Xie Yingrong never appeared in Xie Yinghui's courtyard again, but Xie Mulin later heard from Cai Laotian's family, she went around the garden, and took a few antique ornaments and calligraphy and paintings from the water pavilion and the courtyard where guests were entertained in the garden.

Although these antique calligraphy and paintings are not peerless treasures, they are also worth some money, and they can be used as seven or eight hundred taels of silver when they are taken to a pawnshop. Xie Yingrong honored Mrs. Xie with the money and won Mrs. Xie's praise.

Seven or eight hundred taels of silver can not only solve Mrs. Xie's financial crisis immediately, as long as there are no large expenses, it seems that there is no need to worry about living expenses in the next two years. The furnishings in the garden were all handled by the Cao family. Mrs. Xie seems to think that if the third granddaughter can take advantage of the Cao family, she is a good child, as if the Cao family bought these things with not the Xie family's money.

Then she used these tea sets brought out from home to hold a tea party, which was very successful, and no one in Huiyuan Street laughed at her shabby anymore, and I heard that she was going to move back to her old house soon, and there were many more people to curry favor with her. Even the old lady of the Bian family treated her a little kindly.

Mrs. Xie was in a happy mood, and when she saw her third granddaughter Xie Yingrong, she felt more and more pleasing to the eye.

Xie Mulin heard that Xie Yingrong was very favored in front of Mrs. Xie, and even Xie Xianzhi personally mentioned to the latter that she was suspected of stealing, but the old lady understated it. Xie Yingrong may have been vaccinated in front of the old lady in advance, and the old lady understood this to mean that her granddaughter wanted to take advantage of Xie Yinghui, the daughter of the Cao family, but was misunderstood by Xie Xianzhi, and in turn defended Xie Yingrong in front of Xie Xianzhi.

Xie Xianzhi originally wanted to take on the responsibility of his eldest brother, so as to discipline his sister and prevent her from going the wrong way, but he didn't expect that the first time he made a move, he was rejected by his grandmother. He felt a little aggrieved in his heart, but fortunately, Xie Jinzhi, Xie Huizhi and Xie Mulin were very supportive of him, and Wen's mother also praised him for being a responsible and good brother, so he regained his strength.

And Xie Mulin was a little unaccustomed to Xie Yingrong's smug face. Isn't it just pawning a few valuable things at home and exchanging them for silver to make the old lady's pocket money? If Xie Yingrong doesn't do this kind of thing, someone else will do it. Xie Pu had already instructed the Wen family and the shopkeeper Mao, but what he said was to sell some things that were not needed at home, and the shopkeeper Mao had also sorted them out, and he hadn't had time to find a reliable buyer. Xie Yingrong picked up people's teeth and wisdom, but regarded himself as a great hero.

So Xie Mulin took advantage of the fact that when he went with the Wen family to ask Mrs. Xie for peace, he deliberately used the volume that the latter could hear, pulling the pearl and whispering: "Jin Xuantang is about to start renovation, although the shopkeeper Mao will look at the hired craftsmen and not let them enter the house, but no one can guarantee that these people's hands and feet will be clean, so we still have to sort out the old lady's things and make a list." Moreover, the old lady's house was first raided by officers and soldiers, and the Pingnanbo Mansion was visited again, and the third sister went to look for something, so we don't know what is left. If you make a mistake and wronged a good person, it will not be good. I have to ask Sister Pearl to go on this matter. ”

Pearl hurriedly said: "This is as it should be. When I returned to the old lady, I went with the second girl. But at the same time, she also wanted to bring an extra helper, "Beeswax is honest, and she went to Jinxuantang with the three girls to pack her things, so she naturally knows what the three girls have brought with them." I asked her to give me a hand, and it would be much easier to make a list. ”

Xie Mulin smiled and secretly glanced at Old Lady Xie: "Sister Pearl likes to let whoever she wants to be a helper, let her do it." I also think that beeswax is quite capable, she followed behind the third sister that day, and her hands were full of large bags and small bags, she could still walk so fast, which shows that she is a strong person. ”

Xie Mulin and Pearl were "chatting" outside the window, but the old lady Xie in the window was thoughtful.

She couldn't help but be careful, since the family's mansion was raided, she never went back, and she didn't know what her yard had been ruined into, and how many good things had been looted. The three granddaughters persuaded her several times before she agreed to let the children help her pick up clothes and jewelry, which she would wear when preparing for the tea party. She did a good job at the tea party, and saw that her third granddaughter had made a few antiques, and got a large amount of money for her to spend, so she was happy, but she didn't ask the child what list or tickets she wanted.

She didn't know if Xie Yingrong really only took those antique calligraphy and paintings as seven or eight hundred taels of silver and handed them over to her without a penny, nor did she know if Xie Yingrong had taken away other things, but she hid them and didn't let her know......

Mrs. Xie has always been willing to take advantage of others, but if someone else wants to take advantage of her, she will be extremely uncomfortable. Not to mention, this bargain is still taken under her nose.

Old Mrs. Xie took the initiative to urge Pearl to go back to Jinxuan Hall to count things. But how to make a clear inventory of this kind of thing? The furnishings in Jin Xuan Hall have a lot of fine products, and the Cao family knows everything in his heart. Her subordinates returned to the mansion to take away the precious objects, how could they let Jin Xuantang go? Whether Xie Yingrong embezzled her grandmother's things privately is known only to her. Anyway, as a result of the pearl counting, Mrs. Xie's loss must be not small.

Her old man couldn't help but be suspicious, changed her previous love for Xie Yingrong, and began to be suspicious of her. What clothes and jewelry appeared on Xie Yingrong's body that she thought were raw, she must inquire about the origin; Xie Yingrong's room, bed, mirror and other places where there might be things to hide, all asked her to instruct Pearl and the two mothers-in-law, and searched again and again, just to find out if the third granddaughter had private property that she didn't know about.

Even the girl Beeswax next to Xie Yingrong was targeted by her, every time she was sent out to run errands to buy something and deliver a letter, she would definitely be called over by Mrs. Xie afterwards and ask carefully, lest the third granddaughter use the girl to go out and pawn some precious objects of unknown origin......

Xie Yingrong was proud for a few days, and he was tormented by Mrs. Xie's suspicions, and Xie Mulin was in a much happier mood when he heard the news. I hope that Miss Xie San has suffered this loss, and she will never play a clever trick in the future.

On this side of Gongyuan West Street, the Xie family packed up their things in the mansion, and the cleaning went quite smoothly, although it took a lot of effort to transport the things back to the residence, but after everyone retrieved their personal belongings, the quality of life was greatly improved.

Subsequently, Xie Xianzhi took a few younger brothers, together with the male and female servants in the family, and began to clean and maintain the objects in the outer house, organize and pack them, and register them. Wen took his daughters and the daughter-in-law of the family to prepare for the upcoming trip.

Shopkeeper Mao took someone to renovate Jinxuan Hall, and after it was completed, the entrances and exits of the Xie family's inner house were sealed, leaving only one door. In addition, the area around the outer courtyard also needs to be rebuilt, and even the gate of the garden has to be changed to separate it from Xie's house. Because Xie Yingrong took away a few decorations from the interior of the buildings in the garden, Shopkeeper Mao had to buy some things that were not too bad to make up for them, so as not to make the house empty and unsightly when entertaining tenants in the future.

The Xie family has temporarily entered a period of calm, and everyone has something to do, and everyone is safe. On the other side of Pingnanbo's Mansion and Cao's family, due to Xie Yinghui's opposition to her mother's remarriage, the opposition between Pingnanbo's wife Cheng and her sister-in-law Cao Shuqing, as well as Duchess Chengen's "stroke", woke up again, causing all kinds of turmoil.

The Cao family has once again become the center of public opinion in Beijing.
