Except for Xie Huainan who was far away in the border area, Xie Ruyin who was seriously ill and was recuperating in the family temple, and the two married daughters of the Xie family, everyone in the Xie family gathered together.
The setting sun on the horizon looked like blood, seeming to indicate the future fate of the third family member of the Xie family. But people with three bedrooms are especially unaware of it, thinking that they are taking advantage of it.
After acquiring two properties and more than a hundred acres of fertile land, Xie Shensi began to speak loudly again, "Father, not many of our shops have been included in the public accounts in recent years. According to me, at least half of these shops should be It belongs to us.”
Hearing this, Xie Shenxing couldn't help but said, "Third brother, don't be too greedy!" When the land was divided, Xie Shensi took more than others. It was really too much to ask for more in this shop.
Although Mrs. Qiao didn't speak at the side, she looked unwilling.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu was dissatisfied and said, "Second brother is really an official and doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. If nothing else, he just said that there was a flood the year before last. You didn't know the inside story when you were in office, so our family invested a lot of money in it!" Let’s talk about daily food and clothing expenses. Didn’t our third room contribute the most? These are just free money. Now we need to buy more shops, isn’t it an exaggeration?”
Ji said in a deep voice, "Ms. Lu, don't go too far." She didn't like this daughter-in-law at all, and now she hates her even more. In her opinion, Xie Shensi might not have the intention to separate the family if it weren't for Lu's intervention.
If the Lu family was afraid of the Ji family in the past, now the family is about to be separated. From now on, she will be the matron of the family, and her fear of the Ji family has faded a bit. Yin retorted, "My mother's words are too biased, aren't you? The eldest and second brothers both have official positions, unlike my master, who is just a businessman. This shop is the icing on the cake for them, but for us, it is a timely help." Got it!"
She said what she said, and if others disagreed, it would seem like they were bullying their third wife.
However, this matter has been Ji's heartache for many years, and it is also something that makes her feel ashamed of her younger son. Therefore, as soon as he said this, Ji didn't refute it.
Seeing that Mr. Lu was suffocating everyone with this matter, Xie Ruzhuo sneered in his heart, but said calmly, "When Third Aunt said this, did she forget how everyone in the Xie family protected Third Uncle in the Jinluan Palace? ? Over the years, whether it was the trouble caused by Xie Rulan or the trouble caused by the third uncle, is it possible that the other rooms in our house have suddenly become indifferent? This man is content. "
Xie Ruzhuo's voice was not loud, but it hit the nail on the head, causing Lu's face to turn red immediately.
She gritted her teeth and wanted to refute, but because of Xie Ruzhuo's identity, she didn't dare to say anything too unpleasant, but she couldn't help it and said firmly, "The third room has not treated the other rooms badly in these years!"
Xie Shenyan looked at all this with cold eyes. Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo wanted to speak again, he waved his hand and said, "That's it. We don't want the shop in the public account. You can divide it up as you see fit."
If you don’t want the big house, the 50-50 cents will just go to the second and third bedrooms.
Mrs. Li didn't want her second wife to suffer a loss, so she felt a little sorry after hearing this, and said, "This is inappropriate, because the eldest brother will suffer a big loss."
Xie Shenyan still had a good impression of Mr. Li, and he said with a rare kindness, "We are all one family. I am the eldest brother and I should let my brothers take care of themselves."
Seeing that her master had spoken, Mrs. Qiao, even though she felt a little uncomfortable, responded, "Master, this is also a method. Although we are dividing the family, we can't be distracted by it, otherwise, we will make others laugh in vain. "
Xie Shengli praised Mrs. Qiao for her courtesy, then glared at his youngest son and said, "Okay, this shop has been decided. Since we have divided the house, whoever wants to move out can move out, and I won't do it either." Stopping you."
Xie Shensi and his wife had received many benefits. This time they sincerely thanked Xie Shengli. Seeing that no one in the room wanted to see the couple, they smiled a few times and left.
As soon as the two of them left, Xie Rufei was the first to express dissatisfaction, "How come our Xie family has such a person? It's so annoying!"
Xie Shenxing was so busy that he glared at her and said, "Stop talking nonsense!"
But how could Xie Rufei listen to him? Xie Rufei had already divorced him because of Su Bixin's incident. Now seeing Xie Shenxing reprimanding herself, she couldn't help but retort, "Dad, if you want to be a good person, go ahead and do it, but don't take me with you!"
With that said, she didn't wait for Xie Shenxing to speak, walked to Ji's side and said, "Grandma, I don't care if others want to move out, but my granddaughter doesn't want to be separated from you. I want to stay with you at home."
She had a coquettish look on her face, which made Ji feel loved and hurt. She smiled and said, "Grandma, I wish you all the best."
Mrs. Li on the side also laughed and said, "That's the reason. I've been used to being a hands-off shopkeeper these years. If you really want me to take care of the accounts, I will be the first and second sister. I just have to trouble the second sister-in-law. I will continue to do it for you in the future." The second room is worried."
Hearing this, Mrs. Qiao was so busy that she smiled and said, "What are you talking about? If our Xie family can live in harmony, not only will Luo and my mother be happy, but our younger generation will also be happy."
Xie Ruzhuo, who had been standing by silently, now joined in the fun and said, "It's good now, our Xie family is now clean. But the second aunt should be more careful, the house is spacious, and Yong'an, a skinny guy, won't have to go to your yard." Jumping up and down."
Mrs. Li immediately smiled and said, "Our Xie family has such a little baby now, so I'm very happy to welcome him."
At this point, Mrs. Li looked at Xie Ruzhuo's belly with a smile and asked, "Speaking of which, you are two months pregnant, right? The second aunt hasn't officially congratulated you yet. I wish you a boy next year!"
She spoke, and Xie Rufei and other children also joined in the fun. Especially Xie Huailin was particularly happy and shouted excitedly, "I'm going to be an uncle, and the fourth sister is going to give birth to a boy!"
When Xie Ruyun brought his youngest son back and forth, Xie Huailin had seen the soft and waxy little boy, but the elders were afraid that he would bump into him and would not hug him, so they only let him get closer and look. Even so, Xie Huailin was still very happy. Now looking at Xie Ruzhuo's belly, Xie Huailin was happy and worried at the same time. He lay next to Xie Ruzhuo and touched her belly cautiously, with a look of anticipation on his face.
Seeing him like this, everyone in the room laughed. Xie Ruzhuo hugged Xie Huailin with a doting look on his face and fed him cakes as usual.
Seeing how harmonious the atmosphere in the room was, Ji sighed, and the discomfort of Xie Shensi's separation faded a bit.
Maybe the master is right. Since this family has been broken up, it is better to rebuild after breaking up. Only in this way will the Xie family be more stable in the future.
In the evening, Xie Ruzhuo stayed at Xie's house for dinner. Qiao was so happy that she had not seen her daughter for a long time that she specially ordered the kitchen to cook many of her favorite meals.
Xie Ruzhuo's stomach was a little full after eating, but he smiled and begged, "Although my daughter has an extra food in her belly, she can't eat so much. Mother, please forgive me."
Ms. Qiao felt sorry for her recent weight loss. She sighed and put down her chopsticks and said, "When I was pregnant with Yong'an, I couldn't eat or sleep. It's just that you are young after all, so you have to be extra careful with this pregnancy. That's it. Even if you can’t eat it, you have to eat some at least.”
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo could only respond and said with a smile, "Don't worry, mother, I will pay more attention."
It was a rare visit for her, and now that she was pregnant again, Mrs. Qiao was naturally very worried, and kept nagging for a long time, all focusing on how to take care of the fetus in her belly.
Finally, Mrs. Qiao asked hesitantly, "You are pregnant now. Did the prince say anything?"
Seeing that Mrs. Qiao was a little embarrassed to speak, Xie Ruzhuo immediately understood and said, "The prince said that there is no need for anyone to serve in the room."
She has accepted since childhood that husband should be the guide for wife, but in this life, Xiao Junxi's kindness to her has gone beyond this limit. Xie Ruzhuo also tried to bring up the subject of concubinage. Instead of being happy, Xiao Junxi became angry with her on the spot.
What did he say
"Zhuo'er treats me like life, so I will naturally repay you twice as much. You have already worked hard to give birth to children for me, how can I do anything that makes me sorry for you? Since we are loyal, we should do the same to each other. That’s it.”
At that time, she would be lying if she said she wasn't moved. This man always brought her too many surprises.
Seeing the obvious satisfaction on Xie Ruzhuo's face, Mrs. Qiao was slightly relieved, took a breath and smiled, "If you and your husband are in harmony, mother will be relieved."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Bizhi coming in from the door, saying with a smile, "Prince Jing is here. He said he was here to take the princess back to his house."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. Looking at Mrs. Qiao's face full of shyness and joy, she became even more embarrassed and said, "Mother, I'm going back first."
Mrs. Qiao sent Xie Ruzhuo to the second door, where Xiao Junxi was already waiting for her at the Chuihua Gate.
The sky was dark, and he held an eight-treasure glass wind lantern in his hand, swirling slightly with the wind, adding a touch of light to the night.
Mrs. Qiao bowed first and said, "My wife, please pay your respects to King Jing."
Xiao Junxi dodged her courtesy and said with a smile, "There is no need to be polite to my mother-in-law. I shouldn't have disturbed my mother-in-law and Zhuoer's reminiscing about old times. It's just that it's hard to walk at night, so I'm worried. I hope my mother-in-law won't be offended."
It was too late for Mrs. Qiao to be happy, and she would not be surprised. She waved her hands and said with a smile, "The prince misses his wife, but my wife has kept Zhuo'er for too long. You guys should go back more slowly."
After exchanging a few words, Xiao Junxi personally helped Xie Ruzhuo get into the carriage, and the couple headed towards Prince Jing's Mansion.
On the second day, the decree of canonization arrived at the Xie family. After a lot of complicated praises, the most important sentence was the last sentence, "The Xie family is Rulan, and is now named Lan Noble, living in Yilanxuan, a side hall of Huayang Palace." .”
And the person living in the main hall of Huayang Palace was none other than Concubine Jing.
Mrs. Lu was naturally overjoyed when she got the news. She not only felt that she had the confidence to hold her head high, but also resented Xie Ruzhuo for not helping Xie Rulan. Otherwise, with Xie Rulan's conditions, she would still be a concubine anyway!
After the second wife Li sighed, she was glad that Xie Rufei did not enter the palace as a concubine. Her daughter has been pampered since she was a child. No matter what husband she marries in the future, she will not treat her badly. Why should she serve an old man in the inner courtyard of the palace
She did not dare to say this to Xie Shenxing, but tactfully mentioned Xie Rufei's marriage. After all, this girl is not young anymore, and she has reached the age where she wants to get married.
In just two days, the third room of the Xie family officially moved out of the Xie family, and the news of the separation of the Xie family spread throughout the streets and alleys, and became a new round of talk after dinner with the new ladies in the palace.
