting old, and he should learn how to treat others. There must be a lot of wives, grandmas and girls coming tomorrow. Let Mo You watch and talk and joke with the girls. How many times do you arrange?" An old girl and daughter-in-law serve. The boys are entertained and talked by Azhi and Alan and their brothers."

Aunt Ning felt relieved, and said with a smile, "Yes, at that time, someone will go to Huazhang Hall and talk to the family, and the children will have a day off tomorrow."

"Okay. Most of the guests are family friends tomorrow, and there are many things to be busy with. You can go." Mrs. Xie told the eldest girl, Su Lan, "Go to the Dujuan Courtyard and tell Mo Ru to come over after breakfast tomorrow morning."

Aunt Ning didn't know if Mrs. Xie told her to listen on purpose, but even if Mrs. Xie did it on purpose, what could Aunt Ning do, she could only pretend not to know.

Xie Moru heard Madam Zhang talking about a banquet at home tomorrow when she came back from school at noon, she nodded, Xie Bai was in the middle of Tanhuaer, there is no one in the family who does not want to treat guests, and it will be a few days.

Nanny Zhang smiled, the eldest girl in her family is becoming more and more outstanding day by day, as long as the family members have long eyes, they can see it.While serving Xie Moru to change the homely clothes, Madam Zhang smiled, "I have prepared all the clothes and jewelry for the eldest girl."

After changing the clothes, Xie Moru went to have dinner with his mother, came back to tease the lark in the cage, ordered the servant girl to set up a bamboo couch under the porch, picked up a book from the bookcase, and then nestled on the couch to read.

Nanny Zhang hugged the thin quilt on the bed and put it on Xie Moru's body, muttering, "Even though it's warm at noon, it's still a bit windy."

Xie Moru said, "The wisteria is blooming, let's make wisteria porridge tonight."

Nanny Zhang has nothing to answer.

Nanny Zhang was a hundred times more enthusiastic about Xie Moru's banquet than Xie Moru. She not only brought Xie Moru a new dress, but also took out all the amethyst jewelry that Mrs. Xie had rewarded last time, and even what Xie Moru wore. I spent most of the night thinking about my hair bun before deciding on it.Who knew, meeting such a stubborn girl by chance, Xie Moru said, "It's good to have a double bun."

Nanny Zhang hurriedly said, "It's still a generous bun, and it's also convenient to wear jewelry, isn't it?"

Xie Moru, "Not so much hair."

Nanny Zhang smiled, "I've already prepared a fake bun. With a little fake bun, it won't look too big on the outside, and the hair will be easy to comb."

Xie Moru insisted, "Shuangyaji."

Zhang Momo wanted to hang herself, and said repeatedly, "The double bun is too common."

Xie Moru took a step back, "hanging a bun."

Only then did Zhang Momo agree, and when she wanted to put rouge on Xie Moru, Xie Moru refused again, she looked good, and she was young, so she didn't need to apply rouge.Zhang Momo looked Xie Moru from head to toe again, except that there were too few jewelry on her head and she refused to use rouge, the eldest girl in her family was really outstanding.Really, in Zhang Momo's view, a girl from a rich family should be as stable and dignified as her big girl.

Finally, I took a silver aromatherapy ball and brought it to Xie Moru. Madam Zhang said, "Girls don't like incense. I put some rosewater in it. It smells very fragrant. Just put it in your sleeve."

After dressing up Xie Moru, Jingwei and Wisteria also changed into clean maid dresses, with a pair of silk flower jewelry on their hair, Zhang Nanny told them, "Be sure to serve the girl well."

The two agreed softly.

Zhang Momo saw that it was not early, so she took Xie Moru, a maid, to serve Xie Moru and went to Songbaiyuan.

Songbaiyuan is very lively.

The three fathers and sons of the Xie family, Mrs. Xie, Aunt Ning, Xie Moyou, Xie Zhi, Xie Lan, and Xie Yu were all there, talking happily.As soon as Xie Moru came, the joy and peace in the room obviously condensed instantly, Xie Moru was deeply proud of his power.

"Come here." Xie Bai joked with a smile, "In the past, you were the first, so you are late for dressing up."

Xie Moru didn't have a sense of humor, and said seriously, "We still go out at the same time." No one told her to come here earlier.

Xie Bo smiled and praised, "Today's body is very good-looking."

Xie Moru smiled slightly, greeted the elders, greeted each other with his younger siblings, and sat down at the first place under Mrs. Xie, Xie Moyou and his younger brother sat down.Mrs. Xie said to the children, "There are a lot of guests here today, you have to show the style of our Xie family, so that you can entertain the children here."

Xie Moru and the others stood up and responded with their hands down.

Mrs. Xie smiled, "Okay, sit down."

Su Lan held a cup of tea, Xie Moru took it, took a sip slowly, and put it on the table by her hand.That kind of calmness and calmness, even if Xie Moru adjusted his slightly joyful expression, it still seems not suitable for the atmosphere in this room.

This is beyond Xie Moru's ability.

Fortunately, she has the ability to ignore, she just pretended not to see any kind of incompatibility, so Xie Moru maintained that expression of faint joy, looking at the displeasure in the room, and then, in her heart Really happy.

Xie Moru is not the kind of person who doesn't want to see others' good, or you can't even think about my bad life, revenge society.She just thought it was interesting that the Xie family was in a state of rejection and had to accept it.

Xie Shangshu thought of what his youngest son said to him, looked at Xie Moru carefully, and found that Xie Moru didn't even move a single eyebrow, and even looked at him, he couldn't help asking, "What are you doing these days?"

Xie Moru said, "Go to school with the second sister."

Xie Shangshu twirled his beard and asked with a smile, "What have you learned?"

"Four Books for Women."

"Oh, what did the Fourth Nvshu say?"

"The reason for being a human being."

Xie Shangshu lowered his head slightly, and heard a daughter-in-law in charge come in to answer. The third grandfather of Qizi Hutong arrived, Xie Shangshu didn't ask any more questions, got up with his two sons, and said to Mrs. Xie, "Let's go to the front first."

Mrs. Xie brought her grandchildren to the door, just in time to welcome the third old lady in. The third old lady praised Xie Bai, and Xie Shangshu saw that the third old lady was followed by a group of daughters-in-law, maids and women, and said with a smile, "three Sit in my aunt's room, and I'll take the children to say hello to third uncle." Then he took his two sons to the front yard.

The third old lady praised Xie Bo that there is nothing in the sky, there is nothing in the world, Mrs. Xie helped the third old lady into the house, and smiled, "He, there is still a lot to improve, so the third aunt should not keep praising him."

The third old lady smiled, "Bai'er is our Xie family's thousand-mile horse, I'm not praising him, I'm telling the truth."

Xie Moru brought his younger siblings to greet the third old lady. Xie Moru is definitely No.1 on the list that the three old ladies hate. When the old man saw Xie Moru, he frowned and asked Mrs. Xie, "Why did she come out?"

Xie Moru sat back in the chair and did not speak, Mrs. Xie smiled, "The children are all grown up, it's time to see the world."

The three old ladies turned their lips away, took the tea from Su Lan, took a sip and said, "Let's talk by ourselves, if you want me to say, you are just too kind." Mrs. Xie didn't say anything, and her old man just said Those who are savvy don't say anything more.It's just that a large group of female family members who came in with the third old lady followed the third old lady as if they didn't see Xie Moru at all, and the three girls from the third old lady's family only talked to Xie Moyou.Xie Moru casually took an orange on the fruit plate at hand, and slowly peeled off the orange peel.

Aunt Ning said with a smile, "Madam, let the girls go to the room to talk. I'm afraid they will feel uncomfortable in front of the elders."

Mrs. Xie smiled, "Moyou, take your sisters to play in the little flower hall. There are many girls here today, so don't neglect."

Xie Moyou got up and responded, and left with the sister group. Xie Moru leisurely followed her. With her leisurely and carefree posture, the three old ladies turned green and complained to Mrs. Xie and Aunt Ning, "You mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, They're all so bad-hearted."

Aunt Ning quickly said, "I can't take what the third old lady said, so don't make fun of me."

The third old lady smiled slightly, "If you can't afford it, I think you can afford it."

Although Aunt Ning felt that she was worthy of the position of Xie Song's wife long ago, what the third old lady said was really out of place, she actually made fun of her status, it was really annoying, so she hurriedly found an excuse and went out to do something .
