Xie Qian invited Chen Xi to visit the mansion, but did not say the specific intention. Chen Xi was thinking in his mind. Could it be that Emperor Hongzhi had another problem for Xie Qian and could not solve it, so he called him over and prepared to put the tank?

Xie Qian said that he could not go too early, and of course he could not arrive late. Chen Xi estimated that Xie Qian would come out of the cabinet, and then went to Xie's mansion to send the invitation at the door. Zhi Guest politely invited Chen Xi into the room, and then waited in the previous study. Zhi Guest said: "Sir Shen, my master will come back soon."

Chen Xi could see that the Xie family was very happy about Xie Qian's return to the mansion. Xie Qian regarded the cabinet as his home and did not come back often. The masters in the mansion wanted to see Xie Qian but were reluctant. They were worried, but they could not go to the yamen to meet people, right?

The wise man took Chen Xi to the study room, so he hurried to the inner courtyard to report to the master at home.

Chen Xi knew a little about Xie Qian’s private life.

Xie Qian's official wife was Xu, who gave birth to his eldest son Xie Zheng and his second son Xie Pi, and his concubine's wife Jin, and gave birth to four sons for him. Later, Emperor Jiajing gave him four concubines at one time to take care of his health. However, because Xie Qian was old at that time, these four concubines did not come out.

In general, Xie Qian lived a pretty comfortable life in his private life.

Just as Shen Xi was sitting there thinking about something, someone came in from outside the study, with steady steps and heroic spirit. From his face, he was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he had not taken off his childishness. He entered the room in a Confucian robe and respectfully saluted Chen Xi and said: "Students have seen Chen Hanlin."

Chen Xi didn't understand what was going on, but he probably guessed the other party's identity in his heart and asked, "What is your lord?"

The visitor smiled and said, "The student is Yuyao Xie Pi."

Chen Xi nodded and said, "It turns out that he is the second son of Master Xie, who has been relied on for a long time."

Xie Qian has a total of six sons and two daughters. The eldest son Xie Zheng died early, and the second son and the eldest son are about teenagers apart. Xie Pi was born in Chenghua in the 18th year and is only seventeen years old now. He just took the college entrance examination and was currently preparing for the provincial examination in Shuntian Prefecture.

I thought Xie Qian was over 50 years old and his second son was only seventeen years old. This was mainly because Xie Qian was studying abroad when he was in his twenties and the beautiful concubine at home was treated coldly.

Xie Pi seems to have a bit of a childish character. Xie Hengnu once said that his second uncle would play with her when he was not studying. This was the happiest time when Xie Hengnu was at home.

Xie Pi respectfully asked Chen Xi to sit down and personally serve tea for Chen Xi, saying, "Jia Yan once mentioned Shen Hanlin in front of his students, saying that Chen Hanlin's talent and knowledge were definitely the best in my Ming Dynasty. I hope that I often ask Chen Hanlin about the way of learning."

Chen Xi waved his hand quickly: "Mrs. Xie Ge is so complimenting. I am not as good as if I can in terms of talent and knowledge."

Chen Xi was born as the top scholar, and Xie Qian was also the top scholar. Xie Qian was still immersed in the officialdom for so many years. His talent and learning must be far above Shen Xi. However, Xie Qian rarely goes home, let alone teach his son's knowledge. Chen Xi thought to himself: "Is it because Xie Laoer is going to ask me to tutor his son's homework?"

Chen Xi is the right middle Yun of the Youchunfang of Zhanshi Mansion. His main responsibility is to accompany the prince to study, which is equivalent to half of the prince's husband. If Xie Qianzhen asks him to come back to teach his son, it would be suspected of being used by public instruments and privately. Even if he gives him enough training, it would be inconsistent.

Xie Pi was very polite and complimented again, then said: "Today I heard from the servant that Shen Hanlin came, and the students took the liberty to visit. I thought Chen Hanlin had important matters with Jia Yan to discuss with the imperial court. The students were inconvenient to disturb them. They would definitely visit them if they had the opportunity in the future."

Chen Xi nodded, stood up and sent Xie Qian out of the study room, and wondered again, since it was not for professor Xie Pi, why did Xie Qian ask him to come to his house?

When Chen Xi sat down, he saw a small head poking out from the door. Seeing Chen Xi grinning, he wanted to step in, but he didn't dare to wave to Chen Xi at the door. It was Xie Hengnu who Chen Xi met last time when he came to Xie's mansion.

Xie Hengnu was a young girl and was still a little girl's house. She was curious about the outside world. Unfortunately, she was kept in the deep boudoir and could not touch the world outside at all. However, Chen Xi happened to be able to open such a window for her.

"Miss Xie?"

Chen Xi walked over and saluted respectfully.

There is no way, this is not a private meeting. You must be careful when doing anything at Xie Qian's mansion. If you are rude to this lady of the Xie family, you will be caught and arrested.

"Um?"

Xie Hengnu looked puzzled. Obviously no one had called her "Miss Xie". She seemed a little unfamiliar with this title, "Brother Qi, just call him Jun'er."

Chen Xi didn't dare to call him casually. He immediately mentioned the question of the name and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I eavesdropped on my second uncle talking to someone and said that Brother Qi was here, so I came over and checked. Uncle II didn't know that I was following him, hehe."

The little girl smiled very cutely. After all, she was a girlish person. With her age, she didn't know what reserve is. She happened to be a year of daring to think and do, so there was no need to worry too much.

Chen Xi's face looked a little embarrassed: "Your grandfather is coming back soon, you'd better go back to the backyard first."

The smile on the little girl's face suddenly dimmed, and her little head shook like a rattle: "Brother Qi, since you left last time, I have never dared to go to the garden to play. If there are any worms coming out, no one will help me catch them."

Chen Xi thought to himself, the meaning of my existence is to help the little girl catch snakes?

When I was in Taohua Village, I wanted to catch a snake everywhere and come back to improve my life, but I didn’t expect to meet it in the backyard of a wealthy mansion. This is somewhat fate.

Chen Xidao: "It is difficult to have insects in Xie Mansion. If there are any more, I will help you catch them."

"Uh-huh."

Xie Hengnu was so happy that Chen Xi would come to catch snakes in the future, which was an interesting thing for her. But when she thought that the snake was wet, slippery, hideous and terrifying, her little face was a little shocked, and she couldn't help but reach out and pull Chen Xi, "Brother Qi, please accompany me to the garden to play. I haven't fed fish for a long time."

Chen Xi was really embarrassed. The little girl asked him to play with him and went to feed the fish together. It was a beautiful scenery in the setting sun, but such a little girl could not have delusions. This is the granddaughter of Xie Qian and Xie Grand Secretary Xie.

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "I have something important to do with your grandfather. You have to go back first, be good, be obedient..."

"oh!"

Xie Hengnu pouted, her little face full of grievances, but she seemed to be very afraid of her grandfather, and reluctantly turned around to the side yard, but she turned around every three steps, as if she was hoping that Chen Xi would change her mind.

After Xie Hengnu left, Chen Xi calmed down and returned to her seat to wait.

"The Xie family is really strange. If Xie Lao'er doesn't come again, everyone in the Xie family will come over and say hello to me, right?"

Soon, Xie Qian came back with a dark face in court clothes. He knew that business was not going well at first sight. However, after seeing Chen Xi, he immediately changed his usual smile on his face and greeted him with a smile: "Chen Xi, it's quite early, just sit down and talk."

Chen Xi did not dare to sit down and bowed first, "I don't know what happened to Mr. Xie who came to the student?"

Xie Qian said angrily: "There must be business to let you come, so you can't talk about your private matters?"

Private matter?

No relatives or reasons, what private matters can I tell you?

However, Xie Qian didn't say anything, Chen Xi was not easy to ask. As soon as she sat down, a maid came in and changed into hot tea again. Xie Qian seemed to be thirsty, took a few big sips of tea before turning back and smiling at Chen Xi: "Chen Xi, you are not young anymore, can you arrange a marriage for you at home?"

It was actually a marriage? Chen Xi thought about it in his heart and replied according to the truth: "Some students got married before taking the provincial examination last year."

"Ah!? So early? Your wife...is the lady of the Xie family?" Xie Qian asked.

Chen Xi nodded: "That's right."

Xie Qian's face became a little ugly and he muttered, "No wonder, you are not alone in the credit for the treatment of the prince, but you have to fight for His Majesty's treasure for the Xie family. Miss Xie is considered to have married a good man. Alas! There is nothing else, you can go back."

This turn of confrontation is faster than turning a book. Chen Xi thought to himself, would you come to me to discuss my marriage? If I am not married, would you marry my granddaughter Xie Hengnu?

If you think about it carefully, there is really this possibility!

These days, girls usually get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. It is not too early to start a marriage program at the age of twelve. The marriage is settled first and then prepare for one or two years. It will be almost the same when they get married. Xie Yuner and Hong Zhuo got engaged at the same age as Xie Yuner.

Looking at the capital, if you want to say that you are about the same age as Xie Hengnu and have great prospects, there is no one left behind Chenxi.

Even Xie Qian's daughter is married to an ordinary family of officials. Nowadays, she pursues the pursuit of scholarship and fame at the age of fifteen or sixteen, not to mention winning the top scorer at the age of thirteen.

Some people say that they are young talents. The name of "child prodigy" at the age of thirteen or fourteen is everywhere. As a result, there are many people who cannot even pass the exam. Chen Xi, the top scholar, has lost the pressure of imperial examinations early on and is waiting to rise to the top in the officialdom in the future. Xie Qian wants to marry his granddaughter to him. From the perspective of a parent, it is understandable.

But this change in attitude made Chen Xi at a loss.

"There is nothing else to do with Ge Lao Xie?" Chen Xi asked.

Xie Qian was a little distorted: "What else can you do? In short, you can consider many things yourself. In the future, you can't be careless in teaching the prince. Okay, go."

Chen Xi came out of the study in disappointment and walked towards the door under the guidance of Zhike. At this moment, a voice behind him shouted: "Brother Qi, Brother Qi, you wait..."

But Xie Hengnu ran and chased him out all the way, holding a kite in his hand, and handed it to Chen Xi with a smile, "This is what my second uncle in Yang taught me to do. After it is done, I want to give it to Brother Qi, hehe..."

The little girl smiled very shyly and cutely. She didn't know what love is, but she knew what concerns were in her heart.

Xie Hengnu handed the kite to Chen Xi, as if he wanted to play with Chen Xi, but soon found a pair of stern eyes, and his expression frightened, turned around and ran towards the side yard.

Xie Qian walked over with a pale face, with a huge anger in his voice: "When did you...well, have you met her?"

Before Chen Xi could turn around, the servant next to him came out to explain: "Master, last time there was a snake in the mansion, he almost bit Miss Sun. It was Lord Shen who took the snake. The young men didn't look at the yard, so they didn't know how to let the snake crawl in. Please forgive me!"

Xie Qian was relieved and waved his hand to Chen Xi and said, "Well, let's go."
