How did Xie Xiuwen know that the couple had gone to the palace for a banquet, and it was here that Cheng Jingzhou started abducting their precious daughter.
According to Xie Xiuwen's wishes, no matter what, he must keep his daughter until she is eighteen years old before marrying her off.
Liu Ruolan didn't want to keep her daughter for so long, but she still had to keep her for a while, so there was no rush.
Xie Rongzhao has only been thinking about Cheng Jingzhou her whole life. Now that she is old, she naturally thinks that marrying Cheng Jingzhou is her best destination.
"Brother Jingzhou, are we going to get married next year?"
Cheng Jingzhou looked at her innocent eyes and said with a smile: "It's best to get married next year. If it doesn't work, then it's okay to do it a year later. But what I want is that if I can get into the first class next year, let's take advantage of the holiday. After all, I have to go back to Gaoyang County to get married. If I am incompetent and can't get into the first class, I can get married later in the fall, which will give me more time to prepare."
The corner of Xie Rongzhao's mouth twitched slightly, so should she hope that brother Jingzhou would pass the first-A exam, or would it be better not to pass the first-A exam?
She wants to marry Jingzhou's brother, but she doesn't want to leave her parents. What should she do?
"Brother Jingzhou, if you enter high school next year, will your uncle and aunt also move to the capital?"
"Probably not. There are a lot of things going on in my hometown. Don't worry, there are others who are filial to my mother, and it doesn't have to be directed at you and me. However, if we can't fulfill our filial piety in front of you, we still have to find ways to make up for it."
Xie Rongzhao nodded. She naturally wanted to repay Mrs. Cheng's treatment of her.
"So, dear baby, let's make an agreement like this, okay?"
What's settled?
Xie Rongzhao blinked and said with a sly look on his face: "But in matters of marriage, it is still up to the parents to make the decision. How about I ask my father tomorrow?"
Cheng Jingzhou's face immediately turned dark.
With his father-in-law's doting on his daughter, could he not know what the outcome would be?
I still want to get married early, but I don’t want to even think about it anymore!
Cheng Jingzhou sighed: "That's all, I'd better concentrate on taking the exam first."
Xie Rongzhao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily: "Brother Jingzhou will definitely go to high school."
It's only two months until the test.
The incident of Cheng Jingzhou's high school graduation was quite impactful to the Xie family brothers.
Fortunately for Xie Ronghui, he is older after all, and he has known since he was a child that Cheng Jingzhou's talent in reading is very comparable to others.
But Xie Ronlang was a little unconvinced.
He is also a scholar at the age of fourteen, and is also known as a young genius. When he returns to his hometown to take the exam, he will also pass the exam. Sooner or later, he will overpower Cheng Jingzhou!
Of course, Xie Ronlang's life-long dream could not be realized even after spending his whole life.
In the court, he was always overwhelmed by Cheng Jingzhou.
But at home, Cheng Jingzhou always had to give him one step.
It's considered balanced.
On the third day of the first lunar month, good news came out from Chen Jiaojiao, and there was another good news.
This made Liu Ruolan overjoyed, and she quickly arranged for people to pay rewards, and at the same time asked everyone in the yard to be careful.
Xie Ronghui was about to go out after the Lantern Festival. Xie Xiuwen had already arranged everything for him. Compared with when Xie Xiuwen went out to study, he was much more impressive.
Xie Ronghui's study tour, not to mention the number of people accompanying him, only said that the expenses prepared for the trip were hundreds of taels of silver. Xie Xiuwen was not so generous back then.
Grandpa Xie is old, but he is still not confused.
Ever since Xie Ronghui got married, Grandpa Xie has sent people to the capital to deliver one hundred taels of silver every year.
He knew that Xie Xiuwen did not give Xie Ronghui away, so he handed the money to Xie Xiuwen.
Grandpa Xie knows that Xie Xiuwen is not short of money now, but whether his son is short of money is one thing, and whether he, as an elder, can provide it is another matter.
According to what was said back then, Xie Ronghui was not allowed to inherit any property under Xie Xiuwen's name.
Even a small house is not enough.
Xie Ronghui won the election this year. Grandpa Xie was so happy that he bought another farm for Xie Ronghui in his hometown. He also handed it over to Xie Laosan to take care of it, and told him to send his annual income to the capital.
Grandpa Xie has spent a lot of money in the past few years, but Xie Xiuran doesn't care. After all, the gift given to him is his own son, but if he can't control his step-brother, he will be careless.
She originally wanted to make a fuss, but there had been no movement in the eldest house, and she didn't have the nerve to make a fuss. At Xie Xiuran's age, she was no longer in a hurry to have a son.
Just let it happen.
Anyway, Xie's family's wealth cannot allow him to starve to death.
Someone will always take care of him.
I have to say that Xie Xiuran is sincere!
Xie Ronghui's family of three lives in Xie Mansion. Throughout the year, one hundred taels of silver is definitely not enough to spend.
Grandpa Xie just wanted to show his attitude and let the couple know that he had not forgotten what happened at the beginning, and he also hoped that Xie Xiuwen would not give up on Xie Ronghui prematurely.
In fact, the old man is also being petty.
If Xie Xiuwen really cared so much, he wouldn't have given guidance on Xie Ronghui's studies these years.
It's not that Xie Xiuwen is very generous, he just simply feels that since it is possible, if he can gain a reputation, the people who will benefit from it in the future will always be the Xie clan. Of course, for Yu Guabao, it will also be a source of support in the future.
In the past few years since Chen Jiaojiao got married, although she had spent some dowry, it had always been used to supplement her husband-in-law.
Xie Ronghui also has property in his name, and also has a monthly salary in the Xie Mansion. The main reason why Chen Jiaojiao subsidizes her is that she can't let her husband lose face outside, and always wants to make him eat well and wear good clothes. Moreover, Xie Ronghui is older, so he can't live outside. The entertainment is obviously much more than that of Xie Ronlang.
Xie Ronghui was embarrassed to ask for money from his mother, but Chen Jiaojiao couldn't see that he was short of money, so she would naturally help him.
Fortunately, after several years, Chen Jiaojiao did not subsidize much. She was still very happy that she could still have a lot of money left over from her own dowry properties throughout the year.
Now that Chen Jiaojiao is pregnant, Xie Ronghui is worried.
"Ms. sir, don't worry. Mother is always careful, and there are a lot of people at Baohuiyuan. You can just go on a study tour with peace of mind, as long as you don't forget that there are three of us mothers waiting for you at home."
The implication is, don't look for flowers and willows outside.
Xie Ronghui has always been very principled when it comes to female sex. He feels that only when his father and mother live like this all their lives can they truly support each other.
When the home is peaceful, the man can show off his talents outside.
If the back home is restless, he will be easily controlled outside.
"I will write letters home frequently and come back. If you have anything to do, you must ask your mother more often. Although you have given birth to Niuniu, you still can't be careless. If nothing happens, it's better not to go out."
Gu Shi came with a group of people behind him.
"Young Master, Madam, Madam ordered your slave to bring some things over. At the same time, she also asked some of your slaves to check to see if there is anything harmful to pregnant women, so that they can be collected together."
