136 Face to face
Xie Qi said: "If the old lady goes to Beijing to become an old feudal monarch, she will have to think of bringing me over, I will stay here, but there is no way to live." ”
Wang glanced at her and said, "Do you think that if you go to Jingshi, you will have a good life?" In the future, your third aunt will be in charge, and you also know that she has had a holiday with me, and she hates you like something, what good is it for you to go? It's better to stay first, wait for me to get the pension money in hand, and then find a way to buy a place for you to live in Beijing, and move there together, so that you can take care of it then, and you don't have to look at your aunt's face. ”
Xie Qi said happily: "It turns out that the old lady has already calculated it, so what is the granddaughter worried about?" He picked up the tea next to him and handed it to Wang, "Old lady, please drink tea!" ”
Xie Wan stood under the crape myrtle tree in the courtyard, and couldn't help but sneer when he heard Wang's wishful thinking. But she didn't say anything, and when she looked back, the people inside were huddled together and whispering, and she raised her feet and prepared to leave.
"It turns out that the three girls are here."
Only then did he walk to the gate of the courtyard and said softly to a person in front of him. Xie Wan raised his head, and in front of him stood Aunt Deng in plain clothes.
Throwing away a wide robe with a deep color that has not changed over the years, she looks a few years old in front of her in mourning clothes, and there is also a shallow smile on her face that can't see laughter all year round.
It's like a woman in her forties. Xie Wan finished saying this in his heart, and suddenly looked at her again. There seems to be a faint fragrance on her body.
"Aunt Deng also lights incense?" She asked.
"I'm a cheap concubine, how can I be qualified to light incense?" She said. Then subconsciously sniffed.
Xie Wan looked at her: "You don't burn paper in the mourning hall, what are you doing here?" Originally, Xie Rong pointed out that day that she and the two aunts in Xie Hong's room went to the spirit to burn paper. It's just that after Xie Rong changed his mind and abandoned the long house and didn't use it, she was the only one left to do this errand. And she should be there even more now.
Aunt Deng blessed her and said, "The concubine has been serving the old lady here for the past few days. The matter of burning paper was taken care of by Mama Zhou. ”
Xie Wan thought about it, and seemed to hear Xie Lang mention this, so he didn't say anything and walked out of the door.
Aunt Deng waited until she was out of the door before turning around and walking into the courtyard.
Xie Wan stood under the porch and looked back at where she had stood before, frowned for a moment, and suddenly turned back to look at Xing Zhu.
The funeral was held for a total of seven days, and although Xie Rong had an official position, his rank was not enough to benefit his relatives, so it was a lot simpler in the official household in Beijing. But in Qinghe, the pomp and circumstance are very grand.
The Xie family was already powerful, and now there is a Xie Rong, so all the people in the neighboring counties who have dealings with the Xie Mansion have come to mourn.
In addition, there were many local officials, including Xu Ju, and even the magistrate of Qingyuan Prefecture heard that Qi Song was going to come to the palace in person, so he brought the ceremony over. Qi Song and Xie Fu were originally relatives, although they were not in harmony, but they were able to reason, so the day after the funeral began. Qi Song led the whole family to Xie's mansion.
For such a big matter, Ren Fu naturally received the news a long time ago.
Master Ren sat in the house for two days, and he could hear that people came back to say that Xie Rong was in charge of Xie Mansion this time, so almost the entire Wang clan official households in Qingyuan Prefecture went to give face. I couldn't sit still.
"In the end, our two families have been friends for so many years, and now Xie Rong is in charge, so let's not go. In the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to talk when we meet. ”
Mrs. Ren said with a heavy face: "If you want to go, you can go!" I'm not going! What about Xie Rong's house? She Wang did it to me like that, don't expect me to make friends with them again in this life! Then he glared at her husband, "If you go." Don't give me back! ”
Master Ren was speechless, so he had to give up. But the next day. Xie Fu received Yi Yin from Ren Fu again.
The person who collected the accounts was Pang Fu's son Pang Xin, who had been by Xie Rong's side on an errand all these years. After getting this silver, Pang Xin told Pang Fu, Pang Fu thought about it, and then told Xie Rong, and then also told Xie Wan.
Xie Rong said: "The visitors are guests, reward them with some money to go back, and let them say hello to Master Ren on their behalf." ”
Xie Wan smiled and said, "It will never be Mrs. Ren's idea." ”
Mrs. Ren was so angry with the Wang family that she was angry, and because of this, the conspiracy was exposed, so Xie Wan saw the joke, and after putting down such cruel words, it was strange that she could still make friends with Xie Fu again.
On the day of the funeral, it snowed heavily. The cemetery of the Xie family is on the east mountain of Wutouzhuang, and the entire Wutouzhuang was shrouded in a white hazy flying snow that day, which added a bit of solemn and sad atmosphere to the funeral.
That night, Xu Ju personally came to the door and sent the final conclusion of the case.
Xie Wan asked Qian Zhuang to listen.
Xu Yu said: "After investigating for so many days, it was found that except for Ling Tang, who was the most suspicious, everyone else had alibi evidence. The relevant files are all here, and I would like to ask you to indicate how to finalize the case. ”
Xie Rong picked up the file and flipped through it, he couldn't see anything on his expression, after reading it, he put it down, and was silent for a moment at the portrait of Xie Qigong on the wall, and then slowly turned around and said: "I came to this world naked, giving me food and clothing and my parents, now I have lost my strict father, how can I not help but lose my loving mother again?" If there is Lord Lao Xu, this case will be closed. ”
Xu Ju said yes.
Xie Rong looked at him with his hand, and said: "In the future, Lord Xu has something to be embarrassed about, but if you can use Xie Mou's place, just go to Beijing to find me." ”
Xu was stunned and bent down a little more.
The result of the matter does not seem to be surprising, in order to protect the Wang family, Xie Rong finally chose to bury Xie Qigong's grievances underground, and next, Xie Rong should look for her, right?
Xie Wan waited for Pang Xin on the second night after the funeral, and Xie Rong waited for her in Xie Qigong's former study in the main courtyard.
The affairs of the house have not been completed, and I can't leave the house for the time being. Xie Wan was asking Yuxue to cut a few plain clothes, Xie Qigong died so suddenly that she didn't even have time to prepare these clothes, and such clothes had to be worn for at least a year, and she had to rush out immediately.
She put on a cloak and took Xing Zhu Gu Xing to the main courtyard.
Xie Rong was the only one in the study, and he was throwing incense into the incense burner. Xie Wan entered the door and said to the third uncle. Then stand next to a pot of orchids inside the door.
Xie Rong waited until the fragrance rose from the stove before he glanced back at her. said, "Sit down." ”
Xie Wan sat down on a chair against the wall, quietly looking at the furnishings in the room. It's no different from the original setup. Only the portrait of his great-grandfather hanging on the wall was replaced by Xie Qigong's.
"I came to you to discuss the separation of the family." He got straight to the point, looked at her and said, "I heard that your second room is now your home, so I invited you to come." Since the account book in the house is already in your hands, and the title deed and the deed are also locked in this copper cabinet, then you will not have to count this item, your parents are not there, and you don't have to be filial piety in the house in the future, so the property in the house is divided into forty percent according to the rules. If it is inconvenient to divide it, it is necessary to charge it with money, or with money. What do you think? ”
Xie Wan stared at him, speechless for a moment.
How could Xie Rong so readily agree to give her forty percent of the family property? She pondered for a moment and said, "The third uncle is the son of the sect, and we are just grandchildren, in fact, it stands to reason that you can share a little more, why do you do this?" ”
Xie Rong looked at her, but said, "I heard that you have opened five or six rice shops in Jingshi in the past two years. The few shops in your hand were also running thriving, and your wealth is now not weak compared to Xie Mansion. And I know that you have several good guards with you. You're just a boudoir girl, and you tell me that you're so deliberate. For what? ”
Xie Wan's back stiffened, staring at him and unable to take his eyes off.
It turns out that he is also asking people to check her details! He had found out how much property she had. I also checked who was around her! No wonder he was silent during this time, but it turned out that he had already reassured her!
In fact, from the night when the Occultation was ready to fight back. She already knew that she couldn't contain the fire, Qian Zhuang knew about the martial arts Wang family, and when Xing Zhu and Gu Xing arrived that night, everyone also knew about it. The Huang family will definitely tell him all this, and with his rigor, they will naturally make another secret investigation of her.
She lowered her eyes and looked at her toes, and after a while, she raised her eyes and said, "Since the third uncle already knows so much, he should naturally know what Ling Tang and Brother Ling have done to me. There is Xie Qi's intention to murder me in the back garden, there is the fact that she tried to let people rape me in the Occult Moon Nunnery, and then there is the fact that Brother Ling summoned a strange man into my courtyard with the intention of framing me for being with others, are these not enough for me to invite two people to my side to defend?
"The third uncle also has a daughter, speaking of which, I am the same as Sister Wei, she is better than me because she has parents who love her and will stand up for her, as well as her own grandfather who pities her. I don't have anything, but I just want to make my life better and safer with my own efforts, so I used the money to open a few rice houses to make some money, is this wrong?
"Could it be that in the eyes of the third uncle, I should give up on myself, shrink back from now on, and let others bully?"
She smiled, "It's me to change to the third uncle, I don't know what I'll do?" ”
Xie Rong's face gradually sank.
When he doxxed unexpectedly, most people would show a look of astonishment, panic, and even panic, but she didn't, her face was always very calm and indifferent.
Calm people, of course, he has seen many. But like a person who has cultivated to the point of being pampered and humiliated before he is too young, he has never seen it.
From the words of the Huang family and the people in the house, all he heard recently was about her arrogance, he thought that it was just that they were shallow, and did not know that in addition to ladies, there was a kind of woman who lacked education and knowledge, and once she got some achievements, she began to get carried away and forget her identity.
At most, she is thinking about revenge on his mother for the grievances of the previous generation.
He could understand her feelings, but he couldn't change it, and he couldn't distract from it to change it. The house is not his battlefield, his battlefield is in the court, in the community, and in the world. Therefore, he can't feel any guilt about his mother's actions, he really doesn't have the time and energy.
As long as they don't make a big fuss, he won't interfere. So when he received Huang's letter, he didn't reply to Xie Qigong.
This is the second time he has had a formal dialogue with Xie Wan. During the first conversation, she forced him to remove Xie Hong's pile from the spirit, and this second time really made him touch her true body,—— she was not uneducated, let alone a person with a small eye, she was a person who really had the ability to become the principal.
How can an uneducated and uneducated person have such calm and self-control? (To be continued.) )
