Xie Mulin was dumbfounded. Although she had known that Mrs. Xie was very superb, she never expected that this old lady would be able to do such a superb thing when she was young.

Xie Jinzhi also looked shocked, and couldn't help asking, "Grandfather...... Are all the properties left by the third uncle and ancestor the property of the third house? ”

That's a question to the point. In fact, although the three houses account for the absolute majority of the industries left by Xie Zehu, there is still a share of the big houses in them.

The three brothers of the Xie family had a division of labor at the beginning. Xie Zechuan, who has the best reading, is responsible for taking the test for fame, and he will be an official in the future to protect the family. Although the eldest brother Xie Zeshan can also read, his talent is far inferior to that of the second brother, and he mainly stays at home to deal with housework and clan affairs - his fame was only obtained after the age of forty, and he has always been a showman. As for the younger brother Xie Zehu, because he is more shrewd and capable, and he is a little clever, although his grades in reading are still passable, he still gave up his studies to focus on business to support his brother and family. Because he knows that he can't surpass his second brother in study, instead of wasting time and effort, but at most being a showman, it is better to earn a net worth and make the family more prosperous.

The three brothers used the property left by their parents as the capital, and Xie Zehu came forward to run it. Since the two brothers are famous, those properties are recorded in Xie Zehu's name, but the annual dividends are available in the three houses.

However, Xie Zechuan's share of the second room, as early as when his husband and wife returned to their hometown to run a school, they took out in advance and bought a large piece of land to build a college. Therefore, among the industries at hand by Xie Zehu, there are only the shares of large houses and three houses. Here, there are many members of the Xie family involved, either as a small steward, or as a part-time worker, and the dowry brought by the Wen family from the family, which is also run by the Xie family. Anyway, this is not unique to Sanfang, just for convenience, it is recorded in the name of Sanfang. After Xie Zehu died, the shopkeepers under him did not change, they were loyal and capable, and they still earned a lot of income for the Xie family. Lu didn't care about anything, just looked at the accounts every quarter, and Xiao Gui Cao followed. No one expected that she would suddenly sell her industry, and the Hezu family was caught off guard by her.

Wen said with palpitations: "At that time, my lord and I thought that we were just accompanying the old lady back to her parents' house. Since she married in Huyin County, she has never been back, and it is normal for her to want to visit her relatives. I didn't expect her to do such a big thing...... By the time we realized that something was wrong, the carriage had already driven three hundred miles away from Huyin, and the new buyers of those industries had already come to hand over the goods......

Xie Pu and she only learned about the chaos from Xie Zeshan a few years later. The new owner came to the door, and the Xie family learned the news that the property had changed hands, and the shopkeepers suddenly lost their jobs, and the craftsmen could still stay and continue to do things, but the Xie family was all swept away, not to mention how embarrassed they were. Xie Zeshan's sect and Song's second room took a lot of effort to scrape together a sum of money and buy back a few of the most important properties, and the rest were powerless. For this reason, the Song family had to sell the paved land in the half street in front of Zhushan Academy, and also used the connections of many students' families, owing a lot of favors. Xie Zeshan was forced to be cheeky and personally went to his wife Tu's maiden house to borrow silver.

Later, Xie Pu tried every means to find an excuse to get a sum of money from his mother, and ordered his henchmen to secretly send him back to his hometown, so as to solve the urgent need of the clan. But those good industries that are making money every day are easy to sell at a low price, but it is difficult to redeem and buy them back. Some buyers are reluctant to let go at all, even if the Xie family has a head and face in Huyin, it is useless. There has been such an accident in the Xie family, and many people are watching the joke. Xie Zeshan really wanted to strangle his younger brother's widow at that time.

Wen sighed and said to his children: "Originally, the master was dedicated to studying at home, and he didn't ask about business. I'm young and haven't entered the door yet, so I'm not embarrassed to intervene. The old lady is in charge of all these money matters. Since then, the old man has changed his mind, first persuaded the old lady to settle down in Songjiang, and then bought another house to start a new life, and slowly took over the family business. ”

Within two years, he regained a huge amount of assets, quietly found his past shopkeepers and guys, and continued to serve him. He hid these things from his mother, Mrs. Xie. And Mrs. Xie saw that her son's imperial examination was successful, and she was able to make money for her family, and support her to live a rich and comfortable life, so she ignored specific business affairs. It's just that every quarter, she still has to take the account books to read. In order to prevent her from discovering the clues, Xie Pu and Wen also spent a lot of effort to make accounts.

Of course, because of distraction and the absence of a dedicated elder by his side to teach him carefully, Xie Pu's studies were somewhat affected. He was also a little hasty in participating in the examination, he did not achieve the results expected by his uncle and heir, and even the ranking of the examination was far inferior to Xie Zechuan's back then.

After Mrs. Xie left Huyin, she never went back. But Xie Pu and Wen went back the year they got married, and they also sacrificed to their ancestors. Xie Pu solemnly apologized to his uncle, aunt, and aunt, but several elders felt sorry for him and never blamed him.

Their resentment against Mrs. Xie was not so easy to dispel, but they would not be angry with Xie Pu, after all, he didn't know about it back then, and he helped to remedy it in time later. They understood Xie Pu's difficulties, so they ignored Mrs. Xie and pretended that the Xie family had never been such a person. Every year to sacrifice the ancestors, they all did the things that should be done for Xie Pu by the way. Xie Pu either sent someone back to his hometown to worship, or asked for leave to return to his hometown to sacrifice, all of which were hidden from Mrs. Xie. Mrs. Xie was also at ease, no one asked, so she didn't think it was like that.

However, if it has happened, how can it really be that it has not happened? Now that Xie Zeshan is in Beijing, seeing that Xie Pu's disaster is the bane caused by Mrs. Xie again, he can't help but be furious.

He scolded harder, after all, it was the resentment and anger accumulated over the past ten years. But after venting, his old man will still do his best to help save people.

If the Xie family wants to go back to their hometown Huyin in the future, presumably the eldest old lady Tu and the second old lady Song will scold Mrs. Xie again. The elders of the other houses in the clan are estimated to come to join in the fun. What Mrs. Xie did back then was too widely implicated.

Xie Mulin and Xie Jinzhi were embarrassed to hear it. If they encounter this kind of thing, they probably can't help but scold, right? It was out of trust that the Xie family handed over the property to Xie Zehu to operate. Xie Zehu is also worthy of this trust. But after his death, his wife failed all the clansmen and put everyone in an embarrassing situation. If Xie Zehu had knowledge, it was estimated that he would be so angry that he would die again.

Mrs. Xie thinks why she has been so comfortable all these years? Isn't it all because she has a good husband and a good son? But she has repeatedly dragged these people who love her into a desperate situation, and she still doesn't know how to reflect, I really don't know what she thinks in her heart.

Xie Mulin whispered: "Therefore, in front of the old lady, the identity of the clan, the second old lady, and the daughter of the criminal official, sweeping the graves of the ancestors, and the fact that she sold her property and fled privately are all taboos and cannot be mentioned." But the uncle and grandfather will definitely blame the old lady for these things, and there is no room for us to speak at all. Our house actually inherited the incense of the second room, and the second old lady is the serious grandmother of me and my brother, and the serious mother-in-law of my mother, there is no reason to favor the old lady. So shouldn't we regain our unfinished filial piety for many years, serve the righteous master, and stop paying attention to the elders in the next room? ”
