[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

Xi Qingse still didn't show up at the dinner table during dinner, Aunt Feng's round cheeks looked a little haggard, her chopsticks casually fiddled with the shallow layer of rice in the bowl, and she hesitated to speak while looking at the old lady Xi.

Old Madam Xi remained motionless, glanced at Aunt Feng who couldn't sit still, and said indifferently: "Why did you let your precious daughter kneel for a day and night and feel distressed?"

"I, I really feel distressed." Aunt Feng couldn't bear it anymore, and finally began to plead, "Old lady, no matter how you say Qingse is your own granddaughter, the flesh and blood of our Xi family, if you want to punish him, it's up to you. It needs to be so strict. Besides, Qingse has always been obedient in the past, if it wasn't for that stupid girl this time, how could she do such a thing! Thinking of Qingse's slight slap, she can get a slap the size of a palm Bruises, my mother's heart feels cold and hurts..."

"Your daughter is born precious? Why didn't she think about it when she threw bricks at other people's children?" The old lady didn't change her face, and she was not moved by Aunt Feng at all. "You can go to the town and listen. What do those women say about your daughter. If I don't be stricter, won't our Xi family be called a bully? How can we gain a foothold in the town?"

Aunt Feng didn't dare to answer anymore, she sighed and took a step back, "Since this is the case, I'll go and see Qingse, shall I? She probably hasn't eaten anything all day, so what should I do if I'm starving." , Aunt Feng was about to get up, ready to let the servant girl go to the kitchen to get some warm meals.

Mrs. Xi gouged her out and put down her chopsticks: "Sit down for me!"

Aunt Feng reluctantly sat back in her original place.

"A loving mother is a loser. It's because you are a mother who has no rules, so you are used to Qingse's temper! You are cold and indifferent. When you see the elders, you are quiet and always look at people with supercilious eyes. I just let Qingse Reflect on yourself in the small ancestral hall, and teach her how to behave in the future!" The old lady Xi raised her voice, and then said, "How many generations in the Xi family have made great achievements. Her great-grandfather was poor in high school for twenty years. How glorious it was then to be a bachelor of the Imperial Academy! Officials below the third rank in the imperial court are not all polite, and they can still be a prestigious squire after returning to their hometown! Her grandfather and father have been in business for two generations, although they are not as glorious as they were back then , but it is also well-run. The name of the Xi family's scholarly family and virtues is even famous in Yongzhou. Fortunately, one generation is not as good as the previous generation. There is a reckless and hurtful species. The reputation of the three generations of the Xi family Call her defeated!"

As she said that, Mrs. Xi seemed a little out of breath and coughed vigorously.Wan Xiang, who was sitting next to her, quickly poured her a glass of water, stroking the old lady's thin back with her small hand, thinking to herself, the ancestors of the Xi family were still well sheltered, but now they have reached the stage of gnawing on the old, great-grandfather She is an important minister in the court, and the old lady must also be a lady from a respectable family in the capital. She is used to the aura of her youth, so she always uses the etiquette standards of former officials and eunuchs to demand her own children.

Fortunately, the family rules are strict, otherwise the huge Xi family would not have maintained their reputation for so many years.

Aunt Feng stopped talking, she knew she was wrong, so she could only hang her head and sigh.

Old Madam Xi ignored Aunt Feng, touched Wanxiang's head, and was helped back to her room on crutches.

With the fan half-opened, Wan Xiang lay on the window, looking westward, she could have a panoramic view of Taimen Town, and the lights of thousands of houses were just lit up, matching the sparse stars and bright moon in the dark night.Taimen Town is located within the encirclement of Yangming Mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, narrow and wide mountain streams pass through the town from the middle of the mountain, rushing to the open land on one side.

It can be said that the stars are flat and the fields are wide, and the moon is surging and the river is flowing.

Wan Xiang sighed comfortably, in the city that was shrouded in smog in the past, where has she seen such an open and clear scenery, with a gentle mountain breeze, Wan Xiang thinks of her cousin again, her quiet eyes are brighter than the stars now. Bright, containing light, but never showing it.

Such a good woman, who has the status of a high-ranking daughter of the world, but why is she willing to marry into a family of squires who are on the verge of decline like the Xi family?

Wan Xiang shook her head, probably only her grandmother and sister-in-law could understand the reason.

After thinking about such a profound question for a while, Wan Xiang's stomach started to growl.

Rubbing my belly, I thought I had spent the night listening to my grandmother's high-spirited talk, but I hadn't eaten much.Nanny Qi seemed to be called by her grandmother, saying that someone had come from the house, and she hadn't seen her all night.

Wan Xiang jumped off the window sill, rubbed her knees, and went out to the kitchen to look for food.

The kitchen was brightly lit, but there were only two little girls who were around her age washing the dishes. When they saw Wan Xiang, they hurriedly stood up, looking at her with black eyes like a frightened deer.

Wan Xiang quickly waved her hands: "You are busy with your work, I'll find something to eat."

One of the little maids wiped her hands on the apron, walked around the sink, and smiled shyly at Wan Xiang: "Second Miss, please follow me."

From the closet, I took the pepper chicken, stir-fried meat and eggplant, and the little maid went down to the pot to heat it up, and the oily fragrance was overflowing. As soon as Wan Xiang picked up the chopsticks, she suddenly thought of Xi Qingse, who had been kneeling in the small ancestral hall all day and night, and then Putting down the chopsticks again, she pursed her mouth, although this young lady was neither salty nor unkind to her, she was still only a young girl of cardamom age, and the feat of angrily smashing the hooligans that day was quite appreciated by Wan Xiang, so Wan Xiang stood on tiptoe Jiao took the tamales and a box of rice from the closet and asked the maid to heat them up.

The small ancestral hall is in the backyard of Xi Zhai, separated from Xi Zhai's main house by a stream.

After walking across the small bluestone bridge, and not long after walking, the lights dimmed obviously, and the prolonged chirping of cicadas came from around, and the rustling wind blowing over the dead leaves made people a little frightened.

The small ancestral hall was caged in the secluded forest, and Wan Xiang saw two guards from a distance hiding roasted pheasants not far from the ancestral hall, chatting and laughing happily as they ate.

The bone-penetrating mountain wind blows suddenly, causing Wan Xiang to shiver.It's just that she has already reached the door, and it would be unreasonable for her to back off, so Wan Xiang could only carefully stare at the back of the servant who was eating the roast pheasant, bravely walked up the steps, and gently pushed open the somewhat rotten thick wooden door with the copper ring.

Xi Qingse, who was kneeling in front of a row of ancestral tablets with her eyes closed, straightened her back. After a day and a night, her body was already numb, and the pain in her knees could no longer be felt, only bouts of dizziness.

Wan Xiang flashed into the ancestral hall, probed to see that the two servants were unaware, and quickly closed the door gently.

Turning around to see Xi Qingse's desolate little figure, a pool of square moonlight fell from the window, making the quiet ancestral hall even colder and colder.

"You still came to see me." Xi Qingse's voice was as light as a thin thread, but there was a faint smile of joy.

Wan Xiang was startled, she was just a whim, how did she know that she would come to see her?Could it be that sisters really love each other deeply and are connected by blood?

Before a touch of emotion rose from her heart, Qingse sniffled her nose and said faintly, "Nanfeng, I'm so hungry." Blowing away the touch of emotion, oh, I'm being passionate.

"There is food, but there is no south wind." Wanxiang struggled to carry the full food box, walked to Xi Qingse, and said angrily, "I'm not full tonight, sister Qingse, do you want to eat together?"
