[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

When Xi Yuannian entered the door, it happened that Jinlian brought a basin of water to enter the door. At first sight, he saw the awe-inspiring Second Master Xi, and Jinlian panicked.

In the house, Wan Xiang was learning how to do embroidery stitch by stitch with Yin Yang.She is good at sewing, but not delicate.What the country pays attention to is reality, but she can't handle some delicate tasks, and she also finds it cumbersome, so she doesn't think about it.However, when she was bored, the sister-in-law saw the crooked melons and split dates embroidered, and she couldn't help laughing, so she took Wan Xiang to teach her embroidery skills.

Although she didn't have much interest in embroidering women's reds, but her cousin taught her by herself, so she cheered up and studied hard.Therefore, when Jinlian meets Xi Yuannian outside, she has nothing else to do.

Yin Chan heard the movement, and was threading the needle separately. When he was distracted, the tip of the needle picked the wrong thread.If there is a slight loss and a thousand miles away, the job will be regarded as a failure, and no matter how much it is repaired, it will only be regarded as inferior.

"Your father is back." Now that it was ruined, Yin Chan simply put down the needle and thread and reminded softly.

Xi Wanxiang looked up in astonishment, and her father had already arrived, his beard was trembling slightly, and his clothes were dusty and dusty.

"Daddy, why did you come back so early this trip?" Xi Wanxiang was inexplicably nervous.

Xi Yuannian didn't answer, he just picked up Wanxiang and put it in a small basket to do half of the embroidery work, his thick eyebrows frowned: "Your mother tried to teach you so many times, didn't you have the patience to learn at all? Are you willing to be a female celebrity?"

Xi Wanxiang smiled: "After my mother left, Wanxiang realized that what my mother said was reasonable. But there was nowhere to learn from, and my mother's female celebrity was the best. At this moment, my cousin came out of the house. Come here, and I am the best at embroidery, so let her teach you."

The deep wrinkles on Xi Yuannian's face eased a little, Wan Xiang's words fell into his heart, which made him a little happier.

Speaking of Yin Chan, Yin Chan stood up and made a bow to Xi Erye, and said respectfully: "Mr. Yin has seen the second uncle, so please come here to disturb me."

As he said that, Yin Yang winked at Jinlian who was standing aside with his hands down.It was only then that Jinlian suddenly remembered that they came this time with a gift, so he quickly flew down to fetch two pieces of lacquer and smoke ink, and presented them to Second Lord Xi.

Xi Yuannian loves ink very much, lacquer ink is precious and rare, so he is also tempted.The adam's apple moved, and he took the ink carefully, held it in his hand, and looked at it carefully, and then he turned his gaze to Yin Dang: "Thank the old lady for me." Although Xi Yuannian's tone softened Quite a few, but there was still obvious alienation, even disgust, in the eyes squinting at Yin Dang.

As soon as Dad entered the door, the original warm and harmonious atmosphere was completely broken.Wan Xiang naturally sensed her father's clear rejection of her sister-in-law, she rolled her eyes, and showed Xi Yuannian the female red that my sister-in-law had just embroidered, "Look, Dad, this is the oriole that my sister-in-law embroidered."

The oriole perches on the spring jasmine branch, and its tender singing comes from a piece of soft light yellow petals.Yin Chan only embroidered a rough outline, but even though it was just an outline, one can still see his skillful technique.

Yin Chan knew well whether this thing was good or bad, and wanted to stop Wan Xiang, but couldn't. He only hoped that Xi Erye was not a capable person, so he couldn't see through it at a glance.

What to be afraid of, what to come.Xi Yuannian only glanced at it, then smiled coldly, took the female red from Wan Xiang's hands, and put it aside casually: "It's empty and general, not practical. Besides exquisiteness, really good embroidery requires meticulous attention to detail." , the finishing touch, even the stitches are picked wrong, it can only be classified as defective.”

Xi Wanxiang's expectations were dashed by her father's merciless words. She bit her lip, her face flushed quickly, and she stared at him motionlessly.Yin Tang noticed it and felt that Wan Xiang was a sign of anger, so he hurriedly tugged on her sleeve and shook his head at her.

Xi Wanxiang was indeed very angry. She could allow Xi Yuannian to treat her indifferently, and she could also tolerate Xi Yuannian's weird and violent temper, but the only thing she couldn't bear was that her father would spread such temper on her cousin.If it wasn't for Yin Tang's timely action, she would have quarreled with Xi Yuannian for the first time in history.

A meeting was not very happy.It happened to be time for dinner again, and Xi Wanxiang went down sullenly to help boil water for Jinlian. She was worried about letting her cousin be alone with her father, for fear that her father would speak harshly again and hurt her.But Jinlian was really busy alone, and besides, father went to the study alone, locked himself in it, and saw his sister-in-law playing with snowflakes in the courtyard indifferently, with a gentle smile, so he reluctantly entered. kitchen.

When chopping vegetables, Wan Xiang chops the chopping board until it makes a "bang bang" noise.Since his mother's death, his father Xi Yuannian's temper has become worse and worse, and his face will turn pale when something goes wrong, making people frightened.People's temperament is naturally revealed in calligraphy and painting, so his calligraphy and painting are more and more lacking in aura, and naturally no one wants to buy them.His mother's death seemed to have taken away all his patience and peace.

It's time for dinner, as a servant, Jinlian is not qualified to serve, so she stood respectfully behind Yin Dang.Several dishes are freshly picked from the field. The beans are sweet and crisp, and the rapeseed is green. Although there are no meaty or hard vegetables, they taste the freshness of the countryside and make people feel happy.

Putting down the chopsticks, Xi Yuannian raised his eyes. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deep, and the wrinkles seemed to be drawn with black lines. He glanced at Yin Dang: "When did you come?"

Yin Tang also put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped the corners of his lips with a silk cloth, and said, "Go back to Second Uncle, I just arrived last night."

Xi Yuannian withdrew his eyes, and said calmly: "Today is too late, I can't leave. Then you go back early tomorrow morning. Later, I will go find the driver."

Xi Wanxiang clenched her fists, seeing her sister-in-law still calm and unhurried, the unhappiness that had been suppressed just now rose again, she snorted: "My sister-in-law just came, why did daddy drive her away? My sister-in-law What made Dad unhappy?"

Yin Tang lightly touched Wan Xiang's wrist underneath, signaling her not to be reckless.

Wan Xiang naturally understood, but she just couldn't see her cousin being angry for no reason.

Xi Yuannian looked at Wan Xiang's breathless expression, and said with trembling lips, "Have you forgotten what your mother told you? Whether or not that thing will be contagious is still uncertain, you'd better be cautious."

It turned out to be because of this!

Xi Wanxiang's eyebrows twitched, her mother said this in front of her sister-in-law before, and picked on her family's faults, which made the sister-in-law feel cold.And now Daddy has uncovered the scars of Tang sister-in-law again, although Wan Xiang doesn't know what's going on with the Yin family, but what she knows is that Tang sister-in-law doesn't like people who don't know the truth to make irresponsible remarks!

Tang's sister-in-law held Wan Xiang's hand, her palm was sweaty and greasy, she couldn't bear it any longer.Yin Chan squeezed Wan Xiang's palm, she didn't want Wan Xiang to quarrel with this unreasonable father and get a reputation of being unfilial.

Xi Wanxiang managed to bear it in front of her cousin.

In the afternoon, Xi Yuannian went out to find the coachman.Xi Wanxiang asked Jinlian to take care of her cousin's sister-in-law during her lunch break, but her father's words still choked in Wanxiang's throat just now, making her feel uncomfortable.While he was not far away, he flew out, determined to talk to him nicely.

Xi Yuannian didn't notice that Wan Xiang followed him out at all, his mind was blank, since his wife left, he has been in a daze for almost a year.It wasn't until Wan Xiang called her that she woke up like a dream.

He didn't really believe in the rumors that smoking opium could contagious him before, but he missed his wife deeply, so after she left, he took everything she said and did as the truth.Looking at Yin Yang, I felt that she was a bit annoying.

Xi Yuannian naturally understands the girl's sincere words in front of him, but so what?A person cannot be resurrected after death, so if he accepts Yin Yang, can his wife return to his side and wait around?By this time, Xi Yuannian had lost many lofty ambitions, and even his basic knowledge and insights were exhausted like a burnt out lamp.

Soon, he couldn't hear Wan Xiang's words, he only showed a rare loving smile, reached out and touched Wan Xiang's head, and said without thinking: "The girl is getting older." After that, he turned around and left.

Before Xi Wanxiang finished speaking, she was interrupted by her father and froze in place.Xue Hua jumped down from the dirt wall at some point, and circled around Wan Xiang, but Wan Xiang was a little depressed at the moment, so she didn't have the heart to squat down to play with Xue Hua.

Standing behind Yin Dang, Jin Lian looked out of the window, and just happened to have a panoramic view of the scene just now.She covered her sleeves, looking at the young lady's straight back, she was very worried.She wanted to hesitate to say something, but she was afraid that she would be clumsy, say the wrong thing, and offend the young lady again.Just as he was hesitating, the young lady turned around, her cheeks were neither sunny nor rainy, as usual, she felt relieved.It seems that the young lady doesn't care much about the affairs of the Yin family anymore.That's right, after so many years, such a natal family should also be forgotten.

When Xi Yuannian came back, he frowned. He didn't find the coachman, saying that he went out to do some work for his livelihood, and he didn't know when he would return.

This is embarrassing, is it possible that the coachman didn't come back for a day, and the Yin family stayed here and didn't go back?He is not in a hurry, the old lady should be too!He left a message for the coachman's wife to remember, and when he came back, he would come to Xi's house to take him away, so that he could settle down early.

The door was open, but the few people inside were gone.Xi Yuannian searched suspiciously, and thought that the girls' house had gone out to make noise again, and they were a little unhappy, impatient, and had no rules.It was still early, Xi Yuannian held the lacquer smoke ink exuding rosin in his arms, babbling casually humming Huagu ditty, and pushed the door of the study.

The casual joke suddenly stuck in his throat, Xi Yuannian saw Yin Shi standing in front of his desk, seeming to be concentrating on something, when he heard the movement, Yin Shi turned around and blessed him, and shouted "Second Uncle".

There are two study rooms in the whole Sihe house, this one is exclusively for him, even Wanxiang is not allowed to come in or out on weekdays.There are also a few calligraphy and paintings scattered on the table, all of which were not sold in Yongzhou before. He is going to have a look at it again. Although it can't be improved, he still wants to look at it again.

At this moment, Yin Shi, who didn't know what to do or what to do, broke into the study, his eyes widened immediately, and he was so angry that he wanted to grab Yin Shi's collar and tell her to get out.
