Chapter 155

The old lady Xie pointed at Xie Xianer's hands trembling, and said sharply, "The unfilial thing is that your family hangs all your belongings on your body, making you come home to show off like a rich man. The elders taught you A few words have turned into besieging you? How can you be so dignified and virtuous as a noblewoman!"

Xie Xian'er was taken aback, quickly put down her hand playing with the butterfly, and said aggrievedly, "Grandmother, don't be angry, please teach me slowly if I am wrong. Just now you were not besieging me, but reprimanding our family Improper dressing, reprimand me for being unrefined and unvirtuous, I only know after you tell me. But I am really wronged, since I was a child, you have never told me how to dress, let alone how to dress Filial piety and virtuousness. Moreover, since I can remember, what I have heard the most is the scolding of the slaves, and there is still a lack of food and clothing. How can you make me more expensive..."

Before he finished speaking, he took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears, crying and talking, feeling extremely wronged.Seeing Brother Zhen and Brother Xian, they both ran over and pulled Xie Xianer's skirt and howled loudly, "Mother, mother, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Tai Chi also joined in the fun, crawling on Xie Xian'er's lap and shouting loudly with his three-petal mouth open.

The old lady was so angry that her body shook a little, and the girl next to her hurried to give her a break.

Seeing this, Anping, the second wife, and the third wife couldn't hold back their words. Xie Honghui waved to them, and they swallowed half of what they said.

Xie Honghui said to Xie Xian'er with a rare good temper, "Girl Xian, I know that you are angry. Our Xie family has ignored you for so many years. But no matter what, it can't erase the fact that you are my Xie family's daughter. Let the past be the past, we have to look forward. Feelings come out of love, in the future you will go back to your mother's house when you have nothing to do, and show filial piety in front of the elders, and they will naturally love you after getting along for a long time."

Xie Xian'er covered her eyes with a veil and glanced at the old lady whose face was already pale with anger. If she had something wrong, it would be a big disaster for her.What's more, today is enough trouble, some things can't be rushed, we need to discuss them slowly.So he wiped away his tears and put away the handkerchief, comforted the two children, and asked them to sit on the brocade tree.Then he started to lower his head and fiddle with the big "butterfly" on the back of his hand, ignoring Xie Honghui's nonsense.

And Xie's family all followed Xie Honghui's lead, including the old lady.Seeing what Xie Honghui said, no matter how angry Xie Xian'er was, he didn't dare to say a word of disobedience.Only the brave Xie Yan'er was so angry that she still wanted to say something, seeing the third lady's stare, she had no choice but to swallow the words that came out of her mouth with a handkerchief.

Xie Zongyang broke the silence and said, "The fourth brother-in-law brought some good weapons for father and elder brother, do you want to see them?"

Xie Honghui had heard He Shangshu say that Ma Erlang had used some kind of good weapon in his hands, and he was always itchy and embarrassed to ask for it.I didn't expect to send it to myself this time, and it was still quite a few.This thing really sent it to his heart.

He immediately showed a big smile, the smile that reached the eyes, even Xie's family rarely saw it.He laughed and said, "Fourth son-in-law, you gave me a big gift, I will remember this."

Second Master Ma also knew how to show his merits, and said, "This time I brought all the good weapons to my father-in-law, even the knives and swords I gave to my father before."

Xie Honghui was even happier, stroked his short beard and smiled, "Go back and thank my in-laws on my behalf."

Second Master Ma said seriously, "Father-in-law, you thanked the wrong person. If you want to thank, you should also thank the girl, because these weapons were all polished in her dowry shop."

Xie Honghui's face turned pale. He had heard that Xie Xian'er had opened a blacksmith shop. It was said that the hoes, shovels, axes, and kitchen knives produced were very popular among farmers and cooks.He was a little angry when he heard it before, and felt that the Xie family's daughter had lost face to the Xie family by playing with these things, but he didn't expect that those weapons he had been coveting for a long time were made by her.But let him thank Xie Xian'er, he can't do it no matter what.Then he said to the men of Xie's family with a haha, "Let's go, go and see the weapons my son-in-law gave me."

The men all got up and went to the yard to look at the weapons.The weapons were piled up on the ground, and without exception, they were all slightly changed in style, and they were also brighter, making them look even more chilly under the winter sun.

Xie Honghui bent down and picked up a sword. On the silver and black scabbard, patterns of auspicious clouds were nailed with copper nails. The copper nails were shiny and golden.The arc of the sword held in the hand was just right, and a few jade stones were inlaid on it.Pulling the sword out of its sheath, he felt a cold light rushing towards his face. Not only was the blade sharp, it was also a bit lighter than the sword he usually used.

Xie Honghui gestured twice and said to Ma Erlang, "Fourth son-in-law, this sword looks sharp and beautiful, but it is thinner and lighter than other swords. I'm afraid it's not strong?"

Ma Erlang didn't say anything, he bent down and picked up another sword.He drew his sword out of its sheath, and stabbed and struck the bluestone on the ground vigorously with the sword, only to hear a harsh sound, and a deep mark was drawn on the bluestone.He put the sword away and said, "Father-in-law, do you think it is still strong?"

Everyone present was astonished. The sword head was slightly bent during the stone cutting process, but it did not break.If this were replaced by an ordinary sword, the tip of the sword might be broken.

Ma Erlang looked around the yard, looking for an ordinary sword, but there was none.He saw a shovel standing on the trunk of a tree, probably placed there by the women tending the tree.He walked over and took the shovel and handed it to Xie Zongyang.He raised the sword in his hand and dropped it, and with the exclamation of everyone, the head of the shovel was chopped off in half.

When Xie Honghui was surprised, he asked Xie Zongyang to continue to hold the shovel, and like Ma Erlang, he chopped down with the shovel, and the remaining Tieqiu head was chopped off in half.He took the sword in front of him again and looked carefully. There was not even a single gap on the sword.He burst into ecstasy, and laughed loudly, "Hahahahaha, this sword is as tough and sharp as the Longquan Excalibur handed down from ancient times, with a combination of hardness and softness. God bless me to get this sword!"

The women continued to stay in the hall, and the hall was silent.When Xie Honghui's loud laughter came in, everyone in the room was surprised.Xie Honghui has a calm and gloomy personality. He usually doesn't talk and smile, and occasionally smiles without reaching his eyes. This is the first time he laughs so heartily.It seems that the gift for these two couples is really the right one.

After a while, Xie Honghui and a group of men returned to the living room.Xie Honghui sat back on the head, wiped his hands with white silk and said, "Fourth girl, son-in-law is right, I want to thank you for my father, and also for your brother."

Envious and jealous eyes shot at Xie Xian'er in the room.Xie Xian'er said in her heart, I sent my brother off sincerely, and I sent you off just by the way.But he said, "Father, the so-called treasure sword is given to heroes, father and elder brother are both great heroes, and they deserve this sword."

These words not only made Xie Honghui happy, but also made Anping smile, and the eyes that saw Xie Xianer for the first time softened a little.The old lady was first angered by Xie Xian'er, but she still had a sullen face and didn't smile at all.

Xie Honghui nodded and smiled, "Good girl, well said." He stroked his short beard to look at Xie Xian'er, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this daughter not only looked the most like him, but also was most like him in intelligence, and even had the best flattering skills like him.

Then think about how many years of tempering a good knife and sword have to be polished by the predecessors, but they have produced so many in such a short period of time.Regardless of whether it was made by Ma Erlang or this girl, Ma Erlang's good future cannot be lost.What's more, Ma Er is still the legitimate son of Duke Yu.It's really a shame to marry him. It would be a pity if he was randomly assigned to a poor family.

Anping also knew how important good weapons are to the men and sons who go to battle to kill the enemy, and said with a smile, "Young girl Xian has such a sweet mouth. Not only did your words make your father feel at ease, but I am also happy to hear it."

While everyone was talking, people from the front yard came to report that His Royal Highness, His Highness Third, and Prince Zhu of Shun Palace had arrived.Upon hearing this, Xie Honghui led the men to the front yard.Because Zhu Deyi came, he took Brother Xian and Brother Zhen to the front yard, and Tai Chi followed them to join in the fun.

Zhu Dezhi, Zhu Deli, and Zhu Deyi were a little surprised by the local tyrants of Ma Erlang's family, and the first two inevitably made fun of them.But when they saw the weapons Ma Erlang gave them, their eyes were filled with inexplicable light.Not only did he warm up to him all of a sudden, he even begged for weapons in public.

Ma Erlang had no choice but to promise, "If we get it out again, we must send it to the two Highnesses first."

When Zhu Deyi left, he wanted to take Brother Xian away, but Brother Xian didn't do it, he must stay with his mother.

After the meal, the family sent Xie Honghui out of the gate. Seeing him leaving with dozens of family soldiers, the old lady and Anping cried aloud.

Xie Xian'er and Ma Erye's family of four did not enter the door again, but left directly.

Sister Xue pulled Xie Xianer's clothes and said, "Fourth Aunt, Sister Xue still wants to go to your amusement park."

Xie Xian'er smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Xue is here, Fourth Aunt will make delicious snacks for you."

The people in the second and third rooms originally wanted to get in touch with Xie Xianer today, so they could go to the amusement park in Mafu.But as soon as they came, the two sides were full of gunpowder, and the quarrel was so unpleasant that it was hard to talk about going to the amusement park.

Several people returned to the Jiange, and immediately took off their outfits.Ma Erlang, who was already sweating profusely, said with relief, "It's much more comfortable now."

The two boys twisted their necks and said, "Our necks are all hanging."

Tai Chi was so wronged that he couldn't speak.

Xie Xian'er saw that the three people and one cat had been tossed by her for a long time, and they were all extremely cooperative, so she resigned to her fate and went to the kitchen in the backyard to prepare delicious snacks for them.

In the afternoon, several people left the Jiange with two boxes of snacks.Walking to the fork in the road, the two children and Tai Chi went to the amusement park, while Xie Xian'er and Ma Erye went directly to Fuqingyuan.

The second wife, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Qin were already sitting there.

The old lady smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law Erlang, just now we were talking about grandma never doing business with Ben, this time grandma was conspired by you for two good things, and you have to get back the principal with interest."

 Thank you for the monthly pass, safety talisman and gift, thank you for the sweet-scented osmanthus wine from Life Like Water, thank you for your care and love, Qingquan feels warm and grateful!
