A Thousand Hills

Chapter 222

After the award, the imperial capital was filled with joy.

Of course, there are also many people who have started to hold funerals.There must be sacrifices in war, as long as they are on the death list, no matter which one, Xie Moru will send someone to send a funeral.Then start preparing for the family dinner.

It has been a while since they returned to the emperor, and they have been busy going to the palace to fulfill their filial piety, and the family banquet has not yet started.On the contrary, Mrs. Xie and others have come here earlier, since Xie Moru has come back here, he should hold a small banquet and invite her family to have a drink and talk.

Mrs. Wu's body is already a bit heavy, Mrs. Yu, Xie Lan's wife, is supporting Mrs. Xie, behind her is a nanny holding a one-year-old baby, this is Xie Lan's eldest daughter.Then came the second wife Su, Xie Jing, Su's second son Xie Heng, Yu Yao and sister-in-law Liang.

Xie Moru invited everyone to sit down, and said, "I wanted to hold a banquet earlier, please come here. When I came back, the manor was also in a hurry, so it was delayed until now."

Mrs. Xie smiled, "My lady is safe, so we can rest assured. We are not outsiders. It's cheaper anytime sooner or later." Grandson Xie Zhi was also promoted, the key is to come back safely, thank you The wife is just happy when there are happy events.

The Su family also said the same thing, saying, "I heard that the war is dangerous. My aunt and I went to Xishan Temple to burn incense when we have time. The incense in Xishan Temple is really effective." Although Xie Yun is in the army, he is in the army directly under Liu Fufeng The logistics of food and grass, unless it is really short-lived, otherwise the logistics is a very safe place.Naturally, Xie Yun also got a promotion this time.

After everyone talked, Xie Moru let Xie Heng go to the front to play. Xie Moru said, "My lord doesn't have a day off these days. I thought that he would be free for his rest and bath, so His Majesty called him into the palace again. Ah Heng Go to the front, Dalang and the others are here, you should be able to talk to one place." Then he asked how is Mrs. Wu?
Wu naturally put her hands on her lower abdomen. Since she had a body, she often did this movement. She smiled, "Sister Lao is thinking about it, it's all good."

Speaking of Wu's child, Xie Moru said, "I thought that my younger siblings were also spoiled and raised. When we left Min'an City, I was really worried about your body."

Wu smiled, "I was afraid at first, but then I thought, with my eldest sister, my husband is also there, anyway, life and death are all in one place, so I don't have to be afraid."

Xie Jing said, "Sister-in-law's birth, whether it's a nephew or a niece, is a blessing."

Su Shi also smiled, "That's right."

Xie Moru asked Xie Lan's wife Yu Shi a few more words, and ordered someone to prepare a meeting gift, and gave Yu Shi a set of gold inlaid jade jewelry, which was slightly inferior to the one given to Wu Shi.This is also easy to understand. After all, Mrs. Wu is the elder sister-in-law, but the things for the eldest daughter of Mrs. Yu are absolutely precious. There are gold collars, bracelets, and toys for children, as well as a pair of sheep fat jade walls. Mrs. Yu, who was born in the Marquis's Mansion, also felt that this item was rare, Mrs. Yu felt that it was precious, Mrs. Xie smiled, "Take it for us big girl, Your Majesty has always liked girls."

Xie Moru said, "Yes, others are looking forward to a son, our family is different, our family has few girls, the second sibling is very lucky."

When Yu's first child was born, she felt sorry for her in-law's family at first, but later saw that her in-law's family was holding girls' treasures, so she felt relieved.Seeing that Xie Moru likes her daughter so much now, Yu Shi smiled, "With my mother's good words, I hope that she will be safe and sensible in the future."

Xie Moru asked the nanny to bring the child over, took it into her arms and looked at it carefully, and even teased it, it was rare that the child was not naughty, Xie Moru grinned after teasing it.Xie Moru asked with a smile, "This child is really nice, can I name it?"

"Not yet, I'll be called Eldest Sister at home, and have the right to be a nickname." Mrs. Yu is also somewhat clever, and hurriedly said, "I often hear my grandmother say that my mother is the most knowledgeable, so it's better for my mother to give her a big name. "

Xie Moru thought for a while and said, "Nowadays there are wars all over the world. According to the Zuo Zhuan, when you are in peace, you are prepared for danger. If you think about it, you will be prepared. This child, why not call him Si'an."

Mrs. Yu thanked Xie Moru for giving her name, took her over, and said, "Mother, we won this big victory, will there be wars in the future?"

Xie Moru smiled, "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, you can never go wrong at any time."

Yu Shi seemed to understand but didn't understand, so he didn't ask any more questions.Xie Mo, like Yu Yao and the Liang family, told them about the Yu family in Fujian, and told them that the Yu family is generally safe.Yu Yao clasped her hands together, "I just hope that there will be no more wars in Fujian, and the house will be peaceful."

Mrs. Xie took it very seriously, "Yes, there is nothing more important than peace in the world."

After everyone talked, we had a banquet at noon, and in the afternoon, Mrs. Xie got up and took the whole family to leave.Mrs. Xie is very happy, her grandchildren are safe, her grandchildren have been promoted, and the family is thriving, a sign of prosperity, what else is there to be dissatisfied with.

However, as soon as Mrs. Xie came home, the eldest daughter-in-law of the third room, Mrs. Li, came over and cried, Xie Moru even invited girls from the aunt's family like Yu Yao, but she didn't invite people from the third room. .

Mrs. Xie can't do anything about it. If Mrs. Xie is the one who decides, she will give Sanfang face no matter what.Xie Moru was different, Xie Moru didn't even give Empress Dowager Hu any face, the third wife of Xie's family obviously didn't have enough weight for Xie Moru to give them extra face.

In fact, the matter of Xie Moru neglecting Sanfang has already been explained countless times to Mrs. Xie Shangshu, telling all kinds of misunderstandings. The old lady Xie San also stated that she was old and confused, and offended Xie Moru before.Mrs. Xie, Xie Shangshu also said good things for Sanfang in front of Xie Moru, but Xie Moru ignored Sanfang's intentions at all.

Xie Moru's temper, after Mrs. Xie persuaded him politely, Xie Moru didn't respond, and Mrs. Xie didn't want to bother Xie Moru about the third bedroom.Now, with King Min's victory and return to the capital, Xie Moru's weight is getting heavier. Although the relationship with Queen Mother Hu is still not good, it is clear that Emperor Mu Yuan is not dissatisfied with Xie Moru. It is obvious that Xie Moru once returned to the imperial capital. The king's daughter entered the palace to study, and Emperor Mu Yuan approved this matter, which to a large extent represented Emperor Mu Yuan's attitude towards Xie Moru.

Emperor Mu Yuan was not a fatuous person. At the same time, Emperor Mu Yuan was also a dutiful son. It can be seen from the fact that the emperor immediately raised his birth mother from the position of the imperial concubine to the position of the empress dowager as soon as he took office.An emperor who tried his best to be a filial son was willing to accept the opinion of a prince and concubine whose mother didn't like it, which to a large extent could explain Emperor Mu Yuan's approval of Xie Moru.

Xie Moru is stepping up step by step, and Mrs. Xie also knows that Xie Moru's affection for her mother clan is not as close as it is shown on the outside. However, Xie Moru is still willing to support the brothers in the clan. Xie Moru has shown generosity Mrs. Xie is even more unwilling to live with Xie Moru because of Sanfang.Moreover, Mrs. Xie was also very angry at Xie Yan for provoking Xie Moyou. Xie Moyou is not a very thoughtful person, but he can live a good life, but his ears are soft. In the end, Xie Yan let Xie Moyou Mo You made a big fool of herself.

If this was done by others, Mrs. Xie would not be so angry. Only Xie Yan, Mrs. Xie thinks that she has never treated her badly, but she doesn't know how she has such a vicious heart.Because of what Xie Yan did, Mrs. Xie really left the third room cold.

Now that Mrs. Li came over, Mrs. Xie's face was also kind. When Mrs. Li came back, she didn't cry or cry, and she didn't talk about the past. When I came back, I really had no place to go, so I went back to my mother's house for half a day, and happened to meet my sister-in-law coming back, so I came over to sit."

Mrs. Xie had already annoyed Xie Yan, and said, "Ah Yan is free."

Li Shi and Xie Yan are sisters-in-law, for a sister-in-law like Xie Yan, Li Shi was just coaxing her, but ever since Xie Yan cheated on Xie Moyou, Li Shi was also very angry, and had turned against Xie Yan long ago.As soon as Xie Yan returned to her natal family, Mrs. Li would go out for a stroll, out of sight and out of mind.Li Shi said, "I don't know why she is so free. As someone else's wife, she still runs to her mother's house all day long. She won't be happy if she doesn't mess up her mother's house. I'm also thinking about it now. A day of happiness is a day."

Mrs. Xie is the elder sister-in-law, so it's not good to blame Xie Yan together, Mrs. Xie said, "Let her go, Ah Yan has big ideas."

Mrs. Li sneered, and sat at Mrs. Xie's place until it was getting dark before returning home. Mrs. Li avoided going out for a day, thinking that Xie Yan would have gone back to her in-law's house, but she didn't want Xie Yan to still be there. Did not go, went directly back to his courtyard to rest.Xie Nu was still a little unhappy when he returned to the house, and said, "It's rare for my sister to come back. As the eldest sister-in-law, you should show your face."

Mrs. Li said coldly, "It's rare for her to come back, and no one has asked her to come back! You don't have to mention her in front of me in the future, tell me to show up, what do I do when I show up, and wait for her to trick me with a hidden knife!"

Xie Nu sighed, "Ayan also knows that she is wrong, why do you always mention this."

"That's right, I stabbed you once, and said calmly that I knew I was wrong, and the matter will be over." Li Shi sneered coldly, "Cooperating with others is a fool! I advise the elder to stop wishful thinking, sir. My uncle knows better than me how my sister-in-law treated her in the first place. If she can attack Mo You, she can also attack you and me in the future! Even if I hide from such a person, I am afraid that I will be caught at some point. Why don't I get close to him! "

Xie Nu was not an ignorant person either, and said, "Then tell me, what's going to happen?"

Mrs. Li said coldly, "I don't know what to do. The master is the head of the family. If you want to allow such a prodigal person to come in and out, I will just pretend that this person is gone."

Xie Nu choked, he really couldn't drive his sister out of the house, that would be to tell her to die.But thinking about what his sister did, Xie Nu can't blame his wife. This matter has chilled the hearts of many people, even Xie Nu himself does not blame Xie Yan for being confused.But things have come to this, what can we do?

Seeing that her husband was silent, Li could only sneer.

In fact, Xie Yan's side is not too big, she is only the two sister-in-laws, the eldest sister-in-law Li Shi is too lazy to see her now, and the second sister-in-law Yu Shi is bitter, and treats her no better than before.Xie Yan, who was born on the sidelines, was also a person who didn't know what to do. When she heard that Mrs. Li was going home, she said to the third old lady, "I still think that my sister-in-law won't come back when I come home."

Before the third old lady could speak, Mrs. Yu laughed, "Look at what my aunt said, the water is always poured out by the married daughter-in-law, but I never said that the water poured out by the married daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is all Married to her husband. It seems that my sister-in-law and I are members of the Xie family since we entered the Xie family. The sister-in-law is also the daughter-in-law. In this family, no one has the right to come back, and there is no reason why the sister-in-law cannot come back. My aunt has always been reasonable, is that what I said?"

Xie Yan was very angry.

The third old lady frowned, "Let's not say a few words." She waved her hand and sent Yu Shi down, so she didn't need to serve her anymore.

The third old lady also suffered a lot of complaints because of her daughter, and because of her wrongdoing, she lost her confidence in her daughter-in-law.Yu got up to leave, and Xie Yan said, "Mother, you don't know, our mother is happy."

The three old ladies were overjoyed, "Oh, Madam Ning is happy!" This was referring to the Ning family who was a side concubine in the East Palace.

Xie Yan glanced at Mrs. Yu intentionally or unintentionally, with a flash of pride in her eyes, "Yes! Our wife has entered the palace today."

"Oh, congratulations to the aunt. But, I don't know who this lady Ning is? Why don't you tell me about it, and open my eyes. I have been a woman in my whole life, and I don't know much about it. All I know is that there is a noble concubine in Xie's palace, a concubine of Fujian in the prince's mansion, and a son-in-law and a princess on errands in Xining, but I don't know which tablet this empress Ning is on?" Yu Xie was so angry that his face turned livid. Trembling all over, Fang Xiaoying flung the handkerchief and went away.

Yu Shi is also full of anger, Niang Niang!Pooh!What an insightful thing!Thinking that Xie Yan is also from everyone, the Xie family has a lot of prominent royal relatives, all of whom have offended her, and now she opens and shuts up "Ms. Ning", what a thing!
