Long house?
Feel proud?
Xie Xiuran felt that his life was like a joke!
In the past, relying on his parents' favoritism, he often targeted the second child and even drugged the second child. What was the result?
It is true that the second child and his wife cannot have a son, but he, the instigator, has no son either.
Xie Ronglan is now a child and a wife, but her character has not changed much. She is still selfish and profit-oriented.
Fortunately, the Xie family would not let her run wild, and her husband was indeed somewhat capable and could suppress her, so things had calmed down a bit in the past few years.
Xie Ronghui's success in the examination is indeed a great event worthy of celebration for the Xie family.
Especially Grandpa Xie, he felt that it was the right decision to let his grandchildren go to the capital with the second son.
Now that Shiro has found his own path, and is now a deputy lieutenant from the seventh rank, his future should be good.
Xie Rongye and Xie Rongche have both passed the scholar examination now, but their talents in reading are average. According to Xie Xiuwen's letter, if they wait a few years and pass the examination, they will be considered to have reached the top.
The most talented person is Xie Ronlang.
This boy who obviously does not have Xie Xiuwen's blood is somewhat similar to him in reading. I don't know how many people praise and envy him as a young scholar at the age of fourteen!
Grandpa Xie thinks this is already very good.
The Xie family has truly changed since Xie Xiuwen became an official. Mr. Xie felt that he would be underground in the future, and he would have an explanation for his ancestors.
Xie Ronghui's household registration has been moved to the capital, so his passing the election is not considered a political achievement in Gaoyang County, but he still has to give a congratulatory gift. Who makes Xie Xiuwen the head of the official department now?
As for anyone who is an official outside, who wouldn’t want to curry favor with the Minister of Civil Service?
Of course, the county magistrate is quite busy this year. He not only has to attend the banquet at Jie Yuanlang's house, but also the banquet at Xie's family, which is really fun.
Xie Ronghui's success in winning the election was of no avail to him, but Cheng Jingzhou was from Gaoyang County!
After a few years, another Jie Yuanlang appeared in Gaoyang County. This was a major event that could cause a sensation in the whole city.
The officials below didn't know, but Xie Xiuwen knew that Cheng Jingzhou's article was presented to the emperor.
Emperor Jingwen had long been interested in Cheng Jingzhou.
When he was still studying in the capital, Emperor Jingwen heard someone say that this son was extremely talented. If his grandmother had not passed away three years ago, he would have already entered the Imperial Academy.
After Emperor Jingwen read his article, he had to admit that Xie Xiuwen was still very discerning.
And it can be seen that Cheng Jingzhou was influenced by Xu Yuanqing and Xie Xiuwen in many aspects.
If this son becomes an official in the future, he will definitely be a great help to him.
Emperor Jingwen was very happy. Since he came to the throne, he has been implementing the New Deal. Today's old-school ministers are basically suppressed by him. The implementation of today's decrees is getting smoother and smoother. However, there are still many places that need reform.
Emperor Jingwen did not dare to relax. He had finally created the current situation and only hoped to create a more glorious era.
At the end of October, Cheng Jingzhou finally arrived in the capital smoothly.
After not seeing him for three years, Xie Rongzhao's eyes turned red when he first saw him.
"Brother Jingzhou!"
Cheng Jingzhou is taller than three years ago. There is not much change in his facial features, but he looks more steady.
"Good boy."
Liu Ruolan knew that the two of them had been in love since childhood, so she thought there was nothing to be prepared for, so she asked them to talk in a pavilion not far away. The girls were waiting outside and could see what was going on in the pavilion, but they Can't hear them.
"Brother Jingzhou, you've worked hard all the way, and I haven't even congratulated you on your high school graduation! Brother Jingzhou is really amazing!"
Cheng Jingzhou smiled, his little sweetie remained the same as before.
"I heard that you are now a little rich woman. Brother Lang said that you are now the richest master in the family. It seems that when we get married in the future, I will have to rely on Guobao to support me."
Xie Rongzhao's face was slightly red, but he didn't act too shy: "Brother Jingzhou, I heard that my aunt is not in good health. How is she doing now?"
"It's no longer a problem, thanks to the medicinal materials you sent me. In fact, it's just a minor problem, not that serious. My mother also blamed me for not mentioning it to you in the letter, but instead making you worry."
"Brother Jingzhou, I heard from my mother that our wedding will be arranged next year. Do you want to marry me?"
Cheng Jingzhou's heart moved slightly: "Of course I do! I have always dreamed of marrying the little darling. Does the darling want to marry me?"
Xie Rongzhao lowered his head this time and fiddled with the handkerchief with his fingers. After a while, he said, "If I marry you, will you bully me?"
"Of course not. I will love you just like my uncle loves his aunt."
Xie Rongzhao then raised his head: "But I heard people say that because we grew up together, this relationship is different from the relationship between men and women. I have never asked you before, does Brother Jingzhou treat me as his sister?"
Cheng Jingzhou looked surprised, wondering who had instilled such an idea in her.
"How is it possible? Why would I want to marry my sister as my wife? I've known since I was a child that you will be my wife in the future, so how can I treat you as my sister?"
Xie Rongzhao tilted his head, it seemed to make sense!
That night, Xie Xiuwen was so happy that he accidentally drank too much.
Cheng Jingzhou also drank a lot, and when he finally went back, he was helped back by Ping An and Master Wu.
Xie Rongzhao muttered with dissatisfaction: "I know that brother Jingzhou can't drink, but I still have to drink it. Why are you so bad?"
Xie Ronlang grinned: "Sister, you can't abandon us now that you have a brother-in-law! Besides, my father is drinking with him today. Why didn't you blame him when he was here just now?"
Xie Rongzhao pretended to hit him, but Xie Ronlang smiled and hid: "Sister, we didn't drink much with him. I guess he must be pretending."
Xie Rongen also said angrily: "Yes! This guy is so mean-spirited since we were little. I guess he is just pretending. We are all fine, so why is he the only one who is drunk?"
Xie Rongzhao said angrily: "Dad also drank too much, didn't you see?"
Xie Ronghui said calmly: "My father drank too much because he was happy, and there was a court meeting tomorrow, so my mother excused him because he drank too much and helped him back to rest."
The implication is that although my father drank a lot, he was not drunk.
And my father has something to do.
And what about Cheng Jingzhou?
He had just arrived in the capital, and he had nothing serious to do tomorrow.
How dare you pretend to be drunk!
It’s time to fight!
"This man is too dishonest, my dear, I don't think we can just marry him casually. We have to look at it again."
Xie Rongen had never dealt with Cheng Jingzhou since he was a child. He always felt that this kid was just here to steal his sister from him.
Xie Ronlang also echoed: "Fourth brother is right, we have to interrogate him carefully tomorrow to see if he has caused any trouble in the past few years."
