Chapter 137: Make Arrangements Early
In this matter, Xie Xiuwen had already been angry with the Liu family, and they went to inquire, and it was also the result that the Liu family paid money to buy Zhuangzi.
Xie Xiuran was stunned, he didn't expect that the Liu family would marry a Zhuangzi!
As for Grandpa Xie on the side, he was completely stunned, he originally thought that he could take this opportunity to collect some more money, and he could also put the old lady's score on a good display.
Who would have thought that it was a bad move!
"The Zhuangzi has a total of more than 80 acres, plus our own fields, and some favors, and the vacant share is really not much, so I thought about simply distributing the remaining tax-free fields to our relatives, so that I can do something for the clan, so that the clansmen can remember our family."
Grandpa Xie couldn't say anything when he said it.
Putting one's own clan first, that's right anyway.
As for other benefits, Grandpa Xie naturally thought of the Liu family's dowry shop and the Liu family's industry first, since he got the advantage of the Liu family, he couldn't give the Liu family no benefits at all.
In any case, at least their children and grandchildren don't have to serve in Yao service anymore.
When the old patriarch and village chief learned that Xie Xiuwen was willing to give a share of 200 acres of tax-free land, they were naturally extremely happy and praised him for his kindness.
Now Xie Xiuwen is already a man, this is also a serious career, if someone in the Xie family is an official in the court, Xie Xiuwen can now be a county governor of any party.
It's just a pity that the Xie clan has not had another official for many years.
Now that Xie Xiuwen has raised it, he has finally made the people of the Xie clan see hope again.
Xie Xiuwen was also too busy to return to his hometown this time, and he didn't expect to go to Uncle Xie's house, and went to the banquet in the county seat for three days in a row, so he could rest with peace of mind.
"Rong Lang, come with me."
Xie Xiaowolf, it should be Xie Ronglang now, he is now dressed neatly and neatly, and he has eaten well and lived well for a while, and he finally saw some meat on his face.
"Do you remember the two ancient poems I asked you to silent?"
"Back to the father, the son remembers."
Xie Xiuwen asked him to recite it first, and then asked him to write it silently.
Very good, the words are not very good, but there is no mistake.
"You practice calligraphy at home, I will go back to the academy in two days, and you have to help your father take care of your mother and sister at home."
"Yes, father, son, remember."
"Someone is bullying you these days?"
Xie Ronglang shook his head, and then said: "At first, some people did embarrass me when I walked in the village, but the fourth brother has been protecting me since he came back, and since then, no one dares to bully me anymore." ”
"That's good. You can study and write well at home, do some housework with Shiro when you have nothing to do, and also exercise your body. ”
"Yes, father."
The reason why Xie Xiuwen has delayed succeeding Xie Ronglang until now is that he is worried that he will have a bad reputation and affect his wife and daughter; On the other hand, I also wanted to observe him for a while longer, so as to make sure that his character was flawless, so that I could keep him under my knees.
Xie Xiuwen finally had some free time, so he simply took his family and went to the small Zhuangzi together.
"I have inquired clearly, there are a total of eight families living in this village, three of which have signed death deeds, and the rest have signed living deeds, and there are still a few years to expire, all of which fled two years ago."
Liu Ruolan listened very carefully, and when her husband wants to enter Beijing to take the exam next year, she will naturally take care of all these things at home.
"I'll take you to see it today, and by the way, I won't have to be bored at home."
The two children are okay, anyway, they can play unscrupulously in Xiejiazhuang, but Liu Ruolan is married to a wife, so it is not good to go out frequently, and now that she has become a lifting lady, she can no longer do it casually.
Xie Xiuwen got out of the carriage first, first held his daughter in his arms, and then helped his wife down with his own hands, and when he was about to help his son again, he saw that he jumped down directly.
Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows: "Be more stable in the future, don't jump out like this again." ”
Xie Ronglang's little hands were nervously intertwined: "Yes, father." ”
Liu Ruolan likes this son very much, and said angrily: "They are all children, and it is only right to be lively." ”
Xie Xiuwen smiled, didn't dwell on this issue anymore, and went to the front to call the door with the beans.
When the head of the village learned that the new master's family was coming, he naturally called everyone together, and then after welcoming the master's family into the main hall, they all knelt down and kowtowed.
"We also came to take a look today, so that we don't know the master when we see each other again in the future. Your name is Ge Er? ”
"Back to the master, little Ge Er, this is the villain's mother-in-law, and the latter are the villain's sons and daughters-in-law."
Xie Xiuwen shouted, and then carefully asked how the output of the Zhuangzi was, and what crops were planted in the farmland now.
Xie Rongzhao didn't have the heart to stay here all the time, so he dragged Xie Ronglang's little hand and slipped out.
Xie Xiuwen didn't see it, but Liu Ruolan smiled and asked Sister-in-law Wang to follow.
Xie Ronglang didn't dare to come out at first, but when he saw his father nodding at him from a distance, he followed his sister with confidence.
Ge Er has three sons, and one daughter is married.
Xie Xiuwen came over this time to see what the character of this family was, and whether he could afford the errand of the head of the village.
The previous main family was quite recommended by Ge Er's family, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, Xie Xiuwen felt honest and credible.
Eighty acres of land, except for the food and drink for these people, there is not much rest of the income.
Xie Xiuwen meant to break up these people, but it was just eighty acres of land, and it didn't take so many people.
"Is this your youngest son?"
"Back to the master, this is the three dogs, fourteen this year, you see that if you have to use it, let him come to you as an errand boy."
Xie Xiuwen glanced at it and felt that he was too young, and he was afraid that it was not safe enough to do things.
"Have your three sons ever studied?"
Ge Er hurriedly replied: "Back to the master, they all know some words, but they don't dare to say that they have read books." ”
Xie Xiuwen called several other servants who had signed the death contract to come over, and after seeing them one by one, he thought about bringing Fang Hu's family with them.
Liu Ruolan knew that he thought Ge Sangou was too young and worried that he would not be able to support things.
"How did the husband take a fancy to this Fang Hu?"
"Fang Hu looked like a practitioner, but he didn't know why he fell to the point of selling himself into slavery. And I see that his lady's words and deeds are quite regular, and I can rest assured that she will serve you in the future. ”
Liu Ruolan was surprised: "Isn't there a sister-in-law Wang by my side?" Need for more? ”
"Don't worry, I have other arrangements for this matter."
Since Xie Xiuwen intends to bring his family to Beijing, he already has the idea of entering the office, even if he doesn't succeed next year, he will try again in three years.
Besides, now that he has become acquainted with Zhao Shizi by coincidence, he will try it next year, at least he doesn't have to worry about someone making a trick behind his back.
