Nongmen Jia Niang: The little blessed wife of the general's family

Chapter 384 Miss Xie Mansion
Yin Tao pretended to be affectionate, and praised Xie Ziyan a lot, Xie Ziyan also lowered her head shyly, the princess and all the female relatives laughed, but it is unknown what she thinks in her heart.

Seeing that it was almost done, Xie Ziyan led Yin Tao to her yard.

The day after tomorrow is Master Hou's birthday, in fact, he only stayed for two or three days and was about to leave, but the small courtyard was tidied up very carefully.

Yin Tao looked on coldly, seeing that Xie Ziyan still spoke softly even to the little maid or the gatekeeper, and similarly, everyone was very respectful and kind to Xie Ziyan, and it was obvious that they really liked her.

Cai Lu came over and whispered in his ear: "Ma'am, I heard a little bit from the little girl sweeping the floor. This one outside is probably going to enter the palace."

Yin Tao reached out to get the hairpin on her head, nodded expressionlessly, and asked again: "How can a little girl know such a thing?"

"This matter is not a secret in the Xie family, and this girl has not been engaged for seventeen years, and she is waiting for the general election after the new emperor ascends the throne."

Thinking about Xie Ziyan's appearance and temperament, Yin Tao frowned slightly: "Tell me, can a man reject such a woman?"

Cai Lu didn't answer, and heard Yin Tao say: "Even the second master, I dare not guarantee that he won't be tempted."

"Second Lord's affection for his wife, we can see clearly with our eyes, Madam can rest assured, if Second Master knows that his wife thinks so, it will hurt the second master's sincerity." Cai Lu helped Yin Tao take off the jewelry on her head , put down the bun again, and rubbed her scalp.

"Hey, life is long, we have to be prepared that our men will renounce at any time." Yin Tao's mood is a bit depressed, these women are good girls, but they can't choose their own destiny, but become manipulated by others. chess pieces.

Cailu probably understood his wife's thoughts, but she didn't try to persuade her anymore. Instead, Cao Jinze's shadow appeared in her mind. She knew that Cao Jinze wanted his wife to propose marriage, and his wife respected her wishes, but Cailu had too many worries in her heart. She has been a servant since she was a child, and she has low self-esteem in her heart. Cao Jinze is too good, and she doesn't want Cao Jinze to regret it one day.

Moreover, she had seen the lonely nights when the deceased queen tossed and turned alone and couldn't sleep. In those days, the emperor was sleeping on other women's beds.

I have also seen Ye Xiuwen's doting and intimacy with Yin Tao. She yearns for the latter, but fears the former.

She once told Hongzhi that she would never get married in her whole life, especially Hongzhi, who is now in charge of the huge Xiulou, how proud she is, she will not consider getting married at all.

After Yin Tao changed her clothes, Xie Ziyan walked in, she just smiled, two small dimples loomed at the corners of her mouth, it was truly charming.

"Madam, if there is something you are not satisfied with or you are not used to, just ask her."

Yin Tao immediately smiled and took her hand to let her sit down: "Miss Xie is too polite, look carefully, there is nothing wrong with it."

Then she winked at Cai Lu, and Cai Lu went to find an exquisite wooden box. Yin Tao took the box and put it in Xie Ziyan's hands, saying: "Thank you for taking care of me, this is something I brought from the capital." If Miss Xie doesn't dislike it, she can pick it up and play with it."

Xie Ziyan did not refuse, opened the box and saw that there were three pairs of palace-made velvet flowers, very exquisite and novel in style; but the most valuable thing is that these are from the palace, and outsiders would not be able to get them without rewards.

This is the place where Yintao chicken thief is. Before she left, she went to the queen's place to buy a lot of hairpin palace flowers and so on.

Xie Ziyan thanked with a smile, then closed the box, hesitant to speak.

"Miss Xie has something to say, I hit it off with you, just say so." Yin Tao patted Xie Ziyan's jade hand lightly, feeling so soft and smooth in her heart, she couldn't help touching it again!

"It's like this." Xie Ziyan sighed with a heart-to-heart look: "Although I grew up next to the princess, I am still a side branch. I am also cautious here, and I dare not offend anyone."

Yin Tao nodded with deep understanding: "It's true, I can understand the girl's mood very well."

Xie Ziyan said again: "There are three young ladies in the mansion waiting in the boudoir, I thought if Madam doesn't mind, I will send this hairpin to the three young ladies."

"Oh, this is what I didn't think of. I really want to thank you for reminding me, otherwise, wouldn't I want to offend someone?"

After finishing speaking, Yin Tao immediately called Bai Shao: "You send the presents prepared for the ladies to them."

Then he said to Xie Ziyan more intimately: "There are still those people in Xie's residence, please tell me, Miss, to avoid any omissions."

Generally, when visiting another house, one would inquire about the situation of the host’s house in advance, and gifts should be prepared in advance, and one must not be rude.

Seeing that Yin Tao was also prepared, Xie Ziyan seemed to have never thought of it for a while, so she didn't talk about giving gifts.

She introduced: "The main residence of the Xie family only lives in the Hou Ye, and the rest live nearby."

"The elder's eldest son, Xie Sheng, is 21 this year. Now he is studying in the Xie clan. Before he got married, he went to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival. There is also a second son, Xie Linzhu, who also helps the elder with some chores. "

"The second master is the dean of Xie's Academy, and his son Xie Ji also helps the elder master with errands on weekdays."

Yin Tao discovered that the power of the Xie family was concentrated in Dafang.

There is only one family living in the house, and now it seems that all the rights are in the hands of the big house owner, so Xie Ji has to rely on his uncle to arrange things.

I'm afraid that after the death of Old Master Xie and Princess Heyang, the second wife of the Xie family will also move out of the residence. Wouldn't Xie Ji not have a little psychological gap?
Yin Tao suddenly asked: "Aren't the sons of the Xie family married yet?"

"No, the concubine of the first room has already married, and Xie Ji of the second room is about to get married."

That is to say, only the eldest, Xie Sheng, has not been engaged yet. Could it be that he wants to wait for Chunwei to find a good one?
Thinking about it, when Mr. Xie becomes Lord Marquis, he can ask Xie Sheng to be his heir. If Xie Sheng becomes the heir of the Marquis, if he still has fame and fame, he can choose any kind of girl, including the princess.

Xie Ziyan said again: "There are two girls in the first room, the eldest daughter Xie Menghua, the concubine Xie Mengying, and the second room only has one young lady, Xie Mengrong, who just passed the age of this year."

Yin Tao lamented in her heart how obvious the Xie family's distinction was between the concubine and concubine, the concubine's daughter Hua and Rong, and the concubine's daughter Ying.

Soon, Princess Heyang sent someone to say that the meal was set, and the princess invited Mrs. Cheng Enhou to have a meal together.

Walking into the dining room, there were only a few girls in the room, Xie Ziyan hurriedly introduced them, Xie Menghua, Xie Mengrong, Xie Mengying.

The three girls hurriedly saluted Yin Tao, and said that they liked the palace flowers Yin Tao sent, and Yin Tao also responded politely.

The smiling young woman is Xie Zhu's wife, Liu Shi, who is about 20 years old. Although she is well dressed, she lacks the nobility and reserve in the bones of Miss Xie's family.

Just after exchanging greetings, the servants reported that the princess was coming, and everyone hurriedly stood up to greet her.
