The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

The dim light at night made Xie Lin seem to be shrouded in mist, making it difficult for people to see the expression on his face and to tell whether he was happy or angry.

He just politely replied, "Thank you, Eunuch Yu, for making the trip. You've worked hard."

Wang Shan stepped forward and stuffed a silver ingot into Eunuch Yu's hand, saying that he was inviting him to have tea. Eunuch Yu took the silver and left.

Hongqi came forward to greet Xie Lin.

She was wearing an apricot gauze dress, with just the right number of pearl hairpins in her hair, and her words and actions were refined.

Xie Lin said: "Wangshan, take good care of Miss Hongqi."

Seeing Xie Lin turning around to leave, Hong Qi followed him in small steps: "Third Master, do you want to rest? Hong Qi will wait for you to rest."

Xie Lin paused for a moment and said, "First, get familiar with the Xie Mansion for a few days."

Wangshan placed Hongqi in Qingranju, which was the courtyard closest to where Xie Lin was.

After Wang Shan finished his work, he came to report to Xie Lin, "Ms. Hongqi is very satisfied with the distance between Qingran Residence and Qiyun Pavilion. I also found that Miss Hongqi's steps are light. If she is not very good at dancing, then her martial arts skills are amazing."

Xie Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Go and ask Cheng Ji to come to your house as a guest tomorrow morning."

To the outside world, Cheng Ji came from another place. After meeting Xie Lin in Shengjing City, the two became good friends.

But in fact, Cheng Ji is Xie Lin's subordinate and works for him.

The next morning, when it was just light, Hong Qi dressed up and went to Qiyunxuan to ask to see Xie Lin, saying that she would help him get up and change his clothes.

Wang Shan came to greet her and said, "There are distinguished guests in the mansion. The Third Master has already left and is now playing chess with the guests in the inner room. Since you are here, please go in and make tea for the Third Master and the guests. Is that okay?"

"It's Hongqi's honor." Hongqi went there happily.

Previously, she was worried that Third Master Xie would reject her and keep her at a distance, but now it seems that this is not the case. Not only did Xie Lin place her in Qingranju, which is closest to Qiyunxuan, but he also did not refuse her and offered to make tea and serve her nearby.

I think her face and dressing style are very pleasing to Mr. Xie San.

Hong Qi collected her thoughts and went in, concentrating on making tea for Xie Lin and the young man named Cheng Ji.

Master Chengji is very handsome, especially his pair of peach blossom eyes, which are so charming and captivating, and he seems to be full of affection when looking at people.

But Hongqi felt that when he and the third master of the Xie family were in the same picture, he was still slightly inferior.

"Brother Xie, you actually have a beautiful woman serving you now, but are you tempted by worldly desires?" Cheng Ji said with a smile, shaking his fan.

Xie Lin looked at the chessboard and did not respond.

Cheng Ji looked at Hong Qi and said, "You are the first girl to serve Mr. Xie San. You are indeed very beautiful."

Then he said to Xie Lin: "Even I was moved when I saw it!"

Xie Lin said calmly: "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"How can a gentleman take away what others like? What's more, you and I are like brothers!" Cheng Ji refused with a smile, but his eyes kept looking at Hong Qi.

After a game of chess, Xie Lin said he was tired, so Cheng Ji stood up and said goodbye.

Hongqi wanted to stay and serve him personally, but Wangshan said, "The Third Master is not used to being served by others. Please wait patiently for a while until the Third Master gets used to it."

Hongqi also knew that she shouldn't be too radical, otherwise it would backfire, so she followed Wangshan's advice and turned around and left Qiyunxuan.

But when she turned the corner, she felt someone patted her shoulder. She turned around and found it was Cheng Ji.

"Master Cheng hasn't left yet?"

Cheng Ji said, "I am a frequent visitor to the Xie Mansion and I know it very well. Would you like me to take you to get familiar with the courtyard of the Xie Mansion? It will be convenient for you to serve the Third Master in the future!"

"Thank you, Master Cheng, but this is inappropriate. I am the Third Master's man and should keep my distance from you. Please forgive me."

Cheng Ji had an expression of sudden enlightenment, and immediately bowed to apologize: "I was inconsiderate and offended the young lady, please forgive me."

"It's okay. This is because Master Cheng and the Third Master have a deep brotherly love." Hong Qi also bowed, turned and left.

In Qiyun Pavilion, Xie Lin held a book in his hand and said calmly, "She has calluses on her fingers and is very agile. She is a martial artist."

Wang Shan asked, "Mr. Xie, why did you send a woman who knows martial arts to be with the Third Master?"

Xie Lin's eyes were deep, as if there was a layer of ice inside.

The last time, Concubine Xie wanted to burn his face, but failed.

Last time his mother poisoned him, hoping to make him lie in bed for a long time and become a living dead, but it failed.

This time, Concubine Xie suddenly sent a beauty over, who was also skilled in martial arts. Xie Lin had no choice but to kill her.

The first time he appeared before the emperor, he attracted so many subsequent actions from Concubine Xie; and the last time he entered the palace to ask for an audience, Concubine Xie and the people behind her must have been even more anxious and wanted to silence him.

Send a beautiful woman to be his pillow killer. If he is interested in Hongqi, it might be easy to succeed.

It seemed that he had to speed up his meeting with the emperor.

It is difficult for merchants to fight against power. Although some members of the Xie family serve as officials, they are stationed outside the Shengjing city and are unable to protect the family.

Since the death of his father and eldest brother, there has been a talent gap in the Xie family. Once upon a time, the Xie family was not only a merchant family, but also a family protected by the powerful.

Xie Lin said, "Tell Cheng Ji that starting from tomorrow, he will be a guest at Xie's house every day. Let him show great interest in Hong Qi."

Wangshan should be it.

Wangshan went to Chengji's residence on the pretext of delivering a book and told him about this matter. On the way back to Xie's house, Wangshan suddenly remembered that his master had asked someone from Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion to deliver a letter to the palace.

So he took a detour to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to inquire about the situation for his master.

The housekeeper of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion said, "The fourth young master has gone to the military camp and has not been home for a long time. Our young lady is meeting a distinguished guest. If you want to see her, I will go and inform you right away."

Wang Shan held Uncle Fu and said, "I wonder which distinguished guest Miss Heyi is meeting? Would it be too much of a bother for me to meet her now?"

Uncle Fu felt that he was disturbing him and he didn't want Wangshan to meet Chu Heyi at this time.

Then he told Wangshan: "The royal family owed our Zhenbei Marquisate a marriage, but Runxue snatched it away. The emperor felt very sorry, so he pointed out a good man for our young lady. Now he is visiting the garden with our young lady and they are getting to know each other."

Chu Heyi will be sixteen years old on her birthday this year, and she has not yet found a husband. Uncle Fu is worried about her, so he privately does not want Yuanshan to ask for a meeting at this time.

Wangshan was also good at observing people's expressions. "If that's the case, there's no need to report it. I don't have anything important to do."

He got on the carriage, returned to Xie's house, and went to report to Xie Lin.

"Third Master, there is no need to wait for news from the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion. General Wen Ce is busy with military affairs, and Miss Heyi is busy looking for her future husband. They have no time to help you!" Wangshan was angry.

"Miss Heyi has come to our house several times, and she always shows deep affection for you, Third Master. Maybe she is the same with other men! We should not trust such a woman so easily!"

He added, "She was willing to sacrifice herself for you before because you, Third Master, were so handsome. If she met another handsome man, she would react in the same way."

Wangshan felt that a woman who could get along well with his third master when they met for the first time could also get along well with other men.

Some people are enthusiastic towards you not because you deserve her enthusiasm, but because she is an enthusiastic person herself.

Xie Lin's eyes were filled with coldness, and he shouted, "Shut up!"
