Xie Mulin couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw his mother standing at the bow of the boat, getting farther and farther away from the pier, and gradually disappearing into the distance of the waterway.

After a year, she still has some feelings for this cheap mother.

Today's separation, the two will see each other again, not to mention that it will be more than half a year apart, at least until Xie Jinzhi is in the exam. If you're unlucky, it's not surprising if you're unlucky. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and relatives were separated from each other, so it was not easy to get in touch. Thinking that she might not see this easy-talking and soft-hearted mother for a year or two, Xie Mulin felt strange in his heart.

Xie Xianzhi stood aside, not in a good mood. He was really reluctant to give up Wen's loving aunt. He has grown so big, he has had two mothers, and now he really feels which one is more like the image of a loving mother in his dreams. It's a pity that after only a few months of care, it will be separated for a long time. I don't know when we will meet again in the future.

He can only tell himself that he must study hard, take the scientific examination next year, and must not fail the list, and strive to pass the examination in the next year. With the fame of Xiucai, he has some confidence when he walks outside. Even if he goes to Peking with his brothers and sisters to reunite with his father Xie Pu, he will not lose his father's face.

The siblings stood silently by the dock until the Wen group's fleet disappeared at the end of the waterway, before they withdrew their gaze.

Shopkeeper Mao walked over with his sleeves caged: "Young Master, second girl, it's not early, the sun is rising, are you two going back to the house?" I have already booked a boat to return to Huyin the day after tomorrow, or the same fleet I sat on last time, and the boss of the boat is the same, do you want to take a look? ”

Xie Mulin came back to his senses and thanked the shopkeeper Mao with a smile: "You are doing things, what are we not worried about?" This isn't the first time we've been on his boat, and we can trust you. ”

Shopkeeper Mao smiled happily: "The second girl said this, the little old man can't afford it." But the eldest young master and the second girl, please rest assured, I have already carefully looked at the boat, and it is no worse than the last time you sat on it. This time it was a specially chartered ship, not following the merchant ship, so the road should be fast or slow, and which port to stop at was decided by the eldest young master, eldest lady and second girl, and there was no need to follow the caravan's itinerary. ”

That's even better. Xie Mulin thought to herself that if Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui had no special needs, she would prefer to rush back to Huyin as soon as possible. It's been a few days since the Wen family came out, and there is no one at home to suppress Mrs. Xie, and I don't know what kind of moths will come out, has she already offended the clansmen? Besides, the fourth brother Xie Hanzhi is sick, she is also quite worried and wants to go back to visit him as soon as possible. Therefore, when passing through a big city like Suzhou, they can stop for a while and buy something, but they don't have to stop at other ports again and again. Huyin County has developed water transportation, and there will always be opportunities to visit several surrounding big cities in the future.

Shopkeeper Mao said one more thing to Xie Xianzhi, the Chen guy who followed Xie Jinkun over said hello to him, and wanted to take advantage of the Xie family's boat back to Huyin to bring something to their grandmother Ji's family, and it was also these guys who said hello to the master's family and congratulated them on adding Ding. The good news has been sent to the capital as early as a few days ago, and they have prepared for some time before they can do this courtesy, but it is a pity that the proprietor and his wife are going north, and the other is staying in their hometown to take care of their children, and they can't go back to Beijing at all, so they can only ask someone to take it back.

Xie Xianzhi naturally responded. After a year of training, he has greatly improved his communication skills compared to the previous one who only knew how to study behind closed doors, and he has also learned a lot of sophistication. He personally went to say a few words to Guy Chen, and made an appointment to let the other party send things over, before turning around and helping his second sister into the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, he asked Xie Mulin: "The ancient lady who came to the house that day, where does the family live?" My wife wrote a letter of thanks, instructing me to send it to Xiao Ergongzi's people, so that I could thank him for his kindness. ”

Xie Mulin was helpless in her heart, she knew that the Wen family would be like this. Fortunately, she was ready in private, so she smiled calmly and said, "I remember that her shop was open on our way home, and I don't know if it will be open for business." When we go back in a moment, let's take a look. ”

Xie Xianzhi didn't notice anything wrong at all, and happily responded. On the way back, they passed a shop, Xie Mulin stopped, and pulled him to get out of the car together, and went into the shop to see Gu Niangzi.

is so upright, it seems that she is selfless in her heart. Xie Xianzhi not only did not doubt it, but also felt a little guilty because he had doubts about the relationship between his sister and Xiao Rui.

Gu Niangzi came over soon, saw their brother and sister, and hurriedly invited people to the second floor for tea.

Xie Mulin waited for Xie Xianzhi to finish telling his intentions, and then answered with a smile: "My mother only stayed in the capital for one day, and the trip was too hurried, so she couldn't come to send a message in person to thank you, and I hope the proprietor will not be surprised." ”

Gu Niangzi looked at the letter from the Wen family in her hand, and her face was not a little strange, and she also smiled and said, "Second Miss Xie is too polite." Mrs. Xie is anxious to take care of the injured Lord Xie, and she can still remember to send a thank you letter to our master, it is already an honor for our master, where can you dare to say anything strange or not? When the master thought of sending a letter to the house that day, he also thought that when he was in Huyin in the past, Jin Shanwei and the Xie family in Huyin formed a friendship, so he couldn't sit back and watch the house not know the news, and worry about Lord Xie day and night.

Now that he knew that the letter he had sent would really help the house, he would be very happy in his heart. These trivial polite courtesies are not important. The friendship between the two families is deep, and they should come and go back and forth often in the future. Since it's an acquaintance who often comes and goes, what are you doing so politely? ”

Don't mention Xie Mulin, Xie Xianzhi felt very pleasant when he heard it, and he really felt that the Xie family and Xiao Rui could become long-term friends.

Gu Niangzi then changed her words, and asked about Wen's itinerary to the north: "I don't know what boat you took to the north?" But the fleet we know well? Ah, it's a cargo ship, huh? Our family also dealt with that boat company, the boat ran very fast, but living on it was far less comfortable than the passenger ship, and the cabin was much narrower and darker, Mrs. Xie really suffered! ”

Xie Mulin smiled: "My mother is anxious to take care of my father's injuries, where can she take care of these?" We had just sent her away, and what we saw with our own eyes was not only the small cabin, but also the lack of places to live. For this reason, my mother had to bring a lot of retinues, and I saw that there was only one girl by her side, and I lent her the green banana. ”

Gu Niangzi's eyes flashed, and she smiled: "It's actually a cuijiao girl?" Alas, I'm just saying, I've met Cuijiao girl a few times, and I want to invite her to a banquet in private and practice it for her. Unexpectedly, before she could speak, the cuijiao girl had already gone to the north. Will she go back to Huyin County directly in the future? I don't know when I'll see her again, and I didn't even have time to tell her a precious word! It's a pity, it's a ”

Xie Mulin knew that the ancient lady had probably understood her hint, her ears were slightly hot, and she smiled: "My mother is in a hurry, so my decision is also in a hurry, and I didn't have time to inform others." Cuijiao also said that she was a little reluctant to let the ancient lady go. In the future, when our brothers and sisters also go to Beiping, I don't know when we will be able to see you again. But it doesn't matter, if you meet thousands of miles away, you will always meet again. ”

Gu Niangzi heard what she wanted to hear, and glanced at Xie Mulin with a smile: "It's very, it's a fate to meet thousands of miles away!" What is the difference for a while? I've always been very patient, I can afford to wait, I can afford to wait......"
