When the three brothers Xie Xianzhi, Xie Jinzhi, and Xie Huizhi went to Xie Yinghui's house with Xie Mulin to discuss the mother and son who came to be guests today, Xie Huizhi's tone of speech was not so polite and euphemistic.

He described Second Young Master Wan as a fool with great disdain: "That guy is a mallet!" It's clear that when he was in the capital, he wasn't a great character, but after he arrived in Beiping, he seemed to feel that he was a high-ranking Houmen son. Except for the family of Yan Wangfu, no one in Manbeiping City deserves to be compared with him! When he chatted with his eldest brother and second brother, he revealed that after arriving in Beiping City, he had only participated in a gathering of those officials' children, and he had never made any serious friends at all. If it weren't for that, his obnoxious temperament would have spread a long time ago, right? He is still working under his father, he has the face to put a noble shelf in front of his brothers, what a big face! ”

Xie Xianzhi acquiesced to his younger brother's statement and sighed: "When I was a child in the capital, I actually saw him several times, and he was ...... at that time He's not that temperamental. Maybe they haven't seen each other again in the past few years, and he has changed, but I don't know. But his elder brother, Wan Dagongzi, I remember as a gentle gentleman, should not be the same kind of person as his brother. ”

Xie Huizhi said disapplausively: "Big brother's idea is too naïve. In the past, when you got along with them, you were still the grandson of the Cao family, how could an ordinary child of the Pyeongchang Marquis Mansion dare to be rude in front of you? Naturally, it is necessary to do more than the sven. As for their true temperament in private, only their own family members know. If the eldest prince Wan was really a gentleman, he should have persuaded Mrs. Wan not to be too harsh on the concubine, at least not to spread his anger on outsiders, because outsiders helped Wan San say a few good words, so he turned his face on the spot and did not choose what to say. Mrs. Wan loves her two sons so much, if Wan Dagongzi is sincerely persuasive, she will be somewhat restrained. But since she has no scruples, the so-called gentle gentleman Wan Da Gong is just a hypocrite. Big brother will see him again in the future, but don't be fooled by a few kind words from him. This kind of person is the most hateful, even more difficult than those real villains! ”

Xie Xianzhi was silent for a moment. He knew what his third brother said...... It makes sense. And he, who has long lost the favor of his mother's family, is not sure whether he still has the dignity of the past in the eyes of the Wan family. At least, Mrs. Wan and Er Gongzi Wan are not particularly polite to him today, that is, they just act according to etiquette. When he was still in Beijing when he was a child, Mrs. Wan and Wan Dagongzi, who I met by chance, didn't treat him like this.

Xie Jinzhi saw that the eldest brother was like this, so he said: "Anyway, it's just an official under my father, just because the two families are neighbors, and Mrs. Wan occasionally comes to our mansion as a guest, we will have the opportunity to contact the sons of the Wan family." In fact, since we don't have the same temperament, we don't see them much in the future. My eldest brother and I have to prepare for the township exam, and we are too busy to study hard every day, where is there still leisure to entertain a few irrelevant outsiders? We really don't have to worry too much about these ten thousand brothers. ”

He looked at the two sisters again: "The younger sisters need to be careful, when you meet that Mrs. Wan, you should try to entangle her as little as possible." If there's something wrong with her words, you don't have to worry too much about it. That's a woman who is so powerful that even a serious mother-in-law can not give face. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that Master Wan would not have come to Beiping, which is thousands of miles away, to take up his post. The jokes made by their family, you have already heard them in Beijing. ”

Xie Yinghui nodded: "Indeed, that kind of faceless shrew, I don't want to deal with her." As long as my wife doesn't call me over when the Wan family comes to the door, I don't bother to show up! ”

Xie Mulin said with a smile: "Mrs. Wan and her sons are gone, but I heard that there are still a few girls in the Wan family, and two of them are from the family, and they may be brought over by Mrs. Wan as a guest at some point." If the eldest sister doesn't come forward at that time, will I have to deal with it alone? ”

Xie Yinghui pouted and said, "Can't you handle it alone?" If I had come forward, I might have been choreographed by them. Mrs. Wan is such a character who loves to chew her tongue and does not leave her mouth virtuous, does the daughter she taught still know how to speak? I don't want to be angry. You might as well call the three girls, the three girls are also interested in the son of the Wan family, and she may be willing to go to the eyes of the Wan family, but it is unknown. ”

Xie Mulin knew that she was joking, so he also laughed and changed the topic.

The four brothers and sisters were chatting, and the younger sister Xie Yingfen suddenly came to the door and called Xie Mulin to talk outside: "Ginkgo told me privately that my aunt sent her to the main house to find out what news Mrs. Wan had brought, and she met Shunxin in the third sister's house in the courtyard, and she also looked sneaky." Later, I went to Aunt Jin's house, and after the guests left, I went out with Aunt Jin, as if I was going to the courtyard of the third sister, and I don't know what I was thinking! ”

Xie Mulin raised his eyebrows, surprised that the Wen clan had clearly refused to allow the girls to go to the main courtyard to contact the mother and son of the Wan family, Xie Yingrong still did not give up, could it be true that he fell in love with which son of the Wan family?

She nodded and said to Xie Yingfen: "I know, I will order someone to pay attention to the situation of the third sister." Fourth sister, you just have to rest assured. ”

Xie Yingfen wanted to speak and stopped: "My aunt seems to be very concerned...... The news that the couple in Qiluofang had switched to Mrs. Xu. She looked down on that Mrs. Xu very much, and felt that she was far worse than the Cao family. But...... If the couple in Qiluofang were forced to be willing to take refuge even with such a new owner, does that mean that the situation of the Cao family is really very bad? ”

Xie Mulin asked her, "What does Aunt Qin think in her heart?" Can you make up your mind to get out of the sinking ship? ”

Xie Yingfen pursed her lips: "Auntie is only afraid that she doesn't believe that the ship will sink, and now she still feels that if it wasn't for the Luo couple in Qiluofang who were stupid and took the initiative to turn their backs on the main family, or they switched to Mrs. Xu, it was deliberate, and they acted on orders......" She hesitated for a moment and looked at Xie Mulin, "I want my aunt to make up her mind, but I'm afraid that I will have to take a dose of fierce medicine." ”

Xie Mulin laughed when he heard this: "What does the fourth sister think?" Aunt Qin is now bent on going her own way, and she has already drilled the tip of the horns. You are her own daughter, you must know...... What kind of medicine will work best for her condition? ”

Xie Yingfen sighed: "Naturally, I want my aunt to know that the rumors are true, and the Cao family is indeed losing power." She was silent for a while before continuing to Xie Mulin, "Second sister, the people of our family, although the clothes after the winter have been prepared by the wife, there are always a few bright new clothes to support the scene during the New Year. I wonder if my wife has any plans...... Let the familiar satin shop send some good new materials to the home to choose? The two aunts have also worked hard for a few years, is the wife willing...... By the way, I also rewarded them with a new dress? ”

Xie Mulin suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "I'll go and tell my mother in a while, she will agree!" ”
