Chapter 127: Sickness
After Xie Pu took a nap, he went to ask Mrs. Xie for peace. Mrs. Xie was also pleasantly surprised to see her son appear in front of her safely.
Of course, she still had to lose her temper and blame Wen and her grandchildren for not reporting the good news to her in time.
However, she didn't scold a few more words, and her attention was attracted by what Xie Pu said.
Xie Pu attributed all the credit for his rescue this time to his eldest uncle Xie Zeshan and his mother Song, as well as the protégé of the Song family.
He told his mother how dangerous he was in the first place, how the Cao family wanted to put him to death, how Fang Wenshan couldn't allow him to live in the world, and how the Pingnan Bofu was insidious and vicious, bent on stealing their Xie family's property. If it weren't for the action of his heir mother Song, and his uncle Xie Zeshan worked hard to get the help of his late father Song Saijiu's old friend and protégé before his death, he would have been unjustly killed, and his family would have been degraded and exiled, and he would never have a good life.
Therefore, Xie Pu begged his mother, for his sake, for the sake of Zongfang and Erfang's great kindness to him, and to take advantage of this great opportunity to reach a reconciliation with Zongfang and Erfang. As long as Mrs. Xie apologizes and sincerely admits her mistakes, with the magnanimity of the elders of the sect and the second room, she will never care about what she did in the past.
Moreover, this time, Xie Pu offended the Cao family, and even if he can continue to be an official in the future, he will not escape the hostility and calculation of the Cao family. In order to avoid risks, it is better for him to continue to serve abroad than to stay in the capital as an official. Then, if his mother's family stays in the capital, it will be easy for the Cao family to be used as a target.
In order to keep his mother, wife and children safe, he wanted to send his family back to his hometown in Huyin. With the support of the clansmen, there are also houses and fields to make a living, even if the industry is taken away by the Cao family, they can also have food and clothing without worry, and the sons can also go to Zhushan Academy to study, and when they have something to learn, they will directly take the county test in Huyin.
Perfect!
However, Mrs. Xie did not think that this arrangement was perfect at all. Of course she was happy that her son was back. But the property can't come back, she still has to bow to the sect room and the second room, and even have to live by relying on the Song family's snort?
Joke!
She would never say yes!
Since the protégés of the Song family are so powerful, they can carry the Cao family and save Xie Pu, why can't they bring back the Xie family's property? Those things are obviously Xie Pu's, and the Cao family forced him and deceived him to hand them over. Since Xie Pu is safe and clear, the government should return the stolen property, why should the Cao family still occupy things? !
The Song family divided half of her son, her son was going to inherit Xie Zechuan's incense, and the Song family saved people, isn't that a matter of course? As the head of a sect, Xie Zeshan should also contribute to the most promising junior in the family. They rescued Xie Pu, it was what they should do, what credit is it? Do you want her to apologize? She just sold the property in the name of the third house back then, and she was right!
Xie Pu stood in front of Mrs. Xie safely, and Mrs. Xie knew that there was no big risk to her family in the future, so she did it again. She refused to listen to her son's persuasion, Xie Pu refused to stop, so she simply rolled her eyes, and once again offered a "faint" trick, and before she "fainted", she had to scream: "I'm angry!" I'm sick! Then he fell down on the bed of the arhat and did not move.
In the past, when she called like this, Xie Pu would definitely panic, hurriedly moved her back to the bedroom, and asked the doctor to come to diagnose the pulse and grab the medicine. When she woke up, no matter what she asked, Xie Pu would most likely agree. She tried several times, and seven or eight out of ten times it worked. That is, in the past ten years, Xie Pu has not been at home much, and she has used this trick less often. If it was when Xie Pu was a teenager, it would be a dizziness, and the son would never have any resistance and doubts about his mother!
However, after Mrs. Xie "fainted" today, whether it was Xie Pu in front of her, or Xie Yingrong, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, they were not half panicked.
Both of them knew very well that the old lady was just pretending, and her old man was tough.
Xie Yingrong pursed his lips secretly, but he still had to squeeze out two tears, pretending to be flustered, ran in from outside the door, and threw himself on the side of Luohan's bed and cried: "Old lady, old lady, what's wrong with you?" He asked Xie Pu again, "Father, how could the old lady faint?" Is it the old disease again? Let's get a doctor! ”
Xie Pu glanced at his mother deeply and sighed: "Good boy, don't panic. Is you a more powerful servant in the courtyard? Call someone in and carry the old lady into the house. I went to Cheng'en Temple and asked Master Wuyin to come and have a look. ”
Master Wuyin is an old monk doctor in Cheng'en Temple, who is very skilled in medicine and is good at acupuncture. In the past, when the Xie family was in the limelight, Mrs. Xie had heard him talk about the way of health preservation with several old feudal monarchs, and watched him administer needles to an old lady, and the effect was good, so she still trusted his medical skills. The neighborhood around this house is two streets away from the nearest medical center, and the doctor's medical skills may not be as good as that of the Master of Causelessness. If you want to ask for a doctor, you might as well go directly to Cheng'en Temple.
Xie Pu went to see a doctor by himself, and Xie Yingrong had to call a mother-in-law to hug someone. This mother-in-law who has just been hired from the tooth shop is a good hand at housework, but she can't serve people like the servants who are waiting close at the door of the house, and when she picks up Mrs. Xie and moves it to the bedroom, she is very careless, and if she is not careful, she will make Mrs. Xie bump into sundries such as tables, chairs, cabinets, etc., so painful that Mrs. Xie couldn't hold back for a while, screamed, opened her eyes, and began to scold: "Don't you have long eyes?!" Are you saving people, or are you going to kill someone?! ”
Xie Ying held back a smile and continued to pretend to be worried: "Old lady? Are you alright? Then I noticed that a bruise appeared on one of Mrs. Xie's ankles, and the back of her head was also knocked out.
The mother-in-law only made amends, and immediately knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, but forgot that she was still holding someone in her hand, and almost didn't drop Mrs. Xie, which provoked the latter to scold again.
Xie Yingrong said something badly, so she commanded her mother-in-law to send Mrs. Xie into the bedroom and put her on the bed. Mrs. Xie rubbed her head, supported her waist, pinched her feet, exhaled pain again, and scolded people.
The woman was so scolded by her that she didn't dare to raise her head, so she ran out with her neck bent, and when she met another companion in the yard, she couldn't help but say aggrievedly: "The old woman is obviously not sick, but she pretends to be sick to scare people." Even if you do bump into it, you can't blame me, right? She can walk on her own, but she has to hug me, and it's so heavy, I almost didn't hug someone, so I accidentally bumped it. Even if she wants to pretend in front of her son, and her son is not here, what else is there to pretend? Instead, they scolded me. I'm not a slave she bought, and it's tiring enough to deal with the pickiness and meanness of her grandparents and grandchildren on weekdays, and I have to be scolded for no reason! ”
Another mother-in-law also sighed worriedly: "I originally heard that they were the daughters of the official eunuchs, and I thought it was a good errand, but this old man was unreasonable, and the little one was mean and stingy, and in less than two days, we had already been deducted from our wages twice." If you continue like this, after doing it for a month, the money you can earn is not as much as what you can earn in half a month of washing and cooking in other homes, so why bother? After two more days, I want to quit. ”
The first mother-in-law heard this and said, "If you want to resign, I will resign too." Renting such a yard to live, the clothes are not really rich, everything has to be done by the two of us, and we scold at every turn, it really doesn't look like some big official is coming out, I'm afraid it's pretending. We quit and quit, what else can she do with us? ”
When Xie Pu hurriedly returned from Cheng'en Temple with Master Wuyin and two little novices who were used as medicine maids to check Mrs. Xie's pulse, Mrs. Xie regained her "coma" state, and she couldn't see that she had just played a majestic role.
Mrs. Xie didn't know that she and her honest and well-behaved granddaughter had already made a fuss with the two mothers-in-law. Her majesty as an old feudal monarch soon faded away.
