After more than ten years, Mrs. Xie finally grabbed a handle from the Song family in the second room, thinking that she could depreciate it and get addicted, but she was still poked in the sore spot by her granddaughter Xie Mulin's words, and she couldn't say anything.

Xie Zechuan and the husband that the Song family found for their daughter were just not very dedicated to the Xie family, which made the Xie family's daughter a little angry with her mother-in-law, but it would not hurt her muscles and bones, and it can even be said that Xie Meijun and Yang Yiquan are still a loving couple. Even if Xie Zechuan and the Song family advocated that the daughter-in-law Wen who hired Xie Pu had many shortcomings, she was a really virtuous and docile woman who was wholeheartedly devoted to Xie Pu. But what about the Cao family that Mrs. Xie picked?

The Xie family was almost destroyed because of the Cao family, and the Cao family not only dug up a million taels of silver from the Xie family to supplement the Cao family, but also had an external heart from the beginning, and only thought about the wild man outside in his heart, and had no true feelings for Xie Pu at all.

Where does Mrs. Xie dare to talk about her own daughter-in-law? What confidence do you have to laugh at the vision of the second room to pick a son-in-law?

Mrs. Xie finally stopped coughing, covered her chest, and only felt that her heart, liver, spleen and lungs were hurting: "Dead girl!" You know how to prick your old grandmother's heart! How long has the Cao family been away from our Xie family? You're going to talk about her! If you have the ability, you dare to say such things in front of your big brothers and sisters! ”

Xie Mulin smiled: "It's not that I don't have the ability to say this kind of thing in front of them, but it's unnecessary." The Cao family didn't know where to go for a long time, and the Xie family was not successful in calculating at the beginning, why should I make the eldest brother and sister unhappy for this kind of person? Old lady, I am also provocative when I speak, and I will not be stupid enough to speak with anyone at will. That is, in front of the old lady, I will speak frankly. After all, old lady, you love me the most, and of course I have no scruples in front of you. ”

Mrs. Xie choked again.

was choked by Xie Mulin, and Mrs. Xie finally stopped talking about the gossip in the second room. Even when Xie Huizhi came to see her again, she didn't ask him to help inquire about gossip, but instead let Xie Huizhi listen to the gossip from the Yang family, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Xie Huizhi communicated with Xie Mulin privately for this reason, and felt that the gossip news of the Yang family had little to do with them, as long as it did not involve the eldest master of Yang Weisi Yang in Yangzhou, and it would not damage the second uncle Yang Yiquan, the Yang family asked Mrs. Xie to laugh a few words, and they should watch the show.

So Xie Huizhi happily moved back to the new house, and privately inquired about the rumors of the Yang family, while Xie Mulin stayed in the old house, stayed with Mrs. Xie for two days, chatted with her, asked the kitchen to stew some soup for her, and then signaled to the Lu Yao family to find someone to make her two new winter coats for the occasion or something. Two days passed in a flash.

Xie Mulin was about to go back to the clan for the holiday, so he went to say goodbye to Mrs. Xie. Old Lady Xie was wrapped in a gorgeous autumn dress brought from Jinling City, with a few beads on her head, and a delicate small hand stove in her hand—in fact, it was far from the season of burning charcoal for heating, so she just held it and made a look—and said sourly: "This is going back?" Tomorrow is the right day, so I can't wait to leave? I still thought that if you can stay with me for the holiday this year, I will reward you with a big red envelope. In previous years, only your eldest brother and sister had this blessing, but this year there is an extra you, and even your own brother has no share. It's a pity that you don't seem to have this blessing. ”

Xie Mulin smiled and saluted Mrs. Xie: "Take care of your old man, drink less wine, and eat less cakes for a few months." That thing is heavy on oil and sugar, and eating too much is not good for your health, so eating a little bit is a meaning. You can eat more fruits, but be careful not to spoil your stomach. ”

Old Mrs. Xie suddenly blushed, and she was too busy to catch up with people: "Who has a bad stomach?" There are no good words that come out of the dead girl's mouth, so get out of here! ”

Xie Mulin smiled and turned to leave.

Mrs. Xie scolded happily, and when the people were really gone, she was a little reluctant, ran to the door and stretched her neck to look, and suddenly became aggrieved: "It's really an immature white-eyed wolf, why is it really gone?" ”

Pearl was already used to it, and calmly stepped forward to put a gorgeous cloak on her: "The old lady is careful and windy. The wind here at the door is much cooler than in the house. ”

Mrs. Xie impatiently shook off the cloak, walked back to the table and sat down, looked at her body, raised her hand to touch her hair, and sighed: "These are all old things, and I haven't made new clothes or new jewelry at all this year." The situation at home is really not what it used to be. I sit in this old mansion, even though the house has been renovated, but I still feel deserted and depressed. ”

He Pozi smiled and gave her warm ginger jujube tea: "Look at what you said, this newly renovated house is very new." The second girl didn't know what kind of white ash was used to call someone, and she painted all the walls in the house once, it looked bright and decent, and it looked brighter than the Jin Xuantang where we lived in Beijing, where was it down? As for the clothes on the old lady's body and the jewelry on her head, which one is not gorgeous and decent? Even if it's not new, taking it out is far from what a shop in a place like Huzhou can take. In Manhuyin County, there is only the old lady alone. When the people outside see it, who doesn't envy it? ”

"Then it must be seen by people outside." Old Lady Xie pursed her lips, "Otherwise, if I nest alone in the courtyard, no matter how gorgeous and rich I dress, I can't even see the people outside the courtyard, what's the point?" ”

Pearl blinked and whispered, "What does the old lady mean ......"

"I didn't mean anything!" Mrs. Xie straightened her face again, and poured the whole bowl of ginger jujube tea to herself with some anger, but she couldn't help but grow grass in her heart.

Xie Mulin, who returned to Xiejiajiao, immediately threw himself into the busy preparations for the festival of the whole family. She helped her mother Wen tidy up the newly opened Buddhist hall at home, looked at the unfamiliar ancestral tablets on the offering table, and put the last bottle of flowers in her hand at the end of the offering table.

Wen Shi bowed to the tablets, and his face showed joy: "This year, we can finally worship all our ancestors openly." In previous years, the number of ceremonies was always incomplete, and I didn't dare to make a big show, and I always felt uneasy in my heart. ”

Xie Mulin saw the tablets of Xie Zechuan and Xie Zehu placed side by side on the offering table, and knew what was going on, so he smiled: "Are we going to worship separately from the second room?" ”

Wen thought for a while: "We have to sacrifice once in our own house, and then once with the second room, and finally go to the ancestral hall with the clansmen." The main thing is that your brothers should follow the elders to make a big salute, and our female dependents should stay with the female relatives in the other room. If there is anything, you will listen to your aunt and uncle, and your grandmother. ”

In fact, Wen only stayed in Huyin's hometown for a few days after marriage, and before that, she lived in the Xie family as a fiancée, and would not participate in the Xie family's sacrificial activities at all, so she was quite unfamiliar with it. But it doesn't matter, there are a lot of elders above, she is a housemother at home, but she is just a young junior in the clan, just listen to the elders, don't panic.

So Xie Mulin listened to Wen's meaning, pulled the fourth sister Xie Yingfen, followed behind the female elders in the sect room and the second room, and participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
