Old Mrs. Xie was silent for a long time, thinking seriously about something. Xie Yingrong didn't urge her, but stood beside her very patiently, slowly fanning for her.

After a while, Mrs. Xie asked, "What do you think...... Where do I go to avoid it? Where can I live outside the city? The Zhuangzi in the family are all robbed by the Cao family, but his mother has a little Zhuangzi to marry, in fact, your father bought her as a private house, and now she is called by her own person, I am not good at interfering. Besides, that place also produces some grain, melons and vegetables, and there is no house that can live in a serious person. I can't live in a village house, can I? It's better to avoid the back street of Cheng'en Temple, I remember that the lease of the small house there has not yet arrived, and it will still be empty there. ”

Xie Yingrong hurriedly said: "The old lady used to live there, and it is not a secret, there are many people who know it." In the past, others were worried that the place was close to the old interior, and they didn't dare to provoke it easily, but this time we provoked the real dignitaries, as well as the queen mother and concubine in the palace. If they really plan to attack us, there is nothing to be taboo at all, and even if they let people know, no one will dare to say anything! ”

Mrs. Xie flattened her mouth: "Then it's a big deal for us to find another house and move over, quietly, don't let people know, this is not okay?" I don't want to live in the countryside anyway! ”

Xie Yingrong originally wanted to suggest that she go back to her hometown with the Wen family, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed again. Think about the lies she told to Mrs. Xie, the Wen family and several brothers and sisters all know the truth, what if the two sides meet, the words are rushed, the words on both sides are not right, and they expose her? If it is far away from Jinling City, Old Lady Xie may not be able to come back. But if she is near the docks, the other party will be angry and want to turn back to the city, where can she flee to? Then all the effort she spent will be in vain!

Anyway, her purpose was just to send Old Lady Xie out of Jinling City, not that she couldn't compromise.

Thinking so, Xie Yingrong changed his words: "In the middle of summer, there are many dignitaries and nobles in Jinling City who go out of the city to escape the summer, and there are mountains, forests and rivers outside the city, which are not only cooler than in the city, but also have many good houses to rent. We don't have to pick a place where dignitaries gather, so we don't have to leak our whereabouts, we just need to choose a quiet and remote valley, rent a different business, and let the old lady quietly take a car over and live incognito for a few months, and wait for the weather to cool down. As long as no one in Beijing mentions the incident of Zhoushan again, the old lady can come back with confidence! ”

Old Lady Xie frowned and did not speak.

Xie Yingrong persuaded again: "Old lady, don't worry, Sister Pearl and the two mothers are old people who have served you for many years, and they will definitely take good care of you." Living in seclusion in the mountains and forests is certainly boring, but as long as you can keep your life safe and endure for a few months, it is worth it! As for silver, we still have a lot of things in our house now, just take two antiques out and exchange them for silver, which is enough for the old lady to spend, so you don't have to worry about this. Wait until my granddaughter inquires and the city is calm......"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Xie interrupted her in surprise: "What did you say?" Won't you follow me out of town?! As he spoke, he looked at his third granddaughter with suspicion.

Xie Yingrong didn't panic, and said with a smile: "Of course, the granddaughter wants to stay by the old lady's side and serve all the time, but the old lady is hiding outside, so she needs to leave someone in the city to find out the news, right?" Otherwise, how can you know when you can come back and when you can't go near the capital? ”

Old Lady Xie snorted: "Ah He and Ah Jiang are all shrewd and capable people, which one of them can't stay to inquire about the news?" Besides, Cai Laotian also has some skills, and there is a shopkeeper Mao outside, are you afraid that I have no one to call? ”

Xie Yingrong had already thought about how to deal with this kind of problem: "But the old lady ...... Do you want to tell Cai Laotian and Shopkeeper Mao the truth, and let them inquire about the news of those nobles? Not to mention that subordinates like them, whether there is a way to get close to the powerful people, even if they can help, this kind of ugly thing related to the emperor's relatives and relatives...... How can you just tell people to go? If you really say it, I'm afraid that those people will not keep their mouths tight and leak out. When the time comes, even if the nobles didn't take us seriously, they will come to the door to investigate! ”

Old Mrs. Xie was taken aback and stopped talking for a while.

Xie Yingrong sighed heavily: "Actually, I also thought about whether to ask my eldest sister to help inquire about the news, she knows many dignitaries and nobles, and in this kind of matter, I am afraid that there is more way than me." But the eldest sister didn't know about it, if she really knew, the people around her would naturally know. Those girls and mothers-in-law, maybe any of them will collude with the Cao family in private, in case of false news, or take the opportunity to tell the truth, and follow the order of the Cao family to disadvantage the old lady, the new and old hatreds will be avenged together......"

"Can't tell her!" Mrs. Xie quickly made up her mind, "Sister Hui is close to the Cao family, and she is capricious, so it's useless to tell her about this kind of thing." Originally, she could still help inquire about the news, but now that Pingnanbo's Mansion is bad, she can only close the door and guard her filial piety, Sister Hui and her mother turned their faces with her mother's family again, and eloped with the wild man, but anyone who wants to save face will not welcome Sister Hui to come to the door. She can't help us at all, so it's better not to ask her people to interfere. ”

Old Mrs. Xie thought for a while, sighed, and said: "That's it, you tell the reliable people below to go outside the city to inquire about a remote and clean and quiet summer village, it is best to be closer to the river, there is a wharf to open to the boat, I will move over and live for a few days, and see the situation first." You stay in the city, quietly keep the news of the accident for me, and send someone to deliver me as soon as there is important news! If there is real danger, I will escape in a boat, and it will be too late. ”

Xie Yingrong hurriedly responded, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and couldn't help but want to take another step forward: "My father once wrote a letter to the old man over there in Songjiang, preparing that when the old lady moved back to live, someone could take care of it. The old lady wants to go to Songjiang to relax? ”

Old Mrs. Xie said unhappily: "What are you doing so far away from Songjiang?" In the summer, it was just as hot over there, and it was too far away from Jinling City. If I want to come back, I will have to endure ten days and a half on the ship, so why bother? She glanced at her third granddaughter with suspicion again, "Besides, you and Sister Hui are two little girls who stay at home, and you don't even have a serious elder, it's too unbelievable." It's okay to hide this from outsiders, but if people know, God knows what gossip to say? This is not the rule that a high-ranking official like us should have. ”

Xie Yingrong secretly choked in her heart, but in order not to arouse the suspicion of the other party, she still smiled softly: "The old lady is right." My granddaughter is reluctant to let you get too far away, and if something happens, it's not good to ask you for advice in time. ”

Old Lady Xie nodded with satisfaction: "Exactly." Besides, it's not convenient for you to go out to explore, except for the occasional trip back to the city to explore the rumors, you usually have to live with me, so that people outside don't chew their tongues. You don't have to worry about your eldest sister, her mother's reputation has long been bad, she can't marry anyone except Pingnanbofu, don't care about these, but you still have a great future! ”

Xie Yingrong's facial features were almost distorted, and it was not easy to maintain the smile on his face: "The old lady is right." ”

She swallowed her saliva and took a deep breath before filling in a loophole: "Old lady, your granddaughter will take care of this for you, but you also have to remember that you can't tell others the truth." You can't mention the incident of Zhoushan to anyone, not even the girl and the woman around you. You have to pretend that you don't know anything about the rumors outside, and you have to pretend to be stupid when anyone talks about you. We can't arouse anyone's suspicion, otherwise disaster will happen at any time! ”

Mrs. Xie touched her little heart: "Do you still need to remind you of this?" I'm in my own hands! ”
