Chapter 420: Branching Out

"Lianzhu? A true gentleman? ”

After listening to Xie Xianzhi's explanation, Xiao Rui couldn't help but show a blank look. He didn't quite understand what Xie Xianzhi meant by the words he brought for his sister?

Xie Xianzhi was a little embarrassed, and explained in a hesitant manner: "The younger daughter of the eldest princess of Yongning is a close friend in the boudoir. Miss Ma ...... a few days ago I have some ...... with His Royal Highness the Third Prince argued, and wanted to find the third prince to make his words clear, but the third prince either avoided it or refused to talk to her alone. But in front of the others, Miss Ma couldn't speak...... Seeing that she was embarrassed, the sister thought that our family mentioned in the letter to the family that Xiao Ergongzi was in Huyin, so she wanted me to ask Xiao Ergongzi to give a message to the third prince. Although this sound like a bit of a beginning, the third prince knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. If Xiao Er Gongzi doesn't feel troublesome, can he ...... How about helping to pass that on the line? ”

Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows: "Lianzhu, I know, she used to be a palace person waiting by His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but she has been out of the palace for many years." If there is any dispute between Miss Ma and the Third Prince...... How can it be so connected? ”

Xie Xianzhi said dryly: "This...... I don't know, my sister asked me to pass on such a sentence, and I didn't change a word, I told Xiao Ergongzi a word. The specific inside story, the sister did not elaborate. ”

Xiao Rui looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Could it be that Lianzhu was outside the palace and accidentally offended Miss Ma?" Miss Ma was worried that Lianzhu had served the Third Highness, so she went to the Third Highness and asked him not to protect Lianzhu? ”

Xie Xianzhi saw that his words were suspected of discrediting Ma Yurong's character, and hurriedly defended his sister's best friend: "That's not the case, Xiao Ergongzi misunderstood!" Miss Ma and her sister both know Lianzhu's identity, Miss Ma has known Lianzhu since she was a child, and Lianzhu has also sent her something, so she naturally knows her identity, how can she offend her if she has nothing to do? Miss Ma mentioned her when she talked to her sister, just to remind the third prince what was the matter, it was purely a reason. Miss Ma found out because she met Lianzhu by chance......"

Xie Mulin coughed heavily, Xie Xianzhi suddenly realized that he almost missed his mouth, and his previous words seemed to have revealed too much information, in case Xiao Rui noticed the truth, it would be troublesome. He quickly shut up.

Xiao Rui was stunned, and his face slowly showed a somewhat complicated expression.

Xie Mulin noticed the change in his expression, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, secretly thinking that it could be that his eldest brother could let Xiao Rui guess the truth with a few words? This brain is spinning too fast, right? However, this also proves in disguise that Xiao Rui is very likely to be an insider. Is the so-called private relationship between the three princes and Zhao Ying really as the latter said?

There was silence in the room. Xie Xianzhi moved his body a little uneasily. Xie Mulin smiled again, pretending to be casual and said to Xiao Rui: "If it is convenient for Second Prince Xiao, can you give this sentence to the Third Prince for us?" Of course, if it's really inconvenient, we don't dare to force it. After all, Miss Ma and my eldest sister are so roundabout that anyone will find it strange. However, my eldest sister is in Beijing, without the support of elders, and thanks to the eldest princess of Yongning and Miss Ma's mother and daughter for several months, she has suffered a lot of grievances. Now Miss Ma just wants to ask our family to do a little favor, and we naturally won't shirk a word. If there is any offense, please don't be surprised by Xiao Ergongzi. ”

"Don't dare to be." Xiao Rui smiled reluctantly, "It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning to me." The Xie family has also helped us a lot to Jin Shanwei, if even such a trivial matter, I have to shirk it, who has it become? Master Xie, Miss Xie, don't worry, leave this matter to me. ”

Xie Xianzhi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a busy smile: "I'm tired of Xiao Ergongzi." The sister was also messing around, and she took a detour hundreds of miles away to give a message to the three highnesses who were also in Beijing, and I don't know what she thought. But she also has good intentions to help her close friend, please don't laugh at her. ”

Xiao Rui smiled, turned his head to look in the direction of the door, and strode into the house with a big basket in one hand: "Two Young Master Xie, these are all local products from our Jinshan, not worth a few dollars, and there is nothing else to win." You must not be polite, you must accept it! If you refuse again, you won't take our Jinshanwei in your eyes! ”

With such a big hat covered, where did Xie Xianzhi dare to refuse? I had to accept it with a smile. Xie Mulin took the basket and saw that it was covered with a big red cotton cloth, although she couldn't see what was inside, she seemed to be vaguely able to smell the fishy smell of dried seafood, as well as an obvious smell of medicinal wine.

Dry? Wine? You can understand what Kingsoft's specialty is, but this combination is very fresh...... Put it together, aren't you afraid of skewers?

Xie Mulin decided to get on the boat for a while, and immediately readjusted the contents of the two baskets and placed them separately, so that the dry goods would not be contaminated with the smell of medicinal wine and would not be able to cook and eat.

Xiao Rui smiled and said to the beard: "We don't have many people left now, we only live in a few rooms in the front yard, and the rest of the place has been cleaned up." It's better for my brother to lead Mr. Xie to go around, hand over to each other, and put on the seal, which also saves us time to do these things when we leave, and delays the brothers' trips in vain. ”

The beard hurriedly said, "It's a good idea. If there is a house that has not been cleaned up, or if there are furniture and objects damaged, the young master of the Xie family will find it in time, and we will make amends. Otherwise, when we wait until the day we are going to leave, we will find that there is something wrong, we will not have time to remedy it, and we can only leave regrets, then we will be so sorry for the host's family! ”

Xie Xianzhi politely refused, but Xiao Rui was very insistent: "Our Jinshan Guard is strictly disciplined, and we will not leave trouble for the master's family wherever we go." Master Xie, I know you have good intentions, but the rules are like this, we can't break the rules! ”

Xie Xianzhi was speechless, so he could only follow the beard. He originally wanted to call Xie Mulin, after all, Xie Mulin was the one who lived in the old mansion for a long time and knew every grass and tree here, but before he could speak, Xiao Rui had already taken the lead: "Second son Xie, I don't know if there is any news about the matter that I asked you to inquire about before?" ”

Xie Xianzhi didn't know what news Xiao Ruituo's second sister had inquired about, but he had already asked Xie Huiyi once before, but he didn't think much about it, and he was about to go out when he saw Luo Rui holding his arm, he thought that Xiao Rui was a righteous gentleman, this house was his own, and his own servants were waiting in the courtyard, and he was not afraid that something would happen to his sister, so he gave Xie Mulin a look, suggesting that she was waiting here with peace of mind, and was pulled away by the beard.

Xie Mulin looked helpless. How could she not see that Xiao Rui deliberately used his beard to take away his eldest brother and want to be alone with her? But that's nothing. In fact, she also has something to say, and she wants to tell Xiao Rui alone.

Xie Mulin sat still and smiled at Xiao Rui: "I don't remember what Second Prince Xiao asked me to inquire about before." You asked my third brother to inquire before, he should have told you, right? I also asked Xiao Ergongzi to give me a hint so that I can remember. ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "That's just an excuse." Miss Xie Er is a smart person, how could she not understand my intentions? Between you and me, there is no need to talk this nonsense. He paused for a moment before he asked tentatively, "What is the purpose of the Yongning Eldest Princess's Mansion and Sister Ling entrusting me to give a message to His Royal Highness the Third Prince?" ”

"I don't know." Xie Mulin said very humiliatingly, "My eldest sister didn't mention the details in the family letter. I thought Xiao Ergongzi knew it! ”

Xiao Rui narrowed his eyes and sat up straight.
