Chapter 726 Back

"Mae Mae, here we come!"

From the day of proposing, Xiao Xun has been thinking about how to bring his beloved girl here. At the entrance of the alley in front, an old elm tree is surrounded by a bamboo fence, and the trunk and fence are full of people. The red cloth strips used for blessings are blown by the cool breeze, and the red cloth strips are fluttering in the wind. The elm trees are covered with white flowers, and the sweet fragrance permeates the air.

Xie Zhiwei fell in love with it almost at the first sight. He pointed to the elm tree happily and said to Xiao Xun, "Ah Xun, look, there are a lot of elm coins. We can eat scrambled eggs and make cakes. It's really great."

Only then did Xiao Xun feel relieved. He was afraid that Meimei would not like this place, so he was unwilling to follow him. Although he could go back to the capital, the battlefield in the future would be mainly in the north. He wanted to be able to see Meimei after the battle. I don't even want to miss the days when she was married to Ji.

So, he has to hurry up.

Xuantao and the others had arrived three days ago, and Zi Mo had been watching over the house, and it had already been well organized. After the cages were moved down, the house here was tidied up as if it were at Xie’s house, and the room was kept in harmony with each other. The antique racks are exactly the same every time, and the ornaments on them are all arranged according to Xie Zhiwei's rules in Xie's house.

Xie Mingxi heard that her sister came back today. After finishing class with Mr. Yu, she hurriedly finished her homework and waited at the second gate, sitting on the steps under the screen wall. , he doesn't walk away.

Fortunately, when it was getting dark, there was a noise outside, he hurriedly ran to the gate, just in time to see his brother-in-law carrying his sister off the horse, Xuan Tao, Zi Mo and the others were leading the maids and the mother-in-law in the room. The son is waiting for Xie Zhiwei.

Xie Zhiwei's eyes swept over the crowd, and landed on Xie Mingxi. Seeing him so wronged that he was about to cry, his heart ached for a while, and he quickly stretched out his arms, "Brother Xi!"

Xie Mingxi ran over with tears in his eyes, and was about to throw himself into Xie Zhiwei's arms when Xiao Xun grabbed his collar, "I heard that you have practiced horse stance and archery well in the past month, follow me tomorrow morning Go to the barracks, I want to check it!"

Xie Mingxi was so startled that his voice broke, "Really? Brother-in-law, are you serious?"

"Well, if you can afford a gun, follow me to practice marksmanship. If Mr. Fan goes to the battlefield, you will follow!"

Xie Zhiwei was taken aback. A gentleman's words are hard to follow. Since Xiao Xun said these words, it must not be to amuse Xie Mingxi. She couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Is this appropriate?"

"There is nothing inappropriate. My father-in-law handed him over to me so that I would have the opportunity to take him to the battlefield for training. After all, it is rare for my own father to be ruthless to do such a thing."

Xie Mingxi was afraid that Xie Zhiwei would not agree, so he hurriedly persuaded, "Sister, I can do it!"

Xie Zhiwei was still worried, Xiao Xun said, "How about I throw him to Liu Xingjun?"

Before Xie Zhiwei could speak, Xie Mingxi jumped up and objected, "No, I want to follow my brother-in-law!"

After Xie Zhiwei took a bath, Xiao Xun still had things to deal with in the front yard and didn't come back. Since Xie Mingxi followed him, he naturally also held the inkstone and polished the ink for Xiao Xun, turning around like a tail, never leaving a step.

The war in Xijiang has been settled, and Lu Yan has not taken office yet, so Xie Yuanbai is left to deal with everything. He is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs. The troops are all deployed to defend the western border, the neighbors are trembling, and they are always worried about Dayong's invasion, so naturally no one dares to stroke the tiger's beard.

The rest of the generals all came to the Northland. Xu Liang and Xie Zhihui hadn't met a few times, and now they were going to separate again. After talking about the battle, Xu Liang hesitated to leave. When Xiao Xun got impatient, he hesitated to speak, "Ah Xun, can you let the Princess take over the second girl?"

"Why?" Xiao Xun asked knowingly.

"Well, you know, the girl ran after me with great difficulty, and I left from Xijiang in the end. I couldn't bear it? If she was misunderstood and thought I didn't want her, wouldn't she Sad? The point is, if she doesn't want me, where can I find a wife? "

Xiao Xun pondered for a moment, "What do you mean, I want you to go to the battlefield, and I have to solve your daughter-in-law problem first? Or, you go pick it up in person?"

"Ah, how about that, don't I still want to be your pioneer?"

"It's good to know!" Xiao Xun patted Xu Liang's shoulder, "Instead of begging me to help you pick up Miss Xie Er now, you should do your best. If I am happy, I will blow the pillow wind for you and let the princess Marry your younger sister as soon as possible, and you can embrace the beauty as soon as possible."

Xie Zhihui is less than one year younger than Xie Zhi. Seeing that the princess is about to reach the age of Ji, Xie Zhihui is also soon. If the Xie family can marry someone to him before the second girl reaches the age of Ji, wouldn’t it be a great joy.

Xu Liang immediately smiled, and cupped his hands at Xiao Xun, "Then thank you, my lord!"

Xiao Xun gave him a thumbs up and praised, "You can teach me!"

This house on East Street used to be the residence of a wealthy family. The lintel was remodeled. When you enter the gate, there are wing rooms on both sides of the courtyard. There is a door in the middle of the west wing, which is a courtyard. There are five main rooms facing south. , the west and north are wing rooms, the main room is Xiao Xun's study, and the wing rooms are used by some of his generals or staff for work and rest on weekdays.

After the second gate, there is a ritual gate, a double-sided embossed nine-dragon wall erected at the gate, hand-painted corridors on both sides, a main hall with a width of seven rooms, two long pavilions on the top of the mountain, and a side hall with three rooms in the west. See Shantang.

Behind the lobby, there is a west-spanning courtyard, where Xie Zhiwei’s courtyard is located. Behind the courtyard is a three-acre garden. Behind the building are three huts, which were originally the inner courtyard of the family.

On the gate of the west courtyard, hang the three characters "Ninghuitang" written by Xiao Xun himself.

Back to the familiar environment. After taking a bath, Xie Zhiwei felt comfortable all over. After relaxing, he lay lazily on the Arhat bed and asked about Zi Mo's situation.

"Since Mrs. Chen from Mr. Zhou's family, the chief envoy, sent a message to the mansion, and the servants gave gifts to the Zhou family according to the usual practice, all the officials from the Zhending mansion, no matter how big or small, all sent gifts to the mansion. , Slaves can’t favor one another, so in the past two years, a lot of gifts have been given one after another. The slaves thought, it would be great if the master came earlier. What is this?" Zi Mo asked.

Xie Zhiwei smiled and said, "You mean, I didn't come, but the wife of Zhou Damo's family is so polite and gave me a gift. What about the New Year's Day gift? Didn't she say to give me a New Year's Day gift?"
