GBP Chapter 85 The So-Called Reciprocity
Chapter 85 The So-Called Reciprocity
Xie Ying thought about it and felt that someone was cursing her behind her back, so she decisively took out a small notebook in her mind and made a note of every enemy.
Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Rou heard her inner voice: "..."
Is it not good for a child so young to hold grudges like this?
As soon as this thought came to mind, it was tacitly dismissed by Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Rou.
What's wrong with holding a grudge?
They have been bullied like this, why can't they hold a grudge?
You should bear a grudge and then retaliate!
But Yingying just sneezed, could it be that someone was talking behind her back?
Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Rou looked at each other and silently took out their little notebooks in their hearts.
After decisively noting down every enemy, Tu Jiaojiao couldn't help but say, "Rou'er, why don't you not move? You're still so young, I'm worried about you moving there alone."
Xie Rou helplessly grabbed Tu Jiaojiao's hand and said, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore. Great-grandmother said that in two years, I can start to see."
"She's talking nonsense, don't believe it! You're only ten years old this year. Even in two years, you'll still be a little girl. Why are you in such a hurry to meet her? Wait until you're older!"
Tu Jiaojiao spoke in a decisive and murderous tone.
She didn't want her daughter to start dating when she was so young and didn't know anything.
What's more, the old lady in Songheyuan may not have good intentions.
If she really cared about her eldest grandson Xie Xiu, how could she not miss him all these years and enjoy himself comfortably in Songheyuan?
But it would be fine if she didn't care about Xie Xiu, but now he actually set his sights on her daughter. How could she tolerate this?
Do they all treat her as a soft persimmon?
Fortunately, Xie Xiu had already seen through the true faces of these so-called relatives. This time, he did not come back to look for family affection, and they would not stay in Xie Mansion for too long.
No matter what the old woman’s idea is, it’s wishful thinking!
Moreover, Songheyuan is not far from Xiaoxiangyuan. She can visit her daughter every day during the morning and evening without worrying about her daughter being bullied.
Although Tu Jiaojiao thought so, she still reminded Xie Rou several times out of worry.
It was not until the old lady sent someone to urge her that she rolled her eyes in annoyance and personally sent Xie Rou to Songheyuan.
Songheyuan had already prepared a room for Xie Rou, which was right next to Xie You.
Xie You originally lived with her biological mother, but not long ago, Xie Jia suddenly eloped, which made the old lady very angry.
She was worried that Xie You would learn bad things, so she asked Xie You to move to Songheyuan, and planned to teach her the rules herself and find a good marriage for her.
Even though Xie You was only a concubine's daughter and could not marry better than Xie Jia, the old lady did not want to waste a granddaughter in vain.
Even if she is married to those poor scholars who have the potential to pass the imperial examination, she can become a good helper in the future.
For this reason, the old lady would never allow Xie You to learn bad things, and would not allow Chen Fang to interfere.
Tu Jiaojiao didn't care how the old lady wanted to arrange Xie You. Anyway, she didn't like anyone in the Xie family.
Although Xie You looked nice, she had been indifferent to the term "sister-in-law" ever since she found out what Xie Jia had done.
Who knows if Xie You looks honest on the surface but is actually treacherous?
This person was able to grow up safely under Chen Fang's nose. Tu Jiaojiao didn't believe that she would be a good person.
So when she saw Xie You coming out from next door and learned that she lived next door to Xie Rou, Tu Jiaojiao became extremely alert and wanted to pack up Xie Rou and take her back immediately.
Xie Rou squeezed her hand calmly, then bowed to Xie You with a smile on her face, and said crisply, "It turns out that my aunt lives next door. That's great! This way, Rou'er will have company in the future."
When she said this, her smile turned shy again. "It's just that Rou'er used to live in the countryside and doesn't quite understand the rules here in the capital. If there's anything I'm not careful about, I hope you can point it out and give Rou'er some advice in private."
Xie You smiled gently, his eyes filled with kindness. "We're all family, Rou'er, don't be shy. When you live here, feel free to ask me if you have any questions. I will tell you everything I know and will never let outsiders bully you."
Xie Rou thanked her happily and soon started chatting with her, and their relationship became much closer.
Seeing this, Tu Jiaojiao had no choice but to personally take people to move Xie Rou's luggage in. By the way, she carefully checked all the rooms to make sure there was nothing wrong. Only then did she feel relieved.
When she went out, she saw Xie Rou looking at Xie You with starry eyes, like a little fangirl.
She walked over and listened for a while, and found that Xie Rou was asking about Xie You's preferences, so she tentatively asked Xie You about the preferences of other people in the Xie family.
Xie You really told everything he knew, and he spoke slowly and gently, looking very well-mannered.
Tu Jiaojiao couldn't help but think of her mother Liu Zhichun. Because her family was poor, Liu Zhichun was sold to the palace by her parents to be a maid.
She was once curious and asked her mother about her life in the palace, but her mother never refused to tell her.
But she could see that her mother was very well behaved and her hands were extremely beautifully maintained. She was definitely not a low-level palace maid.
She also heard people say that her mother was born with a pale face and thin body, but when she came back, she became very beautiful and people could not recognize her.
Now looking at Xie You who was talking so eloquently, Tu Jiaojiao couldn't help but shook her head in her heart: Although Xie You had learned the rules very well, he was still far behind his mother.
It turns out that people who have been in the palace are different.
I don’t know if she will have the chance to visit the palace in the future.
The emperor's residence must have been magnificent, right? Perhaps even the emperor's bedroom was paved with gold.
Tu Jiaojiao secretly complained in her heart.
But she was still thinking about Xie Ying and Xie Di, so she sat for a while and watched Xie Rou handle things very well and get along very well with Xie You.
So after listening to the preferences of everyone in the Xie Mansion, she took Xie Rou to pay a visit to the old lady, then sat for a while and returned to Xiaoxiang Courtyard.
I found Xie Xiu and repeated what Xie You said.
Xie Xiu listened silently, then raised a meaningful smile: "Chen Fang has always been very tolerant of sand in her eyes, and Xie Jia has that kind of personality. Xie You's situation in the mansion will not be good.
She deliberately told you so much, probably to show her goodwill. She is already not young, and Xie Jia did that kind of thing, so she will naturally put more thought into her marriage.
Tu Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh: "She is a pitiful person."
Xie Xiu laughed sarcastically, "No matter how bad she is, she's still a daughter of the Xie family. If anyone is pitiful, then those servants who were born into slavery are more pitiful."
Tu Jiaojiao suddenly thought of Feicui yesterday. A good person was pushed out to take the blame and lost his life in the blink of an eye. He was indeed much more pitiful than Xie You.
She immediately became alert and whispered, "If she wants a good marriage, she will inevitably have to please Chen Fang. I have to tell Rou'er to be careful with her!"
Xie Xiu nodded. "It's right to be cautious, but there's no need to offend her openly. Just reciprocate. Treat her the way she treats us."
The two discussed how to renovate Xiaoxiang Courtyard, and then became busy again.
In less than half a month, Xiaoxiang Courtyard was completely renovated, and the dead flowers and trees were replaced with new ones. The house, which had originally been dilapidated and deserted like a haunted house, gradually became lively again.
Xie Ying felt the extra poisonous flowers and weeds in the yard and felt that she couldn't take advantage of this opportunity for nothing, so she politely gave Chen Fang and Bai Yuzhu a return gift.
