Although Xiao Rui was uneasy, Aunt Li refused to tell him about her plans. He asked his subordinates to keep an eye on her, and he only saw her staying in her courtyard honestly every day, knocking scriptures and praying for the blessings of the old master, which was no different from usual, at most, she sent out to the house to deliver messages more often.

Xiao Rui could only guess that Aunt Li might be planning to make trouble, but it wouldn't be too big, and the result would be mostly in his favor. Since it won't hinder her own safety, he can let her go. However, when he plans to do something, he will try his best to inform Aunt Li, so as not to conflict with the plans of the two. So far, Aunt Li's actions have not affected him, nor have they stopped him from doing anything, so he has not asked her what she thinks.

Xie Mulin was also a little uneasy when he heard this, but Xiao Rui and Aunt Li were neither stupid nor impulsive, and they still had money and people under them, so something must not happen? She could only remind Xiao Rui: "It's best to let people pay more attention to Aunt Li's actions, she only has one son, and she has always loved you, if there is no ulterior, there is no reason to hide from you what she wants to do." Maybe she thinks you'll stop her if you know about her plan. What is your reason for stopping her? If you don't feel upset, it's okay. Since there is a vague premonition of bad intentions, it is better to be vigilant. ”

Xiao Rui solemnly agreed: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to it." "Aunt Li is his biological mother, and there is no need to say how important it is to him. In the past, he only felt that his aunt had always been reliable and could not do anything stupid, but now listening to Xie Mulin's reminder, he felt that there was nothing wrong with being careful. When he was at the border, he also relied on his intuition to avoid several enemy attacks and dangers, so why should he take it lightly in the peaceful capital, thinking that his intuition was just an illusion? Even if his aunt didn't have anything to do in the end, he secretly paid attention, at least he could clean up for her, check and fill in the gaps, and wouldn't he be the one who could benefit?

Xie Mulin and Xiao Rui discussed a few more miscellaneous matters, and Xie Huizhi outside the door was already waiting a little impatiently, leaning on the door and saying angrily: "Second Brother Xiao, you have been talking to my second sister for more than an hour, and it's almost time to finish, right?" My second sister and I came out to buy a few plasters, an hour is already a long time, if we go back too late, the family will feel strange! ”

Xiao Rui was shocked to realize that an hour had passed, why did he feel that it hadn't been long? He couldn't help but ask Xie Huizhi: "Is it really more than an hour?" ”

"Can there be a fake?!" Xie Huizhi caught a glimpse of his second sister smiling, and did not stop him, so he quickly rushed into the house, "I specially asked the shopkeeper in front of me to inquire." He is dispensing medicine for our family, and he can match a batch in half an hour on weekdays, and now he has finished dispensing two batches of medicine, and the third batch has just begun, isn't it just more than an hour?! ”

Xie Mulin sighed and said to Xiao Rui: "Today's news is almost over, so let's leave it at that." During our family's stay in the capital, if you have a letter to pass to me, pass it on to the third brother first, and he will pass it on to me. Meet...... I'm afraid it's harder. Even if I had the excuse that I wanted to go out and buy something, I couldn't go out twice in three days. The elders in the family are all hands and sisters, and I don't have so much freedom to move. ”

Xiao Rui showed regret on his face, he also knew that it would be good to see each other again, if he could see him a second time, it would be a great luck! He reluctantly said to Xie Mulin: "Communication is easy to handle, and there is a emblem, but I hope to talk to you face to face." Actually, your two brothers and I are old acquaintances, so why don't you visit you another day......"

Without waiting for Xie Mulin to speak, Xie Huizhi first said: "My second brother lives in Zhuangzi outside the city, and the eldest brother is the most square, if you come to visit them, you will never have the opportunity to see the second sister, so it's better to save it!" ”

Xiao Rui was dumbfounded, and when he thought about it, he felt that he really had difficulties, and the whole person became depressed.

Seeing this, Xie Mulin couldn't help but purse his lips and smile: "You don't need to put on such an appearance, if it's not a long conversation, just a simple meeting, we can make an appointment at another location." Just like today, it is not difficult to pretend to go to the store to buy something, wait in the back hall, and meet briefly and say a few words in the meantime. ”

Xiao Rui thought for a while: "I don't have many serious industries in the capital, but the shop of the ancient lady's family can be borrowed." I went to ask her first, and when I have a letter, I will immediately ask Huizhi to send you a message. ”

Xie Mulin agreed, but Xie Huizhi said disapprerovingly: "Instead of meeting so secretly, why don't you two tell your family earlier, wouldn't it be easy to set the marriage?" After the second sister went to Beiping, her father and wife were determined to show her other people. Second Brother Xiao is also nineteen years old, and if he hadn't been guarding the side, he would have reached the age of getting married. If you can settle the marriage, you will be an unmarried couple in the future, and it will be much easier to see each other. For example, if you two have a marriage contract, where do you need to find a place to meet each other secretly? Second Brother Xiao came directly to our house, and invited the second sister to the flower hall in the outer courtyard to talk, so many people in the family stared, and they were not afraid of what outsiders said, and they were even more bright and comfortable in their own place, and it was no problem for Second Brother Xiao to stay and eat, isn't it good? ”

Xie Mulin and Xiao Rui glanced at each other when they heard this, and they both showed wry smiles. The latter told Xie Huizhi directly: "Do you think I don't want to? Before I returned to Beijing, I had already met Master Xie in Beiping, and I also asked His Royal Highness King Yan to protect the media. Master Xie has already agreed to me, as long as our family comes forward to propose marriage first, this matter will be a certainty! ”

Xie Huizhi was very surprised, and immediately puzzled: "Then what are you worried about?" Isn't your family happy? Seeing that Xiao Rui didn't deny it, he was immediately upset, "Why?!" What's wrong with my second sister?! Is it a family background that is not worthy, a talent that is not worthy, or a look that is not worthy?! Second Brother Xiao, don't blame me for speaking politely, you can marry a good girl like my second sister, it's like the ancestral tomb is smoking, okay? Your family is not happy? Do they want you to marry a fairy?! ”

Xie Mulin pulled his sleeve: "Third brother, don't be angry, General Xiao is not happy, it's not that I don't think I'm good, but I don't want your second brother Xiao to be too close to His Royal Highness King Yan." Our family is a confidant of His Royal Highness King Yan, so General Xiao has concerns. ”

Xie Huizhi's face softened slightly, but he still couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What's there to worry about?" Don't tell me it's because of military power or something? Although my father was an official in Beiping, he was still a courtier of the imperial court, and he was sent by the emperor, if General Xiao disliked our family because of this, then why didn't the emperor transfer my father elsewhere? Isn't he also the emperor's confidant? How? The emperor's henchmen are still taboo about His Royal Highness King Yan's henchmen?! The emperor hasn't said anything yet! After a pause, he frowned and guessed, "Could it be that he doesn't want his nephew, the third prince, to be the heir of King Yan?" ”

Xiao Rui said helplessly: "Don't speculate, I will find a way to inquire my father's thoughts clearly." Anyway, I only identified your second sister as one person, no matter who persuades me, I will not marry someone else, the difference is only when the marriage will be decided. ”

Xie Huizhi stared at him for a long time before he nodded: "Okay, I believe in Second Brother Xiao, then I will go back with Second Sister first, and wait for your good news." ”
