The three Xie Mulin sisters returned to Chengbi Mountain House with the Wen family, and the subordinates who had been sent back to the city happened to come back and also brought them Xie Pu's reply.

Xie Pu confirmed that he would not come to Zizhu Courtyard to spend today's rest day. In fact, he went back to the yamen early this morning, and the rest day became a working day. Recently, there have been a lot of things in the yamen, and he is a little too busy, so he doesn't plan to squeeze time out of the city to enjoy the mountains and rivers. However, he would love to see his wife and children occasionally happily relax, so that Wen could only take the children to stay in Zizhuyuan for two more days. As for the family, everything is normal, and everything is still there.

Although Wen was very impressed by her husband's thoughtfulness, she was obviously very unimpressed by his approach. She asked the person who delivered the letter, and learned that Xie Pu didn't fall asleep at the time she usually set last night, and had been reading the official document and staying up late until the third watch! The two old men in the family live in other courtyards, and they won't know the work and rest of Xie Pu's son, and who dares to care about him in the main courtyard? Both aunts are only docile and obedient! But Xie Pu is already almost forty years old, where can he endure such hard work?

Wen couldn't sit still, so he said to his daughters, "Let's go home after lunch?" After playing this day, it's pretty much the same. The scenery in the garden is certainly very beautiful, but Princess Yan and the county lord also have something to do, so we stay just to disturb others, so it is better to go back early. There's a big mess at home, we're not at home, and we don't know what it's going on. ”

In fact, the three girls all knew that she was worried about Xie Pu, where was it because of these reasons in her mouth? But they all nodded yes with a look of disc.

Xie Mulin said with a smile: "Our family has always had a good relationship with the Yan Palace, and the princess and princess don't come often, if you want to come to this garden to play again one day in the future, just ask the princess, and I am not in a hurry at this time." ”

Xie Yinghui also nodded: "The garden is obviously going to gather craftsmen to build a house or something, it's a mess, and there's nothing fun for us to stay, so let's just wait for the garden to be built." If the family of the eldest princess of Yongning really wants to go to this garden to escape the summer, our family must come and go often, so I am afraid that there will be no chance to play again? ”

Xie Yingfen covered her mouth and smiled: "It's easy for us to do, but I don't know how my brothers are?" I'm afraid that they are very reluctant to collect books in the Youxian Mountain Museum, right? ”

The others couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. Of course, this kind of thing is very likely to happen, but if Wen really decides to leave after lunch, it is impossible to really leave the three Xie Xianzhi brothers behind. and Xie Huizhi, who went out of the garden with Xiao Xu to wander, should also send someone to find it back.

Wen first took Xie Yinghui and Xie Mulin to bid farewell to Princess Yan.

Princess Yan was discussing something with Aunt Wu Qiongye, and when Xie Mulin entered the house, he heard them discussing the matter of the project money. Knowing Wen's intention, Princess Yan was a little surprised, and then showed guilt: "I neglected my in-laws." ”

Wen Shi hurriedly said: "The princess is serious. The princess's arrangement is very thoughtful and excellent, our mother and son have a comfortable and leisurely life in the garden, I really want to live a few more days! It's just that our family is also a mess, and the old man is busy with official business, so he can't be distracted to take care of the elderly. With two elderly ladies at home, how can I take the kids out to play with me? It is already a blessing to have this day of recreation. ”

Princess Yan sighed and smiled, "It's okay." I also have a great deal of chores to attend to in this garden, and I know your troubles. You are a filial daughter-in-law, and I can't force you to stay. So let's do it this time, and when the weather gets hot, and we both have leisure, I'll invite you and your family to stay in the garden for a while. When the time comes, even the old ladies in the house and Lord Xie will be invited together, and Mrs. Xie can't shirk it anymore! ”

Wen Shi smiled and thanked him repeatedly, and the two exchanged a few words, and Princess Yan said: "Chonglin asked me to send out on errands, and this time I will not be in the garden." I didn't prepare it beforehand, but I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back for lunch. Since you are going back to the city, I will send someone to accompany you back by boat. With the people of our Yanwang Mansion here, the officers and soldiers who are responsible for guarding on both sides of the waterway along the road will not ask too much. ”

Wen, Xie Yinghui, and Xie Mulin all thanked in unison. Princess Yan looked at the latter with a smile again: "These days are really busy, when these trivial matters are over, the palace is free, and you sisters will come to sit and talk to me and Yongping." ”

Xie Mulin and Xie Yinghui smiled and saluted.

After the resignation, the mother and daughter returned to the Chengbi Mountain House. At this time, Xie Xianzhi's brothers had already returned. Knowing that they were going to leave Zizhu Courtyard half a day earlier, the three brothers were a little stunned. Xie Xianzhi asked Xie Mulin in a daze: "Second sister, if I want to borrow the books in Youxian's mountain house in the future, can I do it?" I won't borrow it for too long, and when I copy it, I'll return it immediately! ”

Xie Mulin was dumbfounded, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Big brother, are you sure you want to ask me about this kind of thing now?" "She can't be the master now!

Xie Xianzhi came back to his senses and hurriedly apologized to his second sister: "I was confused." ”

This time, Xie Yingfen behaved very calmly. She knew in her heart why the eldest brother would ask such a question to the second sister, and she didn't feel strange at all, and she had the leisure to exchange a look with Xie Hanzhi.

However, Xie Hanzhi obviously also had a look of regret. He is also reluctant to give up on that collection.

Xie Jinzhi smiled slightly: "When I went over today, I knew that I didn't have enough time and couldn't read a few books, so I simply memorized two books, and I still remember it at this time." ”

Xie Xianzhi suddenly perked up: "Then what are we doing here?" Go find a pen and paper and write down the book! The three brothers were in a hurry, and they didn't go back to their room, but directly borrowed the four treasures of the study in Wen's room and started the great cause of silent writing.

Seeing this, the three Wen and Xie Mulin sisters all smiled helplessly.

When it was almost lunch, Xie Huizhi also came back. He went out with Xiao Xu today, and he had a lot of fun. Xiao Xu and him have similar interests, speak without restraint, and get along very happily. When he learned that his family had decided to leave home after lunch, he still had a little regret in his heart, and he pulled Xiao Xu in a loud voice, and he wanted to agree with the other party that he would come out often to meet when he had the opportunity in the future, and the two went to play in the city of Beiping together.

Xiao Xu agreed to Xie Huizhi's request, rolled his eyes, and went to find someone to inquire about the arrangements for the Xie family to leave, and learned that Princess Yan sent a guard from the Yan Palace, and without saying much, she said goodbye to the Xie family and claimed to have dinner.

But when the Xie family had eaten, packed their luggage, and went to the dock to board the boat to leave, they were surprised to find that the person escorting them back to the city had become Xiao Xu.

Xiao Xu stood on the bow deck with a smile and greeted his new good friend Xie Huizhi: "The original eldest brother still has something to do, this mission will be handed over to me, I just happened to go back to the city, and by the way, I will be your companion!" ”
