With Mr. Xie's final decision, the adoption of the two brothers has become a certainty.
In fact, even if they are not adopted and study hard, it may not be a problem.
But scholars pay attention to reputation, and for a son to succeed in becoming a scholar, it can take as short as ten years, as long as twenty or even thirty years, and the financial resources invested during this period can be said to be huge.
It is precisely because of this that everyone attaches great importance to the future and cannot tolerate the slightest mistake.
Having an abandoned mother will always be a weak point for them to be criticized.
Xie Ronghui was adopted to the second bedroom, and Xie Rongye was adopted to the third bedroom. The adoption documents were written on the spot, but the date of adoption was changed.
The date written on the adoption document was today last month, and the date of changing the ancestral genealogy was also defaulted to today last month. In this way, the Gao family being abandoned today has nothing to do with the two brothers.
Xie Ronghui was adopted into the second room, and his emotions were quite complicated. Everyone could understand the embarrassment of his identity. Fortunately, the Xie family had not been separated, and Xie Xiuwen had to go to college to study, so the father and son could be considered peaceful.
Since it has been adopted, the residence needs to be redivided.
The small courtyard where the eldest son used to live was divided into two, and one part was set aside for the two brothers to live in. In order to avoid embarrassment, Xie Laosan also asked his eldest son Xie Rongche to move in with them.
After Gao's incident, Xie Xiuwen finally let out a bad breath, and then bid farewell to his father the next day and took his wife and children to Fucheng.
Douzi invited Xie Ronghui over: "The eldest son, wait a moment, the younger one will go in and report."
Xie Ronghui stood in the corridor, feeling quite nervous, and kept intertwining his hands together, as if it could relieve the worries in his heart.
"Master, please come in quickly."
When Xie Ronghui entered the room, his second uncle was about to blurt out something, but he suppressed it abruptly: "Son, please pay your respects to your father."
Xie Xiuwen raised his eyes to look at him. The eleven-year-old boy had a childish look on his face, and his thoughts could easily be seen through.
"No need, come and sit."
"Yes, father."
Xie Xiuwen put down the book in his hand, sat up straight and said: "My father is going to Fucheng to study, so you should study hard in private school. I will take your mother and younger brothers and sisters with me on this trip. Maybe in a few months, we will We are about to leave for the capital, and you are alone in Gaoyang. What difficulties do you have?"
Xie Ronghui shook his head repeatedly: "There is no difficulty. Grandpa and grandma are taking care of him at home, so my son will definitely study hard."
"You and Jing Zhou are also acquainted. If there is anything that cannot be solved, you can ask Jing Zhou for help."
"Yes, father."
Xie Xiuwen still has some expectations for this former eldest nephew. From the previous incidents, it is not difficult to see his character. This can be regarded as good bamboo shoots growing out of bad bamboos.
"After I settle down, I will write back. Remember to write an article every ten days. Send the letter to your uncle, and he will find a way to send it to me. If there is any correspondence in the future, I will mainly I will also have someone send it to your uncle."
"Yes, father."
Xie Ronghui knew that whether it was through an official post or a caravan delivering the letter, Liu County Cheng would be the most appropriate place.
"You heard clearly what I just said. I may be rushing to the capital soon, but I need you to keep this matter secret for the time being. I don't want your grandma and grandpa to know, and I will wait at least a month before letting them know. "
"Yes, my son knows how to do it."
Xie Xiuwen was still very satisfied with his attitude.
"These are the books I have read before during the Tong Sheng Examination. You can take them and read them slowly, or you can write down your own experiences alone. Although you are my son, you have to take the scientific examination in your place of origin, so at least you Only after you have gained a reputation as a scholar here can you leave Gaoyang County."
Xie Ronghui quickly saluted and said, "My son understands."
"That's good. Although you are adopted into my name, you are still the eldest grandson of the Xie family, and you are still the eldest brother in the mouth of Guabao and Xiaolang. This remains unchanged. You don't have to be under too much pressure. Study hard. , striving to honor our ancestors as soon as possible is the right thing to do.”
"Yes, father."
Xie Ronghui would not know that Xie Xiuwen's revelation that he was about to go to the capital was just a test for his eldest son.
Xie Ronghui only felt that he still had the trust of his father, otherwise, he would not tell himself such an important matter.
Xie Xiuwen took his wife and children to Fucheng. This time, Grandma Xie honestly did not make any more trouble.
If she hadn't made a scene last time, Xie Xiuwen wouldn't have kicked the eldest daughter-in-law out.
It's good now that her two favorite grandchildren are no longer the eldest son.
Although the Xie family's property was nothing to Xie Xiuwen's future, Grandma Xie still felt aggrieved.
If she hadn't been worried that Mrs. Gao would tell the nobleman's secret, Grandma Xie wouldn't have come forward to intercede for Mrs. Gao.
After Gao was divorced, he temporarily moved to an abandoned courtyard.
There are weeds everywhere in the yard, there is no place to stand at all, and the house is even more dilapidated. The old lady sent Mr. Xie over to help repair it, otherwise, this house will be uninhabitable.
Xie Laosan was not so kind, but he had to listen to the old lady's instructions, so he just fixed the roof and repaired the door. He was not willing to do the rest.
Mrs. Gao also knows that she is not welcomed by Xie's family now, but no matter how difficult it is, she can't go back to her parents' home now.
The relationship between her natal brother and her has long since disappeared, and both parents are gone. Who would be willing to raise another married woman?
What's more, a divorced woman will be criticized wherever she goes. In this case, she might as well just stay in Xiejiazhuang. They are all acquaintances anyway, and she doesn't have to worry about outsiders bullying her anymore.
Although Mr. Gao was divorced, he had hidden a lot of money before, so he naturally brought it out this time.
The first thing she did after arriving at this small courtyard was to hide the money she brought out.
There was nothing here, everything had to be purchased again, and of course she couldn't buy it blatantly.
Just in time, Grandma Xie came to see her, and Mrs. Gao had an idea.
"Auntie, you've seen what this place is like. I'm not too greedy. The least you can do is let me live here."
Grandma Xie frowned. The weeds in the yard were as tall as one person. When Lao San Xie came to repair the roof, he could barely clear a path.
"You can clean up this yard yourself. If there are any missing pots and pans, I will arrange for someone to bring them over. Don't worry about the rest."
"I knew that grandma was kind-hearted and still cared about me."
"Okay, just keep your mouth shut and don't let me hear any nonsense."
