A Thousand Hills

Chapter 86

Birds of a feather flock together.

Mrs. Xie felt that this was quite correct.

For example, Mrs. Xie was quite puzzled about the friendship between Xie Moru and Jiang Xingyun. Even if they gave each other things twice, it wouldn't be so easy.In the past, Mrs. Xie couldn't understand, but now, she understands everything.

From the fact that Jiang Xingyun wants to establish a female household, it shows that Jiang Xingyun is definitely an outlier among normal girls.Wei Dao and Xie Moru get along well, they are not normal people.

Mrs. Xie had a bottom line in her heart, and when the third old lady came to talk to her, Mrs. Xie was already mentally prepared.The three old ladies complained to her, "Tell me, what are these children thinking now? That girl Xingyun actually wants to set up a female household. What kind of female household can be established? After setting up a female household, what should I do when I get married?" ? Is it possible to find someone to marry?"

Mrs. Xie's family has an unpredictable Xie Moru, who has her own views on this kind of children. Mrs. Xie comforted the third old lady and said, "Auntie is too worried. If you want me to say, Xingyun is really a child. She is ambitious, and now she thinks of family inheritance. She set up the door to continue the family's incense. It is the matter of getting married in the future. We are close relatives. Xingyun's child's background and character are not Come on, such a good child, you have to be lucky to marry."

The third old lady sighed, "I can't do anything, she made up her mind that even nine cows can't be brought back."

Mrs. Xie persuaded the third old lady a few more words, but they were all words of enlightenment. Mrs. Xie didn't say a word about Jiang Xingyun's affairs.These competitive little girls have their own temperaments, not to mention the internal affairs of the Song family, she is the wife of the Xie family, how can she get involved?

Only then did Xie Moyou know that there are such things as female households in the world. He originally wanted to ask the third old lady what a female household is, but seeing the frowning description of the third old lady, she didn't open her mouth.

The third old lady was in poor spirits, so she left without having lunch.

After seeing off the three old ladies, Xie Moyou asked, "Grandma, what is a female household?"

Mrs. Xie basically told Xie Moyou, "If the family has no father or brother, and there is no man in the family, the imperial court allows the establishment of a female household."

Xie Moyou asked, "Then what about marriage when a female household is established?"

"Marriage..." Mrs. Xie said, "Marriage is actually no different from that of ordinary people. You can also recruit relatives at home, and the same is true for normal marriages. There is no difference."

Xie Moyou was a little dizzy again, "Then why did Miss Jiang set up a female household?"

Mrs. Xie said, "If there is no female household, how will the incense of the ancestral hall survive?"

Xie Moyou nodded half-understood, she is not stupid after all, she couldn't help but said, "But since it's a good thing, why are the three old ladies still sighing?"

Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Moru nonchalantly and said, "Mo Ru, tell Mo You."

Xie Moru has always spoken directly, without any euphemism, "After all, the incense of the ancestral hall cannot be passed on by women, and the female household is only temporary. In the future, when Miss Jiang gets married, her adoptive heirs can inherit Song's cigarettes. Don't forget, the third old lady They are also surnamed Song, so they are all daughters of the Song family, Miss Jiang's heirs can be adopted, but why can't the heirs of the three old ladies be adopted?"

Xie Moyou was taken aback, Mrs. Xie frowned, and scolded lightly, "No way! Our Xie family is not such a family style, how can Xie's heirs adopt a foreign surname!"

Xie Moru didn't take it seriously, "Ma'am, don't be upset, I just talked to the second sister briefly. This matter is naturally safe in our Xie family. If we want to leave it in someone else's house, many things will inevitably happen due to family wealth. As the saying goes , you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others. My sister is also grown up, and there is nothing wrong with knowing that some people are unpredictable."

Mrs. Xie sighed, and said to her two granddaughters, "In life and deeds, you still have to be loyal and clever, and it won't last long in the end."

Both of them responded positively.

Xie Moyou asked Xie Moru privately, "Big sister, tell me, will the third old lady really..."

"Three old ladies don't think so, but some people think so."

"Who?"

"Thank you Yan."

Xie Moyou's expression turned ugly immediately, Xie Moru seemed to ignore it, and said indifferently, "The Song family guarded Xining Pass for two generations, and the Song family's wealth, you can get a little idea of ​​it by asking about the scene where the three old ladies married into the Xie family. The descendants of Sanfang, don’t talk about whether they can climb to the position of Shangshu like their grandfather, but at a low level, how many Jinshi can they have? Even if your heart is moved, it’s hard to say this. Girls are different, and it’s nothing to talk privately with your mother. Therefore, even if Xie Yan doesn’t think so, someone will provoke her.”

Xie Moyou's face is no longer ugly at the moment, she feels that her three views need to be reshaped.When leaving, Xie Moyou staggered a little.

Xie Moyou went back to Shaoyaoyuan, and only then did she know what Nanny Qi meant when she often said that the family population was simple. At least, in her family, there was no such thing as trying to seize the orphan girl's property.Even though Mrs. Yan's temperament is straightforward, but she is good to her natal brothers and sisters-in-law, and her blood is close, will she really use Mrs. Yan's to plot with the third old lady about the property in Miss Jiang's hands?

Xie Moyou felt uneasy for several days, according to her mind, regardless of Xie Yan's character, Xie Yan is her aunt after all, and Xie Yan has always been good to her.Xie Moyou wanted to remind Xie Yan, but firstly, she couldn't see Xie Yan, and secondly, how should she remind her?Xie Yan is an aunt, Xie Nu and Xie Ji are also relatives, and they are close brothers and sisters... Although they are not as sharp as Xie Moru, Xie Moyou still understands the truth of not getting close.

With an inaudible sigh, Xie Moyou quietly buried this matter in his heart and never told anyone about it.

Xie Moyou had something on his mind, so he paid special attention to the three old ladies' house, but fortunately, he didn't hear anything.Just as Xie Moyou let go of half of his heart, Xie Yan came to the door.Xie Yan was still crying, Mrs. Xie hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" and ordered the maid to bring a chair for Xie Yan to sit on.

Xie Moru and Xie Moyou were talking with Mrs. Xie, seeing this situation, the two got up to avoid it, but Xie Yan wiped away her tears, sat in the chair and said, "You all sit down and judge me, Am I being kind, Xingyun is a girl, she hasn’t reached the point yet, what kind of female household should I set up? Is it to set up a female household? Shouldn’t I discuss it with my mother? Well, this imperial capital can't even tolerate her. I just tried to persuade her a few words, and then I gave her a choke. I did this for nothing. In her heart, where is there such a cousin? It's my mother. As an aunt, tell her to be on guard like a thief."

Xie Moru gave a wink, Su Lan hurriedly led the maid in the house down.Mrs. Xie's face darkened, and she said Xie Yan, "Ayan, what are you talking about for no reason, why are you complaining about Miss Jiang? Did she offend you?"

Xie Yan said, "It's not about her wanting to set up a female household. The purpose of establishing a female household is to give Uncle a adoptive heir. If she is like this, it's better to adopt directly, so as to save the need to set up a female household. It's neither fish nor fowl."

Mrs. Xie's face darkened, her face was stern, and she said in a deep voice, "Ayan, your surname is Xie, and you married into the Ning family. There is an old saying that the water thrown by a married girl is not a matter of her mother's family, nor is it her fault. You are a married girl who should take care of it. Besides, this is not your natal family's business. Miss Jiang is the flesh and blood of the Song family. What happens to Miss Jiang is up to Miss Jiang. What are you going to do? The son was adopted by your uncle, have you discussed it with your in-laws? You really got caught up in the lard, and in the past, you still understand how to say such stupid things and do such stupid things!"

Xie Yan was wronged, "Where is my brother Bao, the eldest brother and the second brother have heirs, and the nephews are all outstanding, stable and reliable..."

Before Xie Yan finished speaking, Mrs. Xie picked up the teacup in her hand and threw it at Xie Yan's feet. With a bang, the teacup fell into pieces, and the broken porcelain splashed everywhere, and half of the tea also wet Xie Yan's skirt .Xie Yan had never seen Mrs. Xie so furious, and she immediately turned pale with fright.Mrs. Xie was so angry that she shouted angrily, "You are so courageous! Come on! Go and invite the third grandpa here! Let me tell you that there is a lawless person in our family, and he is about to commit a crime of destroying the family." !"

Xie Yan was about to argue, Mrs. Xie had already called her maid to come in, "Put her in the compartment for me, watch!"

The maid has experience, Xie Yan opened her mouth, Suxin blocked her mouth with a handkerchief, and Su Rui dragged Xie Yan to the cubicle.Mrs. Xie was not feeling well, her face was livid with anger, and she was trembling all over.

Xie Moyou's face turned pale, and he whispered, "Grandmother, don't be angry."

Xie Moru ordered Su Lan, "Bring a cup of hot wine for the wife."

Mrs. Xie drank a cup of hot rice wine, and felt better. She held Xie Moru's hand and said, "Idiot! Idiot! The family is unlucky!" Xie Moru hit the mark.

Xie Moru didn't even move a single eyebrow, and said, "There is still a turning point."

Mrs. Xie let out a long sigh, "I'm afraid I've offended Miss Jiang." Sanfang really wanted to seize the Song family's property!This kind of thing is not uncommon, but why don't you take a long look at Jiang Xingyun's temperament, really turned your face, Jiang Xingyun certainly won't get any benefits, Xie's family will become the laughing stock of the imperial capital!Do the people in the clan still want to live!

Mrs. Xie's handling is quite neat. Xie Yan is out of touch. She is usually mean and snobbish. In the Song family, Mrs. Xie first asked what the third grandfather meant. The third grandfather was still in a daze, and the old man didn't know what was going on.Mrs. Xie said it with restraint, and the third grandfather was also very angry. The daughter was thinking about adopting his grandson, and the third grandfather was so angry that he scolded the daughter, "If you want to adopt your own son, don't come up with bad ideas. You only have three nephews in total." Son, which one do you want to adopt? You are so brave, our Xie family can't afford to lose this person! What a bitch!"

After scolding for a while, the third grandfather spoke kind words to Mrs. Xie again, "Niece and daughter-in-law, thanks to your understanding, you didn't make this girl stupid." Jiang Xingyun explained there, and Mrs. Xie said, "Third Uncle, if you let Ayan go out and talk nonsense again, others will say that Third Uncle wants to seize the Jiang family's property. Once this reputation comes out, how can Brother Nu be an official in the court in the future? Do the nephews and grandchildren still want to take the imperial examination?"

At this age, the third grandpa valued his son the most, and said quickly, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, don't worry, I will make your aunt explain to Xing Yun that our family is no longer that kind of person."

Xie Moru interjected and said, "It's best for you to come forward in person and immediately let Miss Jiang take care of the women's household affairs, and let the matter rest in peace."

The third grandpa looked at Xie Moru, and Xie Moru said, "I don't think the weather is very good today. I think it will snow tonight. Princess Wenkang's plum appreciation banquet will always be held after the snow. The princess will definitely invite Miss Jiang to go."

The third grandpa's expression froze, thinking that His Majesty had rewarded Jiang Xingyun with winter tea, if Jiang Xingyun was favored by the royal family again... Glancing at his daughter, he felt that she was really here to collect debts.

That night, it really snowed profusely and profusely. There is no need to say more, Mrs. Xie has asked people to go over to inquire quietly. Hearing that Jiang Xingyun received a post about the plum feast at the Princess Wenkang's residence, he immediately sent someone to send it to the third grandfather in the name of Xie Shangshu. He bought a vase of plum blossoms and went to enjoy them. In the afternoon, the third grandpa personally took the eldest son to the imperial capital to complete the matter of Jiang Xingyun's establishment of a female household.

On the second day, Jiang Xingyun went to Princess Wenkang to enjoy the plum feast, and it really shined. Princess Wenkang even asked Jiang Xingyun to break a plum blossom from the Wanmei Garden.

Feeling at ease, Mrs. Xie smiled and said to the two sisters, "Go, they are the same age, there is nothing to do in winter, so I can have fun for a day."

Jiang Xingyun was still wearing a fiery red cloak. While entertaining friends, he did not forget to thank Xie Moru privately. Xie Moru said, "It's just a little effort." Xie Yan is not Jiang Xingyun's opponent. Let the Xie family think that she is easy to bully, so they just ask her to say a few words in front of Mrs. Xie, to grasp the rhythm of this matter.

Jiang Xingyun smiled, "The Ning family actually sent someone to give me a generous gift."

Xie Moru sighed, "Mrs. Yan Gu is so scheming." Her natal family would not tell her about such a shameful thing, if she hadn't said it herself, I really don't know who would be so against her, it would be so embarrassing. The matter was revealed to the Ning family.Xie Moru said, "She offended you just now, but it's not easy for you to take the blame."

"I ordered someone to send the things to my aunt. I thought, it must be the person who provoked Cousin Yan. Seeing that the provocation failed, he framed Cousin Yan. I told my aunt so that she would naturally believe me. Let me invite you today. Huan and the others came to admire the plum blossoms, but Aqi didn't come, and I heard that the second wife was ill, and she wanted to take care of the sick." The temptation is as simple as that.

The meaning of Jiang Xingyun's words is self-evident.It seems that among the people who provoke Xie Yan, the second wife must be one of them.Xie Moru said pertinently, "So, never ask a fool to be a gunman."

"I said yes." Jiang Xingyun smiled with a smile on his face.

Xie Moru looked at Jiang Xingyun's beauty and sighed again, "A beauty is like a flower in front of my eyes."
