Views:

When Xie Huainan heard this, he immediately pointed the topic at Xie Ruyue, "Yue'er hasn't left the cabinet yet, but she speaks so boldly and unrestrainedly. In my opinion, it would be better to marry Yue'er as soon as possible!"

Xie Ruyue couldn't get any advantage from her words, so she had to pull Xie Ruzhuo away, "Zhuo'er, look, eldest brother is no longer the eldest brother he used to be!"

Yes, Xie Huainan is no longer the Xie Huainan she used to be, and she, Xie Ruzhuo, will no longer be the Xie Ruzhuo she used to be.

Xie Ruzhuo was filled with emotion for a moment, but he actually ignored Xie Ruyue's words.

"Zhuo'er!"

Xie Ruyue was a little annoyed, why didn't even Xie Ruzhuo help her

"You're acting like a fool, what's the point of this family?"

Xie Huainan smiled and patted Xie Ruyue's head, then pulled Xie Ruzhuo closer and asked with concern, "I heard that Zhuo'er was almost bitten by a snake a few days ago, but was he frightened?"

Xie Ruzhuo shook his head slightly. She wasn't even afraid of death, how could she be afraid of a snake? What she fears most in this life is to end up with the same fate as in her previous life. Now that the Xie family is able to go smoothly, and Xie Huainan can still stand in front of her in good health, it is a gift given to her by God.

"Brother, Zhuo'er misses you very much. Zhuo'er hopes that brother will be well. It will be the same in the future. You must not be reckless when doing things and put the overall situation first!"

Xie Ruzhuo's few words made Xie Huainan confused, and he immediately ruffled Xie Ruzhuo's hair, "This girl, after not seeing each other for a few months, has become more serious. How can she still look like a little girl? Okay. , Zhuo'er, don't be afraid, big brother will protect you!"

He just thought Xie Ruzhuo was scared, but he didn't know what Xie Ruzhuo was thinking.

Xie Ruzhuo sighed in his heart, but his heart tightened at the warmth of Xie Huainan's words. Her eldest brother is always good to her unconditionally!

The three brothers and sisters were talking about their deep love, but they temporarily ignored the little meat dumpling next to them.

Xie Huailin immediately pouted, grabbed Xie Ruzhuo's clothes with his fleshy claws, and said angrily, "Fourth sister has a brother, so she doesn't want Yongan anymore, Yongan is not happy!"

Hearing this, Xie Ruyue burst into laughter and said, watching the show from the side, "Look, our little Yong'an has learned to be jealous."

Xie Ruzhuo smiled helplessly, then picked up Xie Huailin and said, "If Yong'an is unhappy, just have a pastry."

Unexpectedly, Xie Huailin was not so easy to coax this time. He immediately turned his little head to one side and said in a milky voice, "I won't eat it."

"Oh? You don't want to eat this three-color almond cake?" The kitchen made this new snack in the past two days, and Xie Huailin became addicted to it, and even the rice was not very good. When Mr. Qiao gets angry, he is only allowed to eat one piece a day.

Now that Xie Ruzhuo was seducing him with this almond cake, Xie Huailin instantly swallowed his breath without any spine, but still turned his little head to one side, but his big black eyes couldn't help but glance this way.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Xie Ruzhuo faked a sigh and said, "Hey, in that case, I have to eat it myself..."

Before she finished her sentence, she saw that the pastry was firmly grasped by two chubby hands. Xie Huailin hugged the pastry tightly and said eagerly, "I forgive you, I forgive you."

Seeing his little appearance, everyone in the room immediately burst into laughter.

When the Southern tribesmen came to the capital for the first time, they were not used to everything. Fortunately, Xie Shengli had made preparations in advance. Not only had he prepared everything in advance, but he had also prepared all the land and other items.

After Xie Huainan returned to Beijing, he accompanied these young disciples everywhere to familiarize themselves with the environment. However, in more than a month, the group of clan members who arrived in advance from the Xie family were settled properly.

As soon as summer arrived, Xie Ruzhuo felt a little lazy. It's just that Hu Weide has always been strict and never allowed students to be lazy. She deliberately found an excuse, but she couldn't help but think of everything in her previous life, and she stopped her lazy thoughts. Therefore, the two masters and apprentices were one strict and the other progressive. When Hu Weide mentioned this apprentice to Xie Shengli, he began to appreciate him more and more.

Xie Ruzhuo knew that it was a good thing to make progress, but Xie Shengli couldn't help but feel sorry for his granddaughter, so his words were meant to protect her, "She is a female, after all, and she doesn't have to go out in the world, so don't be too harsh."

When Hu Weide heard this, he just laughed and said, "Are you the only one who feels sorry for your granddaughter? This is the first female disciple Hu has accepted. Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion."

Having said that, Hu Weide also felt that Xie Ruzhuo worked too hard. It happened that she had finished practicing a set of sword skills that day, and heard the maid coming to report that she was the personal maid of the Seventh Princess.

Xie Ruzhuo put the sword in his hand back into its scabbard. Seeing that the person coming was Xiao Xining's personal maid Linglong, he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Linglong, are you here for something?"

Linglong bowed first, then frowned and said, "Princess said that the lotus flowers at Yue Lake in the west of the city are blooming very well. Miss Xie, please come and enjoy the flowers."

After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo was a little surprised, "Did you say something wrong? Did the princess invite Miss Xie Er or me?" Xiao Xining and Xie Ruyue have a very good relationship. Whenever they have something delicious and fun, they are always the first. I thought of her just today, why did I think of myself for the first time

"The princess said that she would only invite Miss Xie today. As for Miss Xie, she will make another invitation another day."

After Linglong finished speaking, Xie Ruzhuo felt a little clear in his heart. I am afraid that today is not just as simple as appreciating lotus flowers. After thinking about it, she turned around and asked Hu Weide, "Master, the princess invited me, I'm afraid I have to be lazy and report it to the master."

Hu Weide did not stop him, he happily agreed to Xie Ruzhuo's half-day holiday, gave her a few instructions, and then allowed her to leave with her maid.

Unexpectedly, Xie Ruzhuo had just changed his clothes and was about to go out, when he happened to see Mrs. Lu bringing Xie Rulan to Tingfeng Courtyard.

"Hey, Fourth Girl, do you have a guest?" Mrs. Lu was surprised, but she couldn't hide the calculating light in her eyes. Looking at Xie Rulan's well-groomed appearance, Xie Ruzhuo immediately understood.

However, there are still rules to follow, "Greetings to Third Aunt, why is Third Aunt here?"

Madam Lu really stumbled over what happened to Liuyun not long ago, but within a few days, Madam Ji couldn't stand Xie Huaiyang's plea, and called Madam Lu over to give her a lecture, and then exempted her from the punishment. . Liu Yun, who had lost her child, was just promoted to another level and carried her to his aunt as compensation.

For this reason, Liu Yun was said to have lost her temper. Unfortunately, Mrs. Lu had a son by her side and she was the principal wife, so there was nothing she could do. Mr. Lu has been signaling for a few days, but now his arrogance is showing signs of rebounding.

Now after listening to Xie Ruzhuo's question, Mrs. Lu instantly smiled with a flattering look on her face and said, "Didn't your third sister say that she wanted to come and talk to you in the boudoir, but she was too embarrassed to come, so I brought her here. But, I am Isn’t it a coincidence? This is—”

Seeing Mrs. Lu's inquiry, Linglong bowed and said, "My servant is Linglong, the female official beside the Seventh Princess. Thank you, Madam Third, for being polite." She didn't have a good impression of this woman at all, and she could tell at a glance that she was the kind of greedy person.

"It turns out you are someone from the Seventh Princess. When I saw your demeanor just now, I thought you were a young lady from some aristocratic family. Sure enough, you are from the royal family. Look, it is extraordinary." Mr. Lu has been doing business for a long time. Yes, the sweet words on his lips came right out of his mouth.

Unfortunately, Linglong was not moved at all. She only bowed, then made a saw-mouthed gourd and remained silent.

Lu was a little embarrassed for a moment, so she turned to Xie Ruzhuo, "Zhuo'er, what are you doing?" In fact, as soon as Linglong arrived, a maid came to tell her the news, and The purpose of her bringing Xie Rulan here at this time was already known to Sima Zhaozhi.

Xie Ruzhuo didn't even bother to smile this time, "The seventh princess came to invite me, and I was about to go out. Third sister, why don't we talk about it some other time." She didn't have time to talk about sisterhood with this so-called third sister. .

Seeing Xie Ruzhuo's eviction order, Mrs. Lu seemed not to understand, and immediately clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Great, your sister has been in a depressed mood these past two days, and I was thinking of letting her go for a walk. What a coincidence today. You two sisters should go together, so we can keep company, what do you think, Zhuo'er?"

These words were clearly forcing Xie Ruzhuo. If she didn't take Xie Rulan with her, wouldn't it be clear that she didn't care about her sister? With Lu's temper, he would have to go to Ji's place to cause trouble again. Xie Ruzhuo was not afraid of her making trouble, but he hesitated again when he thought about Ji's bad health these past two days.

It was at this moment of hesitation that Xie Rulan said with a twist on his face, "This isn't quite appropriate. After all, it was the princess who invited me. I'm afraid it will disturb my sister's interest."

"How could it be possible? You are sisters. How can you spoil your mood? Zhuo'er, don't you think so?" Mrs. Lu said as she stepped forward to hold Xie Ruzhuo's hand and said with a smile, "You sisters have always been close, but we just go out to play together." , it won’t be inappropriate.”

Seeing that she had gone so far as to say everything, Xie Ruzhuo also felt a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Linglong, who was listening to the side, spoke, "Mrs. Xie San, the princess has ordered that only Miss Xie Xie will be invited today. No other people will be seen, so you'd better not bother." After saying this, , she turned to Xie Ruzhuo and said, "Miss Xie Fourth, let's go, the princess is still waiting."

As soon as Linglong finished speaking, Hongrui beside her couldn't help but burst into laughter. As soon as she said something, she felt something was wrong, and she tried to suppress her laughter, but her face turned red.

Xie Ruzhuo didn't expect that Linglong would say such words. He couldn't help laughing at the moment, but he still had to pretend to be serious and said, "In this case, I'm afraid I really can't live up to Third Aunt's kindness. If Third Sister If you really want to go out for a walk, let’s wait for another day, I’ll leave first.”

Mrs. Lu was choked by Linglong's words and immediately became a little embarrassed. Now after hearing Xie Ruzhuo's almost straightforward rejection, she could only laugh and said, "That's it, forget it. I'll take Lan'er to the old lady's place to have a rest."

After saying that, she took Xie Rulan away in despair.

As soon as Mrs. Lu left, Qian Bi couldn't help but sneer and said, "She can really calculate everything. She spends the whole day thinking about giving her daughter a high position, and she doesn't care whether she is lucky enough or not!"

"Shut up." Xie Ruzhuo frowned slightly, then said calmly, "Let's go, the princess will be anxious later."

Qian Bi also realized that she had made a mistake. Her face froze, and she lowered her head and followed Xie Ruzhuo. However, she couldn't help it and made a face at Lu's retreating back.

When Xie Ruzhuo glanced sideways, he caught all her little movements, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, why didn't she realize that Qian Bi's temperament was so out of control in her previous life.

But it's okay, her life is full of darkness, and Qianbi's existence is a rare bright spot.
