Chapter 859: Cover-up
Xie Pu has not been at home in the past few years, and his impression of his daughter is still the same as the image of a good girl three years ago, and he will not doubt Xie Mulin's words.
He just didn't have much confidence in Xiao Rui.
Wen said with a smile: "I said it all, Sister Zhen has been at home since she arrived in Beiping, she is very sensible and well-behaved, and her girl has never gone out, I dare to pack a ticket for the master." If the master doesn't believe in children, doesn't he believe in me either? ”
"It's not that I don't believe in children." Xie Pu listened to his wife's words, but he was a little embarrassed, "I just think that Xiao Rui's kid is too clever and cunning." Don't think I don't know, the girl named Cuijiao next to Sister Zhen has contact with the people under Xiao Rui, and there are contacts from time to time. Even if the real sister hasn't been out and her girl doesn't have it, she can't stop being able to find someone to run errands for her and send a message to Xiao Rui! ”
Xie Mulin's eyes widened: "Really? I really don't know! "Cuijiao didn't mention it to her.
Xie Pu glanced at his daughter and said angrily: "You were so well-behaved and obedient when you were a child, and now you have only known Xiao Rui for a few years?" will be in front of Daddy. I originally looked at the Xiao family's boy, but it was a good thing to have Yan Wang Ye as a matchmaker. But this kid is not honest and always comes to you in private, which makes people angry! If it weren't for the prince's pampering and trusting of him, and now he still takes it with him from time to time to cultivate, I would have agreed to the marriage a long time ago, and I really want to turn my face and deny this son-in-law! ”
Xie Mulin laughed dryly, got up and went to pinch the cheap father's shoulder and back, and offered great hospitality: "Daddy, don't be angry, this is not ...... He was afraid that I would not be happy to marry him, so he specially came to please him in advance? It's better to think that he is sincere. Anyway, I'm about to marry him, and even if I don't offer hospitality now, he will come to please you more in the future. You don't have to be like him, you just have to be honored by him. He is still young, and no matter how clever he is, he is only a little clever, where can he compare to the wisdom that you can only possess after a long time in the world? He'll have to learn a lot from you! ”
Xie Pu was very relieved to hear it and thought so, but after thinking about it, he remembered that his daughter would say these flattering words, but to intercede for Xiao Rui, so he felt a little uncomfortable.
He said with some jealousy: "I don't see you so filial on weekdays, but now when I mentioned the Xiao family boy, you came to please me, it can be seen that it is not true filial piety, it is for that stinky boy!" Daddy is angry! ”
Wen covered his mouth and bowed his head and snickered.
Xie Mulin glanced at her, and continued to please Xie Pu cooperatively, saying, "Daddy misunderstood, I didn't come to be filial to you for Xiao Rui." I just didn't have a chance before, but now it's just when I meet you here, so I can give you a beating on the back. If you like it, I'll give you a beating every day in the future, okay? I'm okay, right? ”
Xie Pu straightened his face for a while, then laughed out loud, and said helplessly: "That's it, your skills are okay, but this has always been your mother's messenger, you still let your mother rub it for me!" ”
Xie Mulin smiled and gave up his position and gave the new messenger back to the Wen family.
Wen's face was slightly red, and he gave her husband a look, suggesting that he should wait until the husband and wife were alone to talk about this kind of thing, and then continued: "Xiao Rui came back to the north this time, what position did he get promoted?" He also brought his birth mother out, what's going on? Can General Xiao even agree? After that, if you want to discuss your relatives...... Are we going to talk to his aunt about marriage? ”
Xie Pu thought for a while: "Xiao Rui's current errands are all in the palace, maybe he wants to be in charge of the palace guards, right?" The prince didn't mention it, and I didn't want to ask much about the affairs of the palace. As for why General Xiao agreed to bring his aunt to his post, I can't say it either. But I remember hearing some people in the palace talking that Xiao Rui went out to buy things whenever he had free time a few days ago, except for some Buddhist beads, incense and other items for monks, that is, he went to the best sewing shops to order plain robes, paddy field clothes and other clothes. The princess also sent Aunt Wu, who was most valued by her side, to Tsz Yun Nunnery to clean up a clean yard and arrange for female nuns to do chores. ”
Wen was a little surprised: "So...... Could it be that Xiao Rui's biological mother is going to become a monk?! "If you want to become a monk, then there is not much difference between being a monk in Beijing or being a monk in Beiping. It's also because of this that General Xiao doesn't mind the concubine bringing the concubine to his office, right? The backyard girl left the house and broke off the mortal dust, so she was no longer his concubine. Xiao Rui took people away, obviously taking over the responsibility of providing for his mother. His biological mother's future life as a monk will no longer have to rely on the former main room snort.
Xie Mulin revealed some truth to his parents: "Aunt Li is indeed planning to become a monk. She and the Aunt Wu beside Princess Yan seem to be sisters or something, and the two sides have a deep friendship. So Xiao Rui came to Peking to take up his post and brought his biological mother with him, and the Xiao family couldn't say anything. This is the face of King Yan's mansion. ”
Xie Pu and Wen suddenly realized, and then the latter was a little worried: "Then who should I discuss with about marriage?" Xiao Rui's father, General Xiao, is still in the capital. ”
Xie Mulin said a little embarrassedly: "Before Xiao Rui left Beijing, Lord Yan seemed to have made an agreement with the Xiao family and took over all his affairs. When King Yan invites someone to propose marriage, Daddy will ask the matchmaker this question again, anyway, King Yan's Mansion will definitely have a way to solve it. ”
Xie Pu frowned and said, "That's it." The prince really attaches great importance to Xiao Rui, he takes him with him every day when he goes out, and introduces him to all the generals in Beiping, even the governor's yamen, and takes him there. If it weren't for the fact that the envoys were still sick, I was afraid that they would have to come to the envoys. is so important, if it weren't for someone who knew, he would still think that King Yan was promoting his own sons and nephews. But I don't understand, since the prince values Xiao Rui so much, and promised to be a big matchmaker for him earlier, why did I hear the rumors today that the prince plans to ask the governor to come forward to be this matchmaker? Why didn't the prince come forward? ”
Xie Mulin said in his heart that King Yan is not a matchmaker, of course, because he wants to be the man's parent. But she couldn't tell Xie Pu directly about these words, and she had to wait until King Yan was willing to reveal them so that Xie Pu could know. She had to cover up for King Yan and Xiao Rui in another way: "I heard from the people around Xiao Rui that it seems that General Xiao and King Yan have some old grudges, so King Yan came forward to be a matchmaker, but General Xiao refused to agree." In fact, he has no opinion on our Xie family, but he is just afraid of the matchmaker. Although Xiao Rui has gone to King Yan's Mansion now, there is no need to look at General Xiao's face anymore, but King Yan probably doesn't want their father and son to be too stiff, right? It was originally a happy event, but General Xiao didn't like it, and it didn't do me any good. ”
Xie Pu then understood, and said a little disappreciatively: "What old grudge can General Xiao and King Yan have?" Even if General Xiao's sister failed to become Princess Yan, it was because of her early death, how could this be blamed on King Yan? However, after making sure that his daughter's marriage would not go wrong because of the change of matchmaker, he didn't care, and said to Wen with a smile, "I met the governor today, and he also asked me which day Xiu Mu was at home, and he was going to come to visit, presumably to be a matchmaker." The governor is also very decent as a matchmaker, but it's a pity that I don't know the governor well, I'm embarrassed to embarrass the Xiao family kid in front of others, is it really to cheapen him so happily? ”
Wen couldn't help but laugh and slapped the back of his hand in disgust.
