Chapter 661: Sorrow
Xie Mulin read the letter and saw this, and found that there was no one behind it, and he didn't even see the signature, so he guessed that there was probably a follow-up to these two letters, but Xie Yinghui didn't take it out for some considerations.
She didn't say anything, she directly returned the letter to Xie Yinghui, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the eldest sister." The eldest sister can finally enter Beijing with peace of mind, and she doesn't always have to think about living in a small village outside the city. ”
Xie Yinghui's expression was still a little sad: "I hope so." I won't run around anyway, participate in any banquets and tea parties, and when I get to the capital, I will only go to see a few good friends, among which Yurong and Zhao Ying are still a family. I will only go to the eldest princess of Yongning or the Ma family, and if I go to the Lu family one more, there will be no need to go out. I don't think I'll ever meet a woman with bad intentions who gossips about my mother in front of me. Now that even my mother has been locked up by my uncle and aunt and doesn't go out to see people, I guess I can save a lot of worry. ”
She was only worried: "But my mother is now in the Chengenhou Mansion, if I don't enter the door and don't even go to the Chengenhou Mansion, will someone say that I am not filial or rude?" Even if I don't care about that, what about my brother? ”
Xie Mulin thought for a moment: "This is indeed a problem. If you keep a low profile and only go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion and the Lu family, I'm afraid outsiders may not know that you are back. But the eldest brother is different, he at least has to visit Jiao Yintai's house, and his whereabouts may not be able to hide from outsiders. He is a scholar, and now he has a reputation again, not as casual as he used to be when he was a child. If you really know that your mother is in the capital and don't come to visit, someone will definitely talk behind your back. ”
Xie Yinghui frowned and said: "If his family was attacked by the Lin family when the Cao family was not filial piety before, it is possible that he may want to act more restrained, don't let someone hold the handle, so as to give Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Yongning a little face, and don't embarrass me and my brother." Even if we don't come to the door, they can treat it as if it's nothing. But now that his family is filial, just when the second prince and the Lin family are unlucky again, his family must want to take the opportunity to make a comeback, and to teach those who were not optimistic about the Cao family a lesson. At such times, the slightest thing can cause his family to be angry. If my brother and I really don't go to his house, I'm afraid they will really cause them to have a seizure and slander us by saying things that are not in good shape. ”
Anyway, she felt that she either didn't marry for the rest of her life, or she was looking for her mother-in-law's family in Beiping, and she didn't care much about these, but Xie Xianzhi was different, he was going to take the imperial examination, and sooner or later he would have to return to the capital to take the exam and become an official, and she couldn't let her brother leave a stain on his body that couldn't be washed away. The charge of "unfilial piety" is enough to overwhelm any scholar and cut off his future.
Xie Mulin thought for a while: "Then you just mean it, just hand over a post to the Chengenhou Mansion." The other people in the Cao family don't have to pay attention to it, especially the third room, his family has even lost his title now, but he is just a down-and-out villain, so there is no need to take care of it. At the same time, you have to squeeze out time to go to the Bao'en Temple outside the city to pay respects to the Duchess of Cheng'en, so that you can be a little more public, so that people can know that your brothers and sisters are actually very filial to your elders. Even if someone tries to pour sewage on your head, someone will block it for you. Today's Cao family is not as good as it used to be in the capital, and there will definitely be people who will disagree with them. ”
Xie Yinghui hurriedly said: "Then what if the Chengenhou Mansion really took our post?" Are we really going to meet them?! ”
Xie Mulin spread his hands: "If you want to see it, you can see it, what's the big deal?" Before you left the capital, didn't you deal with Cao Wentai? Don't be too careful, just follow the rules and do enough etiquette on the surface. Now that your brothers and sisters have no value to use, can the Chengenhou Mansion still force you to do any bad things? Even if you see your mother, there's nothing to panic about. Knowing that she is not in a good situation now, comfort her a few words, persuade her to relax and take care of her body, this is enough, don't say a word more. ”
Xie Yinghui pouted and said, "Although I don't know how to pretend, I really see her...... I'm afraid I'll be tempted to sneer. At the beginning, she persuaded her so many good words, but she didn't listen to a word, and almost sold me for Fang Wenshan. Now that everything is being told by you and me, she didn't end well, it's just a newspaper from the world! If she comes to this point, she still doesn't wake up, she draws a clear line with Fang Wenshan early, stays away from the Cao family, does less things that hurt others and is not beneficial to herself, and sincerely apologizes to her father, and in the future, she really doesn't want her brother and me to recognize her as a mother! How can she know what we really think without making it clear? ”
But Xie Mulin advised her: "It's better not to think too much about this kind of thing." Even if your mother has the heart to separate from Fang Wenshan now, most of them will not think that she did something wrong to take the property and harm people back then. Being in the territory of the Chengenhou Mansion, it doesn't make sense for your brothers and sisters to say such things to her, but it is easy to offend the master. I think it's best for you, eldest sister and eldest brother, not to give your mother ideas about reconciliation and separation. Whether she chooses to separate from Fang Wenshan in the end, or continue to be husband and wife, it has nothing to do with you. If you talk too much, I'm afraid that she will regret it and complain in the future. Anyway, she hasn't fallen to the point of being homeless, and now that the Cao family is still willing to support her, where can you two and a half children worry about it? ”
Xie Yinghui glanced at her: "Who is the half-old child?" I'm sixteen years old, older than you, okay?! ”
Xie Mulin smiled: "Okay, okay, you are not half-grown children, you are adults!" Anyway, you are still juniors, your mother now has money in her hands, there are people under her, and there are brothers and sisters to rely on, so you have to worry about the problem of providing for the elderly in the future, it's still early! What's more, how do you know she won't marry a third time? ”
Xie Yinghui spat her angrily, and originally wanted to scold her, but when she looked back and thought about it carefully, she began to be stunned again.
It's hard to say that! What if?
Xie Yinghui had goosebumps all over her body, and hurriedly grabbed Xie Mulin's hand and said, "No...... I don't see that kind of thing. Our family should not stay in the capital for too long, the people who should have seen have seen it, and the things that should be done are done, so let's leave quickly! When we go to Beiping, even if she ...... If she remarries, I don't know! ”
Xie Mulin looked funny: "Okay, even if she really wants to remarry, she has to reconcile with her current husband first, that is not something that can be done in ten days and a half months, and ten days and a half months is enough for us to do all the things that should be done in the capital and continue to go north." What do you have in mind? ”
Xie Yinghui clutched her chest and said, "Why don't I worry?" What the Cao family will do now, I can't be sure. The second prince and the Lin family have made them so embarrassed, and now that they have a turnaround, they will definitely retaliate back. On the side of the three princes, the queen and the crown prince are becoming more and more unpleasant, and the three princes themselves are not fuel-efficient lamps. I looked at the letters from Yurong and Feiyun, and I only felt that the capital would be a big quagmire next, and anyone who was not careful would fall into it. We're just passers-by, so it's better to stay away and don't fall into it again! ”
Xie Mulin listened curiously: "Did Miss Ma and Miss Lu also mention the current situation in the capital to you in the letter?" Can you tell me about it? It also allows me to be prepared and know how to restrain my family from going out to make trouble. "The circle of the royal family will definitely know more inside information than Xiao Rui, right?
Xie Yinghui sighed and said, "The current situation in the capital? Isn't it a mess yet? I heard that someone in the Cao family has now put forward the words that there is no heir in the Yan Wangfu, and began to discuss which prince is more suitable to succeed to the Yan Wang. This is clearly to exclude dissidents, but I don't know which prince will be unlucky? But none of the princes was a fuel-efficient lamp, so they swooped back...... I don't know what the mess will be! ”
