Chapter 160 Receiving distinguished guests and giving lectures
The three of them were chatting happily, but Xiao Huang Xu stopped. For a little kid over two years old, it was impossible to stay in the same place with adults for too long.
So he started crying loudly.
"Oh? You have forgotten the little guy!" Huang Zhong couldn't help but chuckle.
"It just so happens that there are two little kids in the academy, and they happen to have company." Xie Xin thought for a while and said.
"It seems I haven't heard about you, brother, are you having a baby?" Gongsun Sheng asked.
"Oh, he is talking about his two primary school students. He has established a master-disciple relationship since they were born. They are now more than three years old." Huang Zhong came more, so he naturally understood more.
"I see, my dear brother, are you too impatient?" Gongsun Sheng suddenly realized, and then teased Xie Xin.
"The two of them are very qualified talents. If I don't act faster, why won't I be able to help others?" Xie Xin said with a wry smile.
Then he ordered the maid who was accompanying him to bring out the two little kids.
Not long after, little Guo Jia and little Wei Yan came out wearing crotchless pants. When they saw Huang Xu, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, they immediately ran over with a shout.
Huang Xu saw his friends whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Unexpectedly, he remembered them and ran over with a smile.
The three of them quickly played together, and then under Guo's leadership, they returned to the back hall to play.
"Suddenly, I feel like you, my dear brother, are not interested in drinking." After meeting Mr. Guo, Gongsun Shengruo pointedly said to Xie Xin.
"I feel the same way. In fact, I felt the same way when I saw her for the first time." Huang Zhong laughed at the side.
But the person who really stole the fish had no choice but to smile and deal with it.
Not long after, new guests came to the school.
"My dear nephew, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!" Sima Hui greeted him with a smile.
Feng Chu Pang Tong was following him at the moment. Probably because of his appearance, he was a little inferior and shy.
Behind him, the two brothers Xun Shuang and Xun Cui, as well as the two brothers Xun Yu and Xun Chen, were also brought over. Only Xun You was not seen. Maybe because he was already on duty in Luoyang, so he wouldn't be able to ask for leave for a while?
"It's rare for three uncles to come here, and the humble house suddenly becomes brighter!" Xie Xin walked over with a smile.
"Haha, my nephew is so humble. This time I come to your place as a guest, and I hope my nephew will take care of me." Sima Hui said with a smile.
"Three of you are elders, how can you neglect me?" Xie Xin said with a smile.
Not long after, Gongsun Sheng also came out, and because of Li Ying's relationship, he also said hello to them.
After the three of them learned that the person in front of them was Li Ying's disciple, Gongsun Sheng, the governor of Liaoxi County, they also chatted with him for a few words. Then, under the leadership of Xie Xin, they found a few empty rooms in the student dormitory and settled them there.
.
After all, these three are elders, and with the families behind them, Xie Xin cannot ignore them.
Immortal cultivators have the open-mindedness of immortal cultivators, but if they want to have less trouble in the secular world, they must have a good relationship with these big families with a long history. In particular, Sima Hui and the Xun family are still relatively trustworthy allies so far.
.
The student dormitory is a bit cramped, but I have to say that because of the bonus, the comfort here is much higher than that of ordinary residences. After the group moved in, they were very satisfied. Especially since it is located in the academy, there is nothing to do.
You can also visit around.
"My dear nephew, where are you going over there?" After a while, Xun Shuang discovered the mountain gate on the top of the mountain.
"The residence of the academy teachers and their families there is not only placed at the top of the mountain to prevent students from making trouble, but a mountain gate is also set up to separate it from the school area." This excuse could have been mentioned casually in the thank you letter.
"Oh? I wonder if the imperial court is up there? I'll wait for my first time here, so I should go over and pay a visit." Sima Hui said fiercely.
When he said that, Xie Xin became embarrassed.
"Distinguished guests, am I the one you want to visit?" a voice came from behind everyone.
Several people turned around and saw that Xie's mother was slowly walking over with the support of Bian Linglong and Wang Rong.
Seeing Mother Xie's arrival, the three of them naturally came up to say hello, and then at Mother Xie's suggestion, they went to the reception room to drink tea and chat.
Because of this, Xie Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although his expression was slight, it still caught the eyes of Gongsun Sheng and Huang Zhong.
But even if they knew, they wouldn't say anything.
Huang Zhong knew about it early on, so there was nothing surprising about it.
Gongsun Sheng relied on Gongsun Du to know a little bit about it. More importantly, Gongsun Yan was sent to death many times but disappeared mysteriously, so he judged that the place was probably the residence of immortals.
In the end, Xie Xin worked hard for a day before Gongsun Sheng and others settled down and gathered together for a light meal.
The next day, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao followed Li Yong to the school.
Cao Cao and Xie Xin had done a lot of business, so they became relatively familiar with each other. Xie Xin had nothing to object to him coming uninvited, and directly arranged for him, Li Yong, and Li Bin to live in the student dormitory.
As for Yuan Shao, although they are not enemies, their relationship is not much better. So Xie Xin arranged for him to stay in Huang Dian Township on the pretext that the student dormitory was full. However, he arranged to stay in Huang Dian Township just to give Yuan family face.
The yard is quite spacious and bright.
"Teacher Xie, Yuan has something to say." Just when Xie Xin was about to leave, Yuan Shao stopped him.
"I wonder what matters at the beginning?" Xie Xin asked politely.
"The content of the transaction between mentor and Cao Cao, I wonder if I, Yuan, can also take part in it?" Yuan Shao did not hesitate and went straight to the topic.
"In one hand, I hand over the information, and in the other hand, I hand over the elixir." Xie Xin said calmly.
Yuan Shao smiled, took out three pieces of paper and handed them a letter of thanks, and said to him: "This is a map of three jade mines in Hebei. If there is no mistake, these three places are also the so-called high-grade jade veins.
However, there seems to be some special energy protecting these three mineral veins."
Then he took out five pieces of paper and handed them over, and continued: "These five places are the mine map of the so-called low-grade jade. One of them is guarded by a vicious beast. It is invulnerable. All three hundred members of the Yuan family were killed in its mouth."
"I have accepted these maps. If they are verified to be correct, I will deliver the elixirs to my house. But having said that, do you know the list of elixirs for the transaction?" Xie Xin solemnly took the map and raised his head to ask.
"Yuan knows something about Meng De." Yuan Shao smiled faintly.
Then he took out the last piece of paper and handed it a letter of thanks: "This is the list of pills that the Yuan family wants to redeem. If you think it is feasible, it is best. If it is not feasible, it is okay to delete some as appropriate."
When Xie opened the letter and took a look, he found that the amount of elixirs inside was much less than the standard with Cao Cao. This would be more cost-effective than trading with Cao Cao.
"It's all easy to talk about!" the other party said so politely, so Xie Xin naturally became more polite.
Later, when I received the father and son Li Yong and Li Bin, I got a piece of news.
Li Yong was dying, so Li Yong suggested that if Xie Xin was free, he should go to Luoyang to see him for the last time as soon as possible. Of course, Xie Xin would never refuse this.
Guests arrived one after another. Gongsun Sheng, Huang Zhong, and even several of Xie Xin's disciples also began to come forward to help receive the guests. Until the last guest arrived, the agreed time for the opening of the altar came.
On this day, Xie Xin put on his heavenly suit and stepped onto the podium under the spotlight.
Before starting the lecture, Xie Xin wanted to salute all the guests, mainly those who were senior to him.
"It's an honor for all of you distinguished guests to come from afar. I thought that I had only been studying for four years, but now I am doing my homework in front of all my ancestors. I am really ashamed." After the ceremony, he thanked the letter and said with a smile.
"There is no limit to learning, and those who have mastered it are the first. My nephew is far ahead of me in other fields, so we should listen to him with an open mind." Xun Shuang, as the oldest one, stepped forward to smooth things over.
With him taking the lead, others also followed suit.
After thanking Xin for being polite enough, he formally sat on the podium and began the first day of lectures.
