Chapter Ninety-Two: Handing Over
In the end, the people who went to Wangjia Hutong together became Xie Jinzhi, Xie Mulin, Xie Huizhi and Xie Yingrong.
The first three people will go out from time to time these days, as far away as Xie Huizhi, there is nothing he dare not go to in the streets and alleys of the city, and close ones such as Xie Jinzhi and Xie Mulin, from Dali Temple Prison to the street market around Beimen Bridge, they are all patronized. There is only one Xie Yingrong, who has never gone out since entering the Li family, and is very peaceful to be a deep girl. Today she suddenly said that she wanted to go out with her, and the other three felt very inconvenient.
If Xie Yingrong had a good relationship with them on weekdays, it would be fine, but this girl spoke and acted in a weird manner, and she felt a little overwhelmed by Xie Jinzhi. However, Mrs. Xie nodded, as an elder brother, he couldn't say anything about not taking his sister out, so he could only tell Xie Yingrong that he must follow the three of them well, and don't get lost.
Xie Yingrong was a little unimpressed, but she did rarely go out, and she was a woman who lived in the backyard of the house for many years in her life. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, she wouldn't have suddenly opened this mouth today. She wanted to contact Jiang Yuliang, but Jiang Yuliang never came to the door, and she didn't know the way, so she couldn't go to Jiang's house to find someone, what else could she do? Since Xie Huizhi said that the people of the Jiang family might go to Wangjia Hutong, then even if she is not adaptable, she will try her luck.
Anyway, there were three people traveling with her, so I didn't think it was a big problem......
After Xie Yingrong got permission, he went back to the room to change his clothes and comb his hair with great interest, and he didn't even bother to finish breakfast. Xie Mulin had already known the approximate location of Wangjia Hutong from Xie Huizhi, and knew that it would take a boat from the North Gate Bridge to get an hour, and it would not work if he didn't eat enough, so he specially persuaded Xie Yingrong. But the other party didn't care, so she didn't talk much.
Anyway, Nanjing City is full of food stalls, Aunt Dajin sold jewelry privately, and made needlework to consignment, private money is still a little, her daughter wants to go out, she can't give nothing...... Xie Yingrong couldn't starve to death, so Xie Mulin didn't plan to care about this sister's affairs.
However, when she was ready to set off with her brothers, she couldn't help but be a little speechless when she saw Xie Yingrong dressed in an exquisite dress.
The Xie family is now short of money, and the clothes prepared for a few children can only have some requirements in terms of texture, such as picking some muslin of medium quality or something, and the color and pattern are secondary, anyway, most people rarely go out, as long as they are neat and tidy, and they are not rude.
But Xie Yingrong specially wore a newly made green shirt today, with flowers embroidered by her own hands on the neckline and cuffs, and the waist was tied on the day of the raid, and she changed into a clean dress after wetting her clothes. She also put fresh flowers on her head, and pinned the beaded flowers brought out from home by the way. Where is this to see the scene of the fire? It's okay to go for a drink, right?
Xie Jinzhi frowned and said, "Third sister, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for you to dress like this, right?" ”
Xie Huizhi sneered: "This is for fear that others will not know that she is a fat sheep, so she specially put out all her remaining belongings to attract thieves and robbers." You go out dressed like this, my aunt doesn't know, right? If she knew, she could still let you spoil things like this?! ”
Xie Yingrong was going to see the young masters of the Jiang family today, and felt that it was possible to meet Jiang Shaoliang, even if this man had lost her in his last life, she couldn't tolerate her unkempt appearance in front of him, so she specially dressed up with her heart. Besides, she is a young lady, how can she not dress up when she goes out? If she really wants to be like Xie Yingzhen, wandering around like a country girl, she can't do it without the dignity of an official eunuch's rich family!
She insisted: "If you go to Wangjia Hutong, you may meet the old people." If we dress too shabby, we will only make people laugh. How can our Xie family lose this face? ”
Xie Mulin snorted: "I went back and took off the jewelry and changed into an old dress." If you don't listen, don't go out with us. The old lady wants to ask, and that will be after we come back. ”
Xie Yingrong choked and glared at Xie Mulin without speaking. Xie Mulin ignored her, greeted the two brothers, and was about to go out. Xie Yingrong had to shout: "You wait for me, I'll change it immediately!" He ran back to the west courtyard in a rage.
There were three brothers and sisters left, and Xie Huizhi saw that no one else was there, so he quietly came up with a bad idea: "Let's take advantage of her absence and slip away first, right?" It's too much trouble to bring her. She is so showy, maybe she will cause some trouble on the way. Even if we don't cause trouble, with her, it's inconvenient for us to speak. ”
Xie Jinzhi sighed and said: "It's all your own siblings, don't treat her as an outsider." No matter what, she can't hurt us. Besides, the old lady has already spoken, and we left her and ran away, and the old lady will definitely curse when we turn back. ”
Xie Huizhi pouted: "The second sister also said, that is after we came back." If the old lady wants to scold, let her scold, anyway, we listen to her in everything, and she will be scolded if she doesn't go well. Her beloved eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter are not filial to her now, where can we weeds get into her eyes? No matter how well-behaved and obedient you are, it is in vain. "He really doesn't want to go out with Xie Yingrong, a squeamish lady, even if he doesn't have the heart to take the initiative to harm people, he can't stop the straw bag from unconsciously pitting people!
Xie Jinzhi still insisted: "Since you promised to take your third sister there, don't break your promise." Although you don't take the old lady's words to heart, if you can find one less scolding, why provoke her? The old lady is unhappy, and the others don't think about it, so why embarrass everyone? ”
Xie Huizhi knew that he was thinking about the Wen family, thinking about Aunt Dajin and Xie Yingrong, who often dangled in front of Old Lady Xie, he snorted lightly and didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, Xie Mulin smiled slightly and looked at Xie Jinzhi. She knew her brother's intentions in her heart. Xie Jinzhi also smiled, but opened his mouth to start a different topic: "Third brother, we will arrive at Wangjia Hutong in a while, and you will act when you have the opportunity." If we can avoid the Cao family, we will try to avoid them. However, if you can meet Jiang Shaoliang of the Jiang family, can you help me deliver him a word? ”
Xie Huizhi was stunned: "Jiang Shaoliang? ”
Xie Mulin asked curiously, "Second brother, what are you looking for Jiang Shaoliang?" Do you know him well? ”
Xie Jinzhi smiled and said: "I've dealt with each other a few times, and I used to be a friend." Now that the relationship between the two families is not as good as before, there is no need to mention these words. I want you to help me tell Jiang Shaoliang that the thief couple in the second room of the Cao family is now being searched for, I have seen similar people in the clothing gallery near the North Gate Bridge, I don't know if it is the two of them. The second room of the Cao family is currently offering a reward for the two, but I don't plan to deal with the surname Cao. He was also a bitter lord that day, if you have a heart, you can go to the arcade to investigate. ”
Xie Mulin was a little surprised: "How would the second brother know what the thief couple looked like?" ”
Xie Huizhi clapped his hands: "I mentioned it to my second brother when I came back a while ago, right?" The second room of the Cao family is looking for someone, the characteristics are very detailed, the woman is tall and fat, very conspicuous, the man is a short, black and thin person, and there is a mole the size of a copper coin on the left cheek, which is very easy to recognize! ”
Xie Jinzhi nodded: "Exactly." Yesterday I went to the bookstore to sell the copied books, and when I passed by the clothing estimator, I saw a short, dark and thin man who had just bought a set of women's clothes from one of the largest clothing estimators. The people in the store said that the women's suit was very large, and guessed that the man's wife must have been tall and fat. However, there was no black mole the size of a copper coin on the man's face. ”
Xie Huizhi couldn't help but be stunned.
