After the imperial examinations, I grew up by farming

Chapter 21
When we arrived at Xie Mansion, it would be late.

The birthday banquet for Mrs. Xie's [-]th birthday ended in the afternoon, and the stream of guests had dispersed.

Unable to enter the gate, the group walked around to the back door in the southwest corner. It is said that the eldest son of the Xie family usually enters through this door when he returns late, and the concierge and the eldest son of the Xie family can also exchange a few words.

The gatekeeper is an old man.

On the left side of the dark brown door leaf, there is an old rocking chair, and the porter old god is lying on it with his eyes closed.

"Old man, old man..." Ning Yu leaned over the porter's face and called softly.

"What are you doing?" the porter moved his eyelids impatiently.

"Well-meaning old man, please send a message that Xu Ningwen from Chongqing Mansion is begging to see Mr. Xie."

The Xu family also has a property in the Huguang area, and it is managed by elder brother Xu Ningwen. Ning Yu thought that the eldest son Xie was in Huguang to store food, so he might know his elder brother Xu Ningwen, so he reported Xu Ningwen's name.

The concierge narrowed one eye, and glanced at Ning Yu, who had a friendly smile, "What's your last name?"

"Xu, two people Xu."

"Ah Shun—" the porter shouted through the door, then closed his eyes again.

The night was thick, and the twilight of the red lanterns made people feel drowsy. The boy named Ah Shun leaned against the inside of the door and dozed off.

"These people want to see the eldest son, take them in." The broken rocking chair swayed, and the concierge ordered Ah Shun to take Ning Yu and others into the courtyard.

Today is the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Xie, and the house of Xie is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and a large number of red lanterns illuminate the house as bright as day.

The waist of the corridor is unadorned, the eaves and teeth are pecked high, the rockery and flowing water, and the beautiful scenery of the garden is dizzying.

Everyone followed Ah Shun through the winding corridor.

"It's amazing, even more magnificent than our Xu Mansion." Zhiman caught up with Zhiyi in a few steps, stuck his head out from Zhiyi's back shoulder, and whispered in Zhiyi's ear.

"Walk well, don't lose your manners." Zhiyi pushed her protruding head back.

Xu Zhuang has been a dart for ten years, and has been with the great master Xu Houbing for another 20 years. After all, he is more stable. Although he is amazed in his heart, he looks calm on the surface.

Huang Chao, who had just arrived, was not so calm.

He stretched his neck, looked left and right, looked up and down, and even squatted down to touch the bricks on the ground. Xu Zhuang couldn't see it. He held on to the railing and asked the parrot sleeping in the cage. When he was eating or not, he grabbed his collar and walked forward with it.

Ning Yu was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery, she wondered if it was too easy.

Stalking, coercion, seduction, subjugation with force, night visits to Xie's house... a bunch of good tricks haven't been used yet, why did they come in?

Could this Mr. Xie be waiting for her?

Ah Shun led the people to a place and handed them over to Wang Ji, the youngest son of a porter named Wang. When Wang Ji asked Ning Yu's surname Xu, he hurriedly asked the young man to call Mr. Xie, and he led the people to Xie Da. A small hall for entertaining guests in the Prince's Courtyard.

Xie Yun had dinner in the big dining hall, and when he heard the news from the servant, he hurried back to his yard after eating a few mouthfuls of food.

Hearing footsteps, Ning Yu put down the teacup and got up.

I saw two young servants escorting a young man in brocade clothes to the door. The person who came was imposing and dignified, with a decent smile on his face. With just one glance, one could tell that he was not an inexperienced young man, but a man like him. A mature man like his elder brother Xu Ningwen.

Slightly shorter than the big brother, but much handsomer than the big brother.

The descendants of the Xu family are very good-looking, and they are well-known in the whole Chongqing. The elder brother Xu Ningwen is the prettiest in the younger generation, but this eldest son Xie is actually much more handsome than the elder brother Xu Ningwen.

First came the Second Young Master Yan, and then the First Young Master Xie.

Is it because Xu Ningyu has seen too little, or is she so lucky that she meets all good-looking men?
Xie Yun stepped into the threshold with one foot, glanced quickly at Ning Yu and the others, and knew what to expect.

Ning Yu cupped his hands, "Thank you—"

"Seventh brother, don't be too polite!"

"Seventh...seventh brother?" Ning Yu couldn't hold back when he was interrupted as soon as he said a word, and was called seventh brother affectionately.

"Your elder brother and I are friends of eight worshippers. You are his seventh younger brother, so naturally you are also my seventh younger brother."

Xie Yun held Ning Yu's forearm, lifted her up and stood still, her eyes fell on a pair of fox eyes similar to those of the sworn brothers, confirming Ning Yu's identity.

"I haven't introduced myself yet, how does Mr. Xie know that I am?" Ning Yu was still a little uncomfortable.

This Mr. Xie's eyes are too fiery.

"Haha, the seventh brother is indeed as Brother Ning Wen said, cute and pleasing, and you can be liked at a glance—" Xie Yun was in a good mood, "Don't call him Mr. Xie so born, call him Brother Xie."

It turned out that Mr. Xie really recognized his eldest brother, no wonder the concierge didn't stop him.

but……

Yes, cute?
Ning Yu's mouth twitched.

Big brother's brain grows grass?How could you describe your younger brother like that in front of outsiders? !
Worrying, neither refuting nor accepting.

I could only laugh twice to barely conceal my embarrassment.

Ning Yu laughed dryly, "Brother Xie..."

"I asked Brother Ning Wen for a portrait. Brother Ning Wen said that his seventh brother's facial features, forehead, and demeanor are all like him, as pine as bamboo, and he said that as long as I see it, I will definitely recognize it. I will still be the seventh brother, just like your brother. , the stature will be as tall as a redwood tree soaring into the sky, looking at it this way..."

Xie Yun raised his palm, and moved it straight from the top of Ning Yu's head to his chin, "In two years, I won't stand out from the crowd like my elder brother. Don't worry about being too tall to marry a lady of comparable stature."

The Xu family members are slender and tall.

The girl from the Xu family is taller than most of the men from the Southland, let alone the son of the Xu family. Wherever he goes, he is the most abrupt... the one who stands out.

For example, Ning Yu, standing in the group of classmates also belongs to the high wave.

Going out, no one will suspect that she is a female Jiao'e.

"...It's so good!" After Xie Yun finished speaking, she patted Ning Yu's head lightly a few times, just like an elder lovingly patting a junior.

Ning Yu: "..." Let's just shoot, who made her ask for anything.

Ning Yu smiled like a flower.

"The sesame roll candy from Pingjiang Mansion is very sweet, Xiaoqi will eat one." Xie Yun made another candy from his sleeve and held it to Ning Yu's mouth.

The name has also changed!
Could it be that Mr. Xie is a talented man who is close to being the number one scholar... Commonly known as social bullshit?

The dark yellow candy wrapper is in front of you, with a touch of candy sweetness and sesame aroma overflowing.

goo-dong... goo-dong...

Ning Yu's mouth began to salivate uncontrollably.

Due to physical reasons, she has not eaten sugar for many years.

Although she really wants to eat, but now she represents Xu Jiaerlang, she is still a scholar, and her family is not poor, face is very important, you can't give people the impression of being greedy, and you must not lose your position.

"Brother Xie, I won't eat—"

As soon as the word "sugar" reached his throat, he didn't see how Xie Yun used two fingers to peel off the candy wrapper in an instant, and the sweet little ball wrapped in sesame seeds was already pressed into his mouth.

"The eyes are straight, and he said he doesn't want to eat..." Across the head, Xie Yun rubbed the top of Ning Yu's head again, "Eat it, children eat more sweets and are cute."

16 year old kid...

Ning Yu felt embarrassed, and felt that Mr. Xie was too enthusiastic.

Forget it, let's eat.

Anyway, he is the sworn brother of the big brother, if she doesn't eat, the other party will be very embarrassed, if it affects the "adultery. Love" of the two "profiteers" who cherish each other, the crime will be serious.

"Is it sweet?"

Ning Yu opened his eyes wide and nodded.

"Sweet is right. My brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, none of them don't like this candy." Xie Yun was in a better mood, pulled out his left hand from behind, opened the folding fan with a beep, and smiled into a peacock with its tail open.

"Brother Xie, is there any more? I want to eat too."

The voice was abrupt and a little old... Xie Yun heard the sound and looked over, meeting Huang Chao's longing eyes.

Xie Yun raised a big smile at the corner of his mouth, stopped, and said coldly: "It's gone!"

"Stingy!" Huang Chao turned his head embarrassingly, and continued to eat snacks and drink tea.

The maids and servants of the Xie family covered their mouths and laughed in a room.

The Xu family's master and servant were so embarrassed that they wanted to dig a hole right there and get in.

This glutton hasn't stopped talking since he entered the house!

Xu Zhuang couldn't bear it anymore, he grabbed the dim sum plate in Huang Chao's hand and handed it to the maid beside him.

Huang Chao raised his buttocks, and when the curse words came to his lips, he saw Xu Zhuang's slightly raised big fist, and sat back on the chair silently.

He also said that he will fight and cover him in the future...

Thank goodness for not beating him up!
"Running all the way, Xiaoqi must have not eaten yet, go, tell the kitchen, cook a table of delicious dishes and bring them over, and bring some more tea and fruit snacks, let Xiaoqi and the others fill their stomachs first." Xie Yun didn't care about Huang Chao, and ordered People prepare meals.

"Brother Xie," Ning Yu swallowed the undissolved candy, "Don't be in a hurry to eat, there is something I want to ask Brother Xie for help, can you screen back?"
