When had Zhang Guo's concubine ever seen such an "elegant" robbery scene? She was immediately nervous and at a loss. She wanted to directly reprimand the two of them for why they came to rob someone's house like bullies at such a young age.

But they were afraid of offending them and dared not speak directly. After all, Captain Zhang was not ranked among the fathers of these two children...

But with tears in her eyes, she tried her best to remind them that it was inappropriate to do so, but both of them pretended to be stupid:

"What are you afraid of, sister? Just wait until Captain Zhang comes back and ask him to come and ask for it. It's not like we won't return it."

Zhang Guo's concubine was so anxious that she was trembling all over, but she was helpless.

When I sent these two people away, I still felt that they were just children. They were simply two domineering demon kings.

…

…

After Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan came out from Zhang's house with their people, half of the twenty or so government servants and soldiers were holding things in their hands and swaggering through the market.

Pedestrians on the road looked sideways.

Zhou Baldzi followed the horse on the ground and said with a smile on his face: "Two gentlemen, can I go back?"

Shen Liuzhen turned around and said with a smile:

"Why are you going back? Your house is like this. Come to my place and I will take care of the food."

After saying that, as if he thought of something again, he turned around and asked Xie Yuan for his opinion: "Is it okay? He listens to you now."

Xie Yuan's Danfeng glanced at Zhou Tuozi, and his unhappy expression still did not ease. Zhou Tuozi's heart trembled when he saw it, and he heard her say:

"Today is considered a meritorious service. Although I can't make up for my fault, you should be in charge of a meal. What's more, you are in charge of the meal and it's not my family's money."

Shen Liuzhen couldn't help but laugh out loud, his eyes full of joy, and said, "Look at what you're doing."

Xie Yuan was silent. She suddenly remembered the scene when she gave the money bag to Guan Yifei that day, and his limping back carrying the dry food and straw sandals, as well as the people living in shacks outside the city. The children's hearts suddenly became blocked.

She frowned and said a little irritably: "Hurry up." Then she kicked the horse in the stomach and jumped out.

Shen Liuzhen had been with her for so long, so he naturally knew that what she said "hurry up" was not just as simple as "go home quickly", but was also urging her to raise money quickly so that the refugees would not be so miserable. .

The smile on his face faded and he quickly followed.

…

…

Two days later, the always low-key Xie family suddenly held a birthday party for Xie Yuanda. Not only the city, but also famous people in the county posted about it.

Everyone didn't quite understand what this meant. Usually, the purpose of making a lot of arrangements for their children is to get married. They invite people from far and near who are the right match and cast a wide net, just to find a suitable candidate for their children. Marriage home.

Everyone couldn't help but speculate about the Xie family's birthday party.

Although the invitation said it was a girl's birthday party, there are different opinions on whether the Xie family's child is a daughter or a son.

Some say that the Xie family has only one daughter. Some say that the Xie family has only one son. But the strange thing is that both parties swear by it and firmly believe that they are right.

The Xie family has always maintained a noble family tradition, keeping a low profile in social circles, and has not made any big announcement about whether their family is a son or a daughter, or whether they have a son and a daughter. No one knows.

After these invitations were sent out, some people who had always wanted to send their children to the Xie family school and ask Xie Yun to be their teacher suddenly found a way out, so they brought their children to the door with heavy gifts.

There are still some people, although they know that a family like the Xie family attaches great importance to family status when getting married, it is impossible for them to marry their daughter to an ordinary family, or let their son marry someone with no family background.

But because Xie Yuan unusually invited a wide range of guests this time, it gave them some hope... maybe?

If you can join a noble family like the Xie family, your reputation and future as an official in the court will be much greater.

So when everyone came, they were afraid that the gifts they brought would lose their weight, so they tried their best to be thoughtful and unique.

Xie Yuan scratched the pillars of the portico and watched the housekeeper and another servant sitting at the table and hurriedly recording the gift list with a pen. Because there were too many people, the two of them were too busy to write together.

The gifts that have been registered will be taken one by one by the maid to the room next to them and piled up.

Xie Yuan's eyes followed the gift boxes and packages, like a puppy looking at meat and bones, his eyes shining brightly.

"A pair of gold and goat-fat white jade bowls..."

The butler who had been writing rubbed his sore wrist, smiled and apologized to the guests and attendants who stayed here to hand over the gifts, and then continued to write urgently.

Xie Yuan looked anxious and was about to step out to help. He was grabbed by a maid behind him:

"Ayuan, Madam is looking for you everywhere, come with me quickly."

Xie Yuan glanced at the gifts again with nostalgia, let go of the pillar, turned around and followed.

…

In the backyard, Mrs. Xie held up a little girl's top, which was bright and colorful, and nodded with satisfaction.

Since Xie's father took a concubine, a heavy stone in her heart has been lifted, and another one has hit her, although she no longer blames herself every day like she did some time ago.

But I still shed tears, look sad every day, and rarely smile.

When she touched this new dress, the sadness on her face suddenly disappeared, and she said with emotion to the maid serving beside her:

"A Yuan has grown up in the blink of an eye. He is already eleven. Time flies so fast."

The maid opened her mouth, wondering what to say next. Xie Yuan had already opened the curtain and entered the room.

Mrs. Xie smiled when she saw her chest rising and breathing slightly, took her hand and said:

"Did you run away like crazy again? Didn't you show your composure to me before entering the door? Didn't I tell you that you should have a graceful manner when walking, sitting and lying down? It's not respectable to run around like crazy all the time."

Xie Yuan pursed his lips and said seriously: "Mom... the maid said that you have been looking for me for a long time. I was afraid that you would run away in a hurry. Don't worry, no one will see you."

Mrs. Xie reached out and touched her face, holding back a smile and said, "No matter if there is someone or not, you have to be more steady. You are not a child anymore, you know? You have to learn more from Liu Zhen on this."

Xie Yuan heard this: Learn from Shen Liuzhen? Shen Liuzhen complained when he was too lazy to take more than two steps. What's there to learn from? Isn't it just that he can pretend to be good at everything and please adults?

I don’t know why, but everyone in her family likes to be well-behaved and obedient, but it’s Master who likes her so much when he sees her being lively and active...

She and Shen Liuzhen were really born into the wrong family. They should have exchanged sons for each other...

She couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, but she was afraid of upsetting her mother, so she curled her lips and said nothing.

Mrs. Xie turned around, lifted up the bright dress, and said happily to Xie Yuan:

"Go put it on and let Mom take a look."

Xie Yuan glanced at the dress and immediately became angry and said loudly: "Mom! Why do you have to wait for me to grow up to be a daughter? I told you I don't want to wear a dress!"
