Chapter 57 Foresight

On the day Xie Meng came home, Xiao Chen was both surprised and delighted, thanking Yun Fenghuang for his understanding, but after calming down, she asked what had happened, and learned that it was Xie Tu who told her sister-in-law when she met her, and her sister-in-law just sent her niece away When my son came back to reunite with himself, I felt a "click" in my heart.

She laughed and said that Yan Yan had talked with her daughter for a while, then sent Xie Meng to meet the two brothers, and then someone called Xie Xiliu over, frowning and told the story: "Why do I feel that there is something wrong with the second room?"

Xie Xiliu felt that she was thinking too much: "You are so embarrassing this time, the doctor is specially kept in the mansion, since the twenty-third brother knows, it is also a good intention to help mention it to the seventeenth sister."

Little Chen said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. The 23rd brother and the 17th sister seem to have grown up at the same age. In the past, the 17th sister didn't like the Chao family, and the 23rd brother helped the 17th sister to Chao's family I stumbled up and down, and even beat Chao's children. I didn't arrange the younger uncle, but you think, the seventeenth sister has a difficult heir, so I took Meng'er, who looks like her, to the palace to raise, and the twenty-third brother is closer to her. Kind, will you persuade Seventeenth Sister to send Menger back just because I am embarrassed?"

Things gather like creatures and people are divided into groups. Although the little Chen family has little contact with Xie Tu and doesn't know much about the uncle next door, but because of Jiang's love for her daughter, she has spent a lot of time studying the personality of her sister-in-law Yun Fenghuang.

Yun Fenghuang is not a fair master, the most partial.

Xie Tu has a good relationship with her, and their temperaments are probably similar.

Do you have to think about which is more important, the cousin who you don't know very well or the first cousin who grew up with you?

Little Chen didn't believe that Xie Tu would be so considerate of herself.

According to Xie Tu's personality and relationship with Yun Fenghuang, this little uncle should be in front of Yun Fenghuang and never mention his pregnancy, let alone persuade Yun Fenghuang to send Xie Meng back to reunite with his mother and daughter.

Like Xie Wuzheng and Xie Yanxiu who went to have an audience together, didn't they just say nothing?

"...Twenty-Third Brother is young, so it's inevitable that he didn't think carefully." Xie Xiliu also had some doubts after hearing his wife's analysis, but after thinking about it, he said, "You also know that he followed Younger Seventeen, ten Seventh Sister is resourceful and decisive. Twenty-Two, Twenty-Three and Jiang's cousin listen to her everything, and they have become accustomed to it. Therefore, it is not safe enough without Seventeenth Sister who is always by her side. We came here before When they met in the imperial capital for the first time, the three of them almost bumped into His Royal Highness Princess Minghui."

"I think the 23rd brother just saw the 17th sister. When I thought of it, I said it casually, without thinking much about it... I heard that he was scolded by the 22nd brother on the way back. When I got home, I went to find the tenth sister." Eleventh brother will probably blame him all the time."

Little Chen was skeptical, and said: "I have also heard about the incident when you met for the first time. It wasn't that since then, Brother Ninth and Brother Eleven just stared at the younger ones to prevent them from being careless. Are you causing trouble for Seventeenth Sister? After telling you for so long, why is Twenty-Three still being so aggressive? Twenty-two is not like this."

"Maybe the Seventeenth Sister pampered them very much in the past?" Xie Xiliu really didn't know much about these younger brothers and sisters. After all, they didn't spend much time together, and they had to take care of them in daily human relations. He was better than Xiao Chen. Not much—for example, in order to please her mother-in-law Jiang, Xiao Chen's liking for Yun Fenghuang and her temperament must be carefully considered, and she has to give her sister-in-law some contact feelings every now and then, and since Xie Xiliu has If his wife took care of it like this, of course he didn't care.

He didn't take it seriously at the moment, and said, "That's my sister-in-law, who is also your decent sister-in-law. Isn't it human nature for her to let Menger reunite with us? When you were at home, you also I love her a lot, and I don't allow her to reciprocate, I feel sorry for you, are you so embarrassed now?"

Little Chen couldn't help showing a slight smile when she heard the words, and said: "I should have done that, besides, I haven't done anything to Shiqimei, it's just some trivial things."

Thinking of how he flattered his sister-in-law in every possible way when she was in Beidi, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel that she might have thought too much. Maybe the uncle in the next room just thought of it and mentioned it. The sister-in-law cared about her sister-in-law's love, so she promised her daughter to come back to reunite with him ... She relaxed and discussed with her husband: "The person who sent Menger back didn't say how long Menger will stay this time. How long do you think we will stay with Menger and send her back?"

Xie Xiliu said nonchalantly: "They are all from my own family, why should I be so cautious? Wait until the next time my wife enters the palace to say hello, and you take Menger with you, just see what Seventeenth Sister means."

Seeing that his wife seemed to be reluctant, he smiled and said, "Why don't I write to my mother next time, and I will tell my mother to persuade Shi Qimei not to take Meng'er into the palace to raise her? Anyway, Shi Qimei has a child under her knee now. There are sons and daughters, and they are not lonely."

"Can it be the same?" Little Chen said immediately, "The Eldest Prince is recorded under the name of Concubine Shu, and Princess Zhaoqing has no blood relationship with Seventeenth Sister... Can you compare with Menger?"

She is not stupid, in Xie's current situation, Xie Meng is bound to get married.

There are so many descendants of the Xie family, even if they are the daughters of the first line, coupled with the status of the niece of the first line of the concubine Xian, it is difficult to stand out from the crowd. But it’s different for the girls who are brought up by Concubine Xian as her daughters. As long as Yun Fenghuang stays alive for a day, according to the nature of this sister-in-law, Xie Meng will be a princess without the name of a princess—in the future, she will be married into the clan. Dear noble, who dares to wrong her?

Even Xiao Chen speculated about Yun Fenghuang's character, and Xie Meng has been raising her in front of her. Compared with the unrelated Princess Zhaoqing, it is hard to say whether Yun Fenghuang will favor the serious princess or his niece in the future.

Such a big benefit, don't take it for nothing.

In contrast, although mother and daughter are separated, although they miss it, it is the daughter's future that is more important, isn't it?

So Xiao Chen said: "Besides, Meng'er is so old that he still needs someone to take care of him. You are very busy now that you are an official, and the boy in the family is not yet ready to take care of your sister. I can't take care of myself. How can I be so long?" Is Liu Menger at home? After three to five days, send someone to deliver a letter to the palace and ask Seventeenth Sister to pick her up. Besides, she has been in the palace for so long, and she doesn't know if she is used to being at home. "

She planned to do so, but that day Xie Heng and Xie Fu came to seek Xie Xiliu to discuss some business matters. When it came to this matter, Xie Fu said: "Sister-in-law Thirteen is too far away from her mother, and they are all relatives of her own family. Since the empress sent Meng'er back for a reunion, it can be seen that she hoped that Thirteenth Sister-in-law would be well, but Thirteenth Sister-in-law sent the child back in a hurry, as if she was afraid that she would be upset if she sent the child late."

He also said, "Of course Thirteenth Sister-in-law is happy after all, it is inevitable to think a lot during pregnancy, Thirteenth Brother should take care of sister-in-law more."

Xie Xiliu thought it made sense, sent the two brothers away, and told Xiao Chen not to push her daughter into the palace in such a hurry: "Sister Seventeen is young, even if her body is broken last year, Now that she is a virtuous concubine and there are so many imperial physicians in the palace, how do you know she can't rejuvenate? You see, she has raised Meng'er these days and is very fond of her, but she didn't say that Meng'er should be her daughter. I'm afraid she looks estranged from Meng'er... After all, among Meng'er's first-line daughters, who has our daughter who is exactly like Seventeenth Sister when she was young?"

Little Chen said: "How dare I think so much? I'm afraid that Seventeenth Sister will misunderstand that I am reluctant to give my daughter to her."

"Brother Eleven is right, you think too much when you are pregnant." Xie Xiliu teased her, "I'd better wait until the next time my wife pays her respects, and go to the palace to meet Seventeenth Sister before talking about it. To be honest, There is only such a prostitute under our knees, and I have been raised by Seventeenth Sister, I am really reluctant."

As he said that, he sent someone to find Xie Meng, "Our daughter, Seventeenth Sister, is taking care of her very well. I can see that she has grown a lot taller these days."

They were chatting and laughing, not knowing that Xie Fu said to Xie Heng after returning: "The twenty-first of the eldest house is about to be the master, the fourth house has seventeen sisters, not to mention the third and fifth houses, our second house, Because I didn't act cautiously at the beginning, I missed the Lord Shang, if Kuo'er can't get into Shiqimei's eyes, we will only be able to pick up the leftovers of the eldest and fourth families in the future."

Xie Heng frowned, hesitating a little: "They are all my brothers, why is this... and the thirteenth brother is not on guard against his own family, but the seventeenth sister is not easy to fool, let her see the clue, I am afraid it will Getting bored with our room."

"Although Seventeenth Sister is smart, she still values ​​her family very much. Otherwise, how did Twenty-one get married?" Xie Fu said in a low voice, "Scholars as talented and beautiful as him don't say grab a lot of them. , but not in the minority. Why is he the only one who is favored by the Heavenly Family? Isn’t it because Seventeenth Sister spared no effort to help beat the side drums? We didn’t do anything to Meng’er, but we just prevented her from entering the palace for a short time, and asked Kuo’er to replace her in Cheng Huan Shi Seventh Sister is just below her knees... In fact, according to Kuo'er's level of understanding, Yuan is more suitable than Meng'er to enter the palace."

Xie Heng said: "The palace is deep, Seventeen Younger Sister seems to be promoted quickly, how many hardships and dangers there are, it is not for outsiders to understand. How rich is it?"

"Then Meng'er has been in the palace for half a year, why should he be afraid?" Xie Fu didn't think so, "With Seventeen Sisters protecting her, even though there was some disagreement, would she still come to the children? And..."

He lowered his voice, "Seventeenth Younger Sister is raising the Eldest Prince under her knees, even if it is recorded under Concubine Shu's name, but Concubine Shu died last year, and when Eldest Prince grows up, how can he not be close to Seventh Younger Sister? The gap between Kuo'er and the First Prince is only three years."

"...This is too absurd." Xie Heng's heart was shocked, and he blurted out, "My family is humble, how can a prostitute match the prince?!"

Xie Fu sneered: "Why can't you match the prince? Twenty-one can be the lord, and the seventeenth sister can be the emperor's concubine. Why can't Kuo'er be the princess? Besides, with the seventeenth sister's means, if she continues to be so popular In the future, the eldest prince should be thankful if he can marry Kuo'er!"

"After all, there are too many young concubines in Xuanqing Palace. How can Seventeenth Sister not have other princes in the future?"

"Compared to those princes who are officially listed under the name of Seventeenth Sister, there is a layer of separation between the First Prince and Seventeenth Sister. As far as Seventeenth Sister is concerned, it is a question of whether she will treat him well in the future... After the First Prince grows up , in order to protect myself, I should choose the concubine from my Xie clan!"

Seeing that Xie Heng was still hesitating, he raised his eyebrows and reminded, "Ninth Brother, even if you don't think about Kuo'er or our house, you should also think about the entire Xie family. Although sister-in-law is virtuous, she is only thankful for us." The virtuousness of the former lintel of the family. It is impossible to raise enough girls to marry high-ranking families. The only ones in the family who have this ability are the fourth aunt and the seventeenth sister. The fourth aunt is far away in the north, and she wants to preside over the middle school. , even my own granddaughter didn’t bother to mention something. If you don’t count on Seventeenth Sister, who do you count on?”

"Think about the younger sisters who have disappeared because of Sixth Sister's affairs all these years. If they can have the scheming of Seventeenth Sister, they will be so easy to bully?"

"Don't you want Kuo'er to follow in their footsteps in the future, calling for a good marriage to end disastrously?"

Xie Heng was silent, his face struggling. After a long time, Fang slowly said: "How are you doing?"

...At about the same time, in the harem, Yun Fenghuang was slowly putting down his tea bowl, and said, "It's time for Ji Muzijin to return to his concubine position."
