Xie Yinghui now does not have the Cao family and her mother Cao Shuqing to provide all kinds of valuables, even if she has Ma Yurong, a friend, it is impossible for people to give her a few carts of things as New Year's gifts, so the New Year's gift for Mrs. Xie is just four brocades, an ivory Buddha card and an agarwood bracelet.

However, with Xie Mulin's various persuasions and brainwashing, Mrs. Xie now knows that her eldest granddaughter's economic situation is average, but she does not dislike it, but she also asks to see what is on other people's gift lists.

Wen's only has a string of southern red bracelets, two boxes of palace powder and two brocades, and the color of the brocade is still light and elegant, which is not in line with Mrs. Xie's preferences.

Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi are two new books published by the imperial court printing workshop this year, plus a number of four treasures of the study. The former also got two more velvet and a box of ancient ink, which was obviously done with care. It was about Xie Yinghui who felt that her brother could get the stationery and official printing of new books made in the house every year, but this year was not too pitiful, so she specially paid out of her own pocket to make up for her brother? As for Xie Jinzhi, that's in passing. However, considering Xie Yinghui's disgusted attitude towards the mother and son in the second room in the past, it is already a great improvement to be able to remember to give Xie Jinzhi a gift now. Even if there are some eccentric siblings, others don't have anything to say.

Xie Mulin got two tribute silks with pink colors, a number of palace flowers and palace powder, and a pair of high-quality jade bracelets.

In addition, Xie Huizhi and Xie Hanzhi each got a set of four treasures of the high-grade study, and Xie Yingfen got the same as Xie Mulin, only missing the jade bracelet. Xie Yinghui has never looked down on her younger siblings, and it is already a surprise that she can remember to give them gifts. Except for Xie Huizhi, who was a little depressed and the four treasures of the study he got were not to his liking at all, everyone felt very satisfied.

Mrs. Xie was also very satisfied, because her gifts were the largest and most valuable. Although the number is not satisfactory, she at least does not have to worry about running out of decent new clothes to wear for the Chinese New Year this year. On the way south, her private house was seriously damaged, and she had long thought about finding a way to subsidize it, and her eldest granddaughter was willing to honor her things, of course she was happy.

Anyway, Xie Yinghui's letter had already been read, and Mrs. Xie could be regarded as having heard the bad news of the enemy, and she was in a good mood, so she didn't say anything too much, so she hurriedly beckoned Pearl to leave, planning to get the New Year's gift and take it back to the backyard to take a closer look. It's already Layue, and if you want to make new clothes, you have to start work as soon as possible, otherwise where will you be in time? !

Before leaving, she specially instructed the Wen family: "You don't give any of the things that Hui Yatou sent back, you don't give one of them to the sect and the second room, you know?" My granddaughter's filial piety is not allowed to take advantage of them! ”

Wen reluctantly sent her mother-in-law away, and looked back at her children, all with a wry smile on their faces.

How could they agree to such an unreasonable demand? Xie Yinghui is not a child who does not understand the sophistication of human feelings, and among the things sent back, a part has already been divided, and a sign has been pasted on it, indicating which room and which elder it was sent to. Not only is there a sect room, but the Song family in the second room is no exception, and even Xie Meijun's family of four has not been missed. Xie Yinghui knew who saved her father, and since she didn't despise the Cao family, of course she wouldn't be a white-eyed wolf.

In the end, Wen could only tell the family not to mention any New Year's gifts in front of Mrs. Xie, lest she be angry. But in private, what should be given is still to be sent, this is to make a face for Xie Yinghui, so that the clansmen will not have any bad impressions before she returns to her hometown, and at the same time, it is also to maintain the image of Mrs. Xie. The latter's reputation among the Xie clan was already ugly enough.

After reading the letter, Wen felt distressed that Xie Yinghui was not feeling well now, and this New Year would definitely be very sad in the capital, and he thought about sending someone to send her some things again, so he took Wanqin and quickly got busy. Xie Xianzhi smiled and instructed the girl next to him, Jiang Pu, to take the little brothers and sisters to receive their share of the New Year's gift, but when he turned around, he gave Xie Jinzhi and Xie Mulin a look, suggesting that they go back to Cedar Courtyard with him.

Xie Mulin and Xie Jinzhi did so. When he arrived at the study of Cedar Academy, Xie Mulin was the first to speak: "But the eldest sister attached a secret letter to her reply, mentioning the previous incident?" ”

Xie Xianzhi nodded and took out an open letter: "Before the old lady came over, I took the time to read this letter." Things worked out smoothly. ”

Xie Jinzhi took the letter and handed it to his sister. Xie Mulin opened the letter and said, "That's good. A few days ago, the third brother came to tell me that Xiao Rui was here, as if he had something to say, but when he saw someone, he heard that he was urgently summoned to Hangzhou, and he didn't know what happened. He didn't even have time to keep a letter, and I kept going up and down in my heart, for fear that something would happen in Beijing. Now I can finally feel at ease. ”

She quickly scanned the contents of the letter. Sure enough, Xie Yinghui wrote everything she knew in the letter, and the specific details were not clear, but Xiao Rui did invite his father Xiao Mingde to come forward to talk to the third prince secretly, and the third prince handed over the embroidery afterwards. Xiao Mingde gave the things to Xiao Rui as they were, and Xiao Rui handed them over to Ma Yurong as they were. After Ma Yurong checked everything, she knew that Zhao Ying and the third prince had no real personal relationship, so she quickly returned the embroidery to Zhao Ying.

It is said that Zhao Ying threw the embroidery into the brazier and burned it to ashes in front of the messenger, not caring at all that it was a fine product that she spent a lot of time and energy embroidering. She seemed to think it was something dirty, and when she was done, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Ma Yurong didn't care about Zhao Ying's approach, and she hid the whole thing from her family. Xie Yinghui said that her secrecy was not only to protect Zhao Ying's reputation, but also to restrain Zhao Ying herself. If Zhao Ying marries into the Ma family in the future and makes any mistakes, Ma Yurong will not mind revealing the secret. Therefore, for the sake of her own future, after Zhao Ying marries into the Ma family, she will also serve her mother-in-law wholeheartedly, take care of her husband, and be a good grandmother of Masan.

When Xie Mulin saw this, his heart moved slightly.

The attitude shown by Xiao Rui and the tone he leaked out did not seem to be that Zhao Ying and the third prince had no personal relationship. But now Ma Yurong believes so...... Could it be that when Xiao Rui transferred the so-called Zhao Ying's private belongings to Ma Yurong, he privately withheld some key items, or did the third prince not hand over the things at all?

However, Zhao Ying will breathe a sigh of relief after burning the embroidery, and it doesn't look like there is any important handle in the hands of the third prince.

Xie Mulin secretly regretted that he couldn't meet Xiao Rui, otherwise he would have been able to figure out the truth.

The letter was not finished, and she continued to read it.

After Xie Yinghui finished writing about Zhao Ying, she turned her pen and mentioned her sister Xie Yingrong again. She mentioned Xie Yingrong's strange words and deeds after hearing about the selection of the crown princess, as well as the sudden serious illness, as well as Xie Yingrong's babbling during his illness.

Xie Yinghui doesn't know what "rebirth" and "crossing" are, she only knows how shocking her sister's nonsense is, and what consequences it will lead to if outsiders know about it. She couldn't bear it anymore, she wanted to plug Xie Yingrong's nonsense!

Xie Mulin was suddenly shocked in his heart, remembering Xie Yingrong's illness mentioned in the letter, and suddenly had a terrible conjecture.
