Jiao Wenying took Xie Xianzhi to the Yamen of the General Administration Department, and didn't say anything to him on the way.

When she arrived at her office, Jiao Wenying asked Xie Xianzhi to stand and wait, sat down and wrote a short message, sealed it and handed it to Xie Xianzhi, saying: "You take this letter of recommendation and go back to show it to your father, your father will naturally know which academy to send you to." You concentrate on studying for a few years, and don't worry about the trivial affairs of the outside family. What happens in the future depends on your creation. ”

Xie Xianzhi carried the letter and was asked out of the yamen of the General Administration Department in confusion. Jiao Wenying asked his entourage to drive him back to Xie's house, but other than that, he still didn't say a word. He could only guess that Jiao Yintai might have met his father Xie Pu? But if Xie Pu really knew such important ministers, why didn't he mention it at home?

Xie Xianzhi left in the carriage of the Jiao family, and the people of Pingnanbo Mansion saw it from a distance, and they didn't dare to step forward to stop them, so they could only look at each other. No matter what Xie Xianzhi's identity or personality is, he sits in the carriage of the political envoy, and anyone has to look at Jiao Wenying's face. Otherwise, if Jiao Wenying is displeased, wouldn't it be troublesome for his own family? How many of the powerful and high-ranking officials in Jinling City dare to say that they and their families are innocent enough to have no handle to arrest? Once Jiao Wenying decides to treat them, he can collect a bunch of evidence at any time and report it to the emperor, then no one will care about face.

Xie Xianzhi was taken to Gongyuan West Street by the carriage in such a daze. He recognized the place, and was a little confused at first, but soon reacted. When the third brother Xie Huizhi asked Qingsong to bring him a message in private, he seemed to mention that the family is now renting a house on Gongyuan West Street and is a neighbor of Zongfang's cousin Xie Jinkun.

Xie Jinkun.

When he heard this name, Xie Xianzhi's mood was a little strange. He originally thought that the name of his second brother Xie Jinzhi came from his name "Xianzhi". But if the cousins of the clan are all "Jin", it means that Xie Jinzhi's name is based on the rules of the clan, so what is he Xie Xianzhi?

The biological mother Cao was forcibly married into the Xie family, and she appointed herself as the wife of Yuan. But in fact, the Wen family is the one who is the first to enter the door, and it is also on the family tree, no matter how you look at it, it is a justifiable Yuan match. The Cao family has never returned to Huyin's hometown since marriage, and he is not even willing to mention it. Xie Xianzhi couldn't help but wonder, did their mother and son have their names on the family tree? What kind of identity is it?

While the father acquiesced to their brother's name, did he only recognize Xie Jinzhi's identity as a son-in-law? Now, Cao's self-invitation and departure, what is his identity Xie Xianzhi? is still the eldest son, or the son of a woman, or ...... From beginning to end, he was just the eldest son?

Xie Xianzhi thought wildly, and suddenly remembered that if he saw his aunt Wen for a while, what should he call her? Mother Cao has been reconciled and is no longer his father's wife. And the Wen family accompanied his father in weal and pain, and now his status in the Xie family is definitely not ordinary as in the past. Most of the fathers will not marry the same wife again, and only recognize the Wen family as the main family. Then it would be inappropriate for him to call his father's main room an aunt. Could it be ...... Do you want to change your name to mother?

Xie Xianzhi's mind was in a mess, and when the third brother Xie Huizhi pulled the curtain and happily called him "big brother", he woke up and responded to the other party with a smile: "Third brother." ”

Xie Huizhi pulled him out of the carriage in surprise, and thanked the Jiao family's entourage again and again. The entourage of the Jiao family simply sent the people to the place, and then drove away, without saying a word.

Xie Huizhi happily pulled Xie Xianzhi into the house and told him: "My father told us early in the morning that you might come back today, we couldn't believe it, but we didn't expect it to be true!" Everyone is waiting for you. My aunt even had someone cook a big table of dishes! ”

Xie Xianzhi hesitated a little. He suddenly felt that he had no face to see these relatives. However, Xie Huizhi had already pulled him into the living room with force. He looked up and saw his father Xie Pu sitting on the front seat, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, all distractions were left behind, his legs were weak, he had already knelt down, and tears flowed down his face: "Father! ”

Xie Pu hurriedly held him up: "Good boy, you have suffered." ”

Xie Xianzhi's tears suddenly flowed even more.

Xie Jinzhi and Xie Hanzhi both happily gathered around, and one said, "It's good to be back, our family is finally reunited." The other said, "Big brother has lost a lot of weight, is he also sick like me?" ”

Xie Mulin leaned over and took a closer look, and said to his younger siblings: "The eldest brother is indeed sick, and he hasn't recovered yet, so he has to recuperate at home and make up for it when he goes back." ”

Xie Yingfen said with a smile: "Then I'll give my stewed pear to my eldest brother to eat, the sweet one is the most throat-moisturizing." ”

Xie Mulin said: "Let's ask the doctor to come and see it first." I don't know what the eldest brother's illness is, in case it's not right, it's not good for him to eat the stewed pear. ”

The brothers and sisters chattered about how to help Xie Xianzhi replenish his body, Xie Xianzhi listened, only felt that his heart was warm, his nose was sour, and he couldn't stop his tears.

Wen handed over a handkerchief and said gently: "Good boy, don't cry, you have returned to your own house, what else is there to cry about?" ”

Xie Xianzhi took the handkerchief and wiped his tears, looked at Wen, and hesitated: "Madam." ”

Wen smiled and said softly: "It doesn't have to be like this, you used to call me aunt, just keep calling me like this." ”

Xie Pu said on the side: "What is the name of aunt and wife?" Just call your mother. ”

Wen glanced at Xie Pu with disgust, complaining that he didn't know how to understand the child's feelings.

But Xie Xianzhi hesitated, and still called obediently: "Mother." This surprised Wen, and his eyes were red.

Xie Xianzhi lowered his head and sat down surrounded by his brothers. The phrase "mother" was easier to say than he imagined. Ever since he knew what his mother had done to the Xie family, he knew that she was no longer qualified to be his father's wife. He still respects his biological mother, but ...... It is not excluded that Guan Wen is called his mother. At the very least, Wen is the virtuous woman who has always been loyal to her father and has always taken care of her grandmother and younger siblings, and deserves his title.

Xie Pu asked about Xie Xianzhi's choice of the prince to accompany him today. Xie Xianzhi waited outside the palace gate most of the time, and he didn't know much, so he only said the parts he had experienced, and he quickly finished speaking.

However, he specifically mentioned Jiao Wenying, the political envoy, and asked his father if he knew the other party.

Xie Pu didn't want to talk about it, so he simply said: "Your second grandmother's father, Song Saijiu, has worked with Master Jiao for many years and has some friendships. The emperor didn't care about this little favor, so he helped out. ”

Xie Xianzhi suddenly realized.

Xie Mulin glanced at Xie Jinzhi and Xie Huizhi on the side, and they all smiled understandingly.

This person for help was found by Xie Pu himself. But the method was thought up by the three of them, and they also informed the eldest brother Xie Xianzhi in advance to prepare. Otherwise, Xie Xianzhi's performance was not outstanding enough when he was being taught, and he would not be able to achieve that effect. If he wasn't good enough, and he was burdened by his mother's notoriety, how could he let Jiao Wenying naturally have a heart of love for talent and pull him out of the quagmire of Pingnanbo's Mansion? The emperor would help speak, and that was a bonus. The Xie family was originally just counting on Jiao Wenying alone.

Jiao Wenying is a well-known lonely minister, and his friendship with the Song family cannot be put on the table. Xie Pu can't damage his reputation in order to save his son. Xie Xianzhi is good enough to make the whole thing seem more convincing.

Now that the person has been successfully rescued, the Xie family is relieved. Xie Pu also said to his son: "Don't worry about luggage. You left the house empty-handed, and you just had to buy clothes and supplies. ”

Xie Xianzhi hesitated for a moment, and asked in a ashamed whisper, "That'...... What about the big sister? ”
