Xie Xuan was a little apprehensive when he saw the reaction of his father and Han Jue, twisting the clothes and belts in his hands, and his eyes and tone were very innocent, "I was still there when I was fishing, but now it's gone." ”

This jade jue is a token of the two families, and it is the ancestral inheritance of the Han family, and it is very cherished. As soon as Xie Xuan heard it, he knew that Xie Xuan was lost when he fell into the water just now, and hurriedly asked someone to look for it in the lotus pond. The jade jue was found, but it had already broken into two halves, and most of it was still hanging on the red line.

Xie Zhen took the jade jue and looked at it for a moment, and asked: "It's not difficult to repair it if it is broken like this, but it's not as natural as it was, it's really unbearable." ”

"It's nothing, the important thing is Xuan Xuan, she's fine." Han Jue looked down at Xie Xuan, who was anxious, and a smile appeared on his lips, "If the jade is broken, it can be restored, and it can hide a story in it, our Han family's mind will not change, Uncle Xie doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Xie Jin was relieved at this time, and then remembered what Xie Yue had done just now, he must have taught a lesson in front of Han Jue, so he called Xie Yue at the moment, reprimanded him fiercely, and gave him a very heavy punishment-

punished Xie Yue for kneeling alone in the ancestral hall.

When Han Jue heard this punishment, it was not good to stay in someone's house for a long time, so he said goodbye and left in time. As soon as he left like this, Xie Zhen had to carry out the punishment to the end, otherwise it would be spread out, and he would not be said to be in front of him and behind his back?

Old lady Xie and Han Jue's grandfather were close friends, and besides, Mrs. Han had passed away, so Xie Zhen didn't dare to make the old lady angry.

Although Luo cried and begged for a long time, Xie Yue also cried and cried and refused to be punished, but in the end, he couldn't resist Xie Jin's insistent punishment, so he went to the ancestral hall and knelt all night that night.

Although Luo was going to kneel with his daughter to the death, the mother and daughter knelt alone in the gloomy ancestral hall, and the fear was something they had never tasted.

Xie Xuan was quite satisfied with this punishment.

However, before her goal was achieved, she still pretended to be sick, and even said a few nonsense when she woke up in the middle of the night, and the whole person looked confused, not at all like the two days ago. When Xie Zhen came to see her twice, she was demented and said some strange things.

Luo Shi saw this opportunity, saying that Xie Xuan's recent chatter was not quite right, and asked the female Taoist priest Qingxu Zhenren in the Xuanzhen Temple outside the city to come and take a look.

Qingxu Zhenren is quite famous in the capital, it is rumored that she has practiced Taoism since she was a child, and she has been in contact with the nobles of the family, and the Taoism is very beautiful. The most enviable thing is that today's emperor worships Taoism and respects the people of Taoism, but most of them are only close to Taoist priests.

Such a special feature makes Qingxu Zhenren far different from ordinary Taoist aunts, naturally a little more mysterious, and it is even rumored that she is a disciple of Taishang Laojun, with vast and omnipotent powers, mixed with all kinds of anecdotes, and it is divine.

Xie Xuan, an outsider, didn't dare to guarantee it, but Mrs. Xie was an extremely superstitious person, and she had always been attentive to the words of monks and Taoists, and almost no one refused to come. Seeing that Xie Xuan's recent appearance was indeed unusual, as soon as Mrs. Xie heard about this Jianyi, she agreed with her mouth that she would send someone to invite Qingxu Zhenren on May 23.

Xie Xuan was secretly happy for several days after learning the news, and on the morning of May 20, under the pretext of dreaming of his mother, he had to go to his uncle's house noisily.

Xie Xuan was so troubled by her that she couldn't help it, looking at the pitiful appearance of her little daughter, and thinking of his wife Tao, he felt a faint pain in his heart, so he agreed to Xie Xuan's request.

Originally, Xie Xuan needed to go out with the old lady, and she would arrange the manpower, but on this day, Xie Xuan was resting and had nothing to do at home, so he simply took Xie Jun, Xie Xuan, and Xie Tang over, but there was no need to go back. It's just that Xie Zhen didn't have the face to enter the door of Tao's house again, and sent his children to the door of Tao's house, so he asked the old mothers to accompany him carefully, and he walked down the street and came back to pick him up in the evening.

Xie Xuan laughed as soon as he was free here, and next to him, Xie Jun looked worried, and put his arm around his sister's shoulder, "Xuan Xuan, are you okay?" ”

"I'm so good!" Xie Xuan smiled, afraid that Xie Xuan would not be able to hide his words when he was young, so he suppressed it first. After playing with his aunt for a long time, Xie Xuan went to find his cousin, and Xie Xuan confessed to Xie Jun, "Sister, I'm pretending to be stupid these days, and even you have been deceived, right?" ”

"I'm afraid you'll fall into the water twice and get drowning." Xie Jun lowered his voice, "What are you planning?" ”

Really my sister is a clever person, much stronger than the stupid self back then. Xie Xuan leaned beside her, "Sister, Madame has never liked me, I listened to her discussing with the people below that day, and she wanted to drive me out of the house." ”

"You are a serious sixth girl in the house, how can she drive you?"

Xie Xuan pursed his lips, "The method was figured out by people." I listened to her plan, I wanted to invite the Qingxu real person to come forward, saying that I was a mother and a parent, and it was suitable to be raised in the Taoist temple for cultivation, and I was thrown to the Taoist temple first, and after a long time, my father didn't remember me, so I naturally became a person outside the house. There is no blood in the killing. ”

Although Xie Jun felt that Roche might indeed do this, but-

"Daddy loves us after all, how can he not remember you? She may not be able to hurt you by doing this, so don't be afraid. Xie Jun was just comforting and unguarded.

Xie Xuan sighed. She didn't think like this before, although Xie Jin was not good at observing details and didn't find the hatefulness of Luo's mother and daughter, she did care about her and Xie Jun. If there were no things in her previous life, she probably would have the same thoughts as Xie Jun.

She could only give up persuasion, "If my sister doesn't believe it, I'll know when I meet Qingxu Zhenren." ”

"The Void is coming here?" Xie Jun was surprised. The lord of Gaoyang was born noble, but he followed the atmosphere of the harem and believed in Buddhism, and never went to Taoism much.

Xie Xuan blinked, "It's my aunt who begged." ”

When it was noon, the pure void real person really came as promised. She is only thirty years old this year, after all, she is a pure-minded meditation person, she is plain and rarely eats meat, her face is tender and tender, and she is only in her early twenties. The tall figure is matched with a slender robe, and the dust is put between the arms, which is indeed free and easy.

When Xie Xuan looked at this familiar face, he had mixed feelings.

From the first time she entered the Taoist temple to the marriage of the Marquis of Jingning, she got along with Qingxu Zhenren for six years in her previous life, and her relationship was not close, but she also knew her nature.

She is definitely not a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world as in the legend, she is greedy for money, collects money, and will do whatever it takes to achieve this, and she is never satisfied.

The eldest princess of Gaoyang invited Qingxu Zhenren into the quiet room, talked for a while, and then walked away, Xie Xuan asked Xie Jun to listen outside, and then entered the quiet room by herself.

Qingxu Zhenren didn't recognize Xie Xuan, and recognized her as Tao Yuan under the knee of the Gaoyang County Lord, so he beckoned: "Second Miss Tao." ”

Xie Xuan sat opposite her with a smile, "I'm not the second girl Tao, my name is Xie Xuan, I guess the real person should have heard of it, right?" Without waiting for the other party to deny it, he continued: "Today, the county lord invited a real person over, which was actually my idea. ”

Qingxu Zhenren looked at the ten-year-old girl in front of him in surprise, full of suspicion.

Xie Xuan said to himself, "I guess a real person can guess why I did this, right?" She smiled slightly, her immature appearance was matched with an innocent smile, and she tilted her head innocently, "Let me guess how much benefit our lady in the house gave to the real person, two thousand taels?" Five thousand taels? Well, with our wife's handwriting, I'm afraid I won't be willing to give so much, it should be three thousand taels, right? ”

Qingxu Zhenren's face changed, and he was slightly annoyed, "What is Miss Xie talking about, I don't understand." ”

Also loaded with garlic! Xie Xuan sneered lightly in his heart, leaned forward, his scorching gaze fell on Qingxu Zhenren, and said bluntly: "Three thousand taels wants to abduct a princess to the Taoist temple, but she has a good calculation." In this way, I will pay twice, six thousand taels, how about asking a real person to do me a favor instead? ”

She went straight like this, and after the initial anger of Qingxu Zhenren passed, she was attracted by the silver, but she didn't pretend anymore, leaned back on the chair, and said slowly: "Miss Xie is really a wonderful person." The lady of the Zunfu promised three thousand taels of poor roads, and if it was successful, there would be another thanks, and it would add up to six thousand taels. ”

"So, how much do real people want?"

"Ten thousand taels." The innocent real lion opened his mouth widely.

Xie Xuan bargained, "Pay six thousand temporarily, if it happens, how about another four thousand?" ”

Qingxu Zhenren agreed happily, waved the dust, and said with a smile: "Miss Xie is a cheerful person, what do you want me to help?" ”

"The others have come according to Madame's arrangement, except to change their words when they talk about the reasons why I have not been going well lately. The real person may have heard of me, I have been married to Han Jue, the second son of the Marquis of Jingning, since I was a child, and the real person only needs to infer that it is Han Jue's fate to disturb his wife, because I am getting older, I will have many accidents when I am hindered by him, so I have to retire from the family affairs, and it is not good to discuss the relationship in a few years. In addition, if it is convenient for the real person to know the plans of our lady, he may be able to reveal a thing or two to my father. ”

"It's not difficult, it's just a sentence."

"I'm glad that a real person can think so. When the two families were married, they took a jade as a token, and I often carried it with me, and the jade fell into the water and broke two days ago, this ...... Pretty useful, right? ”

Qingxu Zhenren smiled slightly, thinking that this little girl was really interesting, so he nodded and said, "Very useful." It is a miracle that jade can be broken in water. ”

"Then it's decided."

Qingxu Zhenren nodded and spread his palms towards Xie Xuan.

Of course, Xie Xuan understood what this meant, gritted his teeth, took out the six thousand taels of silver tickets, and put them in her palm.

These six thousand taels are almost all the belongings in her hands.

At the beginning, the mother Tao left the dowry to the two daughters, except for a few shops, it was 30,000 taels of silver tickets, and the daughters were divided in half, 15,000 per person, and handed over to the two nurses to collect - although Tao was separated from each other, people were still in the Taoist temple, and there were uncles, but they were not worried that the nurses dared to embezzle them privately.

Xie Xuan also knew that there was a deposit of 15,000 taels when he got married in his previous life, this time in order to buy off the Qingxu real person, he tried his best to get the 6,000 taels of silver tickets from the nurse a while ago, as for how to give the remaining 4,000 taels, it has not yet been settled.

However, Xie Xuan was not too distressed to be able to do this, and sent away the innocent real person, and when he looked back, he saw Xie Jun standing behind the low-hanging soft tent of sprinkling flowers and embroidered brocade, staring at her in amazement.
