Although Grandpa Xie sounded a little confused, he probably guessed eight or nine.

He looked at this old wife who had been with him for most of his life, and he didn't know for a while whether to scold her or divorce her.

Grandpa Xie is still sensible in the end, "Let's all go out, the boss is guarding outside, and no one can get close." Second, you stay and make your words clear. ”

Xie Ronglan and some other grandchildren were not here, and Grandpa Xie actually just sent his son and daughter-in-law out.

After all, it's not a long-faced thing, and naturally the less people know about it, the better.

There were only three of them left in the room, father and son, and Grandpa Xie's face was extremely ugly.

"Say it yourself, what the hell is going on."

Grandma Xie knew that she had reached this point, and she couldn't hide it anymore, but she didn't dare to say that she was greedy for money first, so she simply followed the words of her two previous sons, and only said that Xie Xiuning's parents forced her several times, so she had to suppress her own son.

"Yes, Xie Liujin forced me, I really can't do it. Their son was taken to the capital, and I heard that there were four or five servants serving his son alone, and if I didn't agree to them, they would be cruel to the second son. ”

Once this lie is made, it will naturally slip away.

Grandma Xie also seems to have found an opportunity to clear her name, and she is getting more and more energetic.

"I'm just thinking about letting the second child suppress his talent, but if Xie Liujin makes a move, it will be our son's arms and legs, and even his life!"

Grandpa Xie believed these words for three or four points, but Xie Xiuwen didn't believe a word.

Not to mention whether Xie Liujin's family has such a great ability, just to say whether the Xie Ming family dares to do such a thing, it is a question.

Besides, although the Gaoyang Xie family has been completely separated from the Beijing Xie family, it does not mean that the Beijing Xie family dares to ignore the eyes and ears of all parties and attack the former clan.

The Xie family in the capital is also based on a scholarly family, if there are really rumors that they are ruthless to the people of the same clan, then Xie Huaiyi's loss will be great.

However, at the moment, the old lady's words can successfully pull Xie Xiuning's family into the water, and he just wants to see how the Xie family in the capital plans to deal with this matter.

Grandma Xie and Xie Xiuning did not have much correspondence, and there were only five or six letters before and after, and there were no words worthy of accountability, not even a single payment.

Therefore, Grandma Xie was not worried at all that her panicked words would be exposed.

Anyway, she is Xie Xiuwen's mother-in-law, and her words are naturally much more credible than Xie Liujin's words.

The next day, if you want to worship your ancestors, you will naturally open an ancestral hall.

There was no need for Xie Xiuwen to make any effort, Xie Liujin took the initiative to bring his children and grandchildren over.

Grandma Xie suppressed Xie Xiuwen, Xie Liujin vaguely knew something, but not much, his son mentioned it when he corresponded with him, so that he remembered to help him secretly, and he must not let Xie Xiuwen come out.

But who would have thought that Xie Xiuwen would win glory for his ancestors when he arrived, and now he has come back with a list.

That is the one who has shown his face in front of the saint, and as soon as he finishes the exam, he will be able to obtain the official position of the sixth grade, which is higher than the grade of the county master!

In front of the whole clan, Xie Xiuning threatened and lured Grandma Xie to suppress Xie Xiuwen, which naturally made everyone angry.

Especially the old patriarch.

If it weren't for this Xie Xiuning's suppression, there would have been a Jinshi master in their clan three years ago!

Of course Xie Liujin didn't want to admit it, but whether he admitted it or not, there were several letters as evidence, and Grandma Xie also directly named the names of the two little guys, and Xie Liujin lost his rules for a while.

Everyone knows that Xie Xiuwen has won the list, and now he is an official from the sixth grade, there is no need for Xie Xiuwen to do anything more, as long as he sits there and asks with a cold face, the housekeeper of Xie Liujin's family knelt down and honestly recruited them.

Although Xie Liujin didn't really suppress Xie Xiuwen, he sent silver to Grandma Xie a few times, and he also gave it after listening to Xie Xiuning's words.

Since Xie Xiuning was picked up by the capital, Xie Liujin had money in his hand, so he opened a shop in the county, bought a field, and jumped from a farmer to a rich man.

With the industry, Xie Liujin's family naturally no longer worries about money, so he sent nearly 100 taels of silver to Grandma Xie.

The old patriarch was extremely angry, so he proposed to follow the clan rules, in front of all the clansmen, to punish six catties of punishment and twenty rods, and then clean the ancestral hall for a year to atone for his sins.

As for the silver coins sent by Xie Xiuning and Xie Liujin before, since they have all been put out, and the victim is Xie Xiuwen himself, the old patriarch means to charge all these silver coins to him.

Xie Xiuwen shook his head and refused.

"Patriarch Uncle, village chief Uncle, I Xie Xiuwen can't get this silver. But it can't be cheaper either. According to the boy's opinion, it is better to directly join the clan, let a few clan elders make the decisions or buy some sacrificial fields, or support the outstanding sons and nephews of the clan to study and take scientific examinations, or help the clansmen who are having a hard time. ”

Xie Xiuwen's proposal won the heart of the old patriarch.

That's good!

It shows that Xie Xiuwen has come out, and he has not forgotten the relatives of these ordinary people in his hometown.

After Xie Xiuwen took a sip of tea, he said: "Brother Zhou'er's knowledge has improved a lot, if there is no accident, I will let him come back this winter for next year's county exam." ”

The village chief's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Xiuwen, what you said is true?" Can Brother Zhou really end? ”

Xie Xiuwen nodded: "Brother Zhou'er's knowledge was originally very solid, but he had no experience and less knowledge. He also benefited a lot from my previous time at the College. Let him try it next year, if he wins the show, Uncle still has to send him to the county official school for a few more years, study steadily, don't be anxious. ”

"Good, good! It's all up to you! ”

Xie Zhou is the grandson of the village chief's family, and now he is very happy when he hears that he is expected to show off his talents next year.

It's just that when he returned to his hometown this time, Xie Zhou didn't come back with him, Xie Xiuwen left him to study at home, and at the same time asked Wang Jin to give him more advice.

There is a Xie Zhou, and other people naturally have their minds.

It's not that it's not good to study in a private school, it's just that Xie Xiuwen was a talent at the age of sixteen after all, and he also had the reputation of a prodigy back then, and now he is on the list.

As soon as Xie Xiuwen saw everyone's eager eyes, he knew what they were thinking.

"When Xie Zhou comes back next year, when the clan can choose two or three children with solid homework and talent for reading, I will take them with me for two or three years."
