Xie Funing led the girls to serve the food - it was indeed a banquet for entertaining distinguished guests, but there were only two people eating at this table, which was a waste.

Xie Cheng opened his mouth and muttered, "I don't know if the wife and the young lady are okay?"

Xie Huaian nodded: "An." ”

He stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture to the table full of dishes: "Let's eat." ”

Xie Cheng didn't move, and said, "It's better to invite my wife and grandmother to come over for dinner." ”

Xie Huai'an had already picked up the spoon, and when he heard his words, he frowned very quickly, and said, "Mrs. is eating in the long room of the inner garden, and grandma is serving her, you don't have to worry about this, let's eat." ”

The same sentence was said twice, and it would be rude for Xie Cheng to insist any longer. Xie Funing quietly retreated after the banquet was served, leaving two girls to serve in the hall and add soup and vegetables. Xie Huai'an was calm, but Xie Cheng ate like a fish in his throat.

There were a lot of leftovers on the table, and Xie Cheng knew that these leftover dishes would be rewarded to the servants after the cook returned to the pot, but the housekeeper was entitled to eat a new meal with the master. The servants of the Xie family started their meal half an hour later than the masters, and after they finished eating, it happened to be Xie Funing's meal.

Xie Cheng came empty-handed, and the only gift he had on his body was an imported pocket watch that he brought to Xie Funing, and he didn't feel rude when he came, but now he felt hot on his face - he had obviously broken free from the lower class, but when he faced his old club, he still felt that he couldn't raise his head.

Xie Huai'an put down the chopsticks, instructed the girl to make tea after dinner, and said to Xie Cheng: "After drinking this cup of tea, you go to find the housekeeper, if he is willing to go with you, I will practice it for you tomorrow." ”

Xie Cheng didn't have to go to know that Xie Funing was definitely unwilling, he had already shown his attitude with his actions, Xie Cheng could even think that when he saw Xie Funing alone, he would inevitably be reprimanded and reprimanded as an ungrateful and unfamiliar wolf.

Xie Huai'an didn't mean to keep him, drank a cup of tea, and really began to send off guests: "Qingxing, go and take Mr. Xie to your Uncle Fu's yard." ”

Xie Cheng stood up awkwardly: "No need, I still remember the road." ”

Xie Huai'an raised the corners of his lips and smiled sarcastically: "Okay, then you go by yourself." ”

He withdrew from Santang and walked into the side courtyard. The news of Xie Cheng's return to the house has spread among the subordinates, and the little girls have come to see the excitement, greeting him with a grin, with envy and other inexplicable emotions in their eyes, and a girl who used to know him has the audacity to call him by name and joke with him: "Xie Cheng! Now that you have become a guest of our family, do we have to serve you?"

This is indeed a joke, but Xie Cheng sounds extremely harsh, he once showed unusual calmness and calmness in Xie Mansion, and now it disappears, and he doesn't know where to put his embarrassed hands and feet.

A lean middle-aged man came up with a slick smile on his face: "I heard that Mr. Xie followed people to make a revolution before, and now he is going to be an official in the yamen." Sir, did you get rid of the life of Emperor Lao Tzu?"

Xie Cheng waved his hand again and again: "It's not me, it's someone else who is more powerful." ”

"Mr. Xie is not a powerful person!" the crowd burst into laughter, and the man asked again, "Then you will not come back this time to change our master's life." ”

Xie Cheng was embarrassed: "No, no, the masters are also officials of the Republic of China, how can I fry each other." ”

"The master is an official of the Republic of China, and you are also an official of the Republic of China, so aren't you also the master?" he said, pretending to kowtow and bow, "Lu Gui greets the master." ”

The rest of the people made a fuss and laughed and bowed down: "Meet the master." ”

Xie Cheng was alone in the crowd, his face turned red, and he waved his hand in all directions: "What are you doing here? I am not a master, nor an official, you get up quickly." ”

Lu Gui knelt on the ground and looked up at him with a smile: "You are not an official, then you are a citizen?"

"We are all people. Xie Cheng grabbed his arm and dragged him up anxiously, "Don't kneel me, get up." ”

Lu Gui deliberately asked him: "Since we are all people, can we also go to the place where you are on an errand?"

Xie Cheng was embarrassed again: "We...... We are all people, but each of us has a different division of labor, you serve the master and the family, and I serve all the citizens of the Republic of China...... That is, you. ”

"Yo yo, everyone heard it," Lu Gui shouted loudly, "Mr. Xie is serving us!"

The people laughed again, and the girls teased him loudly: "Since you are serving us, then Mr. Xie will come and pinch my shoulders, after washing clothes for a day, my shoulders are sore and uncomfortable." ”

Before Xie Cheng could answer, Xie Funing appeared behind the crowd, and he scolded loudly: "What are you doing!

Xie Funing, as the head of the Xie family, has his own majesty, as soon as he came out, the frolicking person was honest, and that Lu Gui came to him in a few steps, bent over and hunched over: "Congratulations to Butler Fu Butler Congratulations to Butler Fufu, Mr. Xie is returning to his hometown, it seems that he wants to take you to the capital to enjoy happiness." ”

"It's my blessing to be able to work in the old house, except for the old house, no matter where I go, I will suffer. Xie Funing smiled, "Eat your meal." ”

The crowd laughed and went back to the lower hall to eat, Xie Cheng shouted "Dad", but Xie Funing didn't look at him and turned to leave.

Xie Cheng caught up: "Dad...... My son has a gift for you. ”

As he spoke, he anxiously took out the pocket watch wrapped in red flannel and handed it to Xie Funing with both hands.

Xie Funing took it, opened the red flannel, and looked at the moonlight carefully: "This is for me?"

His tone was not grim or indifferent, which made Xie Cheng happy in his heart, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it's for you to be old."

Xie Funing then asked, "What about the old man and young master?" ”

Xie Cheng started and said abruptly: "I...... I came in a hurry, I didn't ...... Didn't have time to give ...... The old man and the young master prepare gifts. ”

Xie Funing squinted at him: "No time or no thoughts?" he said, stuffing the pocket watch into his hand again, "I don't want it, I can't stand it." ”

Xie Cheng said anxiously: "Dad, I'll just come back and make up for the old master and young master." ”

"Etiquette can be made up, but what is missing is lacking," Xie Funing snorted and continued to stride forward, "You come this time, if you tell Lu Gui that you plan to take me to the capital, then you can leave by yourself, I won't go anywhere except the old mansion; ”

Xie Cheng pinched the pocket watch and looked at his father blankly: "Dad, don't you recognize me?"

"How dare I deny you?" Xie Funing said, "You are an official master, I Xie Funing can have a son of an official master, that is a few lifetimes of accumulated virtue, how dare I disown you." It's just that the origin of your official, we both know it, if you take the silver from the old mansion to buy an official, I have to return the money for you, otherwise we will both be retributed. ”

Xie Cheng was embarrassed and immediately argued: "I didn't use the money from the old mansion to buy an official!"

Xie Funing paused, and his face showed anger: "You didn't take the silver from the old mansion to buy an official, so what did you do with the seven thousand taels of silver you took without complaining?"

Xie Cheng's face was hot, and he said, "I...... I took it to invest in the revolution......"

"What an investment," Xie Funing sneered, "Who took the return on investment?"

If you want to say that the Xie family took it, it is obviously not like that, with the influence of the Xie family in Zhenjiang, even if he does not vote for the revolution from beginning to end, he will not be embarrassed to liquidate after the change of dynasty, and he can still be the emperor of Zhenjiang. But if Xie Cheng took it, it would be to admit that his official was bought with seven thousand taels of silver, which is something that Xie Cheng is unwilling to admit and is not convinced.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xie Funing continued to ask: "Let me ask you again, in addition to the seven thousand taels of silver, what other great things have you done, so that the revolutionary party must pay attention to you, and reward you for your meritorious deeds and reward you as an official after the world has more?"

Xie Cheng couldn't answer, compared to the funds raised by Sun Yat-sen before and after, seven thousand taels of silver was really nothing, just enough to buy a petty official of the Ministry of Education.

Xie Funing snorted: "Return to the Ministry of Education, are you worthy of this position? Do you have academic qualifications? Are you Hongru? What qualifications do you have to manage the education of the whole country? Who are the people who work with you? Are you a talented person who has returned from studying abroad or a bachelor from Beijing Normal University? Aren't you ashamed of those people? Isn't it that I look down on you, and your knowledge can be compared to Miss Xiansan, who is still in high school?"

Xie Cheng lowered his head sneeringly: "My son is ...... now He is currently studying international politics at Tsinghua Park. ”

"Okay, my son is out of breath, and he can even enter Tsinghua Garden. Two days ago, the master invited Mr. Xu to come over to discuss the future of Miss Xiansan, and the family was worried that she would not be admitted to the university, but I didn't expect my son, who had never been to school that day, to easily enter Tsinghua Park to study. Xie Funing shouted angrily, "Isn't this the seven thousand taels of silver bought! You are still receiving the favor of the old mansion, and you still don't realize it, and you still have a face to submit a post, and visit the old mansion as a guest! You don't want this face, I still want it! God punished me and gave birth to my son, and the son and the father repaid it, and you yourself said, if you don't pay off the seven thousand taels of silver, how dare I leave!"

Xie Cheng was shocked: "Dad has no extra income, how can he pay back the seven thousand taels? If you really don't want to go, your son will come to pay it back, and your son can pay it back by smashing the pot and selling iron!"

"I have a salary of fifty taels of silver a year, and after throwing away the five taels of my own daily expenses, there are still forty-five taels left," Xie Funing said, "Your debt of seven thousand taels, I can pay back one hundred and fifty-five years." ”

He was sarcastic, and he also gave up his hand to Xie Cheng: "I thank you, but now I don't even dare to get sick, I'm afraid that I will go early and go to hell with debts!"

Xie Cheng was more uncomfortable than being slapped with one hundred and fifty-five big mouths, he knelt down with tears, kowtowed to Xie Funing, and cried: "Dad, my son is not filial." ”
