By the time the Xie family arrived in the capital, it was already the end of September.
Although Wang does not understand some of the customs in the capital, she is good at reading people's eyes and being obedient, so she is mainly responsible for following up on some things Liu Ruolan has decided. In this way, Liu Ruolan will basically not come to Liu Ruolan for follow-up matters. Got the idea.
Baohuiyuan has now been renovated. According to the rules, part of the bride's dowry will be delivered three days before the wedding.
This mainly refers to some furniture.
For example, Babu bed, dressing table, imperial concubine couch, etc.
Liu Ruolan already knew what kind of furniture the Chen family had prepared, so when Xie Ronghui got married, he basically didn't need to add anything else to the yard.
The Chen family also loves this girl very much. They prepare everything from a big bed to a hand stove, an incense burner and so on.
Liu Ruolan lamented more than once that Brother Hui had married a good wife.
Xie Xiuran looked at the brand new and neat Baohui Courtyard, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Xie Ronghui is his eldest son!
Now that they are getting married, but he has to call someone daddy, will he feel comfortable?
But no matter how uncomfortable it was, he had to endure it.
Think about it, if the son had not been adopted, how would he have had the chance to study in the capital?
There is even less chance of getting acquainted with the daughter of a Beijing official!
Now that my son is promising, he is just waiting to be selected as a candidate for the exam when he returns to his hometown next time, and everything will be fine.
Look at this courtyard. It has a main room, a side room, and a living room. Even in his hometown, he couldn't live in such a nice courtyard.
Therefore, if you want to complain, just complain that you have no future and can't give your son anything.
Xie Ronghui's feelings towards his biological father are still somewhat complicated.
He knew what happened back then, and he also knew why his second uncle couldn't have his own biological son.
After all, they were all harmed by his own father!
Xie Ronghui sighed, now that he is enjoying all the benefits of a second wife, how can he turn around and honor his biological father?
Not suitable for etiquette!
And he himself couldn't be so heartless.
Therefore, when the father and son are alone together, Xie Ronghui is always silent.
Xie Xiuran looked around and saw no servants. He really wished his son could call him daddy.
But what a pity.
Xie Ronghui couldn't open his mouth.
He has called Xie Xiuran father for more than ten years, but also called Xie Xiuwen father for a few years. Now he can call Xie Xiuwen father and father without any burden, but he can no longer face his biological father calmly.
Whose fault is it?
"Brother Hui, now that you have a family, you will be someone to care about in the future. Treat your wife well. We have nothing to worry about if you fail the provincial examination this year. We will take the test again next time."
Xie Ronghui nodded: "Actually, my father and husband both said that I don't have much hope in this provincial examination, but they still thought that I could experience it in advance and gain some experience."
Xie Xiuran looked slightly embarrassed, but unfortunately the father he mentioned was not him.
"Well, if you work hard for two more years, you will get it."
Xie Xiuran actually didn't know what to say when facing this eldest son, so he could only say these words back and forth dryly.
The eldest son in my impression is completely different.
After Xie Ronghui came to the capital, he had grown taller again, and the elegant temperament of a scholar seemed to be stronger, and he seemed to have a bit of power. Xie Xiuran couldn't tell whether he had become more powerful.
"You should also take care of yourself. I heard that my eldest aunt is very virtuous. You should discuss it with her more often when you encounter problems. I heard that Sister Lan doesn't respect her very much. This is not allowed. You have to talk to her after you go back. When talking about Sister Lan, you must not be disrespectful of etiquette, let alone disrespect your elders."
Xie Xiuran nodded: "Yes, I know. I will tell her."
"Sister Rong is not young anymore. She needs to be more strictly controlled in the past few years, but Mo wants to learn from Sister Lan. Girls can get into trouble easily if they are too courageous."
Xie Xiuran was naturally a little moved when he heard that he still cared about his compatriots and sisters.
"Everything you said is right, I will let them change it. Sister Rong's temperament is much better now than when she was a child. I have to thank you for taking her to study in your hometown and teaching her the rules. Otherwise, Rong My sister is also very likely to grow crooked."
Xie Ronghui didn't say anything. How could he not grow crooked?
He almost killed Guobao at a young age. If he really ignored her, something big would happen.
"After I get married, you will go back to Gaoyang County. We can't teach our grandfather and grandmother in front of them. Please remember to apologize for us."
"Yes, I will."
After that, there was another long silence.
After a while, Xie Ronghui said: "I have eighty acres of land in my hometown, and my third uncle is currently taking care of it. But you have to understand that I did not earn these lands by myself. My father provided them for me in advance." An escape route has been arranged. Officialdom is dangerous, and my father will always take one step at a time and watch ten steps ahead."
Xie Xiuran was stunned for a while before he understood what he meant.
"Are you saying that the second brother might be dismissed from office?"
Xie Ronghui shook his head and said with a serious face: "Didn't my great-grandfather also be dismissed from office back then? I just said that my father was more thoughtful and wanted to handle everything more securely. If something really happened in the officialdom, he also hoped that we could have something. A way out.”
Xie Xiuran understood, so why did he buy eighty acres of land in his hometown?
"Those properties were my father's and mother's money. I didn't pay any money, so I really didn't have the shame to ask for them. But my father said that I was about to get married and couldn't be penniless, so I accepted it shamelessly. I will really make a difference in the future. , I will use my own money to support you, but it does not include these."
Xie Xiuran was stunned, his eyes already a little moist.
He understood.
Xie Ronghui was reminding him not to have the idea of a second wife.
What Xie Xiuwen gave him was the second-fang's property. It didn't belong to the entire Xie family, and it wasn't something that the eldest brother could care about.
"If I have the ability in the future, I will respect my elders, but for you, I can only say that I will try my best to have a clear conscience. I have enjoyed the benefits and conveniences provided by the second room, and I cannot ignore people in a blink of an eye."
Xie Xiuran wiped his eyes: "I understand, you don't have to be so straightforward. You are right, you two brothers have been blessed by the second brother, so you can get better and better. People can't forget their roots, but they can't lose it even more. Conscience. I understand everything you said."
Xie Ronghui felt uncomfortable seeing him like this.
Some words were unpleasant, but he had to say them.
He took a few turns to express his attitude, not to make the biological father feel too uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he can understand and understand his painstaking efforts, and that's enough.
"I have food and drink in my hometown, which is pretty good. As long as you two brothers are doing well, I'll be satisfied. How we wrote the adoption documents in the first place depends on what to do. We are not greedy for the second wife's property, and you can't call me anymore A word of father!"
