Xie Pu has always had a good official reputation in Beiping City, and he has both power and fame in the Yamen of the Political Envoy - the political envoy Zhou Lao is old and sick, not to mention that he is seriously ill now, even when he was not very sick before, he also prefers to hand over some tiring and tiring work to his subordinate auxiliary officials, and the smart and capable and unassuming Xie Pu is his first choice.

However, his good popularity in officialdom does not mean that he has a wide range of contacts.

Xie Pu maintains a distance from everyone in Beiping City, even if he has close friends in the officialdom, or Yanwangfu who has a good personal relationship, but on the surface, he doesn't have much contact with them. There are very few banquets and gatherings in their own homes, and no one will openly come to the door to give gifts. Except for a few officials and wives in the neighborhood, they will come to talk to Wen during the day, or make an appointment to go to a temple and nunnery to offer incense and relax, and even guests are rare.

Now that a four-pin Edict Mrs. Huang has just come, she is here to propose to the eldest lady, and another official lady has come to turn around, and the maid in the family will naturally wonder if she is also here to propose. There are four young ladies in the Xie family, and there seem to be a few young masters and young ladies in the governor's mansion, who may be about the same age?

His majesty is not strict and has a kind temper, so the people in the family are not too afraid of their master in private. As long as they don't violate the rules of the house, don't delay serious work, and don't chew their tongues to slander the master's family, they gossip in private, and they don't get in the way, just don't spread it outside. So the girl in the main courtyard secretly laughed and discussed, and didn't think it was a big deal.

But Wanqin listens to it in the ears, it's another matter.

She couldn't get out of the house, and Ginkgo was also restricted from her freedom of movement, and now because the fourth girl Xie Yingfen had a life, she didn't dare to ask people about the news outside, so the master and servant could only listen to a few words, and guessed what might happen on their own.

Ginkgo was afraid of Xie Yingfen's order and didn't dare to say anything, but Wanqin couldn't stop her brain. She really suspected that the governor's wife came to the door to say that she was in person, and the object of the kiss was Xie Yingzhen, the second girl from the Wen family! Maybe it was because the Wen family was anxious to tell the governor's family affairs for his own daughter, so he hurriedly married the eldest lady Xie Yinghui out indiscriminately! casually promised the eldest daughter of the Cao family to a person with a mediocre family, but he told his own daughter about the good marriage of the children of high-ranking officials, and the Wen family's methods are too powerful, right? It's a shame that everyone still thinks she is a good person, and even the fourth girl, Xie Yingfen, thinks that there is nothing bad about the eldest lady's family affairs, and she was simply coaxed by the Wen family!

Wanqin drilled the tip of the horns, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was reasonable, and she wanted to call her daughter over again and wake her up with her "reasonable" speculation. However, Xie Yingfen was angry with her aunt's nonsense, and didn't want to listen to her arranging her mother-in-law anymore, so she simply found an excuse and suspended her sister and brother's daily trip to see Wanqin, and also obtained Wen's permission. Wanqin couldn't find anyone to say if she had something to say, and her mood became more and more anxious.

Ginkgo sometimes asks the girl in the main courtyard to secretly report Wanqin's situation to Xie Yingfen, so Xie Yingfen is not ignorant of her biological mother's thoughts. Not only was she not moved, but she was even more annoyed, and she didn't want to see her biological mother, so she only focused on urging her younger brother to review his homework and accompany the elders in the second room.

After Song and Mrs. Huang met that day, Mrs. Huang learned that Song intended to go back to her hometown to visit the tomb, so she invited her to live in her old house. The Song family, due to the death of the Song wine couple for many years, the only son also died early, and only one daughter who married outside was left, which can be regarded as a broken incense. In the early years, the clan gave them an heir, and the heir has married a wife and had children, and now he even has a grandson, and he has a good relationship with the Bensheng family. The original old mansion was too narrow to accommodate so many people, so it had been demolished and rebuilt by the heirs, so naturally there would be no place for the Song family's aunt to stay. The Song family just wanted to sweep the tombs of their ancestors and worship their deceased relatives, and they were not interested in any disputes with the clan and heirs, so they did not plan to go back to the old house of their mother's family, which had been changed beyond recognition.

Xie Pu had been buying a property for her in a town near the Song clan's settlement, and it had just been transferred, and the previous owner had not moved out yet, and the house had not been cleaned up. But the Song family didn't want to waste any more time, looking forward to going to pay respects to their relatives earlier, and didn't care where they lived, just find an inn casually. Xie Pu didn't want to wronged his mother, and he was recently persuading the Song family. But as the weather gets colder and colder, I really wait until the house I bought is all sorted out and ready to move in, and I am afraid that the weather is too cold, and the Song family will not be able to stand it when they go out. At the time of this stalemate, Mrs. Huang sent out an invitation, which can be said to be of great help.

Song and Xie Meijun's mother and daughter have been discussing with Xie Pu and Wen in the past two days, to choose a suitable day to go to the Huang family's old house in Changping County to stay for a while, so that it is convenient to pay homage to the ancestors of the Song family.

When the three ladies discussed the arrangements after going to Changping County, they mentioned a lot of rituals during the sacrifice, which made Xie Yingfen feel that she could learn a lot, so she would pull Yang Yuan over to watch every time. Although the two little girls can only do some work of pouring tea and water, and most of the time they can only sit quietly on the side as wallflowers, Xie Yingfen feels that she has learned a lot of useful rules, even if she encounters the same thing after marrying in the future, she can deal with it in her heart. Therefore, Yang Yuan couldn't listen to it a little, and she was distracted from time to time, but she was listening attentively to the discussion of the elders from beginning to end, and then picking a suitable time to ask Wen and Xie Meijun in private for the parts she didn't understand.

Xie Meijun now likes this niece more and more, and when she thinks that her son can marry such a sensible daughter-in-law, she will wake up laughing in her dreams.

Xie Yingfen was busy with such an important homework, of course she didn't want to listen to what her aunt was thinking about every day. However, on the day when the governor's wife came to visit, the girls could not accompany Wen to help entertain the guests, so she still ran to talk to the two eldest sisters. And in the conversation between the two eldest sisters, she also figured out what the governor's wife came to the door for. In addition to being surprised, she blessed the second sister Xie Mulin again, and only felt a little curious: "The eldest sister has decided to marry, and someone has come to propose to the second sister so soon, I'm afraid that my father and wife have already made a conclusion about our sister's family affairs, just wait for us to arrive in Beiping, we can officially decide, right?" I just don't know...... What kind of family affair did the father tell the third sister? ”

Xie Yinghui and Xie Mulin can't say for sure. As far as they know, Xie Yingrong's marriage doesn't seem to be approved yet......

Wanqin in the main courtyard didn't know anything about the conversation between her daughter and her two sisters, she just sat by the window, looking in the direction of the entrance of the main courtyard, wondering if the governor's wife would bring a prince to visit, so that the Wen family could see her son-in-law?

But she waited for a long time, only to see Wen solemnly dressed in the big clothes of hospitality, and led the henchmen and daughters-in-law out of the door of the main courtyard to greet the guests, but she didn't wait for them to turn around for a long time. After being in a daze for a long time, she remembered that Mrs. Huang could also be said to be a relative in the second room, so she could welcome her into the main courtyard and talk in the upper room. The governor's wife is a rare guest of the Xie family, and she is received in the main hall or flower hall of the outer courtyard, which is considered a courtesy. Therefore, she is afraid that it is impossible for her to see this distinguished guest in the main courtyard, and the half day she has been waiting for is just a waste of effort!
