Ning Xiu coughed and said, "Brother Xie...... How old is Friend Xie Ning, is Ning shouting Brother Xie is no problem, right? ”

Ning Xiu deliberately diverted the topic and arched his hand.

"Uh, Friend Ning is too polite. In that case, let's call ourselves brothers. Brother Ning Xian, Brother Fool sent someone from the house to send you a few boxes of books, all of which were annotated by Brother Fool himself back then. If you take a look, it should be good for preparing for the township exam. ”

Ning Xiu said in his heart that I came here for this matter, and I almost fainted after accompanying you in such a big circle.

"Brother Xie, you are too polite. I can't finish reading so many books at once. ”

Ning Xiu sighed abruptly and said, "But the junior brother still has to thank you." ”

As soon as he mentioned reading, Xie Yun immediately came to his senses, only to see him flick his sleeves and smile openly: "It's not in the way." Now it is three months away from the township test, and you will definitely not be able to watch it all, pick and choose what matters, how much can you see. ”

Ning Xiu secretly rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that this Xie Yun was worthy of being a scholar cultivated by the tactics of the sea of questions, and just looking at those boxes of books was terrifying enough.

"Brother Ning Xian, don't blame the foolish brother for talking too much, this township test is not trivial. Although Brother Ning Xian has great talents, after all, he has only emerged in small examinations such as the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination, so don't delay the preparation for the exam because of the distraction of the Weaving Bureau. ”

Ning Xiu's heart sank.

If Xie Yun didn't mention it, he almost forgot.

It was not unreasonable for Xie Yun to be able to catch the line of the high eunuch, and it was not unreasonable for Xie Yun to worry that he would suddenly become an imperial businessman and leave the matter of his career behind him in addition to his excitement.

"Taught."

Through getting along these days, Ning Xiu felt that he got along with this Xie Yun very well. In the end, it is the uncle picked out by the Zhang family, and the cultivation temperament is by no means boastful.

"From tomorrow onwards, Ning will be in retreat and study, and he will never be distracted before the township exam."

Xie Yun waved his hand again and again: "Hey, it's not like I'm a brother who asked you to retreat." Brother Ning Xian's move was not because of choking. ”

He paused and said, "If Brother Ning Xian doesn't give up, you can come to Brother Yu to read the book." It's better for two people to discuss together than to read a book with one person bored. ”

Ning Xiu secretly smiled bitterly.

I didn't expect this Xie Yun to be really an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person, this is to catch up with his own tutoring.

He couldn't help but think of the scene when Zhang Maoxiu gave him tutoring, it was a thrilling spirit.

"Ahem, Brother Xie's kindness Ning has a heart. However, Ning is not used to having others by his side when Wen Shu is around, and he asks Brother Xie not to blame. ”

"Oh, then the foolish brother is not reluctant."

Xie Yun was slightly disappointed, but nodded kindly.

Now that Ning Xiu had figured out the ins and outs of the matter, there was naturally no need to stay here and talk to Xie Yun, so he arched his hand and took the initiative to leave.

Leaving Zhang Jianingxiu, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Since the daughter of the Zhang family is already married to Xie Yun, shouldn't she live in Xie Mansion? Why does it look like Xie Yun lives in Zhang's house?

Although Xie Yun's father has passed away, Xie Yun will definitely inherit the mansion, and he will not be reduced to the point of living in the Zhang family.

Could it be ...... Could it be that this Xie Yun is a door-to-door son-in-law?

Hiss! Ning Xiuzhi gasped.

In the Ming Dynasty, the son-in-law who was inverted had no status at all, not only did he have to call the woman's parents father and mother, but the children born had to have the woman's surname.

This was regarded as a shame in later generations of open-minded people, let alone the Ming Dynasty, which valued patriarchal etiquette.

Listening to Xie Yun's meaning, his family and the Zhang family are still world friends, and Zhang Juzheng will not humiliate the Xie family so much, right?

What the hell is going on?

Ning Xiu was very curious, but it was not good to turn back and ask Xie Yun in person, so he went straight to the mansion where Sun Wufan temporarily lived in Jiangling, ready to ask what was going on.

It happened that Sun Wufan was about to leave the house to run errands, and was bumped into by Ning Xiu.

"Brother Sun, who is in a hurry, where is he going?"

"Hehe, haven't you heard of Brother Ning Xian, the little grandfather of the Duke of Wei is going to Wuchang Mansion to play, and he is going to pass by our Jingzhou. The mansion has to prepare for the reception, and the foolish brother has to do his best. ”

"Wait......"

Ning Xiu only felt a little confused, and said suspiciously: "The little grandfather of the Duke of Wei is going to Wuchang and passing through Jingzhou. But what does this have to do with us? ”

Sun Wu Fan Chongning squeezed his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter." Did Brother Ning Xian forget that his father was the governor of Huguang? ”

Oh!

Ning Xiu suddenly realized.

He actually forgot that Sun Wuhan's father was the biggest feudal official in the Huguang realm!

The little grandfather is going to Wuchang Mansion to play, and Governor Sun naturally can't stay out of the matter, and the security and hospitality work along the way must be done well.

Not to mention that the little grandfather has three long and two short, even if he is missing a hair, he can't explain it to Wei Guogong.

It stands to reason that there are many princes and marquis in the Ming Dynasty, and in this era of the rise of civil officials, the nobility and power are weak, and Governor Sun should not put his posture so low. However, the Wei Guogong lineage is an exception, this is the descendant of Xu Da, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, the king of Zhongshan County, who was trusted by successive kings and guarded Nanjing for generations.

The fact that Xun Gui can enjoy such a favor is enough to prove that the Xu family's status in the Ming Dynasty is noble, and Rao is a feudal official like Governor Sun, and he does not dare to offend a little.

Since Grandpa Xu is going to pass through Jingzhou, and Sun Wufan happens to be in Jingzhou, Governor Sun will inevitably have orders.

Ning Xiu guessed that maybe Governor Sun had sent someone to send a letter to his family, telling Sun Wufan to prepare well and wait for the little grandfather.

From the standpoint of the Sun family, this sudden incident is indeed the highest priority. Everything has to lean back against it.

No wonder Sun Wufan looked anxious!

"Brother Sun, don't worry, it will take a while for the little grandfather to arrive in Jingzhou, right? You and the Mansion have plenty of time to discuss the arrangement. ”

"That being said, if you don't arrange things in advance, I don't know the bottom of my heart. If things go wrong, my dad won't be able to explain them. ”

It can be seen that Sun Wufan is very afraid of this father who is a governor, this is probably a habit that has been cultivated over the years, and it will not be easily changed.

"Well, it's right to be prepared in advance. By the way, if I ask Brother Sun about something, don't say that I asked. ”

Ning Xiu suddenly changed his words and said in a low voice.

Sun Wufan waved his hand anxiously and said, "Brother Ning Xian, just say it." ”

"This Xie Yun is not a son-in-law who is inverted, right?"

“......”

Sun Wufan almost turned his back on him.

"Where did Brother Ning Xian hear the rumors?"

After a pause, Sun Wufan said: "The ancestor of the Xie family is also prominent for a while, if Xie Yun does something to insert the door upside down, won't he be humiliated?" ”

"Then why does he live in Zhang's house?"

Ning Xiu asked puzzled.

"Living in Zhang's house is a door-to-door son-in-law? That's because the little sister of the Zhang family misses her brother and relatives, and begged Xie Yun to go home and live for a while, and Xie Yun felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, so she agreed. ”
