In the evening, Xiao Rui came again.

For the first time since the official marriage, although Xiao Rui can't say that he comes to his fiancée's house every day to report, he comes at least once every two or three days. He will not hide his tracks, he just rides over so generously, and in recent days he will bring a few companions, on the surface, they are all his "colleagues" in the Yanwang Mansion's personal guards, but in fact, they are all entourages and guards, and they stay for about two quarters of an hour to most of the hour each time. During his stay, how could he squeeze out some time to go to the north study of the main courtyard to chat with his fiancée. As for his companions, they basically sit on a warm kang in the flower hall in the front yard to eat and drink tea, and they don't ask him about his whereabouts in the second gate.

Every time Xiao Rui comes to Xie's house, he will bring some souvenirs, not anything valuable, sometimes it is a book or a piece of ink bought for his future father-in-law or brother-in-law, sometimes it is a snack, snacks, interesting little crafts or something for his future mother-in-law or sister-in-law, but the small gifts prepared for his real fiancée Xie Mulin are more attentive, basically not too expensive but very chic and exquisite small ornaments, or high-quality fat powder towels and small sachets or something.

Xie Mulin likes the small gifts he brought, which are basically very suitable for her aesthetics, which shows how careful Xiao Rui was when he chose them. She just felt that he came so diligently that there was no need to bring gifts every time, so after receiving another small piece of jewelry from him, she couldn't help but persuade: "As long as you come, I will be happy, and I don't need any gifts at all." If you feel that you have to bring something to the door, so that it is not rude, then a bag of snacks and a few fruits are enough. You've given me jewelry every time, but where can I wear it? I'm not a person who likes to dress up all over my head, and it's a waste to always put things in my makeup box. Although you have a loose amount of money now, there is no need to spend money on such trivial things, it is better to save up and buy more private property in the future! ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "You don't have to worry about this for me, my private property is well taken care of." These small pieces of jewelry were not bought from outside for a lot of money, but were produced by my own shop. You forgot? At the beginning, I took a group of dozens of craftsmen with excellent craftsmanship from Hangzhou, and now they are all working in my industry. Although they didn't make jewelry in the first place, some of them have talent and need to learn it now, and it doesn't take much effort. I have recruited another group of people from Beiping, Yangzhou, Xuzhou and other places, and now the furniture shops, carriage shops and jewelry shops under my name are all booming, no worse than the shops that do groceries in the north and south! "The grocery store is the one he partnered with Xie Huizhi.

As early as when Xiao Rui was in the capital, he had a lot of talent for collecting money, but he was afraid of the Xiao family's mother and brother-in-law, and he didn't dare to be too public, and the shops under his name relied on Gu Niangzi's family or his friend Dong Huiwu and others to take care of them, and he didn't own any industry. After arriving in Beiping, he had a reliance and backer, and relying on the distance of the Xiao family, he was able to let go of his hand a little to buy property, in addition to Gu Niangzi's son Gu Qingshan can run these industries for him, Aunt Wu Qiongye of Yanwangfu also found a few trustworthy people for him. He stayed in Kaiping Wei by himself, and only controlled the industry in Beiping from a distance, and even earned a good net worth. Now, he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, with his back to the Yan Wangfu, and he has no worries in the northern realm, so he can naturally rest assured and boldly let his subordinates bring forth the new and make the business bigger.

The craftsmen he brought back from the south were very technical and aesthetically unusual, and they started a jewelry business, and from time to time there would be excellent works. He specially kept the styles that were particularly in line with his heart in the middle, and did not sell them to the public, just waiting to give these jewelry to his sweetheart openly, and now he has accumulated two large boxes. Now he's only sent out three or four things, so what's the point? And Xie Mulin's marriage with him is decided, as long as she likes these jewelry, when she marries him in the future, she will always marry all the jewelry back. He won't lose!

Regarding Xiao Rui's wishful thinking, Xie Mulin only felt speechless. Since he doesn't have to spend a lot of money, and he doesn't care if these new jewelry are not sold out, whether they will lose money, then she doesn't need to worry about it. After carefully wrapping the newly acquired small jewelry, Xie Mulin sat up straight and asked him about one thing seriously: "Do you know that Senator Wan next door to our house plans to send his concubine Wan Long to Yanwang Mansion on an errand?" ”

Of course, Xiao Rui knew that his future father-in-law, Xie Pu, had already greeted him and asked him to take more care of this little brother. If things go well, the other party is likely to become his brother-in-law. Even if he can't become his brother-in-law, he will be a young junior admired by his father-in-law. I heard that this man was very smart, and my father-in-law hoped to guide him on the right path. Xiao Rui plans to inspect the other party, if he can make friends, he may be able to become one of the military advisors under the command of Yan Wangfu in the future.

Xiao Rui didn't go into too much detail, but admitted that Xie Pu had explained such a thing to him, and said: "I saw that the people of the pro-guard team tried his skills, and I can only say that his riding skills are still good, and his body is healthy, but he is not strong enough, and his skills are not very good." Such a person, even if he really enters the palace, should do miscellaneous work such as purchasing. If you have read a few years of books, you can get the paperwork and settle accounts, and you can still get one of the subordinate positions of the eighth and ninth grades. After a few years of qualifications, it is not difficult to find an official position of six grades, but that is almost the end. "After all, Bandung has no fame, so he naturally has more prospects for development than officials who are not from the formal imperial examination.

Xie Mulin understood, and she told Xiao Rui: "My third sister doesn't know what's going on, and it seems that she really wants to marry this person." My father also admired his talent and wanted to marry his third sister. But Wan Long's mother-in-law is notoriously jealous, and she is mean to her concubines and concubines, and she will never look at him when he has a future, so she stopped him from going to the examination to make a name for himself, and he was not allowed to apply for a job seriously in the yamen outside. If it weren't for the fact that the Yan Wangfu was just going to recruit people, the other two sons of the Wan family were bent on going to the imperial examination, and if Senator Wan wanted to arrange a nephew to enter the palace, I am afraid it would not be Wanlong's turn to come out. At that time, your identity had not been revealed, and Mrs. Wan was afraid that she would still think that Wan Long would only do some miscellaneous work when he entered the palace. Even if she knew about you now, Wan Long's name would have been reported a long time ago, and she wouldn't have time to stop it. In that case, she would never be happy to see Bandung marry our family again! ”

Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows: "If your father-in-law has the heart to carry this Bandung, it won't be difficult." When a person enters the palace, it is not his family's turn to decide what happens next. Presumably no matter how jealous Mrs. Wan is, Senator Wan won't allow her to mess around, right? If Mrs. Wan really wants to interfere in the personnel changes of Yanwang Mansion, Senator Wan will not have any reputation in Beiping City. ”

Xie Mulin hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?" No problems with the future of Bandung? Does he still need to rely on marriage to get rid of his mother's control?! ”
