Chapter 173: Cheer Up
Aunt Dajin's request was a little sudden for Xie Pu, but it was not unexpected.
Aunt Dajin only has one biological daughter, Xie Yingrong. Now that Mrs. Xie has spoken, she wants Xie Yingrong to stay in Beijing with her, Aunt Dajin is reluctant to give up her daughter, and it is normal for her to want to stay.
Since the accident of the Xie family, Aunt Dajin has never abandoned her husband's family, and has helped the Wen family a lot. Although Xie Pu has long lost his love for her, he still feels her affection. After thinking about it, he felt that he could consider fulfilling Aunt Dajin's wish, and it could be regarded as leaving a helper for the old mother.
However, before announcing his decision, he turned his head and asked Wen's meaning: "What do you think?" If Jin Jin can't go back to his hometown with you, will you feel difficult? "Jin Jin is the name of Aunt Da Jin, and the name of my sister Aunt Jin is Jin Xiu.
Wen looked at Aunt Dajin and said, "They are all mothers, how can I not understand her thoughts?" Now that I have Ma Lu Yao and Sister Shan as helpers, Sister Zhen can also help a little, even if she is missing. However, the old lady has too few people, and if Aunt Jin helps her, it will be more convenient to do things. Aunt Jin also does a good hand of needlework, and she is also careful and thoughtful. With her by the old lady's side, the old man and I can feel much more at ease when we are far away. ”
She said to Aunt Jin: "Aunt Jin is waiting by the old lady's side, if you encounter any difficulties, don't worry, just write to me." Anything I can do to help, I won't shirk it. The master is far away, if he can't even catch up with me, the shopkeeper Mao who stayed in Beijing and the house of Brother Kun in the sect are all places where you can ask for help. Aunt Jin must not go outside, wait for the good old lady, take care of the third girl and yourself, it is not important to be around. ”
Aunt Dajin looked at Wen with a grateful gaze. Wen smiled back at her, and the two mothers had a tacit understanding.
Now that a consensus has been reached between wives and concubines, Xie Pu will not be too long-winded: "Since this is the case, the matter is so decided." I'll send someone to deliver a letter to my mother tomorrow. You don't have to move to the back street of Cheng'en Temple for the time being, you can clean up Jinxuan Hall first. When you have time, you often ask your mother to say goodbye and ask her what the old man thinks about renovating the yard. If it is easy to do, it will be done by the way, and if there is a difficulty, forget it. ”
Aunt Dajin hurriedly agreed.
At this time, the others seemed to have just come back to their senses, and Xie Huizhi looked at Aunt Da Jin with a shocked expression, and couldn't help but say, "Aunt wants to stay in Jinling City to accompany the third sister?" What about me? What should I do?! ”
Aunt Da Jin turned her head and looked at her adopted son and nephew with some guilt: "Third young master, don't be angry, I'm ...... I'm also worried that your third sister is helpless with the old lady in Jinling City...... You are different, there is a wife and the eldest young master, the second young master and the second girl to take care of you, and there are clan elders in your hometown, I have nothing to worry about you. Even if I'm not with you, you'll be fine. ”
Xie Huizhi's eyes were red: "I can also stay with you!" The old lady is surrounded by women, so she always needs a man who runs errands, right? ”
Xie Pu sat on the top seat, and his face sank when he heard this: "Nonsense! Are you an errand man? There was no manpower in the family before, and your brothers were sick again, and they could only let you show up. But now it's not the same as before, there is no shortage of people in the family, and you still need to do these jobs?! You honestly follow your brothers into the academy to study, and if you don't make a name for yourself, don't think about going back to Jinling City! ”
Seeing that Xie Pu was angry, Aunt Dajin hurriedly grabbed Xie Hui's words: "The third young master should listen to the master, reading is the right thing." Even if my aunt has a place to run errands here, there is a porter and a coachman at home, and there are shopkeepers and guys outside, it really can't be done, so I don't have to worry about going to Brother Kun in the sect, and I don't have to worry about no helper. The third young master just rest assured to go to study! In the future, when the third young master has a chance to be the official, the aunt will follow you to enjoy the blessings! ”
Xie Huizhi flattened his mouth, and finally held back his tears and nodded yes.
However, when everyone dispersed, he followed Xie Jinzhi and Xie Mulin into the latter's room, and he couldn't help but shed tears: "Aunt did this, in fact, I also know in my heart that I am not her biological flesh and blood after all, and I can't compare with the third sister." It's okay when it's okay, but once something happens, my aunt has to take care of the third sister first, and she can't take care of me. ”
Xie Jinzhi saw that he was sad, so he could only try his best to persuade him: "This is also human nature, it's not that Aunt Jin doesn't love you anymore, it's just that she can't let go of her third sister." But her concern for you is not fake, and you should not live up to her kindness. She was also thinking about your future, so she hoped that you could succeed in your studies and get ahead in the future, which was better than you wandering around Jinling City all day long! ”
Xie Huizhi sniffed and choked up: "I understand the reason, it's just that the third sister is so bad to my aunt, and I am still bent on fighting for my aunt, but now my aunt has left me and taken care of the third sister, and she hasn't asked me beforehand, I really don't feel good in my heart." Although I was not born to her, I was raised by her since I was a child, and I have long regarded her as my own mother. Unexpectedly, if it is not a pro, it is not a pro after all. In her heart, I will never be as good as the third sister. ”
Seeing him say this, Xie Jinzhi couldn't persuade him anymore.
However, Xie Mulin is not very accustomed to Xie Huizhi's appearance: "You are crying, what's the point?" Aunt Jin is more interested in her own flesh and blood, isn't it a matter of course? If you feel unwilling, you can simply study harder, and if you get fame as soon as possible, you can go back to Jinling City to pick up Aunt Jin. She herself said that she hoped that you would get ahead in the future and let her enjoy it. Do you think the third sister is someone you can rely on? Will you or her be able to take care of Aunt Jin in the future? Take a long-term view, the days are still long, how do you know that Aunt Jin will not change her mind one day? ”
Xie Huizhi lowered his head and thought about it, then wiped his face and wiped the tears on his face: "Second sister is right. What do I have to cry about? Manly husband, crying and crying, it's too unproductive! Even if the aunt wants to accompany the third sister, how many years can she accompany her? The third sister has started to think about her own family affairs so early, maybe she will get married soon, and when the time comes, won't my aunt have to be supported by me?
"I really should work harder, why should I have some achievements so that my aunt can live a good life in the future? When the time comes, she will surely remember my good and leave that unfilial girl behind! ”
Xie Jinzhi saw that he cheered up, so he couldn't help but smile, and twisted a wet handkerchief for him with his own hands: "Wash your face, look at your embarrassed appearance." ”
Xie Huizhi took the handkerchief, wiped his face indiscriminately, and said with some expectation: "Second brother, my homework has never been very good...... This time I went back to my hometown to study at the academy, and I really didn't have any confidence. When the time comes...... I'm afraid I'll have to ask my brothers for a lot of help. Otherwise, I don't know when I will be able to pass the exam. ”
At least he has to be admitted to Xiucai, so that he can be regarded as having a reputation and meeting his father's requirements, and he can go back to Jinling City to find his aunt. This goal seemed a bit distant to him.
Xie Jinzhi sighed: "If you want to learn, my eldest brother and I are naturally willing to teach you." Don't think of showing talent and fame as a difficult thing, my eldest brother and I still have to be promoted in the examination before we can step into Jinling City, isn't it a hundred times more difficult than you? ”
Xie Huizhi suddenly took a breath of cool air, and an expression of awe appeared on his face.
