When Xie Mulin walked into the main courtyard, he still had a smile on his face.

She was very happy. Although his second brother was once affected by Xiao Rui's bleak life experience, his attitude towards him changed greatly, but he was not confused. Even if the second brother's impression of Xiao Rui improves, he will not easily let his sister out. What about Xiao Rui's miserable sales and positive sales? The second brother is just taking him into consideration, and he has to go through a long period of investigation.

The second brother is still her second brother. Xiao Rui didn't take advantage of it either.

Xie Mulin and Xie Jin said, according to the reasons they had thought in advance, and told their mother Wen the news that Xie Jiawan's old mansion had new tenants. Wen Shi frowned and said, "That's it, since it was the people from the Thousand Households in Pingwang Town who opened their mouths, we have no reason to refuse." I have already formed a good relationship with Jin Shanwei's people before, and it would be a pity if I gave up halfway. Fortunately, the old lady doesn't mention going back to live now, so let's not mention it in front of her old man, and it won't be a big deal. Since that Zheng Zongqi said that we send our daily needs to the past, and the thousands of households in Pingwang Town will spend money to buy them, then we are not too much of a loss. It's just that those sick soldiers, shouldn't they have the epidemic again? Although none of our family members live in Xiejiawan, there are still tenants of the clan there after all, and there are villagers in the back mountains, so don't get sick. ”

Xie Mulin hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, I have asked, the sick people are just ordinary cold and weak or something, and they do not have infectious diseases, mainly a few people who have been injured and need a quiet place to recuperate." You also know that the Qianhu Office in Pingwang Town has just changed the person in charge, and the officers have almost completely purged, and at least eighty percent of the people below remain. That Zeng Qianhu had just arrived, and he had a bad time with Huang Qianhu and others before him because of the case of pretending to be a homeless person for the water bandits, and the soldiers and petty officers who stayed behind didn't know if they would block Zeng Qianhu and them. Sending injured colleagues to a safer and quieter place to recuperate is also a helpless arrangement. They want to trust us, so how can we say no? ”

Wen nodded: "I see, that's it." However, if you say that those people will leave after the beginning of spring, don't stay for too long. I'm afraid that after the weather gets warmer, the old lady will make a fuss again, clamoring to go back to the old house. How will I explain it then? ”

Now I hide the fact that the old house lives in an outsider from Mrs. Xie is for the sake of purifying my ears and saving Mrs. Xie trouble. But if Mrs. Xie knew the truth and knew that her family was hiding it from her, she was afraid that she would be even more angry, right?

Xie Jinzhi and Xie Mulin both laughed when they heard this, and hurriedly said, "No, no." "By that time, both the sick and the injured will probably be in good health. As long as Xiao Rui's order is down, they can go north at any time. Huyin County is not far from Hangzhou, so they won't be happy to stay in a place that is not safe enough.

In order to avoid the leakage of news, Xie Mulin used the excuse of sharing his mother's worries and took over the task of sending daily supplies to the old house, Wen only needed to send a few people to her, and the silver Zheng Feng would send it soon, and the materials could be purchased if they had money, and there was no need to alarm the rest of the family.

Wen didn't mind his daughter helping him, but he was a little worried: "What are you doing in the old mansion all day long?" Even if you dress up as a man and bring someone with you, you are still a girl, and everyone in the whole clan knows it, which makes people look unbelievable. Besides, in this cold weather, if you go out every day, you are not afraid of freezing and getting sick? ”

Xie Mulin said with a smile: "I only need to take someone to go through the process for the first time, know how many things to buy, how much it will cost, and know in my heart, it's okay, where is the need to run every day?" Since I have some men under him, I will just call them. Now that I've got the accounts clear, am I afraid they'll fool me? ”

Wen Shi laughed when he heard this: "This is the right reason. Then you should think that you are learning to be a housekeeper, and start with the small things of purchasing. ”

She gave her daughter an empty account book, and the method of bookkeeping had been taught before, and she paid ten taels of silver to her daughter as an advance in case of emergency, and then called the housekeeper and asked him to lead her daughter to the person who called it, and then she did not ask any more.

Xie Mulin pulled his brother Xie Jin to pick people, and picked two middle-aged servants who were strong and honest, one was brought back from the capital, and the other was originally waiting in the new house. The three of them would be rewarded with an additional errand fee, and Xie Mulin also rewarded them with an extra amount of money, telling them to keep their mouths shut about what they were going to do next, and not to tell anyone who came to inquire, and not to leak it to relatives, friends, and outsiders.

Xie Mulin actually managed the family with the Wen family for two or three months, and he knew the prices in Huyin County, and his remarks in front of the Wen family were just a cover-up. After she had picked someone, she had to talk to Xie Jin, and under the pretext of going into the city to buy things, she went to the Du Family Hospital to ask for a doctor.

The doctors of the Du family have good medical ethics, their tone is very tight, and they have never leaked patients' information at will. With Xie Jinzhi coming forward, Du Erye pointed out that a doctor who was good at trauma would go to him without saying a word. Of course, in addition to treating external injuries, this doctor can also deal with other common diseases.

Xie Mulin and Xie Jinzhi immediately invited the doctor to have a simple but sumptuous lunch in a clean restaurant in the city, and then took the daily necessities and food they had purchased, got on the boat again, and sailed together in the direction of Xie Jiawan.

When he arrived at the pier in front of the old house, Xie Mulin saw at a glance that his boat had returned from Qianwan Village, and only one boatman was left on the boat to guard it, and the rest of the people were not there, so I was afraid that he had gone into the old house to help. One of the men she brought with her asked the boatman a few words, and unsurprisingly came up with the same answer.

When they were about to get off the boat, Xie Mulin was stopped by his brother Xie Jinzhi: "Leave the rest to me." The second sister is waiting on the boat, and when it's over, I'll bring someone back. ”

Xie Mulin knew that he was worried that there were many outsiders in the old mansion, including many men, and she was a girl's family, so it was inconvenient for her to show her head in front of strangers. Although she felt that this kind of thing was nothing important, but the second brother gave her a lot of surprises today, and she was also willing to be a good obedient sister, so she agreed.

Xie Jinzhi took the doctor and his subordinates and carried things into the old mansion. Xie Mulin stayed on the boat, sat in the cabin, pulled out a book and read it slowly, but he was not bored. It was windy on the river, and she was a little cold, and after sitting for a while, she sneezed twice in a row. The two boatmen guarding the boat also shrank their heads and sighed, eager to find a sheltered place to hide.

After thinking about it, Xie Mulin put his book on his sleeve and said to them, "Go into the cabin and take shelter from the wind, and I will go to the concierge and sit down." Remember that there were charcoal basins there, which were warmer than in the boat. ”

The boatman on the boat on her side said, "Second girl, the second young master has instructed you not to enter the old mansion." ”

Xie Mulin said with a smile: "The second brother is afraid that I will be hit by someone, but when I look from here, I can see that the door of the old mansion is open, and there are no people in the front yard. I used to keep warm, even if I met outsiders. I'm dressed as a man, and I'm in my own home, what's there to worry about? Is there really something, call out, and you're afraid that no one will come to help? ”

The boatman thought about it, so he didn't persuade him anymore, but just reminded Xie Mulin: "The second girl should be careful, don't just read books." Now there are many outsiders in the house, which is not as good as before. ”

Xie Mulin answered, skillfully jumped off the boat, walked down the dock and walked directly to the old mansion.

There was no one in the gatehouse, but the charcoal basin was burning brightly. Xie Mulin hurriedly leaned over to roast his hands.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door behind him, and Xie Mulin looked back, it was Xiao Rui who came, still carrying a basket in his hand.
