Chapter 626: Responsibility
The night passed. When he woke up the next morning, Wen had to put on his clothes again and set out on his journey north again.
Xie Mulin, Xie Xianzhi, and Xie Yinghui all got up early to prepare breakfast, advise their entourage, and check their luggage again, so as to reduce Wen's workload. Wen Shi put it on, and he was very relieved to see this: "Good boy, you guys have really helped a lot!" ”
She especially told Xie Xianzhi: "You are the eldest son in the family, a role model for your younger siblings, you have to take care of your sisters all the way back to your hometown." You can tell Jia Da and Qingsong to do the errands outside, but if there are matters that need to be negotiated with the shipowner, you still have to show up. The shopkeeper and the guys are not in the same boat as you, but they are all your own family. When you arrive at the ferry, you should also visit them from time to time to ask if they have any needs, and try to meet them, so that you can be regarded as fulfilling your responsibilities. ”
She was teaching Xie Xian about his sophistication, and she was also signaling him to hurry up and take over the duties of the eldest son of the family. Xie Xian knew that she had good intentions, and while he was moved in his heart, he also agreed very obediently, saying that he would definitely do his best to do his best.
Of course, Wen did not forget to give two more instructions: "The master and I are not at home, the old lady herself also needs to recuperate, although you need the eldest son to be the master, although you need to be the eldest son to decide, but you don't have to work yourself too hard, you can discuss with your younger siblings more when you need to." Besides, you have to take the Xiucai exam next year, and you can't be too relaxed in your homework. I just finished the county exam, and there are still government exams and hospital exams to be examined, so you should have more books with him and ask him some tips for the exam, which is also the meaning of preparing for next year. ”
Xie Xianzhi naturally had no choice but to nod again and again.
Xie Yinghui listened a little unpleasantly. When Wen instructed their brother and sister to speak, it seemed as if this was a matter of course, as if they did not realize that she and her brother Xie Xianzhi were not their own flesh and blood. But every word of Wen's words is really thinking about the future of their brother and sister.
In contrast, Cao Shuqing, the biological mother who has always doted on their brothers and sisters, said that she loved them, and always said that they had an extraordinary family background, and they didn't need to study too hard, just obey the arrangements of their elders in the future. However, when the crisis came, Cao Shuqing abandoned them one after another, and only pursued the man she wanted. For the sake of that man, she could even sacrifice her own children...... Does she really love them? If you love them, why do this to them, and why not think about their future?
Xie Yinghui was sad in her heart, thinking of Cao Shuqing, who was still in Chengenhou Mansion to "pray for her mother's blessing" and was nowhere to be seen, and she couldn't tell what it was like.
Perhaps, the three of them, mother and daughter, as early as February 25 last year, the day the Xie family was raided by officers and soldiers, they were destined to be strangers, right?
After Wen finished instructing Xie Xianzhi, when he turned his head to look at Xie Yinghui, there was nothing more to say. The one who should have instructed it had already been instructed last night, and even more so on his daughter Xie Mulin's side. So what she finally instructed was Xie Yingrong, who was finally lifted from the grounding and allowed to come to the front yard to see people.
Wen looked at the well-behaved smile on Xie Yingrong's face and sighed in his heart. She knew she couldn't trust the child, but now that she was the child's mother-in-law, she had to do her part.
She said to Xie Yingrong: "I know that you have always had your own ideas and are very ambitious. But now everything is fine at home, and the master's appointment as an official abroad is also very smooth, which is enough to shelter your brothers and sisters. If you have any ideas, you can also say them and discuss them, so don't act on your own in a foolish way. You are still young, you are not thoughtful, and many times you only rely on your own ideas to do things, and you have never taken into account the sophistication of people, and it is inevitable that there will be times when you hit a wall. Rather than you go on a rampage and end up with a bad reputation and nothing to achieve, it's better to trust the elders in the family more. Your family always wants you to be good, who can hurt you? ”
Xie Yingrong disagreed, and secretly said that she wanted to marry into a wealthy family, how could her family help her? If there is really a good marriage, it will only be cheaper Xie Yinghui and Xie Yingzhen's two daughters-in-law first, and then come down, it is Xie Yingfen, the fourth girl who has always pretended to be a good person. She, the unlikable concubine who has offended them, who will really think about her and be happy to marry her? If you see her standing tall in the future and trampling on the soles of her feet with a few sons and daughters who don't like her, which elder will be happy? Even if Wen Shi said it nicely now, he would definitely be selfish in the end, but he was just deliberately pretending to be a good person in front of others.
The wife of Jiang Xiao Cheng and Jiang Shaoliang's wife Cao Wenying, who she was familiar with in her previous life, are both virtuous women praised by outsiders, but both of them have pitted her very badly. One called her around like a slave, the other dominated the man and didn't allow her to take a step, so that she could only keep the empty boudoir alone, and finally because of the drag of these two people's maiden family, she lost her life at a young age. If she wants to believe that these ostensibly virtuous women are really good for her, I am afraid that she will have no bones left! She won't be fooled!
Xie Yingrong sneered in his heart, but his face was obedient, and he responded softly. However, her eyes had already betrayed her, and everyone present could see what she really thought. The three Xie Mulin brothers and sisters exchanged glances, but they didn't say anything. Seeing this, Wen Shi had nothing else to say except sighing, so he could only add another sentence dryly: "A good student lives in his hometown, and when he enters the clan school, he must study hard, and reading can be reasonable, which is good for you." ”
As for whether Xie Yingrong can listen to it, it is not for her to decide.
In the end, Wen could only leave the house with regrets. Xie Xianzhi and Xie Mulin sent her to the dock to board the boat, while Xie Yinghui stayed at home. As soon as they left on the front foot, Xie Yinghui ordered someone to escort Xie Yingrong back to Jin Xuantang and continue to be grounded.
Xie Yingrong was so angry that she jumped to her feet: "Mrs. just said that I don't have to be grounded, why are you locking me up again?!" ”
Xie Yinghui sneered: "Just because I'm the eldest sister, just because you're still disobedient!" You don't have anything to do anyway, you just need to pack your bags before you go back to your hometown, what are you going to do when you come out? You don't have a girl, do you still expect others to clean it up for you?! ”
"It's not that I don't clean up, why don't you let me out of the house?!" Xie Yingrong struggled to protest, "This is Mrs.'s words!" Could it be that you are not born to her, so you dare not listen to her orders and disobey her words?! ”
These words were a bit heartfelt, but Xie Yinghui didn't care at all. Now that she knows the true character of the Wen family, what is there to worry about: "If you have the ability, you can go and tell your wife and ask her to punish me?" Since you can't do it, you can honestly go back to me! After saying that, she swept her eyes, and Mrs. Jiang immediately took people and directly dragged Xie Yingrong back to Jin Xuantang. Although Aunt Dajin looked worried, she didn't stop it, but just followed back silently.
Xie Yinghui spat at Xie Yingrong's back, and snorted arrogantly: "Dare to play tricks in front of me?" Think I'm a fool like my wife? Dream on! ”
