Xie Qing and Xie Fang came to the villa for three days in a row, and their purpose was very clear. They wanted to catch up with the two young masters from Weixinhou Mansion and Dingguo Duke Mansion.
It's a pity that Wang Yanqing can't see the two brothers and sisters at all, and as soon as Xie Fang gets close to him, Wang Yanqing will take the initiative to avoid him, euphemistically saying: There is a difference between men and women.
Xie Fang was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Damn the difference between men and women!
If you really pay attention to etiquette so much, then who is having barbecue with Xie Rongzhao that night?
Of course, this cannot be said directly. In any case, it is still Xie Rongzhao's territory.
Xie Ronlang was a protective person. He saw Xie Fang being disrespectful to his sister several times. How could he suppress the anger in his heart?
Xie Ronlang has always been unruly in his actions. Unlike Xie Ronghui, he had experienced ups and downs since he was a child. In addition, he often played with Zhao Heng and Wang Yanqing in the capital, so he naturally had his own set of rules.
Xie Ronlang explained a few words to Fang Ping next to him. When the Xie Qing brothers and sisters left the next afternoon, the carriage broke down halfway. Not only that, but something happened to the inn where they stayed, and everyone got up in the middle of the night to say It's the county government that wants to search for the thief.
After all this going on, Xie Qing and Xie Fang naturally couldn't get a good rest. They woke up late the next day. If they rushed over now, Xie Rongzhao and others might be having lunch, which would be inappropriate. However, if they waited until later in the afternoon, they would feel The time we spent together was too short.
While hesitating, Xie Qing's servant came over with a pale face to report that the money they were carrying was stolen. After paying off the money in the store, there was not much money left, so it would be best to return to the capital as soon as possible.
Xie Qing was so angry that he threw things and kicked people, but he still couldn't change the outcome.
The loss of money is not too much. After all, the siblings are still half-grown children, and their mother will not carry a large amount of money with them if she waits for them.
If they stayed in Feng County because of this, it would really be a waste rather than gain, and it would make outsiders think that their family was in dire straits.
After some venting, Xie Qing and Xie Fang finally listened to their servants and returned to Beijing.
Xie Ronlang had already sent people there to keep an eye on their whereabouts, to make sure they left, and returned happily to ask for rewards.
Xie Ronlang was also generous. He rewarded the boy with dozens of copper coins and a roast chicken, and then went to find his sister to be a good boy with great interest.
Although Xie Rongzhao felt happy in his heart, he still scolded him with a tigerish face.
"You are also a scholar. Dad is still counting on you to become an official in high school in the future. Such despicable behavior will not happen again in the future."
"Yes, sister, my brother has remembered."
"Well, was this done cleanly? Did you leave any tail behind?"
"Sister, don't worry. It's not a big money in the first place, and I only asked them to take action to drive people away. If I'm not worried, then I will return the money later?"
Is this human talk?
Are you rushing to tell people that you are a thief?
Xie Rongzhao rolled his eyes at him: "Okay, don't do it again in the future. I'll hide it for you this time. If there is a next time, let's see how dad punishes you!"
"Yes, yes, thank you sister for protecting me."
Although Xie Qing and Xie Fang have left, there are not many days left for them to stay in the villa. Even if Xie Xiuwen agrees, Zhao Yue and Ding Guogong will not agree.
You are at the age to make progress, and you cannot lose your ambition by playing with things.
After staying for another two days, the group had to return to Beijing.
Of course, before leaving, they still made a special trip to the county town. Xie Rongzhao went to say goodbye to his eldest brother and told him to remember to stay at the villa for two days during his break, and also to go back to the capital to see her.
I have to say that Xie Rongzhao's attitude still makes Xie Ronghui feel very safe.
Now that he has been selected as a scholar and studied under County Magistrate Chen, he knows that pursuing an official career is not easy.
Let's not talk about how much money it will cost, just talk about the connections. If no one supports or recommends him, even if he becomes a Jinshi in the future, I am afraid that a seventh-grade county magistrate will make him a lifetime.
One can imagine how difficult it was for my father to reach this point.
Nowadays, the official position of the fifth rank does not sound high, but he has only been in the official position for a few years, and he has won the trust of His Majesty. His future future is immeasurable.
Xie Ronghui deeply feels that being able to receive the guidance of such a father is a blessing that he has cultivated over several lifetimes.
Xie Ronghui was in a state of panic all day long because of some of the things his biological parents had done. Later, his father gave him guidance on his studies in letters, and the correspondence lasted for several years, which made him deeply aware of his father's noble character.
Now that this sister is very dependent on him, Xie Ronghui feels that even if he is just a scholar in this life, he has no regrets.
As soon as Xie Rongzhao returned home, Wang Zizhen smiled and brought a letter over: "I sent it yesterday. I was originally thinking about sending someone to deliver it to you, but I didn't expect you to come back today."
Xie Rongzhao's eyes lit up: "But a letter from brother Jingzhou?"
"It's from Mingshan Academy. It can't be wrong. It's not just a letter, but also a package. But it's at Madam's place. Miss, please go over after reading the letter."
Xie Rongzhao read it in twos and twos, then freshened up a little and went to pay his respects to his mother. Of course, the main thing was to take the gift that brother Jingzhou had given her.
"Auntie, I'm back!"
Liu Ruolan had known she would come back, and just now she was making a bet with Gu, wondering how long it would take for this girl to come and get her things.
Xie Rongzhao had no habit of covering up in front of his mother. After coaxing and saying a few auspicious words, he left her asking for things.
"I knew that's why you came here. Let your mother Gu bring it to you. But you should tell me first, what's going on at the Xie family in the outer city?"
"Ah?" Xie Rongzhao was stunned: "Are you talking about Xie Qing and Xie Fang?"
Liu Ruolan nodded, and the smile on her face faded a bit: "I heard that they encountered difficulties in Feng County. I also heard that they played with you for how many days?"
"Well, I did go there several times in a row."
Liu Ruolan's face became solemn now: "If that's the case, then why don't you lend a helping hand?"
Xie Rongzhao was confused by the question, and then realized that the Xie Qing brothers and sisters must have been talking nonsense again.
"Auntie, they first came to the villa to play with me, and then suddenly one day they stopped coming and didn't say hello. I didn't know what happened. I asked Song Erlang to go to the town to ask around, and then I learned about them. Their money was stolen, but they never complained to the authorities themselves, and they never asked me for help, so why are they still blaming me?"
Seeing that her expression didn't look fake, Liu Ruolan immediately understood the twists and turns.
"This Xie Fang deliberately speaks unclearly, which makes people think that our Xie family are cold-blooded and ruthless people."
How could Xie Rongzhao still not know that Xie Fang was messing around again?
"Auntie, you don't know, why are they looking for me to play? They are obviously going for Brother Yanqing and A Heng. They haven't even said a few words to me for three days!"
