Xie Xiuwen's worries are not unreasonable, otherwise Xie Ronglan would not have come to the capital with an unfamiliar cousin.
Think about a few years ago, when Xie Ronglan was just that old, wasn't he being encouraged to come to the capital?
If Xie Ronglan had not seen the prosperity of the capital, he might have stopped thinking about finding a wife in the capital. But once he had seen it, how could he be willing to go back to his hometown to live as an ordinary citizen?
In fact, the several marriages that Mrs. Xie found for her were not bad, and two of them were talented scholars.
However, Xie Ronglan disliked her poor family background and was always worried that she would have to work hard and support her husband's family after getting married, so she was unhappy.
Xie Xiuwen originally despised this niece. Compared with Xie Rongrong's bad intentions that could be seen through at a glance, this niece was even more annoying.
The thoughts are too deep and I have to guard against it.
Xie Ronglan was at peace for two days, but Zhao Ying and Zhao Heng came over with a lot of good things, which made Xie Ronglan think twice.
"Mommy, I just heard some noise. It seems that Sister Zhao went to the front yard? I wonder if some distinguished guests are here, or maybe they are relatives?"
What Xie Ronglan asked was nonsense. What relatives did the Xie family have in the capital?
She just wanted to know who the big shot was.
"Miss Lan, this is a matter for the masters. I don't dare to ask too many questions."
Xie Ronglan was hit with a soft nail. Not only was she not angry, but she smiled and said: "It's not mine anymore. I have been in the courtyard for two days since I came to the capital. I originally wanted to talk to Sister Zhao today, but I didn't think so." I saw her going to the front yard, so I asked too much, and grandma just pretended that I hadn't mentioned it."
The rough lady smiled but didn't reply.
Xie Ronglan's expression changed when she turned around.
But even a servant guarding the door dared to look down on her!
Xie Ronglan is served by a rough lady and a little maid in this courtyard. Even though there are only two servants, the courtyard is small, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing. Everything has been arranged, so the two servants When people are waiting here, they have a lot of free time.
When Xie Ronglan came here on the first day, she thought it was pretty good. After all, in her hometown, she and Xie Rongrong lived in the same courtyard and shared a little maid.
When she came to the capital, she lived in a place of her own. The courtyard was more spacious than the one in her hometown, and she could manage two servants by herself. She felt extremely proud, and she thought that she had done the right thing by coming to the capital. .
But when she accidentally learned last night that there were six of Xie Rongzhao's servants waiting in the courtyard, she felt that she had been neglected.
However, she was able to keep her composure. She had just arrived in the capital, and since she was not the biological daughter of her second uncle and second aunt, she couldn't ask for too much, so she had been keeping to herself these past two days.
There was movement in front of her today, which made her feel itchy in her heart, as she was afraid that she would miss another dignitary.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xie Rongzhao heard people talking and laughing outside, so he quickly arranged his clothes, took some embroidered handkerchiefs that he had prepared a long time ago, and walked out.
The gatekeeper glanced at her and said nothing. As long as she didn't go out of the second door, they were not in charge of her. And looking at Miss Lan's intentions, it was clear that she wanted to curry favor with her, so naturally she wouldn't stop her.
Xie Rongzhao and Zhao Ying had just sat down in the house, and before the hot tea was served, they heard Xie Ronglan's voice coming from outside the house.
"Sister Zhao, are you in the house? I made a few embroidered patterns and brought them to you to see."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone opened the curtain and entered the room.
At this time, Xie Rongzhao and Zhao Ying were both leaning on the soft couch, with their shoes neatly placed on the footstool. They both looked at Xie Ronglan who had just entered the room.
Xie Ronglan glanced at the strange lady who was very well-dressed, and then deliberately made a surprised expression.
"I didn't expect my sister to have guests here, but I disturbed her."
As Xie Ronglan said this, he blessed himself as a salute.
Zhao Ying originally wanted to get up and return the courtesy, but Xie Rongzhao stopped her, "They are all our sisters, sister Ying doesn't need to be polite."
Xie Rongzhao winked, and Chen Xia invited Xie Ronglan to sit on a chair nearby.
"Sister Lan just said she brought the embroidered handkerchief. What does it look like? Come and bring it to me and take a look!"
Xie Ronglan quickly took out the things, and Chen Xia turned to the kang table over there.
Xie Rongzhao and Zhao Ying only took a glance at it. The embroidery work was just average, not very good, so they didn't pay much attention.
Xie Ronglan said flatteringly: "I know my sister is looking for begonia flowers, so I specially embroidered a few flowers. However, my sister's red color may not be so exquisite, but it makes my sister laugh."
Xie Ronglan's words were originally out of self-effacement. When she was a popular actress in her hometown, she was often praised by others, which made her feel a little elated, always thinking how good her embroidery work was.
It's just that the people sitting here today are Xie Rongzhao and Zhao Ying, so naturally she can't expect the feedback she wants.
Zhao Ying spoke up first: "So, does Sister Zhao like Begonia flowers? This is the first time I've heard of it. So how can you say you don't like the Golden Begonia flower that Brother Wang gave you last time?"
This was clearly a joke.
Xie Rongzhao glanced at her helplessly: "You are talking nonsense again! Is that a gift for me? He obviously won the lottery and didn't want people to say he was stingy, so he asked me if I wanted it. Besides, I already have a fiancé, so what? Can you still accept things from other foreign men?"
Zhao Ying chuckled: "Sister Zhao just likes to think nonsense. I see that Wang Yanqing doesn't have that intention. He just wants to be good to you. He doesn't want to be compared with your brothers!"
Wang Yanqing has always regarded himself as Xie Rongzhao's brother. Almost everyone in their circle knows this. However, Xie Rongzhao has several real blood brothers, so Wang Yanqing usually competes with them openly and covertly.
Xie Rongzhao rolled his eyes at Zhao Ying and once again focused his attention on these embroidered handkerchiefs.
"It's not easy for Sister Lan to make handkerchiefs. I don't lack this here, so you should keep it for yourself. Besides, my female idols are not very good. If I accept yours, I won't be able to prepare any gifts in return. Instead, my mother-in-law scolded me for being unruly."
Xie Rongzhao said this beautifully. He didn't say that he didn't like it, he just said that he couldn't accept it. He also used the reason that he was a female celebrity and couldn't return the gift, which could be regarded as saving some face for Xie Ronglan.
As expected, Xie Ronglan didn't understand what she meant. She really thought that her female celebrity was much better than Xie Rongzhao's. What she said didn't make Zhao Ying's jaw drop.
"Sister Zhao, why are you being polite to me? There is no need for a gift in return. If Sister Zhao's embroidery is not good, I can teach you. Apart from other things, it's just embroidery of flowers and birds. I still know how good it is. So fresh." (End of chapter)
