Chapter 676: Intent
The Xie family rested overnight in the mansion at Pearl Bridge, and they all regained their strength and vitality slightly.
Early the next morning, the brothers Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi escorted Xie Yinghui and got into a carriage to visit the eldest princess of Yongning.
Before yesterday evening, they had already handed over the prayer note in advance, and had received permission from the master's family. As for why the two brothers were in charge of escorting the mission, instead of Xie Yinghui taking the servants to the Yongning Eldest Princess's Mansion by herself as they did two or three years ago, it was naturally because of that brocade cloth bag.
Xie Yinghui actually didn't know about the Tao family's case, and she didn't have much friendship with the Tao family. Instead of letting her come forward to tell the truth of the matter, it is better to let Xie Jinzhi, a person who knows the inside story, come forward. As for Xie Xianzhi, he was just an accompaniment, lest outsiders think that Xie Jinzhi, the heir of the second room, was the flower messenger of the eldest daughter of the big house, which was strange.
Xie Xianzhi postponed the trip to Jiao's house and Chengenhou Mansion to greet him, anyway, these two families are not in a hurry, especially the former, and wait until the rest of the day to come to the door, it may be easier to see Jiao Yintai, the main master.
Xie Mulin also sent Xie Huizhi to visit Wen Xuyou and his wife in General Yang Lane, and gave a gift to thank them for helping the Xie family back then. At the same time, they were also spreading the news to the former students of Zhushan Academy that Song and Xie Meijun had arrived in the capital.
Xie Huizhi also planned that after going to the Wen family, he would make a detour to meet his long-separated friend Cao Rong, talk about his farewell, and reveal some news about the Zhenjiang prefect by the way. At this time, he was not in a hurry to let Cao Rong spread the matter to the ears of the people in the Chengen Hou Mansion, but it was much easier to do anything in the future by blowing the wind in advance. At the same time, he also wanted to inquire about the current situation of Pingnanbo Mansion and Cao Shuqing's current residence.
Don't look at the fact that he always has trouble with his eldest sister Xie Yinghui, but he still knows the seriousness of the matter in his heart, and understands that these news are equally important to the Xie family's third room. He can't always put all the responsibility on the big brother and sister. The eldest sister is a delicate lady in the boudoir, and she is very wasteful. Eldest brother...... It's better to concentrate on studying and gaining fame! This kind of trivial work, who else can do it in the family except him? You can't expect the second sister to come forward, right......
Xie Mulin didn't know what her third brother had made up in her head, she saw that her brothers and sisters and her third brother had gone out to do business, Xie Yingfen could help take care of some housework, and by the way, look at the accounts of the house in Beijing for the past two or three years. One of the two aunts was responsible for coaxing the old lady, and the other was responsible for keeping an eye on Xie Yingrong, and they also saved her trouble. It seems that she can start to sacrifice the name of buying medicinal herbs and the like, and send a letter to Xiao Rui's small pharmacy?
Just as she was thinking about which person she should send out to run this leg, Xie Yingrong ran to her: "Second sister, can I send a letter to the Bian family?" I haven't seen her for a few years, I wonder if I miss my eldest sister, and I don't know what happened to her now. ”
Xie Mulin glanced at her: "You think of her at this time?" In the past, when the eldest sister planned to send a letter to a friend in Beijing, didn't Aunt Jin ask you if you would like to write a letter to a friend in Beijing? Why didn't you think of Miss Bian at that time? It's going to be a friend upside down. Could it be that you still want to inquire about Cheng Du's news? I remember the wedding card when he got married, and it was also sent to our house, and Uncle Cai also specially sent the guys of the caravan back to Xie Jiajiao, didn't you see it? ”
Xie Yingrong's face suddenly turned red, and he took a few deep breaths before calming down: "Second sister misunderstood, I ...... I just miss my friends. I don't have many friends in the capital, and I haven't seen Miss Bian for a long time, so it is inevitable that I will miss something. As for not writing to her in the past, it was also because the eldest sister had come to see me unpleasantly, and I was afraid that the person who entrusted her would send the letter, and something would go wrong on the way, so I brought humiliation on myself, so I didn't speak. If my family had sent someone to be my messenger, I would have sent a letter to Kyori a long time ago. ”
Xie Mulin didn't believe a word of her. When he left Beijing, Xie Yingrong was so resentful of the Bian family, he cursed them in the room all day long, and he didn't say anything about Miss Bian, but now she looks like a good girlfriend, who can she deceive? Although this sister has learned to be obedient in the past two years, she is still so stupid in nature, and she is confident in her acting skills and eloquence. Does she really think that everyone else has amnesia, and will forget her black history because of a few quibbles from her?
For such Xie Yingrong, Xie Mulin only has one sentence: "I don't care what you plan to do, it is impossible for the Xie family to let their daughter be a concubine, and I will not allow my sister to destroy other people's marriages!" ”
Xie Yingrong's face turned black with anger, and he stomped his feet and said, "I'm not that kind of person!" Cheng Du has already committed suicide and cut off his good future, and it is impossible to have good results in the future. How could I have wronged myself to marry him?! You don't talk nonsense! ”
Xie Mulin raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to marry Cheng Du, what are you looking for Miss Bian to do?" You became good friends with her at the beginning, wasn't it because she was Cheng Du's cousin and could be close to the water? ”
This is indeed a fact, but Xie Yingrong has a different idea now. Cheng Du has already died, but the Bian family has lived in the capital for a long time, and there is the Hou Mansion as an in-law, so the news must be well-informed. She no longer expected to marry the children of the princes in Beijing, and she had originally made up her mind to go to Beiping to find a family of dignitaries. However, yesterday, when Cai Laotian talked about who rented out the courtyards in the outer courtyard after the renovation, she heard that there was a person surnamed Wan, and she immediately remembered the memory of her previous life that had been forgotten.
In the later period of the third prince's succession, among the people who had to be used, there seemed to be a young man surnamed Wan, who was born as a concubine of the Bofu or the Hou Mansion. But his wife is a concubine, and her background is also very ordinary, just a small official and a small eunuch, but because she married this surnamed Wan, she became a second-class lady for nothing, and she was extremely beautiful. Mrs. Jiang said a few sour words at home, and she reduced people to the like a country mother-in-law. In my memory, this young man surnamed Wan is the same age as Jiang Yuliang, and it is very likely that he has not yet married at this time!
Since the Jiang family rarely mentions this person, only when the will to canonize his wife came down, Mrs. Jiang mentioned it once, so Xie Yingrong couldn't think of him originally. I can remember it now because the most impressive thing at that time was that this person himself was a concubine, and marrying a wife was also a concubine, but he was soaring. And Xie Yingrong herself is also a concubine, and her father's official position is higher than that of the other party's wife's father, but she only ended up being a concubine, so she felt very sorry for herself.
Now that she thinks back to this person, the withered grass in her heart called ambition begins to stir again. What if this surnamed Wan has a bad reputation? He is the confidant of the future new king, holding great power and high status, and he does not dislike his wife as a concubine. Why can't she marry this person?! She doesn't mind being slighted and joked about for two years, anyway, in a few years, she will be able to trample those who used to laugh at her under her feet one by one!
Cheng Du doesn't look down on her, isn't it because she's just a maid? So even if she had a life-saving grace for him, he didn't give a damn. But this descendant surnamed Wan is just a concubine now, where is she not worthy?!
It's just that...... She only remembered his surname Wan, what his name was, and what family he was from, and she didn't know anything. If she wants to find out about this person, get acquainted with him, and get married, she has to find out his identity first!
She doesn't even have a helper she can count on in the capital, and the family and servants around her are all against her, so what she can ask for help is only the Bian family who once hated her?
