After the father and son had a deep talk, when they met again, they were obviously much more relaxed than before.
After going through so many things, and seeing his son live a good life with his own eyes, having a satisfactory marriage, and being able to study with peace of mind, Xie Xiuran really had nothing else to ask for.
As for what Brother Hui has now, he can't do it even with all his strength.
So, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
The Chen family is getting married, and Mrs. Chen herself has a sister-in-law, so there is no need for Mrs. Chen San to come and help.
But you don’t want to find someone, and they have to rush over to help. What can you do?
Does Mrs. Chen San really want to come and help?
Of course it's not.
She simply wanted to take this opportunity to make more friends with officials and wives.
She also has a son whom she has yet to marry, so she is naturally waiting for such a good opportunity.
Therefore, Mrs. Chen San would run to the Chen family in the inner city whenever she had free time these days, for fear that others would not know that she was related to Mr. Chen Bo.
However, no matter how frequently she ran, Mrs. Chen could still tell the difference between close and distant relatives, and other relatives or friends who came over would naturally know better.
Whenever Mrs. Chen had anything to do, she would go to her younger brother and sister-in-law, Mrs. Chen Er, to discuss it. Seeing that the wedding day was coming, the entire Chen family was in a state of joy, and they felt good just by looking at it.
Chen Jiaojiao has been staying in her yard these days. In addition to some cousins coming over to stay with her, some of her friends she made before will also come over to talk to her.
The day was approaching, and Chen Jiaojiao couldn't do anything.
Reading?
I can't calm down!
Be a female celebrity?
It would prick your hand if you weren't careful, so the nanny next to you took it away forcefully.
Taking care of flowers and plants?
Almost drowned in several pots.
So, now she basically just sits in the room, chatting with others when they come over, or else, she just sits on the beauty's back in a daze.
She is different from the other sisters. She not only met Xie Ronghui in person, but also spent some time with him.
At that time, we were in the county government office and even looked up the law for my father together.
Therefore, she always felt that she was lucky to have such a marriage.
How can an ordinary woman have this opportunity to have frequent contact with the person she likes?
Not only was she able to put forward her own ideas generously, she did not arouse Xie Ronghui's resentment, but even gained his approval.
Therefore, she was very sure that the man she was going to marry, even if he made no progress in terms of fame in the future, would definitely not be an ordinary person.
Chen Jiaojiao concentrated on preparing for the wedding. She embroidered the wedding dress bit by bit by herself. Not only that, she also prepared new clothes for everyone in the Xie family, which she would give to everyone after she came over and served tea.
Although Xie Xiuwen was the head of the family, his marriage was a private matter. He did not take leave too early and was always busy in the palace. Until Emperor Jingwen issued an edict to him, he was still discussing some trivial matters in the official department with Xu Youcheng.
Emperor Jingwen really liked Xie Xiuwen, a minister who would not be influenced by aristocratic families and would dare to offend any power. This was the kind of loyal minister he wanted.
"Xie Aiqing's eldest son is about to get married. Logically speaking, you should also take a leave of absence."
"Back to your Majesty, there are people in Wei Chen's family who are taking care of these affairs. In the past few days, my brothers have also come to the capital. With their help, Wei Chen can concentrate on his official duties."
Emperor Jingwen was very satisfied: "Having said that, you can't take it too seriously. In this way, I will take a vacation tomorrow. I will allow you to take five days off. This time you came back from Yunzhou and you haven't had a good rest. I don't want to Being scolded!”
Xie Xiuwen quickly thanked him. In addition, Emperor Jingwen also specially rewarded him with a pair of jade Ruyi.
"This jade Ruyi was given to Mrs. Xie. She is your wife, but to be so caring about your adopted eldest son shows that she is virtuous and kind. She is sensible and reasonable. You cannot treat her harshly."
"Yes, Wei Chen understands."
"I also heard that it was your daughter who noticed something was wrong with the purse in the first place, and then she found the thing?"
"It's true, Your Majesty. It's just that I was worried about my daughter's young age and didn't want her to be targeted by bad guys, so I erased the incident about my daughter from the memorial and asked Your Majesty to punish her."
Emperor Jingwen said with a look of disgust: "You! I am also a father, how could I not know that you are eager to protect your daughter? I heard that Marquis Zhao mentioned that your daughter has a life-saving grace for Marquis Zhao. I don't know either. Whatever the little girl likes, I asked people to prepare some, and you can take them back together when you leave the palace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xie Xiuwen understood that the Holy Emperor was deliberately covering it up for him. If he brought the edict and reward directly to Xie's house, the matter would not be hidden.
Now he was only allowed to be taken out of the palace quietly. Others only thought it was a reward for him, so how could they think of anything else?
When Xie Xiuwen returned home with a pair of jade ruyi and a large camphor wood box, the Baohui Courtyard was decorated with lights.
"This pair of jade ruyi was given to you by the Holy One for your hard work in organizing the marriage. In addition, everything in the box was given to Guobao."
Liu Ruolan's heart skipped a beat: "Husband?"
"Don't worry!" Xie Xiuwen understood what his wife was worried about and whispered: "The Holy One has no intention of exaggerating, so outsiders don't know that this is a reward for the good boy."
Liu Ruolan was indeed much more relaxed.
Xie Xiuwen called Xie Rongen and Xie Rongche over and told them to be careful and carry the box to Guobao.
"These are gifts from noble people. They must be given to the good boy by name. You two have made a hard trip."
"Yes, second uncle."
When the things were delivered, Xie Rongzhao was entertaining several ladies. He was not in a hurry to see them and just locked them in the small warehouse.
It wasn't until the next morning that I remembered to open it and see what good stuff it was.
Xie Rongzhao originally thought it was a gift from Zhao Yue or Cao Xin. After she saw what was inside clearly, she noticed the mark inside, and then realized that the thing came from the palace.
So, this was specially given to her by the nobles in the palace?
Xie Rongzhao didn't dare to touch these things. After putting them away, he went to ask his mother.
Liu Ruolan didn't hide it from her, she just said that the Holy Master praised her for her carefulness and intelligence, so she specially rewarded her.
"Then I know, but many of the things inside can only be kept in the warehouse as decorations. I just saw that those gold and silver melon seeds can be used."
Liu Ruolan laughed: "You girl, you dare to say anything!"
"That's right. The beautiful jewelry that the Holy Lord rewarded has the seal of the Shang Gongsi on it. Logically speaking, it is for the empress and princesses. If it comes to my hands, I don't dare to wear it."
"Then keep it, you can always use it later."
Xie Rongzhao rolled his eyes, thinking that Cheng Jingzhou could also join the officialdom in the future, and sooner or later she would be appointed like her father! (End of chapter)
