Rebirth of the Black-bellied Princess Mo

Chapter 42 - Xie Jiming



With the departure of the capital in early summer, the capital returned to a brief period of calm. Until a large number of students rushed to the capital, the hot topic in the capital finally turned from the famous little Houye in the capital to the Spring Examination.

Due to Xia Chu’s instructions, Bingwen booked four rooms early at the Shuangsheng Inn in the capital.

Now that it’s only February, there is no empty inn in the capital. Not to mention going to the house, it is the firewood house and horse pen, and the houses are ruined and temples are now overcrowded. In the huge city of Chang’an, it is even more difficult to find a place to live.

At first, Bingwen thought that the person who could be favored by the early Xia, not to mention well-known, must at least have a little talent. But who would have thought that, apart from knowing that Ji Ming had participated in two spring festivals and gained a reputation for being stubborn, the remaining three were unknown and hard to find.

Bingwen has now raised a smart boy in the courtyard into a book boy, and named him Sang Yi. Early this morning, I took Sang Yi to Tongfu Inn to meet Ji Ming for a while.

Xie Jiming lived in Tongpu at Tongfu Inn. Bingwen asked about it early in the morning. Now, he and the candidates who lived with Xie Jiming had morning tea at a table and chatted from all over the world.

When these students saw that he was very talkative and generous, they couldn’t help but approach each other. Bingwen was obsessed with Xie Jiming, and his eyes glanced at the location of Tongpu from time to time.

After half an hour before Xie Jiming came out, Bingwen asked the candidates who lived with him, “Are all of you here?”

Everyone replied, “Yes.”

Bingwen frowned.

At this time, I heard a boy suddenly say: “There seems to be another one called Jie or something.”

Everyone said clearly again: “That person is not very gregarious. I heard that I have failed the test twice. Every morning I buy a nest in the back kitchen and go back to my room to read, and I don’t go out all day.”

Bingwen sunran, no wonder he has a reputation for being stubborn. Seeing that it was impossible to meet by chance, he raised his hand to say goodbye to the candidates and walked towards Tongpu.

Xie Jiming’s room was extremely remote. Bingwen asked several juniors before he saw the pass-through shop he lived in near the horse pen.

Pushing open the door, the room was dark and damp, and the furnishings were extremely simple. In the small space were six narrow single beds, two cabinets, and a small table by the window. Xie Jiming sat on the ground, next to the small table, flipping through the books by the light. He was not surprised at all when he saw Bingwen who came in, and said calmly, “Is someone else here to be a lobbyist today?”

This time, it was Bingwen’s turn to be surprised.

“Excuse me, is it Mr. Xie Ji Mingjie?”

“Aren’t you the one sent by the Fourth Highness?”

“No, I’m just entrusted by others. Come and see if Mr. Xie can help me.”

Bingwen couldn’t help but secretly startled, what kind of talent even the Fourth Highness sent someone to condescend to win over him.

“No, please come back.”

Xie Jiming’s face was calm and his tone was indifferent.

Bingwen’s salute froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched. This Jie Jiming is really not polite at all.

“Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Xie, I don’t need you to do anything for me, I’m just cherishing talents. Seeing that the environment is bad, why don’t I let me…”

Bingwen was interrupted by Xie Jiming before he could finish speaking.

“I’m not interested in who sent you. I won’t do it if you need it. It’s very good here. Please stay away from me.”

Xie Jiming put on a gesture of seeing off guests.

When Bingwen saw such a thorn, he couldn’t help but help his forehead. He took out a letter from his arms, which was left to him on the parting night at the beginning of summer. He said that if he was persuaded to not understand Ji Ming, he would give this letter to him for a try.

Bingwen took two steps forward and presented the letter with both hands.

“Then I will leave Mr. Xie after reading this letter, so that I can explain to the person I entrusted with.”

Xie Jiming opened the letter annoyed and read it.

Bingwen stood aside a little nervously, and he didn’t know what was written in the letter. Therefore, he has been observing Xie Jiming’s expression.

Seeing him go from frowning and frowning to smiling, his cheeks and ears flushed with layers of blush, his whole face suddenly glowed.

Xie Jiming read the letter and carefully put it away. Standing up from the ground, he bowed to Bingwen with admiration on his face, and asked respectfully, “Whose hand is this letter from?”

The corner of Bingwen’s mouth twitched, thinking that he didn’t even care who sent it. There was a gentle expression on his face: “Mr. Xie, after reading this letter, you must return it to me and destroy it.”

Bingwen didn’t know what was written in this letter, but he knew that it was written by Xia Chu in front of him. He was afraid that if the content above came true, it would be detrimental to Xia Chu.

Xie Jiming hurriedly clutched his chest when he heard the words, and asked nervously, fearing that the treasure would be stolen, “This calligraphy is unrestrained, and the content is unique and exquisite. Why destroy it? If you gave it to me, it’s mine.”

Bingwen couldn’t help holding his forehead, and after a while, he said, “If you keep it properly, you can also temporarily keep it as a collection if you promise not to show it to others.”

“That’s natural.”

Xie Jiming nodded in agreement.

“If that’s the case, Mr. Xie will change residence with me.”

“You haven’t told me who wrote this letter.” Xie Jiming asked stubbornly.

“Mr. Xie, this friend of mine really doesn’t want anything from you. I just appreciate your talent and knowledge. I hope you can spend a little more comfort during your time in the Beijing-Central Science Examination.”

“I don’t need these, I just want to meet him.” Xie Jiming shook his head.

Bingwen is now considered to be the hottest son in the capital, how has he ever received such a cold reception? The corners of his mouth twitched, and he patiently said to him, “My friend, he is no longer in the capital, so he entrusted me to take care of the gentleman. When he returns to Beijing, I will definitely recommend it to you.”

“really?”

Xie Jiming was still struggling.

“nature.”

“When will he be back?”

“Maybe we can see it after the list is released.”

Bingwen thought, if you can delay it for a while, you can delay it for a while.

“It’s just a change of residence, nothing else is required of me?”

“No.” Bingwen gritted his teeth.

“Then, let’s go with you.”

Xie Jiming simply packed a few clothes and followed Bingwen out.

On the way to Shuangsheng Inn, Bingwen asked Ji Ming curiously, “I wonder if the contents of this letter can be easily known below.”

As soon as the content of the letter was mentioned, Xie Jiming’s cheeks showed a flush of excitement. He was about to speak, but after thinking about it, he rolled his eyes and said, “You don’t understand when you say it.”

Sang Yi, who was behind him, burst out laughing, and hurriedly held back, lowered his head and followed behind him.

Bingwen was sullen, and he didn’t want to say a word to this Jie Jiming for a moment. He hurriedly walked to the room of the Double Saint Inn and said goodbye in a hurry.
