Of course, the people from the Marquis of Ning Guo's Mansion did not come to find Xie Yinghui to be unlucky.

Xie Mulin met with the mother-in-law sent by the Marquis of Ning Guo's Mansion in the flower hall. According to her, she is the person who waits in front of Grandma Cheng, and she can be regarded as a decent housekeeper. Since the Hou Mansion heard the news that the Xie family brothers and sisters were about to leave Beijing from the Chengen Hou Mansion yesterday, their grandmother sent her to send Cheng Yi to Miss Xie San. Xie Yingrong, the third girl, once gave Cheng Du, the son of Grandma Cheng, a life-saving gift, so there must be no lack of etiquette in any case.

Xie Mulin only felt that there was no mouth. What did Cheng Du's mother think in her heart? Could it be that she didn't know what Xie Yingrong had for Cheng Du? While identifying Zuo Siyun, the candidate for daughter-in-law, he also showed favor to Xie Yingrong one after another, didn't this make Xie Yingrong, who was already dead, delusional again? Even if it is to thank his son for saving his life, the previous thank you gift is rich enough, so why bother to send any Cheng Yi again?

Xie Mulin glanced at the silver ingots in the small box sent by the other party, and estimated that it was about thirty taels. As the travel fee from Jinling City to Huyin County, it is naturally more than enough, but with the previous one hundred taels of gold as the base, Xie Yingrong really does not lack the thirty taels of silver.

There is another point that makes Xie Mulin feel a little strange. The relationship between Ning Guohou Mansion and Cheng Enhou should be Ning Guohou's wife and the second room, right? Ning Guohou and Changfang should have accompanied Cheng Du out of the city to recuperate. If the people in the second room got the news from the Chengenhou Mansion, how did the rumor reach the ears of the people in the long room? And the news that only came out yesterday, how could Grandma Cheng, who was in Zhuangzi outside the city, react so quickly and sent someone to send Cheng Yi the next day?

Helplessly, the mother-in-law who sent the things had a very tight mouth, and only smiled and said polite and kind words, without revealing the whereabouts of her master. Fortunately, Xie Mulin was careful, and he could vaguely guess from her words that Ning Guohou or Changfang Yimai did not seem to have completely lost the Hou Mansion to Mrs. Ning Guohou and everyone in the second room, and they also left their eyes and ears, so as soon as there was news from the second room, they could quickly know it outside the city.

Okay, if Ning Guohou and his eldest son and eldest grandson really don't have any skills, how can they compete with Mrs. Ning Guohou and the second room? This kind of thing has nothing to do with the Xie family. After Xie Mulin had a guess, he didn't think much about it, politely accepted Cheng Yi, and politely sent the person away.

The mother-in-law didn't mention that she wanted to see her little master's life-saving benefactor with her own eyes, and Xie Mulin didn't mention that her third sister would come to meet the outsiders, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding between them.

After sending the people away, Xie Mulin directly sent the box and a few horses with the accompanying materials to Jin Xuantang, handed it to Aunt Da Jin, and told her who sent it.

Aunt Dajin was a little surprised, and asked hesitantly: "Second girl, what do you think...... What does the grandmother of Ning Guohou Mansion mean? Could it be her...... She thinks our three girls are not bad? ”

Xie Mulin caught a glimpse of Xie Yingrong's face with some excitement leaning at the door and secretly looking into the courtyard, and knew that she was probably going to be tempted again.

So Xie Mulin smiled nonchalantly: "Auntie, don't think about it, it's just a courtesy." Last time, Ning Guohou Mansion sent such a generous thank you gift to the third sister, didn't I stare at the third sister and write a reply, thanking their family for their kindness, and a few more modest words? Grandma Cheng probably didn't think it was rude to see the third sister behaving in her actions, so she was polite to us.

"Isn't it thirty taels of silver and four horses? It is estimated that it is enough for the third sister to spend on the way back to her hometown, and she will make a few more spring clothes. Is this a rare gift? It's a normal Cheng Yi. In the past, when our family still had dealings with the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, the greeting gifts or ordinary festival gifts that the eldest brother and sister got from Grandma Cheng or Grandma Cheng every year were about the same number, right? This is just a meaning for the Hou Mansion. ”

Aunt Dajin smiled dryly: "Also, people are dignified and generous, this bit of silver is nothing to them." But it has exceeded her monthly money from the previous year.

Xie Yingrong grabbed the door frame tightly with her fingers by the door, remembering the post she was guided by Xie Mulin to write that day, and asked faintly: "The second sister asked me to write a post at that time, and it was also on purpose, right?" You took advantage of my exhaustion and had no time to think about it, so you coaxed me into using very polite and foreign words. That's why Grandma Cheng mistakenly thought that I didn't want to be close to her......"

Xie Mulin turned his head to look at her with a smile: "Where did the third sister go?" Grandma Cheng obviously mistakenly thinks that you are a good girl who knows how to be polite! Although she can't be her daughter-in-law, she is not a who can't get along. Our Xie family has an enmity with the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, so it is impossible to have too many overt contacts with them. But in the future, if you get married and become the grandmother of the family, if you have the opportunity to return to the capital, with this friendship now, you can climb back to the grandmother of the Hou Mansion and be a gentleman's friend, it is estimated that it will be no problem.

"Aren't you on good terms with the Bian family? Isn't Grandma Cheng Mrs. Bian's daughter? How could she give her mother's life-saving benefactor a little face. I left you a great way back, and I didn't let you destroy your good image in the eyes of the Bian family, you should thank me! ”

Xie Yingrong's eyes turned red all of a sudden. What's the use of such a backtrack? She can't follow the light, do you want her to continue to watch Cheng Du's scenery?! She can't wait for him to be unlucky as soon as possible, and the whole family will die!

Xie Yingrong wanted to say a few words at Xie Mulin, but she remembered her previous warning, and didn't dare to commit a light offense, so she could only cover her mouth tightly with her hand, turn around and throw herself on the bed to cry.

Xie Mulin didn't pay attention to it, and said to Aunt Dajin: "Auntie can help the third sister clean up her things?" She doesn't have anyone to wait for now, and she doesn't do it herself, and if she leaves something behind, no one will help her take it back. ”

Before Aunt Dajin could answer, Xie Yingrong cried loudly in the room: "I don't need help from others!" My stuff, I'll clean it up myself! None of you are allowed to swallow the property sent by the Hou Mansion! And what about the previous thank-you gifts? That's a hundred taels of gold! This is all her capital for acting in the future, how can it fall into the hands of others?

Xie Mulin said coldly: "The third sister seems to like to shout everywhere that she has a hundred taels of gold, is this for fear that others will not come to steal it?" ”

Xie Yingrong seemed to be choked and instantly fell silent.

Xie Mulin continued: "What's wrong with handing over the money and valuables to your aunt to help collect them? Who still swallowed you? The valuables of the fourth sister and the fourth brother, why didn't Aunt Qin keep them? Third sister, you are young, you don't know how to manage money, and if you are not careful, you will give people your property indiscriminately, and you will not suffer in the future?

"Your aunt is the most stable and shrewd, leave things to her, and ensure that no one can spend them indiscriminately, so you can rest assured! You don't have to make trouble, even if it is in front of the old lady, my father and my mother, the result will be the same. If you say that you can't believe your aunt, then I'll go back and report to the old lady for you? When you return to your hometown, the old lady will definitely be willing to keep your personal belongings for you, haven't you always been closest to her old man? ”

Xie Yingrong choked and coughed, but he covered his mouth tightly, with a frightened expression on his face, and he no longer dared to have any objections to Xie Mulin's approach.

In the evening, Mrs. Bian also sent Cheng Yi, not only Xie Yingrong's share, but even Xie Xianzhi's brother and sister, which made it more and more obvious that Cheng Yi was just a normal courtesy, not impressed by Xie Yingrong. Xie Yingrong accepted Cheng Yi listlessly, which was completely dead.

Soon, the shopkeeper Mao also sent the latest news. Wen's carriage traveled day and night, and if there was no accident, it would be time to arrive in the capital early tomorrow morning.
