Chapter 281 This is nothing
The problem that Songyan was most worried about was the Xie family from the capital coming to marry her.
For a woman like Xie Jingran who marries far away, her family should arrange for important relatives to come and see her off.
The more important the people who come, and the more people who come, it means that the family values the child more.
Unfortunately for Xie Jingran's situation, when the wedding date was approaching, someone from the Xie family came, but it was only an old servant who was trusted by Xie Erdie and a nanny who was in charge.
I brought a little gift to thank my family for adding to their box.
That attitude is simply too obvious.
Song Yan was so angry that she cried: "Master, they are really going too far!"
Even if those concubines don't come, a few of Xie Jingran's half-sisters should come, right?
Now, only two old servants came.
The legitimate son of the Xie family was just sent away like that?
Xie Jingran also felt very uncomfortable.
Those were his former family members. In the face of interests, family affection was worthless.
"I have Madam Xie in the old house to help and take care of things, and I'm not without someone to help me get married." Although Xie Jingran was sad, he still cheered up.
Mrs. Xie in the old house is just a side branch of the Xie family, and her blood relationship is very sparse.
If Xie Jingran had not left the capital and got married in the capital, Mrs. Xie would not have been qualified to attend the banquet.
But now, everyone is helping Xie Jingran with his marriage arrangements very attentively, and Mrs. Xie's children are also running around to help.
Things like human heart and family affection can only be truly revealed when something happens.
"Whether they come or not, it won't affect my marriage, and we don't have to worry about it!" Xie Jingran comforted himself, and also comforted Song Yan, who was even more nervous and anxious than he was before the marriage.
"You're right! It would be better if they didn't come!" There was a sudden loud cheer from outside the door.
Xie Jingran turned his head and saw that it was Lu Yao who came.
"Why are you here at this time?" Xie Jingran was both pleasantly surprised and astonished.
The wedding was in three days. Normally, many brides and grooms would not see each other during these few days, but Lu Yao came again.
"I missed you!" Lu Yao said with a grin.
Not only because she really missed Xie Jingran, but also because she had heard about the visitor from the Xie family.
Only two old servants came to send off the bride. Who are they trying to disgust?
Want to bully her husband? She immediately rushed over to find a place to fight!
"Don't talk nonsense." Xie Jingran looked at Zhang Sanniang and Zhao Cuihua standing on Lu Yao's left and right, and couldn't help blushing.
"Tell those two to come see me. I have something to say." Lu Yao sat down on the main seat, with the air of a patriarch.
The two old servants from the Xie family came slowly.
One is an old servant who is a close confidant of Xie Erdie, and the other is a steward who is highly trusted by Xie Erdie. Relying on Xie Erdie, the two of them now have some reputation in the Xie Mansion.
But, no matter how proud you are, you are still a servant!
Lu Yao was not used to them. After seeing the two of them, her expression became even more unfriendly.
When the two saw Lu Yao was here, their faces became very interesting.
Because of Lu Yao, they both recognized each other.
When Lu Yao went to the capital to propose marriage, thanks to the Queen Mother's decree and the help of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, Xie Jingran and Lu Yao were able to get married, and the Xie family did not make any obstacles in the beginning.
After all, she is just an abandoned child of a family. After breaking off the engagement with the Shangshu Mansion in the capital, she can't be sold for a good price. It's better to just go with the flow and marry her.
This prevents outsiders from saying that the Xie family mistreats their orphan son and abandons him outside without any care.
Take advantage of this opportunity to marry Xie Jingran off and let outsiders see that the Xie family has not really ignored Xie Jingran and has found him a wife.
As for marrying a villager from Shanyang Village, the ladies of the Xie family didn't care.
Anyway, this child will not help their careers at all, so they can marry whoever they want.
Xie Erdie and Xie Jingqi are the happiest!
Xie Erdie: You delayed my son's marriage, you deserve to marry a country girl!
Xie Jingqi: So you actually married down to such a low level, Xie Jingran, I'm finally better than you!
With the Xie family members wanting to watch the fun, take revenge, and suppress each other, Lu Yao and Xie Jingran's marriage was smoothly settled.
Even their marriage was handled extremely quickly and smoothly.
'Then, this country girl revealed her true colors! ' The two old servants of the Xie family gnashed their teeth on behalf of their masters when they thought of it.
Because Lu Yao got engaged smoothly and got the marriage contract, she started to ask the Xie family for the dowry from Xie Jingran's father.
During the various tugs and struggles, the two old servants could only say: Bah! A wild girl is a wild girl, she has no sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shamelessness!
These high-ranking officials in the capital city are very concerned about their reputation and believe that family disgrace should not be made public.
Every family has dirty deeds, but for the sake of face, they cover them up and maintain a good reputation and image in public.
But Lu Yao cares about you?
When she went to ask for her dowry, she discovered that these dignitaries were the ones who had no moral principles, no sense of shame, and were shameless for the sake of profit.
If you want to take over Xie Jingran's family, you must be aware of the bad reputation you will suffer.
Lu Yao started talking about this matter everywhere.
She is good at marketing and promotion, and even better at creating topics.
Not only did it expose the Xie family's affairs, it also guided the public to engage in extensive discussions, created hot topics, and used the power of public opinion to put pressure on the Xie family.
People love gossip in the first place, and now that a wealthy family’s secrets have been exposed, who wouldn’t want to talk more about it?
"Is it delicious to eat your own food?"
Where did the dowry go?
Xie Jia Love Me Again
These wonderful little stories spread quickly in the capital, and even Zhou Chengxi exclaimed after hearing them: My fellow countryman, you are so talented!
During that period, the masters and ladies of the Xie family suffered from the gossips of people all over the capital.
The Xie family has almost lost all their dignity, not to mention their face.
In order to prevent the rumor from spreading further and to avoid being reported by the censor, the Xie family honestly returned the dowry to Xie Jingran.
But after this incident, the relationship between the Xie family and Xie Jingran became even worse.
Only two old servants were sent to the wedding this time, which was obviously related to that incident.
"Jingran is getting married, for such a big event, why did the Xie family send two of you who are not worthy of the table!
"Where are the ladies of the Xie family? Where are the ladies of the Xie family?"
Lu Yao spoke without giving any face.
If the Xie family doesn't give face to Xie Jingran, she won't give face to the Xie family either.
The two old servants were furious when they heard this.
Although they are servants, they consider themselves to be honored servants of high-ranking officials in the capital.
Although Lu Yao was going to marry the son of the Xie family, she was still a village girl after all.
In addition, Xie Jingran was not favored, and the two old servants looked down on Lu Yao from the bottom of their hearts.
The old servant in charge actually raised his head and said proudly: "Look at what the young lady said, the ladies are all busy with official duties, how can they have time to come?"
Xie Erdie's trusted old servant also said disdainfully: "The journey is long and bumpy, and the young ladies have no leisure time either. The lessons in the Imperial College are very tight, and they can't be as free as the young lady."
Snapped!Snapped!
As soon as the two of them finished talking, they were each slapped in the face.
"How dare you! How dare you talk to our boss!"
The ones who beat people were Zhang Sanniang and Zhao Cuihua.
"If you dare to disrespect our boss, I'll beat you up!"
Putting aside Lu Yao's own worth, she was the future wife of the eldest son of the Xie family. The two servants actually spoke to her with such an attitude and tone, showing no respect for hierarchy at all.
"Good fight! The Xie family doesn't manage their household well, and the servants don't even look like servants anymore." Xie Jingran said coldly.
The attitude of a servant is the attitude of his master.
The two servants represent Second Father Xie and the Xie family behind them.
"Haha," Lu Yao laughed.
“I have read some picture books in the past, and in them there are always some mean servants who bully the young masters at home.
Seeing that the young master was out of favor, they stepped on him and helped bully him.
Why don’t you think about your own identity?
No matter how unfavored the young master is, he is still their master!
No matter how prestigious a slave is, he is still a slave!
If you can't figure out your position, you deserve to be beaten!"
Lu Yao looked at Xie Jingran and gave him a comforting look: "Jingran will always be your master, and he will also be the male master of my Lu family in the future.
When you go back, tell your wives and daughters that anyone who dares to bully him will be punished by me.
I don't mind giving the people in Beijing some topics to talk about after dinner or tea.
You have no family affection and don’t take Jingran seriously. I don’t!
If the Xie family doesn't give Jing Ran face, I'll do it! "
If you don't take me seriously and don't send me off to marry, so what?
Lu Yao has already arranged the right people, and on the wedding day, Xie Jingran will definitely have a grand wedding.
"Young Master, Young Master!" Mrs. Xie from the old house suddenly came running over in a hurry, bowed to Xie Jingran and Lu Yao in the room, and then said hurriedly:
"This is terrible! Someone is coming from the capital!"
