Chapter 210: Showing Kindness
Xie Mulin walked out of the main room and let out a sigh.
Although I don't know that her flickering can make Wen's persist for a few days, it has finally left the impression in Wen's mind that "resisting Mrs. Xie is for the sake of her old man", and it should be easier to persuade Wen's in the future. Wen's psychological barrier to Mrs. Xie's habitual fear of obedience was also easier to overcome.
Xie Jinzhi didn't know when he came to the courtyard and smiled at his sister: "Second sister has worked hard, it's really not easy to convince my mother." ”
As soon as Xie Mulin heard this, he knew that he must have listened to what had happened outside the house, and he didn't care: "I hope my mother can really change, otherwise I really don't know if we can return to our hometown smoothly." As soon as the uncle and grandfather left, the old lady really made a fuss. This one after another, I don't know when it's a head. How many days is there left for the Dragon Boat Festival? I just hope that the festival will pass soon, so we can leave quickly. ”
Xie Jinzhi smiled: "It's not a few days, be patient, it will pass soon." ”
Xie Mulin thought a little pessimistically, a few days would have passed quickly, but the thought that they might have to go to the Pearl Bridge every day to greet Mrs. Xie couldn't help but make people feel like they were living like a year. A few years, how can it be fast?
Fortunately, the next day, Aunt Dajin moved back to the mansion in Pearl Bridge. Her reason was that she couldn't rest assured that the third girl, Xie Yingrong, wanted to go over to take care of the children as soon as possible and be filial to the old lady, but after she moved back, although Mrs. Xie still didn't want to see her background, she livened up the atmosphere and laughed and funny, Mrs. Xie's attention was diverted, not only staring less at Xie Yingrong, but even the grandchildren who came to ask for peace such as Wen and Xie Xianzhi, Xie Jinzhi, Xie Mulin, Xie Huizhi and others seemed to be a lot less picky. Xie Mulin and the others breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that life was much easier and happier than they imagined.
Even Xie Yinghui said to Xie Xianzhi and Xie Mulin in private: "I see that in the past two days, the third sister seems to have been a little more relaxed. A few days ago, the old lady always picked on her thorns and scolded her at every turn, and I saw that she was about to cry, strange and pitiful. Because I think the old lady hurts me now as well as before, even if I open my mouth to plead, the old lady may not listen, and it may be angry at me, I don't want to get into trouble, so I didn't reach out to help the third sister, and I was still a little embarrassed. Now that Aunt Jin is back, she has finally been freed from the trouble, and I feel a little better. ”
Xie Xianzhi and Xie Mulin glanced at each other, and they tacitly did not say anything about Xie Yingrong's stealing. Because Xie Mulin stopped it in time, the jewelry in Xie Yinghui's house was not lost, and Xie Xian took someone to tidy up the house after the incident, so that after Xie Yinghui moved back, he never found that there were people in the house. Therefore, her perception of Xie Yingrong is similar to before, and because she has more contact with the Xie family's siblings now, she has also become a little closer to this sister who used to look down on her. If she knew what Xie Yingrong had done, she was afraid that she would turn her face on the spot, and she would scold people even more than Mrs. Xie.
Xie Xianzhi and Xie Mulin thought that the two sisters would live under the same roof for the next few years and support each other, so they didn't plan to destroy their fragile sisterhood.
Xie Xianzhi also persuaded Xie Yinghui: "Next time, let's help appease the old lady and plead for the third sister." The old lady is willing to listen to you and not mention it, as long as you have this heart, the third sister can get closer to you a little more. You didn't have a good relationship with your siblings in the past, so it's time to make up for it. Otherwise, in the future, the two of you will stay in Beijing to serve the old lady together, what if the relationship is too weak? ”
Xie Yinghui thought for a while, pouted and said, "Okay, anyway, the old lady will just scold me at most, and she can't do anything with me." I don't live in Jinxuan Hall, I can't sit still, I can walk away with my feet. I saw that the old lady was not so leisurely, and chased me to my yard. ”
She remembered that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, so she asked Xie Xianzhi's family what arrangements they had: "In previous years, we all had to go to the Qinhuai River to watch the dragon boat race, or we would go to the palace to eat zongzi, or participate in the banquet in the Chengenhou Mansion or the Pingnanbo Mansion." This year, my father is not here, Pingnan Bofu has to keep filial piety, Chengenhou Mansion has not notified us, let alone the palace, it is estimated that we can't take the turn of any banquet, but the dragon boat race of the Qinhuai River, we can still go and have a look, right? ”
Xie Xianzhi: "I watch it every year, what if I don't watch it for a year?" There are so many things happening at home this year, even if you go to the Qinhuai River, you may not be able to talk and play with your good friends, so you might as well stay at home. These days, don't you still say that it's too hot, and the ice is hard to buy, and you don't want to go out? Why do you have to go to the Qinhuai River to bask in the sun? ”
Xie Yinghui pursed her lips, but didn't say much.
When Xie Xianzhi and Xie Mulin left, she was bored in her yard, and took the opportunity to accompany Mrs. Xie to dinner, and tentatively asked about the arrangements for the festival. In previous years, Mrs. Xie also wanted to watch the dragon boat race, and there was also the habit of asking the old ladies and old feudal lords of other families to go to the familiar Taoist temple to play Jiao and watch the play. If she has a similar plan this year, even if she doesn't have such a big plan, she only needs to go out and watch the play, which is enough to relieve Xie Yinghui's boredom.
However, Mrs. Xie stretched her face, indicating that there was nothing, no Jiao, and no play.
She originally made an appointment with the ladies of Huiyuan Street to hold a church meeting during the Dragon Boat Festival, and invited a group of small operas to come to the house to have fun. A few days after she moved back, the gang on Huiyuan Street seemed to have forgotten her, and even the wives and grandmothers who had been flattering her in the past did not move. She was in a bad mood, and she didn't want to spend money to be a host, so she pulled down her face and posted to invite people. When those people take the initiative to visit her and compensate her, she will mention the matter of the church again. This Dragon Boat Festival is too hot, she would rather stay at home and relax!
Xie Yingrong sent a bird's nest soup, and after listening to Mrs. Xie's words, she couldn't help but remember that she had planned to use a few small banquets to get closer to Mrs. Bian and officially get to know Cheng Du by the way, but now they all died. On the Bian family's side, I don't know if I can continue to make friends. Mrs. Xie stared too closely, and now that the two families were far away, it was difficult for her to send a letter to Miss Bian in private, and she couldn't help but feel depressed.
After this distraction, she almost dropped the bird's nest soup, and Mrs. Xie was furious: "I can't do this little thing well, what do you want?!" What else would you do but steal chickens and dogs?! ”
The scolding was too ugly, Xie Yingrong's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly put down the bird's nest soup, retreated to the side, and bowed his head to listen to the training.
Xie Yinghui didn't think much about it, remembered what her brother said before, and took the initiative to laugh and play a round: "Don't be angry, old lady, the third sister is just stupid, not intentionally." This bird's nest soup will be eaten this time, it will be very cool, if you put it for a while, I am afraid that it will be warm. Would you like to try it? ”
This is just a trivial matter, Mrs. Xie gave Xie Yinghui face and spared Xie Yingrong. Aunt Dajin rushed over when she heard the sound, and hurriedly smiled and reversed the conversation, and personally waited for Mrs. Xie to eat bird's nest soup, not to mention how attentive and thoughtful, all kinds of rainbow farts also came with her mouth open, coaxing Mrs. Xie to smile.
When Xie Yinghui saw this pomp, she hurriedly found an excuse, pulled Xie Yingrong up, and the sisters withdrew from the house together.
Bypassing the hand-copying verandah, Xie Yinghui tried to show her sister-in-law: "Third sister, don't care. It was too hot on this day, and the old lady would inevitably be grumpy. Those words she swears, just listen to them, don't take them to heart. ”
She really wants to be a good sister. It's just that Xie Yingrong stared at her a few times, and suddenly showed a somewhat stiff smile: "Big sister, do you think it's boring to be at home all day?" Or...... You go and ask the old lady, I'll go out for a walk with you, how about you relax? ”
