A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the crackling of firecrackers sounded on the street in the middle of the month, indicating that the New Year Festival is coming.

The dance and drum lessons in the school did not slacken because of this, but became more intense and burdensome.

As the drums stopped, the girls in the middle of the field were panting and almost fell to the ground.

"No, no, no!" The gentleman clapped his hands and said unhappily, "It's all standing." ”

The girls were busy trying to stand firm, and Xie Rouhui also made her breathing calm.

"This dance is not long, you must know that waiting for the day of the sacrifice is much longer than this, will you collapse on the ground and gasp for breath after the dance?" The gentleman said with a frown.

At that time, there were countless people watching the ceremony, and the girls couldn't help but stand up straight again.

"Actually, dancing is not tiring." Mr. said.

The girls were in an uproar.

"Sir, how can you not be tired."

"We don't have a day off."

Listening to the girls' complaints, the gentleman smiled.

"I'm really not tired, don't think you're dancing, our Xie family is not dancing, it's witch." She said solemnly, "The real witch dance is not dancing by yourself, but by the gods, the unity of man and god, and there are no external objects, so there is no fatigue in the witch dance for three days and three nights." ”

The girls all laughed and looked at Xie Rouhui.

"We're not witches." They laughed.

Can a witch dance for so long without getting tired?

Isn't it a witch if you can't dance for so long?

Xie Rouhui's expression did not change, but the hand hanging by her side clenched it.

"No, no, I mean, everyone has to have a witch spirit." The gentleman said, "If you dance this dance with the spirit of witch, you won't get tired." ”

The girls all said yes, but how many actually listened to it is unknown.

"You still don't have enough time to practice dancing, so let's practice more when you go back." Mr. said.

With the departure of the husband, the girls are also ready to leave in twos and threes.

"Everybody practice well." Xie Yao said, with a bit of mystery, "This time, the March 3rd of our family will definitely be much more lively than before." ”

The phoenix bloodstone has been sent to the capital, and the Xie family will definitely receive a grand prize for offering such auspiciousness, and because of the phoenix bloodstone, the Xie family's position at the top of the Bashu list is more stable, and it is conceivable how lively March 3 will be next year.

When the time comes, coming to power as a shrine maiden will inevitably be in the spotlight.

The girls were excited.

"We'll definitely practice hard."

"Megumi dances better than us, and she practices so diligently."

Xie Rouhui smiled.

"It's all hard, for yourself and for the glory of your family." She said.

Everyone walked out with a smile and a smile, and Xie Rouqing began to clean with a wooden bucket rag.

"Third sister, don't do these jobs." Xie Yao said, "Your cousin can enter the Beijing Saint, and your cousin's status in the family is not ordinary." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the girls were suddenly even more unhappy.

Enter Beijing to face the saint Lord Xie will definitely go, no one dares to rob this and no one dares to think about it, but in addition to Master Xie can also have other escorts, the older men have to take care of the business at home and can't leave, but their children and grandchildren can go, everyone was gearing up to compete for the quota in Beijing, but it was robbed by Shao Mingqing, and the young people of the Xie family gritted their teeth with hatred for Shao Mingqing.

These girls naturally hear their brothers scolding Shao Mingqing every day, everyone has the same hatred, and they naturally hate Shao Mingqing's sister.

"That's it, what are you still wiping the ground, go to Yushan, the old lady is waiting for you."

"What kind of dance are you dancing, with the old lady and your good cousin, what do you want?"

Everyone said angrily.

Xie Rouqing just lowered her head and washed the rag and turned a deaf ear.

"Waiting for your cousin to come back from the capital to marry you."

"No, her cousin is obsessed with that person, how could he fall in love with her, so ugly."

When these two sentences came out, the girls present were a little shy and a little inexplicably excited.

The youngest of them is twelve years old, and the oldest is fourteen years old, they have all reached the age of Mu Shaoai, and they are ignorant about the affairs of men and women, which is the time when they will think about it but feel ashamed when they mention it.

Xie Rouqing grabbed the rag in his hand and smashed it.

"Shameless!" She said with a wooden face, "I know that I miss a man!" ”

These words made the girls' faces turn red, and they were ashamed and angry, and immediately a few of them were about to pounce.

"Xie Rouqing, who are you scolding shamelessly." They shouted.

"Those who scold are shameless." Xie Rouqing said without showing weakness, and threw it at them with a wooden barrel.

The girls screamed and dodged, and the school was in chaos.

After making trouble so many times, they didn't have much light in Xie Rouqing's hands, this guy has a lot of strength, and sometimes a few of them can't beat her.

"Xie Rouqing."

Xie Rouhui, who had been silent, spoke, looking at the wooden barrel that was rolling down as the water flowed to the ground.

"Come here." She said.

Xie Rouqing walked over with a wooden face and stood two steps away from Xie Rouhui.

"Come over a little more." Xie Rouhui said.

Xie Rouqing stepped forward again and stood in front of Xie Rouhui, and Xie Rouhui raised her hand and slapped her.

The crisp slap not only hit Xie Rouqing, but the other girls were also frightened.

This was Xie Rouhui's first beating since that time against Xie Roushu.

Funnily enough, last time because Xie Roushu laughed at Xie Rouqing and Shao Mingqing, she was beaten, but this time it was because Xie Rouqing didn't let them laugh at herself and Shao Mingqing for being beaten.

It's really feng shui in turns.

The girls were immediately happy.

"Xie Rouqing, it's not because you have great strength, others can't beat you, you can do whatever you want." Xie Rouhui said with a smile, and the backhand was another slap in the face.

Xie Rouqing bit her lower lip, and a red mark appeared on her face.

"Huihui, don't be like her, be careful that your hands hurt." Xie Yao said.

Xie Rouhui hummed.

"Remember, if it's not because you're strong, others can't beat you." She said with a smile, reached out and stroked Xie Rouqing's face, and turned to leave.

The girls snorted at Xie Rouqing and happily followed, eager to go back and share the good news with their brothers.

Xie Roujia stood in the school, raised her hand to wipe her face, and there was a little girl's timid probe outside the door.

"Miss." She cried out in a choked voice, tears welling up in her eyes.

Xie Roujia smiled, lowered her head and picked up the wooden bucket and put it aside, picked up the rag on the ground, and suddenly slammed it on the ground with a bang.

The little girl shuddered.

Miss is very angry, isn't she?

But before it was over, Xie Rouqing jumped down and picked up the rag and slammed it on the ground again.

All of a sudden, one by one, the little girl gradually lost her tears, and looked at Xie Rouqing as if she was crazy.

No, Miss doesn't seem to be crazy, look closely, Miss seems to be dancing every time she picks up the rag, her lower waist jumps and rotates, her speed is getting faster and faster, and the sound of the rag hitting the ground has become rhythmic, as if... It's like the drumming of the school next door.

When Xie Rouqing returned home, the night had already shrouded, and although her father and mother hardly saw her, she still walked to the courtyard of Second Mrs. Xie Shao's as usual and stood outside the courtyard to give a salute.

The servants outside the door were used to seeing it, but they didn't see it, they each held their hands and laughed, and suddenly saw someone coming in the distance, and they hurriedly stood up to greet the past.

"The second master is back."

Xie Rouqing lowered her head and retreated, Xie Wenchang frowned when he saw her, so he didn't look at her anymore and went straight in.

Xie Rouqing saluted his back, then turned around and walked towards his yard, just after a few steps, someone ran from behind, she subconsciously stopped, and before she could turn her head to look, the person bumped past her.

"Hey." The little girl shouted angrily.

Seeing that it was a small guy next to Second Master Xie, the current Xie Rouqing couldn't afford to mess with any young lady in the family, and as Xie Rouqing's only little girl, she couldn't afford to mess with anyone in the family.

The little girl swallowed her indignant words, but turned her head to see Xie Rouqing holding a letter in her hand.

"What is this?" She asked, surprised.

Under the dim lantern, a smile bloomed on Xie Rouqing's face.

"It's a letter from my cousin from the capital." She said.

…………………………………………………………

Xie Wenchang changed his clothes, took the tea and soup handed by the girl and took a sip, and sighed with satisfaction.

"How? Is the emperor happy? Shaw asked excitedly.

Since the news had arrived in the capital, letters had been sent back every day in the capital, by water and land, along with the huge network of their cinnabar business, and everyone was talking excitedly, imagining how the emperor would treat their Xie family's auspicious offerings.

Xie Wenchang reached out and took out a letter.

"Mingqing wrote a letter back." He said, "Just five days ago, the treasure was presented, and the emperor held a grand ceremony, and everyone in the capital went to see it. ”

The people of the capital, Shaw Brothers was thrilled to imagine this and that scene.

"The Emperor is pleased." Xie Wenchang looked at the letter in his hand and explained to the Shao family, "I personally summoned the eldest brother, and Mingqing also showed the emperor how to find and how to dig up the phoenix bloodstone." ”

Sure enough, I saw the emperor.

"Well, it's not a short time to see you, the emperor put down political affairs and told them a cup of tea." Xie Wenchang said, "Two more objects were given on the spot. ”

"Just two?" Shaw asked.

Their family's phoenix bloodstone is a priceless treasure, the emperor can't be so stingy, right?

Xie Wenchang laughed.

"That's not really a reward for our Xie family, it's just that the emperor and the eldest brother talked happily, and casually rewarded them with a few small objects that he often played with." He said, squinting at the letter, "The emperor gave the eldest brother an inkstone and Mingqing a town stone. ”

The object that the emperor often plays with, it is a treasure stained with the breath of a real dragon.

Shaw breathed a long sigh of relief, but when he thought that Shao Mingqing had also gotten it, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"It was supposed to be our Tai'er, but it was cheaper for this kid." She said indignantly.

"That's not bad, if it's our Tai'er, we won't be able to get Yushan." Xie Wenchang said with a smile.

Shao Mingqing went to Beijing, and before leaving, he naturally entrusted Yushan to his uncle Xie Wenchang to take care of, and now Yushan is not the Yushan of the past, although the phoenix bloodstone was dug up, but the cinnabar in that mine is enough to cover the harvest of several other large mines for half a year.

Moreover, the exploration found that the scope of this new mine is not small, enough for them to dig well for a year.

Xie Wenchang couldn't sleep at night when he was so happy.

"Mingqing, he just has the old lady as a backer, and when the old lady is gone, what is he, the sister-in-law wants to take Yushan from Shao Mingqing's hands effortlessly, but if it is taken away from us, it will have to be considered, so this qiē is not all our Tai'er." He said.

"It's best to tell Mingqing about family affairs, our family's must also be good friends with us and our eldest brother and sister-in-law." "That's how we can turn him into our true own." ”

Xie Wenchang won't worry about these children's affairs, nodded and let her watch it.

"I value Xie Yao." Shaw said, pouting again, "But Xie Yao's girl is a first-class celebrity in Huihui's previous class, and she is very high-minded, so she will definitely refuse." ”

While the husband and wife were talking, a servant woman outside the door said that she was in charge and asked to see her.

What's the matter at this late hour?

Xie Wenchang came to the study, and the waiting steward looked anxious.

"Second master, Yushan Mine said that there was no sand a year ago." He said.

Xie Wenchang didn't sit down and almost stood up again.

"What do you mean you can't get sand?" "Also, who gave them the right to speak?" he asked. ”

Isn't it up to him to decide whether to get out of the sand or not?

"They said that it was going to be the New Year, and they would close the mountain to rest, and then dig sand after the New Year." The steward said, "That's what the man named Angobi said. ”

Closing the mountain to rest? What the hell is that? Where did the miners come to rest for the New Year? And Ango? What's that?

"A miner, saying that the young master asked him to be in charge of the mine before leaving." The steward said.

Put a miner in charge of the mines?

Xie Wenchang was a little stunned, so what was he responsible for?

Yu Shan asked for money and things like a hungry wolf in this paragraph, and he also gave it happily, but they said they wouldn't do it? And his so-called responsibility, just responsible for running errands for them?

How can there be such a bully!
