When Wen Shi saw this, at most, he would only praise Huang Yan's kindness in his heart, but he would not say anything. But Xie Yinghui was different, she saw Huang Yan say in the letter that he helped the Zhou family win a posthumous honor for Boss Zhou, so she couldn't help but spit out: "Why bother with this effort? The Zhou family didn't treat Ziheng much better. Ziheng has leisure, so it is better to work the preparation for the exam! Even if you help the Zhou family this time, people may not appreciate it! ”

It's not that Xie Yinghui has any prejudice against the Zhou family, but before she came to Beiping, Huang Yan had already resigned from the Zhou family's staff for a long time, and she was on the list again, and her identity was already different. But Mrs. Huang occasionally visited the Zhou family in Beiping, such as offering incense to the two old men of the Zhou family to express condolences or something, and the Zhou family still had some meaning that she was not a guest. Huang Yan used to be just a curtain, not a servant, but the people in the second and fourth rooms of the Zhou family felt that he was inferior, and he was less polite to Mrs. Huang, as if she was the mother of servants.

Xie Yinghui occasionally went to visit Mrs. Huang, and Lu Qi heard some complaints from the Huang family's maiden mother-in-law, and told Xie Yinghui that she was very annoyed. Zhou Yazheng is also a friend of Huangyan in the past, but the people in the other two rooms are really low-eyed, obviously they are not an official, but they look down on people seriously, and their faces are as big as a basin! Therefore, now seeing that Huang Yan has to run for the aftermath of Boss Zhou in the tense time before the Spring Exam, and even borrowed the connections of the Ma family, she is reluctant to do so.

Mrs. Huang smiled and explained her: "When our mother and son were in a difficult situation that day, thanks to the help of Master Zhou and Son Wednesday, we survived. Now that everything is going well in our family, some old grievances are no longer important. Ziheng has studied hard for many years, but he doesn't care about the work of studying for one or two days, but if he can repay the kindness of the past and no longer owe human debts, our hearts can be much easier. Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou treated our mother and son very well in the past, but the second elder died, Ziheng was far away in the capital, and he couldn't mourn, and when he came back, the Zhou family would have already returned to their hometowns with the spirit, and they couldn't catch up. Being able to do this last thing for Mr. Zhou can be regarded as a complete guest of honor in the past. I also want to thank you, good boy, if it weren't for your blessing, Ziheng wouldn't have recognized the princess's son, let alone contributed to Lord Zhou, I should thank you and thank you. ”

Xie Yinghui's face turned red suddenly, and she lowered her head and whispered, "You are serious, this is nothing." I didn't ask Thomas's family for anything, but the girl of the Ma family treated me very well, so I asked her brothers to take care of my fiancé. It's not that I don't want Ziheng to repay the kindness I owe in the past, I just think it's ...... The Zhou family has many snobs, and they can't deserve his friendship, so they can't help but be aggrieved for him. ”

Mrs. Huang smiled: "I know, you are sorry for me!" What's there? When I was in office in the capital with my late husband in the past, it was not that I had never seen snobbery and experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings. When our mother and son were in the most difficult time, even the small people in the countryside could give us anger, let alone a big eunuch like the Zhou family?! After all, thanks to the blessing of the Zhou family, Ziheng was able to gain a foothold in Beiping City and keep the family property left by his late husband. Wednesday Gongzi also borrowed Ziheng's books and articles from time to time, so that he could continue his studies. He resigned last year to prepare for the exam, but Mr. Zhou was not embarrassed, and gave him a pair of Cheng Yi, wishing him a smooth high school. Ziheng remembered these kindnesses in his heart. He didn't care how the rest of the Zhou family treated him, and was willing to help with a word, and mourned for Boss Zhou, just for the sake of the old man and the Wednesday son's affection for him. ”

Xie Yinghui didn't care at all at this time, and said shyly with a red face: "Ziheng is such a righteous gentleman who values friendship, and my heart is far inferior to him." ”

Mrs. Huang smiled and shook her head: "Good boy, your bearing is also excellent, but I can't bear to let our mother and son be angry." I know what you want. ”

Xie Yinghui's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head shyly.

Xie Mulin secretly glanced at his mother Wen on the side, and saw that she was sipping tea as if she was nothing, and she didn't mean to interject at all, so she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Mrs. Huang and Xie Yinghui, the prospective mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were still touting each other, Xie Mulin was embarrassed to interject, so he could only squint as much as possible to glance at the next content.

Huang Yan saw that the matter on the Zhou family's side had a result, so he was relieved and concentrated on the exam. However, after the exam, when the results were released, I had the leisure to inquire about the rumors circulating on the street inside and outside the palace. At that time, the crisis of the Cao family was almost half resolved, and there was no previous decline, but the momentum of the former in-laws and old people alienating the Cao family was becoming more and more obvious. Everyone seems to have suddenly become wary of the Cao family, and even the normal New Year's visit to relatives has been canceled. The Cao family didn't mind, and closed the door to thank the guests, only the subordinates, their daughters, and side branches went in and out as usual.

Xie Yinghui's biological mother, Cao, is one of those who often goes out. Originally, she also had to negotiate a deal with Mrs. Jiang to buy an idle suburban mansion from the Jiang family, and prepare to move out of the Chengenhou Mansion. However, due to the fact that Lord Jiang suddenly canceled the plan to release and decided to sell the middle property unchanged, the transaction was cancelled, so Cao and Mrs. Jiang had a very unhappy quarrel. The two met in a carriage in the city, and almost clashed, but it was thanks to the nosy nature of a passing princess that separated the two.

Huang Yan inquired about Cao's news and knew that she was safe and sound, but from time to time she had quarrels with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Chengenhou and nephew Cao Wentai, and there was gossip that Cao Wentai intended to annex her private property, but in the first month, Empress Cao was stabbed, and Chengenhou wrote to beg for illness, so Cao Wentai stopped moving, and Cao's family had the strength to search for other properties. However, the Cao family had a verbal conflict with Mrs. Chengenhou and Mrs. Cao's second wife, and it became more and more unpopular with her mother's family. Although at present, the Chengenhou Mansion and the second room of the Cao family are busy with the affairs of Empress Cao, and they are worried about the emperor's opinion of the Cao family, so they have no time to pay attention to her, but several masters and wives in the branch room next to the Cao family have gone to her, and it is rumored that they are all going to take care of the property for her.

At present, it seems that Cao's method of dealing with it is not clever, but no one dares to openly rob her of her private property. The people in the Cao family who can speak can all have serious things to do, and they can't take care of her. There were many men and women under her, and among them there was no shortage of capable and faithful ones, and for a while, there seemed to be no danger. When she moves out of the Chengenhou Mansion and supports the door alone, as long as the Cao family can enjoy the honor of her relatives for one day, then she will be able to be stable for a day. There won't be anyone who doesn't have long eyes and run to her detriment.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Cao family loses power in the end, she is a single official woman, and she has been separated twice, and the people in the court will not get along with her. rushed her out of the Chengenhou Mansion, as if drawing a line with her mother's family, and the emperor would not pursue her. But if one day she decides to remarry, and the new husband's family does something to her private property through etiquette, outsiders will not be able to interfere.

Huang Yan felt that at present, the decent people in the capital, looking at the Cao family's previous marriage history, would not have the idea of marrying her into the door, and the undecent people were afraid that the Cao family would not look down on them. Therefore, she should not have any major troubles in the future, at most, her life is colder, and she is not as rich and comfortable as before. But her fiancé Xie Yinghui and brother-in-law Xie Xianzhi, who are her children, don't have to worry about her in a short time.

When Xie Yinghui saw these words, tears of emotion flowed involuntarily.
