Xie Mulin really left, and he was still elated, and he not only took away the big girl Cuijiao, who was waiting for him, but also brought a few male and female servants who had been waiting in the old mansion for a long time by the way, and let them take turns to rest.

When Mrs. Xie got the news, the boats had already left the dock. Her old man was still angry, and she was bent on waiting for Xie Mulin to compensate, so when Xie Mulin came to say goodbye, she also took Qiao and refused to meet. Now that she heard that the person was really gone, she was a little panicked.

Mrs. Xie ran out of the gate of the old mansion in person, looking at her boat from afar, and suddenly her stomach was aggrieved and sad rushed to her throat, and she wanted to scold the dead girl who had no conscience.

But the people in the front yard all looked at her in surprise, how could Mrs. Xie, who had always respected her identity, lose her honor in front of them? With a straight face, he returned to the back building and sat down, and he couldn't help but scold: "Dead girl!" Bad girl! I said no, she really didn't say hello and left directly! She is deliberate, and she wants to anger me! I still think she's good, I'm really blind! ”

Pearl has been tossed by her a lot, and now she has calmed down a lot, and she is sure that her job will not be affected by Mrs. Xie's likes and dislikes, even if she leaves her job, she will not worry about her future, so she speaks a lot bolder: "Why is this so difficult, old lady?" You obviously know what kind of temper the second girl is, she has always been straightforward and does not play false. You don't want her to go, you want her to stay with you for the holidays, just say it. You said that it is not rare to have someone to accompany you, and she can really be your companion. As soon as you chase her, she will really leave! It's not the first time, so why haven't you gotten used to it? ”

Mrs. Xie flattened her mouth, feeling that her tears were about to come out: "Who wants to get used to this kind of thing?" Why do you want me to get used to it?! She is the junior, I am her own grandmother! She has never been the only one who listens to me, and there is no reason for me to revolve around her! ”

Pearl sighed: "So, won't the second girl listen to you now and go back to the new house to accompany the second old lady for the holidays?" What's the use of you regenerating your anger here? ”

Mrs. Xie picked up a teacup casually and threw it at the pearl: "Dead girl, now even you are angry with me!" ”

Pearl took the cup with one hand, lowered her head and did not speak. Seeing this, Mrs. He hurriedly stepped forward and pushed her without a trace, blocked her in front of her, and smiled at Mrs. Xie: "Don't be angry, old lady, this girl Pearl is young and not sensible!" ”

Pearl quickly took the cup in her hand and slipped out with her head down.

Mrs. Xie was actually in no mood to worry about pearls. Why didn't she know that what Pearl said made sense? It's just that I can't swallow this breath in my heart. She was obviously so good to Xie Mulin, she almost agreed to leave her private jewelry to this junior who was only a nephew and granddaughter in name, but what was the result? The other party refused to go to Beijing with her, nor did he want to leave anyone else, and came to the old house to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her. She only felt that her sincerity had been eaten by dogs, and she was really wronged.

Mrs. He persuaded her: "Why is the old lady so angry? Although the words of the second girl are not good, but if you think about it carefully, it is also for the sake of the old lady. You also know in your heart that the second girl is sincerely filial to you, don't look at her unkind words, and sometimes she refuses to listen to your instructions, but if you don't really want to be good, why bother to let the new house live, run to this old house in the barren mountains and mountains, and serve you for two months? Your health is getting better day by day, you have an appetite for eating, you have energy to walk, and you are full of energy when you speak, which is very different from the appearance when you first returned to Huyin. Isn't this all the credit of the second girl? ”

Mrs. Xie pursed her lips and said reluctantly: "She is still a little filial, but unfortunately her temperament is too awkward." If you want to be filial, how can you not be filial to the end? She was reluctant to leave her mother and brother, and refused to leave a large family to accompany me back to Beijing. asked her to accompany me for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but she refused to agree, and asked me to reconcile with the clan...... Phew! Who wants to pay for those country buns, right? I didn't do anything wrong!

"Although I didn't say hello to the clan back then, I sold the property, but the property is my own, and I can sell it if I want to, why should the clan scold me? Don't you think that if I sell my property, they won't have anywhere to make money? When the old lady was alive, he was willing to let the clan shine, that was his business. I don't want to, who says I'm wrong? I'm a widow who is unemployed, and I still have to support my son to study for the imperial examination, and I'm impatient to run an industry, can't I sell it? The big men in the clan, why do they suck my blood and curse people?! ”

Mrs. He tugged at the corners of her mouth, lowered her voice and said, "The old lady naturally has the old lady's reason for this." But before the old lady died, he also gave an explanation. The old lady sells the property, doesn't say hello, only acts in secret, and hides from the master, doing it under the banner of the master, and almost makes the master a loser...... It is not unreasonable for the clan to blame you for these things. Not to mention anything else, just the old lady's last words can't be explained. ”

Old Lady Xie's waist suddenly couldn't straighten up, and her face drooped: "I...... I also have no choice...... Besides, I'm Ah Pu's mother, he was still young at the time, and I made the decision for him to dispose of the family's property, which is also just, who can say that mine is not? ”

Mrs. He smiled and said, "The old lady is naturally qualified to make decisions for the master, but back then...... It would be nice to say hello to the clan beforehand. If those clansmen who have invested in the shares can withdraw their share capital, and the clansmen who work in our family's property can also find a good messenger elsewhere in time, then they have no reason to blame you for selling their own property. Besides, if it hadn't been sold too quickly, those industries would have been able to get more silver. When the master redeems the shop and Zhuangzi a few years later, he doesn't have to lose so much. ”

Mrs. Xie felt more and more empty-hearted: "I was in a hurry to leave, so I didn't care about these things...... Aren't they all forced by Zongfang and the Song family?! I was just afraid that they would come to find me, so I snatched Ah Pu away, and I didn't allow him to recognize me as a mother, so I was in a hurry to leave. Otherwise, how could I be willing to sell those properties at a low price? I can make a lot of money every year! ”

He Pozi sighed: "The old lady is indeed not easy. After a pause, "But now that things have passed for so long, no matter how angry the sect room and the second room are, they have long since disappeared." As for the other clansmen, they have been favored by the lord for more than ten years, where are they embarrassed to continue to get along with you? In fact, what the second girl said is not bad, taking advantage of the festival, the big guy is happy, you meet with the people in the clan, say a few soft words, and this matter will be mixed. No one will deliberately make noise during the festival and ruin everyone's interest. And as long as this festival passes, who will be able to settle accounts with you in the future?

"So everyone is happy, you like to live in the old house, you live in the old house, you like to go back to the new house to live, you can go back. If you want the younger generations of the clan to come to you and laugh and have fun, you can just tell it. The second girl is busy with homework, the wife has a lot of things, several young masters have to go to school, and the fourth girl, Aunt Qin, you don't like it...... Since your body is well, there is no place to visit in this old mansion, you can only nest in the yard in a daze all day, what's the point? If you can have the grandmothers and girls of the clan to relieve your boredom in front of you, you won't be so bored this day? ”

Old Lady Xie's heart moved slightly, but she still stiffened her neck and shook her head: "Who is rare?" I don't want to talk softly to the Xie family. If they come and flatter me, it will be fine. I was a magnanimous man, and I would not have bothered with them. ”

Mrs. He secretly glanced at her, knowing that she had always loved to socialize, but she had actually been shaken.
