Since Xie Baotian became the clan leader, Xie Yushu simply stayed one more day and made up dozens of common words for Xie Baotian, Xie Baoshu and Xie Tianlin.
They are all the names of the Xie family members and the words used on the land deeds to ensure that Xie Baotian will not be blinded when he encounters these things.
In order to help them quickly remember these words, Xie Yushu took great pains to write the words first with an eyebrow pencil. In case they would forget them in two days, those who could draw pictures would draw a picture under the words, such as a cow, with a calf head underneath. For stone, draw a stone egg underneath, for field, draw a field, for tree, draw a tree, and for courage, draw a murderous strongman.
By the time Xie Yushu and the others left, everyone in the family could understand a hundred words together.
Before leaving, Xie Yushu left another fifty taels of silver for them to buy a donkey and a cart, and the rest was for the family to learn from.
Since the clan leader was now Xie Baotian, Xie Yushu kept the imperial edict at home to show off the clan's appearance, and took away the other rewards along with it.
The matter in Xiejia Village came to an end, and the group set off back to Jinyang.
When they arrived in Jinyang, Liu Qiang and Xie Tianqi returned to the Yamen as errands. Thinking that Liu Qiang had done a lot to deal with the killers sent by Chu Mingzhu in the past few days, they gave him a piece of cloth rewarded by the emperor before leaving. Do thank you.
Back at the villa, Chu Jinyu finally met Xiao Haitang, the sister he had longed for. The two siblings had a cordial conversation, and Xiao Haitang took Chu Jinyu to visit the villa.
Chu Jinyu, who was under Xiao Yi's control, had never run all over the mountain to play. Seeing that Xiao Haitang wanted to drag him to play, Chu Jinyu looked at Xie Yushu hesitantly.
Sneaking here from the capital was already his biggest act of solitude, but now he instinctively turned into a good baby when he came to Xie Yushu's side.
Xie Yushu said
"You are a little man now, you don't need to ask adults for instructions on everything!
As long as you don't go to dangerous places and hurt yourself, go ahead and play boldly!
Do you know where the dangerous place is? "
Xie Yushu asked the two little ones again.
The siblings shook their heads.
"If you don't know how to swim, then any place with water will be dangerous for you. If you don't know the road, then places with many forked roads will also be dangerous for you. If you can't recognize bad people, just a kidnapper on the street can do it." Kidnap you.
All in all, anything that you cannot handle with your current abilities is dangerous, so now you can only play in places you are familiar with, you know?
If you want to take risks, wait until you grow up and have the ability to go, you know? "
"I understand, we will play in the villa and won't sneak out."
The two little ones seemed to understand, but they roughly knew that Xie Yushu was worried about their safety and would not let them run away, so they agreed and ran out to play.
Xie Yushu doesn't care whether they can understand or not. Many times, people learn what they hear and don't understand it at the time, but they will gradually understand it later. There is always a process.
After the two little ones left, Qu Xiaodie went to the back mountain training camp, while Nan Xing went to Aunt Su to report what happened in Xiejia Village, especially the killer.
She felt that this Chu Mingzhu would definitely have to confront her again in the future, and she had to find Aunt Su to study how to deal with this crazy woman to prepare for future troubles.
Xie Yushu's meaning is that when soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, soil will cover them up. As long as she is strong, it doesn't matter what she does openly or secretly.
But speaking of it, this time in Xiejia Village, she won a good battle without her taking any action. She had to thank Han Zhongyu. A title was much more advanced than her taking action against Xie Dafu and the others. It directly established the status of Xie Baotian's family in Xiejia Village. , this is the difference between official action and private action.
Han Zhongyu quietly helped me with such a big help. I must thank him no matter how much I say.
While Xie Yushu was laying out the things the emperor had rewarded, she was thinking about what to express her gratitude to. She didn't lack these things, and they were probably extremely precious to Xie Baotian and the others. They were just ordinary objects. After thinking about it, she decided to treat him to a meal. The meal is ready.
After making up her mind, Xie Yushu gathered her things and rested for two days, thinking that Han Zhongyu and Mu Xiu would take Nan Xing to Han Zhongyu's mansion that day.
This was the first time Xie Yushu visited Han Zhongyu's house. In the past, she had always met him at the government office.
She was still a little worried about whether the concierge would recognize her and whether he could let her in. However, after telling her name, the doorman ran in to report the news. When the concierge heard the commotion, he came directly to show Xie Yushu the way, smiling all the way. Hehehe introduced the layout and scenery of the mansion to Xie Yushu.
Xie Yushu was really shocked. Are all the guests in Han Zhongyu's house so warm? By the way, you exposed your master's secrets the first time you came to the door. Is this really good?
Before Xie Yushu could think too much, Han Zhongyu had already received the notice and came out.
"Why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were coming? I'll have someone pick you up! Or let Lan Ting send a message!"
"Why go to all this trouble! Lan Ting is still busy training me. Anyway, I have nothing to do so I just came over to see you. Thank you by the way!"
"oh?"
Han Zhongyu looked at Xie Yushu's empty hands and asked deliberately
"How can I thank you?"
“I’ll treat you to a meal!
Anyway, since you have a rest today, I’ll treat you to a restaurant! "
"So insincere! I rushed over immediately after receiving the imperial edict to make you look good!"
Han Zhongyu was not satisfied.
"Ah? Then what do you want? Aren't you a good and honest official! I thought it would be nice to treat you to a meal!"
"I'm tired of eating at the restaurant. Why don't you cook me one or two side dishes yourself? Speaking of which, I haven't tasted authentic northern cuisine since I came here to take up the post!"
"It's easy to say. Don't say twice, twenty dishes are enough. I'll let you taste them all today!"
Xie Yushu thought it was a difficult request, but when she heard it was just two side dishes, she immediately patted her chest to express her insignificance!
Han Zhongyu's little idea worked, and he didn't dare to ask for too much. He bluntly said that it was still early, so he took Xie Yushu to the living room to sit down first.
Xie Yushu didn't refuse. It was indeed early, so she followed Han Zhongyu into the living room.
Han Zhongyu's mansion is quiet and elegant. In addition to a few green pines and a few strong red plum trees in the yard, there is an artificial lake not far away. The lake has been covered with thick ice, but there are no fish in sight.
The living room is even more concise and elegant. There is a plum blossom hanging on the wall of the main hall, which looks like a newly painted courtyard scene.
Below is an Eight Immortals table with a mahogany carved chair on each side.
On the side is a shelf with some artworks that Xie Yushu cannot understand.
Han Zhongyu saw Xie Yushu looking at them and introduced them one by one.
"This is a crystal stone feather tube. I won it in a bet with Shiba. This is an amber butterfly. This thing is said to be tens of thousands of years old and is very precious!"
Xie Yushu also opened her eyes. She had only heard of this thing before but had never seen it before. She said while looking at it
"Well, not only is it time, but the formation of amber is also very coincidental. It should happen that the rosin drips, wraps the insects, and forms under a certain pressure and heat. It is indeed a rare thing!"
