Chapter 78 An old nemesis sets his sights on Xie Rou
Xie Ying had a plan, and suddenly she felt her whole body was unblocked.
However, before they could do anything, Tu Jiaojiao took her to Songheyuan where the old master and the old lady lived.
It turned out that the two elders learned that they had returned home and decided to have a reunion dinner to celebrate.
Xie Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She didn't have a good impression of the two old guys. When the Xie family lived in the countryside, they could barely be considered a family that passed down the tradition of farming and studying, and they didn't live a rich life.
It was only after Xie Yun married Luo Sheng, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and Luo Sheng brought a large dowry, that the Xie family's life became better.
It was also because of Luo Sheng's dowry that Xie Yun was able to study under a famous teacher and eventually become the top scorer in the imperial examination.
Poor Luo Sheng spent money and effort on him, served her parents-in-law wholeheartedly, managed the business, and helped her husband to a successful career. However, her husband, in order to climb up the social ladder, destroyed her family.
The two old men in the Xie family received filial piety from their daughter-in-law, but for the sake of profit, they chose to become accomplices.
During the years that Xie Xiu disappeared, they continued to serve as the old master and old lady in the Xie Mansion, enjoying all the wealth and splendor. But had they ever worried about whether Xie Xiu was dead or alive, or how he was doing?
Now that they are back, they try to pretend to be kind and don't even think it's disgusting.
Xie Ying complained all the way, but she did not forget to observe her surroundings.
I have to say that the scenery of Xie Mansion is quite good, and the house is built very elegantly. It does not have red walls and green tiles, carved beams and painted rafters. It looks simple but not crude.
This is also consistent with Xie Yun's identity as a Hanlin scholar.
A man of his status values a noble and elegant appearance. If his house is built to be extravagant and magnificent, it would be inferior.
And if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the quality of both the wood and bricks used in the construction is of high quality.
Every scene is carefully designed and not randomly piled up.
This house may look simple, but it actually costs a lot.
When we arrived at Songheyuan, the situation was different again. It was obviously more magnificent than other places.
Even the maids and old women were wearing gold and jade, looking very luxurious.
When she saw the old lady and the old man, Xie Ying couldn't help but laugh.
Both of them were dressed in silk and satin, one satin was woven with many characters for "blessing" and the other was woven with many characters for "longevity". They were indeed a pair of old enemies made in heaven.
Xie Ying couldn't help but stare at the jewelry on the old lady. It was a complete set of jewelry inlaid with red gold and rubies. The rubies were of very high quality and were rare top grade.
The key point is that this set of jewelry is Luo Sheng's dowry.
Luo Sheng has been dead for many years, but the set of ruby jewelry she brought as a dowry is still worn on the old lady's head, as bright as new.
It's really ironic.
The old lady noticed her gaze and immediately hugged her in her arms and cried, "Wow, my darling, you have suffered so much. Fortunately, that vicious woman didn't succeed in the substitution, otherwise I would be heartbroken."
Xie Ying rolled her eyes in her heart because of her crying, but for the sake of revenge, she endured it!
Fortunately, the old lady hadn't cried for a while when a clear and crisp female voice came from the side and said, "Grandma, please don't cry anymore. Be careful not to hurt your eyes."
It's a good thing that my eldest brother can come back safely. My niece can be safe this time and escape the schemes of that vicious woman, which must be thanks to my grandmother's daily prayers to God.
This is the Buddha's manifestation, and also Grandmother's kindness. Grandmother should be happy."
Xie Ying looked at the person who was speaking curiously and found that it was a pretty girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was wearing a lilac dress and looked like a graceful lotus bud about to bloom. She immediately guessed her identity.
The only girls of the same age in the Xie family are Xie Jia and the concubine Xie You.
Xie Jia has eloped, so this person is naturally Xie You.
Judging from what she said just now, she is obviously good at talking.
"The child is a bit heavy, let me hold him."
When Tu Jiaojiao saw that the old lady had stopped crying, she immediately found an excuse and took Xie Ying from the old lady.
The old lady didn't know whether she was too tired to hold her or she felt that she had finished her act, so she let go very decisively and didn't hold on to Xie Ying.
Tu Jiaojiao wiped Xie Ying's face calmly and followed the girl's words, "Big sister is right. Today is a good day for us to reunite. Grandma really shouldn't cry."
When Xie Ying was sleeping, she and Xie Xiu had come to Songheyuan to pay a visit to the old master and the old lady, received rewards from them, and paid their respects to Xie You.
So when she came to have the reunion dinner this time, Tu Jiaojiao acted quite relaxed and not at all restrained.
Soon, everyone arrived except Xie Jia, Xie Yi and Xie Xin.
After everyone sat down, plates of exquisite food were placed on the table.
However, men and women sit at separate tables, separated by a screen.
Only Xie Jinrong and Xie Di were still being taken care of by women because they were too young.
Of course, Xie Ying and Xie Di are both infants and can only drink breast milk now, so they are just here to go through the motions and make up the numbers.
They were not allowed to eat any of the food on the table.
Xie Ying was drooling at the aroma of the food on the table. In order not to embarrass herself, she could only hide in Tu Jiaojiao's arms and swallow her saliva secretly.
Then we just ate melons and watched the show quietly to pass the boring dinner time.
This look really made her see a lot of interesting things.
The old lady was sitting upright, and a woman dressed in an old-fashioned manner stood beside her respectfully, serving her food from time to time.
Chen Fang sat there sickly, wearing a headband, while Xie You also stood beside her, serving her food. After Chen Fang ate for a while, she lovingly patted Xie You's hand and asked her to sit down and eat.
Sitting next to Bai Yuzhu was her daughter Xie Jinse, holding her son Xie Jinrong in her arms. She fed them from time to time, as if she didn't notice anyone else.
Although Xie Jinse is young, she is already pretty. She sits there obediently. She is four years old this year and her every move is very well-behaved. She just eats her meal quietly and doesn't look around. It is obvious that she has been taught carefully.
Xie Jinrong, who was sitting in Bai Yuzhu's arms, was a little unruly. He twisted and turned and made faces at Xie Ying from time to time, which made Xie Ying speechless.
Instead, Xie Rou sat next to Tu Jiaojiao, holding Xie Di in her arms, eating silently.
After she had almost finished eating, the old lady put down her chopsticks.
When she put down her chopsticks, others also put down their chopsticks.
Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Rou saw this and put down their chopsticks silently.
The cold reunion dinner finally ended and was about to disperse.
Chen Fang left first. She was still sick, and it was a stretch for her to come for the reunion dinner.
Bai Yuzhu followed her, saying that he was worried about her and wanted to send her back personally.
Tu Jiaojiao also wanted to leave, but the old lady kept her, and said to her lovingly, "I think Rou'er is old enough, so we should wait another two years and then we can start dating.
She has wasted so many years in the countryside and can't waste any more time. Let her stay with me and I will teach her the rules myself.
After two years of this, people will no longer be able to find fault with her, saying that she grew up in the countryside and has no manners, and that they can find a good husband for her.
Tu Jiaojiao's face darkened instantly.
