Planning to marry the third master

In two days, Xie Yunxiao and Feng Zhuohua took their three children to Jinling.

Old Mrs. Xie is doing well, but Old Mr. Xie is in poor health and has to use a cane to walk, and he walks a little shakily. He was very happy to see his third son and grandson coming.

The two elders sat upright and watched their grandson kowtow to them, smiling from ear to ear. "Everyone, get up and come to grandma."

Except for the baby in the cradle, Xie Xinyu and Xie Xintang all walked to the two elders' knees.

The old man touched his head one by one. Mrs. Xie said, "It's rare for you to come back and stay for a while. Please keep me company."

Xie Yunxiao said: "Okay, I'll stay with you as long as you two say." He had already understood the health of the two elders. Mr. Xie was really in his twilight years. How long he could live depended on fate.

Old Mrs. Xie smiled with wrinkles on her face and said, "Okay, okay, okay."

Feng Zhuohua glanced at Xie Yunxiao, not knowing how to start. Xie Yunxiao said, "I came here today to hold a wedding for Xinnian."

"Oh? Whose girl is this?" Old Mrs. Xie looked at Feng Zhuohua.

Feng Zhuohua paused, and while he was considering, Xie Yunxiao spoke up: "I am the adopted daughter of the Imperial Observatory in Bianjing, and I am staying in Lin'an temporarily."

To hold the position of Imperial Astronomical Observatory, one must be knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, be familiar with the five elements and calculate the calendar. There is much more to know than what is described here.

How come she is an adopted daughter? Oh, all powerful people are not concerned with worldly matters, so it is possible to adopt a daughter. Old Lady Xie smiled and said, "How about that girl?"

Feng Zhuohua said: "She is gentle and quiet, with a kind heart. She is a rare good woman."

"Oh~ Since you must have met her in Lin'an, if you say so, then this girl must be good."

Feng Zhuohua considered again, and Xie Yunxiao spoke up, saying, "The two elders have met this woman."

"Hmm?" Old Master Xie asked in confusion, "Did we meet in Bianjing?"

Xie Yunxiao said: "I have seen him at Xie's house."

Feng Zhuohua said: "She gave birth to a daughter for Xinnian, and hid her in Lin'an for us to see. The girl is very cute. She also bought a few shops outside and lived a colorful life."

Old Mrs. Xie frowned and asked in confusion, "Are you talking about one person?"

Xie Yunxiao nodded and emphasized again: "She is also the adopted daughter of the Imperial Observatory."

Old Mrs. Xie understood, and fell silent. She looked at the two people who came. She was prepared for this. That girl was just a maid in the room. How could she be worthy of Xin Nian?

Mr. Xie said, "Are you talking about the maid who ran away from Xin Nian?"

Feng Zhuohua nodded and said, "That girl gave birth to a child alone. She was resolute and tenacious, and took good care of the child. Such a good woman is rare. I admit that I don't have the tenacity and ruthlessness of that girl. I think she is better than many women in the world."

She tried her best to persuade the two elders.

Xie Yunxiao said: "She is living alone outside, and she has made good plans. She can live well without entering the Xie Mansion. There is no need for her to enter the Xie Mansion. However, it is inconvenient for the child to be without a father outside."

Mrs. Xie said, "There is no reason for the Xie family's children to be outside."

Xie Yunxiao said: "You have seen what Xin Nian has been like in recent years. He has been away from home for a long time and has spent most of his energy looking for people. I don't think there is any need to waste time."

Old Mrs. Xie looked at the couple, who were obviously well prepared. She glanced at Feng Zhuohua and said, "How are you going to explain this to his dead mother?" There was naturally some resentment in her tone.

Feng Zhuohua knew that Mrs. Xie would be dissatisfied, but what could she do? Let's see if her arm can twist over her thigh.

Xie Yunxiao said, "As long as Xinnian is happy, he is destined to be busy in this life, and there are not many happy things. This is the only thing that makes him happy. If Luo Mingshuang were still alive, she would probably feel sorry for Xinnian. She cares about family background, and that girl also has a godfather as a backer. She is not inferior to any daughter of aristocratic family. All the conditions are met, so what is there to be dissatisfied about."

Xie Yunxiao tried his best to speak for his daughter-in-law to prevent the old lady from blaming her and causing displeasure.

After all this, Mrs. Xie couldn't say anything more. She pondered for a long time, convinced herself, and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it. You guys make the decision for him. I'm old."

Xie Yunxiao said, "Life is only a few decades long, so live it the way you want. I've watched Xin Nian grow up, and I've spent more time and effort on him than his father did. I'll naturally take good care of him, so you two don't have to worry."

Mrs. Xie said, "You talk a lot today, which is rare."

Xie Yunxiao smiled and said, "Who told Xin Nian to only listen to me?"

Mrs. Xie looked at him, and hesitated to speak, and simply kept silent. She only listened to Xie Yunxiao's words, but she had already decided that it would inevitably make the child sad, so she thought about it and let it go.

Mr. Xie said, "You are here to prepare for the wedding. I think you have set a date. When is it?"

Feng Zhuohua said: "Since we already have a child, it's natural that the sooner we get married, the better. The date will be after January."

Mr. Xie nodded and said, "It is my blessing to see Xinnian get married and have children in my lifetime."

Mrs. Xie said, "Then I'll trouble you two to take care of these things."

Xie Yunxiao asked, "I heard that Big Brother has a second wife in Bianjing?"

Old Lady Xie nodded and said, "You should ask his second wife to come to Nanjing to arrange things. It's a bit far away, and she is not as familiar with Nanjing as you two are, so I don't think she can help. However, you can ask Sun Chang's wife to help you. She is capable." At this point, she sighed and said, "It's just that they gave birth to girls."

The eldest wife, Xie Xinxian, took a concubine, who became pregnant, and there were many other trivial matters. His parents agreed to take a concubine because they were worried about having an offspring.

Feng Zhuohua said: "Don't bother, I'm familiar with Feiyuyuan."

Mrs. Xie nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you then."

Feng Zhuohua nodded.

There were noises outside. Xie Yunxiao came in from the back door. People didn't know about it at first. But now that the news spread, everyone came to Chunhuayuan.

The first one to come in was Xie Yunhao. When he saw Xie Yunxiao, he also raised his voice: "Third brother, why didn't you say hello when you came? I only knew about it when the servants talked about it."

The next person to come in was Wang Qingyue, followed by Xie Xinxian and Dong Peijia, and behind them was a gentle woman who was pregnant.

Feng Zhuohua would naturally take a few glances at strangers when she saw them. This time, she actually felt that the person looked somewhat similar to herself. She wondered if it was her illusion.

Xie Yunxiao naturally also caught a glimpse of it and looked unhappy. Although she was very different from Feng Zhuohua, the fact that they were three points similar also showed that Xie Xinxian had always liked his third aunt and had been thinking about her so much that he even found a substitute.

Xie Yunxiao said to Feng Zhuohua: "Take the child to Feiyu Courtyard to rest. I will talk to my second brother."

Feng Zhuohua nodded, stretched out her hand and said, "Yu'er, Tangtang, come back to the house with mother and rest."

The two children bowed to the two elders and walked to Feng Zhuohua.

Feng Zhuohua held the child's hand and asked the child to call people one by one. After recognizing the people, he took the child away.

Since he had just arrived, it was necessary to take a rest, and no one stopped Feng Zhuohua to talk.

But several pairs of eyes watched her leave.
