"What's so happy about him not being promoted to an official, no matter how small an official he is, ordinary people are not killed by him."

Aunt Ni said helplessly.

"I would like him to be beheaded and punished the heaviest, but I don't mean it." Sister-in-law Wang muttered.

Xie Yan glanced at Aunt Ni and Sister-in-law Wang, and did not make that Zhang Xingmin a few years ago had already achieved the position of Wupin Zhizhou, and now when he was the county commander of Xuan County, it was just an expedient measure for King Xuanhuai, that is, the three princes of the dynasty, precisely because King Xuanhuai valued Xuan County and wanted to hold the fat of Xuan County tightly in his hands, which made Zhang Xingmin degrade and secretly rise, and it is not accurate to say that it is a secret promotion, after all, Zhang Xingmin is indeed demoted in his official position.

But he has now become an important chess piece in the hands of King Xuanhuai, and is remembered by King Xuanhuai, which is nothing less than a good thing for Zhang Xingmin, who recognizes King Xuanli, that is, the second prince today, and the brother of King Xuanhuai's half-mother will be the future emperor, which is worth exchanging at the cost of degrading officials.

After separating from Aunt Ni and sister-in-law, Xie Yan and Song Xiaochi continued to wander around this small cottage, and Xie Yan told Song Xiaochi these words.

Song Xiaochi looked at Xie Yan and his gaze stayed on his face for a while.

Xie Yan gave her a questioning look, and didn't ask her why she was staring at herself, and the two seemed to have a simple tacit understanding after getting along for a while.

"I believe what you said now." Song Xiaochi said with a smile.

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows, "Which word?" ”

"I said that when I was in Bofu, because of my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, although my life was not very rich, but it was very warm, and you said at the time that your situation was just the opposite of mine, at least half of it should be true now."

Song Xiaochi glanced at him, and gestured his thumb in the middle of his ring finger, indicating that he was half convinced, and he looked a little smart, but in Xie Yan's eyes, her bright apricot eyes, slightly upturned corners of her mouth, and flying look were cunning and playful.

His eyes were soft, and he asked softly, "Oh? Which half is true? ”

"You are from a wealthy background, that's for sure, after all, the new science and technology scholars crossed the street, and at that time, Changning Street must have been crowded, and everyone wanted to see the new science and technology scholars, especially the top three in the top three on the top of the champion list, and it was probably even more difficult to squeeze a seat on the street at that time.

In addition to running early to occupy a seat, you also need to have a good figure and be strong, maybe those spicy and fierce aunts can also get a place, although the girls and ladies are delicate and frail, but there is no shortage of young men on the street, and they will definitely make a good place for them to watch.

But only a child like you, you were only seven or eight years old at that time, small and short, if the father and brother in the family are powerful, they can also put you on their shoulders, so the visual effect is also very good, but you said before that you are on the second floor of the restaurant to watch the champion of the street, at that time, if you want to find a good position in the restaurant, but I am afraid that it is not possible to have money, and you have to be rich and noble. ”

After Song Xiaochi finished speaking, he looked at Xie Yan and asked, "What I said is right?"

Xie Yan looked at her with a little smug look funny, nodded and said, "Well, yes, the analysis makes a lot of sense."

He asked again, "Have you been to the Jade Capital?" Have you ever seen a champion parade on the street? ”

After thinking about it, he thought it was unlikely, "Or have I heard someone say that the scene you just described seems to have seen it with your own eyes." ”

Song Xiaochi shook his head, "I was born in the lockdown city, and since I was a child, I have been to the farthest place that is my grandfather's house who lives in Chun County, this is the first time I have been out of the lockdown, as for I've heard it, my father and eldest brother have never been to Yudu, and my father has never talked to me about this."

My eldest brother and I often talk about things outside, but my eldest brother is good at martial arts, and he is not very good at reading, and he doesn't care much about the imperial examination and the top list, and he hasn't told me about this. I had listened to the play before, and I was curious about the singing in the play, and I bought some books and scripts, and I learned about this. ”

Xie Yan found that he had a deeper understanding of Song Xiaochi, he thought that she must have followed the rules when she was in the Bofu, and it was not until she met the marriage of the Tan family that she let go of her nature, but now it seems that it is not necessarily the case.

"What are you thinking?" Song Xiaochi couldn't help but ask when he saw Xie Yan's thoughtful expression.

"Only if you have the original nature, can you fly, and the skin will not be attached to the hair?" Xie Yan muttered.

"What?" Song Xiaochi looked surprised.

Xie Yan shook his head, suddenly pointed to the rolling mountains in the distance, hooked the corners of his lips, and said softly: "Look, how beautiful the scenery is there!"

Song Xiaochi looked in the direction of his finger, except for the snow-covered mountain, there was no other abnormal scenery, what was there to see.

As soon as Song Xiaochi wanted to ask, he heard Xie Yan say: "Do you know why I haven't saved Cheng Lao and them until now and left the cottage?"

Song Xiaochi looked at him with a "Do you think I'm stupid" looks, Xie Yan found that as long as she looked at herself with this kind of not very ladylike gaze and expression, he couldn't help but want to curl the corners of his lips, and he didn't know if he had any disease, he had a disease of "I can't control my emotions when I see her cunning and playful appearance", and I have to find Cheng Lao to check the pulse.

"Why don't you speak? Do you really think I'm a fool? ”

Song Xiaochi wrinkled his nose, feeling that he was being looked down upon.

"Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie, the three of us are invited!"

As soon as Xie Yan wanted to appease Song Xiaochi, who was a little embarrassed by him, he heard Cheng Gouyu shouting behind them, and when he looked back, Cheng Gouyu was running out of breath.

Xie Yan muttered helplessly: "Why didn't this guy follow Zhao Xiaoya to be courteous, and ran here to shake around, it's really an eyesore."

Song Xiaochi glanced at him, what is this, obviously Cheng Gouyu came to him on purpose.

"Gongzi Xie, our three masters woke up, he woke up and looked for you, Gongzi Xie, you are really a god, the three masters look much better, although people are still very thin, but they are alive and kicking, I think now I am pulling him up the mountain to chop two bundles of firewood, and there is nothing wrong with it, and there is, I haven't heard him cough since he woke up, by the way, every time I went to the meal to ask him what he wanted to eat, he either didn't eat or drank two mouthfuls of white porridge, I looked at it and felt panicked, but this time Aunt Ni asked him if he wanted to eat something, The third master said that he wanted to drink pork ribs and lotus root soup, and even Aunt Ni said that the pork ribs and lotus root soup should be stewed for a while, so it would be okay to bring him some chicken soup first, guess what? ”

Xie Yan glanced at him impatiently since he saw him, he kept talking about Cheng Gouyu, he stopped several times, but Cheng Gouyu automatically ignored him, he was like he only had a mouth and no ears.
