Chapter 032 Is there going to be another big thing happening to the Xie family?
"Yes, the headmaster." Xia quickly held her son back to avoid being called rude.
Xie Jian stood up and greeted him with a bow: "Disciple greets the dean." He also saluted the old man next to him.
Chen Heng and Xia Shi also hurriedly bowed.
The first thing Xie Mintong learned from Master Qi was etiquette, and he did it in a very formal way.
"Oh, isn't this the little kid who helped me up when he slipped on the bridge a few days ago?" The old man looked kind and had a friendly smile.
The word "yo" had a long sound, and Chen Heng felt that it had some flavor. If she raised her orchid finger and said this word, she would be a eunuch from the inner palace. She glanced at the lotus on Xiao Min'er's forehead which had faded a lot, and thought, don't think too much about it, it's impossible.
The white-bearded man smiled and looked from Xie Min to Xie Jian: "You came to me now to prepare for the imperial examination next year?"
"Yes. I hope you will give me your blessing, Master." Xie Jian knew that as soon as he stood here, the Master would understand what he was thinking.
Chen Heng saw the old man waving at little Xie Min, touching his head and pinching his tender face, his affection overflowing with expression. She felt increasingly uneasy, thinking it surely couldn't be such a coincidence.
Just when Shen Heng's attention was focused on little Xie Min, her hand was suddenly pulled by Xia Shi. With a 'bang', she fell to her knees on the ground. Oh, her knees hurt so much.
"Principal, please let Ajian go to school." Xia Shi couldn't come up with any profound ideas, so she could only do something for her brother-in-law in such a clumsy way.
Chen Heng looked at her knees that were in close contact with the ground. She had to kneel for the first time in her life. After all, it was in the court. But it was too casual for her to kneel for the first time in her life.
The dean stroked his white beard, looking at Xie Jian, whose face was respectful but whose eyes always revealed a hint of resentment, and said calmly, "Xie Jian, you also know the reason why I persuaded you to drop out. Although many years have passed, it still caused many negative effects on the college. Even some of your classmates are worried that you will become like your father and suffer from mental illness."
Xie Jian slowly tightened his hands in his sleeves and said in a calm tone, "I can live in seclusion, have no contact with anyone, and never wander into other people's places. I still ask the dean to allow me to enroll."
"Headmaster, I kowtow to you." Xia said as she was about to pull Chen Heng to kowtow together.
Chen Heng frowned when she heard Xie Jian say this. This was too unfair. Seeing Xia Shi say this, she quickly said, "Headmaster, I am Xie Jian's wife. My father is Shen Rongwei, a great philanthropist in Nanqi County. I have a few words to say."
Let me introduce myself first. Although we are no longer related, our origins cannot be severed.
"you say."
"Xie Jian's classmates are suffering from mental problems, but that's just their own cowardice. What does it have to do with Xie Jian? If they can be blamed for that, then shouldn't we blame the people who grow the food if we can't eat it? Should we blame the teachers in the academy if we can't pass the imperial examination?" Shen Heng said gently.
Seeing that her sister-in-law was so bold, Xia quickly tugged at her sleeve and told her not to offend the headmaster.
Xie Jian looked at Chen Heng with some surprise, but his tightly clenched hands in his sleeves slowly loosened.
"My father-in-law's case was a muddled one, with insufficient evidence and he was executed." Chen Heng ignored Xia and continued, "Let's not even discuss whether my father-in-law was wrongly accused. There's a young man in the Xie clan named Xie Quan, and I'm sure the headmaster has heard about his story. He was supposed to take the imperial examination, but he and the gang did something inappropriate to my family. He's so well-educated, but he has no moral integrity. Although the government convicted my father-in-law, Xie Jian, my eldest sister-in-law, Xia, has never done anything against the will of heaven or morality."
