Chapter 294: Return
Wen was a little confused.
However, she has always regarded herself as Xie Pu's wife, Xie Zehu and the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Xie Lu. Although she had only made up her mind the day before to be more filial to the Song family's mother-in-law, and put Mrs. Xie in the position of "uncle and mother-in-law", the concept that she had identified for more than ten or twenty years was not so easy to change. She quickly accepted Song's hint and put herself back in the position of "the daughter-in-law of the third old lady Xie Zehu", thinking that it was a natural arrangement for her to take Xie Xianzhi to preside over her father-in-law's ceremony.
Only Xie Mulin sat aside, feeling that his face was a little painful.
The Song family not only occupies the moral high ground, but also has enough confidence, of course she can magnanimously let her daughter-in-law and grandson recognize the old lady as her mother-in-law and grandmother, anyway, the family tree is placed there, and no one can change the fact that she is still Xie Pu's mother-in-law. Even if Xie Pu, Wen and their children would be in an embarrassing situation because of this, so what? I haven't done my filial piety for more than ten years, this embarrassment, even if it's a punishment for them, shouldn't it? Besides, such an understatement of punishment, not beating or scolding, not hurting muscles and bones, doesn't it just show the generosity and benevolence of the Song family?
Xie Mulin touched his nose and decided to be a dumb and fool for a while. When Song said these words, she was lenient. As a junior who made Mrs. Xie so angry that she was about to vomit blood not long ago, there was no need to dig a pit to let herself jump in. Can't really let Mrs. Xie show off her grandmother's prestige and take revenge on Wen, Xie Jinzhi and her mother and son with the stick of filial piety, right?
But then again. If Song's words really reached Mrs. Xie's ears...... Will she shake her majesty and show off her power in front of the Wen family and her grandchildren, or will she be so angry that she vomits blood?
Mrs. Xie has been compared to each other everywhere since she and the Song family became concubines. The other party is the daughter of a serious official eunuch, and she is the daughter of a criminal official; The other party is familiar with poetry and books, and she is outstanding in learning, she has received a general ladies' education, and after marriage, she has become more and more vulgar, and poetry and books have long been left behind; The other party is deeply loved by her husband, and the husband and wife have a harmonious relationship, and after she and her husband have been in love for a few years, she has to be reprimanded by her husband from time to time because she has exposed her true nature; The other party has a perfect image in the clan and is respected, and after she pretended to be a good wife and mother for a few years, her personality collapsed, and her reputation in the clan was infamous......
Even in the matter of giving birth to a son, Mrs. Xie seems to have the upper hand temporarily, and in a few years, she will accept that her son has two rooms, and she will share the fact of Xie Pu's mother with the Song family.
Both of them are young widows and have worked hard with a child, but the Song family has made themselves the heroes of the clan, and their status in Huyin's hometown is transcendent, and everyone respects them; Mrs. Xie hated ghosts, and kept dragging her sons and grandchildren......
Mrs. Xie wants to compete with the Song family everywhere, but she is inferior everywhere. finally thought that he had snatched his son and had been serving for more than ten years, even if he was not as rich as before, he had a good time and could compare the Song family. Outcome...... The Song family is quiet, and she is also very prosperous in her hometown, and she still has old relatives and friends to rely on in the court, but she seems to be a poor worm who is weak and does not even want to be close to her children and grandchildren......
Xie Mulin wanted to give Mrs. Xie tears of sympathy, thinking that for the sake of her old man's body, don't disclose these words to her in the near future......
Xie Mulin was slightly distracted, and when he came back to his senses, he happened to hear Wen speaking to Song with tears in his eyes: "Mother is so magnanimous, daughter-in-law is really frightened, and she feels that she is unfilial, and she has not been able to serve under her mother's knees for many years......"
Song waved his hand and sighed: "I know the difficulties of your husband and wife, but in fact, the third brother and sister just can't see it." If she had been more relaxed, our two families would not have encountered so many setbacks over the years......"
Song recalled that her deceased husband had hoped that Xie Pu could be admitted to the top armor, and her heart ached.
If it weren't for the third brother and sister Lu Shi running away with their son without permission, Xie Pu would not be able to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and would have to be distracted to run the family business, maybe Xie Pu would have achieved better results in the palace exam that year.
If it weren't for Xie Pu to be distracted from running the family business, and use the money earned to compensate the clansmen who were damaged by the Lu family's private sale of property, and subsidize the clan to atone for his mother's sins, he would not have made the business so big, so big that he couldn't shelter him with his fame, so he could only be forced to take the exam in advance and fight for fame to save himself, but he failed to get into the first class, not to mention, and caused a disaster like the Cao family.
If the Lu family had stayed in the clan in peace and had the family property left by Xie Zehu, which would be enough to ensure a prosperous life for the family, Xie Pu would have been able to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, without being distracted to take care of the business, and would not have accumulated too much family business to attract covetousness. He can prepare for three more years before taking the entrance examination, and he is more sure to enter the first class, and he can avoid the Cao family, because Cao Shuqing was already married at that time......
All of this was due to Lu's jealousy of her second sister-in-law. Song actually had some regrets in her heart, she had known that there would be today's result, and she shouldn't have underestimated the resentment in Lu's heart that day. But if she is more wary of the other party and asks the sister-in-law of the sect to pay more attention, how can she let the Lu family find an opportunity to run away?
Even the death of her husband Xie Zechuan and brother-in-law Xie Zehu is also responsible......
Song's expression was a little gloomy, and his eyes were red. Thinking of her deceased husband's death, she could not bear the grief in her heart.
As soon as Xie Meijun saw her mother's appearance, she knew why she was sad, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.
Wen Shi listened to a few words, and also came back to his senses, thinking in his heart, his mother-in-law, Mrs. Xie, had indeed harmed too many people because of her narrow-mindedness. And it is really admirable that the mother-in-law Song can say such magnanimous words today.
Wen secretly told himself that even if he wanted to respect the old lady as his mother-in-law, he must not be disrespectful to the second old lady Song. Because the latter is the elder who is more worthy of her respect!
Song gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers and smiled again: "Okay, the past is over, there is no need to say more." In the future, Su Min and you and Yuhe can do whatever they want, and you don't have to serve in front of me. The master and I taught Yuhe that day, and I didn't think about asking you to reciprocate anything. If you take your children back to your hometown to live for a long time, it is right to let them read good books first. Yuhe failed to fulfill his master's wish before his death and was admitted to the top armor; Yiquan did not go well in the imperial examination, and he still raised people, and he also focused on the affairs of the academy, but I am afraid that he will not be able to count on him in the future; Chun'er is good, talented, and diligent, but I look at his knowledge, the second class is promising, but the first class is difficult; Yuhe's sons are smart, and they are all very talented and good children, let them study hard for ten years, and maybe the master's long-cherished wish will be fulfilled one day. ”
Yang Yiquan and Yang Chun were a little embarrassed by what they said, but Xie Jinzhi was a little frightened, and hurriedly got up and said: "Grandmother is very loving, and my grandson will definitely work hard, but I don't dare to say that I will be able to pass the exam......"
Song waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have seen your homework, you have talent, you are a little more calm than your brother, and the words are also true, and there is more hope for achieving something in the future." It's just that you have been hindered by the Cao family all these years and delayed your studies, otherwise you should have been admitted to Xiucai. If you really want to compete for the top spot in the future, you have to be more attentive in your studies. ”
Xie Jinzhi pursed his lips, glanced at his mother Wen, and knelt down towards the Song family: "Grandson will definitely live up to grandmother's expectations!" ”
Song showed a pleased smile and helped him up with both hands: "Good boy, grandmother is waiting for you to bring back good news!" ”
