Xie Yingrong knelt down in front of Xie Mulin with a thud, startling her: "Third sister, what are you doing?" ”

Xie Yingrong hugged her leg and said with tears in her eyes: "Second sister, I was calculated!" That little girl is framing me! Now the eldest sister regards me as the culprit, but I really didn't let that lock escape back to Pingnan Bochu! I just thought that we were about to leave the capital, and I couldn't bear to be friends, so I asked Suo'er to go to Bian's house for me to pass a message when he went out to run errands and buy things one day! ”

Xie Mulin pushed her hand away with some disgust: "I know, I know, you can figure this out for yourself, it's not too stupid." Now the eldest sister also knows that Suo'er is using you as a shield, so you don't have to kneel and cry in front of me. I really know it's wrong, so I'll be honest in the future, and it's best to go to the eldest sister to make amends. If you see her, you can be as low as you are to me now, no matter how the eldest sister scolds, you will sincerely accept it and sincerely repent, and I don't think the eldest sister will do anything to you. Xie Yinghui has never taken Xie Yingrong in her eyes, as long as she scolds her.

Xie Yingrong choked and said dryly: "Second sister, I can't go out now...... The eldest sister won't come to see me......"

Xie Mulin waved his hand: "If you really have the heart, you can write a letter of apology to the eldest sister." As long as you let the eldest sister know that you are truly repentant, and you will be honest and obedient in the future, and no longer be a demon, she will not have time to worry about you. ”

Xie Yingrong bowed his head and answered, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and sobbed quietly: "I'm afraid that the eldest sister won't forgive me......" and then as if he had made up his mind, he obviously bit his lip before choking and said, "In order to prove my innocence, second sister, please tell the eldest sister, I will give her an idea, we don't live at home anymore, let's borrow it from the inn near Bao'en Temple in advance, how about it?" Anyway, we have to go over sooner or later, and if we go earlier, we can also avoid the people of Pingnanbofu. I know that the eldest sister is often worried about the people coming to his house, so she just hides out! ”

Xie Mulin raised his eyebrows and specially glanced at Xie Yingrong a few more times.

It is impossible for this girl to make such a suggestion for no reason, although it sounds quite reasonable, but as long as she does it, it is impossible not to have her purpose, and people have to guard against it.

So Xie Mulin didn't answer and asked: "Who did you ask that girl named Suo'er to pass on to the Bian family?" What did they say? ”

Xie Yingrong choked for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "I didn't say anything, it's just ...... That is to say, I am almost well from my illness, and someone from my hometown will take us back, and I want to see Miss Bian again, so I ...... So let her come and visit me......" She bit her lip, "Actually, I originally wanted to go to Bian's house in person, but my sisters didn't allow me to go out, so I had to send a letter to Miss Bian and ask her to come and see me...... With her conveying my greetings to Mrs. Bian and the rest of the Bian family on my behalf, and then resigning for me, the etiquette can be justified. ”

"Really?" Xie Mulin thought for a while, "Then how long did you make an appointment with Miss Bian?" If a guest comes to the door, the eldest sister and I have to arrange it for you, so as to save you from losing your dignity in front of the guest. Beeswax has never learned the rules seriously since she came to our house, and although the peach is good, you refuse to use her. I'll simply lend you the green banana, and then ask the eldest sister to borrow two mothers-in-law to come over, responsible for guiding the way, boiling tea, making snacks or something, it's almost the same. What kind of tea and snacks does Miss Bian like? When you ask someone to go and buy, you should do what you like. ”

Xie Yingrong's face changed, and his smile was a little unnatural: "This ...... Wouldn't this be too much trouble for the sisters? I know that the eldest sister has been busy recently, and the second sister only brought a green banana to Beijing and lent it to me, who will the second sister call? I still have my aunt here, and Miss Bian has always been familiar with me, so I don't care about these. ”

Xie Mulin said: "How does this work? Our family is also a three-grade official eunuch, and we can't lose our dignity when receiving guests. Don't worry, I still have a peach there, and the green banana will leave for an hour, and I can't miss anything. That's it, I'll go back and mention it to the eldest sister, and the third sister just rest assured. But remember, solemnly apologize for a while, no matter how the eldest sister scolds, you must obediently obey. As long as the eldest sister is smooth, she won't mind lending someone to call you for half a day. ”

She stared at Xie Yingrong: "You can't do such a trivial thing, right?" It's for the sake of your face in front of your friends. Since you value Miss Bian so much, you must also want to treat her well, right? ”

Of course, Xie Yingrong hopes to have a better face in front of Miss Bian, which will help the latter maintain a good impression of her, but ...... really borrowed the girl-in-law under her sisters, can she still talk to Miss Bian in private? She didn't want their conversation to reach her sisters' ears.

But she couldn't refuse. The second sister Xie Yingzhen's eyes seemed to see through her purpose, which made her secretly frightened. Before she achieves her goal, she can't let the two sisters be suspicious, otherwise, they are likely to do what the eldest sister Xie Yinghui did before, even if the Bian family comes, she won't let her see it, let alone have a conversation, so what does she have to do with so much effort?!

However, if the second sister really arranged like this, and Miss Bian came, and they couldn't talk privately, then how could she achieve her goal?

Just when Xie Yingrong was hesitating, Xie Mulin inadvertently mentioned: "The Bian family doesn't know if they're in the mood to pay attention to you recently, if Miss Bian can't come to visit, you don't have to be too disappointed." Write a letter seriously, write down everything you want to say, and attach one or two copies of the needlework you made or something, as a farewell gift, whether it is for Mrs. Bian or for Miss Bian, I guess the people of the Bian family will not care about these customs and etiquette with you. If Miss Bian can spare time, she may be able to catch up with the pier to give you a ride. ”

Xie Yingrong's face suddenly changed again, and she barely squeezed out a smile: "That's a pity, I hope to talk to my friends for a while." If Miss Bian can come to see me, with the people borrowed by my sisters, I will be able to entertain her well, so that I can leave no regrets! ”

She accepted Xie Mulin's arrangement, no matter what she wanted to do, she had to meet people first.

Xie Mulin smiled and disagreed: "Okay, let's wait for the Bian family's reply." But to be honest, his family really may not be in this mood at the moment. ”

Xie Yingrong heard her mention this for the second time, and couldn't help but be curious: "Why? Is there anything important about his family these days? ”

"I don't know if it's a matter of concern for their family." Xie Mulin dusted off his sleeves and looked at Xie Yingrong with a look full of meaning, "It's just that the grandson of their family, the eldest young master Cheng Ducheng you also know, fell into the water and fell ill." I heard that he has been recuperating from his illness throughout the New Year, and he is really sick, and he doesn't know when he will get better. ”

Xie Yingrong was stunned, his eyes immediately showed a hint of joy, and he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth for a while: "Is this true?!" However, she soon discovered her gaffe, and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and choked up, "Is he seriously ill?" Okay, why did you get sick like this?! ”

Xie Mulin stared at her face, and suddenly felt that her reaction was very interesting.
