Some people and some things are always better than meeting.

For example, when Lord Ning is to Xie Moru, not to mention the superficiality of his appearance, he first looks at his appearance. Even during the imperial examination, he also has four levels of appearance: A, B, C and D. Lord Ning is born in a Tanhua, and his appearance is not to mention his appearance. He is rare to be taller than Mrs. Ning, and his appearance is a hundred times stronger than Mrs. Ning. It is even more rare to recognize her, but he is still different and calm and self-control.

From this we can see that the affairs of Aunt Ning were just a trivial matter in Lord Ning’s heart, and it had not yet fallen into the eyes of this adult, nor did it fall into the heart of this adult.

Of course, it is also possible that this adult is good at hiding his thoughts or is in a rushing state of mind, but he is not known to others.

Regardless of the possibility, Lord Ning is an extremely powerful person.

There were many things in the past year, and the uncle and nephew did not talk much. The manager had already come to ask Xie Bai to go to the study room outside. Xie Moru handed the letter to the maid and took it back to the Dujuanyuan, and went straight to the Songbaiyuan. Seeing that it was not yet lunch time, Mrs. Xie laughed, "Why are you back so soon?"

Xie Moru said, "I think my family is busy now, and my second uncle needs to work together with the two mansions to pick up good books, so I came back with my second uncle."

Mrs. Xie said with a slight head, "Big sister, has anyone recognized you as a girl?" Hanlin Academy is the imperial court.

"I don't know, no one said in front of me." Xie Moru said, "Grandma, I'll go back to change my clothes first. If nothing happens, I'll come over after lunch."

Mrs. Xie nodded, "Go."

Xie Moru said to Mrs. Xie, "Grandmother, can I also ask the maid to make me a boy's robe like the big sister?"

"Do it." Mrs. Xie smiled. "It's busy in the year. When the spring is over, it's okay for each of you sisters to wear two clothes. Make it more delicate and use good materials." She also came here since she was a young man, knowing that the young girls were lively and were curious about everything. For example, they were teaching girls, it was not as harsh as they thought outside. On the contrary, if the granddaughters had any requirements, as long as they were harmless, Mrs. Xie rarely opposed it. She just looked down on the clothes sold in the ready-to-wear shop outside, and the materials were not done by hand.

Seeing that grandmother agreed, Xie Moyou smiled, "I will have lunch with my grandmother."

Mrs. Xie joked, "I nodded, otherwise you wouldn't have dinner with me."

"Grandma just makes me laugh." Xie Moyou pouted and acted coquettishly, and Mrs. Xie smiled.

Xie Moru always goes back to Dujuanyuan for meals. Unless Mrs. Xie asks to keep her, she rarely eats in Songbaiyuan. This is also the reason why Mrs. Xie values ​​Xie Moru, but always feels that Xie Moyou is more intimate.

Xie Moru knew or didn't know about this, but she was still the same.

Madam Zhang smiled and served Xie Moru to change back to the long dress for women, laughing, "It is true that boys' clothes are cheaper when going out. Girls' clothes look better."

Although the two sisters are just the same father, they are still somewhat similar. Xie Moru smiled, "Let Qiaoer help me make a piece of it, without embroidery and lace, just use better materials, collect the sleeves and collect them into narrow sleeves."

Madam Zhang laughed, "This is easy. I'll find materials now, and I can do it in three or five days."

"Yes." Xie Moru sat on the couch, and Wisteria brought hot tea. Xie Moru took a sip and picked out one of the three books borrowed from the foreign library, saying, "Let's find a box."

Wutong found a red lacquer wooden box, Xie Moru put it in, and said, "Get the pen and ink."

The most difficult to use ink in winter. Even though Xie Moru's house was warm, Wisteria put the ink on the side of the hand stove and roasted it. Then she started grinding the ink. Xie Moru took a short note, wrote a few lines of words, put them in the wooden box, and said to Madam Zhang, "Send it to Miss Jiang there."

Madam Zhang laughed, "Let the winter peach go."

“Okay.”

When the little maid came in, she reported that she had already got lunch and asked when it would start.

Xie Moru said, "I'll go here now." As he said that, Wisteria hurriedly stepped forward and put a big robe on Xie Moru. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and pointed to a pot of red camellia on the flower table, saying, "Where did it come from?"

Madam Zhang laughed, "I was about to report to the girl that it was sent by Xie Zhong's wife in the morning. There were all yards. There were four pots in our yard, and the camellia in Shu was blooming just in time. I ordered people to put these two pots. There were two pots, which were better for the girl to deliver to the big grandma."

Well, the sent by Xie Zhong’s wife was not sent by Xie Zhong’s wife. Xie Moru knew it. Madam Zhang ordered the wisteria to carry flowers with her. When she arrived at the courtyard, Xie Moru asked her mother to ask her maid, Cuckoo, to put the camellia on the flower table.

Fang didn't speak much, Du Juan smiled, "This flower is so beautiful."

Xie Moru said, "Cambochung blooms in winter, and the flowering period is until early spring. It just so happens that the house is filled with a view in winter."

After a few words, Du Juan and Madam Zhang arranged to arrange the meal. The mother and daughter took their seats. The weather was cold and there was a mixed hot pot. Xie Moru liked it very much and said, "This is delicious in winter, it is very warm and the soup is also fresh."

Madam Zhang laughed, "The girl likes it, so I'll ask someone to do it at night."

"This soup is good. Change it to a vegetarian pot at night. Don't put the vegetables directly in it. Wash it and put it on the plate. Now put it when you eat it, so as to save you from getting old." Xie Moru picked up a piece of cucumber and chewed it clean, and said, "I don't realize how cucumber is in summer. Now I feel refreshed and cool as soon as I put it in my mouth. It's also some sweet things. They are all the same things, but they taste different in different seasons."

A smile flashed in Fang's eyes, and Du Juan even smiled, "Oh, my girl, melons and vegetables are everywhere in summer, and a truck is not worth half a tael of silver. Just like the cold land is frozen today, there are no ordinary people who can see melons and vegetables, which must be in a warm room. Even in a warm room, the old men who serve melons and vegetables have to serve them, and the production volume is no longer as good as in summer and autumn."

Xie Moru said, "Is that expensive?"

"There is a hot land in our farmland, which is not produced elsewhere. It is exclusively for winter vegetables. If you say it is expensive, there are 20 or 30 people in labor. It is edible for monthly cereals. It is naturally not cheap for food for a season of vegetables." Du Juan smiled, "So, the outbreak house must be chicken, fish, elbow meat. Only when a wealthy family knows how to eat."

Xie Moru couldn't help but ask, "Where did the money supplying the farmland come from?"

Du Juan said, "It is produced elsewhere."

Xie Moru nodded and asked no more questions. After lunch and drinking hot tea, he went back to his Autumn Ju courtyard to rest.

Madam Zhang served Xie Moru and went to the big-haired cloak and said, "Miss, take a break." She asked again, "Are you going to your wife's place next time?"

"I want to pass." Xie Moru sat on the soft couch by the window and said, "New Year is a favor."

Madam Zhang held the hand stove to warm Xie Moru and smiled, "It's like this during the Chinese New Year. Not only our family, but everyone is busy."

As she was talking, Hanmei came back and said that she would deliver a book to Jiang Xingyun to the third old lady's house. "Miss Jiang replied to the letter." As she said that, she took it out and presented it to her. Xie Moru took it out and looked at it, and smiled, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, go and have a meal."

The wintersweet bowed and left.

Xie Moru ordered Wisteria to put away Jiang Xingyun's reply and said to Madam Zhang, "Madam, let's go and have dinner too."

Madam Zhang asked Wisteria Wutong and the others to serve in the room.

In the evening, Madam Zhang said to Xie Moru privately, "I think Aunt Du Juan is a very knowledgeable person. As I am old, the affairs in our yard are still done. It is okay to take care of a few maids and old wives, but that's all. I see that the wife is becoming more and more dependent on the girl. Madam Qi, who is next to the second girl, is a person who works with her wife. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to do the same thing as Madam Qi. There are no capable people around the girl. If there are any difficulties, I think, Madam can ask Aunt Du Juan for advice."

Xie Moru leaned against the soft couch, reflected the candlelight, and there was a hint of tiredness between her eyebrows. She said slowly without rushing, "Mummy thought that the matter of Dujuanyuan was small, so she was wrong. For example, when marching and fighting, the military tent was always in the back. Only when the Dujuanyuan was peaceful could I take care of trivial matters with all my heart. My mother could not leave her at Aunt Dujuan. Besides, when I followed my grandmother every day, I could ask my grandmother directly, why do I need another old nanny like Madam Qi to help me? Besides, Zi Teng Wutong is still smart, and if they follow me and have a few years of experience, I will come out. Aunt Dujuan, let her be by my mother. If my mother doesn't have a person like her, I will be worried."

Madam Zhang was all about her own girl. She was thinking about the young wisteria sycamore, and was worried that Xie Moru would not be too busy. Now, when she heard Xie Moru say this, Madam Zhang felt relieved and laughed, "It's good that the girl knows it."

After the bathroom was ready, Xie Moru went to take a shower.

Madam Zhang is very right to see people. Du Juan is indeed a capable person. Whether a person has the ability does not have to be able to see forever. The true meaning is revealed in his words. But why did Du Juan not show his ability in the past, but was born today to show his ability?

I don’t want to think about this festival too much. After taking a shower, Xie Mo should go to bed early.

The New Year is coming in a grand and busy manner. After New Year's Eve worshipping ancestors, after the reunion dinner in the evening, it is time to stay up to the New Year. Xie Bai is not at home. Today, the princesses of the clan have to go to the palace to receive a banquet, and even if they receive a banquet, they will return to the house. Xie Bai also went back to the princess's mansion with Princess Yi'an.

All the whole house changed into festive clothes from their sons to their servants, and they looked happy all over their bodies. The whole family and the young went to Songbaiyuan to stay up to the New Year. Xie Moru and Xie Zhi and Xie Zhi played with pots. She was not worried about Fang. No matter what day, Fang's work and rested at night, and never said that he would stay up to the New Year.

However, it is not interesting to throw the pot. Xie Moru was born with a accurate lead. He even threw the pot with his back, and he made ten shots. After playing for a few games, it was not interesting to win. Xie Moru stopped playing, sat on the side and peeled oranges and ate them, then covered the orange peel on the stove to bake it to create a fragrant fragrance.

Seeing that the eldest granddaughter was not very sociable, Xie Shangshu smiled and said, "Why can you play chess?"

Xie Moru nodded, "Sir, taught me."

Xie Shangshu ordered people to put on the chess scale, "Come on, let's play a game, how about it?"

Xie Moru went over and sat down and wanted to guess chess with Secretary Xie. Secretary Xie was quite graceful, "You should hold on to the black." He would go first.

The grandparents and grandchildren played chess, and Mrs. Xie also knew chess, so she watched it from the side. It is said that playing chess is like being a human being. If Xie Shangshu said this, it really makes sense. Xie Moru made plans for others and then moved, and his chess path was also plain and simple. Moreover, Xie Moru did not change his face and did not change his eyebrows. The side-born Xie Shangshu was also a calm person. These two people played chess, and they won lightly, and lost lightly, which made Mrs. Xie say that they were bored. However, the two of them played very vigorously, waiting for Xie Zhong’s wife to come in happily and report, “Report to the master, the grandpa, the angel is here, Your Majesty will give you blessing dishes.”

The family hurried to the outer hall to receive the lucky dishes. In fact, it was a bowl of dishes from the palace. Because it was rewarded during the New Year, those who had to win the emperor's heart could not get it, so it was called the lucky dishes. Xie Shangshu knelt down with his children and grandchildren to receive the rewards, and then rewarded the eunuch who came to deliver the dishes. After a few greetings, the eunuch went away. Then the family took the lucky dishes back to the inner hall. Xie Moru glanced at him and gave him a dry fried meat ball.

Xie Yu is the youngest and very curious. Xie Shangshu laughed, "Taste?"

Xie Yu said, "Grandfather, your Majesty's grace, don't you give it to your ancestors first?"

Xie Shangshu laughed, "Let's go and go with your grandfather to offer sacrifices to your ancestors, and then give you a taste."

It was cold at night, and everyone put on big sweaters to clean up. Xie Shangshu brought the family with the blessing vegetables to offer their ancestors. After offering them to their ancestors, he ate one for Xie Yu because of the dried fried meat balls and burnt fragrance. When he returned to the Songbaiyuan, he heard Xie Lan ask him quietly, "Does it smell good?"

Xie Yu whispered to her brother, "It's so fragrant!"

Xie Moyou smiled, "Grandfather, I have already offered my ancestors tonight. It is better to heat up the good dishes at noon tomorrow and ask us to taste them all, so we can share the favor of the emperor."

Xie Shangshu laughed loudly, and was extremely happy, "Okay, okay."

Mrs. Xie joked, "It's all a big girl, and she's still greedy."

Xie Moyou held Mrs. Xie's arm and spoke in a coquettish tone, "Does he just want to try it?"

Everyone smiled and Xie Song saw that Xie Moru's lips were slightly raised, and he looked happy, but his smile was faint, which was far from reaching his eyes.

I gave my blessing vegetables to my ancestors. It was getting deeper at night, so Xie Moru went back to the Cuckoo Garden to rest first.

Xie Moyou Xie Zhi was younger than Xie Mooroo. Tomorrow, he would get up early. Mrs. Xie also asked them to go back to their houses to rest. Mrs. Xie was tired before the New Year, so she arranged the children and went to rest. However, when Xie Shangshu Xie Song and his son had to guard the son, Xie Shangshu sat back to the chess scale, picked up a son, and laughed, "Come on, look at this game, who has a better chance of winning?"

Xie Song said, "The chess game is not over, so it's hard to say."

Xie Shangshu sighed, "The victory is decided." He is now fifty years old this year, and at most he will last for another twenty years. After him, his second son, the eldest son Xie Song, the second son Xie Bai, and the same mother, can ensure that the family business is undefeated. But in the third generation, it is not that Xie Zhi and the others are not outstanding, but that Xie Moru is too outstanding. Xie Zhi and the others are still happy about eating a cold meatball, Xie Moru did not take this dish seriously at all. So, but in the future, Xie Zhi and the others will obey the monarch's power, and Xie Moru is the one who truly understands the monarch's power.

When did he realize what the monarch is? It was after the British Duke died of illness and the eldest princess passed away. Xie Moru had this understanding at a young age.

Of course, only looking at this time, Xie Moru is not the winner. Similarly, he is not defeated at this time, but he will eventually lose to the years. He is already in the evening of the twilight, but Xie Moru is rising from the rising sun.

Xie Song understood his father's intentions, and he said, "People and affairs have metabolism, and the relationship has become ancient and modern. Father, I have a different view from my father."

Xie Shangshu said, "Tell me, look."

The father and son talked privately, but no one was left in the room. Xie Song reached out to brush the chessboard and said, "I think Moru's heart is not here, so naturally there is no victory or defeat. The Xie family is promoted to the fore with fame and fortune, not like Cheng Bengong's Mansion. Therefore, although this family is difficult to be noble, it is a long-lasting stream. Azhi and others have talent, good teachers and family, and follow the steps, and there is a way out for a stable and stable family.

Xie Song smiled, "When my father talked about victory or defeat, his heart was not above victory or defeat. Is he worried that he should be with his family?"

After hearing what the eldest son said, Xie Shangshu was worried about most of his thoughts and laughed, "Since you know what you know, I won't worry."

Xie Song lowered his head and picked up the pieces on the chess scale and threw them back into the celadon chess jar one by one. "My son's vision is far less than his father, but his son thought that those who are capable are tired. The children and grandchildren are mediocre and worried, while the children and grandchildren are outstanding, and they are just as worried. Those who are ministers have the greatest achievements in this dynasty than the British Duke. Those who are women are no more noble than the eldest princess. What about the family? According to my original intention, it would be better to be ordinary for a lifetime."

"A sword is placed on a high platform as a sword, and in a humble room, and it will not change its preciousness. Treasures have their way of survival. If you make her dull, she may not be able to calm down." The key point is that Xie Moru will never be willing to be dull for a lifetime. She sees power and understands power. One day, she will eventually take every step and get power as she does in the Xie family now... As long as she thinks of this, Xie Shangshu is simply restless. He is not worried that Xie Moru is indifferent to the Xie family. He is in a high position, and has experienced the years when the eldest princess assisted in the administration of the government, and also the turmoil of the current ruler. At this age, he would rather seek stability than take risks. As the eldest son said, as prominent as the British Duke, what about the eldest princess? He died and died.

I'm afraid the British Duke and the eldest princess were still worried about their funeral afterwards, but based on Xie Moru's affection for the Xie family, I'm afraid I won't think about the family at all. The more outstanding Xie Moru, the more worried Xie Shangshu, was, in the end, he couldn't write two words of Xie. Even though Xie Moru's character is not necessarily worthy of the money, Xie Moru was in trouble, but Xie Moru was the lightest, and the face was full of dust. If it were good or not, the Xie Moru would have to be killed. Or, after Xie Moru's character was so outstanding, the Xie family would end up like Fang's family back then!

Xie Song said, "My father is thinking too far, and his son cannot reach it. As for whether Mo Ru will be dull in the future, I am afraid that it is not something you, my father and son can decide." The whole family of Xie Mo Ru's mother clan was not worried about killing Xie Mo Ru's mother clan, but the Xie family was worried about losing half of their lives.

There is no need to worry about killing Xie Moru's whole family. Unless the country is overturned, Xie Moru really can't control the royal family? What's more, Xie Moru once said that it's not about right or wrong, it only discusses success or failure. Xie Moru has a clear and cold understanding of politics. At least now Xie Moru shows a bystander's face. Mu, Fang, and Xie Moru, just like Xie Moru said herself, she neither had the surname Fang nor Mu, and her surname was Xie. With the word Xie, Xie Moru's family and Xie Moru can't unbroken life, death, and good fortune. Xie Shangshu sighed, "I hope I am worried about nothing."
To be continued...
