Chapter 29

Xie Siye turned a blind eye, took out a topographic map of mountains and rivers and told himself, "Your Uncle Zhang was appointed as the Generalissimo who conquered Yi. Since... at the end of the month, Duobang, an important fortress in Annan, was captured, Xiaoqi, look, Duobang is in this place... In May of this year, he won a big victory..."

After Xie Liunian listened intently to the expedition, he stretched out his little finger to point to the letter beside him, "Daddy, read it." Let me listen to what the letter says.Fourth master Xie didn't take the letter, but said indifferently: "The letter was written by Zhang Yi. They have already set off from Huzhou and passed by Taikang Society to visit." The content of the letter is summarized, and the content of the letter is not read.

Feeling guilty, Xie Liunian knew it.Zhang Xi must have received a letter a few months ago, but he never let himself read it, violating the minor's right to know!Xie Liunian got up and moved around, moved to the position opposite to Fourth Master Xie and sat down cross-legged, with a small face, wanting to reason with Fourth Master Xie.

She wanted to say: You are wrong to withhold my mail!I also want to say: Although I am young, I also have my own ideas. You can’t just write a reply letter for me without asking me a question!However, after brewing for a long time, she found that it was too difficult to express her meaning clearly.He simply didn't speak, just sat upright and looked at Fourth Master Xie with condemning eyes.

The silence speaks.

He Li was making a snow-white coat, and suddenly let out an "ouch".Xie Liunian hurriedly turned her head to look, she was raising her thumb, and there was a drop of bright red blood on the fingertip. "It's a needle prick, it's fine." Seeing Fourth Master Xie and Xie Liunian turning to look at her, he said apologetically.

"Come here." Fourth Master Xie's voice was flat.He Li put down his needle and thread and came over, he blamed himself, "I blame me for not being careful." Such a big person would still get his hands stabbed.Fourth Master Xie didn't speak, he opened his mouth and grabbed his bloody thumb.

Xie Liunian tilted his head and watched seriously.He sucked a few times, and then the bleeding stopped.It works, not bad.He Li stood aside, his face turned red with embarrassment, "Yulang!" How could he do this in front of Xiao Qi.

Xie Liunian patted his little palm twice, and giggled a few times.Fourth Master Xie looked at He Li, looked at his daughter, and ordered: "A Li, put Xiao Qi to sleep." It seems that he will not leave tonight.He Li blushed even more, and an ambiguous atmosphere flowed in the room, which is not suitable for young children.

"I won't sleep." Xie Liunian shook his head with a serious face, "I won't sleep, you two should go to sleep quickly."

"You two girls"?The corner of Xie Siye's mouth twitched, where did this come from?He Li burst out laughing, "Listen to what this child has to say!" Usually he would say "my mother" to coax her to sleep, but now when it came to herself and Yulang, she still said "my mother".it's so funny.

Carry Xie Liunian to the side, let the nanny and Xiao Ying coax her to play and put her to sleep.He Li and Fourth Master Xie went back to the inner room, washed up and went to bed, inevitably teased, "Yulang, both of us should go to bed quickly."

"Naughty, it's time to hit!" Fourth Master Xie gently grabbed He Li's hands and brought her into his arms, "A Li, you are getting bolder." Dare to tease men.It's okay, you have to teach yourself a lesson.

The next day, even though He Li didn't put on any makeup, it was still hard to hide the beauty of spring.When he went to pay his respects to the Fourth Wife, He Li was extremely respectful, fearing that the Fourth Wife would be unhappy and take advantage of him.Unexpectedly, the fourth wife just looked coldly and disgusted, and didn't say anything.

The fourth wife is busy.Yue Ze and Yue Cheng are about to return to Beijing, so they need to pack their luggage, carefully consider the gift list for their natal family and sisters, Xie Yannian and Xie Jinnian are still arguing about going to Beijing to visit their grandfather and grandmother, but the fourth wife is also tempted and thinking about it.

How can I care about theoretical aunts and concubines.Besides, Mrs. Xie made it clear that she was partial to Xiaoqi, and even her own aunt, who was partial to Xiaoqi, couldn't afford to upset the old lady.

"It's only like this three times or twice in a month, let's tolerate it." The fourth wife comforted herself, "If it's like the big lady, wouldn't it be even worse? My husband is far away in Liaodong, and she is alone in Jingninghou's mansion. , that would kill people."

Back then when they were in their boudoirs, the sisters secretly envied the eldest sister for her good marriage, "The disciples of the Jingning Hou's family are noble, and the husband and son-in-law are a good-looking talent, and they treat her with tenderness and consideration, just like giving birth to children", envious of everyone.Things are going well now, the lobby brother-in-law Yue Ting left the town of Liaodong three or four years ago. Although he is a high-ranking and powerful person, he only returns to Beijing once in three years.No matter how heroic the husband-in-law is, the husband and wife can only see each other once in three years, just like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, so what's so good about it.

"Auntie!" Yue Cheng rushed in excitedly, "My grandfather and the others are coming to Taikang soon!" Soon to see grandfather, aunt, and cousins, Yue Cheng's eyes lit up excitedly.He often went to Dongchanghou Mansion since he was a child, and often played with Axie and Yaya.I haven't seen you in two years, but I've thought about it a lot.

"That's good." The fourth wife smiled, "When they pass by Taikang, uncles and aunts must live up to their friendship as landlords." The eldest sister's father-in-law, Jingning Marquis Yuepei, is both an elder and a distinguished person, so he can't be neglected up.

Not only the fourth wife, but also the old lady Xie, the second wife, and the third wife all said in unison, "When Lord Yue Hou arrives in Taikang, Xie's mansion must be the master again." We must treat the distinguished guests who came from afar.

Old Madam Xie is fine, anyway, she is already old, ordinary relatives do not walk around, and her son and daughter-in-law will do it for her.The second wife and the third wife were very enthusiastic, "Don't neglect the honored guest." Especially the honored guest has a fourteen-year-old grandson in his family.

After Yue Pei and his group waited for Taikang to move into Yiyuan, Fourth Master Xie and Fourth Wife visited first.They were a husband and wife, with brothers Yue Ze and Yue Cheng.

"Auntie, you bring my daily necessities, I'll sleep with Brother Chi tonight." Before leaving Xie's mansion, Yue Cheng asked.When he and Yue Ze arrived in Yiyuan, they would definitely stay there.Yue Ze wanted to fight Shen Chen, and he wanted to fight Yue Chi.The fourth wife pursed her lips and smiled, agreeing.

The fourth wife knew that Yue Pei was accompanied by his daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and in-laws. This group of people must be a large number.However, when she really saw this group of people, she was still a little dizzy.

Xie Yu and his party set off from Huzhou, Zhang Yu asked for leave after returning to the court and set off from the capital, and happened to meet up in Taikang.Zhang Yu, Xie Yu and his wife, three sons and one daughter, Shen Mai, Yue Pei, Fu Shen, An Zan, are all in Yiyuan.

Yue Pei and Fu Shen have lived in Huzhou for more than half a year. One is teaching Zhang Xi and the other is teaching Yaya.Shen Mai and An Zan accompanied Zhang Yu out of Beijing to pick up their grandchildren, and the journey went smoothly.

As soon as Fourth Master Xie and Fourth Wife brought Yue Ze and Yue Chengfu into Yi Garden, Zhang Yu came out with his three sons.After entering the living room, Yue Pei, Shen Mai, and Fu Shen An Zan were all there, and there was a lot of trouble just saluting and exchanging pleasantries.Afterwards, the four older boys were talking about the Annan War, and the four old men watched Zhang Xie and Yaya playing. Zhang Xie and his wife entertained Xie Siye and his wife with refreshments in the living room.

Brothers Yue Ze and Yue Cheng listened attentively to Shen Chen's talk about the Annan War, while Yue Chi listened with a smile on the side.The four big boys gathered together, talking about killing people in battle, they were all beaming, and it was very lively.

Sitting in the living room of Yiyuan, the fourth wife watched Ah Xie and Yaya call "Grandpa" to Shen Mai for a while, and "Grandfather" for Yue Pei.For a while, he called Fu Shen "Grandpa", and for An Zan, he called him "grandfather".The fourth wife was dizzy and dizzy.

Four children, four fathers, Nanning Hou and his wife are really strange!In the past, I only heard about it, but now I saw it with my own eyes, and the fourth wife was eye-opening.

Unlike his wife's inner turmoil, Fourth Master Xie was very calm from the inside out.He and Zhang Yu's family have known each other for a long time, and he appreciates the family's true temperament. "There is also a way to steal." Shen Mai, the former bandit, and Zhang Xi, the marquis who once lived in the rivers and lakes, are much better than many sanctimonious hypocrites.

At noon, old, middle and young men sit in the flower hall and have a feast.Xie Yu took Yaya to entertain the fourth wife in the small living room. The utensils were exquisite and the dishes were delicious. Xie Yu and Yaya laughed and laughed.

"If it wasn't for having four fathers, it would really be a good family." The fourth wife secretly regretted it.Thinking about it later, no, even if there were no four fathers and three sons with different surnames, it would still be a weird thing, very unusual.

All the people in the Dahua Hall exchanged cups, and the wine was in full swing. "Wuji, your Marquis Mansion is still intact?" Yue Pei asked with a smile.Although he was in Huzhou, he also heard the letter from Jingzhong, saying that the original Dongchang Hou Mansion was changed to Nanning Hou Mansion and bestowed on Zhang Yu.

"Yes." Zhang Yu scratched his head, "Even Yaya raises little rabbits, ducks, peacocks, and foxes, all of which are quite a few." When my family left Beijing, the officials who took over Dongchanghou's mansion had a look on their faces. Modestly asked, "How should you feed the young lady's fawns? How should you feed the peacocks? The emperor ordered that all be kept for the young lady, and nothing less." It is also a hard job, and you have to raise a lot of animals.

"Okay!" Zhang Xie cheered, his face excited, "Daddy, can I still live in the original house?" His original house was arranged for him by An Zan, Tan Ying, Zhang Yu, and Xie Yu , both comfortable and playful.During the period of leaving Dongchanghou Mansion, I often miss my old residence.

"Of course!" Zhang Yu patted the young son's head, "Son, it's fine to live in the original house or another yard after you go back. Parents will clean it up for you and make sure you're satisfied." And Yaya, Also let her choose.Zhang Xi doted on the youngest pair of children very much.

"Uncle treats Ah Xie so well." Yue Cheng looked envious.His father, Yue Ting, also loves the child, but one is too far away, and the other is a bit strict, unlike Zhang Yu who is easy-going and does not put on airs.

"It's the same for Aze and Acheng. Go to your uncle's house to pick a yard, and your uncle and aunt will arrange it for you." Zhang Yu looked like an uncle, "In the future, if you two want to live in the Jingninghou Mansion, you can live Jingning Marquis Mansion. If you want to live in Nanning Marquis Mansion, then live in Nanning Marquis Mansion.” Anyway, it’s not far away.

Yue Ze thanked him politely, "Thank you uncle for your kindness." Yue Cheng stood up suddenly, "Really? Uncle is so kind." What a good uncle.

Zhang Yu's face was bright.That is, I am a good uncle, unlike your father, who is sometimes a good brother and sometimes a bad brother.Yue Pei sneaked away from the table, sat on the side and laughed for a while, his stomach hurt from laughing.Wuji, Wuji!

When Yue Pei returned to the table, he saw his precious son Zhang Yu looking at Fourth Master Xie, asking as if asking for debts, "Wan Hong, where is my daughter-in-law, why didn't you come?"
