Wanqin returned to her cabin in a trance, and she didn't even notice her daughter Xie Yingfen and son Xie Hanzhi who came over to greet her.

Xie Yingfen and Xie Hanzhi glanced at each other, and they both felt that something was wrong. At the moment, they can't spare time for the time being, but when the boat starts, they will find Wanqin's personal girl to ask clearly.

And Xie Mulin, on the other hand, also learned some inside information through Mrs. Zhang.

After Ye Jinrong left Wanqin, he talked with Mrs. Zhang for a few words before returning to Shopkeeper Mao and others, so Mrs. Zhang got some information: "Mr. Ye doesn't know what letter he sent to Aunt Qin, but looking at Aunt Qin's appearance, he must have sent a letter." He said that he had never done this kind of messenger to listen to the news at all, and he didn't know how the eldest young master of the Cao family ordered him Lao Tzu, and the methods he used were shallow and stupid, but he was afraid that Aunt Qin would also see it. The eldest young master of the Cao family must not have a good heart, but he wants to please the main family and climb up again, so he doesn't care at all.

"Aunt Qin may be confused about other things, this kind of big right and wrong, she can still figure it out, even if she really writes a letter to her family, she will only write some trivial things that are not very important, even if she prevaricates in the past, it is also the meaning of letting her Lao Tzu not be kicked aside by the master's family. But she is not a smart person, even if she thinks that what she spreads is a trivial matter, if she can't keep it, she will be used by people with bad intentions and harm our master. Therefore, Ye begged the second girl not to misunderstand Aunt Qin, and not to give her a chance to be stupid, it was better to stop her from communicating with the outside than to let her be used by Lao Tzu and do something stupid that was not conducive to the Xie family. ”

Xie Mulin couldn't help but sigh: "Ye Jinrong is clear-headed, but they have a big family, biological father, stepmother, sisters, younger brothers and sisters...... This is the only one who understands. It's hard for him to drag it out for five. ”

Mrs. Zhang only understood half of it, and didn't ask much smartly: "Second girl, what do you think of Aunt Qin's ......matter?"

Xie Mulin said very calmly: "Let her go." In a short time, she couldn't get to her father's side to find out what secrets. Isn't it just some gossip circulating on the streets? Without her, there would be others. Since the Cao family secretly purchased an industry in the north, they could naturally find out what was happening on the territory of the Yan Wangfu. Instead of scaring the snake, it is better to put a long line to catch a big fish! ”

She asked Mrs. Zhang again: "Did Ye Jinrong say that the Cao family has purchased some secret industries along the canal?" ”

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, and she felt very sorry: "When he told me, he was so annoyed that he couldn't do it." I knew that he had listened to him finish speaking, and while he was confused, he just asked about something useful. But he was angry at the time, and he was bent on not being sorry for the Xie family, so he Lao Tzu just mentioned it, and he was blocked back by him, and he regretted it afterwards and couldn't turn back and ask, for fear that he would be suspicious. ”

Xie Mulin nodded: "It's okay, let's watch." She will secretly inform Xiao Rui of this when she goes back. Even if Xiao Rui himself doesn't have enough manpower, isn't there a person in Yanwangfu? It would also be a great thing if we could find out all the industries, eyes and ears that the Cao family secretly purchased in the north through the line of Wanqin!

Although the Cao family may not be able to survive at that time, it can cut off their family's back road and dig out all their minions, and it can also avoid leaving future troubles.

Xie Mulin wanted to be grateful to Master Cao Wentai for this sudden operation.

She happily returned to Song and Xie Meijun. The Tao family is still there, and Ji Shi, the wife of Xie Jinkun in the long house, also came over with the child. Xie Jinkun was talking to Xie Jinyi and the pedestrian, and seemed to get along very well with his new brother-in-law, and had already inquired about Huang Yan's current residence, planning to send him some of the latest batch of four treasures of the study in the store. In addition, there are several new official books that have recently been printed and published, and it is said that they are selling well outside the country, and the demand exceeds the supply. Huang Yan sent a booklet to the bookstore and asked a few times, but he said that there was no stock. Xie Jinkun left more than a dozen sets for his acquaintances and Zhushan Academy in advance, and he could give him one set, and Huang Yan was also very surprised by this, and thanked him repeatedly.

The Ji family thanked the Song family affectionately, saying that thanks to her guidance, the couple had now invited an elder of the clan to go to Beijing to enlighten their son. Now the couple has nothing to worry about. As a thank you gift, they also sent half a cart of stationery supplies to the second and third rooms where the Song family was located, and they had already let the subordinates transport them on the ship, so that the Song family and others could only take care of them. When it was almost exhausted, they only needed to send a letter to Jingli, and the couple would send the new goods to Beiping as soon as possible.

The stationery supplies in the capital, whether in quality, aesthetics and popularity, are much stronger than those in Beiping.

Song couldn't help but smile dumbly, thanked the Ji couple for their kindness, and she accepted the gift this time, but she didn't plan to care about them in the future. Xie Jinkun's business is doing well, but it is just a small study shop, where can it withstand such consumption? Instead, she had to tell Ji not to ignore her son for the sake of the store's business. Even if the elders of the clan come to teach the children poetry and books, the children's moral upbringing still needs to be guided by their parents.

Ji respectfully listened to Song's teachings, said that he would definitely remember them, and wanted to call Xie Jinkun over to listen, but suddenly heard a commotion outside the porthole. Xie Mulin walked to the window and looked out, it turned out that King Yan had arrived.

Although King Yan is not a person who loves pomp, but this time he left Beijing, the emperor did not send him off in person, but sent the four princes to come instead of him. Also coming to see off the eldest princess of Yongning and a large number of princes, county kings, and clan children were also present. There are also many civil and military officials, honorable and royal relatives who came to join in the excitement and brush up on their sense of existence. Fortunately, the dock was cleared in advance, otherwise it would not have been possible to squeeze so many people. But even so, the originally empty dock was almost full. Those who got on the boat in advance were so bluffed that they didn't dare to take the lead. Like Ji, who just came to see him off, he even gently covered his son's mouth, for fear that he would cry and make any nobleman angry. The Tao family was very calm, so Tao smiled and said to Song: "It seems that we have to sit for a while, it's so lively outside, I'm afraid that the children are not in the mood to chat with us, why don't we talk about it?" ”

Song readily agreed. Tao Ying got up with a smile and helped remove the teacups, snacks, saucers and other items on the table, Xie Mulin reacted second, went into the room and found a chessboard and chess box and put it out. Xie Meijun smiled at this time: "Mother and Aunt Yu have such a leisurely and elegant relationship, I just happened to have a new box of incense medicine, and by the way, I invited the two elders to taste it." After saying that, Yahuan sent a basin towel up, cleaned her hands, and took the family friends who played incense on weekdays, and lit a new incense.

There was still a hustle and bustle on the wharf, and King Yan and his relatives who came to see him off had a routine conversation with the dignitaries and dignitaries who joined in the fun. On the Xie family's boat at the end of the fleet, Song and Tao Yu were playing chess and tasting incense, and several little girls around were watching and talking quietly, and even Ji was quiet and coaxed his son to sleep.

Xie Mulin looked at chess for a while, then looked out the window, and felt that this quiet and leisurely life was more interesting.
