Chapter 58: Splash the sky

Xie Kanghe stared at Jiang Xiaolou for a moment, and then nodded for a long time: "This problem has troubled me for many years. Why did I run so often when I was poor and get so close to me, but when I became developed, Why did he run away when he wanted to share with him?"
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes smiled slightly: "Father thought that this money should belong to you, so he disappeared in front of you."
Although Jiang Xiaolou was not at the scene, he was very accurate. Even Xie Kanghe had to admire her: "You know your father better than anyone else. That's right. The day after I sold the eel fry, I brought all of them. Money goes to him. If he hadn't been for his kind heart and insisted on letting me bury the woman, there would never be such a good thing falling from the sky... the money should belong to him."
A little bit of brilliance popped out of Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes and said,
No, this money belongs to Uncle Xie. Father believes in this so that you can hide him so you can’t find him. This shows that he is stubborn to you. He understands his personality very well, and would rather stop contacting you from now on, but also force you to keep your money. The most important thing is that if you didn’t save your drowning father, he wouldn’t have the life to teach you...everything It is a causal cycle, where good deeds are rewarded."
Xie Kanghe couldn't help but was shocked, unable to speak for a long time.
Mr. Taiwu nodded: "Xiaolou is right. Everything has a cause to have an effect. You have good intentions and plant good fruits, so God will give you wealth."
Xie Kanghe sighed and said, "I couldn't find him. I invested all my money in business. At first, it was just a small shop. Later, the business grew and expanded to various states. So I started sending people around. Looking for your father's whereabouts. I finally found out that he didn't really move out of Liaozhou, but just changed his place to live, so I rushed over and found out that his family had moved to the capital. I found it again, but unfortunately No matter how many times I go, Zixu always refuses to see me. Once I blocked him on the boat, he would rather jump down the river from the stern of the boat, which made me laugh and cry. It was obviously I owed him, how could he run better than anyone else. Even faster..."
Jiang Xiaolou smiled. Xie Kanghe was too stubborn. He did everything possible to find his father, just to repay his favor, because he believed that the acquisition of wealth was related to his father's help. My father once said that when the money is used up, friendship is not enough. So when others try to save money, what they save is friendship. Saving more money is nothing more than gold and silver, and friendship is just like being difficult to measure. Of course, not everyone is trustworthy, nor is it that every time you give kindness to others, you can remember that you really meet such a person who drinks water and thinks about the source...It can only be used at a critical moment.
Father has always avoided Xie Kanghe and refused to associate with him. On the one hand, he really felt that this wealth should belong to the kind and hard-working Xie family. On the other hand, his father also had his own considerations. Xie Kanghe has wanted to repay his gratitude for so many years. At the critical moment, he will definitely be able to come in great use.
Father is a very strange and good person. While doing good deeds without asking for anything in return, he secretly observes everyone, discovering their qualities and trying to make good use of them. Among the two children, only Jiang Xiaolou inherited his personality and characteristics, so she could see through his father's thoughts at a glance. Of course, he sometimes misunderstood, such as towards the Qin family...
"Although my father has never mentioned his uncle in Xiaolou, when he was dying, he took Xiaolou's hand and told me that if he encounters difficulties in the future and it is difficult to maintain, he can come to his uncle. He said However, Uncle Xie is an upright and loyal friend and will definitely spare no effort to help Xiaolou." Jiang Xiaolou smiled and said very sincerely.
My father believed in Xie Kanghe, because they were friends, but hadn't seen each other for so many years, is Xie Kanghe still the man of integrity? Jiang Xiaolou couldn't believe it casually, so she used Li Xuening to test it. The method is rough, but it works and is straightforward. Only the first reaction of a person can show a person's true personality. But there is also a drawback in this situation. If Xie Kanghe is a truly smart person, then he may not accept Li Xuening's gift, because he is not sure whether he will be dismantled in the future, and his reputation will be destroyed. However, Jiang Xiaolou heard him buying the graveyard. When the Jiang family was in trouble, everyone would draw a clear line with them, but the graves of father and eldest brother were cleaned regularly, no weeds grew, and there were even traces of worship on the ground. Who would do this without any suspicion?
Now she can be sure that the person who did this was Xie Kanghe. Not only did he visit his deceased friend, he even planned to buy a good grave for him, so that he would not be disturbed by others after he died.
Even at this point, Jiang Xiaolou still couldn't trust him completely, because he might also be trying to gain a good reputation in exchange for a good reputation. Don't blame her for being suspicious, no one is worthy of unreserved trust, even Uncle Xie, whom his father always believed. That's why she guided Xie Kanghe to tell how his father met him. If Xie Kanghe had any concealment or deception in the course of narration, Jiang Xiaolou could vaguely detect it. But he was very honest and told everything in no secret. Including his downfall, poverty, and nothing, including his encounter with Jiang Chengtian, and his first pot of gold...
A person who pays attention to fame will definitely choose to hide his disgraceful past, wishing everyone in the world would know his current wealth, but he even said that his sister had starved to death, and directly admitted that he was born in poverty. If he wants to occupy this wealth, he can take all the credit for himself, without saying it, but he just doesn't have it. Until now, Jiang Xiaolou did not believe him.
"My wealth started because of Zixu's help. Without him, I am still a fisherman by the river. Therefore, half of all my wealth is due to my efforts, and the other half should belong to Zixu. Since he has passed away, Then you should inherit this part." Xie Kanghe said solemnly.
At the beginning, all the eel fry were sold and all the money obtained was used as an initial investment. Without these, he would not have what he is today, so he thinks that half of his wealth should belong to Jiang Chengtian. This is actually good. But now he is already a wealthy man in the capital, with a family of tens of millions, and the amount of money allocated is more than that at the beginning?
Seeing him make such a decision without hesitation, everyone was shocked.
Even Jiang Xiaolou was very surprised: "Uncle, I came to see you only because my father mentioned you. I hope to see his friends who will never forget him when he is dying. There is absolutely no other meaning. Those wealth is yours for so many years. I’ve done my best. My father has no credit, let alone me? I am grateful for your kindness, but this is absolutely impossible."
If Xie Kanghe is just acting, then you can stop here, because he has successfully made Jiang Xiaolou trust him. But he didn't mean to stop there. Instead, he looked at Jiang Xiaolou and said, "Xiaolou, I didn't repay your father back then, nor did he lend a helping hand when his children were in the most difficult time. This has already made my conscience uneasy. If you can accept this, when I die in the future, I will truly be ashamed."
Xie Kanghe is not acting, let alone making a show, he is serious.
Just as Jiang Xiaolou was about to refuse, Xie Kanghe waved his hand gently and said, "Xiaolou, this is the last effort I can make for Zixu. If you don't need it, you can give it to others or donate it in the future, it's up to you. But I insist, please don't refuse a gift from an uncle."
No matter how clever Jiang Xiaolou's tongue was, she would never expect Xie Kanghe to make such a decision, so she didn't even know what she should say for a while, and was there for a long time.
Xie Kanghe has turned to Mr. Taiwu next to him: "Sir, is my niece here for medical consultation? Has her condition recovered?"
Mr. Taiwu showed a complacent look on his face and said, "What are you afraid of if I am here? Don't worry, it's not a big problem anymore, but you need to take care of it and you can't get tired in the future."
Upon hearing this, Xie Kanghe said without hesitation: "So small building, please go home with your uncle."
Go home, he wants to take her back? Jiang Xiaolou was stunned. In her original plan, it was indeed from Xie's family that she was gradually approaching the center of Beijing's wealth, but she did not expect Xie Kanghe to invite her without waiting for her next plan to be implemented.
"But I have a special identity, so I rushed to the house to interrupt--" She seemed to hesitate.
Xie Kanghe smiled and said, "Don't mind, you are the daughter left by my best friend, that is, my distinguished guest. Who has any opinions?"
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes flowed like water, slowly sliding over Li Xuening's body.
Seeing her gaze at Li Xuening, Xie Kanghe said: "If Girl Li doesn't mind, you can go to Xie's Mansion together and be a companion for Xiaolou." He couldn't help but smile when he saw Jiang Xiaolou still hesitant. Get up, "Xie’s family will have an additional host, not a guest. Xiaolou, no matter what you want to do in the future, where you want to go, your uncle will not have any objections, but Mr. Taiwu just said that you must take care of it. Before you fully recover, go home with your uncle."
Jiang Xiaolou fixedly looked at Xie Kanghe's eyes. His eyes were very sincere, and his tone and demeanor were unconsciously caring, even if he had a hard heart. She smiled slightly and said, "Uncle is so kind, so it's better for Xiaolou to be respectful."
Xie Kanghe finally breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether the child wants his property or not, he has to find ways to get her to accept it, and that's what he has been worrying about for so many years. Thanks to the Jiang family's favor, how will he be able to meet his old friends in the future.
Jiang Xiaolou did not leave immediately. She asked to stay in the medicine hall for another half month to finish some of her personal affairs. Xie Kanghe did not force it, and he also needed time to go home and arrange first. Everything at hand was handled. In the morning, Jiang Xiaolou personally went to say goodbye to Mr. Taiwu, but he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, I know you will leave sooner or later."
Jiang Xiaolou smiled and said: "Please say goodbye to Doctor Fu for me, and just say that he has helped Xiaolou. I appreciate it for five years and ask him to cherish it."
When Mr. Taiwu heard the words, he couldn't help looking at her again and again: "Girl, I can't look back this time, do you really regret it?"
He said these words in a head and mind, others could not understand, but Jiang Xiaolou couldn't understand it better. If she chooses Fu Chaoxuan, it is equivalent to choosing a warm and comfortable life. She will have a loving husband, a safe and peaceful family, and she will have her own lovely children in the future... But she chose to reject Fu Chaoxuan and leave here, Means that she rejected such a life. Choose a future that is destined to be turbulent and extremely thrilling. This kid really makes people wonder what to say...
Jiang Xiaolou smiled again, her brows raised lightly, and her voice decided: "Yes, I don't regret it. Sir, please take care." After saying this, she turned and left without looking back.
Mr. Tai Wu looked at her back from a distance, and finally sighed: "Come out, I came early in the morning, why should I avoid it."
Fu Chaoxuan walked out from behind the bushes, looking very sad.
Mr. Taiwu glared at him: "It's really worthless. No wonder people don't like you. If you like it, you have to fight bravely. What's the use of being like you?"
Fu Chaoxuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Master, don't you agree with me and her?"
Mr. Taiwu couldn't help sighing again, and said regretfully: "Everything is fate, and you can't help it. Wouldn't you give up if I don't agree with it?"
Fu Chaoxuan smiled: "Yes, if the master doesn't agree, will I give up?"
"She went to Xie's house, I don't know what she wanted to do, but I think this encounter was a little too coincidental. Brother Xie was overjoyed and may not have noticed. This girl...excellent!"
Fu Chaoxuan frowned: "Master means--"
In the sound of their conversation, the carriage has moved further and further, gradually disappearing from their eyes.
The carriage went all the way forward, and the surrounding scenery continued to recede. What he looked at changed from the original green to a prosperous market. Jiang Xiaolou was sitting by the window, looking at the crowded people. Li Xue stared at her thoughtfully, "Xiaolou, why did you enter Xie's house?"
Jiang Xiaolou looked at her sideways, and Li Xuening on the opposite side had changed into a blue embroidered lily dress, which looked fresh and generous, beautiful and soft, much stronger than the pale and thin in the past. Jiang Xiaolou smiled slightly: "You've been holding back this road for a long time, right? It's very stamina to wait until now to ask."
Xie Kanghe stopped fishing after digging the first pot of gold. He first bought a rice shop and then developed into a grain and oil shop and a wine shop. At first, he was defrauded of a lot of money because of his lack of business experience. With this experience, coupled with people working hard, making good relationships, the business is getting bigger and bigger. At the same time, they also opened rice mills, silk shops, antique shops, and jade shops, all walks of life are involved. He didn't forget his roots, bought thousands of acres of fertile land, planted rice and grains on his own, and expanded his business to various states to become a real wealthy home. Jiang Xiaolou originally came here for revenge, but chose to stay at the Xie family. There must be some reason, but why?
Jiang Xiaolou not only agreed to enter Xie's house, but also sold the farm, and accompanied by Li Xuening, he took a servant girl Xiaodie to Xie's house. Li Xuening is very clever. She vaguely glimpsed something from Jiang Xiaolou's actions, but she couldn't tell the truth. After all, Xiaolou's mind was too deep to be elusive.
Jiang Xiaolou did a strange thing after selling the farm. She actually used a lot of money to buy piglets, even the piglets that died of illness, and nearly a hundred. Li Xuening almost thought she was crazy, but Jiang Xiaolou insisted. Not only that, she also hired a boat, personally supervised it, and filled a boat full of piglets out of the canal on the east side of the capital, all the way up the river. At first, Li Xuening thought where she wanted to sell these piglets, but then she hired a lot of people to pour the piglets in with broken fishing nets and woven bags, tighten the mouth of the bag, and tie the piglets picked on the river beach. The stone dropped all the piglets not far from the river beach. However, these piglets are not put out at once, and she will change different helpers every day where they are put, as if deliberately concealing something.
Li Xuening didn’t understand what Jiang Xiaolou was going to do. She just watched Jiang Xiaolou using big trees, river entrances, etc. as signs, along the river, and the piglets put them all the way. She also drew a picture that only she could understand.的identification map. When everything was done, Jiang Xiaolou was finally relieved.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaolou was dressed in a light green shirt, with full white pearl hairpins in his hair, all transparent and shining, and his black hair was like clouds, and his eyes were like stars, making it more beautiful than in the past.
Jiang Xiaolou did not answer, but just peeled a grape and handed it to her, smiling: "This is so sweet, you can taste it!"
Li Xuening raised her hand and took the grapes to eat, but her eyes became more confused.
Jiang Xiaolou also ate a grape, which was really sweet and refreshing. Her smile became deeper: "I went to Xie's house, naturally there is my intention, you don't have to worry."
After all, he refused to say it—Li Xuening sighed.
The Xie family did not compete with the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. They only built the house on the southern outskirts of Beijing, occupying a large area, and the main house from south to north alone reached nine points. After the entrance, all the way to the north, there are more than one hundred houses, buildings, compartments, and pavilions. The corridors are overlapped, and the continuous pavilions seem to be out of sight at a glance. The overall design is more primitive and majestic compared with the residences of high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in Beijing. This is not the style of building houses in Beijing, but the living environment that Liaozhou people like.
Xie Kanghe is a nostalgic person in his bones. With a smile on the pavement of Jiang Xiaolou, he entered the house under the guidance of Xie Kanghe. Bypassing the Fuci Temple, entering the gate of the ceremony, and passing through the chaoshou veranda, the housekeeper and servant woman who met on the way saw Xie Kanghe, and they all bowed their breaths and saluted with great style. After passing the bricked patio, I came to the hall. She raised her head and saw that there was a large plaque hanging in the middle. The gold inscription was "Shen Si Tang", and the couplets on both sides were neat and tidy.
Jiang Xiaolou looked at it for a moment and said, "Uncle this couplet is well written."
Li Xuening and others also stopped and took a closer look at the couplet, only to see the two couplets: reading is good, farming is good, and learning is good; starting a business is difficult, it is difficult to maintain, and it is difficult to understand.
Xie Kanghe glanced at Jiang Xiaolou, with a rare warmth in his expression: "This couplet is for self-sufficiency. I always remind myself that I will not forget my roots."
"Master, you are back!" As he was talking, a gentle female voice rang, and a lady in beautiful dress stood at the entrance of the hall, with bright clothes and bright temples, surrounded by a group of servant women.
"Xiaolou, come and meet your Aunt Wang." Xie Kanghe said with a smile.
He was talking about his aunt, not his aunt. There is a significant difference. Jiang Xiaolou was keenly aware of this, but he smiled slightly, and said, "Aunt Wang."
Wang Baozhen is Xie Kanghe's second room. Because of her literacy and hyphenation, Xie Kanghe took her out to do business. She did not live up to his expectations. She devoted herself to housework and mediation, and she could offer advice on all kinds of difficult matters. As time goes by, Xie Kanghe is not only inseparable from her in business, but also in the food, clothing, and daily life at home. Jiang Xiaolou knew that businessmen doing business outside were all popular with two big heads, and there was a wife in the house, and another wife outside. Others who don't know that there is a madam, they are likely to regard the one who often follows outside as a wife. According to reason, it should be a concubine, but Wang Baozhen's status in Xie's family is no longer inferior to the original wife, and it is not comparable to other aunts. But she knows the rules very well and refuses to let everyone call her the second lady, but only willing to call her Aunt Wang.
When Wang Baozhen saw Jiang Xiaolou, she was slightly taken aback. Jiang Xiaolou was dressed in a light green dress, with black hair like satin eyes and pitch-black eyes, and his snow-white skin dazzled people's eyes. His whole body was like a jade sculpture, neither fat nor thin nor too much. If this is the case, the whole person would be too clear, but her face is ruddy and her smile is charming, which is really pretty.
"It turns out this is Miss Jiang, please come in soon." Wang Baozhen smiled brightly.
When everyone entered the hall, Wang Baozhen laughed and said,
Madam eats the Buddha all year round. Today is the birthday of the Bodhisattva. She is doing Buddhist rituals in the Buddhist hall and will personally entertain Miss Jiang at noon. Mother Hong, what are you still trying All ladies, please come over and meet your distinguished guests..."
Her attitude is very enthusiastic, and her gaze on Jiang Xiaolou's body is also very gentle, and it can even be said to be courteous.
Xie Kanghe was quite satisfied with her performance, but deliberately corrected it: "It's not a guest. Xiaolou will live in Xie's house from now on. She is the host."
Wang Baozhen did not show a surprised look: "Yes, yes, I was almost wrong!" She took the initiative to walk up, took Jiang Xiaolou's hand, and said with a gentle smile, "Here is my home. If there is less food and clothing, you can talk to your aunt, don’t be polite."
Obviously claiming to be an aunt, but only the mistress can speak, Jiang Xiaolou did not answer, just stood aside and smiled, a little shy and jerky in his smile.
Li Xuening lowered her head and looked down, and from time to time she raised her eyes to look at Jiang Xiaolou, then lowered her head again, laughing. This girl, who is used to pretending to be a very nervous girl in a newcomer place, acted vividly.
Xie Kanghe smiled: "Look at you, I scared Xiaolou..."
Wang Baozhen chuckled: "I'm just short-tempered. Master knows it, and Xiaolou will know about it in the future."
Jiang Xiaolou lowered his head and smiled.
Not long after, Miss Xie's family arrived, one by one, all glamorous, gathering together like a hundred flowers. They were all in awe of Xie Kanghe, one and a half lowered their heads, smiling and raising their heads when they walked to Jiang Xiaolou. There are no more, no less, these girls are somewhat subtle and courteous, just like a half-dangling lily, with the elegance that everyone needs.
Although it is only a merchant family, Xie Kanghe is obviously very strict with his daughters on weekdays.
The face of the eldest Miss Xie Yue resembled that of Aunt Wang, with a standard face with melon seeds, two thin willow eyebrows, and a pair of long phoenix eyes with endless beauty, unusually bright and soft. She quietly took Jiang Xiaolou's hand and whispered: "My sister is so beautiful!"
Her tone was full of envy and joy, and she was sincere.
Jiang Xiaolou smiled shyly, with a slightly touching smile on his lips, like a touch of nectar.
Although Xie Yue is beautiful, the crystal fringed hairpin in her hair has deliberately removed the long fringe - according to Da Zhou's rules, there is only one possibility, she is widowed. Jiang Xiaolou thought about it carefully. He didn't hear Uncle Xie mention this. Maybe Xie Yue didn't really get married. There is only one possibility left-Wangmenjian.
The word "nuisance" is said in superstition because the girl's fate is hard, and the fiance's son-in-law was killed before she passed the door. It is not easy for her to find her husband's house in the future, and outsiders will give her a name called Wangmenhui. In this way, this charming young lady is really a poor woman. Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaolou smiled more gently on his face.
The second lady Xie Rou looks weak in writing, with long slender eyes and a small mouth. Her appearance is not very good, but she is also quite charming and has a very quiet personality. She just stood at the farthest point and looked at Jiang Xiaolou in silence. Although it's not generous, but don't have a pitiful meaning. Jiang Xiaolou was almost suspicious, if the wind were a little bit stronger, it might blow this young lady away.
The third Miss Xie Jia Xie Xiang stood beside her eldest sister, her black eyelashes curled up, her eyes were black and white, as clear as a spring lake, her mouth turned up without smiling, her face was extremely sweet. At this moment, her eyes widened, and she looked at Jiang Xiaolou curiously: "Where are you from?"
Her eyes gleamed, with temptation, the original innocence faded by three points.
Jiang Xiaolou smiled and said, "I--"
Xie Kanghe immediately said, "Xiaolou is from Liaozhou."
Xie Kanghe was not going to tell them about Jiang Xiaolou, so as not to cause too much trouble.
Xie Xiang gave a cry and looked at his elder sister Xie Yue. Xie Yue was afraid that the third sister could not speak and angered the guests. She smiled sweetly and looked forward to her wonderful eyes: "Look, it's rude to ask questions."
The fourth lady of the Xie family, Xie Yu, stood aside. She had shaved shoulders and a long neck. She had a fair complexion, dark lacquered eyes, and she was cold and squiggly. This woman, clearly dressed in a plain dress, has the smell of flowers and brocades, and she is very beautiful and eye-catching. Just now Jiang Xiaolou clearly noticed that when she was walking just now, her whole body was as light as a swallow, like a weak willow Fufeng, and like a swallow flying, with all kinds of styles, but not the slightest frivolity. Before entering Xie’s house, Jiang Xiaolou had heard that Xie Yu was different from the other young ladies. She was the adopted daughter of the Xie family. Her biological mother was a singing prostitute before she was alive. His biological father was Xie Kanghe’s good friend Liao Jiasheng, because her mother was not seen in Liao House, Xie Kanghe took in Xie Yu.
Xie Kanghe took in a girl who had no blood relationship with him, and raised her as his own daughter. This attitude alone made people move.
Xie Yu just smiled and stood side by side with the second lady Xie Rou, more and more dull compared to the ordinary Xie Rou. She looked at Jiang Xiaolou with a faint look. Beautiful-looking women always like to compare each other, especially since she is originally from her beauty, but Jiang Xiaolou is not inferior to her in the slightest, can't tell the sour taste in his heart, just watching from the sidelines.
The focus of Xie Yue and others was on Jiang Xiaolou, and they didn't look at Li Xuening behind her. Maybe they thought she was just a companion, so no one took a second look. Only Xie Chun, the fifth lady of the Xie family, saw that everyone was surrounded by Jiang Xiaolou, so she took the initiative to walk to Li Xuening's side and talked to her with a smile. Xie Chun is the youngest and has loose temples. The peony on his head is not a silk flower made of paper, but a fresh peony picked from the garden. It is bright and dripping, and there is a butterfly flying around. It's ridiculous.
Sure enough, Xie Xiang snorted and laughed: "Xiao Wu, what is that on your head?"
Xie Chun turned his head, shook his head, and said in an unimaginative manner: "What?"
"Have you not seen such a big butterfly flying around on your head? I have told you how many times, don't put those messy flowers on your head, look, even the butterflies have been brought in. How bad is it to scare the guests!" Xie Xiang said with a narrow face.
Xie Chun's eyebrows are not as delicate as the other ladies, but they have thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a face like a full moon. After hearing Xie Xiang’s words, she looked directly over her head. She really saw a butterfly flying around. She smiled and couldn’t help catching the butterfly in her hand. She was just about to let it go. I heard Wang Baozhen smile and said, "Miss Fifth, Xiaolou is still here, so don't surprise her."
Xie Kanghe frowned, impatiently saying, "Don't be unruly."
Xie Chun's appearance looks most like Xie Kanghe, but seeing his appearance, he doesn't like this daughter very much. Jiang Xiaolou hastily glanced at it and he has already seen the outline.
Xie Chun released the butterfly disapprovingly, just glanced at Jiang Xiaolou, and muttered: "She is not made of mud, and the wind blows away. How can she be frightened so easily!" Although complaining, but It is naive.
Xie Kanghe's face sank: "Xie Chun!" The name and surname were called, obviously very angry.
"Well, you stare at me every time you come back. I just took it off because I saw the flowers bloom, and I didn't deliberately make you angry!" Xie Chun quickly told Rao.
At this time, Xie Yu said the first sentence: "Ms. Jiang is kind-hearted, how can she be angry for no reason? Father, you are too worried."
The voice turned softly like a yellow oriole, which made people tremble.
It seems to explain Xie Chun, but what he said is quite meaningful.
Sure enough, Xie Kanghe's expression became more and more unhappy, and said, "Have you seen it? I will learn more with your fourth sister in the future. If this is not the rule, I will send you to the nursing mother for discipline!"
Xie Chun seemed to be reprimanded as commonplace, and he didn't care at all, turning the page with a smile.
Xie Yue was the most enthusiastic, and immediately changed the topic: "This is the first time Xiaolou has come to Beijing? Nothing will happen in the future, I will take you out for a stroll... The capital is very lively, you will definitely be happy..."
Jiang Xiaolou just smiled, very reserved and gentle. She looked like a shy girl, Wang Baozhen had been observing her secretly, and when she saw this, she nodded in satisfaction. Xie Kanghe values ​​Jiang Xiaolou. Of course, she hopes that this girl can get along better. If she is arrogant, she is afraid it will be difficult.
The others looked at Jiang Xiaolou and felt that she was restrained and shy, and each had their own judgments.
Wang Baozhen asked Jiang Xiaolou how smooth the journey was.
Jiang Xiaolou only replied a few words in a low voice. Although his speech and manners were restrained, he seemed very decent. After a few words, not only Xie Kanghe nodded his head repeatedly, even Xie Yu, who was originally critical in his eyes, had to admit, Jiang Xiaolou He has a good education and is a dignified lady.
"It's almost the hour, let's go to my wife for dinner." Wang Baozhen reminded Xie Kanghe softly.
Xie Kanghe nodded, stood up first, and said to everyone: "Let's go."
When they walked out of the hall and walked through the front yard, they saw large bamboo forests full of greenery.
Xie Yue saw Jiang Xiaolou's eyes fall on the bamboo forest, smiled, her expression was quite proud: "Before my father had to plant it, my aunt always thought it was better to raise some flowers and plants... In Liaozhou, In order to build a bamboo forest, my father didn't spend much time buying the best bamboo varieties everywhere."
Jiang Xiaolou acted as a perfect listener, smiling, encouraging her to continue speaking.
"It's strange to say, maybe it's my father who is destined. One day a Taoist Taoist came to the garden. He had a clear face and extraordinary aura. He smiled and asked my father if he wanted bamboo from all directions. My father quickly said yes, he For the sake of my father’s sincerity, I dedicated a family heir to an old root. After speaking, a thin bamboo root shook out from the sleeve of the robe, put it on the case table, arched his hands and walked away. Father chased out the door, he was gone."
"Father picked up the bamboo root and looked left and right. He couldn't see what was good. After thinking about it, he would settle for it, and he ordered his servants to bury it in the soil before talking. After a long time, the four parties have been asking for it. All of the famous bamboos were already in the soil, so I forgot about it. Later, when I moved to Beijing, my father deliberately selected a number of varieties to go with, but this one was the only bamboo... My father thought about it and brought it. One year, Beijing There is a strange plague, and no famous doctor can prescribe a prescription. People talk about it, and people are panicked everywhere. My elder brother also contracted the disease. My father was worried all day long and stayed awake for several days. One night, he suddenly became awake. I had a dream, dreaming that the old way came again last time, and said to him, you are a destined person, this is an improper disaster, I have given you the fairy Fang in the past, but using this leaf to make tea can heal All diseases; taking branches and putting them indoors can drive away all evils. After waking up, my father immediately ordered to do what the Taoist said. It really worked immediately and saved my elder brother's life." Xie Yue’s voice brought three points of pride. The smile is even more beautiful.
Jiang Xiaolou was rather surprised when he heard it. Look at Xie Yue's expression and tone, as if that old way really exists. However, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a popular saying that a thousand acres of bamboo was in a bamboo garden, and his wealth was equal to the prince. Xie Kanghe planted bamboo extensively in his homeland, also to attract wealth. With this thought in her mind, she said in her mouth: "Bamboo represents morality, taste and elegance. It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. Without meat makes people thin, without bamboo makes people vulgar. From here, you can see thanks. Uncle's taste is extraordinary."
Xie Yue couldn't help but smile deeper when she saw her press the post like this.
The furnishings of the entire garden are very exquisite, and the Guose Tianxiang Building is also luxurious, but it is tacky compared to the Xie family, so Li Xuening and Xiaodie are looking at it with interest.
"This stone is so beautiful..." Li Xuening pointed at a place and smiled.
Bamboo and stone are twins. Xie's entire garden was built with bamboo, and at the same time, he was also fond of stacking rocks. The stones used to stack the mountains, in various poses, can be called the best in the stone.
"These are all my father spent a lot of money to collect, and there are some people's heritage treasures." The third lady Xie Xiang smiled and her eyes were like crescents, and her eyes became more sweet and pleasant. "These rocks are precious, and people often try to steal them. To prevent theft, my father once ordered craftsmen to pour a large amount of melted silver paste into some rockery, no one can move or take it away."
Every rockery is built with silver paste. Xie’s family is really rich and rich. Is it just such a luxury, is it really a good thing? Jiang Xiaolou could not help but think of it this way.
Finally, when he finally arrived at the dining room, Wang Baozhen smiled and said, "Today is to pick up the dust for the small building... it is all home cooking, you are welcome."
Jiang Xiaolou breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "I haven't eaten home-cooked food for a long time."
At this moment, the maidservants walked around a middle-aged woman. Her appearance was much inferior to Wang Baozhen, but she was born with a gentle and gentle temperament. Seeing Jiang Xiaolou, she just nodded silently: "I'm a good, handsome girl. ."
"Madam, it's not early, we should have dinner." Xie Kanghe respected Madam Xie's attitude.
Mrs. Xie smiled and nodded, and everyone followed into the dining room. The food was first delivered to the door by the small servant in the kitchen. The maid in the door bowed to take it, and then moved to the front of the table, saying: "Dong'an chicken." Jiang Xiaolou glanced at the bowl on the tray. The dish is made of fine porcelain, simple and quiet.
Xie Kanghe shook his head, and the maid backed down holding the tray.
The second maid brought up the tray and reported: "The Eight Immortals cross the sea and make trouble for Arhat."
Xie Kanghe nodded and put the tray down gently.
The third maid brought up the tray and said, "One egg hatches two phoenixes."
Xie Kanghe nodded and put the tray on the table.
The fourth maid brought up the tray and said: "Longjing shrimp."
Xie Kanghe didn't say anything, Wang Baozhen nodded and put down the tray.
The fifth maid brought up the tray and said: "Phoenix tail wings."
Xie Kanghe just shook his head, but said: "Keep it, this is Liaozhou cuisine, Xiaolou will like it."
Thirty dishes were passed around, but only a dozen were left.
Wang Baozhen was very enthusiastic, and personally served Jiang Xiaolou's dishes, and the maidservant next to her was also picking up dishes, so her dishes were full soon. During the meal, the maidservant waited a while and kept serving dishes.
The so-called home-cooked dishes on the table are actually very rich. Even if Jiang Xiaolou came from a rich family, some dishes have never been seen. She knew very well that Xie Kanghe was doing her best to take care of her.
In addition to bird's nest and ginseng soup, there was also a plate of brightly colored steamed eggs on the table. Jiang Xiaolou only took one sip, and he noticed the unique taste.
Xie Xiang smiled sweetly: "My eggs are different from others, have Xiaolou eaten them?"
There is a faintly concealed hint in the other party’s words. Jiang Xiaolou’s heart is like colored glaze, he can see it in an instant, and his voice is light and clear: "I saw a prescription in an ancient book, saying that as long as I use ginseng and Baizhu every day , Red dates are ground into powder and fed into the feed. The chickens are born with ginseng eggs. The taste is unique, but each egg needs one or two silver, which is really sky-high... I have always wanted to know what this kind of egg tastes like. , Can be regarded as tasted today."
Xie Xiang was surprised. She thought Jiang Xiaolou was a dumpling from Liaozhou. She didn't expect that she could guess how this kind of egg was cultivated. It can be seen that people are not as closed as she thought, and she didn't know where she should take it out for a moment. Kind of expression...
