Chapter 40: Father's Promotion
The Zhai family led the three sisters of Xie Jingyi to live in Qingshan Village for a whole New Year.
The green mountains and green waters in the hometown raise people, the eldest aunt kills chickens and stews soup every day, Zhai's is visibly mellowed with the naked eye, and the whole person has improved much more than before.
Xie Baolin went to the county government early, and Xie Jingze returned to the academy on the same day as him.
When I returned to Hangzhou City, the weather was already slightly springy. Xie Jingyi was still riding her little donkey, babbling and singing, with a sword on her waist, on her back, and a bow hanging with a quiver.
It looked like a hedgehog, which was ridiculous.
But she didn't think it was happening, her life was much more important than her face.
When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Xie Jingyi saw that Zhai had not gotten out of the car for a long time, so he hurriedly stepped forward and opened the curtain, "Don't be afraid, Daddy and my brother have settled down." β
Zhai stretched out his hand and sighed, "You child, you should have been protected by A-Niang, but now you are protecting A-Niang." β
The Xie family originally didn't have many people, and in that attack, there were a number of casualties before they could be replenished, and it was sad to look empty.
"Sanniang, you are back, why have you lived for so long, I want to go to Qingshan Village by myself, but the eldest prince said that someone was waiting for me and told me not to go. I've been waiting here all morning, and I've been waiting for it. The third lady is a lot whiter, and she looks good! β
Xie Jingyi looked at Qingping who was chattering, and her mood was much better, "I miss you too." β
Qingping was so excited that she hurriedly stretched out her hand and helped Zhai, "Madame, great joy, great joy!" Our lord has been promoted, and he no longer has to go to Fuyang County. β
"Really, is Daddy back?"
Qingping happily showed a mouthful of big white teeth, "I'm back in the morning, I'm going to the government office now." Our master, Xie Tong will be sentenced in the future. β
Xie Jingyi clasped his hands together, "Thank God!" β
The Zhai family was also happy, because of the matter of the mountain bandits, they were still worried about this promotion, they were afraid that eighty percent of them would be yellow, but they didn't expect it to be!
"The city of Hangzhou has been spread all over the city, saying that it is Qi Guogong, Song Zhizhou, and Xu Tongju all highly recommend our master!"
"Xu Tong's sentence?" Zhai Shi paused and asked in surprise.
Qingping nodded, "No, everyone says so, there should be nothing wrong with that." Madame, this is a great event, and the slave has the cheekiness to ask you for money! β
Zhai Shi smiled and touched his stomach, "Reward!" Reward! β
Xie Jingyi's eyes were bent, and when he turned his head, he saw Chai Youchen standing in a recess in the corner of the wall, he was still wearing soap-colored clothes, like a cloud of ink splashed on the wall.
Xie Jingyi stepped back, and the Zhai family was very happy and didn't pay attention to her.
"Are you looking for me?" Xie Jingyi walked over quietly.
Chai Youchen looked her up and down, "I've grown taller." β
Xie Jingyi's eyes lit up, and he gestured, "Seriously, haha, I looked at myself and didn't notice it." β
It's a big regret for her to not be slender enough, and it would be great if she could grow taller in this life.
Chai Youchen stretched out a small nail, "Jump up and see if you can hit it?" β
Xie Jingyi's smile stiffened on his face, why don't you die?
"You're not here to see the scenery, are you?"
"That group of people is indeed a mountain bandit, who was bought and came to Hangzhou to kill your father and brother. They don't know who it is, but they only remember that there is a small red mole on the tiger's mouth on the buyer's right hand. They take the money to do things, according to the rules of the trade, and do not ask much. β
Xie Jingyi frowned, "Approximately?" Are you sure you came to Hangzhou to kill, not on the way from Hangzhou to the capital? β
Chai Youchen nodded, "According to the day of my departure, it should be sent out three days after the departure of the grandmother of the Yongping Marquis Mansion." They have been in Hangzhou for a while, but they have not found the right opportunity. β
"Those who want you to go, the same people who want your father to die, should not be the same people. They were arrested this time, and your father has been promoted again, so he shouldn't come back in a short time. You don't have to, you are so scared that you almost have iron on your teeth. β
Xie Jingyi bared his teeth and glared at Chai Youchen, "The old lady's life is precious!" β
When Chai Youchen heard this, he actually laughed out loud.
Xie Jingyi looked at it in a daze for a while, then turned his head to the side and said nothing.
"I've shown sincerity, when will you start making money, don't forget, you haven't given me the money for medicine yet!"
Xie Jingyi waved his hand indiscriminately, "Do you have a shop on Zhengyang Street?" β
"There's a two-story one on Tongxing South Street, which is about the same size." Chai Youchen said, a little weak-hearted, the location of this shop is not very good, he is crying, he is planning to go out and stop the loss in time.
"I'll see you in that shop tomorrow morning, and I'll tell you in detail. You can't make much money selling coarse cloth, don't worry, follow me, and ensure that your family is rich. β
Chai Youchen nodded, "Well, Mama Xie, the dowry for my wife depends on you." β
Xie Jing's sleeves flicked, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and he was about to leave.
Chai Youchen stretched out his hand, grabbed her collar, and screwed her back.
Xie Jingyi was embarrassed and annoyed, and kicked Chai Youchen hard, Chai Youchen didn't move at all, and said in a low voice, "Your father went to the capital to send a letter to Han Jiang." β
Xie Jingyi retracted his feet, Han Jiang? Her father actually knows Han Jiang?
This Han Jiang is not a famous minister at the moment, but within this year, he will become famous, not because he really has much ability, but because he is the prince's protΓ©gΓ©.
As the saying goes, if a person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, this is the truth.
It's a pity that later...... Xie Jingyi frowned, "I haven't heard my father mention it." But what are you spying on my daddy? β
Chai Youchen touched his nose and did not speak.
Xie Jingyi saw that Chai Youchen didn't say anything, nor did he ask, this was a tacit understanding cultivated in his previous life. Both of them are loyal to the official family at the same time, but one is outside and the other is inside, and their methods and styles are completely different. If you have to get to the bottom of everything, even if you tear your head every day, you won't be able to figure it out.
After all, people in the same camp, different paths to the same end.
"Let's go, my aunt should wait for me."
Xie Jingyi waved his hand and glanced at Chai Gui, who was guarding the alley. If it weren't for someone guarding it, and there were only two of them in this alley, she wouldn't have stepped forward to talk to the person who attracted bees and butterflies, splashing herself with a fishy shame.
The door of the Xie family has been closed, Chai Youchen just withdrew his eyes and looked at the sky, today's sunshine is very good, out of the first month, spring is coming.
Chai Gui stepped forward, hesitated, and said, "Childe, don't blame the little talker, this Xie Sanniang ......"
Chai Youchen flicked his sleeves, "You still say that you know how much you say?" β
Chai Gui was stunned and hurriedly silenced.
Childe, I want to say, Xie Sanniang kicked a footprint on your black robe!
