Chapter 228
Xuezhu sat down obediently, and ate quietly but quickly.
Relying on his diligent sweeping style, he enjoyed himself very much among the maids like Mrs.
These maids and sisters like to occasionally stuff him with candy, fruit, snacks and the like.
Not long after, the poisonous lady also came.
Then, the round steward came along.
In the end, the house elder came too cheeky.
Baofu frowned and looked at the house elder vigilantly: "Who are you?! How dare you break into the prefectural government office!"
The elder of the house bowed his head: "The slave is the servant of my son."
Baofu didn't believe it at all: "I haven't seen you."
The elder of the house shrank back: "The newcomer."
In the end, it was Yuan Guanshi, the poisonous lady, and Xuezhu who testified for him, and Baofu was willing to let the elders sit down to eat.

Thank you, I have been drinking for three tours.
Wu Weian and Ji Yunxi wanted to say goodbye, but Madam Xie happily took Ji Yunxi's hand: "Mother Yun, how about a cup of tea in my aunt's house?"
The head of the Xie family also smiled: "Master Wei An, I just recently received a calligraphy and painting, and I said that it was a bamboo and stone picture that I asked Mr. An about. I think you scholars will love these. Would you like to come and see it with me."
Hearing Mr. Wen'an's picture of bamboo and stone, the slightly drunk Wu Weian's eyes lit up and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey."
He looked at Ji Yunxi, and his tone was somewhat instructive: "Then Madam, let's go have a cup of tea."
Ji Yunxi nodded 'submissively' and followed Madam Xie away.
Wu Weian also followed the Xie family to the study.
The bamboo and stone picture was hung on the main hall, and the Xie family master's face was full of pride: "You see? This is Mr. Wen's bamboo and stone picture! There are only nine pictures in the world, I have one, and I still spend five Qianliang bought it!"
He held up five fat fingers, exposing the emerald gems on them that gleamed in the candlelight.
Wu Weian put his hands behind his back and looked deeply at the bamboo and stone picture.
I don't know what would happen to the other party if he told the master that this bamboo and stone picture was fake?
As for Mr. An's genuine work, five thousand taels can't be bought at all. The picture in Ji Yunxi's hand was sold for 15,000 yuan, and Ji Mingxi was not willing to spend the money.
Xie Patriarch looked at Wu Weian, who was obsessed next to him, took out a box from the side, and handed it to Wu Weian.
Wu Weian took it naturally.
Xie Patriarch took this action in his eyes calmly.
The newly appointed Master Zhizhou, this gesture, you can see that he is not greedy for money at a glance, his hands already have instinct.
Patriarch Xie said cheerfully: "A little gift for Lord Wei'an to take office, it's not much, it's only five hundred taels."
He said it was not much, but in fact he felt that he had given a lot.
When the last Zhizhou adult first took office, he gave three hundred taels, and the other party was already very satisfied.
But what about Wu Weian? The other party came from Shangjing, and he was young and promising. He might become a high-ranking official in the capital in the future. Of course, he was willing to give more.
Wu Weian lifted the lid and took a look.
On the way to the study, Wu Weian was also guessing how much the Xie family head would bribe him.
He thought at least a few thousand taels.
But the result, five hundred taels?
That's it? ? ?
The head of the Xie family saw that Wu Weian looked at the silver pair inside and did not speak, thinking that the other party was struggling between justice and evil, and he was swaying, so he persuaded him: "I have no other intentions. The conditions of the Liangzhou government are not very good, and I want to live a good life. Even better, it will cost a lot of money. But Lord An will worry about this and that for me in Liangzhou in the future, and I will naturally want the best food and drink."
"Furthermore, in the future, if the adults have a place to spend money, you can come to me at any time. And this bamboo and stone picture--" The words of the master of the Xie family have deep meaning, "If my Xie family and Lord Wei'an have a deep relationship in the future, this Bamboo and stone pictures can also be given to you, Lord Wei'an. We have a long way to go in Japan."
Chapter 70
When Ji Yunxi came out of Madam Xie's room, she met Xie Bin, the eldest young master of the Xie family, on the corridor.
Xie Bin stood in the way, imitating the appearance of Mr. Qianqian, and said with a greasy face: "I heard that Madam is the daughter of the Ji family, and she has a national color and fragrance. When I see it today, it is really extraordinary."
See micro-knowledge.
Ji Yunxi walked around the Xie family today, and knew that the Xie family was coming to an end.
The reason why the Xie family was arrogant and domineering in Liangzhou, Ji Yunxi and Mrs. Xie had finished talking, and they had already made a judgment.
1. The ancestors of the Xie family are a ruthless character, and have left enough rich family property to their descendants.
2. Mrs. Xie is the younger sister of an elder of the Beishan Sword Sect. The elder is very skilled, so no one dares to provoke the Xie family.
Relying on these two aspects, the Xie family can now sit back and relax.
But Ji Yunxi knew Wu Weian.
Although he didn't say anything, she didn't need to ask, and she knew that Wu Weian was going to use Xie's family to operate and give him prestige in Liangzhou in the future.
There is no need for Ji Yunxi to act again, so it would not be bad if he could provoke Xie Bin to take action against her.
She glanced at Xie Bin lightly, and said casually: "The uncle is too fat. For the sake of health, let's eat less. The uncle ate the most on the table just now. Aren't you afraid of dying?"
After speaking, she smiled contemptuously and walked away without looking back.
Madam Xie's maid stared blankly at Ji Yunxi's back.
