Chapter 012 - Husbandry
Mrs. Li sat on a small stool in front of the bed and talked to Xie Shuning.
Xie Shuning, however, just sat quietly at the head of the bed, not paying much attention. However, as she was so young, and had just shown her pampered and brash side in front of Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li just assumed that she didn't understand what she was saying. But even if Xie Shuning really didn't understand, what she had to say still had to be said.
Children of this age love to learn from others.
For one thing, they don't know what to say and what not to say, and for another, they tend to talk too much in order to get their elders to notice them.
But they don't have much to say about themselves, so they like to pick what they have heard and repeat it. It was precisely for this reason that Mrs. Li would tirelessly ramble on with Xie Shuning.
Suddenly, there was a clamor outside, a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps, and then the curtain was lifted, and Xie Yiyi rushed in with "stomp, stomp". He shouted "Ah Ban, you've finally woken up", while taking off his shoes and climbing onto the bed.
"Young master, be careful with your feet!" Rosebud shouted and hurriedly ran in after her.
Mother Li was first stunned, then she subconsciously glared at Qiang Wei.
The Xie family prides itself on being a family, not to mention the other things, the rules are great. So this time, when Mrs. Li saw Qiang Wei running in shouting like this, she couldn't help but show a look of displeasure, looking at Qiang Wei's movements stalled. Rose grew up in the Song family, the Song family treats their subordinates kindly, Xie Shuning's uncle himself is not a heavy rules, so Rose a few are comfortable in the habit. Now being glared at by Mrs. Li, she was instantly filled with bad feelings.
She slowed her pace, slowly approaching, stooping to Xie Yiyi casually threw a small boots resettled properly, only then whispered: "Young master, you just came in from the outside, hands and feet are still cold it will be freezing Miss." After saying this, he handed Xie Shuning a blue ragdoll he was holding in his hands.
Xie Yiyi look at his own is ready to explore to Xie Shuning face hand, pretending to be an adult look sighed, shook his head and said, "just ...... just ......".
The strange appearance, causing Xie Shuning to hold Mengmeng face smile.
Her Prodigal son, truly looks like his older brother.
Li mom also stood up from the stool and laughed, "The slave girl has met the fifth young master, the fifth young master is really born with a dragon's eyebrows and phoenix eyes, very similar to the sixth master!"
Dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes?
Xie Shuning snorted in secret, it was really thanks to mama Li that she could say that. The Xie family's subordinates and masters are all the same, wishing everyone knew that they were full of poetry and books and could speak well. But one or two of them are all half a bucket of water wandering, as much as possible will use some words that are not in tune. Xie Yiyi is only a four-year-old child, where it is worthy of the four words of the Dragon Eyebrows and Phoenix Eyes. What's more, at this time of the year, the word "dragon and phoenix" can't be used by anyone? Based on this sentence alone, it will kill Li mom is also able to.
But these words, she can only temporarily buried in the bottom of her heart.
On the contrary, Xie Yiyi, because of the age of the small reason to listen to the words only half, heard the words will raise his voice and said: "I naturally was born with father like!"
Just at this moment, there was a sound of gentle footsteps outside.
Everyone followed the sound and looked, but saw that the curtain had been lifted at some point, and a small figure stood in the doorway.
Mrs. Li was originally standing by the small stool in front of the kang, when she saw the person coming and moved in panic, the small stool was brought down with a muffled sound, she hurriedly saluted and said, "Fourth young master, why did you come over?"
"I heard after school that my younger siblings were here, so I came to take a look." The curtain was lifted a little more, and the figure that could not be seen clearly gradually became clearer, a boy with a clear brow, only about ten years old.
Xie Shuning leaned against the satin backrest on the kang, lightly glancing at the visitor, her eyes clear, quiet and transparent.
She knew who the person who had come was.
After her father disappeared, Chen held the tablet and entered the door, and then waited for her father for four years, but there was still no sign of him, so she had to be ruthless and decided that her father was really dead. But the Xie family has no male children in the third house, the word "extinct" is so fierce, certainly can not go on like this.
A family of two widows, sooner or later is the need for a male to support the portal. So there is only one way left.
But because of Xie Yuanmao's matter, the third old lady and the eldest old lady of the long house had a bad relationship, and this time it is impossible to inherit another child from the eldest house no matter what.
Moreover, among the grandchildren, the male members of the eldest family are not prosperous.
The second house originally also withered, now easily more people, of course, will never give up to the third house. The third house is like a magic spell, the male children died out one after another. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't dare to continue to get involved.
So two years ago, Chen can only from the Xie family a side branch of the inheritance of an orphan parents are dead, named Xie Chen.
This is the same person that mom Li has been talking to her about.
Her other brother, fourth young master Xie Chen.
At this moment, Xie Chen, who was already nine years old this year, was quietly lowering the curtain and sizing up the siblings.
"Fourth Young Master, you're here, does Mistress know?" Mother Li looked like she was no stranger to Xie Chen, and when she saw him come in, she didn't stop him, but only said with a slightly different expression.
"I'll take a look and leave." Xie Chen shook his head as he avoided the issue.
Xie Yiyi climbed down from the hot bed and stepped on the ground, looking at Xie Chen and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"
Qiang Wei then hurriedly bent down to carry him back to sit on the kang and put on his shoes.
Xie Chen then took a step back, "I'm your fourth brother."
The second and third houses of the Xie family are not prosperous, so when discussing the order of precedence, all of them are ranked together by the third house. Therefore, Xie Chen was ranked fourth, and Xie Yiyi was ranked fifth. Xie Shuning is already ranked eight. Xie family this generation, not many men, but the girl had a lot.
Mom Li followed suit, "Fifth young master, this is fourth young master, your brother."
"My uncle said that I'm the eldest son of our family, I don't have a brother, only a sister!" Xie Yiyi stood in front of the kang with his hands behind his back, "How can you be my fourth brother?"
Not waiting for someone to speak, he mumbled again, "If I say it's a cousin it's not right, I only have one cousin, but uncle said that cousin Shu Yan's eyes are blue ......"
"Blue?" Mother Li sniffed and blurted out in surprise, only to feel that she shouldn't have done so after she finished speaking, and snapped her face away.
Xie Shuning followed suit and was surprised.
Her aunt was a girl that her uncle had married outside of Guanwai, and she was born differently from the people of West Vietnam, with hair as golden as daylight, but eyes as blue as the water of a lake. But she had only heard about them. In her previous life, she had never met her aunt and cousin.
Her mother brought them to the capital to avoid her uncle. Uncle is a violent temper, mother said that if uncle knew father in the Xie family there is a Chen, uncle will certainly not let them go north. So never refused to disobey uncle's mother, the first time this matter will be hidden.
This one, I'm afraid it's also wrong can no longer be wrong one thing.
Just as she was thinking, she heard Xie Chen say, "How can there be blue-eyed people in this world, don't talk nonsense."
