In fact, it's no wonder that Xie Yingrong doesn't even want to maintain the character of a good and filial girl today. When she got up early in the morning, Ruyi opened the door a little, and she was blown by the wind in the bedroom. I heard that the hot water was sent from the small kitchen to the main room, and in such a short distance, it had already frozen, Xie Yingrong immediately decided not to go out today.

Even if she told her that she had caught a glimpse of the other three girls out of the yard, she never wavered. She was courteous in front of her mother-in-law in order to get a good dowry for herself. But she already has a good marriage, and there is no reason for her to freeze out of illness in order to pretend to be filial. The doctor said that she has a weak body and needs to be well maintained. In order for herself to live a long and healthy life, she should stay in a warm room honestly. If someone accuses her of not going to her mother-in-law to say goodbye and is suspected of being unfilial, she will say that she is sick and not well. With my mother's usual behavior, it is impossible to blame myself or anything.

Xie Yingrong was very at ease.

She nested on the warm kang all day, and asked the girl to move the screen to the door of the house, so as to prevent people from entering and exiting, the door was opened and closed, and there would be cold wind blowing into the inner room. She has been waiting for someone to come to the door to pick her thorns, and even prepared all the gadgets that pretend to be sick, and she can lie down and act at any time, but no one has come to her door for a day, telling her to wait for a day in vain, and she is holding her breath.

Of course, no one will come to her, the three Xie Mulin sisters don't care if she will come to the upper room to say goodbye, it is her own business to be lazy, if she comes, the three of them are afraid that they will not be able to get along happily when they are busy.

The letters and messages that come out today are not small. This heavy snowfall has brought many effects. Many people got sick, and many families canceled their original feasts. Even the official celebration that was supposed to be held on the day of the New Year was decided to be canceled after discussion between the King of Yan, the governor, the political envoy and the envoy of the Imperial Inspectorate, and only the chief officials of each yamen led their subordinates to perform a simple ritual of worshiping the gods and praying for blessings. On the one hand, everyone has to be busy with disaster relief, and on the other hand, they also have to prepare for the next heavy snowstorm and more people will be affected.

The subordinates sent by Wen to deliver things to the Yamen of the political envoy failed to see the head of the family, Xie Pu, but brought back the news of the casualties of the collapse of the house in the outer city. It is said that 78 houses collapsed in the area where the poor lived, and more than 130 houses were damaged, some with broken roofs, some with collapsed walls, and some with broken doors and windows. Seventeen people died in the snowstorm, more than 80 were injured, and even more fell ill, and it is impossible to count them.

Xie Pu took his men to inspect the outer city, where he was organizing people to repair their houses and place the people who had been displaced by the disaster in the empty houses of several nearby temples and Taoist temples. The Yanwang Mansion sent military doctors from the army to come over to diagnose and treat the wounded and sick, and some doctors in the city rushed to help when they heard the news. Now that the victims have a place to live and hot porridge to eat, they have settled down for the time being, but there are still a lot of troubles in the future. An old man who is good at watching the sky predicts that this heavy snowstorm will not stop in a day or two, and in order to prevent more people from being affected, there is still a lot to be done by the political envoy in charge of civil affairs.

Wen saw that his daughters took care of the affairs of the family very well, so he went out with confidence. She sent letters to the families of several subordinate officials in the neighborhood in advance, and made an appointment to visit Zhou's house together, so that she could discuss with Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wednesday the arrangements for the porridge and medicine on the day of the funeral of Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Chow and Mrs. Wednesday were very much in favor, and the latter even thought: "In such a day, this can also help a few more poor people." Even when they see us holding a big funeral for the elderly, they are too extravagant, and they will not have too much resentment. ”

Mrs. Zhou paused when she heard this, and felt that her younger sibling's words were too straightforward, but as a wife, she could not reject her husband's decision, and this decision was under the banner of filial piety, let alone refute. She could only smile and nod, and said vaguely: "If you can accumulate more yin virtue blessings for your parents-in-law, it will naturally be a great thing." "I mixed up my brother and sister's words. Mrs. Wednesday naturally noticed it and didn't say much.

Wen and several wives who came with him were vaguely aware that there was something in the Zhou family's concubine's words, but Wen didn't ask, and the others obediently turned a deaf ear. After discussing the specific arrangements, there were two officials who had dealt with the second and fourth wives of the Zhou family in the past, and inquired about the "illness" of the two wives.

Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wednesday both knew that their two concubines were not really sick, and said that they were sick, just to cover up their shame, so they also acted cooperatively, thanked the two wives for their concern, and talked about the illnesses of the concubines in a decent manner, which sounded like that.

Seeing that the matter was almost over, Wen offered to leave. When the Zhou family sent them out, they happened to meet the housekeeper of the Yuan family who came to offer incense, saying that they were ordered by Mrs. Yuan to come to offer condolences to Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise. Mrs. Wednesday lowered her head and sighed secretly.

Wen was gone, and several wives who traveled with her were very surprised. Everyone knows that the second room of the Zhou family once had the idea of Mrs. Yuan's only son with Mrs. Xu, and it was obviously ill-intentioned, and Mrs. Zhou was almost angry because of this. She has been dead for so many days, and she hasn't seen the Yuan family come to the door, and everyone thought that the Yuan family had a grudge against the Zhou family and Mrs. Xu, but they never expected that Mrs. Yuan would send someone to condole!

It's normal that she didn't come in person. She's sick today. But she didn't send anyone, and outsiders couldn't find any reason. She sent someone, but she was extraordinarily generous and kind.

also made the second room of the Zhou family and Mrs. Xu despicable and shameless.

Wen cordially persuaded Mrs. Zhou to greet the guests who came to mourn, and her group often came and went, so it didn't matter if they didn't have to send each other. Mrs. Zhou Da motioned to her younger siblings Mrs. Wednesday to complete the task of sending off the guests for herself, and went to talk to the housekeeper of the Yuan family herself. She must find out what the Yuan family thinks of her family, if she can reach an understanding with the Yuan family because of the death of her mother-in-law, and not settle this grudge, of course, it would be great. The son of the Yuan family will be the head of the military power in the north in the future, where can the Zhou family be offended now?

Wen and the others went out of the door of the Zhou family and said their final goodbyes to Mrs. Wednesday. But on the way home, several of them exchanged glances with each other, and they couldn't help but sigh. If Mrs. Yuan really forgave the Zhou family, she really didn't say anything about her character. The Yuan family has been loyal and good for generations, and the door style is upright, which is really admirable!

After everyone returned to their respective homes, in less than an hour, Mrs. Wan also got the news, and specially ran to Xie's house to chat with her in-laws Wen: "The Yuan family's character is really not said!" What's even more rare is that the etiquette is thorough. Obviously, the two wives of his family are sick today, but they still haven't forgotten to send someone to the Zhou family to offer condolences, which is really impeccable! It's the Zhou family that is hateful, it's just that they did ugly things before, and now they are embarrassed to pretend to be nothing, and they are so thick-skinned when they accept the Yuan family's courtesy! ”

After scolding the Zhou family, Mrs. Wan approached the Wen family mysteriously and said, "In-laws, have you heard?" The people of the Zhou family have quietly let people look at the house outside in the past two days! ”
