Chapter 832: Lookout
Wen took people back to the boat to carry the old lady Xie.
There are many carriages on the dock, all of which Xie Pu ordered people to drive over to pick up people, but the Xie family's ship also has several carriages that they are used to at home, which come in handy at this time. The carriage brought by Xie Pu needs to be carried, which is time-consuming and laborious, but a few elders and brothers and sisters with weak physiques can be arranged in the carriage brought by Xie Pu first. There are people in the luggage, and Zhao Fengnian and Ma Luyao, two capable people who have been promoted to the chief housekeeper, are staring, so there is no need for Xie Mulin to worry about it. She first arranged for the elders in the second room and the Yang family brothers and sisters to get in the car.
His own brothers and sisters were assigned by the eldest sister Xie Yinghui to get into the car. Aunt Dajin very quickly followed Xie Yingrong and Xie Yingfen into the carriage of the same car, and by the way, pulled the absent-minded Wanqin up. Xie Hanzhi was with his brothers.
Xie Mulin arranged the mother and daughter of the Song family and Xie Meijun, checked the brazier for heating in the car and the hot tea that Xie Pu's subordinates had just taken from the rest room of the officers and soldiers stationed at the dock, and made sure that there was no problem, before getting out of the car.
She turned her head and saw that about fifty or sixty meters ahead, her father Xie Pu was talking to King Yan among a lantern, and Xiao Rui was standing beside King Yan, bowing his head slightly, looking obedient and steady. The light was bright, and his face was very clear. Xie Mulin's eyes were very good, and when he saw his appearance, he couldn't help but stare at him a few more times, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, at this time, Xiao Rui also happened to look up in her direction, and I don't know if he really saw her, and showed a faint smile.
Xie Mulin couldn't help but look around her, the lights here were a little dim, naturally not as bright as the team of Yanwangfu, but she was standing next to her carriage, and under the eaves of the carriage was a lantern with the word "Xie" written on it, could it be that the light of this lantern illuminated her, so that Xiao Rui, who was dozens of meters away, saw it?
Xie Mulin wasn't sure if Xiao Rui was smiling at herself, but that didn't prevent her from responding with a smile. Regardless of whether Xiao Rui can see it or not, she only thinks he can see it in her heart.
Xiao Rui was a little abnormal at this time, as if he lowered his head in embarrassment, and then said something to Xie Pu. Xie Pu had his back to his daughter, so Xie Mulin didn't know how his father was reacting, but it didn't look like he was laughing happily. She was a little curious, what did Xiao Rui say to his cheap father?
She didn't look at it for long, but she was distracted by the peach that came over: "Girl, Mrs. invited the old lady off the boat." ”
Xie Mulin hurriedly turned around and followed Xiangtao to a place closer to the shore, and sure enough, he saw four healthy women with steady hands and feet carrying a soft-pocketed sedan chair and stepping on the spacious wooden plank bridge to get off the boat. Wen has been following them, and Mrs. He is holding on to the other side of the sedan chair, commanding in a low voice, and helping with an umbrella in her hand. Mrs. Jiang, who had made a pillow for Mrs. Xie for a long time, leaned half of her body and limped off the boat with Pearl behind. Perhaps the healthy women hired by the Wen family in Beiping were too good at carrying sedan chairs, and throughout the whole process, Mrs. Xie always closed her eyes tightly, her whole body wrapped tightly in her soft pocket, and she made a slight snoring sound.
After arriving on the shore, the Wen family immediately sent the four old lady Xie master and servant to the prepared carriage, which naturally arranged all kinds of cold facilities, although it did not look gorgeous, but in terms of comfort, it was definitely the first among the carriages of the Xie family with the carriage that the Song family was sitting in the second room.
Xie Mulin watched Wen Shi busy arranging everything, his head that was only wearing a cloak but not wearing a Guanyin pocket was already wet with snowflakes, and if he was blown by the wind like this for a while, he might get sick. She hurriedly grabbed her mother and said, "Mother, everyone got into the carriage, and Uncle Zhao and Uncle Ma were watching the luggage behind, so hurry up and get in the car and rest for a while." When Daddy comes back, we're leaving! ”
Wen Shi in turn pushed her daughter to Xie Yinghui's carriage: "Mother knows it, don't worry about it, it's serious to get into the car and warm up." You have been delicate since you were a child, and you had a serious illness three years ago, although you have raised it for a few years, you don't have your elders to worry about it, and you don't know if you have raised it back. If you're not careful, beware of Ming'er waking up and shouting that you have a headache! The wind and snow in Beiping are not fun, don't think that the climate here is the same thing as Jiangnan! My mother has been living here for more than two years, and she has long been used to it, so there is nothing to worry about, but you need to be more cautious. Young girls are not good at giving birth, and when you get older, you will know that you will regret it! As he spoke, he pushed his daughter into the carriage, and turned around to greet his son Xie Jinzhi, who was talking to Zhao Fengnian, "Uncle Zhao will worry about unloading the luggage, you hurry back to the car, it's cold carefully!" ”
Xie Jinzhi smiled, and when he turned around, he saw his father Xie Pu saying goodbye to the people of Yanwangfu and coming back, so he greeted him: "Father, the elders and brothers and sisters have already gotten into the car, shall we leave?" ”
Xie Pu nodded: "Let's go, let's go back to the house for dinner." Let Zhao Fengnian worry about the luggage. He is also familiar with the people on this dock, and he will arrange the people of the boat to be in order. As for the luggage, first bring the usual ones that everyone has used in recent days, and then slowly transport the rest of the packed large luggage back to the house, and it is not too late to dismantle it tomorrow. ”
Xie Jinzhi responded, saluted his father, turned back and smiled at his mother, and then ran back to the brothers' carriage in small steps. The four of them and a cousin Yang Chun put together a carriage, not only did they not feel crowded, but they also felt lively and fragrant.
Xie Pu and Wen looked at each other and smiled, the former helped the latter into the carriage, and then ordered the coachman to go.
Their carriage started, followed by the carriage of the Song family in the second room, Xie Meijun's mother and daughter and Mrs. Xie, the boys' carriage, Xie Mulin, Xie Yinghui and Yang Yuan's carriage, Xie Yingrong, Xie Yingfen and the two aunts also squeezed a carriage, and then there were the maids and mothers-in-law of the servants in each room, the male and female servants in charge, and the carry-on carriages such as luggage.
The family of the political envoy Si Xie has arrived. This news soon spread throughout Beiping City overnight along the discussion of everyone.
No matter how curiously the Xie Mulin brothers and sisters looked at the unexpectedly prosperous city outside the curtain, in the leading carriage, Xie Pu and the Wen couple were also having a conversation.
Xie Pu said to the Wen family a little unhappily: "I just met that kid from the Xiao family next to the prince, and he looks pretty good. I remembered asking him to go home and invite the elders to propose marriage, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't even have a letter, and I was angry, so I asked him mockingly, since he had returned to Beiping, did there be good news at home? You know what he says? That stinky boy actually told me that he would invite the big media to come to the door in a few days, so I don't have to worry. What do I have to worry about?! ”
He spat with a straight face: "My eldest son, second son and eldest daughter haven't decided to marry yet, I need to worry about whether my second daughter will marry or not?!" Stinky boy, this is to see the prince supporting him, eat me! How could he not want to think about it? Zhen'er is the pearl of my palm, and this year has just passed. I finally reunited with my children, why am I willing to marry my daughter so soon? Even if there is a prince as a matchmaker, it doesn't hurt to marry, but if he wants to marry my real son back to his family, he still has to wait! Who was worried about when you saw it?! ”
