On the twentieth day after Wei Bin left, Xie Wan received a package from him.

In the baggage is a long wooden box painted with lacquer, which contains four major books of test questions from the past ten imperial examinations, as well as the excellent craftsmanship recognized by the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy, and even many comments on the old court court. In addition, there is a letter from Wei Bin, although it is only a few words, but it shows his appreciation for Xie Wan and his encouragement to Xie Lang.

After Xie Lang got these four booklets, he was so excited that he almost fainted!

This kind of thing has always been only collected in the Zhongshu Provincial Archives and has not been passed on, and even the prisoners of Guozijian may not be fortunate enough to get it, although it is only a reprinted copy, but for Xie Lang, what is the difference between it and the original?

Wei Bin actually took such a treasure as a gift to thank Wan, no wonder Chen Shifeng said that she wanted her to pay attention to it, if it fell into the hands of other people, as long as she studied it for a few years, it would be strange if she didn't get the opportunity to pass it on to the Golden Palace!

Xie Wan was very emotional, he didn't expect that a small conspiracy played by Xie Qi would make things develop to the point of alarming the presence of the current court's counselor, but the final result was not that she had to watch Xie Rong ascend this time, but that she not only won the battle for Wei Xian, but Xie Lang also got such a rare treasure!

Xie Lang has been concentrating on academics, with this, where is there any possibility of falling behind?

Wei Bin had a deep understanding of the situation in the second room, and knew that only if Xie Lang made achievements in his career could his brother and sister really have the capital to compete with Xie Rong, he might not ask about the grievances between them, and he would not avoid Xie Rong from now on, but she got these four books for Xie Lang. Even if he and Xie Rong advance and retreat together in the future, she has no regrets.

The road to revenge. It is a difficult road, and others can only give opportunities and help. It is yourself who really lifts your legs and walks this path.

Xie Wan was of course very happy with emotion, and immediately sent a letter to Wei Bin to thank him, but Wei Bin did not reply, which was expected by her. Before she achieved a certain strength, before Xie Lang showed his talent and academic strength, it was impossible for Wei Bin to establish any long-term friendship with them.

But to her surprise, Mrs. Wei wrote her back. Mrs. Wei's handwriting is very graceful, and there is a faint scent of ambergris on the letterhead. The words in the letter were very polite and polite, and only wrote a sentence at the end, if you go to Beijing, you will enter the house as a guest.

Xie Wan sent another letter of congratulations, but there was no reply from the Wei Mansion. Xie Wan was also relieved. Because it's finally starting to get normal.

In the winter moon, Qian Zhuang's senior brother in Cangzhou found two little girls who knew martial arts for Xie Wan, one was called Xingzhu, fourteen years old, and the other was Gu Xing, twelve years old. Qian Zhuang's senior brother is very heartfelt. The two people I found were orphan girls who had lost their families.

Xingzhu is a family martial art, his father originally served as a nursing home for Cangzhou Zhizhou, and six years ago Zhizhou was imprisoned for his crimes, and Xing's father also lost his errand. When he went to run darts for people, he fought more than ten bandits by himself, and died in a foreign country, and his bones were gone. Xing Zhu's mother took her infant son back to her parents' house with her. On the road, people also coveted money and goods, and followed and murdered.

Xingzhu was also stabbed several times. But he didn't die, but now he still has a scar under his left ear. It seemed to make her plain a little colder. Xie Wan asked Yuxue to comb Xing Zhu's long double bun to cover her scars. Xing Zhu smiled at the mirror, but instead asked Yuxue to help her put all her hair behind and comb it back to its original neat style.

She has to look at this scar all the time, reminding herself to be a jealous and hateful person.

Gu Xing has no family since she was a child, and even she can't figure out how her family died, she has lived in the Land Temple with her adoptive father since she can remember, and grew up eating hundreds of family meals. Her adoptive father was originally a lay disciple in Shaolin, but he broke his vows because of accidental murder and was cut off by his master. Gu Xing's kung fu was taught by her adoptive father, and her adoptive father also died last year, so she lived alone in the Land Temple.

Qian Zhuang's elder brother met her when he passed by, so he took her back to the dart bureau to sweep the yard.

Maybe it's because of Chang Chang being displaced, Gu Xing's heart is more cheerful than Xing Zhu, for her, as long as she has food, clothes, and tiles to cover her head, no one drags her to the Qinglou to sell herself, it is the best life. She happily followed Qian Zhuang to Xie Mansion, staring intently at Xie Wan's face, and quietly asked Qian Zhuang if this was a legendary fairy.

Xie Wan liked the two of them very much, and gave them the same clothes as Yuxue Yufang, and let them learn the rules from Yuxue.

Yufang was a little worried, Xing Zhu and Gu Xing came, which seemed to mean that she should be released. She is so reluctant to be let out, to go outside, where is she so comfortable and decent to follow Xie Wan's side? Even if you get married, you may not be able to marry any good family. So even if Xie Wan didn't agree with Xie Lang approaching her, she would have no regrets now.

She pleaded with Xie Wan hesitantly.

Xie Wan was actually reluctant to her, and said with a smile at the moment: "The house in Suozi Hutong is almost finished, and what is missing is an errand." Now you want me to let you go, and I won't let you go. ”

Yufang was overjoyed, and since then she has put her heart in her stomach, and she has been working more energetically than before.

Luo Sheng has already taken a fancy to a house with a small garden in Suozi Hutong, which is two streets away from Lizi Hutong, the location is close to Nanshi, and the neighborhood is a place where rich families gather, the location is good, but the price is a little higher, asking for 6,000 taels of silver. Xie Wan took Cheng Yuan to see it in person and bought it for five thousand taels of silver.

Now Luo Sheng is directing craftsmen to repair there, and at most in March and April next year, people will be able to live in.

Xie Wan didn't deliberately hide the matter of buying the house, but he didn't focus on it, and when Xie Qigong knew, it was already the end of the month. At this time, Xie Rong had been promoted to Hanlin Attendant without any surprise.

"What is your purpose in buying a house privately?" Xie Qigong asked.

Xie Wan smiled faintly: "My brother has worked very hard to go back and forth to the county school, and the third uncle has been promoted again and again, and more and more people have come to the house. The second room is now gradually opening business, and there are many people who often come and go, for fear of affecting the rest of the old lady, and for fear of colliding with the visitors, so I bought such a house and lived occasionally. Don't worry, sir, we won't cause trouble for Xie Fu. ”

I bought it, and it was useless for Xie Qigong to say it again. This is the private property of the second room, and it is also their own silver, and he has no right to intervene. Besides, because of Xie Rong's promotion, there are indeed more people who come to the door to make friends, and the people who come and go make people see jokes, which is really not good.

As long as they live in the house for a long time, they are not afraid. Besides, don't they often go to the Qi family to live on weekdays? Just let them go out and relax.

Xie Qigong doesn't say anything here, and it's even harder for the Wang family to say anything.

Xie Hong secretly went to see the house twice, and came back to tell her: "It was originally the house of the Xu family, a jeweler, but the Xu family went to Jingshi, and the house was empty." The ancestral home of the Xu family is Gusu, which is actually a small garden built, after the two gates is a small garden, each yard is uneven, white walls and gray tiles, green bamboo flower beds, very exquisite. ”

Wang's heart hurt by what he said.

"Five thousand taels of silver! Five thousand taels of silver was bought by her to buy an old house, and it was not that she had no place to live, so she wanted to show how much money she had? What a loser! Sooner or later, the second room will be defeated in her hands! ”

It's just that no matter how bad people are, it's not her money that loses, and her complaint is very ridiculous.

After a few months of consumption, Xie Qigong's attitude towards her has been better recently, and when he saw Xie Hong, he began to nod his head. Although he still doesn't talk and ignores him, it means that things will take a bigger turn for the better. So the Wang family stopped for a few months, and the heart that was insatiable began to stir again.

Xie Hong said: "The old man's body is getting worse and worse now, in case there is an accident that separates the family, then it will be troublesome!" The mother has to help her son quickly. ”

Wang Shi muttered: "Now that he has your brother, he is focused on how to help him become a big official, and in the past two years, he has become more and more crazy. You also saw what happened last time, as long as it touches on the reputation of the Xie family, he won't give me any affection. Those three girls are very treacherous, and they almost let her succeed last time, we can't miss again, and if we miss again, I can't help it. ”

Xie Hongcheng was terrified, and his heart became more and more uneasy, and even this year was a little less lively.

On the first day of the new year, he entered the ancestral hall and worshiped his ancestors, and sang a one-day play in the second house of the first year, and on the morning of the third day of the new year, Qi Song sent someone to pick up Xie Lang and Xie Wan as always.

In addition to bringing Yuxue this time, Xie Wan also brought Xing Zhu, Gu Xing and Qian Zhuang with him. And Xie Lang had Wu Xing and Yinzuo, so he drove another car and went to Nanyuan.

Although under normal circumstances, Xie Lang, who is a man, is unlikely to encounter any danger, and he always walks around Qinghe City all year round, and he is always followed by Wu Xingyin and the others, but now Xie Wan has Xing Zhu Gu Xing, so Qian Zhuang follows Xie Lang on weekdays, and will not follow her back unless she goes out.

When I arrived at Qi's house, it was indispensable to ask for warmth, and even more indispensable, taking advantage of the excitement of the New Year's Festival, a group of four people went to the street to stroll.

"I knew a good place to eat tea not long ago, so I'm waiting for you to come and go with me." After eating, Qi Ruzheng said with the Xie brothers and sisters with great interest. "That place is called Heyou Pavilion, just on the street opposite the south gate, it is opened by merchants from Anhui, each tea room in it is self-contained, imitating the style of Wei and Jin Dynasty layout, Wan Wan saw it, I must like it!"

Qi Ruxiu teased: "For this, my brother has been looking forward to the New Year for a long time." Because only when you come, Mother will give him more money. ”

Xie Lang and Xie Wanju both looked at Qi Ruzheng and laughed.

Qi Ruzheng poked his sister with his elbow, and then looked at Xie Wan and them shyly: "No way, mother has something to say to me first." ”

When Yu heard that they were going out to play, he really took the money out, but not for Qi Ruzheng, but for Qi Ruxiu. (To be continued.) )
