This is also the main reason why Xie Mingdai disliked Ming Jin since she was a child - I would like to ask my parents and brothers at home to praise the young lady in the next room every day, can you bear it?
But the compliment they gave was very true and not exaggerated. You didn't even have a chance to refute, and you just grew up in the shadow of the other person for many years.
Xie Mingdai felt that she had already become an extremely well-educated person by not placing a curse on Ming Jinzha.
Probably because the resentment under Xie Mingdai's bright face was too obvious, Xie Zhixiu was immediately embarrassed, but didn't say much. Just as Lin called them, the brother and sister left.
But Xie Mingdai is also very good at observing people's emotions. Xie Mingjin must be very familiar with her brother. However, in the past four years, since Xie Mingjin went to the village, her brother has never mentioned it. Today, she was very cold when we met. She even asked her elders to remind her to greet her.
, and because the King of Banquets just appeared, he couldn't go there.
Actually, I didn’t even say hello anymore.
it's wired.
Such a change, either her brother is a person who can act according to the circumstances, but this is unreasonable. Regardless of whether Xie Mingjin and her uncle are truly loving fathers and filial piety, her status in the Xie family is stable. No matter how she gets married in the future, she will still be a princess. Her brother should not
Such behavior.
That is the second type.
Four years ago...What did Xie Mingjin do to break up with Xie Yuan and cause his brother to be cold?
Maybe she could get a rough idea in the capital.

"Everyone in the family has been waiting. When I heard that mother and sister were coming, my eldest and second uncles were very happy. It's a pity that my father is on official business this time and cannot come because he has to travel to Wuling."
Mrs. Lin and Xie Mingdai: We believe the second uncle, but the eldest uncle... forget it.
That devil-like figure still has a happy expression? Very happy?
It's scary to think about it.
"By the way, sister Mingrong will also come home and wait for you today."
As soon as Xie Zhixiu finished speaking, he saw Xie Mingdai's face was gloomy.
Well, he almost forgot.
My sister hates more than one sister.

"It's so far away and we haven't arrived yet. Are the mansions in the capital built in the mountains?" Xie Mingyue sat on the carriage, her butt hurt. She opened the curtain and looked at the carriage in front of her, muttering something in her mouth.
Ming Jin's car is definitely better than hers.
Grandma tried her best to stabilize Xie Mingyue and moved away, saying, "Girl, this has nothing to do with the car."
Xie Mingyue: "Does that have anything to do with our butts?"
Grandma: "...."
Please don't bring such vulgar words to your sister-in-law, you are different.

No matter how far the journey is, it will eventually come to an end.
When many carriages parked in the huge courtyard square, the two huge painted walls were towering, and the arc of the road spread out. When they came, the people in the carriages had already seen the rows of tall birch trees and the beautiful mountains, forests and lakes.
The atmosphere is so majestic that Xie Mingyue and other people who were born in Wuling have already been stunned by these beautiful scenery. When they see the true appearance of the Duke's Mansion, they can't get back to their senses.
"Take a look and see the expression like pig's trotters."
When Xie Mingdai walked past Xie Mingyue, she whispered coldly. Xie Mingyue was immediately angry and was about to catch up, but was grabbed by Xie Zhipur. "She is reminding you that she is afraid that you will be humiliated by those in the capital.
"
The two siblings should know that they come from an embarrassing background and cannot be put on the stage, so they have to be more cautious in dealing with others.
"I know, why do you need to tell me?"
"Then you still..."
"Do I still need to find a reason for scolding her? I just need to find time."
"...."
Xie Zhichun was dumbfounded and could only watch as Xie Mingyue went to the front to "provoke" Xie Mingdai with great arrogance, and then began to be beaten unilaterally...
When Xie Zhipuru was speechless, his eyes involuntarily focused on Ming Jin, who was standing in front of the gate of Xie's house.
Many people were looking at her, because she was standing in front of the door and looking up at the plaque of the palace with a calm expression, but her eyes were distant, and a sense of loneliness and gloom seemed to escape from her thin and slender body.
People who are too smart are overthinking. This is probably what is meant by the saying that extreme wisdom will inevitably lead to injury.
Xie Zhipurn thought so inexplicably.
But he still didn't understand what happened to make a woman who had not left the government feel so ambivalent and depressed about the family that raised her.
——————
The door of the mansion has been opened, and the white-haired but energetic butler walked out with steady steps. His face was stern at first, but when he saw Ming Jin, his expression suddenly changed. He seemed to be alive all of a sudden. He took three steps and two steps at a time.
He rushed to Ming Jin and knelt down with a bang.
"Girl, you are back!"
Ming Jin was lost in thought when he was awakened by the movement. When he saw the old housekeeper kneeling down, he suddenly had a headache. He quickly asked Shaoyao to help him up, with a look of helplessness on his face, "Uncle Yun, what are you doing? You are so old."
, you’re going to break me.”
"Young lady is the young master of the palace, you can afford it." Although Butler Yun was helped up, his attitude was very clear - he only recognized one young master.
Who was this said to?
Not only for other people in the Duke's Mansion, but also for people like Xie Mingdai, this is making a show for Xie Mingjin, who has only returned after four years of absence.
Old fox!
Xie Mingdai and others were clear in their hearts, but they didn't have much resentment. This was actually a fact. It can only be said that this incident also proved one thing from the side - it was absolutely impossible for Xie Mingjin to be rejected and expelled back then.
The old housekeeper came out, and soon another group of people came out from behind the door. Xie Mingdai also stayed in the Duke's Mansion back then. After all, when the third room returned to Wuling, she had already been born, and she still had an impression of the Duke's Mansion and other clan members who stayed in the capital.
.
For example...Xie Mingrong?
Xie Mingdai saw a bunch of relatives coming out to greet her. Following Lin's warm greetings, she also called some aunts, uncles, cousins, younger brothers and sisters, but she didn't see Xie Mingrong.
"Ajin, you're back."
Mrs. Xu, the second wife of the Xie family, spoke in a rather complicated tone, and her eyes when she looked at Ming Jin were even more complicated, but Ming Jin was very calm and saluted her, "I've met my second aunt."
Mrs. Xu nodded repeatedly, but she didn't dare to hold hands and ask affectionately like Ming Dai. She only responded politely, and then she didn't know what to say.
Xie Mingdai suddenly thought that it was not strange for her mother, who was from a small family like her, to be afraid of Ming Jin, because her second aunt was the eldest daughter of an Earl's Palace, so she was also polite to Ming Jin and reserved a certain amount of propriety.
But think about it again...the old grandmother is still locked up in her old house.
What are these?
——————
Recruiting someone is the job of the entire family, but placement has nothing to do with the second wife, because the position of duke was an honor given to the great ancestor of the Xie family, but was later deprived of it. It was Xie Yuan who took it back and even entered the cabinet.
As an important minister, it is equivalent to saying that the current glory of the Xie family was created by Xie Yuan, rather than inherited by the ancestors. When personal power is higher than the power of the family, it is natural that the eldest family has the final say, so the second aunt and others did not show off, but
The old housekeeper was allowed to mention government matters to Ming Jin.
As he said this, he passed the front hall, the middle courtyard, more than a hundred wing rooms, seven or eight gardens of various sizes, and three or four inner lakes.
Xie Mingyue was stunned.
But Ming Jin is used to seeing this, and is not very interested in the family affairs mentioned by the old housekeeper. He only listens without asking, and at least asks about the health of some old servants, as if he does not want to violate the loyalty of the old man. In fact, he is very interested in the Xie family.
Things...she left some room.
While Mrs. Lin was thinking, she saw her second sister-in-law, whom she was familiar with in the past, looking at her, "Second sister-in-law..."
"She asked you to take care of the house in Wuling?"
"Yeah, it scared me to death..."
"Look at your potential, but from the looks of it, I'm afraid there will be some trouble when she comes back this time..."
The two sisters-in-law looked at each other, and they were both a little shy - it would be a joke to say it out loud, as housewives like them were most afraid of their uncle and niece quarreling.
One or two of them, when they really act, they are all scary in the same vein.
