Chapter 260: Midwinter
Wang Ren's choice of a good place, immediately sent Xie Yuanmao far away, from now on, the south and the north, the last time I saw him on the New Year's Festival.
Because it is far away from home, and it is not a rich land of fish and rice like Lianghuai in the south of the Yangtze River, Xie Yuanmao was dumbfounded, and was secretly annoyed, thinking that it was really better to stay in Beijing and live a good life. He is ambitious, but he does not want to live a hard life.
But the appointment has already come down, and he, as a courtier, naturally has only the share to receive.
Time was a little short, so he could only hurry up and pack his things and prepare to set off for Huizhou.
Officials who are released can bring their families with them, but firstly, Xie Yi and several of them have schoolwork, and secondly, they are getting older, and it is no good to stay in Huizhou, of course, it is impossible to follow him to take office. Huizhou is not more comfortable and comfortable than Kyoto, Xie Shuning is getting older, and it is time to say goodbye slowly, and it is right to stay in Kyoto.
In this way, it is inconvenient for the Song family to follow him to the post.
Xie Yuanmao mentioned it slightly, and the Song family said, just find a beautiful concubine to follow him. There is someone by his side to take care of him, and it is appropriate to know the cold and the heat.
In a small place in Huizhou, there are not many people who need to come and go, if they really need their family members to come forward, the concubine will do it for her, and she will be happy to see it.
When Xie Yuanmao heard the news, he couldn't say a word.
With such a virtuous and generous main room, what else could he say.
But who exactly will be taken with him has not yet been decided. The Song family looked laissez-faire, and only said, "The sixth master sees which one is good, so take which one with him." ”
The colors of the few in the house are still fresh. On weekdays, I don't like to make trouble, so it doesn't matter which one you take with you, the Song family doesn't care.
Xie Yuanmao thought about it instead. I can't make up my mind.
Several aunts, when they heard about this, some of them were moved to follow, and some felt that they were in office and did not want to be picked.
Xie Yuanmao thought about it again and again, but still put this matter aside first, and asked the Song family to hurry up and pack his bags first. He went to the longhouse and told the two elders about it. The old lady of the long house heard that he was going to Huizhou. His expression was slightly worried, and he sighed twice while twisting the Buddha beads. The old man of the long house has become more and more careless in recent years, and he looks like a fairy wind and bones. Writing and painting in the study every day, Zhilu said that Xie Yuanmao would soon leave Beijing to take up his post, so he went out of the door of the study and asked a few words carefully.
Huizhou is bitter. The old man thought it was good.
"It's outgoing. Naturally, we have to make some achievements so that we can be transferred back to Beijing as soon as possible. The old man stroked his long beard, "The more places like this, the easier it is to make achievements." ”
What he likes is just the way of an official.
Xie Yuanmao agreed, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, feeling unlucky.
happened to come over with a cold face, and immediately opened his mouth and stabbed him a few words: "Fortunately, it is not the land of the Southern Barbarians." The original closure is not mentioned, and it is even more miasma. The sixth brother went, I was afraid that my body would not be able to bear it. ”
The implication is that you deliberately pretended to be sick in front of Lao Tzu, why didn't you get you to the miasma Nanban to endure hardships.
Xie Yuanmao heard more meaning from this sentence, and his face changed slightly.
He felt strange, so dignified, his position did not move early or late, and the partial life moved at this time. And on the surface, it is a promotion, but in fact it is no different from a derogatory, no matter how you look at it, it is not right. But if Third Master Xie made a move inside, things would immediately become clear.
Xie Yuanmao's face darkened, and he didn't want to deal with Third Master Xie: "Thank you Third Brother for your concern." ”
In front of my parents, there are some things that I can't talk about.
After Xie Sanye finished stabbing with his words, he laughed, and walked past him to talk to the old lady.
Out of the plum blossom dock and walking on the verandah, Xie Yuanmao suddenly felt a little chill on his body and sneezed heavily.
He secretly scolded, it must be the stupid man of the third brother who gave me a chop behind my back!
Thinking like this, he was almost so angry that his hair stood on end.
Back in the third room, he walked quickly to the Jade Tea Courtyard, but saw that the Song family was asking people to pack up his things, and heard the Song family indifferently instruct his subordinates: "Pack up all the things that the sixth master is used to, and bring them with you, you don't have to stay in the mansion." ”
Xie Yuanmao listened, and a breath of resentment accumulated in his heart, and he immediately didn't even want to step into the door, so he turned his head and left.
In fact, it is said that the time is urgent, but where is it really urgent, but it just happens that the year is approaching, and many things are piled together, so it seems to be busy.
In the end, he had to wait until the end of the New Year before he could set off.
That's more or less, and there's still a month.
Xie Yuanmao felt worried when he saw that the Song family looked like he was eager to send him away immediately.
He turned around and went to the Begonia Courtyard, where he saw Chen, who was making soup in the kitchen, all of which were his favorite food.
Speaking of the Song family, they are generous and never treat the people under them harshly in trivial matters, Xie Yuanmao's aunts, each has their own yard to live in, not to mention the routine maids and mothers-in-law, and there is also a small kitchen in the yard.
Xie Yuanmao is used to seeing it, but he doesn't think that the Song family treats people generously, and now he sees the Chen family making soup with his own hands, and he feels that the Chen family is much more intimate than the Song family.
He couldn't help but stand against the door, feeling the virtuous and virtuous virtue of the Chen family......
As he spoke, a sense of remorse gradually welled up in his heart.
If it was back then...... If the person who stayed in the Jade Tea Courtyard back then, it was the Chen family...... Could it be completely different now?
Today, many years have passed, and he feels that Song's ability to sit in the position of his wife is all due to his credit and efforts.
Seeing that the Song family always ignored his love, and recently he has spoken ill of him and ridiculed constantly, he felt that he had no eyes, or the years were like knives, and all the beautiful scenery of the good days was cut to pieces.
Chen was complimented, became more and more gentle and gentle, served him soup, and smiled for him to taste.
Xie Yuanmao lowered his head and took a bite, the taste was actually mediocre, but looking at Chen's face, he couldn't help but say: "The craftsmanship is very good, and the taste is excellent." ”
Chen smiled softly, washed away the lead and looked plain, probably referring to her current appearance.
In the evening, Xie Yuanmao went to tell the Song family. He decided on the candidate, and took Chen away.
The Song family is dispensable, and the head of the chin agrees. And I don't say anything.
Xie Yuanmao was ruthless when he saw this, and he slept beside Chen's side at night, thinking that he should really ask Chen's to give birth to a son, so that Song's anger would be sad and sad.
Besides, his heirs are thin, and it is a good thing that he can have a few more concubines.
The thought moved. I couldn't hold back any longer.
Chen vaguely guessed, and couldn't help but be triumphant and endure it. The posture was still low, which made Xie Yuanmao feel pity, and pushed all the things that the Chen family had done back then on the deceased three old ladies, thinking that everything was the fault of the three old ladies. It has nothing to do with the Chen family at all.
The Song family was so busy every day that his feet didn't touch the ground. I didn't bother with them.
Xie Shuning couldn't help but look at these changes in the house as a joke, and really felt that the Chen family was ridiculous and pathetic.
In the middle of winter, in order to pretend to be pitiful, she didn't even wear thicker winter clothes, so that Xie Yuanmao still stared at Song and came to Song, blaming her for treating Chen badly on these trivial matters, so angry that Song turned around and asked people to go to Haitang Courtyard to really take Chen's winter clothes away.
If you don't like to wear it, you just don't wear it!
Xie Yuanmao didn't expect the Song family to be so strong. Stunned.
That night, Chan started to have a fever. Shouting that his head was heavy, his limbs were cold, and he couldn't even get out of bed.
When the illness was cured, the Chen family didn't dare to make any more tricks, except for continuing to work hard to slap Xie Yuanmao, but the moths next to him were all gone.
***
On the day of Laba, Laba porridge was boiled in the house and sent all the way to the outside of the city to give porridge to beggars.
The Xie family has had a lot of things happen in recent days, and the older the old lady gets, the more superstitious she becomes, and she feels that she should do something good to accumulate virtue, so she has already instructed this matter.
The eldest lady was reluctant to pay, and for a few days in a row, white rice and candied dried fruits, which were not silver, she came to find the Song family.
It sounds good on the lips, this is a great thing to accumulate yin virtue, but in my heart, I just want the Song family to be the one who is wronged and give money.
Song did not hesitate, although he knew the eldest wife's thoughts, but he agreed to the matter without thinking about it.
There is no shortage of these silver on the left and right, and it is good to do good deeds and accumulate virtue.
Shu Yan accidentally learned that he felt fresh and had to pay for it.
Song couldn't stop it, so he had to accept his money with a smile and buy rice and noodles together.
Although it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the colder the weather, the more desolate the life of the exiled people becomes, starving to death and freezing to death.
Shu Yan turned his head and came to Xie Shuning again, instigating her to come out with the silver as well.
Xie Shuning couldn't afford to provoke him, so he simply proposed that this kind of thing can't be done every day, and there may be some people who are in good health with both hands and feet, but want to get something for nothing, it is better to take a sum of money to build a good hall to take in orphans who have no father and mother.
This incident was a thought she had after she knew about Second Master Xie's behavior.
Now that there are mountains of gold and silver in your hands, it's time to do it.
Shu Yan stroked her and praised her, thinking that this proposal was very good, so the two of them partnered to pool money and let the winter solstice do it.
Dong Solstice himself was also an orphan, and after knowing their idea, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the two of them to thank them.
Turan is also very concerned about this matter, she has never seen her parents since she was a child, and she has suffered a lot, and she thinks that Shantang's idea is no better.
After going back and forth, this matter was told by Tulan to Jixiang Zhilu, and Jixiang told Yan Huai.
Yan Huai also wanted to get together.
Xie Shuning was not short of money, but she also happily agreed.
In the previous cleanup of Xie Sanye's matter, Yan Huai also contributed.
The relationship between the two has finally eased somewhat.
Everyone was busy, and the Song family couldn't hide it, but she couldn't stop such a good deed, but she even helped them plan together.
The Spring Festival is in the busy, silently coming.
Because Xie Yuanmao was about to set off after fifteen, this year barely passed peacefully.
Fifteen years later, Xie Yuanmao left Beijing with Chen.
Xie Yi and Xie Chen, preparing to try it this year, both buried their heads in studying hard, and rarely went out on weekdays.
On the side of Shantang, it was basically implemented and began to repair the house.
Shu Yan was full of interest, and took Xie Shuning out to see it in person, thinking that he had nothing to do, so he invited the Song family to go with him.
After all, older people always know more than them.
Xie Shuning sat in the carriage in a fox fur, and couldn't help but think that she was much older than her mother. (To be continued......)
