The handsome young man behind Liu Xueyi clearly showed reluctance, and when he made a sound, he turned around like an oriole, charming and charming.
"Cousin, this Xie Xiucai is handsome and talented as you said. If I can get his blessing, some of the previous rumors will disappear without a trace."
Liu Xueyi sighed, but he didn't expect his cousin to be sincere.
"But you also heard today that he has no intention of taking a concubine, and our previous guess was just to use money as an entry point, but now it seems that even this hole has been blocked. I advise you to stop thinking about it. I will look for someone else for you."
But the handsome young man was not willing. This Xie Xiucai was born handsome, but now he only has one wife and one daughter. What if she is married and has a son next year, so what if she is a concubine? Who dares to despise her?
When Liu Xueyi saw that she was silent, he just thought that she had figured it out, and thought that after returning home, he would ask his wife to find more suitable husbands.
Xie Xiuwen quietly looked at the seat where Liu Xueyi was sitting in the room. Naturally, he also thought of the fair-skinned boy. Then he thought of Liu Xueyi's previous words, and he began to make speculations in his heart.
He and Ruolan had been in love since childhood, so naturally he had no intention of taking a concubine.
So what if I have no children?
He has brothers, and the other two families also have children. Even if he does not have a son, it will not affect the inheritance of the Xie family, so why bother?
Xie Xiuwen didn't pay much attention to women's sexual matters, and he never liked having a restless house. If there were a few more women in the family, his life would be even more miserable.
Besides, Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao spent a long time shopping in the jade shop, but found nothing.
It's not that these jades are bad, it's mainly that Xie Rongzhao doesn't want them.
She knew what the Xie family was doing now, and she also knew that although Cheng Jingzhou was engaged to her, Mrs. Cheng actually looked down upon the Xie family.
Who allowed these few years to pass by and Xie Xiuwen was still just a poor scholar?
At this time, if she accepts more gifts from Cheng Jingzhou, she will lose her identity.
"Brother Jingzhou, I want to eat candied haws on a stick. Buy that one for me."
Cheng Jingzhou originally fell in love with a few jade ornaments, but Xie Rongzhao shook his head no, and he couldn't help it. Now he just spent a few copper coins to buy two bunches of candied haws, which made her happy.
"Brother Jingzhou, let's go back quickly. If uncle finds out that you haven't completed your homework, he will have to give you a lecture."
Cheng Jingzhou touched her head: "Listen to me, baby."
Xie Rongrong has been waiting for them to come back, thinking about finding opportunities to have more contact with Cheng Sanlang and let him see how good she is.
It's a pity that Cheng Jingzhou did send Xie Rongzhao back in person, but there was no one else in his eyes the whole time. He kept his eyes locked on Xie Rongzhao, fearing that Xiao Qingmei would be bullied again.
Until Cheng Jingzhou left, Xie Rongrong didn't even get a look from him, which can be said to be quite sad.
"Xie Rongzhao, show me what Sanlang bought you!"
Taking advantage of others by force is Xie Rongrong's usual style.
Xie Rongzhao ignored her. There was no one else here anyway, so who was she showing off to?
Seeing that she was silent, Xie Rongrong thought it was because she was reluctant to take out the things, and immediately became angry.
"You little bitch, didn't you hear what I just said? Where are the things?"
Xie Rongzhao looked at her with a cold face: "Who are you scolding?"
Xie Rongrong was stunned for a moment, mainly because Xie Rongzhao's eyes were too cold and too sharp, but how could a five-year-old girl have such eyes?
When Xie Rongrong came back to her senses, she realized that she had almost been fooled by a child like her, and she immediately said angrily: "Why are you scolding you! I told you to take out your things, how dare you disobey me?"
Xie Rongzhao snorted: "No."
Xie Rongzhao has calmed down now. In terms of force, she can't beat Xie Rongrong. After all, she is taller and fatter than her!
As for lip service, what would happen if she won?
If we really get into trouble with grandma, no matter what the truth is, it’s her fault for being careless, so why bother?
"Why not? Didn't Cheng Sanlang always say that he would buy jade for you?"
Xie Rongzhao's lips curled up: "He said he would buy it for me, so I had to buy it! He came to visit his doctor and already brought gifts. How could I let Brother Jingzhou spend more money? Even though I am young, I know not to be greedy. "
Xie Rongrong choked and couldn't say anything else.
Liu Ruolan came in carrying a basket: "Sister Rong is here too, what are you talking about?"
Xie Rongrong didn't show any signs of panic, nor did she show any respect for her elders. She snorted, raised her chin and went out.
He didn't even say hello, let alone say anything about saluting or not.
You must know that although the Xie family is in ruins, Mr. Xie has always been the most concerned about etiquette!
Xie Rongzhao could also guess what Grandpa was thinking: he just felt that as long as their etiquette was still there, they would be different from those mud-legged people. Moreover, their family now has a scholar who is from a scholarly family and knows etiquette.
As for Xie Rongrong's arrogant behavior, neither Liu Ruolan nor Xie Rongzhao paid much attention to it. After all, she has always been like this. What's the use of Liu Ruolan occupying the title of an elder?
"My dear, did she make things difficult for you just now?"
Xie Rongzhao shook his head: "Mom, I'm fine. Brother Jingzhou wanted to buy me a jade to suppress the evil spirit, but I didn't agree. There is a certain gap between us and the Cheng family. If we continue to be dissatisfied, I'm afraid it will annoy the Cheng family. "
Liu Ruolan nodded: "It's good that you know."
Xie Xiuwen felt a lot more relaxed because he had money in his hand. He simply found an excuse to go home and planned to take his wife and daughter to his in-laws. He would go to Fucheng in the future, and his in-laws would help take care of his wife and daughter. It also provides an extra layer of protection.
"Dad, I overheard the conversation between grandma and my uncle. They didn't let grandma take the meat back. They said they only put it in two bowls of beans."
Xie Xiuwen was already used to this.
"Well, our little boy is a lucky one. How about we go up to the mountain later and see if we can get some meat for your grandfather and grandmother?"
Xie Rongzhao's eyes lit up and he jumped and clapped his hands: "You can have this!"
The father and daughter agreed and took Liu Ruolan out together.
Liu Ruolan's natal home is not far away. It takes about two-quarters of an hour to walk. After many years of marriage, Liu Ruolan always walks back to her natal home.
"Mom, let's go hunting in the mountains first. I want to eat pheasant. The stew is so soft that grandpa and grandma will also like it."
Liu Ruolan looked at her innocent daughter and smiled bitterly in her heart. The three of them together were not as strong as Xie Laosan. How could they hunt?
"Forget it, your grandpa and grandma don't miss this bite of meat. Let's leave quickly."
Xie Xiuwen held her hand: "Let's go, let's listen to Guobao and try our luck."
