Xie Mulin quickly wrote the letter, passed through Xie Huizhi's hand, took the channel of "Rui Ji", and sent it out smoothly.

She herself continued to pretend that nothing happened, and accompanied the two elders in the second and third rooms with her brothers and sisters at home, ending her happy trip in Suzhou and embarking on the journey again.

In the past three days, everyone in the Xie family has added a lot of things, Xie Mulin has new clothes and jewelry, as well as all kinds of novel and unique stationery, embroidery and a large box of miscellaneous books. This time, she didn't collect many old books and broken books, but she bought a lot of practical books, including medical books, travelogues, and agricultural books. Anyway, others may not have the spirit to carefully check the past one by one, and it's okay to fool around.

The Song family also harvested a lot of good books and stationery supplies, some of which were prepared to be sent to relatives and friends after returning to their hometown in Beiping. She asked Xie Mulin about the books she bought, and sighed with a wry smile: "You kid, you still like miscellaneous books so much, isn't it good to read more poems and songs?" Even if it's just a look at the history books. You have a good talent, a good memory, and you can draw inferences from everything, so why don't you like to put more effort into poetry? ”

In the past two or three years, Xie Mulin has been studying with the Song family, and has learned more things than he has learned in the women's studies in the clan, his literary level has been greatly improved, and his common sense has basically been supplemented. If she needs to write some poems on some occasions, she can also recite a limerick poem to deal with things, so as not to fall into the situation of being ugly. Because her progress is too great and the time is less, Song was quite surprised, and decided that she had great potential, so he kept persuading her to work poetry and strive to earn a "talented girl".

Xie Mulin is really not interested in being a talented woman. She knows her own level, and she has learned the same cultural level as the average or even better official ladies, it is no problem for her to work hard, and now she can compare with her eldest sister Xie Yinghui, and occasionally win one or two times. But if you really want to work hard to become a "family", then save it. She has read books for so many years, and she knows very well what level of female poets can leave a name in the history of literature, if she has that ability, she has already become famous in modern times, how can she still be an ordinary college graduate?

She doesn't take the road of hyping up her fame and raising her worth to strive to marry into a high family, so why bother with that energy? If she has time, she might as well put more effort into the materials in her study space, and strive to research more modern technologies to make more profits for the people around her and the ordinary people around her? At the very least, she can also make her family's life more comfortable and make her life more convenient......

Song deeply regretted in his heart. Daughter Xie Meijun has been a good wife and mother since she got married, and now she is separated from her husband and is busy taking care of the children, while her granddaughter Yang Yuan is not good at this, she can't find a successor to inherit her knowledge. Finally, he had a granddaughter, who was quite gifted and modest and studious, but turned out to be more practical than poetic...... It is impossible for her to let her grandchildren who decided to take the path of the imperial examination abandon their studies and specialize in poetry. To whom should she pass on her knowledge? As an elderly widow, she can't even find anyone who can sing poetry now, so she can only remember her husband who died early every day......

In the long sigh of the Song family, the Xie family's boat stopped at the dock in Wuxi. Here, Xie Yinghui received letters from her good friends Ma Yurong and Lu Feiyun respectively.

Because Xie Yinghui now has the best relationship with her second sister Xie Mulin, and she likes to discuss with her in case of trouble, Xie Mulin was fortunate to come to the eldest sister's cabin and saw the contents of these two letters.

Xie Yinghui was about to return to Beijing, and bumped into Cao Shuqing, the mother who fell out with her husband again and cried back to the capital to find her mother's brothers and sisters to support her. In order to let Xie Yinghui avoid some embarrassing occasions and not be implicated by this unconscious biological mother, Ma Yurong and Lu Feiyun also took great pains to help her inquire about a lot of news.

It is said that Cao Shuqing went back to Beijing to cry to Queen Cao, but Queen Cao was impatient to take care of her at all, and she didn't even want her to enter the palace gate. But Lin Zhaoyi, who was not cool at the time, "passed by" and was very enthusiastic to help a group of the queen's sisters-in-law, so that the guards guarding the palace gate let Cao Shuqing in. When Cao Shuqing went to Kunning Palace, it was when Empress Cao was sitting with several princesses and princesses of the palace drinking tea, discussing the marriage of several young masters and young ladies after the Cao family's filial piety. Queen Cao was worried that no one would answer her words, so she was cried by her sister, and several concubines and princesses did not have the intention of staying to watch the play, and they resigned one after another, which made her wishful thinking come to naught. After sending off the guests, Queen Cao was angry directly at Cao Shuqing.

As a result, Empress Cao hurriedly announced that Mrs. Chengenhou entered the palace and brought Cao Shuqing back to Chengenhou's mansion. Together with Cao Shuqing's entourage, subordinates and luggage brought back to the capital, they were all placed by Chengenhou. Later, I didn't hear that Cao Shuqing had entered the palace again, but Mrs. Cao from several other rooms went to visit Mrs. Gu, and it is said that they also broke up unhappily.

But Queen Cao and Cheng Enhou didn't let the daughter of the Cao family be bullied by her husband's family, they didn't like her sister again, she was also surnamed Cao, not all cats and dogs could step on it, not to mention that Fang Wenshan was the son of Cheng Engong's personal soldier before - in the eyes of the nobles of the Cao family, what is the difference between him and the son of a domestic servant? Even if he once reached the height of a Praetorian Guard, a minion is still a minion. Cao Shuqing cried and shouted and insisted on marrying him, that was her self-depravity, but Fang Wenshan didn't confess her and dared to bully her, that is, she didn't take the Cao family in her eyes.

Cheng Enhou directly asked people to find Fang Wenshan's hometown and make his parents angry. When Fang Wenshan heard about it in office, it was said that he was also furious, but he was helpless. He had no choice but to write a handwritten letter, bring a generous gift, and send his cronies to Beijing to apologize to his wife Cao Shuqing and coax her to come back as soon as possible. As for the old concubine and a few children, he certainly believed in his heart that they were innocent and pitiful, and it was Cao Shuqing who was making trouble for nothing, and it was not good to continue to openly defend them at this time, so he had to send his henchmen to send them back to their hometown and hand them over to their parents to take care of. As for the future of his sons, he can only find another way and entrust his old friends who are still willing to maintain a relationship with him.

The letter and gifts were sent to the Chengenhou Mansion, but Cao Shuqing has not moved, and no one knows whether she has forgiven her husband and whether she plans to go back to Shaanxi.

But the good news is that the rumors about Cao Shuqing in Beijing have not been very good, so Cheng Enhou and his wife don't want her to appear in public, even if the Cao family holds a banquet by themselves, they will tell the guests that the younger sister is not feeling well and recuperating, or is fasting, and went out of the city to worship the Buddha. Anyway, no one saw Cao Shuqing in public.

In the past, when the second prince was in the limelight, the people who were attached to him and the Lin family would openly laugh at the shameless and unlucky aunt wife of the Cao family. Now that the second prince is about to get cold, it is too late for the people who are attached to him and the Lin family to be busy protecting themselves, who has time to ridicule an unimportant daughter of the Cao family? If you want to attack, you should go directly to the prince of the East Palace or the Marquis of Chengen!

And the third prince is now busy getting rid of an unwanted family business, and he has no energy to be distracted. The people of the Four Princes have always been low-key, except for showing off a few words to others, the Four Princes have received any praise and reward from the emperor, and they have not done anything.

Therefore, Ma Yurong and Lu Feiyun both comforted Xie Yinghui in the letter, telling her to relax and enter Beijing with confidence.
