Chapter 364 is Yangmou

Linjiang City, Xie's family.

Liu Qinbing took out a rectangular flat box from his rucksack.

Opened the lid of the box, and inside was a stencil soaked in ink, which had been used countless times.

Liu Qinbing took a special brush and brushed a thin layer of ink with ease, then took a piece of rice paper and stuck it on the lid of the box, covered it on the wooden board, and pressed it with his hand.When it is opened again, a new grain collection receipt is formed.

Shen Liuzhen held back his sleeves, took the blank receipt and shook it gently, put it on the desk, picked up the pen, and carefully filled in a few words in the blank space - Linjiang City Xie.

Father Xie watched him write and said:
"My little things, a drop in the bucket, are not enough for you to make such a trip."

Shen Liuzhen didn't look up, and said with a smile while writing: "Teacher, you don't have to blame yourself. It's already a great achievement for the Xie family to get out. If you want to dispel those people's doubts and be more active, I don't want to think about how my own family can do it? It doesn't matter how much it is." .”

Xie Yun looked at Shen Liuzhen's earnestness in doing things, and heard him say "my family", and felt relieved in his heart. He felt that the Xie family had successors, and the burden in his heart was much lighter.

But from the three words in his mouth, he had to think of Xie Yuan.

Father Xie's gratified expression turned into sadness, and he sighed and said, "Hey... I don't know how A Yuan is doing in the capital. We could write to your father before and ask about Xie Yuan's situation. , Later when your father arrived in the capital, many people came to Jiangcheng to inquire about Xie Yuan, so we didn't dare to ask any more, for fear that something would be revealed and her life would be killed."

After Shen Liuzhen finished writing, he took out a small purse from his arms, took out a jade seal, put it on the blank space, and said:
"Okay, the official seal will be sent to the palace. After the queen has a look, it will be stamped with the official seal. It will be in duplicate, and the other copy will be sent to you later."

"Well, that's fine. Anything is fine." Father Xie responded perfunctorily, not caring much.

Shen Liuzhen installed the seal, with a smile in his eyes, and said:

"Doesn't the teacher know? The emperor has made A Yuan a son-in-law, so she can save her life, don't worry."

Father Xie heard that his melancholy face suddenly twitched his eyebrows, looked at Shen Liuzhen awkwardly, and said in a low voice:
"This is what I'm most afraid of... Did the Emperor of Song really know that A Yuan is a girl? If he knew, why did he still let her be his son-in-law? If he didn't know, wouldn't it be more troublesome if he was exposed later? ?”

Shen Liuzhen also moved closer to him, and said in a low voice:

"His Majesty the Emperor of Song really knows. I asked Xie Yuan last time. That Princess Huaizhen also knows. Don't worry.

The reason why the emperor of the Song Dynasty did this was because he didn't want to use A Yuan, but he was afraid that Xie Yuan, a typical example of invigorating the army, would fall, so he took advantage of the situation to make such a plan. "

Father Xie felt much relieved when he heard that, sat back again, put his sleeves in his hands and sighed: "It's okay if it's like this... It's just that when your teacher's mother and I think about this incident, we always feel that the strange talk is absurd, like a dream."

Shen Liuzhen also laughed when he heard that, touched his nose in embarrassment, and said:

"When I was young, A Yuan often said that she would become a high official in the future, marry a wife and have children, and carry on the family line of Xie's Guangyao family. She would be no worse than me. Now, except that she can't have children, everything has come true."

Father Xie didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard it, and looked outside the hall with a distorted expression. After a while, he said with a sad expression:
"It would be great if she was really a son. Where will your teacher's wife and I have any regrets in this life?"

Shen Liuzhen's pupils flickered, and he understood in his heart: many worries and sufferings of the teacher and his wife were all caused by Xie Yuan being a girl.If Xie Yuan was a man, everything would be different.

"Teacher... It's destined to be like this. In fact, it's pretty good now, so don't worry about it." Shen Liuzhen finally said it.

Father Xie came to his senses, and said with a smile: "That's right...it's God's will, I don't want too much, just ask her to be safe and sound."

At this time, Mother Xie came in with someone, and Shen Liuzhen hurriedly walked on the chair and stood up to say hello:
"Teacher."

"Liu Zhen, these are the clothes I made for A Yuan. If you can see her next time, bring them to her for me." Mother Xie's expression was vicissitudes, and her face was very tired.

Shen Liuzhen quickly took the burden from the handmaid's hand with both hands, and asked with concern:

"Master, have you stayed up late again to rush clothes for A Yuan? ... She must have clothes to wear, you have to pay attention to your body."

Mother Xie turned to the side and sat down, and said with a sad expression:
"She's not around. As a mother, I can only do so little for her."

Speaking of which, she raised her head, showed a loving smile to Shen Liuzhen, and said:

"There is also one of your big-sleeved shirts inside. I got two pieces of Shu brocade not long ago. The style is very beautiful, and it is just suitable for men's clothing.

I made one for both you and A Yuan. A Yuan’s is a round-neck gown with tufted sleeves, and yours is a double-breasted shirt with large sleeves.I've seen you, and it definitely fits me well, but I don't know if A Yuan's fit... I don't know how much taller she has grown. "

When Shen Liuzhen heard that, his glistening eyes shone brightly, he was very moved, and said softly:

"There is still my... teacher's wife, I have someone to make clothes for me, you don't have to work so hard."

Mother Xie said with a smile: "Others were made by others, how can they be the same as mine."

Father Xie also persuaded him, saying: "It's okay, she can't help but think wildly when she is free, now making clothes for you will make you feel better, so just keep it."

Shen Liuzhen grabbed the leather of the bundle, feeling a little heavy, and handed it to Liu Qinbing carefully, letting him put it in his bag.

Xie's mother watched Liu Qinbing pack his bags, with a longing look on his face, and asked in a low voice:

"Is there any chance to see A Yuan in the future?"

As soon as the words came out, Father Xie spoke first, his tone was very helpless, but still very gentle, and said:

"Ma'am, you're here again, didn't you agree? As long as she can live safely now, nothing else is extravagant. How many eyes are staring at her now, how much risk will it take to come home?"

Xie Mu sat upright and turned her body slightly, not wanting Shen Liuzhen to see her gaffe, she raised her hand and gently wiped her eye sockets, and said:
"I know... I just can't help but think about her and say something."

When Father Xie heard this, he could only sigh dejectedly: "Hey..."

Shen Liuzhen pursed his lips, and said aloud: "Teacher, teacher's wife, I may see A Yuan soon, why don't you write a letter, and I will ask her to write back a letter and bring it back."

"Will it not be exposed? Will it be dangerous?" Father Xie asked quickly.

Shen Liuzhen smiled, revealing the dimples on his face, and said:
"I'm going to see her, but what the emperors of the two countries have agreed to is a conspiracy, and I'm not afraid of being exposed."
