The young man responsible for taking Xie Ronghui to Beijing was none other than Zhu Weng's grandson Zhu Xiaoyun.
Although Zhu Xiaoyun is young, he is very capable. He has followed Erlang of the Song family everywhere in the past few years, and later practiced with Fang Hu. The young boy is very smart at first glance.
As soon as the carriage entered the city gate, Fang Hu was waiting with several servants.
"The villain Fang Hu has met the eldest young master."
Xie Ronghui knew this person. When he was selected as a scholar, Butler Fang was specially ordered to return to Gaoyang County.
"Uncle Fang, hurry up and excuse me. Thank you, Uncle Fang has been waiting here for a long time."
"Don't dare to take it seriously. The eldest son, please get in the car. The little one will lead the way."
"Thank you, Uncle Fang."
The young masters of the Xie family have been looking forward to it for a long time. If it were not for his status, Xie Rongzhao would also like to go to the gate to greet him in person.
Chen Xia ran over with her skirt in hand and gasped: "Miss, the eldest master's car has turned onto Anping Street, and the servants just saw Uncle Fang."
As a woman, Xie Rongzhao couldn't show her face at the door, so she sent Chen Xia to the front to hear the news.
"Okay, hurry up, go tell Aniang a message, I'll wait in the front yard."
Xie Ronghui got off the carriage anxiously. As soon as he stood firm and raised his head, he saw several familiar smiling faces.
"Brother!"
Xie Ronghui looked at the shortest boy in the middle and said, "But Brother Lang? He's actually so tall."
Xie Ronlang said with a proud look on his face: "Brother has good taste. It's not like they always push me. Brother, hurry up, let's go in quickly, mother and sister are waiting impatiently."
Xie Ronghui said, "Isn't it inappropriate for me to be a dusty person?"
Xie Rongche smiled and said: "No rush, go kowtow to the second uncle first, and then go back to your yard to freshen up. Everything has been arranged. The main reason is that the second uncle and Guabao are impatient. If you delay any longer, , afraid that they will be anxious."
Just as he was talking, he saw Xie Rongzhao coming out of the second door and walking towards them. Xie Rongche nodded from the air: "Look, I was right. The good boy really can't sit still."
Xie Kuan also echoed: "Earlier, I saw Chen Xia who was next to her coming to find out the news. She must have gained the trust, so she came out to see big brother in a hurry."
Xie Ronghui was at a loss when he saw the little girl who had grown to his chest.
Is such a delicate and lovely person really his sister?
After Xie Rongzhao saw the person opposite him clearly, he simply picked up his skirt and trotted, and then rushed directly into Xie Ronghui's arms without thinking.
"Brother, I miss you so much!"
Xie Ronghui's body froze, his hands were hanging in the air, and he didn't know where to put them for a moment.
It was Xie Ronglang who came over and tugged on Xie Rongzhao's sleeve and said, "Sister, let go quickly. Be careful, I'm going to scold you soon."
Xie Rongzhao is eleven years old. Even if it is her own brother, she still has to be cautious, not to mention that Xie Ronghui was originally just her cousin.
Xie Rongzhao pouted and relaxed, his eyes watery, showing that he was really excited.
"My dear, long time no see."
Xie Ronghui finally spoke out, then chuckled and touched the end of her hair.
Xie Rongzhao immediately held back his tears, burst into laughter, then took his arm and led them towards the inner courtyard.
"Come on, hurry up, my mother-in-law is impatient."
Liu Ruolan was also a little excited. After all, he was his nominal eldest son, and he had not seen him for four years, so his impression of this child became more and more complicated.
Xie Ronghui has grown taller now, not much shorter than Xie Xiuwen. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word.
After he kowtowed three times, Liu Ruolan said: "Get up quickly, as long as the etiquette is done, there is no need to torture your body."
She had heard the sound of Xie Ronghui kowtowing just now. There was a blanket on the ground, but she could still hear the thud of his head hitting the ground, which showed how sincere the child was kowtowing.
"It's good to come back. We can live together from now on, and you won't have to worry about your father always worrying about your studies. Everyone, sit down. Mother Gu has made snacks by herself, so we can try them together."
"Thank you, Second Auntie."
"Thank you, grandma."
"Thank you, aunt."
After Xie Ronghui rested for a while, Xie Ronghui took him to his Baohui Courtyard. Just hearing the name, Xie Ronghui felt a little excited.
There is also a small pond in the yard with a dozen carps and lotus flowers in it. A hand-curved verandah connects all the houses, making the yard even more noble.
"Brother, my father and mother said that you are about to get married, so you live here alone. You will get married here in the future. Have you thought about what kind of sister-in-law you want to find?"
Xie Ronlang is still a child at heart, and he thinks of things as they happen.
Xie Ronghui just smiled. This kind of thing was naturally the order of his parents and the matchmaker. He didn't dare to talk nonsense.
He stood on the porch, just in time to see the fish swimming in the pond, and then turned around to look around.
There are three main rooms here, and two wing rooms in the east and west, which means there are seven main rooms in total. It is definitely a very grand courtyard, which is in line with his status as the eldest son.
The east and west wing rooms and reverse seats are all available. Even if the bride comes in in the future, she will live in a spacious place.
"The eldest son is back. Just now Butler Fang came over specially to give instructions to the younger one. This is the person assigned to you in the yard. He said he is waiting for you to come over and give you a lecture. If there is anyone you don't like, you can send it directly to Butler Fang. , he will bring someone else for you to choose from."
Although Xie Ronghui is a young man, Liu Ruolan thought that he still had to study hard, so there were no beautiful maids arranged in the yard. There were only a ten-year-old girl and a nanny in her thirties to take care of him. of daily life.
In addition, he was assigned two servants in the courtyard to take charge of some cleaning errands in the courtyard. As for Sanshun, he still served as his servant. As for who he wanted to be in charge of the courtyard, everything was left up to him.
Xie Ronghui was quite satisfied with the yard, and he also heard Xie Ronlang say that he was envious of having such a big yard.
"Is Brother Lang's yard smaller than here?"
Xie Ronlang sighed: "It's not bad, but there is no pond. My mother-in-law said she was worried that I would run around when I was young, and it would be bad if I fell into the pond. And there are fewer rooms in my place than in my elder brother's place, but the third brother and the fourth brother Even though I’m living with you, it’s still manageable.”
Xie Ronghui nodded. It seemed that there was really nothing wrong with his yard.
When he finally sat on the chair in the main room, all his previous worries were gone.
His father and mother still value him very much.
In the evening, Xie Xiuwen returned home and set up two tables in the flower hall. They were all members of his own family. There were no separate seats for men and women, and there was no screen. They just put Xie Rongzhao and Liu Ruolan at the main table, which made it look more intimate.
"There is a banquet the day after tomorrow. Brother Hui, remember to pack up and go with me. If you are missing anything, just ask your mother."
