Chapter 257: Qi Peace

Mrs. Xie still cherishes her life.

Even if she habitually likes to show off her majesty by losing her temper, forcing her family to give in and follow her instructions, it is when she is sure that her life is okay. The doctor said in front of her that she should be as calm as possible and not get angry at every turn, otherwise she would be worried about her life. Of course, she would not openly disobey the doctor's instructions, as if she thought she was dying too long.

Therefore, even if what Xie Mulin said was very unpleasant, she endured this tone. Anyway, it's just a trivial matter, and the granddaughter's starting point is also for her good.

However, even if she really wanted to move the place, Mrs. Xie was unwilling to live in a remote house and a courtyard. "The buildings in the backyard are also high, and they can't be flooded when the water comes," she said. When I first came here, I said I was going to settle there. Ah He went around and said that the doors and windows were broken, and they couldn't be repaired, and they couldn't be covered by the wind and rain, so he dispelled his idea. ”

Pearl and Mrs. He both showed ashamed expressions. In fact, the damage to the small building in the backyard is real, but if you really have the heart, it is not impossible to find someone to repair it. The tenants in the vicinity will not, and there will be carpenters in Qianwan Village. But they were short of manpower and had no money, so they couldn't keep busy just taking care of Mrs. Xie, a sick person, and preparing meals for three. Mrs. He still has to go to the county seat to get medicine, and Pearl also has to go to Pingwang Town to block people, who has time to renovate the house? It is not easy to clean the main house in a hurry. There are still holes in the wall of the main house, and I haven't had time to mend them, so I can only find a broken wooden board to block it.

But for Shimlin, this is not much of a problem. She had just seen the building in the backyard, the gate had just fallen off, the roof tiles were intact, but there was no furniture, and the ground was too dirty. There is more furniture on the second floor, but the windows are more damaged. At the beginning, this place was estimated to have been carefully built, and there were exquisite carvings on the windows, which were invaded by wind and rain for more than ten years, and were lost in maintenance, and were naturally badly damaged.

Xie Mulin clapped his hands and made up his mind: "Then listen to the old lady and move to the backyard to live." The windows on the second floor are seriously damaged, and they can't be repaired for a while, so the old lady lives downstairs. I asked someone to clean the house, open the door of the plum house, and bring some furniture over there. If it goes well tonight, the old lady can move over tonight, but it really can't work, and it will be the same for Ming'er. ”

Mrs. Xie was immediately satisfied, thinking that if her granddaughter was disobedient, didn't she have to obey her old woman? Even if Xie Yingzhen is nominally the granddaughter of the Song family, it is actually impossible to treat her as a real grandmother! Can the Song family have such a power as her?!

Xie Mulin didn't care what Mrs. Xie was making up in her head. When she saw that all the members of her household were well fed, she told them to go their separate ways.

Someone went to clean the empty house and arrange a place for everyone to stay tonight; Some use the remaining objects of the old house, and then borrow some tools from the tenant family to repair the broken doors and windows everywhere; Some people used rudimentary tools such as stones and firewood knives to build two wooden ladders to get out, and then used long bamboo poles to pick up lanterns for lighting, so that people could climb up to the roofs, remove some of the tiles of the dilapidated houses that were really uninhabitable, and fill in the roofs of other houses that could still be inhabited.

In the middle of the moon, the rooms on the ground floor of the back building were cleaned, the dust was wiped away with a damp cloth, and the night breeze blew and dried in less than two quarters of an hour. Xie Mulin took people to Meilu again and moved some usable furniture, such as beds, tables, chairs, screens and wardrobes, all of which are the most basic standard equipment.

These furniture, take a closer look, you will know that the materials are relatively general, some are also carved with some patterns, most of them do not even have patterns, and the style is plain and simple. According to Ma Luyao and his wife, who have been waiting by Wen's side for many years, some of these furniture were made by the old lady Xie Zehu when the third room was not yet rich, and later the family had money, so they asked Mrs. Xie to withdraw it and replace it with good furniture with high-quality materials and exquisite workmanship.

The old lady originally said that the old furniture could be given to the poor clansmen, but the old lady Xie did not agree, and it was all sent to the warehouse to accumulate dust. Xie Pu may not be very concerned about these things, and when he moved, he left the old furniture in the old mansion without special instructions.

There is also a part of the furniture, which is used by the subordinates. Xie Pu was very enthusiastic about the relocation of the whole family, and allocated a large amount of silver, enough to build a new house, purchase the necessary furniture and supplies, and even replace all the furniture used by the subordinates with new ones, and the subordinates left the old ones. However, the person in charge probably felt that it was too wasteful to lose the things, so they all sent them to the plum house and locked them, so that when the master remembered them later, they could come back and pick them up at any time.

Now all these furniture are cheaper, and the owner who has returned to his hometown is down.

Shemulin didn't dislike the old furniture at all. They are not badly damaged, and most of them are still very durable, just wipe them with a damp cloth. Transported to the small building in the backyard, hung up the mosquito net, and changed the straw mat, it is much better than the family members who will use it in the main house.

When Mrs. He and Pearl saw each other, they repented more and more. If they had used a little more care and inspected the entire old mansion more carefully, they would have been able to find these old furniture, and Mrs. Xie would not have to suffer so many days of grievances.

Xie Mulin reassured them and said, "It's not easy for you to do this. There are few people, and you don't have much strength, so even if you find furniture, do you still have the strength to move it? Besides, the old lady was seriously ill at that time, so you naturally had to take care of her illness first. ”

Mrs. He and Pearl felt better, and began to worry about how to move Mrs. Xie over. In the main house, not to mention the things left over from the accumulation of water back then, the corners of the house were broken, and the roof was leaking, and when it rained a few days ago, it was really uncomfortable for people to live. Now that I smell the moisture in the air, it may rain tonight. It is better for Mrs. Xie to move out of the main house a moment earlier.

Xie Mulin called one of the most powerful servants among the male and female servants who stayed, and asked her princess to pick up Mrs. Xie and send her to the back building, which was both trouble-free and fast. Mrs. He and Pearl were in charge of unfolding their cloaks all the way to block the wind for her. When things were done, Mrs. Xie was still a little dumbfounded.

How unreasonable! When did she call the most vulgar inferior servant woman closer?! Even if you can't find a soft sedan or a cool sedan in a hurry, you should get her a stretcher, right?!

However, Shermulin ignored it. What a servant woman can accomplish in a minute, why bother to get a soft sedan chair or stretcher? With that effort, you might as well think more about how to make your temporary living environment better.

Xie Mulin's own sleeping place has not yet been decided. She was thinking that it was too late tonight, and she was afraid that she would have to ask someone to get a bamboo couch and spend the night in the back building. Thinking about it, the conditions were not much worse than when she was on the ship, just like when she was raiding her house, she could bear it. When it dawns tomorrow, she will find a way to improve her accommodation.

Not...... It is impossible to live in a room with Mrs. Xie for a long time. You can't live in a yard! Meilu's place is good, just clean it out. The main hall in the front yard may need to receive guests, clansmen, doctors or something, and it needs to be cleaned again. In the main house, what should be mended must also be mended. In case Wen came back to serve the sick, he still needed a place to stay. The man's wife, of course, lives in the main house of the main courtyard, so she is justified.

Xie Mulin arranged his own affairs in a hurry, leaving Pearl and Mrs. He to wait for Mrs. Xie. Pearl and Mrs. He took medicine and porridge, and persuaded the old lady Xie not to get angry, the second girl's arrangement is the best, and they are all filial piety to her, otherwise when will the old lady live in the intact back building?

Mrs. Xie glared at the two henchmen, and kept telling herself in her heart that she had to be calm, calm, and not angry...... Then, she swallowed it again.
