Xie Mulin set off to go back to the capital to pick up Xie Yinghui and Xie Yingrong back to Huyin after the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so after a round of busy work a year ago, he only "rested" for three days during the New Year, and was only busy following his mother Wen every day.

She had heard that Xie Meijun and Yang Yiquan had a parting relationship, but she didn't have time to talk to the news every day. However, the Wen family has to report to the second room almost every day, comfort the Song family and Xie Meijun, and relieve Yang Chun and Yang Yuan's two children, and if there is a little time in the middle, they will sit with the rest of the clan and criticize Yang Yiquan, the son-in-law of the second room who disappointed everyone in the Xie family, so when it comes to understanding the recent situation of Xie Meijun and his wife and the news of the Yang family, she is much stronger than her daughter.

When Xie Mulin asked, the Wen family told her daughter that Xie Meijun had sent a concubine to the Yang family, and sighed: "Your aunt must be extremely sad and completely dead to your Uncle Yang, so she will personally pick someone to send it to your Uncle Yang." But even so, she didn't deliberately spoil people's thoughts, and specially picked a docile and delicate, peaceful girl, who was born in an innocent Zhuang family, although she didn't know a few words, her demeanor was dignified, and she was sensible. It's not like that Mrs. Yang, who kept saying that she wanted to give her nephew a leaf, but it turned out that it was a dusty woman who sent it, which was too burying! She didn't want to think about it, your Uncle Yang is a man who is a lifter, and he teaches in the academy, how can the people waiting around him be so unsophisticated? Where is this for the sake of your Uncle Yang? It's clear that he deliberately slapped him in the face! ”

Wen shook his head in disappointment: "She has gone so far, your Uncle Yang still has to swallow his anger, even those two dusty women, they were blocked by several Confucian scholars who lived in the academy." Your Uncle Yang is too spineless to do this job. Your grandmother has been regretting it, saying that she only thought that he had a gentle temper and would not treat your Aunt Meijun harshly, and with Master Yang as a matchmaker, she should make this marriage. If she had known that your Uncle Yang was a person who had no temper with anyone and didn't know how to protect his wife and children, she would definitely not have allowed her daughter out so hastily. ”

Xie Mulin was a little surprised: "Let's just talk about this kind of thing in private, grandmother...... Did she get it all out of her mouth? ”

Wen said: "Let's just talk about it privately from our own family. But at that time, your Aunt Meijun and the two children were not in front of you, and your grandmother was talking to the eldest lady in private, and she was sad for a while, and she couldn't help but say something from her heart to us. We don't dare to say these words in front of your Aunt Meijun and Chun'er and Yuan'er, but when we think of your aunt, we really feel sorry for her. ”

Xie Mulin asked again: "My aunt has already decided to live separately from Uncle Yang?" Yang Chun Yang Yuan will live in the second room in the future? Is there no opinion on the Yang family's side? ”

"What can they say? Is it possible to take the child over and raise it? Wen snorted coldly, "Where is Mrs. Yang such a loving person?" Sending the children to the Yang family will only make them feel wronged! As for the academy, when Chun Ge'er reached his age and went to school, he just lived in the school house like everyone else, and he didn't have to stay with his father. His father will have a concubine in the future, and it will be embarrassing to look at it every day as a son. As for Sister Yuan, it's better to stay with us.

"Actually, your aunt often comes back to her parents' house, and it is convenient for husband and wife to live separately, and she clearly said that she wants to divide the property, but she is just worried about the Yang family's idea of hitting Zhushan Academy. And your Uncle Yang, whether you want to continue to take scientific examinations in the future, or stay in the academy to teach, you can't be a mountain chief anyway. At the end of this year, your grandmother will report to the clan and ask them to discuss who should take over the position of mountain chief. ”

Since the death of Xie Zechuan, the founder of Zhushan Academy, the position of Zhengshan Chief has been vacant, and only one member of the Xie family and one Daru have served as deputy mountain chiefs to handle the affairs of the academy. Originally, everyone already had a consensus that when Yang Yi was older, taught more students, and had students who were admitted to the Jinshi meritorious service, he would officially take up the post of mountain chief. Unexpectedly, now that such a change occurred, Yang Yiquan would certainly not be able to become the master of Zhushan Academy again. If it weren't for Xie Pu, Xie Zechuan's heir or his descendants, he would have to wait until Yang Chun, the son of Xie Meijun and Yang Yiquan, grew up and became famous, and then he would have to take over this industry.

Until then, the Xie clan and the great Confucians who taught had to continue to be in charge of all the daily affairs of the academy.

Xie Mulin thought to himself, after this incident, Yang Yiquan's uncle must not feel very comfortable from being recognized by the whole academy as the next mountain chief candidate to be an ordinary teaching staff at once, right?

The level of his teaching is not bad, but he teaches students who have a relatively shallow foundation and are relatively young, and when the students have learned a certain level, they will be guided by other gentlemen with better knowledge. He didn't officially accept any disciples, except for the identity of the Xie family's son-in-law and future mountain chief, in fact, he was not very prominent among the teachers of Zhushan Academy. The Xie family no longer supports him in the position now, and he may have to be an ordinary teacher for the rest of his life. Whether he can adapt to it is one thing, and the old man Yang, who has great expectations for him, will be furious when he learns the news.

But...... Xie Mulin always felt that Aunt Xie Meijun turned her face with her husband Yang Yiquan this time, and she was a little too decisive and ruthless. It's just that the Yang family proposed to take a concubine, and Yang Yiquan didn't refuse, maybe there is also the reason why the Yang family deliberately embarrassed Xie Meijun for the sake of cement, but it is so troublesome to the extent of separating property and living separately, in addition to keeping a husband and wife name, the two can almost be regarded as reconciled, right? Is it that serious? Obviously, not long ago, their husband and wife were still very loving and harmonious, and they had two children......

Xie Mulin only thought it was weird, but after thinking about it, he felt that even if the husband and wife were in love in front of others, they might not be really harmonious in private. Maybe Yang Yiquan did something excessive, Xie Meijun had already been separated from him; Or was the Yang family too much, so Xie Meijun couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned his face?

Xie Mulin himself didn't know the inside story of the husband and wife, but Xie Meijun made the decision himself, the Song family did not object, Yang Chun and Yang Yuan did not cry, and the other party, Yang Yiquan, obediently accepted it, so why should outsiders ask more?

Xie Mulin continued to prepare for the trip, and also urged Xie Xianzhi to exercise diligently, adapt to outdoor activities, eat more nutritious food, and ensure adequate sleep. This will allow you to recuperate as soon as possible and prepare for the long journey that will take place in the near future.

There was news from Xie Jiawan that the carriage renovation project had begun. Xie Huizhi would go over to take a look when he was free, and according to him, it was going well.

Seeing that Xie Yingfen was very interested, he simply taught her how to operate, said a few precautions, and left the loom to the little sister to play. Xie Yingfen was very happy, and invited all the good little sisters to play at home, and specially moved the shuttle loom back to her yard to show off.

Within a few days, Aunt Liu, who was in the seventh room, found Xie Mulin: "Sister Zhen, what kind of shuttle machine, where did you get it?" ”
