The Abandoned Daughter

Chapter 87 The Second Cousin Is Here

Xie Ruzhuo gently opened the carriage curtain and looked outside. I saw on the front entrance of the government mansion there were a few large characters of Jiang Guo Mansion, the calligraphy was strong, the font seemed to be windy, and the words were written vigorously. There were a few stone lions squatting on both sides, with a pair of eyes watching the incoming person, as if they would pounce on the next moment.

Xie Ruzhuo was so busy putting down the curtain, hiding himself behind the carriage. Sure enough, she still couldn't face those past. Her previous life as a tiger caused a tragic ending for her relatives. In this life, she has come over from the beginning, and it does not mean that these pains do not exist. Others don't know how she can hide her heart from Xie Ruzhuo!

Xie Ruyue didn’t know what she was thinking. She thought it was because she hadn’t been here for a long time, so she was a little nervous, so she took her hand and smiled, “Don’t be afraid of Zhu’er. Will give birth"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone verified it.

There was only a loud laugh from a woman outside, "No wonder the old lady said that there were magpies calling early in the morning. It turned out that the three young masters and ladies came to the door, and they were all stunned to do what they were doing. Come down." It was Liu Ying, the maid beside her grandmother Cao.

The curtain of the carriage was immediately raised, and several maids helped Sister Xie Ruzhuo out. Seeing Liu Ying, Xie Ruyue immediately smiled, "Sister Liu Ying hasn't seen you for a long time, how have you been?"

Liu Ying supported her, and said, "Thanks to the two young ladies, I'm fine. It's freezing cold, you two will come in soon, the old lady is waiting in a hurry." But she couldn't help but look forward to it. Glancing at Xie Ruzhuo, this Miss Xie Si, who doesn't want to come to the door in the daytime, always makes some unpleasantness every time she comes. Coming today really made her feel a little hairy.

Xie Ruzhuo got out of the car and saw Liu Ying's eyes looking up. She nodded slightly to the latter, and then walked in.

There are a few plum trees planted in the yard. It is the mid-winter season and the plum blossoms are in full bloom. The pink plum blossoms are beautiful like clouds, adding a bit of vitality out of thin air to this deadly winter.

There was a maid playing with the curtains long ago and said with a smile, "But it's here, the old lady has been chanting several times, please come in soon three of you."

Xie Huainan walked in first, and sister Xie Ruzhuo followed. As soon as I walked in, I felt the warmth in the house. Xie Ruzhuo handed the cloak to the maid, and saw an old lady with silver hair sitting in the middle.

The old woman seemed to be about sixty years old, her eyebrows and her eyes were kind, and the wise light in her eyes showed that she was unusual.

Seeing the three of their sisters, the old lady smiled and said, "You three monkey cubs, have you finally remembered that my old lady is here?"

The three of Xie Huainan saluted first, "please greet my grandmother."

Xie Ruyue bowed, she deceived herself, snuggled up to the Cao family, and smiled, "My grandmother said this is so sad, but I am thinking about you every day."

Xie Ruzhuo stood still a little embarrassed. She had rarely seen the Cao family in her previous life. Now, although she is willing to please her, she can calmly act on the enemy. The closer she is to her relatives, the more she feels at a loss.

Cao nodded Xie Ruyue's nose, then got up and walked in front of Xie Ruzhuo, and when he touched her hand, he frowned, and said, "Why are your hands so cold, Liu Ying, and bring me soup for Miss Ciao."

With that said, Cao took her and sat on the kang again, and said with a smile, "Did Zhuoer ever eat breakfast?"

Xie Ruzhuo replied, "I have eaten it."

The Cao clan asked a few more questions, Xie Ruzhuo answered them one by one, and sat down beside Cao clan with eyebrows respectfully, but his heart was warm. She cherishes this feeling of being with relatives, even if she doesn't speak, she feels very warm.

Seeing her uncharacteristically, Xie Ruyue couldn't help but snickered, but said, "Grandma, you are so partial, don't ask if my hands are cold, I'm going to be jealous."

Hearing that, Cao couldn't help but smile, and groaned, "Just like your monkey, you sit around a small stove as soon as you come in. Don't you think I don't know what this means? Besides, I'm jealous and ashamed of your sister. Not ashamed?"

"Grandma--" Xie Ruyue deliberately lengthened her voice, and screamed coquettishly while pouting her mouth, and said mysteriously, "Tell you a secret, Zhuo'er is here today, but there is a gift for you."

Her younger sister is uncharacteristically shy, but Xie Ruyue actually understands a little bit. Since the hunting ground, Zhuoer's temperament has been much calmer, and she wants to come today because she wants to make up for the relationship between her relatives. But thinking is one thing, and doing it seriously is another. Xie Ruyue didn't say anything when she saw her for half a day, so she said it directly for her.

Hearing this, Cao suddenly felt a little surprised. In recent years, her granddaughter did not get close to herself, which made her feel very uncomfortable. Especially after my daughter died, I felt more distressed when I looked at these children again. However, Xie Ruzhuo was unwilling to accept her kindness in the past, but today he wants to give her a gift?

Xie Ruzhuo was indeed a little embarrassed, but had to send the arrow on the string, "Grandma, I heard that you are not very comfortable these days. It happened that you bought a cook who is proficient in medicinal diets from the house and thought of sending it to you. This is actually not a big deal. Gifts are just a piece of filial piety from my grandson's daughter. I hope my grandmother will not dislike it."

As soon as her words fell, Cao's eyes became a little wet, and he hugged Xie Ruzhuo and smiled, "Good boy, it's too late for my grandmother to like it, so why would I dislike it."

"Grandma, you don't know. This chef cooks deliciously, she doesn't smell the medicine at all. Xie Ruzhuo couldn't eat a meal, so she was thinking about sending it to you. If she really has something good, she thinks of you. ." Xie Ruyue was happy to see the result of the relaxation of the relationship between the two, and added a fire on the side.

When Cao heard this, he became more happy in his heart. In the past, her little grandson who didn't like her daughter was so caring now, she sighed in her heart, stroked Xie Ruzhuo's hair, and said, "Don't you have a heart."

Xie Ruzhuo was greedy for her grandmother's embrace, and smiled, "As long as grandmother likes it." Then, she smiled and looked at Xie Ruyue, and said, "Xie Ruyue, you know so much about the chef's cooking, I'm afraid it's not too late in the past few days. Ask her to make a good meal, so I don't want to recruit it."

"I learned, didn't I make it for you?" Xie Ruyue snorted unconvincingly, complaining in her mouth, but smiling in her eyes.

Seeing the two of them, Xie Huainan kept a smile on his mouth. He had serious business in his heart, and said, "Grandma, I have something to find cousin Cheng Ye, and I will come over to accompany you later."

Cao waved his hand and said, "Go, your cousin should be in the study at the moment, just go and look for him."

Xie Huainan responded without saying much, and left. But Cao asked with some doubts, "I think your brother seems to have something in his heart, what happened?"

She hadn't talked about court affairs for many years, but she still heard some rumors from the Xie family.

"The emperor issued an imperial decree this morning, saying that his brother would **** the grain and grass south for disaster relief. I think it is the new year, but my brother has to leave home, so I feel a little bit reluctant." Xie Ruzhuo simply said the matter again. However, it skipped the matter of proposing the government to participate. My grandmother always did not allow women to be involved in court affairs, so it was better for my brother to come forward on this matter.

Upon hearing this, the Cao family sighed, "Huinan, this child is indeed going to suffer." After that, she told Liu Ying, "I will find the mink fur suit later, and let him take it with Master Watch when he arrives. on."

"Grandma, it's not allowed." Xie Ruyue waved her hand immediately, "This is too expensive, you should keep it." The mink fur was a gift from the emperor, and now it was given to Xie Huainan. It is hard to guarantee that others will be jealous.

Cao said, "There is nothing to do, it is cold and cold. Although this dress looks ordinary, it is rare that it keeps warm. There are not many people who know this dress, so let your brother wear it."

As the two were talking, they heard the maid outside telling them that it was Ye's coming.

As soon as the voice fell, I saw a woman walking in from outside the door. She wore a water-blue dress with delicate eyebrows, and her expression revealed the skill of the person in charge. It was Jiang Guogong’s current master. Mistress, Xie Ruzhuo's aunt Ye's.

Speaking of which, Ye's background should not be underestimated. She was originally the daughter of Dingbei Palace, the sister of the first queen, and the sister of Concubine Ye Gui. The three of them are female compatriots, and they have very good relationships.

With the arrival of Ye's family, there is also a teenager about sixteen or seventeen years old. It's just that this boy is not tall, he is a bit fat. One of his face has not yet been opened, round face, big eyes, like a lucky doll, round and jade.

When the boy laughed, two dimples were revealed. He was very handsome, but this fatness somewhat buried his good looks. This person is the youngest son of Ye's, Jiang Chengjun.

Sister Xie Ruzhuo asked for peace first. Ye's family supported one with one hand. First, he cared about Xie Ruyue, then looked at Xie Ruzhuo and said, "Last time at the Golden Banquet, I didn't have time to ask you. The arrow wound you suffered is better. "That time, she accidentally saw Xie Ruzhuo's face pale at the entrance of the villa, but she was surrounded by several ladies at the time, she couldn't get out of her body, and she was a little worried in her heart.

Xie Ruzhuo's heart warmed, and he smiled and replied, "I have no problem with my aunt Lao. I have to thank my aunt. I like the clothes you gave me that day, but it was a pity that I couldn't wear it. ."

"But what can I do for a piece of clothing. If you like it, I'll let Xiuniang make it and send it to you later." Ye's family has no daughters, and there are all males at home. At this time, he saw Xie Ruzhuo. A lot of sensible, even more like it.

Several women sat chatting together, but they bored little fat man Jiang Chengjun. He twisted his **** on the stool for a few laps. After all, he couldn't sit still. He walked in front of Xie Ruzhuo and Xie Ruyue, and said, "Have you not seen my existence?"

Xie Ruzhuo had noticed his small movements a long time ago. At this moment, seeing his awkward look on his face, he immediately held back a smile and said, "please please second cousin."

Xie Ruyue was still sitting on the stool, but she put the plate of dim sum in her palm first, and snorted, "Don't try to grab my dim sum, this lotus cake is all mine today. "She has always liked sweets, which happens to be about the same as Jiang Chengjun's. Every time he came to Guogong's mansion, Jiang Chengjun had to grab almost the same amount of dim sum, and made Xie Ruyue jump.
