Chapter 64: A Letter from the Capital

It's just summer, and although the weather is already hot, the cool breeze in the early morning is still pleasant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoMany people go out early to get things done, so they can relax at home when the sun is shining at noon.

So at the moment, there are already a lot of people walking around on the main road. Suddenly, a young man in a dark blue housekeeping suit quickly squeezed through the crowd, bumping into many people during the process, causing everyone to complain, and the bad temper had already scolded directly.

But the housekeeper didn't care, didn't look at these people, and ran directly into a gorgeous mansion with something in his hand.

When everyone looked at the plaque hanging on the gate, which was the same as the appearance of the mansion, and the two vigorous and powerful characters "Xie Zhai" were written on it, their hearts suddenly became clear.

So the deflated three who were still scolding just now became angry: "Oh, I thought whose family was so arrogant?" It turned out to be the Xie family! That's not surprising!"

After speaking, he spat hard at the door. The servant guarding the door suddenly turned green, but he couldn't do it, so he had to close the door in broad daylight.

But the chatter outside the door did not dissipate with the closing of the door, but became more lively. A few women shopping for groceries pointed at the door, and their mouths rambled.

"Oh, I said that Master Xie and Mrs. Xie usually look good, how can they raise such two daughters? One is a femme fatale, and the other is like he can't get married, and he has to rely on others for life and death!"

"Isn't it? The glory and façade accumulated by the ancestors have made them lose everything!"

"Eh, doesn't Miss Xie Er want to marry the Ma family? Needless to say, she's dead-skinned. ”

"You know what! Is it because she doesn't want to get married? If something like that happens, it's strange that the Ma family is willing to ask her!"

Even through the door, such remarks still reached Steward Zhao's ears without missing a word, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Alas, although the words outside are not good, there are a few sentences that really make them right! The glory of the Xie family for several generations can't hide the rumors!

No matter what, don't listen to gossip, it's more important to do your job well.

Thinking about it, he was going to go to Master Xie's study to report the income in the shop last month.

"You're here, read this letter." When Master Xie saw Steward Zhao, he seemed to have a smile on his face, and threw a fluttering piece of paper casually.

As a result, Steward Zhao didn't notice it for a while and didn't catch it, so he had to move his fat body and bend down to pick it up, blew the ash, and unfolded it to see, but it was a letter from the capital from the eldest young master Xie Yu.

"This?" He hesitated and glanced at Master Xie, feeling that he shouldn't look at it again.

However, I only waited for a nod of affirmation from the other party. Steward Zhao continued to look helplessly, looking at it, but a pair of mouse-like eyes widened.

"Master, is this the eldest young master asking you to move to the capital?" Steward Zhao waved the letter and asked.

"yes, what do you think? To go or not to go?"

This... Steward Zhao received the question thrown by Master Xie, but he was embarrassed.

To be honest, it is not once or twice that the eldest young master has sent a letter from the capital urging the family to relocate. Since he was the leader of the temple examination four years ago, the Holy Lord has given the mansion as usual, and since then, the eldest young master has hoped that his family can move in.

Although the eldest young master is the son of the master, for some reason, he has been living with the second master's family who is a big official in the capital, and he will only come back during the New Year's holidays.

Although the second master treats the eldest young master as if he has come out, the Xie Mansion has been separated after all, and there is always a lack of a sense of belonging. Therefore, the eldest young master still hopes to live with his family, so that his parents can enjoy the happiness, and his son also does his filial piety to make up for the shortcomings of not being by his parents' side for many years...

"Master, let's go this time." After thinking about it, Steward Zhao proposed sincerely.

As if he had guessed that he would say this, Master Xie stroked his beard again, and then asked, "The house can be locked up, but what about the shop and the property?"

"Master, with all due respect, it's always okay to think of a way to solve the problem of the shop and the field, but the matter of the two young ladies can't be delayed!" Steward Zhao was so excited that his spit splashed.

Master Xie was silent, he turned his back and looked at the Mo Meitu on the side wall that was slightly blown by the wind.

Xie Mansion is the foundation and birthplace of the Xie family, and it is also the place where he grew up. In this old house, there are all the memories of this ancient family, the glorious and the gray, all once displayed here one by one, like a glimpse of the light.

However, since the generation of his great-grandfather, there has been a faint trend of decay, not only has there never been a jinshi, but also in the gradual withering of the family business.

Finally, after his father's death, the huge Xie family could no longer support it and had to split up. Fortunately, the second brother is competitive, and he entered Beijing to take the scientific examination and was reused by the first emperor, which laid the foundation for his current status. So the remaining houses also ran to the capital to seek a way out and shelter.

Only he has been sticking to the old place, outsiders seem to be very advantageous, the old house and most of the land shops have been occupied, but how many people know the pain and hardship?

Don't want to move! Don't want to move! This is the answer in Master Xie's heart. But he also knew that what Steward Zhao said was right, giving up and staying in Shanyin did not mean losing everything, but if he didn't leave, the current remarks in the city would be too unfavorable for the two daughters.

Jia Lin has been coming out of the ancestral hall for more than half a month, but she locked herself in the room and couldn't get out of the room, not because she didn't want to come out, but because she didn't dare to come out, the remarks outside were too unfavorable for her!

And the second daughter Yilin did not get everyone's sympathy because of this matter. The things she designed to let Ma Wenbin know the truth were not known to outsiders, so what everyone talked about was how she used to find death and life for the Ma family's son.

One is vicious, the other is not reserved, it will be too difficult to find a good family in the future! And if you move to the capital, if you don't have someone to listen to it, who will know? San'in is not a big place, and it is not too close to the capital.

"Alright then, go and call the ladies and ladies here." Looking away from Mo Meitu, Master Xie finally made a decision.

Steward Zhao bowed down and immediately ran out.

And Master Xie sat on the Taishi's chair, his face was dark, and his eyes were a little red.
