Chapter 351: Bait

Xie Xianzhi came back from the old mansion in the evening, and he confirmed to the Wen family and others that Xie Mulin really knew enough about Mrs. Xie, and the methods he came up with always worked.

Xie Xianzhi went to the old house alone, and even Xie Huizhi slightly delayed the itinerary and didn't go with him, but when Mrs. Xie heard that he was coming, although her expression was still a little disgusted, but after saying the main content mentioned in Xie Pu's letter, she couldn't wait to ask him about the news from Xie Jiajiao.

Of course, at the beginning, Mrs. Xie was still relatively reserved, and she didn't reveal the gossip too thoroughly, but just claimed to be concerned about her grandson's studies and life, and asked him how he was doing during this time.

Although Xie Xianzhi had already been mentioned by his sister Xie Mulin, he was still quite surprised to see that Mrs. Xie was rarely kind to him. However, he is an honest child, and when Mrs. Xie asks him about his studies and life, he only answers about his studies and life.

Mrs. Xie didn't really care about Xie Xianzhi's personal situation, at most she heard him say that the gentleman in Zhushan Academy valued him very much, and felt that he was very hopeful that he would pass the county and government exams next year and become a child.

When Xie Xianzhi said that his mentor Niu Daru took the students of the academy to participate in the college examination, and his uncle Yang Yiquan led people to stay in the academy, so his curriculum was relaxed a lot, and most of the time he relied on his own review, or asked other gentlemen for advice, Mrs. Xie came to the spirit and asked: "Have you also asked your Uncle Yang for advice?" What does he do to you? Did you teach you with your heart? ”

Xie Xianzhi replied honestly: "Uncle Yang has been busy recently, and his grandson doesn't dare to disturb, so he asks other gentlemen for more advice." ”

Old Mrs. Xie was even more interested: "What has your Uncle Yang been busy with lately?" ”

Xie Xianzhi heard his family talk about the cement workshop, and now he can see that Mrs. Xie is indeed very interested in this topic, so she honestly told the ins and outs of the matter. However, when talking about Yang Yiquan's part, the words are much more euphemistic, it seems that Yang Yiquan is very methodical, and he is also very close to the Xie family emotionally, and he is also benevolent and righteous to the Yang family, especially highlighting the high style and bright festival of Lord Yang, and the strict requirements for the children of the family, as for the embarrassment of Mrs. Yang's mother and son, he just brought it in one sentence.

However, Mrs. Xie had heard Xie Huizhi mention the whole story, of course, she would not be frightened by Xie Xianzhi's words, and she sneered gloatingly: "Mrs. Yang must be very embarrassed, right?" This country woman is actually very stupid, and she is not knowledgeable, and she thinks she is sorry, and the son she raised is as stupid as her. Yang Weisi is a man, although he is pedantic, but he is still very smart, he can see what kind of character his wife is, and he doesn't take her to his post to show her ugliness, so he asks her to take her son to nest in her hometown in the countryside, and only the people in her hometown know if she wants to make jokes. Everyone will give him the face of the township party who is an official outside, and he will be more tolerant and not care about his wife and son.

"It's a shame that Mrs. Yang and her son still think that Yang Weisi trusts them the most, and that family property is not at ease except for handing it over to them to take care of, and handing it over to others. Ha! The mother and son of the Yang family are countrymen who have never seen the world and don't know what kind of place Yangzhou is. After being an official there for three years, how much money can't be paid? How many acres of land and weaving mills are rare in the countryside?! ”

Xie Xianzhi was very embarrassed when he heard it, but he really didn't plan to speak ill of his relatives, let alone his aunt's in-laws? However, my sister Xie Mulin reminded in a text message in advance that there is a very reasonable saying: the Yang family acted inappropriately this time, and it is inevitable to ask people to gossip. Besides, his family is unfair to his aunt and uncle, rather than letting his grandmother and her old man make fun of the second aunt and grandmother and aunt and uncle, it is better to throw the Yang family out as a shield.

Now Xie Xianzhi saw that Mrs. Xie really teased the Yang family, and didn't mention her aunt and uncle again, so she was secretly relieved, and then once again offered what her second sister told her to say in the letter: "My grandson doesn't know what Mrs. Yang is like, but she is a five-grade order, in the boundary of Huyin County, even the county has to give her three points, and who can stop her majesty?" Although the wife also has an edict, as a junior, it is inconvenient to come forward for many things. Only the old lady is far above Mrs. Yang in terms of origin, generation and rank. If the old lady can come forward to protect the Xie family, how can the Yang family dare to be arrogant? Mrs. Yang can't snub our Xie family's clansmen even more. ”

Old Madam Xie was silent for a moment. To be honest, she had never considered such a thing. She couldn't wait to stay away from the Xie family, how could she still shelter them? But if she really did this, would the old immortals of the Xie family still have the face to count her down? Even those characters in Huyin County who used to look at her unpleasantly should grovel to her, right? Not to mention anything else, Mrs. Yang, who always didn't take her in her eyes in the past, really wanted to be a little low in front of her. You must know that she has a fourth-grade edict on her, and her son Xie Pu was also promoted to the third grade, but because she was in a hurry, she didn't have time to ask for a third-grade edict for her. This identity is put out, let alone in Huyin County, even in the entire Huzhou Mansion, she can walk sideways.

Xie Xianyi wiped his sweat while taking a sip of the chrysanthemum tea that his second sister Xie Mulin gave him, moistened his throat, and then sighed: "Before I left, I heard the words from Sister Pearl, saying that after the old lady saw me, she whispered to them in the house, saying that when she had not turned her face with the Cao family, why did she never think of going back to her hometown in Huyin to show off her majesty?" Even if it is not good to offend the Xie family, the other families in the county have to respect her. There are also many people in these families who have been angry with her in the past. The second sister expected that the old lady was now in good health, and she was also very quiet, and she no longer hid and refused to see people as before. Although he still has scruples about the Xie family, he is really interested in others. ”

Xie Mulin smiled: "These are secondary. As long as her old man is willing to take the initiative to reconcile with the clan, whether she can meet outsiders and play prestige in front of outsiders depends on our arrangement? She can't be an old man who can't be innocent, and takes the initiative to go to the street to show that she is a four-grade fate, and ask Mrs. Yang to come and see her, right? That's stupid, too. So, it's just bait. If the old lady is willing to take the bait, of course, it is better. If she doesn't want to take the bait, that's fine. As long as she is kinder to your eldest brother, no longer picks her nose and eyes, and scolds people casually, I have already achieved my goal. ”

Xie Xianzhi smiled and said, "The second sister has no last resort. The old lady was very kind to me today, and let me go and talk to her when I had time. At dinner, she also said that I had lost a lot of weight, and told me not to patronize hard study, which tired my body, and to eat more fish. ”

If he cared about it like this, that is, before the Xie family's accident, he only enjoyed it from Mrs. Xie. Although I haven't heard it for half a year, I feel a lot more precious now. Xie Xianzhi is really full of emotion now.

Xie Mulin smiled and turned to Wen's: "This third brother has rushed back, and the old lady won't be lonely tonight." Wait until tomorrow morning, I will go back to accompany her and tell her the news outside. ”

Wen Shi is now truly convinced of his daughter's judgments of Mrs. Xie, and said with a smile: "Okay, you go, stay with the old lady for two days, and it will not be too late to come back at noon on the fourteenth." Haosheng accompanies the old lady and coaxes her to be happier. This year's festival in the clan, our family has to participate in the ancestor worship, and we can't get rid of it, and we snub the old lady, so don't be angry. ”
