Gu Ruosu stayed in Xie Hao'an's house for several days, fearing that something would happen to Xie Hao'an, and for the first time, Xie Ruqing did not stop Gu Ruosu, but silently moved her food, clothing and supplies to Xie Hao'an's house.
The husband and wife have been working together to take care of Xie Haoan these days. They keep an eye on everything and carefully consider whether the food and clothing expenses are appropriate. They even do the feeding and tasting of soup and medicine with their own hands. They saw the two ancestors above doing so well. Heart, the whole government was more serious and attentive to work, and each room also delivered supplements to Xie Haoan's room like free water. Just half a month later, Xie Haoan recovered at an astonishing speed. The state of being unable to move while lying on the bed turned into being able to slowly get out of bed and walk with the help of others.
Hearing the good news that Xie Haoan was able to walk, the whole family was really happy. However, the purpose of joy in each room was different. In order to maintain the positive energy of the sun, let's talk about two families. The purpose of joy is the simplest.
"Oh, thanks to the blessing of a real Bodhisattva, your brother-in-law can finally go to the ground. In the past half month, your grandparents have been worried about your brother-in-law day and night. Your father and I are both afraid that your brother-in-law is not recovered yet. , your grandparents fell ill first..." Mr. Wei sat on the bed, holding an unfinished embroidered handkerchief in his hand, and said to Xie Yihua while embroidering.
"My uncle is the old son of my grandmother and grandfather. It hurts my heart. I heard that my uncle had a headache when he was a child, and my grandmother was very nervous. What's more, he was beaten this time. Grandma It’s the result of being more attentive.” Xie Yihua stood in front of the desk and said while trying his best to teach Xie Yimian how to draw red.
"That's right, there are so many children in the family, and your uncle is the only one born by your grandmother. The one born by you must be careful. If you are born by someone else, even if you kiss again, there will still be a layer of belly between them..." Wei Before he finished speaking, Xie Yihua frowned and interrupted: "Mother! Be careful! What nonsense are you talking about? Grandmother is the wife of the grandfather and the aunt of the father. Although she is not a biological child, the grandmother has no respect for the father. More than half of the mistreatment, food and clothing, warmth in winter and coolness in summer are less concerned than the biological mother. Now, which uncle, uncle, aunt, and aunt in the whole family are not sincerely filial to my grandmother? Mother, what you say is irrelevant to me Just say this once, don’t say it again.”
"If your father hears about you one day, he will definitely be angry with you. Then he will gain the prestige of Miss Pan in vain."
"I know, I know, I just won't say this. I don't know if you are the mother or I am the mother, but you still come to teach me the truth." Wei murmured in a low voice.
"mother……"
"..."
"Your brother-in-law's situation is getting better. If it gets worse, your father will move here. You can come with me to see your brother-in-law later. It's always good to show your face more." Hai Shi sat in front of the dressing table, letting the two little girls comb her hair and dress her up, while saying thank you to the daze standing behind her.
"Why am I showing my face? I'm not a doctor. How can I help my uncle treat his illness? Besides... my grandparents are all here. It's so inconvenient for me to talk to my uncle... I'll go find him when he gets better." Isn’t it good to have fun?" Xie Yi leaned on the bed boredly and said.
"You! All you want to do is play...I don't even think about how old you are. You are in your teens, and you are almost at the age to discuss marriage. Although you have a noble status and don't have to worry about getting married, there are naturally many important things to do about marriage. It's better to plan and plan. Go and walk around in front of your grandparents, maybe your marriage will end up in some Earl's or Marquis's Palace..."
"Tch... I'm really not interested in marriage. It's up to you to make the decision. As long as the family is peaceful and I'm not a bad or ugly person, I can marry anyone." Xie Yi said nonchalantly.
Hai's chest felt tight with anger and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is it appropriate for a daughter to say these things?"
"What's inappropriate about this? Could it be that you, mother, can't agree to whoever I want to marry? What if what I like is not a prince or a general but an ordinary trafficker and a pawn?"
"You...if you can have a good eye like your grandmother, and can spot talents like your grandfather at a glance, even if he is a trafficker who has not yet made a fortune, I will admit it. It is not easy for our family to praise someone, but I I’m afraid you’re looking for a piece of shit.”
"You should learn more from people who live in four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. You can spend the whole day being filial in front of your grandmother, making your grandmother smile from ear to ear. Even your grandfather praises you a lot. You might as well just raise one in front of your grandmother." Although I don’t have any feelings yet, people’s hearts are full of flesh, and no matter how hard you try, I can’t help you.”
"But my uncle likes me. I was brought up by my uncle. No one can compare with me in this friendship! My uncle is my grandmother's heart and soul. I am also my uncle's heart and soul. Rounding it off, I am my grandparents. My darling~Besides, where in the world can the prime minister’s daughter be worried about getting married, and she won’t be afraid of making people laugh to death~”
"If you want to rush to please grandma, go ahead. I won't go. I can't learn to be pretentious~" After saying that, he thanked him and ran out without hearing what Heide said behind him:
"If you can, don't go there in your life. If I find you climbing through the window to see your uncle again at night, I will lock you in the house!"
When Haishi finally left the house, he still couldn't express his gratitude, but in line with the principle of being familiar with others, after thinking about it, he remembered that his eldest brother's girl was in his house recently. Above, only myself and Xie Haowen have been focusing on Xie Haoan these days, but they have neglected this little girl. After all, she is the niece of her mother's family, and she is also the child left by her deceased sister-in-law. What should I say? She is also the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, with a distinguished status, and she is matched with Xie Hao'an, the brother-in-law, so she can be regarded as a good match. If she gets a chance to meet her today, she, as an elder, will look after her.
So, Haishi asked his servant Haosheng to dress up the girl from the Hai family. Then he took several maids and servants and countless nourishing supplements and beauty products, and a group of people went to gather blessings. After going to the Zhai Zhai, it happened that several ladies from the second, third and fourth bedrooms were also waiting at the door of Jufu Zhai. Haishi, the daughter-in-law of the third and fourth family first saw the gift, then looked at Songshi, and finally said ruthlessly He smiled cruelly and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw my second younger brother and sister. They both seem to have lost a lot of weight."
"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I got sick during the recent cold spring, and I'm much better now. Sister-in-law, my illness has been cured?" No one knew what Song was thinking in her heart, but her face was full of smiles and expressions. Very concerned.
Both of them are decent people, and the conversation between them is quite harmonious.
"We have been talking for so long, why haven't you introduced the little girl behind you to us? She looks so confused, where did she come from?"
"This is my eldest brother's niece. Her name is Hai Pingting. She is my eldest brother's direct daughter. She is the most docile. A few days ago, my mother and eldest brother took people back to my hometown to worship their ancestors. This little girl happened to be sick. , I didn’t go, so I came to stay with me for a few days. I have a companion with Si’er. Now that she is well, I thought that I haven’t taken her out to have a good look. No, today is a good time, so we can just be together. The son was brought out."
"Pingting of the Hai family has met the second lady Xie, the third lady Xie, the fourth lady Xie, and the younger sister of the Xie family."
"No gifts, this little girl is really a sign~"
"They say nieces are like aunts. Our little girl is as handsome as our elder sister-in-law~"
They were all smart people. Seeing the girl from the Hai family born with such a sign, they immediately knew what the Hai family had planned. However, they did not tell the truth. Instead, they all praised the girl from the Hai family a few words, not for anything else. , just in case, if this girl really flies up a branch and becomes a phoenix, then this girl's status will be different.
The group of people waited at the door for a while, and then saw Dark Green and Brown Tang coming out of the house. The group hurriedly greeted them, exchanged a few words, and then were hidden into the room by Dark Green and Brown Tang.
There is a small bookcase in the middle of the room, and several volumes of books are placed on the bookcase. Next to the books is a purple gold auspicious animal incense burner, which exudes a faint fragrance. There are several newly picked plants in the white jade vase under the bead curtain. The pale pink peach blossoms that came back looked particularly delicate with the morning dew. There was a bamboo couch and rocking chair placed near the window. A large white fox fur blanket was spread on the bamboo couch. Gu Ruosu was half-lying on the couch. Behind him is Xie Ruqing, who is reading a book. A lake-colored silk goose down quilt is half covered in front of him. There is a table in front of the couch, with a complete set of tea sets and some exquisite and delicious snacks placed on the table. , and at this moment Xie Haoan is sitting on the rocking chair drinking tea, feeling very comfortable.
When the Hai family and Song family entered the door, they bowed to Xie Ruqing and Gu Ruosu, followed by the two juniors Hai Pingting and Xie Yihua. Haishi and his group sat down one by one. After they were seated, Haishi was the first to speak: "The sun is nice today, and I can see that my uncle's complexion has improved a lot. My uncle has suffered a lot this time. Fortunately, there is nothing serious now." hinder."
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for your concern. I am much better now. I have to thank my elder brother for the many treasures that I have received so that my appearance can recover so quickly." The bruises and swelling on Xie Haoan's face have dissipated a lot, and her appearance has improved. She has recovered to seven or eight points of her former self, only some of the deeply injured areas have not healed yet, but the flaws cannot hide the beauty, and Xie Haoan's stunning appearance cannot be concealed.
"This is what your eldest brother should do. Your eldest brother loves you the most, my uncle. Why should my family speak the same language?" Haishi said.
"It's just that my mother is tired. It's all my fault that my daughter-in-law doesn't live up to expectations. I can't share more of my mother's worries."
Gu Ruosu, who was suddenly questioned: [confused] "Huh? It's easy to talk, easy to talk, easy to talk to. Your housekeeper is already very tired. Your husband has already done his best on Xiaoliu's affairs. It's enough for the husband and wife to do their best."
"Thank you, mother, for your consideration. My daughter-in-law is really grateful for her mother's consideration. In the future, my daughter-in-law will serve her mother well and never cause her mother any more distress."
Haishi had never found a chance to apologize to Gu Ruosu for the previous incident. This time it was rare to get together, so he hurriedly seized the opportunity.
Mrs. Song was not stupid either. She immediately expressed her apology and filial piety not to be outdone. She only mentioned her children overtly and covertly, quite a bit like a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.
Gu Ruosu was really impatient with these two people's expressions of filial piety. She waved her hands and said, "Okay, okay, the sun is nice today. Why don't you leave early and take the little girls and boys to play?" Come on, don’t stay here as an old man like me."
"What did grandma say? As long as grandma is willing, let Yihua stay with grandma every day. Yihua is also willing. It is obvious that grandma thinks there are too many of us and wants to send me away."
Xie Yihua saw that his mother couldn't say a word for a long time, only smiled in apology, sighed inwardly, and then seizing the opportunity, he walked to Gu Ruosu's side, knelt under Gu Ruosu's knees, and said playfully.
"You girl, I asked them to go back, but I didn't say not to let you stay. It just so happened that you stayed with me. Your grandfather read every day, and your brother-in-law didn't dare to be presumptuous, but he bored me to death." Gu Ruosu Said with a smile.
"Mother, do you dislike the child? The child is cultivating his moral character~"
Gu Ruosu: "Oh~ Then go to the study with your father to study. I'll see how long you can practice."
Xie Haoan: [嘤嘤嘤, mother doesn’t love me anymore...]
"Grandma, let's go to the countryside to fly kites when my uncle gets better later. A few days ago, my father, Xiu Mu, took me and my brothers and sisters there, which was quite interesting."
"Flying kites? What's so fun about that? You just fly a few kites, and you have to run around. How tiring it is." Gu Ruosu said reluctantly.
"But there was a stream where my father took us that day, and there were some fish and shrimp in the stream. I asked my brothers to catch some and simply grilled them, but they felt extremely delicious."
"That's good~ Wild fish tastes better than farmed fish. Then wait for your uncle later and we can go together~"
"Okay, as long as grandma is willing, I can go anytime~"
"..."
"..."
Gu Ruosu talked a lot with Xie Yihua again. Xie Yihua was eloquent and made Gu Ruosu very happy. Seeing Gu Ruosu's rare smile, Xie Ruqing was also quite happy, but she didn't care much about Xie Yihua's hidden thoughts. , on the contrary, he praised her a few times, and asked her how old she was, what books she had read, and what talents she had acquired. Finally, she ordered Brown Tang to give Xie Yihua a camellia post that Xie Haoda had sent earlier.
Xie Yihua's face showed joy. This was the first time she had received such an important post in such a long time since she had been in the capital. However, the sudden surprise did not go to Xie Yihua's mind. After receiving the post, Xie Yihua gave Xie Ruqing a slight blessing and said : “Thank you Grandpa, Grandpa, this post is for me to go alone, or can I take my sisters at home with me?
"What's the difference?" Xie Ruqing couldn't help but look at Xie Yihua and asked.
"If I was the only one to go, and my sisters at home were not allowed to go, Yihua felt that it would be a bit futile and unrewarded, so I couldn't accept my grandfather's invitation. But if the sisters could go together, Yihua would like to go with them. And I am deeply grateful to my grandfather.”
"Why do you want to go with the sisters? If there is a deep love between sisters, there is no need to come back to me. You have only been back in Beijing for a few months. I don't believe in the deep love between sisters."
Wei's heart was already in her throat at this moment, and she was constantly dissatisfied with her daughter for being "smart". Posts followed, and she was caring about others, so this time it's okay... and she got burned!
Xie Yihua naturally felt the gazes and gazes from all sides, and could not help but feel a little nervous in his heart, but after a moment, he calmly blessed his body and said: "I can't write two words of thank you in one stroke. The Xie family are all blood relatives." , Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. When everything is prosperous, everything is damaged. Yihua just wants the sisters to be well together with me."
When Xie Ruqing heard this answer, he didn't say anything for a while, but just stared at Xie Yihua. At this time, everyone in the room was sitting and waiting for Xie Ruqing's reaction. Finally, when Xie Yihua was about to be unable to hold on, Xie Ruqing relaxed. He laughed and said, "This post was brought by your aunt, and the tea party was also hosted by your aunt. If you are willing, you can take it all with you to your family's banquet."
"Yes, thank you grandpa."
"Well, sit back and spend more time with your grandmother when you have time."
Xie Yihua said something again, and then sat back in his seat under the complicated gazes of all parties.
"Whose girl is that? Why haven't I seen it before?" Gu Ruosu originally planned to praise Xie Yihua more, but found that there was a girl sitting next to Xie Yihua whom she had never met before, so she changed the subject and asked.
Haishi was overjoyed when she saw that her niece had finally been noticed. She quickly pulled someone over and pulled her in front of Gu Ruosu. He said with a smile, "To tell my mother, this is the legitimate daughter of the daughter-in-law's eldest brother. She has always been gentle and quiet. This time She is sick and has come to stay at our house for a few days. She has been here for a while, but she was afraid that her illness would pass on to her, so she did not bring her to her. Now that she is well, she thought of bringing her to her parents to see her."
"Come on, salute quickly."
"My daughter, Haishi Pingting, has met the Duke and his wife. I would like to express my gratitude to the Sixth Master. I wish the Duke and his wife a long life and good health, and I would like to thank the Sixth Master for a long life and good health." Hai Pingting knelt down on the ground and performed a full prayer. present.
"Get up." Gu Ruosu called.
"Thank you, madam."
Hai Pingting slowly stood up and stood behind Haishi with a low eyebrow. Haishi glanced at Hai Pingting, pulled her forward without leaving a trace, walked over to where Xie Haoan was and said: "Father and mother, please don't be surprised. Although my niece from my mother's side has a gentle temper, she has never seen much of the world. It is the first time I see my father and mother today, so it is inevitable that I will be a little timid."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This little girl looks very well-mannered and her appearance is quite iconic. The more you look at her, the better she looks."
Gu Ruosu's evaluation is very pertinent. Hai Pingting is indeed not a stunning beauty with a thick face and willow eyebrows, nor does she have particularly outstanding facial features or an aloof temperament. But for some reason, the combination of ordinary facial features on Hai Pingting's face makes her look... But it makes people look particularly comfortable, and Hai Pingting has a bookish air around her, which is more comfortable than the otherworldly "fairy air". It is pleasing to the eye, and even more like Hai Pingting after looking at it for a long time. Pingtingsheng’s logo is beautiful.
"My natal niece is reaching the age of hair growth. My brother is still trying to drag me to find a good family for my niece. However, my daughter-in-law is short-sighted and not as well-informed as my mother. I wonder if my mother is willing to give her a favor. How about introducing a few families to your wife." As he said that, Haishi couldn't help but look at Xie Hao'an.
Haishi's purpose is almost obvious. It is Sima Zhao's intention and everyone knows it. Even Ru Shi, who is the most calm, can't help but wonder in his heart: "Haishi is the sixth master's sister-in-law, and Hai Pingting is the sister-in-law of Liu Ye." Haishi's biological niece. Haishi wants to introduce her niece to her brother-in-law? What was she thinking? Let's not talk about the generation gap between the two people. She also didn't think about whether a legitimate daughter who was wasted by her stepmother could be worthy of the sixth master of the Xie family who was held in the palm of her hand. ]
"Well... I really don't have any good candidates... How about... we... have a blind date party?"
Gu Ruosu understood what Haishi meant, but it was not that she disliked Haishi's niece. It was just that his precious son had no interest in the girl at the first sight. From the moment the girl came in until now, except for a glance when she was just saluting, he only looked after her. To eat, I guess in his eyes, this stack of pastries is more popular than Hai Pingting's.
But she couldn't refuse Haishi directly. After all, Haishi's husband Xie Haowen had been doing his best to her and Xie Hao'an these days. He sent all good things here and stayed at Xie Hao'an's place right after court. If she and Xie Ruqing hadn't stopped her, she would probably be able to sleep here at night, and she would have to be grateful.
Therefore, Gu Ruosu thought about it in her mind, and finally found a good compromise among the many costume dramas she had watched in the past, which was to hold a blind date banquet. Firstly, she could go there and have fun, and secondly, she could also solve the problem. The urgent need right now is really the best of both worlds~
"Well, Madam, you are right, let's hold a polo match. The snow has melted in early spring and the grass has grown in the pasture. The boys and girls in our family are not too young at all. Go ahead." Xie Ruqing said as if assisting.
"Polo club?! Really!" Gu Ruosu looked a little excited. She had liked watching TV dramas where the male and female protagonists ride horses and whips since she was a child, but after traveling here, she never had the chance to experience it, and she remembered The original owner is also a good polo player, but I don’t know if she can perfectly inherit the attributes of the original owner, but even if she can’t inherit it, it doesn’t matter. Watching others play polo live is also a kind of enjoyment~
"Hmm~ Really, I will ask people to choose a place later and prepare related matters. There are also some good horses in the West Market. I will ask people to buy them later. What do you think?"
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, then I also want colorful silks, fresh fruits, and seasonal flowers. I want a different polo club~"
"Okay, whatever you want is fine. How about you take care of it yourself this time? I'll let Brown Tang realize that they are here to help you. If you need anything, just ask them to help you."
"Really~ I'll do it~ But I've never... cough cough cough... I haven't held such a banquet in a long time..."
"It's okay. I'm here for everything. Just do whatever you want. I believe in you." Xie Ruqing's tone was very doting, but her words were very certain, and her beautiful eyes were staring straight at her. Gu Ruosu's eyes were full of trust.
"Hmm... okay... I'll give it a try. You have to... get more people to help me..." Gu Ruosu thought twice in her heart and finally agreed.
The couple settled the matter with just a few words, and everyone naturally agreed with their hands. Among them, Haishi was even more happy to help her mother-in-law. After all, it didn't matter whether her niece would succeed or not. Everyone would be happy if it didn't work, she thought it was harmless, and her daughter was her heart and soul. This time the polo club would definitely invite outstanding children from various families to come, maybe... they could capture it for her precious daughter. A good son-in-law is back.
