The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 185
Xi'en Hall.

The old lady was mostly awake from the wine, but she didn't feel sleepy at all. Thinking of that "Call me Sanhe", she felt indescribably happy.

"Someone, go and call the master."

Xie Daozhi had already reached the door of Muxiangyuan, where Aunt Liu lived. When he heard that the old lady called him, he had to turn back.

As soon as they entered the door, they heard the old lady say with a smile: "Master, that girl from Sanhe is here to stay. We have to make plans for her in the future."

Xie Daozhi guessed that the old lady called him here in a hurry, it must be about Yan Sanhe.

He sat down on the edge of the bed and said with a look of shame on his face: "My son has also thought about this matter and paid attention to it. If I don't hide it from my mother, her marriage will be... difficult!"

Of course the old lady understands what is difficult about this "difficulty".

When marrying a wife or a daughter, what matters is a well-matched person.

Yan Sanhe's surname is Yan, not Xie. The Yan family has been in decline for decades, and Yan Xing is another convicted official who was exiled. This family background is really not worthy of mention.

When marrying a wife from a wealthy family, the family background and character of at least three generations of ancestors must be considered. Don't even think about entering a high family.

It would be fine to lower the requirements and marry an ordinary person. With the dowry and support provided by the Xie family, her husband's family would only support her, but the old lady couldn't bear to marry her at a low price.

Such a beautiful person, well-educated, good at calligraphy and painting, would be a waste by marrying at a low age.

The old lady rolled her eyes.

"Among the students in the Imperial College, are there one or two who have outstanding character and appearance but whose family background is slightly poorer?"

"My son has also had this idea, and he has indeed fallen in love with a few outstanding people, but..."

"But what?"

At this point, Xie Daozhi can only tell the truth.

"She has been away for three months. In fact, she is not going back to Yunnan Mansion to visit Grandfather Yan's grave, but to help the old lady of the Ji family resolve her thoughts and demons. Our youngest is accompanying her."

Xie Daozhi whispered: "I didn't dare to tell you. Firstly, I can't make it public, and secondly, I'm afraid you will miss me."

It was like several lightning strikes from the sky, which made the old lady's eyes go straight.

I immediately understood that the "difficulty" my son mentioned was not the same thing as the "difficulty" I thought.

This girl is either too high or too low, or she can't get married at all.

Who would marry a person who can transform thoughts and demons into the dead?

"Then, what to do then?"

She panicked all of a sudden.

"You can't be an old girl all your life. There is already one in the family, and another one... Oh, it's not that she can't afford to support her, the key is that she can't live up to her grandfather!"

Xie Daozhi said: "Don't panic, mother, this matter needs to be considered in the long run."

No matter how long-term the plan is, I can't get married.

The old lady grabbed her son's hand and said, "Isn't the second child not married yet? How about rationing him?"

"Mother!"

Xie Daozhi stood up and said, "What are you talking about?"

……

Muxiangyuan.

The lights are dim.

Aunt Liu sat under the lamp and listened to Xie Wanshu talking about what happened at the dinner table.

After her daughter finished speaking, she rubbed her daughter's head and said softly: "It's late, go to bed, don't kick up the quilt at night, and let the maid be more careful."

"Where's brother?"

Xie Wanshu glanced at Xie Buyu, who was leaning against the window, "Brother, aren't you leaving?"

"My aunt and I have something to say, you go back first."

"I just like to whisper to my aunt without telling me."

Xie Wanshu muttered, saluted Aunt Liu, then turned and left.

Xie Buyu then walked over and sat down.

"She just said something wrong. After my mother said that, not only the old lady's face changed, but also my father, eldest brother, and even my sister-in-law's expressions didn't look good."

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

Xie Buhuo: "This Yan Sanhe has something to do with our family."

"Other than that?" "She is not an ordinary woman in a boudoir, and she doesn't have much respect for the old lady."

Aunt Liu thought for a moment, "That girl is not an old lady's mother-in-law."

Xie Buyu was shocked, "Why?"

"Look at her fingers. They are long, thin and white. The old lady's family is very poor and cannot raise such a pair of good hands. This is one of the reasons."

Aunt Liu poured a cup of warm tea for her son.

"The furnishings in Xi'en Hall are the best in the whole mansion. She walked in from the outside and didn't look sideways. The third child helped her recognize people, and she recognized them Luo Luo and generous. The old lady's natal family couldn't raise such a person who is neither humble nor overbearing. Come."

Xie Buhuo thought about it carefully, and it actually made sense.

"It's not without rules that she asked the wife and grandma to sit down for dinner. Firstly, it shows that she is bold, and secondly, it also shows that she has a kind heart, otherwise she would not have rescued your sister in the first place."

Aunt Liu had a smile on her face.

"Wu slapped her in the face like that, but she didn't say a word, which shows that she has a lot of temper. People with a lot of temper are either well-educated, or they are arrogant and don't bother to say anything.

So, even though she is an orphan, the water behind her will not be shallow. "

"Auntie's analysis is correct."

Xie Buhuo thought for a while and then said: "The way she eats is slow and orderly. How she places her chopsticks and spoons is very good. It shows that she is well-educated."

"So the water is deeper." Aunt Liu looked at her son and sighed deeply.

"Okay, aunt, why are you sighing?"

"As for Miss Yan, my aunt is not worried about anything else, she is only worried about one thing."

"what?"

"I'm afraid the old lady will make an issue out of your marriage."

Xie Buyu was shocked, "Obviously the old lady called her and the third child to sit next to her."

Aunt Liu sipped her tea and said, "You are a concubine, and the third child is the legitimate son; you are the elder, and the third child is the youngest; the third child is in the officialdom, and only Du Yiyun is worthy; and you are engaged in business."

Not sure if it was because of the few glasses of wine he drank at the dinner table, Xie Buhuo felt not only chest tightness, but also very irritable.

"do not worry."

Aunt Liu patted the back of her son's hand and said, "If you are interested in her, just accept. People like her can only help you and will never be a drag."

Xie Buyu sneered, "What if I'm not interested in her?"

Aunt Liu looked at her son's handsome face lovingly and said calmly: "Then no one can think of wronging my son."

"Father!"

Wu Xing's voice sounded outside.

"Auntie, I'm going!"

"Rest early."

Xie Buhuo nodded to Aunt Liu, opened the curtain and walked out.

Wu Xing stepped forward and whispered: "Second Master, someone from the Ji family just came, and Third Master personally led them to Jingsi Residence."

Xie Buhuo's pupils suddenly tightened, "What does Jingsi Ju have to do with the Ji family?"

Wu Xing shook his head.

"Who from the Ji family is here?"

"It's Uncle Ji Mansion."

Xie Buhuo frowned, "Do you still remember that Yan Sanhe went to Ji's house before leaving the capital?"

"Remember, Mr. Pei took him to Ji's house, and he stayed at Ji's house for most of the day before he came back."

"Don't you think it's weird?"

Xie Buhuo's voice was darker than the night, "She left for Ji's house. Just after she came back, someone from Ji's house came again."

Wu Xing nodded: "It's a little strange."

Xie Buhuo: "When Yan Sanhe left, the third child became ill; when Yan Sanhe came back, the third child recovered from his illness. Is it such a coincidence?"

Wu Xing: "..."

"Mom is right, the water behind this girl is very deep."

Xie Buhuo shook his sleeves and strode into the night.
