Chapter 26: Ancestral Hall

————————

It was not the first time Xie Zhilin had come to the ancestral hall, but it was the first time he had come in with this titular sister-in-law.

On the way, he warned himself early on the road to be steady and not to be looked down upon.

But I didn't expect that after arriving at the ancestral hall, the people on the side only cared about burning Buddhist scriptures by themselves.

The peony belt has already obtained the forty thick stacked Buddhist scripture manuscripts of the ancestral hall and burned them for a long time, and now they are only half burned.

He was young and didn't have enough heart, so he couldn't hold back in the end, "This is what you and Xie Mingyue have been doing in the submarine building these days?" ”

Ming Jin didn't look at him, his white fingers twisted a piece of paper and put it in the brazier, but said: "Her words are ugly, I am afraid that she will stain the eyes of her ancestors, and blame me, so I only let her practice calligraphy first." ”

Dislike is self-contained, natural and serious.

Xie Zhilin was stunned, but she could taste a little bit of her familiarity and love for the latter.

He frowned and said lightly: "Her words are extremely ugly. ”

Then he didn't know what to say, and this sister-in-law, he had a natural reason not to be close.

Whether it's interests, or emotions.

But when it comes to fighting and means, he is self-aware, he is not an opponent, at least not yet.

Talking about family affection is even more funny.

He understands that the other party has been standing on a high place since he was born, and he doesn't have to look down to see if he can get that position in this life.

As long as she doesn't die, the Xie family's lineage is still her world.

Born with strict etiquette protection, and....

"Father has never been tired of you, everything is just an illusion." He gritted his teeth, jealous to the extreme, and extremely unfair in his heart, and his tone was a little uncontrollable.

"All of this today, in fact, he asked the third uncle to cooperate with you, just to clear the obstacles at home for you."

Before he could finish speaking, he glanced at it.

It's like looking at a fool.

"What a son, not too young, how can you think about things so emotionally."

"Don't you know how scheming he is, how cold-blooded and ruthless he is?"

"But all means, must weigh the pros and cons, you look at my majesty today, but I don't know if I am holding chicken feathers as an arrow, deliberately making my grandmother uncomfortable, and also in order to show face in front of you children, but it seems to be working well at present."

Her faint gaze slid over him, as if she was smiling, but Xie Zhilu's expression couldn't be contained, and she asked slightly: "How can you say that about father, you..."

"I scolded him many times since I was a child, and I hit him with a vase, and in the end he was not willing to beat me, isn't he jealous?"

Xie Zhixuan's face turned pale.

Ming Jin turned his face and continued to burn the paper, his voice was weaker than his expression, "Don't trouble me with your relationship with him, it's a matter between you, I don't bear the consequences, and between me and him, no one in the Xie family can interfere, including you." ”

Her arrogance and indifference seem to have only revealed the tip of the iceberg in this ancestral hall.

Even in the confrontation and conflict in the main house before, she has never changed her demeanor.

"Xie Mingjin!" Xie Zhiling's handsome little face was really like a young man of his age in a hurry, because of restraint, he didn't know what words to use to attack Ming Jin, so he could only look at Ming Jin, and turned around with disgust and annoyance.

"Thank you."

Suddenly called.

"Mingyue is a little girl, you can just look at the superficial rules and take it as a warning, but you are different."

"What I saw and heard today, I hope you understand what it really means."

Xie Zhilin paused, and couldn't help but turn around to look at her, but only to see the smoke rising from the burning pages of the Buddhist scriptures lingering beside her, gray and white, covering her eyebrows and eyes, rendering the outline of the skin, blending her with the large and seemingly countless strict tablets.

The solemnity of the ancestral hall is like an execution ground roaring out of hell.

At that time, at a young age, he felt for no reason that this sister in her prime had a twilight that was beyond the world.

He was a little frightened.

——————

Xie Li was tired, and did not go back to his courtyard to rest, asked where Ming Jin was, and came to the ancestral hall, only to see the ashes of the brazier that had been extinguished but half full.

Ming Jin is in the tea pavilion next to the ancestral hall.

Looking at the Sunshine Hall, the body is clean, pleasing to the eye, and washing away the fatigue.

This is what my Xie family's daughter should look like.

As soon as they met, Xie Li drank tea first, relieved the depression accumulated in his heart, and then looked at Ming Jin, who didn't drink tea and only made tea for him, considered one or two, and still said the question he had suppressed before: "Your father and you have a secret letter to inform you to start today?" ”

"How?"

"Then why did you suddenly have a seizure today..."

Bi Shiyi is really not something he can deploy, the former belongs to the dark guard, and the dark guard only belongs to the lineage.

"Maybe I know him...," Ming Jin sighed, "I don't know what my father did when he let me out, but I guess the main reason is in the capital, and I should go to the capital, and I want to stay in Wuling, either to make my grandmother happy, or to make her happy for me." ”

Xie Li always felt that his niece's words were not generally sharp and profound, and she could always get into the wood.

It's just listening to the diaphragm.

Yes, this concubine is also a person who is extremely disgusted with herself, and her demeanor will be damaged.

And she doesn't care about this damage, she doesn't care about hypocrisy and cover-up - the old lady was unwilling to cover it up when she was at her peak before, and now she doesn't have to.

However, he suspected that his eldest brother was angry because he was too hurt by his daughter four years ago and sent Beizhuang away.

Ming Jin didn't pay attention to Xie Li's secret slander, only kept the sigh on his face, and continued to say tactfully: "He has never done useless things, he not only let my grandmother send someone to harm me, but also let me go back to Wuling. With his daughter on one side and his mother on the other, he has to control the situation, so I guess there is a layout here. And the owner has acted too recklessly over the years, and it is useless for the Xie family, if he is far away in the capital and does not know, the third uncle, you will also report it. I know, but I don't have the ability to control it, I really don't care, that is, I deliberately indulge, fatten their greed, magnify the charges of the owner, replace the Xie family to bear the Dongyang County case, block the mouths of political enemies, and also take out my grandmother, and close the case into an iron case, to ensure that the Xie family's reputation will not lose too much, and it will not have much impact on his official career. ”

"As for the matter between me and my grandmother, no one will die left or right, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses to him, but as long as I win, there will be no damage to the interests of the family."

She seemed to be sure that Xie Yuan would choose to be on her side, and she was also sure that Xie Yuan knew that she would win.

Father and daughter know each other too well.

"If I say something wrong, the third uncle will point out, why look at me like this."

Xie Li's expression was a little heavy, as if he sighed and sighed: "If you are a son...."

"If I were a son, my father would have beaten me to death."

Ming Jin tilted his head and rubbed his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Third uncle, I hope that if I am not the Xie family...."

The person in front of her used to ride a big horse when she was young, and what she said at this moment was sincere.

Xie Li's expression stiffened slightly, "You also said this kind of thing to your father?" ”

Ming Jin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he was not very sure.

"Forget."

More serious, she remembered.

Xie Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Can I guess that you should have said something more excessive." ”

Ming should not be, but he avoided his gaze.

She confidently taught Xie Mingyue the rules, but never mentioned the many rudeness between herself and her father.

"I was young at the time, and I wasn't very sensible."

She said softly, slightly apologetic.

Xie Li didn't bother with the affairs between their father and daughter, because casually pulling it would easily get involved with the sister-in-law whose life and death were unknown, and it was taboo at every turn, and he didn't have the guts.

"The matter has been resolved, why did your father invite you back to the capital, I have no power to take care of it, let alone dare to take care of it, you know that the third uncle is useless, for fear of your father."

"But I still wish you ...."

Xie Li got up, sighed, stretched out his hand, and realized that the niece who was small but even smarter than the eldest brother had grown up, and she didn't know whether it was her father or mother for a while, and it would probably take a few years to know.

The left-right sexual means and style are inherited from his Xie girl's superior family style.

She never disappointed.

He hesitated a little, but after a pause, he still rubbed Ming Jin's head.

"I hope you're a little confused, it's good to be like that girl in Mingyue."

Ming Jin couldn't help but smile, but with a smile, he asked Xie Li very casually, "Has the third uncle considered taking time to split up?" ”

Such a rebellious word came out of her mouth so naturally.

But it must have been plotted for a long time.

"You!" Xie Li was shocked but was quiet for a while, and only said in a low voice: "Share honor and disgrace." ”

Ming Jin expected this result, and still chatted with him after dinner, and said, "Isn't it okay for Sister Dai and Brother Xiu?" ”

His third uncle has a pair of sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, and his son-in-law Xie Zhixiu is studying in the capital, but no matter where the children are, the father is always concerned.

Xie Li's face changed slightly, and he stared at Ming for a while before he said in a deep voice: "They are my children, but you and your father are also my closest relatives." ”

"It is an inseparable piece of flesh and blood, unless it is cut by a sharp blade, how can it be separated by denying itself?"

How could Ming Jin not understand this truth.

It's not that she doesn't know the naivety of what she says, but she just wants to test it.

Actually, it's not that I don't know the result, but if I really see it, it's still .....

Seeing the helplessness between Ming Jin's eyebrows, Xie Li was a little unbearable, and wanted to ask the other party why he had such a rebellious mind, and whether he noticed any hidden worries in the family, but he knew his identity, and he also knew what his eldest brother avoided.

So he deliberately pretended to change the topic very casually, "The bastard caught in the backyard, you deal with it?" ”

"Well, I'll come, third uncle, you'll scare him."

Neither of them mentioned the topic just now, and they had reached a tacit understanding.
