Chapter 062
The person who asked the question couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard this.
Everyone already knows that Mr. Xie Liu, the third brother of the Xie family, is still alive, but where did the Yanling Song family come from? And he has such a big daughter?
In shock, someone blurted out: "Mrs. Xie Liu is not the daughter of the Chen family? How could she be the Yanling Song family?"
The old lady of the eldest house had a heavy look in her eyes, gently twirled the beads on her wrist, and responded with a smile: "Lao Liu had not yet married when he left home, so Chen's daughter is not his official wife."
After the words fell, people began to talk quietly in twos and threes.
It is true that Xie Yuanmao was not married when he left home, but Mrs. Chen was the niece of the third old lady, and everyone had heard about the fact that she came into the house holding the memorial tablet. However, at this time, the eldest lady said bluntly that Mrs. Chen was not Xie Yuanmao's official wife.
After hearing this, who will not feel doubtful and worried, or feel that there is something very fishy about this matter? But there are some things that, as a bystander, one cannot continue to ask further questions.
The old lady of the house was also happy that they stopped asking questions, so she lowered her head and drank her tea carefully without saying a word.
Xie Zhiruo, the sixth lady of the Xie family sitting next to her, frowned and asked softly to the eldest lady: "Grandma, shouldn't Uncle Six's wife be at home? Mother said..."
"How presumptuous!" Hearing this, the old lady of the long house scolded and interrupted her, "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense."
As she said this, she was already annoyed. Mrs. Jiang was so useless that she even made irresponsible remarks in front of her young daughter, thus ruining the child's education. Fortunately, she had some concerns in her own mind, so she didn't call Mr. Jiang
Xie Zhiruo took her to Yangzhou together. If she was allowed to go, who knows what would happen in the future.
"Sit down obediently. Grandma will talk to you in detail when we get back. Don't make any nonsense now." Seeing Xie Zhiruo's mouth pursed, as if she was aggrieved, the old lady from the Changfang softened her face and said softly.
Xie Zhiruo nodded and sat obediently and stopped talking.
On the other hand, Xie Shuning had already followed the Song family into the back hall of Prince Duan's Mansion when the old lady of the eldest house was angry.
The gold-painted door has a tin ring with an animal face on it.
She held Mrs. Song's hand and looked up at the sky. She saw only the pillars and brackets were decorated with colorful paintings. Once inside, she saw that the window pillars were painted with black oil. Everything she saw was extremely rich and noble. Then she left.
After a while, they finally arrived at the ground. The soft aqua flower curtain hanging on the door was gently lifted up by the maid guarding the door. Xie Shuning held her breath and followed Mrs. Song in. At a glance, she saw the green chiseled floor tiles on the ground, which was dazzling.
When she was dazzled, Mrs. Bai came up to her with a smile, leaned over and gently stroked the hair on her head, saying, "This child is so well-born."
Mrs. Song held Xie Shuning's hand tightly, feeling quite at a loss.
Bai was a smart person, so he saw it immediately, got up and grabbed her hand, saying, "Furou?"
"Sister Bai." Seeing her call her by her given name, Mrs. Song breathed a sigh of relief, "Long time no see."
With a word of "Furou", the slightly awkward atmosphere between the two people immediately disappeared, and greetings became easier.
Xie Shuning followed Madam Song closely, wanting to listen carefully to what the two of them had to say, but she heard Madam Bai ordering someone to take her to the Nuan Pavilion to play with Madam Bai's daughter. She had no choice but to obediently obey, and followed.
The maid in the palace retreated. However, the moment she left, she still heard something with sharp ears.
Bai said, is your brother okay?
After not seeing each other for many years, she exchanged handkerchiefs. At this moment of reunion, she asked about the other person's brother without saying a few words, which showed that this person held great importance in her heart.
Xie Shuning thought of her uncle's handsome face.
It seems that it is not as difficult as they imagined for their mother to ask for help from the Bai family.
After a while, after entering the Nuan Pavilion, Xie Shuning saw a fair and fat little girl who was as round as herself before, lying on the exquisite couch. When someone reported, she sat up and held up her arms.
The couch beneath him narrowed his eyes with laughter and asked loudly: "Who is this?"
The maid serving beside her quickly explained: "She is a young lady from the Xie family."
"Oh?" The little girl's eyes widened and she looked at Xie Shuning, "What's your name? Come up and play together!"
She opened her mouth, and immediately a maid carried Xie Shuning onto the couch and sat beside her.
"My name is Aman." Xie Shuning forced out a smile. The Bai family only has one daughter, named Ji Tongying. She had never interacted with this little princess in her previous life, but she had also heard that she had a bad temper and a violent temper.
.Although the person sitting next to her is still a little girl, she already doesn't know how to face it.
Just as she was thinking about it, Ji Tongying had already moved towards her, "Can you turn over the flower rope?"
Xie Shuning didn't move and let her get closer, "Get better."
Ji Tongying laughed and asked someone to bring out a flower rope dyed in seven colors and play around with her.
The two of them turned over the flower rope, and time flew by. Xie Shuning was pretentious and absent-minded, but Ji Tongying didn't care. Prince Duan had few heirs, the main concubine had nothing to do, and the concubine Bai only had a small county.
The Lord is talking to his son, who is just over one year old this year. His son is still too young. For Ji Tongying, playing with her younger brother is not as enjoyable as being alone. So she is actually very lonely on weekdays. It is easy to see her today.
He met a little girl about his own age, and he immediately pestered her and refused to let go.
When Mrs. Bai said goodbye to Mrs. Song and went to the garden, someone came to take Xie Shuning. Ji Tongying started to hug her and refused to let go, shouting: "She can turn the flower rope better than you, let her keep it."
Play with me and don’t leave!”
Several maids were at their wits end, so they tried hard to talk, but after Xie Shuning wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and promised to come back to play with her tomorrow, they finally agreed to let her go.
After finally returning to Mrs. Song, she immediately noticed the difference in the situation.
Earlier, the British father-in-laws were still looking at the Song family with mocking and doubtful eyes, but now they all have a look of earnestness. It would be unreasonable for people who can be friends with the Bai family not to try to get along with them. Especially Lin.
Yuanzhi's mother, Mrs. Changpinghou, deliberately sat next to the Song family when she sat down.
When the play started on the stage, she pretended to listen, but from time to time Mrs. Song would whisper to her: "The sixth wife is also from Yanling?"
Mrs. Song didn't recognize her, so she said a few words and concentrated on watching the play.
Mrs. Changpinghou quietly looked her up and down, then turned her attention to Xie Shuning.
"Mother." Xie Shuning didn't like her, and seeing her looking at people like this, he couldn't help but feel irritated, so he called Mrs. Song softly and deliberately hid behind her. In this way, Mrs. Song also noticed it, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Chang Ping.
Madam Hou felt a little disgusted, so she protected Xie Shuning more closely and ignored Madam Hou Changping.
After watching a few plays, Bai said he was tired and went back to rest.
Everyone began to say goodbye and leave in twos and threes.
The old lady of the eldest house also smiled and came to say goodbye with Mrs. Song, and got on the carriage to return to Beicheng.
When she got off the carriage at Xie's house, she finally asked Mrs. Song with a smile on her face: "Since you are familiar with the princess, how come you have never mentioned it before?" e = "Pastoral Wedding"]
