In fact, Mrs. Xie also knows that the ninth sister of the Gu family is a clever person, and she knows what to do and what not to do. When her granddaughter presented the two pages of the letter to her, she glanced at them and smiled faintly.

Foolproof. But also revealed information that could be revealed, such as Gu Yilan emphasized in the letter that it was King Yi who came to the rescue, and he did not dare to forget the great grace of saving his life.

"The ninth sister of the Gu family is a wonderful person," Mrs. Xie smiled and handed the letter back to Xie Shurou: "Rou'er, you, a friend, can be regarded as honest with you, she is the granddaughter of Scholar Gu, and it is not easy for you to talk to this point." ”

These ancient people always have something to say, and Xie Shurou, the crossing party, reacted for two seconds before she realized what Xie Furandi meant. Of course, she couldn't let her grandmother see that she was slow to react, so she deliberately replied with a slow smile: "It's also for Sister Mu's sake." After all, we are all friends of Sister Mu, and she will never hide these things from Sister Mu, and it is not much fun to hide them from me. ”

"But too." Mrs. Xie nodded slightly: "You have already prepared the gift to the Anguo Mansion today?" ”

"It's been prepared for a long time, and I've sent the appropriate people away. Isn't it grandmother who has other commands? Xie Shurou replied.

"There are no cherry blossoms on the side," Mrs. Xie replied with a smile: "It's just that I want to invite your third uncle's cousin's family to Beijing after the New Year." It was Mrs. Cui who came to our house a few years ago, who married to Qingzhou. ”

What does this kind of thing have to do with her, Xie Shurou was stunned again. The grandmother wants to invite the relatives of the third uncle to Beijing and discuss with the third uncle, according to her, the third uncle and mother are afraid that they are very happy, and there is nothing to discuss. As for the lady in Qingzhou, the grandmother can directly ask the third uncle to write to invite guests, their home is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the lady will not refuse to be a guest at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Fortunately, Xie Shurou has been here for almost two years, and she is already very experienced in dealing with this group of ancient people who are so shrewd that they are like ghosts, she is afraid that she will be stupid by talking nonsense, so she smiled a decent "nonsense": "Now that the winter solstice has passed, and all families are busy in the New Year, if the grandmother wants to invite that lady to Beijing for the New Year, she has to ask the third uncle to write to invite her earlier." ”

"Yes." Xie Furu nodded: "I was thinking, it's best to let her family come over in the first month, if it's in time, it's not impossible to come to our house for the New Year, but the time is too tight, I'm afraid of inconvenience." ”

"So urgent?" Xie Shurou was stunned again, and then immediately pretended to understand and smiled: "Even if I want to discuss with the third uncle and aunt, let her hurry to send an urgent letter in these two days." ”

"Your third uncle and aunt have already written to Qingzhou yesterday." Mrs. Xie replied.

Have you already written to please? Xie Shurou raised her head and looked at Mrs. Xie, and suddenly had some reactions to what was going on.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xie lowered her eyelids, stared at the hand stove in her hand, as if she was pondering something, and after being quiet for a long time, she spoke again: "It would be great if it could be caught up before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Beijing Lantern Festival is really lively, most of the ladies and sisters of the Xungui family will go out to enjoy the lanterns that day, and their family finally entered Beijing for a trip, it would be a pity if they missed it." ”

"Grandmother's." Xie Shurou, who had a good psychology, calmed down, and she pulled the corners of her mouth slightly at Mrs. Xie to show a dignified smile.

"Rou'er," Mrs. Xie didn't raise her eyelids, and said in a slow voice as before: "On the New Year's Lantern Festival, the ladies of the Anguo Mansion are afraid that they will not go out easily, and Sister Mu is lonely at home alone, so you might as well invite her to enjoy the lanterns at that time, you children's affairs, adults are not involved, and the Duchess of Anguo should agree." ”

"Grandmother's idea is so good." Xie Shurou still smiled gently and dignifiedly, her eyelids drooped, and her expression was calm.

"You are sensible," Mrs. Xie smiled meaningfully at Xie Shurou: "On the day of the Lantern Festival, our children will go, and then invite the guests to the family, lively, Sister Mu will definitely like it." ”

"Granddaughter knows." Xie Shurou nodded at Xie Furu, looking obedient and well-behaved. Mrs. Xie nodded at her with great satisfaction, and sent her out without any other instructions.

Xie Shurou said goodbye to her grandmother with a gentle smile, and as soon as she went out, her face collapsed, her face was full of sadness, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows drooped. Xie Furao told her to understand, and it was because she understood that she was worried!

Cui Shi, the cousin of the third uncle, she tossed in the memory of the original owner for a while before she remembered what was special about this cousin of the third uncle and mother, and it was worthy of Mrs. Xie to invite her to Beijing with great fanfare.

This lady, born in the Boling Cui family, is a serious family, and is a close cousin to Xie Shurou's third uncle. She married to Qingzhou, her husband's family was Fanyang Lu's, which was originally prosperous, and Lu Furao's father was the transfer envoy of Hedong Road at that time, and he was in charge of Cui's family.

It's a pity that this Mrs. Lu is unlucky, her husband is the most unpromising of Lord Lu's sons, and she failed the imperial examination, so she relied on her father's shadow to take the road of pushing officials, and it took many years before she got a six-grade idle in Qingzhou.

A few years ago, the transfer of Hedong Road caused Lord Lu to die of illness, and Mrs. Lu's family's biggest backer fell.

However, this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that this Mrs. Lu has traveled to Beijing a few years ago, and in the memory of the original owner, Mrs. Cui is a great beauty, much more beautiful than the third uncle. After marriage, she gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and they all looked like Mrs. Lu, and they were good-looking.

Through the memory of the original owner, Xie Shurou did not have a particularly tangible intuitive impression of the appearance of Mrs. Lu's children, but she was sure that Lu Furao's children should be very good-looking, otherwise they would not have been recorded by Xie Fu and invited to Beijing to pimp for Mu Zhengyi.

That's right, Xie Shurou believes that the so-called lantern festival activity is actually aimed at Mu Zhengyi. According to the criteria for selecting a daughter-in-law from the Anguo Mansion, Lu Furao's daughter is too suitable! Born in Fanyang Lu's family, his grandfather's family is the Boling Cui family, he is from a serious family, his father is a non-productive six-grade idle official, and he is far away in Qingzhou, what an ideal candidate!

Mrs. Xie is also smart, and she did not explicitly ask Xie Shurou to invite Mu Zhengyi. But in the first month, there are many people on the street, if Mrs. Mu and Duchess An Guo allow Mu Hongshang to go out, they will definitely not worry about letting her go out alone, and they will let her brothers accompany her out.

And on such a lively day, the candidate who accompanied his sister out to see the lights was the most calm and reliable eldest brother Mu Zhengyi. Xie Shurou can be sure with her toes, just by virtue of Mu Zhengyi's sister control attribute, as long as he is at home and Mu Hongshang comes out to see the lights, he will definitely follow.
