Eight dishes are placed on a small round table, and the aroma is overflowing.

Xie Jun took a bite and was immediately full of praise: "The cook you invited is really extraordinary!" Excellent cooking! ”

Even the cooks in the Yongning County Lord's Mansion are slightly inferior.

Xie Mingxi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Of course." ”

Everything can be done one or two, only to eat thousands of grievances. Facts have proved that hiring Ye Qiuniang into the mansion is a very correct decision.

Three meals a day, renovated, no duplicate within ten days. The meals are delicious and pleasant.

Xie Jun subconsciously asked: "How much does this cook get paid every month?" ”

Xie Mingxi smiled casually: "Ten taels of silver a month, it's not too much." ”

Xie Jun twitched the corner of his mouth, and there was a pain in his flesh.

Xie Fu's right-hand man, five taels of silver a month. His eldest follower, Xie Qingshan, only took eight taels of silver every month. is just a cook, but she has become the person with the most money in the Xie family.

It's just that, facing his daughter's bright smile, Xie Jun, a "loving father", disliked the high salary of the cook, cleared his throat and said: "This cook's cooking skills are quite good, and I will return home with Yuanting in the future, and let her be in charge of the kitchen." ”

Xie Mingxi said apologetically: "When I invited her to be a cook in Dingxiang Building that day, I made it a decision that she would only cook my own meals. ”

Xie Jun: "......"

A cook, the score is not small. I thought I was a chef!

Fortunately, the caring daughter quickly said: "Father thinks that the food is in the mouth, and he will come to Chunjin Pavilion to eat together when he returns home." ”

As for Xie Yuanting, let's stay where it's cool! Don't get in her way.

Xie Jun didn't pay attention to the hidden meaning of this sentence for a while, and nodded with a smile.

As soon as he moved two chopsticks, Congyu came to report with a strange face: "Third Miss Qiqi, the eldest young master is here." ”

Isn't Xie Yuanting in Lanxiang Courtyard? How did you get to Chunjin Pavilion?

Xie Jun was a little surprised, and opened his mouth and said, "Let him in." ”

Congyu didn't dare to respond, and quickly glanced at Xie Mingxi. The young lady once instructed that no one should enter the Chunjin Pavilion without her consent.

Xie Mingxi didn't brush Xie Jun's face in public, and nodded slightly.

Only then did Yu take the order to retreat.

……

After a while, Xie Yuanting walked in.

Xie Yuanting gave birth to a good skin. It's a pity that each other is born from the heart. That handsome face always has a bit of disgusting arrogance.

Xie Yuanting unconsciously imitated the pride and indifference of the county lord of Yongning, but unfortunately he didn't look like a god. With his head held high, no one in his eyes, and a lack of virtue.

Even Xie Jun was a little unhappy in his eyes, and reprimanded with a calm face: "What kind of expression do you have?" Look like no one can stand you! If you don't want to stay in Xie Mansion, you go to the county lord's mansion and go to your mother-in-law. ”

Xie Yuanting: "......"

Xie Yuanting, who had been scolded for several days, was sulking in his heart. However, no matter how bold he is, he doesn't dare to talk back at will.

The slaps I received a few days ago are still fresh in my memory. The thought of that day makes my face throb.

Xie Yuanting lowered his head: "Father is angry." ”

Xie Jun snorted lightly and opened his mouth to ask, "You don't stay in Lanxiang Courtyard, what are you doing here?" ”

Of course, Xie Yuanting would not say that he disliked Aunt Ding, who cried and cried at every turn, smelled the aroma of the food, and had an idea: "I want to come to have dinner with my father and third sister." ”

In fact, he was angry that his father was partial, so he turned around halfway and came to Chunjin Pavilion. It's a pity that before he made a fuss, he was suppressed by Xie Jun.

Xie Mingxi pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile: "Oh? Does the eldest brother really want to come to dinner? It shouldn't be that my father is eccentric, and I want to make trouble in Chunjin Pavilion! ”

Xie Yuanting: "......"

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, beware of being disliked by your husband in the future and being taken home by Hugh." Xie Yuanting was indignant in his heart and fought back maliciously.

For a young girl, "not being able to get married" and "being abandoned by her husband in the future" are the most vicious verbal attacks. It is equivalent to a teenager being scolded for "not being able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future" and "being cuckolded".

Xie Mingxi smiled: "This doesn't bother the big brother." The eldest brother still put all his thoughts on schoolwork, and strive to come back with a first-class exam, which can also make his father's face shine. ”

Xie Yuanting, who has a second class and occasionally a third class in the monthly exam: "......"

Xie Yuanting glared at Xie Mingxi, as if he was about to spew out sparks in his eyes.

Xie Mingxi suddenly flattened his mouth, pulled Xie Jun's sleeve and complained: "Father, my eldest brother glared at me, and I was scared. ”

Xie Jun frowned and glared at Xie Yuanting: "As an elder brother, you should take care of your younger sister." Look at your mean face, where do you still look like a brother? ”

Xie Yuanting has been the one who has been favored since he was a child. Now that feng shui is taking turns, seeing his father favoring Xie Mingxi, don't worry too much in my heart. Swallowing his mistake, he swallowed his mistake: "What my father said is true." The son really shouldn't have a quarrel with the third sister. ”

That's pretty much it.

Xie Jun's expression slowed slightly, and he turned his head to coax Xie Mingxi: "Mingniang, don't be afraid." With me, no one dares to bully you. ”

Xie Mingxi was moved: "Father, you are so good to your daughter." In the future, the daughter will study hard to add glory to her father and glory to the Xie family. ”

Oh, yes!

's daughter is outstanding and can also fight for him.

The first name of Lianchi Academy, the head of the freshman dormitory, and the queen's protégé. Such a smart and clever daughter has a limitless future in the future. It's much more promising than Xie Yuanting.

Thinking of this, Xie Jun's face became more and more loving: "You are smart and diligent, it is not difficult to take the first class exam." However, if you want to maintain your top spot, you have to work hard. ”

Xie Mingxi should be obedient.

……

The scene of father and daughter's filial piety stabbed Xie Yuanting's eyes and even more his heart.

Who doesn't want to take the first grade? Who wouldn't want to be the number one?

He wanted to do it too!

However, his talent is limited, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't get into the first class. In the New Confucian Academy, which ranks last among the six major academies, it can only barely maintain a medium-sized level.

Why is Xie Mingxi so smart?

Why did his father pass on his reading talent to Xie Mingxi?

Probably because the resentment in Xie Yuanting's heart was too deep, Xie Mingxi suddenly looked up and smiled at him encouragingly: "Big brother, what I said just now was sincere, not intentionally angry with you." ”

"If you can't get into the first grade, it can be seen that the eldest brother is not working hard enough. From today on, after the eldest brother returns home every day, stop wandering around. Review books and practice strategy diligently. The so-called diligence can make up for the shortcomings, and it is always good to work hard. ”

Xie Jun thought so, and slapped the table: "Ming Niang is reasonable." Yuanting, in the future, you will sleep when you read every day. ”

Xie Yuanting: "......"

Why did he come to Chunjin Pavilion just now? Wouldn't it be nice to go back to the yard and rest?

After a day of studying at the academy, I still have to learn when I come back! It's just terrible!

Damn Xie Mingxi! One mouth will pit him!
