Xu was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Xu was startled by the dejected look on her face in the mirror with dark circles under her eyes. How could she go out to meet people with such an appearance?
Mrs. Xu was cruel and applied a thick layer of powder on her face. She also wore brightly colored dresses to cover up the haggardness caused by being unable to sleep all night.
Xie Ming and his wife were shocked when they saw Mrs. Xu. However, the couple did not say a word.
The naughty Xie Yuanzhou leaned over with a smile: "Grandma tidied up really brightly and energetically today!"
Mrs. Xu loves her naughty and lively grandson the most. Hearing this, she slapped Xie Yuanzhou on the back of the head and said with a smile: "How dare you be so naughty with your grandmother!"
Xie Yuanzhou was so used to being rough that he didn't take it to heart after being slapped, and said happily: "Grandma, today my sister and I are going to Master Yang's place to learn music. Early in the morning, cousin Mingxi sent someone to us
Send a message saying that we have agreed with Master Yang that we will be sent there today."
The gentle and quiet Xie Lanxi's eyes also shone with joy: "Master Yang is the master with the best music in Lianchi Academy. He is also proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics. I am able to worship Master Yang, thanks to my cousin Mingxi."
The youngest, Xie Yuanwei, was only four years old. He looked at his sister and brother eagerly and said with envy: "I want to go too."
Mr. Que immediately smiled and coaxed: "You are still young. It is not too late to start studying at the age of five."
"I will send you to study next year." Xie Ming took over the conversation with a smile: "Dad will make you a wooden horse today, and you can ride it in the yard."
Xie Yuanwei nodded happily.
…
The family was talking and laughing, their faces shining with satisfaction with life at this time and longing for a better future.
When we were in Lin'an in the past, had there ever been such a scene?
This is the Xie Mansion in the capital, the home of Mr. Xie and his son. She shamelessly followed her with her children and grandchildren, but she was still far from establishing a firm foothold.
Mr. Xie didn't want to see her, and was indifferent to his stepson and his family. Xie Jun would only do some superficial things, but in fact he was indifferent.
Princess Yongning only showed up once and never came again. She was indifferent to her serious father-in-law. She, a mother-in-law with a bad name and a bad reputation, even if she was shy, she would be hard to please.
.
No one in the Xie family cared about them at all. No one took them to heart.
Only Xie Mingxi showed kindness to them from the beginning and took care of them everywhere...
Xu's heart was full of mixed feelings and she was speechless for a long time.
"Mom, why haven't you spoken?"
Xie Ming is cowardly and honest, neither talented nor smart, but he is most filial. Seeing that his own mother had lost her soul early in the morning, he suddenly felt nervous: "Is it because you are not feeling well?"
Mrs. Que also had a face full of concern: "If mother is unwell, we must call a doctor immediately."
Xie Yuanzhou immediately said: "Grandma, I won't go to school. I will stay with you at home today."
The corners of Xu's eyes were sore, and waves of warmth surged in her heart. Her swaying mind finally settled down: "I'm fine. You don't have to worry. Follow me to the inner hall as soon as possible!"
…
After arriving in the capital and living in Xie's mansion, Mr. Xie felt that his mood was smooth and he was quite happy.
It's a pity that Aunt Ding and Xie Yuanting made a fuss yesterday which was so annoying that Mr. Xie was so angry that he still hasn't calmed down. After Mrs. Xu and others came in, Mr. Xie became even more depressed and heartbroken.
"How shameless is it for someone who is so old and still putting on makeup?"
Mr. Xie scolded Mrs. Xu mercilessly in front of all his children and grandchildren: "And this bright purple dress! You are twenty years younger and still dressed the same. What do you look like now at your age? Go back and change into something plain.
"
Mrs. Xu was suffocating and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she responded with a smile: "I am old and frail, and nothing I wear can catch your eye. If you don't want to see it, just don't look at it."
."
Mr. Xie was choked and furious.
Just as he was about to get angry, Xie Mingxi and Xie Jun entered the inner hall one after the other.
Mr. Xie still wanted to have some face in front of his son and granddaughter, so he immediately calmed down his emotions and put on a majestic expression.
Xie Mingxi smiled and saluted one by one, and asked Mrs. Xu kindly as usual: "Grandma seems to be looking bad today. Is it because she is unwell or did she not sleep well last night?"
Mrs. Xu calmly smiled and said, "Ming Ming is very attentive. She can tell at a glance that I didn't sleep well last night. I don't want your grandfather to worry, so I dress brightly and put on makeup."
It's a pity that Mr. Xie didn't notice it at all.
Mr. Xie looked ugly after being squeezed and snorted softly.
Mrs. Xu braced herself up and looked at Xie Jun: "Ajun, you punish Aunt Ding to be grounded for half a year. But there must be someone around you to take care of your food, clothing, and daily life. I'm thinking of calling Mrs. Ya here today to pick two beautiful and gentle maids for you.
, what do you think?"
Xie Jun: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows slightly and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
It seems that Xu has already figured it out.
…
Mrs. Xu laughed again and said: "Logically speaking, such trivial matters should not be my business. However, the princess does not live in the mansion, and Aunt Ding has banned her. As a mother, I have to worry about you."
One or two."
"It's just two maids. I don't think the princess will be surprised."
The maids and concubines are different from each other. They are nameless and can be sold at any time.
With Princess Yongning's arrogance, how could she care about such a trivial matter. In fact, if it weren't for the concern about face, Princess Yongning would have wished he had taken a concubine and slept with a maid. As long as he didn't hang around in front of her and become an eyesore!
Thinking of this, Xie Jun felt quite uncomfortable, and felt a sense of wanton joy. He thought for a while and said, "Thank you for your trouble, mother."
This is a promise.
Mrs. Xu felt relieved and glanced at Xie Mingxi subconsciously.
Xie Mingxi's expression was indifferent, nothing strange. It was as if all this had nothing to do with her.
With such a city and such skill, it will surely become a great weapon in the future!
Back then, she was so determined to take out the coffin book for Xie Jun to study. Now, why didn't she dare to place her bet on Xie Mingxi? The worst outcome would be to return to her old house in Lin'an!
It’s better to give it a try, maybe you can get a good future for your children and grandchildren!
Mrs. Xu's mind suddenly brightened, and she no longer hesitated and said with a smile: "I will call the old lady to come to the door today. I will pick two people who are literate and can serve with pen and ink."
Xie Jun had never seen Mrs. Xu so pleasing to the eye, and his voice was gentler than ever: "Mother has the final say in everything."
Mrs. Xu responded with a smile.
Mr. Xie suddenly coughed and said, "We were in such a hurry that day that we didn't bring the maid I was waiting for. I just took this opportunity to buy two more maids."
