Seeing that Xie Qi was still hesitant, the lady was so angry that she took out her handkerchief, turned her back to Xie Qi, and tapped the corner of her eyes with the handkerchief. She sobbed in a low voice: "I have only had three children below my knees in so many years.
This female monarch was in bad health after giving birth last time. After watching the Holy Hands of the Apricot Grove many times, she said that it would be difficult to get pregnant. How many tribesmen knew about this? How much embarrassment and rejection did she endure, both overtly and covertly?
I have heard so much ridicule. Didn’t their words hurt me physically and mentally?"
Hearing what Madam said, Xie Qi's scalp began to tingle, and he came forward to comfort him and said, "Tell me, why are you crying again? It's not like I don't want to plan for my three children. This,
Isn’t it that the time has not yet come?”
Madam will not listen to his words.
She turned her gaze slightly, just enough to allow Xie Qi to see the tears in the corners of her eyes and the reddish eye sockets. Then she turned around and cried again, saying: "Master Lang is still in his prime, I am still alive and well, my clan
There are voices in the family saying that we will adopt a male heir to pass on the incense, and the marriage of the three female monarchs in the future can be easily discussed... Isn't this the intention to kill me? The aunt in the family even advised me to be generous.
It would be better for the master to take in a maid as a dowry and give birth to a son, than to leave the family property to some bastard."
Xie Qi's head is bigger.
The lady continued to complain: "Isn't it because they bullied me, a housewife, because I gave birth to three female monarchs who were unable to cultivate and support their family? Didn't the Master also regret that the female monarchs were smart and pitiful?
Daughter?"
Xie Qi tried to interrupt: "It's not Madam..."
Madam raised her voice, raised her hand and smacked the table, with a loud bang that was louder than the thank you. Her eyes were decisive and resolute: "Now that you have the opportunity, why don't you refuse? Even if you are trying to repay a favor, you will fall into a bad situation.
Reputation, but for us parents, can a mere reputation be as important as a woman's future? If you, Xie Shizang, are thin-skinned and refuse to go, then let me go."
After saying that, the lady made a gesture to get up and go out.
He did not forget to say: "You are a man who cares about face and reputation, but I am a housewife with no skin or face. Not to mention letting Tunan repay the favor, as long as she is willing to accept those poor ladies in me,
It’s okay to kneel down and bow down to her three times and nine times!”
"If she refuses to accept it, then it will be the fate of the four of us... In order not to be the main culprit for your Xie family to die, Master Lang will choose a day to get the dowry from my concubine who is still unmarried.
I'll choose one of the maids."
The madam walked slowly, and before she even took two steps forward, her legs were grabbed by the sleeves. He said helplessly: "Madam, what are you talking about? How could I not make plans for our lady? You
Don't be impatient, at least wait until daybreak, right?"
After hearing this, Madam sat back down with a cold hum.
Xie Qi let out another long sigh. While observing his wife's face, he softly reasoned with her: "It's a trivial matter to find a teacher for our daughter, but the teacher is Ning Tunan, so the meaning is different. Madam, you might as well think about it."
Think... there hasn't been a woman who can practice for more than two hundred years, and now there are two, and I guess there are more than two... Is there some secret behind this? If we know this secret, can we get away easily? "
The lady rolled her eyes and squinted at Xie Qi: "What are you trying to get away from? Master, didn't you say you were going to Longwu County?"
Thank you: "..."
The lady's face was full of unhappiness and she said: "Either I come to ask for Tunan and accept the lady as my disciple, or I always accompany the ancient Buddha with a green lantern to recite sutras for the husband and his new wife to ask for a Lin'er."
The subtext has risen to the point of wanting to reconcile with Xie Qi.
Xie Qi clapped his hands and said: "A visit on a starry night shows your sincerity even more!"
Someone knocked on Ning Yan's temporary residence. If she listened carefully, she could still hear a baby crying. However, wild cats are in heat frequently during this season, so she might have heard the cry wrongly. She lit the lamp, got dressed, opened the door, and there was a sound outside.
It's a thank you utensil...
Um, Xie Qi is a family.
On the left is Xie Qi, and on the right is Xie Qi's wife. The latter raised her hand at this time, as if to continue knocking on the door. Two girls, one tall and one short, with pink and jade sculptures, stood on the left and right, and Xie Qi was holding another in his arms.
, she was the one who kept crying.
Ning Yan was startled by this gesture and mistakenly thought that the child in Xie Qi's arms was suddenly seriously ill. She hurriedly said: "Come in quickly, I will ask a doctor to examine the child..."
Xie Qi said in embarrassment: "There is no need to call a doctor."
After a cup of tea.
Ning Yan coaxed the noisy child who wanted to sleep, and looked at the Xie Qi couple in front of her with helplessness and amusement: "You are looking for me just for this matter? It's just the two older ones, how can you bring this little one too?
, do you want to leave it to me to raise?"
The two older ones have learned to read, speak clearly, speak well, and have clear eyes. They are much more spiritual than Xie Qi.
But small...
I can't even pronounce "father" and "mother" clearly.
Ning Yan held her for a while, with glistening drool hanging from the corners of her mouth, and her eyelids were half-closed and drooped.
He looked like he was sleepy but still trying to stay awake.
After hearing Ning Yan's teasing, Xie Qi just wanted to cover his face, with a bit of pleading in his voice: "If you don't come, this family will be broken up."
For the sake of family harmony, we can't wait until tomorrow.
Ning Yan looked at Mrs. Xie Qi, who had a resolute look on her face, and let out a sigh. She was also a mother, so how could she not know the other person's urgent thoughts? She said: "Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans. This
I can relate to my feelings.”
If not for this, she would not have used decisive methods to unite Wen Xin. Only women can resonate with this feeling. If she was given another chance, she would still choose this way.
"Tu Nan, what do you mean..." Mrs. Xie Qi suddenly opened her eyes wide, filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.
Ning Yan nodded: "It is not difficult to accept a disciple."
She is the dean of the college and has many students. There is no problem in adding two more students. The only problem is——
Ning Yan's eyes turned to Xie Qi himself.
"Shizang, have you thought about it?"
Xie Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I have thought about it, but you know my level of ability, I am not a great talent."
His talent has grown from mediocre to great. He is ordinary and cannot be compared with a young talent like Yan An Ningyan. Among the students of Yan Master, Xie Qi can only be ranked at the back of the middle. However, Master Yan said that he has a down-to-earth personality and can feel at ease.
It is enough to seek benefit for the people.
His original plan was to move to a remote place to practice hard and accumulate experience step by step. Who knows that Xin Guo was destroyed when he said it would be destroyed? Zheng Qiao, who was in charge, had a perverted desire for control.
It is to act as a hostage.
If only Ning Yan could count on him...
Xie Qi can only say that it will disappoint the other party.
Ning Yan disapproved and said, "Why belittle yourself?"
No matter how mediocre Xie Qi's talent is, he is still a literary scholar who has received a complete and orthodox education. Isn't he the normal subordinate that the lord dreams of? He has a down-to-earth character. Back then, he got into a gang fight and was punished by copying books, so Xie Qi copied them one stroke at a time.
You know, even Xingning used small tricks.
Xie Qi didn't know what Ning Yan was complaining about, so he cupped his hands and thanked her: "In that case, I would like to ask Tunan to help introduce me."
Ning Yan tested the bones of Xie Qi's two daughters: "Shi Zang, your two daughters' bones are much better than yours."
There was a bit of surprise in the words.
Xie Qi nodded: "Yes, it's much better."
Because of this, he has always regretted that his two daughters are not boys. It is not that he dislikes their gender, but it is a pity that their talents can only be wasted. Now that everything has turned around, it has solved a lifelong regret in the hearts of the couple.
Ning Yan looked at the two new students lovingly. Her parents hurriedly sent her two talented students and were grateful to her. She did not take advantage of the advantage: "If you want to become a disciple, you should be more serious. I will invite you tomorrow."
My lord is here to watch the ceremony."
Xie Qi understood what Ning Yan meant: "Okay."
Although the students in the college are all students of Ning Yan, the inheritance of masters and apprentices in this era is closer than ever. Ning Yan officially accepts her disciples, and the two students are the successors of her mantle. They are nominally equivalent to her daughters, more like blood relatives than
Blood relatives.
Inviting the lord to observe the ceremony is also a sign of solemnity.
Shen Tang really gave me face.
She looked at Ning Yan and then at the two students.
He asked: "Change your household registration?"
It only counts if the household registration is moved to her jurisdiction.
Ning Yan said: "Naturally."
When Shen Tang heard that Xie Qi brought his family and asked Ning Yan to accept him as a disciple in the middle of the night, Shen Tang looked strange for a moment and asked Ning Yan in a low voice: "Xie Shizang... he should be normal, right?"
Ning Yan also whispered: "He has no way of being a scribe."
Because Xie Qi's talent and understanding are very average, and he lacks some luck, it is normal that he does not have the skills of a scribe.
However, Shen Tang was surprised for a moment after hearing this.
"No?"
Ning Yan said: "The way of scribes is not common."
Shen Tang scratched his nose: "Yuanliang and the others misled me."
Because Qishan and several others were all literati, and each one was more deceptive than the other, Shen Tang had the misconception that the scribes were widespread. In fact, the proportion of literati with scribes was low. Ning Yan did not know her
She was worried that Shen Tang would despise Xie Qi because of this. Although Xie Qi was mediocre in talent, his mind was very sharp, and he was worried that he would misunderstand.
So Ning Yan added another sentence: "My lord, although Xie Shizang is not good at military formations and tactics, he is quite knowledgeable about government affairs."
In short, Xie Qi doesn't like to waste time on the battlefield.
A traditional literary scholar.
When Shen Tang heard this, his eyes lit up several times.
He clapped his hands and said, "This is exactly the talent we are in urgent need of!"
There are not many people in Shen Tang's office who like to handle official documents. Luan Xin is barely one of them, but his reaction is slow. It's hard to tell whether he really loves official work or because he is too slow to refuse. Now that Xie Qi has come, he still doesn't deceive the lord at all.
of.
Her favorability towards Xie Qi skyrocketed.
At this time, Xie Qi was nervously thinking about how to make a contribution and quickly stood firm when he caught Shen Tang's loving gaze.
Thank you: "......???"
Although they are two daughters, Xie Qi and his wife did not fail to educate them. When they were apprenticed, they behaved well, which made the people watching the ceremony a little jealous: "Although the two girls are not as talented as Lingde, they are still very rare. Tunan
Good luck..."
Ning Yan smiled and said, "Do you want to give me a break?"
Xun Zhen waved her hand: "A gentleman does not take away what others like."
Mrs. Xie Qi, who was watching the ceremony, was very competitive. When she heard that her daughter was not as good as others, she couldn't help but stretch her ears and secretly inquire about who Ling De was. When she was told that Ling De was also a female queen, with a second-grade Wenxin in the upper middle, she secretly felt
Imagine how high your daughter's literary skills will be. She will definitely not be much worse than Lingde...
When Ning Yan drank the apprenticeship tea, she straightened her back.
When her two daughters become successful, she will take them back to the Xie family to show off to those gossipy and cunning people.
Who says the daughter she gave birth to cannot be good?
Ning Yan: "Shizang also has a little daughter, who is too young to see her roots. But I think three sisters from the same mother will not be much different when they grow up. Hanzhang can wait."
Xun Zhen was also very considerate and booked a student.
Hearing this, Xie Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He tightened his sleeves and went through what he had prepared in the middle of the night last night, and then he felt relieved when he was sure it was correct. Unexpectedly, a pair of eyes paused on him for several seconds while watching the ceremony.
interest.
At the end of the apprenticeship ceremony, Ning Yan hosted a banquet for the guests.
Shen Tang also stayed for a meal.
Before he had even taken two steps, he saw Gu Chi approaching.
The other person was in a great mood, with a smile on his lips.
Shen Tang asked: "Did you pick up money when you went out today?"
Gu Chi: "The one who picked up the money was not Chi, but the Lord."
Shen Tang followed his meaningful gaze and looked over: "You mean Shi Zang? Well, I did find the money."
Her shabby company has been running for four or five years, and this is the first time that HR has hired a normal scribe. Unless the situation was wrong, she would laugh three times.
Look, her luck isn't that bad either.
Could it be because Kang Jishou, the god of plague, is not here?
Gu Chi smiled mysteriously: "More than that."
According to the thinking of orthodox scribes, anyone who wants to defect to a new lord must show some real skills, or have enough leverage to impress the other party and win their favor. Otherwise, he will easily be ignored by Xue Zang. Since Xie Qi is an orthodox scribe, it is natural for him to do so.
Shen Tang was curious: "More than that?"
He said: "What bride doesn't have any dowry?"
Shen Tang: "..."
Good guy, she is now "three wives and four concubines"???
Shen Tang looked at Gu Chi with a somewhat strange look. Gu Chi said shamelessly, "Chi followed the master and started from a young age."
He has worked diligently and managed government affairs for so many years, and his ministers have lived through hard times together. What kind of "dowry" are they talking about?
Shen Tang said: "Oh, the wife of chaff."
Gu Chi's face was thicker than Shen Tang imagined: "The wife of the chaff is also a wife, one of the three wives, as long as she is not a concubine."
Shen Tang: "..."
She really wanted to ask who the three wives were???
The apprenticeship ceremony was just a side dish, and the real feast was yet to come. With the help of Ning Yan, Shen Tang and Xie Qi met in private. Because both parties were interesting, the atmosphere was very harmonious. It was only Gu Chi's jokes that made Shen Tang Very dramatic.
She inexplicably felt that she was on a blind date.
"What is this?"
Shen Tang silently put away his messy thoughts and looked at the object presented by the thank you. It should be a map.
Xie Qi said: "The granary of Qianzhou is located."
