When Xie Mulin changed into clothes to go out and got into the carriage and left, Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui didn't ask Xiao Rui about it anymore, but just sent their sister out. Xie Mulin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This time she was confused, I hope that the eldest brother Xie Xianzhi will not ask again in the future, otherwise she will not be so lucky every time.

After she returned to Huyin, it was estimated that she would not stay for long, but after going to Beiping, since Xie Xianzhi would also accompany her, she would probably have to think about the way to communicate secretly with Xiao Rui. It is not advisable to cut off contact completely, since the young man said that he would ask to marry her, how can he let her know what he has been doing all these years, whether he has changed his mind, and what changes have he made? Otherwise, how can she accept the other party's pursuit with confidence?

This is not the age of free love. As a deep girl, she can't be the only suitor for the rest of her life, and she always has to know more about him in order to trust her for life, right? If she marries a non-person, is it possible for her to learn from her second aunt Xie Meijun, and she can't accept that she can continue to live with her husband, but for the sake of her children, she can't be ruthless and separate, so she has to sacrifice a non-slippery property and live separately, and she can't pursue new happiness?

Xie Mulin secretly thought about the next plan in his heart, and unconsciously arrived at Luo Lang Lane.

The Xie family's shop in Luo Lang Lane is still busy. The shopkeeper Mao looked tired, but he still spoke with a sense of energy and did things in an orderly manner.

Xie Mulin walked into the shop, and was immediately discovered by him, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "The second girl is here?" Let's serve tea at the back. As he spoke, the workers who stood in front of Xie Mulin and cut off her from coming and going escorted her all the way to the reception room in the backyard.

Before Xie Mulin could tell him the latest news, the shopkeeper Mao spoke first: "Second girl, I have already inquired before, the guys of our family business in Beiping should have sent a letter to Beijing at this time, telling us what goods are selling in Beiping this spring and summer." But somehow, this year, the letter was not sent directly to me, but went directly to Huyin County. ”

Xie Mulin was stunned: "What? ”

The shopkeeper told her: "It was told to me by the guy from the boat company who was familiar with our family, saying that when he was walking through the canal through Zhenjiang a few days ago, he happened to meet someone from our family, and was about to send an urgent letter to his hometown in Huyin." The guy also stepped forward to talk to our family for a few words, and the man came and went in a hurry, as if there was something urgent, saying that he couldn't be delayed, and there was no way to go to eat and drink with him, and he had to wait for the next time to see him, and then be the host to make amends for him.

The man at the boat said that the man was in the dust, and described him as haggard, but he was afraid that he had come a long way. Just in case, he asked the man if something happened to the Xie family, and the man said no, but the owner had a letter that needed to be handed to the family, and it seemed that there was something urgent to do. The man didn't say what it was, and the guy from the boat company didn't ask much, but after entering Beijing, he happened to meet me and mentioned it. I wanted to inquire about the news from me, but I didn't expect to let me know the reason why Beiping's letter was late. ”

Xie Mulin immediately understood that Xie Pu didn't want to hide his injury from his family, but he believed in his heart that his wife Wen was in Huyin, and if he wanted to inform his family, he would only send the letter to Huyin. Not to mention that the news from the north and south was cut off in winter, he may not have known that a pair of children had come to Beijing to pick up people, and even if he knew, he did not tell a few half-grown children about important matters, but did not inform the wife in charge. If he really wanted to urge his family to go to Beijing to take care of his daily life, he would only make this request to his wife Wen.

Shopkeeper Mao didn't know what she was thinking, and said dryly: "I guess, if the master really didn't have an accident, there was no need to send someone to send an urgent letter back to his hometown." But seeing that person is still in the mood to deal with outsiders, and it doesn't look like something big has happened, I guess it's okay, right? The second girl doesn't have to worry. ”

Xie Mulin smiled and said, "Daddy is fine. A friend of mine was on his way north when he heard the news of his father's attack and told me about it. I already know what happened to my father when he was in distress, and I was very lucky, His Royal Highness King Yan happened to be nearby with the royal guards, and when he saw that his father had an accident, he rushed over to rescue him, and he also captured an attacker alive and was interrogating. Daddy had a little skin wound on his left arm and a crutch on his foot, but it didn't matter. It's just that I discussed with my big brothers and sisters, and I felt that my father was too attentive to official business, so I was injured, and I went back to the yamen to work the next day, and I didn't pay attention to recuperation at all, so I planned to go back to Huyin as soon as possible, and then pack my bags and go to Beiping with my mother to take care of my father. ”

She entrusted the matter of booking the ship to the shopkeeper Mao. Because they are in a hurry, they may not be able to take the waterway detour when they return to Huyin, there is a Xie Xianzhi who is not in good health and Xie Yinghui, who has not healed from his old injuries, Xie Yingrong is also sick and crooked, and he has to be careful along the way. But from Huyin to Beiping, they mainly have to take a boat to take the canal. In order to meet Xie Pu as soon as possible, they could no longer travel slowly, and it was better to find a fleet with a more compact schedule. It would be great if there was one kind of passenger boat that was designed to pick up only a group of passengers, and that could take care of the journey properly along the way and speed up the journey. Money is not an issue.

Shopkeeper Mao was first relieved by the news of Xie Pu's safety, and then began to worry about his injury, and when he heard Xie Mulin's request, he immediately patted his chest and agreed: "Leave it to me!" Although our family usually deals with familiar boat companies, I don't know people from other boat companies. I know that after the beginning of spring, there are several shipping companies that have passenger ships and cargo ships going north, and there must have been fleets of ships carrying fresh goods that had to be rushed. Let's charter a boat and go with them, and it will be a lot easier on the way. If the wives, young masters, and girls can hold up their bodies, they will be able to arrive in Beiping in less than a month at the earliest. ”

Xie Mulin hurriedly said: "This is the best, the water route is much smoother than the land route." When our family returned to their hometowns before, they already had the experience of traveling by boat, so they will definitely be able to adapt to it. Uncle Mao, you can book a boat for us as soon as possible. When my eldest brother and sister and I return to Huyin, it is estimated that we will set off again as soon as possible. ”

Shopkeeper Mao responded, went out and called his most capable guys to hand over his work first, and he gave priority to the matter of booking ships. He also told Xie Mulin that when there was news, he would immediately go to the Pearl Bridge Mansion to inform their brothers and sisters, so that she could go back and wait for the news with peace of mind.

Now that the matter of booking the ship is in order, Xie Mulin can also breathe a sigh of relief. When she left the shop, she felt hungry, and on the way home, she sent someone to buy a few duck fat baked cakes to cushion her stomach, and thought of a few sets of words to deal with her brothers and sisters, before she stepped into the house with peace of mind.

Fortunately, Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui didn't have time to ask her about Xiao Rui, the former knew that he had to leave as soon as possible, so he went to Jiao's house to say goodbye, and said that he would go to Chengenhou Mansion again tomorrow and try to see his mother Cao Shuqing again. As for Xie Yinghui, she is preparing a gift for her friend Ma Yurong, and plans to go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion in person tomorrow to officially bid farewell to her friend, and does not plan to wait until the burn is completely healed.

Xie Mulin was not very relieved, and planned to accompany her on a trip to ask the imperial doctor how to end her injury.

But the next morning, the three brothers and sisters failed to go out as planned. Because the shopkeeper Mao suddenly arrived at home and told them a shocking news.

Wen, who was originally in Huyin's hometown, after receiving a letter from her husband Xie Pu, had immediately packed her luggage and set off, took a carriage to the capital, and booked a boat, and after meeting her children in Beijing, she was going north to Beiping immediately.
