Chapter 217: Jishan Hall
Liu Ruolan is indeed just a talented daughter, and compared with these noblewomen in the capital, her identity is indeed not enough.
But she married a good man and gave birth to a good daughter!
Xie Xiuwen and Xie Rongzhao are both very attractive to the eyes of nobles, and because of this, Liu Ruolan is very popular with several noble ladies, that is, the prince of Weihou Mansion, and she also sent people over to invite her to a banquet and enjoy the flowers from time to time.
Just for this, no one dares to underestimate Liu Ruolan.
But Xie Fang was not convinced.
She really felt that she was born noble, at least much more noble than that Xie Rongzhao.
But in reality?
Zhang sighed, pulled his daughter to sit down, and persuaded: "You don't always have to go against her again, strictly speaking, your status is lower." No matter how vulgar Xie Rongzhao's mother is, she has a good father. What about you? Your biological father passed away before he could gain fame, and now we are all living in the Xie family under the protection of your grandfather, how can you not see clearly? ”
Xie Fang cried very sadly.
She was reluctant to accept the fact that she was not willing to accept it, but she also knew that whether she accepted it or not, she would no longer be able to choose her origin.
She hated Xie Rongzhao's good luck, hated Zhao Ying for being willing to associate with a girl from the countryside, and even hated her biological father, why did she die early?
Xie Fang's temperament is selfish, but if she fails to get her wish, then everything is someone else's fault.
Zhang's even coaxed and frightened, and finally made Xie Fang bow her head and admit her mistake, but she knew that this matter would definitely not stop there, but she was afraid that her mother-in-law would have to ask about it.
Sure enough, when I went to ask for peace a few days later, my mother-in-law's face was not good, and she directly ordered Xie Fang's feet to be banned.
Xie Qing is the son of the Xie family, because he still has to study, so he was not implicated, but because of this incident, he also fell behind among the cousins of the Xie family.
Schelling didn't want to think too badly of the children, but when something happened, he couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.
He took his wife to Xie Xiuwen's house in person to apologize to Xie Rongzhao on behalf of his niece.
Xie Xiuwen didn't really want Xie Lin to lower his body, it mainly depends on their family's attitude.
The two left a few female dependents to go to the inner hall, and then went to the study to talk.
"I heard that Anhe Street is planning to send another concubine into the palace?"
When Schelling saw him mention this, he just shook his head helplessly.
He is not his own family, even if he is also a member of the Xie clan in the capital, but he is not a descendant after all, many things, the resources in the clan will not be inclined to their side, and even they will not have the right to ask.
"I heard my grandfather mention this matter, when they sent a concubine into the palace, I didn't expect that a few years later, they were not much favored, and naturally they could not seek greater benefits for the Xie family, I thought that my cousin would rest this thought, but I never expected that he would have the idea of sending another woman into the palace."
Xie Xiuwen believed him.
Besides, this is a matter of the main family's lineage, and it is normal for Xie Lin not to know about it.
"The Holy Lord is now in the prime of life, and he doesn't care much about women, so I don't know why this Lord Xie is so insistent on this matter?"
Xie Lin shook his head again, he was not the roundworm in Xie Mingyi's stomach, where did he know this.
"Brother Zicheng, we don't talk darkly, since a few years ago, I have been persuading my grandfather, don't obey the lineage in everything, although it is the same clan, but it has been separated by several generations, that is, I want to divide the clan, and I also make it."
In the final analysis, Xie Lin is also not used to some of Xie Mingyi's personal operations in recent years.
is obviously a scholarly family, and the literati started a family, why do they have to think about borrowing female dependents to make a fortune?
"You have been in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, there should be some actions in the Holy Lord this year, do you have a yamen you want to go to?"
Xie Lin was silent for a moment: "If I could, I would rather let it out." ”
Xie Xiuwen was a little surprised, who doesn't know that Jingguan is good?
This Schelling is a sword-loving person.
"Wang Jin was released the year before last, and now it is only a seventh-grade county order, if the virtuous brother is released, he will at least be a sixth-grade official."
"Hehe, let's talk about it. If there is no good place to go, I would rather stay in the Hanlin Academy, compile books, and copy history, which is also good. ”
The errand of the Hanlin Academy is easy, at least not as much as the sixth.
"Ling Zun is now the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and it is also considered meritorious to receive the envoys of Fanbang last year, and the saints remember it."
Schelling understood his hint that as long as his father didn't make a big mistake and waited another two years, he could still go further.
"Thank you, brother."
Xie Xiuwen didn't take a Xie Fang in his eyes, but it was because of the jealousy of the little girl in the house, since Xie Yu had realized the seriousness of the matter, he thought that he would teach him well in the future.
Besides, Xie Rongzhao didn't suffer from Xie Fang, she was protected by a few sons, and if others wanted to hurt her, it depended on whether their own weight was enough!
Xie Rongzhao didn't have so much leisure to focus on Xie Fang, and knew that she was grounded, so he didn't pay attention to it.
"Miss, everything is ready, should we go to Jishantang now, or do we have to wait a little longer?"
There are Jishan Halls on the east and west sides of the capital, and most of them are children.
In fact, the church is equivalent to a government office, and the main support is either some martyrs or some babies who have been abandoned here.
Xie Rongzhao and Zhao Ying made an appointment to go together to deliver things to Jishantang, and some gadgets that they don't usually use, old clothes of the maids, etc., can be taken to Jishantang.
Xie Rongzhao set off first, and then went to the Weixin Marquis Mansion to pick up Zhao Ying, and the two of them went straight to Jishan Hall with a group of servants to protect the courtyard.
Because the main orphans here are the main ones, most of the people who come here to take care of them are some female dependents, some of them are relegated to do rough work here after being convicted, and some are the relatives of some officials who do a small steward here.
It's not the first time Xie Rongzhao and Zhao Ying have come, and the gatekeepers all know them.
"Miss Zhao, Miss Xie is here, please come inside."
The guard at the door was an old man who was missing an arm, and it was said that he had also retired from the barracks.
Xie Rongzhao carried a food box, and Chen Xia and the others also picked it up and walked inside.
Every time Zhao Ying comes here, her heart will be shocked, and this time is naturally no exception.
"Sister Zhao, I have asked the grandmother here, boys will be sent out to find a job by themselves when they are ten years old, but girls can be raised until they are thirteen years old, and then if there is a suitable family, they will marry, and if there is no suitable family, they must think of making a living on their own. How do you think they can support themselves? ”
"I heard that someone from Anhe Street Xie Mansion came here to pick up girls, and I don't know how many they picked away."
Zhao Ying's eyes changed slightly: "Could it be that it is the maid ring that Xie Chunhua picked for preparing to enter the palace?" ”
