Chapter 448: Invited
Xie Mulin found that Yang Yiquan's uncle sometimes stared at his mother, Wen, with strange eyes.
However, he is far away, and when he looks at people, he only talks to his wife Xie Meijun next to him, which doesn't seem to have any bad intentions.
Xie Mulin also probed Xie Meijun, but Aunt Meijun didn't seem to think that there was anything abnormal about her husband's approach, so she smiled and said, "It's your uncle who inadvertently looked in your direction, right?" I guess I just happened to talk about whether or not to compensate your mother. Your uncle was a little overwhelmed, and I urged him a few times, but he was embarrassed. Good boy, don't pay attention to your stupid uncle, it's harder to ask him to take the initiative to compensate than to climb to the sky! But he knew it was wrong in his heart, but he didn't have the face to say it. Don't be like him, just don't see it. Someday, he'll figure it out for himself. β
Is that so?
Xie Mulin was skeptical, but every time he saw Yang Yiquan staring at his mother's back, when Wen turned around, he quickly looked away, and it seemed that he was indeed a little pretentious and embarrassed to admit it...... Okay, she actually has a lot of things to do, and she doesn't have time to care if this confused uncle is guilty of tsundere. As Aunt Mei Jun said, just don't see it.
The boudoir school has completely suspended classes, and Xie Mulin takes his fourth sister Xie Yingrong every day to help his mother Wen and assist in the preparations for the New Year. This New Year is the first time that the Wen family has celebrated the New Year in their hometown clan since they married into the Xie family for more than ten years, and there are many rituals, rules, and customs...... It's all about doing it all and not letting people find anything wrong. Wen took this New Year very seriously, and even his children were very attentive and did their best to help Wen.
After the twentieth day of the first month, seeing that it was about to come to Chinese New Year's Eve, the gentlemen left behind at Zhushan Academy, who originally opened a small stove for a few students who lived nearby, were now going to stop completely. Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi stopped taking a boat to the academy every day to report for duty, and also began to help the elders at home. Xie Xianzhi became Wen's assistant, and Xie Jinzhi was directly sent by Wen to the second room to listen to Song's call.
Just when everyone was busy, because of his young age, Xie Huizhi, who only needed to be in charge of part of the procurement work, quietly came to Xie Mulin: "Second sister, Second Brother Xiao is back again." β
Hey? Who?
Xie Mulin was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Xiao Rui is back?" How do you come here at this time? Did he go to you? β
"He asked Jia Da from the old mansion to bring me a letter and called me over." Xie Huizhi said with some uneasiness, "He said...... He wants to see you, the second sister, and has serious things to discuss with you. I actually don't think it's appropriate, who wants to meet him in private? But he looked serious and said that this incident was related to the safety of our family, so I must invite you over......"
Xie Mulin frowned, remembering the large amount of work at hand, and said, "If he really has something important to tell our family, can he tell you first?" You're not a child anymore, you've helped the family a lot in the past six months, and you know how important things are. β
Xie Huizhi was quite happy when he heard her say this, touched his head embarrassedly and smiled, and then continued: "I also told him so, and told him that if he thinks I'm young and I'm afraid that I won't be able to stand it, I'll ask the eldest brother and second brother to tell him." But he said that he has dealt with you a lot with the second sister, and thinks you are smarter and more reliable...... Well, I can't say that he thinks this wrong...... "In fact, he sometimes thinks that the second sister is smarter than the eldest brother, and she is more decisive and courageous than the second brother." But he wouldn't mention that to his brothers.
Xie Mulin hesitated: "The gods are mysterious...... What the hell is he doing? "She is not very happy to go out to meet an outsider on a cold day, even if the other party is a handsome guy. However, she remembered the important news that Xiao Rui had brought to her in the past few times, and she was afraid that if she really didn't go, she would miss any particularly important information.
So she asked Xie Huizhi: "Where is Xiao Rui now?" When is he going to see me? Where to see it? Can I bring someone with me? β
Xie Huizhi hurriedly said: "I have asked him, he said that he is going to stay in Huyin for three days to do some private affairs, but because he is entangled in private affairs, it is inconvenient to visit, so he can only let you go to see him." In the past three days, you can go to see him whenever you want, second sister. He also borrowed our family's old house, and Jia Da who watched the house was familiar with him, and thought that he was a son and brother from a wealthy family, and he was still a relative of the emperor, so he didn't dare to block him out of the door, so he took the opportunity to ask Jia Da to bring me a letter. When the time comes, I will accompany the second sister to meet him. He had agreed. β
If it weren't for seeing Xiao Rui's attitude towards this matter frank enough, Xie Huizhi wouldn't dare to really take his sister out to meet with a foreign man privately.
Xie Mulin thought about it, and then said, "I'll go to the second brother and say it, report it, and then go with you." As for the time...... Tomorrow afternoon. I stopped by to bring back the loom I had left in the old house. I've been borrowing my fourth sister's loom to practice these days, so I'm embarrassed. Aunt Qin stared at me with a long face all day long, and I don't know if I hate me...... Take this as a reason, coax my mother first. If Xiao Rui really said any important information, it won't be too late for me to tell my mother. When the time comes, just say that you happened to meet him in the old mansion. β
Xie Huizhi hurriedly nodded and agreed. He went to contact Xiao Rui to set the time and regulations for the meeting, and Xie Mulin went to his second brother Xie Jinzhi and told him about the situation.
Xie Jinzhi frowned: "How can it be enough to only bring the third brother?" Bring a few more strong and powerful servants, and you can also have a helper in case of trouble. Although Jia Da is good, he is too weak alone. Xiao Rui is a military attachΓ©, although I don't know what his skills are, but he is a disciple of a general, and he is a person from Jinshan Weizhong who governs the army strictly, and his martial arts are not much worse. If he wants to do evil, you will not be helpless. After a pause, "I'll go with you." β
Xie Mulin heard it funny: "Second brother, don't be nervous. We have dealt with Xiao Rui a few times, and we know him better, so he won't do anything bad. If he really wants to be bad, can he still openly call the third brother to invite me? I thought that he had just come back from the capital not long ago, and he had promised to come to our house, but suddenly he was called away again. After so many days, he came back again, afraid that there was really important news to tell us. I was afraid that I would miss important information, so I agreed to meet him. The old house is our family's territory, there are our family's descendants in the house, the neighbors are the tenants of the sect, and the back mountain is the familiar Qianwan Village villagers. Jia Da stares at him every day, do you think he can set any traps in our old house? There is really something wrong, Jia Da reported it early. β
Xie Jinzhi was right to think about it, and his face softened a little, but he still insisted on accompanying his sister: "Since you are going openly, with me and my third brother accompanying you, and there is a reason to take the loom, no one can gossip." Since Xiao Rui is a righteous gentleman, he won't care about this. If he really has important news related to the safety of our Xie family, with me and the third brother to help you with the details, you also have someone who can discuss, and when the time comes, you can ask him more carefully. β
Xie Jin's face was awe-inspiring, Xie Mulin felt that his brother was reasonable, so he agreed, but he didn't notice that his second brother's eyes revealed a vigilant gaze.
