After listening to Xie Huizhi's words, Xie Xianzhi didn't speak for a long time, just sat for a long time, his expression gloomy.

Xie Mulin couldn't bear to look at it, so he had to try to divert his attention: "This matter hasn't spread for the time being, but since the Cao family has intervened, the Cao and Lin families are fighting fiercely right now, and once the Lin family is at a disadvantage, maybe they will poke this matter out." Shall we hurry up and persuade the eldest sister to go back to her hometown to avoid it? Otherwise, she is in the capital, and often follows the Ma family girl in and out of various social occasions, although in this way, she has something to rely on, and she is not afraid of being bullied by others, but it is inevitable that she will be affected by her biological mother and gossip. ”

Xie Xianzhi woke up, and his sister's heart immediately attacked: "The second sister is right. This matter can't be delayed, and the eldest sister must be allowed to leave the capital as soon as possible! "Anyway, the family business in Pingnanbo's Mansion is hopeless, and leaving early will save you from being involved in the circle of right and wrong again. The Cao family no longer regards their brothers and sisters as their closest relatives, and there is no need for them to stay and share their weal and woe.

Xie Jinzhi said: "Ming'er, we will send someone to send a letter to Beijing, and by the way, we will also report safety to Beijing." Previously, our Huyin was flooded again, and there was an epidemic or something, and if the eldest sister heard the news, she would be very worried. ”

"We had sent her a letter before the flood came, but nothing had happened at that time. I estimate that the news of Huyin County's safety should also be transmitted to Beijing, and the family will send a letter to the eldest sister, which can just avoid her worries. ”

Xie Xianzhi nodded, but he had another concern: "The grandmother of the Cao family is seriously ill, and the eldest sister is afraid that she will not be able to let go of her old man, so I will write a letter to her personally." After a pause, "What reason should I think of to coax her back?" It's always hard for her to know the truth, then she will be even more uncomfortable, but there is no one around to comfort her. ”

Xie Mulin disagreed: "It's better for the eldest brother to tell the truth, otherwise the eldest sister may not know how important the matter is, and she will procrastinate and want to stay in the capital until the Duchess Cheng'en recovers, then I don't know how long it will take." Besides, when we get the news, we all hear it from others, whether it is that Mu Yanshi or Xiao Ergongzi, what we know is not necessarily the real truth. It's the eldest sister in Beijing who has the opportunity to find out the truth. The eldest sister can ask the people of the Chengenhou Mansion to see if Fang Wenshan and the biological mother of the eldest brother and sister really did those things in Shaanxi. ”

Xie Xianzhi said gloomily: "Why bother to ask? What can I do if I hear the news? It's just polluting our ears. ”

Xie Mulin said: "That's not what I said. Big brother, if your biological mother is really married to Fang Wenshan, or is she the one who is married by Ming Media and is recognized and protected by the law, then whether you and your eldest sister want to or not, Fang Wenshan is your stepfather. If he commits any great sin, God knows if it will affect you? Besides, Shaanxi is very far away from Beiping, but the matter of Fang Wenshan has made Yanwangfu come forward, do you think the people in Beiping will hear the wind? Daddy is still an official there, he and your biological mother have been husband and wife for more than ten years, and there are more people who know about it. Your biological mother and Fang Wenshan made such a big move, do you think your father will be gossiped about in Beiping? ”

Xie Xianzhi's face changed greatly when he heard this: "Second sister reminded me, this matter really can't be ignored!" He hesitated and hesitated, although he couldn't bear to let his sister know about his biological mother's scandal, and he was sad and sad, but he still couldn't hide it from her. The Xie family also needs her sister to try to inquire about the inside story before leaving the capital.

Xie Xianzhi felt very uncomfortable. When Mother Cao was doing these things, why couldn't she think more about their brothers and sisters? Think more about my grandmother who is still seriously ill in Jingzhong? Could it be that she really didn't care about anything for Fang Wenshan? Close relatives, flesh and blood, in her eyes, are all inferior to Fang Wenshan's interests?

Xie Xianzhi didn't sleep well this night, he spent the whole night thinking about the letter to his sister, scrapped one piece of paper after another, and just wrote a long letter to his family when the sky was about to dawn, and persuaded his sister to return to her hometown.

Xie Mulin and Xie Jinzhi also went to Beijing with their respective letters, and Xie Jinzhi mainly spoke for the Wen family. and Xie Huizhi also wrote a letter to Aunt Dajin, mainly to persuade her to stop being stupid, and to get Xie Yingrong back from the Bian family, she really offended the family, let alone marry Cheng Du, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Xie Yingrong to marry a decent person, and the marriage of the children in the family will be decided by his father Xie Pu after all!

Wen Shi heard that the children sent a letter to Jingzhong, and he didn't think much about it, just read Xie Jinzhi's letter and it was over, anyway, his son said everything she wanted to say, and there was no need to add two more sentences, but he needed to bring a few medicinal materials to prevent and treat wind and cold into Jingzhong by the way, so that Xie Yinghui could pay attention to his body. She still thought in her heart that Xie Yinghui would not return to her hometown so easily, and she was ready to come back after the spring of next year.

The messenger departed before noon. This is the own servant sent by the Xie family, not the guy from the shop - it is really Xie Xianzhi's brothers and sisters, and he can't wait for the men under the shopkeeper Mao to go south to buy the goods. However, the courier sent by the family also has the advantage, that is, the journey will be faster, and the trip will not be delayed due to shopping and delivery.

As soon as the letter was sent away, Xie Xianzhi also breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole mind was in a trance. Wen didn't know that he hadn't slept all night, and seeing that he was not in good spirits, he was afraid that he was tired from assisting in flood control in the academy before, so he helped him and Xie Jinzhi to take a few days off from the gentlemen of the academy, so that they could rest at home and make up for it.

Although Xie Xianzhi understood that Wen's was well-intentioned, his idle life also made him at a loss. In the past few months, he has been busy reading every day, and he has long been idle. Now that he is not allowed to read, he doesn't know what to do, so he stays in the room for a long time, and then goes to talk to his brothers.

Who knew that Xie Jinzhi accompanied the Wen family to the sect to ask for peace, Xie Huizhi didn't know where to run, but there were still two sisters, four sisters and four brothers at home, but the two little ones had their own homework to do, so he had to find the second sister Xie Mulin.

It just so happened that Xie Mulin was wearing men's clothes, neat and neat, and was about to go out.

Although Xie Xianzhi had long heard that his second sister had often worn men's clothes for the convenience of her movements, it was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes, and she was in a trance for a while, before she woke up and said with a smile: "My sister is very handsome in this dress." If he hadn't known that it was his sister, the foolish brother would have thought that a cousin in the clan had come to the door. ”

Xie Mulin smiled and saluted him as a scholar is customary, and said, "It would look strange to wear men's clothes as writhing and pinching as when I wore women's clothes, so I try to imitate the way my brothers usually behave and talk." Even if the elders of the clan knew that I was a girl, they often treated me like a boy. When the flood came, everyone was very busy, and I didn't want them to be distracted by the fact that I was a girl, so I advised them that when I wore men's clothes, they would treat me as a nephew, and call me Mullin, not a real sister. The elders agreed, and praised me for my ability. Sometimes my brothers would teach me how to walk and talk so that I could look more like. If my eldest brother really mistook me for a boy, it would prove that I had learned well. ”

Xie Xianzhi only thought that his sister was greedy for fun, so he laughed and praised her, and said: "If I knew this, I should have told my eldest sister about it in the letter." Maybe she'll be interested and want to go back to our hometown to join us. ”

Xie Mulin smiled: "I already told her in the letter. ”

As the brother and sister were talking, they suddenly heard someone report from them: "The third young master has invited a Master Xiao to the house, and the young masters are invited to meet each other." ”
