Cheng Jingzhou has said so, can Liu Ruolan still agree?
Xie Rongrong was still thinking about getting closer, but Grandma Xie grabbed her.
Although Grandma Xie prefers the eldest son, she also knows that the Cheng family cannot be offended. Even if Cheng Sanlang is only eight years old, they have to support him.
Cheng Jingzhou carried Xie Rongzhao out of the gate of Xie's house, and the two of them entered the carriage one after the other.
"My dear, what kind of jade ornaments do you want?"
Xie Rongzhao shook his head: "No, I want to save money for daddy to take the exam."
Cheng Jingzhou was stunned for a moment, then thought of his uncle's situation in the Xie family, and he probably understood it well.
It's just that it's really hard for him to interfere in this kind of thing.
He is a junior and is related by in-laws. There are certain things that he cannot do. Once he does it, it is tantamount to crossing the line, and his future with Guobao may be gone.
"My dear, tell me how much money you have saved?"
Xie Rongzhao didn't hide it from him, but what he said wasn't too clear.
"Baby, you are so lucky. You dug up medicinal materials and sold them. Today, you also encountered a fox that was stoned to death."
Cheng Jingzhou nodded and didn't ask in detail what medicinal materials he was selling. He just knew that his uncle now had plenty of money.
"My dear, you are so capable!"
Even though Xie Rongzhao is no longer a simple five-year-old boy, he still feels a little carried away when he hears Cheng Jingzhou's praise.
The excitement when he first met Cheng Jingzhou faded away. At this time, Xie Rongzhao just wanted to find a way for him to avoid those disasters, and then study hard to gain fame and honor the Cheng family.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Xie Rongzhao had been sent to the Fang family in his previous life. In the following years, he met Cheng Jingzhou only a handful of times, and in the end, he was implicated by him and lost his life!
"Good baby? Good baby?"
Xie Rongzhao came back to his senses: "Huh?"
Cheng Jingzhou touched her forehead to make sure it wasn't hot, and then continued: "What were you thinking about just now?"
"Brother Jingzhou, it costs a lot of money for dad to study and take exams. I want to make money for dad."
Cheng Jingzhou smiled: "How old are you!"
Xie Rongzhao pursed his lips: "Brother Jingzhou looks down on me! Humph, I won't pay attention to you!"
Cheng Jingzhou suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, I was wrong! So what does the good boy want to do to make money?"
Xie Rongzhao, who was pretending to be angry just now, was suddenly discouraged.
Yes, she is just a little kid now, what can she do?
Moreover, the Xie family has not been divided. Even if they really make money from business, they will still have to be handed over to the public. In the end, the money that can be spent on Dad will not be much.
This made Xie Rongzhao dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.
Reputation is so important to scholars!
Especially for people like Xie Xiuwen who will take the scientific examination and become an official in the future, there is no room for flaws.
Therefore, don’t think about splitting up the family.
It's simply impossible.
Even if grandpa and grandma smashed dad’s head, dad must not bring up the matter of family separation, otherwise, this will be a handle!
Xie Rongzhao sighed, it’s too difficult!
Cheng Jingzhou sat aside, seemingly looking in front of him, but actually observing Xie Rongzhao with his peripheral vision. He felt that Guabao seemed to have a lot of expressions today. Sometimes he was worried, sometimes angry, and sometimes helpless. It was really changeable!
"Brother Jingzhou, do you think there is any way to spend the money you earn on my father and mother?"
Cheng Jingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
No matter how smart he is, he is only an eight-year-old child, and he has never experienced such a thing, so naturally he has no valuable suggestions to provide reference.
Xie Rongzhao turned to look at him and saw his serious expression. He realized that what he just said might be too treasonous, and quickly made up for it: "I'm not selfish, I just want my dad to study hard. If I have a lot of money, then it will be the same." I’m willing to spend it on grandpa, grandma and the others.”
Cheng Jingzhou laughed and said, "Well, I know that Guobao is the most kind-hearted person. I was just thinking about your problem, but I don't know what to do. Why don't I ask my father after I get back?"
Xie Rongzhao hurriedly tugged on his sleeve: "No, no! I always say that family scandals should not be made public!"
Cheng Jingzhou was stunned and then realized that the Xie family was at odds. Wasn't this a family scandal?
"Well, I won't ask, let's figure it out together."
Xie Rongzhao nodded with satisfaction. Her main purpose was to increase her income. At this stage, she could not cause any more trouble to her father.
The two of them went to the town to choose things, and Xie Xiuwen also welcomed a guest.
Xie Xiuwen poured the tea himself: "Brother Liu, please."
When Xie Xiuwen said this, he noticed that the boy brought by Liu Xueyi was a bit unfamiliar, and his skin color was too fair, and he didn't look like someone running errands outside.
Liu Xueyi was not polite to him either. After chatting for a few words, the two got down to business.
"I heard that my dear brother will go to Fucheng to study in the near future. Is this true?"
There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, but Xie Xiuwen was still surprised that he could get the news so quickly.
"This is indeed the intention, but it is still being prepared. Where did Brother Liu get the news?"
Liu Xueyi didn't look embarrassed, and he was obviously not spying secretly.
"To be honest, dear brother, my wife has some connections with the old lady of this private school. I accidentally learned that you were resigning, and then I guessed that you might want to continue your studies."
Xie Xiuwen looked calm and nodded: "That's it!"
"Zicheng is a talented person. He was only a teenager when he was selected as a scholar. Now that he has returned to his old school, I believe he will be able to go to high school next year."
"Thank you Brother Liu for your kind words."
After Liu Xueyi made two more detours, the topic turned to this expense.
Going to Fucheng to study, the monthly expenses are not small!
In terms of repairs, paper and ink, meals, and other necessary entertainment, etc., after a month, I am afraid that it will be too much to bear without five taels of silver.
Xie Xiuwen guessed his purpose when he heard him mention Shu Xiu.
"Thank you, Brother Liu. My wife has helped me raise some money, and my parents also support me in continuing my studies. Therefore, I have enough money for my education."
In this case, it was hard for Liu Xueyi to say what he said next, and he just glanced behind him in a more subtle way.
He originally thought this was an opportunity, but why did his cousin still care about her?
But the problem is that the only thing my cousin can rely on is money!
Xie Xiuwen's family background was average, not very wealthy in terms of money, and he was not favored at home, so Liu Xueyi thought of giving it another try.
Unexpectedly, before the words came out, they were blocked.
"That's great! You and I have been classmates for several years. If you have any difficulties, you must tell me. Don't wrong yourself, and don't try to be heretical with me."
"Thank you very much, Brother Liu. If you have any difficulties, I will come and bother you."
When Liu Xueyi came out, he said helplessly: "Have you heard everything? Since Xie Xiuwen has no intention of taking a concubine, forget it. I will help you find other families."
