Chapter 451: Winning over
However, Niu Niu was young and did not have as many miscellaneous thoughts as Zhang Yunniang. The little girl directly grabbed Xie Xingchuan's sleeve: "Second brother, aren't you from your family? Just stay at home, okay? I'm looking forward to celebrating the New Year with you." ?”
Although Xie Xingchuan was happy to recognize his relatives, the Xie family's more than ten years of upbringing could not be wiped away casually: "Good boy, my brother will come see you tomorrow."
The Gu family almost sent him out together with the whole family this time.
Such a huge formation even shocked Nanny Xie who came to pick them up.
“What do you want to eat tomorrow morning? Mom will cook it for you!” Zhang Yunniang asked.
Xie Xingchuan actually didn't want to eat anything in particular, but looking at Zhang Yunniang's eager face, he could only say: “Chicken soup noodles are very good.”
Zhang Yunniang was afraid that he would not make the request. When she heard this, she kept nodding her head and said, "Mother will kill the chicken soon. The chicken soup will be simmered on low heat for one night, and it will be delicious."
Xie Xingchuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He liked this feeling of being taken seriously.
“Brother, I will get up very early tomorrow, and I will wait for you at the door!” Niu Niu said with a smile.
Xie Xingchuan reached out and touched the top of the little girl's soft hair and said, "Forget it. If you sleep a little longer, maybe you will see me waiting for you when you get up in the morning."
Niuniu waved her little fist and said very seriously: "I will definitely be able to get up. I want to take my brother home!"
Xie Xingchuan's heart softened.
Grandma Xie looked at the affectionate appearance of the big family from the side, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt that things seemed to be out of control.
“Master, it's getting late, my wife is still waiting for you at home.” Grandma Xie urged.
Xie Xingchuan turned around, glanced at the family members who had just recognized him with a look of reluctance, and waved to them.
The Xie family's carriage disappeared at the end of the road, and Niu Niu turned around with a disappointed face and said, "Brother Xie doesn't live at home. I might not be able to sleep well at night."
“My brother is back, what's not good about him?” Gu Zhao asked.
Niuniu shook her head and said: "This is different, the family should stay together."
Zhang Yuniang felt sour in her heart after listening to her daughter's words. She suppressed it and kept comforting herself. Finding her back was more important than anything else.
However, Gu Zhao had already turned his head, looked at Zhang Yunniang with bright eyes, and said: "Mom, since the second brother can order food, I also want to order food. Can you ask sister Shuying to make me a bowl of pimple soup tomorrow morning? "
Crazy girl knows a lot of cuisines, and she only cooks many of them once or twice. Gu Zhao likes the pimple soup she makes very much.
Zhang Yunniang did not refuse, and just said: "I will ask her later. If she is not willing, then I have to forget it."
Gu Zhao nodded vigorously.
Zhang Yuniang asked the other two children: "Do you two want to eat anything in particular?"
The Gu family has always been like this. Even if Xie Xingchuan is a newly found child and he is partial to him, he will not neglect other children because of this.
Gu Yan shook his head: "I'm not picky about food. I'll eat whatever is in the kitchen. There's no need to cook anything special for me."
Niu Niu was not polite and said, "I want to eat fried glutinous rice cakes!" "Okay." Zhang Yunniang agreed gently.
On the carriage, Nanny Xie looked at Xie Xingchuan. Although she did not smile, she felt that all the gloominess in his body seemed to have dissipated, and she seemed to be immersed in inexplicable joy.
“Master, did you have a good time at Gu's house today?” Grandma Xie asked cautiously.
She did not expect Xie Xingchuan to answer.
But Xie Xingchuan was in a really good mood at the moment. He smiled and said, "The Gu family is very nice. I like them very much."
Manny Xie's heart sank, but if she continued to ask in detail, Xie Xingchuan refused to speak anymore.
The carriage entered Xie's mansion. Just like yesterday, the first thing Xie Xingchuan did after returning home was to greet Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie still hasn't seen him.
Xie Xingchuan didn't seem surprised by this at all. After making an appearance, he turned around and left.
But as a close confidant of Mrs. Xie, Nanny Xie has served Mrs. Xie for so many years. She is more anxious than anyone else at this time:
"Madam, you didn't see the situation of the Gu family today. A group of people came out surrounded by the young master. Those who didn't know it thought they were a family. The young master looked at Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu as his father and mother, and the Gu family treated him well. I even asked him what he wanted to eat tomorrow morning and made a special trip for him.”
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she frowned slightly and said, "The Gu family are really thieves. They knew that this little **** was going to be promising, so they tried their best to win over him."
Grandma Xie hurriedly said: "Madam, you should be a little nicer to the young master. If the Gu family is not careful in doing things, we can't really let them succeed?"
Mrs. Xie had a gloomy face and said, "Go to Zhige Courtyard and ground this kid for ten days."
Mother Xie's head suddenly got big: "Madam, the Gu family has tried so hard to please him, why do you still punish him? Doesn't this push people further and further away?"
Mrs. Xie was not used to looking down on her son and said, "Am I not treating him well? Didn't I let him drink old duck soup yesterday?"
"The little **** is a little bastard, he is born with a foreign heart. If he dares to be disobedient to me in the future, I will go to the Yamen to sue him for disobedience and see how he can become an official!" Mrs. Xie obviously had her own ideas.
Grandma Xie was speechless for a while and said: "Do you really want to make things happen? This will not do you or Miss Xuerou any good! I know you are thinking about Master Chengbao, but the current situation is not as good as others!"
Mrs. Xie said helplessly: "Okay, let's have a cup of chicken soup stewed in the kitchen and send it to him later."
Grandma Xie responded and asked: "Madam, the young master is not young anymore. Shouldn't he prepare a few maids to serve others?"
Mrs. Xie frowned again: "He is able to marry Xuerou, which is a blessing he earned in his previous life. How about preparing a maid for him to marry him?"
Mrs. Xie felt in her heart that Xie Xingchuan was unworthy. She felt tired just saying this.
"The young master is getting older, and it is inevitable that when he is impulsive, if the Gu family prepares someone for him, this first girl is always special to men. When I go back and encourage him a few words, I feel more and more how good the Gu family is. Do it?" Nanny Xie advised.
Mrs. Xie was thinking more at this time. When she married into the Xie family, her husband already had a daughter-in-law.
This man gave her a lot of trouble back then. If this girl hadn't killed two people during childbirth, she might not be living as good a life as she is today.
It was precisely because of this girl that General Xie became suspicious of her. Later, he built an outer room and she stayed outside and never brought her back to the capital.
