The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 929 Returning to the Palace
"Call-"

At a quarter of the hour, three horses stopped at the corner gate of Xie's mansion.

As soon as the concierge saw the person, he immediately shouted: "The third master is back, the third master is back!"

Xie Zhifei turned over and dismounted, neatly threw the reins into the boy's hands, lifted his clothes coolly, then quickly walked up the steps and stepped across the threshold.

Entering the threshold, he stopped to straighten his clothes, smiled softly and asked, "How is it?"

Zhu Qing glanced at Third Master's temples that had been dyed with black juice, "Don't worry, Master, it's as black as ink."

After hearing this, Xie Zhifei's peach-blossom eyes widened, the corners of his mouth were raised, and there were faint dimples on his lips, and he looked like a romantic playboy again.

In the distance, Xie Xiaohua hurriedly greeted her.

"My Third Master, you are back. It has been so many days and you are nowhere to be seen. My wife has been talking to me about it a hundred times."

Xie Zhifei waited for him to come closer, hooked his long arm, and pinched his neck habitually with his palm.

I pinched it, and I wasn’t happy anymore.

"How come you're so thin and all the meat is gone?"

Xie Xiaohua was secretly happy, but Zaizi still felt sorry for him, and she could tell at a glance that he had lost weight.

Can you not lose weight?

Two funerals, welcoming and sending off, almost exhausted him to death.

"You are so quick, please bring back the meat for me."

The third master's rogue spirit came back again, "If you lose one or two ounces of meat, I will punish you to pick manure on the farm, Zhu Qing?"

Zhu Qing took out a few banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into Manager Xie's arms.

"A new group of Yangzhou thin horses have arrived by the Yongding River. They are all very agile. Manager Xie is going to have some fun when he has time."

Xie Xiaohua was full of joy, but her face looked aggrieved, "You're still wearing a mourning hat!"

"Go secretly, what are you afraid of? If something happens, the third master will take care of it for you!"

The third master pinched the soft neck flesh a few more times, "Where is my mother?"

"My wife is in the small Buddhist hall, chanting sutras for the master and the old lady."

"You're busy with your business, I'll take a look."

"Third Master."

Xie Xiaohua grabbed her and said, "Coax my wife well and don't make her angry."

"You are really more verbose than a woman!"

Xie Zhifei pushed him aside in disgust and went straight to the small Buddhist hall.

Xie Xiaohua looked at the back of her little cub, and the sullen feeling that had been stuck in her heart for the past few days completely dissipated.

Now that Third Master is back, this house is a little popular!
See how much money the third master paid him this time?
Xie Xiaohua took out the money and looked at it, and was stunned.

A full 8000 taels.

Why so many?
……

In the Buddhist hall, Ms. Wu was dressed in plain clothes and kneeling on the futon, twirling Buddhist beads in her hand and reciting scriptures.

Someone knelt down next to me.

Wu turned around and saw that it was her youngest son. Even the scriptures could not suppress her anger.

"Your father and ancestor just passed away, and you hang out outside all day long without even returning home. Do you still have the word filial piety in your eyes?"

"I have a mother in my eyes."

Xie Zhifei leaned forward with a playful smile, "Mom, why don't you hit me twice to relieve my anger."

Wu reached out and pinched her son's ear hard, "I'll let your brother teach you a lesson later!"

"Brother teaches brother a lesson, mother teaches mother a lesson."

Xie Zhifei leaned his head on her shoulder and said, "Mom, come on, curse a few more times and let out all the grievances in your heart. San'er can bear it."

"You..."

Mrs. Wu had no choice but to deal with her scoundrel son, so she wiped away her tears and said, "You have no conscience! The person your father and your ancestors loved the most during their lifetime was you, and they have only been gone for a few days!"

"My son went out to do some business these days and made some money."

Xie Zhifei took out the banknotes from his arms and said, "Mom, please put it away for me. Don't even tell my eldest brother. Let us spend it secretly together." When Wu saw so much money, her resentment immediately disappeared; then she looked at her son. The sharpened chin felt distressed again.

"Gift is money, but you should also be careful with your body."

She touched her son's cheek and said, "This face has become so thin, can you still see it?"

"Mom has lost weight too."

Xie Zhifei put his arm around her shoulders.

"In the future, we will rarely come to this small Buddhist temple. If you really want to have some free time, go out and have a look. If you see something good, buy it. Don't be reluctant to spend money.

Don't always get angry with your sister-in-law. She is a nice person. This family will only be better if she is in front of her, not worse. You have to learn from your ancestors and don't care about anything and just enjoy happiness. "

"Your mother and I are not as blessed as our ancestors."

"Nonsense, your luck is yet to come!"

Xie Zhifei shook her shoulders: "In the future, my son will be filial, my grandson will be filial, my family will be full of descendants, I will live a long life, and I will be the only one in Sijiu City."

Mrs. Wu was so coaxed by her son that she laughed with tears in her eyes.

Think about it, it is indeed true.

Without the control of her mother-in-law and men, she became the ancestor of the house, and anyone who saw her could only coax her and support her.

Aunt Liu, that old goblin, is different. Without a man to help her, she won't be able to get stronger in the rest of her life!

Even if he tried to fight for his son, he couldn't beat her. The prince came to the Xie Mansion to express his condolences for her son's sake.

Her son is promising!
"Mom, I'm going to find my brother and ask the kitchen to prepare some good dishes for lunch. I haven't had enough to eat in several days."

When Mrs. Wu heard that her son had no food, she couldn't care less about reciting Buddhist scriptures. She got up from the futon and thought about going to the kitchen to see for herself.

"Mother, silver."

"Yes, yes, put it away first."

Wu put the banknotes away with a handkerchief, hid them in her sleeves, and hurried out of the Buddhist hall.

Xie Zhifei turned around, his eyelashes trembled, and his smile disappeared.

He looked at Wu's back steadily, bent down, and kowtowed three times.

……

The study door creaked open.

Xie Erli looked up from his desk and saw that it was the third child, and his face darkened.

Xie Zhifei felt frightened when his elder brother's face sank. After so many years, his eldest brother's majesty still weighed heavily on his heart.

Not daring to smile playfully, he sat down in front of the desk.

"Brother, I secretly went on a long mission under the orders of the prince. I just arrived in Beijing and returned home without delay."

In a word, Erli was very sad to say thank you.

His father died unexpectedly, leaving him no words. As the eldest son and grandson, he naturally had to shoulder the family's affairs.

However, during these days, he gradually discovered that there was a third child who shouldered the same heavy burden as him.

In recent years, the third brother's connections in Beijing have been well managed, and in many cases even his brother has benefited invisibly.

All of this was due to him working hard for the prince, whether in the wind or in the rain.

"Is the matter settled?"

"It's done."

Xie Zhifei smiled and said, "But we have to leave tomorrow. Someone found Yan Sanhe and asked her to go and resolve the demons. The place is very far away. I'm afraid I won't be able to get back in three months."

These words left Xie Erli speechless.

"Brother, Yan Sanhe is a good girl. I have always recognized her in my life. When we are brothers, you always hope for the best from me, so don't stop me."

"Never stopped me."

Xie Erli said in a displeased tone, "It's just that you two should also plan for the future. Don't hang around like this all the time without letting people gossip."

Xie Zhifei looked at him and asked with a smile: "Brother, can you tell me a plan?"
