Xie Mulin specially came to Gu Niangzi to say this, and he had to do it as a last resort.

The Wen family strictly guarded and did not allow her daughter to have any more contact with Xiao Rui in private. Considering that she had relented and promised to take Xiao Rui, the future son-in-law, seriously with Xie Pu, Xie Mulin didn't want to make things too stiff and affect Xiao Rui's image in the eyes of his parents, so he would be too sorry for his repeated help and full sincerity. Therefore, she can only abide by her mother's ban on the surface, and only engage in small actions in private.

Xie Xianzhi was ordered by Wen to deliver the letter. This eldest brother is an honest reader. If you fool him into acting, it will be difficult to explain to him after exposing the truth; Second, he didn't want this eldest brother to have a bad feeling for Xiao Rui, so Xie Mulin didn't deceive Wen's letter from him, but directly dragged him to see Gu Niangzi.

Anyway, the real reply she wanted to send to Xiao Rui was not in the envelope of Wen's thank you letter, but had already been secretly handed over to Cuijiao, who was going to go to Beiping with Wen. As long as Gu Niangzi knows that Cuijiao is going to Beiping, and then tells Xiao Rui the news, the latter will always find a way to find Cuijiao. And Cuijiao, as a girl waiting in the inner house, is not easy to go out without the consent of the owner when she arrives in a strange place. Xiao Rui has connections and manpower in Beiping, so it will be much easier for him to contact Cuijiao.

Now the question is only whether Xiao Rui can stay in Beiping until Cuijiao arrives.

However, the letter in Cuijiao's hand will not disappear, this girl has always been clever, and she will hide things so that no one will notice. Even if Xiao Rui has already gone to work in a northern border city, there will always be a time to return to Beiping City, and he will know who to ask when the time comes. Xie Mulin did not write any urgent news in the letter, but just implicitly expressed his gratitude and said many good things. There are some emotional hints in these good words, but whether Xiao Rui can see it depends on his understanding.

When Xie Mulin sat back in the carriage, the corners of his mouth were still slightly smiling, and he asked Xie Xianzhi in a good mood: "Big brother, when we go back to Beijing this time, we spend most of our time in seclusion, and rarely come out." Now that we're all about to go back to Huyin, it's hard to come out again, do you want to buy something for your eldest sister? As a gift, comfort the eldest sister who couldn't go out to breathe today, right? ”

Xie Xianzhi smiled and said, "What can I buy?" If you ask me to pick the rouge gouache that the little girl's family likes, it will definitely not work. Clothes and materials, our family already has them. I still have filial piety in me, and it's not suitable for wandering around outside. ”

Xie Mulin sighed: "Then buy some pastries and snacks or something, it is best to have a tonic effect." I know that my eldest sister used to not eat outside food because she thought that the things outside were not clean. But now it's not the same as before, and we can try it once in a while. Otherwise, the eldest sister always doesn't eat this and that, and only eats two spoonfuls of food for the main meal, a small half bowl of soup, just like a bird eating, what is enough? Lack of nutrition, of course, the body will not get better! ”

Xie Xianzhi listened to the second sister chanting about the health sutra on weekdays, and he was also familiar with some of her words, so he picked it up very smoothly: "The second sister is reasonable, then let's go find some Poria cream, Ejiao cake, walnut cake or something, and take it back for the eldest sister to taste." ”

The siblings patronized one of the largest pastry shops in the capital and bought a few healthy pastries before returning home.

When she got home, Xie Yinghui was already impatient: "You guys go to see you off, why did you come back in half a day?!" It's long overdue for lunch, but you've been nowhere to be seen, and I'm thinking you're not coming back to eat today! ”

Xie Mulin stepped forward with a smile and hugged her arm and said, "Eldest sister, don't be angry, eldest brother is worried about you at home, you can't eat well these days, you can't sleep well, so I want to buy you some pastries and snacks that have a tonic effect on the body to make snacks, and eat them on the way home to relieve boredom." The eldest brother's love for the eldest sister, of course, I, as a sister, want to fulfill him, so I accompanied him on a trip, so I came back late. ”

Xie Xianzhi touched his nose, only to feel that the second sister had pushed all the credit on him, but in fact, this idea was not his idea, so he smiled awkwardly: "Actually, it was the second sister's idea, and it was also the dim sum she picked." How do I know what you like to eat? As he spoke, he motioned for Jiang Pu to put the snacks he bought on the table and put them on the table one by one.

Where does Xie Yinghui care who came up with this idea? Anyway, she just needs to know that her brother and second sister care about her. Looking at the snacks that obviously suited her taste, she curled the corners of her mouth and said angrily: "That's it, I'll spare you today." Let's eat, I'm hungry! ”

The three of them sat around for dinner. Seeing that Xie Yingrong was not there, Xie Xianzhi couldn't help but wonder: "What about the third sister?" ”

Xie Yinghui said: "As soon as you leave, she sneakily doesn't know what she plans to do, I'm afraid that she will sneak out and cause trouble again, or she won't leave anyone's house, so I simply asked Mrs. Jiang to escort her back to Jinxuan Hall and be grounded." Mrs. is well-intentioned, but we can't let the three girls spoil Mrs.'s kindness. ”

Xie Xianzhi opened his mouth, remembering the trouble Xie Yingrong had caused several times, so he shut up.

Xie Mulin didn't even speak for Xie Yingrong, and didn't have the slightest intention of interceding for the latter, he just ate by himself, and talked with a smile about the situation when he saw him off at the dock today, and by the way, he introduced Xie Yinghui to the scenery outside the Sanshan Gate.

Xie Yinghui listened with a little yearning: "When we leave the day after tomorrow, will we also pass by the street shops there?" ”

Xie Mulin nodded: "We specially chartered two ships this time, not to follow the caravan, so when to leave and what port to dock at, we have the final say." If the eldest sister is interested, you can also take a stroll around the streets near the pier. However, there are many people coming and going, there are many people and cars, we girls go to play, it is better to bring a few more people, be careful. ”

Xie Yinghui thought for a while: "That's it, can the shops near the pier be better than the shops in the downtown in the city?" As soon as I heard you say that there were a lot of people and cars over there, I didn't want to go, because I was afraid that the smell would be unpleasant. I just need to take a look at the scenery and see something new. ”

Then she was a little curious: "How did you lend the green banana to your wife?" I hadn't heard you talk about it before. Cuijiao is gone, you only have a peach by your side, can you handle it? ”

Xie Mulin smiled: "Of course there is no problem. I'm not one of those who can't do everything. I did decide a little hastily about Cuijiao, but if I had told my mother beforehand, she would definitely not have agreed. But when I took someone to the dock, told her that her luggage was packed, and then came up with a reason why Cuijiao missed her parents, my mother would probably not refuse. Zhao Fengnian and his wife have been following their father for many years, and Cuijiao rarely sees them. The year before last year, I finally reunited for a few months, and I had to be separated for thousands of miles, which is pitiful. As a master, I have the heart to fulfill the filial piety of the people around me, what reason does my mother have to refuse? ”

As for the lack of people around me...... Now the luggage is basically packed, and it is enough to have peaches for daily affairs; There are not many things to do on the way back, and the descendants of the three brothers and sisters can share it; When I got home, there were pears, there were husbands and wives, and there were a lot of girls and mothers-in-law at home, where was there a shortage of people? Xie Mulin also plans to take the opportunity to train new talents!

Xie Yinghui saw her sworn appearance, and she didn't persuade much, but said: "There are three girls on my side, just say when you are short of people, and I will ask Lu Qi to help you." "As for You Chunle Xia, she is the girl of the Ma family, and she is not good at lending.

Xie Mulin didn't care, continued to talk and laugh with his brothers and sisters, and finished the somewhat belated lunch. After eating tea after the meal, the three of them were a little sleepy, and they were about to go back to their rooms for a nap, but Cai Laotian came over to report with a solemn expression: "General Fang's wife is here." ”
