Chapter 135: The Brocade Box

Listening to Xie Pu's words, Xie Mulin couldn't help but say, "Even if the eldest brother wants to choose the East Palace to accompany him, he can't live in Pingnanbo Mansion, right?" It's okay to go back to Xie's house? ”

Xie Pu said: "I also asked Ping Nanbo so. He said, in order to be an alternative, your eldest brother needs to practice palace etiquette, and it will be more convenient to live in Pingnanbo's Mansion. ”

Xie Mulin snorted: "How many times does the eldest brother follow the Cao family into the palace every year, what palace etiquette do you have to practice?" This is clearly an excuse! ”

"Who doesn't know it's an excuse?" Xie Pu sighed, "But he Cao Laosan refuses to let go, what can I do with him?" If you are in a hurry, he will hurt your eldest brother regardless of it, won't I regret it? Cao Laosan, if he said that your eldest brother is sick and it is inconvenient to move, he really dares to call your eldest brother sick! ”

Ping Nanbo dared to be ruthless to his nephew, but his father was still reluctant to suffer from his own flesh and blood, so he was naturally restrained. If he was really forced to do so, he could only put these two children in Pingnanbo's mansion. When he left the capital and his family returned to his hometown, Ping Nanbo might let go of his mouth and let Xie Xianzhi go out to study, and there was still hope for his son's future.

Xie Mulin was also quite helpless when he heard this. For those who are shameless and ruthless, it is really an honest person who suffers more.

However, Xie Mulin also couldn't understand: "Why does Ping Nanbo have to detain his eldest brother and refuse to let go?" Originally, he calculated his father and asked his eldest brother and sister to follow the Cao family back to his parents' house, probably for the sake of calming the Cao family's heart and keeping his nephews safe by the way. But now, my father is safe and sound, Ping Nanbo has got most of the Xie family's property, and the Cao family has reconciled with you, and you will marry whoever you like in the future. There is no point in him calculating you again, what reason does he have to detain the big brother?

"The eldest sister can also follow Mrs. Ping Nanbo out to attend the banquet, but the eldest brother is under house arrest and can't go out or see people. I don't understand, why the hell is Pingnanbo Mansion doing this? What do they want to do with Big Brother? ”

Xie Pu frowned. He had been accustomed to all kinds of difficulties and rejections from Ping Nanbo during this time, and he really hadn't thought about this problem carefully.

Xie Xianzhi is only a half-grown child, except for his identity as the eldest son of Xie Pu and the Cao family, what else can Ping Nanbo use?

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and his face suddenly became ugly.

With Ping Nanbo's insidious viciousness, this possibility is not non-existent.

If Ping Nanbo really intends to do this, it is estimated that he will not be soft on Xie Xianzhi's nephew in the future. Otherwise, how could he completely annex the Xie family's property?

Xie Pu said to his daughter with a dark face: "Okay, I know this in my heart." Go back to your room for now. ”

Xie Mulin asked him, "Daddy, what do you think?" ”

Xie Pu just waved his hand and refused to understand. But looking at his face, it will never be a good thing to think of.

Xie Mulin flattened his mouth, rolled his eyes, and came up with an idea: "Daddy, now the Pingnan Bofu has detained the eldest brother and prevented him from seeing people, so we can't help it if we want to save people." But what if the big brother shows up in front of people? For example, he left the Pingnanbo Mansion and appeared in some kind of public place. Without the barriers of the Bofu mansion, it would be much easier for him to be free, right? I don't believe it, when he returns home, can Pingnanbo Mansion openly tie him back? ”

Xie Pu frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?" If Pingnanbo's Mansion wants to detain your eldest brother, how can you let him leave the mansion easily? ”

Xie Mulin said with a smile: "Didn't Ping Nanbo say that he wanted his eldest brother to run for the East Palace Companion Study?" Then you have to let the eldest brother enter the palace, right? We tried to find a way to send a message to the eldest brother and ask him to tell the emperor or a certain minister which famous academy he wanted to study at, or which great Confucian he wanted to learn from. Then, as long as someone remembers him, even if his father has already taken office, there is no reason for Pingnanbo Mansion to stop his eldest brother from going out. Once the eldest brother has the opportunity to leave Pingnanbo Mansion, it will be much easier to study abroad or go to his hometown to meet us! ”

Xie Pu smiled helplessly: "You kid, you think too naΓ―vely. What if your eldest brother leaves Pingnanbo's Mansion? Ping Nanbo said that Cao's is sick, or Duchess Cheng'en is sick, and misses your eldest brother, can your eldest brother not go to see the patient? ”

Xie Mulin waved his hand: "Then look at it, we are not like Pingnanbo Mansion, we have to lock people at home and not go out, but no one has a reason to detain relatives who come to visit the patient, right?" It's a big deal, and when the time comes, let the third brother accompany him. If the people of Pingnanbo's Mansion dare to detain the eldest brother, the third brother can go to the government to complain, saying that the Cao family robbed the good family and the people! ”

Xie Pu almost didn't choke, and said angrily: "Nonsense! You're not afraid that Pingnanbo Mansion will also detain your third brother?! ”

Xie Mulin spread his hands: "Then let Aunt Dajin go to the government to complain, saying that the Cao family robbed the two good men." ”

Xie Pu didn't know what to say for a while, and finally could only laugh and scold: "It's more and more nonsense, why don't you let me out quickly?!" ”

Wen Shiren smiled and pushed his daughter out. Xie Mulin refused to give up and turned back and said, "Dad, you can consider my suggestion." Sometimes, when we go against that kind of shameless person, we can't love face too much! ”

Wen slapped her: "Don't be kidding, is this kind of thing a joke?" He pushed his daughter out of the door, scolded her, and then lowered the bamboo curtain.

Xie Mulin snorted and turned away helplessly.

In fact, her method, although it sounds a bit scoundrel, is not completely unfeasible. Ping Nanbo may not be very embarrassed, but Empress Cao and the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion obviously attach more importance to fame. Once the matter gets big and affects the reputation of the Cao family, they will intervene.

Xie Mulin walked to his room, but heard someone "hissing", she followed the reputation, it turned out to be Xie Huizhi, I don't know when I hid under the windowsill of the main house, I think I have been eavesdropping for a long time.

Xie Mulin came to the gate of the courtyard at the signal of Xie Huizhi, avoiding people and talking to him: "What do you tell me to do?" Can you contact Qingsong? What did he say? Will you help? ”

Xie Huizhi said: "The person was in touch, but he only promised to send a few words, and refused to bring a piece of paper." What to say to the eldest brother, we have to think about it. ”

Xie Mulin was puzzled: "Then you can ask your father to go, or discuss it with your second brother." ”

Xie Huizhi looked in the direction of the main house and lowered his voice: "I think my father has too many concerns, and he may not dare to do anything." It's better for us to think about what ideas we should give to our eldest brother. It may be much easier for the eldest brother to find a way in the Pingnanbo Mansion than for us to act outside. ”

Xie Mulin raised his eyebrows and became interested: "Then what do you think ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw the fourth sister Xie Yingfen walking out of the courtyard where her mother and son lived with a small face, and approached them.

Xie Mulin immediately shut up and asked with a smile, "Fourth sister, is there something wrong?" Xie Huizhi also looked at Xie Yingfen curiously.

Xie Yingfen looked back and forth, left and right, and saw that no one saw it, so she whispered to her brother and sister: "Second sister, third brother, I saw my aunt bring back a brocade box from outside yesterday, I asked her what was inside, but she refused to tell me, and told me not to touch the box." I asked again and again, and she said that it was because the weather had been hot recently, and there were rats in the house, so she bought some rat poison and came back. It's poisonous, tell me not to touch it. ”

Xie Mulin and Xie Huizhi glanced at each other.

In the past, when they lived in the west courtyard of the Li family, there were indeed rats in the yard, but after moving to the current house, the environment is much better, and they have not seen that thing haunted. Even if she really wants to buy rat poison, Aunt Wanqin can't be so mysterious, right?

What's wrong with that packet?
