69. Chapter 69
When Xie Lanyin and his party arrived in front of the Wuding Hou Mansion, scattered snowflakes had already floated in the sky.
Xie Hui took his son, who was wrapped tightly in swaddled clothes, and asked his wife softly, "Go to the hall first?"
After saying hello, the family can go back to their own yard to reunite, so as not to sit for a while and have to see their father again.
Jiang listened to her husband, and swept over her three daughters one by one, signaling them to follow her.
Xie Lanting had no expression on his face, Xie Lanqiao pursed his lips slightly, and Xie Lanyin walked between the two sisters, with the worst look.
As if you know what the daughters were thinking, after bypassing the screen wall, Xie Hui told the children in a low voice: "Your grandfather has his own difficulties in that matter. If you can't let go, you can't be satisfied in private. You should respect them in front of others. Your third uncle and aunt are fair and always care about you. You must not lose your etiquette when you get along with each other in the future."
The person who harmed him was Chen. If something happened to the eldest daughter, Xie Hui would definitely want Chen to pay his life. But now that their father and daughter are safe, Xie Hui would not want to deal with a woman anymore. His father, Xie Hui never had any expectations for him. Rather than being a father, he would rather regard his father as a teacher who taught him kung fu and tactics and was educated to him. Therefore, Xie Hui, as an outsider, could understand that he just felt sorry for the grievances his wife and daughters suffered for him.
Chen, Xie Xun, Xie Yao, and Xie Hui treated them as outsiders and never cared about them.
As for Xie Lu, the third brother who has been a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue since he was wise and thirty years old, he was more like a brother in Xie Ding's eyes. When Xie Xun was a child, he ignored him when he heard Chen's words. Xie Luze didn't know why, but he liked to pester him, his half-brother, and was scolded by Chen for many reasons. Xie Hui liked to be alone and did not want to be brothers with Xie Lu at first, but he was stung many times, but he gradually got used to a third brother beside him who was scolded by Chen's "trash" and was not like his own sister Xie Jin, who hated Chen and others.
Xie Lanting had long understood the meaning of his father, and nodded slightly at this time, his expression remained unchanged.
Xie Lanqiao had known his father's temper for a long time, so he was willing to return to the Marquis' Mansion and did not care about it. Therefore, he smiled and expressed his understanding.
Only Xie Lanyin looked at his father resentfully, and regretted that he would not be able to make a living.
Her dad is just too generous.
Xie Hui touched his little daughter's head comfortably, and his attention finally returned to his wife. He was afraid that she would feel unhappy. He lowered his voice and said, "Since she entered Beijing, she has lived alone in Jingxin Hall on the grounds of being unwell. From now on, you just think that there is no such person and you don't have to go to the morning and evening to settle down."
This was the explanation given to him by his father, and Xie Hui accepted it. After all, the reputation of the Xie family cannot be bad. The rest, as long as the wife and children do not have to look at the faces of others, and they cannot respect Chen against their will, he himself does not feel any grievance.
Jiang replied to her husband helplessly.
Her husband has a cold face all year round. People who don’t know about it think he has resentment towards Xie Ding and Chen. It’s because of dissatisfaction. Only she knows that her husband’s coldness is because of not caring. In his heart, except for their mothers, it is a major event in the court. To put it nicely, he has a broad mind and a bad voice, but he has a lack of roots in his head and doesn’t know how to care.
After a cup of tea, the whole family entered the hall in a mighty manner.
Xie Ding naturally knew the eldest son's temper, so he could continue to be father and son with the eldest son, but he didn't dare to face his daughter-in-law and three granddaughters. When he saw the figure, he stared at the ground and slowly raised his eyes after a while.
"The daughter-in-law has met her father." Jiang calmly saluted. Behind him, the three sisters Xie Lanting knelt down and called out to his grandfather in unison.
Xie Ding stared at the eldest granddaughter who almost died at the sea, his eyes were a little wet. He liked so many grandchildren, Xie Lanting, the granddaughter who inherited his martial arts skills. At this time, when he saw his granddaughter's thin little face, Xie Ding felt guilty, but he didn't know what to say. His lips moved. Finally, he looked at the two little ones next to him and said only a few polite words.
Jiang stood up and signaled the wet nurse to carry her son over to the old man to see.
Xie Ding's eyes lit up. He took the youngest grandson who didn't know what he did. He opened the cradle and saw clearly that the white and fat little guy with big black eyes turned inside. Finally, he smiled and said with relief: "Jinbei looks like his father, but he is smart enough to follow his mother. He must be smart when he grows up."
"I want to see my brother, too!"
A delicate child voice sounded. Xie Lanyin looked over and saw Xie Lanbao, the youngest sixth girl in the Xie family, running over from the third lady excitedly. The little girl was only nine years old, wearing a pink bun, with a pair of macaques on her head, and a pink peony silk flower between the bun. Her white and red face was chubby. She trembled slightly when she ran. Her little mouth was grinning, and there was a dimples on the corner of her mouth. In a blink of an eye, she came to her grandfather and looked down at her cousin with her grandfather.
The third lady followed with a smile, softly greeted Jiang, reached out and pulled her little daughter over, pointed at Jiang and said, "Don't rush to see my younger brother, Lan Bao hasn't called her aunt yet."
Xie Lanbao looked up at Jiang, and called out to Auntie shyly, and then he suddenly opened his mouth and yawned.
The third lady tapped her gently as a reminder.
Xie Lanbao was extremely aggrieved and rubbed his eyes and explained, "Grandfather lied to someone and said that the eldest aunt would arrive in a while. As a result, I sat for half an hour and took a nap and wanted to sleep." As he said that, his head turned to his cousins. When he saw Xie Lanting, the little girl shrank a little, and when she saw Xie Lanqiao, she obviously relaxed a lot. When she saw the most beautiful Xie Lanyin, the little girl's eyes lit up suddenly. She asked her curiously: "Are you the fifth sister?"
The third wife of the Xie family went to Beijing five years ago, so Xie Lanyin had a deal with the third wife and a family of five. In my memory, the four-year-old Xie Lanbao was lazy and greedy and liked to sleep the most. When the family watched the show, she was always carried back by the third wife. Such a lazy person was simply bullied and was often fooled by Xie Lanwei from the big house, but soon she was revenge by Xie Lanyue, who was protecting her sister in the third wife.
Among the three girls, if neither of them likes one person, they will be more likely to be friends.
Thinking of interesting childhood events, Xie Lanyin couldn't help but look at Xie Lanyue, a girl who was only a few months older than her, who was smiling and walking over there. When she met her playful almond eyes, Xie Lanyin smiled back and lowered her head to touch Lanbao's head, "How did Lanbao know that I am the fifth sister?"
Does the little girl actually remember her?
Xie Lanbao smiled and looked at his sister and said, "Sister said that the shortest girl in our family is the fifth sister!"
When Xie Lanyin heard the "best", she thought the description that followed would be beautiful. She never expected it to be short. She was dissatisfied and walked to Xie Lanyue in three or two steps, looked at her head, and asked Xie Lanbao again: "Look at it again, which of us is taller!"
Both her father and mother are taller than her third uncle and third aunt, how could she be shorter than Xie Lanyue, who is the same age?
Xie Lanyue looked at her and quietly tiptoed, but was exposed by her own sister with a smirk.
The two sisters in the house were kissing each other, and Xie Lanwei clenched her hands in anger. She couldn't figure out why her cousin prefers outsiders. Tang Zhan, who had been standing silently beside his uncle, had his eyes on Xie Lanyue after entering the house, with bright black eyes.
Xie Lanyue felt something and looked at the man without dodging. Her face turned red and she quietly hid behind her good sister Xie Lanyin.
