Chapter 018.

　　Because of the previous incident, a group of people in silence after breakfast, the old lady of the eldest house did not continue to stay Xie Yuanmao to talk, only urged a few words every few days to come over to ask for good health, and so on, and then let them go back to the third house. The first wife will do, but also like to pose as the head of the family housewife, took the initiative to help send the family out. 　　When the old lady heard this, she thought highly of the first wife, thinking that she was a good person and understood things. 　　So the first wife sent them all the way to the Hanging Flower Gate before smiling and helping Xie Shuning gather her hood with her own hands, and with a pitying glance at the red and swollen marks on her forehead, she said, "Pitifully, go back and don't dip it in the water." 　　"Thank you for your concern, A-Ban has remembered." Xie Shuning bowed respectfully. She is only five years old now, but at this moment, as a Marquis wife in her previous life, she has cultivated the air of reserve for many years, but now she has a layer of indescribable decency and respect between her hands and feet. 　　The first wife was slightly surprised, Xie family this generation of girls, just look at this salute revealed the rich and noble atmosphere and posture, it seems that no one can be compared with this young girl in front of me! She was at an age where she loved to play around and didn't know what was going on, so how could she have been taught so well? Surprised, she also remembered that just in Song's mahogany box in the dazzling array of things, can not help but secretly envy. 　　They all thought that Song's just a lowly merchant's daughter, weekdays must be even if the rich and noble days, but also can never be compared with the Kyoto family women, that is, when the maid accompanied by the side, by and large, are not enough to look at. But who knows, when really see Song, the other side is such a person. 　　Every move calls for people to temporarily find no mistakes to mention, alone that a box of things, will be enough to call people surprised. However, the people present who do not understand, in the eyes of Song, those who called them surprised things are not enough. 　　As such, that Yanling Song family must be rich to what extent? 　　The first wife of the smile contains astringent, turned to think of the long house of the feed to. 　　She is the head of the family when the first wife is really not easy! 　　House of silver if she is not everything is every cent, has long been unable to make ends meet, disgraced to the Golden Palace up! But this huge house, who has thought of her not easy. A few sisters-in-law and do not know the nature of thrift, the two elders more and more do not have to talk about it. The old master of the long house just a few days ago to get the ancient book, I do not know how much it cost. Even the daily food, all must be very fancy in order to get the old lady's eyes. 　　The more she thought about it, the more bitter she felt, so she simply brushed it aside and didn't pay attention to it, and smiled at Xie Yuanmao and Song's compassionate smile as she sent them out the door. 　　After leaving the long room, Xie Yuanmao picked up Xie Shuning, holding her in a ball and asking worriedly, "Does it still hurt?" 　　Xie Shuning almost said the word "no pain" out of her mouth, but fortunately her quick reflexes temporarily changed to what she should have said, "It hurts a lot, daddy." 　　"Daddy give hoo hoo, Ah barbarians don't hurt." Xie Yuanmao softly coaxed his little daughter. 　　Xie Shuning disliked him for being mealy-mouthed and uncomfortable, but once she thought that there was still Chen Clan and the Third Elderly Lady watching from the sidelines, she really treated herself as a childlike figure and forcibly endured it. She tilted her head sideways on Xie Yuanmao's shoulder, and mumbled in his ear, "Father, is it okay for Ah Ban to sleep in your warm pavilion tonight?" 　　Xie Yiyi, who was walking on Song's side, heard this and said hurriedly, "I want to sleep with my sister!" 　　In ancient times, men and women at the age of seven are not the same seat, although the two of them are still small, can be replaced by those who have strict rules of the family, the boy at the age of six years old will be moved to the outer courtyard of the many. Xie family has not been so, but this brother and sister will have to sleep in a bed, but it is not good. 　　Song's then pinched Xie Yiyi's hand, softly said: "Yiyi child rest, wait until the daytime and then play with the sister is." 　　"Brother ......" Xie Shuning could not stand her own brother's bitter little face, could not help but say, "Brother wait for tomorrow's dawn and then come to find Barbara." 　　Xie Yiyi nodded, and then asked Xie Yuanmao, "Dad, Yiyi's teacher is still in Yanling, what about the coursework?" 　　Since he was a child like to learn, at the age of three will be opened, and now a day does not read a few lines of books, know a few new words will be uncomfortable, so only to come to the capital on the second day to ask about this. 　　Fortunately, the Xie family not only provides the old doctor, but also provides a husband surnamed Wu. 　　"Mansion has a Mr. Wu, learning and character are excellent, tomorrow father will go to find Mr. Wu let you early enrollment can be good?" Xie Yuanmao thought also did not think, off the mouth said. 　　Xie Yiyi heard also satisfied, then also do not say, only step forward. 　　This Mr. Wu, Xie Shuning in his previous life, although not familiar but also know. I heard that he was a great scholar, and his knowledge was excellent. But in Xie Shuning's opinion, he was a bit too dull and not open-minded enough. So in the future, my brother will not be able to follow this Mr. Wu to study. But for the moment, he had to make do with what he had. 　　In the snowy weather, a little while will be freezing people shivering, but the snow is slippery, a line of people but do not dare to walk too fast, and so back to the third room of the Zhilanzhai, Song's face is frozen a little blue and white. Fortunately, the house is burning the ground dragon, the charcoal fire is also strong, a moment of work will be able to warm up again. Gui mom ordered people to make hot tea that had been prepared over, one person a share, before leading people back out, only to leave their family indoors. 　　But before they had time to say a few words, Xie Shuning heard what sounded like someone walking outside. 　　Then Gui mama's voice rang out, "Miss Chunping." 　　It was the Third Old Madame's side who had come. 　　Not long after, the thick curtain was raised, and mama Gui led Chunping in. 　　Chunping smiled and greeted them. 　　Xie Shuning sat on the bed and realized that Chunping seemed much more respectful today than yesterday when they arrived. It seemed that what happened in the eldest house this morning had already spread through the third house. But this is also a matter of necessity, the Xie family moved to the capital has been over a few generations, when the maid servant bought are now also flourishing, now each room with almost all the people are born in the family. 　　One after another, like the roots of a big green tree, intertwined. 　　Therefore, it was clear that after only an hour or so, most of the people in the third house had already heard about it. 　　She thought, then turned her head away, pestering aside Xie Yiyi to flip up the flower rope. 　　"Sixth master, the old lady instructed the slave girl to come to ask for your advice, the evening dishes at this dust washing banquet is to do our northern dishes, or do some more southern dishes?" Chunping's tone was respectful, explaining, "The new cook in the house has good skills, originally from the south, but he has lived in the north for more than ten years, so the dishes from both places are extremely good. The old madam was thinking of the fifth young master and the eighth young miss, so she specially instructed the slave girl to come and ask you." 　　Xie Yuanmao nodded as he listened, turning his head to ask Song, "How about trying the dishes from the north?" 　　There were still decades to go in the future, so it was good to familiarize himself with it first. 　　Song would not refute him, so she nodded her head and agreed. Xie Shuning, however, pretended to be oblivious and said in a soft voice, "Mother, Ah Ban wants to drink sugar porridge."
