Who is this person?

You must be sick!

Wait, this idiot turned out to be Xie Xiu, the top scorer in the provincial examination not long ago, the one who dared to go against the will of the world and break off relations with his biological father?

Why did he buy that forest?

Do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it?

Even if we had taken back the Luo family's property from Xie Yun before, we couldn't have been so disastrous, right?

Although the Luo family had some money, all those shops and tea plantations were lost back then. Converted into cash, the amount that ended up in Xie Xiu's hands should be only over 100,000 taels.

He spent 100,000 taels to buy a forest. How much cash does he have left?

Even if it's just to please the adults, isn't it too much?

Xie Xiu's purchase of Chen's forest soon aroused heated discussion among many people.

Even Jiang Er, upon hearing the news, couldn't help but run to Xie's house and ask him, "Brother Keji, how did you buy that piece of forest?"

He looked at Xie Xiu with a very conflicted look, as if he was puzzled as to why the person in front of him had suddenly become the victim.

Xie Xiu was speechless when he looked at him.

But he smiled bitterly and said, "You also know the situation of my family. Although I took back the property of the Luo family, I was focused on the imperial examination and was not good at business.

Keeping that money in my hands would be a curse, not a blessing. Better to spend it than have it be remembered.

That piece of forest has not yet matured into timber, so many people look down on it. Isn't that just right for me?

Others look down on them, so they won't target me for them.

What's more, it is only with the grace of Your Majesty that I can continue to take the imperial examination without being implicated by my biological father.

Naturally, we should be grateful and do our utmost to help Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Jiang Er couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Since you are worried that someone is coveting the Luo family's property, why didn't you tell me? Let me help you? Don't you ever consider me a friend?"

Xie Xiu quickly said, "If I didn't consider you a friend, why would I tell you all this?

But I am a man after all, and much older than you. I can't take advantage of you for being a righteous person and ask you for help in everything.

I always have to solve the problem myself first, and when I am unable to do anything, I will ask you to help me."

Jiang Er found these words particularly pleasing to the ear, and proudly puffed out his chest, patted his chest and said, "You are right, I have always been a righteous person!

If a friend is in trouble, I will definitely help him if I can, and I will never refuse! "

After a pause, he continued, "But one hundred thousand taels is not a small amount. If you take out so much at once, what will you do in the future?

How about this, I... I'll pool some money together, and then find a few friends and ask them to pool some as well, and then... just consider it as buying it from you!

Since we are good brothers, we should share happiness and difficulties together. How can I let you suffer alone?"

Xie Xiu quickly refused, "That's not necessary. I bought that forest just to have peace of mind. How could I possibly embarrass you friends?"

No matter how Jiang Er tried to persuade him, Xie Xiu refused to agree, and he spoke in a very nice way, which made Jiang Er not only not feel angry, but also felt that Xie Xiu was thinking about him everywhere, and he was really a good brother!

If he wasn't afraid of getting beaten when he got back, he would have wanted to make Xie Xiu his brother and acknowledge him as his elder brother!

After leaving Xie's house, Jiang Er went straight into the palace and praised Xie Xiu in front of Concubine Jiang.

"Sister, this Xie Xiu is such a wonderful person! Not only does he speak well, but he's also very capable! He's so sincere! I told him I wanted to help him, but he refused to let me spend any money, as if he was afraid it would be difficult for me."

Concubine Jiang couldn't help but think of Xie Ying, so she smiled and said, "This man is indeed good. Not only is he a filial son, but he also behaves in a measured way. You can make friends with him."

She is a woman and has just adopted a son, so naturally she prefers children who are filial to their mother.

Moreover, Xie Xiu also passed the imperial examination. If Jiang Er could be influenced by him, then why would she need to worry about her younger brother?

Concubine Jiang felt that her brother was actually very smart, but he just didn't want to use his intelligence in the right way.
