Xie Bufan is here!
However, with him was also Madam Xie!
When he came, he brought lots of gifts. Those who knew him said he was here to apologize, while those who didn’t thought he was here to propose marriage!
When Si Xi brought back the news, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were chatting in Jingxinzhai.
This Jingxinzhai has now become the activity center for the three of them. The outer room has been decorated as a special mahjong room, and the inner room is a lounge.
In the past two days, all three of them had their periods, and they felt uncomfortable sitting and playing mahjong, so they stayed in the inner room, leaning on the couches where their men had slept when they were young and chatting.
As Zhang Xinyue chatted, she would occasionally become absent-minded. She and Shen Laosan had spent the night in this bed that day... If they knew about this, they would probably be disgusted. Forget it, this matter had to be kept secret.
When they heard that Xie Bufan was coming, the three women became excited.
There are melons to eat!
Zhang Xinyue sat up immediately and ordered Rendong, "I wonder if Madam will send someone to call the Third Brother back. Go and take a look. If not, send a servant!"
As soon as Ren Dong left, Liu Wanyun said to Si Xi, "Go find Miss Zhao Di and ask her to come to Jing Xin Zhai to play. Run quickly!"
Run quickly and invite Zhaodi over before Madam Shen calls her, so that they can join in the fun.
Although I am not sure whether Madam Shen will let Zhaodi receive Madam Xie, I have to prepare in advance.
Otherwise, the three women would have no excuse to go to the scene.
Considering that Zhaodi is not very good at playing mahjong, it seems a bit strange to only invite her.
Liu Wanyun said to Qiao'er, "Go and call Miss Ruonan over and ask her to play mahjong with us!"
Qiao'er looked at Guan Xiaoyu, and when she saw her mistress nod, she immediately followed her out.
These three maids have become accustomed to the changes in the young ladies, and even like the current young ladies more. They are more relaxed and approachable. Whenever they have something delicious or nice to wear, they think of them and treat them like their sisters.
Naturally, I understand a little bit about what they are thinking at this moment, and they also want to listen to the gossip.
Soon, Ruonan and Zhaodi were called to Jingxinzhai.
The three of them also sat at the mahjong table and pretended to draw cards.
When Ruonan entered the room and saw that they had already started playing, she scolded them, "Sisters-in-law, aren't you three good at playing? You called Ruonan over here. Are you trying to win her money again?"
He said with a bitter face, "My few months of salary can't afford to accompany you guys to fight like this every day..."
Zhang Xinyue pulled her to sit down. "It's boring to play with three of us. Hurry up and let's play for one cent. I'll let you win less today..."
Liu Wanyun stood up and pushed Zhaodi to her seat. "Come, Zhaodi, I'm going to teach you a lesson today..."
Zhaodi struggled to get up, "Sister-in-law, I'd better watch you fight. I'm afraid I'll lose too much to you."
Guan Xiaoyu smiled rarely, "Don't worry, sister-in-law has a lot of money!"
Several people started playing mahjong. After a round, when they started shuffling the cards, Liu Wanyun pretended to chat.
"I heard that Master Xie is here, and Madam Xie is here too..."
Zhaodi carefully sorted the cards, not making eye contact with them, and said calmly, "I know what you want to ask, sister-in-law, but I won't agree to it!"
Liu Wanyun admired Zhaodi's temperament and asked curiously, "What if the master and the mistress insist? They force you to do this! What will you do?"
Zhaodi stopped what she was doing and said firmly, "Then I will become a monk!"
Ruonan looked at Zhaodi deeply at her reaction and thoughts. This sister had a really stubborn temper. Women would get married sooner or later. As long as she had a good family background, she could become the legal wife, take care of the household, and live a good life. Men shouldn't have too high expectations. Sooner or later, they would have to take concubines. What was the point of worrying about these things before getting married...
Liu Wanyun hadn't expected Zhaodi to be so resolute. She laughed heartily, "There's no need to become a nun. You can live a good life, why would you want to be a poor nun? If Zhaodi trusts the three sisters-in-law, when the Madam asks you to go to the front hall, take us with you. We will definitely ruin this for you!"
She also didn't want Zhaodi to go to the Xie family. Firstly, she felt that Mr. Xie was unreliable. Secondly, she wanted Zhaodi to marry Xiaoyu's senior brother or the eldest brother of the Zhang family, so that they could help each other in the future.
Of course, this also depends on fate. I have to find an opportunity for them to meet before I can talk about the next step...
Zhaodi didn't know what her sisters-in-law were thinking. She just thought they were pretty nice. She raised her head and looked at her three sisters-in-law with gratitude.
They played cards for a long time until Mr. Shen returned home. Then Mrs. Shen sent someone to tell Zhaodi to go to the front hall.
Liu, Guan and Zhang naturally went along, while Ruonan went back to the house by herself. Although she also wanted to watch the fun, she didn't have the courage.
In the front hall, Madam Shen sat in the main seat, Shen Lao San and Xie Bufan sat on one side, and Madam Xie was on the other.
Hearing the footsteps, Mrs. Xie looked towards the door with a smile on her face, but when she saw Liu, Guan and Zhang, her face changed to an indescribable expression.
I met these three young ladies once at the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day. The situation at that time is still vivid in my mind, especially the eldest young lady, who was a sharp-tongued person and not easy to mess with.
Seeing the second young lady of the Shen family following behind her three sisters-in-law, she immediately understood that they were here to help her sister-in-law look after her.
She sat up straighter, cheered herself up, and prepared to deal with it properly. She couldn't let these little women ruin her business.
Seeing that the boy across from her was still chatting stupidly, she quickly coughed.
