Zhao Ying didn't understand either. When she mentioned this, she was just complaining about Xie Chunhua.
"Sister Chunhua is only thirteen this year. She has to be sent to the palace at such a young age, and she doesn't know how many days she can survive."
Xie Rongzhao quickly covered her mouth, then looked around and said angrily: "Are you crazy? How dare you say such things to others?"
Zhao Ying rolled her eyes and clapped her hand: "We are just two sisters here, what can't we say?"
Xie Rongzhao was still frightened and his eyes widened: "Be careful, walls have ears. Besides, whether the palace is good or bad is not ours to talk about. Don't talk nonsense just because of Uncle Zhao's identity, so as not to bring trouble to the family."
"I know, my good sister. I'm still worried about Sister Chunhua, and I don't know if she can avoid it this time."
Xie Rongzhao's mouth twitched slightly. What's the use of worrying about this kind of thing day and night?
It was her parents who wanted to send Xie Chunhua to the palace, and no one else could say a word.
"Well, in a family like ours, marriage is the most involuntary. I'm a little better. Now that my father is famous and has the backing of the Marquis, my aunt is kind and doesn't want to sell me to benefit the Marquis. idea. But Sister Chunhua..."
Xie Rongzhao understood her thoughts. Xie Chunhua was young and his family was not prosperous. Otherwise, Xie Huaiyi would not have thought of using his female relatives to obtain divine favor.
"It doesn't matter if you are like you and have made a marriage arrangement early. If anyone comes to inquire, there is always something to stop them. Alas, I don't know what kind of family my mother wants to find for me."
Xie Rongzhao's eyes widened: "You are only ten years old, right? It's too early to think about this!"
Zhao Ying was indeed just curious and not enlightened.
The reason why she is like this is probably also affected by Xie Chunhua's incident.
"Sister Zhao, shall we go hunting for mountain mushrooms tomorrow?"
Several years have passed, and Fuyuan Mountain today is very different from before.
Perhaps because of the start of free-range poultry farming, the vegetation on this mountain is much lusher than before, and occasionally you will encounter pheasants or some beautiful birds.
Sweet potatoes, taro, etc. are also grown in some places on this mountain.
The year before last, Xie Xiuwen found alfalfa seeds from a merchant in Yibanbang, so he simply tried it on the mountain. This trial was really good. The alfalfa grew well, one after another. The village could not use up all of it, and would also allow it to be used down the mountain. The villagers came to cut the grass and feed the pigs and sheep.
Don't underestimate the alfalfa, but it makes the villagers at the foot of the mountain grateful.
After all, this thing is given for free, and people can eat the fresh and tender ones. Add meat as fillings and make dumplings or steamed buns. It is very delicious!
The alfalfa can be cut and given directly to the pigs and sheep. The meat will also benefit the family, so the villagers all say that they have a good owner.
Sometimes if you want a prosperous place, it may be that simple.
Nowadays, there are not only mountain mushrooms on the mountain, but also fungus occasionally.
But this is not the south after all. There are few types of mountain mushrooms. Xie Rongzhao has only found two or three kinds so far. The taste cannot be compared with the ones in his hometown. It is just fresh and rare.
There were six or seven dogs at Fuyuan Villa. Not long after Wang Yanqing was rescued, Zhu Weng came up with this idea. After consulting his boss, he took the puppies back and raised them. They are all strong now. Very.
Xie Rongen and Zhu Xiaoyun's favorite thing to do is to take these majestic big dogs hunting, which is so refreshing!
Wang Yanqing and Zhao Heng were also thinking about this happiness, which was why they were so happy.
The children had a great time playing in the villa, but they made Xie Ronlang and others greedy.
The husband was also a soft-hearted person, so he simply waved his hand and gave them a day off. Now the villa became even more lively, not to mention the excitement, but that's about it.
Zhu Weng was quite happy to watch the hustle and bustle in the villa. This was why he was popular. Moreover, he was still a half-grown boy, so he should be more lively. It was boring to be confined to the room and study all the time.
"Miss, young master, two carriages came down from the foot of the mountain. They said they were your friends. They learned that you were here and came to play with you. Do you see?"
Xie Rongzhao was stunned. She didn't tell anyone before leaving Beijing.
Xie Ronlang felt even more strange. He also turned to look at Sister. Now the two siblings' eyes met, and they seemed to understand.
"Did they declare their family status?"
The servant replied: "They claim to be Xie, and they say they are Xie Hanlin's nephews and nieces."
Xie Rongzhao frowned. If they were similar in age to them and were Xie Lin's nephews, they were most likely Xie Chen's children.
Xie Rongzhao also knew about the old events back then, but because of Xie Lin's kindness, and because she knew that it was not easy for her father to become an official, she was unwilling to be an enemy.
But unfortunately, the brother and sister always like to get together.
"That's all. They should know each other. Please invite them to come up."
"Yes, miss."
Xie Ronlang had already walked around her: "Sister?"
"I guess they are the children of the late Xie Chen, Xie Qing and Xie Fang, but I don't know what happened to them."
Xie Ronlang held hers with his small hand and said confidently: "Don't be afraid, this is our territory."
Xie Rongzhao smiled: "Yes, this is our home, don't be afraid!"
Xie Chen and Xie Xiuwen were similar in age, but they got married earlier. This was mainly because he had always been uneasy in the capital and worried that he would not be able to establish himself. Therefore, he arranged for his mother to help him find a marriage early, and they got married at the age of sixteen. He became a father at the age of seventeen. Only then did he feel that he had established a firm foothold in the capital and no longer feared.
It's just a pity that he had evil intentions after all, and he died early before he really entered the official position to let the Xie family see his value.
Xie Rongzhao knew the inside story, but he was wondering whether the brother and sister also knew the inside story?
If the two brothers and sisters hate their own family because of this, there will be endless troubles in the future.
Xie Qing is older and polite, while Xie Fang is young and always thinks she has a good family background, so she always looks down on Xie Rongzhao. In fact, she doesn’t want to think about how you can be so noble if your biological father died young and you are just a commoner. ?
After all, I still feel that I was born into the Xie family in the capital, and my biological mother is the daughter of a capital official, so I feel a bit arrogant.
It's a pity that my brain is not working well, and to this day, I still can't tell the difference between high and low.
"It turns out that Sister Ying is here too. I came here with my brother to check out the farm shop. I heard the name of Fuyuan Villa and wanted to come over to find out. I didn't expect you all to be here."
Xie Rongzhao didn't believe this.
She felt that the brother and sister clearly came here because of the smell.
Sure enough, Xie Qing's attention was always on Wang Yanqing and Zhao Heng, and he never talked to Xie Ronlang at all.
It was obvious that the two of them were here because they were drunk and not interested in drinking!
