Chapter 346 Distressed
Siya Courtyard consists of three entrances, front and back, and three rooms wide. The rooms are not large and are extremely compact, but they are exquisite. Several clusters of flowers and plants are well-groomed and full of vitality.
After entering the room, there were only two brothers and sisters left. Seeing that her younger sister was not in high spirits, Hai Muxian felt very distressed, so she supported her by the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Don't take what my second cousin said to you, put it in a bad way. It's not her turn to talk in this family. Just look at Ji Bai's attitude, the attitude of the old man and the elder sisters-in-law."
How could Hai Muqing not understand this truth, she raised her head, gave her brother a reassuring smile, and said, "I know, brother don't need to worry, brother just concentrate on studying."
"Well, I know that. This kind of life won't be too long. I will definitely study hard and let my sister have someone to rely on in the future. But you are here, don't take everything too seriously. On the way here, I think The yard over there has been repainted, and flowers and plants have been planted again, presumably the marriage will be settled soon, and by then, you won't be too embarrassed."
"I know. Xie's family has always been generous in their work, unlike others. Besides, now that the head of the house is the head of the house, just looking at the princess's behavior, the yard is cleaned up like this, and the attitude of the servants, my life will not be sad. Brother Go to rest quickly, don't worry about me, there will be a banquet tonight, at that time, my brother will have to gather his spirits and ask Uncle Xie for advice."
After the siblings finished speaking, Hai Muxian went out.
In this yard, there are a total of twelve people including maids, daughters-in-law and mother-in-law, plus the two people brought by Shanghai Muqing himself, and there are enough people. The fourth wife, when she started to serve Hai Muqing, she put all her heart into it.
For a while, Hai Muqing had nothing to worry about, and ordered someone to ask if the ladies were free, and to go over to say hello.
After she washed up, Yuan Shi sent someone to tell the girl to rest first. After today, if the girl is free, she can go to the courtyards again.
It’s just like New Year’s Eve in Yizhaoyuan. The girls come back, those who prepare hot soup, those who take bath and freshen up, compete with each other to be courteous. Everyone seems to have received a reward of ten taels of silver.
Xie Zhiwei cleaned up and tidied up. The Yuan family sent someone over to invite her, saying that the banquet has been set up in Ruichun Hall, and invited her over.
When Xie Zhiwei went, the Hai brothers and sisters had already arrived. When they saw Xie Zhiwei coming, the brothers and sisters gathered around. Xie Mingxi ran into her sister's arms, "Sister, sister, I miss me!"
"Really? My sister didn't bring you any presents this time!"
"Dad and mother said that my sister went to save people and saved a lot of people. I don't want my sister's gift, as long as my sister comes back."
Xie Mingcheng and other brothers came back to greet Xie Zhiwei, and each of them said a lot of greetings.
Seeing the harmony between the brothers and sisters of the Xie family, Hai Muqing was very envious, thinking that the reason why the Xie family has been so prosperous and has survived for so many years is that the brothers and sisters are of the same heart.
Men and women sat at separate tables, separated by a screen, and the food and drink were served. Xie Tiao held up the wine glass and said, "It's a pity that your eldest brother is not here today. He has military affairs, so he can't clean up the Hai family's nephew and niece. Please excuse me!"
Hai Muxian said, "Uncle said so, how can my nephew be so embarrassing, I met once outside Juzhou City yesterday, and I will ask my cousin for advice when he comes back someday."
Hai Muxian didn't doubt at all, after drinking for three rounds, the conversation between each other heated up.
Hai Muqing is at the table here, and Yuan, as the eldest wife of the clan, is at the head of the table. First is Xiao, followed by Qian, followed by Hai. Xie Zhiwei is at the bottom of her head. She watched coldly and didn't see Mrs. Feng was secretly surprised that no one even mentioned it.
It's not her fault, Jiang Ning and Xie's family are very far away, the brother and sister came all the way by water, and then changed to land, and within two days, they were trapped in Juzhou City.
Hai Shi is also a very well-bred girl, no matter how much doubts she has in her heart, she will not ask rashly. When she looked at Xie's family's habits, she saw that it was not a rigid "eating without talking, sleeping without talking", and seeing the juniors toasting each other , Then he held a cup and toasted with Yuan's three sisters-in-law.
Xie Zhihui said, "Big sister, where is Taohuawu? Is it fun over there? When are we going?"
Xie Zhiwei came back and talked about going out to play, and the younger brothers and sisters fell in love. After the spring, because Xie Zhiwei was not at home, they didn't go out for an outing.
"I'll go when I take care of the affairs of Yizhaoyuan. I can't wait until the peach blossoms are gone. It's just a few days. If you want to go, you should catch up with your homework. You will not be granted leave, and no one will ask for leave for you.”
Xie Zhiqian wailed, and she leaned on Xie Zhiying's shoulder, "Fourth sister, have you finished writing all your words? If you finish, can you help me, I still have more than 50 sheets to write!"
"Third sister, who told you not to write well? I told you to write several times, but you said there is no rush." Xie Zhiying couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help gloating.
Naturally, thanks for paying attention to her daughter, Mrs. Qian couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about? As soon as your eldest sister comes back, you have lost your shape."
"Mother, you said how bad your eldest sister is. You didn't say hello in advance, but you said that you would take us to play in the Huangzhuang that the emperor bestowed on your elder sister. My daughter still has more than 50 big characters that have not been written. Woohoo, mother , if your daughter can't finish writing, you can help her to take a leave of absence from her husband!"
Mrs. Qian poked her daughter's forehead with her finger, naturally she would not use force, "I won't help you to ask for leave. It's not too embarrassing to say it. If you want to go, go study hard by yourself tonight, don't ask me!"
As he spoke, he asked Xie Zhiwei, "Is the eldest girl going by herself or with others?"
Xie Zhiwei knew what she was asking, "It's not sure yet."
She was very affectionate towards Qian, and asked Hai Muqing, "Guy Hai Biao, you can go with us too, go from here, it's a day's journey to the south, Yanshan Mountain is to the north, and Zhuxian Lake is to the south , There are a total of 108 islands on the lake, and there are many peach blossoms on the islands. The largest island is like a small town, full of peach blossoms, and in March, there are petals floating all over the lake, which is very beautiful."
With that said, who is still in the mood to eat?
Even the hearts of the housewives were moved, Xie Zhiwei hugged Yuan Shi's arm, "If mother wants to go, she can also follow us."
Yuan could only sigh, and finally shook her head cruelly, "I can't go, and your cousin Hai guessed that you can't go either. Your grandfather has set a few days, the closest is in April, and the farthest is in June. , mother has to make arrangements at home."
