Xie Huaiyi knew that she was talking about the descendants of the side branches of the outer city.

However, Xie Huaiyi was somewhat hesitant.

Although the side branch is a little farther away, the business development of that branch is good, and the money is quite abundant.

The house in the inner city of the capital is not something that anyone can buy if they want to.

In addition to the ancestral houses of some families, there are also houses or gardens built by the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court, for example, some officials who are above the fourth grade, most of them live in the houses divided by the imperial court, and a very few are the houses rewarded by the emperor.

The house rewarded by the emperor, as long as there is no special explanation, can be passed down in the hands of future generations.

And if the official is demoted one day, or returns to his hometown, then the house must be returned to the imperial court and then used by the next official.

Of course, there are still some mansions that can indeed be bought and sold, but most of the owners who have inner city houses are not willing to buy and sell.

To put it bluntly, those who can live in the inner city are all families with faces, and if you hear about a house in the inner city that wants to sell it, no matter how big or small, in the eyes of others, this is the meaning of the middle of the road.

So, in general, it is somewhat difficult to buy and sell a house in the inner city.

The side branch that Mrs. Xie just mentioned is actually the one that has not yet come out of the five suits with Xie Huaiyi, but it is also about to come out of the five suits, and now the family is called Xie Ming, in terms of generation, it is the same generation as Xie Huaiyi, but Xie Ming is much older than Xie Huaiyi.

"Have you seen those little men from Xie Ming's family?"

"I've seen it, but I haven't spoken much, don't say it's knowledgeable, but I can't even see whether it's a rule."

Xie Huaiyi nodded, it seems that if he is free, it is appropriate to let Xie Ming, the clan brother, take a few children to the door.

"After a few days of snow, you can arrange another banquet in the clan, at that time, remember to leave a post to Xie Ming's family, and ask him to bring the younger generation of Langjun ladies over."

"Yes, ma'am."

Mrs. Xie's eyes flashed, and she still wants to bring some little ladies?

Could it be that the husband still wants to send the girl from the side branch into the palace?

If so, I don't know if I will share my daughter's favor.

Mrs. Xie had this doubt, so she naturally paid more attention to the little ladies of Xie Ming's branch.

Mrs. Xie is also from a family, and now she is in charge of the Xie family's inner house, not to mention the prestige of this body, but also many ears and eyes.

In no more than three days, Xie Ming's little ladies of the right age were all figured out, not only their age, appearance, etiquette, talent, but also their birth dates and who they were not in harmony with at home, etc., Mrs. Xie got their hands, which shows the cleverness of their means.

Xie Ming was naturally very happy when he received the post here.

Their family is also quite a dignified family in the outer city, after all, they live in a big mansion in Wujin, and their family is now considered to have a few capable scholars, how can they not be happy?

Xie Ming's eldest son is in the capital, and he has only one person who is famous, so now he is teaching in his own family school, the second son was sent to a foreign position, and now he is a five-grade official, and the third son has an errand in the Ministry of Industry.

Now there are him and his fourth son in the family to take care of the housework, and among the grandchildren, in addition to the grandson who has taken the serious examination, there is also a grandson who has passed to the name of the third son.

Xie Sanye and his wife were very enlightened, but unfortunately their sister-in-law died early when he was three years old, and later gave birth to two daughters in a row.

Xie Sanye was reluctant to take a concubine, so he simply thought about succession.

Xie Ming's branch and Gaoyang County Xie's branch are also close in blood, strictly speaking, Xie Ming's grandfather and Gaoyang County Grandpa Xie's grandfather are still cousins.

It may sound a bit winding, but for those who pay attention to the clan, this is also a relative, although it is far away.

When Xie Ming went to Gaoyang County to do errands, he simply brought a kid back, and he succeeded to his name, which can be regarded as his successor.

Third Master Xie's step-son is called Xie Chen, who is the same year as Xie Lin, the eldest son of Second Master Xie's family, but there is a slight difference in the month.

It was also a coincidence that Xie Lin was able to pass the examination step by step from the child test through his own efforts; And Xie Chen relied on his adoptive father's trust to spend money and got a place for a prisoner.

Although the number of prisoners is a bit watery, and the strength is not as good as those students who really pass the examination, at least they all have an equal opportunity to participate in the examination.

When Xie Chen learned that the main family was going to hold a banquet, he naturally thought of the spring festival in the coming year.

"Third brother, I don't know what you think of the banquet at the master's house?"

Xie Lin was at home for three years, so Xie Chen called him the third brother.

Xie Lin glanced at this cousin and shook his head slightly: "It's just an ordinary banquet a year ago, and there is nothing to consider." It's just that I heard that the grandfather and grandmother on the master's side pay great attention to rules and etiquette, so don't be rude when the time comes. ”

Xie Chen hurriedly bowed respectfully, although he was the eldest son of Sanfang, he knew very well that he was succeeded to his adoptive father's name after all, and this identity was far less valuable than Xie Lin and the others.

"Thank you, third brother, for mentioning it."

"Thank you, it's not the first time you've attended such a banquet, why do you have this question?"

Xie Chen pondered one or two: "Third brother, the main family has returned to the hometown to keep filial piety for three years, and this year is full of filial piety, I heard that the two cousins on the main side are going to participate in the Spring Festival next year, I am inevitably a little nervous, I am afraid that I am not knowledgeable, and I am afraid that I am afraid of my lack of knowledge, and I show my timidity in front of the two cousins." ”

Schelling chuckled: "You don't have to be so humble. Your knowledge is still okay, our Xie family is also a famous family, even if there are many branches now, it is also substantial. If you can get a word or two of guidance from the master's grandfather that day, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to use it in this life. ”

Xie Huaiyi was a serious scientific examiner back then, and I heard that he was praised by the emperor, so there was nothing wrong with Xie Lin's words.

Xie Chen said implicitly: "What the third brother said is that there are rumors outside, saying that the saint does not like the Xie family today, otherwise, it will not be the master who will not be reused to this day, and my heart is also a little unsure." ”

Xie Lin's face straightened, glanced at him, and then said, "The affairs of the court are not for you and me to discuss. Furthermore, the Holy One has his own considerations for employing people, and you and I can do our part well. ”

"Yes, the third brother has learned a lesson, and the younger brother should remember."

Xie Lin didn't want to say more to him, and Xie Chen also realized that it would be a little embarrassing for him to stay any longer, so he got up and said goodbye.

The little guy changed the hot tea again, and said dissatisfiedly: "This fourth prince doesn't know what idea he is playing, and he dares to say anything!" ”
