The princess is beautiful and Ziye

Chapter 42

As the New Year's Eve approached, Shangjing became colder and colder. It snowed heavily for two days in a row, and it was a vast expanse of whiteness to look out of the window.

The servants of Xie's mansion were all sweeping the snow, Xie Boming got off the carriage, wrapped himself in the brocade fur, walked quickly into the mansion, and walked straight to Songhe Hall.

After entering the house, he took off the brocade fur and handed it to the butler behind him, lifted the noren curtain in the back room and walked in.

In the inner room, Mrs. Xie was sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed, and Mrs. Wei was sitting beside her, showing the old lady the account book from the house.

Seeing Xie Boming coming in, Wei got up and saluted, "Greetings to the master. Why is the master here?"

Xie Boming said hello to Mrs. Xie. He didn't expect Wei Shi to be here too. His expression was not very good-looking. I knew he should have asked just now.

"I'm here to say hello to my mother...by the way, I'll talk to my mother about something."

He glanced at Wei Shi, and waved at her, "You go out and wait for a while, I will let you in after I finish talking with my mother."

Wei Shi narrowed his eyes keenly, and said with a smile: "Why can't the master tell my concubine?"

The old lady Xie spoke for her son, "If you are told to go out, go out. Ming'er is the head of the family. He will not let you listen, so naturally he has his reasons."

Mrs. Xie had the title of mother-in-law to suppress Wei Shi, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she obediently said yes, put down the account book and left the back room.

Xie Boming cautiously walked to the window, watched Wei Shi close the door and walk away along the corridor, before returning to Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie understood her son's temperament very well, so he must have something important to tell her like this.

"Minger, what's the matter?"

"The son wants to tell his mother that he intends to welcome the Ji family into the house before the New Year's Eve. He also wants Luo Yao and Qiao Yue to spend a reunion year at the residence."

Seemingly leaving, Wei Shi, who was hiding in the corner listening to the wall, almost exploded. She had a gloomy expression, and she stuck to the window, not wanting to miss a word.

"Okay! Mother knows that both Luoyao and Qiao Yue are good children. Back then, it was an expedient measure for you not to force her to stay. Now that Xie Tinglan is sick, Wei Shi has nothing to fear, so you can rest assured to welcome her back." Now as long as It is something that can add trouble to Xie Tinglan, and Mrs. Xie is willing to do it.

When the news of Xie Tinglan's illness spread to Songhetang, the old lady Xie ate half a bowl of her happy meal, and wished that Xie Tinglan would die in Bixiaoyuan if she couldn't get sick.

Mrs. Xie began to calculate, "This... Mother is more expensive than children. Although the Ji family is a concubine, they also gave birth to two children. Luo Yao is well-behaved and sensible, Qiao Yue is young and has a lot of achievements, and he will definitely inherit your official position in the future. If he is promising in the future and can't leave a stain on his biological mother's position, I think it's better to make her a noble concubine."

Wei Shi gritted her teeth in hatred, this old godmother obviously wanted to disgust her with Ji Shi, although a noble concubine is not as good as a flat wife, but in the big house, there are several people under one person, a humble outer room can be a minister The noble concubine of the mansion, what a fantasy!
Mrs. Wei was about to rush in to refute, when she heard Xie Boming mutter in embarrassment: "Mother... son has already made up his mind... this Mrs. Ji's background is not high, and everyone knows that Mrs. Ji is making trouble in the name of the outer room. If you welcome me in with great fanfare, , the son and the Shangshu Mansion will be laughed at..."

The old lady Xie was taken aback, she didn't expect that her arrangement would run counter to her son's, it shouldn't be!
"Then what position do you plan to give to the Ji family?"

"Just pass through the room..."

Wei Shi was also dumbfounded, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and after a moment of daze, she leaned against the wall and laughed silently.

"Tongfang!" Mrs. Xie moved forward, looked at Xie Boming and said, "Ming'er, are you right? She has given birth to two children anyway, at least she will give birth to a concubine or something. It's decent, how can... just give me a room? This is too..."

"Mother doesn't know that the Ji family has a pair of children who are about the same age as Xie Tinglan, which is not a good thing for the son. Now you see that the son has not been affected, because the emperor is busy with the flood and ignored the words of the speaker. Remonstrance. You don't know, this officer's book can cause a lot of trouble. If the son really raises Mrs. Ji as his aunt, and then recognizes Luoyao and Qiao Yue, then the officer will definitely make a big fuss about this matter again. of!"

"Wait, wait, wait—"

The old lady Xie raised her hand to stop him, and after a moment of silence, she asked: "You say you recognize Luoyao and Qiao Yue, and the officials will make a big fuss... Then what do you mean, you don't plan to recognize the two children! Then why? Fine! They are from our Xie family! Tomorrow you are crazy!"

"Mother, listen to me. I intend to arrange a decent status for Mrs. Ji. I said that she is the wife of my son's best friend. After losing her husband, she raised two children by herself. My son raised them because of his old relationship with his best friend." In Beijing, now that the Ji family is old and no one is taking care of them, the son only wants to take him into the Xie family, Luo Yao and Qiao Yue are the adopted sons of the Xie family..."

Mrs. Xie held her forehead and felt a headache. She waved her hands again and again and said, "This can't be the idea you came up with - it's so vicious, cunning, and treacherous! Tell me! Was it Xie Tinglan's idea!"

Xie Boming felt ashamed, and was afraid that Mrs. Xie would quarrel with Xie Tinglan because of this matter. Now the jade pendant is still in Xie Tinglan's hands. If she pushes her to make a fuss about the jade pendant, then she will not lose her wife. Broken soldiers?

"Lan'er only said that Ji's status should not be too high, and that her mother should be overwhelmed. The rest, these days, my son has heard a lot of gossip and gossip, so he figured it out by himself."

Mrs. Xie chased after Xie Boming and asked several times, but Xie Boming refused to change his words, and Mrs. Xie could only half-believe and dubiously agree.

It's not like she particularly likes Ji and her two children, the most important thing is Xie Boming's attitude.

But after this incident, Mrs. Xie felt that she had to re-evaluate the weight of Mrs. Ji and the pair of children in Xie Boming's heart.

If there are only three dispensable people, she doesn't need to bother to manage anything, as long as she can save face.

In this way, the matter of the three of Ji's entering the door can be regarded as finalized.

On the [-]th day, I went to Baihu Street to pick up people.

But it took a few days, and it arrived in a blink of an eye.

Xie's carriage left early, and Wei Shi dressed up and waited in Chu Yu Pavilion, shaking Zhu Chai on his head, just waiting for Ji Shi to give her a big shot when he served tea later.

Nanny Dou opened the door and walked in, said through the partition, "Ma'am, Mrs. Ji is here."
