Xie Mulin hurriedly sent someone into the house to question, but found that it was Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao was originally a rough little girl in Jin Xuan Hall, and she was very familiar with the situation there, but now she is angry with Xie Yingrong and is unwilling to enter this courtyard. However, in the past few days, Mrs. Jiang has been busy packing up her things, and there is a shortage of people under her, so she still coaxes Xiao Tao, who has been used to it for a long time, to go back. It was also for this reason that the Bian family came to see Xie Yingrong, and when Aunt Dajin intended to stop her, she didn't pay attention for a while, and Xie Yingrong ran out of the yard, and Xiao Tao was called to see it. She also caught up and watched the conversation between Xie Yingrong and the Bian family.

The Bian family came from the long-awaited Miss Bian of Xie Yingrong, but Mrs. Bian also came with her daughter. Knowing that there was only one Xie Yingrong left in the master's house, Mrs. Bian was still uncomfortable, knowing that her family did not greet her in advance, and went directly to the door with the name post, which was very impolite, and it was no wonder that the Xie family would be in the air. She had the intention to leave, but she thought that Xie Yingrong would leave Beijing in a few days, and let her daughter meet her friends today, and when the Xie family set off, she didn't have to go to the dock to see her off, so she held it back, only pulled her daughter, and chatted casually with Aunt Dajin, who chased her out, and asked about the day of departure, Xie Yingrong's illness or something.

She rejected Xie Yingrong's request to talk alone with Miss Bian, saying that it was impolite.

Xie Yingrong was the only serious master left in the Xie family's mansion, she pulled Miss Bian away, and asked Mrs. Bian to sit alone in the living room in a daze, which was really not appropriate. Even if Aunt Dajin is allowed to accompany the guests, in the eyes of a family like the Bian family, who thinks that rules and etiquette are important, it is very rude to ask the wife of the main room to talk to the cheap concubines of other families on an equal footing. Mrs. Bian didn't directly express her concerns, only persuaded tactfully, and joked with Xie Yingrong: "Between you little sisters, what else is there that I can't hear?" ”

Although Miss Bian also wanted to follow Xie Yingrong to the room to talk, before coming to Xie's house, her mother specially instructed her not to get too close to her friends, lest she get sick, and then she would have to drink bitter medicine. Miss Bian has always been a simple-minded little girl, she kept this in mind, and when she saw that her mother did not agree, she pulled Xie Yingrong to sit in the corner of the living room, and said innocently: "Let's talk in a whisper, mother, you are not allowed to eavesdrop!" ”

The corner was less than two feet away from Mrs. Bian, who knew how loudly her daughter was talking, but she didn't know it, and admired the decorations on the Duobaoge—in fact, because the master was not there, all the delicate and valuable decorations were put away, and there were a few bargains left, which were just for show. Aunt Dajin knew this, and she didn't talk to the guests, so she ordered her subordinates to bring tea and snacks, so she approached her daughter's direction and wanted to eavesdrop.

She could only overhear what Miss Bian said, and she didn't know anything about what Xie Yingrong said. In fact, Xiao Tao hid outside the door and also heard Miss Bian's words.

Xie Yingrong didn't seem to be satisfied with meeting her friends for the last time before leaving today, and suggested that the two get together again at the time and place mentioned on the note in the jewelry box before. She strongly suggested that Miss Bian persuade Mrs. Bian to stay in the area of Bao'en Temple for a few days recently, burn incense in the temple, worship the Buddha, and say that it would be beneficial to stay for a few more days.

At that time, Miss Bian asked in surprise: "Really?!" The Queen Mother and the eldest princess will really go?! Where did you hear that?! ”

What Xie Yingrong answered, no one could hear clearly, but Miss Bian's next sentence was: "You are right, your sister knows the young lady of the eldest princess's family, and this kind of thing must not be hidden from her." Then she jumped for joy, "If there is such a good opportunity, of course I will persuade my grandmother to go!" It's best to go with my mom and dad. If we can recognize a few dignitaries and appreciate my father, then our family will not have to worry! My dad doesn't have to be disappointed and sad every time he doesn't succeed. ”

Xie Yingrong persuaded her a few more words, and Miss Bian nodded again: "That's a good point, I heard that the Bodhisattva of Bao'en Temple is very spiritual, and many people in Beijing will go to pray for blessings." My cousin is so sick that he should go and offer incense and pray for a blessing, hoping that the Bodhisattva will make sure that he will get better soon. He was too sick to go, and it was the same for our family to go for him. ”

The two little girls seemed to have agreed on the time and place of reunion, and then Xie Yingrong no longer kept Miss Bian. Mrs. Bian didn't know if she was a little unhappy, anyway, she didn't mention much else except for saying a few farewell words such as "take care of your body" and "looking forward to meeting again", and she didn't even ask what her daughter and Xie Yingrong talked about, and left with her reluctant daughter.

Xiao Tao reported to Xie Mulin: "Mrs. Bian and Miss Bian left, I went all the way to the gate, and I heard Mrs. Bian reprimanding Miss Bian from a distance, telling her not to mess around. What should I do if I get a kidnapper? Even if you really want to pray for the sick person, it is the business of the adults in the family. Miss Bian was very unhappy, and said that she had made an appointment with our three girls, if she didn't go to the appointment, wouldn't she break her promise? Fang Cai didn't say a formal goodbye, and it didn't work out. But Mrs. Bian ignored her, dragged her into the carriage and left. ”

After hearing this, Xie Mulin fell into deep thought.

Xiang Tao stood beside her, hesitantly interjecting: "Second girl, actually...... When the Bian family sent someone to see the three girls that day, I noticed it...... Miss Bian's girl seemed to believe the words of the third girl's illness, but the mother ...... I could have seen that the third girl was just lying in bed and was not sick. But she didn't say anything, and dragged the girl away. She is Mrs. Bian's confidant, will she ...... Mrs. Bian is not very happy about her daughter associating with the third girl now? ”

This is quite normal. Xie Yinghui didn't say bad things about Xie Yingrong in front of the Bian family. Mrs. Bian and Miss Bian have received the favor of Xie Yingrong, and the other has become close friends with her, so it is not surprising that they will be confused. But Mrs. Bian is not a party to the case, she doesn't have such a sense of sincerity, and after Xie Yingrong lived in Bian's house for a few months, how could the housewife notice that this girl's true face did not match the superficial personality. Especially Xie Yingrong deliberately made herself sick, but let Miss Bian take the blame, can she bear it as a mother? It's human nature that she's wary.

Anyway, Xie Yingrong is about to leave, and I don't know how many years before we meet again. Sooner or later, my daughter will lose this friend, so why should she have any twists and turns because of her? Mrs. Bian knows about the consecration ceremony, and she may have the idea of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law going to Bao'en Temple for a walk, but bring Miss Bian this little fool? Tell her to be fooled by Xie Yingrong again? Forget it!

Xie Mulin figured it out, and ordered Xiangtao to give Xiao Tao a second-class reward, said "hard work", and let the sisters go down to eat.

She sat alone in the room, recalling Xie Yingrong's unreasonable words and deeds, and had a guess in her heart.

Xie Yingrong is a reborn person and knows a lot of major events that have happened in her previous life, so Xie Mulin, Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yingrong just heard the news of the festival, and they didn't mention it to the mansion, she already knew that the Queen Mother would come.

Presumably, the Queen Mother also had the same dream in her previous life, and also ordered the Bao'en Temple to hold a similar consecration ceremony, and personally appeared at the festival to pray for the deceased daughter.

Maybe the Queen Mother will be in the mood to take a stroll in the Bao'en Temple and talk to the officials or pilgrims she meets by chance. If any of them could get her blue eyes, the Queen Mother would definitely not mind giving people a little benefit.

This benefit must be not small. Xie Yingrong had heard the rumors in most of his previous life, and he wanted to get some light in this life. She wants to marry Cheng Du, not only to get the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion, but also to bypass the consent of her father Xie Pu, what is more impossible for the two elders to resist than the noble queen mother being the matchmaker herself?
