Chapter 637: Surprise

Xie Mulin was really surprised and delighted.

  The good thing is that Xiao Rui is about to return to the south, and he has a chance to meet her again, but the surprise is that this letter has only arrived in her hands now, and the time seems to be too tight.

  In the blink of an eye, there has only been about a month since mid-August, and their Xie family's three rooms waited for the results of Xie Xian's courtyard to come out, and they should set off for Beiping, on the way, because they want to go back to the capital to see the old house, greet the shopkeepers and men of the family business, and visit the eldest princess of Yongning and Ma Yurong's mother and daughter, as well as Jiao Yintai and other nobles who have been kind to them, so they will stay in Beijing for a few days, and then continue the journey to the north.

  Calculating the time in this way, when their family is about to set off, it should be almost late August, and it will be the end of August and the beginning of September when they arrive in the capital, so it may collide with the time when Xiao Rui came to Huyin. Can she inform the other party of this news in time, so that Xiao Rui will not come to Huyin, but wait in the capital to reunite with her?!

  If things don't go well and they just go awry, wouldn't they be wasting a great opportunity?!

  Originally, if Xiao Rui still had to return to the north to serve after receiving the reward and being promoted, she would have a great chance to walk with the Xie family, so she and Xiao Rui would be able to get along for a longer time! Everything is simple during the journey, the rules and regulations will not be too strict, and she may be able to meet him from time to time and chat!

  When Xie Mulin thought of this, he couldn't sit still. She had to inform Xiao Rui's people of the news that the Xie family's third room was going north as soon as possible. If this matter could not be reached to his ears as soon as possible after Xiao Rui returned to Beijing, it would be very difficult for them to meet next.

  She is fifteen years old this year, and she is already the age to get married. If it weren't for the fact that his parents were not around, the temptations and proposals of the Song family were rejected by his father Xie Pu for a reason, and he would have been decided by his grandmother and made a marriage contract. She and Xiao Rui have not been together for a long time, but they have known each other for more than three years, and after several face-to-face encounters and correspondence, as well as the news from others, she can be said to have a deep understanding of this young man, who is now an eighteen-year-old youth, and feels that she can consider marriage.

  She couldn't have had such a long time and opportunity to investigate a reliable marriage partner again.

  If there is no accident, it should be him, right? In the past three years, he has not changed his mind, and he has always been clean and self-conscious in the frontier (she has gossip sources), he is also very gentle and considerate to her, and he can respect her ideas, except for the identity of a concubine and a relative's child, there are no shortcomings. If she misses him, where will she find an ancient man who can accept him in her heart?

  Now that he has made up his mind, it is not easy for Xie Mulin to have any accidents. Especially Xiao Rui has made military achievements, and he is about to enter Beijing to be sealed, God knows if there will be a nosy nobleman to be a matchmaker or give marriage or something at this time? Even if General Zhuguo and his wife think that this concubine can be used for marriage if he has a future, it is very beautiful!

  Xie Mulin doesn't want to have any young lady come out to snatch a man from her!

  Secretly made up his mind, Xie Mulin calmed down as much as possible and continued to read the letter.

  Xiao Rui probably wrote this letter for a while, it was still in early summer, not long after the end of the war, so he described the beautiful scenery around Kaipingwei in a good mood, regretting that several particularly beautiful places were destroyed by the enemy, and I don't know how many years it would take to restore the original state.

  In the past, he painted a few landscapes of Kaipingwei and sent them to her to enjoy. Although his painting skills were not particularly good because he gave up his studies early, he also painted well, which opened Xie Mulin's eyes. She couldn't help but sigh when she thought that those beautiful landscapes had been destroyed by the war.

  Then Xiao Rui wrote a few interesting things that happened in the barracks, as if the war was not fierce at all, and they could do it lightly. But he honestly confessed that he had suffered four or five minor injuries, all of which were skin injuries and did not matter, so that when she met, she should not be frightened by the scars on his face and hands, Yunyun......

  Xie Mulin knew that his injuries would definitely not be light, although it was likely that he was really fine, but he was injured with Jin Shanwei and the bandits that time, and he also said that it was only a minor injury, so his standard was unbelievable. If you wait until you see her in August, you may see obvious scars, can the injuries be light? If it weren't for the fact that this injury couldn't hide her vision, he probably wouldn't even tell her about the injury, right?

  The wounds on his face and hands can't be hidden, so what about him? Will there be more serious wounds?

  Xie Mulin couldn't help but worry in his heart, and he could only keep comforting himself, it was all skin trauma, and his life was fine.

  But even if it's a skin injury, it hurts......

  She began to feel that it might not be a good thing for Xiao Rui to continue to stay in the border army. If he receives the reward this time, he can get better development, wouldn't it be better to return to a safer area?

  But he may have his own ambitions and intentions......

  Xie Mulin sighed secretly and continued to read the letter.

  Maybe it was because when Xiao Rui wrote the letter, he thought that he would meet Xie Mulin in a few months, or there were not many things to talk about during the war, and he was afraid that talking too much would scare her, so he didn't mention too many trivial matters in the letter, and only briefly mentioned it later, and there was a contradiction between the third prince and him.

  I don't know what happened to the third prince in Beijing, so I wrote to him several times and persuaded him to go back to Beijing to help. At that time, it was wartime, and Xiao Rui simply refused. But after the war, the third prince wrote again, suggesting that he take the opportunity of returning to Beijing to be transferred back, which was not so easy to push. However, Xiao Rui didn't want to leave, he was living well in the north, his life was quiet and worry-free, and all the troubles in the capital were far away from him. Even if he couldn't stay in Kaipingwei, he would try to stay under King Yan, so he used slightly tougher wording, so that the third prince would not be nosy and talk nonsense in front of the emperor, and he was transferred back.

  Xiao Rui told Xie Mulin about this to greet her in advance and make her feel at ease. After he returned to Beijing, because he annoyed the third prince again, he might be treated coldly, and his mother-in-law was more likely to give him a look on his face and stumble on many things, but it didn't matter, he knew it in his heart and had confidence. He has already thought of a way to persuade his father Xiao Mingde to obey his son's wishes in marriage. If Xie Mulin heard any messy rumors in Huyin, don't pay attention to it, just believe him anyway.

  On his way south, he would pass through the city of Beiping, and when the time came, he would first visit her parents and obtain permission from them to propose marriage. As long as her parents nodded, and he returned to Beijing to persuade his father, the marriage between the two would be no longer a problem. If all goes well, maybe he can complete the engagement ceremony with her directly in Huyin, and ask her if she minds that her parents were not around at the time of the engagement?

  Xie Mulin blushed and folded the letter again, put it back in the envelope, and scolded "nerd" in a low voice.

  Just as Xiao Rui was lucky, he would not have an answer to this question. Because she is about to go to the capital and then go north to Beiping. She will reunite with him in the capital, and if she wants to get engaged, it should be in Beiping. When her parents are there, she has to ask Xiao Rui if she minds that her parents are not around when she gets engaged!
