Chapter 639: Idea
Xie Huizhi's idea sounds simple and easy to operate, but in fact it is not very feasible.
In the past two years, Song's body has become weaker and weaker, and her spirit is not as good as before, Xie Meijun is dependent on her, how can she leave her mother, travel far away, and take her son and daughter away? The third room of the Xie family is going to Beiping with the heirs and granddaughters of Xie Jinzhi and Xie Mulin, the heirs and granddaughters of the second room, won't the Song family live alone again at that time? Even if there were clansmen and other clansmen, and others had their own families to take care of, she still had to endure loneliness.
But if Xie Meijun doesn't leave Huyin and only lets the two children go out, it is impossible for Yang Yiquan and the Yang family to stop making up their minds about the children's marriage. In this era, the marriage of young juniors has never been up to them, and it is often their parents and elders who make the decision. Yang Yiquan will only continue to harass Xie Meijun again and again, and Xie Meijun can only continue to endure it.
The more Xie Yingfen thought about it, the more she had a headache for the Yang family's brothers and sisters: "The Yang family is embarrassed to say that they are from a famous family in Huyin, a scholarly family, how can such a means of doing things be as clear and decent as our Xie family?!" The old man Yang said that he was a close friend of the second old lady during his lifetime, but in fact, it was not much better. If it weren't for him, where would Sister Yuan and their mother and son suffer such grievances? ! ”
Xie Mulin snorted: "How can he be troublesome? From the beginning of the marriage between Uncle Yang and Aunt Mei Jun, Master Yang's thoughts were clear. He wanted to use the influence of Zhushan Academy and wanted his nephew to become the head of Zhushan Academy, so he repeatedly encouraged Uncle Yang to reunite with Aunt Mei Jun, and repeatedly wrote to his grandmother and Aunt Mei Jun to say good things for Uncle Yang.
"He is also an old man, although he is an official in a prosperous place such as Yangzhou, but he can only achieve five grades, compared to his father, who specially selected those poor places to serve, but he has risen all the way to now, can he not be blushing? Since he has no family background and no ability, he can only follow the path of connections. If Uncle Yang becomes the head of Zhushan Academy, those officials from the academy should all give him face, right? "Then Xie Pu and Song's connections will become Master Yang's connections.
Xie Huizhi, Xie Yingfen and Xie Hanzhi all showed expressions of sudden realization.
Xie Yingfen said angrily: "He didn't have a good heart when he dared to love him!" Another day, I must persuade Sister Yuan well, so that the mother and son will always be afraid of that Master Yang. What if it's a friend of the second old lady before his death? His nephew made Aunt Mei Jun like this, what kind of face does that Master Yang have to force the Xie family?! ”
Xie Huizhi thought about it for a while, and said to her with a smile: "If you really want to persuade them, don't say anything bad about Master Yang, just tell Sister Yuan what I think, and let them make up their own minds." ”
Xie Yingfen was puzzled: "Do you really plan to let Aunt Mei Jun travel with Sister Yuan and Brother Chun?" How could they leave the second old lady alone? ”
Xie Mulin's heart moved: "Who said that they must leave the old man alone?" My grandmother is a native of Beiping, and she has always missed her hometown very much, the waterway is stable, not as bumpy and hard as the land road, maybe her old man is interested in returning to her hometown to see? But now that it's autumn, if she really wants to go north with us, I'm afraid she will have to spend the winter in the north, and I don't know if her old man's body can hold up. ”
Whether it can hold up or not, it depends on Song's own thoughts. If she thinks she can do it, maybe she'd like to go north together? It's a big deal that she has been staying in a warm room in winter, and the Xie family also has the conditions to burn a warm kang and use silver frost charcoal or something. Xie Mulin also thought that there were hot springs in Xiaotangshan, and his mother Wen once mentioned in a letter to her family that she and her father Xie Hui had stayed in an acquaintance's hot spring village for three days in the first month of last year, and they were very comfortable. In the past two years, the Xie family has become more and more prosperous, and they should be able to afford a small hot spring village, right?
Xie Mulin discussed with several younger siblings for a long time, and Xie Hanzhi's girl Xiaoying came to urge, saying that it was dinner time and let them go to Mrs. Xie as soon as possible, and Xie Mulin and others put this topic on hold for the time being.
Now the rule of the Xie family's three rooms is that dinner must be eaten together as much as possible, and in order to treat Mrs. Xie's legs and feet, they all eat in Mrs. Xie's house. Unless Mrs. Xie is sick, or tired or sleepy, and doesn't want to see her grandchildren, she will change the place of the dinner, otherwise, this is the time when all the members of the third room in Huyin's hometown get together every day.
Xie Yingfen urged Xie Hanzhi to wash his hands and change his clothes, Xie Mulin took the opportunity to pull Xie Huizhi outside, stuffed the written letter to him, and instructed: "Send it out as soon as possible, it must be sent to Xiao Rui as soon as possible!" ”
Xie Huizhi funnily tucked the letter into his sleeve and raised his eyebrows at his second sister: "Why are you so anxious?" Could it be that Second Brother Xiao finally said that he was going to come to the door to propose? The second sister is afraid that the dowry he prepared will not be enough, so she is in a hurry to give him ideas? ”
Xie Mulin glanced at him, paused, and then said the truth: "He wants to return to Beijing to receive the reward, and he is expected to arrive in Beijing in mid-August, and he also said that he will take the time to come and see me at that time." Think about it, if you don't tell him the news of our family's northward journey as soon as possible, when he came, just in time for our family to arrive in the capital, he took advantage of the excitement to come, but he pounced, how miserable! ”
Xie Huizhi was pleasantly surprised: "Really?! Second Brother Xiao is coming back?! He clasped his hands together with some excitement and said, "We can finally meet!" I haven't seen him in two or three years, and I don't know how he's doing now?! He's just fought the North this spring, right? Shouldn't be hurt? But since he wants to return to Beijing to receive a reward, he must have made a great contribution! Are you really not hurt? Surely there is, right? Alas, I don't know if it's seriously injured......"
Xie Mulin was also a little worried when he heard this: "He said it was a skin injury, but only he knows what it actually is." I guess it should be fine, but I don't know what he will do after receiving the reward? Is it to return to Kaipingwei to continue the war? Or will it be higher to a safer place? ”
Xie Huizhi glanced at her and said softly: "It's okay, second sister, Second Brother Xiao is so smart, a person who can make military achievements, his martial arts must be very good." Since he said in the letter that it was only a skin injury, it would never be a major problem. He was originally the son and brother of the General's Mansion, a relative of the emperor, and he had military merits, and it was enough to get ahead. Who would ask him to risk his life if he remained on the frontier? Besides, it has been rare to have a big war in the past few years, and this year it is already a great fight. The enemy army has been greatly injured, and it will take at least a few years to recuperate, and the border should be peaceful for a while, even if Second Brother Xiao wants to go back, there will be no danger. When his term of office is over, won't it be easy to go anywhere? He was close to the emperor and led the troops, and he had long wanted to transfer him back to the capital. ”
But speaking of this, Xie Huizhi couldn't help but worry: "If General Xiao transfers Second Brother Xiao back to the capital, what will you do with Second Sister?" You definitely want to go to Peking to see your father and wife, won't you have to be separated from Second Brother Xiao for thousands of miles at that time? ”
Why is the marriage of his second sister so ill-fated? Second Brother Xiao too, when will I be able to marry the second sister back?!
