When Xie Ying heard that a caravan was delivering a letter to Xie Xiu, she immediately ran to find Xie Xiu.

When she arrived, Xie Zheng was reading a letter.

Xie Ying looked eagerly at the letter in Xie Xiu's hand: "Dad, who's the letter from? What does it say?"

Xie Xiu looked at her big, bright eyes and felt helpless.

Xie Ying is good in every way except for her habit of liking to watch the fun, which she can't change.

He looked at the letter in his hand again and said sarcastically, "It's a letter from the border. Xie Yun and Xie You are having a hard time over there, and the two elders of the Xie family have passed away one after another. They heard that I became the governor of Gusu and you were also conferred the title of princess, so they wrote to me specifically, hoping that I could help them."

When Xie Ying heard this, she couldn't help but laugh: "They really dare to think so."

Xie Xiu also felt that those two people were indeed very shameless.

Even at this time, she still had the nerve to ask him for help.

Xie Ying's eyes rolled, and she asked curiously, "Then Daddy is going to help them?"

Seeing her smiling like a little fox, Xie Xiu couldn't help but ask, "Then Yingying, do you think I should help them?"

Xie Ying smiled and said, "Although Daddy has severed ties with them, they wrote to Daddy asking for help. If Daddy ignores them and lets them freeze to death at the border, it will inevitably be bad news if the news gets out.

Since Daddy is an official, he cannot bear such a stigma, otherwise he will be easily attacked by political enemies and criticized by the world."

Xie Xiu thought so too, but after hearing how coherent she was, he couldn't help but tease her: "So you mean I should help them?"

Xie Ying pretended to be profound and waved her hands: "As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Since Dad wants to help them, he can't just give them money or ask someone to look after them. He should find them a way to make a living.

Xie Yun has been a Hanlin scholar for many years. He must be well-read and knowledgeable. Dad might as well send someone to give him some money so that they can write books and earn royalties.

It's just that the distance is a bit far, making travel inconvenient, and after they write the book, we have to find someone to carefully check and finalize the manuscript, so we need to charge some hard work fees."

Xie Ying touched her chin as she spoke, pretending to think for a moment before saying, "Let's take 90% of their royalties as hard work fees, and send someone to deliver the remaining 10%."

Xie Xiu was speechless for a moment: "..."

What did this girl do before?

Even more cruel than him!

He took 90% of the royalties and only gave 10% to Xie Yun and Xie You.

He had never seen such a cruel person!

Still a little baby!

However, thinking of Xie Yun and Xie You who were suffering far away at the border, Xie Xiu suddenly felt that Xie Ying's idea was not bad.

He and Xie Yun have a deep blood feud, and he is unwilling to spend money to support the other party.

But if he really let those two people freeze to death, his reputation would indeed be tarnished.

And Sakura.

Now that she has been crowned a princess and received many rewards, she doesn't know how many people are envious and jealous of her, just waiting to find fault with them.

If you really are stingy, it will be too ugly if it gets out.

So Xie Xiu said, "That's fine. I'll have someone buy some winter supplies and send them over."

When Xie Ying heard this, she immediately smiled meaningfully: "Daddy is so smart!"

As expected of her father, he is so cunning!

The distance from Gusu to the border is far.

It would obviously be much more convenient to just send someone over there with the silver at full speed.

But if that were the case, who would know that they had sent anything to the border?

When giving gifts, of course you have to make a big fuss and let everyone know about it.

As the saying goes, if wealth does not return to its hometown, it is like walking in brocade at night.

The same goes for gift-giving.

Xie Xiu noticed Xie Ying's eyes and couldn't help but laugh: His daughter is indeed a smart little girl.

The two foxes, one big and one small, smiled at each other, which made Tu Jiaojiao, who came hurriedly, feel creepy.

She walked over quickly and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Xie Ying smiled without saying anything, and even winked at Xie Xiu, asking him to explain quickly.

Xie Xiu had no choice but to write to Xie Yun and Xie You to ask for help, and told them what he and Xie Ying were planning.

When Tu Jiaojiao heard that the father and son wrote a letter asking for help, she felt disgusted and didn't want to spend a penny.

But after hearing what happened next, she...she felt a little sympathetic towards the father and son.

Not only do they let them write books and earn royalties, but they also take 90% of the royalties as hard work fees, cough cough cough.

Her daughter must have been corrupted by Xie Xiu!

Tu Jiaojiao quickly carried Xie Ying away, fearing that if she stayed any longer, she would completely turn into a sesame dumpling.

Xie Ying did not struggle, but instead thought about the affairs of the academy.

She has come up with a lot of new ideas recently, but unfortunately Situ Yuan has returned to the capital and is not in Gusu, so she can't discuss them with him.

I can only wait for Situ Yuan to come back and then talk to him.

I just don't know when he plans to come back.

Beijing.

Situ Yuan was also thinking about Xie Ying.

Although the eldest princess and her husband were very kind to him, unfortunately he had no way of revealing many of the things he knew to them, let alone discussing things with them.

Yang Tao actually liked to find him and ask him about things in Gusu.

It's a pity that the other party is too young and likes to ask all kinds of questions, which is really annoying.

Situ Yuan was really annoyed by being asked these questions recently, so he thought of Xie Ying and planned to ask her to help him come up with a solution.

Xie Ying has so many clever ideas, it must not be difficult for her to control a curious kid like Yang Tao.

It's just that he has been doing some experiments recently and can't leave for the time being, so he can't rush to Gusu to find Xie Ying immediately.

Situ Yuan thought about it and decided to let Peregrine Falcon deliver the letter to Xie Ying.

Anyway, this peregrine falcon is very familiar to Xie Ying and has been to Gusu before, so it shouldn't be difficult to get there this time.

The letter arrived in Xie Ying's hands the next day.

When Xie Ying saw Situ Yuan's complaints in the letter, she was speechless.

Such a simple matter, but I still have to ask her to solve it.

Isn't it just dealing with a curious child?

What's so hard about this?

Yang Tao often asked Situ Yuan questions, which meant that the teacher gave him too few assignments.

Wouldn’t it be okay if Situ Yuan just gave him more homework?

Xie Ying decisively went to find Xie Tang and gave him the letter from Situ Yuan.

Then he deliberately asked him: "Brother, what do you think we should do?"

After reading the letter, Xie Tang thought carefully and said, "How about... it seems that the young prince is very curious about the situation in Gusu. How about I write a little more and have someone send it to the young prince?"

Xie Ying felt a little disgusted. Her brother seemed to be a bit slow-witted.

“What are you going to write?” she asked.

Xie Tang frowned in confusion: "I have already written about the previous poetry competition and the Taiping Car, and I don't think I have anything to write recently.

I even had someone make a miniature version of Gusu City, and His Highness clearly received it and even sent a gift in return."

After saying this, he scratched his hair in embarrassment, not knowing what to write for a moment.
