Xie Hui went ashore to pass a message to Xiao Rui, and by the way, he also brought him a basket, which contained all kinds of homemade snacks and pickles from the Xie family's third room, and asked him to take them back to enjoy for himself, or give some to Aunt Li.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is Xiao Rui from Yanwangfu who came to Xie's house to find his friend Xie Huizhi, and then Xie Huizhi greeted his sisters and sent a basket of things to Xiao Rui as a favor. It's just a normal exchange of courtesies, and there's nothing suspicious.

Xiao Rui knew what Xie Mulin wanted to pass on from Xie Hui, took the basket specially sent by Xie Mulin, and reluctantly looked at the boat where Xie Mulin was, and couldn't get out under his feet no matter what.

It was Xie Huizhi who urged him in a low voice: "Second Brother Xiao, don't be stunned." In the future, we will have the opportunity to meet in Beiping. You came to the door as soon as possible to propose marriage and marry my second sister, you can still meet her every day, when the time comes, I am afraid that you will be bored to see her, where is the need to be like now, like a cowherd and a weaver girl? ”

Xiao Rui smiled bitterly: "If I am separated from her and know that it is rare to see each other on weekdays, even if I am concerned in my heart, I will not be so reluctant." But it was precisely because I knew that she was not far from me, and that I only needed to walk a few more steps to see her, that it became more and more difficult for me to bear the days of not being seen. You're right, if only I could marry her back sooner, but this kind of thing ...... It's not like I can do whatever I want......" He sighed heavily, thinking in his heart that it was better to go back and deal with the matter of the Cao family's ears and eyes, if he made some contributions, maybe the newly recognized father would be more willing to accept his invitation and try to persuade Xie Pu and Uncle Xie to settle his marriage with Xie Mulin as soon as possible?

Thinking like this, Xiao Rui suddenly felt that he had spirit, patted Xie Huizhi on the shoulder, and then took one last look at the window where Xie Mulin had just appeared, turned around and strode away.

Xie Huizhi scratched his hair, not understanding what Xiao Rui meant by what he said, but he didn't plan to think about it. There are few people on the dock now, and the place is open, and the wind is really cold. If he didn't return to the ship, he was afraid that he would be frozen.

He quickly returned to his boat, and before getting into the cabin to avoid the wind, he saw the fourth sister Xie Yingfen get off the boat in the second room and return to the boat where his grandmother and sisters lived.

Xie Mulin had just ordered someone to set the table, when he saw Xie Yingfen coming back, he hurriedly beckoned her to wash her hands with hot water and warm up with a hand stove.

Xie Yingfen took off her cloak under the girl's waiting, her face was still a little pale, and she was a little stiff in her movements, after washing hot water and drinking hot tea, the whole person seemed to come to life, sat at the dinner table, and let out a long breath.

When Xie Yinghui saw her like this, she glanced at her: "It's cold, right?" I didn't look at the sky outside, and ran to the second room every night. If you don't see your feet clearly one day, and you get on and off the boat and fall into the water, you know that you regret it! Do you really think that your body is very strong? Believe it or not, if you continue like this, one day you won't even be as good as the sick son of the fourth brother! ”

Xie Yingfen calmly took another sip of hot tea before saying, "I'll be a big sister and care about me." Thank you big sister for reminding me, I'll pay attention to it in the future. ”

"Who cares about you anymore?!" Xie Yinghui took a sip of her, turned her head and called Lu Qi to go to Old Lady Xie's cabin. She was so old that she refused to come out to eat with everyone in the big house, and wanted to have dinner in her warm cabin. Xie Yinghui is the eldest daughter, so she simply took over the task of delivering food, so as to share one or two for her second sister Xie Mulin, who is busy all day.

Xie Mulin smiled and watched Xie Yinghui leave, before he lowered his voice and said to Xie Yingfen: "I already know about Aunt Qin." Rest assured, someone will be watching her. If she did meet with some unidentified people here, someone would naturally check the identity of those people later. How to deal with it, someone has their own ideas, so we don't have to worry about it. ”

Xie Yingfen pursed her lips: "If someone can deal with those people, it will naturally be better." I only hate my aunt for not being well-behaved. It's not that she hasn't suffered losses in the past, and people didn't take her to heart at all, what kind of loyalty does she talk to people about?! Now that you have chosen the Xie family, what are you still nostalgic for the Cao family? The two ends of the first rat can't accommodate her at either end. She still complains all day long that the old lady refuses to give her decency, hoping to tell me and the fourth brother a prominent good family matter, but she doesn't want to think about it, who is willing to give her decency when she acts like this? Who will look up to our brother and sister?! ”

She put the teacup heavily on the table and snorted coldly, "I just went to the second room." The second uncle and grandmother promised the old lady of the Tao family earlier that they would help her inquire about the news of the old house in Xuzhou on the way north. The second uncle and grandmother have not forgotten this matter, but now our family is following the fleet of Yanwangfu, and it is impossible to stay in Xuzhou to deal with this matter, so we have to leave two family members to inquire locally, and then continue to travel with other merchant ships in a few days.

"After I heard about this from my second uncle and grandmother and Aunt Mei Jun, I paid attention. As soon as she heard that her aunt had gone to the shore, she didn't know who she had gone, so she went to ask Aunt Mei Jun, and she instructed the people who stayed behind to inquire about the news to help find out what the people in the places where her aunt went. If only we could find a way to get rid of all these people. As long as my aunt can't contact these people, she will naturally not have other thoughts. I didn't expect that the second sister already had a way to deal with it here, but it was more secure than my thoughts. ”

She also vaguely guessed that the eyes and ears of the Cao family were probably going to be handed over to the people of the Yan Wangfu to dispose of.

Xie Mulin didn't expect Xie Yingfen to go to the second room, so he smiled and said, "Although your method is simple and rude, the reason is reasonable." However, the second room may not be able to provoke the Cao family, so don't let them come forward. Yan Wangfu will have a way to deal with this kind of thing, let's just don't know. ”

Xie Yingfen obediently agreed. At this time, Xie Yinghui came back with Lu Qi, and brought Xie Yingrong with a straight face by the way, and the four sisters happened to sit around a table and had a simple and quiet dinner.

At the same time, Xiao Rui was also accompanying King Yan to dinner.

He had just ordered the military attache in charge of intelligence in the Yan Wangfu to send someone ashore to keep an eye on Aunt Ye Wanqin of the Xie family, but because he happened to meet King Yan when he turned back, King Yan also knew about it. King Yan didn't ask much, but only handed over the matter to him, ordered the person in charge of the intelligence department to obey his instructions, and then made him the shopkeeper, and then asked him to accompany him to dinner.

Xiao Rui also ordered Xie Huizhi to bring the pickles and snacks on a small plate and sent them to the dining table.

When King Yan saw it, he smiled: "Xie Shenzheng's family occasionally respects a few small dishes to the palace, and the princess likes it very much, and she also asked Mrs. Xie for a recipe to pickle herself." When you get to the palace, you will know when you taste it. You have just been to the Xie family's boat, have you met the Xie family? Are you going to meet your sweetheart, or are you going to meet your sweetheart under the guise of visiting friends? ”

Xiao Rui's face suddenly involuntarily appeared two flushes.
