Chapter 199: Hasty Closure

Xie Hang raised his arm and clenched his fist.

It seems that it cannot achieve what Li Yuening said, that is, to conquer people with force.

Looking at Xie Shi's straight back again, Xie Hang secretly straightened his chest, trying to make his back look more majestic.

Thinking about what he was doing, Xie Hang quickly lowered his head to cover himself.

The three of them walked with their backs to the sun. Li Yuening saw Xie Hang's movements from his shadow.

She pursed her lips and motioned for Xie Shi beside her to look.

Xie Shi, "Where's the fifth brother?"

Xie Hang, "I heard from my second brother that he went to look for you. Didn't he ask you to come?"

And by chance, I helped him out of the predicament.

"No, we heard about it from the servants. We wanted to take a shortcut to Luozhi Garden.

I heard the quarrel at the gate from a distance, so I came around to take a look. "Xie Shi finished speaking and asked,

"That fat nanny is the one who works for the lady of the master's house.

It seems that I have been causing a lot of trouble these days. You must have suffered a lot, right?"

Xie Hang was stunned. He didn't expect that his third brother cared about him.

Xie Hang usually stayed in his own courtyard to study and rarely participated in the affairs of the mansion.

However, I heard my fifth brother often complaining about the excessive behavior of the head of the family, which made me very angry.

"I'm fine, but I'm afraid that Fifth Brother's temper may have caused him to run into a lot of obstacles.

He also said that he would talk to you in detail when you come back." The sudden concern made Xie Hang feel a little awkward, and he could only use Xie Yi as a shield.

"Well, I did say a lot of things. When Grandpa's matter is settled,

We are about to set off to the northwest.

What are your plans?

What do you think of the rock and soil that Lao Wu brought back last time? "Xie Shi asked several questions in a row.

Xie Hang was not prepared at all, and stammered, "Third brother, do you think I will never have the chance to take the imperial examination in this lifetime?"

Regarding the migration, the imperial court exempted those who settled in the northwest from taxes and labor service for three years. All scholars would retain their student status, and special examinations might be added later.

Xie Shi, "If you want to take the imperial examination, you can't lose your books, you just need to live in a different place.

They are all citizens of the Great Jin Dynasty. Your Majesty will not ignore them.

Moreover, your third sister-in-law and I have already met the King of Han in his fiefdom,

He is a wise ruler, and you will have the opportunity to meet him in the future."

Xie Shi did not promise Xie Hang anything, but only told him that as long as one is determined, there are opportunities for scholars everywhere.

Xie Hang was surprised, "What? You have also met the Lord of the fiefdom?

When did it happen? I don’t even know.”

"You are oblivious to what is happening outside, and you don't even know what is happening in the mansion.

Do you know what we do?" Li Yuening doesn't like people who study too hard.

Xie Hang pinched his sleeve awkwardly.

"Your third brother asked you about geotechnical engineering. What do you think?"

Xie Hang hadn't recovered from the shock just now. When he heard Li Yuening's words, he asked blankly: "Is that from the third brother to the fifth brother?"

"What else do you think? Lao Wu has guaranteed that salt can be extracted." Li Yuening's voice became much softer as she spoke.

Xie Hang looked around and saw no one around, then he said, "There is a way, but there is too little rock and soil.

If repeated trials are not enough, Brother San, you can get some more salty rock soil.

I'm sure I can find the salt."

Li Yuening, "That's right. When you study, you have to put what you learn into practice. Otherwise, it's just empty talk and you lose the original purpose of studying."

Li Yuening's words hit Xie Hang's heart like a heavy hammer. He felt like he was slapped in the face, and his face felt hot and numb.

When Xie Hang was pestered by Xie Yi to find Gu Fang, he just thought he was playing house with Xie Yi.

In order to get rid of him, Xie Hang didn't put much thought into it.

Now when I think about how happy Lao Wu was when he found the prescription, it was just like how happy and satisfied he was when he solved the strategy.

He studied only to catch up with his elder brother Xie Zhan, to achieve fame and honor earlier, and to bring honor to his parents. Has this lost the original purpose of studying?

Xie Hangdun stayed where he was. Li Yuening and Xie Shi walked a long way away, but no one followed them.

Li Yuening shook her head, "I don't know which sentence is so profound and difficult to understand.

It can stump your great talent."

"Let's focus on the present." Xie Shi finished speaking.

The two of them stepped into Luozhi Garden. Many servants and maids gathered in the yard. The maids had white flowers on their hair and the boys had white cloth wrapped around their waists. They faced the main wing and knelt on the ground crying.

Li Yuening and Xie Shi entered the room. Xie Lin had already been put into the coffin. At this moment, Xie An was preparing to close the coffin.

Xie Shi stepped forward to stop them, "No one is here yet, and we haven't seen the old man off for the last time, how can you close the coffin so hastily?"

Xie An saw that it was Xie Shi, "Why are you here? You have nothing to do here, get out of the way."

Xie Shi noticed that Xie An's expression was a little strange.

Li Yuening said: "We are now the head of the family. Now that Grandpa Xie has passed away, we should send him off.

Uncle Xie is so impatient to put Grandpa Xie in the coffin, is there something he doesn't want others to know?"

Xie An's behavior was too abnormal. Li Yuening winked at Xie Shi.

Xie Shi understood, "I want to take one last look at Grandpa, please give me some convenience."

Xie An, "Now that you know your identity, you are no longer a member of the Xie family.

From now on, you have nothing to do with the Xie family."

"That won't do, Uncle Xie. The letter of appointment given by Grandpa Xie says that I am a descendant of the Xie family.

The official seal was also stamped by the descendants of the Xie family. Now you want to drive Xie away, what should I do? "Li Yuening became more suspicious.

Xie Lin was afraid that if they left, no one would take care of the Xie family, but Xie An wanted to drive them away. What happened?

"Obey your husband, and go with him.

I will leave Xie's house today."

Li Yuening took out Xie Lin's private seal from her sleeve and waved it in front of Xie An's eyes, enough for him to see it clearly, before putting it away.

Xie An looked everywhere for this private seal, but couldn't find it. How come it was in Li Yuening's hand? Xie An, "How...how come this private seal is here with you?"

Li Yuening, "Of course your father gave it to me personally.

Before Grandpa Xie passed away, he gave me the Xie family's private seal and asked me to be the head of the family.

I promised him that I would send everyone to the northwest safely.

Uncle Xie, we will leave when the time comes without you having to chase us away.

You're letting me go now?

I’m afraid it’s going to be difficult.”

After Li Yuening finished speaking, people from the second room came in behind her. They only heard Li Yuening say that Xie An wanted to drive them away.

Xie Fan stepped forward and said, "Uncle, you want to drive my third brother and his wife away just after grandpa left. This is really inappropriate."

Besides, how would the young couple survive if they left the Xie family?

Xie An stared at Li Yuening and said, "Take out the private seal. This thing does not belong to you."

"It doesn't belong to me? Does it belong to you? Why would Grandpa Xie rather trust an outsider like me?

You don’t even believe in you, your own son?

Uncle Xie, have you ever thought about why?" Li Yuening took out the small seal from her sleeve again and provoked Xie An.

Xie Fan saw the seal, which he had seen his grandfather use before.

He looked at Xie An. Could this be what his uncle was looking for?

Xie An, "When did you steal it?"

Seeing that Li Yuening was unwilling to give it, Xie An changed his words.

"Steal? I don't know if a small private seal can make Uncle Xie use the word "steal" to convict me?

To tell you the truth, in addition to this private seal, the old man also gave me something else.

It's just that I've been busy organizing the house these days and haven't had time to tell you." Li Yuening faced everyone's curious gazes,

He took out the contract written by Baili Xun from his sleeve.

“This Xie Mansion and all its properties have been sold to the Baili Mansion.

So, Uncle Xie, are you still going to argue with me about this private seal?"
