Chapter 004 - Father (II)

  At that time, her father returned to Kyoto alone, and it was nearly half a year after that before he went to fetch them. She didn't understand the trick in the past because she was young and ignorant. But her mother, who was already twenty-two years old, didn't see anything at all? During this period, grandmother and Chen's would not deploy at all, let them into the Xie family? The mother this go, this is like breaking into the dragon pool and tiger's den, nine deaths, but the mother seems to be full of hope that the Xie family will properly accept the three of them, is really called her disturbed .......   She quietly surveyed the mother who was speaking softly with her father, her heart couldn't help but secretly thankful that she wasn't like her mother.   If her nature was like her mother's, she would have died long ago without waiting for Lin Yuanzhi to harm her.   In the midst of her feelings, she suddenly heard her brother, Xie Yiyi, softly say, "Ah Barbarian, who is Prodigy?"   The little girl was stunned.   Xie Yiyi, who couldn't intervene because his parents were talking, beamed and came to her side, with a pair of eyes as bright as stars, looking at her after half a minute before her voice returned with a hard voice: "I dreamt of a child born exactly the same as my brother, and his name is Zhen'er."   Xie Yiyi narrowed her eyes and sat with her by her shoulder, muttering, "You must have been sleepy, where would someone be born exactly like me."   Xie Shuning nodded blankly.   Suddenly, when her eyes touched the clothes she was wearing, she froze once more. Along her own fleshy hands to look upwards, into the eye is the snow-white, fine and smooth fur, cuffs adorned with a whole circle of well-sized, rounded pink pearls ...... white fox skin jacket, inlaid with pink nanzhu ......   It was truly extravagant!   Xie Shuning was a little taken back for a moment. She remembered all those big events that were about to happen, but she couldn't recall any of these details. Letting her enter the Xie family's door in these clothes, was it her mother's deliberate act or was she really just afraid that she wouldn't be able to withstand the cold of Kyoto, so she took this kind of leather jacket for her to wear?   She bit her lip, thinking that if her mother had this in mind, she wouldn't have been so easily defeated under Chen's hand, so it's obvious that this is just a coincidence.   Besides, the Song family has nothing else, but silver is a lot!   Uncle and only mother a sister, is willing to throw silver on her, love house, she and her brother's food and clothing are excellent. The Xie family boasts a family, but her uncle uncle's family of several children wearing, everyday objects simply can not compare to theirs.   Perhaps it is also because of this, so the Xie family is unwilling to recognize the mother's daughter-in-law from the merchant, for fear of compromising the face of the Xie family, but in the heart of the matter, but can not afford to give up the mother's generous dowry. Therefore, after the death of her mother, those who originally should be left to her brother and her dowry are Xie family that huge mouth to swallow, not even a cent was left to them.   Greedy her birth mother's silver, when she was married, but could not afford to invest a little in her. At that time, the Xie family was prospering, where would it lack so little silver? But her sixty-four dowry but are some false surface things, or uncle grandmother feel bad, and privately add some to her in order to be considered a good look some.   This is to let the Lin family have bitter to say that the change of marriage, although she recorded in Chen's name, is considered the third house of the first daughter, but in fact, who do not know that she can only be considered a concubine. Coupled with the dowry is not generous, so she married into the Lin family, was treated coldly by her mother-in-law, was Lin Yuanzhi disliked, which is based on the hardships even at this moment to think of it is like walking barefoot through the snow in general.   In the freezing cold days, they mother and son of three people from the affluent warmth of Jiangnan a long way to the cold Kyoto, but waiting for them is more than the weather in Kyoto is also much colder than the hearts of the people ......   Xie Shuning touched the nanzhu on her own sleeve and tried to recall what had happened that winter day.   Her younger sister, Xie Shumin, was born in the waxing moon of the following year. Now it was the end of midwinter, and if she remembered correctly, in a few days it would be the waxing moon.   That is to say, in the months that he had left them, father had indeed kept the promise he had made to mother.   However, after the three of them had arrived at the Xie family, father had gotten together with Chen and had Xie Shumin. He was able to keep his promise when his mother wasn't around, but why couldn't he keep his promise when she came? What had gone wrong here?   Between thoughts flying, the carriage had already leisurely passed the Shouqing Gate.   Along Sanxi Street all the way forward, to the end of the road and turn right will be able to see Shi Jing Hutong that iconic green stone well. Continuing forward for about three hundred meters, the Xie family's mansion came into view.   However, the carriage did not stop after passing the main gate, but drove straight to the corner gate in the west.   Xie Shuning glanced at her father's face, there was not a single change in his expression, so it was clear that he was aware of it. Her mother had always looked up to her father, and since her father had not spoken, she naturally would not say anything.   The carriage stopped.   Xie Yuanmao got off first, and then turned around to come help her.   "I'm not getting down." Xie Shuning glared.   As she spoke, Song was also ready to take Xie Yiyi out of the carriage, but was held at the waist, frowning with her two thin eyebrows, "Father once said, when you come to the door as a guest, the host should open the front door to welcome you, how come we have to go through the corner door now?"   Brother Xie Yiyi walk early, speak but late, and she is the opposite, one and a half years old to learn to walk, the words are early than five or six year olds have to speak smoothly. So at this moment, she said such a word, the people present do not feel strange.   Only Xie Yuanmao heard, face slightly snappy, said: "A barbaric, in the future this is our home, how is it a guest ......."   Xie Shuning laughed coldly in her heart, but on her face she revealed a skeptical look, opening her clear and bright eyes to look at him, saying, "Since it is our own home, wouldn't it be more appropriate to enter the front door?"   Xie Yuanmao's eyes flickered, unable to answer.   The carriage was blocked at the door, and for a while the people inside couldn't get out, and the people outside couldn't get in. Song's look is not like this, lest it cause trouble for Xie Yuanmao, who only recovered his memory and returned to the Xie family half a year ago, he hurriedly bent down and picked up the fleshy her, forcibly stuffing her into Xie Yuanmao's arms outside, "Ah barbarians don't make a fuss."   She deflated her mouth and looked at Song, her mouth full of words, but they were tangled up in the tip of her tongue.   In her previous life, from the beginning, they had lost their momentum.   Grandmother wanted them to enter through the corner door, where was the need for further reasoning on the meaning of this? But father did not refute, mother obeyed, so from the moment they stepped through this door, they had already lost five points!   Xie Shuning struggled in Xie Yuanmao's arms, shouting, "I want to go on my own."   Xie Yuanmao, perhaps in a weak state of mind, said in a kind voice, "Fine, Ah Bán will walk on her own." Saying this, he slowly placed her on the ground. However, without waiting for her to take two steps, a person on the side suddenly came to Xie Yuanmao's side, without the slightest concern for her, and said, "Sixth Master, Miss Eight's dress is not appropriate."   "What's inappropriate?" Xie Yuanmao asked back suspiciously.   Xie Shuning smiled darkly when she heard this, her father was used to living in luxury in the Song family, so he naturally wouldn't think there was anything wrong with what she was wearing. But the Xie family prided themselves on being puritanical and not newly rich and noble, so naturally they could not see them in this copper-covered mold.   "Sixth master, the old madam has always been thrifty and does not like luxury." That person didn't answer directly, but instead changed his mind and brought up the old lady of the Xie family's third house.   Xie Yuanmao's face then changed.   Xie Shuning could see it clearly, stomping her little feet in place, her eyes narrowed as she carried her skirt and quickly ran in the direction of the main gate with her two short legs.
