With Xie Xiuwen's personal promise, the tribesmen were naturally very happy.
And the good news is far more than that.
"These are books I copied from several study rooms in the capital. Some of them were copied by Xie Zhou and Rong Lang. They are just for the children of our Xie family. If possible, I might as well consider building a clan in the village. study."
When Xie Xiuwen left last time, he mentioned this matter to the clan, but it was kept on hold and failed to be completed.
Now that Xie Xiuwen is second in the list, it will be much easier for the Xie family to establish a family and recruit a husband.
Fortunately, I still have some money from Xie Liujin.
Grandma Xie was heartbroken when all the money she had saved for several years was gone.
But no matter how heartbroken she was, she knew at this moment that compared with her reputation, the money was nothing more than an external possession.
What's more, her own son won the Jinshi and became an official. He will have a long and good life in the future, so he doesn't need this little money.
Xie Xiuwen did not bring too much money when he came back this time. After all, his family now had no worries about food and clothing. He only needed to take care of his own family.
"Father, I have now entered the Imperial Academy, and my future salary and salary will be sent directly to me from the imperial court, but Brother Hui is still studying here."
Before Xie Xiuwen finished speaking, Mr. Xie directly raised his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about Brother Hui, he is studying hard here, and because of you, our family's land does not need to pay taxes, Ding tax The handymen are also exempted, and the third brother helps in the store. The monthly salary is quite a lot, so it is no problem to support them in their studies. "
Xie Xiuwen nodded, knowing that his father would say this.
After all, he is now the hope of the family. Even if his father is partial, he can still distinguish the importance.
"The father said this, and the son was even more frightened. I also discussed it with Ruolan before I came back. Every year, her farm will arrange for Ge Er to be sent to the house. There are not many people in the farm, so I am on this trip. We need to take a few more people to the capital to do work, and when the time comes, we can send people food or money."
Grandpa Xie smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits. It was different to have a promising son.
"As for the shop in the county, the income from that part cannot be touched for the time being. My son is also having a hard time in Beijing. Although he has errands, his monthly silver is limited, and the expenses are high everywhere in the capital, so he has to do some work to save his face. Therefore, I have to ask my father and mother for their understanding.”
Grandpa Xie also thought of the braised vegetable restaurant in the county. He had also heard about it. The income was very good, but no matter how good the income was, it was still the dowry of his daughter-in-law. It was not like their family could not survive, so how could they have the dignity to do so? Coveting your daughter-in-law’s dowry?
"That belongs to your wife, you can just discuss it."
"Yes, Ruolan also said that he will give twenty taels of silver to the public middle school every year, which will be used as money for Brother Hui to study."
When Grandpa Xie heard what he said, he felt even more sorry for his son.
Originally, it was Xie Xiuran's business to raise Brother Hui and Brother Ye, but because of the Gao family, father and son now don't look like father and son, and uncles and nephews don't look like uncles and nephews.
"Brother Hui, you don't have to worry too much about Brother Hui's affairs. I'm still here, so I will naturally arrange everything at home. You just have to do your errands in the capital. When the day comes, you can achieve the position of a fourth-grade official. I'm just waiting for you to pick us up and enjoy happiness."
These words can be regarded as the voice of Mr. Xie.
Xie Xiuwen also understood that his father was also remembering the past when he was driven out of the capital in despair, and he was thinking of returning to the capital with full glory, so that those who looked at him with envy at the time could still be beautiful. unlimited.
Xie Xiuwen just pretended to be ignorant of his father's thoughts.
Anyway, he didn't plan to bring the second elder to the capital to support him. Is it necessary?
Wouldn't it be nice to live peacefully in the country?
If he really comes to the capital, with the old lady's temper, he doesn't know how much trouble he will cause.
After returning to his hometown, Xie Xiuwen naturally wanted to accompany his wife and daughter on a trip to her parents' home.
Xie Ronlang and Xie Zhou were both left in the capital to study. Xie Rongzhao rested at home for two days after returning and finally recovered.
Liu Shen looked at this son-in-law and became more and more happy.
When he was able to promise his daughter to him, he valued his talent and character.
Now that he has achieved some success, it can be regarded as proof that he was right.
"Xiuwen, what do you think of Dalang?"
Liu Dalang is the eldest son of Liu County Cheng and the eldest grandson of Liu Shen. He has been studying hard over the years, but unfortunately, he has not made any progress yet.
Liu Dalang came off the field once, but missed.
Xie Xiuwen instantly understood what his father-in-law meant.
He thought that if he took Xie Zhou with him, and Liu Dalang with him, it wouldn't be much more than him.
"We plan to stay for half a month, and then we will return to Beijing. If Dalang has made an agreement with his husband, he can come with me."
Liu Shen immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay!"
Liu Dalang was also called over to kowtow to Xie Xiuwen.
The next day, their family got up again to visit the Cheng family.
Cheng Xuezheng's official rank is lower than Xie Xiuwen's, so it is natural to greet him first when meeting him.
As his friend and relative, Xie Xiuwen returned the gift and said, "Brother Cheng, why do you and I need to be so polite?"
Mrs. Cheng looked at Liu Ruolan, who was now smiling happily, and was also happy for her.
When Xie Xiuwen was struggling to study, Liu Ruolan's life was not easy either.
It also caused trouble for Guobao to be either sick or injured.
"Good sister, now you have finally come to the end of your hardships. You will have good days in the future. Now that you have Brother Lang under your knees, take care of your housework and just wait to enjoy happiness in the future."
Liu Ruolan smiled and said: "Thank you for your kind words, sister. To tell you the truth, I haven't been at ease in my heart. It feels like a dream."
Mrs. Cheng understands how she feels. She also felt this way when her husband won the election.
It was just that my husband had no intention of entering the officialdom and felt that his talent was limited, so he did not take the exam again.
Although his fame and fame are somewhat inferior, most people in Gaoyang County can't compare to this day.
"I see that Guabao and Sanlang must have a lot to say, so why don't we just let them play outside."
Mrs. Cheng had long noticed that her son's eyes had been glued to Xie Rongzhao. How could she not know that these childhood sweethearts had something to say?
Liu Ruolan also nodded and pushed Xie Rongzhao: "Go and have fun with Sanlang, but don't bully him."
Xie Rongzhao almost rolled her eyes. With her small arms and legs, could she bully Cheng Sanlang?
Cheng Jingzhou's thoughts were much simpler. He took her little hand and walked out, heading straight to the front yard.
"My dear, it's been half a year since you left. Do you miss me?"
Xie Rongzhao nodded obediently: "Yes, I thought so."
Cheng Jingzhou was satisfied, "I miss you too. Come on, I'll tell you about Cheng Yuanyuan."
