Xiao Rui left Beiping City the next day.

He walked very low-key, only brought a small number of people, and even Xiao Xu stayed in the Yanwang Mansion, and only said that he was ordered by the King of Yan to go out of the city to do business, and did not specifically mention that the destination was the capital.

Since he had only gone out of the city to Zizhuyuan two days ago, and had dealt with the nearby garrison, others thought that his business trip was of a similar nature, and that he would go to a place not far from Beiping to do business, so he didn't ask much at all.

The members of the clan next to the Yanwang Mansion were busy with their own affairs. Mrs. Xu had just been greatly hurt because of the loan, and she was sad for her only daughter's slightly cold attitude, and she was sulking with her daughter at this time, at most she asked where Xiao Rui was, and the side didn't inquire much at all. As for the Zhou family, they have long left Beiping, and in recent days, a large number of people have rushed over from Baoding to pull away the large pieces of furniture and luggage that were originally stored in the official residence.

The people in Beiping City lived peacefully, and no one paid attention to Xiao Rui's departure.

Xie Mulin also knocked on the side from his parents, and made sure that even Xie Pu had not heard about Xiao Rui's entry into Beijing, so he also kept silent with a smile.

In the warm spring of March, Zizhuyuan and his party, Xie Mulin's family had a good time, but after all, they were in a closed garden. Seeing that the weather was excellent almost every day, neither hot nor cold, the wind was beautiful, and when the second day of rest came, Xie Pu finally didn't have to work overtime, so Xie Mulin encouraged his family to go out of the city again. This time they went in the other direction, but there were mountains and rivers, and there were large peach blossoms to enjoy, and the family also had a lot of fun.

The circle of officials and eunuchs in Beiping City, after playing the spring outing out of the city, has risen up to hold banquets in their own or rented gardens to entertain guests, and invite people to enjoy flowers or compose poems. The Xie family received several posts.

Wen has been in Beiping for a few years, and he is already very familiar with this, picking up posts from a few acquaintances and taking the girls to a few banquets. She took Xie Yingrong very carefully, but this kind of banquet is often a blind date occasion in disguise, almost all the daughters of the Xie family already have families, and even Xie Yingfen, who has not yet decided on the surface, has actually been taken care of, but it has not been announced to the public. The daughter of the Xie family participates in this kind of banquet, that is, eating, drinking, and having fun, and she doesn't need to pay attention to the wives and grandmothers who want to find their daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law. Therefore, Wen sat in the banquet, very calm, and did not allow the girls to walk around, and no one picked her thorns. Several banquets have been handled so tepidly and smoothly.

Xie Yingrong is also honest, firstly, because she has already married, and secondly, because she doesn't look down on these people. Among them, the highest status is only the governor's mansion, and this governor is the son of the old minister of the current Qiandi, and after a few years of the new monarch ascends the throne, he will no longer be popular. Xie Yingrong's heart is very high, where would he put such a person in his eyes?

She is honest, and the Wen family and Xie Mulin sisters can also breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing that the weather is getting warmer day by day, and some people are rising up to play on the Shichahai Sea by boat, Wen is also a little tempted.

Since the lord of Yongping County was the east, he invited the Xie family, the governor's family, the envoy family and several young ladies of the general's family, as well as the girls of the branch clan family next to the Yanwang Mansion to swim in Shichahai on a painting boat, and by the way, they ate and drank on the boat, and called the female luthier to come to Haosheng to play, and many people also learned the county lord of Yongping, or bought or rented, found all kinds of gorgeous painting boats, or entertained themselves among relatives and friends, or invited guests to be guests of the East Banquet. Every day, there are one or twenty painting boats floating on the water surface on the Shichahai Sea, and from time to time there is the sound of orchestral music or human voice singing. The Xie family can hear it clearly in the back garden. On the most lively day, Xie Mulin went for a walk in the verandah of the back garden after dinner, and he could hear someone singing a newly launched Kunqu opera on the nearby water.

The Xie family didn't have a boat, but it was easy to borrow a boat. Going out from the small gate in the back garden of the official residence, there is a small ready-made pier at the water's edge within a few steps. The boat is moored there, and if the Xie family wants to take a cruise, they can walk from the back garden at any time. The wind on the lake is relatively strong, but it is the season when the weather is getting warmer day by day, so you can borrow a little bit of coolness from the water. After being seduced by the frolicking sound coming from the lake for a few days, Wen finally nodded and agreed, and went to persuade Xie Pu to get a medium-sized painting boat, and the Xie family took a boat to swim on the lake and have some fun.

This time they also brought two old ladies with them.

Song is quite accustomed to this kind of entertainment. When she was a child, she once followed her father to take the painting boat of literati and scholars; When she was young, she also followed her husband to board the ship of a famous poet on the West Lake. She can also tell her daughters, daughters-in-law and grandchildren about her experiences when she was young, chant good poems and good words she once heard, and even say one, two, three songs on the painting boats that pass by nearby.

Mrs. Xie is not good, she is very interested in the entertainment method of cruises, but she wants to call the small singers, plays, storytellers or something on other people's boats to perform for herself. From afar, she heard the excitement on other people's boats, and her heart itched. But the painting boat borrowed by Xie Pu is not big, just the Xie family, his subordinates, and the boatmen, etc., are already full. There is also a boatload of female dependents, and Wen doesn't want strangers to get on the boat, for fear that something will happen.

Besides, there are a few nearby boats that have invited professional entertainment people, and they don't seem to be familiar with them. Wen suspected that it was a few big merchants in Beiping City, and he didn't want to deal with them, for fear that the other party would climb up and cause trouble to Xie Pu.

Mrs. Xie was disappointed, and took the girl and her mother-in-law to blow the wind on the bow of the boat. The wind is quite cool, and it can be far away from Song. She didn't want to see this concubine show off her smug appearance at all, as if the Song family was a talented woman from a noble background, but she was a reckless village woman in her belly.

Clearly...... She is also the daughter of the official eunuch family! Just as knowledgeable and lily......

Xie Mulin listened to the Song family's talk about the ancients, and she was actually quite happy to listen, but she turned her head to look at Mrs. Xie several times, and found that the other party was sitting on the bow of the boat and did not move. Will this old lady be able to hold on? Although it is almost April and the weather is warm, the wind on the lake is still quite strong......
