Chapter 1736: Shanyin Xie Family, the Talented Lady Daoyun

It is now the end of August.

After night falls, the sky is full of stars.

"Sister Wuxia, it's late at night, should we close the window?"

The little maid Xing'er asked a question, and after getting a response, she pulled another little maid Taohong and started closing the doors and windows.

There were two beautiful ladies sitting on the bamboo couch. The one with a face like a full moon was wearing a white dress and a light yellow cape. After yawning, she looked at the beautiful lady with an oval face and said:

"Sister Wuxia, I'm really tired, shall we take a rest?"

When Gu Xinlian started speaking, the look in her eyes towards Yu Wuxia was filled with undisguised awe and admiration.

Before coming to Sanqiao Lane, Gu Xinlian still thought that she could rely on her beauty to win the favor of men and make her mark.

As a result, in just a few days, Yu Wuxia had beaten her to a pulp.

In terms of appearance, Gu Xinlian can only be regarded as a girl from a small family, while Yu Wuxia is a lady from a wealthy family, with fair skin, beautiful looks and long legs.

When it comes to housekeeping, needlework, poetry, singing and dancing, Gu Xinlian is far inferior.

"It's only the first watch of the night. Will you be able to sleep after you go back?"

Yu Wuxia seemed to be infected and yawned as well. She looked at the half-embroidered robe in her arms and said seriously:

"Winter will arrive next month. We need to make a few sets of winter clothes before the young master returns from his vacation."

"It's not cold in winter, so why should we wear winter clothes?"

Gu Xinlian grumbled something, but did not dare to disobey Yu Wuxia, so she could only continue to work with her.

The room fell silent again.

……

dong dong dong-

"Who?"

Xing'er was dozing off by the stove. When she heard a knock on the door, she sat up in shock.

"it's me!"

Su Mingzhe's voice startled the four girls in the room.

"Sister Wuxia, I think I heard the young master's voice?"

Xing'er couldn't believe it. She turned around and looked at Yu Wuxia. She saw that Yu Wuxia had already walked down from the bamboo couch with bare feet. She didn't even have time to put on white socks. She was wearing wooden clogs and took small steps to the door.

"Sir, is that you?"

"It's me, open the door."

Su Mingzhe's voice came into the room again. This time, Yu Wuxia did not hesitate and opened the door directly. She saw a man standing at the door with a bag in his hand.

"Don't block me. I haven't had dinner yet. Someone go get me something to eat."

Su Mingzhe spoke again, allowing Yu Wuxia and Gu Xinlian to come to their senses. They quickly asked Xing'er and Taohong to prepare dinner.

……

Had dinner.

The servant Mingyan had already boiled hot water with the servants.

Yu Wuxia originally thought that the man would let Gu Xinlian help him bathe.

Unexpectedly, Su Mingzhe just carried her into the hot spring.

After some affectionate love.

Yu Wuxia lay quietly in the man's arms, enjoying his caress for a while, then she remembered to ask:

"Sir, why did you suddenly come down the mountain?"

"The headmaster has a mission for me. I have to go to Shanyin tomorrow."

Su Mingzhe did not tell Zhu Yingtai about the mission, nor would he tell Yu Wuxia.

Yu Wuxia didn't ask any further questions. After all, she was just a woman in the inner palace.

After leaving the hot spring, Yu Wuxia wiped the water off the two of them. Seeing that the man was interested again, she hesitated for a moment before shyly speaking:

"Sir, do you want Sister Xinlian to serve you?"

"Forget it. I'm leaving tomorrow. I won't bother with that anymore."

Su Mingzhe's cultivation has not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, so he doesn't want to live an absurd life.

The next day.

After having breakfast with Yu Wuxia and Gu Xinlian waiting on him, Su Mingzhe, along with his servant Mingyan, rode towards Shanyin County.

……

The famous scholar that Wang Shiyu asked Su Mingzhe to invite lived in Shanyin County and his surname was Xie. Regarding the Xie family of Shanyin, someone in later generations wrote:
"On the Shanyin Road, the sweet osmanthus flowers are blooming, and the style of Wang and Xie spreads in the Book of Jin."

The Xie family had just been promoted by the Eastern Jin royal family and had only been on par with the Wang family for a short time. The family tradition was relatively strict, and there were few playboys but many talented men among the family's sons.

Among the younger generation, the most famous is Xie Daojun, the niece of the current Prime Minister Xie An.

In the TV series, Xie Daoyuan was invited to the academy as a visiting professor after the New Year.

Now, because of Su Mingzhe, Xie Daoyuan will probably have to go to the academy three or four months earlier.

……

It is only a little over a hundred miles from Hangzhou to Shanyin County.

Two men were riding on horseback.

When they arrived in Shanyin County, the two men did not enter the city, but continued on their journey south.

Soon, they arrived at the Xie family's territory.

At this time, although the sun was setting, it had not yet fallen.

The Xie family lived on the eastern foot of Kuaiji Mountain in Shanyin County.

From afar, the crisscrossing fields and the strip of water are truly a prosperous scene with beautiful mountains and abundant natural resources.

……

Arrived at the door of Xie’s house.

Su Mingzhe took out the business card of Nishan Academy and handed it to the doorman.

……

The aristocratic families in the world are divided into three levels according to their family status: the first and second ranks are aristocratic families, the third and fourth ranks are famous families, the fifth, sixth and seventh ranks are local wealthy families, and the eighth and ninth ranks are poor families.

The Xie family of Chenjun and the Wang family of Taiyuan were of the same rank and were also the leaders of many prominent families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The Zhu family of Shangyu could only be considered a third or fourth rank famous family.

As for the Su family.

The Wugong Su family is considered a famous family of the third or fourth rank.

However, the Yuyao Su family indulged in depravity and engaged in business, which led to the decline of their family status. Now they can only be regarded as a local wealthy family of the fifth or sixth rank.

This is also because the gap in family background between the Xie family of Chenjun and the Su family of Yuyao is too big.

When Su Mingzhe came to the Xie family to ask to see Xie Daoyuan, he could not use the name of Yuyao Su family and could only rely on the title of Wang Shiyu, the principal of Nishan Academy.

After all, Wang Shiyu was born into the Wang family of Taiyuan, which was of the same status as the Xie family.

……

The visiting card was handed to the Xie family, and the doorman immediately went in to report.

Today, Xie An, the leader of the Xie family, holds the position of Shizhong and Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Xie and some of the Xie family members lived in Wuyi Lane in Jiankang City, the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Most of those who stayed in the Xie family in Shanyin County were widows, widowers, orphans (the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled) of the Xie family.

The headmaster Wang Shiyu wanted to invite Xie Daoyuan, whose parents had both died when she was young. When she was young, she studied with her uncle Xie An. After she became an adult, she stayed in the Xie family's base in Dongshan to study.

……

Xie Daoyuan is 27 years old this year and unmarried. However, she is famous for her talent and is sought after by many men from prominent families who want to marry her.

Unfortunately, Xie Daoyuan looked down on any of them.

To men of this era, she is just a loner.

However, in the eyes of those ladies from famous families, he is definitely an idol.

Many daughters of prominent families, after hearing about Xie Daoyuan's deeds, became her crazy fans.

Among these fans are Zhu Yingtai and Su Mingzhe’s runaway fiancée, Miss Zhou.

……

Xie Daoyun took the name card handed to her by the maid Qingyin and after reading it, she was puzzled:
"Su Mingzhe from Nishan Academy? This name sounds familiar..."

Qingyin quickly reminded:
"Miss, have you forgotten that Miss Zhou, who came to you at the beginning of the month, has a husband who is not married yet, and his name is this, right?"

Over the years, Xie Daoyuan has become famous, and countless ladies from prominent families have come to visit her.

Among them, there were dozens of people who escaped from their marriages.

"Could it be that this Su Mingzhe is the husband of Zhou's younger sister?"

Xie Daoyun recalled for a moment, then suddenly remembered:
"Hasn't the Zhou family's sister already gone home? Is he coming here now to settle the score?"

After hearing her mistress's guess, the maid Qingyin felt like complaining.

This is the base camp of Chenjun Xie's. Even if Su Mingzhe is very brave, he would never come here alone to cause trouble.
Xie Daoyun also reacted quickly and her pretty face blushed:
"Go and come in!"
