Chapter 285: Filial Piety
Xie Mulin pretended to be an innocent person who didn't know the inside story, and knocked his cousin Xie Yingzhi a little, so that the elders of the clan could see her black mouth and black face, and after saying a few words, she successfully won the friendship of her sister Xie Yinglian.
That's the bonus.
Xie Mulin's biggest feeling about this is that the children of the sect are really simple......
Xie Yinglian didn't see through her superficial methods, she was very simple; Xie Yingzhi doesn't even have a city government where she pretends to be a nobody in public, so it's even simpler.
Compared with Xie Yingfen, who is only one year older than her, it is really too far behind.
This probably has something to do with the environment in which each person grows up. The clan is peaceful, the clan sisters are all petted at home, and the family is rich, they are raised in the deep boudoir, and the outsiders they can contact are limited, no matter how smart the children are, they can also be raised simple. Xie Yingfen has been mixed under her mother-in-law since she was a child, the prince is noble, the family is high, who hasn't seen the backyard female dependents? Under the influence of ears and eyes, just learn a little fur, it is enough to deal with simple little girls like Xie Yingzhi and Yang Yuan, and you can't find fault with her.
As for Xie Mulin himself, he hasn't experienced a house fight, haven't you seen a house fight? There are hundreds or thousands of classical vernacular and online texts in my stomach, no matter how shallow the means are, my knowledge is not ordinary.
She sat with her sister Xie Yingfen with a smile, eating lunch as if nothing happened, chatting about some snacks and delicacies after the meal, and she didn't mean to be dissatisfied with Xie Yingzhi at all.
Or Xie Yinglian quietly found her and thanked her privately: "Thank you sister a lot, if my sister hadn't concealed what I said, I'm afraid that the second aunt would have annoyed me." She only has a second sister and a daughter, and the second sister has been weak since she was a child, and she is the most taboo for others to say the word 'sick'. In the past few days, the second sister has been fine and has not been sick, if I say that she is not good, the second aunt will never let me go. ”
Xie Mulin blinked, pursed his lips and smiled, "Sister Yinglian doesn't have to be polite to me. Originally, I thought that my second cousin was really unwell, so I persuaded her not to force her, but when I came back to the scene, I had already alarmed the elders, so I had to prevaricate with words. I understand what my sister meant, you were just trying to cover her up, but it was a good intention. On the contrary, I was confused, and I almost affected my sister. ”
Xie Yinglian couldn't help laughing: "How can you say that your sister is confused?" I said the wrong thing. ”
In fact, it wasn't that she said the wrong thing, at that time, she had no other way to explain the latter's black mouth and black face except to use Xie Yingzhi's physical discomfort as a reason. Xie Yingzhi was rude first, Xie Mulin was misled by her, thinking that Xie Yingzhi was sick, so she would say that she cared, all of this was a mistake, and the culprit was still Xie Yingzhi. Xie Yinglian is a good girl who is sensible, of course she will not resent Xie Mulin, not to mention that Xie Mulin also helped her avoid the accusations of her aunt Wang.
Xie Mulin smiled and turned back to the topic: "I really didn't expect that my second cousin was really dissatisfied with me...... When the hell did I offend her? ”
Xie Yinglian saw that she had misunderstood again, she opened her mouth and stopped, and now she told the truth, and it was not much better, so she could only talk about him left and right: "She has a child's temper, and the family often doesn't know why she is annoyed for a while, and she is okay for a while." Sister Yingzhen, don't be like her, she will forget it when she turns around. But in my heart, I had already made up my mind to report today's events to my grandmother, and asked my grandmother to come forward and persuade my cousin.
Xie Mulin smiled, did not dwell on this matter anymore, but pulled Xie Yinglian to chat and gossip, and hurried up time to establish a good relationship with this cousin. Zongfang has two daughters, as long as she befriends the older one, the other bear child is not important.
After lunch, all the ladies in the main room were full of food and drink, some took their children to say goodbye first, and some stayed to continue chatting.
Grandma Liu told Du Shi about the news she had just inquired about: "I went back to my mother's house to ask my brother, that Zhang's son does like to drink, make friends, and the name of hospitality is not fake, but their group of young people, in addition to going to the restaurant to drink, are also frequent visitors to the Qinglou Chu Restaurant." The Oiran of a green building in Suzhou City heard that there was still some ambiguity with Zhang's son. Zhang's son has to live in Suzhou for three or four months a year, and no one can say where he will stay. The Zhang family's shop in Suzhou only lived in the shopkeeper and the family, and the people of the main family used to check the accounts, and they were all placed in the inn, and they never lived for more than three days. ”
Du Shi's expression was solemn: "Then forget it." Even if this Zhang son has a good reputation, he is not a good person. ”
Wen sat on the side, still a little didn't understand, the wife of Xie Jinwen, Xie Jing's eldest son next door, had already whispered in her ear: "The eldest sister is in time for this year, and the family is showing her others. This Zhang son is the candidate mentioned by the uncle and wife of the Wang family before, saying that he is outstanding in talent and morality, has a reputation, has a family fortune of one million, is a big family in Zhenze Town, and has an uncle who is an official in the Huzhou Mansion. The wife asked someone to inquire about the temperament of the Zhang family. Aunt Liu's mother's family runs a wine shop, and she often has business dealings with Zhenze and is well-informed. ”
Wen suddenly realized and sighed: "This Zhang son is young, what talent can he learn to be famous?" I think it is also because of the wealth of the family that I have this great reputation. But what good can such a reputation do? Yinglian has a gentle and demure temperament, and is a good boy who is passing through the days, and she is not a person at all with such a hero. ”
Chen smiled and nodded: "The old lady and the wife both mean this, but the uncle and wife of the Wang family are also kind." She is so enthusiastic about pulling the line, our family doesn't inquire clearly, it's not good to refuse with her in-laws......"
Wen couldn't help but glance at Wang, his heart was clear, and he sighed secretly. Of course, Zhang's son is not a good match, but he has an uncle who is an official in Huzhou Mansion, and he is naturally very useful to the uncle of the Wang family, who is the chief bookkeeper of Huyin County. If the Wang family told their niece Xie Yingzhi about their relatives, it would be despicable, but the latter was born to the daughter of the Wang family; But the Wang family told Xie Yinglian in the next room about their family affairs, which was too unkind. If Xie Yinglian really marries into the Zhang family and has a bad life, how can the brothers Xie Hui and Xie Mao of the Zongfang, as well as the concubines of the Du family and the Wang family, get along? A good family is going to be mixed up by the Wang family!
But I don't know if Wang knows the trick? What do you think about this?
Aunt Liu's Fang Shi chatted with Du Shi about the young and middle-aged talents in the county she knew, and by the way, she also took out the candidates from several nearby towns to count them and give Du Shi a reference. Xie Meijun, who has never been keen on gossip, also rarely introduced outstanding students in her academy who have not yet been married. A group of wives and grandmothers had a heated discussion about Xie Yinglian's marriage partner.
After chatting, Du Shi was about to get up and go to change clothes. Seeing this, Wen also said hello to the people around him, followed Du out of the house, waited for the other party to turn back, and then stepped forward to speak, avoiding others, and apologizing to her.
For the old lady to thank the old lady for her rudeness to the old man Du Fengchun.
Du Shi didn't care, and said with a smile: "My father's temperament is like this, and he doesn't know how much anger he will attract all year round, and the family has long been used to it." It's not surprising that the third old lady is like this, but her old man's condition, she still tries to keep her calm and better. However, I heard my father say that the third old lady is in good health for the time being, and our old lady can rest assured. However, the second old lady is there, every spring and autumn, she always has to make old diseases, and she has to bother the third brother and sister to take care of her old man more and pay more attention to her diet and daily life. ”
Wen didn't know that Song had such an old problem, and suddenly became worried: "Thank you sister-in-law for reminding me, I will definitely pay more attention!" "I was already thinking in my heart that I would be more filial in front of my mother-in-law.
Anyway, Mrs. Xie didn't allow her to go to the old house, and her filial piety could only be used on the Song family.
