Xiao Rui has been following King Yan and accompanying him to deal with all kinds of red tape.

But among the people present to see him off, in addition to King Yan's own henchmen, only the eldest princess of Yongning knew his true identity, and when facing him, he had a little kind smile, and others basically regarded him as a wallflower, either turning a blind eye, or curiously asking why he was favored by King Yan alone, and what position would he hold in King Yan's mansion? The younger people, who knew his former fame, were concerned about something else: why did no one from the General Mansion of the Pillar State come to see him off? Did he have some conflict with his family?

Fortunately, not long after, Xiao Cong arrived to hold the field. Although he just wanted to make up for the gap between him and Xiao Rui, a cheap brother, fortunately, after the other party became the son of King Yan, he still remembered the love of his former family, so he rushed to see him off his parents and sisters, but in front of outsiders, he maintained the harmonious appearance of the Xiao family and did not make other outsiders suspicious.

Xiao Rui greeted Xiao Cong with a little gratitude, and cooperatively staged a short drama of brothers' love for each other, and was called back by King Yan, and continued to deal with those courtesies. Although King Yan does not plan to announce his background immediately, he still hopes that he can get used to these affairs as soon as possible, and after "recovering" his identity in the future, he can also get started as soon as possible and become a veritable prince of King Yan. Xiao Rui sighed and sighed in his heart, but he still accepted the kindness of his "biological father" and continued to accompany him to socialize.

If he was asked to choose according to his heart, he would rather leave the scene early and sneak away to visit his biological mother, Aunt Li, in a low-key manner, and ask her how she was doing on the boat in the past two days, and whether her health had improved? Ask Gu Niangzi again, has the letter been handed over to Xie Mulin? What did Shermulin say again? Has the Xie family arrived at the dock? Are they all on board? Is Shermulin looking at himself now?

In the interval between King Yan coping with the various send-offs, Xiao Rui got a few messages from the people around him, knowing that Gu Niangzi had just gone to the Xie family's fleet to say hello, left the location of Xie Mulin's own boat, and sent Aunt Li a special snack made by herself; also knew where the Xie family's fleet stopped, and on which boat Xie Mulin was watching himself; I even inquired about who came to send Xie to the Xie family today, it is said that there are several young talents, all of them are handsome, and they look extraordinary, but I don't know what their identity is and what their relationship is with the Xie family.

Xiao Rui really wanted to go to the Xie family's fleet in person, but he couldn't get out, so he could only be patient and accompany King Yan to face those dignitaries who had their own thoughts.

When King Yan dealt with the people who came to see him off one by one, and said his final goodbye to the eldest princess of Yongning, they could finally board the ship. But even so, Xiao Rui still had to follow King Yan and couldn't leave, so he could only take a few glances in the direction of the ship where Aunt Li was sitting, and then a few glances in the direction of the Xie family's fleet, just forget it.

However, Ma Yurong, who came with the eldest princess of Yongning to see her off, accompanied by the escort of her second brother, came to the Xie family's boat and said goodbye to Xie Yinghui.

Xie Xianzhi escorted his sister off the boat a little nervously, watched Xie Yinghui and Ma Yurong talking in the curtain, retreated to the corner, and greeted Ma Ergongzi politely and with a little familiarity.

Ma Ergongzi looked at him, his attitude was not as kind and kind as before, and his eyes were a little critical, but his tone was quite kind. Ma Dagongzi and Ma Sangongzi are said to have a good impression of this prospective brother-in-law candidate, and Ma Ergongzi is after his parents made a decision, and he began to feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, but think about Xie Xianzhi is indeed much more reliable than other candidates, and he is also a friend he has made for a long time, as long as he can take his little sister back to Beijing to live in the future, it seems that it is not an unacceptable choice for his sister-in-law.

Thinking like this, the expression on Ma Ergongzi's face eased a lot, and he began to chat with Xie Xianzhi about a few new poems circulating in Beijing, just hoping that this brother-in-law could read more poetry books and improve his poetry talent, painting skills, calligraphy or something, and when the two of them met in the future, they would have something to talk about!

When Xie Xianzhi was sweating profusely chatting with Ma Ergongzi about a topic he was not good at, Xie Yinghui was also saying a final goodbye to Ma Yurong. She was full of reluctance: "If only you could come to Peking to play." Yanwang's Mansion is also in Beiping, you should only come to visit relatives. I heard that the red leaves of Xiangshan are extremely beautiful, when will we go together to enjoy the red leaves, isn't it beautiful? ”

"That's what I thought, too." Ma Yurong blushed a little and said, "But it doesn't matter, there will always be a chance." Uncle Yanwang also invited my father and mother to visit Beiping several times, but my mother couldn't let go of the Queen Mother and never made up her mind. The Queen Mother is in good health, but she told my mother not to worry too much, while she is still young and strong, it is also a good thing to be able to go out for a walk. ”

Xie Yinghui smiled and took Ma Yurong's hand: "That's really good." I'm in the North and you're coming! When is the day to go north, remember to write to me! ”

Ma Yurong's face turned even redder: "Don't worry, I'll tell you." ”

The two girls pretended to be confused and agreed to meet in Beiping, and even made an appointment to enjoy the red leaves in Beiping next autumn, which shows that Ma Yurong will stay in Beiping for a long time. Then, one of the two was shy, the other was secretly happy, and after a few glances at each other, Ma Yurong looked away first: "Feiyun didn't come today, ask me to tell you to cherish it for her, and have a good journey." Her father had just returned from a business trip, and the family was busy every day, so she had to stay at home to help the county lord take care of the housework. ”

"How can I complain?" Xie Yinghui said with a smile, "I have already met the Tao family, and I know that Lord Lu has worked hard all the way. I would also like to thank him for helping my aunt's family get out of trouble! ”

The two chatted a few more words, and it was not until the eldest princess of Yongning sent someone to urge them that the Ma family brothers and sisters left. Xie Yinghui looked at her eldest brother Xie Xianzhi's face was still flushed, and she looked at her friend's back in a daze, and couldn't help but smile secretly.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were fewer people on the dock, Xie Mulin sent off the guests, stood on the deck, and sent someone over to call them: "What are you doing in a daze? The fleet of the Yan Wangfu is about to depart, we have to keep up with it, you come back quickly. When His Royal Highness King Yan's ship leaves, those officials who saw him off will scatter, in case they collide with you, wouldn't it be good? ”

Xie Yinghui smiled and pulled the corner of her brother's sleeve: "Brother, let's go, didn't you hear what the second sister said?" You can't see anyone anymore, beware of this stupid appearance for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to see, disgusted that you are a fool and not worthy of the pearl of other people's palms! ”

Xie Xianzhi glanced at his sister with disgust: "Don't talk nonsense, what kind of place is this?" Aren't you afraid that people will listen to it and affect Miss Ma's reputation? With that, he and his sister got on the boat together.

The fleet of the Yan Wangfu left the port first, followed by the boat of Xie Pu's family, the political envoy of Beiping, then the other accompanying officials, and finally the ships of the merchants.
