The fifteenth of you in this life

On the trip back to the capital, Xie Mingyun watched Su Nan decide her course. Su Nan understood the situation faster than he expected, and the two of them traveled much faster. At the end of February, the motorcade met the people of the Xie family who had come out.

The person who came out was Uncle Quan, the chief steward of the Xie Mansion. Xie Mingyun raised the curtain of the carriage and ordered Uncle Quan to sit outside the curtain and reply.

Uncle Quan handed the horse to the boy, sat outside the carriage curtain, and before bowing to greet him, he couldn't help but glanced at Su Nan, who was sitting next to Xie Mingyun.

Not only him, but everyone in the house, and even in the entire capital, was curious about this Ninth Grandma who suddenly came here. The background and family background of this Ninth Grandma were not hidden, and of course they couldn't hide it.

He was born in a family background, and it is said that he was not a very good person, and there was nothing that could be said about him. He was actually chosen by the ninth son of the Xie family, and he quickly married him. This is really weird, so weird that you can't help but be curious.

Su Nan sat next to Xie Mingyun, looking at Uncle Quan with the same curiosity.

Xie Mingyun had introduced Uncle Quan to her in detail. She felt that Uncle Quan had spent most of his life singing a Pingtan in a teahouse.

"Are Weng Weng and Grandma okay?" Xie Mingyun asked with a smile after seeing Uncle Quan greeting him and then Su Nan.

Uncle Quan was so stunned by his smile that he almost didn't react. Ninth Young Master usually had an expressionless face, and when he occasionally smiled, it never hit him.

"It's okay to go back to..., old slave. Go back to Master Jiu. The old man and the old lady are well." Uncle Quan quickly bowed down.

"Seventh sister, has the marriage been decided?" Xie Mingyun asked again.

Uncle Quan's mood, which had just calmed down, was unexpectedly stunned when he asked him. Master Jiu asked about the seventh wife's marriage? Did he hear it correctly? When had Master Jiu ever taken care of such things at home?

Su Nan's brows were raised. Uncle Quan, why was he so worried? He was not at all as shrewd as her Ninth Young Master said.

"Yes, it was just settled. This month, I got a letter from Master Jiu years ago, saying that he will take the Spring Festival Examination this year. The marriage of the Seventh Lady has gone smoothly. Master Jiu is different from before." Uncle Quan.

Looking at Xie Mingyun, this time I was filled with emotions.

He grew up watching Master Jiu and served him for a few years. Later, the older Master Jiu became, the more temperamental he became. He only used his own people to serve around him. He chose his own.

He was as sad as the old man about the manpower he had gathered. Could a person like Mr. Jiu really want to escape into Buddhism?

Now Mr. Jiu is very popular, but this Grandma Jiu has some magic...

"Has the yard been tidied up again?" Xie Mingyun looked at Uncle Quan's accidents one after another and his emotions at the moment, even a little bit sad and happy. She pretended not to see it and continued to ask.

Before they got married, he wrote a letter to arrange a place for him and Su Nan to live. A few days after returning to the capital from Pingjiang Mansion, he changed his mind. Su Nan had to live with him, preferably in a courtyard.

"Okay." Uncle Quan reacted quickly this time, "According to Master Jiu's instructions, we hired craftsmen and did some work. Everything has been sorted out. It's just some details that we have to wait for Master Jiu and Grandma Jiu to look at and add.

.”

"Well, do you have anything to say about Dad's next appointment?" Xie Mingyun then asked.

Uncle Quan subconsciously glanced at Su Nan, who was looking sideways at him, "Go back to Master Jiu. I heard from the old man that the Shang Shufu said that he would wait for Master Jiu to come back and discuss it with him."

"Well, you go back first and tell Weng Weng and Grandma that they are safe. Grandma and I will be there in a moment."

"Yes." Uncle Quan agreed, jumped out of the car, mounted his horse and ran all the way to the city gate, still feeling a little dazed.

Due to Master Jiu's popularity, if Master Jiu marries such a grandma, the old man's depression and the old lady's sadness will probably be completely eliminated.

Although I heard Xie Mingyun talk about the whole Xie Mansion all the way, I entered the second gate of Xie Mansion, got out of the car, and faced the neat rows of maids and women standing in rows, and the ten people in front of the Moon Gate.

Su Nan was still dazzled by the appearance of a beautiful man and woman with glittering pearls and fluttering embroidered ribbons.

Xie Mingyun reached out to hold Su Nan's hand, and pulled her past the group of young ladies, young wives, and young men who were staring at Su Nan curiously, "It's windy here, let's go in and talk."

Everyone had been afraid of Xie Mingyun for more than ten years, and no matter how curious they were, they could not overcome their awe. They hurriedly followed Xie Mingyun, who was holding Su Nan's hand, towards the spacious flower hall in the mansion.

In the flower hall, Xie Shangshu, Xie Mingyun, Weng Weng, and Xie Jia'an sat on the left and right at the top. On the chairs at the bottom, Xie Mingyun, several of his cousins, his second uncle, and his third uncle sat on the chairs.

Sitting on the couch next to it are Mrs. Zhao, the wife of Xie Shangshu, and Mrs. Zhou, the wife of Xie Mingyun. Sitting or standing on the couch are the daughters-in-law and granddaughter-in-law.

There was a room full of people sitting or standing. Starting from Xie Shangshu, no one was in the mood to talk. They all craned their necks and looked at the door of the flower hall, waiting for Xie Mingyun and his newly married daughter-in-law.

Xie Mingyun led Su Nan into the flower hall. Without letting go of Su Nan's hand, she stopped at the threshold. She looked around at everyone, showed a wry smile, looked at Xie Shangshu and Weng Weng, and Xie Jia'an said: "Ah Nan and I are thousands of miles apart, just now

When I get home, I'm a mess, and the big man and the old man are going to have a three-chamber trial?"

"What are you talking about!" Xie Shangshu laughed first, "Look at this child." Xie Shangshu pointed at Xie Mingyun and looked at Xie Jia'an, looking helpless, "As soon as he entered the door, he picked ours first, right?

, hurry up and take a shower first, change your clothes and come here quickly, it’s been more than half a year since you came back and we got married again, I miss you so much."

Xie Mingyun leaned forward, pulled Su Nan and turned around and walked out of the flower hall. Several women and girls hurriedly stepped forward to guide her to the newly tidied yard.

"Aren't you too rude?" Su Nan gently pulled Xie Mingyun and said in a low voice.

"They are rude. They are anxious to see you. They can't be rude like this. You have just returned home. You must follow the rules for them. I told you, if there is one, there will be two. You can't give in to one step."

Xie Mingyun's voice was not too low. They heard it best and told him something for him.

"Well, your family really loves you." Su Nan added with a low hum.

Xie Mingyun glanced at her and didn't answer any more.

The courtyards of Xie Mingyun and Su Nan are exactly the same as the pictures drawn by Xie Mingyun. Su Nan lives in the inner courtyard, and the outer courtyard is where Xie Mingyun lives. Outside the corner door on the side, connected by a verandah to a small courtyard, is Xie Mingyun's study.

In the corridor of the inner courtyard, a row of girls stood with their hands down. Su Nan was a little timid, but she already knew something. She whispered to the leading girl to hurry up and quickly washed up and changed clothes. Xie Mingyun had already changed.

A green lotus-colored gown was standing on the porch waiting for her.

The two returned to the flower hall again. Compared with before, the flower hall was extremely lively. Hongye stood at the door of the flower hall with his hands hanging, and there was a box next to him.

Above, Xie Shangshu looked at the hand of Xie Mingyun who was still holding Su Nan. He looked away for a moment and looked at Xie Mingyun who had already walked in front of him and said with a smile: "Is this Su? He is a good boy."

"Yes." Xie Mingyun bowed in response first, and then looked at Su Nan, "This is Da Weng, this is Weng Weng."

The girl standing next to her had brought a mat. Su Nan knelt down, and Xie Mingyun knelt down at the same time as her, kowtowing in greeting.

"Where's the tea?" Mrs. Zhao hurriedly leaned over and said, "You, a big man, want to drink this bowl of wife's tea. You can't live without it."

The girl hurriedly handed over the tea, and Su Nan took it and offered two bowls of daughter-in-law tea.

I met Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhou, and then met several cousins, uncles and aunts. After another round, they were brothers and sisters of the same generation.

Xie Mingyun followed Su Nan and introduced, "...this is the ninth sister of my second uncle's family."

Su Nan took the sky celadon tea bowl from her mother-in-law and said, "I heard that Ninth Sister loves tea. I was passing by..."

"I heard that according to the rules of Pingjiang Mansion, a bride must present needlework made by herself when she accepts her marriage." Ninth Lady stretched out her hand to take the tea bowl, without looking at the tea bowl, she only looked at Su Nan and said with a smile.

This ninth sister is most favored by the old lady of the Xie family, she loves to talk and laugh.

"Yes, Pingjiang Mansion has such rules. Sister-in-law Jiu must be very good at needlework. From a family like Sister-in-law Jiu, it is said that if the female beauty is not good, she will not be able to marry." The eighth lady, the granddaughter of Xie Shangshu next to her, immediately answered.

.

"Yes, I couldn't get married originally, but finally someone was willing to marry me, so I got married immediately." Su Nan answered honestly.

The ninth lady snorted, and the eighth lady's eyes widened.

What does this mean?

Mrs. Zhou, who was obedient, glanced at Mrs. Zhao. They both raised their eyebrows. They lowered their eyebrows for a moment, pursed their lips and smiled. She said, no matter what, the person Jiu Ge'er likes is the same.

Where to go, but she still couldn't figure out why Brother Jiu liked this Su family?

Is that marriage really ordained?

"Then what is Ninth Sister good at? There must be something good at something, right?" The Eighth Lady was a little angry. Her Ninth Brother, who was like a fairy, actually married such a poor village woman. She felt sad and unhappy ever since she heard about it.

"Your sister-in-law is the best at handling me. When she asks me to make tea, I make tea. When she asks me to grind ink, I grind it. If she thinks I should make more progress, I will go to school to take the Chunwei exam. If she thinks I should learn needlework, don't worry.

, I must have learned very well."

At the last sentence, Xie Mingyun looked at Su Nan and said with a smile, and Su Nan laughed.

"Eighth Sister, come here." There was a hint of seriousness in Mrs. Zhao's voice. The Eighth Lady did not dare to say any more and hurriedly sat down next to Mrs. Zhao.

Xie Shangshu and Xie Jia'an listened to Xie Mingyun's words, looked at each other, lowered their eyes and continued drinking tea.

Xie Mingyun held Su Nan's hand and kissed her. Madam Zhou waved to Su Nan, "Sister Nan, come to Grandma, let's talk."

Su Nan hurriedly lowered her hands and stood in front of Mrs. Zhou's bed. Mrs. Zhou pulled her to sit next to her, "You came here after a long journey and were exhausted. You sat down to talk. Our family doesn't have those messy and troublesome rules."

"Yes." Su Nan glanced at Mrs. Zhou and felt slightly relieved. This family was similar to what Xie Mingyun said. It was indeed the Ninth Lady and the Eighth Lady who came out to irritate her.

Xie Mingyun was called to his side by Xie Shangshu and Xie Jia'an. Xie Shangshu looked him up and down, "It's really different for people who have married. Is there really going to be an exam this year? This morning, the emperor specially left me to ask a question.

, I haven’t seen you, I don’t have any confirmation, and I don’t dare to give confirmation to the emperor, are you really going to take the exam?”

"Well, if I can support myself, my sister's life will be easier. I can't let her live by looking at other people's faces." Xie Mingyun looked at Xie Shangshu, frankly and clearly.

Xie Jiaan sighed and shook his head silently.

"No matter what the reason is, as long as he is willing to make progress, that's good." Xie Shangshu turned around and said something to Xie Jia'an, then looked at Xie Mingyun and said: "Now that you have made up your mind, you have to be well prepared. What will happen to you will be all over the capital."

Everyone is watching."
