Chapter 138 Xie Xiuwen’s worries

In the evening, the whole family stayed in the village. Xie Rongzhao was in Xie Xiuwen's arms and refused to come down, pestering him to tell stories.

"Good boy, do you like your brother?"

"I like it. Brother Xiaolang is sensible and he listens to me."

Xie Xiuwen smiled, his sweet baby was really easy to satisfy.

"Dad, do we have enough money at home for you to go to Beijing to take the exam?"

Xie Xiuwen nodded: "That's enough. Your third uncle has given me more than half a year's profit, which is more than one hundred taels. Plus the two hundred taels sent by the county magistrate as a congratulatory gift, it is more than enough for us to go to Beijing."

.”

Xie Rongzhao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him: "Dad, do you mean us?"

Xie Xiuwen smiled and pinched her face: "Well, let's!"

Xie Rongzhao's eyes widened, and the light inside seemed to rush out of his eyes, directly surrounding this beautiful father.

"Dad, are you serious? Are our whole family going?"

Xie Xiuwen smiled and then motioned her to keep it secret.

"I haven't told your mother-in-law about this yet. You are the first to know. I'll keep it a secret for now. When the time comes, I will tell your mother-in-law that I know about it."

Xie Rongzhao thought that they had met several groups of people here today and asked many questions, and he already had guesses in his mind.

"Dad, you want to take us to the capital to settle down?"

Xie Xiuwen pulled her closer to his arms and said, "My dear, although our money is barely enough, we may have to save some more after we go to the capital. Dad doesn't have much money in his hands. The money in this village is

The profit is not expected to be much, and the shop won’t be able to make any more income until the end of the year.”

Xie Rongzhao clapped his hands and said: "Don't panic, Dad, my dear, you are rich."

Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows: "Where did you get the money?"

Neither Xie Rongzhao nor Cheng Jingzhou dared to mention the one thousand taels of silver notes in their letters. Later, because Xie Xiuwen had to take an exam, neither of them mentioned it. As time went by, they both forgot about it.

Of course, Cheng Jingzhou was told by Xie Rongzhao not to mention the money for fear of being plotted against.

"My uncle gave it to me last time I was in town."

Xie Rongzhao explained the matter in detail. Xie Xiuwen looked at his daughter in surprise. He got a thousand taels so casually?

Why does it feel so unreal?

Is he dreaming, or is Guobao dreaming about getting money?

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course. Uncle Zhao also gave me a jade pendant, but brother Jingzhou said you shouldn't take it with you casually. I'm too young now, so I put it away."

"Well, my dear baby is really my father's little lucky star. If you come to accompany my father in the provincial examination, my father will win Xie Yuan! This time my father will take you to take the national examination, hoping to get some of your good luck, and then

If dad is on the list, your hard work as a mother and daughter will not be in vain."

"Hehe, I just said that I am a lucky girl. With me here, dad will definitely be able to go to high school."

"Having said that, dear baby, did you feel unwell when dad took the exam?"

Xie Rongzhao blinked and shook his head in confusion: "No."

"So since you last saw Dad in Fucheng, have you ever felt a headache or uncomfortable in any way?"

Xie Rongzhao shook his head again: "Dad, what's wrong with you? If I were feeling unwell, I would definitely tell you! And I'm in your arms now. I'm fine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Rongzhao realized something, his face tensed up and his eyes became hot.

She understands.

Dad was worried that her good luck would come back to bite her, so she kept asking her about her health.

"Dad, I'm fine, I'm fine. My good fortune will not bring bad luck."

Xie Xiuwen hugged his daughter tightly and said nothing.

If it happens once or twice, it can be said to be a coincidence.

But it happened several times in a row, and Xie Xiuwen had to think more.

Although the sage said: "The son does not talk about the strange gods and chaotic powers, but if this kind of thing happened to his own daughter, he had to be worried."

The main reason I wanted to take them to Beijing this time was because I heard that there was an eminent monk in the Huguo Temple in the capital. If I could get some advice from him, I might be able to benefit Guabao a lot and put him at ease completely.

"My dear, if you are feeling unwell, you must tell my father. My father is now a master of civil education. Even if he fails to win the Jinshi, no one in Gaoyang County will dare to look down on us anymore. My father only hopes

I hope you can grow up well and safely without any disasters. Do you understand?"

Xie Rongzhao nodded heavily: "Yes, I understand."

Xie Xiuwen indeed values ​​power, but no matter how much he values ​​it, it cannot be at the expense of his daughter's health.

If he fails this time, he can try again in a few years.

If something happens to the sweet baby, he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life!

The next day, Xie Xiuwen specially called Fang Hu's family over. After asking some questions, Fang Hu was left alone.

"If nothing else happens, I will go to the capital with my family in about twenty days. You are familiar with the capital. There are two hundred taels of silver notes here. In addition to your own expenses on the road, after arriving in the capital, you want to

The best way is to rent a secluded but safe courtyard, preferably with two entrances. If the host asks, just say that you will rent it for one year first. If you don't have enough money, you can pay less first and make up for it after I arrive in Beijing.

together."

Fang Hu took the banknote and said, "Sir, I have lived in the capital for three years. If I rent a yard in an outer city, one hundred taels would be enough to live there for a year. There will definitely be some money left."

Xie Xiuwen smiled gently: "If there is anything left, you can buy some necessary things first, and then I will bring your family to Beijing together, so that you will not be separated from your flesh and blood."

"Yes, thank you sir."

"You must keep this matter secret and must not make it public. Even your wife must not reveal a word."

"Young man understands."

Xie Xiuwen returned to Mingshan Academy and was extremely busy for half a month. On average, he couldn't even sleep for three hours a day. Every time he opened his eyes, he had to read.

Xie Zhou saw that his uncle, who had already won the imperial examination, was still working so hard. He admired him in his heart and secretly made up his mind not to slack off in the future. He must study hard and strive to earn a name for his family.

Xie Xiuwen met Zhao Yue again here. After confirming the date of entering Beijing, he had to find a way to go back and bring his family over.

Xie Xiuwen knew the old mother very well. If he directly said that he wanted to take them to the capital, the old lady would definitely obstruct him in every possible way, and would even try his best to coax the money out of their hands.

Naturally, we have to think of a foolproof plan for how to bring people here.

He can not only make his family suspicious, but also do it reasonably, so as not to be blamed by them for his mistakes in the future.

"Uncle, the boy next to Mr. Xu just came over to send a message, saying that Mr. Xu and Chief Xu asked you to come over and discuss important matters."
