He Xichao ordered Xia He to sort out a package, which contained some clothes and money, and brought a few books, and went to Xie's mansion.

This time he sent Ah Fu back.

Knocking on the door of Xie's mansion, He Xichao asked with a smile: "Mr. Ge, would you like to see someone?"

The concierge naturally didn't agree, but before closing the door, He Xichao asked again: "If Mr. Ge is not free, I wonder if your second young master can see you?"

The concierge pondered for a while, wondering: "I'm afraid it's not good, Young Master He, I told you that I can't let you in."

There was no anger on He Xichao's face, on the contrary, he said with understanding: "It's nothing, I don't make things difficult for you, but please also pass this letter to the second young master of your mansion. This is the solution to the problem he asked me eagerly before. he."

Speaking of which, he stuffed a purse and said with a smile on his face: "It's just a letter to your second young master. There must be no rules, right?"

The concierge took it after thinking about it, and said with a smile: "Since the second young master wants this letter, don't worry, young master He, the younger one will naturally be handed over to him."

"Thank you." He Xichao didn't bother, turned and left.

The concierge looked at his leaving back, turned around, entered the door and closed it, and then ran inside.

He Xichao walked a few steps, turned back, and waited.

Less than half an hour later, the door opened, Xie Er came out in a hurry, looked left and right at the gate, and saw He Xichao was raising his hand to greet him.

Xie Er frowned, walked up to He Xichao and asked, "What did you and the third child do to make grandfather so angry?"

"Didn't the old man tell you?"

Xie Er shook his head.

He Xichao said: "So sorry Xichao can't tell Second Brother Xie, but it's all my fault anyway, I can only try to make the old man happy, and ask Second Brother Xie to be flexible and bring me in."

Xie Er didn't agree, just said: "Grandfather doesn't see you."

He Xichao's smile remained unchanged, "Second Brother Xie, don't worry, I will stay in Xie's mansion for a day when Mr. Ge doesn't see me. Sincerely, gold and stone can be opened, and I can always ask for his understanding."

As he spoke, he pointed to the bundle placed in the corner, not ashamed of his shamelessness.

Xie Er was taken aback for a moment, he came prepared, "You want to live in Xie's mansion?"

"Yeah, the Duke's Mansion is far away from here, it's too troublesome to go back and forth, I think I can only bother you at the mansion for a few more days." Speaking of this, he weakened his voice and asked with a little pity , "I don't eat much, just give me a small bed, even a bed on the floor, it won't take up much space, okay?" He Xichao looked at Xie Er hopefully, with strong longing in his eyes, Coupled with that innocent face, people really can't bear to refuse.

Xie Er's heart softened, and he was about to agree, but he hesitated after thinking about his grandfather's order, "Then I'll go and tell my grandfather, if he doesn't object..."

"Second Brother Xie, tell Elder Ge, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to talk to you next time." He Xichao reminded.

Xie Er is not a fool, "Xi Chao, then I dare not take you in hastily, otherwise, I will be kicked out like San'er, and I will be unlucky."

He Xichao looked at Xie Er, and suddenly smiled, "Second brother, there is a very important method in arithmetic called function, which can solve many problems in your study that cannot be solved by actual calculation. The letter just now is the simplest one. Zhong, I wonder if you are interested?"

Xie Er: "..."

"By the way, the method of equations and functions that you have always wanted to learn can be solved in conjunction with each other. It is not even in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"! It's just that you won't be able to learn it in a day and a half. If it takes ten and a half months, you can probably do it." Something has been accomplished..."

This brat, Xie Er suddenly felt his brother's feeling of depression and vomiting blood.

He Xi's smile deepened in his eyes, hiding a touch of cunning, Xie Er came out in a hurry, obviously eager to know this method, he was not afraid that Xie Er would disagree.

Xie Er was conflicted in his heart. He glanced at He Xichao several times, and finally asked with a trace of discouragement: "What happened to you and grandfather? He is not a vexatious person. If you do something excessive, wouldn't it be unfilial for me to bring you in?" ?”

He Xichao said: "It was too much, and it hurt the old man's heart, so I came here anxiously to plead guilty. But Brother Xie, I can assure you that I did not commit crimes or violate morality. You just need to bring me in, Next, whether Mr. Xie Ge is willing to forgive me, that is my own business, don't worry, I will not mess around. I sincerely worship the master, and naturally respect the master."

Although Xie Ge didn't say it clearly before, Xie Er still knew about his love for He Xichao.

Hearing this, he no longer hesitated, and brought He Xichao into Xie's mansion, the concierge wanted to stop him, but the second young master brought people in, so he couldn't say much.

"Grandpa was so angry that lunch was useless today, he locked himself in the study and didn't come out, what do you want to do?" Xie Er led him all the way back to his yard.

A trace of guilt flashed in He Xichao's eyes when he heard this, and he said, "Old people have to eat. Do you have a pen and paper? I'll try it."

Xie Ge was always practicing calligraphy in the study to clear his heart, and finally the wave after wave of inviting him to dinner stopped, so that he could be quiet for a while.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the room, Xie Ge said without even lifting his eyelids: "How many times have I told you that this old man has no appetite, he will eat when he is hungry, so hurry up and leave."

There was a pause outside the door, and he didn't leave or knock on the door. Instead, he pushed lightly, and stuffed a folded piece of paper through the crack of the door. It fell to the ground with a "click", and then there was no sound.

Xie Ge paused his practiced hands, his eyes fell on the note lying on the ground, his brows were slightly frowned, and he asked, "Siyuan, Sigui?"

There was no conversation outside.

Xie Ge didn't want to pay attention to that card at first, but it was really an eyesore, so he walked over to pick it up with a calm face, and opened it.

"My family's teacher personally said: The student heard that you don't think about food and drink, and you are sulking in the study alone. I feel very worried. The depression lingers, and if the qi is easy to accumulate in the heart, it will cause illness. The student waits outside the door, and I implore you to punish me. The second is to eliminate the anger and resentment in your heart and relax your mind. The students cherish the court and respect you."

Seeing the familiar handwriting, Mr. Xie Ge narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure waiting quietly at the door. He really wanted to yell who put this brat in?

However, when the words reached the corner of his mouth, he swallowed them back again, didn't he answer him after questioning him?

He snorted coldly, turned his head back to his desk, picked up the pen and continued to write big characters, turned the paper over and put it aside, expressing his unmoved.

He Xichao is a very ghostly person, if he wants to sneak into Xie's house, he can always find a way with his mouth, the porter can't stop him.

But after entering Xie's mansion, do you think he will meet you?Think beautifully!

Mr. Xie Ge sneered in his heart while writing big characters, but what was written in the note, Mr. Xie Ge paused, his eyes glanced over, and couldn't help turning the note over again to see the address on it... …

teacher?

Heh, now I know I'm called a teacher, didn't I refuse to worship before?Why is he so dignified to thank Mr. Ge that he can worship if he wants to?

How can there be such a good thing!Veteran Xie Ge flipped the note back and pressed it on the table, and continued to lift the pen to write seriously, but his ears could not help but listen to the direction of the door.

There were no footsteps at the door. He glanced at it, but the figure was gone.

Xie Gelao's expression suddenly turned cold, as if covered by a layer of black clouds.

He cursed in his heart: Sure enough, he is an impatient brat!

Looking at the slightly distorted handwriting, he sighed deeply, feeling that his good self-cultivation had been completely ruined today.

But at this time, the door was pushed again, and then a piece of paper fell in through the gap.

Xie Ge looked at the shadow rising from the door, only to realize that the brat didn't leave, but was short and didn't know what he was doing.

He stared at the paper, wondering whether to go over and pick it up.

In the end, he hesitated and walked to the door, bent down to pick up the piece of paper, but when he opened it, it was a simple drawing, and the ink was still fresh.

He Xichao is a pragmatic person, he is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Li Yuechan taught him a little bit when he was a child.On the contrary, the calligraphy in it has been worked hard, but it is a Guange style specially practiced for the imperial examination, and it has no special features.He is just a layman, he doesn't know how to do anything romantic, and he is justified in a vulgar way.

Of course, this painting cannot be seen. Xie Ge studied for a long time before he realized that the two firewood sticks are composed of two people. One seems to be kowtowing, and the other looks up with his hands behind his back. It is an analogy between the person outside the door and the person inside the door. ... He was a little speechless.

By the way, there are four words below the painting: kowtow to plead guilty.

See, quite self-aware.

Old Xie Ge shook his head and sighed, still not wanting to talk to He Xichao, so he silently took the painting and turned it over and placed it on the previous note.

The setting sun cast a shadow at the door, and Mr. Xie Ge could clearly see that the figure at the door dwarfed, presumably writing and drawing again.

He Xichao didn't draw very well, but his speed was quite fast. After a while, the shadow grew longer, the door of the study was pushed, and a piece of paper was stuffed in again. This time it didn't fall on the ground, but was held up and waited inside head to fetch.

Xie Ge was staring at the paper on the crack of the door, not wanting to take it, but scratching it in his heart.

He got up to pour a cup of tea, only to find that the water in the pot was already cold, and no one came in all afternoon, even those who came to deliver tea were thrown out by him.

The piece of paper was still hanging in the air, and He Xichao held it patiently, as if he wouldn't stop until Mr. Xie Ge came to pick it up.

After a long while, when Xie Ge was feeling sore for He Xichao, a weak voice came from the door, "Teacher, my hands are sore..."

Who told you to lift it, put it down!Xie Ge said angrily in his heart.

"Teacher, I was wrong..." The voice was still pitiful, and Mr. Xie Ge could imagine He Xichao's dejected look at the door with his head down.

"Teacher, just take a look. The students are young and energetic, and they hurt your heart. If you want to beat and scold, the students are happy. But ignoring me makes people feel worse than Ling Chi. What's more, if you don't eat, then How can the body bear it? The cabinet ministers have exhausted their energy and energy, but they still have to be angry at my waywardness. The students are really ashamed to think about it. You taught me and taught me without reservation. It is not my grandfather who is better than my grandfather. Relying on your love to act recklessly, it really deserves death. I shouldn't have the cheek to come in and beg to see you, but out of greed, Xi Chao really doesn't want to lose you. Teacher, please take a look, please, give the student one more time Give me a chance, let me kowtow to you, admit my mistakes, and serve you with filial piety..."

The cat-like chattering voice came in, and Xie Ge's heart softened when he heard it.

In fact, Mr. Xie Ge didn't blame him for that memorial anymore, he was in the palace, and he was in the position of accompanying reader, and he didn't plan how to fight for the prince.

With He Xichao's strategy and courage, it is not difficult to disturb the wind and rain, but it is not easy for him to lead the prince to the right truth.

Elder Xie Ge was so angry today, but because he didn't have the attitude of sincerely apologizing, and didn't pay attention to this elder who had been secretly teaching him for six years.

Now this kid spent all his time running into Xie's house to coax him, and Xie Ge's temper gradually faded away.

"Teacher, I really can't hold it..."

The paper under the door trembled, showing that it had reached its limit.

Elder Xie Ge let out a long sigh, walked over and took it, opened it, but it was a recipe?

"Please ask the teacher to give you a face and order a dish, and Xi Chao will make it for you immediately."

Naturally, there are no delicacies in the recipes, they are all home-cooked dishes, which is the limit that He Xichao can think of, but Mr. Xie Ge is still quite surprised, "You can also cook?"

Yo, the old man talked to him at last.

He Xichao cheered up, and immediately replied: "Yes, but I'm not good at learning, and I can't compare to your cook, and I can only cook noodles. I wonder if your old man would like to give me some face?" He thought for a while and added, " You can add a poached egg, which is lighter and easier to digest.”

Seeing that there was no words in it, he asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"

Whose young master can handle the spoon by himself, Mr. Xie Ge's heart softened when he heard it, since he was given a step, let's go down.

He said softly: "Go."

"Okay, just wait a moment, it will be ready in a while." The happy voice outside was full of joy, and Xie Ge couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

He cleared his cough, walked around to the back of the table, put the three pieces of paper into a drawer, then picked up the pen, and continued to write large characters. At this moment, most of the depression in his heart was relieved, and the words became smooth.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, Xie Ge raised his head in surprise, so fast?

But I heard a servant's voice, "Grandfather, Young Master He said that the tea in your cup must be cold, and asked the little one to change it for you. Would you please open the door?"

Mr. Xie Ge felt a little joy in his heart, but he still went to open the door with a calm face.

The servants didn't dare to talk too much, they changed the teapot and made a new one, and took out a stack of snacks, "Grandfather, you should pad your stomach first."

He Xichao was so considerate and thoughtful that people couldn't stand it.

He Xichao was very thankful that he had interviewed Xiao Hong many times, and he had mastered all the skills in his previous life.

The cook looked at He Xichao's skillful rolling of poached eggs in amazement, admiring her and feeling a little bit of pity in her heart.

"Aunt Huang, can Xichao learn cooking from you in the future?" He Xichao asked in his spare time.

"Young master wants to learn this from your servant? This is not good, you are a nobleman, how can you let you do such a lowly thing?"

He Xichao said with a smile: "What's the bottom line? Food is the most important thing for the people. I want to cook for the teacher myself, and ask my aunt to teach me."

"Ah, the young master is really filial. The grandfather has a light taste and prefers vegetarian food. If you want to learn, the servant will naturally teach you."

He Xichao kept it in his heart, thanked him, got up the pot, put poached eggs on top, and put them in the food box.

He Xichao's noodles are naturally different from Xiao Hong's, although they are simple, they are delicious in color and fragrance, golden poached eggs, emerald green vegetable leaves, and a little sesame oil, no matter how hungry Xie Ge looks, he looks appetizing.

"Teacher, try it. If you like it, the students will make it for you every day." Handing the chopsticks to Mr. Xie Ge, He Xichao looked at him with his head full of anticipation.

Mr. Xie Ge picked up the noodles and took a bite, surprise showing on his face.

"How is it, is it delicious?"

"It's okay."

"That's delicious." He Xichao's eyes were bent with joy, and the joy almost overflowed from his body, "I have already agreed with the kitchen lady, I will learn all your favorite dishes from her, and I will change them later. I will do the trick for you."

Xie Ge glared at him when he heard the words, "Be a good cook, don't you want to read?"

"The two don't conflict."

"So you're going to stay at Xie's house?"

"Aren't you welcome?" He Xichao looked at Elder Xie Ge in surprise, "I brought all my clothes and books here, anyway, the eldest prince is not in the study room anymore, the students are very free, and they just happen to serve you for a while!"

Xie Ge couldn't laugh or cry and said: "There is no need to bother so much, it is enough for you to have this kind of heart."

He Xichao shook his head and said sincerely: "Don't worry, it's a student's honor that you are willing to let me serve you! I used to be an accompanist, even if I wanted to, I didn't have time, but now I just follow you to learn how to behave in the world. There are so many people in Lixue in front of your house, if you let the word go out, everyone must be willing to saddle up for you, so I still took advantage of it, so please don't drive me away, teacher."

The boy's eyes were clear, and the expectations from the heart infected the pretendingly calm old Xie Ge, who couldn't help smiling, and the unhappiness disappeared immediately.

Mr. Xie Ge sighed while eating the noodles, thinking that this kid is really amazing, he is determined to please someone, and no one can resist him.

At the end of the meal, he put down his chopsticks, wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said: "Although Xiu Ning handed over the booklet, you can't hide it from the emperor."

He glanced at He Xichao, but the latter didn't seem surprised, just smiled and said: "I didn't intend to hide it, this is a good thing, the eldest prince and the emperor have a tacit understanding, and when the eldest prince is in charge in the future, the emperor will escort him."

Xie Ge listened thoughtfully.

He Xichao smiled, cleaned up the dishes, and didn't say much.

The author has something to say: Yao: Do ​​you dare to do anything other than face?

He Xichao: I knew this in my previous life, but I'm actually better at cooking instant noodles.
