Xie Mulin watched the stewards in the front yard and checked all the carriages with luggage to make sure that nothing was missing, and asked them to count all the male and female servants present according to the list, saving who was left behind in the capital.

When the count was completed and nothing was wrong, she turned back to look at her eldest brother Xie Xianzhi. Xie Xianzhi nodded, walked to Jin Xuantang, and helped Mrs. Xie out of the car after a while.

Mrs. Xie held her eldest grandson with one hand and Wanqin with the other, and muttered in a dissatisfied, "It's just dawn, and in the morning, I didn't even have a good breakfast." In fact, time is not too tight, but you are making a fuss! ”

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and glared at Wanqin unhappily: "What are you doing with a look of being unguarded?!" My old woman walks smarter than you! Did you go as a thief last night?! ”

Wanqin came back to her senses and showed a look of panic: "The old lady forgives her sins, I was wrong." ”

"Of course you're wrong! If you're impatient to wait for me, get out of the way! Mrs. Xie said that she would turn her face, completely forgetting Wanqin's recent diligence and carefulness, patted her hand away, called Pearl to help herself, and walked to the carriage without looking back.

Wanqin didn't even follow, still looking absent-minded, and boarded another pony carriage with her girl.

Xie Mulin felt that she was a little strange, but their family was leaving, and she didn't expect that she would be able to produce any moths, so he asked Xiangtao to bring a message to Mrs. Zhang, pay more attention to Wanqin's movements, and then ignore it.

Mrs. Zhang's man's problems in his legs and feet have been greatly improved, because Mrs. Zhang has Xie Mulin's blue eyes, this time the couple will also go north with the main family to run errands for the second girl. This means that their husband and wife's careers have a new beginning, and Mrs. Zhang is now actively trying to perform. She is a person who is used to being in the porter, her eyes are very sharp, and Wanqin can't hide any unusual actions from her.

The ancestors and grandchildren of the Xie family stayed in the Xie family's mansion in the capital for more than half a month, and then continued their journey north. I don't know how many years it will take for this spacious mansion to usher in its true owner again.

Cai Laotian and his wife tearfully sent their master's ancestors and grandchildren out of the gate, and only returned to the house and closed the gate until the carriage queue disappeared at the end of the road. They are responsible for guarding the house and running the Guiyuan, and they can't go to the dock to see off the master, but thinking that their children can follow the master, and even the youngest daughter Xiao Tao has left with her sister, and she will have a better future, and the reluctance in her heart has been alleviated a lot.

The Xie family and his entourage took a carriage, walked through the streets and alleys, went out of the city gate, and arrived at the Beijing suburb wharf half an hour before the departure time set by the Yanwang Mansion.

The fleet of the Yan Wangfu is ready, but it has not yet ushered in its own master. The dock was almost cleared, and the idlers were almost gone, except for the dignitaries and nobles who came to see them off, and they were passengers or merchants who planned to go north with the fleet of Yanwangfu. The Xie family's fleet was driven from the wharf on the side of Xiaozhuang, and it had docked at its berth early, Xie Jinzhi also sent the little boy Shiyan to wait at the intersection of the wharf, and saw his carriage arrive from a distance, and immediately went up to lead the way.

When Xie Mulin helped Mrs. Xie get down from the carriage, his servants had already surrounded him, so he couldn't see it as clearly as he could see it in the carriage. She didn't care, and helped Mrs. Xie onto the boat first. With Xie Yinghui taking over, and Pearl He Pozi and they waiting, Xie Xianzhi followed Mrs. Xie into the cabin, and there was nothing for her to do for the time being, so she turned around and ordered Xiangtao to command her subordinates to carry things, and she went to the boat next to her to say hello to Song and Xie Meijun.

She unexpectedly met a few acquaintances on Song's side.

Song's best friend when he was young, Tao Yushi, the mother of Tao Jiong, the official of Zhenjiang Mansion, and his daughter-in-law Lian and niece Tao Ying all sat in the cabin.

It turned out that the Tao family had arrived in the capital two days ago and were currently living in the Xie family's small village. Tao Jiong is waiting for the Dali Temple to open the trial, and he is ready to be questioned by Dali Temple officials as a witness.

Lu Shaoqing, the father of Xie Yinghui's little sister Lu Feiyun, is very efficient in her actions. I just got the information from the Zhenjiang prefect from the Xie family, and the investigation began the next day. The prefect of Zhenjiang was also too careless, being an official so close to the capital, and knowing that his own backer was no longer reliable, but he didn't know how to restrain himself, so he happened to be arrested by Lu Shaoqing, and now he has entered the prison of Dali Temple. He was accompanied by many fellow party members. Tao Jiong, as a clear stream out of the mud and not stained, came to the capital as a witness. It is said that even the emperor paid attention to this case, asked about the interrogation process of Dali Temple many times, and was very concerned about the outcome. If there is no accident, once this case passes, Tao Jiong will be promoted.

The daughter of the Tao family followed Tao Jiong into Beijing, and first went to visit the Song family and thanked her. If there is no help from the Song family, the case will be reported to Dali Temple, but I am afraid that their family will not know how long they will be trapped in Zhenjiang. It is said that after sending off the Xie family, Tao Jiong has suffered two "accidents" and almost worries about his life. If it weren't for Lu Shaoqing who brought people to come quickly, it would be difficult to say what kind of danger the Tao family would face now.

Today, the two members of the Xie family set off from Beijing to the north, and although the Tao family got along with the Song family for two days, they were personally sent to the dock. Tao Jiong actually came, but it was not good to stay with the ladies and relatives, and he was talking with Xie Jinzhi, Yang Chun and Huang Yan.

Xie Mulin heard that Huang Yan was also here, and immediately asked Yang Yuan in a whisper: "Huang Juren is also here, is it that he has decided the matter with the eldest sister?" ”

Yang Yuan covered his mouth with a handkerchief, winked at her, and said in a low voice: "My grandmother's mother begged an old gentleman she knew to give them a combination of eight characters, and she had already set up a marriage letter and exchanged tokens, but she didn't publicize it to the outside world. ”

Okay, that's enough. Those who preach and don't preach are secondary. When the family arrived in Beiping, met with their father Xie Pu, and met with Huang Yan's mother with the token to discuss, the news of the marriage between the two families could spread. Now that Huang Yan is preparing for the exam in the capital, of course it is not good to spread the rumors at will, so that the ill-intentioned Cao family will come to the door to make trouble.

Xie Mulin recalled that he had just seen his eldest sister Xie Yinghui's good spirits, and estimated that she should be quite happy, so he wished her in his heart that she could make her wish come true and be happy in her life.

Xie Yingfen brought the girl up with refreshments, and sat down beside Xie Mulin. She also had a smile on her face, and handed Yang Yuan a snack, which happened to be the latter's favorite taste. The latter took it in surprise and gave half to Tao Ying, Tao Ying pursed her lips and smiled and whispered thanks, and the three little girls chatted head to head.

Xie Mulin sat for a while, then got up to see if the family had finished carrying their luggage, and got on the boat together, just in time to meet Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang lowered her voice and reported to her: "A family surnamed Wan who rented our mansion and lived in the guest house, and a mother-in-law of his family just came to see the excitement, saw us carry our luggage and load the car, secretly stuffed a letter to Aunt Qin, and didn't know what to say, so she turned around and left." Aunt Qin later went into the house to read the letter, and when she came out, she was a little distracted. Her girl also felt that something was wrong, and wanted to peek at what was written in the letter, but found that Aunt Qin had burned the letter to ashes in the house, and there was nothing left! At this time, Guy Ye followed Shopkeeper Mao to deliver the letter, Aunt Qin called Guy Ye to go, and the sisters and brothers were talking to avoid people. ”

Xie Mulin raised an eyebrow.
