Xie Su's eyes were filled with water: "Thank you Thirteenth Aunt, Su knows."
Her father was not a good person, and neither was her stepmother. Those who were later born by stepmothers naturally turned towards their mother, hated her, and bullied her in every possible way.
If her family had protected her, she would have died long ago.
She had an unfortunate life, but with the blessing of her family, she finally grew up well and was about to get married.
"And me." Xie Zhu handed over her makeup gift. The box contained a filigree gold bracelet with exquisite lotus patterns on it, which was expensive. She also gave her a hundred taels of silver notes.
"I don't have much money, but I can't compare with my little aunt."
Xie Zhu is the only legitimate daughter of the younger generation. She gets monthly money from her family and the government, and occasionally from her father. Mrs.
Didn't save much.
"Thank you, Miss. This is already very valuable. I don't dare to ask for any more." Xie Su touched the bracelet. It was probably the most expensive piece of jewelry in her hand.
"When I get married in Jiangzhou, I don't know when I will come back. When you two get married, I'm afraid I won't be able to come and add to your dowry."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "If you are willing, if someone drops by the Imperial City, you can ask someone to bring some fresh things from Jiangzhou. I heard that the academies in Jiangzhou are good and the flowers bloom poetically. It's a pity that we are far away.
The Imperial City cannot be seen."
"As for us, you don't have to worry about these trivial things. We each have our own journeys in life. We may not be able to move forward together, but it is enough to know that the other person is living well."
"Try to live your life well."
Xie Su nodded: "I will."
Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu sat for a while, and then a girl from the clan came over to add makeup to Xie Su. The two sat for a while again before saying goodbye and going back to the main house.
On the way, Xie Zhu was still a little angry: "Xie Su's father is nothing. The little things that were given to him in the early years have long since been lost. Over the years, he still relies on the monthly money received from his children."
"No wonder Xie Su is silently planning to marry far away. With a father like this and younger brothers and sisters who are just around the corner, if she were to marry close by, wouldn't she come here every two days to catch the autumn breeze?"
Xie Yixiao remembered something: "Asu's mother married before and didn't leave anything behind? Why haven't you heard about this?"
Xie Zhu said: "It should be gone. Her mother was not in good health after giving birth to her, and it took a lot of money to treat her illness. There are only one or two things left to think about."
"But don't worry, little aunt, Ah Su is not really stupid. If those people took her mother's things and didn't give them to her now, she would have asked her aunt to make the decision."
Xie Yixiao thought about it, so he stopped mentioning it.
On the second day, the Chen family came over to welcome the bride. Mrs. Xie led Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu to watch the bride come out of the palace, to support Xie Su and give the Chen family face.
Chen Feng picked up the bride, said goodbye to the Xie family, and then headed south back to Jiangzhou. The journey was so long that he didn't even know when he returned home.
When the bride left the house, Xie Guang and Qian were crying very sadly. Those who didn't know the inside story thought they couldn't bear to leave the girl. Those who knew couldn't help but sigh shamelessly. This was because they didn't keep the betrothal gift and dowry they missed.
.
Mrs. Xie didn't show it on her face, but she made a note of them in her mind, thinking that one month after the couple got married, they would be asked to clean the alleys as a family for three months, so that they would not worry about things they shouldn't.
But these are all things for later.
After the bride went out, the excitement in the yard stopped. Mrs. Xie wanted to go back, while Xie Zhu and Xie Yixiao went to the clan sisters' house to play leaf cards, planning to go back in the afternoon.
A group of girls surrounded the two of them, and they poured out compliments as if they were free. Xie Zhu looked complacent and was used to it, while Xie Yi smiled calmly and accepted it quickly.
The difference between direct concubines and concubines. If they are sisters in the same family and are direct descendants and concubines, there is certainly a difference, but it is not too far apart. After all, they are the same father. But once they are descended and become side branches, what is the difference?
It's really big.
The parents of the girls from the direct branch are both noble, rich in wealth, well-dressed and well-fed, and surrounded by servants. The parents of the side branch are much inferior in terms of background. If they continue to be ineffective for several generations, they will eat up all their old age and rely on the family to survive.
Just passable.
There are no maids to serve him.
Some families are more miserable, and even the maidservants serving beside their legitimate daughters are not as good as them.
Just like the Ming Xin Ming Jing beside Xie Yixiao, even though she may be a maid, but except for some precious food, the master will never let them eat porridge when eating. The monthly income is rich, and the master also rewards many. Over the years, the family's wealth has also declined.
Quite a few.
Xie Yixiao played with them for a while and felt a little tired, so he planned to go back.
The side yard behind Xie's house is a U-shaped structure, with a fairly spacious road in the middle and yards on both sides. The front of the yard is facing the road, and there are some scattered in the back. The yards facing the road are close together, and they are separated by
Along the same wall, there is an entrance courtyard.
A group of people were walking on the road, and when they passed a yard, they heard someone arguing, and it was quite loud. Xie Yixiao raised his eyes and glanced at the yard.
Mingxin said with some disgust: "That's from Xie Dan's family."
"Xie Dan?" Xie Yixiao couldn't remember who it was for a moment, but it was definitely not a good thing to make Ming Xin show such an expression.
"Eighth Master's biological father." Ming Xin pursed her lips and gloated a little, "Their family has been very troubled recently. I heard that this master was having an affair with a widow. I don't know if it's true or not."
Xie Yixiao remembered it. No wonder she felt it sounded familiar. It turned out to be Xie Yiling's biological father.
In the past, Xie Dan had a girl he liked, but he had no choice but to follow his parents' arrangements and marry Xie Yiling's mother, and secretly flirted with the girl. Later, when Xie Yiling's mother died, he hurriedly married her.
She gave birth to a son soon after, and was afraid that Xie Yiling would steal the family property from his beloved son. He wished Xie Yiling would die and abused him. Later, the Xie family found out, and adopted Xie Yiling as his heir to Xie Qingshan. Xie Dan also agreed.
.
In today's world, the system of inheritance and distribution is based on the eldest son. His eldest son can be given away to others. It shows how shameless his sweetheart is, and now he is involved with the widow?
Xie Yi smiled and narrowed his eyes, his eyes were a little cold. He could torment him like this without anyone else needing to retaliate. He could even play to death himself.
However, he can do whatever he wants, but he must not go to Xie Yiling. Otherwise, old and new grudges will have to be settled together.
As soon as she returned to Xie's house, she was told by the gatekeeper that Master Rong Jiu was here?
"Ninth Young Master is here?" She was pleasantly surprised, "When did he come here?"
"Reporting to Miss Thirteen, Mr. Rong Jiu has just arrived and paid a visit to the old man. He should be having tea with the old man in Tangyuan right now."
Xie Yixiao lifted up her skirt and walked towards Tangyuan.
