The next day, Xie Zeshan, the eldest lady of the sect, set off to return to Huyin County. Wen took the juniors to Xie Jinkun's house to see him off.

Even Xie Yinghui came.

Xie Zeshan wanted to help the Song family in the second room re-operate the network circle, and it was impossible to save Xie Pu and there would be no follow-up, and the follow-up gifts were naturally indispensable, and he could not rest assured that his grandson Xie Jinkun, who had been away from home for several years, and the group of juniors in Xie Pu's family, had postponed the schedule of returning to his hometown again and again, and until now, it can no longer be delayed, so the day of departure was set.

He wants to rush back to Huyin County, preside over the Dragon Boat Festival in the clan this year, and by the way, let his family help Sanfang clean the house, and prepare for the Wen family to move in after they go back, and there are still a lot of things to be busy.

He repeatedly instructed Wen: "Yuhe mentioned it to you before, right?" After you take the children back to Huyin, don't go to Xiejiawan, where our Xie family used to live. In the eighth year of Jingle, Xie Jiawan was almost submerged, and although the flood receded, the houses of the clan were badly damaged, and many fields were difficult to recultivate. The government arranged for our He clan to move to the vicinity of the county seat, and now Zhuangzi has been built, which is also by the water, and is named Xiejiajiao. The Zhushan Academy in your second room is not far away, and it is very convenient to come and go, so your mother-in-law also lives in the clan now, and only occasionally asks Mei Jun to stay with the Yang family for a few days. When you go back to Huyin, you don't have to enter the county seat, just let Jin Kun take you directly to Xiejiajiao. There is a direct waterway, which is more convenient than going into the city. ”

Wen hurriedly responded. She had heard Xie Pu mention it countless times, and she had even seen the drawings that Xie Pu drew for the new family house when the clan rebuilt their residence in Xie Jiajiao eight years ago. In fact, Xie Pu funded this clan reconstruction project, but he was just hiding it from Mrs. Xie. At that time, Mrs. Xie heard the news of the flood in Xiejiawan, and gloated for a few days, but she couldn't let the clan know about it.

Xie Zeshan also mentioned the new house in the old hometown that the Wen family had never seen, which was much more spacious than the old house in Xiejiawan before, with many yards and gardens, which were built with good materials, and were specially invited from Suzhou by famous craftsmen, who were built very carefully. Although it is not necessarily more luxurious and comfortable than Guiyuan, it is not comparable to the ordinary gateway home. It's a pity that after the new house was built, except for Xie Pu, who had returned to Beijing to report on his work and went back to live for one night, he never welcomed the arrival of the master again, and now there are only two family members there to watch the house and maintain everything in the house.

Xie Zeshan sighed: "If you can go back, the new house will finally become popular, and we, the old men and old ladies, can feel at ease when we see it." Also, after you go back, remember to go and sweep the grave of the third brother first. Over the years, although Yuhe has sent people to worship every year, if you fail to kowtow to the tomb, the third brother will still feel lonely after all. Yuhe obviously has a large number of children, but no one has ever visited the third brother at the grave. When I think of this, I am wronged for my third brother. You don't have to listen to the nonsense of the third brother and sister in this matter, she doesn't abide by the way of women and disrespects her husband, can she still force others to learn from her etiquette? ! ”

As the head of the clan, Xie Zeshan naturally wanted to scold his brother-in-law and could scold, but the Wen family didn't dare to come out, so he hurriedly bowed his head and responded.

The brothers Xie Xianzhi and Xie Mulin, who were standing behind her, could only secretly figure out the meaning of Xie Zeshan's words, and did not dare to interject.

Xie Zeshan instructed the Wen family and his entourage, and instructed his grandson and granddaughter-in-law a lot of words, so accompanied by his grandson Xie Jinkun, he went out of the city to the dock and got on the boat to return to his hometown. Wen and others resigned from Xie Jinkun's wife, Ji, and went out without returning home, but took everyone back to the Xie family's mansion in Pearl Bridge first, sent Xie Yinghui home, and reported the news of Xie Zeshan's departure from Beijing to Mrs. Xie by the way.

When Mrs. Xie heard the news, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and she didn't want to hide her joy: "Really?" It's good he's gone! My son has been in office for so many days, and he still refuses to leave Jinling City, I thought he was going to settle down here. Now that the eyesore is finally gone, I finally don't have to worry about listening to him, and I can eat an extra bowl for dinner! ”

Wen Shi looked embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything.

Mrs. Xie didn't look at her expression, she only clasped her palms there, and suddenly glanced at a few grandchildren, and said with a smile: "Okay, Xie Zeshan is gone, you will leave in a few days, while the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, you can simply move back, just accompany me for the holiday." ”

Xie Mulin secretly screamed badly. Xie Huizhi was really a crow's mouth yesterday, and the old lady may have just left the gate of Jinling City, and the old lady Xie made a fuss, and she really had to guard against it!

She secretly glanced at Xie Jinzhi and Xie Hui, and unsurprisingly saw a look of chagrin on the latter's face.

Fortunately, Wen did not lose his mind to the point that she agreed to whatever Mrs. Xie said, and refused to say: "Most of the luggage at home has been packed, and it will be troublesome to move around." If the old lady misses her grandchildren, I will let them visit you more often every day. ”

Mrs. Xie snorted: "How troublesome is it to come and go every day?" On this hot day, the sun is screaming badly, and a few small bodies are not very healthy, running a few times a day, I am afraid that people have not yet set off to return to Huyin, so they will fall ill from heat stroke first, why bother? You always say that I don't know how to be sympathetic to my grandchildren, but now I am sympathetic, and you still don't appreciate it! ”

Wen was stunned, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

At this time, Xie Xianzhi remembered his responsibilities as the eldest grandson, and stepped forward and said to Mrs. Xie: "The grandson has thanked the old lady for her compassion on behalf of the younger brothers and sisters. The old lady pities her grandchildren, how can the grandchildren not be emotional? Walking back and forth in hot weather is indeed prone to heat stroke. But it's okay for us to come early in the morning and leave again in the evening to avoid the hottest part of the sun. If you live in a mansion, you are afraid of moving around, noisy and disturbing the old lady's tranquility, so how can the grandchildren and granddaughters be happy? ”

Xie Jinzhi also said: "Yes, old lady." It was easy for us to move back, but we were going to leave for our hometown in less than two days, wouldn't it disturb the old lady again? The nephew was terrified, but he really didn't dare. ”

Old Mrs. Xie stretched her face: "I know that you are not happy to accompany me, and you all just want to go back to Huyin to honor the mother-in-law surnamed Song!" You know that she has a good mother's family, knows many dignitaries and nobles, and is very capable, so she sticks it up, disgusting my wife and son! One or two are unfilial things! What kind of etiquette or rudeness is recited in my mouth, but I forget that I am your mother-in-law! No matter how big the etiquette is, can it still go beyond the blood relationship?! ”

Wen was immediately terrified, and he couldn't wait to kneel down immediately and beg the old lady for forgiveness.

Xie Mulin couldn't see it, hugged her, stopped her movements, stepped forward and said softly: "The old lady is serious, we went back to our hometown, it's really not to tie up with any powerful people, but my father has repeatedly instructed that he hasn't returned to his hometown to sweep the old lady's grave for many years, and he feels unfilial." The old lady is obviously full of children and grandchildren, but she has never seen a grandchild, so she must feel lonely under Jiuquan. Therefore, my father told us to go back to worship his old man, and also to do our filial piety for my father. ”

She raised her eyes and looked at Old Lady Xie: "The old lady must also miss the old lady very much, right?" Why don't you go back with us and go back to his old man's grave? The old lady must also be thinking about the old lady under Jiuquan, and he will be very happy to see the old lady! ”

Old Mrs. Xie only felt as if there was a yin wind blowing behind her, and she couldn't help but shiver, and suddenly her face changed greatly and she shut up.
