Chapter 787: Abnormality
Xie Mulin received Xiao Rui's letter and was relieved to learn that Aunt Li was out of danger.
Xiao Rui's letter was sent through the shopkeeper of Beirui Hall along with a large box of plasters, probably considering the relationship that might fall into the hands of others halfway, he didn't go into too much detail, but just hinted at it, and mentioned that he would leave Beijing with Aunt Li with King Yan, and talk about it in detail at that time.
Although Xie Mulin didn't know how he solved the trouble, it was a matter of his life history, and she didn't really want to get to the bottom of it. Anyway, when we meet again in a few days, he will always tell her, so she doesn't need to be in a hurry.
On the Xie family's brother and sister's side, the luggage has been packed, and only the necessities of life are left, but they can be packed up within an hour at any time, and then loaded into the car and left. Xie Xianzhi had already sent a letter to Xiaozhuang to confirm the time of the rendezvous, so he discussed with Xie Mulin, whether to go to Xiaozhuang in advance? It's just that Xie Mulin considered that Xiao Zhuangzi's house was limited and might not be able to accommodate so many people, and even if he squeezed in, it might not be too comfortable, so after asking about the date of departure, he still decided to stay in the city and leave early in the morning on the day of departure. However, most of the luggage can be transported to the small village dock for loading on the ship first, and some servants can also go first. When the time comes, it will be more convenient for the brother and sister to go to the docks.
Xie Yingfen asked her brother and sister to take her aunt Wanqin and younger brother Xie Hanzhi to Xiaozhuang first, the reason is: "The fourth brother is not in good health, so he can't get up too early in the morning, otherwise he will be unenergetic that day." Instead of telling him to get up early, it is better to let him go to Xiaozhuang first. If you don't have good spirits, you will be more likely to get seasick when you take a boat! ”
Her reason was very pragmatic, and Xie Mulin agreed. Anyway, no matter how few houses there are in Xiaozhuang, they can live with their mother and son and several close attendants.
Wanqin was unexpectedly not very happy, she said with a struggling expression: "Just let the fourth young master go to bed early the day before." Go to live in Xiaozhuang, they are all cottages, I don't know if they are clean, and the bedding they use is far inferior to that at home, and the fourth young master will not be used to it. ”
But Xie Yingfen was very persistent, Xie Hanzhi secretly glanced at his biological mother a few times, and also stood on his sister's side. Wanqin's objection was not worth mentioning at all for Xie Mulin, so this matter was done according to Xie Yingfen's wishes.
Aunt Dajin really wanted to go to Xiaozhuang first, but Xie Yingrong insisted on staying in the Pearl Bridge Mansion. She was still waiting for Miss Bian's letter. Although she has lost the opportunity to participate in two important banquets, she can still use Miss Bian's letter to listen to the news of the Wan family. She was full of resentment towards the Bian family, but she still had to behave kindly and friendly, as if she had no scheming at all. She was unwilling to leave the capital without doing anything, and went to Beiping to accept her mediocre future, and was still making her last struggle. Aunt Dajin was heartbroken for such a daughter, and she could only stay with her.
Mrs. Xie insisted on staying in her "own" mansion until the last moment before departure. Since she came to the capital, she subconsciously regarded Xiaozhuang as the "territory" of the Song family in the second room, and her "territory" was the Xie family's mansion in Pearl Bridge. She didn't want to go to the Song family's "territory" to see the other party's face!
Xie Xianzhi tried to persuade her to live in Xiaozhuang in advance, so that she could be more calm when she set off, otherwise with her slow and tengsy style of putting on a shelf, it was very likely that she would be delayed on the day of departure.
But Mrs. Xie just didn't agree.
Xie Mulin in turn persuaded Xie Xianzhi: "Since the old lady has made up her mind, the eldest brother can let her go." Anyway, the day and time of departure have already been set. This time, we are going north with His Royal Highness King Yan, and our fleet is going to follow the fleet of King Yan's Mansion, and many things are not up to our own decision. If the old lady loses her temper and falls behind, we will not be able to accommodate her old man. Because His Royal Highness King Yan clearly ordered our family to keep up, we had to leave the old lady in the capital at that time, and our brother and sister went north with our grandmother. But fortunately, although this mansion is deserted, there are fewer people waiting, and it is not enough to provide the old lady with three meals a day. It's a big deal, let's send someone to transport the old lady's luggage back halfway, and then send her old man back to her hometown to be raised. Presumably the people will take care of her for us. ”
Old Mrs. Xie was listening to the hearing, how could she be willing to return to the Xie family? Even if there is no Song family, the clansmen who are prejudiced against her in the sect and the side branch are also very difficult, so she doesn't want to go back and be angry. She is going to Beiping to be a beautiful old feudal monarch! We must not let the Song family steal her limelight!
She immediately said, "I'm not going to hold you back!" On the same day, I was able to catch the departure time! Who are you and I? Can't you tell the difference between the important and the heavy?! ”
The pearls, Mrs. He and Mrs. Jiang on the side also said that they would ensure that Mrs. Xie was ready to go out in time that day, and would definitely not delay everyone's trip - just kidding, if Mrs. Xie couldn't keep up with the fleet of Yanwangfu, wouldn't they have to stay? Life in the capital may be comfortable and comfortable, but the whole family is in Beiping, leaving only one old lady here, no matter how comfortable and comfortable life is, there is no guarantee!
Anyway, if Mrs. Xie can make such a guarantee, Xie Xianzhi can also breathe a sigh of relief. When he and his second sister Xie Mulin left Jin Xuantang, they also whispered praise to her for doing a good job: "If it weren't for the second sister's trick to frighten the old lady, I'm afraid that her old man would really slow down everyone's schedule by then!" ”
Xie Mulin looked at Xie Xian amusedly: "Yo, I didn't expect the eldest brother to know the radical method?" I thought you wouldn't hear it. ”
Xie Xianzhi couldn't laugh or cry: "Second sister, don't take the eldest brother as a fool, I'm just a little stupid at reading, but I'm really not a fool!" ”
While the brother and sister were talking, they saw Wanqin with a girl, holding something in her hand, walking towards Jin Xuantang staggeringly, and when she saw them, she hurriedly saluted.
Xie Xianzhi and Xie Mulin stopped and saluted, and then saw Wanqin continue to Jinxuan Hall.
Xie Mulin whispered to Xie Xianzhi: "It's really strange, Aunt Qin is not busy packing her luggage at this time, and she still has time to come to the old lady to pay her respects?" She was also very strange when she was in the hall just now, obviously she has always paid attention to the health of the fourth brother, and she would object to the fourth sister and the fourth brother moving to Xiaozhuang in advance. Even if you think that the cottage in the village is simple, it's a big deal to get on the boat in advance. We have all lived on the ship for so long, and everything is fully equipped, not much worse than at home. Besides, no matter how simple Xiaozhuang is, Grandmother and Aunt Mei Jun have lived there for so long, and they have already cleaned up properly, how bad can the conditions be? Grandmother, Aunt Mei Jun, and the Yang family brothers and sisters can all bear it, but can't the fourth brother bear it? ”
Xie Xianzhi hesitated: "Your eldest sister went to Zhuangzi first, these days I have been busy seeing old friends and going to say goodbye to old acquaintances, so there are not many times when I am at home, and some things may be negligent...... Jiang Pu told me yesterday that Aunt Qin's family seemed to have come to her twice, and her brother also came from the shop to meet her, and the sister and brother quarreled, as if it was for the family's business. Aunt Qin wants to stay in the capital for a little longer, shouldn't it have anything to do with this? ”
Xie Mulin frowned: "There is such a thing?" Could it be that the Cao family wants to use her to do something?! ”
