Chapter 124: Panic
Wen was so surprised that he couldn't help but glance back at his children. She didn't come yesterday, but listening to the children, Mrs. Xie shouldn't have any signs of illness?
Xie Xianzhi was also very surprised: "How can this be? I didn't see any discomfort on the old lady yesterday, could it be that she was cold at night and had a cold? "This is the most likely scenario.
Xie Jinzhi said; "Can you get a doctor? What did the doctor say? ”
Xie Yingrong hesitated for a moment and did not answer. Wen was so anxious that he immediately went into the house to see the old lady Xie, and said, "I will go in lightly, and I won't disturb her old man's house!" ”
Xie Yingrong saw that none of them were stopped by herself, so she had to block the way of the Wen family, pulled the person back to the courtyard, and whispered: "Madam, now the old lady says that she is not good, and she doesn't need to ask a doctor or let her family go to see her, you and your brothers and sisters just act according to her wishes, why bother going against her wishes?" If her old man is not satisfied, she will never say that his wife and brothers and sisters are filial! ”
Wen was even more stunned: "What the hell is going on?" Is it possible to be angry that we are going back to our hometown? ”
Xie Yingrong stopped talking with a face, but he just refused to give a clear answer.
Xie Mulin glanced at her a few times, and from her exaggerated acting skills, he concluded that this girl was pretending, and asked Pearl who was guarding the door with a slight sigh: "The old lady really said that she didn't want to see us?" ”
Pearl glanced at Xie Yingrong and nodded: "That's what the old lady ordered, and she also wants us to release the news that she is seriously ill." We persuaded the old lady that we hadn't done it yet. ”
Xie Mulin almost wanted to roll his eyes, if Mrs. Xie was really seriously ill, would the Wen family and them still be able to leave Beijing smoothly? also specially released the news, which is clearly to dig a pit for them and give them a charge of unfilial piety and abandonment! Is there such a ruthless grandmother? This is not to make a temper and force her children and grandchildren to stay and serve by her side, but to directly cut off the future of her grandchildren's study and imperial examination!
Xie Mulin said unceremoniously: "If the old lady is really seriously ill, our brothers and sisters will never leave." Even if my mother, second brother and I can go, the eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother and fourth sister must also stay to serve the sick, otherwise it will be unfilial. The old lady still has to put out the news, but we have already booked the ship for tomorrow. Once it gets out, how are the brothers going to study for the imperial examination? The reputation and future of this life are going to be ruined!
"If the old lady is really reluctant to us, and she desperately loses her trust in front of the sect and her father, so that the eldest brother is disgusted by the Jiao Yintai who recommended him to enroll, we will admit it, just stay. Even if the Cao family retaliates in the future, uprooting our family and cutting off the incense of the old lady and the old lady, the family will die in one place, and they will not be lonely under Jiuquan. But if the old lady doesn't say a word, she will ruin the future of her grandchildren, which is too ruthless. Could it be that the brothers will go well in the imperial examination in the future and have fame, won't it add glory to the old lady's face? Why did the old lady have to stop them from getting ahead?! ”
Of course, Pearl would not answer Xie Mulin's words, but there was a voice from the room that Old Lady Xie could no longer bear it: "You dead girl, don't talk nonsense!" When am I going to ruin my grandchildren's future? I just want people outside to know that I'm sick, and nothing outside has anything to do with me! Where do you have such a bad heart as you think?! If I really wanted to stop you from leaving, I would have spoken a long time ago, and you really dare to disobey?! ”
This time, Xie Mulin really couldn't help but roll his eyes. The old lady wanted to save face, and she didn't bother to quarrel with her.
Wen and the others have already seen it at this time, dare to love the old lady Xie is pretending to be sick? But what reason did she have to do that? He did such an unclever job that he almost injured his grandchildren by mistake.
Xie Yingrong frowned slightly, glanced at Xie Mulin with resentment, turned around and lifted the curtain and entered the house. I don't know what she said to Mrs. Xie, but after a while, she walked out and whispered to Wen's party: "Madam, the old lady also has her own difficulties, but she used the wrong method in a moment of confusion." If you don't think it's strange, how about I accompany you and your brothers and sisters to the front room and explain it to you? ”
Since Mrs. Xie is not sick, of course Wen will not have to go into the house to visit. She has been brought up by Mrs. Xie since she was ten years old, and she has long been accustomed to obeying her mother-in-law's orders. She didn't object to Xie Yingrong's suggestion, she only took her children to respectfully greet Mrs. Xie in the house outside the window, finished the courtesy, and waited for a while to confirm that Mrs. Xie had no other instructions, before leaving with a group of juniors.
When they found a small flower hall in the front yard of Jin Xuantang and sat down, Xie Yingrong told Mrs. Xie's "hardships".
For example, the day before yesterday, the Taoist temple and his party only heard the rumors afterwards.
Another example is that their ancestors and grandchildren once met the daughter of the Zhao family at that time, but after the two sides separated, it was very likely that they bumped into the two parties involved in the private meeting.
For example, they heard that this matter had gone to the harem, and the queen mother, the eldest princess, the Zhao family, and the Bofu were involved. It is said that the parties to the private meeting are not small, and their identities must not be exposed, once outsiders know, the palace will definitely consider killing people! Aren't Old Lady Xie and Xie Yingrong, who are half-insiders, very dangerous?!
Mrs. Xie wanted to pretend to be sick, just to let the nobles spare her, forget her existence, and not worry about her. She doesn't have the intention to break people's hearts, and she won't talk nonsense outside, how can she be willing to die?!
Xie Yingrong said worriedly: "Sister Pearl and I have been persuading her, our family left early, and we haven't heard any news, just if there is no such thing, it will be over, and no one will say that they don't know." If the old lady had to let people outside know that she was seriously ill, it would be easy to attract attention. It is inevitable that some people will wonder if the old lady knows some secrets to be scared and sick? Wouldn't that be a troublemaker? But the old lady was really afraid, so Sister Pearl and I coaxed her first, but in fact we didn't say a word. The old lady is frightened now, and it is estimated that she will recuperate at home for a while, just wait for the wind to pass. The wife and the elder brothers and sisters just go back to their hometowns, and the old lady has the eldest sister and me here, and it will be fine. ”
Wen sighed: "It turns out that the old lady is really worried about the rumors outside. If we had known this, we should have told the old lady the news we had heard, and she would have been able to rest assured. ”
Xie Yingrong's eyes flashed slightly: "What news did Mrs. hear?" Can you tell me? I'm going to report to the old lady. Now she doesn't want to see others, but she can still listen to my words. ”
Xie Mulin glanced at her, and his heart was so big.
Wen didn't think much about it, and only told the news that Xie Xianzhi, Xie Jinzhi, Xie Mulin and Xie Huizhi's four children had told her before, but did not reveal Bai's name, only said what happened, and there were several forces to stir up. The Xie family is just a little transparent, and no one pays attention to them at all. Even if someone really wants to kill people and kill them, those sons and sons of the Xie family brothers who report the situation will be the priority target, who will be idle and have nothing to do with the Xie family?
However, she didn't know about the bamboo house, and it was Xie Mulin's turn to speak: "It is impossible for the two to have a private meeting in the bamboo house, you met Young Master Xiao from the General Mansion of the Pillar Kingdom, and I also met later, isn't it the eldest son of Uncle Qishan in the house?" What does it have to do with those two people in a private meeting? ”
"But......" Xie Yingrong said in a hesitant manner, "didn't you say that the eldest son of Uncle Qishan went up the mountain?" How could it be there? This is a paradoxical statement. That person just called himself Young Master Xiao, who knows if it's true or not? Maybe it's the second son of Qishan Bofu who is pretending? Didn't you say that Young Master Xiao and the eldest prince of Qishan Bofu were friends, and they were at odds with the second son? It is not impossible for the second son to casually assume his name. If not, why wouldn't the people in the bamboo hut show up? claimed to be Young Master Xiao, why did he stop us from entering? This is clearly a ghost! ”
