Chapter 689: Be a Teacher

Chen Xi lost his temper in front of the woman around him for the first time. This does not mean that he is so angry. He just wants to use this method to prove his absolute authority at home.

Finally, after Xie Yuner personally washed his feet, he temporarily gave up, but he still treated Xie Yuner coldly and asked her to reflect on her in the room... She had just punished her, and if she spoke softly at this time, it would not be a warning. It would take a few days of coldness to let Xie Yuner understand the seriousness of the matter and ensure that she would not commit it again in the future.

This incident had a great impact on Xie Yun'er. She has been respected and favored by Chen Xi since she married into the Shen family. She regards it as a treasure. When the unreasonable Zhou went to Beijing, she also became pregnant and did things with reasonable care, so Zhou could not lose her temper with her.

This is the first time Xie Yuner has felt the crisis.

Lin Dai originally thought she would be happy because of Xie Yuner's misfortune, but in fact she was even more afraid than Xie Yuner. Compared to Xie Yuner just concealed Chen Xi on a small matter, there were so many things she concealed... But she didn't know that Chen Xi didn't even see her things. What is the value of a little secret in the heart of a little girl?

Chen Xi always holds the attitude of Lin Dai to say what you want to say, but I don’t want to say it, and I try to coax you to say it, and I don’t want to say it, and I don’t force it. But Lin Dai can’t tell what it should be said and what it should not be said, and I’m so afraid that I’m dying. Even accompanying Chen Xi at night is as well-behaved and obedient as a docile kitten, which is completely different from her usual behavior of being willful and willful.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "The master is not doing anything, this girl is silent. Is this the so-called knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, killing the chicken to warn the monkey?" Thinking of this, Chen Xi's mouth was raised, leaning comfortably on the head of the bed, closing his eyes with peace of mind, enjoying Lin Dai's careful service.

The next day, Xie Yuner got up to help clean the yard as soon as dawn. Zhou came over early to check the movement. After seeing this, he hurriedly took over and asked Xie Yuner to go back to her room to rest.

Xie Yun'er cried too much yesterday and her eyes were swollen. Chen Xi felt extremely distressed when she saw it, but she still showed a macho attitude and turned a blind eye.

"The brat is the most conscience-less. He knew he was naughty at the beginning when he was young. Once he fell from a peach tree and fell into a coma for several days, which made me very troubled... Good daughter-in-law, come in quickly, my mother has some tricks to tell you about having a son..."

Zhou had no idea that women had already decided the gender of the fetus at the beginning of pregnancy and even spoke the folk remedies they heard seriously.

Xie Yun'er originally wanted to come over to ask Chen Xi for help, but in the end she couldn't twist Zhou's name, so she was forced to go to the room and whispered.

Chen Xi didn't even eat breakfast, so he went to Xie's Mansion.

After all, Xie Qian specifically told him to go early yesterday. As the third auxiliary to the cabinet, Xie Qian was busy with business affairs far beyond his imagination. If there was any explanation, he had to take advantage of Xie Qian to go to court.

Chen Xi just arrived at the front yard and happened to meet Uncle Yun. Uncle Yun quickly reported to Chen Xi: "Master, I have packed up the new home. Will I move here today?"

"Well, since the days have been finalized long ago, it is not appropriate to change them, so set it today. But I have to wait for noon and I will come back in person with me." Chen Xi said, "After saying that, if noon is over, I still haven't returned home, let the wife be responsible!"

Yun Bo was a little embarrassed and asked, "Is it the old lady or..."

"Madam is your lady... I remember from now on, I said that the wife is different from the young lady, and the old lady." Chen Xi pointed out. The wife is Xie Yuner, the young lady is Lin Dai, and the old lady is Zhou. It sounds quite complicated, but after getting familiar with her, it will be like that, so that everyone can call her wife when they meet. When they say that, they don't know which "madam" is.

Chen Xi asked Zhu Shan to drive the car.

Zhu Shan’s favorite thing is to accompany Chen Xi out. On the one hand, it is fun to drive a car and you can see different scenery. On the other hand, when she sends Chen Xi to a place, Chen Xi will give her some change to buy snacks and eat it. She can rest and play in the carriage and around. If you are lucky, sometimes there will be some artists next to the carriage to set up stalls, and she can sit in the carriage and watch the fun leisurely.

However, Zhu Shan didn't like the place he went this time, because the Xie Mansion was surrounded by mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles, which seemed too quiet and would be bored when waiting, so he could only stare at him.

When he arrived at the gate of the Xie Mansion, the servants of the Xie family had been waiting outside. Chen Xi got out of the car and went up to ask, but he found out that Xie Qian had come back last evening and left after saying a word. He did not go back to the house to rest in the evening.

"It seems that I didn't ask me for something, I really just asked me to teach his son about his knowledge."

Chen Xi followed the servants through the familiar yard and arrived at Xie Qian's study. Before he could enter the door, he heard a crisp and surprising voice: "Brother Qi, you are here!"

It is Xie Hengnu whom I haven't seen for a long time.

It's only been more than three months since I saw her, and the little girl is even more beautiful and charming. Her face is thinner than before, and she has changed from an egg-shaped face to a more beautiful melon-shaped face. Today she even has a special eyebrow, her hair accessories and clothes are very decent, and she looks particularly good when she smiles.

Xie Pi walked out of it, looking overjoyed: "I thought my father was joking, but I didn't expect to invite the teacher. The teacher came just right. If you don't come again, you will be so entangled by this girl."

Xie Hengnu pursed his lips, with a little shy face on his face. When he first met, he turned white and red, with his charming nose, jade ears, and a sensational look that Chen Xi's heart beat faster when he saw it.

"Sir, please sit down."

When Xie Pi saw Chen Xi looking at Xie Hengnu, he seemed to be frightened by the latter's bright light, he smiled and saluted Chen Xi respectfully.

Chen Xi nodded and entered the study. As soon as he sat down on the Grand Master's chair, Xie Hengnu held a book "Female Training" and stood in front of him like a good student, waiting to accept his exam.

Chen Xi was a little at a loss.

He really didn't understand the arrangements made by Xie Qian. He wanted to say that Xie Qian was worried about his son's studies and let Xie Pi come out, but why did he especially allow Xie Hengnu to come forward? Doesn't Xie Laoer know that his granddaughter is a stunning beauty who can score 98 points, which is easy to make people think about it?

"Brother Qi, I have memorized everything I have learned before. If you want to take the exam, ask directly, I will definitely be able to answer the questions smoothly." Xie Hengnu said confidently.

Chen Xi had to think about it carefully now because he didn't have a deep memory of the content in "Women's Training", and there was no need for the master to understand this. He had just read it once before, so how could he remember it?

"Miss Xie, please review it for a while. I will talk to your second uncle first." Chen Xidao.

"good."

Xie Hengnu held his skirt and sat down on the bamboo lounge chair in front of the window.

This bamboo chair is a local specialty brought to Beijing by local officials from Yuyao, Zhejiang. It can be seen almost everywhere in the Xie Mansion. Xie Hengnu held "Women's Training" in his hand, but his eyes remained unfailing to the Chenxi River for a moment.

Feeling this scorching gaze, Chen Xi's heartbeat accelerated again, so fast that it was a little too fast to bear. He couldn't help but touch his face, thinking there was something wrong.

Xie Pi glared at Xie Hengnu and said angrily: "I will be careful to memorize the letter. I will only come here for half a day and I will leave later. I will take the exam before leaving."

"knew."

Xie Hengnu reluctantly withdrew his gaze and began to read the contents of "Female Training" softly.

Chen Xidao: "What do you think Mr. Xie doesn't understand?"

"I have some confusion about psychology, so I would like to ask you..."

Since Xie Pi came into contact with Xinxue, he was completely poisoned and his studies were almost abandoned. He studied the content of Xinxue all day long. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he even couldn't think of it. Even his newly married wife was ignored by him.

Chen Xidao: "Studying the mind is just a simple and unsystematic view. The most important thing is to pass the imperial examination. By the way, this year is the year of the provincial examination."

"Students remember that it is just...their profound knowledge of the mind. If students can gain the influence of their teacher and help them carry forward their mind knowledge in a few years, wouldn't it be easier to be famous in history than to become an official through the imperial examination?"

Chen Xi thought to himself, you really don’t know how expensive the firewood and rice are, and don’t be an official, but you don’t know how important it is to be a higher power. Now that you have a father in the court, you can naturally guarantee the status of your Xie family. When one day you really have to worry about a bite of food, you will no longer think about anything you want to learn.

But when I think about it, it may not be true. Thoughts and literature are like spiritual opium for scholars. Once they are infected, they may really be intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves, regardless of whether their family is good or bad. For example, the great young man in front of him has been tortured by the knowledge of his spread of mind, just like a mental hospital.

Chen Xi said seriously: "You can learn carefully, but it must be based on your passing of the provincial examination. I have a few questions here, so I have done them."

Chen Xi took out several four-book titles he had drafted last night from his sleeve and handed them to Xie Pi.

Xie Pi was a little disappointed, but he picked up the title and walked aside, sat behind the desk and started writing articles. At this time, Chen Xi also had the opportunity to read the books collected by Grand Secretary Xie, but after carefully reading them, he was disappointed. None of the books in Grand Secretary Xie's study made him feel surprised.

About an hour passed.

“It’s done.”

Xie Pi is very talented in making articles. Chen Xi originally thought he would have to spend two hours.

"Take it a look."

Chen Xi took the article over, looked carefully, and couldn't help but frown and looked at Xie Pi, shouting, "What kind of shit are you doing?"

"ah!?"

Not only did Xie Pi not expect Chen Xi's criticism to be so sharp and rude, but even Xie Hengnu was shocked when she heard it. Her second uncle has always been a talented man with outstanding literary talent and a top student among the Xie family's peers. How could Chen Xi be so unbearable?

Chen Xidao: "If you take your article to the Yingtongsheng exam, it will naturally be more than enough, but the Ying Academy exam is already inadequate. If you want to take it to the provincial exam, you will only have the chance to fail."

Xie Pi looked ashamed and could not raise his head in a daze.

At this moment, two people walked in at the door. A young woman was holding an old lady in her forties. The woman immediately looked cold and asked: "Mr. Chen, you have indeed made achievements in the field of science, but how can you slander your husband so much?"

Needless to say, this is Shi Lin’s sister Shi Xiaojing, and now Xie Pi’s wife.

As for the old lady, it was Xie Lu, the widow of Xie Pi's younger brother Xie Xuan, and Xie Pi's mother and daughter-in-law who adopted her. When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard that a husband came to teach her son, they were happy and made an appointment to come out to see it. As a result, before entering the study, they heard Chen Xi criticizing Xie Pi.

No matter how incompetent a man is, the best in the minds of his mother who loves him and his wife who loves him is their pride and lifelong dependence.

Chen Xi simply wanted to use vicious words to curse Xie Pi, but he didn't expect to meet the female family in the Xie family.

"Mom, madam, this is not a big deal to blame Lord Shen. In fact, Lord Shen... what I taught is the lesson." Xie Pi blushed and looked extremely ashamed, mainly because he lost face in front of his wife and mother.

Shi Xiaojing picked up Xie Pi's article, and after reading it, she retorted: "Aren't these articles written pretty well?"

"Oh!? Is that?"

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "If I really wrote well, would I say what I had just said?"

Shi Xiaojing was not polite: "As a role model, you must first be an example. I wonder if Lord Shen can give you a gift of calligraphy to let us see the style of the priest master?"

Chen Xi thought to himself, are you really the one who is the most accomplice?

At this time, we naturally have to use our pen tip to convince Xie Pi and his wife completely. However, when Chen Xi lifted the pen, he found that he had not written an article for a long time, and he was a little awkward and hesitant when writing.
