The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

The nights have been chilly for several autumns, and I don’t know where the snow and wind started.

Avoid the romantic affairs of literati, but sigh that farmers have no worries about farming.

When Xie Shuting returned to the back court, it was already 4:45 in the evening. After washing up, she asked Lian Xi to bring over the county annals of the past three years of Gu County.

Originally, this kind of document was confidential, but with Xie Tingwen's previous approval, the head of the Rites Office naturally did not dare to conceal it and hurriedly handed the booklet to Lian Xi.

After receiving the county annals, Xie Shuting sat alone in front of her dressing table and looked through the records in the book.

Lian Xi received the task and went to find out the names of the yamen runners who were previously at Yuelai Inn. However, all these things were too simple for Lian Xi.

It took him only a few hours to find out the details of those people. When he returned to the county government office, he happened to run into Cao Zhen who was leaving the government office.

Seeing Lian Xi's quick steps, Cao Zhen frowned and went up to her and said, "Miss Lian Xi! Is there something you're in such a hurry for?"

"Brother Cao!~"

Lian Xi suddenly came to her senses from her surprise, bowed and said, "Young lady has ordered me to go out and do something. Are you going to the government office?"

"Hey!~"

Cao Zhen sighed, fiddled with his clothes, and said with a wry smile, "How can I leave the government office so early? I'm afraid my duty tonight will last until the early hours of the morning."

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Cao."

Cao Zhen waved his hands helplessly after hearing this and said, "It's not hard work. If you take this job, you have to do your best."

When Cao Zhen said this, he looked at Lian Xi and said, "Miss Lian Xi! Is there anything you want me to do?"

"Brother Cao is indeed wise."

Lian Xi nodded in approval, then changed the subject: "I will report this matter to the young lady first. If the young lady has a plan, I will inform Brother Cao."

Cao Zhensui didn't understand the deep meaning of Lian Xi's words, so he could only support her and said, "Okay! If you need me, Miss Lian Xi, please don't be stingy."

"Of course. The young lady is still waiting, so I'll take my leave first." Lian Xi bowed while speaking and walked quickly to the back hall.

Cao Zhen looked at Lian Xi's back and always felt that there was something going on, and it must be a big deal, otherwise he would never have let Lian Xi show up.

But thinking of what Lian Xi had just said, he calmed down and called the yamen runners from the classroom to start his daily street patrol.

Lian Xi had just returned to the inner court and saw that the light in his young lady's room was still on, so he quickly walked over and knocked on the door gently, saying, "Young lady!~"

Xie Shuting stroked the hair beside her ears and said softly, "Come in."

Lian Xi pushed the door open and entered the room. After closing it, she took out the hot water bottle and said, "Miss! I have found out the origins of those people."

"Are they the gangsters who were originally imprisoned in the prison?" Xie Shuting chuckled.

"Miss, have you guessed it?"

"That group of people are the stink bugs in the pit. It's not surprising that it's them." While speaking, Xie Shuting took the hot water bottle handed to her by Lian Xi.

With the heat from the hot water bottle, the night's chill was instantly dispelled, and a hint of red suddenly appeared on her cheeks.

Lian Xi grumbled, raised her eyes and said, "Miss! I am a little confused. If you know that those people are bedbugs, why do you still use them?"

"Of course I'll kill a chicken to show my respect to my father and establish his authority." Xie Shuting stroked the hot water bottle and said with a sweet smile.

This smile seemed like a spring breeze, but Lian Xi felt a chill in his heart.

Because as long as the young lady shows this kind of look, it means that she is about to start plotting.

"You will return the county annals to Chief Wang later, and then inform Captain Cao to come to the main hall at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow. Also, inform Uncle Qin that I will have breakfast with my father tomorrow."

"Yes!~" Lian Xi leaned over and responded, then began to prepare various matters.

......

The next morning, with the morning glow casting a golden glow, in the main room of the back court, Lian Xi was dressing up Xie Shuting in front of the dressing table.

"Miss! The private school will open at 3 p.m. Mr. Dong and Miss Cao Yue have already received the notice. I wonder what you will wear today?"

Xie Shuting shook her head when she heard this, looked at the outfit in the bronze mirror, and said softly, "Wearing that purple Luoqun will make you look more dignified."

"Yes! I'll get it for you right away, young lady." Lian Xi responded happily and quickly took out the gorgeous purple dress from the closet.

Most of the people who can handle this color are older women, but Xie Shuting is an exception.

At the age of seventeen, she can still show the elegance that purple clothes should have.

"Miss! You haven't worn this dress for a long time. I'm afraid it will have to be redone in a month or so." Lian Xi tidied up Xie Shuting's clothes while speaking, and his joy was hard to hide in his words.

Facing Lian Xi's compliments, Xie Shuting couldn't help but smile and said, "You can say anything. What did your young lady say?"

"My lady is responsible for being beautiful, and I am responsible for praising you."

"You are the only one who is cunning." After saying this, Xie Shuting led Lian Xi away from the back court.

Little did he know! At this moment, in the living room of the front yamen, Xie Ningzhi was looking at the table full of dishes with a worried look on his face.

He raised his eyes and said with a hint of grievance: "Father! My younger sister suddenly wants to have dinner with us. She has no sense of time. It's almost 9 o'clock."

Xie Tingwen frowned, put down the book in his hand, and said angrily, "Your sister has no one to run around like this, and no one helps her with the burden. She just slept an hour late, and you can't wait?"

Lian Qiao couldn't help but smile when she heard that. She looked up and saw Xie Shuting walking slowly towards her through the window.

She immediately bowed and said, "Miss."

"Yeah!~"

Xie Shuting nodded, then bowed and said, "Father! Brother."

"Little sister, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, I would have starved to death." While speaking, Xie Ningzhi hurriedly moved the stool away for Xie Shuting.

Xie Tingwen was quite helpless when he saw the disappointing Xie Ningzhi. He then put down the book in his hand and said, "Since we are here, let's eat first and talk about things later."

"Yes!" Xie Shuting responded repeatedly.

The three of them were having their own breakfast. Compared to Xie Shuting's elegance and Xie Tingwen's solemnity, Xie Ningzhi seemed a little out of place.

It wasn't that his eating manners were too ugly, but his movements were too frivolous. The father and daughter were also quite helpless about Xie Ningzhi's performance.

The Xie family is considered a prominent family in Tianshui, and their ancestor was also an official who served as a minister.

His grandfather Xie Zhenghong was also a Langzhong of the Ministry of Personnel. If the government remembers this person in the future, they might re-employ him.

My uncle Xie Tingyun was the director of the Imperial College. Although his current official position is of low rank, he is a candidate for the position of chief academic officer of the Imperial College.

My father is currently a county magistrate, but with the protection of his family, his future achievements are unknown.

Both generations of my grandfather had served as officials in the court. The younger generations of the two families with the character "Wei" in their names all tacitly chose to keep a low profile. After all, being too conspicuous is not a good thing.
