Chapter 67
Xu Yin, who had been concerned about when Xie Wenjing would come back, was shocked when he found out that Xie's family had sold Xie Wenjing's yard.

A kind of bad thought kept coming up, what was the reason that Xie's family sold Xie Wenjing's yard?
Did something happen to Xie Wenjing?It has been a long time since Xie Wenjing left Yangzhou for Hangzhou, what happened to her?The Xie family would actually sell her yard?
Xu Yin really wanted to go to Xie's house to ask about it, but Xu Yin was also afraid that it would ruin Xie Wenjing's reputation.

It would be great if I could go to Hangzhou to have a look.

Xu Yin's hand couldn't help stroking the white jade bead flower that Xie Wenjing had accidentally lost in his hand, his thoughts soared, and he didn't even think about reading.

"Brother, what's the matter with you? You have been absent-minded these days. If your mother sees you, you must be in a hurry. It's about to take the imperial examination?"

Xu Yin's younger sister who endured for two days, Xu Cai couldn't stand it anymore, and stared at her brother with hatred, the whole family's hope was on him, but he was lucky, these days, he was out of his mind every day, if he continued like this, How can I live up to my parents' instructions?
Xu Yin looked at his sister and thought of his own thoughts.

This matter must be asked clearly, otherwise I really cannot study for the exam with peace of mind.

Maybe my sister can help me.

"Little sister, brother would like to ask you to do me a favor. The eldest daughter of the Xie family, Xie Wenjing, lives next to the courtyard wall of our house. She left Yangzhou for Hangzhou more than a month ago. But now the Xie family has moved her The yard is sold, can you help me find out what happened to Xie Wenjing? You can quietly ask the maid who came out of Xie's house. Is that okay?"

Xu Yin has no choice now, but can only ask his sister for help. Xie Wenjing was originally the sweetest secret in his heart, but now he can only reveal it, just to know earlier whether Xie Wenjing is okay now?

"Brother? You? How dare you like that eldest lady? If mother finds out, mother will cry to death, do you know? She is absolutely impossible with our family, brother, wake up!"

Although Xu Cai is a young girl who is not as good as she is, but taking on the burden of the family prematurely has also made this girl precocious. After listening to the words of the elder brother, she will naturally think that the elder brother must be in love with the opposite Xie miss home.

Such a family can be climbed by oneself?How could people take a fancy to our poor family?Isn't this forcing yourself to death?
"Shh, speak in a low voice, don't be heard by mother. Come and sit down, little sister, don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly."

"Xie Wenjing often sees me in their yard, and naturally knows me. She thinks I study hard and appreciates me."

"She is very kind. She saw that our family's conditions were difficult, and she also learned that this year's snowstorm was severe and the price of rice and noodles had risen. She was afraid that it would delay my study, so she secretly lent me 200 taels of silver."

"We agreed that after I pass the exam, I will return the money she lent me. Otherwise, how could I write letters to people and earn so much money to buy rice noodles?"

"Actually, those are all the money that Xie Wenjing lent me. If it weren't for her kindness, the price of rice noodles in Yangzhou has risen so much this time, and our family has not been affected much."

"These are all the favors she gave to our family! Now something may happen to her, so I'm naturally worried. I can't wait to go to Xie's house to find out what's wrong with her."

"But you also know that she is a lady in the boudoir. Of course, she can't be known by others if she helps me in private. If I go to Xie's house to inquire, it will definitely ruin her reputation."

"Little sister, now that you know, you can ask her for me, where is she now, okay?"

Xu Yin was forced to have no choice but to reveal part of the things about himself and Xie Wenjing, and Xu Yin was unwilling to tell more about it.It was a joy that even he couldn't explain clearly.

Xu Cai was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.

How can this be?She, a boudoir lady, actually borrowed 200 taels of silver from her elder brother in private for her elder brother's study?

200 taels of silver?With so much money, if you live frugally, it will be enough for a family to eat and drink for ten years.With this, the eldest brother will no longer have to worry about studying and taking exams.Mom, don't work so hard.

No wonder, during this period of time, the eldest brother forced my mother to rest. Mother saw that the eldest brother only spent a little time in reading, writing for others, earning so much money and buying so much rice noodles, so she was willing to give up embroidery. Take a good rest.

So it turned out that all of this was bestowed by Miss Xie's family across the street?

"Okay, I'll go and inquire now, but, brother, you still have to study with peace of mind, don't think too much, she is a good person, and she will definitely be rewarded."

"Also, brother, her kindness is kindness, you can't think too much about it, lest you ruin her reputation and yourself!"

"A rich family like her might have already arranged a marriage that is well-matched. This time, I will ask you clearly, so as not to let you think about it."

After Xu Cai knew that Xie Wenjing was her benefactor, she was naturally willing to care about her. However, the elder brother's delirious appearance in the past two days showed that he was not only repaying his favor, but also afraid that his elder brother would be confused and fall in love with someone he shouldn't. People hurt themselves!

This time, I must find out clearly, is Xie Wenjing engaged?It's better to tell the eldest brother to give up as soon as possible!
Seeing that his younger sister readily agreed, Xu Yin felt a lot more relaxed, but hearing the meaning of his younger sister's words, clearly opposed to himself and Xie Wenjing, Xu Yin was still infinitely irritated.

In fact, just from the time I got in touch with Xie Wenjing, I saw that she had something of her own in her heart, and I missed her very much, very much.

But just as my sister said, the distance between me and her is too far, she is like the bright stars and moons in the sky, and I am just a mortal looking up at the stars and moons, how can I be worthy of her who is so beautiful?
And since she is in a family, marriage should not be up to her, unless she is the number one scholar in high school, even if she passed the examination of Juren and Jinshi, it is impossible to marry such a her.

Only the number one scholar in high school can make the Xie family look at me differently and allow me to marry her!High school champion?How difficult is this to achieve?

Thinking of this, Xu Yin was extremely anxious, and an unspeakable depression smoldered in his heart.

Xu Cai really found out that this Xie Wenjing was a filial daughter. When her father was seriously ill for more than two years and taking medicine was of no avail, she took her parents and family to Fajing Temple in Hangzhou to pray for her father.

I heard that after praying for blessings for a while, Xie Wenjing's father got better without taking medicine.

Xu Cai also inquired about the Xie family's sale of property. She didn't know the details, but all she knew was that the Xie family was in big trouble and had to sell their property.

Xie Wenjing's yard was sold under such circumstances.
