Xie Mulin discussed with the two brothers the specific arrangements for going to the old mansion tomorrow, and was about to say goodbye and leave, but before leaving, he suddenly remembered something.

She asked Xie Xianzhi: "The eldest sister said in the letter that the candidate for the crown princess has been decided, and it won't be long before the prince will get married." So who is this candidate? ”

Could it be that important events happened one after another, Xie Yingrong's homecoming, Zhao Ying's scandal with the third prince leaked, Huyin's flood epidemic, and the recent situation of Cao's and Fang Wenshan, etc., occupied all Xie Yinghui's attention, so she just hurriedly brushed it over, and forgot to tell her family the results of the East Palace's concubine selection?

Xie Xianzhi also woke up like a dream, and hurriedly read the two letters sent by Xie Yinghui from the beginning, and found that there was indeed no mention of the candidate for the crown princess, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Xie Jinzhi: "This time, we sent someone from home to send a letter back to Beijing, and the eldest sister's reply was also brought back by that person. The crown princess has decided on such a big thing, he may hear about it in the capital, why don't you call it over and ask? ”

Xie Xianzhi hurriedly called someone over. The man really heard some rumors: "It's the eldest lady of Mrs. Xue's family, I heard that she also came to our house as a guest in the past, but the eldest lady didn't get along with her, and she knew that the crown princess was determined to be her, and she lost her temper." Miss Onyx and Miss Luqi warned our subordinates one after another, telling us not to mention the matter of the eldest lady of the Xue family in front of the eldest lady. ”

The eldest lady of Mrs. Xue's family? Xie Mulin mobilized the memory in Xie Yingzhen's mind, and vaguely remembered a round and beautiful face. That Miss Xue can also be called both talented and beautiful, but her talent, knowledge, temperament, etc., are a little mediocre, not a little worse than Zhao Ying, who once had a relationship.

Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally choose such a person?

Xie Mulin is no longer ignorant of the big names in the court, and soon remembers the background of the Xue family.

Miss Xue's father is a six-rank petty official, and her mother is the daughter of the prefect, so she is not a big person, but her grandfather, Mrs. Xue, is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, ranked as the Third Duke, and there is no one with more qualifications than him among the high-ranking officials of the Dynasty. However, in addition to his deep qualifications, he doesn't seem to have any special strengths, and I haven't heard that he has any particularly outstanding merits, or extraordinary talents, but he is very popular, and he can talk to anyone, no matter which one is Cao, Lin, or Xiao, he can get along with each other amicably, and he is a panacea-type minister.

The battle for the succession in the last years of Chengde and Tianchang is very fierce, and there are countless important ministers who have been involved in the destruction of the family. He was able to survive every court turmoil, and survived countless important ministers who were more famous and talented than him, and he still stands to this day, and his dignity is not comparable to ordinary people.

However, such a person, with the temperament of the current emperor, is limited in his attention. Therefore, Old Lady Xue has a great reputation in the court, but in fact he does not have much real power, and he does not have much prestige in the scholars and Qingliu circles. The crown prince married his granddaughter, and the decency is decent enough, but it doesn't seem to be very affordable, right?

Xie Xianzhi rewarded the family who sent the letter with 200 yuan, and let them retreat, before he sighed and sat down at the table: "I understand why the eldest sister didn't mention the candidate for the crown princess in the family letter." ”

"Huh?" Xie Mulin came back from his contemplation and looked at him puzzled, "Is there any special reason for this?" Didn't the big sister forget it because there was too much going on? ”

Xie Xianzhi smiled bitterly: "She didn't write this letter in one day, even if she forgets it occasionally, can she still remember it later?" ”

Xie Jinzhi thought thoughtfully: "So...... I did hear a little rumor during the Chinese New Year, it seems that the Chengenhou Mansion intends to be a matchmaker and tell the eldest brother about a family matter, but my father is not very happy, but it is not easy to refuse, so he ......" He looked at Xie Mulin, "On the day of the old lady's birthday banquet, I still invited the daughter of the Xue family to come to the door as a guest." But something happened to our family that day, and the fourth girl of his family fell into the water with his second sister, and the Xue family never went to the door again, so our family naturally won't be bored. ”

Xie Mulin suddenly remembered that on the day she crossed over, it was actually Cheng Li, the son of the Marquis of Ningguo, and Cheng Baochuan, the daughter of Cheng Wang, because Cao Wenheng, who was also interested in Pingnanbo's Mansion, had a conflict with Xie Yinghui, who was concerned about his cousin at the time, and overturned the neighboring cruise ship.

Later, Xie Yingrong ignored the fact that her sister Xie Yingzhen, who had always had a good relationship, was still struggling in the water, and rescued Xue Si girl first, and then sent people all the way to his yard. After Xie Mulin became Xie Yingzhen, he used this incident as a reason to expose Xie Yingrong's mask and end this plastic sisterhood.

When Xie Mulin was still pretending to be unconscious on the couch in the small warehouse, he overheard Xie Yingrong talking to himself, as if mentioning that Miss Xue Si had been kind to her in her previous life, so after she was reborn, she immediately ran to save people to repay her kindness, and she didn't even care if her sister was still in the water......

Tut......

Xie Mulin tugged at the corners of his mouth, not planning to think about Xie Yingrong anymore. However, it can also be inferred from her self-talk that Miss Xue Si should not have suffered anything in her previous life, so she can still help Xie Yingrong, but Xie Yingrong didn't listen, so she regretted it before she died......

Xie Xianzhi didn't know what his sister was thinking, so he only said to Xie Jinzhi with a wry smile: "The eldest uncle and the second uncle and second aunt all want to promote this marriage, and there was no talk of the prince choosing a concubine at that time, so I think that the Chengenhou Mansion and the Cao family's second room are not aware of the calculations of the third uncle and his wife in Pingnan Bofu, so they will have this kind of plan." My father didn't like the style of the Xue family, and told me that although Mrs. Xue was an old minister of the Three Dynasties, his descendants were very mediocre, and it was estimated that the successor was weak, and marrying his family would not be good for my future. At that time, I also told my mother what my father said, but my mother didn't say anything, and still invited the Xue family to be a guest......"

I'm afraid that the Cao family knew at that time that after the Xie family was defeated, the Xue family would not have the idea of marriage, and this matter would naturally be over, so they didn't say anything. She has a long history of the marriage of a pair of children, and it seems that Pingnanbo's mansion has vaguely hinted that she will marry a concubine to Xie Xianzhi to ensure that he will be rich and comfortable for the rest of his life......

Xie Mulin didn't say much, and said: "The eldest sister may not have mentioned it in the family letter because of this old matter, and she was afraid that the eldest brother would be embarrassed." I think it's mainly because she had a fight with Cheng Baochuan at the beginning, which caused me and Miss Xue to fall into the water, and I was ashamed to mention the Xue family. I remember that Miss Xue Si's parents died, and now she lives dependent on her grandparents and grandmothers, as if she is not very compatible with her sisters, and she is often looked down upon by them. The eldest lady Xue, who was designated as the crown princess, since she is the eldest sister, can still sit back and watch this kind of thing happen, it can be seen that her temperament is not very good. She and her eldest sister are both famous ladies in Beijing, and they have had many opportunities to meet in the past, and it is not surprising that they have different temperaments with each other. Now that Miss Xue has become the crown princess, when the eldest sister sees her in the future, she will be three points shorter, and she will be very unhappy, right? ”

Xie Xianzhi laughed when he heard this: "In this way, it is understandable that the eldest sister is reluctant to mention that Miss Xue wants to become the crown princess in the family letter." ”

Xie Mulin asked him with some curiosity: "Is this Miss Xue very beautiful?" Her family is not particularly powerful and famous, how could the prince choose her to be the crown princess? ”

This question was a little difficult for Xie Xianzhi: "I don't know, I haven't seen her." But the prince will choose her as the concubine, presumably she has her benefits, right? This matter has nothing to do with us. ”

They still cleaned up their mood and helped Xie Yinghui and Ma Yurong talk first.
