Xie Mulin coughed lowly and replied apologetically, "Second Brother Xiao...... He didn't mention General Yuan in his letter to me, but I think ...... When he wrote a letter to the prince and princess, he should have talked about the situation of General Xiao Yuan in the capital, right? ”

Conscience of heaven and earth! Xiao Rui really didn't mention Yuan Xie at all! Moreover, Xie Mulin remembered that in the intelligence letter sent from the capital before, it was mentioned that the Queen Mother urged her future grandson-in-law Yuan Xie to return to Beiping with her, and Yuan Xie's return journey had been decided, and there were not only the Queen Mother, but also the family of the eldest princess of Yongning, maybe even the four princes had a share, and they could take advantage of the journey to make good friends with the mother's family of these prospective daughters-in-law, so as to lay a good foundation for him to control the military power in the north in the future. Everything is developing in a good direction, what does the county lord of Yongping have to worry about?

The county lord of Yongping was still a little twisted: "I...... I didn't want to ask about him, but he went to the capital for so long and never wrote back, at most, when my brother wrote to his father, he carried a letter of greeting to help him. But it was addressed to my father! It's just some normal greetings, at most it mentions the matter of the military department, and almost nothing is involved, and I am not mentioned...... Although my father and queen mother thought that such a letter was very common, I always felt a little uncomfortable in my heart...... Why didn't he write to me?! ”

Xie Mulin couldn't help coughing again, thinking that General Yuan Xiao was indeed not smart enough. If no one reminds him that he is a straight man and doesn't think of writing letters or gifts to his fiancée, that's it. However, he asked his future brother-in-law to deliver a letter, and the future brother-in-law Xiao Rui is a person who will write long letters to his fiancée. The lord of Yongping compared the style of his brother and his fiancé, even if he didn't have any ideas in his heart, he would have some ideas.

Xie Mulin could only stubbornly persuade the county lord of Yongping: "Maybe he's embarrassed?" Anyway, if he writes a letter to the prince, the county lord will definitely see it, maybe in his opinion, this is no different from writing a letter to the county lord? I heard that he is a relatively simple-minded person, and most of them don't know how to please girls, right? If the county lord was not satisfied, he simply sent a letter to Second Brother Xiao and asked him to hint at General Yuan. There are some people who can't think of going there if they don't say it clearly and simply! ”

Lord Yongping's face was slightly red, and he seemed to be a little moved, but he quickly calmed down: "This is not good." They're coming back soon, and I won't have to wait long to see him, and then what can't I say to my face? I'm going to write to my brother, but I don't know how he's going to laugh at me! ”

Xie Mulin smiled and said, "How could Second Brother Xiao laugh at the county lord? Didn't he do the same thing? ”

The county lord of Yongping blushed and secretly glanced at her: "Good sister-in-law, you have been coracting with my brother for several years, haven't you?" My brother has long been accustomed to telling you everything in letters, so even if he just goes to the capital for a while, he will write you a long letter back every once in a while. My mother thinks he is really considerate, when my father entered Beijing, he was not so careful and thoughtful, if it is not a serious matter, you need to cooperate with the Beiping side, and you can write a letter to your mother in a month, it is already burning high incense. ”

Xie Mulin laughed dryly, and began to feel embarrassed: "What's this...... It's good to get used to it...... Second Brother Xiao didn't have many friends to discuss things in the past, and if he had any grievances or complaints in his heart, he couldn't tell others, so he could only vent them in the letter. Anyway, when I read the letter, I won't tell anyone indiscriminately, but will solve it for him in the reply. He felt that he was in a much better mood, so he developed this habit. ”

The county lord of Yongping blinked, and suddenly became a little curious: "Is it?" What did my brother say to his sister-in-law in the letter? So what did he say in the letter this time? Is there anything I don't know? What he didn't mention in his letter to his father, the princess, and the princess? ”

Xie Mulin remembered Xiao Rui's manipulation at the emperor's place, and replied very cautiously: "I don't know what Second Brother Xiao said when he wrote a letter to the prince. "Baby

"It's mostly a matter of the court." The lord of Yongping County said, "There are also things in the palace, etc." In fact, it is similar to the previous report from Bandung. It's just that it's hard for Bandung to find out the news of the palace and see the nobles in the palace, so my brother can make up for his shortcomings, but it's still a mess in general. ”

Xie Mulin hesitated for a moment: "In the letter that Second Brother Xiao wrote to me, it was almost like this, but he mentioned relatively little about the affairs of the imperial court, and most of them were rumors in the palace. He probably watched some things that happened in the palace, and he didn't like it in his heart, but he couldn't complain to anyone, so he complained to me in the letter. ”

"Spit out what?" Lord Yongping was stunned for a moment, not understanding her words.

Xie Mulin coughed: "Huh...... Probably ...... Teasing, sarcasm, complaining or something like that, right? A dialect of origin somewhere in the south...... If the county lord doesn't understand, forget it, anyway, Second Brother Xiao will talk to me in the letter...... He commented disapprenantly on the words and deeds of some nobles in the palace, such as the three princes or something......"

The county lord of Yongping suddenly understood, but he also became more and more interested: "Really? I always thought that my brother had a stable temperament, but I didn't expect that there would be chattering times? What did he say in his letter? How did the third prince provoke him again? ”

Xie Mulin wasn't sure if the county lord of Yongping was deliberately inquiring about the content of Xiao Rui's letter to her, but as long as she didn't divulge that secret, she didn't think that Xiao Rui's words had anything to hide from the Yan Wangfu.

She told the truth about the third prince's attitude towards Xiao Rui now, and by the way, she also mentioned Xiao Rui's experience in going to Xiao's house, especially the current situation of Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Lin. Xie Mulin believes that Xiao Rui will probably not mention too much about his adoptive father's family in his letter to his biological father.

The county lord of Yongping really didn't know much about these situations: "No wonder, my brother wanted to write a letter to his sister-in-law, and he also sealed the letter tightly, and specially instructed that no one should be allowed to peek at it, it turned out that he mentioned the matter of the Xiao family in the letter...... In fact, it's nothing, my brother has been in the Xiao family for more than ten years, and General Xiao is his own uncle, so he will have some nostalgia in his heart, which is also human nature. Besides, the Xiao family is not in a good situation now, and it is only when my brother goes back to visit him that it can be regarded as affectionate and righteous. If you really ignore it, there will definitely be people chewing their tongues behind their backs, saying that my brother is a cold-hearted person. ”

The county lord is very familiar with the temperament of some imperial history and civil officials in the imperial court, and over the years, although the king of Yan has won the trust of the emperor, the officials in the court have never stopped criticizing and impeaching him, it seems that a vassal king has military power in his hands, financial power and hegemony on one side, which is an unforgivable sin, completely ignoring the merits of King Yan stationed in the frontier for 20 years, repeatedly repelling enemy troops, and defending the country. Now that King Yan has a son and is about to become his heir, part of the attack on King Yan will definitely fall on his son. This kind of thing has long been expected by the people of the Yan Wangfu.

Lord Yongping didn't care about this kind of thing, but she was very dissatisfied with some of Mrs. Xiao's remarks: "This lady's character is too bad, right?" Obviously, she ignored General Xiao's warning, and she had to let her daughter get close to the Third Highness, and there was a scandal, and she couldn't clean it up...... What did the Lan family say would die in the future or something, if the Lan family didn't die, would she still have to do something? What the hell does she want to do to the Yuan Match wife of the Third Highness?! ”
