Chapter 140： The child who died for the master 5

Once again, Xie Hong, who was sneaking and cheating, was caught by his father, but he withdrew his hand helplessly, and sighed while lying on the table.

"Daddy, but if I don't move, I will lose."

At this time, Xie Hui had guessed why others didn't want to play with him in the school. There wasn't much emotion on his face, he just tidied up the chessboard silently, and said:

"Come on, come on again."

Since Xie Hong learned this from his master, he likes to play chess very much, but it is a pity that on weekdays, he can only use tricks to let others play with him for a while.

Now it's rare to meet someone who is willing to play with him again after playing a game with him, and can't wait to put the chess pieces back into the chess basket.

This time, Xie Hong saw that he was about to win, but he didn't expect that when he lowered his head to take the chess and raised his head again, the appearance of the chessboard had changed, which made him stunned instantly.

"father?"

"Huh? What's the matter? Why don't you continue?"

Xie Hong stared at the chessboard carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong, his brows were tightly knit together.

"Daddy, did you quietly move the chess piece behind my back? I always feel that this guy is not here."

"Oh? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

When Xie Hong heard his father's words, he subconsciously shook his head, but he just felt that his father had tampered with it.

"Since I have never seen it with my own eyes, it is slander."

Xie Hui casually made another move, and the chessboard instantly changed into a situation where he would lose. Xie Hong's whole face crumpled when he saw it.

"Daddy, you are cheating!"

Seeing that Xie Hong was in a hurry now, Xie Hui moved the chess piece he had just moved back to its original position.

It's okay for this kid to play tricks like this in front of me. Seeing his family racking their brains and not knowing how to win him, Xie Hui still thinks it's cute.

But my own children are always the only ones who think they are cute. If they are so naughty and unruly outside, it is annoying.

"Are you in a hurry just now?"

"I'm obviously about to win. Daddy is messing around. How could I not be in a hurry?"

Xie Hong picked up the chess pieces one by one, puffing up his cheeks angrily.

"You said that others don't want to play with you, that's why. Do things like a human being, win openly, lose openly, there is no shame in it."

When Xie Hui retrieved the chess pieces, he glanced at him distractedly.

This kid is good in other areas, but he is too competitive and must want to win.

Xie Hong thought for a while, and seeing his father drop another piece, he also randomly placed a piece on the chessboard.

In this game, he lost again without any surprise. When packing up the chess pieces, he muttered in frustration:

"Daddy, I can't beat you at all."

"If you can't beat me, then work hard, and you will win one day. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to lose if you win Daddy openly?"

Xie Hong thought about it carefully, it was really the case, even if he played tricks, he still couldn't beat his father. If Xie Hongdan could beat his father seriously, his heart would beat a little faster just thinking about it.

"Daddy, I must practice hard every day!"

"Well, remember, for you today, playing chess is not as important as studying. Daddy is still waiting for my family's Honger to succeed, and he will become Juren's father."

After hitting a stick and then giving a sweet date, Xie Hui smiled and stretched out his hand to rub his hair, reminding him in a low voice:

"It's getting late now, it's time to go back and rest."

"Oh, Dad, then I'll come and play chess with you tomorrow~"

After finishing speaking, Xie Hong quickly ran out without even waiting for his father to finish speaking.

When Liu Xie went back to clean up the chessboard by himself, the more he thought about it, the more helpless he felt. This kid managed to become more independent after entering the school, how did one incident attract a little clingy man.

However, after a hard day at school, it is not impossible for him to relax at home and play a game of chess with himself.

…

Time flies, Xie Hong's talent in reading is not excellent, but he is a little smarter among ordinary people, and he is also diligent, so his grades are not bad.

All the way smoothly, he was admitted as a scholar, and then was recommended by his master to go to the famous academy outside the city.

Coincidentally, the family where Xie Hui works, the son of the princess, also happened to go to the academy to study in this year.

According to the rules of this dynasty, if the eldest son of a member of the royal family wants to follow the path of a scholar, he will be born with the status of a scholar. It's just that if you want to be an official, you have to take the scientific examination yourself.

Similarly, the well-known academies don't need to be recommended by others, let alone grades, and you can go directly to study.

The son of the princess was taught very well by the wife invited by Nanny Song. Xie Hui has been the housekeeper there for so many years, and he has some face in front of the master's house, so he asked the young master to take care of him for a while. .

In the first year, Xie Hong regretted failing the rankings, but he was not too discouraged, but a little disappointed, thinking that he was to blame for losing the face of the academy, and he was obviously the last one before.

"Young master intends to travel far away, why don't you go with me?"

Xie Hui saw the child who locked himself in the house and didn't want to come out, so he stood outside the door and asked aloud.

The originally closed window was pushed open from inside, and Xie Hong poked his head out curiously.

"Didn't the young master pass the Juren exam? Why is he traveling so far?"

This question, Xie Hui has no way to answer, after all he is not a roundworm in that young master's stomach, how can he know what is in his heart.

It's just that when Nanny Song hinted at herself, she realized that her son had locked her at home for a while, so she came to ask Hong'er for her opinion.

"The ancients once said that 'it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books'. Now there is nothing left or right. The next time will be three years later. It is good to go out for a walk now and gain some experience."

Xie Hui knew that Nanny Song was afraid that the young master would be alone on the road without help, but what Xie Hui thought was that although the world is not chaotic, he must be worried about letting a child as old as his son go out. .

At any rate, the young master can be regarded as related to the royal family. If the two of them go together, they can take care of each other as Nanny Song said.

"Father, don't you really want me to serve that young master on the road?"

Xie Hong supported the window with one hand, and put the other hand on the window sill. When he said this, he looked a little pitiful.

"Father is not a servant of the son's house. What do you want to serve others? I just want you to take care of each other. If you don't want to go, then father will go back to Nanny Song tomorrow."

"Hey, don't, dad, I didn't say no..."

Xie Hongcai, a seventeen-year-old boy, had been staying in the capital before, and had read about the great mountains and rivers in books. If he had the chance, he would naturally want to see them for himself.

After hearing his promise, Xie Hui handed him the bank note he had prepared a long time ago, and said:

"You are not allowed to use your money on the road. If you need help, you can help. But remember, you are not a servant of their family, and you will bring someone to serve him."

Xie Hong touched the thick bank note, before he could speak, his father stuffed him with a small bag of broken silver and copper coins.

"When you are away from home, it is inevitable that it will be inconvenient to use bank notes. If you don't reveal your wealth, be careful."

"Got it, Dad."

On the second day, Xie Hong and the young master got into the car and left the capital together. The son is going to visit his grandmother's family. That family is in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that because of the mediocrity of the younger generation, it has gradually declined.

There are many scenic spots along the way, and Xie Hong, who went out for the first time, was as happy as a bird that just got out of the cage, spreading its wings and letting go.

Their trip took about five months, and it happened to snow when they came back.

After Xie Hui sorted out the ledgers, Nanny Song saw that the weather this winter was really too cold, so she asked all the invited people in the house to go back to prepare for the New Year, leaving some servants who were bought to serve.

After Xie Hui returned home, he wrapped a red envelope for the mother-in-law who had been working in their house, and asked her to go back earlier to celebrate the New Year with her son.

It's fine to take care of yourself by yourself when you have nothing else to do.

Xie Hong, who finally came back, pushed open the door, and shouted excitedly as soon as he walked in:

"Daddy, Daddy, I'm back!"

Xie Hong was wearing a cloak, opened the door and ran in very excitedly, seeing his father making tea in the small pavilion by the yard, looking relaxed and relaxed, he somehow felt that he had come at an inappropriate time.

After shaking off the snowflakes on his body, he walked into the pavilion. Instead of deliberately holding it in front of outsiders, he squatted directly beside the charcoal basin, stretched out his hand to bake, raised his head to stare at his father, and couldn't help asking:

"Father, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, are you not worried about me?"

Xie Hui picked up the freshly brewed tea, took a sip and put it down, the tea was still steaming.

"My Hong'er is so good, what is there to worry about? Didn't he come back safely? Come and tell Dad, is there anything interesting that happened on the way?"

As soon as Xie Hong heard his father's words, he immediately forgot what happened before, and couldn't wait to tell his father what he saw on the road.

Going out for a long time, I feel that my whole vision has broadened. Especially after seeing a scholar in his 10s or 40s who still insisted on studying, Xie Hong felt that it was nothing for him to fail once.

Others didn't think about giving up at such an old age, but I just failed once.

"However, I think there is a girl in the grandparent's family of the young master who is so strange..."

People in this dynasty are as old as Xie Hong, and they are almost at the right age to get married. Now Xie Hui unconsciously became serious when he heard the word "girl" from his mouth.

After Xie Hong's hands were warmed, he sighed helplessly.

"Hey, daddy, I just heard the young master mention before that his grandparent's family has fallen. But I didn't expect that it didn't fall to that extent."

"What a girl, her eyes are twitching when she looks at people, and she has no money to see a doctor."
