Xie Mulin, Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui, brother and sister, discussed until the third watch, and finally because the latter couldn't hold on, they stopped the small meeting and went to rest.

After nothing happened all night, they got up early the next morning, sat down together for breakfast, and by the way, confirmed their tasks for the day, and then went their separate ways.

The redness and swelling on Xie Yinghui's face have subsided a lot after applying the medicine, but it still looks obvious. In addition, she cried a few times, and deliberately made a little effort in her makeup, and when she went out, she looked very embarrassed and pitiful. She didn't know if she had any great skills when she was in and out of the palace with the Cao family in the past, and she specially dressed up a little more elegant and low-key than usual, which made her look more like a little white flower who had been bullied. Xie Mulin personally sent Xie Yinghui into the carriage, and he was still muttering in his heart that his eldest sister didn't know what talent she had lit up, why did she look like the direction of evolution was getting more and more crooked?

Lu Qi was knocked out yesterday and woke up in the middle of the night, but after waking up, she had severe pain in her back neck and dizziness. Although she insisted on waiting by the eldest lady's side, how could Xie Yinghui, who now trusted this big girl more and more, agree to her to work with an injury? Naturally, she was ordered to stay at home to recuperate. Xie Xianzhi lent her sister's familiar big girl Calamus, and Xie Mulin lent her a steady peach. Xie Yinghui took the two girls to the Yongning Eldest Princess's Mansion, and added Jia Da, who was clever and had made meritorious contributions, and the four guards who added the code, naturally they were foolproof.

After sending off his sister, Xie Xianzhi was also ready to go out. He planned to go around the street first, visit the shops that Cao Wentai particularly liked, and buy a few gifts as an excuse to come to the door. Shemulin approved a sum of money for him to use, and also asked him to bring a few more people just in case.

She also specially reminded her eldest brother: "It's best not to be soft-hearted, although it is your biological mother, but she is now thinking about that Fang Wenshan, I just don't know if Fang Wenshan fooled her, or if she should be really willing to do so." If Fang Wenshan coaxed her, it means that he is not a good person, and he doesn't know how he will use your mother in the future. What will happen to your mother when she is no longer useful? If the eldest brother is really filial, he should try his best to protect himself, protect the eldest sister, and try to thwart Fang Wenshan's conspiracy, so that he cannot succeed in his treacherous scheme. In this way, even if your mother is abandoned by Fang Wenshan in the future, you and your eldest sister still have the strength to help her, instead of watching her fall into a desperate situation, but you are powerless. ”

Xie Xianzhi listened solemnly: "What the second sister said is reasonable. At such a time, I must not relent! I'm doing well, my sister is doing well, and my mother will have a way back in the future. Even if she was confused by Fang Wenshan for a while, and did all kinds of wrong things, which was not tolerated by the Cao family, my sister and I were still her flesh and blood, and I wouldn't worry too much about her. When she comes to her senses in the future and is desperate, there will be our brothers and sisters to rely on. ”

He went out with his head held high.

Xie Mulin fell last, but he was not unhurried. She took care of a bunch of housework first, and then went to the courtyard of Jin Xuantang to look at Xie Yingrong, did not talk face-to-face, but just asked Aunt Da Jin, to make sure that this sister did not have any young moths today, but continued to mourn listlessly for her own marriage plan, and by the way, cursed the Bian Cheng family and the Zuo family, who had bad things for her, and left the big stall at home with confidence, and went to the direction of Luo Lang Lane in a carriage.

The shops in Luo Lang Lane started to get busy early in the morning. Due to the taboo of the Cao family's power in the capital, the Xie family did not dare to do business on a large scale in Beijing, except for the banquet venue rental business in Guiyuan, as well as the rental of houses outside the Xie family's mansion, the shopkeeper Mao only did some work in Jinling City to buy goods. Unless it was a trusted regular customer, he hardly sold anything to people in the capital.

The shop is just a place for transit and the guys to stop, and the goods collected from all over the south of the Yangtze River are transferred here and transported to the north; Most of the goods transported along the canal from the north were also transferred here and transported to cities in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's the beginning of spring, and all kinds of business transactions relying on waterways are booming again. On the one hand, the shopkeeper Mao has to arrange for those old guys to recuperate and evacuate the capital, and on the other hand, he has to sign for the goods sent by the shopkeeper from all over the country, pack and load them, and prepare the treasurer and Ye Jinrong as soon as they come back, they can set off to the north. However, his subordinates are already limited, and he has to take care of the old guys who are not in good health, and he has to send people to contact the ship, so many things can only be handled by himself, and he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to drink. Finally after the urgent matter at hand was handled, Xie Mulin came.

Shopkeeper Mao hurriedly invited people to the tea room used to entertain guests in the backyard, and asked while pouring tea: "Why did the second girl come?" If you have something, just send someone to explain. There are shops around here, and now there are people coming and going, and there are some rough people who don't know how to be polite, if any of them collide with you, then how can it be good? ”

Xie Mulin smiled and invited him to sit down: "I brought a lot of people with me, it's okay." I came here today because I have something important to tell Uncle Mao. If you send someone to bring the message, you are afraid that the person who transmits the message will not have a good memory and miss a sentence and a half, which will be bad. ”

Shopkeeper Mao drank most of the cup of tea, and hurriedly threw away the teacup when he heard the words: "What's wrong?" Second girl, please speak. ”

Xie Mulin told him what Xie Yinghui encountered yesterday, as well as the tone revealed in the conversations of Cao Shuqing's master and servant.

Shopkeeper Mao suddenly gasped, and was stunned for a while before he reacted: "In the past, this lady has always been domineering, but in the past, she was pressed by the old man and didn't let her put her hand into our family's industry, and she didn't have the ability to do anything in the business field, so it stopped." But our family still lost a few shops to go in, and they all called the so-called henchmen she sent to ruin it, which made people feel distressed when they saw it. originally thought that those were the industries of our Xie family, and that lady didn't regard herself as a member of the Xie family, so she didn't feel distressed about ruining the shop. Unexpectedly, now she doesn't even let go of her own biological daughter, and when she sends her daughter out, doesn't she feel distressed? Where in the world is there such a mother?! ”

Xie Mulin said: "At this time, it is meaningless to ask whether the Cao family has a loving mother's heart. This is something that big brothers and sisters have to care about, and it has nothing to do with us. I just want to know what Fang Wenshan did in Beiping City. They believe that their father is deliberately embarrassing them, so that Fang Wenshan cannot save his friend, so will they take any retaliatory action? Although his father is an official in Beiping, Fang Wenshan is a military general, and there are people under him, how can civil officials confront them? They will come to Beijing to arrest the eldest sister, and it doesn't look like they want to give up. Is there any news from Beiping here? My brother and sister were very worried. ”

Shopkeeper Mao thought for a while: "After the winter in the north, the canal will gradually stop sailing. Our family mainly relies on the canal to carry goods, and rarely travels by land, but when there is an urgent letter, we will send people to ride fast horses to hurry. But after the Chinese New Year, all these things stopped, and I still haven't received any more letters from the north. I only heard a few words muttered from the shopkeeper Jin, saying that in the autumn and winter of last year, His Royal Highness King Yan found that there was a problem with the winter clothes of the soldiers in the army, and began to check the accounts of the materials in the army, and also arrested a few people with unclean hands and feet, and two businesses that made quilts were also involved. When the golden shopkeeper went south, this matter was not over, but I was afraid that I would continue to arrest people, and I don't know if General Fang's friend was planted because of this matter. ”

If it is really planted because of this kind of thing, and it involves materials in the army, it may be a big case. Don't say that Xie Pujin doesn't say anything, he just doesn't say a word, and it is impossible for King Yan to gently let go of the people involved in the case!
