Xie Ronghui's success is indeed a great event worth celebrating.
Chen Jiaojiao was the happiest. From now on, she would be the queen of the nation, and she deserved to be called madam by outsiders.
The Chen family sent someone to send congratulations early, and it was Chen Jiaojiao's brother who came in person.
At the family dinner in the evening, Liu Ruolan mentioned that she wanted to hold a banquet for Xie Ronghui.
Xie Xiuwen felt that the banquet could be held, but it should not be too big.
"Just invite some of Brother Hui's teachers and friends to come. Try not to alarm my colleagues."
Xie Xiuwen is now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, a third-rank official. Once the news spreads that he is going to hold a banquet to celebrate his eldest son, who knows how many people will come to give gifts.
In order to save trouble, it is better not to make it too big.
Of course, Xie Xiuwen didn't want to attract too much attention. After all, in his current position, he could easily offend others. If he was targeted again, it would only make him feel more tired.
In the evening, everyone drank a little too much, and Xie Xiuwen didn't want to teach his son how to behave and do things in his excitement, so he called him to the study the next night to talk.
"Although you won the examination, your ranking is not obvious. How do you plan for next year's examination?"
"Returning to my father, my son wants to study hard for another three years and then give it a try next time."
Xie Xiuwen still agreed with his self-awareness.
"Have you written a letter home to your grandfather?"
"My mother urged me to write it yesterday."
Xie Xiuwen nodded: "Your knowledge is quite solid, but sometimes you don't know how to adapt. My father wants you to travel for a year, but I don't know if you are willing to let go of your wife and daughter?"
Xie Ronghui quickly handed over his hands and said: "My son will obey his father's arrangements in everything."
Xie Xiuwen saw that he was quite educated, so he added: "Although your background is not considered noble, you are not considered poor either. You have been in the capital for several years and have seen the superior life of the rich. My father also wants you to go to a remote place." Take a look and see that not all the people in our great rule live a happy and healthy life. Since you have the obsession to become an official, you should understand that you are an official to relieve the worries of the Holy One and to benefit the people of the world."
"Yes, the son should remember his father's teachings."
"Don't worry, even if you travel far away, my father will arrange everything for you. When you go out, your safety comes first."
"The son has made his father worry."
"You have to discuss this matter with your wife. In addition, my father also wants to tell you not to mess around or provoke unscrupulous people. Mrs. Chen is very good. As your wife, she has always done the best she can. Very good, don’t chill her heart.”
"Yes, my son has remembered it."
In the evening, Xie Xiuwen mentioned to Liu Ruolan that Xie Ronghui should go on a study tour, but unexpectedly it aroused strong opposition from Liu Ruolan.
"The couple are still young. How much time has passed now, and you asked him to go on a study tour. Why don't you think about your daughter-in-law?"
Xie Xiuwen's mouth twitched, did any father-in-law think about his daughter-in-law?
"Talk to Hun again!"
Liu Ruolan also realized that what she just said was wrong and explained: "As the eldest daughter-in-law of our family, Jiaojiao is impeccable for us, Guabao and Brother Lang. The couple is young and their relationship is perfect. How can you bear to let them separate?"
"It's not like we'll be separated for a long time. Besides, Brother Hui still has to take exams. It's better to take a long-term view."
"You, you, why can't you make sense! If you want Brother Hui to study well, then just let him go to Baihe Academy for a few more years. In this way, he can come back two or three times a month , if you go far away, when can you come back?"
Xie Xiuwen just felt that he didn't have the strength to argue with his wife anymore. There were some things that he couldn't explain clearly even if he was justified.
Seeing that he remained silent, Liu Ruolan felt more and more that this decision was outrageous.
"You have to tell Brother Hui tomorrow that we'll discuss the study tour later!"
Xie Xiuwen pinched his eyebrows helplessly: "Ruolan, this is a major event for him to study. Brother Hui's talent is average. Even if he studies hard for another ten or eight years, he may not be able to win the Jinshi. What he needs now is to learn from other To start with the place, you can't just focus on those books. Whether it's the canon or the side sect, he has already done a good job in cultivation, but becoming an official in the future will not just rely on being able to memorize a few articles."
Liu Ruolan also knew that she didn't understand this, but she still insisted: "Other people's children are studying and taking exams, and they are going to study abroad without even seeing them?"
"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. When I asked him to go to Feng County to practice with Brother Chen, didn't he gain a lot? There are some things that cannot be learned from books. His talent is average, so he can only Let him see, listen and explore for himself!"
Liu Ruolan stopped talking.
Both husband and wife fell silent at the same time, and it took a while before Liu Ruolan gave in and said, "Can we wait until the New Year before letting him go out?"
Xie Xiuwen looked at the expectant look on his face and could only nod his head: "Okay, let him go on the road after the Lantern Festival next year, and wait until winter comes back. It won't actually take a year."
Liu Ruolan was satisfied.
She thought simply. There were still a few months before the Chinese New Year. If Chen Jiaojiao could take this opportunity to get pregnant again, then Xie Ronghui could go on a study tour. However, she still had to arrange a few capable people around him, but We can't let him bring some shady women back.
The next day, Xie Ronghui and Chen Jiaojiao came over to say hello and discuss the banquet.
Liu Ruolan saw that Chen Jiaojiao didn't look good and her eyes were slightly swollen, so she thought it might be for a study tour.
"Brother Hui, I have discussed with your father. We will discuss your study tour after the Lantern Festival next year. In the past few months, you can study at home with peace of mind. If there is anything you cannot understand, you can ask your father for help. .”
Xie Ronghui was stunned. He thought he would set off in a few days. Why was it suddenly pushed to a few months?
Chen Jiaojiao was greatly surprised, but also a little happy.
As soon as Liu Ruolan saw it, she knew that this was about her heart.
"Yes, mother."
The next step is to discuss who to invite for the banquet.
The Chen family, who are both in-laws, must be invited.
Xie Xiuwen and Wang Jin were not only classmates, but also in the same department, and now they were colleagues. The two families had always been in contact, so they had to be invited.
Liu Ruolan originally didn't plan to invite Weixinhou Mansion and Dingguo Duke Mansion, but yesterday they sent congratulatory gifts, so it was really unreasonable not to invite them over for a drink.
So the original plan was to have three tables, but after some discussion, it was suddenly increased to five tables.
That's it, I still haven't invited Xie Xiuwen's colleagues, otherwise it may not be enough to add five more tables.
"Madam, Boss Song has sent someone to bring congratulatory gifts, and there are also things for the young lady. She is waiting in the front hall now."
