Xie Jun had outstanding talent and became a scholar at the age of fourteen. After that, he became a disciple of the most famous Confucian scholar in Lin'an City.
Studying is the most expensive thing in the world. The Xu family's family fortune was depleted a lot by Xie Jun's studying in the past few years. Becoming a disciple of a great Confucian scholar, and being a scholar, is even more astonishing.
As the stepmother, Mrs. Xu was extremely benevolent to Xie Jun. She gritted her teeth and gave away her entire family fortune for Xie Jun to continue his studies.
Facts have proved that Xu's choice was right.
Xie Jun passed the imperial examination at the age of seventeen, and passed the imperial examination at the age of eighteen. He rose to the top and shone brightly in the Xie family. The fourth-rank minister of Honglu Temple was not eye-catching among the officials in the capital. But in Lin'an, he was extraordinary. of senior officials.
Furthermore, Xie Jun is also the son-in-law of the Huainan Palace. This title is much more glamorous than a fourth-grade official.
Xie Jun is in the capital, but fortunately Mr. Xie is still in Lin'an. If you can't curry favor with the younger ones, it's the same with the older ones. Lin'an officials, big and small, are vying to interact with Mr. Xie.
Mr. Xie was very proud and lived a very comfortable life.
The disgraceful past events of those days are no longer mentioned.
Mr. Xie calmly took the filial piety pension money that his eldest son sent back every year, and had nothing to do to drink, listen to music, and admire the actors. I don't know how happy it is!
In the past ten years or so, Mr. Xie has never been to the capital.
Xie Jun was willing to bring his biological father to the capital to enjoy the blessings. But when he thought of the Xu family, mother and son, he was filled with resentment. He simply left Mr. Xie in Lin'an.
Mrs. Xu wanted to come to the capital to broaden her horizons. However, Xie Jun didn't open his mouth, and Mrs. Xu was helpless. In private, she would have to scold him a few times.
After all, he is not his biological son, so no matter how hard he tries, it will be useless.
As soon as Xie Jun became successful, he left his stepmother and his unrelated second brother behind. There was quite a lot of money sent back every year, but it was all given to Mr. Xie.
The Xu mother and her son could only live their lives clinging to Mr. Xie.
…
When mentioning his biological father, Xie Jun had a complex expression: "Your grandfather lived a happy life in Lin'an, so he may not be willing to come to the capital."
Aren't you free and at ease?
The eldest son has a promising future, passed the exam and became an official. He is also the son-in-law of the Huainan Palace. Who in Lin'an City would not look highly at Mr. Xie?
When you arrive in the capital, you may not be as comfortable as in Lin'an. Mr. Xie also knows this very well. Therefore, he has never mentioned coming to the capital for retirement.
Xie Yuanting couldn't help but interject: "Grandpa just stays in Lin'an for retirement, why bother coming to the capital."
By the way, Xie Yuanting also deeply hated the Xie family's disgraceful past, and wished that Mr. Xie would never show up again.
Xie Mingxi didn't even look at Xie Yuanting, and whispered to Xie Jun: "Actually, I wrote a private letter to Lin'an more than half a month ago. Counting the time, my grandfather has already accepted my letter, packed his bags and came to the capital. Already."
Xie Jun: "..."
Xie Yuanting: "..."
The coldness and ruthlessness inherited from the men of the Xie family are clearly evident on the faces of Xie Jun and his son.
"Xie Mingxi!" Xie Yuanting gritted his teeth and said angrily: "How can you make the decision on such a big matter without authorization? Even if you want to invite your grandfather to come to the capital, you should discuss it with your father and wait for his approval to write a letter in person! How dare you write a letter in private? Where does that leave my father?”
Xie Yuanting, who was deceived one after another, has made great progress in his IQ. He is now able to use Xie Jun's face as a banner.
Xie Jun was also quite angry and looked at Xie Mingxi intently: "Ming Niang, what are you planning?"
Xie Mingxi showed a slightly helpless smile: "Father, calm down and wait for me to explain slowly."
"More than half a month ago, I was forced to take the exam as a substitute. To be honest with my father, I was angry and sad. I was even more heartbroken by my aunt's cruelty and ruthlessness."
"The princess bullies others with power, and even my father doesn't pay attention to it. It's just because my father has no elders to support him. After much thought, I decided to invite my grandfather to Beijing."
"With my grandparents here, it is no longer the princess's turn to take charge of the Xie family. From now on, my father will be able to live a more comfortable and leisurely life."
Xie Jun's brows relaxed slightly.
Xie Yuanting snorted coldly: "That sounds nice. If you really thought about your father, how could you hide such a big thing? You should have told your father a long time ago."
This makes sense. Xie Junshu’s brows furrowed again.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Xie Yuanting, who was fanning the flames: "My eldest brother opposed it so fiercely. Is it because he doesn't want to see his grandparents?"
Xie Yuanting was choked and speechless.
How could such a thing be said directly...it would be enough to understand it from the heart. He didn't believe it. Xie Mingxi was willing to recognize a woman who had been a prostitute as her grandmother, and she was willing to call a man who was not related by blood as her second uncle!
After cleaning up Xie Yuanting, Xie Mingxi looked at Xie Jun again with sincere eyes: "Everything I did was for my father's consideration. I didn't dare to tell my father that day because I was afraid that the princess would find out and stop her."
"Father values filial piety most. He has not had time to return to Lin'an for so many years, and he must miss his grandfather very much. In a few days, we will be able to reunite as a family. Isn't father happy?"
So happy... shit!
Xie Jun's mouth twitched slightly.
The letter has been written, my father, stepmother and stepbrother have already set off, and now it is too late to stop them.
That’s it! Come on, come on!
My father is very old and has never been to the capital. He has never even met his grandchildren.
Xie Jun calmly said: "If you encounter trouble in the future, you must not act in vain. You must tell me clearly and let me make the decision."
Xie Mingxi returned to her docile and obedient appearance: "Yes, father."
…
Xie Jun, full of worries, left, and Xie Yuanting, full of anger, went back to the courtyard to study hard by the light of the lamp.
Xie Mingxi took a shower and changed clothes, and went to bed in a good mood.
In his previous life, Mr. Xie lived to be over seventy years old, which is considered a long life. However, he never came to the capital. In this life, let Mr. Xie lead Xu Xian and his stepson's family to the capital!
The large number of people and the muddy water will add more trouble to Princess Yongning and leave Xie Jun with a headache! Aunt Ding will never be able to take charge of the Xie family's inner house again. Xie Yuanting and Xie Yunxi must also have a profound experience facing their grandparents from Lin'an.
Thinking about it, I’m really looking forward to it!
Xie Mingxi, who had eaten well and slept well, got up energetically the next morning. After breakfast, she went to the concierge of Xie Mansion to wait.
Xie Yuanting, who stayed up until midnight, saw his eyes covered with green shadows and yawned all the way.
"Brother, you are really hardworking!" The annoying girl's voice sounded with a smile.
Compared to his lack of energy, Xie Mingxi is so refreshing that people hate him.
Xie Yuanting glared at Xie Mingxi fiercely, walked out of the house with a sullen face, got on the carriage and hurried to the academy.
Seeing that you are having a hard time, I am really having a good time!
Xie Mingxi curled her lips and smiled happily.
After waiting for a while, the Lin Mansion's carriage arrived. Xie Mingxi stepped out of the gate of Xie Mansion with a smile. When she saw the young man in blue shirt riding a horse beside the carriage, she smiled slightly.
