happy rebirth

A few days after Ke Qi's birthday, it was Xiu Mu, Xie Jinhua went back to Xie's mansion, and explained in detail about Mu Lao's plan to accept him as a disciple.

In fact, Xie Chunying already knew all these things clearly, but when Xie Jinhua talked about it, he acted like he had never participated in it from the beginning to the end.He even said to Xie Jinhua rather sternly: "Don't be complacent because of this, you still need to work hard in the future."

Xie Jinhua accepted the instruction humbly.

When they returned to the mansion this time, Xie San was not in the mansion.It is said that since the last time he went out to send Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi to the academy, he never returned to the mansion, and instead lived in Wencaoyuan.For this reason, Xie San deliberately found an excuse, saying that he wanted to study behind closed doors in the garden.

Xie Houye and Xie Da saw that Xie San didn't cause trouble and let him go, but Zhang always believed in his son blindly.She thinks that Wencao Garden is a treasure land of geomantic omen, did she get admitted to Qiulin Academy without seeing Ke Qi living in Wencao Garden?Her son can't be worse than Ke Qi from a small family, right?

Therefore, Xie San lived a very carefree life these days.

"Honestly speaking, I don't think the third brother will stay in Wencao Garden obediently. He must have gone out to play." Xie Jinhua said.

Ke Qi thought so too.He didn't really regard Xie's mansion as his permanent residence in the future, so he didn't study many things in the mansion. It wasn't until he realized that he and Xie Jinhua were really married that he gradually developed the habit of observing Xie's mansion and thinking more about it. habit.

In Ke Qi's view, the Xie Mansion's talent allocation in Xie Jinhua's generation is very scientific.

Needless to say, Mr. Xie, the future head of the family has absolute authority in the family, and is also steady in the officialdom. The resources of the whole government are tilted towards him. At the same time, he will also be the pillar of the Xie family for the next few decades.Xie Er is the head of the family's logistics. He is in charge of the family's property, shops, and family affairs. Once he is trained, he will be Xie Da's perfect backing.Xie San is a communicative talent, who said playboys are useless?Unknowingly, he gathered some incense for Xie's mansion.And Xie Jinhua was able to make the Xie Mansion famous in the Qingliu.

This kind of development direction is indeed in line with the personalities of the four brothers. As long as they don't do anything, the Qingyanghou Mansion will get better and better.

Xie San is completely "following orders" to be a dude.

After figuring this out, Ke Qi slowly thought about his proper position.Since the Xie Mansion has a lot of trust in him and is willing to train him, then he must allow himself to integrate into the benign ecological circle of the Qingyang Hou Mansion.After all, in-laws are a very reliable relationship in this day and age.

"Don't say anything else, just say a little bit, I can't lose Xie Jinhua's face, right?" Ke Qi thought.

Xiu Mu only had a few days left, and when they returned to the academy, Xie Jinhua's apprenticeship ceremony was about to be held.Mr. Mu's status is right there, so the apprenticeship ceremony is both grand and low-key.The grand reason is that Mr. Mu attaches great importance to the apprentice ceremony, so all the arrangements are made according to the highest standard; the low-key is because Mr. Mu wants to protect his little disciple and does not want him to be exposed to others too early, so he did not invite too many people Come to watch the ceremony.

Before Xie Jinhua, Mr. Mu also accepted two disciples.

The eldest disciple has died of illness. Although he was a gentleman and quick-witted, his official career was not going well just like Mu Lao.The second disciple was a Jinshi in the previous dynasty, but he was highly valued in this dynasty, and now he has been an official to the magistrate, so he must have a bright future.Therefore, Xie Jinhua is the only one who can learn from Mr. Mu.

Xie Da took great pains to send Xie Jinhua to Mr. Mu, because he knew that Xie Jinhua was not suitable for being an official, and also because he vaguely knew that Mr. Mu was going to revise the book according to the order.How old is Mu Lao now?Even if he is old and strong, he is still 70 years old!Writing books is not something that can be done overnight, when Mr. Mu loses energy, he needs his disciple Xie Jinhua to step up to him.This is definitely a good opportunity to make a name for yourself!

It can be said that Xie Da has already planned the road that Xie Jinhua will take in the next 20 years.The first ten years are used for learning, and the next ten years will gradually replace Mu Lao as Mu Lao's successor.This is not to ask Xie Jinhua to step on Mu Lao to climb up, he just gave Xie Jinhua the best starting point.

The life of the little couple in the academy gradually calmed down.

It always takes a lot of time to read and practice calligraphy, and it also takes some time to make friends and fight essays. Everyday life seems very fulfilling.The two of them also planned to go to Ye Zhengping's house when they took a rest next time.It's November, so it's time for the Ye family sister's affairs to end, right?

However, before Xiu Mu came next time, Xie San came to the door.

The Mid-Levels where Qiulin Academy is located cannot be used to entertain students' families.There is a place at the foot of the mountain that resembles a reception room.In theory, if relatives and friends want to send things to the students, they can only send them to the reception room.If they want to meet the students, they can only do so in the reception room.However, the school is not strict in checking this aspect.That is to say, if someone really got into the middle of the mountain, it wouldn't alarm too many people.

Xie San got involved.

To be honest, when Ke Qi got the vegetables from the handyman Chen Niu's father—they had a long-term private deal—he never expected to see Xie San in a coarse cloth bunt next to Chen Vegetable Farmer!The vegetable farmer rubbed his hands and said, "Listen, I heard, this is your husband's elder brother."

What the hell is my husband's brother!Ke Qi pulled Xie San aside and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xie San followed Ke Qi back to his residence.Xie San was very excited to have successfully mixed into the middle of the mountain.He danced and showed off his "legendary" experience to Ke Qi, repeating his "brilliant" methods tirelessly.In fact, the whole process was not as climaxing as he said!He just found a vegetable farmer who sent vegetables and fruits to the mountain, put on an arrogant face of a family member, and gave some money, and that's it.

Xie Jinhua was also very surprised to see the third brother coming.

Xie San immediately dropped Ke Qi, held Xie Jinhua's hand again, and repeated his uphill process.He said triumphantly: "...I'm still witty, and I can find an excuse, pretending to be the vegetable farmer's distant nephew. Hey, I have been his nephew for a long time, and I have given him a lot of money!"

Xie Jinhua looked at Ke Qi helplessly.

Ke Qi pursed his lips and said silently: "I've read too many scripts." This "brother from the husband's family" suffers from typical adolescent performance syndrome.

"Third brother, you came to find us on purpose, but what happened?" Xie Jinhua asked.

Xie San led Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi into the house like a master, and said, "There is indeed something wrong, and it has something to do with Ke Qi."

Ke Qi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Did something happen to my uncle's family, or did something happen to the original Ke family?"

Xie San found a chair and sat down, ordered Xie Jinhua not very politely, and said: "Go, make a pot of tea for brother, no matter what kind of tea, as long as it can quench your thirst. I'm dying of thirst." He looked at Ke Qi again , Said: "Your concubine brothers... have been kicked out by the mistress of the Ke family, do you know?"

Ke Qi naturally knew.Even Ke Qi, who is still close to his direct lineage, has actually left the Ke family and established his own family.

Seeing that Xie San was really thirsty, Xie Jinhua didn't make tea for Xie San, but directly handed him a bowl of boiled water that had cooled down.It's really rude to serve guests with plain water, but it really quenches your thirst.Anyway, my brothers don't have to be so polite.Xie San took the porcelain bowl and drank several mouthfuls first.

"You also know that I don't stay at home very much these days, and I met a lot of friends outside." Xie San put down the bowl, "Then, I happened to know something. Brother Ke has a concubine brother, who is about the fifth Well, he seems to have fabricated the evidence and wants to sue Mistress Song for murdering her husband."

"It's impossible!" Ke Qi said without thinking.

Without waiting for Xie San to say anything, Ke Qi quickly explained: "Thank you, third brother, for telling me about this matter. What I said could not mean that my aunt would not do such a tricky thing." Ke Qi, as a bystander in Ke's mansion, Or, even though I did think about it occasionally, when Mrs. Song couldn't bear it anymore, she might kill Master Ke to death, after all, this man was really too much.However, the reason why Song has been enduring it is entirely for her own children.

No one is stronger than a mother who wants to protect her children.Therefore, Mrs. Song is a very calm person.

Xie San shook his head and said: "I'm actually sure of this, then Ke Wu is really not just talking about it. Think about it, no matter how bad the Ke family is now, the imperial court has not taken back the order of the mistress of the Ke family. Your three brothers are all famous, but what about Ke Wu? If he doesn't have any real evidence, how dare he sue his mother as a concubine? His biological mother is even controlled by the mistress of the Ke family. .”

The Ke family has no good concubines, all of them are cheap concubines who have signed a contract of sale.When Mrs. Song kicked out these concubines who had always been arrogant, they would naturally not repay their contracts of sale in good faith, but exercised the rights of their masters and sent them all to the closed nunnery for convicts.

"My 'fifth brother'... was a good son when my father was still alive. In fact, he is the most selfish. He is already full of five poisons at a young age. As long as he has money to let him drink Gambling and visiting brothels, he will never care about his biological mother." Ke Qi said bluntly.

Although there is nothing wrong with saying this, what Xie San said is also very reasonable. Where did Ke Wu get the confidence to sue his aunt?

Xie Jinhua said from the side: "Master Ke is an imperial court after all. He fell into the river and drowned because of drinking too much alcohol. Since he died unexpectedly, he must have had an autopsy done. If he died of murder rather than accident, It should have been discovered at that time, and it is impossible to hide it for so long."

"Unless the mother-in-law buys all those people who work for you." Ke Qi answered, "But the risk of buying people is too great. Seeing that my first brothers and sisters, the scholar's scholar, and the elder brother are all married, When my aunt is about to end all her hardships, she caused such a big trouble for herself?"

Could it be that Ke Wu's mind was confused, and he deliberately spoke harsh words because he was depressed, as if he could really sue his aunt!Or he just broke the jar, thinking that he is not happy now, so he wants to make people unhappy, so he deliberately appeared as a disgusting person.

Xie San shook his head again, and said, "That Ke Wu has the witness in his hand."

Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi looked at each other.The expression on Ke Qi's face gradually became serious.If the Song family really killed Master Ke, and this matter was exposed again, then the children of the direct line of the Ke family would have no future at all.Song's life in exchange for Master Ke's life, it's not worth it!

"I always feel that something is wrong..." Ke Qi murmured.His brows furrowed tightly.

Although Xie San seldom violated laws and disciplines on weekdays, his three views were definitely not upright, and said: "How about we make a game and kill Ke Wu. If not, we must kill Ke Wu." He gave him a beating, and then drove him out of the capital completely. I have a pretty good impression of your fourth brother Ke You."

"No... there is indeed a problem." Ke Qi stood up abruptly, "I still don't believe that my aunt would kill someone. And even if she did, it would definitely be her act alone, and she would definitely not His own children were involved. Even if Ke Wu sued his aunt, completely ruined the reputation of the aunt and ruined the future of several aunts, but the family business would still be inherited by my aunts. Can't get it."

How could such a selfish person like Ke Wu do such a thankless thing?The most important thing for him is money, and only with money can he enjoy himself.Moreover, as a concubine, he has to sue his aunt, no matter what the result is, it is already unfilial, so he has to be punished before entering the yamen, he must not be able to bear this.Therefore, if Ke Wu really had evidence in his hand, he would only go to Ke's mansion to threaten the Song family, and he would treat the Song family as a money bag from then on.

If Ke Wu wanted to sue the Song family, there was only one possibility, that is, someone paid him to do so!He could get a ton of money out of it!

However, what is the value of the Ke Mansion after the death of the male master, so that some people will pay special attention to it?Ke Qi looked at Xie San and said, "Third Brother, how did you know about Ke Wu's news? Which friend passed it on to you? What did you say in the original words? Third Brother, you have been with me from the beginning to the end. Tell me."

Although Ke Qi has separated, if some things are allowed to develop, he may not be able to stay out of them, so he has to make plans early.
