Chapter 747: Hints

The person from the eldest princess's mansion is Grandma Ma. I met at the banquet yesterday, and Xie Mulin greeted her with a greeting ceremony, but he was also familiar with it.

Grandma Ma is a long-sleeved woman who is good at dancing, and visiting someone's house naturally does not make people feel abrupt and inexplicable. On the grounds that "the banquet the day before was greatly helped by the Xie family", she said that she was here to thank and give gifts today, and proposed to say hello to Mrs. Xie, of course Xie Mulin had no reason to refuse.

It's just that Mrs. Xie is afraid that she hasn't gotten up at this time, and even if she does, the situation may not be good, so let her see Grandma Ma, I'm afraid that she will make a fool of herself. Xie Mulin could only instruct Xiangtao to go to Jinxuantang to report the news, signaling Mrs. Xie to hurry up and tidy up and prepare to meet the guests, while continuing to chat with Grandma Ma.

In fact, she rarely has this kind of experience of formally receiving foreign guests alone, and always feels that she is reluctant to talk, thanks to Grandma Ma, who is very good at finding topics, so it didn't cause a cold scene. However, chatting and chatting, Xie Mulin noticed that Grandma Ma began to use the fact that Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui's brothers and sisters went to Ma's house early this morning as a guest, and talked about the friendship between Xie Yinghui and Ma Yurong, and then talked about yesterday's banquet, as well as the interaction between the Xie brothers and the Ma brothers at the banquet, and led the topic to the temperament and talent of the Xie brothers.

When Xie Yingfen heard the news and hurriedly dressed up to help the second sister entertain the guests, the topic had already been discussed with the plans of the Xie brothers for the next three years.

What can Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi's brothers plan for in the next few years? All of them already have a reputation for showing talents, and the candidates for the examination are still insufficient, so they naturally live in Beiping with their father, and then continue to study and prepare for the township examination. Considering their age, it is natural to solve the major events of their lives in the next two or three years. Even if you don't get married right away, the marriage contract always has to be decided.

Xie Yingfen probably saw that Grandma Ma was kind and kind, chatting happily with their sisters, and there was no severance at all, so she casually mentioned the worries in her heart: "Father and wife should have started to look at each other for the eldest brother and the second brother, right?" I don't know which lady I will fancie. We only went to Peking this year, and we don't know anything about the people over there, and I don't know if the sister-in-law who enters the door is easy to get along with? ”

Grandma Ma smiled meaningfully: "Lifetime events are not fun, a man gets married and marries his wife home, he has to accompany him for a lifetime, so naturally he must carefully look at the candidate." This matter should not be overlooked, so it is better not to be too hasty. The two Xie Gongzi are still young and have a great future, and their family background and character are even more outstanding, so why worry? If you look carefully for two or three years, it's still too late, and now there are many young talents who have only gotten married at the age of the crown, and there are many people in and out of Beijing. ”

Xie Yingfen was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously thought: It's too late to get married when you get married to the crown party, right? The eldest brother Xie Xianzhi is only seventeen this year, and it is just right to get married at eighteen next year, if he drags on marrying a wife at the age of the crown, won't he have to wait for two years?

Xie Mulin's heart moved, and he smiled and said to Grandma Ma: "As sisters, we naturally hope that our eldest brother can marry a good wife." Because I don't know the situation in Beiping, I am also worried now. Grandma is willing to be a matchmaker for our eldest brother? If we can have a good sister-in-law who knows the roots, we can feel at ease as sisters! ”

Xie Yingfen blinked beside her, then smiled cooperatively, nodded in agreement, and did not question her second sister at all.

Grandma Ma raised her sleeves and smiled: "Young talents like Mr. Xie, if I am lucky enough to be an iceman, it will be too face-saving!" I'm afraid that our Royal Highness will think I'm troublesome and rob her of her errand! ”

This is no longer a hint, but an explicit. Xie Yingfen suddenly became excited, and wanted to ask more clearly: "Grandma Ma......"

Before she could say anything, Grandma Ma had already turned her face away, and looked left and right to say to it: "Ah, the sun has risen." It seems like a good day today! ”

Xie Yingfen looked at Xie Mulin with blank eyes. Xie Mulin just smiled: "Our old lady must have been fine." Shall I show Grandma Ma the way? She had already seen Peach gesturing outside the door.

So Xie Mulin accompanied Grandma Ma to Jinxuan Hall. Xie Yingfen hesitated for a moment and followed. When they arrived at the main room of Jin Xuantang, they found that Mrs. Xie had taken out the clothes and jewelry when she was a beautiful old feudal monarch, dressed up neatly, and sat upright. The girls and mothers-in-law around her are also dressed up and separated on both sides according to the rules. All the furnishings in the house, as well as tea, snacks, fruit plates, flower arrangements, incense sticks...... All came according to the rules of the Xie family when they were not copied, and everything was decent. In addition to the fact that the method and style are slightly outdated, which is very different from the popular style of the moment, it is also decent enough.

Grandma Ma knew that the Xie family had been living in the countryside all these years, and Mrs. Xie was even more secluded, and she didn't care about these, and politely greeted Mrs. Xie, as if she was the little daughter-in-law of the Xie family's relatives. Mrs. Xie only confirmed yesterday that the eldest princess of Yongning had no killing intent towards herself, and when she saw the eldest princess's daughter-in-law so polite to her today, she was a little flattered, and she was busy inviting Grandma Ma to sit down with a smile on her face, ordering someone to serve tea, and talking with each other diligently according to the decision of her former daughter-in-law Cao Shuqing to teach her how to entertain when she entertained the ladies of the clan in the past.

After all, Mrs. Xie has also been a rich and noble old man for more than ten years, as long as she does not reveal her true nature, but pretends to be a noble lady who knows etiquette according to the rules she knows, she can still fool people. As soon as Xie Mulin saw her like this, he knew that she was pretending to be X. But she is willing to pretend to be X, so she won't make a fool of herself in front of the guests. At least Grandma Ma didn't show anything unusual, and she talked to her back and forth.

However, when Grandma Ma came to Xie's house, she didn't really want to be polite to Mrs. Xie. After the greetings were over, she mentioned her intentions. On the surface, it seems that he is thanking the Xie family for their cooperation and help for yesterday's banquet, but he inexplicably mentioned Xie Xianzhi's marriage, vaguely implying that the Xie family should not rush to set a life for Xie Xianzhi. But Mrs. Xie wanted to test whether she intended to be a matchmaker or something, so she started haha again, prevaricated with other words, and it didn't take long for her to get up and say goodbye.

Xie Mulin pulled his fourth sister Xie Yingfen and sent Grandma Ma out of the gate together. When they returned to Jin Xuan Hall, they found that Mrs. Xie was still wearing that big dress, with her hair full of pearls, sitting on a chair in a daze.

Xie Yingfen asked in a low voice, "Old lady, what's wrong with you?" The guest is gone, would you like to change your clothes? ”

Old Mrs. Xie glanced up at her, ignored it, and looked at Xie Mulin again: "Second girl, why do I think something is wrong?" The eldest princess asked her eldest daughter-in-law to come to our house for this trip, is it implying something? Is she going to tell your eldest brother about her daughter-in-law? Say whom? The eldest princess seems to have a girl who is not married, right? The one who is good friends with your eldest sister? ”

Xie Mulin smiled: "Grandma Ma didn't say it explicitly, how can we speculate wildly?" Just keep this matter in mind, go back and write to your father to say it, and ask him not to set up a family affair for the eldest brother for the time being. Grandma Ma will never play tricks on us, and the eldest brother will definitely be able to marry a good woman. ”

Old Mrs. Xie pursed her lips and muttered, "There are more good women in the world, but if you really marry the daughter of the eldest princess and come to the house, wouldn't there be an ancestor in this family?" How can I live this day......" said and said, showing an aggrieved expression, but he didn't dare to say anything.
