Rebirth of Upside Down

Chapter 12 Chapter 12

Xie Jin took another sip of tea, and quietly listened to Liu Yixu's continuation.

"The person with Qian'er is a friend of Xu Shen's, and he provoked Qian'er under his instigation."

Xie Jin paused, cupped his hands and said: "Forgive me, it's just provoking, and the two of them agree in love, so it might be a good story."

"But that person already has a wife." Liu Yixu drank the cup of cold tea and said, "So Qianer can only be a concubine after she gets married. She is such a good woman, she shouldn't be given to others. Concubine."

Talking about this matter, Liu Yixu still felt ashamed, if it wasn't for him, Qian'er wouldn't be in this situation.

Xie Jin said: "So when you learn about this, you don't want to be with Xu Shen anymore, you won't be able to pass that test in your heart."

Liu Yixu nodded: "Yes, if this trip was not ordered by the prince, I would not follow."

"Brother Liu, let me advise you, don't get too entangled in the past, what you see may not be true." Xie Jin took out the wine bottle under the table, and took two new glasses to pour wine.Passed a cup to Liu Yixu: "As a human being, you can't be too serious about one thing, otherwise you will destroy yourself and harm others."

"I understand, but I can't do it, maybe this is my fate." Liu Yixu smiled wryly, and took a drink from his glass: "Brother Xie, would you like to take me in for a night?"

Xie Jin took a sip of his wine and said with a smile: "No, there are not enough rooms. Tremella sleeps in my room." There is only one room in total, and there are just ten people with Tremella, so there must be two people in one room.

Naturally, Bei Zhao would not sleep with others, but there would be a guard standing guard in his room, always on standby.

"You're still injured, so you can't drink." Liu Yixu glanced at him, stood up and said, "Since there is a girl living here, then I won't bother you and leave."

"Brother Liu, go slowly."

Xie Jin waited for him to go out, then turned around and took another sip of wine.In fact, he was envious of Liu Yixu, because so many people valued and cared about Liu Yixu.

As far as he is concerned, family affection is what he has been begging for all his life but has not yet obtained.But in this life, looking at Xie Wen's appearance, it seems that Xie Wen really treats him as a younger brother, but knowing people and faces but not heart, it is impossible to say for sure.

It's just that he knows that even if Xie Wen doesn't treat him as a brother, he won't hate Xie Wen. In fact, the two of them have the same disease and love each other, and both of them have been manipulated by Xie Zihan for a lifetime.Although they have different experiences, they are all involuntary, and were threatened by Xie Zihan with family affection.

"Young master, I heard what you said just now." Tremella looked at him in surprise and then with a half hidden delight: "Am I sleeping here tonight?"

Xie Jin smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise, would you want a little girl to sleep on a stone bench?"

Tremella blushed a little and said, "Don't call me a little girl, I'm already 16 years old."

Seeing her blushing, Xie Jin stopped teasing her: "Although you sleep here, men and women are different after all, we cannot sleep in the same bed."

"Where do I sleep then?"

"Ok?"

Realizing that the words were too straightforward, Yin Er hurriedly lowered his head and said: "The servant has already sold herself to the young master, so she is considered to belong to the young master, so there is no need to shy away from it."

She said the last four words in a very low voice.

Xie Jin secretly thought that something was wrong, it would be terrible if this girl really fell in love with him.He said: "Your deed of sale is with my master, so you are not mine, but after returning to the capital, I can get back the deed of sale for you."

"The young master wants to... drive away the slaves?"

"It's not a good job to be a servant girl. You look good, so you should be able to marry a good family." Xie Jin smiled warmly, as if the little girl in front of him was his younger sister who hadn't left the cabinet: "Isn't that good? ?"

Seemingly remembering something uncomfortable, Yin'er shook her head vigorously, then knelt down on her knees: "Yin'er doesn't want to leave, young master, you must want to climb high because of me, right? Or really like you, no matter you Whatever you think is fine, just don't drive me away."

"Get up, I never mean that. You will be more free after you go out. If you feel that you have no money, I can give you some, but not too much. I am also a poor man."

Bei Zhao never said that he would be paid a salary, nor did he give him anything, so all he had was the 1000 taels of silver brought from Xie's house.As for the salary of the Hanlin Academy, it was really pitifully small, barely enough to nourish his life.

If there is something urgent, you still have to count on the 1000 taels of silver.For example, one month later, Bei Zhao's birthday, then Xie Wen's birthday, the Queen Mother's birthday, and other miscellaneous matters for officials, as long as invitations were issued, he had to go.

"I don't want your money, I just beg you not to drive me away." Not only did Tremella not get up, but she even kowtowed a few times.

Xie Jin sighed: "Why don't you want to leave? I treat you well at this time, it's because I have no one else to use. When I return to the capital, do you think I won't think you are burdensome?"

"The servant can do anything, and won't cause trouble for the young master." Tremella looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Why is this?" Xie Jin felt a little headache, one or two of these were hard to figure out.

Yin Er said: "The reason why slaves sell themselves is because their family members are all dead, so they can't go back home after leaving. There is an unwritten custom among the people. You don't know. If slaves are thrown out like this, they will never go home again. If any family is willing to hire a slave, no one will dare to marry a slave, isn't this... isn't this going to force the slave to death?"

These words made Xie Jin speechless, this is not Tremella's contract of selling himself, it is clearly his shackles.

With a sigh, he pulled up the white fungus: "Don't cry, I'll keep you."

Unexpectedly, the bad habits of the people are so... weird.

At night, Xie Jin was injured and was the master, so he naturally slept on the bed.He asked Yin'er to move a low couch, because Yin'er is small in stature, although sleeping on the couch is not very comfortable, but it is barely doable.

The next day, Tremella helped him get up, and when Yun Su stepped in from the house, he happened to see him getting dressed.His eyes touched the quilt on the bed that had not yet been made in the future, and he couldn't help but take a step back, lowered his head and coughed: "Mr. Xie, please hurry up, everyone is waiting for you to have breakfast."

"I'll be fine soon, thank you." Xie Jin knew he had misunderstood, but he didn't explain.

After breakfast, all the people set off. There was only one carriage. Considering that Xie Jin was injured, Bei Zhao gave him half of it, and everyone else rode horses.

"Do you know what crime Xie Zihan committed?" Bei Zhao's voice was naturally magnetic, and when it was slightly lowered, it sounded very pleasant.

Xie Jin thought to himself: This voice is different from his own, not vicious.Verbally, he replied: "Please tell me, my lord."

Bei Zhaodao: "He buys and sells officials, and is even suspected of disclosing exam questions, all of which are serious crimes enough to exterminate the entire family."

Xie Jin pretended to be startled and said: "He, he is so bold, it seems that I have to run for my life, otherwise I will be implicated by him and beheaded?"

"That's your biological father, you don't want to save him?"

Xie Jin smiled and said: "I want to save him, but how can I save such a serious crime?"

From the moment he realized that Xie Zihan had been using him and restricting his freedom, he no longer regarded Xie Zihan as his father.
