In the upper room of the main courtyard, the mother and son of the Xie family sat around, listening to Xie Mulin recount all kinds of experiences from yesterday to this morning, during which he gasped from time to time, just listening, he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for her.

This is still when Xie Mulin did not tell all the secrets revealed by Xiao Rui.

However, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie Mulin were able to avoid a catastrophe in a thrilling and dangerous way, and everyone was glad for them, and they also felt that Xie Mulin pushed the boat down the river and brought Mrs. Xie back to Xiejiajiao, which was very clever.

Wen also immediately said that he would send his subordinates to send some rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, bedding and dry firewood and charcoal to the old house, so as to save the people of Jinshanwei from not enough.

Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi also felt that it was necessary to personally go to the old mansion to meet the commander. It doesn't matter if you can see people or not, but the attitude of the host must be put out, and for the injured, you must also express your condolences.

Xie Huizhi really wanted to talk to Xiao Rui. The two of them used to be the sons and daughters of the eunuchs in the capital, but they had very little contact. But since they first met in Dali Temple, and now they are reunited in other places, how can they continue this friendship. Xie Huizhi felt that if he could befriend Xiao Rui, maybe he could inquire more about the news of the capital. No matter how Xiao Rui is not valued by his family, he is also the young master of the General Mansion of the Pillar Kingdom, and there is a noble concubine and the prince on his head, and the news is better than others. The Xie family now lives in Huyin's hometown, and if they want to know the changes in Beijing, they can't expect Xie Yinghui to send a message from a boudoir girl in everything.

When the big event was over, when Wen planned to discuss how the children would serve the sick in shifts in Mrs. Xie's courtyard, Wanqin was very discerning and retired on the grounds that "the old lady has never liked our mother and son".

As soon as the three of them left, Xie Mulin dismissed the maid and son-in-law, and then mentioned the "secret" revealed by Xiao Rui to his mother Wen and the three older brothers.

She said: "How true and false these words are said by Xiao Ergongzi, I can't tell myself. But I think it is necessary to tell the second grandmother so that she can be on guard. It's best for our family to send a letter to Jingzhong, and let the shopkeeper Mao inquire about it, is there really such a rumor? And the big sister, I also want to remind you. The eldest sister is good friends with the eldest princess of Yongning, and it would be better if she could reveal a few words to the people of the Ma family, saying that the Song family is not as capable as rumored, and the rumors are too exaggerated. ”

Wen's face turned pale when he heard this: "This is what should be done." What the hell is such a hateful person?! Now there is only one old lady left in the Song family, and they still refuse to let go! ”

Xie Xianzhi frowned and said, "Could Xiao Rui be talking nonsense?" The second sister also said that he had lied, and what he said may not be credible. If this is all his words, we rashly tell the second old lady, wouldn't it make her old man worry in vain? It is better to send someone to listen in Beijing first, and when it is clear that there is something going on, it is not too late to report to the second old lady. ”

Xie Jinzhi: "It's nothing. The family is close to each other, even if it is confirmed that it is Xiao Er's nonsense in the end, it is not a big deal. Anyway, we are also worried that the second grandmother will be calculated, so we will speak. With this intention, the second grandmother will not dislike us for many things. Moreover, even if someone is not deliberately fabricating rumors about the Song family's great-grandfather's protégé and wanting to disadvantage them, Xiao Er can say this, at least it can prove that someone has set his sights on the Conglong heroes who had been friends with the Song family because of his father's safe escape. It's also good for us to remind our elders. ”

Xie Xianzhi was right to think about it, so he said: "Jiao Yintai, the political envoy, once gave me a letter of recommendation from Zhushan Academy, so that I could smoothly leave Pingnanbo Mansion and reunite with my family. He treated me with kindness first, and I wrote a letter to him, explaining that I had settled down in the academy and worshiped the great Confucian as my teacher, and then mentioned a rumor by the way, which must not be too abrupt. ”

Xie Jinzhi smiled and nodded: "Big brother is right." ”

Wen asked his daughter uneasily: "Where is the Lin family...... This time I think we'll stop, right? You won't fight our family's idea again, will you? ”

Xie Mulin said: "Jin Shanwei has arrested a lot of robbers this time, no matter whether the culprit can be tried in the end, smart people will not do anything at this time, so they have to avoid the limelight for a while." In fact, the Lin Cao family is-for-tat, and the drama is too obvious, and anyone with a discerning eye can see who is making trouble behind those cases of robbing official food. The emperor should be able to knock some people, and we can also calm down for the time being. ”

Wen sighed, "I hope so." Now that the old lady has returned, don't let her go back to the old mansion again. It's so secluded that I can't even find anyone who can help me when something happens. You too, just stay at home, don't go out of Xie's corner if you have nothing to do. After that, he turned to his sons, "Be careful when you go out, and bring a few more people." The academy has recently suspended classes, so you should try to stay at home and study. Huizhi doesn't always go to the county to play. Even if the situation of the displaced people is just a myth, the water level in the river is rising day by day, which is a worrying thing. Do not be careless. ”

Xie Mulin's brothers and sisters had to get up and bow their heads in unison. Among them, Xie Huizhi and Xie Mulin were the most cursed. Xie Mulin could still hold his expression unchanged, and Xie Huizhi couldn't help but sigh for a long time.

Then, Wen took a pair of children to the second room, met with Song, and reported the rumors that Xie Mulin had heard.

After listening to Xie Mulin's narration, Song's expression did not change, but he was speechless for a long time, and his heart was not really so calm and waveless.

Xie Meijun happened to be there, and without her mother, she couldn't help but scold: "The Lin family is really insidious and cunning!" His family wants to fight with the Cao family, and it is good to fight for himself. What is our Xie family hindering them? He was going to drag us into the water. If you don't say hello, you will take the lives of our children. If there is really an enmity, that's it, what they think is to win us over? It's ridiculous! Before they got along, they made a feud first, what kind of messy calculations are this. With such a foreigner dragging his feet, what does the second prince want to take away?! ”

Song glanced at her daughter and didn't speak, Xie Meijun was already a little weaker: "Mother, it's not that I'm talking nonsense about major events in the palace, but that the Lin family is acting too absurdly." This time it was the niece and daughter's luck, and it happened that Jin Shanwei was ordered to come to suppress the bandits, their commander was a capable one, and he found the thieves' whereabouts early, so he didn't fall into the trap of the thieves, otherwise, she was a delicate girl, and a sick old lady with three aunts, and when she met that vicious bandit, could she still have her life? I feel scared when I think about it. When did such murder happen in Huyin County? Isn't it all the Lin family?! ”

The two so-called major cases of homeless people robbing official food were first made up by the Lin family when they wanted to pull General Hangzhou off the horse. Of course, the Cao family is not a good thing, so they will use the same method to oppose the Lin family's army. But the Lin family didn't stop in time, but continued to commit crimes, it was really stupid, as if they felt that everyone in the court was stupid and couldn't see what was going on in these cases. What did they take the emperor for by doing this? What do you think of the important ministers of the court?

Xie Meijun really couldn't think of it, if the Lin family didn't have smart people, why would they have to wade into the troubled waters?

Song was noncommittal, and said to Xie Mulin lightly: "Good boy, you have a heart." I really didn't expect this to happen before, I'm far away in Huyin, and I don't need to ask for news in Beijing, maybe someone will really be calculated. However, since the Lin family first alarmed Jiao Yintai, it must not be a big problem. Master Jiao has been in the world for a long time, and he will know what to do. I wrote to him to say hello when I got back, and I mentioned it a little bit, and that's it. ”
