Sheng Jinyue endured it again and again, and finally showed a smile: "Then I wish cousin Mingxi a good start and win the first place in the exam!"
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!
Xie Mingxi glanced at Sheng Jinyue, who had a stiff smile and tried to show her closeness, and said with a smile: "I also wish cousin Jinyue that everything goes well and that she can pass the second-class exam tomorrow."
Sheng Jinyue: "..."
Sheng Jinyue was almost furious, and she couldn't squeeze out the smile on her face.
Fortunately, Xie Mingxi didn't seem to notice her stiff expression and turned her head to talk to Lin Weiwei.
Sheng Jinyue breathed out the turbid air in her chest deeply and laughed ferociously in her heart.
Xie Mingxi, just wait for me!
…
In the evening, Xie Mingxi returned to Xie's Mansion.
Now that there are more people like Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie, the inner house of Xie Mansion is much more lively than before.
After Xie Mingxi and Xie Yuanting returned home, they first came to pay their respects to Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xu.
Although they have not been in front of him for so many years, they are his biological grandchildren after all. The balance in Mr. Xie's heart quickly tilted, and he asked kindly: "Yuan Ting, Ming Niang, you two will take the monthly exam tomorrow. Review your homework."
How's it going?"
Xie Yuanting rushed to answer: "Grandpa, my grandson has been studying until he was a child. I think he will definitely get a first-class exam this time!"
Mr. Xie nodded with satisfaction and looked at Xie Mingxi again.
Xie Mingxi laughed casually and said: "In terms of diligence, I am far less than my elder brother. Every night, I will practice in the practice room for an hour and then go to sleep."
"There is no problem in getting an A grade in this monthly exam. I will try to come back first and bring glory to my grandfather!"
Xie Yuanting: "..."
What he hates most is Xie Mingxi's confident look!
I immersed myself in studying hard, wishing I could hang my head and stab my butt. My biggest wish was to take the A-level exam! And Xie Mingxi, she was the first when she opened her mouth...
"Okay, okay!" Xie Mingxi, who has outstanding talent, is naturally more likable. Mr. Xie laughed loudly: "Ming Niang is so ambitious, she is worthy of the blood of our Xie family!"
Mrs. Xu smiled and interjected: "My old lady has lived a long life, and she has never seen a girl as smart as Ming Niang. It must be the blessing of the Xie family ancestors. In the future, Ming Niang will be able to revitalize Xie.
Family family."
It had been several days since she had settled in Xie's Mansion. Princess Yongning had not shown up again except for the first day. Xie Jun was lukewarm towards Xu and others. Xie Yuanting even disliked Xu's vulgarity and ignored her.
Only Xie Mingxi was as close and respectful to Mrs. Xu as she was to a real grandmother. She was also very friendly to everyone in the second house. She often gave food, drink, clothing and other things to Xie Lanxi, her three siblings.
The Xu family took over the Xie family's inner house, but the time was still short, and Aunt Ding made stumbling blocks from time to time, so it didn't go smoothly. Fortunately, Xie Mingxi made some suggestions in private and recommended some reliable servants, which saved the Xu family.
A lot of trouble.
Xu's heart is naturally biased towards Xie Mingxi!
This sounds pleasant to the ears.
Mr. Xie gave Mrs. Xu a rare smile: "That makes sense."
Mrs. Xu was devoted to Mr. Xie back then. Firstly, it was because Mr. Xie was good at coaxing people. Secondly, it was because of Mr. Xie’s handsome face. Now that Mr. Xie is older, he is not as handsome as when he was young. However, among his peers,
He is still handsome.
This smile made Xu family feel mixed emotions and sigh.
She hadn't seen Mr. Xie smile at her for a long time.
Xie Mingxi's smiling voice rang in her ears: "I have inherited my grandmother's good words. I also look forward to one day becoming successful and benefiting my family."
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Then we'll be waiting to take advantage of it."
Mrs. Xu's face was covered with wrinkles, and when she smiled, the wrinkles kept shaking, and it was hard to see where they were.
Xie Yuanting looked at it and it was dazzling. It was even more harsh when he heard Mr. Xu praising Xie Mingxi repeatedly. He couldn't help but sneered: "It's ridiculous for grandma to say such things."
"Ming Niang is a woman, no matter how well she studies, she can't take the imperial examination and become an official. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to talk about revitalizing the family? Grandma, it's okay to talk about it at home. If there are outsiders, it's better to pay attention to avoid it.
It’s a shame to be laughed at.”
To revitalize the Xie family, it should be him, Xie Yuanting!
…
The contempt in Xie Yuanting's eyes clearly showed.
Even Xie Yuanwei, the youngest, knew clearly that his eldest cousin looked down upon Mrs. Xu and the second wife of the Xie family.
Mrs. Xu was even more angry after hearing this.
This bastard! Before his fur has even grown, he acts like a wolf with a big tail! He is far worse than Xie Jun back then!
Before Xie Jun rose to prominence, he would lie low and pretend to be filial. Xie Yuanting had no ability at all, but he had eyes on the top of his head! Bah! Dog eyes look down upon others!
Mrs. Xu was not someone to be trifled with. She immediately turned to Mr. Xie and sighed with shame on her face: "I am an old woman with no knowledge and can't speak. No wonder Yuan Ting dislikes her."
No matter how unbearable the Xu family is, they are still the continuation of Mrs. Xie. As a junior, Xie Yuanting disrespects the Xu family, but he does not take Mr. Xie seriously.
As expected, Mr. Xie's face darkened and he glared at Xie Yuanting: "You bastard! How dare you talk to your grandmother like this! Have you read all these years in vain? Don't you even understand the love of filial piety, brotherhood, and brotherhood?"
Xie Yuanting was so scolded that he had to lower his head and admit his mistake: "My grandson knows he was wrong!"
Old Master Xie snorted coldly, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The considerate Xie Mingxi said: "Grandpa, there is no need to be angry. It is always a good thing that the eldest brother has the idea of revitalizing the family. Although the eldest brother's talent in reading is mediocre and far inferior to mine, he is better than me by working hard. It is not necessarily impossible to obtain fame. Eight years in ten years
Years, or twenty years, you can always pass the exam."
Xie Yuanting: "..."
Sooner or later, Xie Mingxi will be so angry that she vomits blood!
Xie Yuanting glared at Xie Mingxi and said through gritted teeth: "Xie Mingxi, don't bully others too much!"
Xie Mingxi looked innocent: "When did I bully you? I was clearly encouraging you just now! The road to the imperial examination is inherently difficult. Just like my grandfather, he passed the examination as a scholar at a young age, but then stopped in the imperial examination due to bad luck. It's a pity.
I have learned a lot, but I have not been able to show my talents by becoming an official."
"It can be seen that if you want to take the imperial examination, you must not only have talent and learning, but also have luck."
After hearing this, Mr. Xie relaxed his brows.
People who do not succeed in the imperial examination will never admit that they are not talented enough. The words "bad luck" sound particularly pleasant to the ears.
Mr. Xie became more and more pleased with Xie Mingxi.
So smart, so considerate, she deserves to be his granddaughter!
As for Xie Yuanting, he has high ambitions but low ambitions, is arrogant and shallow-minded. He even harbors jealousy and resentment towards his own sister.
Just relying on Xie Yuanting, trying to revitalize the Xie family is simply a fool's dream.
It is better to hope that Xie Mingxi will marry into a good family and support her mother's family in the future!
