105 mansion
The twenty days after Wei Bin left, Xie Wan received a package from him.
In the bag is a long wooden box with paint, which contains the test questions of the four major imperial examinations in the past ten years, as well as the excellent craftsmanship recognized by the Ministry of Ceremonies and the Hanlin Academy, and even many comments from the elders of the imperial court. In addition, there is a letter from Wei Bin. Although he only talks a few words, he clearly appreciates Xie Wan and encourages Xie Lang.
After Xie Lang got these four books, he was so excited that he almost fainted!
This kind of thing has always been only collected in the provincial archive of Chinese books, and even the supervisors of Guozi Prison may not be lucky to get it. Although it is only a copy of the copy, what is the difference between Xie Lang and the original?
Wei Bin actually took such a treasure as a gift to thank Wan. No wonder Chen Shifeng said that he wanted her to pay attention to check it. If this falls into the hands of others, as long as he devotes himself to it for a few years, he won't get the opportunity to pass on the golden hall!
Xie Wan sighed very much. Unexpectedly, a small conspiracy sent by Xie Qi actually made the matter to the point of alarming the visit of the Counselor of the current dynasty. However, the final result was not that she had to watch Xie Rong rise, but that she not only won the battle for Wei Siam, but also got such a rare result. The treasure!
Xie Lang has devoted himself to academics. With this, how can he be able to fall?
Wei Bin is very open-minded about the situation of the second wife. He knows that only when Xie Lang has made achievements in his official career can his brother and sister really have the capital to compete with Xie Rong. He may not have interrogated with them, nor will he avoid Xie Rong from him from now on, but she got these four books for Xie Lang, even Rong is advancing and retreating, and she has no regrets.
The road of revenge is a difficult road. Others can only give opportunities and help. It is you who really lift your legs and take this road.
Xie Wan was of course very happy in addition to sighing. She immediately sent a letter of thanks to Wei Bin, but Wei Bin did not reply, as she expected. Before she gained a certain strength, before Xie Lang showed his talent and learning strength. It is impossible for Wei Bin to establish a long-term friendship with them.
But to her surprise, Mrs. Wei replied to her. Mrs. Wei's handwriting is very beautiful, and there is a faint fragrance of dragon saliva on the letter paper. The words in the letter are very polite and polite. She only wrote a sentence at the end. If she arrives in Beijing, she will go to the house to be a guest.
Xie Wan replied to another letter, and there was no reply from Wei's house. Xie Wan was also reaselated. Because in this way, it finally begins to become normal.
In the winter, Qian Zhuang's eldest brother in Cangzhou found two little girls who can do martial arts for Xie Wan, one named Xing Zhu, 14 years old. One is Gu Xing, twelve years old. Qian Zhuang's eldest brother is very careful. The two people he found are orphan girls who have lost their families.
Xing Zhu is a family martial arts. His father used to be a nursing home in Zhizhou, Cangzhou. Six years ago, Zhizhou was imprisoned for his crime. Xing's father also lost his business. When he went to run darts for people, he fought against more than a dozen thieves and bandits. He died in a foreign country and his bones were missing. Xing Zhu's mother took her still young son back to her mother's home with her. On the way, she was also coveted for money and materials and followed her to be murdered.
Xing Zhu was also stabbed a few times, but her life was not dead. But now there is a scar under her left ear, which seems to make her a little more cold. Xie Wan asked Yu Xue to comb Xing Zhu's long double bun to cover her scars. Xing Zhu, who had no scars, looked very beautiful. Xing Zhu smiled in the mirror, and then asked Yuxue to help her put all her hair in the back and combed back the original neat style.
She wants to look at this scar all the time. Remind yourself to be a jealous person.
Gu Xing has had no family since she was a child. Even she herself couldn't figure out how her family died. Since she can remember, she has lived in the land temple with her adoptive father and grew up with hundreds of family meals. Her adoptive father was originally a lay disciple of Shaolin, and he broke his precepts because of manslaughter. An arm was cut off by the master. Gu Xing's kung fu was taught by his adoptive father. Last year, his adoptive father also died, so he lived alone in the land temple.
When Qian Zhuang's eldest brother passed by, he met her and took her back to the darts bureau to sweep the yard.
Perhaps because of the long-term displacement, Gu Xing's heart is more cheerful than Xing Zhu's. For her, as long as she has food, clothes and clothes, and no one drags her to the brothel to sell her body, it is the best life. She happily went to Xie's house with Qian Zhuang, stared at Xie Wan's face, and whispered to Qian Zhuang if he was a legendary fairy.
Xie Wan liked them very much. He gave them the same clothes as Yuxue Yufang and asked them to follow Yuxue's rules.
Yufang was a little worried. Xing Zhu and Gu Xing came, which seemed to mean that she should be released. She is so unwilling to be released and go out. How can she be so comfortable and decent to follow Xie Wan? Even if you get married, you don't have to marry a good family. So even if Xie Wan doesn't agree with Xie Lang's approach to her, she has no regrets now.
She hesitated to plead with Xie Wan.
In fact, Xie Wan was reluctant to part with her. He smiled and said, "The house in the shuttle alley is almost finished, and what is missing is a man. Now that I want to let you go, I won't let you go.
Yufang was overjoyed. From then on, she put her heart in her stomach and worked more vigorously than before.
Luo Sheng has taken a fancy to a three-entry house with a small garden for her in the shuttle alley two blocks away from the plum alley. The location is close to Nanshi, and the nearby are all places where rich people gather. The location is good, but the price is a little higher, and it costs 6,000 taels of silver. Xie Wan took Cheng Yuan to see it in person and bought it for 5,000 taels of silver.
Now Luo Shengzheng is directing the craftsmen to repair it there, and he can live in at most in March and April next year.
Xie Wan did not deliberately hide the matter of buying a house, but he did not focus on it. By the time Xie Qigong knew it, it was the end of the twelfth lunar month. At this time, Xie Rong had been promoted to Hanlin's servant without any surprise.
"What's your intention to buy a house in private?" Xie Qigong asked as soon as he split his head.
Xie Wan smiled faintly and said, "My brother went to the county to study very hard. The third uncle has been promoted in a row, and he has come to the house more and more. Now the business of the second house is gradually opening up, and there are many people coming and going. For fear of affecting the rest of the master and wife, and for fear of bumping into visitors, they set up such a house to live occasionally. Don't worry, we won't cause trouble for Xie's house.
I bought it all, and Xie Qigong is useless. This is the private property of the second house, and they also use their own money. 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 shuttle back and forth to make people laugh, which is really bad.
As long as they stay in the house for a long time, they won't be afraid. Besides, don't they often go to the Qi family to live in the ordinary? Just think of it as being distracted.
If Xie Qigong doesn't say anything here, it's even more difficult for Wang to say anything.
Xie Hong sneaked to see the house twice and came back and told her, "It used to be the house of the jeweler Xu's family. The Xu family went to Beijing, and the house was empty. Gusu, the ancestral home of the Xu family, turned out to be a small garden built inside. After the second door, there was a small garden. Among the courtyards, there were white walls, gray tiles, and green bamboo flower gardens, which were very exquisite.
Wang's heart was hurt by what he said.
"Five thousand taels of silver! She bought an old house for 5,000 taels of silver. It's not that she has no place to live. Do you want to show how much money she has? What a loser! Sooner or later, the second wife will be defeated by her!"
It's just that no matter how prodigal she is, it's not her money, and her complaint seems very ridiculous.
After several months of time, Xie Qigong's attitude towards her has been better recently. When he sees Xie Hong, he will also begin to nod. Although it is still silent and unreasonable, it means that things will have a greater turnaround. So Wang Shi stopped for a few months, and the unfillable heart began to move again.
Xie Hong said, "The old man's body is getting worse and worse than before. In case there is an unexpected family, it will be troublesome then! The mother has to help her son quickly.
Wang Shi muttered, "Now that he has your brother, he is thinking about how to help him become a senior official, and he has become more and more angry in the past two years. You also saw what happened last time. As long as it touches on the reputation of the Xie family, he won't give it to me at all. The third girl is very treacherous. Last time, she almost made her succeed. We can't make any more mistakes. If we lose any more, I can't help it.
Xie Hongcheng was frightened, and his heart became more and more uneasy. Even this year was a little less lively.
On the first day of the lunar new year, he entered the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, and sang a one-day play in the second year of the lunar new year. On the morning of the third day of the lunar new year, Qi Song sent people to pick up Xie Lang and Xie Wan as usual.
In addition to Yuxue, Xie Wan also took Xing Zhu, Gu Xing and Qian Zhuang with him this time. Xie Lang had Wu Xing and Yin Zuo, so he drove another car and went to Nanyuan.
Although under normal circumstances, Xie Lang, as a man, is unlikely to encounter any danger, and he always walks around Qinghe City all year round. Wu Xing and Yinzuo always follow him, but now Xie Wan has Xing Zhu and Gu Xing, so Qian Zhuang usually follows Xie Lang, unless she goes out. Beside her.
When we arrived at Qi's house, all kinds of warmth were indispensable, and what's more, taking advantage of the excitement of the New Year's Day, a group of four people went to the street for a walk.
"I knew a good place to eat tea not long ago, and I was waiting for you to come and go together." After dinner, Qi Rucheng said with great interest to the Xie brothers and sisters. That place is called He You Hall. It is on the street opposite the south gate. It is opened by merchants from Anhui. Each tea room in it is self-contained, which is arranged in the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Wan Wan will definitely like it!"
Qi Ruxiu ridiculed: "For this, my brother has been looking forward to the New Year for a long time. Because only when you come will my mother give him more money.
Xie Lang and Xie Wan all looked at Qi Ru Zheng and smiled.
Qi Ruzhen poked his sister with his elbow and looked at Xie Wan and others shyly: "I can't help it. My mother has something to say to me first."
When Yu heard that they were going out to play, he really took out the money, but it was not for Qi Ru Zheng, but for Qi Ruxiu. RP
