Seeing Xie Yanzhi's refusal, he thought that he would have more connections after arriving in the capital, so he said: "If this thing is not used, it is just an ordinary accessory. Brother Xie Xianzhi, you can accept it! Lao Xu and I both believe in your You will definitely win the exam this time, and you will definitely go to Beijing to take the examination next year. When you get to the capital, if you encounter something that cannot be solved, you can use this jade pendant to ask for help. "
Xie Yanzhi will definitely not accept these things.
He had already planned what he was going to do, and when he heard this, he firmly refused: "Shao'an, thank you two brothers for your kindness, I don't need this thing."
Seeing that his attitude was very firm, Master Bai understood what he meant and said to Xu Chongguang: "In that case, Lao Xu, just put it away. This thing was given to you by the third prince. I think Brother Xie Xian must know it. Once you give it away, don't tell me what the third prince will think when he finds out. It's just that it's hard for my sister-in-law and several nephews to explain it, so I rejected it."
Xu Chongguang couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he saw Master Bai who was helping him persuade Xie Yanzhi to accept the jade pendant one moment, but after being rejected by Xie Yanzhi, the next moment he was talking about his children.
"No, Lao Bai, you have changed too quickly. Brother Xie Xian didn't even say this, how do you know what he thinks?"
Master Bai didn't care what Xu Chongguang would think, he just acted like I was thinking about you. After signaling to Xie Yanzhi, he pulled the person out and said seriously: "Old Xu, what are you asking? It’s too low-level.”
"Old Bai, don't think I can't hear it. You are calling me stupid..."
Master Bai directly interrupted his tirade, "Old Xu, you said it, but I didn't mean it! But what I said is the truth. Brother Xie Xian has such a flexible mind and a kind heart. After hearing what you said, The jade pendant was given to me by the third prince not long ago, how could he have the nerve to ask for it? Let’s go, thank Xiandi for your kindness, we just accept it and we will find an opportunity to repay you in the future.”
Master Bai said this in a loud voice. Xie Yanzhi looked at the two people walking away and could faintly hear Xu Chongguang's approval after being persuaded, so he shook his head with a chuckle.
Bai Yuyuan is indeed a talent. No wonder the Xu family agreed to let him stay with Xu Chongguang!
They just thought he was greedy for money, which was consistent with their goal of making money.
I'm afraid I never dreamed that not long after arriving in Liuyun County, I would persuade Xu Chongguang to be a good official, right?
However, if a person like him is admitted to Jinshi in the future and does not go astray, he can be regarded as a good official.

Just when Xie Yanzhi couldn't see anyone and was about to go back to the study, he saw Qingsha and Caiwei coming back holding hands out of the corner of his eye.
Behind them were the children of sisters Li Miao, Li Qingwei, and Li Lin and Li Shu.
"father!"
Seeing the person, Qingsha let go of her sister's hand and ran towards Xie Yanzhi quickly.
Xie Yanzhi took a few steps forward, bent down and picked up the little girl.
"Would you like to have fun at Grandpa's house?"
"happy!"
Qingsha wrapped her hands around Xie Yanzhi's neck, responded sweetly, and then looked at her sister.
"father!"
Caiwei called someone, then turned to look at Li Miao and others.
Li Miao was the eldest among the cousins. When he saw this, he said: "Uncle, my father said that the watermelons in the field can be sold when they are ripe. Do you want to keep them and give them away, or sell them to the Su family together?" Miss?"
Caiwei nodded and said, "Dad, after I came back from my uncle's house, I went to the Su Mansion to ask my master, and she said that our family should not sell it. My master said that our family should not be short of money right now. Wait After you win the lottery, you must invite your classmates and friends. This watermelon is now a prestigious thing, it is best to keep it for yourself or give it to others. "
Xie Yanzhi did not expect that several children would actually worry about watermelon.
I thought that Li Yuan would definitely have it, and there would be no shortage when the time comes.
But these children don't know, and they know that their mother/aunt/aunt sent the people from Lijia'ao to Luyang, so there is no way to plant them.
It would be strange if she could suddenly transform into a watermelon.
Thinking like this, he looked at Caiwei and asked, "Caiwei, you are in charge of our family now. Do you think we should sell it or keep it?"
Caiwei has always felt that her family is poor and short of money.
Although her master said that their family was not short of money, in her opinion it was.
Once her father wins the election, they will all go to the capital, and her mother also said she wants to buy a house.
So, how can there be no shortage?
Therefore, if she could change money, she would still want to change it.
It’s just that she thinks what her master said makes sense. Why don’t she just sell some and keep some when the time comes?
While thinking about this, she asked: "Dad, if you win the election, how many tables will we invite at our house? Also, how many friends will you make? This is what I think, our yard is big. I have grown a lot of watermelons, I want to leave some for you and sell the rest, okay?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you! My friends here can just treat me to dinner outside. I only have your mother's relatives and friends here, plus my father has a brother here who used to be in Liuyun County."
Caiwei knew who her mother's friends were here, including her master's family and Aunt Yan Jiao's family.
As for the relatives, they are the eldest grandfather and the third grandfather, plus at most some members of the Li clan who are taking care of other children here.
But when you calculate it this way, it seems to be quite a lot. Just for the eldest grandfather and third grandfather, plus those cousins, there will be almost two tables.
"Dad, your brother from Liuyun County, do they have many people in their family? Our family is having a treat. We all have watermelons at home, so it doesn't seem to matter whether we keep them or not."
"Jiang Anping and Su Jin, do you remember them? Jiang Anping and your uncle are good brothers, and they have a good relationship with your father. As for Su Jin, she used to be the eldest girl next to your master."
If Xie Yanzhi hadn't mentioned it, Caiwei would have forgotten that there was such a number one person.
She nodded suddenly, and then asked cautiously: "Dad, that Uncle Jiang, they didn't come to Fucheng with my Aunt Yan Jiao before, and my Aunt Yan Jiao didn't seem to have contacted them anymore, right? Let's invite them together when the time comes, okay? ?"
Xie Yanzhi reached out and touched the back of her head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, now your Aunt Yan Jiao's uncle's family and your Uncle Jiang Ping'an's family are doing business together, and the relationship is very good. But whether it's a banquet or how much watermelon you keep, Anyway, the prerequisite for all this is that your father and I must win the election first!"
Caiwei has full confidence in Xie Yanzhi. Her master and her family all say that her father is a very talented person. It would be strange if he failed in the provincial examination.
She also said that because of the book written by her father, she saved many, many people in Xinyang Mansion, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she is the great benefactor of Xinyang Mansion.
Her Grandpa Su even said that if the emperor was kind, he should give her father a reward!
Although she didn't quite understand some of the words, what she did understand was that everyone said her father would definitely win.
