Lord Shang Shu is easy to bend down

Chapter 257 It is useless to try

"I bought it at the stall on the street that night, and my sister can ask Baozhi to look for it." Xie Yuanniang smiled, and walked slowly forward, "Walking in the temple all morning, some cutting Already, my sister should go back early and rest."

Xie Wenhui gritted her teeth and followed, "Shicai bought it that night, but now it seems I can't find it, what a pity."

Knowing that Xie Yuanniang was lying, there was nothing she could do.

"I heard that Young Master Jiang went to the border, and I don't know if he will be in the same place as Elder Brother." Xie Wenhui said seemingly unintentionally, his eyes were fixed on Xie Yuanniang's figure, neither his face nor anything could be seen.

"Sister and the young master are very familiar?" Xie Yuanniang could guess Xie Wenhui's expression without looking back, "If sister wants to know, write a letter to eldest brother and you will know."

"Yuanniang, what's the matter with you?" Xie Wenhui held her breath, trying to make her tone as kind as before, "Did sister do something? You don't talk to your sister now. Sometimes facing You are like facing an outsider."

"Does sister really care about me?" Xie Yuanniang stopped and looked back at her.

With an extremely serious expression, Xie Wenhui looked so guilty that he almost avoided her gaze.

"Why isn't it true? Aren't we sisters?" Xie Wenhui asked back.

When she answered, she could feel her heart beating happily.

Xie Yuanniang didn't speak, was silent for a while, then laughed, "I'm teasing my sister, why is my sister so nervous."

Xie Wenhui stared over in embarrassment, "Yuan Niang, how could you scare my sister?"

"Sister, don't you think it's so interesting?" Xie Yuanniang walked over with a smile, took her arm affectionately, and carried her to the courtyard gate together, "Sister also said, we are sisters, I know that my sister will not be with you." I care."

"You, you." Xie Wenhui poked her forehead, "Ren's Mansion and Dong's Mansion have an engagement these days. In the past, you and Miss Ren often walked around. Mother was not happy, and she didn't know how to prepare congratulatory gifts for Ren's Mansion. I'll let Mama Liu prepare it then, and if you have anything to bring to Ms. Ren, go back and prepare it, and just send it to Mama Liu."

"It's Big Brother Ren's happy event, so it's unreasonable to give something to Sister Ren, so let's forget it." Xie Yuanniang smiled.

Having reached the gate of the courtyard, the two sisters separated.

After returning to their respective courtyards, Xie Wenhui's face darkened, but she laughed again immediately. Anyway, now she and Ren Dong's family have formed a good relationship, and when she calms down in a few days, she will You can look for opportunities to send Dong Shi a post to visit Dong's mansion, and you will always find clues to General Liu's recovery.

In a teahouse, Ma Shang made an appointment with Ren Xianhong, and Ren Xianhong came alone.

The two sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke.

After a cup of tea, Ma Shang raised his eyes and looked at him, "I haven't congratulated Brother Ren yet."

"Thank you." Ren Xianhong looked at the tea in his hand and didn't say much.

"The day of Chunwei is set at the beginning of June, and this time I will enter the examination room with Brother Ren."

Ren Xianhong remained silent, and Ma Shang continued, "I have already told my parents in the mansion that after the Spring Festival, my mother will go to the Xie Mansion to propose marriage."

Ren Xianhong finally raised his head, and the eyes of the two collided in mid-air. After a long time, he said, "I'm here to congratulate Brother Ma first."

"Miss Xie deserves to be cherished." Ma Shang looked out of the window and was very angry and happy at the same time when he heard about Ren's and Dong's affairs.

He knew that this was not done by a gentleman, but when he thought of Miss Xie Er, the joy that welled up in his heart was not fake.

It's just that a gentleman does something and doesn't. He knows the matter between Miss Xie Er and Ren Xianhong, he appreciates Ren Xianhong, and his disposition also makes him do things aboveboard. Even if he wants to fight for it, he must make it clear in advance.

Afterwards, the two separated in the teahouse, and Ren Xianhong walked aimlessly on the street. He knew that the moment he decided to let go, he would wait for these things.

But for some reason, my heart couldn't help being disappointed and empty.

At the same time, Guo Ke from the Guo Mansion also sent someone to send a letter to the border. Not long after his letter was delivered, the nurse next to Mrs. Guo came, and Guo Ke followed with a smile to the main courtyard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, something was thrown towards him, and he avoided it with a light dodge of his habitual body.

with a snap.

He looked back and saw that a cup had fallen to the ground.

Guo Ke didn't take it seriously, and leaned over with a smile, "What's wrong with mother? Just scold the son for his mistakes, why bother to get angry and hurt his body."

"You still know not to make me angry? If you really have this kind of filial piety, you won't mess with your sister's reputation." Madam Guo poked him on the head angrily, angrily saying, "Tell me the truth, You spread the word that I have taken a fancy to Ren Fu, what is going on?"

When Guo Ke heard his mother mentioning his sister's reputation, he understood why his mother was angry, and said with a smile on his face, "Where did mother hear about it? Who is going out to ruin Sister Shen's reputation? If I know, I must let him know." Our Guo family is very powerful."

"Don't mess around here. If I don't know, how can I ask you?" Mrs. Guo twisted his ear, "If you don't tell me, wait until your father comes back at night, and see if I don't tell him."

When he heard about his father, Guo Ke got scared and begged for mercy, "I'll tell you. I fell in love with Xie Er, and I was afraid that Ren Xianhong would fight with me, so I released the news that my mother liked Ren Xianhong. Oh, my ears are about to fall off. Let go, mother."

Guo Ke scolded Jiang Cai in his heart, causing him to be punished now, but he dared not speak out about Jiang Cai.

Mrs. Guo was stunned, "Xie Er? But the Jinling Shuangshu?"

One side of the hand was also loosened.

As soon as Guo Ke got his freedom, he immediately jumped away and ran out, "My son is just talking nonsense to tease the Ren family. Ren Xianhong prides himself on being a genius, and he can't understand his son who has no literary talent, so he just teases him."

While saying this, people have already gone outside.

It was too late for Mrs. Guo to ask someone to stop her, so she could only scold a few words to herself, she is a housewife, how could she be coaxed by her son's words, and said to the nurse beside her, "This kid can't Do you really like Xie Er? There were a few banquets, I watched from a distance, but I didn't look too carefully, she was arrogant outside, and I saw a very quiet child."

"Madam can't be wrong in judging people. Some of the words passed by outsiders are true."

Mrs. Guo smiled, "Dragon Boat Festival will come in a few days, when you watch the dragon boats, you can take a closer look."

Guo Ke ran away, where a lie made his mother miss Xie Er.

At the Xie Mansion, Xie Wenhui asked Mama Liu to prepare a gift and sent it to the Ren Mansion the next day, and the Ren Mansion sent the gift in return. Kong knew that her daughter asked Mama Liu to give the gift, so she didn't ask or stop her. , Hearing that Ren Fu had returned the gift, he asked people to bring the gift back.
