Chapter 5 Acting
The fine snow was blown up by the east wind, making it very cold.
Xie Fengyue wore a crescent-white double-breasted skirt, with a thin circle of hair braided on the skirt. Another cloak of the same color was worn outside. Because of the injury on her head, her black hair was held up with only a jade hairpin.
Nowadays, the literati and scholars are all in favor of simplicity and elegance.
Complexity is the custom, and even some literati and poets have to wear only a summer robe in the cold winter months. They also use a fan like those princes and grandsons to blow some cold wind on their bare chests from time to time.
The thick curtain in the front hall blocked the chill, and Xie Fengyue lifted the curtain and entered.
Xie Fengyu, who was usually arrogant and bossy around everyone, now had a soft and delicate smile on his face: "Thank you, Master Yan, for saving my sister's life. She was injured and didn't want to come over. I found her today." The good pear blossom stuffing comes as a thank you to Sister Yue.”
The woman at the same table with him also smiled sweetly and agreed, "Sister Yu, you are really well-intentioned." As soon as she said the words, her voice was not loud enough and just enough for people to hear clearly, "Sister Yue, is your leg injured too? Anyway, it is. A lifesaver~”
Xie Fengyue raised her eyebrows and said to herself: "How can I be so lucky that I can encounter gossip as soon as I enter the house?"
Wang Yan sat at the lower left side of the main table. He leaned sideways and listened to Mrs. Xie's words.
Xie Fengyue could not see his appearance for a moment.
Her steps were graceful and graceful, and the sound of the rings banging against her waist was pleasant to the ear. After coughing a few times, he said, "It turns out I'm late."
A few glances shot towards him.
Xie Fengyue's posture remained unchanged, but there was a look of panic on her face: "Mother won't blame me."
Mrs. Xie's expression was calm, but Xie Fengyu stood up: "Who let..." The woman beside her hurriedly grabbed the corner of her clothes and pulled her back.
Mrs. Xie took a sip of tea and said calmly: "You were just injured. Come here and give me a glass of hot wine and go back to your room early."
Xie Fengyue bowed and saluted: "My daughter thanked my mother and I feel sorry for her, but my heart palpitates and I feel scared when I think of what happened yesterday. Now, thanks to the help of the young master, I can return to my mother to fulfill my filial piety."
Shi Shiran turned sideways and saluted Young Master Yan: "Thank you for your righteousness, Young Master, but the doctor told me that I should not drink alcohol until my head injury is healed. Today I rashly drank tea instead of wine. I hope you will forgive me."
Wang Yan took the time to look at the girl's delicate appearance, which was completely different from the fierce look she had on the cliff.
He stood up and returned the greeting with his hands in hand: "Girl, there is no need to be polite, just like the situation yesterday. Anyone who sees it will be reluctant to help."
Xie Fengyue raised her head and looked at him, his face was extremely sincere and he looked like a gentleman.
If she hadn't heard those words with her own ears yesterday, there would be no help. Seeing his glorious appearance, Xie Fengyue couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude, right?
What Wang Yan didn't know was that when he formally met his future wife for the first time, she had criticized him in her heart as "a hypocrite."
After Xie Fengyue offered tea, she bowed to Mrs. Xie Yingying: "Mother, my daughter is going to the ancestral hall now."
Mrs. Xie's eyelids jumped when she heard this, but she didn't wait for her to speak.
Gongzi Yan asked: "Are there any sacrifices in the ancestral hall in the cold winter that need the Xie family girls to take care of?"
His eyebrows were cold, but there was a smile on his face.
She raised her eyes, tears hanging on her crow-feather eyelashes, and opened her mouth, but she never said anything.
Wang Yan continued to ask: "But it made me sad? I was rude." He drank a glass of hot wine as if he was annoyed. But Xie Fengyue obviously dropped her smile when she saw the corner of his mouth.
Mrs. Xie smiled openly: "She wanted to copy a few volumes of the Purana Sutra for Aunt Hua." Xie Fengyue pursed her lips and said nothing, but tears quietly flowed from her eyes. She has an excellent figure and can even kneel down gracefully.
Wang Yan spoke again: "The girl is really kind-hearted, but your hands..." When he said this, his tone was very strange, which made Xie Fengyue look up at him.
Wang Yan met her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she was about to cry, but her eyes were clear.
"She is really a black-hearted girl."
Xie Fengyue didn't miss the probing look in his eyes, and secretly cursed in her heart: "Why does this hypocrite look at her like this? It's weird."
Mrs. Xie didn't know what they were thinking, she only saw them looking at each other as if they were flirting.
She couldn't help but think of Xie Fengyue's mother Liu, who had also looked at her husband like this here.
She suppressed the hatred in her heart and just wanted Xie Fengyue to disappear from her eyes: "It is not appropriate for you to go to the ancestral hall to copy the Sutra of the Past before your hand injury is healed. Please return to the courtyard to recuperate."
Xie Fengyue was stunned, "Is it so simple? She originally thought she needed to show the injury on her hand to force Mrs. Xie to undo her engraving."
The more Mrs. Xie looked at her, the more she felt the thorn in her heart. She closed her eyes to calm down and put on a loving look on her face: "I forgot to introduce you."
She pointed at the person next to Xie Fengyu and continued: "This is also a poor person. All his family members are dead. Now it is decided by the clan elder to record it in my name. You have raised her by more than a month, and now she is also your sister. .”
Only then did Xie Fengyue realize that he was waiting for her here.
Knock on the mountain to suppress the tiger, and add a legitimate daughter to your name. If you are disobedient, replace her with an obedient one to enjoy the glory and wealth.
Do these people think it is a good thing to marry into the Wu Palace and become the queen of the old King Wu?
Xie Fengyue sneered in her heart, if anyone wants this wealth, just go for it.
The woman next to Xie Fengyu stood up and gave a standard sisterly salute: "Xie Fengrou has met my sister. I have long heard from sister Yu'er that my sister is unparalleled in beauty. When I saw her today, it turned out to be true." She smiled shyly, as if it was true. General admiration.
Xie Fengyue had already stopped crying. There was a hint of bitterness in her voice before she replied: "Sister Rou is so complimentary. They are just partial remarks from family members. They are countless."
A male voice interrupted abruptly: "It's the girl who is being modest. I have been traveling around the mountains and rivers for a long time. I have only seen a handful of girls who can match their beauty." As soon as such romantic and abrupt words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
Xie Fengyue narrowed her eyes, this Young Master Yan spoke completely casually and didn't even consider what others would think after hearing this. It was really hateful.
Mrs. Xie's eyes lingered on the two of them. She was afraid that the past would happen again and she hurriedly said: "Okay, Yue'er, if you are injured, go back to the yard first. I will ask grandma to open my private treasury and send you some supplements." ”
As soon as she made the final decision, a maid came to help Fengyue.
When Xie Fengyue walked in the corridor, she felt like a lump in her throat.
She was interrupted halfway through her performance. Although she was seeking the same result, she just felt uncomfortable.
As soon as the master and servant returned to the yard, they saw that the originally empty Jinyuan now had a girl clearing the snow.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
