Xie Ronghui and his family finally arrived in Gaoyang County successfully one month later.
As soon as he arrived at the county seat, he was picked up by someone sent by the Song family. He was then invited to sit and drink tea with the Song family, and then someone was sent to escort him all the way to Xiejia Village.
Although he didn't need to give it away, the Song family was willing to make such an attitude.
Xie Ronghui also understands that now that his father is in a high and powerful position and everyone below him is willing to support him, he has no choice.
The magistrates of Gaoyang County also came, just to show their faces to Xie Ronghui, so that when he goes back in the future, he can also say something good about himself in front of Mr. Ge.
As soon as Xie Ronghui and his carriages entered the village, they attracted many children to watch.
Xie Ronghui held his son in his arms, helped his wife out of the carriage, and then ordered people to carry things into the house one by one.
Xie Ronghui came back last time when he was awarded Jinshi, but this time he was going to take office, so it was different.
Grandpa Xie told him a lot, such as not forgetting the Xie family's ancestors and remembering to support his younger brothers and sisters, etc.
In fact, Grandpa Xie is now old, his eyesight is dim, and his teeth are no longer good, but because of the meticulous care of his servants, he is still very strong.
As for the old lady, that's even better, she's white and plump, and the wrinkles on her face look less than before.
"Uncle, before I came back, my father said that you and aunt are now in charge of the house. He asked me to hand over these things to you, and then you will make the decision to distribute them."
"good."
Xie Ronghui also handed over a letter.
The main things Xie Xiuwen prepared were some silver coins and medicinal materials. There were elderly people at home, so he had to keep some necessary medicinal materials on hand, just in case.
Xie Xiuwen asked Xie Ronghui to bring back 10,000 taels of silver this time, of which 1,000 taels were cash silver, and the remaining 9,000 taels were all in silver notes of one thousand taels each.
Xie Xiuwen also stated in his letter how to deal with these 10,000 taels.
Among them, one hundred taels were used to repair the ancestral hall and ancestral tombs, and another five hundred taels were used to reward the younger generations in the clan who studied hard and effectively.
Xie Xiuwen asked him to write down three thousand taels to the official residence, and send another one thousand taels to the Liu family. He could keep the rest. After all, Xie Rongye and Xie Rongche were both raised in the third room, and the children were now married and had children. , the household expenses will only be higher.
Xie Laosan is not good at anything else, but he has been very good at being obedient for many years.
So he did everything as he was told. Of course, he also discussed with Wang the money that went into his private treasury and divided it into three parts. Even if Shiro was not with him, he would have to give him a share in the future.
The money was easy to divide. As for the medicinal materials, they were stored directly in the warehouse. In addition, there were some rare items purchased from the capital. Xie Laosan gave them to his wife and asked her to watch and distribute them to the children.
In the past few years, Xie Ronglan didn't dare to act like a monster anymore. Xie Rongrong and Xie Rongxuan were both married and living a good life. It was okay if they didn't let their parents worry about them.
In Xie Xiuwen's words, he doesn't expect any benefits from the marriage of his children, he just hopes that it won't hold him back.
After Xie Ronghui freshened up that day, he and his third uncle went to visit the clan leader and village chief.
The elders were naturally very happy when the future was revealed.
The elders were even more happy when they learned that Xie Ronghui was going to work in Ying County, which was not too far away from here. Maybe he could come back during the Chinese New Year.
Xie Ronghui didn't think so long term. Now in the second room, he is the one closest to the old house. If he is right in the future, he should come back more often.
Chen Jiaojiao is a member of an official family, so her dress is naturally different from that of ordinary civilian women. Moreover, she has grown up in a family of officials since she was a child, so her knowledge is naturally quite good.
The eldest stepmother, Mrs. Qi, looked at her and felt ashamed.
After all, when Liu Ruolan came back before, she could comfort herself by thinking that Liu Ruolan was also a peasant girl, but this niece-in-law was a proper official daughter.
Xie Ronghui was going to take up a post, so he couldn't stay in his hometown for a long time. After three days of rest, he was about to leave.
The old lady couldn't bear to leave him and cried uncontrollably while holding him.
I have to say that over the years, although the old lady has been partial, she has always been partial to her eldest son, and indeed she has always been the best to Xie Ronghui.
Therefore, even if the old lady did many wrong things, Xie Ronghui was not in a position to criticize her harshly.
He is a person with vested interests. He knows that the old lady has done something wrong, but he also knows that he has benefited. He cannot turn around and prepare for the elders to fight for his own interests.
Even if the method used by this elder is not very bright, he cannot do this.
Chen Jiaojiao also heard a lot of past events from her husband, and her senses about this old lady were quite complicated.
If we were to stand in the shoes of the parents-in-law, then this old lady would be extremely vicious and unbearable!
But thinking from the husband's perspective, it seems that we can't blame the old lady.
Therefore, Chen Jiaojiao has been more than respectful to the old lady these days, but not close enough.
In fact, she didn't know how to get along with this grandmother. After all, some things happened and couldn't be erased.
Xie Ronghui left with his wife, and the old lady cried so hard that she could hardly stand.
"This kid doesn't say anything, but he still blames me in his heart!"
Grandpa Xie didn't say anything, but just glanced at her coolly. You are self-aware!
Although those things were all done in the name of doing good for the eldest grandson, if it were really revealed, it would definitely be a stain on Xie Ronghui!
As a scholar and entering an officialdom, do you still want your reputation?
Because they were close, Xie Laosan simply set off to follow them to Ying County this time, intending to come back after settling them down.
Xie Laosan is not acting alone now. He has dozens of nursing staff and strong men under his command, and there is a big crowd.
With Xie Laosan joining in, the journey became more lively, and at least there was someone to talk to.
Ying County is a Shang County. It has a larger population than Gaoyang County and is more prosperous. When you first enter the county, you can see that the people here live a relatively prosperous life.
After Xie Laosan sent the people there, he was worried that his nephew would be a new arrival and would not have anyone available, so he left two nursing homes for him, and he could also run errands by the way.
Butler Fang arranged for six people to stay, all of them were strong men with skills, while the rest returned to the capital.
Xie Ronghui calculated this and found that he already had eight more strong laborers on hand before he officially got to know the officials here.
Basically, Chen Jiaojiao takes care of maids. In fact, there are only eight nanny, wet nurse and maid.
They had already thought about it when they came. They were short of manpower, so they just bought slaves in Ying County. There was no need to bring them all the way.
Xie Ronghui entered the backyard, a little helpless: "I'm still blind. I have so many people to eat under my hands. I will have to trouble my wife to take care of it in the future."
