Chapter 9
When the eunuch who delivered the order went to Xie's Mansion to find someone, Xie Jiuhuan was helping Miao wash and set up a stall to make snacks.Father Xie took Xie Shiquan in the study room, euphemistically calling it teaching his son to read. In fact, Father Xie was sitting on a recliner and dozing off, while Xie Shiquan drew a little figure on the paper with a pen.

"The Holy One declares me to enter the palace," after receiving Emperor Xuan Jing's oral instructions, Mr. Xie ran to the backyard and whispered to his wife and children who were staying in the backyard.

Mrs. Miao immediately trembled and said worriedly: "Master, are you going to be demoted again?"

Xie Shiquan: "Relegation? Ninth rank?"

Xie Jiuhuan thought for a while and said, "If you are reduced to the ninth rank, do you need to be announced by the Holy Master in person?" Is it so ceremonial?
As for the demotion, Father Xie can accept it. The eighth- and ninth-grade officials are all minor officials. There is not much difference, but this is really not something that the Holy Emperor should tell him personally. "I don't know," said Father Xie, "I haven't done much recently."

Xie Jiuhuan thought, it's not just that you haven't done much recently. In your 30 years as an official, have you ever done any serious work?
Xie Shiquan said at this time: "Ah, is it possible that the Holy Master is going to promote Dad?"

Miao slapped her son on the back of the head, "What are you daydreaming about!"

As long as His Majesty the Emperor is not crazy about gain or loss, he will not be able to do such a thing.

Father Xie didn't realize that he was despised by his wife at all. He laughed and said, "I don't think it's possible either. Your Majesty is just old. He's not crazy..."

"Hmm," Mrs. Miao coughed very promptly, not allowing Father Xie to continue talking. The eunuch who delivered the order was still in the front yard. Are you standing in the back yard to speak ill of His Majesty the Emperor?Do you really think your life is too long?

"Ah, what, I went to the palace," Xie Xie cleared his throat and pretended that nothing happened.

"That's all we can do. Master, please come back safely," Mrs. Miao tidied up her official uniform for Mr. Xie.

"Yes, yes," said Father Xie, "It's a pity that my official position is low, and the Holy Emperor will not reward me with food from the imperial kitchen. I really want to bring some back for Jiuhuan to have a taste."

Xie Jiuhuan could only keep smiling. Thank you for not forgetting to feed me at this time, dad!
"Wait until I come back," Father Xie waved to his family, then rode the carriage brought by the eunuch who delivered the order to the imperial palace.

The eunuch brought the carriage over, but was reminded by someone from the Hanlin Academy, saying that Xie Zheng's family had no horses, no sedan bearers, and he didn't know how to spend money to hire a sedan. If you didn't bring the carriage, then Xie Zheng would have to walk. See you.The eunuch who was in charge of the ceremony was doubtful. Unexpectedly, Xie Zhengzhen got on his carriage and acted as if it was natural.

"Your Excellency, you don't ride in a sedan chair every day when you go to the Hanlin Academy?" the eunuch asked Father Xie.

Father Xie sighed: "I have no money. Hey, I'm really ashamed."

Eunuch: "..."

You look like you want to lie down in the car, how can you be ashamed?

The eunuch didn't expect Mr. Xie to give him money. Eunuch Liu kindly reminded Mr. Xie: "My lord, you didn't go to the Hanlin Academy today. When you see the Holy One later, you have to give the Holy One an explanation."

The chief bachelor of your Hanlin Academy has given up on you, but when you come to the Holy Master, you can't help but give an explanation, right?With the salary given by the Holy Father, why don’t you work?
Dad Xie: "Ah, yes, I..."

Eunuch Liu listened carefully. He wanted to hear what excuse this man was going to use. It was a capital crime to deceive the emperor.

Father Xie hesitated for a moment and said angrily: "I forgot to go on duty today." Eunuch Liu was immediately shocked. Forgot?What kind of bullshit is this?Even if you say you are sick, it is better than forgetting, right?
Dad Xie patted his forehead and said, "My memory is really bad."

Eunuch Liu looked at Father Xie for a long time, and finally said, "Okay, whatever you say will be whatever it is."

If he goes on, Eunuch Liu will become worthless for Emperor Xuan Jing. Isn't this just a freeloader?
Because of Eunuch Liu's reminder, when Mr. Xie walked into Emperor Xuanjing's Chengtian Palace, he was wondering if Emperor Xuanjing had sent someone to the Hanlin Academy to inspect the post today. It was found that he was not on duty again. The Holy Emperor finally decided not to tolerate him anymore and wanted to Removed him from office in person?

"Xie Zihe," Emperor Xuan Jing waved, letting him stand up to Xie Xie, who was paying him the royal courtesy.

After Xie stood up from the ground, he mentally accepted the fact that he would be dismissed from office. It seemed that his days of enjoying the royal family's leisure were over.Is it possible that he and his wife will have to set up a stall selling rice noodles in the future?Father Xie suddenly felt very worried. What would he do?
Emperor Xuan Jing took a look at Father Xie. The boy who was the most beautiful boy in high school back then had frost-stained hair on his temples. Apart from that, there was nothing concrete about the passage of time on this man.Xie Zheng is tall and thin, with handsome features, and his appearance is no worse than that of Lin Yong, who had a good reputation when he was young.

Emperor Xuan Jing now believed that Miss Xie Jiu's appearance was good. Her father's appearance was here, how could her daughter be any worse?

"Please sit down," Emperor Xuanjing said.

Dad Xie looked at Lin Yong and Princess Le'an who were already present, and felt that something was wrong. The Holy Emperor asked him to sit down. What was he going to do?
"Zihe," Lin Yong called out to his father and nodded in greeting.

"Ms. Lin," Xie Xie saluted Lin Yong while his mind was racing. He and Lin Yong hadn't spoken to each other for many years. What was he going to do?
"Why didn't you go to the Hanlin Academy today?" Seeing Xie Xie sitting down, Emperor Xuan Jing asked about this first.

"Don't talk about that," Princess Le'an said before Father Xie could reply.

Emperor Xuanjing sees Princess Le'an and wants to talk about the marriage now?Would it be too direct?

Princess Le'an doesn't need face as much as Emperor Xuan Jing does. When asking for help, what face do you need?With a very sincere attitude, Princess Le'an said to Father Xie: "Master Xie, I heard that your ninth girl is of marriageable age. She..."

"What?!" Father Xie jumped up before his butt was even warmed up by sitting on the stool.

Why did he ask his Jiu Huan so politely?Thinking about the news he just heard today, that the youngest son of the Lin family had lost his fiancée, Father Xie became angry when he thought of this.The old saying is true, being courteous for nothing is either adultery or theft. He is eyeing his ninth daughter!

Seeing Xie Xie's attitude, Emperor Xuan Jing and Lin Yong knew that there was no chance. They had just started and Xie Zheng had already jumped. What was there to talk about?

Princess Le'an smiled at Father Xie and said, "If Miss Ninth marries into our Duke of Qin's palace, she can eat whatever she wants. Let alone half a pig, just a whole pig. Our Duke of Qin's palace can afford it every day."

Father Xie frowned and looked at Princess Le'an. He didn't know whether his little girl could eat a whole pig in one meal because she had never tried it. But when Princess Le'an said this, how could he listen? Why are you feeling so uncomfortable?You, the Duke of Qin, can feed my nine daughters a pig a day. How rich are you?
Well, being rich is amazing.

Xie Xie was shamefully excited. He could let his nine daughters eat freely. This was something Xie Xie only dreamed of but was unable to do.

Princess Le'an was staring at Father Xie. With Her Royal Highness's ability to observe words and emotions, she could tell at a glance that her "future in-laws" were shaken in their refusal to marry.

"Thank you, Sir, I can sign the promise with you," Princess Le'an continued to add, "If I can't do it, or if I don't treat the ninth girl well, then let me drown in the world's curse. In my saliva!”
