Xie Mulin made Xie Yingrong angry with a few words, and he still felt that this girl's psychological quality was too poor, since she was going to pull down her face and do bad things, why couldn't she be completely shameless? The bad guy does half of it, and it doesn't get praise or it's not thorough, what is she trying to do?

Xie Mulin got up and walked around Xie Yinghui's house, and found that it was generally very neat and clean, after all, Xie Yinghui lived here overnight yesterday, if the environment was too bad, the eldest lady couldn't bear it.

However, many of the places in the house that should have been filled with antique ornaments are empty, the calligraphy and paintings on the walls are gone, and even the embroidery screens in memory are missing. It's right to think about it, how can the things in Xie Yinghui's house be ordinary goods? The Cao family must have had them taken away a long time ago, and what was left was not very important. But even what their mother and daughter think doesn't matter, it's a very precious object. Xie Mulin found that the jade bonsai on a multi-treasure shelf and the stove bottle on the table in the study were two points better than the best ornaments in his house.

In the bag that Xie Yingrong and Beeswax had already packed up, there were three or four jewelry boxes of all sizes, and the things in them, in Xie Mulin's opinion, were already very valuable, and most of them were about the same value as her own pile of jewelry. And this is just an object that Xie Yinghui doesn't look at very much and feels that there is no need to take it away. Xie Mulin didn't want to comment on how high Xie Yinghui's vision was and how rich her net worth was, but she just felt that Xie Yingrong's brain was a little problematic.

There are so many good things, she still dislikes them, does she want to go to heaven?

Xie Mulin pursed his lips, stuffed his things into the bedroom, went out and locked it, and walked towards Xie Xianzhi's courtyard not far away.

She told Xie Xianzhi what she had just experienced and reminded him to beware of Xie Yingrong. If the latter is really cheeky to come to him to "borrow" something of value, it is best not to agree.

Xie Xian's face was shocked. He didn't have a deep impression of Xie Yingrong's sister-in-law, and now that she doesn't live with her family, he knows even less about her. In my memory, this third sister is a supple, caring and intelligent little girl, who is quite talented in poetry. Father Xie Pu once praised her for her poetry riddles at this year's Lantern Festival family banquet, saying that she was the talented daughter of the Xie family. Who would have thought that only a few months later, the talented girl would become a "rich girl", and she would even do stealing.

Xie Xianzhi said in a complicated mood: "Maybe ...... She's just confused for a moment? There was a sudden disaster at home, and she had suffered from no money, most of which were just ...... I think it's a pity that the things in the big sister's house are left there in vain, so it's better to make the best use of them, right? ”

Xie Mulin snorted: "It's okay for the eldest brother to think like this, but I think that you are the eldest brother, and the younger sister in the family has this kind of inappropriate behavior, you still have to teach her more." Otherwise, she is used to taking other people's things at home, and when she goes to other people's houses, she also thinks that it is a pity that other people's things are left there in vain, so it is better to make it for herself, and it will be hopeless at that time. For her sake, we will not take it lightly! ”

Xie Xianzhi suddenly straightened his expression: "The second sister is right. ”

The things in his yard were almost packed, and there were about seven or eight boxes of clothes and shoes that he planned to take away, of which only two boxes of clothes, shoes and socks were packed, and the rest were all books. He discussed with Xie Jinzhi that he would not bring the books that the two brothers had, but he would bring the rest of the books he could, even poetry and songs.

Books are the most valuable asset for readers. What are clothes? Buy and do it again.

Right now, he is slowly sorting out his past homework and manuscripts, and plans to pick out some good ones to show to the gentlemen of the academy. And he left the rest in this house. Calamus went to her room to pack her things, and Cuijiao had already been called back by Li'er.

Xie Mulin said to Xie Xianzhi: "I have a lot of old clothes left, I can't wear them myself, and I don't want to bring too much back, so I gave some to the girls." Big brother, do you want to let the calamus also pick two bodies? It also saves waste. ”

Xie Xianzhi smiled and shook his head. There were originally nearly twenty girls in his yard, but now there was only one calamus left. Although most of these girls have the background of the Cao family, before the Xie family's accident, it is impossible for everyone to be able to believe in advance, so most of them still have clothes and property. Xie Xianzhi gave all these things to the calamus. Calamus is very wealthy, so there is no need to touch the light of Xie Mulin.

Xie Mulin listened to Xie Xianzhi's words, and didn't say anything more, so he accompanied him to Xie Yinghui's courtyard, and asked him on the way if he could borrow his books to read in the future. Xie Xianzhi naturally agreed.

Xie Xianzhi walked around his sister's room, and when he looked at the contents of the package, he could roughly understand that something had been taken away in advance.

He sighed, "I can probably guess what the third sister is looking for." After the eldest sister was ten years old, every time she entered the palace during the New Year's Day, my mother gave her a full set of new jewelry, including a golden phoenix with beads, a crown of dotted emerald flowers, a red gold inlaid with a hundred treasures, and so on. I remember that at that time, they were all carefully built by craftsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they added up to five or six thousand taels of silver. My mother said that this is for the eldest sister to make a dowry in the future, and a new set will be made every year.

In order to make it easier for the eldest sister to wear, she also stored things directly in the eldest sister's small warehouse. The third sister should have seen it with her own eyes, so she thought about it, right? Since she intends to stay in Beijing to seek a good family business, she can't miss a rich dowry. The family conditions are limited, and if the eldest sister's jewelry can fall into her hands, it will naturally help her. It's just that if you do this, the risk is too great, and if people recognize it, the third sister's face will be dull. ”

I see. But Xie Yingrong's abacus was too loud, as if others didn't know how valuable Xie Yinghui's jewelry was, so they could be thrown around.

Regarding Xie Xianzhi's incomprehensible part, Xie Mulin also has his own guess: "Finding a good craftsman and rehashing the jewelry is just a matter of cost." Even if the craftsmanship of the craftsman cannot be compared with the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, those gold jewelry stones are genuine, and the third sister does not lose. ”

Xie Xianzhi shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, the third sister is obviously a smart person, why did she go the wrong way?" I must tell the old lady about this incident in the future, and ask her to teach the third sister a good life, and not to make the third sister make the same mistake again. ”

Xie Mulin glanced at Xie Xianzhi a few times, thinking that in the past few days, this cheap big brother seems to have lost a lot, when he first returned to Xie's house, his mental state was obviously quite good, but he made a fuss about Wenzhu, and then Ping Nanbo died violently, Cao's family broke with his son, and Xie Yinghui refused to go home...... This kid doesn't know if the blow is too great, and his spirit is not as good as before, and he always wants to avoid it. It's not okay to go on like this, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, what are you doing with such a Buddhist system?

So she said: "The eldest brother is right to do this, you are the eldest brother, now that your father is not at home, and the old lady doesn't care about anything, you should control your younger brothers and sisters as the eldest brother and teach them to behave more." Otherwise, if the younger siblings are allowed to grow freely, God knows if there will be anyone who will make a mistake like the third sister? ”

Xie Xianzhi was stunned: "Me? ”

"Of course it's you." Xie Mulin said to him with a smile, "Daddy has taken office, and now the male in the family is the eldest brother." You're the pillar of our family. If you don't care about things, do you still have to expect your second brother, who is a few months younger than you, to take care of it? Although he is also very smart, he is not in good health, and he is sick at every turn like you, how can he carry such a big family? At the very least, I want you two to discuss it. My mother and a few of our younger siblings are counting on our brothers! ”

Xie Xianzhi suddenly felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he seemed to be unable to be decadent any longer.
