Xie Xiuwen is going to Beijing to take the exam, and as his teacher Xu Yuanqing must be able to help him.
Xu Yuanqing felt relieved when he learned that they were traveling to Beijing to accompany Zhao Yue. After some questioning, he asked him what he thought of Wang Jin.
With Wang Jin's talent and learning, he would have to put in more effort if he wanted to become a Jinshi, and his probability of becoming a Jinshi was much lower than Xie Xiuwen's.
"Brother Wang is a solid scholar, and students have read his articles, which are simple in style. Although not as gorgeous as Brother Fan's articles, it can be seen that he has extensive knowledge and quotes from classics. This is Brother Wang's strength."
Xu Yuanqing nodded, he also had hope for Wang Jin.
As for Fan Xing just mentioned, Xu Yuanqing felt that it was not feasible.
In the evening, Xie Xiuwen called Xie Zhou over.
"You have also been running around with me for several months, and your abilities have improved greatly. I intend to bring them, mother and son, and you will need to go back for this matter."
"Don't worry, uncle, my nephew will definitely take care of things."
"When you go back, give this letter to your cousin and she will arrange it."
"Yes, uncle."
Xie Rongzhao knew that he would soon leave Gaoyang County with his father, and he felt very reluctant to leave. He mainly missed his little bamboo horse.
Cheng Jingzhou took her walking on the street for more than half an hour, but he didn't see her show off her face, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"My dear, something happened at home?"
Xie Rongzhao shook his head: "Brother Jingzhou, I can't let you go."
Cheng Jingzhou felt relieved: "Is it because you are going to Fucheng?"
Xie Rongzhao nodded, and Cheng Jingzhou comforted him: "Fucheng is not far away. At worst, I will go to Fucheng often to see you."
Xie Rongzhao was determined to tell the truth, but he was worried that the news would be leaked and it would be even more troublesome if they were unable to go to the capital.
She wanted to leave the Xie family, mainly because she didn't want to live in fear every day. She was really afraid that she would be plotted by her eldest brother and grandma again.
No matter how smart she is and how lucky she is, she is still just a child. She has no advantage over adults in terms of strength or favor.
After Liu Ruolan met Xie Zhou and received her husband's letter, she began to make arrangements.
Fang Hu doesn't have many family members, so she only needs to arrange to go to Fucheng together. The difficult thing is what she should say to her parents.
Xie Zhou also brought a letter to Mr. Xie. Naturally, Xie Xiuwen stated that he would take his wife and children to meet someone in Fucheng, which would also be beneficial in the future.
Grandpa Xie was unhappy. For such a good thing, it would be most appropriate for his eldest son or grandson to accompany him. How could he let a wild child who had never seen the world show up?
But I can only think about this in my heart, but I can't say it out loud. After all, Xie Ronlang is also a child on the Xie family's ancestral tree.
In fact, when Xie Xiuwen arranged for Xie Zhou to return to his hometown, he expected that there would be twists and turns. Sure enough, Grandma Xie was the first to disagree.
Not only did he disagree, he even fell ill out of anger.
Now, not to mention Liu Ruolan leaving with her children, even Xie Xiuwen, who was studying in Fucheng, had to come back to attend to his illness.
Xie Xiuwen was not easy to be plotted. After arriving in Gaoyang County, he directly invited a doctor from the county to go home with him.
Xie A'nai's illness was originally a pretense, just to lure Xie Xiuwen back. Now when the doctor checked her pulse, she naturally pierced the window paper.
The doctor didn't say it too bluntly. He just said that the old lady was depressed and just needed to take care of her calmly. She didn't even need to prescribe medicine.
Now, Grandma Xie couldn’t pretend anymore.
Mrs. Gao looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak out to help her mother-in-law, but Grandma Xie sat up straight at this moment, pointed at the doctor's nose and cursed!
"Where did you hire a quack doctor? I'm already so sick, and yet you said I just need to calm down and be calm. Is this how you treat the doctor? Or are you the traitor who came here to humiliate me on purpose?"
The doctor didn't dare to stay longer, so he said goodbye, and Douzi chased him out, not forgetting to pay the doctor's fee.
Several people in the room looked unhappy. There is no doubt that you were so angry with your curses. Besides, you were too sick to get up. Who would believe it?
It was only at this time that Grandma Xie realized that she had been exposed, but she had always been thick-skinned, so what if she was exposed?
She is an elder, and children and grandchildren should respect her.
Xie Grandma thought so and lay back confidently, not forgetting to ask Mrs. Liu to serve her.
"Second daughter-in-law, I want to eat the meat porridge you made. Go and cook a bowl."
The corners of Liu Ruolan's mouth twitched slightly, and after looking at each other, she probably withdrew.
Grandpa Xie also looks bad. If he still does this at such an advanced age, wouldn’t he make the younger generation laugh at him?
"Okay, everyone has left, so stop pretending here. What do you want to do by making such a big fuss?"
Grandma Xie choked and cried for a moment, neither making a fuss nor making a fuss. She lay there in utter embarrassment, waiting for someone to come out and give her a break.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, Mrs. Gao was the only one who said dryly: "Dad, I just talked too much in one breath. Maybe I'm a little dizzy, so I want to take it slow."
"snort!"
Grandpa Xie waved his hands, obviously not convinced by such words.
Seeing that she couldn't fall down, Grandma Xie had no choice but to sit up again with Gao's help.
"Master, I didn't mean to make a fuss. I haven't been feeling well for a day or two now, and the problem of my second child having fallen off has never been cured. Don't you know better? I've seen so many doctors over the years, but I still haven't seen you. Okay, when did the doctor check the pulse and say nothing could be done instead of saying everything was fine, am I just pretending?"
Mentioning old things, Mr. Xie's face became slightly less angry, while Xie Xiuwen narrowed his eyes slightly. Everything was as he expected, it happened again.
Because it was difficult to give birth to him and it was in the deep mountains and old forests, Grandma Xie made excuses more than once for the physical harm caused by giving birth to him.
Whenever a critical moment comes, this is her powerful magic weapon.
When she wanted to continue studying, she used this as an excuse, saying that she couldn't live without medicine, her family's income was getting less and less, and she couldn't support him to continue studying.
Unexpectedly, now that he had fallen into Xie Yuan's trap, he would have to face his mother's tricks again.
"If you're not in good health, take good care of yourself. Whatever you do, be deliberately noisy!"
Grandpa Xie is not a fool. No matter how partial he is to having a long family, he still knows that the future of his second son is the most important thing and no one can stop him.
Grandma Xie wiped her tears and said: "Why did I do it on purpose! The second son is studying in Fucheng, what did I say? Now that he has won the imperial examination, it is also the glory of our old Xie family. But how did he get this fame? If Without the support of the boss and the third boss, would he have a chance to win the election?"
