happy rebirth

Xie Jinhua communicated with Brother Xie's family as usual, and the letter only mentioned some ordinary things, and never mentioned any conspiracy.When it was time for Xiumu, both Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi wanted to go to Ye Zhengping's house to have a look, so Xie Jinhua had already written in his letter that he didn't go home because he wanted to visit friends.

At this time, according to the lunar calendar, October is already winter.The weather is getting colder.

Brother Xie made a detour to Lanfang Yuan, picked and picked in Xie San's study, found three or four history books, and said: "Using history as a mirror, you can tell right from wrong. You copy these few books first, and after you copy them, you will Keep it in your heart. If there is anything you don’t understand, write it all down, and I will explain it to you.”

Xie San shrank his head and said: "Brother, you are busy, I really don't understand, you can trouble the fourth brother."

"I have received a letter from Xiaosi, he will not come back this time. If you want to ask him, you can wait!" Xie Da couldn't help but said, "Look at Xiaosi, I will write a letter to inform you before going out. .Look at you again, every time you cut first and play later, last time you only left a letter, but you played outside for so long."

"I will study with my fourth brother in the future." Xie San said hastily.He suddenly felt something was wrong, didn't he and the fourth brother do the same thing?

The clever and wise elder brother has not yet discovered the mistakes and omissions in his own words.

At this moment, Xie San seemed to feel the malice of the whole world.

The favored Xie Jinhua sneezed in the academy, and Ke Qi asked nervously, "Did you catch a cold?"

Xie Jinhua rubbed his nose, and said, "Probably not...you touch my hand, it's very warm." He needs to ask for Ping An's pulse every other time, and the imperial doctor who has been in charge of seeing him said very affirmatively that he My body has become much stronger, and those deficiencies are gradually getting rid of.

"It's good that you're not sick... Then someone must be thinking about you." Ke Qi couldn't help but make a joke.

Xie Jinhua now knows how to fight back, and said: "Aren't you just standing in front of me? Will you miss me like this?"

There was no one else in the yard, but apart from the couple, there was a bird.Na Yan, a big parrot who has mastered a foreign language, shook his wings and imitated two dog barks: "Wow!" Mastering one more skill will improve his competitiveness, and the barking of a dog can drive away annoying big cats.

Oh, you can also cheat from the hands of scholars.

Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua's popularity in the academy is getting better and better.The courtyard where they live has gradually become a regular meeting point for students, because there is no hunger for gathering here.However, Ke Qi is not alone in cooking.He can cook for Xie Jinhua, he can cook for Shao Rui, but if he cooks every time when there are many people gathering, it will be as if he has lowered his self-worth.Therefore, cooking takes turns.

At this time, a gentleman said that the condition of the small kitchen is very limited, only one stove.On the one hand, this makes people feel very inconvenient. Every time they can only cook some simple food such as noodles in clear soup or porridge, but on the other hand, because the food is boiled, there is less oily smoke, and it will not be a problem to cook a meal. People feel "disgraceful".What's more, before cooking, everyone has to write a noodle fu or love porridge.

Ke Qi didn't know where this popularity came from. He only knew that when he organized a multi-person gathering for the first time, Xie Jinhua led everyone to write poems with the theme of white rice porridge with a serious expression, and selected the best one, and then Shi Kui happily ran to the tea room to cook porridge for everyone.

Ke Qi said to Shao Rui at that time: "... whoever came up with this method must be a wonderful person? In this way, cooking noodles and porridge can become an elegant thing like drinking tea. Moreover, every The ones who come back to cook are the ones who are the best, and they don't feel uncomfortable."

Shao Rui looked at Ke Qi in amazement, he was able to boast that he was a wonderful person quietly, Ke Di is really a talent!

In Shao Rui's cognition that was misled by Xie Jinhua early on, writing before cooking is the secret to making food taste better!Of course, Xie Jinhua learned this secret from Ke Qi.Why do you have to choose a leader every time, and then let the leader cook?Of course it is because the text written by the leader is the best, so the food he cooks should also be the most elaborate, and the taste will be a little better than others, right?

Ke Qi was baffled by Shao Rui, and asked, "But what did I say wrong?"

Shao Rui felt that this might be Ke Shi's humor, so he pretended to say: "No, you are right, he is indeed a wonderful person."

In short, first fighting for literature and then cooking, this is a quietly rising trend in the academy, and it gradually becomes a tradition, and will eventually become a feature.Those with good deeds collected the winning works of each Douwen into a book, and copied and circulated them among the students.And none of this alarmed the gentlemen for the time being.

On the day of rest, Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi went down the mountain together, and they made an appointment with Ye Zhengping to meet at the foot of the mountain.However, they saw Xie's carriage waiting at the foot of the mountain.The person waiting by the carriage was Steward Lin, who was Xie Da's confidant, and he came to pick him up in person.

Xie Jinhua only felt very nervous, and thought a lot for a moment, and his face began to turn pale.Since he had already written to tell his elder brother that he would not go home this time, but the mansion still sent people to pick them up, could it be because something happened in the mansion?Otherwise, the eldest brother will never delay his normal communication.

Steward Lin saluted Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi respectively, and said, "Master asked the younger one to pick up Young Master Ke."

Huh?

Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi looked at each other and asked, "What about me?"

It turned out that Xie Da only asked Lin Guanshi to pick up Ke Qi. As for Xie Jinhua, of course he was allowed to go to a friend's house to play.Xie Jinhua never thought of acting separately from Ke Qi.However, since he had made an agreement with Ye Zhengping, he naturally couldn't break the promise.And since Da Xie had already sent someone to pick up Ke Qi, Ke Qi naturally couldn't turn a blind eye.They are like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the storybook, they were separated by Queen Mother Xie after all.

"Perhaps it was caused by the third brother, what does the elder brother want to ask me." Ke Qi whispered to Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinhua also lowered his voice and said: "It should be it... If you ask me anything, you can just say it. Maybe the brother wants to train you well. I'll just go to Ye Zhengping's place alone. Don't worry." Li Yang also came After picking them up, Li Yang will naturally accompany Xie Jinhua around.

The couple whispered their words for a while, and Xie Jinhua told Ke Qi a lot about how to get along with his eldest brother, telling him not to be nervous.Seeing them bid farewell, Manager Lin felt that he was about to separate the lovers, just like Tianhe who helped Xie Wangmu to abuse him.

Xie Jinhua, Shao Rui and Ye Zhengping got into the carriage driven by Li Yang, while Ke Qi followed Steward Lin back to Xie's Mansion.

It's already very cold.However, charcoal was burning in Xie's carriage, so it was naturally very warm inside.The own driver, Ke Qi and Manager Lin, were all sitting in the carriage.Steward Lin will not take the initiative to speak.Ke Qi didn't want to talk.He closed his eyes, a lot of thoughts coming and going in his head.

By the time he got off the car, Ke Qi had already organized his thoughts very clearly.

Xie Da was waiting in the study.He is a person who is not very enthusiastic about people or things-of course, his family and his own affairs have different opinions-but he prefers to light warm incense in the room.Ke Qi didn't know much about incense, he only knew that the light incense on Xie Da's body had never changed, so it should have been dyed in the room.

Xie Da asked Ke Qi to sit down, and Ke Qi sat down generously, and asked, "Brother asked me to come, but what is your order?"

With just this sentence, Xie Da realized that Ke Qi today is different from Ke Qi in the past.In fact, Ke Qi changed his mind on the first day he entered Xie's mansion. The masters in the mansion, including the mistress Zhang, would not deliberately treat people harshly, so Ke Qi got their permission early on to call Xie Da his elder brother.But in fact, Ke Qi has always called "Brother Xie" and "Brother Xie".It wasn't until just now that Ke Qi changed his name to only Big Brother.

Omitting the surname makes it sound more like a family.

Belonging is a strange thing.Sometimes you live in a certain place for a long time, but after all, you feel like a passerby.Sometimes you have a sense of identity with someone who is clearly not related by blood.If it is said that Xie Da used to feel that Ke Qi was a bit distant, but now this feeling is much shallower.

"What happened to your third brother... has some clues, it's really not that simple." Xie Da said.

Ke Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked cautiously: "Forgive me, but the matter of the second son of the Dejun Prince's Mansion being imprisoned last time...is it related to the matter of the third brother?" Bold guesses, and those guesses were all told to Da Xie through Xie Jinhua's mouth.

"If there is a connection, what should you do?" Xie Da stared at Ke Qi closely.

Ke Qi knew that the test was coming, and this should be the highlight of the day.Xie Da did not want his younger brothers to participate in those dangerous incidents, so even if he really found out the results of his investigation, he would not share them with Ke Qi.He just wanted to hear what Ke Qi had to say, so as to find out the depth of Ke Qi.Moreover, even if what Ke Qi said was very reasonable, Xie Da still would not ask Ke Qi to participate in it, and would only use what he said as a reference.

Ke Qi has always been used to pretending to be harmless and honest in front of people since time travel, but now he is slowly revealing his edge.He let out a sigh of relief and said, "Either the praying mantis catches the cicada or the oriole, or he treats the person with his own way, or both."

This is actually a bit of a mystery, as if everything has been said, and it seems that nothing has been said.

Xie Da stared into Ke Qi's eyes without speaking.

If the person being stared at now is Xie San, he probably wouldn't even dare to breathe heavily, but Ke Qi still laughed and continued: "If my guess is right, it should be the mothers of the little princes who caused the trouble." Clan, in order to get riches and honor in the future. Why don't we hide behind them?"

What Ke Qi meant was to let those people continue to spread the net, and since the Xie Mansion has already seen the opportunity, as long as they follow up in the dark, the people who will reap the fruits in the future will not be those people, but the Xie Mansion.This is a pretty good idea, but Xie Da felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Things in court can never be black and white.Villains often live longer than gentlemen.Therefore, Xie Da never thought of training Xie Er, who was somewhat scheming but not ruthless enough, to enter the officialdom, let alone Xie San.Ke Qi's character is enough, but Xie Da feels that he lacks a bit of vision.

However, considering Ke Qi's age, it's actually pretty good to have such an idea, right?

Xie Da knew that he was demanding.He should wait for Ke Qi to study with Ji Da for another two years.

However, Ke Qi didn't finish his sentence, and continued unhurriedly: "At the same time, there should be chaos in the palace. They stretched their hands so long that they stretched out in front of us. I don't believe it. They didn't place spies around the emperor. As long as the emperor is guided to find someone spying on the emperor, maybe some empresses should be demoted when the emperor is angry. And when the palace is in chaos, the outside of the palace is suitable for us to act."

A smile slowly appeared in Xie Da's eyes.

"Although it's not March in Yangchun, flying a kite can still be fun, we just need to be the ones holding the string." Ke Qi only said three points, but Xie Da had already fully understood his calculation.Since some people want to be rats in the gutter, Ke Qi will let them be enough!
