Xie Xiuwen received two letters from home, one was written by Liu Ruolan and the other was written by Xie Ronghui.

Xie Xiuwen read his wife's letter first, and when he learned the details of how Bao Bao was almost abducted, he was naturally shocked into a cold sweat, which included Xie Laosan and other clansmen who helped find it for several hours.

Later, he opened Xie Ronghui's letter, although it did not say that everything was related to the long house, but it mentioned that Xie Rongrong had turned a cold eye to the abduction of the good baby, and even deliberately pointed out the wrong way later.

Just because of this, Xie Xiuwen wanted to go back and wipe Xie Rongrong's neck.

Wang Hanlin only learned about some things inside the Xie family after he arrived in the court, but he was an outsider and didn't say much, so when he mentioned the abduction of Ganbao to Xie Xiuwen, he focused on the Song family and Cheng Jingzhou.

This time, Xie Xiuwen read the letter, and only then did he realize the danger in it, and he saw through the coldness of people's hearts.

In addition to highlighting a few facts in Xie Ronghui's letter, he wrote a letter to apologize.

Xie Xiuwen's senses for this eldest nephew are a little complicated, after all, this is his own nephew, and among the younger generation, his reading talent is the highest.

Xie Ronghui only learned about this matter after the fact, and he couldn't blame him for being reasonable or reasonable.

Douzi came in lightly: "Childe, the person who came to deliver the letter is Liu Jiaerlang, I just arranged for him to have a full meal, but do you want to see him now?" ”

Xie Xiuwen thought it was just an ordinary messenger, but he didn't expect it to be his nephew.

"Invite him in."

Liu Erlang has eaten enough at this time, and he is also a little more energetic.

"Erlang, sit down."

Liu Erlang saluted, and then sat down.

"Erlang, tell me what happened to the abduction of the good baby."

Liu Erlang didn't hide it, and told the story 1510.

"In this matter, the master of the Cheng family also contributed, and a Liu Gongzi also went to Xie Jiazhuang on purpose. Uncle, in the final analysis, this matter is also calculated by others. My aunt was sick because of the good baby before, but now she is fine. ”

Xie Xiuwen nodded, and he also had correspondence with Cheng Jingzhou about the follow-up, so he naturally knew it in detail.

Cheng Jingzhou was even more disgusted with Xie Rongrong's actions at that time.

"Then Xie Rongrong can be regarded as being punished, I think she won't dare to bully my good baby easily in the future. Erlang has worked hard this time, and when he goes back, he will have to trouble your father and uncles to take care of them more. ”

"Uncle said this to the outside world, we will do our best."

"So you wait, just send the two letters back on my behalf."

"Okay."

In the evening, Xie Xiuwen noticed that there seemed to be more charcoal in the house.

Normally, beans don't add so much charcoal to him.

"What's going on today?"

Douzi said happily: "Childe doesn't know, Liu Erlang came over and brought us two bags of charcoal this time, they are all good, don't choke your nose, and can let you sleep well at night." ”

Xie Xiuwen still has to read books at night, and sometimes practice calligraphy, if it is too cold in this room, his hands will inevitably be frozen.

Xie Xiuwen glanced at the charcoal basin, and thought that his wife's letter stated that there was a lot of charcoal in the second room this year, and she should have sorted out some of it for Erlang to send it.

When the weather is cold, charcoal is expensive, firewood is cheap, and the beans sometimes go up the mountain to fetch some firewood by themselves, in addition to cooking on the fire, you can also keep yourself warm.

Since it was cold, Douzi moved to the kitchen to sleep.

They cook two meals a day and boil hot water at night, so it's not very cold in the house.

"Go back and rest, scoop a few ladies of water into the pot and boil two firewoods, so that it can be warmer."

"Got it, Childe."

Douzi always called him master at first, but one day Wang Jin said that he was not afraid of calling people old, so Douzi changed his name to Gongzi.

Not to mention, with such a title, Douzi himself feels that the son is more noble.

In addition to charcoal, Liu Ruolan also asked Erlang to bring two winter coats and two pairs of boots covered with cotton.

Xie Xiuwen thought that now his family would have an income, but he didn't know how much money he could get by the end of the year, and whether it would support him to go on a study tour after the beginning of spring next year.

Xie Xiuwen was thinking about going north.

Kyoto is in the north, and he also wants to know some of the concepts and habits of students in the north.

Xie Xiuwen thought about it, he could go to Yanzhou Mansion, which belonged to the north, but it was not particularly far north, at least there was not a foot of snow in winter.

You can reach Yanzhou by boat directly from Fucheng, and you can enter the boundary of Yanzhou in up to ten days along the way, and then transfer to a horse-drawn carriage to move forward, which can not only see the scenery along the way, but also better understand the people's livelihood and suffering.

The book is shallow.

Xie Xiuwen thought that the teacher had mentioned more than once that he hoped that they could walk around and see more, and Xie Xiuwen wanted to go to Yanzhou, also because of regional differences, and wanted to know what kind of farming could grow in the land there.

At the beginning of the lunar month, Mingshan Academy has already begun to prepare for the holiday.

Some students' hometowns are more than ten days away, so they have never returned to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Now that it's the New Year's Day, it's natural to go back to the family reunion.

After discussing with several directors and gentlemen, Xu Shanchang decided that the holiday could be held on the tenth day of the lunar month, and after the fifteenth day of the lunar month, no more students were allowed to stay here.

On the eighth day of the new year, Xie Xiuwen learned that Wang Jin would go to Yanzhou with them next year.

Xu Shanchang's two students are both officials in Yanzhou, and they will be given a letter of recommendation at that time, and when they arrive in Yanzhou, they can also get in touch with some officialdom things.

Xie Xiuwen was naturally very happy that Wang Jin could go with him, after all, except for Wang Jin, he was not very familiar with several other classmates.

Moreover, Xie Xiuwen noticed that the classmates mentioned earlier are all excellent achievers, and there is a great possibility of lifting them in the coming year.

This Wang Jin's name was only added recently, that is, the academy intends to vigorously cultivate Wang Jin?

Xie Xiuwen didn't judge this speculation, it was always in his favor.

And he thinks that he still has a vision for seeing people, Wang Jin's knowledge is solid, but his talent is average, and he is not diligent enough, so he has not been revealed.

But this person has a good character, if he is an official in the future, he will definitely be able to relieve the worries of the court and seek the well-being of the people.

Recruiting land, Xie Xiuwen's eyes flashed slightly.

Perhaps, this study tour is intended to test the conduct of several of them and some ways of doing things.

With this doubt, Xie Xiuwen finally went home with the beans.

Xie Xiuwen only left the academy on the fifteenth, there was no way, Xu Shanchang deliberately left him, and gave him a few days of teaching alone, and also left several assignments, so he didn't want to think about Ansheng this annual vacation.

What Xie Xiuwen didn't know was that he was full of joy thinking that he was about to reunite with his wife and daughter, but the wife at the head of the family was being ridiculed and threatened by the old lady.
