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

Xie Xiaohua was waiting at the second door. When she saw someone approaching with an umbrella in the rain, she felt dazed for a while.

But he knew in his heart that he was not a little kid. The little kid always walked with his head held high, like a gust of wind.

He went up to greet you, "Sir, Zhu Qing and Ding Yi have been waiting for you for a long time."

Thanks and nodded slightly.

Shao Qing, the light in the study came on.

Zhu Qing and Ding Yi stepped forward and saluted.

Xie Erli's eyes fell on Zhu Qing's limping left leg.

"If you don't come to me, I also want to come to you. The third child will be afraid that he won't come back for a while. Tell me, what are your plans?"

Zhu Qing: "Sir, if I want to stay in the house, I will be happy even to look at the garden."

Xie Erli suddenly remembered that Manager Xie said a few days ago that he was old and wanted to find a successor in the mansion. The man in front of him...

The third child is the most capable person around him, and he does things properly. Not only that, he is also very familiar with the Jinyi Guards Mansion and the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities.

The Xie family's current situation requires such a person to deal with it.

He made a decision immediately: "It seems that the garden is overqualified for use. From now on, you can follow Mr. Xie!"

Zhu Qing's eyes suddenly became hot.

He suddenly thought that when he woke up, Huang Qi relayed the Third Master's words to him——

"Tell him to go find Xie Xiaohua after he recovers his body and bones, and ask him to take care of Xie Xiaohua until the end of her life."

If you follow Mr. Xie, you should be able to see her often!

Zhu Qing choked and said, "Son, thank you so much for your grace."

Xie Erli nodded and looked at Ding Yi.

Ding Yi hurriedly said: "I want to redeem myself and do some business outside."

At the end, he looked at the uncle's face and said in a low voice: "The young man and Huang Qi made an appointment to go out together."

Xie Erli's eyebrows twitched heavily, and he said in a trembling voice: "Where are you going to... go?"

Ding Yi: "South."

South?

Where Miss Yan came from.

Laosan and the others are there!
Xie Erli took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions, "When are you going to leave?"

When Ding Yiyi heard this, he immediately thought of the third master's instructions that day.

"When you say goodbye to my brother, you can say at the end that you made an appointment with Huang Qi."

"If he asks you where you plan to go, just answer to the south."

"My brother is a smart man, and he will more or less realize something."

My lord, you really expected it.

Ding Yi: "If the uncle agrees, I will leave in a few days."

"Agree, agree, you..."

Xie Erli clenched his hands on his knees and took a steady breath.

"...You and Huang Qi have known each other since they were young. From now on, you should be good together. It doesn't matter whether you make a name for yourself or not. The key is not to ruin your body and bones. You should always think about your family. Everyone in your family is looking forward to your well-being!"

Even though Ding Yi was stupid, he knew these words. The uncle was telling the people behind him.

He knelt down on both legs and kowtowed three times.

"Don't worry, sir. I've taken these words to heart and will tell Huang Qi."

Xie Erli took out a small box from the drawer, opened it, and took out a few banknotes.

"From a poor family to a rich man, take these banknotes with you. Don't go hungry or freeze. Eat well every day."

"Thank you sir, I will kowtow to you three more times."

It’s for Third Master.

……

Xie Erli was not only not happy to get the third son's place, but also added a layer of worry. He was not used to the climate, food and housing... He sat there for a long time before returning to the inner house.

It rained even harder when we returned, and there was no one on the bluestone road. I wonder if it was Xie Erli's misunderstanding, as if the third child left, taking away the excitement of the house with him.

Seeing some light coming from Fangzhou Courtyard in the distance, he felt warm in his heart for no reason.

As he walked into the courtyard, a maid with sharp eyes shouted, "Uncle is back." After a moment, Mrs. Zhu hurriedly came out to welcome him.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Wait for you."

Zhu Weixi stepped forward and took off his rain-stained wet clothes, and ordered the maid to get hot soup for the uncle to bathe and change clothes.

Xie Erli came out of the clean room, and a bowl of hot medicine was placed on the table.

The seasons have changed in the past few days, and he has caught some wind and cold, and he always coughs a few times at night.

"Drink the medicine while it's hot."

Zhu Weixi had already gone to bed. He raised his head and said something, then looked at the account book in his hand.

"In the past few months, the income of the second child has increased by [-]%. Do you want to ask me tomorrow where this extra [-]% is?"

"Don't ask."

Xie Erli drank the medicine in one breath, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"He gave it to you, just take it. It's getting late, go to sleep."

"Ok!"

The lights went out and the room became dark.

Xie Erli likes this kind of darkness. He no longer has to wear a mask and force a smile.

The woman next to him turned over and faced him.

"By the way, big brother sent someone here today to tell you that the divination shows good luck, so don't worry."

When people are unable to do anything, they can only ask God to tell fortunes.

This hexagram is calculated every month, and every time it is good luck. Xie Erli doesn't know if his uncle is deliberately coaxing him, or if he really just calculates it like this. In short, he feels a lot more at ease.

He also turned around and faced her.

"How is mom today?"

"She ate a lot. It was the rain that made her upset. She stood at the door of Lao San Hospital wiping tears. I persuaded her for a while before she persuaded her to go back."

It's impossible to persuade my mother to have such a temper.

Xie Erli sighed: "You have been tired these days."

"You are the one who suffers."

Zhu Weixi also sighed: "You have to worry about the things outside, the third child's things, and the things in the house."

Yes, being the head of a family is not easy, and you have to take care of all aspects.

However, what made him feel most exhausted was how he would make a comeback after three years.
The father is gone, and the tea is cold; the prince is in desolation, and the Xie family's family status has also been visibly in the cold.

During the Double Ninth Festival, only one Ji family, one Zhu family, and one Pei family in the huge Forty-Ninth City sent holiday gifts.

I remember that during the past New Year's Eve, there was no time when the entrance to Xie's Mansion was not bustling with traffic.

"Master, don't put too much pressure on yourself. It doesn't matter your glory or your wealth. At the end of the day, you are not going to die. After you die, you are not just going to sleep in a small space."

Zhu Weixi's voice was very soft: "Besides, I have both fame and real ability. I can't hide it anywhere."

After a few words, Xie Erli felt that after drinking the bowl of medicine, not only his internal organs were warmed, but his eyes were also a little warm.

After a long while, he said: "From tomorrow onwards I will close the door and thank guests, calm down and teach our son to read in person."

"That's really his blessing. Master, please go to bed early. It's been a tiring day."

Zhu Weixi yawned, and sleepiness quickly came over him. When he was drowsy, he suddenly heard the man next to him ask:
"Is your bed cold?"

Zhu Weixi's heart skipped a beat and he hummed, "It's a bit cold."

Xie Erli lifted the quilt and said, "Come here quickly, it's warm here." (End of Chapter)
