Xie Mulin's surprise was not because of Wen's approach, which seemed to disown Xie Zehu as her father-in-law and clarified her identity as the daughter-in-law of the second room, but because she took the initiative to explain this to her mother-in-law Song, and also presented the sacrificial plan to Song for review, making a "daughter-in-law" posture.

The Wen family has always regarded Mrs. Xie Lu as a serious mother-in-law, and only respects the mother-in-law Song, but has no practical action. Because in her mind, she knew very well that Mrs. Xie was Xie Pu's mother.

But now, her attitude towards Mrs. Xie and the Song family has changed. No matter how long this change lasts, attitudes are already there. She corrected her position, which means that Mrs. Xie's influence on her has gradually declined.

Xie Mulin was pleased to see his mother's transformation, and felt that the air was much fresher, and the feeling of suffocation in his chest had dissipated most of it.

Song also seemed to notice the change in Wen's attitude, and took a special look at the latter. However, her expression did not change, and she still smiled and said kindly: "You let Xianzhi be the main priest, has he already practiced etiquette?" Although he is steady, he is only a teenager after all, and it is the first time he has experienced such a major event, once something goes wrong, with his background, he will be even more criticized in the clan. ”

Wen couldn't help but hesitate: "This ...... After all, it can be shown that he is the eldest son of the old man, the eldest grandson of the old lady, and it is clearly recorded in the family tree. Although his biological mother is divorced, she is not a wife after all, he is the eldest son of the third room, whether it is the old man or the old lady, they are all recognized. The eldest lady of the sect has never said anything...... This child has an upright character and understands things, and he does not forget his roots because of a foreign dignitary...... The lord hopes that he can be recognized by the clan and not sink because of the mistakes of his biological mother and foreign family. ”

Song smiled slightly: "I know that Yuhe and your husband and wife have never despised her children because of the Cao family, and they are still looking forward to being able to support the lintel of the third room." But the Cao family has always disrespected the clan and has a bad reputation in the clan, and now there is a scandal in addition to the destruction of the family. Obviously, he is her eldest son, and he will definitely be affected by her. You let Xianzhi return to his hometown to study, but also hope that the clansmen can get along with him more, see his strengths, and don't despise him because of his biological mother.

"But he is also a newcomer now, and the first time he worships his ancestors, he will take the lead, and let you, the wife of Yuhe, go backwards...... Although you are willing, you also need to consider the opinions of your people. At present, the clansmen still don't know the obvious character, but it is easy to misunderstand that the third brother and sister and the Cao family have acted arrogantly for many years, and they are not respectful to the elders. You and Yuhe were originally for the good of the children, but how is this practice different from the seedlings? ”

Wen suddenly hesitated, and said a thought: "Mother's meaning...... I want my daughter-in-law to ...... Receiving sacrifices? ”

Song smiled and didn't answer her question directly, but talked about the old thing: "When our lord and the third master set up a jade and a concubine, we never mentioned any words about two wives and each inheriting incense. We are all thinking that you and Yuhe are a young couple, you are also healthy, and you will definitely have many sons and blessings in the future, the eldest son will inherit the incense in the third room, and the second son will succeed us in the second room as the heir, so we are all happy. But because the Cao family was domineering, and the third brother and sister were confused, they almost ruined your marriage contract, so the sect and I persuaded Yuhe to tentatively make you the second wife's daughter-in-law and marry Yuhe. If the Cao family retreats in shame, there is naturally no such thing as a wife or a wife, and the two of you are a serious couple. If the Cao family is brazen...... At least it will keep your name safe.

"Now that sixteen years have passed, the Cao family has invited himself to go to the court, and you will be the only wife of Yuhe, and you are the first match, and Yuhe will not mention anything about marrying a flat wife and being the heir of the third room. Then follow the arrangement agreed upon by the two old ladies at the beginning. You are Yuhe's wife, no matter what the second room or the third room is, the third brother and sister and I are all your mother-in-law. Your husband and wife will inherit the third room as you wish, and you will inherit the second room, and it will come according to your will. ”

Therefore, for the sacrifice of the old lady Xie Zehu in the third room, it is still necessary for the Wen family, who is the daughter-in-law, to preside, Xie Xianzhi followed behind his mother-in-law to salute, Xie Jinzhi is not only a concubine, but also in front of the brothers, and worships his grandfather with his brothers.

Wen Shi was a little excited when he heard this, and his eyes were red: "Mother! This ......"

Song smiled faintly: "Just do it." The people will not have any objections. If anyone doubts, say it is me. ”

Xie Mulin was dumbfounded as he listened, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was not easy for her to let Wen and Mrs. Xie draw a little clear line and make it clear that the relationship between the two is not a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but as a result, Song said a few words, and let them be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law again? What is this going on?!

Xie Meijun, who was sitting quietly, looked at her sister-in-law Wen's dazed appearance, so she stepped forward with a smile and comforted her: "Mother really thinks so, and the third sister-in-law just agrees." We know that the third aunt has always felt that her mother is robbing her son with her, so she holds a grudge and does many ridiculous things. But she looked down on her mother too much! Mother will not compete with her on matters of these titles. On that day, my father and my third uncle set the third brother and the third brother, first, I was afraid that after I got married, my mother would be old and had no one to support her; The second is to use the relationship between the heir and the father to pave the way for the third brother as Hanlin, so that the third brother can make friends with people in Shilin, and he will always be laughed at as a businessman. But these two concerns no longer exist. ”

Although Xie Zechuan died early, his widow Song insisted on running Zhushan Academy, and it became more and more prosperous, and now it is a famous academy in the lake and Suzhou area. Shuyuan Ze is surrounded by Huyin countryside, and the Song family vigorously supports the children of the Xie family, even if the heir Xie Pu is away all the year round, and the Song family has no son, there is no need to worry about the problem of providing for the elderly. Whether it is the people of the Xie clan, or the teachers and students of the academy, they all respect her, and often send letters of greetings in person or send representatives, and there is never a lack of filial piety. The juniors in the Xie clan will also take the initiative to come to her home every day to listen to orders.

The Song family's daughter Xie Meijun was originally married to Yang Yiquan of the Shijiao family, not a son-in-law. However, Yang Yiquan entered the academy to teach, and he was already the next mountain chief by default, and the whole family usually lived in the academy, and often came to the Xie family's two-bedroom mansion to ask for peace and a small stay. The Yang clan in Huyin County had already acquiesced to his approach. Yang Yiquan won the support of his father's family and was able to inherit his father-in-law's legacy, and naturally he had to be filial to his mother-in-law Song. His children have grown up beside the Song family since they were children, and they will naturally continue to be filial to their grandmother in the future.

In this way, it doesn't matter at all whether Xie Pu and his wife will return to their hometown to Chenghuan Song's knees. The Song family doesn't ask too much for her heir, because she has her own daughter and grandson by her side, and she has a protégé who has devoted many years of hard work, and there is no shortage of concern at all.

On the other hand, Xie Pu participated in the examination in advance because of his biological mother, far away from the clan, and obtained fame, and was favored by the Cao family to marry a daughter because of his wealth, the name of this businessman has long been ingrained in the hearts of the world, and he can't take it off at all. Does the world know that he is the heir of Hanlin, what does it matter after the fragrance of books?

Song said that she was much better than Mrs. Xie's concubine. She has daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters who are filial to her, and everyone around her truly loves and respects her. And what about Mrs. Xie? Although he took away his son, his son has been in the field for more than ten years, and he has not served by her side for a few days, and he has two daughters-in-law, one room is suspicious and will only use her to fool her, and the other room is deliberately suppressed by her and is now gradually centrifuged, and few of her children and grandchildren are truly filial to her.

How can the two compare?

The Song family is already a winner in life, and he doesn't mind showing a little kindness to the poor concubine.
