When Chen Xi returned to the capital, the court did not arrange new errands or tasks for Chen Xi for the time being, which was equivalent to being idle, but he did not force it.

Going south to this journey cultivated Chen Xi's good mentality. It was a blessing for him to lose his horse. He was going to the northwest to be the governor of Yansui, which was like going to die. He was worried about it every day. Now he has no official position and is light. Even if he doesn't become an official, he is ten thousand times better than being a governor of Yansui.

The day after returning to the capital, Xie Qian did not make any noise, and it seemed that he didn't know that Chen Xi had returned to the capital.

Xie Qian could pretend that he didn't know that he was back, but Chen Xi could not sit at home and wait. He should have gone to see Xie Qian in person, talk about his situation as an official in the local area, and exchanged information from the capital with Xie Qian.

Even if Xie Qian refused to tell the truth, Chen Xi could still detect clues from Xie Qian's words and expressions, and know what was going on.

Like everyone else, if you want to visit Xie Qian, you have to submit a message first.

If someone else visits, they will definitely be rejected, but Chen Xi is different. Chen Xi did not ask Yun Bo or the brothers who came back from the carriage and horse gang to see him off, but came to him in person.

After lunch, Chen Xi set out and knocked on the door of Xie Mansion to see Zhike. Zhike originally had a bad look, so he must have been tired of anyone being so ignorant of the person who was so ignorant of the person in the afternoon. But when the door opened and saw Chen Xi, he immediately changed his face, bowed and was attentive, and finally invited Chen Xi to enter Xie Mansion respectfully.

Chen Xi hesitated a little: "Since Master Ge is not at home, it seems that it is not good for me to come like this. Why not leave the visitor book? If Master Ge comes back, he wants to see you, just send someone to inform me."

Zhike smiled and said, "What did you say? Don't say that you are now a relative of Xie's family, or you are the past... You are not in and out at will?"

This is a big truth!

In the eyes of others, the Xie Mansion is the mansion of the old mansion, and the deep courtyard, so I can only sigh. However, Chen Xi regarded the Xie Mansion as his back garden in the morning, and he would come and leave as soon as he wanted to come.

Hearing Zhike's words, Chen Xi was no longer polite.

No matter how unsatisfied you, your disciples brought me in. If you whisper to me, I will just watch the fun... By the way, who is the two of us? Your baby granddaughter is now pregnant. I am not here to talk about business with you. Will it be a good idea to talk about family affection?

But Chen Xi knew that Xie Qian's status in the court is becoming more and more important now, and Xie Qian may not have time to go home, but he did not let the wise guest deliberately inform Xie Qian. What he thought was to see him when he could see him, and forget about it if he couldn't see him, or leave a letter in Xie Qian's study and wait for Xie Qian to come home to read it himself.

This letter does not need to be as concealed as the letters I wrote in another place before, and can be straightforward. You don’t have to worry about this letter falling into the hands of others and you can speak freely.

Entering the familiar study, Chen Xi couldn't help but think of the freedom he was when he was a lecturer in the East Palace.

Everything is good in the capital, but it is too idle that I was instructed by Xie Qian to do this and that, and finally I was assigned to the southeast. Chenxi was like a scholar who returned from studying abroad. She sat down in the study room, and asked the guest to come to serve tea, but she did not disturb Chenxi and retreated on her own.

Chen Xi took a sip of tea, stood up and went to the bookshelf, wanting to see what precious ancient books Xie Qian had made in the past year, but after reading it, he was disappointed. Not only did he not have many books, but he seemed to have fewer ones. Chen Xi thought to himself: "Is it because Xie Laoer knew that I was back, and was afraid that I would take the lead and move it away in advance?"

"Mr. Shen?"

Just as Shen Xi pulled out a book from the bookshelf and read it casually, a woman's voice came from the door. Turning back, Mrs. Xu walked into the study and was overjoyed when she saw Chen Xi, "I wish you goodbye to Lord Shen."

Chen Xi quickly put the book back on the bookshelf and greeted him respectfully: "I have met Mrs.

According to seniority, Mrs. Xu is Chen Xi's grandmother and Chen Xi's elder. Although Chen Xi did not kneel down when she met, she bowed ninety degrees, which was also a great gift.

Mrs. Xu was so happy that she couldn't stop talking: "Sir, you're so polite. You should pay your respects to me. Sir... My master hasn't come back yet, please sit down."

Mrs. Xu was very enthusiastic about Chen Xi and treated Chen Xi as her grandson.

Chen Xi is Xie Hengnu's husband. The two are similar in age. Chen Xi is also a young man. Even if Mrs. Xu is ignorant in the boudoir, she has heard about many deeds in Chen Xi in daily life. When she learned that Chen Xi was back, she was extremely happy and came out to meet her in person without caring about etiquette, because in her eyes, Chen Xi was just a capable junior.

"Please sit down, madam."

Chen Xi did not dare to overthrow the enemy in front of his elders. He always treated Xie Hengnu as his beloved wife. This was just like his grandmother and he had to be respectful.

"Sir... Sir... Oh, why are you so stubborn? I don't know how to treat you, so I'll tell you, "Sir, you're here."

Mrs. Xu was a little helpless. Her long-term hope was finally completed half of it, that was to see Chen Xi, and her other half was to see her pregnant granddaughter Xie Hengnu.

After Mrs. Xu ordered the servants to return to the study, she saw that Chen Xi still refused to sit down, so she had to sit down first. Chen Xi then sat down with the rattan chair that the servant brought in.

Chen Xidao: "Madam, don't call me an adult. I am a junior, Jun'er's husband. You should call you grandmother. Just call me the younger generation directly."

Mrs. Xu asked, "Can you have any words to take the form?"

Chen Xi shook her head: "Mrs. Just call Chen Xi."

According to the principle, the character "大大" will only be taken after the twenties. However, if you want to go out for a study tour or go to another place for business, there are usually those who take the character "大大" at the age of 16 or 17, but the character "大大" is usually the elders or teachers in the family. After Chen Xi became the top scholar at the age of 13, he stayed out all the time and had no time to ask his father and teacher to get the character "大大大".

At the same time, Chen Xi himself had no strong intention, so he kept dragging on this matter. He planned to consider it until he was twenty years old, and asked Xie Qian or Xie Duo to get the words "大天" for him.

Mrs. Xu was a little embarrassed, but in the end she followed Chen Xi's meaning and called her: "Chen Xi..."

When the name came out, Mrs. Xu still felt it was inappropriate and didn't know what to call her for a moment. Chen Xi smiled and said, "My wife's name is very friendly, and she seems to face her grandmother."

"It turns out that your grandmother is still there, and I don't know where my grandmother is now? What do you call you and Jun'er... on weekdays?" Mrs. Xu asked with anticipation.

It seems that Mrs. Xu mostly means getting to know Li. They are old and can meet their grandmothers. It seems to be good to talk to each other. Unfortunately, Chen Xi thought of Li's temperament and Li's old and can't go far away now, so he knew that the two old people had no chance to meet each other.

Chenxidao: "My grandmother is now in Ninghua, Tingzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. She is going out to study and leaves home very early. Her grandmother calls her Qilang on weekdays."

"No wonder, no wonder... Haha, Qilang, this name is very good. So how about the old man calls Lord Shen like this?" Mrs. Xu seemed to remember something and was happy. The same name as Li made her feel that there seemed to be a grandson under her knees.

Chen Xi smiled and nodded. He knew what Mrs. Xu meant, because Xie Hengnu usually called him "Seventh Brother". I guess the little girl used to be like this in front of her grandmother. Mrs. Xu never knew what the meaning of this title was. Now she probably figured it out. Chen Xi should be ranked seventh in the family.

Mrs. Xu asked Chen Xi about her well-being, and the topic was involuntarily mentioned Xie Hengnu. Chen Xi said in a positive tone: "I received a letter from my family earlier. Jun'er was pregnant and had to work hard for a long distance or had inconvenience. I wanted to keep her in Guangzhou Prefecture to raise her baby. It would not be too late to set off after giving birth to Lin'er. However, the court was urged to be tight, and it seemed that long-term separation was not in line with the court's regulations. I had no choice but to arrange someone to greet her."

"The road is long and long, and it will take some time to return to the capital in early September. Madam doesn't have to worry too much, there will be someone to take good care of the road."

"Oh, don't worry... Jun'er is blessed, why should I worry? Qilang, Lao Shi has a ruthless request. After Jun'er returns... can it be..."

Mrs. Xu looked at Chen Xi in embarrassment, wanting to speak but stopping.

Chen Xi said knowingly: "After Jun'er returns to Beijing, he will take a break, and the younger generation will personally take her back to Xie's house to visit his wife. In the future, Jun'er can also live in the house."

"real?"

Mrs. Xu showed surprise, but then waved her hand and said, "Just come back and take a look, Xiaozhu... No need, Jun'er stays in Shen's Mansion, don't worry."

"Mr. Shen... Qilang, you must treat Jun'er well. This girl's parents died. I was the one who raised her, but I didn't expect that she would have her own flesh and blood so soon..."

Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her granddaughter, and she cried with joy because Xie Hengnu was pregnant. This was a kind of happiness. The little granddaughter left her protection and still got her own happiness. She had children so soon. Then she would enter the life of taking care of her husband and children and no longer feel lonely.

When Mrs. Xu was old, she realized the difference between having a son and having no son. After she was old and deteriorating, she originally placed hope for her husband, but unfortunately her husband had a concubine, and the concubine also added a child to the Xie family. In this way, the son became a trustworthy person. Unfortunately, Mrs. Xu's remaining son was adopted by someone else.

Chen Xi understood the old man's feelings, and he had the enlightenment that the ancients did not have, so he would not let Xie Hengnu go out of the door without leaving the door. Xie Hengnu wanted to go back to his parents' home to visit his grandmother, which seemed normal in Shen Xi's opinion.

Even if Xie Hengnu lives in Xie's house for a month, or if he comes to the sedan chair every day during the day and goes back at night, it is OK.

But Mrs. Xu did not dare to have such a luxury. She only hoped to see her granddaughter and see how she looked as a wife and a mother, and she would die without regrets.

Mrs. Xu talked with Chen Xi for a long time, and the servant came in and reported: "Sir, Madam, I have already informed the master. The master said that he would come back after handling official duties, and asked the family to prepare supper and leave Lord Shen for dinner together."

"Okay, okay."

Mrs. Xu smiled, "The master is going home, and Lord Shen is here too. The house is finally a little lively, it's so good!" (To be continued.)
