Xie Yingfen was about to explain the ins and outs of the matter to Xie Mulin, when she suddenly heard someone talking outside the window.

Listening carefully, there was another guest, and Cuijiao was greeting the visitor: "Why is the big girl here?" At night, you don't bring a girl, so you come with a lantern by yourself, what if you slip along the way? ”

Xie Mulin and Xie Yingfen glanced at each other, and hurriedly got off the kang in surprise to welcome them outside.

Sure enough, it was Xie Yinghui who came.

She carried a lantern alone and wore a thick stone blue hooded cloak. Xiang Tao took off her cloak for her, and the Xie Mulin sisters found that she was wearing a homely thick cotton long armor, revealing an autumn-colored brocade jacket inside, and a half-worn velvet skirt tied underneath.

Xie Mulin hurriedly pulled Xie Yinghui into the warm pavilion and put on the kang, and stuffed his hand stove to her. Xie Yingfen poured tea for the eldest sister and said angrily: "Why did the eldest sister come over like this?" During the day, on the way back, you complained that the wind gave you a headache! What if I get really sick?! ”

Xie Yinghui smiled, put the tea on the kang table, hugged the hand stove and said: "I heard Lu Qi say, when I saw you bring Ginkgo biloba to the courtyard of the second sister, I knew that you must have told her about Wanqin meeting the Ye family today." The really important news, the Ye family had already told Zhao Fengnian before, what else could Wanqin ask from them? is nothing more than the news of everyone in the Cao family, especially the situation of the ladies in the back house. In the end, it's my uncle's family, although I'm not happy to deal with people like them, but after all, I still have my own mother there, and no matter how disgusted I am, I can't let it go. I came here by myself, and I didn't bring anyone with me, so as to save the news from leaking and causing some trouble. ”

Xie Mulin said: "Even if the eldest sister wants to know these things, there is no need to be in such a hurry, I will tell you tomorrow." Even if you want to ask tonight, you can dress warmly and bring an extra confidant. You don't want anyone else to hear our sisters' conversation, so it's a big deal to leave them with my girl. Ginkgo biloba is in the small kitchen, Xiao Tao and Qingcheng are accompanied, half of the extra words can't be heard, and they need to be called over when they need to be asked, what news can be leaked? When you run out alone at night, I don't know if you have left a message for the people waiting in the house, what if you fall along the way? Even if you don't fall, if the wind blows a little harder, you will be sick tomorrow. Isn't it bad luck to celebrate the New Year?! ”

Xie Yinghui pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I know it's wrong." Good sister, stop complaining about me, I promise never to do it again in the future! ”

Xie Yingfen sighed: "I just thought that I just heard the news from Ginkgo, so I hurriedly came over to discuss with the second sister first, and I didn't hide it from the eldest sister." You didn't have much energy when you came back today, I don't want to disturb you, I'll definitely go to you tomorrow. ”

Xie Yinghui waved her hand: "I know that I bullied you a lot when I was a child, and you are naturally closer to your second sister in your heart." I don't have much to worry about. Without further ado, where did you just talk? ”

Xie Yingfen told her honestly, and Xie Yinghui frowned: "Cao Wenyan? Although she served her grandmother with illness, she didn't really care much...... Well, what am I doing with her? She is not really filial, but she was forced to come by her third aunt. I haven't paid any attention to my grandmother's news since her funeral, but I remember that she was raised in the Cheng'en Mansion. Although she may be angry a lot, the Chengenhou Mansion must be useful to her, and she will not be treated harshly than the third aunt. ”

Xie Yingfen smiled and said: "If you talk about daily diet and daily life, Chengenhou Mansion will naturally not treat her harshly. She is not the concubine of Chengenhou, what does Mrs. Chengenhou have to worry about her? ”

"Compared to Cao Wenfeng, her life is indeed much better." Xie Yinghui tilted her head, "Who is the family that the Chengenhou Mansion told her?" ”

Xie Yingfen said: "Speaking of that family, you may still remember it, big sister." Before our family was copied, I had heard that the Yang family, the only son of the southwest family, was weak and sick, and Master Yang wanted to marry a young lady of the Cao family for his son, but for this candidate, he quarreled for a long time and did not decide. Cheng Enhou wanted Cao Wenfeng to marry, Cao Wenfeng stared at the position of the crown princess of the East Palace, she was not happy, she would rather give it to Cao Wenyan, but Mrs. Ping Nanbo was not happy to let the concubine take advantage of her......"

Xie Yinghui remembered, and her face darkened slightly: "I know about this, but then something happened in our family, I followed my mother back to Pingnanbo's Mansion, and the third aunt even made up my mind!" She didn't want to keep her promise and let Cao Wenheng marry me, and she took a fancy to the Yang family's rich property and wanted to marry me to the Yang family's sick seedling. She can use my hand to sweep away the Yang family's wealth, just like dealing with our Xie family! ”

Xie Mulin and Xie Yingfen were both taken aback, and the former hurriedly said: "This abacus is too fine!" Mrs. Ping Nanbo didn't end well now, and it was really all retribution! ”

Xie Yinghui sneered, and said, "In the end, did this family affair still fall on Cao Wenyan's head?" That's it, but Cao Wenyan still had a heavy filial piety at that time, and she was also young - she was two years younger than me! How can I marry the Yang family? And the Yang family is frail and sickly, and he may die at any time. Master Yang plans to marry his only son as soon as possible, so that he can hold his grandson as soon as possible and inherit his own incense, so as not to cheapen the people of the side tribe because of the big family. How could he be willing to set Cao Wenyan for his son who could not get married immediately? Could it be that the Cao family forced him to agree? ”

Xie Yingfen said: "According to Ye Laogao's wife, this marriage, at that time, Master Yang had already made the idea to the girl in the next room of the Cao family, and I heard that there was a girl who even changed the Geng post, but she insisted that Mrs. Chengenhou forced her to change Cao Wenyan. But Mrs. Chengenhou also knew that Cao Wenyan had to keep filial piety, and she was young, at least she had to be filial to get married, in case the young master of the Yang family couldn't wait, she really died, and cut off the incense of the Yang family, so she picked a family girl from the house and sent it over to the young master Yang as a concubine. If this concubine can give birth to a son and a half daughter for the Yang family, it will also be recorded in Cao Wenyan's name in the future. Regardless of whether Cao Wenyan has children or not, he will ensure that the Yang family's property will not fall into the hands of others! ”

Xie Yinghui couldn't help but sneer again: "This calculation is too fine!" The eldest aunt has taken a fancy to the huge wealth of the Yang family, and she is reluctant to let this wealth cheapen the niece of the side branch! What is Cao Wenyan? It's just a pitiful little who can be rubbed by others, and naturally only obedient! ”

Xie Mulin guessed the result a few points later: "Cao Wenyan married after her filial piety last year, right?" But didn't get pregnant? Did the young master of the Yang family pass away? ”

Xie Yingfen sighed and nodded: "After she became filial, Mrs. Chengenhou prepared a dowry and a large number of companions, and rushed all the way to the southwest to complete the marriage." It's a pity that she was unlucky, and when she arrived at the place, the groom was sick all the time, and he never set a wedding date, and finally he died! Before she passed the door, she became a widow and called her husband's family to rush back! ”
