The Song family and Xie Meijun in the second room took another boat, Xie Mulin mainly lived with the sisters and two aunts in the third room, and the brothers took another boat. Now that they have set sail, they can only shout to each other, and they can't even deliver things. Therefore, Xie Mulin couldn't comfort them except for watching the actions of Xie Meijun's mother and son.

She just stood by the window of the cabin, looked at Yang Yi a few times, panting and embarrassed, but she couldn't catch up with the appearance of the fleet, and snorted a few times.

Xie Yinghui also came over: "I really deserve it!" If he was really a caring person, he would have been able to find out that the second room was preparing to travel far away. Since he has been ignoring it for most of the month, why pretend to be affectionate and regretful? ”

Xie Mulin smiled: "He may not be affectionate and regretful, but probably more angry, right?" Aunt Mei Jun hung him with the matter of Chunfu and made him honest for more than half a month, otherwise he would have come over to stop his aunt from traveling. He only had to ask a little to find out where we were going and how long we might stay. Whether he plans to come to the second room after high school next spring to show off his might, or wants to go to Beiping with Aunt Mei Jun and them to touch his father's light, all of them are in vain. Now he still has to clean up the hands and tails that he yelled at Yang Chun before, and he doesn't know if he can calm down and prepare for the exam. I have asked a few of my brothers and sisters to pay attention, and when he falls off the list next year, I will write a letter describing his depressed appearance and send it to us as a joke. I can't wait to see that. ”

Xie Yinghui also looked forward to it: "Not bad." I'd like to take a look, too. He is not a real talent, and he has not studied well in the past two years, so he will definitely not be able to go to high school! It's the brother of the fifth room, it seems that this subject has done well in the township test, and most of them will have to give it a try next spring. If he can go to high school, but Yang Yiquan falls off the list, what face does he have to say that the Xie family will not raise a son? ! ”

The sisters chatted for a while, and then went back to their cabins to settle in.

At this time, the girls and mothers-in-law had already put all the luggage in place, and all the bedding supplies were placed properly. Xie Mulin walked around the cabin and sat down on the edge of the bed, feeling that the place was quite spacious and comfortable, at least much better than the cabin that Wen lived in when he went north that year. The journey of more than 2,000 miles should not be too difficult.

She sat in her cabin for a while, and then went back to look at the other people's rooms.

I went to Mrs. Xie first. Mrs. Xie was the first to get on the boat, and the things had already been placed. Her old man is still leaning on the head of the bed, next to the pillow, with her eyes closed, leisurely listening to Pearl and Mrs. Jiang talk about some needles and threads.

Shemulin asked her how she was living and if she felt seasick? She waved her hand lovingly: "When I took your father and mother to travel around the world on a boat, you didn't know where it was, and you still need to worry about it?" Go, go, don't bother me, I'm closing my eyes. You specially instructed me to wake up early today, so I didn't sleep well, what was the result? The Xie family was stunned and delayed the departure time for more than an hour! If I had known this, I might as well have slept at home for a while before coming out. No one came to see me off anyway! ”

Xie Mulin is now accustomed to her sour words, and he smiled but didn't hear it: "Your old man is too pompous to speak now, and that was also called traveling the world back then?" Didn't you run from Huyin to Suzhou, and then go around Songjiang? The distance is not yet, my brothers and sisters and I have walked two round trips back and forth between Huyin and Beijing! ”

Old Lady Xie also pretended not to hear, Xie Mulin instructed the pearls and them a few words, and left.

She went to see Xie Yinghui and Xie Yingfen again. The former has a few capable maids, and he also knows how to find recreation, while the latter has both experience and brains, and he also takes the girl to arrange himself properly, and he doesn't have to worry about Xie Mulin at all. Xie Mulin left them very reassuringly, took a look at Wanqin by the way, listened to her complain about how bad the conditions on the ship were, and finally arrived at the cabin of Aunt Dajin and Xie Yingrong near the stern.

The mother and daughter don't live together, but the cabin of the two is door-to-door, and it is next to the place where the girls live, and usually no outsiders pass by, so it is very convenient to visit the door. Xie Mulin was not surprised that Aunt Dajin ran to her daughter's side again, but when she heard the content of her broken thoughts, she couldn't help but sigh.

Aunt Dajin mentioned to Xie Yingrong again Xie Yinglian, who came back today to see you off: "You always say that I want to pit you, but how good is the eldest lady of Zongfang now, her in-laws are kind, her life is rich, she has a son, and her husband is also a Si Wen Ti. I heard that he was a talent three years ago, and he won the exam at such a young age, and he has a bright future in the future. What's so bad about living like this? It's not far from my mother's house, so I can come back if I want to. When giving birth, my mother's father can still accompany me in person, how convenient it is!

"If you really marry into such a family, it is best to be local in Huyin County, it will be easy for me to see you in the future, please beg your mother-in-law in the future, maybe they can let me wait for your confinement." You always want to marry into a high-ranking family in the capital, or go to Beiping to find a young master of a high-ranking official and eunuch family, and you don't want to think about it, if you really marry into such a family, can they let me have a concubine enter the door at will? My mother's house is far away, and it's hard for you to come back to save your relatives, is it true that I haven't seen your aunt and me for ten or eight years?! ”

Although Aunt Dajin's words are not very knowledgeable, every word is full of love, but it is a pity that Xie Yingrong is not very able to listen to it: "Auntie always talks to me about this, don't you feel very annoyed?" What kind of good husband is Cheng Xie? Do you really think I haven't seen a man again?! It's just a showman, and he hasn't participated in the township test this year, so it can be seen that his knowledge is not high. In case he is just a showman for the rest of his life, Xie Yinglian doesn't care, I can't bear it! The Cheng family is not a wealthy family, and their ancestors came out of Zhizhou, and they died within a few years. The head of the family is just a few people, and there are not even thousands of acres of fertile land at home! It is said that it is a big household in Huzhou, but in fact, it is the landlord in the countryside outside the city, not the land-sitting household in Huzhou. That is, the Zongfang and other people who have lived in the countryside for many years can be seen, our third room is a high-ranking official, why should we choose the same son-in-law as the Zongfang?! I can't afford to lose that face! ”

Xie Mulin rolled his eyes outside the door.

Aunt Dajin sighed in the door: "You are also shouting to me that you are the daughter of a high-ranking official, and the master is happy to tell you good family affairs, I don't know yet." You also know that you were messing around back then, and you made the old man angry. He didn't love you much in the first place, but now he is more and more indifferent to you. If it weren't for my wife's kindness, I wouldn't dare to assert myself, and I would like to settle the family affairs for you first. If you refuse to listen to my persuasion, when the lord promises you to someone you are not willing to marry, you will not even have room to refuse, and then you will know that you will regret it! ”

Xie Yingrong sneered: "Who still expects my father to tell me a good family thing?" This kind of thing is naturally on your own! She has lived two lifetimes, and she never thought that Xie Pu could really bring her any good marriage.

Aunt Dajin looked at her daughter and sighed helplessly: "You can take it easy." The master is far away, and the young masters and girls are all kind-hearted, at most, they will lock you up for a few days. The old man got close, he really annoyed him, he sent you directly to the nunnery, and said to the outside world that you are dead, who else can you climb? Don't think that the master is a fool. I've been with him for two years, and he's better than you know! ”

Xie Yingrong snorted twice and stopped talking. Xie Mulin, who was outside the door, pursed his lips, did not enter the door, and turned to leave.
