Chapter 61: Turnaround
By the time Wanqin came back, Xie Mulin had already reviewed a few familiar knotting methods, and reviewed the current popular knotting methods in Xie Yingzhen's memory, and even used the silk thread tools in Wanqin's needlework basket to simulate the technique of braiding the knots a little, and felt that he could not show his timidity in front of others.
The current level of weaving is much higher than that taught in the book in the study space, but there are also a few rare patterns on the book, which are estimated to have been "invented" later. Xie Mulin was a master in elementary school, not only learned from his classmates around him, but also read the books his mother bought, and even went to the boutique on the street to study the woven jewelry sold by others, learned a lot of tricks, and was good at matching colors and small accessories. A classmate once asked her to weave a knot bracelet at a price of 20 yuan a piece. It's a pity that she didn't earn enough 100 yuan before she was found out by her mother and stopped.
Xie Mulin felt that with his craftsmanship back then, combined with Xie Yingzhen's memory, he made up the network and asked Li Xianglang to sell it, and it should not be unsalable. Although the rope materials used in the two eras are different, the weaving method is the same, so if you practice it, you will soon be able to get started.
Xie Mulin was much more confident, and when she heard Wanqin coming back, she had already hidden the book, only took Wanqin's needle and thread in her hand, helped sew a few stitches, and asked with a low smile: "Why did my aunt come back so soon?" ”
Wanqin touched her sideburns and replied in a low voice: "After walking around, I am much more energetic." Sister Zhang also invited me to eat some snacks. And when I had eaten and drunk, I returned. If you want to rest, there is also a bed here, and I can squeeze with the four girls. In my house...... Sister Jin is busy making clothes with the three girls, how can I disturb them? "Actually, I don't want to watch Aunt Jin's goddaughter.
Xie Mulin just asked casually, and when he heard the words, he didn't persuade him more, and only reported the condition of the three little patients after Wanqin left.
The three of them were still asleep, but during this period, Xie Hanzhi and Xie Yingfen both woke up and asked for water to drink. There was still warm boiled water in the kettle on the table, Xie Mulin poured out a little, took a small soup spoon and fed the two of them separately. When they had finished drinking, they fell asleep again.
Wanqin looked at a pair of children, and saw that their little faces were bloody, and Xie Hanzhi's lips were not so dry, and she was even happier in her heart, and thanked Xie Mulin again: "The second girl has worked hard." ”
Xie Mulin smiled: "It's just where the responsibility lies, I don't dare to say that it's hard." ”
Wanqin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again.
Xie Jinzhi groaned in a low voice, Xie Mulin immediately got up and walked over, and when he saw that he opened his eyes, he asked repeatedly: "Second brother, what do you think?" Still uncomfortable? Still dizzy? Would you like to drink water? Hungry or not? ”
Xie Jinzhi's eyes were at a loss, and after a few moments, he came to his senses: "Second sister......" He looked around and remembered that this was in Sister Zhang Qiao's house, and it was very safe.
Xie Jin's heart was fixed, and he began to feel the discomfort on his body, and tried to speak again: "Is there water?" "The voice was hoarse.
Xie Mulin hurriedly poured half a glass of water and helped him sit up and feed. After Xie Jinzhi finished drinking, he still felt that it was not enough, Wanqin hurriedly brought the pot over, helped pour half a cup, and Xie Mulin fed him to drink it again.
Xie Mulin knew that Xie Jinzhi had slept for so long, and there was a charcoal basin burning in the house all the time, he would definitely feel very dry in his mouth, and he had to replenish a little more water at this time. She motioned to Wanqin to pour water for herself again, and at the same time whispered to Xie Jinzhi the latest news: "Second brother, don't worry, my mother and I have taken the third brother to see my father in the prison of Dali Temple, and I have told him all about the situation at home." He said he knew what to expect, and told us to just wait at home for news. He also asked his mother and me to take good care of you and your fourth brother, and cured your illness as soon as possible, so that he would not worry about you. ”
When Xie Jinzhi heard this, his eyes suddenly widened: "Really? You've already met Daddy? Daddy is all right? ”
Xie Mulin nodded, and fed him half a glass of water: "Second brother, do you still want to drink?" Dr. Li came to see you at noon and changed the prescription, which seems to be better than the previous one, how do you feel about it? Isn't it so uncomfortable? ”
Xie Jinzhi coughed twice, gasped and said: "It's really much better, I'm not as dizzy as before, but my throat is dry as if it was burning, and my stomach is very hungry." ”
Wanqin hurriedly said: "I'll go to the kitchen and get some hot porridge." "Sister Zhang Qiao has been warming a crockpot of white rice porridge on the kitchen stove with a low fire, and preparing a few little patients to eat at any time, which is ready-made.
After Wanqin left, Xie Mulin saw that the other two younger siblings were not awake, so he whispered in Xie Jinzhi's ear: "Daddy said that he knows his case, and the people in Dali Temple also know it, and they won't wronged him." It won't take long for him to come out, but this matter can't be known to the Cao family for the time being. The second brother just knows it in his heart, don't do it in front of others. ”
Xie Jinzhi instantly understood his sister's hint, was she guarding against Aunt Wanqin? Thinking of Wanqin's identity, he nodded silently, indicating that he understood, and did not say much.
However, Xie Pu made it clear that he would be able to come out soon, which obviously meant that the Xie family's predicament would soon be over. This good news lifted Xie Jinzhi's spirits, and a smile appeared on his face. His father's concern for him made him even more determined that he must recuperate well and strive to recover his health before his father is released from prison, so that he can welcome his father's return with spirit.
Xie Mulin actually didn't know if Xie Pu would be released from prison soon, but that didn't prevent her from telling a white lie to Xie Jinzhi. Give this boy a little more hope, cheer him up, make him feel better, and it will also help his condition better. When he recovers and knows the truth, there will be no big problem.
Xie Jinzhi drank water and sweated on his body, Xie Mulin took off his dry clothes, and after making sure that he could handle it himself, he went out to avoid it. When Wanqin came back with porridge, they entered the room together. Xie Jinzhi had already changed into his middle coat at this time, but after a short period of fatigue, he was already out of breath, and his hands and feet were weak. Shermulin hurriedly began to feed him porridge. Wanqin took out his changed clothes by the way.
Halfway through the porridge, Wen came over. She was delighted to see that her son's complexion had improved, and began to wipe away tears again: "Great...... My mother was so worried. It's all my mother's fault, you're so sick, but your mother left you to do something else......"
Xie Jinzhi smiled weakly: "Mother, don't say that." You're doing the right thing, and it's more important to be down to business. My son's this is just a little cold and a little illness, after taking medicine, he will be fine after two days, and his mother doesn't have to worry. ”
Xie Mulin also came to comfort Wen, who wiped his tears and nodded, "Okay, I won't cry anymore." Good boy, you are so born and raised. When you are well, I will go with you to visit your father, and let him know that you are okay, so that he can rest assured. ”
Xie Jinzhi responded, took his sister's hand, ate the porridge in the bowl, and asked when he would take the medicine.
Wanqin entered the door and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it in the evening, the second young master has only eaten once in the afternoon." ”
Wen told his daughter: "Huizhi has gone to the Jiang family. I really don't know this in my heart, I just hope that the Jiang family is a true gentleman. ”
Xie Jinzhi was stunned: "What's the matter?" Xie Mulin told the cause of the incident, Xie Jinzhi sighed and didn't say much.
Wanqin paused for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the Jiang family can't believe it. The second girl's family business, most of which can't be saved. Mrs. Jiang is actually optimistic about the youngest daughter of the Wang family, and when the marriage contract of the second young master Jiang is resolved, she will propose to the Wang family, and it is a matter of time before the contract is broken. ”
The Wen family and Xie Mulin were very stunned, it was expected that the Jiang family would break the contract, but the youngest daughter of the Wang family? Which royal family? It can't be Wang Angui's daughter, right?!
Xie Jinzhi asked Wanqin sharply: "What does this mean?!" ”
