Chapter 439 Xie Ying's tears flowed from the corners of her mouth with excitement.
Xie Di naturally didn't know what Xie Ying was thinking. He was still staring at the grapes in Xie Tang's hand, and urged him anxiously: "Brother, wash them and eat them!"
Although he is still young, he has already remembered to wash grapes before eating them.
You even know how to urge people!
What a clever little brat!
Xie Tang rubbed his round head speechlessly: "You are the younger brother, don't you understand? You actually order your elder brother around!"
Although he said this, when he saw the maid bringing clean water, he still started to wash the grapes skillfully.
As soon as Xie Di saw him washing, he immediately rushed forward and said, "Brother, eat the fruit! Didi, eat it!"
After he said that, he immediately opened his little mouth wide, just like a baby bird waiting to be fed.
Xie Tang looked at his impatient expression and wordlessly took a grape to stuff into his mouth, but was snatched away by Xie Rou.
She washed her hands first, then carefully peeled the grape skin, broke open the round flesh, took out the grape seeds inside, and then put the flesh into Xie Di's mouth to prevent him from eating too fast and choking his trachea.
"You!" Xie Rou glared at Xie Tang helplessly, "How many times have I told you to be careful when feeding Di Ge'er? Di Ge'er is still young. You can't let him swallow it whole. Be careful not to get it stuck in his throat."
Xie Tang shrank his neck guiltily: "I know, I just didn't think of it just now."
After a pause, he couldn't help but defend himself, "Sister, you underestimate Di Ge'er. Look how smart he is. How could he be so stupid as to get his throat stuck?"
Xie Rou was so angry when she heard this that her eyebrows raised up. She tapped his forehead with her finger and said, "Di Ge'er is certainly not stupid, but you know how greedy he is. What if he eats too fast and gets his food stuck?
Luckily, these are just grapes, and the flesh is relatively soft. If it were lotus seeds or red dates, do you know how dangerous it would be? The red date pits are so sharp, if you accidentally swallowed them, you might even scratch your intestines!
When Xie Tang thought of the appearance of the red date pit, he instantly shrank his neck and dared not refute anymore.
To prove that he remembered it, he quickly peeled a grape, cracked the flesh like Xie Rou had just done, took out the grape seeds, and then fed the flesh to Xie Di.
Xie Di ate happily, his little eyes sparkling, and had no idea what his sister and brother were talking about.
Seeing that he was enjoying the food, Xie Ying couldn't help but wash her hands and took one to eat.
The skin of Kyoho grapes is dark purple. After washing with water, the grape skin is covered with a layer of water, which looks crystal clear and exceptionally beautiful.
After peeling it and putting it in your mouth, it tastes really good.
Well, the grapes she grows are indeed the most delicious!
The grapes from the Princess's Mansion are obviously inferior!
Xie Ying thought happily.
In fact, every time Xie Ying went to the Princess's Mansion, she would secretly stimulate the growth of grapes to avoid a big gap in the future.
But she doesn't go there every day, so the grapes that produce the most are still her own grapes.
The result is that her grapes produce more fruit and grow better.
As for those transplanted in the palace, she didn't care.
However, when Xie Tang entered the palace, Yang Tao often took her to see the grapes.
Since being raised by Concubine Jiang, Yang Tao has become more and more bold and lively.
Not only did he like to show off to Xie Tang about the beautiful grapes in the palace, he also asked Xie Tang about the Xie family's grapes.
Xie Tang was also a cunning person. He never said that his grapes grew better because he was afraid that people from the palace would come to steal them.
Anyway, Yang Tao couldn't leave the palace now, and Situ Yuan would help to conceal it, so he was not afraid of being exposed for lying at all.
He ate a few grapes, and suddenly seemed to think of something. He leaned in front of Xie Rou and asked mysteriously, "Sister, guess what I heard today?"
Xie Rou looked at him puzzledly: "What did you hear?"
After saying this, he frowned again and warned in a serious tone, "You must not listen to anything that happens in the palace, and you must not tell anyone about it."
Xie Tang curled her lips: "Don't worry, sister, I'm not stupid! His Highness told me this personally, I didn't overhear it!"
Xie Rou was now completely interested, not because she cared about the little prince in the palace, but because she guessed that the other party had specifically told Xie Tang, and Xie Tang was very happy when talking about this, so it must be something good.
She hurriedly urged: "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
Xie Tang immediately whispered mysteriously, "His Highness said that our father might be sent to Gusu!"
Xie Rou's eyes lit up. "Exiled to Gusu? Did His Highness say what position it would be?"
Xie Tang lowered his voice, looking even more mysterious. "His Highness said he's the prefect, a fifth-rank official. But it hasn't been finalized yet, so we should just keep it to ourselves and not tell anyone else."
Xie Rou was pleasantly surprised.
Previously, Xie Xiu passed the imperial examination and became an editor in the Hanlin Academy, a sixth-rank official.
Less than half a year had passed, and he had been promoted to the fifth-rank prefect. This promotion speed was not slow at all.
If this matter can be finalized, I don’t know how many people will be jealous when it gets out.
Moreover, my grandfather has now been appointed as a minor official, although only of the seventh rank. But if he can really cultivate sweet potatoes and potatoes and promote them to the whole world, it will be a great achievement.
Who knows, maybe my grandfather will be remembered in history for this incident!
The more Xie Rou thought about it, the more excited she became. However, she also realized she had been thinking too far ahead. So she quickly pulled her thoughts back and told Xie Tang, "Then don't tell anyone else about it. Be careful that someone might get jealous and try to trip you up."
Xie Tang snorted lightly: "Am I that stupid?"
At this time, Xie Di suddenly asked: "What is a prefect? Can it be eaten?"
Xie Tang and Xie Rou were stunned at first, then Xie Tang burst out laughing: "Hahahaha——"
He laughed and ruffled Xie Di's hair: "Silly Didi, the prefect is an official, you can't eat!"
Xie Di blinked blankly: "What is an official?"
"You'll know when you grow up."
Xie Tang said with a smile, picked up Xie Di and left.
This kid has already eaten several grapes, we can't let him eat any more.
Xie Di suddenly became anxious and kicked frantically in his arms: "Guoguo! Guoguo!"
Xie Tang tried hard to hold him in his arms, fearing that he would fall accidentally and hurt his little body.
He also kept winking at Xie Rou, signaling him to quickly hide the remaining grapes.
At the same time, in order to attract Xie Di's attention, he deliberately said: "Daddy is back? Does Di Ge'er miss Daddy? Brother Di, can I take Di Ge'er to find Daddy?"
But Xie Di is not so easy to fool.
"Daddy?"
He was stunned for a moment, then looked around and found that Xie Xiu was not there. He immediately said, "Eat the fruit! Didi, eat! Brother is bad!"
Xie Tang held him tightly in his arms and pinched his delicate face in frustration: "You're going to have a stomachache again! My stomach aches! There are worms!"
Xie Di stared at him blankly, and soon burst into tears. She hugged her stomach and said, "My stomach doesn't hurt, there are no bugs."
This time Xie Tang was frightened by him and hurried to comfort his brother.
On the other side, Xie Ying happily ate grapes and silently watched Xie Tang commit suicide.
She had actually hidden a seedling in the palaces of Emperor Taihe and Concubine Jiang, so she already knew about it when the two were discussing it.
Judging from the current situation, unless there are any accidents, their family will be able to go to Gusu to eat seafood soon.
Thinking of the taste of seafood, Xie Ying's tears flowed from the corners of her mouth with excitement.
