25. Chapter 25
The old lady was sick, and Sherman spent his days searching for death and life.
Xie Yun wanted to take care of his sister, but the old lady was going to fight with him immediately, and at this time, his brother was going to run out, saying that he didn't care about his mother's body. Xie Yun is one head and two big, and he, the newly promoted grandfather of the country, deserves no meaning at all.
Chen couldn't stand it, so he had to hold the child and cry.
On this day, I finally discussed with my husband and wanted to take the child to Yuezhou to hide according to the original plan.
"We have already decided, and what should be prepared has also been prepared, and Zhuangzi over there in Yuezhou has already sent someone to clean it up. I took the spirit bead and stayed for a while, and when my sister's anger was gone, it was not necessary to come back. โ
I made this decision before, originally to prevent the gossip outside from hurting people, but I didn't think that in the end, I was forced by my own family to make the trip.
Xie Yun thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed with her suggestion: "Tomorrow morning, I'll go and talk to my mother, I'm just wronging you." โ
"Those who are wronged or not have been wronged have long been accustomed to it over the years."
It was not easy for her to get the housekeeping right because of her father-in-law's funeral, and this time she left, I am afraid that she will be in the soup again.
But it's nothing, who doesn't come over like this when you're a daughter-in-law.
Fortunately, her husband is in the filial piety period, and the old lady does not dare to stuff people in her husband's house, otherwise her life may be even more difficult.
After the husband and wife had discussed it, they told the old lady what they meant early in the morning, while they were having breakfast.
"Although it has been autumn, the weather has been too hot recently, and Lingzhu has hot prickly heat on her body. I thought that it would be better to go to Zhuangzi and stay for a while, and then come back when the weather is cooler. โ
Chen blamed all the reasons on the child, and it sounded good to say.
Sun and the others naturally knew what it meant in their hearts, she wanted to save face for Xie Man!
The old lady was silent for a long time, and was about to agree, but saw the third old lady speak.
The third old lady has always been a cold-faced knife-mouthed, and she never takes into account the mood of others when she speaks, but at this time, in front of everyone, she actually directly picked out her words.
She glanced at Chen, who had a supple look, and said, "The eldest daughter-in-law is not right, you are a mother, and you should worry about your children's bodies." But don't forget, you are the wife of the Xie family, and now you are the duchess of the country, at this time, where does the family not need you? Moreover, now that your old lady is still there, if you are lazy to go out to enjoy leisure at this time, and spread it, you will not be filial and virtuous. โ
"Three old ladies!" When Chen heard that the third old lady had buttoned an unfilial hat on her head, she immediately cried.
The third old lady waved her hand and said, "I know what you're thinking, these days, the man girl is making a lot of trouble!" โ
As soon as the old lady heard her say that her daughter was not, her face immediately sank.
saw that she was still continuing: "I have also heard about the Song family's withdrawal from relatives, but does this matter have to be turned upside down like this?" Now that she is not in front of me, although I am the aunt in the next room, I can still say some things! Old sister-in-law, it's not me who said, your daughter is too unseemly to be raised! Miss me Xie family's daughter, which one is not gold? Even if others beg to come to the door, they should be picky and take a full posture. Our girl, but the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, what is the Song family in terms of family background and qualifications? The dissolution of the marriage contract with them is a happy event, how can it be a storm? Is it difficult, or can't my Xie family girl get married? โ
"The third brother and sister don't know, Man'er is weak and has been raised more delicately, so it is inevitable that she will ......be small-hearted," the old lady had a calm face, still defending her daughter.
The third old lady said: "Today, I should let her listen to what I said, and don't stop the daughters-in-law from talking to her, old lady." She is the daughter of the Xie family, and every move is related to the face of our Xie family. Don't forget, she is not the only girl surnamed Xie in this house! She is so troublesome, she can't get along with her niece, and her little niece can't see anyone, and her own reputation is good? To put it mildly, it is the daughter of the Xie family who goes back and forth, and it is really rare to make the house restless because of such a trivial matter. Three years of filial piety, not long, not short, everyone is good, she has a reputation as a filial daughter, just by virtue of her family background, why worry about not being a good parent? If you make too much trouble, you will be the one who will hurt you in the end. โ
Just as he was saying this, Xie Man actually came.
Probably heard the third old lady talking about her, she immediately rushed over, just outside the door I heard the other party is picking on her is not, as soon as she entered the door, she stared at the third old lady deeply, and said: "Who doesn't know that you will be biased towards your sister-in-law as soon as you come, what benefits did she give you?" Didn't you just watch your eldest brother attack the knight? actually arranged me like this for her, and since she couldn't get used to me being a little family, then I would die. โ
Sherman cried, and he was about to hit his head against the pillar again.
Fortunately, there has been a lot of trouble recently, and the people around me have been prepared and immediately stopped them.
Hexiyuan heard the movement, and the second master Xie Yiqing and Xie Han, who came to mourn from the main branch, also rushed over immediately.
Finally calmed Xie Man and sent him back, and the hall suddenly fell silent, and no one dared to speak anymore.
"Hey! Home and everything is prosperous, they are all a family, why make such a fuss? Man girl is a female doll, this kind of thing happened, she was bitter in her heart, just venting and venting, why do you say it so harshly! โ
"Humph! I'm just not worth it for her. โ
"Alright, stop talking." Xie Yiqing stopped her, turned to the old lady and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be surprised, the third brother and sister don't have any bad intentions, she is also for the good of the Xie family." It's just that she doesn't speak well, so don't take it to heart. โ
Compared with the three old ladies who will not leave any room for people, Xie Yiqing will listen to a lot when he speaks.
When Xie Jingting died, the third old lady wrote a letter to her family, originally wanting to invite her uncle over. However, after thinking about it over there, he finally sent the second master Xie Yiqing to come, just because he had a sweet mouth and could speak.
Sure enough, the old lady was quickly appeased by him, she sighed and said, "Let you see the joke, my son's life is miserable, so I am reluctant to be too strict with her, hey! โ
"It's all a family, what jokes are not jokes, besides, as parents, whose heart is not the same!" Xie Yiqing also sighed and said, "However, it is not a way to go on like this, I think about it, and the idea of your eldest daughter-in-law is not impossible." But as a clan wife, it is really difficult for her to leave home, and we have to go back to Nanling, so it is better to let the six girls go with us, and when the weather is good in a few days, we will send it back in person. โ
The third old lady and Xie Yiqing have a โกโก face and a white face, so they are waiting here!
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't know how to answer.
Chen was reluctant in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Lingzhu is still young, where can I leave my mother?" โ
Xie Yiqing didn't speak, but Xie Han whispered: "Auntie, the second grandfather is just a builder." Recently, everyone hasn't gone out much, maybe you don't know, I heard about the river corruption case, and it has been tried. โ
The river corruption case took more than a year, and Chen's maiden father and brother were implicated, and at this time, it was indeed difficult for her to dodge.
As soon as she went to Zhuangzi, some people would say that she didn't miss her mother's family and was bent on picking herself out. Second, the Xie family is not easy to make people think that something happened to the Chen family, and the Chen family was expelled by the Xie family to Zhuangzi to fend for themselves.
The old lady values her reputation, so naturally she will not let the Xie family fall into this truth, and she will definitely not let her leave Yingguo Mansion.
As soon as Chen heard that something was going on in his mother's family, his heart immediately went up and down, and he couldn't think of a good way to go where his daughter went.
She had no idea, so she had to ask her husband for help, Xie Yun thought about it for a while and said, "Let's discuss this matter." โ
"It's fine."
Xie Yiqing and the others left first, and the third old lady sat for a while, then got up to say goodbye and returned to the courtyard by herself.
As soon as the guests left, the old lady no longer wanted to deal with her sons and daughters-in-law, so she waved them all away.
The Chen couple returned to Zihu Courtyard and sat in the room in a daze.
It turned out that the old man was okay, and someone could talk and count.
Now that he is an elder brother, he has become the head of the family, but this family can't be up.
Because the old lady was biased towards the second room, holding her little sister, and didn't care about her eldest son, he couldn't do anything at all in many things. Don't talk about reasoning, I am a son, where do I dare to tell my elders any reason, Xie Yun was so sad that she wanted to grab her hair.
"If you didn't act rashly back then, you don't have to ...... now Ay! โ
He really regretted that he didn't listen to his father, if it weren't for his younger brother being an official, he hid at home all day long, and didn't establish his prestige, he wouldn't have made such a fuss. But he wasn't to blame for that, after all, he didn't expect his father to go so early.
"But what's going on right now?" The Chen family was very sad, her daughter was still young, and she had to be taken to Nanling so far away, how could she rest assured?
Xie Yun thought about it, but she couldn't help it, looking at the old lady's attitude, she really wanted her daughter to go out and hide first, so as to make room for her sister.
The husband and wife were worried in the house, and Xie Lingjiao, who heard what had happened, thought about it and ordered someone to go to Zihu Courtyard to invite his parents over.
Xie Yun and Chen heard that their son was invited, thinking that he was uncomfortable again, and they couldn't worry about it, so they hurriedly rushed over.
After seeing Xie Lingjiao, he found that the person was leaning on the couch, and he didn't call the doctor.
Chen asked anxiously: "Where is it uncomfortable?" Why hasn't the doctor come here yet? โ
Xie Lingjiao waved his hand and said, "Mother doesn't have to worry, my son is not uncomfortable, but I heard about the three old ladies and their mention, and after thinking about it, I will tell you about it." My sister is still young, and we can't let her go to Nanling alone. But my aunt is like that...... It's really not good to keep making trouble at home. I thought about it, it was better to let my mother serve my grandmother at home, and my father and I would take my sister to Zhuangzi. โ
"You mean ......"
"Nanling, I'm afraid I want to rob my sister. Although we have the same surname Xie, we have been branching for many years, and the two families can't be separated from each other, and my sister is determined not to let them snatch it. But there are too many of these things at home, so it's better to hide. Anyway, I thought about it, now our family is keeping filial piety, and there will be no big things in the family, and my mother is not good to leave home because of my grandfather's affairs, so it's better to go to my father, and after a while, my father and sister will come back. I have been in this house for many years, and I have long been tired of it, and I just happened to go to Zhuangzi to relax. โ
It stands to reason that Xie Yun, as the head of the family, should not leave the house.
But with the old lady here, it is not his turn to be the master of the house in this family at all, he is not there, to be honest, there is no difference at all.
Chen also thought of this, and understood her son's thoughts even more, she immediately cried uncomfortably: "Your body is not good, you really shouldn't be tired, let alone stay outside alone, why are you so ruthless......
Xie Lingjiao really wants to go out, I'm afraid he will never come back.
Xie Lingjiao shook his head with a smile and said, "I naturally know this, but if I don't go, what reason will my father use to go out?" In the end, he is the head of the family, and he inexplicably took his sister to live in Zhuangzi, which is very unsightly. Unless it has something to do with me, I just said that I found a famous doctor outside and wanted to take me to the doctor for treatment, and by the way, I took my sister to see it, so it was easy to talk. โ
Of course, in the end, he said that the man couldn't cure his illness, so he went directly, or said that he was already well, but he didn't want to go home, and he could follow the divine doctor.
Xie Lingjiao's arrangement is actually a lot of thoughts.
His body has been sick and weak for many years, and he is already supporting his life, if he stays with his sister, he will die one day, and his sister's name as a disaster star may be even more solid.
After all, the family is safe for the father, but it is just a waste of words to convince the old lady.
It's just that the hearts of the parents, where are Xie Yun and the Chen family willing to let them go, and they are waiting for death in Zhuangzi alone.
Xie Lingjiao was resolute, he said: "Father, mother, for a son, it makes no difference whether he is waiting for death at home or outside. Besides, my son has been in the cage of Yingguo Mansion for so many years, and he is really annoyed, I want to go out for a walk and take a look, can't you even satisfy this wish? โ
As soon as he said this, what else could Xie Yun say?
The husband and wife had no choice but to red-eyed and agreed.
Originally, they were worried that the old lady would not agree with Xie Yun's Li family, and they prepared a lot of rhetoric, but they really thought about this too much, and the old lady didn't mention more comfort when she heard that her eldest son was going out.
The eldest son is not there, no one will hinder her eyes, and there is a second son by her side who is filial, where will she be reluctant to him?
However, the third old lady and Xie Yiqing did not disagree, but said: "You are the head of the family, it is not appropriate to leave home rashly like this, and the second brother's health is not good, and it will be tiring all the way...... As for the famous doctor, why don't you invite him to Beijing to treat the second brother? โ
"Miracle doctors have the temper of miracle doctors, not to mention that I also want to take the opportunity to go out for a walk."
Xie Lingjiao had made up his mind, and others couldn't say anything.
The old lady asked, "Have you really decided?" โ
"That's nature."
So a few days later, the Xie family and his party went out in a carriage and a group of servants.
On the carriage, Xie Lingjiao looked at his sister who was looking around and whispered, "Sister, don't be reluctant, you will be back soon." โ
It's a pity that he didn't expect that they would stay outside for many years when they left.
