This explanation seems to be more consistent with common sense, and it is very grand when it is said.
Xie Shenyan thought of many reasons, but he never thought that his daughter would say such things. He opened his mouth, then sighed and said, "I didn't expect that after so many years as an official, my insights are not as good as those of my teenage daughter!"
Xie Ruzhuo smiled softly and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? People say that tiger fathers have no sons. Of course, the Xie family is so strong that they can raise good children like me!"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Shengli immediately smiled and patted her hand and said, "Shen Yan, you have raised a good daughter. This sharp-tongued daughter is a disguised form of embarrassment for yourself."
Xie Ruzhuo accompanied the two of them and said a few more words. Xie Shengli then waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll discuss some business with your father. Girl Zhuo, you go back first."
Xie Ruzhuo agreed, saluted Xie Shengli and his son, and then left Ningxi Hall together with Hong Rui's hand.
As soon as she left, Ning Xi's hall suddenly became quiet.
Xie Shengli held a white piece in his somewhat old hand and tapped the chessboard gently. After a long time, he asked, "Shen Yan, what do you think of this girl?"
Xie Shenyan said with some thought, "To be honest, father, I always have a feeling now that this girl Zhuo'er seems to have been transformed overnight. After returning from the palace, she has become much more sensible. However, After all, she is a child, and one day when she grows up, she will be sensible and thank our family, which is a good thing after all."
Xie Shengli's brows furrowed slightly. For some reason, the old man suddenly remembered what the master said at Jialan Temple.
"The Phoenix Star has faded away and is showing signs of recovery. It is still unclear what the future of the Xie family will be like."
What the eminent monk said... is it starting to come true now
So, what exactly does this change bring to the Xie family
Perhaps, the fate of the Xie family will take a different track from this.
After Xie Ruyin left Tingfeng Courtyard, she hurried towards her mother's courtyard. She was a concubine, and the mistress of the third room, Mrs. Lu, was intolerant of others. If she hadn't been a lowly child, and her mother was strong, she wouldn't be living as comfortable as she is now.
It happened that Xie Ruzhuo was very polite to her today even though he knew that he was in trouble. Later, he even punished his maid severely in front of her. Xie Ruyin thought that if it were herself, she would definitely not be able to be so generous, so she immediately felt that there was some conspiracy inside.
Perhaps Xie Ruyin relied on Liu more than usual. Xie Ruyin had no idea. The first thing she thought of was Liu.
Fortunately, we were not far from Liu's yard now. In just half a moment, Xie Ruyin saw Aunt Liu. She was sitting on a mahogany chair. Next to her was the ointment that the old lady had given her not long ago. It was so brightly red that it was a bit dazzling.
"Mother, are you going to let them humiliate you this time in vain? My daughter, I really can't swallow this breath. Look, my daughter's arm is still burning with pain."
As she said this, Xie Ruyin's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked really pitiful.
However, her appearance could not be concealed from Aunt Liu, who was her own mother, "Okay, why are you crying? I think our two mothers' bad days were caused by your crying."
Saying that, Aunt Liu took out her handkerchief again, wiped away the tears on Xie Ruyin's face, and said in a soft voice, "Can you recite the collection that the old lady asked you to recite last time?"
Xie Ruyin looked a little crying, but she didn't dare to cry anymore. She just said, "It's almost done. It should be no problem to coax the old lady when I greet you next time."
Hearing this, Aunt Liu showed a satisfied smile, "Now it is obvious that we are at a disadvantage. As a girl, it is only right for you to make the old lady happy now. Don't think about some scheming. Things. Now you try your best to fulfill all the old lady’s requirements. When the next festival comes, the old lady may pay attention to the arrangement of your dowry. Do you understand? "
Right now, there are only a few people that she can rely on. If this daughter can't get on the stage, the days to come will definitely be like walking on thin ice. Speaking of which, the old lady has a pretty good impression of this child. If he can please the old lady, it will be a beneficial thing for both Xie Ruyin and himself.
After all, now that Liu Yun's little hooves is fighting against the Lu family, it is not impossible for him to take advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the throne!
So Liu's mood is not calm at the moment, but now it is more important to explain the truth clearly to her daughter instead of causing any more trouble.
After saying that, Mrs. Liu seemed to suddenly remember something and added something behind her.
"Parsley, vanilla. Miss, she has an impetuous temper now, which will inevitably make children lose their temper. You are the ones following her. If something unexpected happens, remember to stabilize the lady first, and then come over and report it to me. If I know that you are provoking trouble when something happens, I will definitely beat you up and sell you out of the house, do you understand?"
Liu's words obviously contained weight. The two maids behind her lowered their heads in unison. After a long silence, they still supported Xie Ruyin steadily.
"Miss, let's go back to the room. When you said hello yesterday, didn't you say you wanted to perform that piece of music for the old lady? It's still early now, so you can go back and practice for a while."
Although Xie Ruyin had her own ideas, she was still a ten-year-old child, so she only bowed, stopped crying slightly, and said, "Mother, my daughter has gone back to her room first. I will greet you later."
When she said this, Xie Ruyin's eyes were still a little red, but Ms. Liu knew that her daughter had heard what she just said.
There was just one thing, but she had to explain it again, "Remember, I am an aunt. Next time, call me Aunt Liu."
Since she has entered the Xie family as a concubine, she must abide by the rules. These words were not only meant for Xie Ruyin, but also for herself. If she could not stand up and become a serious mistress, then she would only have her own daughter as her aunt!
Xie Ruyin's eyes reddened again at what she said, but she held back her tears in an instant, with a bit of stoicism in her eyes, she nodded lightly and said. "I understand, Aunt Liu!"
When Ms. Liu heard this, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and then said, "Okay, be careful on the way back. It's been windy recently, so no one accidentally catches the cold wind."
When Xie Ruyin's figure gradually faded away, Mrs. Liu wiped the moisture from her eyes, and looked at Qiu Fuyuan with a somewhat unclear expression.
Seeing that the heat of the sun was gradually fading away, Mrs. Liu turned around and returned to the house.
Originally they just agreed on a time for a cup of tea, but when Xie Ruzhuo returned to his Tingfeng Courtyard, he saw Qianbi still kneeling there, looking shivering.
She was someone who had been waiting in her yard for a long time, and I just wanted to teach her a lesson. Now that she has been punished for such a long time, I think it has achieved the effect. Thinking of this, Xie Ruzhuo lost all his energy and walked towards Qian Bi.
"Okay, get up."
Hearing Xie Ruzhuo's words, Qianbi raised her head, with obvious grievance in her eyes, and said, "Miss, I know I was wrong." Although she didn't understand where she was wrong, admitting her mistakes was the most important thing in front of her master.
Why didn't Xie Ruzhuo understand Qian Bi's thoughts, so he sighed, helped her up with his own hands, and said, "Do you really think I want to punish you? What you did today was certainly to vent your anger for me, but if it was passed on In the ears of caring people, they said that I was a slave, but the old lady and the others would not be willing to scold me, but wouldn’t it be miserable for you? I am doing this now to calm their mouths, and to save you from future sins."
Qianbi had been kneeling for a long time, and when she got up, she staggered a little. Fortunately, Hongrui had good eyesight and quick hands, and held her up, so she didn't fall.
She nodded heavily and said, "Thank you, miss. I have learned a lesson. I will definitely control my temper in the future and won't ask for trouble again."
Seeing her acting like this, Xie Ruzhuo said, "In the future, just remember the lesson learned this time in your heart. If you make the same mistake again in the future, you won't be punished by kneeling down as painlessly as you are now. Do you understand?"
Seeing Qian Bi nodding like a fool, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly remembered that his other personal maid was still being punished in the service room.
"Qianbi, please let Jiangzhu go back to the room to wait on you. I think it's my fault these days. Then you can cut half of the material that my grandmother gave me and give it to her so that she can make new clothes."
Hearing this, Qian Bi's eyes suddenly flashed with joy. She was afraid that Xie Ruzhuo would regret it. She ignored that her legs were still hurting and said, "Thank you, Master. I'll go right now!" and ran out of Tingfeng Yard. .
Jiangzhu's absence during this period almost made Qian Bi miserable, but she was not sure whether the young lady was still angry about the previous incident, so she had not dared to plead for mercy. Now that she had received the pardon, she hurriedly expressed her joy Ran out.
Seeing Qian Bi's appearance, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but sigh again and turned his head, only to see that the wet nurse's eyes were wet and she was wiping her eyes with a handkerchief.
She walked over, held the nanny's hand, and said, "Nanny, it was my fault in the past. I wrongly blamed Jiang Zhu. Don't take it to heart."
Jiangzhu is the nanny's daughter. She has been with her since she was a child. They are called master and servant, but in fact, she thinks Jiangzhu is a little sister.
In the previous life, she listened to the second wife's instigation and went to Mr. Qiao to ask for the dowry left by her mother, but she had a conflict with Mr. Qiao. As a result, when she was angry, Jiang Zhu came to persuade her and asked her to distinguish between right and wrong. It was this sentence that angered Xie Ruzhuo, who demoted Jiangzhu to the miscellaneous room. He never saw her again until she got married.
However, Xie Ruzhuo didn't know that in her previous life, after her death, Shen Jingci ordered people to distribute her bones into several pieces. Jiangzhu sold all her property and begged many people to buy all her bones and flesh. , happily buried on the outskirts of the city.
But because of this incident, Jiangzhu was targeted by Shen Jingci and was eventually sold to a brothel. In order to avoid humiliation, she hit a pillar and accompanied Xie Ruzhuo.
Xie Ruzhuo thought of the scenes in his previous life and felt his cheeks getting a little hot. She hadn't seen Jiang Zhu for a long time, and she didn't think of her until today. It was really her mistake.
But the nanny obviously didn’t think so. Hearing Xie Ruzhuo's words, she immediately waved her hands and said, "Thank you, Miss Fourth, for taking such good care of our mother and son. However, it is already a great kindness for you to be generous enough to let that stupid girl Jiangzhu come back. Miss Fourth is definitely not good enough." For us servants.”
