Although Grandpa Xie sounded a little confused, he probably made a pretty good guess.
He looked at this old wife who had been with him for most of his life, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should scold her or divorce her.
After all, Mr. Xie is still sane, "You guys, please go out. The boss is guarding outside and no one can get close. Second brother, please stay and speak clearly."
Xie Ronglan and some other grandchildren were not here originally. Grandpa Xie actually just sent his son and daughter-in-law away.
After all, it's not a shameless thing, so naturally the fewer people know about it, the better.
There were only three of them, father and son, in the room, and Grandpa Xie looked extremely ugly.
"Tell yourself what's going on."
Xie A'nai knew that she had reached this point, and she couldn't hide it anymore, but she didn't dare to say that she was the first to be greedy for money. She simply followed what her two sons said before and just said that it was Xie Xiuning's parents who forced her to do so. Only then did he have to take action to suppress his biological son.
"Yes, it was Xie Liujin who forced me. I really had no choice. Their son was taken to the capital. I heard that there were four or five servants serving his son. If I didn't agree to them, they would have to deal with it. The second one will be cruel."
Once you start making up this lie, the rest will naturally flow smoothly.
Grandma Xie also seemed to have found an opportunity to clear her name and became more and more enthusiastic.
"I'm just trying to find a way to let my second son suppress his talents, but if Xie Liujin takes action, it will cost our son's arms, legs, and even his life!"
Mr. Xie believed three to four points of this, but Xie Xiuwen didn't believe a word of it.
Not to mention whether Xie Liujin's family has such great ability, but whether Xie Ming's family dares to do such a thing is a question.
Besides, although the Xie family in Gaoyang and the Xie family in Beijing have been completely divided into two Xie families, it does not mean that the Xie family in Beijing dares to attack their former kinsmen regardless of the ears and eyes of all parties.
After all, the Xie family in the capital was established as a scholarly family. If rumors really spread about being cruel to people of the same clan, then Xie Huaiyi would suffer great losses.
However, the old lady's words could successfully drag Xie Xiuning's family into trouble. He just wanted to see how the Xie family in the capital planned to deal with this matter.
Xie A'nai and Xie Xiuning didn't have much correspondence, only five or six letters in total, and there was nothing worth pursuing in them, not even a signature.
Therefore, Grandma Xie is not worried at all about her nonsense being exposed.
No matter what, she is Xie Xiuwen's biological mother, and her words are naturally much more credible than Xie Liujin's.
The next day, if you want to worship your ancestors, you will naturally open an ancestral hall.
No need for Xie Xiuwen to put in any effort, Xie Liujin took the initiative to bring his children and grandchildren over.
Xie Liujin vaguely knew about Grandma Xie's suppression of Xie Xiuwen, but not much. When his son corresponded with him, he mentioned it and asked him to remember to help secretly and never let Xie Xiuwen come forward.
But who would have thought that it was Xie Xiuwen who brought honor to his ancestors when the time came, and now he came back with the second place in the rankings.
He has shown his face in front of the Holy Master, and as soon as he passes the exam, he will be promoted to the sixth rank official position, which is higher than the rank of the county magistrate!
In front of the whole clan, Xie Xiuning threatened and induced Grandma Xie to suppress Xie Xiuwen, which naturally made everyone angry.
Especially the old patriarch.
If it weren't for Xie Xiuning's suppression, their clan might have had a Jinshi master three years ago!
Of course Xie Liujin didn't want to admit it, but regardless of whether he admitted it or not, there were several letters as evidence, and Xie A'nai also directly named the two boys, Xie Liujin was at a loss for a while.
Everyone knows that Xie Xiuwen won the second place in the rankings, and is now a sixth-grade official. There is no need for Xie Xiuwen to have any further thoughts. He only needs to sit there and ask with a cold face, Xie Liujin's family. The housekeeper knelt down and did it honestly.
Although Xie Liujin had never really suppressed Xie Xiuwen, he had sent money to Grandma Xie several times, and he did so after listening to Xie Xiuning's words.
After Xie Xiuning was taken away by the capital, Xie Liujin had money in his hands, so he opened a shop in the county and bought fields, and he suddenly became a wealthy man from a farmer.
With the property, Xie Liujin's family no longer had to worry about money, so they sent nearly one hundred taels of silver to Xie A'nai.
The old clan leader was so angry that he suggested that according to the clan rules, in front of all the clan members, he should be fined with a penalty of six pounds and twenty sticks, and he should clean the ancestral hall for another year to atone for his sins.
As for the money that Xie Xiuning and Xie Liujin had sent previously, since they were all on display, and the victim was Xie Xiuwen himself, the old patriarch meant to give him all the money.
Xie Xiuwen shook his head and refused.
"Grandpa, the clan leader, and uncle, the village chief, I, Xie Xiuwen, can't get this money. However, I can't give them any advantage. In my opinion, it's better to put it directly into the clan, and let a few clan elders make the decision or buy some." To offer sacrifices to the fields, or to support the outstanding nephews and nephews in the clan to study and take exams, or to help the clan members who are having a hard time."
Xie Xiuwen's proposal won the heart of the old patriarch.
This is great!
It shows that Xie Xiuwen has become successful and has not forgotten these ordinary relatives in his hometown.
After Xie Xiuwen took a sip of tea, he added: "Brother Zhou's knowledge has improved a lot. If nothing unexpected happens, I will let him back this winter to prepare for next year's county examination."
The village chief's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Xiuwen, are you telling the truth? Is Brother Zhou really going to die?"
Xie Xiuwen nodded: "Brother Zhou's knowledge was originally very solid, but he had no experience and had less knowledge. He also benefited a lot when I was in the academy. Let him give it a try next year. If he wins If he becomes a scholar, my uncle will still send him to the official school in the county to study for a few more years. He should study hard and don't be impatient."
"Okay, okay! I listen to you!"
Xie Zhou is the grandson of the village chief. Now that he heard that he is expected to become a scholar next year, he is naturally very happy.
However, Xie Zhou did not come back with him when he returned to his hometown this time. Xie Xiuwen left him to study at home and asked Wang Jin Dekong to give him some guidance.
With Xiezhou, other people will naturally be interested.
It's not that it's not good to go to a private school, but Xie Xiuwen was selected as a scholar at the age of sixteen. He was also known as a child prodigy back then, and now he is ranked second. If he can get some advice from him, he will definitely have a bright future. .
Xie Xiuwen knew what they were thinking when he saw everyone's eager eyes.
"When Xie Zhou comes back next year, the clan can choose two or three children who have solid homework and talent in reading. I will take them with me to guide them for two to three years."
