Xie Mulin hurried back to the hibiscus courtyard where he was staying and wrote a reply.

In the letter, she wrote in detail the itinerary and route map of her family's preparation for going north, so that Xiao Rui could make a reference and arrange a suitable day to visit. The most important point is that Xiao Rui must not come to Huyin! It's time-consuming and meaningless, so it's better to stay in the capital and wait for her to pass. As for other proposals, engagements, or whatever, he'll just look at it. Xie Mulin vaguely showed an attitude of "I listen to your arrangement", and I don't know if Xiao Rui can understand her hints.

After writing the letter, she signed "Xie Mulin" as usual, and her face was still slightly red and hot.

Although she thinks this kind of thing is normal, isn't it normal to be in a relationship for three years - albeit a long-distance relationship - to discuss marriage? What's there to twist? She didn't directly discuss with Xiao Rui about her married life, work, housing and other issues, she was already very reserved, okay?

In fact, it has something to do with the fact that they are not talking face-to-face.

When Xie Mulin sealed the envelope, he was just in time for Xiangtao to come back and report a message to her: "The person in the concierge said that a letter from Jingli came to the eldest lady, and it had been sent to Hanlian Yuan. ”

Xie Mulin nodded, was noncommittal, and went directly to the Xiangzhang Courtyard to find Xie Huizhi. Xie Huizhi went to the courtyard of the fourth Xie Hanzhi and didn't come back, so she went to Dangui Courtyard again.

In the Dangui Courtyard, Xie Huizhi, Xie Hanzhi and Xie Yingfen were all there, the three of them were talking and laughing, and when they saw Xie Mulin coming, they all happily greeted her and pulled her into the house to sit.

Xie Mulin hid the letter in his sleeve and chatted with his younger siblings: "When did the fourth sister come back?" What are you playing with Sister Yuan today? ”

Xie Yingfen pursed her lips and smiled: "I didn't play anything today." Sister Yuan'er hasn't finished her homework yet, and she won't be able to hand it in when she goes to school, so she will be embarrassed. I'll come up with ideas for her in the past......" Xie Huizhi interjected: "By the way, help do your homework......" Xie Yingfen glared back, and couldn't help laughing, "What are you staring at me for?" I've seen a lot of this kind of trick, can you hide it from others, can you still hide it from me? ”

Xie Hanzhi smiled a little cunningly beside him: "The third brother is so familiar, isn't he also very experienced?" ”

Xie Huizhi's face froze, and he turned his head to meet Xie Mulin's smiling expression, wow wow screamed twice, then rushed over and hugged his little brother and rubbed his hair indiscriminately: "Stinky boy dares to dig a pit for me?!" It's so disgusting that I love you so much! ”

Xie Hanzhi was not only not frightened, but also laughed. However, his sister Xie Yingfen was even more nervous about his body: "Third brother, don't mess with him, he won't be able to breathe for a while, he will be uncomfortable!" ”

Xie Huizhi glanced at her, but he still let go of Xie Hanzhi smoothly, and pulled his hair a few times for him: "You just spoil him, I don't think his body is so squeamish at all, but it is possible that he will be spoiled by you!" ”

The three brothers and sisters laughed and sat back in their places, and Xie Yingfen continued to tell Xie Mulin about her experience in the second room. In fact, there is nothing to say, it is no different from weekdays, two little girls stay in one place for three or two hours, Yang Chun occasionally comes to talk to his sister, and after discovering the truth about the girls' "homework", he preaches a big truth, and then is kicked out by his sister irritably. What's special today is that he just rubs in the yard after going out, unlike on weekdays, he will leave directly. Later, Xie Yingfen said goodbye and went home, and saw the Yang family brothers and sisters talking in the house, looking at the expressions on their faces, I am afraid that they were not talking about a pleasant topic.

Xie Yingfen is a very careful girl, but on the surface, she seems to be very smiling and loves to talk and laugh. After discovering the abnormality of the Yang family's brothers and sisters, she tried to find someone to inquire about it on the way out of the second gate, and then she knew that Yang Yiquan had sent someone to deliver a letter.

Since Yang Yiquan and Xie Meijun separated from each other, they returned to live alone in the residence in Zhushan Academy. He continued to teach in the academy, and there were many people around him, as if his life had not changed much. But the gentlemen in the academy are more emotionally inclined to the Xie family, and there are people who persuade him to back down and blame him for his actions, and he can't stand it. Under the pretext of preparing for the imperial examination, he temporarily resigned from his teaching position in the academy and moved back to the Yang family's mansion in the county seat. At first, it was okay, Mrs. Yang's mother and son were not bad to him, but as the days went by, he felt a lot of unpleasantness.

The Yang family's mansion used to be his home, but now, he seems to be under the fence there.

Gradually, public opinion in the county also began to favor Xie Meijun. And because Yang Yiquan does not have the aura of the future head of Zhushan Academy, he only has a reputation and has not been able to be admitted to the Jinshi, he is far less respected than before. Mrs. Yang had arranged for him to have a concubine room, but after getting used to the young and beautiful concubine room, he began to think that they were stupid and boring again.

Subsequently, his hands tightened, no one in his family would give him silver pocket money, and he had no income after losing his teaching position, and he originally had his wife's subsidies, but now these subsidies are naturally in vain. He can only rely on the two small industries under his name to support the expenses, and his uncle Yang Da Ye, who is far away in Yangzhou, will also send him some paper and pen money from time to time, and occasionally he can sell some poems or something, so as to maintain his dignity.

But this is not a long-term solution.

Yang Yiquan may have regretted it, he began to show his remorse in front of outsiders constantly, and always asked someone to send a letter to Xie Meijun, but he rarely came to Xie Jiajiao in person. He made the appearance of a "prodigal son" in front of outsiders, which caused Xie Meijun to be blamed and said to be "too hard-hearted". However, Xie Meijun had already made up her mind and refused to look back, no matter what he did outside, she turned a deaf ear. Even if some gentlemen's relatives in the academy came to persuade her or dismiss her, she refused to talk about any ex-husband's problems.

Xie Meijun was unmoved, but Yang Yiquan's movements were getting bigger and bigger. Today, he made a pretentious act in front of outsiders in the county town again, and this time he also came up with a new trick, worrying about the marriage of his children. Then the Yang family asked an acquaintance to send a message to Xie Meijun, saying that Master Yang had taken a fancy to a good family in Yangzhou, and wanted to say it to Yang Yiquan's children, hoping that Xie Meijun could get back together with Yang Yiquan for the sake of his children, at least in front of others.

Xie Yingfen said to Xie Mulin: "Uncle Yang has become so hateful now, I really didn't expect it at the beginning. Aunt Mei Jun was worried about this matter with the second old lady for a while. has the heart to refuse, and it is difficult to refuse Master Yang's kindness. But if you really want to agree to see each other, just dealing with Uncle Yang is enough to make people upset. My aunt didn't tell Brother Chun and Sister Yuan about this, but the second room is only so big, and Brother Chun is the treasure of the whole family, he has the heart to inquire, and someone will always tell him. He is worried about this matter, and he has to discuss countermeasures with Sister Yuan. I said he was a fool, what idea could Sister Yuan have? In the end, it's not a worry? ”

Xie Mulin frowned, feeling a little bit in his heart that Master Yang didn't have a backache when he stood and talked, there were too many things! At the beginning, because he wrote a letter back, although he didn't say anything accusatory, just talked about some old people, he had already made the second old lady Song sick and depressed, and now he wants to meddle in Yang Chun and Yang Yuan's marriage. He is so capable, why can't he take care of his wife, son and nephew well?!

Xie Huizhi sneered beside him: "What's there to worry about this kind of thing? Uncle Yang is just making a fuss in Huyin County. In the spring of next year, I don't think he will even be able to take the exam. simply asked Aunt Mei Jun to take Brother Chun and Sister Yuan to travel around, and also asked Brother Chun to have a long experience. No one is there, Uncle Yang is just flattering to the blind, and there is nowhere to give birth if he wants to! ”
