Xie Qian was born in the 14th year of Zhengtong and is now fifty-two years old. Although he is only thirty years old, although he is not an absolute longevity, he has passed the year of knowing destiny and can be ready to enter the loess at any time.

In Xie Qian's own words, after fifty years old, every birthday is collected.

The dishes prepared by the Xie family were extremely rich. Mrs. Xu kept picking up dishes for her husband, but Xie Qian seemed a little impatient. After Chen Xi had served tea, Xie Qian nodded and asked Chen Xi about her age and family status with concern. When she heard that Chen Xi's great-grandfather had served as the fifth-ranked governor of the mansion, she said with emotion: "It turns out that the Shen family is also a prominent family in Tingzhou Prefecture."

What kind of prominent family is at most a dilapidated family! If it is a prominent family, why can’t you even have enough food or even afford to go to school? Chen Xi thought to himself, but said, “Before the student was born, the family had actually fallen.”

"But you have finally cultivated you. Isn't there an uncle above you who is familiar with the books of sages?" Xie Qian was not very satisfied with Chen Xi's answer.

Is my family a prominent family? What does it have to do with you? You are not looking down on students from poor families, right?

"My uncle has been taking the exam for many years and has not passed the imperial examination. However, there is a brother of a clan who took the exam for the autumn examination at 16 years old, but he is very sorry that he has not passed the imperial examination." Chen Xi also told the story of Shen Mingwen and Shen Yuan participating in this year's Fujian Provincial Examination but failing the exam.

Don’t you want to regard our Shen family as a "prominent family" in Tingzhou Prefecture? To be honest, the Shen family can be regarded as a scholarly family.

Xie Qian nodded with satisfaction: "This is very good, very good."

This made Chen Xi confused. Do you mean that my uncle and brother, who were of the same clan, didn’t pass the imperial examination and thought it was “very good”, or did I have so many scholars in my family?

Xie Qian did not say anything, but Mrs. Xu asked: "Can Mr. Shen's parents be in the high hall?"

Chen Xi replied respectfully: "My parents are in good health now, and the students have brought the two elders to the capital for support."

"I'm still a filial son, master." Mrs. Xu was so happy that she was about to turn around and say something to Xie Qian, but was interrupted by Xie Qian clearing his throat.

"Yeah, Chen Xi, what age are you going to pass the exam? Who is your mentor?" Xie Qian continued to ask.

Chen Xi felt more and more as if he was being interrogated, but there was no need to hide these things. When he participated in the imperial examination, his ancestors and teachers recorded them in detail, so he said: "The teacher of the enlightenment of Xia was Mr. Su from Ninghua County, and then moved to Changting, the capital city, to study under Mr. Feng. The student was eleven years old and passed by the list, ranking second in the college examination."

"Second place? Haha, who is the first place?" Xie Qian heard that Chen Xi was in the next seat when he was taking the test, so he couldn't help but grin and asked.

Chen Xi thought to himself, I really don’t have any pot to carry, I’ll be the second one, do you need to gloat so much? Do you want me to have a small three yuan besides?

"It is Wu Shengyu, the son of Tingzhou Prefecture. He passed the imperial examination with me and was listed as the Yayuan in Fujian Province. Now he is in the Imperial College for study." Chenxi Road.

"oh."

Xie Qian nodded, as if he was more interested in Wu Shengyu introduced by Chen Xi.

Mrs. Xu asked again: "Where are the brothers and sisters of Lord Shen?"

Out of courtesy, Chen Xi patiently explained again: "There are two brothers and sisters below, who are still young, and they live in the capital with their parents."

"That's good. My parents and parents are in the high hall, and there are brothers and sisters below. They live alone in the house of Yu Ci." Mrs. Xu said excitedly, but was glared by Xie Qian and dared not continue talking.

Chen Xi saw that although Xie Qian was blowing his beard and staring in front of Mrs. Xu, he was purely a paper tiger and seemed to be fierce to his wife. In fact, he respected Mrs. Xu very much. He would not say anything beating or ridiculed except glaring. In this way, Xie Qian was a good man.

Xie Qian said earnestly: "Chen Xi, what age did you marry a wife's wife?"

Chen Xi thought to himself, have you asked me for this question at the beginning? How many times did you ask me to answer? Or are you old and have a poor memory?

"The wife married at the age of twelve, the year is sixteen, and now the eldest son is less than one year old." Chen Xi told the truth.

Xie Qian sighed, "I have a granddaughter who is still in the boudoir. I want to find a good family for her, look."

Chen Xi then realized that the reason why Xie Qian and Mrs. Xu asked about his family background so clearly was actually to choose a husband for their granddaughter.

But Chen Xi never expected that Xie Qian was willing to marry Xie Hengnu to him even though he knew that he had married a wife and had a concubine. This was very different from Xie Qian's usual arrogant attitude.

Since Chen Xi knows what's going on, it's not easy to answer this question.

Mrs. Xu thought Chen Xi didn't understand, so she quickly said, "Jun'er is very compatible with Lord Shen. I wonder if Lord Shen is interested in her?"

When Xie Qian heard this, he glared at his wife fiercely, mainly because what his wife said hurt his self-esteem too much.

I hinted that Chen Xi was waiting for him to propose marriage to me, but now you have made it clear, as if my granddaughter, who was worried about marrying her, was forced to give it to him.

"Ms. Xie is very well-cultivated, moral and appearance, but I am afraid that the students have married their wife and cannot get up." Chen Xi blushed.

Xie Qian sneered, as if saying, "You boy knows that you can't get to the top!" He cleared his throat and said earnestly: "Jun'er's parents died early. We wanted to find a good family for her so that we would not treat her badly. But when the girl's family grew up, she had her own thoughts. As grandparents, we will respect her personal wishes and she has a certain good impression of you."

Chen Xi had long noticed that Xie Hengnu was obsessed with him. This daughter had never had contact with other men. When she saw him talented and learned, she would make girls happy. When she first fell in love, she put all her thoughts on him. This was not only his luck, but also a huge responsibility.

Chen Xi didn't dare to think too much, because he expected Xie Qian would not marry his granddaughter to him as a concubine. If he devoted too much love, he would only leave a shadow between himself and Xie Hengnu. Because of this, Chen Xi kept a three-point distance from Xie Hengnu, as if he were close and separated.

Chen Xi's face was full of embarrassment. He didn't know whether Xie Qian was sincere or deliberately tempted him.

"Marriage is a major event, and the matchmaker's words are ordered by the parents. The students may have to go back and ask their parents about their intentions." Chen Xi said carefully.

Xie Qian's anger suddenly came without a single point.

Okay, I whispered to marry my granddaughter to you, but you did this with me. You clearly want me to not be able to get out of Taiwan.

Xie Qian was about to get angry, but Mrs. Xu quickly pulled him and winked at him frequently. Xie Qian stood up, sat back and said, "Let's have dinner, let's talk about it if you have something to do."

Because of the sudden mention of Xie Hengnu's marriage, the atmosphere of the birthday party became a bit stagnant.

Chen Xi could only lower his head, and could not enjoy the food, and even the tea was not as good as it tasted.

Before the birthday party was over, Xie Qiandeng didn't even leave a word and went to the study. Mrs. Xu stood up and said, "Mr. Shen, you have gone back to discuss with Lingzun Lingtang earlier. Please welcome Jun'er, the girl, to the door at the same time. The girl is not young anymore. After the New Year, she is fifteen years old and is just right with Lord Shen."

If Xie Qian heard this, he might complain, but this is Mrs. Xu’s most sincere thought.

When his granddaughter is about to marry, his parents are gone, and grandmothers are more worried than anyone else. Especially Mrs. Xu looks at Chen Xi and feels more and more like it. Unfortunately, Chen Xi has already married a wife, but who says that the granddaughter likes it? With the family background of the Xie family, even if you pass by, you will not be treated unfairly.

Mrs. Xu retreated, Xie Di stood up and said goodbye to the house. When it was Chen Xi's turn to leave, she was kept by Xie Pi.

"Mr. Chen is hard to get a trip to the house. The students have many knowledges in the future. Although Xie Pi is preparing for the exam, the Xie family has no rigid requirements for him to take the exam this time, so he has more time to spend with his wife and has time to study the learning that he has put down before.

Chen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Young Master Xie, it's almost the end of the year, and I'm actually quite busy."

Xie Pi said seriously: "My father intends to betroth Jun'er to Mr. Chen, so Mr. Chen should say a few words to him. Before, Jun'er had a special liking for Mr. Chen and obstructed him, but he did not expect that he would be open now. Mr. Chen must not let Jun'er down on his affection and kindness."

Chen Xi is not easy to answer now.

Chen Xi cannot deny that he likes Xie Hengnu very much, but this kind of love has not yet been sublimated to the level of love, mainly because he has always suppressed himself and avoids having more "differences" about Xie Hengnu.

This time, Xie Qian suddenly mentioned his marriage with Xie Hengnu, which made him feel at a loss for a moment, and he didn't even know whether he could shoulder the responsibility of protecting Xie Hengnu.

Xie Pi said again: "Sir, let's go to see my father with me."

Xie Pi knew Xie Qian's personality. Xie Qian was sulking now, so he wanted Chen Xi to go over and finalize the marriage. In addition to letting Xie Qian get angry, Chen Xi would be a "family member" in the future. Then he would have no obstacles to ask Chen Xi for knowledge in the future and get along more harmoniously.

Xie Pi is an open-minded person. He respects Chen Xi, so he naturally feels that his little niece can marry a versatile talent like Chen Xi.

Under Xie Pi's guidance, Chen Xi came to the entrance of the study room and saw Xie Qian sighing in front of the dim candlelight.

When Xie Qian looked up and saw Chen Xi, he immediately changed into a smelly old face, pretended to sit upright, and lowered his head to review the memorials, as if he was reviewing them seriously, but in fact, Xie Qian was at a loss for these memorials.

"Don't disturb the meeting with my father." Xie Pi said that, he went to the inner courtyard with tactful thoughts.

Chen Xi entered the study and bowed: "Xie Ge Lao."

"You haven't left yet?"

Xie Qian raised his head and said in a disdainful tone.

"The student wants to come and say goodbye."

To be honest, Chen Xi did want to leave, but he also felt that since Xie Qian was willing to marry his granddaughter to him as a concubine, this just shows that Xie Qian is not the kind of person who is grateful and does not repay his kindness. He has used him many times and now he has married his granddaughter to him and has paid off all his debts. In the future, he became Xie Qian's grandson-in-law, which also facilitates him to do things for Xie Qian.

For someone like Chen Xi who pays attention to a confidante, this deal is really cost-effective!

If you help Xie Qian do something, you can get a innocent and spotless daughter like Xie Hengnu. Is there any cheaper thing in the world than this?

"I want to say goodbye? Just make it clear." Xie Qian said coldly, "But before that, I have a few memorials here, so I will ask you what you mean!"

: The emperor will set off for Chengdu tomorrow morning. When it settles down, it will gradually recover and explode. Thank you everyone! It will not be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.
