Chapter 566: Popularity
Shermulin's cheeks flushed.
She and Xiao Rui only have a little tacit understanding, and they are not engaged or anything, why does his biological mother talk to close acquaintances as if they are already an unmarried couple? She can appreciate the kindness of the ancient lady, but she will also be ashamed if the other party says such things so bluntly!
Xie Mulin cleared his throat and wanted to say something, but suddenly he didn't seem to know what to say.
said that she had actually heard some rumors about Miss Xue Si a long time ago, but she didn't expect that she would be here, or did she only understand what was going on today about the awkward atmosphere between Mrs. Xiao and the Xue family in the General Mansion of the Pillar Kingdom? Doesn't seem like a good idea, does it?
Xie Yingrong and Beeswax have actually revealed some news. Xie Mulin has analyzed it, and it is estimated that Miss Xue Si married Xiao Rui in her last life, but in this life, Xie Yingrong wants to help her change her husband. The reason why there is such an idea, I am afraid that Xiao Rui and Miss Xue Si were not happy in their last life, right?
In his previous life, Xie Mulin had not participated in it, and it was impossible to force Xiao Rui to be a bachelor for the rest of his life, so although he was a little sour in his heart, he didn't care too much. It's just that now that she has heard more about Miss Xue Si's deeds, she is a little aggrieved for Xiao Rui. How unlucky was he in his last life? would marry such a scheming girl? Listening to the words of the ancient lady, this is because Mrs. Xiao does not care about the lifelong happiness of her concubine, and only considers whether his wife can bring her a lot of wealth?
But the rich girl in the world is not just Miss Xue Si, when Mrs. Xiao agreed to the Xue family's family business, didn't she consider her political position?
Even if she didn't plan to marry her daughter to the third prince as a concubine, from the perspective of the third prince, the maternal cousin - who is still familiar with his various preferences, taboos and even ulterior little secrets - married his political opponent the prince's concubine and became a brother-in-law with the prince...... Is he really not going to blow up? And the mother-in-law and future mother-in-law made this kind of suspicious interest marriage, really not to doubt whether he can succeed and want to add an extra insurance to his family?
On the other hand, from the standpoint of General Xiao Mingde, as the emperor's confidant and the general who holds the military power of the Jingxi battalion, but he chose to let his son marry the prince's wife, does he really have no intention of befriending the prince and the Cao family? So when the emperor wants to do something to the empress, the crown prince and the Cao family in the future, can he really resolutely act according to the emperor's orders? When the empress, the empress dowager and the Cao family want to do something to the emperor, will he stand firmly on the emperor's side?
Xie Mulin had already come up with several reasons to oppose Xiao Rui's marriage to Miss Xue Si with a slight turn of her mind, and she didn't believe that others couldn't think of it. She is just a rookie in the modern workplace, and she has not experienced any serious political struggles, and she still has such an awareness. Mrs. Xiao has been in the circle of elites for so many years, her husband is one of the emperor's most trusted generals with troops, and she also plans to marry her daughter to the prince's nephew who has the intention of taking the heir, but when she promised the Xue family, she only thought about the dowry of Miss Xue Si in her heart?!
How foolish this woman is!
Isn't it easy for a noble lady from a powerful family like Mrs. Xiao to want money? Those who have the ability, like the Xie family, do business honestly to make money, and those who have no ability but are powerful can also learn from the Cao family and take advantage of the wealthy people. Although it is not worth advocating, it is also a common method nowadays.
Beat the idea of marrying the daughter-in-law, using the concubine as a tool for profit, and offending his own big backer by the way, and at the same time destroying the trust between his own daughter and the future son-in-law's candidate, what a speechless operation? ! Even if Mrs. Xiao really thinks that her approach is very smart, don't find the Xue family! She doesn't care about what Xiao Rui's future holds, doesn't she even care about the future of her husband, General Xiao?!
Xie Mulin thought to himself, Xue Si was persuaded by Xie Yingrong to climb another high branch, but she saved the Xiao family by hitting the ground crookedly. As for if Miss Xue really became the side concubine of the third prince, how the Xue family would deal with the emperor's move to bet on two princes at the same time for his family, it had nothing to do with the Xiao family.
Xie Mulin blushed, but he had already quickly figured out the rights and wrongs of the whole thing in his mind, and quickly calmed down.
She pretended that she didn't blush at all, and she didn't hear Gu Niangzi's ambiguous words, and said to the other party calmly: "Thank you Gu Niangzi for coming to tell me." Although there are many rumors outside, I have not obtained the exact information of the Xiao family, so I will not misunderstand anyone based on rumors alone. I also asked Gu Niangzi to tell Aunt Li that I thank her for her kindness, please rest assured. Mrs. Xiao has been in a bad mood recently, afraid that she will anger everyone in the family, and asked Aunt Li to take care of herself. ”
Gu Niangzi looked at Xie Mulin with a smile, and responded with a crisp voice. The more she looks at it, the more she likes this second girl Xie, she is obviously ashamed of what she has become, but she can still hold up her dignified style, be calm as usual, and speak and act without panicking, this is really the character that only everyone has in a beautiful girl. Such a girl is worthy of their master.
What stinky eyes does the general's wife have? I actually fell in love with such a girl who climbed the dragon and the phoenix, was ambitious, and didn't care about the family. Even if they are the same descendants of businessmen, with different upbringing and different door styles, the girl is not the same as the girl!
Xie Mulin was more and more ashamed of the ancient lady. She cleared her throat again, trying to turn the topic to business: "This kind of thing happened in the house, and the general's wife was also disgraced by the Xue family, I don't know if General Xiao knows?" Hasn't he returned from the camp yet? That...... Did Xiao Ergongzi already know about the north? ”
Gu Niangzi smiled and said to her: "Second Miss Xie, don't worry, our master won't really annoy the general!" The general already knew about his trip north at the end of the month, and although he lost his temper a few words, the court orders came down, what else could he do? The general will not go to the military department to force those adults to give orders and call our master back, even if he wants to make up his mind, he will have to wait until after the expiration of his three-year term.
"According to the little ones, although the general is worried that the young master will encounter danger in the northern border town, he is also a little happy in his heart. The general wanted to go to the border town to make meritorious service in his early years, but he was deeply favored by the emperor and could only stay in Beijing to garrison, and he rarely even had the opportunity to go out to quell the turmoil, and he always regretted it. The eldest young master followed the general to train, and there was no chance to go out of Beijing, and the general's wife was not allowed. Now that our master can take the initiative to ask to guard the border, it is actually a long-cherished wish for the general. The general also hopes that he can make military achievements and return home safely as soon as possible! ”
General Xiao no longer stopped his second son from going north, and even sent a few henchmen to help Xiao Rui, brought enough supplies and silver to catch up, and then brought a few handwritten letters to the familiar northern generals, hoping that his son would be taken care of and would not suffer any losses when he arrived in the border army.
General Xiao even wrote a letter to King Yan. Although he had a very good relationship with King Yan in his early years, many years have passed, and he has not officially exchanged a letter with King Yan for a long time. Now for Xiao Rui, I can't take care of a lot, so I hope that my son can live a better life in the north.
As for the so-called family affairs of the Xue family, General Xiao also heard about it, and no one was too lazy to come back from the camp in western Beijing, so he only sent a confidant home to send a message to his wife, saying that she was "playing the piano indiscriminately", and she was not allowed to tear her face with the Xue family, and she was not allowed to decide the marriage of the children in the family privately in the future, saying that she knew it in her heart, and she didn't need to be smart!
After Mrs. Xiao's bad temper calmed down a little, there were signs of a comeback, and General Xiao's letter can be said to have contributed a lot.
Xie Mulin asked Gu Niangzi: "Then how is Aunt Li now?" It won't be affected, right? ”
Gu Niangzi said with a smile: "Don't worry, my aunt knows it." We are also very careful. As long as the girl accepts the gift of our master, understands his mind in her heart, and will not have a trace of misunderstanding, my aunt will be at ease! ”
Shermulin's face turned red again.
