Five days later.

Old lady Xie and his entourage finally arrived in the capital by boat.

Xie Qingshan, who had been waiting at the dock for three days, hurriedly raised his smile and saluted: "The slave has seen the old lady." ”

Every year, Xie Qingshan has to return to Lin'an on behalf of his master to send pension money, and Mrs. Xie is very familiar with Xie Qingshan - even more familiar with his son Xie Jun.

Xie Jun has not returned to Lin'an since he entered the capital. In the past ten years, in addition to sending the silver back on time, there is only a half-year letter to the family.

Old lady Xie had been tired all the way, but her spirit was quite good, and she smiled at Xie Qingshan: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Mrs. Xie is in her forties, and she is really not old. When he was young, he was born with a good skin, and he has lived a comfortable life over the years, looking mentally and decent. There are a few shallow wrinkles on the forehead at the corners of the eyes.

In comparison, the Xu family, who followed closely, was much older.

Xu was already five years older than Mrs. Xie, and he was "overworked" when he was young, and the speed of aging and decay when he was old was also staggering. A dull yellow face, full of wrinkles, and a slightly curved waist.

Standing beside the pampered and graceful old lady Xie is like a rough country woman.

Xie Qingshan faced the Xu family, but he was not as attentive and thoughtful as the old lady Xie, and bowed slightly and hugged his fists: "The slave greets the old lady." ”

A bastard who looks down on people!

Back then, she personally bought the scholar who sent it to Xie Jun. Now that the master is soaring, Xie Qingshan's dog is using his strength, and he is also putting up a score in front of her.

Like Xie Jun, they are white-eyed wolves!

Xu scolded a few words in his heart as usual, but a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Qingshan, get up quickly." ”

Behind Xu was a man in his thirties. The man was of medium height, with a look of excitement and nervousness that had just entered the capital.

This man is none other than Xie Ming, the son of the Xu family.

Xie Ming and Mrs. Xie have no blood relationship, their appearance is not the slightest resemblance, and their facial features are also correct.

Xie Ming's wife, Que, was born in a merchant, with a fair complexion and a bit of beauty. A pair of eyes are extraordinarily flexible, revealing shrewdness and ability.

Xie Qingshan smiled and saluted one by one: "Second master, second wife." ”

Then, there are Xie Ming and Que's two sons and one daughter: "Eldest Miss, Second Young Master, Third Young Master." ”

The eldest Xie Lanxi, who is twelve years old this year, is beautiful and slender. Xie Yuanzhou is nine years old this year, which is the age of vigorous and lively activity.

The youngest, Xie Yuanwei, was only four years old, and he was born white and fat, like a small meat bun, quite cute.

Old lady Xie has long stopped taking the Xu family in his eyes, and is cold and indifferent to his stepson Xie Ming. However, these three children have grown up in front of his eyes, and Mrs. Xie always treats them with a little love.

"Lan Niang, Brother Zhou, Brother Wei, grandfather will take you to Xie Mansion." Old Lady Xie greeted her grandchildren with a smile.

The three children got down together and hugged Mrs. Xie into the carriage.

……

Xie Ming and his wife supported Xu on the left and right.

Xie Ming lowered his voice and said, "Mother, do we really want to live in the capital in the future?" ”

There was a bit of confusion in his voice.

Xu snorted, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Of course you have to live!" If I hadn't emptied my family money back then, where would he Xie Jun get to today's scenery. The stepmother is also a mother! He is filial to me! ”

As soon as he remembered that year, Xu was full of remorse.

When he was young, Xie Jun was extremely handsome, sweet and pleasing, a mother, and he was more affectionate than his own mother. She knew that Xie Jun intended to please herself, in order to coax her to pay for the money, but she still relented.

She stayed up for several nights and didn't sleep well, but finally made up her mind to take out her savings for many years for Xie Jun to study and take scientific exams.

Xie Jun is already talented and intelligent, and with the guidance of Confucianism, he has advanced by leaps and bounds. Sure enough, he was admitted to the township examination in one fell swoop, and then he explored flowers in high school. married the beautiful Yongning County Lord, became the son-in-law of Huainan Palace, and became the Honglu Siqing of the fourth grade.

The Xie family has changed their doors so far, and everyone is envious.

What is hateful is that Xie Jun turned his face ruthlessly, and he was extremely cold to her, a stepmother.

A few hundred taels of silver every year were all sent to Mrs. Xie. She wants silver for her family, so she has to serve the old lady Xie for a good life, and she is full of leisure. Even with his son Xie Ming, he couldn't straighten his waist, and his temperament became more and more gentle.

Xu's eyes swept away, and he whispered hatefully: "Give me a head and a chest!" We neither stole nor robbed, but received the letter before coming to the capital. I didn't stand up to anyone! What are you doing with this cringe? ”

Xie Ming snorted and straightened his waist obediently.

Xu turned his head and told his daughter-in-law Que: "You give me a little smarter." The county lord lives in the county lord's mansion, and the Xie family's inner house now doesn't even have a person in charge, so you and I will have to worry more about it in the future. ”

Aunt Ding is just a concubine. A family with a head and face categorically has no reason to let the concubine be in charge of the inner house.

Since she came to the capital, she should take over the Xie family's house. How can you scrape a layer of oil and water from the Xie family to make a private house!

Along the way, the Que family had already heard similar advice several times, and immediately whispered when he heard the words: "Don't worry, mother, I know what to do." ”

The son is cowardly and useless, but fortunately, the daughter-in-law is shrewd and obedient.

Xu hummed in satisfaction.

……

An hour later.

Xie Jun hurried back to Xie's mansion.

The father and son, who have been separated for many years, are excited and touching at the reunion.

"Father, son is not filial, and he has not been by his side for many years." Xie Jun knelt in front of Old Lady Xie and cried bitterly: "My son is not filial!" ”

Old lady Xie burst into tears, and reached out to stroke Xie Jun's head tremblingly.

Before the touching words could be spoken, Xu's voice had already sounded: "As the eldest son, you have not returned to Lin'an to visit your father and mother for so many years, and you are indeed unfilial." Fortunately, your second brother has been by your father's side to do his filial piety! ”

Xie Jun: "......"

No matter how thick-skinned Xie Jun was, he couldn't cry anymore.

Old Lady Xie glared at Xu angrily: "Shut up!" Our father and son are talking, how can you interject! ”

Xu Shi stopped shutting down, and snorted fiercely in his heart.

When she was so poor that she couldn't open the pot, Mrs. Xie couldn't wait to stick it to her every day, and she never hated the flesh. She also really likes Mrs. Xie, and willingly marries him and works hard for him.

Hateful men are things without conscience! Turning your face is faster than turning a book!

What is rich and noble, don't forget each other!

What is yours is mine!

It's all bullshit!

Once rich and powerful, the cool face was soon revealed. began to dislike her old pearl yellow, disgusted with her disgraceful past, bought a young and beautiful maid to "serve" by her side, and took a lot of silver to play a show......

Bah! Shameless old thing!

The bastard son who was born is generally shameless with Lao Tzu!
