Chapter 35: Offering Treasures
Chapter 35 Offering Treasures
In the past few days, Xie Ke has been learning the rules with Mama Mei, and at the same time, he has been racking his brains to think about how to make Fourth Master Xie go by land and water.
After thinking about it, she finally came up with a way.
When I returned to Lancuixuan, I saw Cheng and the fourth grandmother Chu, and naturally there was a lot of enthusiasm. Chu took Xie Ke in his arms, no matter how reluctant to let go, although he was separated from Xie Ke for only a few days, but thinking that since the birth of his daughter, he has never left her, and it is a blessing to be favored by the old lady, but the fourth grandmother can't suppress the longing in her heart, a few days ago, the old lady asked Ziyun to send a message, saying that Sister Bao was taught by Mama Mei in Yiheyuan.
This news made the fourth grandmother both comforted and worried.
Mama Mei is the old man of the Xie family, and she is quite relied on by Mrs. Xie, and the girls she taught are all praised by her husband's family after marrying into her husband's family.
But Mama Mei is also famous for her strictness......
Sister Bao is only five years old, how can she survive. If it weren't for Cheng's relief on the side, the fourth grandmother would have washed her face with tears, and finally looked forward to her daughter, and it was a concubine, the fourth grandmother looked at Xie Ke's little face not only not thin, but also red, not only in a way of advancing and retreating, but also not far-fetched at all, thinking about it, Sister Bao has had a good time in the Jardine in the past few days, and the heart of the fourth grandmother Chu who has been hanging for a long time finally slowly calmed down.
"Tell my mother what rules you have learned. Can Mama Mei be strict? Have you ever said hello to your grandmother every day? How did your grandmother respond on a daily basis...... I have to tell my mother. ”
Xie Ke nodded, smiling in Chu's arms.
told Chu and the nurse Cheng bit by bit about their life in the Jardine House in the past few days, and the two sometimes nodded and sometimes frowned. When they heard that Mrs. Xie had arranged a back cover room for Xie Ke to live in when they first arrived at the Jardine Hospital, and when they considered whether Xie Ke could dress and wash himself the next morning, their faces couldn't help but tighten together. Cheng couldn't help but ask......
"Sister really wore her own dress and combed her sideburns?"
Xie Ke nodded.
"When did my sister learn this skill, it really scared the slave." Cheng couldn't help but patted Xiong's mouth and said...... Xie Ke has been raised by her since she was a child, does she remember that she taught Xie Ke how to dress?
"I learned to watch the nurse do that every day...... Mother, it's actually not difficult. Chu Shi smiled and nodded, not at all thinking that it was a great thing for her daughter to suddenly learn to dress, if Sister Yu in the second room could do it, how could her sister Bao be bad?
Xie Ke drank two cups of tea and finally finished talking about the bits and pieces of the past few days......
The fourth grandmother let Xie Ke go back to the yard to pack up, and the next day was about to leave, the time was quite tight, fortunately, Cheng's got it done early in the morning, Xie Ke wanted to pack up just some small things he liked, it took a long time to return to Chu's, and Xie Ke could naturally take it with him if he liked.
Back in the courtyard, regardless of Cheng's repeated question, she asked what she wanted to bring with her. Xie Ke called the big girl Qiu Xuan and asked her to send me out of the house to buy some things for her immediately. Looking at the sky, Qiu Xuan was a little embarrassed, but in Xie Ke's calm gaze, she finally nodded.
Cheng was puzzled, I don't know what is so important that it is worth sending someone to buy it overnight? Cheng opened his mouth to ask, Xie Ke only said that it was a small thing to relieve boredom on the road, and Cheng ignored it, called Cong Rui and Yuhui in, and packed the box with Xie Ke.
After dinner, Qiu Xuan angrily hugged a small burden back and forth to Xie Ke, Xie Ke took it, and ordered the errand boy to be rewarded with a few dollars of broken silver. Qiu Xuan responded and went to get the reward.
Cheng couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he saw Xie Ke holding the baby in his arms, feeling that the girl was older and had a mind after all. She knew that Xie Ke liked to be alone after dinner recently, so she picked up the curtain and went to find the little girl to laugh......
There was no one else in the house, so Xie Ke slowly opened the small baggage.
Layer by layer, what was finally revealed was a 'Kyushu Chronicle'......
Looking at the book, Xie Ke finally picked his lips and chuckled, then stuffed the book into his arms, jumped up and picked up the curtain and went out...... Cheng Shi and Cong Rui looked for a conversation, and saw Xie Ke go out, so she had to follow in a hurry, and when she found out that the place where Xie Ke went was Xie Siye's study, her heart couldn't help but ease slightly, Cheng thought that Xu hadn't seen her father for a few days, so it was not too early, and the little girl couldn't help but come to the study. Cheng didn't realize that if Xie Ke really just wanted to see Xie Nian, why didn't he come to the study to look for Xie Nian when he came back from Yiheyuan, but when it was time to go to bed.
Cheng Shancai opened the door for Xie Ke, and Xie Ke looked at Xie Ke outside the door with a look of surprise on his face. Behind Xie Ke is his mother-in-law......
Cheng Shancai looked at Cheng, Cheng's face was puzzled, Cheng Shancai frowned slightly, lowered his head and asked. "Why did Sister Bao come to the study at this time?" Xie Ke held his little head high, with an eager expression. "Uncle Shancai, is my father here? I have something good to show my father......" Cheng Shancai's face was obviously a little hesitant, but Xie Nian's voice came from inside.
"Sister Bao is here, come soon. Daddy misses you tightly. Cheng Shancai turned sideways, and Xie Ke slipped into the study like a smoke.
Xie Nian didn't seem to expect Xie Ke to move so quickly, and the letterhead that was busy folding in his hand couldn't help but froze, and then quickly stuffed the letter into a Nanmu box...... Seeing this, Xie Ke's heart condensed slightly. I don't understand what Xie Nian has, even she avoids. But this is clearly not the time to ask for it.
Xie Ke took out the 'Kyushu Chronicles' from his arms and ran to Xie Nian with a look of dedication...... "Daddy, look at what treasure I found, the things here are interesting, and there are pictures...... There are several versions of Kyushu Chronicles, Xie Ke asked Qiu Xuan to find this is the treasure of a pawnshop, don't look at the thin one, but the gold and silver ingots that Xie Ke has accumulated for a long time are used cleanly.
This book was compiled by a scholar who was good at writing and proficient in geography.
At that time, it was not valued by those in power, so it was not printed, and only a few people who liked it copied a few copies. Nowadays, the saint highly respects the art of geography, so that the book is as high as the tide, and those copies of the booklet are all worth a lot of money...... And this book in Xie Ke's hand is genuine.
If ten years later, not to mention the gold coins that Xie Ke has accumulated for several years, if Xie Nian wants to buy it, the price will probably make Xie Nian grit his teeth.
Fortunately, this book can only be regarded as rare now, and it is not rare......
