Chapter three hundred and first joys and sorrows (1)
Because the Sixth Princess was punished, time was delayed. Xie Mingxi returned home a stick of incense later than usual.
As usual, the Sixth Princess rode Xie Mingxi to the door.
Xie Mingxi got off the horse and smiled brilliantly at the sixth princess: "It's getting late. Your Highness, please return to the palace early!"
The Sixth Princess nodded slightly, waved to Xie Mingxi, and quickly turned the horse's head. The heroic figure quickly disappeared into the dusk.
Xie Mingxi entered Xie's mansion with brisk steps.
"Ming Niang, you are finally back."
Mrs. Xu came out with a smile on her face, held Xie Mingxi's cold hand affectionately, and sighed sadly: "On a cold day, it's warmer to sit in a carriage, but I have to ride a horse. I have to toss like this every day, how can my body feel?
be able to stand."
After living in the capital for half a year, Mrs. Xu now has the air of a noble lady in the capital. She eats delicacies, wears fine silks and satins, and puts on her face thirty taels of silver a box of jade.
Face cream...
Mrs. Xu, who is always worried about money, would never have thought that the most popular jade facial cream in Beijing today was made by Xie Mingxi.
Not to mention that the cost of a box of thirty taels of jade ointment is only six taels. The profit is staggeringly high.
However, it is nothing compared to another "magic pill" that is quietly spread by word of mouth among men.
A small bottle of "Fairy Pills" with only twenty pills costs fifty taels and sells for as much as fifty taels.
Don’t be too expensive!
Only ten bottles are sold every day, and all ten bottles are sold out. If you want to buy it, please come early tomorrow!
The two humble shops have now become famous. The money they make every month is like running water, a steady stream.
Except for Yu An, no one knows that the real owner of these two shops is Xie Mingxi.
No one knew that Xie Mingxi had made a huge sum of money in the college competition and had already secretly bought a farm of several hundred acres on the outskirts of the capital, as well as a three-bedroom house in the capital.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others! It is better to have what others have than to have what you have!
Xie Mingxi understands this truth well.
"There is a charcoal pot burning in the inner hall. It's warm. Come in quickly." Mrs. Xu's voice sounded again.
Xie Mingxi smiled at Mrs. Xu and stepped in.
…
Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie Jun and his son are all in the inner hall, and everyone in the second room is also there.
Xie Yunxi stood beside Xie Jun listlessly.
Aunt Ding, who had been lifted from the ban, stood on the other side of Xie Jun.
During the six months of confinement, Aunt Ding fell seriously ill. She shed so many tears and suffered so much. She became thinner and became more pitiful and delicate.
The novelty of the two maidservants had long since worn off, and Xie Jun was feeling bored. Aunt Ding, who had a sad face and beautiful eyes with tears in her eyes, completely softened her heart by being scolded by her. He stayed in Lanxiang Courtyard for several days.
Although Aunt Ding hated Xie Jun for being ruthless and unrighteous, she had no choice but to lie low and coax Xie Jun to change his mind before discussing anything else.
Because of this, Aunt Ding has shown her kindness to Xie Mingxi everywhere in the past few days.
"Ming Niang," Aunt Ding called softly, "Why are you coming back late tonight? Could it be that something delayed you?"
Before Xie Mingxi could open her mouth to respond, she whispered again: "If you don't want to say it, just don't say it. I'm worried, so I just said a few more words."
She looks like a loving mother who says, "No matter how much you neglect me, I still feel sorry for you"!
Xie Mingxi was too lazy to play tricks with Aunt Ding and responded calmly: "You know you are talkative, so don't open your mouth to offend her."
Aunt Ding: "..."
Aunt Ding also learned to be smart. She neither turned around to complain nor cried or wiped away her tears. She showed an aggrieved expression and lowered her head.
Xie Jun saw this and felt pity for her. He secretly thought about coaxing Aunt Ding in private.
In front of Xie Mingxi, it's better to pretend that she didn't see it.
…
"Ming Niang, how did you do in today's annual exam?" Xie Jun smiled and asked about a topic that everyone was concerned about.
Xie Yunxi seemed disdainful, but in fact her ears pricked up.
A voice so familiar that it made her grit her teeth and hate it came into her ears: "There should be no problem in getting the first place in the exam. However, this test paper is quite difficult and the scoring standards are particularly strict. It is a little difficult to get full marks."
...Listen to this arrogant tone!
Xie Yunxi gritted her teeth and secretly hated her, her pretty face slightly distorted by jealousy.
Xie Mingxi happened to look over at this moment: "I wonder how the second sister did in the exam this time?"
Xie Yunxi really wanted to respond with the same pride... Unfortunately, not to mention ranking first in the exam, she was not confident even in the A-level exam. She reluctantly uttered a few words: "How I did in the exam, what does it have to do with you?"
Before Xie Mingxi opened her mouth, Xie Jun glared at her unhappily: "Sisters should be harmonious and friendly. Ming Niang cares about you kindly, what is your reaction? Apologize to Ming Niang immediately."
Want her to apologize again!
In the past few months, she had been too miserable in Xie's mansion.
There are two maids following closely when he comes in and out, and he is not allowed to speak or do anything freely. He cannot offend Xie Mingxi in the slightest, and he will make her bow to Xie Mingxi at every turn!
Why?
She is the legitimate daughter of Xie Mansion!
Why should Xie Mingxi, a despicable concubine, sit on her head and dominate her?
Xie Yunxi blushed in embarrassment, with water drops rolling in her eyes, and replied stiffly: "I won't apologize to her!"
Xie Jun's majesty as a father was greatly challenged. He was immediately angry and slammed the table: "Asshole!"
The tea cup jumped due to the shock, and light brown tea splashed onto the table.
Xie Yunxi was also frightened by Xie Jun's sudden anger. Her whole body trembled and her pretty face turned pale.
Xie Mingxi unexpectedly opened her mouth: "Why should father be so angry over such trivial matters?"
Xie Jun's face suddenly changed into a loving and paternal expression: "Ming Niang is still the most sensible and obedient."
Xie Yunxi: "..."
"My father complimented me so much that I had no choice but to accept it shamelessly."
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled, then slowly looked at Xie Yunxi, who was almost furious: "Actually, the second sister's temper has changed a lot, and she is much better than before."
Xie Yunxi finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried in anger on the spot. She wiped her tears and ran out.
Everyone: "..."
It’s okay to leave now, my ears will be much cleaner.
…
Early the next morning, the results of the annual examination were announced outside the gate of Lianchi Academy.
The students crowded under the table one by one, looking around. From time to time they exclaimed or lamented.
Those who did well in the exam were full of joy, those who got the B grade were full of despair, and those who unfortunately fell into the C grade shed tears on the spot. In short, the scene was extremely lively.
Lin Weiwei was filled with eagerness, pulling Xie Mingxi's sleeve and pushing forward.
I don't know who shouted: "Xie Mingxi is also here to see the list."
The girls who were originally crowded at the bottom of the list all turned their heads and looked over. When they saw Xie Mingxi's face clearly, they immediately and spontaneously moved aside.
Lin Weiwei puffed up his chest proudly and went to the bottom of the list with Xie Mingxi.
