In terms of psychological age, Shen Xi, who is almost forty years old in the two lives combined, is more than twenty years younger than Xie Duo, plus in his previous life, he was used to seeing the world through various media and the Internet, Xie Duo's attitude of living in a temple and living peacefully, Shen Xi can understand.

If he is not reincarnated, Shen Xi really doesn't have to fight for anything, in fact, in the final analysis, isn't life in the world just to live? It's just a good life and a bad life!

At least Shen Xi has no plans to live in seclusion in the mountains at present, because he has not yet made a name for himself in the officialdom and cannot protect himself and his family!

"Thank you, the students are here for another purpose...... I want to ask you for a word, I don't know if Master Xie can give up Mobao? Shen Xi said his purpose.

Xie Duo squinted at Shen Xi and asked, "You ask me for words?" ”

"yes."

Shen Xi nodded, trying not to be noticed by Xie Duo about the abnormality in his expression.

Xie Duo is old and refined, how can he not see Shen Xi's purpose? Shen Xi didn't mention the matter of "moistening the pen" first, that is, he asked Xie Duo to write first, and then give the silver later, so it seems that Xie Duo is wrong not to accept the "moistening pen".

Xie Duo smiled and waved his hand: "I have already made up my mind that I will no longer leave words for people in my life, but it is you...... It's okay to be accommodating, but if you say it in advance, you can't use my words to do evil, let alone make a profit. I only want peace of mind in doing things, and if you disobey it, then you will deserve it! ”

Shen Xi knew that Xie Duo had seen his true purpose after all, so he reminded him in disguise, I am living a pretty good life now, and I don't need your charity, not to mention that I am far from being poor, even if it is, I am in poverty and at ease.

In this way, Shen Xi's previous plan to send silver to Xie Duo could only be stuffed in his heart...... But this character, Shen Xi really wants to ask for it back, as a commemoration of the intersection with Xie Duo!

Shen Xi found a pen and paper and personally studied ink for Xie Duo, and Xie Duo decided what words to inscribe.

Xie Duo picked up the pen and didn't think about it, so he wrote down his hopes for Shen Xi: "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world." "The penmanship is strong and powerful, the words are like their people, and there is a rebellious literati style between the strokes.

Shen Xi read Xie Duo's inscription and saluted respectfully: "Students remember." ”

Xie Duo nodded again and again, looking very satisfied, he and Shen Xi had only met twice, but there was a kind of Bole's joy to see Maxima, plus Shen Xi was young and had three yuan and the first Wenkui in the world, he had a little more high hopes for this little friend, hoping that Shen Xi could be a good official for the country and the people.

As a teacher and educator, Xie Duo knew that he had no intention of officialdom, but he hoped that his disciples and juniors could complete his unfinished business.

Shen Xi didn't mention "polishing the pen" to Xie Duo again, but he still sent the gift he had prepared a long time ago, but it was a book he specially brought back from the capital.

Xie Duo was very satisfied with this gift, he had read the books that Shen Xi gave him, although most of them were available at home, but in the end, it was Shen Xi's intention, and when he saw Shen Xi's compilation of "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", his face showed surprise, and after reading a few articles, the surprise turned into a surprise.

"What kind of book is this, and why haven't I seen it before?" Xie Duo looked at Shen Xi with a look of disbelief.

"Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" belongs to a short story in the style of notes, and its storytelling and literary attainments are very high, and it belongs to Ji Yun's masterpiece in his later years, and Xie Duo liked it at a glance.

Shen Xi looked ashamed: "It was written by the students during their study in Taixue, and then they were written one after another, and they were collected into a text, which made Master Xie smile." ”

Xie Duo's face was full of shock: "Shen Xi, Shen Xi, if I hadn't seen you when you were still a child, I really didn't believe that there was such a genius as you in this world, but unfortunately I didn't take you under my name at that time, but it's okay, you have a famous teacher to teach you to have today's achievements, and the old decay didn't delay your ......"

Suddenly, Xie Duo's face showed a bit of vicissitudes, and he sighed lightly, as if he was suddenly ten years old.

Shen Xi said: "Teacher Xie is too modest, and the students actually feel sorry for not being able to worship your old name......

Xie Duo smiled and waved his hand, obviously he felt that he was not worthy of being Shen Xi's gentleman.

For an old scholar who has been committed to teaching and educating people for decades, it is actually normal to have this kind of thought, and having such a good student as Shen Xi is the ambition of all gentlemen in the world, but he knows that he is not capable of cultivating such an all-rounder, so he feels regretful and ashamed.

Xie Duo didn't ask Shen Xi's mentor who he was, he knew that he was inferior to others, so it was a bit humiliating to ask like this.

Shen Xi didn't expect that because he sent "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" to Xie Duo, it would make Xie Duo feel embarrassed, if he knew that this was the case, he would rather say that this was a work of his predecessors, but he found it by chance.

While talking, Ning Er came in with tea, put down the tea bowls for Shen Xi and Xie Duo respectively, and said respectfully: "Old gentleman, master, please drink tea." ”

In front of Xie Duo, Ning Er looked like a young lady, her gestures were polite, and her eyes when she looked at Xie Duo were full of admiration and admiration.

Shen Xi frowned, Ning Er wouldn't like one when she saw one, and wanted to hook up with one if she liked one, right?

Eldest sister, if you want to hook up with you, you will also find a young one, and flatter in front of Mr. Xie, are you blaspheming his old man?

"It's none of your business here, let's go down." Shen Xi saw that Ning Er was standing next to him with a saucer in both hands, and he didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, so he couldn't help but remind.

Ning Er's face was full of disappointment, and she saluted, "Yes, master." Then he respectfully stepped aside.

Xie Duo didn't pay attention to Ning Er at all.

……

……

After sending Xie Duo away, Shen Xi arrived at the courtyard where he lived, and saw Ning Er squatting in the corner, crying while washing socks, handkerchiefs and other gadgets.

Because the group only stayed in Nanjing for one day, the large clothes could not be washed, but some small items still had to be washed, Zhu Shan and Xiu'er returned to Tingzhou with Xie Yun'er earlier, and Lin Dai was a young lady and a future young lady, so she couldn't do it, and these things could only be done by Ning'er.

"Ning'er, what's wrong with you? Don't you hate me for telling you to go out? Shen Xi's heart softened and asked.

Ning Er wiped her tears: "The master is right to reprimand, it was the slave who was rude in front of the guests...... However, when the slave maid was young, before he was sold, he heard many stories about Mr. Xie and admired him, and the slave just wanted to see him a few more times up close. ”

Only then did Shen Xi know that the philistine and frivolous Ning'er also had her idol, and this idol was the old and healthy Xie Duo.

Shen Xi thought about it, if you want to say that Xie Duo's wife died early, although there are people around him to take care of her, they are all men, and these people are not as careful as women.

If Ning'er is given to Xie Duo, it will be a beautiful thing.

Xie Duo has someone to take care of, not to mention, Ning'er can also accompany her idol, and the most important thing is to let her accept the influence of a person with lofty ambitions like Xie Duo and get rid of those bad things in her.

But this matter is a bit ridiculous, in what name did you send Ning'er over?

Continuation?

Concubines?

Maidservant?

Mommy?

He wanted to send it, but Xie Duo didn't want to accept it!

Ning Er can be regarded as an older young woman in this era, but she is only in her early twenties, and in her previous life, she was like a flower!

Xie Duo is now sixty-five, enough to be Ning'er's grandfather, and Ning'er is good-looking, how can she keep such a good girl's family by her side?

Under the melon field and plums, even if Xie Duo has no idea, but Ning'er is taken care of by her after all, and it is not very good to spread it!

Shen Xi asked, "Then do you want to stay with me, or do you want to take care of Old Mr. Xie?" ”

Ning Er was stunned for a moment, then her face was a little ashamed, and she suddenly knelt down in front of Shen Xi, kowtowed, and said, "If the old man is willing to give the slave and maid to stay, the slave and maid must take good care of Mr. Xie." ”

Others are so sincere, Shen Xi may believe it, but who is this...... From the fact that he tried to seduce him, the little master, when he was only seven years old, it was enough to see that Ning'er was a scheming maid!

I really sent you to Xie Duo, you said that you want to take good care of Xie Duo, don't wait to go back and hook up with the Xie family's disciples and servants, or have any dealings with people outside, so that Xie Duo will be discredited, so that I will not be kind enough to find someone to take care of Xie Duo, but to be a sinner!

Shen Xi said: "You bought it back by Aunt Sun, nominally I am your master, but in fact, you and I have nothing to do with each other, and I have no right to make decisions about your future." ”

These words are obviously not Shen Xi's true thoughts, even Ning'er knows that Shen Xi has completely mastered her life, and is more qualified than Hui Niang.

Shen Xi said who to marry her, or to whom to give it to, Hui Niang not only would not object, but would raise her hands in favor, that was when Shen Xi did not have any fame, now that Shen Xi is an official in the court, it can be said that it is easy to deal with her maid.

"Ask the master to be fulfilled."

Ning'er fell in love with Shen Xi, kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up.

Shen Xi said: "If you are willing to kneel, kneel." In any case, I will not say yes. ”

After saying that, Shen Xi no longer paid attention to Ning Er and went directly into the room, Shen Xi wanted to see how sincere Ning Er was about this matter?

Lin Dai was waiting for Ning'er to help her wash her clothes and handkerchiefs in the room, but after a while, she found that there was no movement, so she couldn't help but run out to look, and saw Ning'er kneeling on the cold muddy floor of the yard and couldn't get up, and couldn't help but look at Shen Xi curiously, not knowing what was going on.

"Leave her alone!"

Shen Xi deliberately looked very angry, in fact, he wanted Ning'er to hear, "The home-raised maid doesn't want to repay the master, she thinks about getting married all day long, and forgets who didn't even have to eat at the beginning, if we didn't give her a mouthful, after the catastrophe, would she be able to live to this day?" ”

When Lin Dai heard this, her little face suddenly wrinkled, and she looked very aggrieved...... Although Shen Xi was scolding Ning'er, she listened as if she was scolding her.

She was also raised by the Shen family's "almsgiving".

"Humph!"

Lin Dai's little face was full of displeasure, she was angry that Shen Xi didn't care enough for her along the way, but now Shen Xi "pointed at Sang and scolded Huai", which made her even more ashamed and angry, and turned around and went back to the house directly.

Shen Xi didn't catch up and persuade him, the wind and waves had come over before, Lin Dai had a little emotion, as long as he turned around, the key was Ning'er's side.

In fact, Shen Xi also felt that with Ning'er's current mentality, it was a little difficult to keep her any longer, rather than letting Ning'er think about how to hook up with others all day long, it was really better to let her follow Xie Duo and let Xie Duo gradually edify and influence her.

This can also be regarded as a kind of responsibility of Shen Xi to his own maid, although it may not be a good thing to let Ning'er be by Xie Duo's side.

At night, Ning'er was still kneeling in the courtyard, she didn't eat or speak, and it seemed that she was going to die to the end.

Because he was going to leave the next day, Shen Xi pretended to be angry, and when he saw that he didn't look at Ning Er, he went directly into the room, but before falling asleep, he still coaxed Lin Dai into tears and laughed before he could feel at ease.

When she got up the next morning, Ning Er actually knelt in the yard reluctantly, Shen Xi had known Ning Er for seven or eight years, and had never seen her so stubborn.
