Xiao Rui personally sent Xie Huizhi to the dock, watched him get on the boat, and left Xiejiawan.

Before sending people away, he also made a request to Xie Huizhi: "I stay in this place, and I can't leave until my brothers' conditions improve." But if my family hears the news, they will be very worried. If they send people again, they are afraid that they will be contaminated with illness if they enter Xiejiawan lightly. I wonder if I can ask Third Brother Xie to bring a letter to my family in Beijing for me, so that they can wait for my news with peace of mind? ”

Xie Huizhi saw that he wrote the letter quickly, and his family had a regular correspondence with Xie Yinghui and others in Beijing, and it was not a big deal to carry a letter for him, so he agreed.

The object that Xiao Rui wanted to send the letter to was his aunt. If the Xie family helps to deliver the letter, even the gatekeeper of the General Zhuguo's Mansion does not need to be alarmed, and it is directly sent to the back street of the General's Mansion, and the mother-in-law who waits for the aunt will help hand it over. This matter was very easy, Xie Huizhi didn't think much about it at all.

He and his entourage returned to Xie Jiajiao smoothly, and first went to the Wen family to report their safety, and inquired that Xie Mulin had gone out to patrol and was not at home, so he went to the sect to report the situation to the eldest uncle Du Shi, and asked the latter to report the safety to the Du family.

When Du Shi learned that the officers and soldiers at the Xie family's old mansion had indeed contracted the epidemic, he was immediately nervous, but when he heard that Du Erye and his subordinates had arranged the patients very properly, he was a little relieved, thanked Xie Huizhi for a few words, and stuffed him with a bag of snacks and a bag of fresh fruit before sending him away.

In the evening, Xie Mulin returned home and met with his third brother to exchange the latest information.

Xie Mulin listened to the situation in the old mansion, his heart was a little calm, and he said thoughtfully: "Second Prince Xiao should have another channel for communication with Jingzhong before, and the communication is still very frequent, and the news is much better than ours, why do you suddenly let our family help deliver the letter now?" Could it be that something happened to his family? Or was he writing this letter to his biological mother in secret, and he didn't want the people who had originally delivered it for him to know? ”

Xie Huizhi looked at his second sister's men's dress with interest, and said casually: "Whatever, anyway, we just helped carry a letter, and we didn't help him do anything bad." No matter who Xiao Er wants to hide from this letter, it has nothing to do with us. ”

"That's right." Xie Mulin nodded and said, "Cheng, let's do it." My mother was thinking about sending another letter to Kyori. Now that the weather is getting colder day by day, if the eldest sister wants to take the third sister back to her hometown, it is time to leave. If you drag it out any longer, when it is cold and snowy, the canal and waterway will not be able to go, and the land route will be too sinful, so it is better to wait for the spring of next year to rush again. ”

Xie Huizhi pouted and said: "The eldest sister has not heard any news, it must be Xie Yingrong who has something to do, and she has to stay at Bian's house and not leave, which makes the eldest sister have a headache." The eldest sister's temper, how could she let us know that she couldn't do anything with Xie Yingrong? At this time, the two of them are not sure how to fight wits and courage. I think our family only needs to call the eldest sister back, so Xie Yingrong can drink the northwest wind in the capital! She regards the Bian family as a dependent, so let her really taste the taste of sending people under the fence. I don't believe it, the Bian family is not a rich family, can they support her for a lifetime? ! ”

Xie Mulin glared at him helplessly: "Who doesn't want to solve your third sister simply and directly?" The question is, if she is really left alone in the capital, if she does something ridiculous, our family will also be embarrassed, okay? Even if the Bian family is really willing to support her for the rest of her life, we are not happy! The Xie family is not a poor family, so why should outsiders feed their own flesh and blood? In fact, I took into account that the Bian family was not a bad person, and I was deceived to protect your third sister, thinking that it was just good intentions, and I couldn't bear to let his family have a bad reputation. Otherwise, I really want to tear my face and sue his family for abducting a woman from a good family, does the Bian family still have the face to continue to keep your third sister?! ”

Xie Huizhi suddenly realized: "That's right! That's a good idea! Although the Bian family does not have a man of the right age, if it really involves Cheng Du, it will only cheapen Xie Yingrong, but the current head of the Bian family is a scholar and is about to test his fame, if he really gets this kind of ugly charge, he doesn't want to have a reputation and a future! We don't have to spread any gossip at all, we just need to scare Bian Ju with this article, and his family will be cowardly immediately! Rao is Xie Yingrong is as cunning as a fox, and he can't be the master of the Bian family! ”

Xie Mulin rolled his eyes: "So I said, if you really want to tear your face, it's not that you can't think about it." It's just that the eldest sister has a thin face and can't do this kind of thing, and our Xie family doesn't need to completely turn around with the Bian family for the time being. Xie Yingrong is now staying at Bian's house and not leaving, thinking that he has a plan, but he is actually very stupid. The Bian family is just Cheng Du's family, and there is no way to decide his marriage, at most he can only beat the side drum. But no elder in the Xie family came forward to say yes for Xie Yingrong, can she still be a matchmaker for herself as a girl? Her age is several years behind Cheng Du, no one opens this mouth for her, and the Bian family will never treat her as a candidate for granddaughter-in-law.

"Originally, there was a ill-intentioned Mrs. Ning Guohou, who might be able to help her, but right now, isn't Mrs. Ning Guohou having no time to take care of other people's affairs? That's why I said that Xie Yingrong's trick is useless, and continuing to die in someone else's house is just humiliating himself. ”

Xie Huizhi said with a smile: "Not only that, the more she messes around and is disobedient, the more she will make her father and wife unhappy, and now even the old lady hates her." She doesn't have an elder at home to rely on, who would be willing to help her fight for the family she wants? It's just a dream! ”

After scolding Xie Yingrong, he smiled again, and said a little depressedly: "My aunt is obviously not a foolish person, how can she not even understand such a simple truth, and still connive at Xie Yingrong's nonsense?" Xie Yingrong will not have a good result in the future, so don't you have to rely on me to provide for her? She is still partial to Xie Yingrong everywhere, she can't listen to anything I say! ”

Xie Mulin secretly said in his heart, maybe Aunt Dajin knew that no matter what Xie Yingrong's future was, she still had Xie Huizhi's back road, so she had no scruples?

However, Xie Mulin would not say this to his brother, and only changed the topic: "Forget it, let's not talk about these troubles." Since you have already returned to Xiejiajiao, just go and take a look at the old mansion in a few days, and when you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can follow the clansmen around with me. I see that the water level in the river has risen again today, but fortunately, our Xie Jiajiao itself is high, and there is no danger for the time being, but I suspect that some places in the county may have been flooded. ”

Xie Huizhi sighed: "When I left the old house, I found that the water level was less than two feet above the ground of the pier. Thanks to the fact that we renovated the dock, otherwise the river would have flooded the pier. If the river rises like this again, it will not take a few days for it to rise to the gate of the old house. I'm still quite worried about Xiao Er and Du Erye. The patients in the house are all injured and have difficulty moving, what should they do if they encounter heavy water again? ”

"Cold salad, of course!" Xie Mulin said, "I left a boat for the old house, there is no shortage of materials, the terrain behind the old house is relatively high, and a cement path has been built in the back mountain, so you can escape to the back mountain." As long as the water level does not rise to the height of the backyard of the old mansion, Xiao Er and them will be fine. If it's not good, you can still escape by boat. ”

The only thing she worries about is what level of harm will this impending disaster bring to Huyin County? Xie Jiajiao is located on the edge of the county seat, and if the disaster really comes, the Xie clan will never stay out of it. So how should their family deal with it?
