Chapter 205: Reminder
Xie Yinghui cried bitterly, and finally calmed down under the persuasion of her brothers and sisters and Wen.
Regarding her future life in the Xie family's mansion, she said that she had already thought about it and did not plan to listen to her brother's arrangements.
She plans to give up staying at Jin Xuan Tang. Although she lives in Jin Xuan Hall, it is more guaranteed in terms of security, and it is also convenient for the family to work and patrol, but she brought back so many people, how can the three-entry courtyard of Jin Xuan Hall live? It is better to continue to live in their own courtyard, and the male servants live in the servants' rooms in the outer court. It's all ready-made rooms, and there are ready-made utensils, so it's convenient to take the packed things out and use them again.
Xie Xianzhi frowned when he heard this. He always felt that it was okay for his sister to move home, but it was not good to bring so many people who were close to the Cao family. He hadn't forgotten that Wen Zhu had almost poisoned Xie Pu in the Xie family, so how could he dare to take another risk? Even though his father Xie Pu has left now, there is still his grandmother Mrs. Xie at home. Even if no one in the Cao family poisoned the members of the Xie family again, it would be annoying enough just to install ears and eyes to inquire about the internal news of the Xie family. Since he opposes his sister's marriage to Cao Wenheng, how could he connive at his sister's subordinates to become spies of the Cao family?
Xie Yinghui saw that her brother was opposed, so she showed a pitiful expression, pulled the corner of Xie Xianzhi's sleeve and pleaded: "Big brother, just promise me." You heard what Grandmother and her old man said. It's not that I'm not filial to her, but after so many things have happened, I always feel very embarrassed to get along with her old man day and night, and there are three sisters here. I have never been on good terms with her. Instead of reluctantly living with them, getting into quarrels and losing their temper at every turn, it is better to live in different courtyards from the beginning. ”
When Xie Xianzhi heard this, he hesitated. The third sister Xie Yingrong has done that kind of thing, and it seems that it is indeed a little inappropriate to really let her live in the same courtyard with Xie Yinghui......
Xie Yinghui saw that her brother was moved, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Big brother, don't worry, I will never forget the daily morning and dusk, and I will come to accompany my grandmother to dinner." Anyway, it's in my own home, it's the same as before. If you're worried that my yard is too far away from Jin Xuan Hall, and the people who patrol at night can't take care of it, it's a big deal to let the people I bring back line up another group of people and patrol every day. There are so many people on my side, I'm afraid it's safer than the old lady's. If the old lady needs it, I can also divide some of the people to come. ”
At this time, Xie Jinzhi spoke: "There is nothing wrong with the eldest sister and the old lady living in two courtyards separately. The two yards are not far away, and it is not troublesome to walk back and forth, just as a neighbor. It's just that the eldest sister's subordinates, it's better to come to Jin Xuantang less if it's okay. It's not that we can't trust the ability of the eldest sister, but ...... After all, there is a precedent for Wenzhu in the past, and instead of leaving hidden dangers, it is better to plug the loopholes that can be exploited at the beginning. ”
Xie Mulin also nodded and said, "Second brother is right. The people of the big sister can only enter the Jinxuan Hall when they follow the big sister, and they can't meddle in the affairs of the Jinxuan Hall. Serve tea and pour water and the like, and you don't have to work with them. For others, it's best not to go back and forth in private. In this way, even if something unpleasant happened in Jin Xuantang, the big sister's people would be able to avoid suspicion. This is a good thing for both the old lady and the big sister. ”
Xie Xianzhi's brows suddenly relaxed: "Yes, avoid suspicion of each other, and don't be suspicious in case of trouble." ”
Xie Yinghui looked at the three of them hesitantly: "Won't this be too troublesome?" That...... What if I have anything to send to my grandmother or my third sister? Or maybe I want to honor my grandmother or something? ”
Xie Mulin said: "The eldest sister wants to send someone to send a message to deliver something, just ask Sister Pearl at the door of Jinxuan Hall to relay it." There are not many people in Jin Xuan Hall, so I don't think I will delay the business. As for the eldest sister who wants to honor the old lady, I think it is best to avoid things like eating and incense. In short, don't leave people with a loophole. Also, I know that people who work in the same house will inevitably have personal relationships with each other. The people brought back by the eldest sister were also originally waiting at the Xie family, and they were more familiar with the old lady's people. But after Wenzhu's incident, it is better for everyone to try to communicate in private, so as not to be suspected of inquiring about the news. Anyway, there are enough people under the big sister, so she shouldn't feel lonely and need to expand her interpersonal interactions. ”
Xie Yinghui frowned when she heard this, but she still reluctantly agreed: "Okay, it's not a difficult thing." She was a little depressed and couldn't help complaining about Wen Zhu, but thinking that Wen Zhu was also acting on her uncle's orders, she had to sigh.
Xie Jinzhi reminded Xie Yinghui again: "If there is really a spy of the Cao family among the people under the eldest sister, and secretly pass on the news of the Xie family, Cai Laotian will find out the people." At that time, no matter who this person is, and whether he has to be reused by his eldest sister, he will no longer be able to stay in the Xie family. The eldest sister should know about this, and it is best to warn her subordinates in advance, lest someone do not know the severity of the matter and make a mistake in a daze. ”
Xie Yinghui said impatiently: "Got it!" My people, are you still afraid that I will not be able to control it? Besides, the uncle is dead, and the eldest uncle has reconciled with his father, where is there still someone in the Cao family who will be unfavorable to the Xie family and send someone to install eyes and ears in the house? ”
Xie Mulin and Xie Jinzhi listened to each other, although this girl was not as ignorant as before, it seemed that she could not have access to the truth. They have to find a time to make up for her, lest she be used by the Cao family in a daze.
Xie Yinghui said a few words to her brothers and sisters depressedly, then quit the Wen family and went back to her yard. She ordered her maids and daughters-in-law to hurry up and quickly tidy up their rooms, unpack and take out the things that were originally packed in the house, and the luggage brought back from Pingnanbo's Mansion should also be properly placed. In this way, when the sun turned west, Xie Yinghui's room was completely tidyed. Her eldest girl, Onyx, hurriedly took the others and tidied up their own residences. As for the male servant, it will be arranged by Cai Laotian.
Today's dinner is a reunion feast. Wen's specially sent Xie Huizhi to take people to a famous restaurant nearby to book a good table of noodles, not only to celebrate Mrs. Xie's return to her former residence, but also to pick up Xie Yinghui who went home, which is a warm house. Except for Xie Pu, who was on the way to his post, and Wanqin, who was grounded on Gongyuan West Street, everyone in the Xie family attended the reunion banquet. Everyone gathered together, the atmosphere was harmonious, and when I recalled the experience of the past two months, I felt like I was in a different world.
Wen took the juniors to toast Mrs. Xie: "The old lady's birthday banquet was halfway through, so the officers and soldiers were disturbed, and I didn't have time to let the juniors kowtow to the old lady to celebrate her birthday." After the old man got rid of the crime, he has not been able to make up for the birthday banquet for the old lady, and every time he mentions it, he always feels very regretful. Although the old man is absent today, it is rare that the juniors are not lacking, and they are all gathered together, so let them make up a belated greeting, wishing the old lady a long and happy life. ”
Old Mrs. Xie, who has always been picky, was in a rare mood when she heard Wen's words, and she smiled and picked up her wine glass: "Since it is the intention of the children and grandchildren, my old woman naturally wants to drink this cup." ”
Xie Xianzhi's brother and sister hurriedly congratulated in unison, you and I said a lot of auspicious words one by one, which made Mrs. Xie smile happily, and she never lost her temper all night. When the feast was over, she drank a few more glasses, then felt sleepy, returned to her own room, and soon fell asleep.
