Translator: 549690339 |
“Grandmother taught me.” Xie Yan pulled up the corners of his mouth and said with an obedient smile.
” Dao, may Dao, very Dao.”
In a few words, he summarized the words ” gentleman ” and ” all” in the simplest words.
Who said that he didn’t know how to be a gentleman?
You’re a child prodigy.” With Patriarch Xie’s praise, the clansmen who were originally surrounding him became even more unrestrained and praised him without restraint.
“In the future, the Xie family will rely on Ah Yan.”
“Green comes from the basket.”
“Xuan Hui, this is your son. He knows so much at such a young age…Do you know all nine chapters of arithmetic?
“I really don’t know how to do this!” Xie Yan didn’t lie at all. In his previous life, he didn’t learn the nine chapters of arithmetic well and only knew a little. Now, he did not dare to show off in front of an expert.
He was still a child, so it was not embarrassing to admit this.
Being surrounded by his clansmen, Xie Xian was rather relaxed. Looking at Xie Yan’s smile, he actually also had a rare smile on his lips, allowing him to act cute.
The members of the Xie Clan would definitely think highly of Xie Xian. It was all thanks to Xie Xian that the Xie Clan could become the leader of the aristocratic families today.
The people of the Xie clan had studied and trained hard since they were young. They were not thrown away for nothing. They all thought they were talented. However, there were still a few who could enter Jiankang and the court. It was rare for Xie Xian to come to the clan, so many young and strong people wanted to be recommended by Xie Xian.
They were all clansmen and were scholars, so they had their own pride. What could they do? They couldn’t just go straight to the point and recommend themselves. When they received the news, they ran to the Xie Clan Leader to make friends. They wanted the clan leader to come forward and vouch for them in front of Xie Xian.
Chief Xie had his own children and grandchildren. His eldest son and eldest grandson were Zongzi and would be the chief in the future. However, he had a strong reproductive ability. He had six sons and more than twenty grandchildren. The descendants of the chief’s family alone accounted for one- fifth of the people in Xiapi.
The clansmen understood and knew that they had used their strength for nothing. If there were benefits, why not use them on their own children and grandchildren first?
So the reception Xie Xian time, that is full of enthusiasm, all want to show a little face in front of Xie Xian.
How could Xie Xian not see it? He pretended not to see it.
He wouldn’t answer no matter what.
When they were full of food and wine, the Xie Clan Leader chased away all the clansmen and closed the door to talk to Xie Xian. It was nothing more than to praise the disciples of the clan, or to hope that Xie Xian could guide the clansmen.
He did not directly bring it to his own disciples. Instead, he considered the future of the entire clan.
“I didn’t come to Xiapi just to present the clan certificate. I also wanted to ask about the academic aspirations of my granduncle’s descendants. If he was really interested in the court and had real talent and learning, he did not have to be close to the virtuous. He would definitely choose talents for the court.” “Granduncle, why don’t you bring a talented and determined person here for Xian to see for himself?”Xie Xian did not avoid Xie Yan when he said these words to the Clan Leader and kept him by his side.
The one-and-a-half-year-old child nestled at the side, as quiet as a chicken.
When it was time for him to show off, he would spare no effort. When it was time for serious matters, he would definitely not jump out and cause trouble.
Even Xie Clan Leader had neglected Xie Yan who was in the room.
It was only when he happily walked out and Xie Yan followed him out that Xie Clan Leader realized with shock that Xie Yan had been by his side all along.
This child…Wasn’t he a little too smart?
“Ah Yan…” Xie Clan Head stretched out his hand to stroke Xie Yan’s head and said to Xie Xian,”In my opinion, Ah Yan is the one who should be nurtured the most. He is the most likely person in the clan to inherit your mantle.
“I was thinking too much before. As expected, you were right to bring Ah Yan by your side so that he could hear and see more.”
“This child is even more intelligent than you were back then.”Although he said that, the Xie Clan Leader’s brows did not loosen.
Actually, he didn’t think it was a good thing to know these things at such a young age. There is a saying that wisdom is bound to hurt. Xie Xian had been exceptionally intelligent since he was young, but he had always been weak and sickly ever since he was born.
But this was a sudden change.
When he was young, he was weak. He always looked like there was no tomorrow. A gust of wind could blow him away. Every time the seasons changed, even he, as his granduncle, had to worry about whether he could survive.
Who would have thought that the older he grew, the better his body became. Especially after they got married, having two children for three years was also a blessing.
He even suspected that Mother Xie had acted willfully back then, disregarding the old rules of not marrying for generations and setting up this marriage with the Xiao family for Xie Xian. She had found an expert to calculate that Xie Xian would prosper.
Otherwise, there was no reason for their health to improve year after year after marriage, and for their sons to be born like jumping beans, right?
Grand Uncle Xie didn’t say it out loud, but he kept it in his heart. No matter how the clansmen discussed Xiao Baoxin’s unworthy, he didn’t agree. There might be a reason for this. Just like the cows, sheep, and pigs in the river, they were sacrificed to the river god to ensure their safety.
When one was old, there were some things that could not be trusted.
“You’re still young, so it’s good to show off your abilities appropriately.”When Xie Xian and Xie Yan were talking, their attitudes were very equal, unlike when they were talking to a child.
“What about him?” At this moment, Xiao Baoxin came out from the inner room with a disheveled expression.
Who said that the Xie family looked down on her and didn’t like her? He was simply too enthusiastic and treated her like a rare object, making her hair stand on end.
Of course, excluding some people who had ulterior motives and wanted to get Xie Xian’s recommendation through her going to the backhouse, she was still very popular…There were two ladies who really liked her.
She was really a young lady. She was only four or five years old. That was the true language of children. If she liked it, she liked it. If she hated it, she hated it. Candles were lit in the room, and the dim yellow light did not affect Xiao Baoxin’s beauty in the slightest, makingXie Xian’s heart flutter.
Even if he were to glance at Xie Yan, in his eyes, it was a face that was both smiling and angry, moving one’s soul.
“Mother.” Xie Yan was much more obedient in front of Xiao Baoxin, not so cute to sell.
They were all insiders, so they really couldn’t put down their faces. Even though she was his biological mother, she was younger than his daughter. She was also incapable of getting close to him and acting coquettishly.
Xie Xian didn’t respond to Xiao Baoxin’s question. Instead, he asked her if she was used to it and if she ate well.
Xiao Baoxin was not a picky eater. She was a little too enthusiastic, but she had no prejudice against food. They were all delicious and smooth.
With just a few words, Xiao Baoxin was abducted. When she came back to her senses, Xie Yan had already asked the maid to take her away to rest.
“Is Ah Yan doing something again?” Xiao Baoxin frowned. After bringing Xie Yan out, she realized that this fellow was addicted to hugging onto a thigh. Perhaps he was trying to curry favor with Xie Xian, but he was also used to fawning over him and showing off. What he loved the most was to say shocking words to show off.
.. it could only be said that he was really unscrupulous now, and he was increasingly wrapping himself up as a premature intelligence.
He had already surpassed the level of early wisdom, and there were even people calling him a prodigy among the women.
Xie Xian was always around along the way. Even if Xiao Baoxin saw it, he didn t have the time to warn Xie Yan. He used his eyes. She didn’t know if Xie Yan really didn’t see it or was pretending not to see it.
On the contrary, Xie Xian thought that her eyes were dry and sick, so he kept closing his eyes and resting.
