After the competition between Bian Ding and Han Sa was over, he was about to run back when he was called aside by Xia Chu.
"Master, are you going to reward me with the money you won?" Bian Ding thought Xia Chu was going to praise him, and his little face was full of pride.
Xia Chu took out the still-warmed money bag from his sleeve and threw it to him and said, "Look at your philistine face now."
Bian Ding took the money bag and said "Hey" and touched his face: "I haven't seen my face for a long time. Has he become handsome again?"
The corner of Xia Chu's mouth twitched, not bothering to talk to him. She looked at him solemnly and ordered: "Call Bian Zhao to protect Lan Yuying. As for Bian Yan, let him go on a long trip."
When Bian Ding saw Xia Chu waving to him, he immediately became serious and listened.
Shi Zhongfei on the side saw that everyone had dispersed, so he asked Bingwen to ask Xia Chu if he had time to meet Ji Ming and Kong Changhui.
When Bingwen walked over, Bian Ding got the order and had already gone on errands. He saw Xia Chu teasing Han Sa: "Fortunately, your master placed a silver note for you, otherwise the offer I opened would not be enough to compensate you." .”
Han Sa blushed with embarrassment and looked at Xiao Mubai expectantly, hoping that he could say a few words for her.
But Xiao Mubai looked at Xia Chu with a loving smile, and Han Sa suddenly hung his head.
When Xia Chu saw Bingwen, he walked towards him and said, "Are Xie Jiming and Kong Changhui back?"
Bingwen nodded: "No, Shi Zhongfei is asking me to invite you."
Xia Chu turned back to Xiao Mubai and Xiao Zimu who were discussing matters at the table and said, "I'll go to Mingxiang Garden next door."
Seeing them nodding, he told Xu Wenlan again: "Don't pester my Miss Lan all the time. She always goes to bed early at night."
Xu Wenlan said "Hmm" without raising his head, and he was extremely reluctant to deal with it.
When Diandian, who was still in Lan Yuying's arms, saw that Xia Chu was about to leave, she jumped down and rushed to Xia Chu's feet.
Xia Chu pointed at its head: "Okay, I'll take you for a walk."
After hearing this, Diandian wagged her big red tail happily and followed Xia Chu away.
Shi Zhongfei led Bingwen and Xia Chu ahead. On the way, Bingwen finally asked Xia Chu a question that had troubled him for a long time: "What did you write in the letter you asked me to hand over to that smelly stone?" What?"
Xia Chu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the 'stinking stone' refers to Xie Jiming. If Bingwen hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it: "It's just a policy paper."
"Policy theory?" Bingwen was surprised: "What about Ce can make his attitude change so much?"
"Ordinary family and country govern the world, maybe the point of view resonated with him." Xia Chu smiled enigmatically.
The question was an ordinary one, but this policy paper was written by Jie Jiming two years later in his previous life. Xia Chu just recited what he wrote word for word from memory and handed it over to him.
For Xie Jiming, seeing such a policy essay made him feel overwhelmed.
Not to mention that his attitude has changed, he has simply developed the desire to die for his confidant.
No matter what, Xie Jiming wanted to get to know this person.
But Xia Chu naturally couldn't explain the trick in this article to Bingwen, so he could only speak vaguely, but it was actually the truth.
Naturally, Bingwen would not ask Xia Chu to recite the whole text at this time. He could only silently wonder how the still young Xia Chu could write a policy paper with the same views as that stinking stone to recruit him.
There is a shortcut between the backyard of the inn and the backyard of Ming Xiangyuan. You can directly reach it through the Zen room, which is quite private.
Therefore, Shi Zhongfei took them to the backyard pavilion over there not long after walking.
Jie Jiming in the pavilion was rarer than Kong Changhui, and he was pacing back and forth.
On the other hand, although Kong Changhui also looked forward to it, he could still sit still.
"It's coming, it's coming." Jie Jiming looked towards the direction where the footsteps were coming from in the distance.
"A few people, is the young Marquis here?" Kong Changhui immediately stood up when he heard this and walked to the entrance of the pavilion.
"I've never seen the young Marquis, how do I know if he is." Xie Jiming glanced sideways at Kong Changhui.
Kong Changhui touched his nose and looked a little embarrassed by him: "I'm anxious, I'm anxious, I've never seen this before."
While talking, the group of four people in front, plus a red dot, were getting a little closer.
You can clearly see Shi Zhongfei leading the way, Bingwen and Xia Chu walking side by side, followed by Jiao Shi.
"Isn't this too young?" Jie Jiming looked at the young man walking towards him under the moonlight. Although he had an extraordinary temperament, it was far from what he had imagined in his mind.
"Young Lord Marquis is only fourteen this year, so naturally he won't be much older." Kong Changhui didn't understand the huge gap between Ji Ming's mid-term expectations, so he glanced over and didn't think there was anything wrong.
Not long after he finished speaking, Shi Zhongfei came over and said to the two of them: "Chang Hui, Master Jie, this is our noble Lord, the Young Marquis."
Kong Changhui had already made a great gift: "My lower official Kong Changhui, when he first entered the capital, I was fortunate to have the little Marquis help me. This great kindness will be engraved in my heart and will never be forgotten."
Xia Chu smiled and supported him: "You are what you are today because of your true talent and learning. To be honest, I am just doing my best."
"The young Marquis has taken great care of us..." Kong Changhui paused for a moment after saying this. He glanced at Jie Ji Ming from the corner of his eye and saw that he not only did not salute, but also smacked his lips with a look of regret on his face. He couldn't help but sigh. He hit him twice with his elbow.
Jie Jiming didn't appreciate it but glared at Kong Changhui. Then he turned to Xia Chu and said, "That letter was really written by the young marquis?"
"Of course." Xia Chu answered naturally. The letter was naturally written by him, but the content was just...
"Master Jie, when the young Marquis wrote this letter, he was in my courtyard in the southern suburbs, and I was right next to him." Seeing that his face was still full of disbelief, Bingwen immediately spoke up to testify for Xia Chu.
No wonder Xie Ji Ming couldn't believe it. Not to mention the content of the policy paper, the cursive handwriting alone looked like it had nearly twenty years of experience.
The young man in front of me has a beautiful appearance, but it is obvious that he is not even twenty years old...
But he still believed in Bingwen's character, now that he had spoken out.
Even if he didn't want to believe it, he could only convince himself that the country was ready with talented people, and that the young Marquis was the hope of the future of the Xiao Kingdom.
Although Xie Jiming forced himself to think this way, in the end he was still somewhat conflicted when facing this fact.
Therefore, he just expressed his thanks to Xia Chu with a standard official courtesy.
"My official Xie Ji Ming is grateful to the young Marquis for taking care of me."
