The Xie family left for more than an hour, and Xiao Ruifang returned to Zizhu Courtyard from outside. When he heard the news of his fiancée's family leaving, he felt a burst of regret in his heart, but he quickly recovered.

Anyway, he has a lot of things to do, and it is impossible to stay by his fiancée Xie Mulin every day, so he simply hurries up and finishes his business first, and then he can go back to the city to see her. When the time comes, he can go to Xie's house to talk to Xie Mulin the next day, and there is no one to stop him, wouldn't it be better?

Thinking about it like this, he felt that most of the fatigue on his body had disappeared, and he could work harder a little more.

However, when his mother-in-law, Princess Yan, learned that he had returned, she quickly summoned him to speak.

She briefly mentioned the resignation of the Xie family, and talked about Xiao Xie's volunteering to escort the Xie family back to the city: "I originally ordered someone else, but I didn't expect him to suddenly come over and persuade the original person to give up and replace him." He is the person next to you, and he should act at your orders on weekdays, but you shouldn't have asked him to go back to the city with the Xie family, right? Does he have any ideas of his own? ”

Xiao Rui was stunned and asked, "What does the princess think he will think?" ”

Princess Yan sighed: "What else can you think?" In the past, Wan Long was also an errand person by your side, but because of your and Xie Pu's appreciation, it didn't take long for him to become your brother-in-law, and in a blink of an eye, he entered the capital with Yuan Xie, and now he has been reused by the prince, and his future is limitless. Xujia ...... has always been the in-law of Yan Wangfu, even if there are only two children in our palace now, you and Yongping, it is not the turn of Xu Jiaxiao to think, that Xiao Xu may not have his own ideas. The Xie family has four daughters, only the first three are married, and there is one Xie Si girl who is still waiting to be in the boudoir! It's not that I don't think it's right for the Xu family and the Xie family to be in the same household, but I've seen Miss Xie Si in the past two days, and I think she is a shy little girl, and Xiao Xu and other thoughtful children are not suitable for such a little girl to be a husband. ”

Xiao Rui understood what Princess Yan meant, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He confessed to Princess Yan: "The fourth girl of the Xie family actually already has a family, which is the grandson of the second room of the Xie family. It's just that their cousins now live under the same roof, so in order to avoid embarrassment, they didn't make it public, but the two elders know it in their hearts. Xiao Xu did have a lot of thoughts, but he knew that he didn't have much to rely on in Beiping, and everything depended on the palace. He didn't dare to make his own decisions, let alone seduce other people's little girls. I guess he probably thinks I like Xiaohong's temperament more, so he plans to curry favor with Second Sister Xie, so that he can win my favor by nepotism. It's just that Second Sister Xie is not a few years older than him, and he hasn't married me yet, so he was afraid that I would misunderstand, so he simply went to the Xie brothers. ”

Princess Yan sighed: "Although in order to suppress your little uncle, the prince sent someone to bring back the children of the Hong family and the Xu family, and made a companion for you, and I also hope that you can add a few more arms, but Xiao Hong is fine, his temperament is pure, don't worry about anything wrong, this Xiao Xu ...... But there are too many solid eyes. With his background, even in the face of the old lady, it is impossible for us to really use him as an entourage, but let him live and practice for two years, and learn some real skills, so that we can arrange for him to be a serious messenger in the future. But at this time, he began to make his heart and eyes, and he wanted to curry favor and climb up, but he refused to honestly follow the arrangement, what is this good thing to say? ”

Xiao Rui didn't think it was a big deal. He himself is a person with many eyes, and he does not exclude cultivating a few helpers with many eyes. Although he personally prefers to deal with people with pure hearts, because it will be easier, if his subordinates are too naïve and honest, they may not be easy to call. He prefers a subordinate who is a little smarter and quicker, so that he doesn't have to bother with guidance, and the other party knows what to do. As for the other party, if they are too smart, will they do something superfluous...... Of course he wouldn't be unimpressed. As a boss, he has the responsibility to supervise his subordinates!

Xiao Rui said to Princess Yan: "Xiao Xu has some eyes, it may not be a bad thing, as long as he doesn't pretend to be stupid." If he is willing to be close to the Xie family, then he can go. In the future, the second sister Xie will marry me, and it will be impossible to stay in the boudoir and be an idle wife who embroiders and drinks tea all day long, and she will have to take care of a lot of things. If there was a clever and capable person who could give her a hand, I would be more relaxed. If Xiao Xu does something wrong one day, I will remind him and admonish him if necessary. ”

Princess Yan smiled: "Since you know it in your heart, then I don't care." It's just that...... It's not that I said you, this daughter-in-law hasn't married her yet, you just want to ask her to do things, which is too inconsiderate! Where is there a husband who does this? Another day, if I tell my in-laws about this, see if she doesn't slap you behind your back! ”

Xiao Rui laughed twice and didn't say much. In the future, the mother-in-law may agree with Princess Yan's opinion and feel that his ideas are not considerate enough, but if she changes to her serious fiancée Xie Mulin, I am afraid that she will be happier to have something to do after marriage. The Xie Mulin he likes is not a weak woman who is willing to enjoy leisure in the deep boudoir!

While talking, someone came to report that Xiaohong was coming.

Princess Yan looked surprised and looked at Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui was also confused: "Why is he here?" I kept him in the palace in preparation for my father's important news to pass on to the princess, the county lord and me, he has good riding skills and can run errands. He came suddenly, could it be that there was something urgent about his father's place? ”

He immediately passed Xiao Hong in. Xiao Hong sweated profusely and panted into the house, saluted Princess Yan and Xiao Rui, and presented a letter with both hands: "The prince has a letter to the princess and the princess, saying that it is very urgent, urging the princess to rush back to the palace as soon as possible!" ”

Xiao Rui hurriedly took the letter and handed it to Princess Yan. Even if there was something urgent, he had to show the letter to his grandmother first.

Princess Yan quickly opened the letter and read it, her face immediately became gloomy, and she handed the letter to Xiao Rui with a straight face.

Xiao Rui read the letter hastily, and his face was quite heavy. He instructed Xiao Hong: "You go down to rest first, and then call you if there is something later." ”

Xiao Hong grinned and simply retreated.

As soon as he left, there was no one else in the house, and Princess Yan couldn't help but scold: "How can this be reasonable!" Why does Xiao Mingyu have this face?! She knew what she had done back then, how could she still make such a request to the emperor with confidence?! At the beginning, when our Yan Wangfu had no heirs to inherit the incense, the emperor intended to ask the three princes to succeed, what was her attitude at that time? What is the attitude of the three princes? It's simply dismissive! Now that she knows that she is in a bad situation, and the third prince is hopeless, she thinks of us again?! But Mrs. Xiao didn't tell her that the prince already had an heir, why was she embarrassed to say that she wanted to pass on the third prince to our Yan Wangfu?! ”
