Chapter 236: Letters

Suzhou is not far from Jinling City. The Xie family had to take the waterway and make a big circle because they followed the fleet, and it took several days to arrive in Suzhou.

Now that there is a problem with the transaction of the ship, the person in charge of the fleet needs to send an urgent letter back to Jinling City to ask the owner of the ship, so he can't take the waterway, but takes the land route instead, and the horse rushes back, if it goes well, it will take less than two days.

If the Xie family moves fast enough, they still have time to ask the messenger to bring a letter back to Jinling, and they only need to pay a little more errand fees. This is the private business of the messenger, and as long as it does not delay the business, the people of the ship will not care.

Wen told the juniors about the matter, and Xie Xianzhi immediately decided to write a letter to his sister Xie Yinghui to report her safety, and by the way, he gave her some small gifts he had bought these days. There are not many things, and too much will slow down the messenger's journey, and the latter will not agree.

Xie Jinzhi discussed with Xie Mulin, and decided to write a text message to Xie Yinghui, asking her about her current situation and whether Mrs. Xie at home was still afraid of that unnecessary thing. In addition, I have to write another letter to the shopkeeper Mao, informing him of the shopping mall news they have heard in several big cities and towns recently, which is also convenient for him to find new sources of goods and sales channels.

Xie Huizhi wanted to write a text message greeting to Aunt Dajin, but he didn't bring anything. Almost all of his money is used to buy all kinds of goods, and he has no extra money to do anything else until he clears the goods.

Xie Yingfen wanted to give some small gifts to her two sisters, but she didn't have time to do so, so she had to ask Xie Mulin to borrow some special products such as Changzhou comb grates and embroidered handkerchiefs, and take a small box to pack and send over.

In less than an hour, the messenger of the ship line took the letter from the person in charge and the letter and gift from the Xie family, rode out of the city gate of Suzhou, and went straight to the direction of Jinling.

The Xie family who stayed in Suzhou City seized this rare few days of leisurely vacation to enjoy the scenery and food of Suzhou City.

Two days later, Xie Yinghui, who stayed in the Xie family's mansion in Pearl Bridge in Jinling City, received a letter from her brothers and sisters.

She was very surprised, it stands to reason that the Xie family has only been gone for a few days, at least until they arrive in Huyin County and settle down, they will write back to Beijing to report their safety, but they didn't expect to hear from them so soon. She opened Xie Xianzhi's letter first and read it, only to know that they were temporarily stranded in Suzhou, so they had time to write to her, and by the way, they brought some small gifts.

She asked Onyx to open the bag of gifts to show herself, and found that they were all delicate knick-knacks, which she could usually use, although they were not valuable, but they were rare pieces that suited her preferences, and I think they were carefully selected by her brothers and sisters for her.

Xie Yinghui was in a good mood and instructed Onyx: "Put these things away for me, I will have leisure another day, and then enjoy it carefully." He called Lu Qi in, "Give the messenger a first-class red envelope, thank him for his hard work." There is no male at home to support the door, so it is inconvenient to leave him to rest and drink tea, give him two strings of money, and let him go to a nearby foot shop. ”

Lu Qi answered, took two strings of money out, and came back after a while and said: "That person thanked Miss Xie for the reward, saying that he had a boat messenger on his body and a place to stay, thank you for thinking about it." ”

Xie Yinghui smiled and called agate again: "Take out the box and grate, and I will go to the Yongning Eldest Princess's Mansion as a guest the day after tomorrow, and bring it over by the way, so that Ma Yurong and Lu Feiyun can also pick one." They have never left the Jinling realm since they were children, and they don't know if they have seen these little things. ”

Onyx responded, and said: "Those two girls are all famous ladies, Miss Ma is still the daughter of the eldest princess, what haven't you seen?" Changzhou is not far away, and there are also shops selling Changzhou specialties in Jinling City, and the eldest lady also brought this thing over, and she is not afraid of the jokes of the two girls? ”

Xie Yinghui said disapprerovingly: "Whatever they think, what does it matter to me what is sold in the store outside?" What I brought to them is my heart. If they really dislike me, I'll dislike them for being vulgar! ”

Onyx smiled, and was about to speak, but Leng might as well be preempted by Lu Qi: "Miss is going to the eldest princess's mansion the day after tomorrow, and she will go out of the city with the eldest princess and Miss Ma to go to Zhuangzi for summer vacation, and I don't know how many days I will live outside." Isn't the old lady going to say hello herself? ”

Xie Yinghui snorted coldly: "She is out of the city, and she didn't call me, let alone mention where she lives, even if I have the heart to report it, where can I find someone?!" The third sister is yin and yang all day long, and I feel uncomfortable when I look at her, so I don't want to find myself boring! Anyway, I have already told Jiang's mother and Cai Laotian about this, and they will report the matter to the old lady. If the old lady is really unreasonable, if you have to blame me, I will argue with her! As an elder, he went out of the city alone to escape the summer, didn't even say hello, left his granddaughter and left, is this reasonable?! ”

Xie Yinghui felt angry when she thought of this. Even if she was impatient to see Mrs. Xie, she didn't want to be controlled by Mrs. Xie, but she would move back to the Xie family's mansion instead of finding another house to live in, just because following the elders could avoid a lot of gossip. However, Mrs. Xie quietly left her two young granddaughters at home, ran away by herself, and didn't know where she went, saying that she was a summer vacation, but she didn't even leave the address at home, which was really unreasonable. Xie Yinghui wanted to ask Xie Yingrong, but the latter still pretended to be mysterious, as if he was watching out for her or something, which made people even more angry!

Doesn't she just have a family surnamed Cao? But now that she is about to turn her face with the Cao family, and even the Pingnanbo Mansion has almost cut off contact, what else does Xie Yingrong have to watch out for her? Mrs. Xie is even more disrespectful to the old!

Since even her grandmother is no longer at home, Xie Yingrong's attitude is not good, Xie Yinghui simply agreed to Ma Yurong's invitation and went out of the city to escape the summer.

The weather these days is really hot and humid, and the Xie family didn't prepare ice cubes this year, so they bought them from outside temporarily, and they couldn't buy much at all. Xie Yinghui couldn't stand it anymore. In previous years, she had to go to the mountains to escape the summer, but this year she couldn't go to the Cao family's summer resort, and it was not bad to go to the eldest princess's place, and she could get closer to the two new best friends.

Xie Yinghui happily decided on the plan to escape the summer. She didn't know that when the news reached the old lady Xie who was living in seclusion outside the city through Xie Yingrong's letter, it really scared her old man.

Mrs. Xie looked at the letter from her third granddaughter with some trembling, it was written that the Yongning Eldest Princess's Mansion had been suspicious of the Xie family, and she had frequently sent people to contact Xie Yinghui recently, to inquire about the news from her, and even made an excuse to invite her to be with her daughter, and sent someone to take the Xie sisters to live in the summer Zhuangzi of the Eldest Princess's Mansion. It is said that only the sisters of the Xie family were invited, and even the girl of the Lu family, who was the best friend of Ma Yurong, did not see any movement to go out.

Xie Yingrong warned Mrs. Xie that the eldest princess of Yongning was probably going to attack the Xie family, and asked Mrs. Xie not to go back to the Xie family's mansion or to the city. If you can, pack your bags and run away as soon as possible! She really can't say when the eldest princess of Yongning will make a post to Mrs. Xie!
