“Speaking of recommendations, I heard that a general recommended a poor student, but that person didn’t have any real talent. When he was a county magistrate, he did nothing but bully the villagers. In the end, the poor student was executed, and the general who recommended him was also dismissed from office and could not be hired for a lifetime.”
Xiao Baoxin suddenly remembered something.
Xie Xian smiled when he heard this. He knew about the incident she was talking about. It happened when his father was a servant.
That general was Sikong Xiao’s subordinate. He was very brave and loyal, but he had a poor judgment of people and was deceived by others. There was really no exchange of interests. It was purely that the general had been deceived. He had wholeheartedly recommended talents for the country, but in the end, he had fallen into such a state.
However, if not for this, he would not have been dismissed from office, but punished as a poor student.
Emperor Epsilon placed great importance on poor students and recruited talented people from all over the world. If you dare to come, I dare to use it.
However, if there were people who were just making up the numbers, then even the referees would be implicated. This was an effective way to prevent substandard goods from being passed off as high-quality goods, as well as a method to exchange benefits.
His wife had brought it up at this time, but it was definitely not just a sudden thought. She was clearly reminding him, afraid that he would make a mistake due to human feelings.
“Wifey, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”he said softly.
The gentle night, the gentle wind, and his gentle voice were intoxicating.
Alright, whatever husband said was right.
The two of them walked further and further away until they reached the pond.
Xie Xian pulled Xiao Baoxin’s hand.” Be careful. Don’t slip like last time.””
However, she sighed in her heart. Was it good to be like last time? Her long legs slid in the air, lifting her long dress. It was really beautiful. Thinking of the scene last time, it was refreshing.
I believe you!
Xiao Baoxin gritted his teeth. Did this fellow dare to not be so two-faced? He actually had other plans in his heart when he said such a nice sentence. He was the first person since ancient times who did not match his heart with his mouth!
” Speaking of sick seedlings,” Xie Xian brought up that topic again, clearly unable to let it go. “What happened?”
Xiao Baoxin rolled his eyes at him. He knew that he was extremely sensitive to these two words. He didn’t take it seriously. He knew that it wasn’t about him just by connecting the two words.
“We’re talking about Tiedan, the son of the Third Concubine Zhou.”She told Xie Xian about what had happened in the third household today.
Actually, ever since Xie Xian returned to the residence, Sui Yun, who was at home, had reported to him everything that had happened in the residence. It wasn’t that he wanted to have everything under control. He really didn’t have the intention of controlling these trivial matters of the Xie family. He was already tired from being busy with the affairs of the court for a day.
It was just that there had been a lot of things in the Third household recently, and Madam Wang had made a lot of trouble. He was afraid that Xiao Baoxin would suffer a loss, so he instructed Suiyun to pay more attention in the residence.
“This matter will be blown up sooner or later.”He just didn’t expect it to be so fast. The Cheng Corporation’s actions were fast enough.
“We won’t get involved in this matter. Grandmother has her own decision.”Xie Xian said.
Xiao Baoxin snorted. Did he take her for a fool?
This was originally a matter of being separated by rooms. Not only were they separated by rooms, but they were also separated by generations. What did it have to do with her?
“.. Do you think Third Uncle’s matter will affect his official position?”
She wasn’t making groundless accusations. It was something that happened last year. Xiao Baoshan had also gotten into a fight with the Cai family because of his mistress. He was bitten by the Cai family crazily, and in the end, he was dismissed from office. Later on, Sikong Xiao triumphantly returned and suppressed some of the scandals of the Xiao family. Only then did Emperor Yu Heng revive Xiao Baoshan.
Xie Xian was already sweating after walking for a while. Moreover, he had even ‘exercised’ in the bathroom previously, even though he was the one who was bullied and did not move much.
However, he felt that the passage of time was obviously a little slow. He had only walked for a short while, but he gritted his teeth and refused to let Xiao Baoxin laugh at him. He insisted on walking in circles. He had already circled around the pond twice.
” 1 have to praise my wife. Her brain works fast and her political sense is very sharp.”
Why did it feel like he was calling her a dog?
Xiao Baoxin thought.
“But Third Uncle didn’t see through such an obvious thing.”Xie Xian shook his head with a smile. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile that seemed helpless and mocking. “Third Uncle is a stupid-”
“This is what my father said.”
These words couldn’t come out of his mouth. After all, he was his elder. However, it was different for Servant Xie. He was Chancellor Xie’s elder brother by blood and was also an insurmountable figure among Third Master Xie’s peers.
Of course, Xie Xian also thought so.
Therefore, he wouldn’t care about what Chancellor Xie said. The two of them weren’t on the same level at all and couldn’t communicate.
“The current situation is even worse than the situation of my brother-in-law Xiao.”Xie Xian changed his words in time. That was his wife’s brother, so he was his brother!
“The reason why the emperor punished my uncle was because the Cai family had bitten him hard and created quite a commotion in Jiankang City. The emperor had to deal with it. But now, it was the time when the Crown Prince and Xin ‘an Prince were fighting for the position of Crown Prince. The Xie family was in the limelight, and although the Cheng family didn’t have much of a background, they were involved in the murder case.”
“Who died?” Xiao Baoxin asked, could it be the young master of some family? Old Master?
“They’re just commoners, but they’re scoundrels in the clan. Their family doesn’t have a proper livelihood.”Xie Xian shook his head. That Cheng clan was more or less related to the Xie clan, so he asked around.
“He just drank too much and died of drunkenness. We don’t know if he had any other diseases, so he definitely didn’t kill anyone for money. However, there were a total of ten brothers in their family. If one of them died, then if the dead one had an enemy, I’m afraid the other nine brothers would be even happier than the enemy. They all risked their lives to bite the Cheng family’s restaurant, wanting to extort a sum of money.”
“If it weren’t for the fact that the stakes are so high, even if Third Uncle used his connections, he wouldn’t have gone in first and come out later.”
“The plaintiff approved it.”
Xiao Baoxin nodded. So that was the case.
That family wanted to extort money. As long as they could squeeze out the money, they didn’t care if people could get in or not.
“However, the princelings will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Xie family dominate. Even if Third Uncle doesn’t stand on the side of Xin ‘an King openly, they will still use Third Uncle as an example and take the opportunity to attack the prestige of our Xie family.”
He said it subtly, but he was actually taking the opportunity to attack him.
Wasn’t he, Xie Xian, the one with the highest position in the Xie Clan?
“Then what should we do?” Xiao Baoxin suddenly stopped and pulled out a silk handkerchief from his wide sleeve. He gently wiped the sweat off his face. His handsome face was sweating. He had made up his mind to walk for an hour.
“What do you mean?”
The silk handkerchief emitted waves of fragrance. Xie Xian’s mind was shaken and he was distracted..
