Whether Mrs. Wan really had this plan, Xie Mulin didn't know.

But the melon that my little sister brought her today tastes quite delicious.

The sisters chatted and chatted, and there was an agreement. Xie Mulin is impatient to entertain other girls, especially the kind whose temperament and character are not compatible with her, but Xie Yingfen is quite interested in making new friends. Now that the girls of the Liu family are happy to associate with her, and they will not boast of being a concubine, they look down on her as a concubine, and they are willing to share other people's melons with her, Xie Yingfen plans to continue to associate with them. Both live on the same street, and it is very convenient to exchange letters or meet occasionally on weekdays. If she really heard any important news from the girl of the Liu family or other people's girls, she would tell her second sister Xie Mulin when she went home. If Xie Mulin gets married, then gather the news and inform her second sister when she follows the Wen family to visit her daughter in Yanwangfu.

These young girls are also a good source of information. Xie Mulin didn't have the patience to inquire with outsiders, but since Xie Yingfen was interested, she entrusted it to this little sister. If Xie Yingfen needs financial or personnel support, Xie Mulin will naturally spare no effort.

Xie Yingfen left happily, looking very happy. Xie Mulin sent her away, freshened up under the waiting of the maids, changed into homely clothes and sat on the bamboo bench under the windowsill to enjoy the coolness, remembering what Zhu Rui said to him during the day, a little worried, I don't know how her parents would react after knowing that she and Zhu Rui's marriage date was advanced?

The next day, Xie Pu and Wen went on business as usual. Xie Pu was busy with official business, so he could take leave, but he still went to the political envoy's yamen for most of the day before returning home. When Xie Mulin was in the room, he saw that he and the Wen family were smiling as usual, and there was nothing unusual, and he was curious, could it be that King Yan hadn't greeted his father yet?

At dinner, Xie Pu went out again, and according to Wen, he made an appointment for tea and talked about things. As for who it was, Wen didn't say, and Xie Mulin couldn't ask, so he could only turn around the corner and implicitly ask his mother if his own dowry furniture had been made?

Wen doesn't know what she really meant? I thought she was really going to inquire about the furniture, and joked with a smile: "Fortunately, this is at home, and there is no one else in the house?" Otherwise, I'll blush for you! Are you a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet? The dowry thing? It's good to have your parents and family to take care of you, what do you do when you ask so much? I can still call you to marry the furniture that went wrong?! ”

Xie Mulin hurriedly said: "I also have a housekeeper on weekdays, can I read the account book?" What dowry did I spend on how much silver? They all have numbers in their hearts. What's there to blush about? I just ask a question as usual, worried that my family will marry three daughters in one go out this year, and the furniture craftsmen will not have time to rush to work! ”

Wen smiled: "You just have to rest assured? Can my mother still make mistakes? Sister Rong's marriage is still early? And you're going to marry into the Yan Palace? Who did the master and I neglect? I don't dare to snub you! The furniture you want to marry has already been made? Already painted? It's drying. Leave it on for three months, and that's about it. ”

Xie Mulin hurriedly asked, "How long has it been drying?" ”

Wen thought for a moment: "The next newspaper will say that the lacquer has been finished...... Looks like it was the end of last month, right? At that time, the news that the Queen Mother was going to arrive in Beiping City ahead of schedule had just arrived......"

Xie Mulin suddenly felt a little headache. In this way, the furniture was left to dry for about a month. If the wedding date is advanced, then it can only be left to dry for another month. Is two months enough time for the new paint on the furniture to dissipate the smell? Although the furniture of this era is lacquered? Are they all made from natural materials? No chemicals? But the natural lacquer smell is enough to choke. Is the furniture she was going to use in the new house forever? The time for dispersing is short, is it really not tight?

Xie Mulin was secretly worried, but the Yan Wangfu hadn't said anything about the early marriage date? It's not good for her to speak first, so she can only press it down and think about how to deal with it first.

Can you move the furniture to a well-ventilated place and store it for a month?

What are the ways to absorb odors in the pile of materials in her space? Tea? Bamboo charcoal? Alas, these things are not reliable......

Just when Xie Mulin was secretly worried, the Xie family ushered in the return day of the eldest daughter Xie Yinghui after she got married.

Early in the morning, Xie Yinghui and her newlywed husband Huang Yan came to the gate of Xie's house in a carriage. Huang Yan got out of the car first, and then personally helped his newlywed wife get out of the car, and the two also entered the door hand in hand, with a smile on their faces, occasionally looking at each other, the sweet breath soon smoked the porter's family and mother-in-law, followed by the two Mu bureaucrats who occasionally passed by in the outer courtyard and said hello to Huang Yan, and then the little maid waiting outside the living room and the mother-in-law guarding the second door. When the little couple went to the upper room of the main courtyard and kowtowed to Xie Pu and Wen, it was the turn of the brothers and sisters of the Xie family to be killed.

Xie Pu calmly accepted the gift of his daughter and son-in-law. Wen smiled so hard that he didn't think there was anything wrong with him.

The next thing is the usual questioning, Xie Yinghui and Huang Yan are obviously a loving couple, no matter what the question is, the answer is always very good and very good, Xie Pu lost his temper when he heard it, and finally felt that the sugar content of the indoor air was too high.

He coughed lightly, ordered his son-in-law to follow him to the study, and then motioned for his sons to follow him, and took the man away. Xie Yinghui watched her newlywed husband out of the house before she withdrew her gaze, and then smiled sweetly at Wen and Xie Mulin, her whole face became more and more radiant, a little sweeter and more touching than she was three days ago.

Wen couldn't help but smile happily again. The daughter and son-in-law love each other after marriage, which is the best joy for the mother.

Xie Mulin asked himself if he was a single dog, so he very calmly resisted the sour smell of love exuded by his eldest sister, and sat down next to Xie Yinghui and asked her, "Is the eldest brother-in-law good to you?" Is Mrs. Huang good to you? Are you used to living in the Huang family? ”

When she asked, Xie Yinghui nodded once, and said with crooked eyebrows: "I'm fine." I changed to a new place, and I was indeed a little unaccustomed to sleeping, but it was good to have your brother-in-law here. Wen coughed lightly and glanced at his three unmarried daughters with some uneasiness, but Xie Yinghui immediately picked up, "He will also tell me bedtime stories, and tell me interesting stories about his childhood in the capital, which is strange and fresh." I've already made an appointment with him, and when I get back to the capital, he'll take me to visit his favorite places when I was a kid! ”
