Volume 1 Chapter 77
Xie Wenle seems to be a familiar character, maybe he thinks that Liu Ximing has the right eye, and pulls him back and asks what kind of night retreat from the enemy army, volunteer rescue teacher, etc., Liu Ximing rarely meets such a casual peer, and he is happy to talk to him.
As for the matter of bragging about oneself, hehe, everyone has made a start, and it wouldn't be in vain if you don't blow it.
Xie Yuan saw Xie Wenle and Liu Ximing talking on the side, he found the person who was the leader of the official mission and a few family members to whisper a few words, and these people who came with him quickly drove away the crowd of onlookers one by one.
After a while, several members of the Xie family didn't know where to carry two sedan chairs, and carried the two little girls away one after the other, and another group of family members set up Wang Lin and others who couldn't walk, and also walked towards the Xie family.
Xie Yuan walked up to Liu Ximing and Xie Wenle at this time, nodded slightly to Xie Wenle and said, "Young Master, everything has been dealt with here, and the master and Mrs. are still waiting at home." ”
Xie Wenle didn't know what he thought, his face fell suddenly, and when he saw Liu Ximing on the side, his eyes lit up, and he pulled Liu Ximing as he walked and said, "Brother Liu, and I'll come with me." Li Biao and the others also hurried to follow.
The Xie family's house is in the north of the city where the officials and gentry gather, and there are all high-walled courtyards here, and the group entered the house from the main gate of the Xie family, and Xie Wenle only took Liu Xi's life to the main hall of the second courtyard.
"Hahaha, Xi Ming, you are really my family's lucky star."
As soon as he entered the corridor, Liu Ximing saw Xie Chengzhou standing at the door of the main house wearing home clothes, and a hearty laugh came from his mouth.
Liu Ximing and Xie Wenle hurriedly walked a few steps, and when they got closer, the two saluted and said "Meet Xie Xiancheng" and "Meet Father" respectively.
Xie Chengzhou nodded to Xie Wenle with a straight face, and then smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Liu Ximing and walked into the house, while laughing: "No need to be polite, let's talk in the hall." ”
Entering the house, Xie Chengzhou motioned for Liu Ximing to sit down on the first seat on the left hand, Xie Wenle waited for his father to sit down, and sat down with him in the right seat, and his own maid stepped forward to serve tea.
At this time, Xie Chengzhou's eyebrows were full of smiles, more cordial than when he was at the door, and he said to Liu Ximing: "I just heard that the servants in the family came to report and said that the little girl was rescued by a young hero named Liu Ximing, I think this should be you, now that I see that this is the case, what is the specific matter?" ”
Liu Ximing sat upright and replied: "I don't dare to be called a young hero, my late life is just a matter of helping when the road is uneven, I don't want to save Ling's daughter, fortunately I don't live up to the grace of Eryin." ”
Then he told the details again about how he intercepted the traffickers.
Xie Chengzhou was full of emotion after hearing this, turned his head to Xie Wenle and said: "This incident shows that Xi Ming has the heart of a gentleman, you are similar to him in age, and you should be a good friend in the future, and you will always sharpen it." ”
Xie Wenle showed an expression of "someone else's child", and nodded with his head down, but this time he didn't have any objection to Liu Ximing, after all, someone saved his sister.
Xie Chengzhou nodded with satisfaction, and continued to say to Liu Ximing: "My family has three sons, but only this one daughter, so my mother and inside-in-law are spoiled, if it weren't for you today, I don't know how many people would be heartbroken." ”
Seeing that Liu Ximing wanted to be humble, he waved his hand and said: "Your father Liu Wenmao, I have also known each other, if you don't like it in the future, you can call me Shibo, my son Wenle is similar to you, and you two can also be called brothers." ”
Liu Ximing heard Xie Chengzhou say this, and suddenly his heart was overjoyed, the title of Shibo is generally called by the younger generations who have a friendship with the family, and now Xie Chengzhou is willing to let himself be called so, which already means that the relationship between the two families is extraordinary.
He hurriedly got up and saluted with a happy face: "Shibo has a life, how dare you disobey." ”
Xie Wenle also smiled, and Liu Ximing for a while, and found that he was more than a year older than Liu Ximing, and arched his hand: "Brother Xian, please give me more advice in the future." ”
Liu Ximing returned the salute with a smile, and the three of them chatted about today's matter again.
After a while, the old housekeeper Xie Yuan entered the house from the door of the main house and reported to Xie Cheng Zhouyu: "Master, everything has been dealt with properly, the county government officials and the servants at home have been rewarded with enough money, and they are also told not to make a noise, so as not to ruin the reputation of the young lady, but how to deal with the few thieves who have been captured, and ask the master to give instructions." ”
Xie Chengzhou picked up the teacup and gently flicked the tea lid, and said without raising his eyes: "They are all dogs who kill a thousand knives, and they are beaten to death with sticks." ”
Sleeping, Liu Ximing's heart was sudden, but his face was silent.
It's not that he is soft-hearted, the traffickers deserve to die wherever they go, but he didn't expect the current gentry to be so wanton, a few lives were not interrogated by the government, and they were killed if they were killed, and seeing that Xie Wenle was also not strange, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really the end of the dynasty.
Xie Chengzhou saw that Liu Ximing was still sitting upright after listening to what he said, and he didn't see any different colors, and he was very satisfied in his heart, this kid deserved to be the master who dared to sacrifice himself to save the master, not like an ordinary nerd who didn't say anything, and he didn't have the crampedness of a small family when he acted right.
Xie Yuan saw that Xie Chengzhou had no other instructions, so he gave a salute to the three of them and left the court.
At this time, a little maid wearing a light-colored embroidered collared skirt flashed out next to the screen behind Xie Chengzhou's main seat, and said to Xie Chengzhou: "Master, the young lady is awake, and the lady and the lady ask the master to come over and have a look." ”
Xie Chengzhou said "um" to show that he knew, and said to Liu Ximing: "Virtuous nephew, you are kind to the little girl, and go with me to have a look." ”
Liu Ximing followed Xie Chengzhou and Xie Wenle through a garden with rockeries, and came to a small building.
As soon as he entered the house, Liu Ximing suddenly felt a burst of fragrance coming to his face, it was the kind of smell he smelled when he met the traffickers before, could it be that this was Xie Chengzhou's daughter's boudoir?
At this moment, Liu Ximing is a little unable to let go, the Meng Dynasty is deeply influenced by Cheng Zhu Lixue, and the atmosphere has become more and more conservative, this woman's boudoir is not so easy to enter.
Xie Wenle next to him saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes turned to know why, and he whispered to him with a smile: "Don't worry about the virtuous brother, the sister has not yet reached the end of the year, and now there is not much evasion." ”
Liu Ximing let out a long breath, it's okay.
The three of them opened the curtain and walked into an inner room full of embroidered pendants, and Liu Ximing saw an elderly woman with sideburns like silver on the left side of the round table, dressed in a stone blue colorful carved silk satin skirt and a five-phoenix beaded hairpin, which should be Xie Chengzhou's mother.
A graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman on the right, dressed in a red butterfly dress and a red gold phoenix hairpin, should be Xie Chengzhou's wife.
The woman who was carried by the traffickers with Miss Xie was now standing on the side in a maid's costume.
The slender girl in the middle, wearing a pale pink rose dress, and her hair with a jasper and phoenix hairpin in her bun is Xie Chengzhou's daughter, but Liu Ximing couldn't see her appearance clearly when she was fighting on the street before.
Now when I look at it, I see that she has a beautiful appearance, her skin is like cream, her cheeks are slightly flushed, and her cherry mouth is red without dotting, which can be called a rare beauty.
However, this Miss Xie family is now frowning lightly, her eyes are full of mist, as if she will cry at any time, giving people a feeling of pity.
Xie Chengzhou saw Xie's mother, and hurriedly took Liu Ximing to greet the two, Xie's mother was about to say something, when she raised her eyes and saw Liu Ximing, a strange man, standing behind her son, and immediately turned her puzzled eyes to Xie Chengzhou.
"This person is Liu Xi's nephew who saved Chunxi, my two families can be commensurate with each other, last time my son also talked to his mother about his wise retreat from thieves and righteous rescue of the teacher, does my mother remember?" Xie Chengzhou pointed at Liu Ximing, introduced to Xie's mother with a smile, and introduced his wife Xie Mengshi to Liu Ximing.
It turned out that her name was Xie Chunxi, and Liu Ximing's heart moved slightly.
He immediately bowed to Xie Mu and Xie Mengshi again, and Xie Mu slowly stood up and pulled him to his side to take a closer look.
Seeing his dignified appearance and tall figure, he couldn't help but be full of joy, and turned back to everyone with a smile on his face and said: "Sure enough, it's a young talent, Xi'er, come and thank you for your brother Liu, if he hadn't rescued him today, I don't know how much you would have suffered." ”
Xie Chunxi walked over with slender steps, made a blessing salute, and said with a blushing face: "Little sister, thank you brother for saving her life, and you can't repay the grass ring." ”
Well, it's so fragrant, and a gust of fragrant wind is blowing in your face.
"Sister Xian is polite, Mencius has the righteousness to help, how dare people not follow the previous example. What's more, if Brother Ling hadn't arrived in time today, the foolish brother would have been out of reach. Liu Ximing turned sideways and replied.
"Oh? Why is that? Mother Xie and Mrs. Xie Chengzhou's faces froze, and they pulled him to ask about the details.
When he heard that these traffickers had colluded to deceive the onlookers, and even relied on the large number of people to almost abduct Xie Chunxi and the two of them, Xie Mu angrily picked up her cane and scolded non-stop: "It's really not a son of man, if Xi'er is abducted, how can I live." The world is declining, thinking about Emperor Shenzong, how can there be so many shameless people. ”
After saying this, Xie Mu and Mrs. Xie Chengzhou hugged Xie Chunxi and wiped away tears again, and they were terrified.
