Nothing happened overnight.

When she woke up early the next morning, Mrs. Xie only felt refreshed and in good spirits. When she got up and freshened up, and when Pearl combed her hair and dressed, she suddenly saw the jade pendant she had given to her third grandson Xie Huizhi last night in the jewelry box, and she thought she was dazzled.

Old Madam Xie immediately picked up the jade pendant and looked at it again and again, looking at the pearl in disbelief: "This is not ...... Was the piece of jade I was wearing yesterday? ”

Pearl couldn't help but smile and said softly, "It's that piece of jade." The old lady drank too much last night, so she casually put this piece of jade on the second floor, and the third young master found out and sent it back. It's not for me to say, it's better for the old lady not to drink so much in the future. Although your old man was happy yesterday, you should also pay attention to your body. This time, I lost a piece of jade at home, and asked the young master to pick it up, in case I lost something outside, but I may not be able to find it back. ”

Mrs. Xie clearly remembered that she had given the jade to Xie Huizhi, why did she accidentally lose it now, so that Xie Huizhi returned it? Although she drank two more drinks last night, she was far from delirious, and she was still walking steadily!

Pearl asked her again: "Old lady, yesterday you gave the third young master a big red envelope, which is enough for five taels of silver!" It was originally for the second girl. The original red envelopes for the other young masters and girls were 500 yuan, and they were planned to ask the second girl or the third young master to take them back to the new house after the festival. Now that you have given the big red envelope to the third young master, what should the second girl do? What about the other young masters and girls? Or do you still give five hundred dollars? But the young masters and girls have come to accompany you for the holiday, and they only give five hundred dollars, is it less? ”

Mrs. Xie made a straight face: "The little third son coaxed me to be happy, and he was filial to me, so what did it matter to give him a big red envelope?" The dead girl of the real sister, if she doesn't have a good word during the holidays, she will poke my heart. Five hundred dollars is enough for her! As for the others......" she paused, "just give one or two, and cheapen them!" None of them are obedient......"

She pursed her lips and looked at the piece of jade in her hand, already guessing what was going on. Xie Huizhi must have seen that she regretted it last night, so he pretended not to reward it, and returned the jade in the name of "picking up her lost jade pendant", and only took a big red envelope as a replacement. This kid is really clever and filial, knowing that her old man is reluctant, he takes care of both her face and her inside, it is really much more than Xie Yingzhen's dead girl!

It's a pity that it's a concubine, and the biological mother is still from that kind of background, and she is not good at reading, so she is estimated to have no future in the future.

Old Mrs. Xie sighed, put the jade pendant back in its original position, and only muttered in her heart, why is the second granddaughter Xie Yingzhen not so caring? I don't know how to learn from my brother!

Pearl combed Mrs. Xie's hair, changed her clothes, and went out, Mrs. He had already set up breakfast, which was more hearty than usual, in addition to hot porridge and side dishes, there were also home-made moon cakes.

Mrs. Xie remembered that the mooncakes sent by Wen's side did not know how to make them, and there were many more patterns than in previous years, and the taste was much better. She didn't understand, how could this kind of thing, which would only be left in the homes of large families and passed down from generation to generation, end up in bookstores and be read and sold by others? Two girls, where did they come from such a great blessing? This is not much worse than the internal dim sum that the Cao family brought out of the palace to honor her in previous years, right?

Could it be that the Cao family was fooling her in previous years, bullying her for not eating real internal dim sum, so she casually took some ordinary goods from the Cao family to prevaricate? Mrs. Xie didn't believe that the dim sum made in the palace could still be compared to the mooncakes made by her granddaughters!

After eating a small half bowl of porridge, Mrs. Xie suddenly remembered something and asked, "What about the others?" Could it be that Chengdu is going back? ”

He Pozi replied with a smile: "Not yet." For fear of disturbing the old lady's sleep, the lady took the young master and girls to eat in the main courtyard in front of her, which had already been eaten. The second girl practiced weaving in Meilu, and the third young master took the other young masters and girls to wander around and recognize the road by the way. ”

Old Lady Xie pouted and said, "What way do you recognize?" They won't move in. ”

Pearl smiled and said: "Although I won't stay here for a long time, the young masters and girls will always come to visit the old lady, and it will inevitably be necessary to stay with you for a few days at that time, so that you can recognize the road as soon as possible, and it will be convenient in the future." ”

Mrs. Xie was secretly happy in her heart, but she quickly put away her joy again, thinking that these dead children were all pretending to be stupid like the third son. But the third son is filial piety, and the other children are also pretending to be stupid, so they don't want to fool her, right? Could it be that they thought that if she hadn't scolded yesterday, she wouldn't have bothered with them anymore? Can they continue to say good things about the Song family and the clan?!

She snorted twice and pursed her lips disapprovingly, determined never to compromise on such an important matter.

At this time, Wen came over. After saluting her, Wen asked her for instructions, because the two brothers Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi were studying in the academy and would not start school until August 17, and the other children were studying in the clan and boudoir studies, and the classes would not start until the 18th, so everyone decided to stay in the old house today, accompany Mrs. Xie for lunch and dinner, and then take a boat back to Xie Jiajiao overnight while it was not too late. For this reason, Wen wanted to ask Mrs. Xie, what dishes did she want to eat for these two meals?

Mrs. Xie felt her daughter-in-law's long-lost respectful request for instructions, and she was in a very happy mood, which made her feel like she was in power. Since Xie Pu's accident, she has never experienced this kind of taste again. Even in the past, the Cao family was also fed by the palm of her hand, and occasionally she was consulted on some trivial matters, as for whether to act according to her wishes, that was another matter.

She felt good now, and her tone of voice to Wen was much softer: "You look at it, there are still a lot of dishes left over from last night, right?" Don't waste it. Our family is no longer than in the past, so we have to save a little. ”

Wen responded softly: "Yes, obey the old lady's orders." Then he retreated respectfully.

Mrs. Xie's mood was better.

When lunch began, when the grandchildren all gathered together to accompany her to eat, Mrs. Xie wanted to bring up the topic of the Song family and the clan again. But looking at the smiling faces in front of her, even Xie Mulin rarely said a few good words to make her happy, and she couldn't help but hesitate.

Yesterday was so stiff, and the children just pretended not to hear her, but no one echoed her intentions and scolded the Song family and the Zongfang for a few words, which shows how cunning the two old immortals of the Song family and the Zongfang are, and how they can buy people's hearts! Now that the children are coaxed by them, they can't see their true colors at all, what if she says bad things about them again, and they ignore her?

How long has it been since she had experienced the scene of a family sitting around and being happy now? After a happy Mid-Autumn Festival night, let her experience the cold and lonely life of the past again, she is going to tremble when she thinks about it.

Old Mrs. Xie glanced at Xie Mulin, remembered her words yesterday, and had to admit that her words were right. She is not as good as the Song family, and she is not as good as the Song family, so everyone says that the Song family is good, but they pick their noses and eyes at her. What's the use of her scolding the Song family again? will only make herself hateful, and even her own grandchildren and granddaughters will be separated from her.

You can't really push your relatives farther and farther away for the sake of the Song family and the clan, right? Are they so heavy either? Why did she make a mess in the past?!

Mrs. Xie looked at the grandchildren gathered in front of her, reluctantly squeezed out a loving smile, and kindly persuaded them to eat more, and come to see her old man more when they had time in the future, and then sent out the red envelopes one by one.

Not a word about the Song family and the clan.
