Why didn't Mrs. Chen let her do it?
Isn’t it because everyone in the Chen family is treated fairly? If other families don’t have that kind of silk and satin clothes, why should they have to make them for her children?
Why is your face so big?
Xie Ronglan was scolded by her natal brother. Although she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to contradict him forcefully.
She knew her current situation very well.
Her biological family is not close to her, and even her biological father is unwilling to pay attention to her. Now all she can count on is her biological brother.
"Erlang has no intention of taking the exam again because he feels that his talent is average. So what if he actually passes the Jinshi exam? Your own dowry has never been willing to supplement your husband's children, and he can't bear to see all the money he finally saved at home being lost to him. The money is spent, so he doesn’t take the exam anymore, what’s wrong with just being a teacher?”
Xie Ronglan wanted to explode when he mentioned this.
"How is this possible? He is a master of civil examination. Even if he doesn't take the exam, it's not difficult to become an official, right? My second uncle can let his uncle, who is a scholar, become a capital official. Why can't he help my second son? "
Xie Ronghui frowned, can this be the same?
Back then, my grandfather's family had helped his father.
My father took care of his brother-in-law and Xie Rongcheng all to repay his kindness.
What kind of kindness do you, Xie Ronglan, have to their family?
Why do you ask others to help you?
Besides, Chen Erlang's wish is to teach, why do they have to let people become officials?
Besides, Chen Erlang has also analyzed his own temperament very clearly. He is too honest. If he really became an official, he probably wouldn't even know how he would be tricked to death!
As a humble official with no background, are you afraid that others won't know that you are a good chess piece to use to top the pot?
Xie Ronghui did not tell Xie Ronglan these words, and even if he did, she would not understand them.
So Xie Ronghui said simply: "My brother-in-law is not qualified to be an official, and he is indeed qualified to be an official because of his family background. But the problem is that he is unwilling to leave Gaoyang County. Over the years, the Chen family and their clansmen have invested a lot in him. He Now even if you just teach, you can earn a hundred taels of silver a year, so do you need to force him?"
Xie Ronghui knew that after Chen Erlang won the election, he had more tax-free land under his name. In addition to his own family, he allocated some to the clan. He also spent money to purchase twenty acres of sacrificial land for the clan to offer sacrifices and provide emergency relief. Use.
This behavior is naturally no problem.
But Xie Ronglan always felt that promoting people was not enough, and wanted to make Chen Erlang a high official, so that she could feel proud and proud.
Why bother?
Who are you competing with?
If you just want to compare with these people in Gaoyang County, you are already living in the upper class, why bother yourself anymore?
Xie Ronghui also knew that this sister had always had big ideas, and it was impossible for him to convince her, so he simply stopped talking and just hoped that she could think clearly as soon as possible. She was married, a wife and a mother, and could no longer just Selfishly looking after myself.
Xie Ronghui brought gifts to his three nephews and nieces, and told them to study hard. Even girls should read more and become literate, because reading can make them wise.
Xie Ronlang didn't have anything to worry about here. His uncle's family had nothing to do with him anymore. He came back just to show off. His relatives were all in the capital.
Xie Ronlang left the Xie family a few days after he was adopted into Xie Xiuwen's name, so he was not familiar with the Xie family. However, Xie Rongche and Xie Rongye asked for leave after hearing the news, and the three brothers had something to say.
After all, the friendship they once had while studying together soon dispelled the feeling of alienation.
Xie Ronlang specially brought books to the two of them when he came back this time. Some were brought back by his father and divided into several parts. Some were sent to the Cheng family, some to the clan, and one was designated for them.
"You two also need to work harder. My dad said that although you are not as talented as me, you are better because you are willing to work hard. When you go back to your hometown for the exam, you can try it and maybe you will win. It doesn't matter if you don't win. Just try again. Anyway, now that our family is rich, we can afford your studies, but my father said that you can’t just focus on studying. You should also pay attention to the teachings of the juniors in the family, and be more considerate of your wives."
Xie Rongche rolled his eyes: "I know you are smart, so there is no need to step on our brothers to show off!"
Xie Rongye smiled and said: "Xiao Lang is indeed talented. The nineteen-year-old Tan Hua Lang really gives us a lot of face."
Xie Ronlang liked to hear this.
Being proud of his family means that his father and mother were right to adopt him.
"You have to go back in two days, right? I really can't bear to leave."
"Okay, you two study hard and don't just study. If you are good at learning, you can study abroad. My father said that if you are successful and don't want to take the exam again, he can help you arrange errands. If you are willing to take the exam Even better, he is waiting for you in the capital."
Xie Rongye sighed and said: "I don't have much hope. If I can win the imperial examination, I will be satisfied. Let's take a look at the next provincial examination. A Lang, if I really win the imperial examination, I can ask my second uncle to help me arrange the city. Is it an errand? Otherwise we can do it in Gaoyang County. Anyway, I don’t want to be too far away from home.”
Xie Ronlang glared at him: "You're worthless!"
Xie Rongye chuckled and said: "I'm hopeless. Shiro is far away in the capital, and we are the only ones with our parents. You are all promising. Archer and I are not talented enough, so I'm afraid we won't be able to pass the exam when we return to our hometown. Don’t blame us for holding back the Xie family.”
This goes a long way.
"Okay, I know what you're thinking. It's fine this way. You can live a more stable and leisurely life at home. You know my father. As long as our Xie family members are motivated, he is willing to do it. help."
"Well, we will definitely not let down our second uncle."
Grandpa Xie became more and more delighted with Xie Ronlang, his half-adopted grandson.
The young man was a prostitute, and his betrothal was the daughter of Guozi Jijiu. From then on, the Xie family became a veritable scholarly family. The Xie family was in Gaoyang County, no, it should be said that it was in Jinzhou. They were all famous families. .
Xiejiazhuang today is very different from that of more than ten years ago.
The village has been re-planned, and most of the clan houses have been rebuilt.
Houses with blue bricks and large tiles, which were rare back then, are now everywhere.
There are even several families who have built two-entry houses.
Some have moved to the county, but their old houses have been specially renovated. No matter what, they will still return here when they grow old.
"Grandpa, when we passed through Fucheng this time, we saw the young master mentioned in your letter. He looked handsome and elegant. It is clear that he is Mrs. Cheng's natal nephew. Xuanxuan will have a blessed life in the future."
