Qiu's family was very favored by Mrs. Qiu when she was in her mother's house, and after marrying into her mother-in-law's family, she became big by herself, where could she stand a junior who contradicted herself like this, and she had to fight back immediately.

Deng Wenya gently tugged at her sleeve, "Mother, I prepared a lot of snacks, take them out for my cousin and Sister Yin, can you?" It also relieves boredom".

Qiu endured it, and finally swallowed a bad breath, Deng Wenya is fourteen years old this year, it is a good time to say kiss, she can't offend Xie at this moment.

Deng Wenya took out a small package, which was full of all kinds of food wrapped in clean kraft paper, and smiled and beckoned Qiu Buwei and Qiu Xiyin to eat.

Qiu Busui also showed a smile and picked out a bag of dried apricots for Qiu Xiyin, "Sister Yin has just recovered from her illness, so she must have a dull mouth, so eat this to enhance the taste."

Qiu Xiyin took it and thanked her, she chose a bag of sour black plum for herself, put one in her mouth, and said with a smile, "Sister Yin has always been sick, and my sister doesn't dare to disturb your recuperation, I don't know if my grandfather and grandmother are healthy?" ”

The two sisters talked about the topic of their hometown in Jiangnan, and after a while, Deng Wenya also interjected.

Qiu's temper came and went quickly, and after a while, he also asked about the recent situation of the two old people in Jiangnan, and several people were eating snacks and talking, and the atmosphere became lively.

Along the way, Qiu Busui asked about the situation in Jiangnan, and together with Deng Wenya, he introduced to Qiu Xiyin the customs of Beijing, what kind of clothes the girl wears when she is a child, what kind of jewelry she wears, and what games she likes to play.

The memory of the eight years old in the previous life has long been blurred, Qiu Xiyin really didn't know these things, so he also asked with interest, the three girls got along very well all the way, and they didn't feel that the road was far away.

The people of Qiufu set off as soon as the sky was bright, repaired once halfway, and finally saw the tall and majestic archway in front of Xie Jia Lane at noon, on which was written by the ancestor of this dynasty "the world is a teacher" four big characters.

Although Xie Jia Lane is called Lane, it is a small town, located in Yanjiao in the northwest direction of the capital, about 20 miles away from the capital, built according to the Yuanbao Mountain behind, with the archway of "the world as a teacher" as the dividing line, the inside lives are all the children of the Xie family, and the outside are all dependent on the Xie family for a living servant tenant farmers.

Behind the archway is a long embankment, surrounding the Mingyue Lake, and an arc-shaped arch bridge in the center connects the two banks, called the Jade Belt Bridge.

Under the jade belt bridge, there are 24 bridge holes of gradual size, which means "24 bridges on a moonlit night".

On the opposite side of Mingyue Lake is the place where the children of the Xie family live together, Xie family originates from Huizhou, and the opposite side of Mingyue Lake is a small building with different sizes of pink walls and daiwa horse head walls, each with a high wall to enclose it, which is very distinctive.

After about a quarter of an hour of passing through the bluestone paved alley, there is a small lake, which is called the Crescent Moon Lake because of its shape similar to the crescent moon, and is only a quarter of the size of the Mingyue Lake.

The Crescent Moon Lake is the place where the Xie clan lives on three sides, and a high wall is erected on one side facing the Mingyue Lake, making the Crescent Lake a natural barrier for the Xie clan, separating the clan from the side branches outside the Crescent Lake.

The carriage and horses were not allowed to enter outside the Crescent Lake, so Qiu Zhengshen and Xie Shi took everyone out of the car and got on the boat.

Under the plaque at the main gate of the Xie family on the other side of the lake, Xie Jiamu, the eldest grandson of the Xie family, and Qiu Xiyin's brother-in-law, Qiu Budan, waited with their servants bowing their heads.

Qiu Butan is 16 years old this year, studying at Hsieh's College, and only goes home when he is on vacation.

After a greeting and congratulations, Xie Jiamu looked at Qiu Xiyin and smiled, "This is the third cousin, it can be regarded as a meeting, sure enough, Yuxue is cute, uncle and aunt are so blessed, come, this is a gift from my cousin."

But it is a pair of jade gourds, which are tied into plum blossom knots with big red silk silk, the jade is transparent, very delicate and lovely, and it is most liked by a little girl of Qiu Xiyin's age.

Qiu Xiyin thanked her and took it with both hands, her eldest cousin was still as thoughtful and meticulous as in her previous life, and she even used ten percent of her thoughts to give an eight-year-old cousin a meeting gift.

The ancestors of the Xie family followed Grandpa Taizu to open up the territory, and after becoming famous, he helped Taizu stabilize the situation

After the unification of the world, he asked Taizu for the land within a hundred miles of Yuanbao Mountain, resigned and went into hiding, built a house and built a wall, and led the Xie family here, and since then the Xie family has multiplied here from generation to generation.

The ancestor of the Xie family did not sit idle after returning to seclusion, but built a Xie academy on the halfway of Yuanbao Mountain, which was originally only to recruit the children of the Xie family, which is equivalent to family studies.

This old ancestor was known for his profound knowledge and scheming when he followed the grandfather of Taizu to fight the world, and the dignitaries in Beijing were overjoyed when they heard that this great Confucian began to sit in the hall to accept apprentices, and they showed their skills and wanted to stuff their own children into it, and it was good to be able to listen to a word.

The ancestor of the Xie family was just prevaricating at first, but he didn't want to, but not long after, the grandfather of the Taizu was also moved, and personally came to the door to send the prince to the Xie clan to study.

The emperors all came to the door, and it was the future emperor who sent them, and the ancestors of the Xie family could only accept them except for them.

Now those high-ranking officials and nobles are even more energetic, like eight immortals crossing the sea, showing their magic in front of the Xie family every day.

The ancestor of the Xie family did not tire of it, and simply let it go, expanded the family studies, invited famous teachers and Confucians from all walks of life, and accepted all the children who sincerely studied to study.

The appeal of the ancestors of the Xie family was naturally extraordinary, and for a while, great Confucian celebrities from all over the world flocked to Xie's alley.

After a visit and talks, there were more than 20 people left, all of whom were famous people who students from all over the world wanted to see but could not get.

Later, most of these people or their descendants intermarried with the children of the Xie family and completely integrated into the Xie family lane.

With the famous teacher, the expansion of the Xie clan study is almost over, and the ancestors of the Xie family formulated strict admission rules and began to accept apprentices, and from here, the Xie Academy began to become a scale.

Among them, there are two most important points, the first essence of Xie Academy's admission of students is that they must study sincerely, as long as they enter the academy, there will be no princes and nobles, and the commoners and slaves are all Xie students.

On this basis, Xie also clearly stipulated that only two kinds of students were accepted, one was those who were noble and wealthy, and these students had to pay a high price to maintain the operation of the college.

The second is the talented, intelligent, hard-working and hard-working people, if these students are not wealthy, they can not pay the bundle, and the Xie family will provide them with free food and lodging until they have achieved academic success, and then slowly repay the arrears.

Of course, if the family's assets are acceptable, they still need to pay the shackles.

The formulation of these two basic rules, on the one hand, ensures the long-term operation of the college, and on the other hand, ensures that the college can recruit diligent and intelligent people from all over the world regardless of the cost, laying the cornerstone of the prosperity of Xie College.

By the time the ancestor of the Xie family died, the academy had doubled in size when it was first built, and had cultivated countless talents.

Among them, there are more than 100 people who are born in commoners, and even servants of Jinshi and Juren, and have won the reputation of "students in the world, out of Xie Men", and Grandpa Taizu wrote down the four big characters of "the world is a teacher" and gave them to the ancestors of the Xie family to show their virtue and merit.
