Chapter 610: Discussion
Although Xie Mulin had already approved Gu Niangzi's suggestion in his heart, he did not intend to say his decision immediately.
Because Xiao Rui is on her way to Beiping, if she also goes to Beiping later, will the people of the Xiao family misunderstand that she is chasing him? Although she will indeed go to Beiping, she does not intend to leave the impression of chasing Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui just confessed to her, saying that he wanted to pursue her, and almost everyone under his command knew about it, and he could help inquire about the inside story of her father's attack in such detail. If Gu Niangzi knew that she was going to Beiping later, God knows what rumors would spread in their circle?
Does she lose face? She hasn't agreed to marry Xiao Rui yet!
Xie Mulin secretly made up his mind, so he smiled and said to Gu Niangzi: "Thank you for your advice, I will discuss it with my family." ”
Gu Niangzi was a little regretful that she couldn't get Xie Mulin's promise on the spot, but thinking about it, the girl they liked should of course be a cautious and reserved character, if she casually listened to the words of other people, wouldn't it seem that she was very unassertive?
So Gu Niangzi continued to say attentively: "If Miss Xie Er plans to go north in the near future, whether it is to send someone back to Huyin's hometown to deliver a letter, or to make accommodation arrangements on the way to Beiping, our family can help." Our master has just walked this road, and we are all very familiar with the situation along the road. Although there are also business guys in the house, I heard that they have always been accustomed to taking the waterway. I don't know if the Northern Canal has thawed or not, and it may not be able to pass smoothly. Our family is much more familiar with land routes, and we will definitely be able to help Miss Xie Er. ”
Xie Mulin could only thank him. As for whether you really ask for help, you will have to wait until later. But she felt that with the traffic conditions of this era and Wen's physical condition, their trip to the north was limited. It is estimated that by the time they reach the north, the canal will be passable without hindrance, right?
The ancient lady sat down for a while, said a few words with her, and then left. She also had to go back to the General Mansion of the Pillar State to restore her life. In addition, she proposed to Xie Mulin to go north to take care of the injured, so she had to say hello to her own people and get ready. If Xie Mulin and her family didn't plan to go north, they would at most have made some preparations in vain, and the problem would not be big, and they could send the supplies of their own young master Xiao Rui over by the way; But if Xie Mulin wants to borrow their family's channels, they have to provide fast and reliable services immediately, so that they can earn a face for their master!
After sending off Gu Niangzi, Xie Mulin didn't go back to his room, so he sat directly in the flower hall and read the rest of Xiao Rui's letter.
He once said that when he was studying with the three princes in the palace, because his talent was too good and he read better than the princes, he was suppressed by jealousy, which seems not to be a lie. In the letter, he briefly described the scenery he saw along the way to the north, as well as his feelings at the time, but Liao Liao's few words were already very literary, giving people the impression that they could see the snowy regions of the north and the atmosphere of early spring with their own eyes. Xie Mulin sighed secretly in his heart, it was a pity, with such a level of education, he could only get ahead by taking the path of a military general.
As for the flirtatious love words that popped up between the lines from time to time, such as "I think of you when I see a scene" or "This scene is so beautiful, I can't wait to appreciate it with Qing", Xie Mulin can already blushed a little calmly and ignore it. There's no way, young people are writing love letters for the first time, and the technique is still quite jerky, and it's good to have this level. She was touched by his intentions and didn't plan to be too picky. He provided her with such important news in time this time, and she was grateful, and secretly planned to write him a reply, saying a few kind words in the letter, and giving him a little sweetness.
Why don't you bring another gift and thank him for his help? But what kind of gift is appropriate?
Xie Mulin is still worried there, Xie Yinghui and Xie Xianzhi have already arrived together.
Xie Mulin had been excited about the letter, and when he didn't watch out for Cuijiao's go to pick up the first-class red envelope, he had already spread the news that his old man Xie Pu was only slightly injured and was fine. This is also inevitable, her parents Zhao Fengnian and his wife went to Beiping with Xie Pu to take office, and Zhao Fengnian is still Xie Pu's confidant. If Xie Pu encounters danger outside of her home, her father will be implicated if he follows his master. Now that she knows that the old man is safe and sound, and has been rescued in time, she will naturally breathe a sigh of relief. Xie Mulin didn't specifically instruct, so she couldn't help but show her tone. However, she was quite cautious and did not tell the identity of the ancient lady, but only said that she was a well-informed acquaintance.
The news quickly spread to Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui, and as soon as they heard that the guests had left, they immediately rushed over and wanted to ask for an understanding.
Xie Mulin quickly and quietly put away the second half of the letter, leaving only the part in front that seemed to be fine, and generously showed it to his brothers and sisters: "It is the second son of Jin Shanwei who borrowed from the old mansion when he was in Huyin's hometown before, and he opened a shop in partnership with his third brother. At the end of the first month, he received an order to go to Beiping, and sent someone to deal with it in advance, and received a letter from the man on the way, and learned that his father had been attacked, and he was afraid that we would not know about it at home, so he immediately wrote to inform him. Daddy suffered a little skin trauma on his left arm, his foot crutches, and his movement was a little inconvenient, but it was not a big problem, and he was still working as usual. ”
Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui got together and read the letter, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Xianzhi smiled and said, "Now we can rest assured." It was also luck, the dead soldier sent out by Fang Wenshan didn't even look at the occasion, so he made a move, and he met His Royal Highness King Yan nearby, and rushed to rescue him in time, otherwise his father didn't know what would happen. ”
Xie Yinghui sneered: "Fang Wenshan is a vicious idiot! So the people under him are not smart! This is also because God has eyes, and he can't see the wicked harming the good people, so he let his father become auspicious when he is in trouble, and turn evil into good fortune. Then she showed a worried expression again, "But my father doesn't care about himself too much." Even if the injury is slight, it is still an injury, and you have to recuperate for a few days! What are you doing in such a busy office? Could it be that the political envoy of Beiping is a strict person? ”
Xie Mulin put forward the suggestion that the family send someone to Beiping to take care of Xie Pu: "My mother and I originally planned to go north after the beginning of spring, but now the trip has been postponed a little, but it has not been canceled. When we get back to our hometown, we will immediately pack our bags and prepare to go north. Big brother and sister, do you want to go together? ”
Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui thought about it, and the latter hesitated: "Fang Wenshan just made a fool of himself in Beiping, if I go, he harassed our family under the sign of his mother, wouldn't I have to lose face?" Then it's better to hide in the countryside for two years! Anyway, my father wasn't seriously injured. She felt that she was the eldest daughter and had the responsibility to take care of her younger siblings, so she should stay at home.
Xie Xianzhi felt that he needed to accompany Wen and Xie Mulin to the north: "The second brother is going to take the exam, and he can't spare time, the third brother is still young, and the fourth brother is weak." I'm the eldest brother, and I deserve to go this way. ”
Xie Mulin smiled when he heard this: "That's good." I'll go to the shopkeeper Mao to discuss. On the boat side, you have to arrange it in advance. ”
She was about to get up, but was stopped by Xie Xianzhi: "Second sister, slow down." On the side of the shopkeeper Mao, send someone to deliver a letter and invite someone over. Xiao Ergongzi's letter came in time, and I am very grateful in my heart, but ...... Why did he write to your second sister? Why didn't you write it to me or my second or third brother? ”
Shermulin froze.
