Chapter 614: Borrowing
The two younger sisters made up their minds, although Xie Xianzhi still felt that as the eldest son, he should not accompany his mother and sister on a long trip to take care of his injured father, but the second sister's concerns were also reasonable. The eldest sister is the same mother as him, and he really can't leave her to go back to his hometown alone. After much hesitation, he accepted his sisters' arrangement.
Now that they've made their decision, they'll have to change their original plan.
Originally, Xie Mulin asked the shopkeeper Mao to book a ship going north, but now there is no need to book this northbound ship, Xie Mulin wants to follow Wen's to take those cargo ships that are ready to go north quickly. But Xie Xianzhi, Xie Yinghui and Xie Yingrong don't have to rush back to Huyin, but they can rebook two boats and go back by water, which is much more comfortable on the road, and can also let Xie Yinghui take a look at the scenery outside the capital by the way, broaden their horizons, and take a good break.
As for the cargo ship that Xie Mulin wants to take, since it is mainly to transport goods, there are definitely not many cabins that can accommodate people, and the Wen family has already brought a lot of people, so Xie Mulin can't bring too many girls and women, and he has to leave seats for the guards and male servants.
She remembered that Cuijiao was more familiar with her and knew more things, so she planned to bring only Cuijiao. As for Xiangtao, I was originally going to go back to Huyin with her, but now it depends on my wishes. If Xiangtao wanted to stay in the capital with her parents and family, she would not stop her. Of course, if the peach wants to go to Huyin, it doesn't hurt. The eldest sister Xie Yinghui has only picked up a lot of people there, and she is short of manpower, and relying on a green Qi alone is not a long-term solution. Add an extra peach, how much can you share some of the burden for Luqi.
In addition to Cuijiao, who is waiting with him, it is enough to bring Jia Da, who is running errands outside. Xie Mulin can rub his mother Wen's hands in her daily life, and she is not the kind of person who can't live without calling slaves and maids. There are too many people waiting, and she will be annoyed.
And then there's the luggage. Most of the winter clothes that Xie Mulin brought to the capital were winter clothes, and one or two spring clothes were also thick padded models. Now that the date of returning to my hometown has been postponed again and again, the clothes are not enough, and it is too late to make a new one in the capital. Xie Mulin couldn't find a fit in the old clothes he packed in his box - the fits had been shipped back to Huyin, so he had to ask Xie Yinghui to borrow a few sets of home-style autumn clothes, all of which were made last year.
Xie Mulin has grown a lot taller now, and Xie Yinghui's clothes are a little too short and tight for her, but it makes people hurry up and put on the volume, and they can cope with it for a few days. In the accompanying luggage, you should bring a few more pieces of cloth, and when the time comes, there will be nothing to do on the ship, so you can bury your head in making new clothes, and you can wear them when you arrive in Cangzhou.
When she arrived in Beiping, it was the spring season, and in order to take care of her injured father, she had no social needs, and homely clothes were enough. When my father recovered from his injury, my mother Wen needed to socialize with others, and it was time to make summer clothes. Whether it's making new clothes in Beiping or sending old clothes from Huyin's hometown, there is enough time to turn around.
Xie Mulin figured it out, and began to hurry up and pack his luggage. The green banana also had to pack his bags, and asked Lu Qi and Xiang Tao to borrow a few sets of lighter spring clothes just in case.
Xie Xianzhi went out, but he still wanted to go to the Chengenhou Mansion to see his biological mother. Even if you can't see anyone, you have to say hello to Cao Wentai and tell the other party that you are leaving. Xie Pu was attacked, and he also had to reveal one or two things, so that Cao Wentai would know what good things Fang Wenshan had done under the rule of King Yan. Regardless of whether Fang Wenshan had many connections in the Northern Army, this kind of act of slapping King Yan in the face alone was enough to offend people. Even if King Yan didn't know that he did it, as soon as the letter from the Xie family passed through, the secret was not a secret. If the Cao family hoped to rely on Fang Wenshan to win over a few generals with military power in the northern army, it would be tantamount to asking for fish from the wood.
Xie Xianzhi was determined to cut off Fang Wenshan's back road in the court, lest he become more arrogant and crazy after he had the support of the powerful. As for whether his mother Cao Shuqing will be implicated because of this, he can't care about it anymore. The mother can ignore the safety of their brothers and sisters and think about Fang Wenshan wholeheartedly, what qualifications does she have to force the filial piety of their brothers and sisters?
Xie Yinghui went to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongning. When she returned home half a day later, three more people had been added to her back.
Ma Yurong lent her three people, two big girls and a manservant.
Among the two big girls, there is also an acquaintance, who is You Chun, who was with Xie Yinghui when she was injured. You Chun failed to rescue Xie Yinghui in time that time, although it was because the latter was not her master, and she had no intention of taking risks for outsiders, but Ma Yurong was still very angry.
Ma Yurong thought that if it weren't for You Chun being her own person, Xie Yinghui would be very tolerant and unwilling to send You Chun out to run errands, but instead called Lu Qi, and Xie Yinghui should have been followed by Lu Qi at that time. And Lu Qi is loyal to the lord, and when he sees a kettle flying towards his master, he will definitely stand in the way. You Chun received preferential treatment from Xie Yinghui, but it was a dereliction of duty to ignore her being hurt. If it weren't for Xie Yinghui's intercession, she would have been able to kick this derelict girl out of the house immediately.
But even if he was not kicked out of the house, You Chun's status in the Ma family has plummeted, and it is far less beautiful than when he was a big girl in the past. She is a smart girl, unwilling to be degraded, and she is determined to return to Miss. In order to make Ma Yurong angry, she learned that Ma Yurong was going to send a maid to Xie Yinghui, so she recommended herself. Ma Yurong didn't believe her at first, but after intercession with other girls around her, she reluctantly nodded, and said that if You Chun couldn't wait for her good friend Xie Yinghui this time, she wouldn't have to go back to Ma's house in the future, and she would fend for herself outside!
As for the other big girl borrowed by Ma Yurong, it was Le Xia next to her. Although Le Xia and You Chun are the same big girls, their temperament is very different from the latter, they are honest and loyal, good at cooking, especially good medicinal food. Ma Yurong lent her to Xie Yinghui in the hope that Xie Yinghui could recover from her injuries and take care of her body as soon as possible.
Xie Yinghui originally felt that it was inappropriate, because Le Xia was Ma Yurong's person, what if she left with her, but asked Ma Yurong? But Ma Yurong dispelled her doubts, saying that she is now following her father, and eating good soup and dishes specially ordered by her mother, Princess Yongning, the chef's skills are much stronger than Lexia's, and she doesn't have to worry about eating in March or May.
As for the manservant, it is Le Xia's eldest brother Le Wang, a man in his twenties, born as a scholar, who used to wait in the study of Ma Ergongzi, can read and write, and can write and count. In addition, his father is a small housekeeper in the study outside the eldest princess's mansion, who is responsible for receiving posts and return gift lists, and Le Wang has learned a lot of things. followed Ma Ergongzi out to socialize, and he knew many people and was proficient in all kinds of communication. With him and Xie Yinghui's brothers and sisters, someone will be responsible for the miscellaneous affairs of foreign affairs along the way. If you really meet someone who doesn't have long eyes, if you don't even give face to Xie Pu's name, the people in the Eldest Princess's Mansion can always fake the tiger and block people back.
It can be said that Ma Yurong lent these three people very thoughtfully for Xie Yinghui. This friend is really speechless.
Xie Mulin sighed, and only felt that his eldest sister was really lucky. Looking at Xie Yinghui's smiling eyes, she was obviously very happy that her good friend could take such good care of herself. She persuaded Xie Yinghui earnestly: "Eldest sister, Miss Ma is so good to you, you can't live up to this friendship." ”
Xie Yinghui snorted lightly: "Of course!" She's a good friend of mine for life! ”
Xie Mulin smiled, and was about to speak, when he heard Xiang Tao report: "The third girl is making trouble again!" ”
