Chapter 128: Persuasion
Xie Pu invited Master Wuyin to diagnose Mrs. Xie's pulse.
Although Master Wuyin often deals with the ladies of high-ranking officials and nobles, people are still quite discerning, but when Mrs. Xie came to him, he never hinted at anything, and the two sides did not have any collusion; Second, the current situation of the Xie family, Master Wuyin has also heard about it, he is not a powerful family, and he can't be wronged to accommodate others, so the monks don't talk about it, and they have something to say.
He directly told Xie Pu that Mrs. Xie has been replenishing her feet for many years, and there is no shortage of imperial doctors and famous doctors to recuperate, and her body is generally quite healthy, and some minor problems such as rheumatism and qi deficiency are not serious. However, when people are old and a little chubby, they should still move more, don't always sit and lie down in the house, and just blindly take supplements. It can be made up, and it is not good for the body.
As for the reason why Old Lady Xie fainted, Master Wuyin did not diagnose it. He almost didn't make it clear that Mrs. Xie didn't faint right now, but was just "closing her eyes and recuperating".
Hearing what he said, it was unknown what Xie Pu thought, and Mrs. Xie had already gritted her teeth countless times in her heart.
She couldn't understand why the Causeless Master, who had always been very clever and discerning, suddenly became stupid and dull today? She was obviously pretending to be dizzy, couldn't he pretend to be blind again? Not to mention that he is a monk doctor, whether it is the imperial doctor invited by the Xie family in the past, or an ordinary doctor, when he sees her fainting, he will cooperate and say something vague, and he will never expose her in person!
In fact, Master Wuyin was already very face-saving, and he kept pretending not to see the changes in the demeanor on Old Lady Xie's eyes closed. Mrs. Xie didn't realize that she had exposed her stuffing, but the others were not blind.
Master Wuyin finally came to a vague conclusion, saying that Mrs. Xie would faint, probably because of a moment of "anger and attack".
Xie Pu also accepted this conclusion smoothly, sighed and said that he was framed and imprisoned, his wife Cao suddenly proposed to make peace, and took away most of the property of the Xie family, and the Mongolian relatives and friends rescued him, and he finally got out of trouble, but the property could not be returned, and the ex-wife refused to return the children, and the old lady couldn't stand the blow, so she fainted angrily.
The powerful are powerful, and although he is angry, he can't do anything about it.
Master Wuyin said a few words of Buddha in a vague manner, persuaded Xie Pu to look away, and asked him to persuade the old lady Xie to look away, and then went to prescribe the prescription.
Of course, it is a Taiping, whether Mrs. Xie eats it or not, it is not harmful to her body.
Master Wuyin didn't say much, but the two little novices who followed him as medicine servants showed curious gossip in their eyes.
Cheng'en Temple, a large temple that often has the female relatives of the official eunuchs coming and going, and all kinds of gossip in the city are also a big source of extra money for the monks. The new abbot Master Wuxu is stricter in managing the rules, but he will not prohibit the monks in the temple from using some small means to earn money for sesame oil, as long as they don't explicitly name and offend the relevant parties. There are so many temples in the city, and Cheng'en Temple also needs a little character to attract many believers.
As for how long it took Mrs. Xie to "wake up" after Master Wuyuan left, how she refused to take medicine, how she pretended to be sick and fainted, and forced her son Xie Pu to let go and give in, this is all a later story.
The official ladies who came to Cheng'en Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha heard from the monks in the temple about the grievances and entanglements between the Xie Cao family. Such as the mystery of the whereabouts of the Xie family's property, the truth of the Cao family's scandal, and the reason why the Cao family suddenly attacked his sister-in-law...... And so on and so forth, these are all hot topics in the city nowadays. The wives and grandmothers are curious.
As a result, the ladies of these middle-level official eunuchs knew that after Xie Pu was framed, the Cao family failed to share weal and woe, but instead fell into the well and asked for peace, and also swept away most of the Xie family's property; When Xie Pu was acquitted, she refused to return, refused to return her property, and even detained her two children and prevented them from seeing their father. The scandal between her and Fang Wenshan is not known to be true or false, but what she has done, where is it like a good woman who is loyal, virtuous, and loving?
Cao's actions are in conflict with the moral concepts that the ladies have always believed. Cao's previous "virtuous name" suddenly became a joke, as if a completely immoral woman, relying on the power of her mother's family, forced gold on her face to deceive the world, but finally revealed her true face.
The female dependents of the middle-level official eunuchs naturally did not dare to accuse the female dependents of the powerful families in person, but this did not prevent them from chewing their tongues in private. Before the Cao family was aware of it, the reputation of the Cao family slowly became smelly in the circle of officials in the capital. People began to be ashamed to be with her, and when they saw her, they also stayed away, and they didn't even bother to mention it behind their backs. The Cao family is not the only one Cao family, and if people want to tie the knot, they can't afford to tie up a notorious married daughter. What if you get close to her and affect your good reputation?
Cao didn't know that his reputation was getting worse and worse, and Xie Pu gradually lost patience in the face of his mother, Mrs. Xie. He didn't understand what his mother was messing with. Would she rather stay in the capital and face the difficulties that the Cao family might make at any time than go back to her hometown?
The Xie family's property is not something he can get back if he wants to come back. Old Mrs. Xie knows best how powerful the Cao family is, so why persecute her powerless son?
Xie Pu had a headache for his mother, but he never had the idea of changing his mind from beginning to end, and still firmly told Xie Zeshan that he would definitely send his family back to his hometown.
Xie Zeshan persuaded him not to force it: "Your mother is also old, if she is really not used to life in Huyin County, it is useless for you to force her." It's just that if they want to study with peace of mind in the future, it will not be possible to stay in Beijing, so they should be sent back. I have already discussed with your second aunt, and when they return to their hometown, as long as they are in good health, they can immediately enter the academy to study. Zhushan Academy now has a few great Confucians, who are very famous in Jiangnan, and if the children of other families want to study, the academy may not accept it. ”
Xie Pu nodded: "As soon as the appointment documents of the Ministry of Officials arrive, my nephew will send his family back." When the time comes, I will ask my uncle to take care of me. ”
Xie Zeshan asked him again: "Su Min is now your only wife, don't you plan to take her with you when you take office?" It's not me talking about you, you have been separated from her husband and wife for many years, and you finally have no one else to hinder you, and you should have a good reunion. She has suffered a lot under your mother and the Cao family over the years, and you should make up for it. ”
Xie Pu sighed: "Why doesn't my nephew want to be together for a long time? But the nephew was released this time, and it was impossible to get any fat shortage. Mother will not suffer with her, if Su Min follows her nephew to take office, what should the old and young in the family do? The nephew had to leave her to take care of the whole family. However, this time the nephew did not plan to take his daughter, as long as a few capable and reliable subordinates were served. ”
Xie Zeshan shook his head when he heard this: "The children in your family, with me and your eldest aunt and second aunt, are you still afraid that no one will take care of them?" It's just your mother...... Well, she won't live with us, and we don't want to look at her face anymore. You don't have to persuade much, in my opinion, Su Min should take the children back to her hometown to honor and honor your second aunt. If your mother really wants to stay in Beijing, let her go, leave a concubine to take care of her, and a few reliable subordinates will be enough. When she suffers a loss, she will know the benefits of returning to her hometown, and she will naturally not make any more trouble at that time. ”
Xie Pu hesitated. Is this the only way he can do it? But his mother resolutely refused to return to his hometown, so he couldn't kidnap people and send them back, right? That would be too unfilial.
He really wants to ...... Take the risk of your mother being embarrassed by the Cao family?
