When Xie Daozhong arrived at the main room, Mrs. Qin had just sent Xie Wanlan and Xie Huai'an, and they met in front of the verandah.

He thought it was funny, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, revealing a slight smile: "Fang came out of the main room?"

Xie Wanlan lowered her head slightly, looked at the hem of his robe, and replied softly: "Yes, father, Huai'an and I listened to our mother's instructions and benefited a lot. ”

Xie Daozhong nodded: "Go to bed early." ”

Xie Wanlan glanced up at Xie Daozhong very quickly, as if she was a little surprised, and as if she wanted to say something, but when the words reached the bottom of her tongue, she swallowed it back, and only lowered her eyebrows and agreed: "Father, please rest early." ”

Xie Daozhong responded, walked in front of them, took two steps, and seemed to stop when he remembered something: "Huai'an didn't go to the clan study today?"

"Yes, father," Xie Huai'an replied, "Uncle asked me and my second brother about our knowledge today, and he sent someone to the clan school in the morning to ask Mr. for leave." ”

Xie Daozhong nodded, and then asked, "What homework did Mr. leave today?"

Xie Huai'an said: "I left an art study strategy, saying that it was a real question for the second session in previous years, which is quite difficult. ”

"Oh?" Xie Daozhong frowned: "What are you going to test in the second game?"

"It's the politics of various countries," Xie Huai'an pursed his lips, a little uneasy: "Sir's question is the pros and cons of changing the law in Japan. ”

Xie Daozhong glanced at Huai'an and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter, there are some difficulties?"

Xie Huaian lowered his head even harder: "My son is stupid." ”

Xie Daozhong suddenly lost the interest of asking further, the corners of his lips skimmed down, his eyelids drooped, covering the temperature in his eyes, and he let out a deep "um", and said perfunctorily: "Let's go and study again." ”

Xie Huai paused for a moment before replying, "Yes." ”

Xie Daozhong took another step forward, his right hand was loosely clenched into a fist, his thumb rubbed at the joint of his index finger, and a hesitant look appeared on his face: "You ......"

Xie Huaian hurriedly made a gesture of bowing his head to listen to the training, but Xie Daozhong was even more hesitant, and he didn't say anything for a while. Xie Huai'an felt strange, couldn't help but look up at Xie Daozhong, and urged, "Father?"

Xie Daozhong's eyes flashed, and he was a little panicked, Huai'an's heart jumped suddenly, thinking that he had seen it wrong, and hurriedly looked at it again.

Xie Daozhong let out a "hmm", his face was stern as usual, and he let out a long breath: "If you don't understand, go and ask your uncle, he works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he knows very well about the changes in the political system of various countries, and he may be able to point you out." ”

Huai'an nodded, seemingly a little excited, and his tone was full of admiration: "What my father said is very true, my son and second brother listened to my uncle talk about the past and the present today, and I felt that I benefited a lot. My uncle said that he had followed Prince Xixian and Prince Shuogong and Li Wenzhong to run foreign affairs and the Beiyang Navy, and we had never heard of anything I had seen.......

"Okay! Huai'an," Xie Daozhong frowned, already a little displeased: "Young man, don't be blinded by novelty and foreign things, it is the right thing to do your studies well, I will hand over the century-old foundation of the Xie family to you in the future, you are so frivolous, beware of ruining the family business passed down from your ancestors." ”

Huai'an has heard these words thousands of times since he was a child, but he was not impatient, he had no intention of arguing, he only put away his eyebrows and danced, and honestly bowed his head: "What my father taught me is that my son has lost his temper." ”

Xie Daozhong seemed to notice his careless perfunctory, and looked at him sternly: "Go back and read the family motto first before going to bed." ”
