Chapter 012: Heir
Mother Li was sitting on the couch in front of the kang, and Xu Xu was talking to Xie Shuning.
Xie Shuning just sat quietly on the edge of the kang and didn't pay much attention to her. However, she was young and had just shown her domineering and domineering side in front of Mother Li. At this moment, Mother Li just assumed that she didn't understand what she said. But even if Xie Shuning
I really don’t understand, so I have to keep saying what she wants to say.
Children of this age love learning from others the most.
First, he doesn’t know what to say and what not to say; second, he tends to talk too much in order to attract the attention of his elders.
Unfortunately, they didn't have much to say, so they liked to repeat what they had heard. It was precisely for this reason that Mother Li took the trouble to chat with Xie Shuning.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside, and there was a rush of chaotic footsteps. Then the curtain was opened, and Xie Yi rushed in. He shouted, "Aman, you are finally awake."
, while taking off his shoes in twos and twos and climbing onto the kang.
"Master, be careful where you step!" Qiangwei shouted and hurried in after her.
Mother Li was startled at first, and then subconsciously glared at Qiangwei.
The Xie family prides themselves on being an aristocratic family, and apart from other things, they have very strict rules. So when Mother Li saw Qiangwei running in shouting like this, she couldn't help but look displeased, and Qiangwei's movements froze.
Qiangwei grew up in the Song family. The Song family treated their people well, and Xie Shuning's uncle himself was not a follower of rules, so Qiangwei and the others were used to it. Now that Mother Li was glaring at her, she instantly felt uncomfortable.
She slowed down her pace, approached slowly, bent down to reposition Xie Yi's carelessly thrown boots, and then said softly: "Master, you just came in from outside, your hands and feet are still cold, they will be cold again later."
Miss." After saying this, he handed the blue stuffed doll he was holding to Xie Shuning.
Xie Yi looked at his hand that was about to reach Xie Shuning's face, pretended to be an adult and sighed, shook his head and said repeatedly: "That's it...that's it..."
The mischievous look made Xie Shuning hold Mengmeng in her arms and smile.
Her Zhener is really like her brother.
Mother Li also stood up from the stool and said with a smile: "I have met the fifth young master. The fifth young master really looks like the sixth master with his eyebrows and phoenix eyes!"
Dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes?
Xie Shuning secretly sneered, but it was a shame that Mother Li could speak out. The servants of the Xie family and their masters all have the same virtues. They wish everyone knew that they were full of poems and books, and they could speak in perfect order. But one or two of them were full of half a bucket of water, and they were all sloshing around.
He uses some awkward words. Xie Yi is only a four-year-old boy, so he can't be worthy of the four words "dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes". What's more, in this season, how can anyone use the words "dragon and phoenix"? Just by virtue of it alone
This sentence means that it is possible to kill Mother Li.
However, she could only bury these words in her heart for the time being.
Xie Yi, on the other hand, only listened to half of what he was told because of his young age. When he heard the words, he raised his voice and said: "Of course I look like my father!"
At this moment, there was another burst of gentle and even footsteps outside.
Everyone followed the sound to take a look, but saw that the curtain had been lifted up at some point, and a short figure stood at the door.
Mother Li was originally standing next to the little boy in front of the kang. When she saw the person coming, he moved in a panic, and the little boy was brought down with a muffled sound. She hurriedly saluted and said: "Fourth Young Master, why are you here?"
Already?"
"I heard that my younger brothers and sisters are here after school, so I came to take a look." The curtain was opened further, and the figure that was not clearly visible gradually became clear. He was a boy with handsome features, about ten years old.
.
Xie Shuning leaned on the satin backrest placed at the head of the kang and looked at the person lightly, her eyes clear and quiet.
She knew who was coming.
After her father disappeared, Mrs. Chen entered the house holding a memorial tablet. After that, she waited for four more years for her father, but still no trace of her father, so she had to make a desperate decision to confirm that her father was really dead. But there were no men in the third room of the Xie family, so it was said that the family was extinct.
The ferocity must not continue like this.
A family with two widows will need a man to support the family sooner or later. So the only way left is adoption.
But because of Xie Yuanmao's incident, the third old lady had a quarrel with the eldest lady. This time, it was impossible to adopt another child from the eldest lady.
What's more, among the grandchildren, the eldest male is not prosperous either.
The second house was withered in the past, but now there are finally more people, and of course they will never give it to the third house. Who knows that the third house is like a curse, and the men are dying one after another. Who is it to be spared?
They all dare not continue to pour muddy water.
Therefore, two years ago, the Chen family could only adopt an orphan whose parents had died from a branch of the Xie family, and named him Xie Chen.
This was the person Li's mother had been chatting with her just now.
Her other brother, Fourth Young Master Xie Chen.
At this moment, Xie Chen, who is nine years old this year, is quietly lowering the curtain and looking at the two brothers and sisters.
"Fourth Young Master, does your wife know that you are here?" Mother Li seemed to be no stranger to Xie Chen. When she saw him coming in, she did not stop him, but said with a slightly strange look on her face.
"I'll take a look and then leave." Xie Chen avoided the important and took the easy and shook his head.
Xie Yi climbed down from the hot bed, stepped on the ground, looked at Xie Chen and asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
Qiangwei hurriedly leaned over and carried him back to the kang, where he sat down and put on his shoes.
Xie Chen took a step back and said, "I am your fourth brother."
The second and third households of the Xie family are not prosperous, so when discussing the order, everyone is ranked in the third row. Therefore, Xie Chen is ranked fourth and Xie Yi is ranked fifth. However, Xie Shuning is already ranked eighth. This generation of the Xie family
There were not many boys, but there were many girls.
Mother Li also followed closely: "Fifth Young Master, this is Fourth Young Master, your brother."
"My uncle said that I am the eldest son of our family. I have no brother, only one sister!" Xie Yi stood in front of the kang with his hands behind his back, "How can you be my fourth brother?"
Without waiting for anyone to speak, he mumbled again: "It's wrong to say it's a cousin. I only have one cousin, but my uncle said that cousin Shu Yan's eyes are blue..."
"Blue?" Mother Li blurted out in surprise when she heard this. After saying this, she felt that she shouldn't be like this and said goodbye.
Xie Shuning was also surprised.
Her aunt was a girl her uncle married outside the customs. She was born differently from the Western Vietnamese. Her hair was as golden as the sun, but her eyes were as clear as the blue lake. But she only heard about this. Her aunt and cousin were in the previous life.
She never saw him until her death.
Mother took them to Beijing to avoid her uncle. His uncle had a bad temper. Mother said that if his uncle found out that his father had a Chen family in the Xie family, he would definitely not let them go north. So she never disobeyed.
My uncle's mother concealed this matter for the first time.
This is, I'm afraid, the wrong thing that can't be made again.
