Chapter 362: Patterning
After Xie Mulin finished saying that, he didn't say anything more, as if he was okay again, pretending to be a well-behaved and filial granddaughter in front of Mrs. Xie, and occasionally saying a few good words to coax her.
However, after that, Mrs. Xie often fell into contemplation, as if she didn't care about Xie Mulin's words and deeds.
All along, Mrs. Xie has insisted on her own opinions, not thinking more about her son's thoughts and difficulties, and demanding the people around her with her likes and dislikes as the center. She couldn't get used to her son's respect for the Song family, and felt that her son valued the Song family more than herself, far more than herself, and her daughter-in-law and grandchildren also favored the Song family, and they were completely enveloped by the Song family. She felt that she was very wronged, so she looked at the Song family more and more unpleasantly. In her eyes, Zongfang is the accomplice of the Song family, and the wicked person who separates her and her son's mother-son relationship!
But now, Xie Mulin's words made it clear that Xie Pu attached more importance to her, which made her sober up a lot, and finally found that she had misunderstood something in the past.
Yes, her son is still more filial to her, otherwise why didn't he mention coming back after they had left Huyin County for so many years? She didn't like the people of the Xie clan, so Xie Pu didn't let the people of the Xie clan go to Beijing and step into their home, wasn't it all because she took care of her thoughts?
Although Xie Pu had spent a lot of money on the clansmen, and he had paid a lot of money for the reconstruction of the clan's land, it was also his hometown after all, and Xie Jiajiao also had his house there, and it was nothing to give a share of the money. She didn't care about the Cao family's digging up the Xie family's silver, how could she mind that Xie Pu spent the money on the clansmen? The people of the Xie clan will hinder her eyes again, so they won't turn their faces and deny people, and they will put Xie Pu to death! Moreover, the clan study run by the Xie clan, her grandson can also enroll, which is not too much of a loss.
As if she had forgotten what she had said and what she had thought, Mrs. Xie was pleased to realize that her son was still her son, and his filial piety to her surpassed that of all her elders. Xie Pu respects the Song family, but he is respecting his wife, whether he is sincere or not, his posture must be sufficient. He hasn't been back to his hometown for so many years, how close can he be to the Song family? It's just that the Song family saved his life, if he neglects the Song family, let alone the clansmen, even outsiders look at it, and it doesn't look like it.
Xie Pu is respecting the Song family for the sake of his own reputation! That's not his own mother, that's why he is so polite and polite everywhere. is not like his own mother-in-law, he can say whatever he wants, and he doesn't need to care about those red tapes at all!
Mrs. Xie suddenly felt comfortable, and then began to reflect on herself, did she really make it difficult for her son? But after thinking about it, her son is so filial, of course he won't bother with her, so she doesn't have to change her mind at all!
It's just that some superficial work doesn't hurt. The Song family's reputation in the clan is so good, isn't it because they can pretend and buy people's hearts? Even the juniors in the family are also confused by her, so everyone thinks she is a good person. Mrs. Xie felt that she couldn't admit defeat, the Song family could buy people's hearts, and she could too! At the beginning, she was too naïve, too straightforward, and valued her noble background too much, and she didn't take the dirt buns in the clan in her eyes, so she would let the Song family win over the hearts of the clansmen. Although she didn't care about the thoughts of those dirt buns, she couldn't bear the fact that her grandchildren were biased towards the Song family.
Mrs. Xie thinks that she really can't stay in the old mansion anymore. The days here are pure, but they are too pure! She avoided the clansmen and the Song family, because she didn't want to deal with the people she hated, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was as if she was afraid of them and didn't dare to see them.
She needs to go back to her clan!
When she was young, she could pretend to be virtuous in front of her clansmen, but now that she is older, her experience and knowledge are not as good as before, and she will only do better. When she was young, she still had to worry about her husband Xie Zehu's thoughts, and she was always a little trembling when she did things, but who else did she need to be afraid of now?! Her son is a high-ranking official of the third grade! As long as she is willing to put down her body and be a loving elder respected by the clan, who else will not come around to flatter her?
When the time comes, it will be up to the Song family, who has been just the wife of the mountain chief all her life, and can only rely on her father's official position to show off her martial arts, what face will she have to step on her!
Mrs. Xie suddenly felt that she was full of courage, and she couldn't wait to go to Xie Jiajiao immediately, attracting everyone to worship. It's just that when she wanted to mention this to her granddaughter Xie Mulin, for some reason, she never said what she wanted to think about returning to the clan.
Some things are one thing to think about, and another thing to do.
Old Mrs. Xie has been proud for so many years, and when she thinks of the Hui clan, she has to bow her head to the clan and the clansmen first, even if she is pretending, she can't help but hesitate. Maybe...... Will there be a more opportune time later? When the Xie family is in trouble, she will appear again, will she be able to save this step? Even if she had the intention of buying people's hearts, she didn't really want to back down in front of the Xie clan......
Xie Mulin is not ignorant of all the entanglements of Old Lady Xie. Pearl would sometimes take advantage of Mrs. Xie's inattention to quietly report to her all kinds of self-talk or muttering to the people around her. Therefore, Xie Mulin could guess that the old lady had moved back to Xie Jiajiao's heart, but he could never make up his mind.
Xie Mulin said that she was very calm, if Mrs. Xie was not sincerely eager to have this idea and was willing to make concessions for this, she would not urge Mrs. Xie to act.
Besides, Shemulin is quite busy right now.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the boudoir really took a new female red course and began to teach the girls in Xie Mulin's class to learn how to cut clothes. The first thing I learned was to make the simplest one-piece skirt, which was difficult for Xie Mulin, who had made similar clothes in modern times, and it was probably more complicated than this. She was able to do it at the time, and now that she has practiced needlework for so long, there is no reason why she should do it poorly.
She also found some plaster and made a powder cake, which she used to draw sutures on the cloth, so that the corners of the stitches were dense and straight, and she was praised by Mr. Boudoir, who was almost the first student in the class to learn how to make a one-piece skirt.
Since she learned to make skirts quickly, her husband also arranged for her to go home and learn to make the simplest single shirt in advance, which was much more complicated.
But it's just as hard for her, because she's going to take a cut.
Xie Mulin found a slightly short old single coat from her suitcase, which she had made in a hurry when she was at Li's house at Beimen Bridge this spring, and because of the hurry, it was a little rough, and after returning to Huyin, she never wore it again—Li'er did not allow her to put it on.
This old dress is a little small for her now, and there is no chance to wear it, and the two girls around her don't fit, so the sisters in the clan ...... How can such a cloth be delivered? In order not to let it go to waste, Xie Mulin found it, carefully disassembled it according to the part of the stitches, and then spread the cloth flat on the table, and then ......
Find a stiff piece of paper, put it under the fabric, mark it, cut it, and type a set of paper plates.
