sent someone back to Jinling City, and the troubles caused by Xie Yinghui's letter to the Xie family seemed to have come to an end for the time being.

There is an exact notice from the ship, and it will leave early tomorrow morning, so the Xie family will naturally be busy, packing luggage, carrying things, settling accounts with the inn, etc., if there is anything else to buy in Suzhou, you must hurry up.

During the few days that the Xie family stayed in Suzhou, the first two days were also spent shopping and sightseeing. They have been to some of the most famous places of interest. Xie Pu and Wen's honeymoon visited the food shop, they also tasted it. It's just that when they wanted to continue shopping, they encountered a typhoon and had to cancel the trip. Now that they are going to set off again, they will miss the places of interest and gourmet shops that they have not been able to check in, which is a pity to think about.

Xie Mulin smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, Huyin is not very far from Suzhou, and when we return to the capital in the future, there will always be a chance to come again." If this time, we will play all over Suzhou and leave no regrets, then the next time we come back, won't it be boring? We have to leave a few places of interest for the next time we visit. ”

Xie Jinzhi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it: "The second sister said as if it was easy to come back to Suzhou." It's always good to have this kind of heart. Maybe it won't take a few years for my eldest brother and I to return to Jinling by boat again? When the time comes, won't there be a chance to come to Suzhou again? ”

He and Xie Xianzhi glanced at each other, and they both showed confident smiles. Only Xie Huizhi's expression was a little subtle, he felt that if he could only pass through Suzhou again by returning to Beijing to take the exam, he might have to wait for ten or twenty years......

Isn't it time to think of something else?

Packing up is a matter that is handled by the next people, but in fact, there is no need to worry too much about the Xie family. When they went ashore to the guest house, they didn't actually take all their luggage off the boat. The boat company has its own exclusive berth at Suzhou Wharf, and the ship is also guarded by the servants of the Xie family, so she is not afraid of any mistakes. It doesn't take much effort to get things back on the ship these days.

Wen thought that he would take someone to visit Shiquanli again while there was still half a day, buy more special products, and bring them back to his hometown to make gifts for relatives and friends in the clan. Xie Xianzhi discussed with Xie Jinzhi, and decided to take Xie Hanzhi with him, and then browse the two bookstores that he had not visited nearby, and come back with a few more books. After all, Suzhou is a big city, a prosperous place of literature, and the book resources here are better than most of the towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xie Mulin also decided to go to the bookstore with the three brothers, and skillfully changed into men's clothes automatically, standing side by side with the fourth brother Xie Hanzhi, looking like he was an elder brother. Xie Huiyi had a headache when he heard the book, and volunteered to help Wen, as for where he would sneak on the way...... Can the Wen family still control him?

In the evening, the Xie family returned with a full load, and everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces.

Xie Mulin also found a lot of good books today, and they are not the kind of broken books used as a trick, but really valuable new books and old books, from medicine and health care to science and technology, technology, geography and farming. Although she had only briefly flipped through the books, she could tell that the contents were full of words. Don't look at the books that sell ordinarily and the prices are not high, but that's just because the readers in Suzhou prefer books that are useful for the imperial examination, or books about poetry and songs. This kind of practical reference book is not popular, and it happens to be cheap for her.

Xie Mulin returned to the inn in a good mood, still thinking in her heart that with these books, the books in her study space were very likely to be completely integrated with the knowledge of this era. In the future, when her family asks her about the notes she copied, she will no longer have to worry about how to explain the origin of the above "novelty" claims, and she will have more confidence to fool people.

The brothers and sisters of the Xie family returned to the yard of their bag with a smile, but found that Xie Huizhi had already returned early, arguing with a few people in front of the courtyard with a displeased face. Xie Xianzhi suddenly paused, Xie Jinzhi also quickly recognized the person, sighed secretly, and whispered to Xie Xianzhi: "Big brother, why don't you go to the nearby teahouse to rest first?" Buy some snacks and come back, it's good to make breakfast tomorrow, otherwise the whole family will be in a hurry to go out of the city tomorrow morning, and I'm afraid that it will be too late to cook. ”

Xie Xianzhi smiled bitterly: "Second brother doesn't have to be like this. I know what these people are going to do, so I just ignore them. I didn't have the skills to meddle in those things. ”

It was none other than some of the shopkeepers and guys that the Xie family had hired in the Suzhou store before.

On the same day, Xie Pu transferred his own property to the name of Pingnanbofu, and Pingnanbo sent someone to take over, except for some of the shopkeepers and men who were loyal to the Xie family, and did not want to switch to the Cao family, so they went to Jinling City to join Xie Pu at their own expense. Xie Pu had a plan in his heart, and he never had anything to do with these people, but he was successfully released from prison, reinstated, and promoted, but he also took advantage of the old relationship and placed some "people" in it.

The newcomers and the old people and the people sent by Pingnanbofu were also safe, and they thought that they would serve under Pingnanbo from now on. Where did you think that the wind turned around, Ping Nanbo died violently, and the best-run stores in Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places were transferred to the name of Chengenhou, and the people in the store were once again facing a reshuffle.

Except for a few notoriously shrewd and capable shopkeepers and associates, as well as newcomers who had not yet been marked by the Pingnan Bofu, almost all the people in the shop were swept away by the principals who came to take over the property from the Chengenhou Mansion. The people of Pingnan Bofu can also return to Beijing to repay their mother, and those who have betrayed the Xie family are difficult to find a new job even in Suzhou City.

At this time, the Xie family passed by Suzhou and was discovered by them, so they came to the door. They are far away, and they don't know what happened to Ping Nanbo's death, but when the Xie family is in decline, the Cao family is still beautiful, if Xie Xianzhi, the nephew of the Cao family, can say a few good words for them, they can still go back to the shop to do things.

However, Xie Xianzhi couldn't help at all. Whether it is subjective will or objective conditions, there is no room for him to speak as a half-grown child in this matter.

He refused to come again and again, and those people always refused to give up, and now he heard that the Xie family was leaving, and he came to ask again, but Xie Xianzhi's answer was impossible to change.

In the end, they were still blown away by the help of the people in the inn, but Xie Xianzhi was much lower by their trouble.

The next morning, the fleet set off again, and the Xie family moved back to the ship and continued with them along the canal to Huyin. The rainy weather slowed down their journey, but five days later, the weather cleared, the boat sailed much smoother, and the fleet finally arrived at Pingwang Town, where the three canals meet. Here, the Xie family will part ways with the fleet, and the latter will continue south to Hangzhou, while the Xie family will turn into the Ditang Canal to Huyin.

No longer has to be restricted by the fleet itinerary, and the Xie family has a lot of freedom to move. Seeing that it was getting late, Wen asked the captain to inform the captain that he would spend the night on the dock tonight to replenish the water and set off early tomorrow morning.

There was nothing to do on the boat, and Xie Huizhi heard that Pingwang Town was also very lively, so he took the little guy ashore to hang out. Xie Mulin was discussing with his brothers whether to go ashore to have a look, when he heard Xie Huizhi calling them outside in some panic.

She hurriedly got out of the cabin and took a look: "What's wrong with the third brother?" What's going on......"

Before she finished speaking, her eyes widened.

Xie Huizhi stood on the dock, behind him stood Pearl who had only been separated from them half a month ago, full of haggardness, and smiled at her: "Second girl, I can be regarded as waiting for you!" ”
