Chapter 5 He is not greedy for money at all, really!
In Zaolin Alley, the waiter waiting at the door saw Xie Yuan and immediately waved to him.
Xie Yuan quickly walked up to him.
"When did you come? Just wait and wait!"
Very approachable.
"No, we just arrived."
Xie Yuan nodded and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the girl standing with her back to him, and he stopped in his tracks.
The waiter walked from behind Xie Yuan and said loudly: "Miss Jiang, Master Jiang, the Master of Juren is here."
Jiang Mingyue turned around and looked into a pair of calm black eyes.
Jiang Mingyue: "..."
Jiang Mingyue: "Huh?"
What kind of wonderful fate is this? I met this man twice in one day. Isn't he a doctor? How come you have become a master of civil engineering again?
Jiang Minghong was shocked at first when he saw Xie Yuan. He didn't expect that this house actually belonged to him, and then he was happy. It seemed that even God was helping him in this life.
"Does this house belong to you?" Jiang Mingyue calmed down before speaking.
Xie Yuan nodded and said "hmm" gently and concisely.
Jiang Minghong, who was originally paying attention to Xie Yuan, heard the conversation between the two and looked at his sister with confusion. Before he could speak, the waiter asked: "Do you know each other?"
Instead, he asked what he wanted to ask.
Jiang Mingyue: This is a good question. Do they know each other or not? She did not answer the man, but tilted her head slightly to look at Xie Yuan, throwing the question to him.
Xie Yuan looked away from the girl and looked at the guy: "We know you!"
Jiang Minghong looked at Xie Yuan and then at his sister in surprise. How did they know each other? Why didn't he know? He would ask his sister later.
"Now that we all know each other, it will be easier to handle. The price of this house is four hundred and fifty taels. Do Miss Jiang and Young Master Jiang have any objections?"
Jiang Minghong looked at Xie Yuan when he originally had objections, but now he had no objections.
Jiang Mingyue saw that her brother had not spoken yet, so she could only go into battle in person: "Xie Juren, your house is very good. We, my sister and I, like it very much. The only thing is that the house is too empty. We need to buy a lot of things if we want to move in. Is it cheaper?"
Who doesn't know that Xie Yuan is a gold-swallowing beast that can only get in and out? It may be impossible for his sister to want him to lower the price, but Jiang Minghong didn't stop him and allowed his sister to do what he wanted.
"Master Juren, Miss Jiang is in trouble at home. She brought her younger brother to our place to seek refuge with her relatives, but the relatives are no longer here.
Her brother was seriously ill a few days ago and he doesn't have much money left. If possible, can you lower the price? "The waiter had heard about Jiang Mingyue's experience and sympathized with them, so he spoke a few words to help her.
Xie Yuan looked past the boy and landed on Jiang Mingyue again.
"Is everything he said true?"
Listening to Xie Yuan's tone, knowing that there was still room for negotiation, Jiang Mingyue nodded hurriedly.
"How about it being cheaper to thank the candidate?"
Jiang Mingyue's voice was already soft and soft, and when she asked for help, she slowed down and her voice became even softer. The waiters who listened wanted to agree on Xie Yuan's behalf.
Looking at the girl's pitiful eyes, Xie Yuan's chest heaved.
"Can!"
Seeing that her eyes suddenly brightened, Xie Yuan opened his thin lips and said again: "How about three hundred and fifty taels?"
Look at how generous he is, he's really not greedy for money at all, really.
Jiang Minghong and the clerk were shocked. They dropped the price by one hundred taels? Is the person in front of me still the same Xie Yuan?
The boy looked at Jiang Mingyue and then at Xie Yuan. Suddenly he seemed to realize something and grinned.
A clear smile appeared on Jiang Mingyue's lips, and she felt even more happy! One hundred taels, she actually cut down one hundred taels, Jiang Mingyue, you are really amazing.
"Master Juren is a good man, thank you!"
The girl's voice was sweet and sweet, and the smile in her watery peach blossom eyes was very attractive. Xie Yuan restrained himself and looked away from her face.
"You're welcome! Do you have any other questions?"
Jiang Mingyue turned to look at her younger brother.
Jiang Minghong, who had calmed down: "No more!"
Xie Yuan's eyes drooped and he took a serious look at the little boy for the first time. The two siblings were very similar, and they were both very eye-catching.
"Since there are no other questions, we can go to the Yamen now to sign the house deed."
Jiang Mingyue and the two made eye contact.
"it is good!"
The guy heard this and said happily: "I'll lead the way!"
The three of them followed him out of the alley.
"You bought a house but you plan to live here?" Xie Yuan seemed to be just chatting casually with them.
Jiang Mingyue was worried about how to talk to him, but she never thought that he would take the initiative to speak. She lowered her head and touched her brother's little head.
"We have this plan, but we have to wait until my brother enters a private school before making arrangements."
Xie Yuan nodded and asked: "Which private school are you going to enter? Maybe I can give you a reference."
The girl also said just now that he is a good person and he must be worthy of the word 'good person'.
"Yu's private school!"
Xie Yuan stopped and turned around to look at Jiang Mingyue.
"What a coincidence, I am the teacher of Yu's private school."
He paused and looked at Jiang Minghong.
"Are you enlightened?"
Jiang Minghong was shocked when he heard that Xie Yuan planned to take him to the school. The opportunity to meet Xie Yuan came. He suppressed all the thoughts in his mind and said: "My father enlightened me when I was three years old."
"What books do you read on weekdays?"
"The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius, The Great Learning, and Mencius."
"No king is benevolent, and no king is unjust. How can he be righteous?"
These two sentences are very simple. Jiang Minghong immediately replied: "As a minister, you should be honest as the king."
Xie Yuan asked again: "A gentleman cherishes virtue, while a villain cherishes earth. A gentleman cherishes punishment, while a villain cherishes favor. What's the meaning?"
This time Jiang Minghong thought for a moment before answering.
…………
Jiang Mingyue listened for a while and found that the questions asked by Xie Yuan in the exam were gradually easier and harder, and they covered the four books.
When the younger brother faced Xie Yuan, although he looked the same as usual on the surface, his attitude was extremely respectful. In his previous life, Xie Yuan should have achieved extraordinary things and he was a being that his younger brother needed to look up to.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mingyue glanced at the man, her eyelashes twitching slightly. No one knew what she was thinking at this moment.
After Xie Yuan took several exams in succession, he had a general understanding of Jiang Minghong's situation.
"Yes, you have a solid foundation and have your own unique insights into issues. If you go to Yu's private school, I can help introduce you."
Jiang Minghong suppressed the joy in his heart and saluted Xie Yuan respectfully.
"Thank you sir!"
"You're welcome!"
Jiang Mingyue smiled and gave Jiang Minghong a thumbs up.
"My brother is awesome!"
Jiang Minghong, who was relatively calm at first, slowly turned red after hearing his sister's praise.
There was a slight smile on the girl's face, and her whole person was smart, lively and bright.
Xie Yuan struggled to look away and saw the Yamen in front of him, reminding him, "We are here."
Jiang Mingyue glanced at the Yamen, leaned over and said to her younger brother: "I only have two hundred taels with me, and I didn't bring that much money when I went out."
Xie Yuan glanced at the two siblings who were whispering, then strode forward in a smart way, caught up with the guy, and started chatting with him.
"I brought it."
Jiang Minghong, who had been prepared for a long time, took out a purse from the innermost pocket of his clothes and handed it to his sister: "There are five hundred taels in it."
Jiang Mingyue put away her purse and saw that Xie Yuan and the others were already waiting for them, so she took her brother's hand and walked over in a hurry.
A group of four people walked into the county government office. There was an endless stream of people greeting Xie Yuan. They all had gentle and kind eyes. Some said they wanted to treat Xie Yuan to dinner, and some said that Xie Yuan hadn't been here for a long time. There were two others. A petty official came specially to ask Xie Yuan a question.
Jiang Mingyue glanced at the man in surprise. How could he be so familiar with the people in the Yamen?
