Chapter 153: Request
What should Xie Yinghui do?
Xie Pu suddenly fell silent. The rest of the people present also stopped talking.
After a long while, Xie Huizhi whispered, "She doesn't want to come back...... I went to talk to her girl, and she was kicked out, and she was called an ugly ......."
Xie Xianzhi showed a look of shame. In fact, he also told his sister Xie Yinghui that he wanted to go back to Xie's house, but Xie Yinghui's attitude at that time was not very good. treats him, the brother born by the same mother, and treats his cousin who is not very welcome, Xie Yinghui's attitude is even more unlikely. The Xie family did not give up on Xie Yinghui, but what Xie Yinghui did was too hurtful.
Xie Yingfen also whispered: "The eldest sister seems to like Pingnanbo Mansion very much, right?" Doesn't she still want to marry Pingnan Boshizi? Is she really willing to come back? In fact, Wanqin also talked to the two children about some Cao family gossip in private.
Xie Xianzhi couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed. Although he was under house arrest in Pingnanbo's mansion, he had also heard some rumors, so he knew that his sister liked Cao Wenheng, and he also knew that Pingnanbo and his wife had actively agreed with the Cao family about his sister's relationship with Cao Wenheng earlier, but now they no longer mention it. Whether this change in attitude means anything is clear to Ping Nanbo and his wife.
Even if Ping Nanbo and his wife did not mean to change the hexagram, Xie Xianzhi did not think that Cao Wenheng was a good match for his sister. This cousin has a rough temperament, and when he speaks well, he is straightforward, and when he speaks badly, he is impatient and willful. Maybe he has been familiar with Xie Yinghui since he was a child, and he has some childhood sweethearts, and he will coax her to be happy and play with her from time to time, but he is no longer an innocent child, as he grows older, he will become more and more like his father Ping Nanbo, who is greedy for profit and unscrupulous. How could he have a childhood friend in his eyes?
Cao Wenheng would not have been so contemptuous of Xie Yinghui's brother if he had a sincere heart for Xie Yinghui. That's definitely not the attitude towards the future wife and brother.
Xie Xianzhi also knew that Cao Wenheng was very close to the cousins of the Cheng family, and there were two girls in the house who had opened their faces, and there were also confidantes in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion outside. And this year, he is only fifteen years old. How can such a person become the husband of his sister?
Xie Xianzhi thought that his sister was still waiting for Cao Wenheng to fulfill the so-called "marriage contract", and in order to please the "future in-laws", he refused to return to Xie's house, and he was extremely anxious.
He pleaded with his father Xie Pu: "My sister is not sensible...... She is still young, and she has been coaxed by the Cao family for a long time, and she only thinks they are good people in her heart. And then there's the mother...... And the mother is here. My sister grew up with her mother since she was a child, and she was reluctant to leave her mother's side, so she refused to come back. I beg my father not to annoy my sister because of this, as long as my sister comes back to the house, we teach her well, and she will definitely change her mind! ”
Is this hoping that the Xie family will forcibly bring Xie Yinghui back?
Xie Mulin and the others were a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, they knew that the situation in Pingnanbo's Mansion was probably not good, so Xie Xianzhi was anxious for his sister, and would rather use coercive means to bring people back.
Xie Pu was silent. To tell the truth, that unfilial girl, he will take it home sooner or later, but now may not be a good time. The Cao family couldn't have an accident for a while, the Cao family had no son, and they were reluctant to send their daughter back, plus Xie Yinghui's unfilial daughter was blinded by lard again, and she blindly recognized the thief as her father...... always has to wait until the Cao family remarries Fang Wenshan, so that he can take his daughter back as a father. And now that he is in a hurry to take office, he has no time to entangle with Pingnanbofu, and he is afraid that it will affect the actions of the emperor......
The eldest daughter is only thirteen years old, and she is still early to get married. He still has time. If Xie Yinghui really lost his reputation because of Pingnan's son, it would be a big deal for him to choose a son-in-law with a reliable character and gentle temperament in other places, and it would not delay her life.
Thinking like this, Xie Pu had already made a decision: "It took a lot of effort for me to ask you to come back, not to mention that Sister Hui doesn't want to come back at all?" If I force her to go home, the family will not want to live a quiet life. I have already received the appointment document from the Ministry of Officials, and I will go to Beiping to take up my post in the near future, and I don't plan to bring my family to go, so you have to go back to my hometown with Uncle Zongfang for a few days. It's easy for me to bring your sister back, but what if she causes trouble at home for your mother, younger siblings, and the elders of the clan? ”
Xie Xian was speechless.
Xie Mulin interjected on the side: "Yes, big brother." Even if you go back and persuade your eldest sister to come back now, are you sure you can convince her? ”
Xie Xianzhi lowered his head in frustration. He wasn't sure, so he wanted to forcibly bring his sister back first.
Xie Pu patted the back of his hand: "Good boy, don't worry. Your sister can't suffer a lot in the Cao family. At least ninety percent of my Xie family's wealth fell into the hands of Ping Nanbo, and this silver is more than enough to feed your sister. She is your mother's flesh and blood, and your mother will not be hungry and cold her. Everyone knows that she is my Xie Pu's daughter, and no one can handle her life's events. I didn't make any commitment to her marriage that day, and I would carefully consider who I wanted to marry my daughter in the future. Your mother can't be the master in this matter. Your sister's daydreams are just dreams after all. "He won't let his daughter marry into the fire pit of the Cao family!
Xie Xianzhi looked at his father in surprise, a little excited.
Xie Pu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, I've been tired for a long time, are you hungry?" Let's eat first. After dinner, I'll take you to your grandmother. Her old man has been nagging you, for fear that you will suffer in the Cao family. She will be very happy to see you come back safe and sound. ”
Xie Xianzhi nodded with red eyes: "Yes, father." ”
Wen hurriedly beckoned Aunt Dajin to prepare for dinner. The brothers and sisters of the Xie family helped to set the tables, chairs and tableware. Xie Xianzhi was a little uncomfortable, but he still participated, clumsily lifted a stool, but was picked up by Xie Jinzhi, and pushed by Xie Huizhi with a smile on his father Xie Pu. They knew that their eldest brother had been away from home for so long, and they must have a lot to say to their father, and they were all happy to create opportunities.
Although Xie Xianzhi and his brothers were quite harmonious in the past, they had never been so talking, laughing, and affectionate, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
Xie Mulin saw that he seemed to be a little at a loss, which was very different from the gentle young man he saw in the upper room of Xie Mansion that day, and he thought it was quite interesting. She smiled and pointed to the corner of the envelope exposed in his arms: "Big brother, what is this?" Beware of falling out. ”
Xie Xianzhi looked down and hurriedly pulled out the envelope, he almost forgot about it: "Father, this is a letter of recommendation from Master Jiao, saying that you will know which academy you are going to send me to at a glance." ”
"Oh? Let me see. Xie Pu took the envelope, and sure enough, without looking at the content of the letter, he knew which academy Jiao Wenying wanted to recommend Xie Xianzhi to.
He smiled and said: "This recipient is Niu Daru of Zhushan Academy, he was quite familiar with Master Jiao and your great-grandfather Song Saijiu back then. It seems that Master Jiao directly recommended you to study in Zhushan Academy, which saved me my effort. It is convenient for you to go back to your hometown in Huyin with your mother and younger siblings, go to the academy with your younger brothers, and then take the exam directly in your hometown. ”
He stuffed the letter back into the eldest son's hand and smiled: "As long as your uncle is still in the capital, if you don't get a reputation for a day, don't set foot in Jinling City again." This is what the Father asks of you, and you can do it, right? After that, he turned his head to look at the second son, "It's the same." ”
Xie Pu, who achieved the fame of Jinshi before he reached the crown, didn't think this was an excessive request at all. But the brothers Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi were already frightened into a cold sweat.
I want to talk about "Mu Lin" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
