292. The Imperial City of the twenty-seventh

Xie Moru got a bottle of cotton and loved it very much. He ate rice with his mother at night, and he ate noodles, but he stopped eating mutton noodles at night. The mother and daughter ate vegetarian noodle soup. The wind was cool in the morning and night in early autumn, and eating noodle soup was warm. I wonder if it was Xie Moru's illusion, but Xie Moru always felt that his mother's eyes were soft.
At the house of the three old ladies, the female family members all served the meal with the three old ladies. Today, Xie Yan returned to her parents' home and stayed there. With Xie Yan here, the supper was even more sumptuous.
Before dinner time, the women sat in the same place and talked. Xie Yan saw Jiang Xingyun and said, "Xingyun just came. You don't know many things, why should I give Mo Ru a birthday gift? Who are you, who is she? She is a little girl, but what do you know at least."
Jiang Xingyun asked casually, "Where is there any place that Miss Xie is ungrateful?"
Xie Yan curled her mouth, "Last time I came to our house, but your aunt said a few words to her when she was sick, and she sued her uncle and asked your sister-in-law to apologize to her a little girl! There are so many things that she has ungrateful things!"
Li said with a little embarrassed look and hurriedly, "Sister, you misunderstood this, it's nothing." Although sister-in-law should give in to her sister-in-law, Xiu came here to be a little older than her sister-in-law, but in the past life, she had no virtue to accumulate in her previous life!
Xie Yan robbed the white man, "It's not a misunderstanding. Xingyun didn't know what was clear. Tell her and let her know her."
It was dark in autumn, and the lights were lit in the house. Jiang Xingyun's ears were waving beads and pendants shook under the lights. She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Yan with unknown meaning, "My cousin is my aunt's daughter. Since such a thing is happening, how can my cousin sit here? She can't go over and teach her a lesson and let her know what's wrong!"
Xie Yan was speechless and then said vaguely, "I have to say something when I see her one day."
Jiang Xingyun was puzzled and said, "Is my mother wronged? Could it be that my cousin still has to choose a life to seek justice for her? It seems that I misread my cousin."
Xie Yanru was sitting on pins and needles, and the three old ladies couldn't bear to their daughter Ruo like this, and said smoothly, "I heard from your cousin that she can have a certainty in her mouth, but there is nothing to do. But Moru has a bad temper, but Mowu is good-behaved, and your sisters all like her."
Xie Pei smiled, "I told my aunt like this too. Mo You is the most kind. We often play together."
Jiang Xingyun smiled slightly, "That's all, my cousin shouldn't always scare me. If someone complains to my aunt, it doesn't matter if my cousin is. I will never stand by and watch as my niece!"
After hearing what Jiang Xingyun said, the third old lady was quite relieved. Xie Yan was really unjustly killed. She, her and her biological mother suffered grievances, so how could she not care about it?
Let Jiang Xingyun say this, the next day when Xie Yan went to the Shangshu Mansion to visit Mrs. Xie, he saw Xie Moru, "It's not me who said Moru. Last time I heard that you went to investigate the old lady's illness, and I got angry when I said something that didn't suit your heart. I even asked my sister-in-law to come and apologize to you. This is not what you should do. The little girl's house, no matter how bad her temper is, she has to take it away."
Xie Moru looked at Xie Yan and said lightly, "I dare not admit what my cousin said. I have always followed my grandmother's teachings, but my grandmother never said anything wrong with me. Does my cousin say what my grandmother said means that my grandmother didn't teach me well?"
Without waiting for Xie Yan to argue, Xie Moru said, "I am a junior, how can I be serious with my cousin's wife? Grandma, why would you tell me about my cousin's wife, so as not to misunderstand our Shangshu Mansion. Otherwise, if the cousin's wife says this, those who don't know will think that our Shangshu Mansion has no elders in our eyes." She is different from Xie Yan, and Xie Yan is not even a fool. If she reasoned with such people, she may not understand it, so she would just let Mrs. Xie crush her with her identity quickly.
As soon as Xie Yan spoke, Mrs. Xie's face had already sunk and she said to Xie Yan directly, "Ayan, you go back to your parents' home and you know how to see me, my old sister-in-law. If it's something else, please ask your father, your brother, what's going on? I'll take Moru to see your mother's illness. Moru is kind to greet her. Your mother scolds her with her nose, not her face, and you've pinched Moru's wrists. This is what I saw. Your sister-in-law came over to see Moru's injury better? Could it be that she hurt someone, so shouldn't she come and see? If I have a false statement, it's thundering!"
Mrs. Xie said such heavy words, but this was the first time Xie Yan saw it. Her face turned red with shame. She hurriedly said, "Look at what my sister-in-law said, I took it seriously after hearing what the silly woman said. I just thought, Mo Ru was not like this."
Mrs. Xie was careless, "Moru was taught by me. I watched her grow up. Who said she was bad? That is, I am a grandmother. You are also an adult. Don't listen to the wind and rain like this in the future. Even if you hear an old lady say these gossips, you should deal with it immediately. How can you take it seriously? You still come here to be wronged! Moru has suffered too much from your mother and daughter!"
Mrs. Xie directly taught Xie Yan a lesson and sent her away without leaving her food.
When Xie Yan left, Mrs. Xie said to Xie Moyou, "If Ayan said a word like this, others would not say what your elder sister is, but only what the girls in the Shangshu Mansion are? This is to prosper and lose both one's loss."
Xie Moyou received teachings.
Mrs. Xie breathed a little relieved and sent her servant to the third old lady to send a post. She would go over and talk tomorrow.
Xie Moru returned to the Cuckoo Garden for rice at noon for lunch. The autumn wind became cooler, and a cup of eight-treasure tofu tasted great. Xie Moru used half a bowl of rice.
After lunch, Fang went to serve Dujuanshu. Xie Moru went back to the house to rest. He took the "Xining Record" on the desk and turned two pages. He couldn't help but feel moved. She always felt that what Xie Yan said today was suspicious, not the content of the words. Such words were just Xie Yan would say, but for a long time, how could Xie Yan suddenly mention the old thing? It's really the old thing, several months have passed. Even if Xie Yan was angry, he should have come here early. Isn't it suspicious to talk about this matter suddenly?
Who stimulated Xie Yan with this incident?
The Ning family would not be so stupid. If someone urged Xie Yan to do it, he would not have waited for a while. Besides, if it were done by the master of the third old lady's mansion, Mrs. Xie would not suffer a loss. Xie Yan was not smart. Who really provoked her? I guess she had already told the man, but today she could only use an old lady to smooth things over with her.
As he stroked the old pages in his hand, Xie Moru said, "Madam, send me someone to call Li Qing's wife."
Li Qing's wife came very quickly. The Dujuan Garden was much quieter than other courtyards. As soon as she came in, she was breathing and did not dare to look around. She fully demonstrated the good quality of the wife in charge of the Shangshu Mansion.
Xie Moru has moved to the Qiuju courtyard, where chrysanthemums are planted everywhere. There are already some early chrysanthemums bloom one after another. The fragrance of flowers mixed with the autumn wind, which seems to bring some coldness. When he entered the house, Xie Moru said, "Sister-in-law Li."
Wisteria brought the embroidery stool, Li Qing's wife thanked her and sat down, and sat half her butt. Xie Moru said, "This time I asked Sister Li to come over. Is it because I have something to ask Sister Li. Does Sister Li know about Miss Jiang from the third old lady?"
Li Qing's wife originally hit Xie Moru when he was preparing Xie Bai's birthday party. After that, she knew that the eldest girl was awesome. Unexpectedly, there were not many days before, and Aunt Ning, who was originally in full swing, was banned. Instead, it was the eldest girl. She looked more and more in front of her wife, and she faintly covered the second girl. Li Qing's wife was a wise and quick-witted person. This time Xie Moru celebrated her birthday, and no one in charge of the wife did not respond. She came over and kowtowed first. Today Xie Moru had something to ask her. Li Qing's wife immediately said, "There are also old sisters I have known before in the great master's house over there. I have heard of some."
Xie Moru didn't say anything, and Li Qing's wife continued, "I heard that Miss Jiang is a lady from the general's house, but she is amazing. When Miss Jiang came, she brought several cars of things. Originally, the old lady said that she would put Curry for her. Miss Jiang didn't see anything, so she went directly to ask someone to put Curry, but she insisted on someone to pull her to the small courtyard where she lives. Besides, Mr. Jie was the one who was the one who liked the other the most. She always went to eat at the same table with the third lady in the morning and night. Miss Jiang was not very happy and said that
It’s okay to have a dear brother and sister. She is a cousin, and it’s hard to eat on the same table as the young master at home. Later, as long as Uncle Jie is at the third old lady, Miss Jiang will use it in her yard. However, the third old master said that Miss Jiang knows the rules. Now all female relatives follow the third old lady, and men follow the third old lady. Miss Jiang also said that she wanted to buy a house and live there. The third old lady refused again, and Miss Jiang would not mention it. Also, Miss Jiang seemed to be able to punch and kick. I don’t know much about the others. Otherwise, I will go and inquire about it again?"
"No need." She was not trying to inquire about Jiang Xingyun's secret matters, but she wanted to understand Jiang Xingyun's behavior. It was enough to have these two or three things. Xie Moru said, "I'm sorry, my sister-in-law came here."
Li Qing's wife laughed, "If you have something to do, just give orders. If you can run errands for the big girl, it is also the big girl who sees me still succeed."
Xie Moru signaled, "Madam, please invite Sister Li to have a cup of tea before leaving."
Li Qing's wife got up and went to Mama Zhang's house for tea.
Xie Moru leaned on the couch, and the autumn sun was pouring in at noon, reflecting the whiteness and softness of Xie Moru's skin milk. Xie Moru looked at the fallen leaves outside the window, thinking that even she should not have intentions. In this way, people who first preserve their wealth and then their dignity would not use stupid people like Xie Yan even if they use people.
When Jiang Xingyun was having lunch, he saw Xie Yan also present. After thinking about it for a moment, he was speechless. Could it be that this cousin really went to provoke Xie Moru?
Jiang Xingyun didn't know what to say? Even though she had only met Miss Xie from the Shangshu Mansion twice, she knew that it was not easy to mess with. As soon as she came, she heard about the reputation of Ning Xian's concubine in Shangshu Mansion. She was a great person who was not in the world. Jiang Xingyun didn't feel very happy at that time. It was not that she had any dissatisfaction with Ning's family, but that Jiang Xingyun was different from those in the third old lady's house. She was the only daughter in the family, and her parents were particularly attentive in teaching her. She knew some old stories about Princess Ningping. Fang's declining was due to the political situation. The Shangshu Mansion was snobbish and had the ability to kill Fang, and then promote the virtuous and good.
When she went to the Shangshu Mansion, she looked at Xie Moru a few more times. Jiang Xingyun's sense of Xie Moru was at least better than Xie Moyou. Such character was at least worthy of the four ladies. Later, when she was doing a ritual for her father, she met Xie Bo and Xie Moru's uncle and nephew on the road. Jiang Xingyun was a little surprised. If Xie Moru was as unattractive as the master of the mansion said, how could Xie Tanhua, who was the consort of the son-in-law, take her to the streets in person? After arranging the matter of her parents, Jiang Xingyun was interested in asking for some questions. Without asking, he was shocked when he asked for it. The three old ladies, Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were not against others, and they had the face to tell them about their long-term shortcomings at home. Sure enough, there was not much time before he heard that Ning Xian's concubine was banned, and another good concubine was added to the Shangshu Mansion.
Now, she just gave Xie Moru a birthday gift, so Xie Yan couldn't see it and wanted to guide her in doing things. She knew that Xie Yan was married to the Ning family, but the family hadn't understood it yet. That girl Xie was no longer the same as Ahmeng in the past!
Xie Yan returned to the mansion before noon. With such a close relationship, if Xie Yan had not said anything inappropriate or did something inappropriate, the Shangshu Mansion would have kept food. Jiang Xingyun hoped that Xie Yan would not go to the Shangshu Mansion to talk nonsense because of her yesterday's words.
The next day, Mrs. Xie went to the third old master's mansion again.
Xie Moru and Xie Moyou followed Mr. Ji to study in Huazhangtang as usual. Near noon, the maid Suxin from Songbaiyuan came to report the matter quickly, "Grand girl, second girl, the Empress of His Majesty in the palace was rewarded by the eunuch, and the wife went to the third old lady's house." The aunt was not a serious master, and now both aunts were living in seclusion, so they had to report to the two girls.
Xie Moyou hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite your wife back."
Su Xin was breathing unevenly and said, "I have sent someone to invite you."
Xie Mo said worriedly, what else is there? Su Xin finally breathed and said, "The eunuch said there is something to give to the wife of Wei."
Lady of Wei?
Xie Moyou's first reaction was, who is this?
Xie Moru didn't know either, but when Su Xin looked at him, she knew it immediately, so she said to Mr. Ji, "Sir, if you have something to do at home, my wife is not at home, I will go over and take a look."
Mr. Ji laughed, "Go."
Xie Moru asked Wutong to keep his pen and ink and took Xie Moyou and Su Xin to Songbaiyuan. Xie Zhong's wife was already on the marquis. When she saw the two sisters coming, she immediately replied, "My servant is talking to the eunuch. I have already invited the wife back to the house. Grandma, the big girl, look..." Mrs. Wei, if the eunuch had not mentioned this name, Xie Zhong's wife would not remember it.
Xie Moru sat down and said lightly, "No hurry, grandmother will be back in a while." Xie Mo was very shocked. Didn't his mother say that the Fang family was exterminated? Why did Fang's family actually have the title of the wife of the country?
Xie Zhong’s wife was just not interested. Seeing Xie Moru say this, she felt relieved. She took out a gift list from her sleeve and walked up to the front two steps, "Grand girl, this is the reward list I have prepared." She said and handed it over.
Su Xin took it and presented it to Xie Moru. Xie Moru glanced at it, handed it to Xie Moyou, and said to Xie Zhong's wife, "Sister-in-law, it's very good, just prepare according to this." The eunuch was not in vain.
Xie Zhong's wife sat next to the embroidered bench.
Su E brought the tea and rewarded the great things in the palace. The grandmother was not here. Xie Mo was worried that the lower part of the lungs was cut, and she lived like a year, so she could not eat tea. She looked at Xie Moru. Xie Moru was still the same old look that had not changed for eight hundred years, and was leisurely tasting the fragrant tea. Seeing Xie Moru like this, Xie Moyou simply gave up and started eating tea.
Mrs. Xie came back very quickly. It was common for the imperial concubine to reward her. Today, His Majesty gave her a gift. Could it be... The third old lady was anxious first and said, "Go home quickly to see if there is anything wrong."
Mrs. Xie was still stable. Anyway, she finished what she should say, and then said, "I just hope that I would advise Sister Yan to listen to it. It would be worth my experience."
Xie Yan's patience and character are the same as his mother, and she kept saying, "I remember everything, sister-in-law, go quickly, don't ask the eunuch to wait for a long time." Isn't it just to hold Xie Moru in the future... Although this kind of thing is disgusting, the Xie family all counts on the Shangshu Mansion. Even though Xie Yan inherits the snobbishness of his own mother, the more such a person, the more likely he is to be convinced.
Only then did Mrs. Xie quit the three old ladies and daughter and hurried home.
The eunuch who came here to reward this time was not the eunuch that Concubine Xie often condemned, but the eunuch Yu Fen, who was beside the emperor. The last time he gave the marriage order was the one who came from the father-in-law.
Mrs. Xie went home and packed up a few times, and then ordered someone to invite Eunuch Yu to come in. Mrs. Xie was the second-rank imperial edict, and Eunuch Yu bowed and said, "Your Majesty has something to give to the wife of Wei."
This sentence made Mrs. Xie feel worried. Mrs. Xie thought she was alive at this age, having experienced many ups and downs, but she had no choice but to be helpless with the Dujuanyuan. Fortunately, she was prepared. Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Moru, and Xie Moru said, "My mother lives in a quiet place and doesn't like to see outsiders. If Your Majesty gives me something, I will receive it on my behalf."
The position of being able to survive after leaving the palace to pass the imperial eunuch is not an ordinary person among eunuchs. He couldn't help but look at Xie Moru. It turned out that this was the daughter of the wife of Wei. Yu's first reaction was that the child looked different from that of the wife of Wei. So Xie Moru said, "Of course, if my father-in-law insisted on meeting my mother, I would go there now, but I didn't know if my mother was willing to go out to meet her."
Eunuch Yu did not insist on Fang's orders, but said, "Your Majesty is very concerned about the wife of Wei."
Xie Moru immediately understood what she had to say so that the father-in-law could go back and hand in the office. Xie Moru said in a deep voice, "My mother has been protected by His Majesty for many years. Today, Your Majesty has given me something. I thank you on behalf of my mother. Thank you for remembering your mother for years so that your mother can protect her dignity. Some people regard dignity as dirt, while others regard dignity as life. Your Majesty preserves her dignity, which means she can save her life."
Eunuch Yu couldn't help but look at Xie Moru deeply. He often accompanied the emperor and had seen many people. He remembered more deeply the former Lady of Wei and her mother, Princess Ning Ping, who taught her to answer this little girl? No, you can tell me, but at this age, your expression cannot deceive people. Eunuch Yu sighed inwardly that this terrible bloodline could be continued.
Eunuch Yu said, "The girl looks so much like the eldest princess." Yes, this little girl not only looks different from her mother, but also has a temperament. In fact, based on her conscience, Xie Moru's appearance is not similar to the eldest princess, but when she opened her mouth, her unique calmness and nobleness made Eunuch Yu immediately think of the eldest princess, and Eunuch Yu said this: The girl looks so much like the eldest princess.
Mrs. Xie's face changed drastically, but Xie Moru was not moved at all and smiled slightly, "My father-in-law is the first person to say this to me. I think there will be a second and third person in the future. Countless of the intention, there will always be someone who will say it before you say it.
When I was in a state of sternness, I bowed my hand and said, "I'm talking too much."
Xie Moru will give thanks to his mother.
Then, Eunuch Yu also gave Concubine Xie a reward. Mrs. Xie gave Eunuch Yu a plate of small toys, and the eunuch who came with Eunuch Yu took it away. Eunuch Yu thanked her and said goodbye.
As soon as Eunuch Yu left, Mrs. Xie scolded Xie Moru lightly, "You are too brave."
Xie Moru just laughed and didn't say much.
Mrs. Xie was full of awe of the royal family, but when she thought of Xie Moru's appearance in front of her father-in-law, she couldn't get angry, she still said, "Be careful." Xie Moru's temperament is indeed not easy to please the elders. She is smart and strong, and will unconsciously keep a distance.
Xie Moru said, "Don't worry, grandma."
Mrs. Xie sighed, "How can I feel at ease?" The mother and daughter of Dujuanyuan are not afraid of life and death because their life and death are hung in the hands of the emperor. Therefore, Xie Moru talks and laughs calmly at the emperor's eunuch, which is called courage. How can there be no fear in the Xie clan?
Xie Moru bowed and returned to the Dujuanyuan.
Madam Zhang was quite surprised to see her eldest girl bringing back many rewards. Xie Moru just said, "It's just sorting it out." The emperor's gifts were nothing more than gold, jade, jewelry, silk, satin, etc. She never lacked these things. What the Cuckoo Garden lacked was the emperor's statement. Now the emperor has expressed his opinion and his purpose has been achieved. As for these items, it doesn't matter.
After changing clothes, Xie Moru went over to have dinner with his mother, and did not mention a word about the emperor's reward.
I flipped through a few pages of books at noon to pass the time, and in the afternoon I went to Songbaiyuan to learn how to do housework with Mrs. Xie. Now the most important thing in the family is the matter of Lord Xie Bai. It is said that Lord Shang, but in fact it is just like the one who is married. The princess has his own princess's house, so there is no need to prepare the Xie family for everything. The Xie family just needs to prepare the first courtyard, but the Xie family also needs to prepare a first courtyard, or Xie Bai brings the princess to live there for a while, or as Xie Bai's residence after marriage. Of course, no matter how big the courtyard is, it is probably bigger than the Dujuan Courtyard. Mrs. Xie opened the two courtyards to the west of the main courtyard, and now it has been cleaned up. All the furniture should be decorated in it.
Today, Mrs. Xie took her two granddaughters to go around. Xie Moyou saw the rare and rare grass in the yard and the indoor objects were all exquisite, and couldn't help but say, "The gods can live in this yard, too."
Mrs. Xie smiled and said that although Princess Yian was just His Majesty's cousin, she had already been named the princess and her identity was placed here. What's more, Princess Yian's biological mother, Princess Hu, is the niece of Empress Dowager Hu's legitimate relative, and Princess Yian is quite favored in the palace, so the Xie family should prepare with care.
Mrs. Xie asked, "Why do you think what about this yard?"
Xie Moru said, "Very good." At least the yard is full of sincerity in the Xie family.
Mrs. Xie shook her head and smiled slightly, "Your habit of cherishing words is a bit like Lord Jinsu."
Xie Moru didn't know much about things outside, but Xie Moyou didn't know anything. Xie Moyou spoke quickly and asked, "Grandma, isn't this Lord Su talking less like the elder sister?"
Mrs. Xie laughed, "Master Su is taciturn by nature. I heard that I can't say three words a day at home. Madam Su was upset that he didn't say anything, so she jokingly called it a word of a daughter. People in the market are so arrogant, so Master Su has this name."
Looking at the new courtyard prepared for the princess, Mrs. Xie was in a good mood and picked up several problems to her wife to record them. While telling the interesting stories of the imperial capital to her granddaughter, "The names of the princes of the Su family are interesting. Lord Su has a single name with the word "mo", and it turns out that the three princes of the Su family are Yan, Yu, and Yun. The Su Caizi, who wrote the script, is his third son, Su Yun."
