While listening to them, Xie Yanzhi looked at his chin with one hand, looking thoughtful.
After they finished speaking, they heard him say with a righteous expression: "Junzi, if the Xu family sends someone here in the name of the third prince, you can accept it without hesitation."
Chen Wu already knew from his brother-in-law what kind of existence Brother Xie was now. Hearing this, he looked at him in astonishment.
Li Jun was confused. Even though his heart was full of doubts, he didn't say a word.
Only Chen Miaomiao and his wife looked understanding.
Xie Yanzhi seemed to see Li Jun and Chen Wu's confusion, so he continued: "I will write a letter later, Junzi, take it. When the servants of the Xu family deliver it, read it in front of the steward who sent it. Just the content.”
Li Jun finally couldn't help being curious and asked: "Brother-in-law, can I know how you plan to deal with it?"
Xie Yanzhi said with a smile in his eyes: "I have no relatives, Yuan Niang's relatives are mine, and we people in Lijia'ao are still running tea gardens in Lanxia City. Grandpa and grandma are old, and as juniors, they should be filial. Since those servants gave them to me, I should use them to be filial to my grandma."
"After they went to Lijia'ao, they farmed when they needed to, opened up wasteland when they needed to, and washed their hands and made soup when they needed to. If not, they could help wash clothes. Anyway, there is a shortage of manpower there, right?"
Li Jun reacted, his eyes widened after hearing this, and then he laughed with relief.
"Well, we still lack manpower! But if this happens, the Xu family and the third prince may vomit blood, and they can't accuse you of anything, brother-in-law."
Isn’t sending a servant a gift just to serve someone?
His brother-in-law is filial to his elders, and it is not wrong to let these servants serve their elders.
Speaking of Potian, no one can accuse him of brother-in-law Xie!
After hearing what Chen Wu understood, he said directly: "Brother Xie, there are always so many people coming to your house. If everyone knows that you are short of servants, will they follow suit? In this way, every family will send gifts. You When they come, they will all be sent to Lijia'ao. Wouldn't it mean that the tea garden will be opened up faster?"
Xie Yanzhi really didn't have this idea. The servants who could be sent to him were either beautiful girls or smart, perceptive and loyal servants.
It would be enough for the people sent by Xu Mansion to be sent to Lijia'ao. If people from other mansions were added, there would only be trouble.
Even if Brother Cao is there to suppress him, it won't matter. After all, these people represent the forces of all parties!
Chen Miaomiao and his wife knew the balance of power involved, and when they heard Chen Wu's words, they pulled him away.
"Xiao Wu, don't make bad ideas. This is a critical time for you to thank Brother. During this time, you stay at home and don't go anywhere. Over at the escort agency, I will go and inform you."
Because of his wife's relationship with Li Yuan and his brother-in-law's relationship with Xie Yanzhi and Li Jun, Miao Lisang now has the favor of Shangfeng Jiming.
He believed that he and Xie Yanzhi were in the same boat.
When facing his brother-in-law, who was not that smart, he would break down many things and tell him them.
So at this moment, Chen Wu also knew what his sister meant.
"good!"
Anyway, it would only be a matter of a few months. When his brother Xie wins the Jinshi, no, he wins the first prize, everything will be easy to say.
How lucky was he, Chen Wu, to be able to be brothers with the number one scholar?
This is a critical moment for Brother Xie. As a good brother, he must not hold back!
From this day until the day before the examination, Xie Yanzhi lived in Miao's house.
During this period, Ji Ming, Meng Peng, Chen Hao and Miao Lisheng informed about the dynamics of the court and the candidates from all over the country who came to take the exam.
I don’t know if it’s because the Xu Mansion sent a servant to the Xie family before, but Xie Yanzhi turned around and sent him to Lijia’ao in Lanxia City. After the Lantern Festival, the number of people watching outside the Xie family began to gradually decrease.
It was not until February, when those who were interested looked at Xie Yanzhi, Li Yuan and their two children who had not appeared for a long time that the people who were following them disappeared completely.
Li Yuan and her two children came back the day before Xie Yanzhi's exam.
When she came back, she also chose a city that she could successfully enter before the city gates closed.
Because it was cold and late, she found not many people there when she came back.
Wang Can, who knew the exact time she would be back, stood under the verandah waiting with Grandma Ou and Aunt Han, who had invited her for help, with a belly as big as a watermelon.
When she saw the person, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister, my brother-in-law will enter the venue at the beginning of tomorrow. I guess they won't be able to sleep tonight. You can go directly there now."
Li Yuan nodded: "Well, I will send Caiwei and Shasha back and will go right away. Canniang, Junzi has to go with me tonight. I don't know when I will come back. You should pay more attention."
With that said, she looked at Caiwei again: "Caiwei, do you still remember what your mother said to you?"
Caiwei nodded obediently: "I know, mother, don't worry, I will take good care of my aunt, and I will also take good care of Shasha."
Li Yuan waved to her, Qing Sha, Wang Can and others, and left in a hurry with Li Jun without looking back.
Caiwei stood next to Wang Can, facing the people who were leaving. She thought for a moment and made a trumpet shape with her hands and shouted: "Mom, it's cold today. Please remember to bring the footwear I made for my father."
Li Yuan did not look back, but waved upward with one hand to express her understanding.
