Chapter 701: Warning
Xie Huizhi pulled his second sister to leave. Even if he saw that Xie Mulin and Xiao Rui showed reluctant expressions, he didn't plan to let go.
Although he has always respected Xiao Rui and trusted each other, it is about his second sister, so Xiao Rui naturally has to stand aside. There are so many brothers and sisters, and the weight of the second sister in his mind is different. If the Xiao family let his second sister be wronged, then there is nothing to say!
The future brother-in-law was unhappy, and he wanted to show him his face, but Xiao Rui didn't dare to say much. He felt that he was at a loss, so he could only comfort Xie Mulin softly and reassure her: "I will solve this matter, don't worry." It's not that your father is dissatisfied with you, but he has other concerns. ”
Xie Mulin smiled and reminded him in turn: "Don't hide outside all day long, don't care about family affairs." You should pay more attention to your aunt's movements. Lingzun's affairs, you don't have to be too anxious, everything is still important to get out. As long as you return to the Northern Army smoothly and do not have any other marriage contracts with you, then there is nothing to worry about, and there is no need to rush to accomplish anything in these few days. My parents are still in Peking, and they will definitely not be able to make a marriage contract this time. ”
Xiao Rui sighed, and could only repeat it again: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
Xie Huizhi urged beside him, so he had to stop talking and send Xie Mulin all the way to the carriage in the courtyard. Xiangtao, who had been sitting in the car in a daze, quickly jumped out of the car to help her girl, and looked at Xiao Rui with surprise in her eyes. But she has been well-trained in the past few years, and even when she got in the car, she didn't ask a word. She knew that she only needed to close her teeth, and that what she should know, the girl would tell her, and that she should not know, and that she would make a mistake if she asked.
Xie Huizhi fell behind, pulled Xiao Rui aside, and said in a low voice: "Second Brother Xiao, I know that you have always been smart and capable, this marriage, as long as you have the heart to promote, most of you will think of a way." But this time it involves your father and His Royal Highness King Yan, and maybe there are nobles in the palace behind you, if you really can't do anything, don't force it. My second sister has a good family background, she is smart, beautiful and capable, even if she doesn't marry you, she doesn't have to worry about having a good marriage.
"My father is now a high-ranking official in Beiping, and there are more high-ranking families who are willing to be his sons and daughters! There may not be no young talent who is better than you. The father and wife love the second sister, so naturally they will not ignore her marriage, and will find her someone with good character and temperament. Therefore, even if she can't marry you, she may not be able to live a peaceful and happy life in this life. If you really can't do it, you ...... Don't delay her, let alone ruin her reputation! ”
Xiao Rui suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and he knew that this was his brother-in-law warning him. If he really can't convince his father to change his mind as soon as possible, and when the Xie family leaves the capital and goes to Beiping, Xie Pu is indeed very likely to show his daughter another family affair. He has confidence in himself, but are the children of those official eunuchs in Peking really worse than him? Xie Mulin is indeed not worried about not being able to get married, but he may not be able to find a second girl he really likes!
Xiao Rui took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Huizhi, since I have identified her, I will not change my mind easily. If I can't marry her in this life, I ...... I'd rather fight a bachelor for the rest of my life! ”
Xie Huizhi raised his eyebrows, and his face softened slightly: "Second Brother Xiao, I'm still optimistic about you, so ...... Do your best. ”
He went to the front shop and called the coachman back, loaded all the bags in his hand into the carriage, and then jumped on himself. The carriage slowly turned around in the courtyard and drove out unhurriedly.
Xiao Rui has been living in seclusion here recently, so naturally he will not be sent to the street, but he still stands at the gate of the small courtyard, watching his sweetheart's carriage go away all the way, and the sense of urgency in his heart gradually hits.
He still has a lot of tough battles to fight!
On the carriage that drove away, Xie Huizhi began to sulk again: "General Xiao is too unreliable, if he taboos King Yan, he can just transfer Second Brother Xiao away by himself, what is the anger on our family?!" ”
Xie Mulin had no choice but to appease him: "Your second brother Xiao has promised to solve this matter, why are you still angry?" Just wait for the results. He's likely to come back to you in the next few days, so keep an eye out for updates. ”
Xie Huizhi was not satisfied with waiting for news: "General Xiao, why is this?" In the past, I only heard that he had a good relationship with King Yan, and King Yan got married, and he was still a matchmaker! Second Brother Xiao can go to serve as a soldier under King Yan, he didn't stop him, doesn't it seem like there is any contradiction between the two families? ”
Xie Mulin couldn't understand this, could it be that Xiao Rui's aunt Xiao Mingzhu was engaged to King Yan, but she died of illness before she could get married, and her best friend had something to do with Princess Yan? But Xiao Mingzhu's confidant Aunt Li obviously has a good relationship with Princess Yan, and Xiao Mingde also became the matchmaker for the wedding of King Yan and his wife, it doesn't seem that there has been a bloody drama such as a girlfriend snatching a husband. It can't be Xiao Mingzhu's death, it has something to do with Xiao Mingde, right? And Princess Yan has a bad feeling for Xiao Guifei, that is, Xiao Mingzhu's own sister, what is the reason?
Xie Mulin quickly made up a few bloody dramas, but there were no clues and real hammers, Xie Huizhi made up his mind: "I want to find someone to inquire." In the past few years, our family has not been in the capital, and I don't know if there is any suspicion between the Zhuguo General's Mansion and the Yanwang Mansion, so we have to find a way to find out and understand! Second sister, if you really marry Second Brother Xiao in the future, the General Zhuguo Mansion will be your mother-in-law's family, and if you don't figure out the depth and shallowness of the Xiao family, I don't worry! ”
Xie Mulin did not stop her, she knew that Xie Huizhi had always acted in a measured manner, and he was good at making friends and finding out news. But she still reminded you: "When you inquire about news, try to be careful." The Xiao family is an old family in the capital, and General Xiao is in charge of the city guards, so whenever you meet a soldier in the city, it may be his eyes and ears. If General Xiao is aware of your movements, things will be in trouble. ”
Xie Huizhi's expression froze, and he replied solemnly: "Second sister, don't worry, I will act cautiously." ”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiang Tao again: "What happened today, you are not allowed to say a word, you know?!" Otherwise, even if the second sister lets you go out of her old days, I can't spare you! ”
Xiang Tao's face was pale, but her expression was quite calm: "The third young master doesn't need to scare people, I know the rules, and I won't tell people about the girl." Unless the girl agrees to herself, I will just accompany the girl out to buy some plasters today. No matter who I am in front of, I only have this sentence! ”
Xie Mulin laughed when he heard this, and said softly to Xiangtao: "Don't be nervous, I know you are measured." If I hadn't trusted you, I wouldn't have brought you out today. Just do as you said, and as for the reason, I'll tell you more about it at night when no one is around. ”
Xiang Tao's face suddenly softened: "Yes, girl." ”
Xie Huizhi glanced at her critically, said no more, and instead went to pick up the large bag of plasters prepared by Beiruitang, compared the list issued by the shopkeeper, and confessed to Xie Mulin one by one.
The carriage drove smoothly back to the Xie family's mansion on Pearl Bridge. After entering the door, Xie Mulin took Xiangtao's hand and walked out of the carriage, looked up and saw Mrs. Jiang greeted her with a serious face, and greeted her with a smile: "Hello Mother Jiang, how is the old lady feeling today?" ”
"The old lady is all right." Mrs. Jiang saluted her, and then came over and whispered, "But the third girl went out, saying that she went to Bian's house!" ”
Xie Mulin's face suddenly changed: "What's the matter?" Who let her out?! ”
