Chapter 869: Praise
Xie Mulin finished reading the letter in his hand, put it away again, and looked up at Xie Yingfen: "What does the fourth sister think?" ”
Xie Yingfen pursed her lips: "I don't have any ideas, but the Luo family and husband have defected, which is a good thing for us." At least, my aunt has no way to contact the Cao family in this Beiping City. I don't have to worry about her being stupid again one day and crashing into her father's hands. ”
But she was both glad and disappointed. Luo Niangzi said it so clearly in the letter, Wanqin was still hesitating, it seemed that she still had nostalgia and extravagant hopes for the Cao family, what did her mind think? ! The Cao family is in a difficult position to protect themselves, what else can they help her? She is guilty of staking the hope of the rest of her life for the sake of the Cao family?!
Xie Yingfen doesn't want the so-called high-door marriage that her biological mother expects, she is a small concubine, without the support of the Cao family, and marries into a high-ranking family, only to be angry. Why did she have to take the initiative to find guilt when she had a good life? As for her younger brother Hanzhi, her biological mother Wanqin hopes that he can be a high-ranking official and get ahead, and it is best to bring her the glory of his life. Ke Hanzhi's body, he will be sick in the children's exam, and he may not even be able to survive the township test in the future, and his temperament is gentle and kind, he is not the opponent of those people outside at all, and he can be a teacher in the Zhushan Academy led by the Xie family, and he will be able to be a teacher in peace and stability in the Zhushan Academy led by the Xie family, and he will have no worries about food and clothing all his life, and he will be respected, which is excellent.
If you are lucky, no matter how good Han Zhi's knowledge is, it is not impossible to become the head of the academy. Such an identity is already a celebrity admired by everyone in Huzhou Mansion, not much worse than high-ranking officials and eunuchs, and it is also full of peach and plum all over the world. What's so bad about such a life? Why do you have to work hard and painstakingly outside for the frail little brother?
Xie Yingfen couldn't understand her biological mother Wanqin's standard for the four words "wealth and glory", and she didn't want to sacrifice her lifelong happiness and her younger brother's safety and health for her wishes. Therefore, after getting the letter and knowing what was written in it, she had already crossed Wanqin and made a decision for her biological mother.
She solemnly said to Xie Mulin: "Second sister, Luo Niangzi will find my aunt, the purpose is just to talk to my father, and use my father's way to contact Yan Wangfu, and use the Cao family secrets in my hands in exchange for the safety of their husband and wife in Beiping City." At most, my aunt is just helping to pull a string and build a bridge, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't have her. Now that this letter has fallen into the hands of you and me, why don't we show this letter to my father and ask him to call the shots? ”
Xie Mulin asked her with a smile: "Didn't you promise Aunt Qin not to give the letter to Daddy?" ”
Xie Yingfen's eyes flashed slightly, and she looked away a little uncomfortably: "I didn't, I only gave the letter to the second sister, and it was the second sister who gave the letter to your father." If my aunt wants to blame, she can't blame me. ”
When Xie Mulin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. But she looked at the letter in her hand and thought it would be fine. It's not a problem to stare at Wanqin who has water in her head all day long. If you can get past her and connect with the Cao family's eyes and ears in Beiping City, maybe you can uproot the rest of the Cao family's intelligence bases in the northern border. Wanqin has no other hope, and she must be able to live honestly. The second heir's grandmother, Song, has already mentioned the marriage of Yang Chun and Xie Yingfen to her father Xie Pu, and it must be decided soon. If Wanqin is still making trouble at this time, even if she can only make waves in the inner house, it will be enough to spoil the scenery, why bother to let the elders in the second room see the jokes? This will not be of much benefit to Xie Yingfen's future married life.
Xie Mulin made up his mind in his heart, so he wanted to take Xie Yingfen to see Xie Pu together. Xie Yingfen hesitated: "Will I go ...... Not so good? My aunt must have been very angry when she did such a thing. ”
Xie Mulin said disappreciatively: "There is no mention in this letter that Aunt Qin has done anything bad, isn't it that her father forced a letter to her when she left Beijing, asking her to report the news of the Xie family and Beiping City to the Cao family from time to time?" She hadn't had time to betray anyone at all, and she always went to the dock on the way to find some kind of silk shop, which could also be interpreted as a relief from boredom, but she didn't contact anyone anyway. Even if her father is angry, he will not shout at her and kill her, at most, he will be grounded for a few days and will not tell her to come out to be a demon again.
"Moreover, Aunt Qin's father staying in the Cao family is a hidden danger after all. I don't think Aunt Qin can do it anymore and watch her family suffer from the Cao family. Therefore, our own business house has a communication channel, and we can send an urgent letter to Ye Jinrong, asking him to find a way to keep an eye on the Chengenhou Mansion, once the Cao family falls and the subordinate is sold by the official, the Ye family can be bought immediately, and it will also save your aunt from complaining about the family for this kind of thing in the future. And her father has experienced such an experience, and he will probably no longer encourage your aunt to continue to be loyal to an unlucky Cao family, but may persuade your aunt to make less trouble in the Xie family in order to keep a worry-free life. ”
Xie Yingfen thought about it carefully, and it really made sense, and she suddenly became a lot more positive: "Okay, I'll go see my father." Whether my father believes it or not, I always have to say a few good words for my aunt, just to repay her kindness. ”
The two sisters went to the main courtyard together at night. Xie Pu had just returned from the yamen, and was sitting cross-legged on the kang, eating a late dinner, and he had almost eaten. Seeing his two daughters coming, he was not surprised, so he ordered someone to remove the remnants of the table and retreat left and right, except for his wife Wen and two daughters, no one else was left.
Wen's summoned Luo Niangzi from Qiluo Fang to the house to pick up materials today, he had already heard about it, and he also knew that Luo Niangzi had contact with Wanqin, so he must have gained something from the youngest daughter.
Xie Mulin presented the letter that was almost torn, and Xie Yingfen explained the reason with some trepidation. Although her words are slightly suspected of whitewashing her biological mother, the general facts are still accurate, and she does not make up anything. As soon as Xie Pu heard this, he understood what was happening.
He read the letter twice, chuckled, put it aside, looked up to his two daughters, and said, "You sisters have done a good job in this matter, especially the fourth girl, who is very decisive and sensible, and has made the right choice, and did not let your aunt faint." It is very gratifying to be a father. Although your aunt is confused, she gave birth to a pair of good children, and she is her creation. I will have her grounded for a certain period of time, and she will not be allowed to come and go with anyone around her. When she knows that she is wrong, she is willing to take the initiative to confess to her wife, reflect on her mistakes, and ensure that she will not do it again in the future, so that I can spare her. In this matter, the four girls don't have to intercede for her anymore. I've made up my mind, you just have to take care of Hanzhi and continue to live as calmly as usual. ”
Xie Yingfen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This punishment can be said to be very light, as long as Wanqin does not die, it is no different from not being punished. Wanqin couldn't get out, but their sister and brother could go to see her, and they had enough time to persuade their aunt.
Xie Pu turned to his second daughter Xie Mulin again: "Sister Zhen is also doing a good job." You don't have to worry about the rest of the matter. Anyway, there are people in the Yan Wangfu who will deal with it. In two days' time, Mrs. Huang will come to your door, and then you will be with your sister and help your mother greet the guests. Remember - tell your sister to be cautious, but don't be rude in front of the guests and make people laugh. ”
Xie Mulin suddenly perked up when he heard this.
This is...... Did Huang Yan's mother come to the door to discuss his relatives?
