Chapter XVIII Consent

Early the next morning, Xie Wanqing went to greet the old lady as usual, but as soon as she entered the door, she saw Xie Huaiying sitting on the side.

Poor Xie Huaiying was still guilty after he went back yesterday, and in order to compensate Xie Wanqing, he got up early and pulled the Huang family over to greet the old lady, just to help the old lady agree to Xie Wanqing's participation in the discernment conference.

Xie Wanqing often went to greet the old lady in the morning, and occasionally at night, the Huang family kept talking about this in his ear, asking him to go to see the old lady more. Although he pays lip service, children are playful and may forget about it after a while. I didn't expect it to come in handy this time.

Xie Wanqing entered the house and saluted the old lady and the Huang family: "Wanqing has seen grandmother and second aunt. ”

The old lady smiled and beckoned her to sit aside.

Huang also smiled kindly at her.

Since Xie Huaizhen is here, it is naturally more appropriate for him to go to the discernment conference, and she only needs to nod and agree to be a playmate who accompanies Xie Huaizhen.

Therefore, Xie Wanqing told the old lady about Xie Huaiying going to play with her yesterday, and talked about how bad their chess skills were when the two of them played chess, and hurried home without eating Xie Huaiying's scared meal. The funny old lady and Huang couldn't stop laughing.

"You don't have to compare with him, the girl's family is just literate and reasonable, is it difficult to go with him to rush to take the imperial examination?" The old lady patted Xie Wanqing's hand, and smiled at Xie Huaiying again: "Don't be proud, what can you count if you win your sisters in the family, and you can win your father." ”

Although Xie Heng served in the imperial court, he was also a tanhualang who played horses and roamed the streets when he was young, and he was talented, but he was not interested in the court and the opposition, he loved poetry, calligraphy and painting, and his chess skills were even more exquisite.

Xie Huaiying immediately became stunned when he heard this, but his brain turned quickly, and he stepped forward and grabbed the old lady's sleeve and said: "Tomorrow's discernment conference, my grandson wants to let Sister Wanqing accompany me, Mr. said that there will be many people at the conference, and Huaiying will definitely be able to make great progress, and I believe it won't be long before I can catch up with my father." ”

The old lady was happy to see this, he thought Xie Heng was so easy to catch up? But she likes Xie Huaizhen's appearance, although she is smart and innocent, she is sincere but not flattering, unlike Xie Huaijin, although she is calm but loses her liveliness, she is silent and does not look like a child, no matter how good her homework is, she doesn't like it in her heart.

Xie Wanqing has often come to greet her recently, and sometimes she accompanies her to copy scriptures in the Buddhist hall, not to mention whether she is deliberately pleasing or not, she can do this as a seven-year-old child, and the old lady likes it in her heart. No one wants to sit alone in the Buddha hall for a day. When I opened my eyes, I could see a child next to me, and it was impossible to say that I was not touched in the slightest.

Therefore, the old lady did not refuse Xie Huaizhen's proposal. Just reminded Xie Wanqing to remember to ask the gentleman in the school for leave.

Xie Wanqing nodded obediently.

Xie Huaiying saw that things had gone as he wished, so he took the little girl to the school, and the Huang family also retired.

Xie Wanqing just wanted to say that she was going to the school too, but saw Xie Wanyun Shi Ran coming in from the door.

"Say hello to Grandmother." Ying Ying saluted, like a yellow bird.

Xie Wanyun is three years older than Xie Wanqing, and now she is ten years old. The frame has begun to grow, slender and slender, and the posture of the United States and Japan can be faintly seen in the future.

When the old lady saw her come in, her previous joy subsided, and she asked lightly, "Why didn't Wan Yun go to the school today?" ”

Xie Wanqing also felt strange, it stands to reason that Xie Wanyun should have been studying in the academy at this moment.

didn't know that Xie Wanyun had recently seen her study diligently every day, and she couldn't help but work harder, reading every day until late at night, so she got up late this morning. I heard a report from Aunt Fang's side, saying that Xie Huaiying had been playing at Xie Wanqing's place for an afternoon yesterday, and invited her to go to the discernment conference together, so she quickly packed up and hurried to the old lady.

Xie Huaiying is the second sister-in-law, and he is only good and not bad. Xie Wanyun didn't bother to please him as a child before, because at that time, even if she didn't please the second room, she was much better than Xie Wanqing. But that's no longer the case.

Xie Wanyun lowered her eyes and said: "I heard that Huaiying and Wanqing are going to participate in the discernment conference tomorrow, they are young, Wanyun is a few years older after all, and I think I should be able to take care of it on the side, so I came to my grandmother to recommend herself." ”

There are many and mixed people in the discerning conference, Xie Huaiying and Xie Wanqing are six years old and seven years old, which is indeed too young. Besides, three of the four children in the house have gone, there is no reason to behave Xie Wanyun not to let her go, and when others know about it, they will say that the old lady has a bowl of water that is uneven.

Therefore, the old lady did not refuse her, and said to Xie Wanqing on the side: "Remember to report this matter to your father and mother after class later." ”

The two hurriedly responded.

Coming out of the old lady's courtyard, the two went to the school together.

Xie Wanqing knew that someone was afraid that someone had reported to Aunt Fang again, and told her about Xie Huaiying's coming over yesterday, so Xie Wanyun was in a hurry to go.

What Xie Wanyun wants most is to spread her reputation for being talented and knowledgeable, and the conference is a good opportunity. Moreover, the students of the Shouxi Academy will definitely participate, they are all the sons of high-ranking officials and nobles in the court, Xie Wanyun has also reached the age of looking at others in a few years, and it is not bad to go to find out the bottom this time.

Xie Wanqing was still thinking about whether someone would set her up tomorrow, but Xie Wanyun had already come over, took her hand and said, "Sister, this is with Brother Huaiying, don't tell my sister anything?" ”

Tell me to set it up?

Xie Wanqing sneered in her heart, but she couldn't tear her face with Xie Wanyun now, and she didn't have the ability to compete with Aunt Fang. Therefore, I had to say with a smiling face: "Sister said nonsense, Brother Huai Ying said that I could climb trees and dig birds' nests before I agreed to go, my sister likes to read the most on weekdays, and I definitely don't like this, if I tell you, maybe you will be angry." ”

"Is that what Huai Ying said?"

"That's right! There are also sugar gourds and sugar people to eat! Xie Wanqing had a yearning expression on her face. Xie Huaiying did say so, is there anything wrong?

Xie Wanyun didn't know the details of their exchange yesterday, she could only go back to Aunt Fang for verification, she remembered Xie Wanqing's hard study in the past month, maybe it was really just a whim, and now it was just a return to her nature. After all, what Xie Wanqing hated most in the past was reading.

If that's the case, it's still a good thing for her.

"Brother Huaixin lied to you," she tapped Xie Wanqing's nose, "The Mingxing Conference is not a place for food and fun, it is full of people like Mr. discussing knowledge. ”

It's best that Xie Wanqing can take the initiative not to go after listening to her words, and when the time comes, not only will the old lady be angry, but Xie Huaiying will no longer be close to her.
