Lord Xiao who came naturally refers to Xiao Ruixiao's second son.

After Xie Xianzhi and his younger sister Xie Mulin, Xie Huizhi Qiqi and Xiao Rui met and sat down, the former came to his senses, how could he let his sister come out to meet the male guests?

Before coming out, the second sister was worried that he was not in good spirits and would be rude when meeting guests, and the third brother Xie Huizhi had a temperament that jumped out, and with her present, he could still help Yuanyuanchang when their brother was careless. He was in a trance, thinking that Xiao Rui had also met his second sister, and the old house was still lent out by the second sister, Xiao Rui came to thank the family for this, and it was also the right thing to call the second sister, so he took his sister with him in a daze.

In retrospect, it's still not quite right. Especially the second sister is still wearing men's clothes, if Xiao Rui, the son of the general's mansion who was born in a high-ranking family in Beijing, feels that it is not in accordance with the rules, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the second sister?

But everyone is coming, and if the second sister is asked to avoid it again, it will be too traceful, and it will not embarrass everyone.

Xie Xianzhi was a little restless, and his heart was extremely annoyed.

Xie Mulin was very calm, and took the initiative to ask Xiao Rui: "I heard that all the heroes who are recuperating from their injuries in the old mansion have all gotten rid of the epidemic?" Are all the injuries healed? ”

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "It's all good, and I have to thank the Xie family for Gaoyi." If it weren't for the Xie family's full help, and inviting a miracle doctor like Du Erye, I really don't know what to do. If the brothers make a mistake, I don't know how to explain it to the superiors. He couldn't help but glance at Xie Mulin a few more times, and smiled again, "Second Miss Xie is really energetic in dressing, and she looks heroic, and she is even more stylish than Brother Ling." ”

Xie Mulin glanced at Xie Xian and said with a smile: "My eldest brother was tired and in poor spirits when he was fighting the flood in the academy, so he looked haggard, in fact, he has always been personable on weekdays, who doesn't praise him for being handsome?" I'm just trying to move conveniently, so I only occasionally wear men's clothes, where can I compare with my brothers? ”

Xie Xianzhi hurriedly defended his sister in front of Xiao Rui: "Brother Xiao, don't laugh, my sister is because a few days ago, the flood was raging, and in order to deal with the disaster, the clan worked together, regardless of men and women, and the sister also helped to do a lot of things, so she gave up the long skirt of the Chinese dress for the convenience of doing things." The same is true of many aunts and sisters-in-law in the clan, and it is not the sisters who are unusual. ”

Xiao Rui then remembered that after entering Xie Jiajiao, he did see a few women walking around on the road in men's clothes, but they were only wearing men's clothes and did not comb men's hairstyles, which was a little different from Xie Mulin. But he didn't say much, just smiled and said: "The Xie family is really extraordinary. ”

Xie Huizhi was still smiling and laughing on the side: "My second sister pretends to be a man, more like all aunts, sisters-in-law, and sisters, and even her name is taken separately." The elders of the clan also called her a boy's name, not her sister. People who don't know outside regard my second sister as an elder brother in the clan, and no one recognizes her as a girl! If Second Brother Xiao hadn't recognized my second sister a long time ago, maybe he would have admitted his mistake. ”

Xie Xianzhi hurriedly gave the third brother a look and told him to say a few words. Xiao Rui is not a relative of his own family, and he is from the Xiao family, which is not very harmonious, and he is not familiar with them, what do you want to tell him about the sisters in the family?

Xie Huizhi shrunk his neck, but he was still smiling, and he didn't really care. He knows Xiao Rui's personality well and will not talk nonsense outside. Everyone has long been familiar with each other, and the second sister can tell her father Cao to steal people in front of Xiao Rui, so what's the matter if you laugh? What's so bad about wearing men's clothes?

The smile on Xiao Rui's face remained unchanged: "Indeed, when I came in, I thought in my heart, this little brother doesn't know which one of the Xie family it is, he looks a little like the second son of Xie, could it be that the fourth young master I haven't seen before?" Later, I found out that it was the second girl, and she almost made a joke. ”

It's no wonder that the fourth young master of the Xie family is nine years old, and it is impossible for him to confuse the handsome "boy" in front of him with a nine-year-old child. At that time, he saw Xie Mulin at a glance, but only later did he notice that she was wearing men's clothes, and he didn't pay attention to it before. However, there is no need for him to explain this kind of thing to the Xie family.

After the greetings, everyone began to get to the point.

Xiao Rui began to solemnly thank the Xie family, thanking them for lending the house, providing tea and rice, and discovering the symptoms of the epidemic in time, inviting a doctor for treatment, providing a lot of medicinal materials and food, and finally helping him personally carry a letter to his family.

Xie Xianzhi also began to deal with it in a positive way, modestly saying that his family was just meeting by chance, and what he did was what he should do, and as a local clan, he should help the military, and in turn thanked Jin Shanwei for eradicating Xiaoxiao, protecting the Xie family, and finally condoled with the sick, and asked with concern whether Jin Shanwei still needed the Xie family's help to do something, and by the way, he asked euphemistically how long they would stay in Huyin - in fact, they were asking when the officers and soldiers would return the old mansion.

Xiao Rui apologized to Xie Xianzhi first, because of the Xie family's old house, they had to wait until all the seriously injured veterans were picked up by Jin Shanwei before they could be returned to the master's house. However, he promised that he would help clean the whole house and get rid of the sickness.

In fact, Jin Shanwei could also borrow the Qianhu Office in Pingwang Town, but at present, Huang Qianhu has not been removed, and there are still many diehards of the Huang family in the Qianhu Office, because Jin Shanwei and the others acted too fast, which made them too incompetent, and they refused to help cover up, so that Huang Qianhu was still removed, and the other people were also difficult to protect their official positions, and they were all angry. A group of wounded soldiers who are not in good health and are recovering from a serious illness enter their territory, and God knows what will happen? Anyway, they live very well in the Xie family's old house, and the water transportation is convenient, so they are too lazy to move.

After Xie Xianzhi politely expressed the honor of the Xie family, he began to inquire about the current situation of the Huang family, in fact, he was also concerned, what is the situation of the Cao family in Beijing in the open and secret struggle with the Lin family? He was trapped in Zhushan Academy for many days, and he knew nothing about the outside world.

Xiao Rui is actually not much better than him, and the news has also been isolated for half a month, but now he has contacted his own ears and eyes, plus the news brought by Mu Cheng, he is slightly stronger than Xie Xianzhi. He frankly told Xie Xianzhi that the current news from the capital should be that the Cao family has temporarily gained the upper hand, and the Lin family is not in a very good situation because they are suspected of colluding with the water bandits. However, there is no evidence to prove the Lin family's crimes, so no one in the Lin family has been convicted. And the Cao family was not treated well by the emperor, and the Huang family's lost military power could not be returned. Although Jin Peng, the commander of Jin Shanwei, was only in charge of Zhejiang's military affairs, he heard that the DPRK and China had already made a case for the new Hangzhou general, and he would definitely not be surnamed Huang.

Otherwise, the Huang Qianhu of the Thousand Households in Pingwang Town would not have lost his mission so easily.

Xie Xian sighed secretly in his heart, and then hesitantly asked about the news of his biological mother Cao and Fang Wenshan.

Xiao Rui had already told Xie Huizhi what he knew yesterday, and he couldn't say anything more, only mentioning which magistrate was competing with Fang Wenshan, and which prominent family he came from. Xie Xianzhi thanked him again, and his mood plummeted.

Xiao Rui saw that the host's family was no longer in the mood to entertain guests, so he offered to leave. He had to go to the county seat.

Xie Xianzhi hurriedly cheered up and pulled his younger siblings to see off the guests together. Xiao Rui and Xie Hui walked out with a smile, as if they had formed a good friendship.

Before going out, Xiao Rui seemed to ask casually: "Second Miss Xie gave herself a man's name, I don't know what to call it?" ”

Xie Mulin was quite willing to tell his real name to an acquaintance: "It's called Xie Mulin." My grandfather was nicknamed Lin Tingshan, and I admired him very much, so I gave him this name. ”

"Mulin?" Xiao Rui glanced at Xie Mulin and said with a smile, "Good name." The base of his ears turned slightly red.

Coincidentally, the word His Royal Highness King Yan gave him was "Chonglin".
