Chapter 004 Father II
At that time, my father returned to Kyoto alone, and it took nearly half a year to pick them up. She did not understand the key points in the past because she was young and ignorant. But her mother, who was already in her twenties, did not
Didn't you see anything? During this period, would Grandma and Chen not make any arrangements at all and let them settle in Xie's house? My mother's departure was like breaking into a dragon's den and a tiger's den, with a narrow escape, but my mother seemed to be full of expectations.
She was really upset that her family would accept the three of them well...
She quietly looked at her mother, who was talking to her father in a soft voice, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice that she didn't look like her mother.
If she had a temperament like her mother, she would have died long ago before Lin Yuan could harm her.
While feeling emotional, she suddenly heard her brother Xie Yi whisper, "Aman, who is Zhen'er?"
The little girl was stunned.
Xie Yi, who couldn't talk because her parents were talking, came close to her with her mouth pouted, her eyes as bright as stars, and it took her a long time to look at her before she replied in a difficult voice: "I dreamed of a man who was exactly the same as my brother.
The child will be called Zhen'er."
Xie Yi narrowed his eyes, sat shoulder to shoulder with her, and muttered: "You must be asleep. How can there be anyone who looks exactly like me?"
Xie Shuning nodded blankly.
Suddenly, when her eyes touched the clothes she was wearing, she was stunned again. Looking up along her fleshy hands, she saw snow-white and smooth fur, and the cuffs were decorated with a circle of well-proportioned sizes.
Round pink pearls... white fox fur jacket, inlaid with pink southern pearls...
What a luxury!
Xie Shuning couldn't come to her senses for a while. She remembered all the major events that were about to happen, but she couldn't recall any of these details. Was it her mother's intention to let her enter Xie's house wearing these clothes?
Is it really just that he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear the severe cold in Kyoto, so he gave her a leather jacket like this?
She bit her lip, thinking that if her mother had this intention, she would not be defeated so easily by Chen in the future. It could be seen that this incident was just a coincidence.
Besides, the Song family didn’t have any, but they had plenty of money!
The uncle only has one sister, his mother, so he is willing to spend money on her and love the house as much as he can. She and her brother have good food and clothing. The Xie family prides itself on being an aristocratic family, but several of the children in her uncle's family are wearing
, the objects we use on daily basis are simply not comparable to theirs.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Xie family is unwilling to admit that their mother is a merchant's daughter-in-law, for fear of damaging the Xie family's face, but deep down they are reluctant to part with their mother's generous dowry. Therefore, after the death of her mother, those who were originally
All the dowry that should be left to her brother and her was swallowed up by the Xie family's huge mouth, not even a cent was left to them.
She was greedy for her biological mother's money, but when she got married, she was reluctant to invest even a little bit in her. At that time, the Xie family was prosperous, so how could they lack such a little money? But her sixty-four dowry was just a lot of nothing.
My great-aunt felt sorry for the things on the table, so she added some to them in private to make them look better.
The marriage exchange originally caused the Lin family unspeakable misery. Although she was recorded in the name of the Chen family and was regarded as the legitimate daughter of the third wife, in fact, no one knew that she could only be regarded as a concubine. In addition, the dowry was not generous, so she
After marrying into the Lin family, she was treated coldly by her mother-in-law and disliked by Lin Yuanzhi. Even thinking about it now, the hardships of establishing a foothold feel like walking barefoot in the snow.
On a freezing day, the three of them, mother and son, traveled thousands of miles from the rich and warm Jiangnan to the cold Kyoto, but what waited for them was a heart that was much colder than the weather in Kyoto...
Xie Shuning touched the Nanzhu on her sleeve and tried to recall what happened that winter day.
Her sister Xie Shumin was born in the twelfth lunar month of the following year. It was already the end of midwinter, and if she remembered correctly, it would be the twelfth lunar month in a few days.
This means that during the few months he left them, his father indeed kept the promise he made to his mother.
But after the three of them, mother and son, arrived at Xie's house, his father went to the same place with Mr. Chen and had Xie Shumin. He was able to hold on to Xie Shumin when his mother was away, but why couldn't he hold on when her mother came?
What went wrong?
While his thoughts were flying, the carriage had passed Shouqing Gate leisurely.
Walk along Sanxi Street, turn right at the end of the road, and you will see the iconic bluestone well in Shijing Hutong. Continue driving forward for about three hundred meters, and the Xie family's house will appear in front of you.
But the carriage did not stop after passing the main gate, but drove directly to the corner gate on the west.
Xie Shuning glanced at her father's face, but his expression didn't change at all, which showed that he knew. And her mother always followed her father's lead, so she didn't say anything when she met her father. Naturally, she wouldn't say anything.
The carriage stopped.
Xie Yuanmao got out of the car first, then turned around to help her.
"I won't go down." Xie Shuning stared.
While she was talking, Mrs. Song was already preparing to take Xie Yi out of the carriage, but she grabbed her waist and hugged her. She frowned and said, "Dad once said that when a guest comes to your home, the host should open the front door to greet you.
Yes, why do you want us to go through the corner gate now?"
Her brother Xie Yi walked early but spoke late, but she was just the opposite. She didn't learn to walk until she was one and a half years old, but she could already speak more smoothly than a five or six-year-old child. So at this moment, she said this
Everyone present did not find it strange at all.
But when Xie Yuanmao heard this, he said with a slightly sarcastic expression: "Aman, this will be our home from now on, how can we be a guest..."
Xie Shuning sneered in her heart, but a suspicious look appeared on her face. She stared at him with her clear and bright eyes and said, "Since it's your own home, shouldn't it be better to enter through the front door?"
Xie Yuanmao's eyes flickered and he couldn't answer the question.
The carriage blocked the door. For a while, people inside could not get out, and people outside could not get in. Mrs. Song looked embarrassed, fearing to cause trouble to Xie Yuanmao, who had only recovered his memory and returned to Xie's house half a year ago, and hurriedly bent down
He picked up the plump girl and forced her into Xie Yuanmao's arms outside, "Don't make trouble, Man."
She pursed her lips and looked at Mrs. Song. Her mouth was full of words, but they were all stuck on the tip of her tongue.
In their previous life, they lost momentum from the very beginning.
Grandma asked them to enter through the corner door. What does this mean? But the father did not refute, and the mother obeyed, so from the moment they stepped through the door, they had already lost five points!
Xie Shuning struggled in Xie Yuanmao's arms and shouted, "I want to leave by myself."
Xie Yuanmao probably felt guilty and said angrily: "Okay, Ah Man can go alone." After saying that, he slowly put her on the ground. But before she could take two steps, someone suddenly came to Xie Yuanmao's side.
, without any scruples about her intentions, he said: "Sixth Master, I'm afraid what the Eighth Miss is wearing is inappropriate."
"What's inappropriate?" Xie Yuanmao asked in confusion.
Xie Shuning secretly laughed when she heard this. Her father was used to living a luxurious life in the Song family, so naturally he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with what she was wearing. But the Xie family prided themselves on being clean and they were not a newly rich family, so naturally they couldn't see anything like them.
He looked like he was covered in the smell of copper.
"Sixth Master, the old lady has always been thrifty and does not like luxury." The man did not answer directly, but instead mentioned the old lady who lived in the third room of the Xie family.
Xie Yuanmao's expression changed.
Xie Shuning saw it clearly, stamping her little feet on the spot, narrowing her eyes, holding up her skirt and quickly running towards the main entrance with her two short legs.
