Xie Jinzhi took his two younger sisters and brought his eldest brother Xie Xianzhi, who became more honest and well-behaved after being drunk, back to his house across the wall, and did not forget to go to the eldest princess of Yongning to apologize and say goodbye before leaving.

The eldest princess of Yongning comforted them very kindly, apologized for her son, and gave a generous gift by the way, and another specially marked gift for Xie Xianzhi, sealed it with a brocade box, and asked the attendants of the eldest princess's mansion to send it to Xie's house. At the same time, these attendants will escort the Xie siblings on their way home, so that they will not be harassed by anyone on the way, even though the journey is actually short.

The brothers and sisters of the Xie family didn't ask much, but they just accepted the kindness of the eldest princess of Yongning. The journey home was also very smooth – after all, the journey was really short. Even though they saw people approaching from a distance on the road, and people dressed as the three princes looking from afar, they finally returned to their own territory safely.

As for how the three brothers and sisters arranged for the drunk Xie Xianzhi to return to his own yard to relieve hangover, freshen up, and rest after returning home, and how Xie Mulin would order someone to go to the concierge to pay attention to when Xiao Rui would come to the house or something, it's all a matter of later story, so let's not say it for the time being.

After sending off the Xie family brothers and sisters, Grandma Ma also placed her husband in a resting place, and also appeased her sister-in-law Ma Yurong. As for the two Ma Gongzi, who had not yet drunk, they naturally wanted to continue to greet the cousins in the clan. Grandma Ma arranged everything properly, and then handed over the task of hospitality to her brother-in-law and grandmother Ma San, Zhao Ying, and went to see her mother-in-law, Princess Yongning, by herself.

The eldest princess of Yongning had already listened to the report of her eldest son, and at this time she was sitting alone in the quiet room separated by a screen in the corner of the water pavilion, silent.

Grandma Ma smiled and stepped forward to salute: "What does Mother think?" Uncle also said that he was very surprised, he never expected that after Mr. Xie was drunk, he would be like this! ”

The eldest princess of Yongning smiled, heard someone outside enter the house, looked up, and found that it was her husband and a horse, and hurriedly got up and helped him to sit down, which was a little inconvenient to move. After the salute, Grandma Ma also quickly poured tea and moved the heating smoker closer to her father-in-law, so as not to cause leg discomfort due to the cold.

The horse didn't care about any of this, and asked, "How?" You've already tried to thank the sons of the Xie family, right? ”

The eldest princess of Yongning looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, and Grandma Ma smiled and said: "Yes, the uncle said that the eldest prince Xie is an honest person and very sincere." is obviously not good at drinking, but he is embarrassed to refrain from being persuaded to drink. Obviously, Xie Ergongzi found an excuse to drink less, and persuaded him to eat some pastries to cushion his stomach from time to time, but every time the uncle persuaded him to drink, he drank the whole glass of wine without discount. Uncle is embarrassed to bully honest children! However, Mr. Xie's wine is good, even if he is drunk, he is still gentle, gestures, speaking etiquette, no mistakes at all, but his movements are slightly slower, compared with weekdays, it is a little silly. ”

Ma Juma tasted a product, and said with some disgust: "I have read his poems, but Zhongping, it is not a quick thinking, it is not difficult to take the imperial examination, and if you want to invite a name with poetry, I am afraid there is no hope." Now listening to you, I'm afraid that he is more than honest and less alert. If it weren't for the fact that we wanted to settle a family affair for Rong'er as soon as possible, and hoped that Rong'er would be farther away from the capital in the next few years, I would never have taken a fancy to this kind of stupid son-in-law! ”

Although he said disgusting words, Ma Juma had no idea of resisting in his heart. He looked at his wife, "What does the princess think?" ”

The eldest princess of Yongning sighed: "Yurong is good friends with Sister Hui of the Xie family, and that real sister gets along well with her." Even if you really get married, presumably there is harmony between your aunt and sister-in-law. As for Xie Xianzhi's child...... Even if he is not famous in the future, his character is still trustworthy, and he will not let Yurong suffer any grievances. I was just...... Don't like his biological mother. When I thought of my Yurong, I actually wanted to call that Cao Shuqing my mother-in-law...... I can't swallow this breath anyway! ”

The horse stopped talking. Cao Shuqing has a bad reputation, no matter how many of them are on the side of the Lin family and the second prince, or the hands and feet of the people who had a grudge with Cao Shuqing in the past, the things she has done cannot be washed away no matter what. Let their own baby daughter take such a shameless woman as her mother-in-law, and be respectful, which parent would be happy?

The eldest princess and her husband stopped talking, Grandma Ma looked left and right, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled and explained her in-laws: "The second aunt of the Cao family has been separated from Xie Shenzheng for many years, and she will marry someone else...... She is no longer the housewife of the Xie family, even if the blood relationship cannot be erased, and she does not live in the same place, she is just a mother-in-law in name, and she may not be able to see her once in a few years, what does it matter? The eldest son of Xie married a wife, and the mother-in-law that his wife wanted to respect must be the only Mrs. Wen of the Xie family. I heard that Wen's gentleness and submissiveness, tolerance and kindness, even a stubborn girl like Miss Xie couldn't say a bad word about her. With such a mother-in-law here, the daughter-in-law of the Xie family will definitely not be wronged. ”

The expression of the eldest princess of Yongning softened. The eldest daughter-in-law is right. The Xie family's family business not only has all kinds of benefits, but this serious mother-in-law is easy to get along with, which is also a great advantage.

It's just that about Wen's situation, she listened to what others said. Even Xie Yinghui praised Wen's gentleness, and she had never seen it with her own eyes, so she was always a little relieved in her heart.

Although she has known Xie Xianzhi for a long time, she really observes him as a son-in-law candidate in recent days. If you just let your daughter out, is it too hasty?

Ma Juma has been in love with her husband and wife for many years, and looking at her expression, she knew what she was hesitating, so she smiled and suggested: "We can go all the way to Shuzhong for Rong'er's family affairs, and now we can go to Beiping again, what can we do?" Let's just take the child to the north, and after we arrive in Beiping, we will take a look at Xie Xianzhi's child and meet his parents by the way. If you think he is good, she will set the marriage, and simply come back after the wedding is done in Beiping, which also saves Sister Rong from kowtowing to Cao Shuqing for tea after passing the door. If the princess thinks that Xie Xianzhi is not good enough, let's take a look at the young talents in Beiping Mansion, and it will also be made. ”

Her husband made a decision for her, and the eldest princess of Yongning suddenly felt relieved: "This is a good idea." When the heirs of the Yan Wangfu are selected, I can tell the Queen Mother and the Emperor that I will send our child to Bei'an to see how he is doing, and visit my younger siblings and nieces by the way. I had already instructed the emperor's brother to let him go to Beijing to bring Yongping over this time, but he didn't bring it. The Queen Mother wants to be peaceful forever, I will take this trip for her old man, she will definitely agree, and the emperor has no reason not to allow it! ”

In this way, her family has an excuse to leave Beijing, and she can hide from the intensifying turmoil in Beijing by the way!

Ma Juma agreed with his wife's decision, and Grandma Ma hurriedly reminded her mother-in-law: "Is that ...... Say hello to the Xie family in advance? I think that the eldest prince Xie is about the same age. When he arrives in Beiping, his family will definitely start to show him. If Xie Shenzheng is too quick to set up a family affair for his eldest son, it will not be good. Although the sister-in-law does not have to marry him, since the mother has taken a fancy to the son-in-law candidate, there is no reason to let others cut off the beard! ”

The eldest princess of Yongning laughed when she heard this: "That's a good thing, but it's not good for me to tell a few children about this kind of thing...... Ming'er, you bring a gift, go and see the old lady of the Xie family, and give her a hint. I heard that she is a foolish person, but no matter how confused she is, it is impossible to miss the marriage of her own grandson. Let her write a letter to Xie Shenzheng, and don't marry Xie Xianzhi for the time being. He is still young, it doesn't matter if he sees each other a year or two later, he can still study hard and prepare for the exam! ”
