Chapter 985: Inquiry

Xie Yingrong wanted to know more news, but everything he knew was from Cuijiao. Cuijiao just mentioned that Wan San Gongzi was going to enter Beijing, and he didn't say too much detail.

But Cuijiao can know the news, and it is all from the girl in the main courtyard. Just now, the people from the main courtyard came to invite the second girl, Xie Mulin, saying that the wife had something to discuss with the second girl, and inadvertently mentioned it. Xiangtao accompanied the second girl to the main courtyard, and Cuijiao stayed to see the courtyard, and she didn't know much about it. If you want to know more detailed information, you must ask the main courtyard.

Xie Yingrong listened to the words of his heart, hurriedly got off the kang to dress and change his shoes, and also went to the upper room of the main courtyard. Ruyi persuaded: "This day has just become gloomy, and snow beads have fallen again, and the ground is slippery tight. The girl should wait for the snow to stop before going out. Wan San Gongzi wants to enter Beijing, although it is sudden, but he is not not coming back, what is the girl to worry about? ”

"What do you know?!" Xie Yingrong was angry, "What does it matter if he goes to the capital or not?" Am I going to stop him? I wish he could go to Beijing! But before he leaves, I have to see him! How do I know when he's leaving? When will you come to our house to say goodbye?! ”

Shunxin gave Ruyi a look and motioned her to shut up. The two worked together to put on the coat and leather boots that Xie Yingrong had to go out on a snowy day, and went back to the room to change his shoes, added thick shoulders inlaid with leather, picked up an umbrella, and followed his girl out of the yard.

When they came to the upper room of the main courtyard, Wen was talking to Xie Mulin about Bandung's long trip: "...... It really scared me. On such a cold day, he is no better than those generals in the army, and he is outstanding in riding and shooting, how can he have so much courage to volunteer to accompany him to Beijing? Besides, he is neither an official nor famous, so what can he do if he enters Beijing? That is, to take the opportunity to go back to the Pingchang Marquis Mansion to visit relatives. According to me, he still has two more years of experience in Yanwangfu and learns more skills. When he has a serious errand and an official position, the prince knows how to make good use of people, knowing that he is capable, can he not reuse him? Why bother to travel in the winter and suffer this hardship? ”

Xie Mulin smiled and said, "The third brother-in-law must have a plan. My mother also said that he is a smart person, are you afraid that he will be stupid? Even if he can be stupid, there are still Wang Ye, Xiao Rui and Daddy. None of them stopped him, so it can be seen that they did not object to his trip to Beijing. Why should you worry about him? It's better to worry about whether his family will deliberately make it bad! ”

Wen's face showed hesitation, and when he caught a glimpse of Xie Yingrong entering the door, he couldn't help asking, "Sister Rong, did you hear the news and rushed over here?" Then I saw the big cloak with snowdrops on her body and the oil-paper umbrella that Shun Xin had just put away behind her, "Ah, it's snowing?" It's not down yet, and I thought it was just a cloudy day. ”

Xie Mulin hurriedly asked Ma Lu Yao's family: "Did the eldest brother and second brother go out to meet friends today?" Can you bring an umbrella when you go out? ”

Ma Lu Yao's family was busy: "The little guys have brought all the things." The second girl can rest assured, the two young masters went out in a carriage, and everything on the carriage is naturally complete, even the tea stove and ginger soup to keep out the cold! The two girls of Calamus and hosta also wrapped an extra bag of clothes for the two young masters, not afraid of colding them. ”

Wen and Xie Mulin both breathed a sigh of relief, and the former smiled and said: "These two girls are now more and more meticulous, and they act steadily, which is reassuring." She turned her head and motioned for Xie Yingrong to sit down, "You don't have to worry, Wan Long is going to enter Beijing with the adults who sacrificed the prisoners, and he is not going on the road alone." Although the road may be in a hurry, and the weather is not good, it is a rare opportunity to experience. Others have broken their heads, and they may not be able to squeeze in. It is very rare for him to have this blessing, and by the way, he can go back to his home to have a look, and pay a New Year's greeting to the old lady of Pingchang Hou, maybe he will directly spend a birthday in the Hou Mansion, which is better than him staying in Beiping. Anyway, when the New Year's holiday in Yanwangfu's mansion is over, he doesn't have to stay at home every day. ”

Xie Yingrong was a little unimpressed by Wen's words, and said in his heart If this is really a good thing, why did his mother say those words to the second sister Xie Mulin? It can be seen that this trip to Beijing is a chore, or the kind that has no reward - of course, as long as Wan Long can hug the thigh of the third prince, that is the biggest reward for his trip, even if he suffers a little more, what does it matter?

She just couldn't figure out what "sacrifice prisoner" meant? She hadn't heard of anything like this in her previous life?

Xie Mulin briefly explained to her, the main thing was that Kaipingwei captured the enemy's general, Wang, who was an important leader of the enemy's main battle faction and a big man with great power. If he falls into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the north will definitely be chaotic for many years, and the borders of the two countries will be even more peaceful!

Xie Yingrong thought to herself that there might not have been this one in her previous life, but she was in the back house and rarely heard of it. The Jiang family is a civil official, and it has nothing to do with Beiping, so naturally they don't care about this kind of topic. However, the big man of the enemy country fell into the hands of this dynasty, and the frontier will usher in a long period of peace, which is the reason for the decline of Yanwangfu in the future - anyway, there is no need to fight at the border, how can the new monarch allow Yanwangfu to monopolize such a large territory and still hold heavy troops? The current emperor may trust his younger brother, but the third prince of the new monarch does not have such a big belly! His mother's Xiao family is a military general, and the northern military power is such a big piece of fat, and if it is cheap, it will also be cheap for his own family!

Xie Yingrong didn't ask about the sacrifice of prisoners, but only asked Wen's: "Third Brother Wan is gone, when will he come back?" Did he go home to live in Beijing after he returned to Beijing? ”

Where did Wen know about such a thing: "This ...... The generals under the prince should be able to arrange it, right? Of course, it's almost the New Year, and Wan Long will definitely be allowed to go home for a few days, and he will not be allowed to pass through the house without entering. Besides, he has no official position, and this time he accompanied him to Beijing, just to let him see the world, and he will not arrange any important errands......"

Xie Yingrong hurriedly said: "If Third Brother Wan wants to celebrate the New Year in the capital, won't he have to wait until the spring of next year to return to Beiping?" For such a long time...... What day did he depart? Will you come to our house before you leave? ”

Wen smiled: "The day of departure is very urgent, just tomorrow morning. Although it was a bit hasty, it was extremely rare to be able to win this opportunity. I don't know how many people inside and outside Beiping City want to follow into Beijing, but they don't have this blessing! ”

As for whether Wan Long will come to Xie's house to say goodbye before leaving, Wen thinks it is no problem. Wan Long's house is next door, and he can't walk a few steps when he comes over, and he has always treated the Xie family with hospitality, so this bit of courtesy will still be exhausted.

Wen thought that he had guessed Xie Yingrong's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if he comes over at night, I will immediately send someone to call you, and I will definitely let you two meet and say goodbye." ”

Xie Yingrong was worried that the time for Bandung's departure was too urgent, and when he heard this, he calmed down a little, and thanked Wen sweetly. Xie Mulin watched from the sidelines, and was a little curious: Xie Yingrong had to see Wan Long, what was his special intention?
