Xie Rongzhao thought for a while and replied: "The fourth brother also learns to write articles, but it is different from what the eldest brother writes, and the fourth brother mainly learns the art of war." I don't understand this, but I just heard Daddy say that the gentleman who taught the fourth brother used to be a general, and now he only has an idle position, and it seems to be General Yunlu. ”

Grandpa Xie was stunned for a while, and muttered, "General Yunlu? That's the position of the third product, and it's not an idle job that can be invited by an idler! ”

It can be seen that Xie Xiuwen really put a lot of effort into it.

Xie Laosan and Wang on the side were naturally even more excited when they heard this.

Xie Rongen has been unable to sit still since he was a child, and he was born to love dancing knives and guns, and now he is led by Xie Xiuwen to invite a serious gentleman to teach, so he will take the path of a military general in the future?

The ancestors of the Xie family have been in the past few generations, and there has never been a general!

The general said that he would let the fourth brother read all the books he should read, and if he could pass his exam, he would be officially accepted as a disciple. Now I just have to be free, so I follow my side to learn some boxing and kick kung fu. ”

After Xie Rongzhao finished speaking, he also looked at his mother: "Auntie, am I right?" ”

Liu Ruolan smiled: "Yes, that's exactly what I said." Shiro's fist and foot skills are good, but if he really follows the path of a military general, he can't just play with swords in the future, he must also know the art of war, and it is serious to know how to arrange troops. ”

Grandpa Xie patted his thigh and said okay again and again.

He did not follow his son to the capital to enjoy happiness, but his son taught several grandchildren very well, and each of them had a path to follow in the future, which was better than he originally expected.

Grandpa Xie originally thought that among the grandchildren, Xie Rongen was the most unproductive, after all, he couldn't study, that is, he was brute force, and it was okay to follow Brother Hui to help take care of the chores in the future, which was better than farming at home.

Unexpectedly, Xiuwen could still think of such a method.

Grandpa Xie was full of emotion, and couldn't help but think more about this son's well.

Grandma Xie on the side was silent, she knew best what kind of changes had taken place in her own food, clothing, housing and transportation in the past few years.

In the past, she always blamed this second son, thinking that he had caused her body to suffer a great sin, and that she had to give birth to such a sin in that environment, and she always felt that this son was born to restrain her.

But now that I am old, I think back to the past.

Where is the second son Ke himself, it is clear that he is deliberately targeting this son.

Fortunately, his son was angry, and he was still admitted to the Jinshi and became an official in the court, which can be regarded as adding glory to the lintel of the Xie family.

Now he is promoted all the way, and he can also bring his children and grandchildren with him, which really supports the lintel.

Not only their own family, but also the children of Uncle Xie's family, as well as the village chief's family, the old patriarch's family, etc., but if he has some qualifications, he can also help and bring it.

Now, don't say that it is the entire Xie clan, that is, the entire Gaoyang County, how many people dare to say that Xie Xiuwen is not good?

Even his classmates back then were also touched by his favor, so how could the books of the Hanlin Academy in the capital be accessible to ordinary people?

But Xie Xiuwen was able to make it up, and he deliberately sent it to his hometown, which is what he really remembered in his heart.

At this time, listening to their mother and daughter talking about the words and deeds of the juniors in the capital, Grandma Xie only felt that she had lived for decades in front of her, and that was a joke!

At the beginning, she only thought that Xie Chen was such a rich person, and she accepted his money, but she just suppressed the limelight of her second son, and she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

Now that I think about it, it was a big mistake!

So far, Xie Xiuwen doesn't seem to want to look at her mother anymore, who can blame her?

Grandma Xie sighed, it's okay, now I don't have to worry about food and clothing, which is good.

After a greeting gift, Xie Rongzhao found that there was one Xie Ronglan missing.

Only then did I remember that Xie Ronglan had already married last year, and I heard that she was married to a scholar in the county.

"Sister Lan should come back tomorrow, and I'll see her when the time comes, her husband is a talented man, and now she is studying hard, I believe that in a few years, she will definitely be able to pass the exam."

This was said by Grandpa Xie, and the candidate for this grandson-in-law was also decided by him.

Originally, Xie Ronglan fell in love with another rich family, only that family was in business, although he lived a wealthy life, but in the end he was a little lowly in terms of identity, so Grandpa Xie disagreed, and directly decided on this family.

Xie Ronglan herself can't endure hardship, she only thinks about living a good life, as for the affairs of her children and grandchildren in the future, it will be many years later, so she doesn't think about it.

But no matter how much she has an idea, her arms can't twist her thighs.

Besides, she had made a mistake before.

Now that the Xie family is still willing to take care of her, she should burn high incense.

Xie Ronglan's husband's family name is Chen, and his ancestor Shangyuan has some thin property, but he has only provided for two generations of scholars, and the family is gradually declining.

Now Mr. Chen has stopped thinking about scientific research, but he has become a landlord steadily, Mr. Chen has read books for more than 20 years, and he is only a child, knowing that his scientific research is hopeless, he began to vigorously cultivate his son.

Fortunately, his son won the show, and the family can live a happier life.

The Chen family has two or three hundred acres of land, and now there is a talented man in the family, and there is a part of the tax-free land, which can always make them more proud.

The main source of income for the Chen family is the hundreds of acres of land in the countryside, which are basically tenant out.

Chen Jialang is a dull character, no talent for reading, so he learned a carpenter's trade, and later Chen simply gritted his teeth and opened a shop with silver, usually selling some woodcarving gadgets in it, but also through this shop can take on more carpenter work.

Generally speaking, the life of the Chen family is still okay, although it is not as good as the Xie family, but there is no worry about food and clothing.

Grandpa Xie thinks this marriage is good, but Xie Ronglan herself doesn't think so.

She thought that there was a second uncle who became a big official, and she didn't say that she was also an official's wife, at least she could marry some rich sons or official eunuchs.

As a result, she just found such a talented man for herself, Xie Ronglan was both aggrieved and hated Grandpa Xie.

It's also Xie Ronglan who thinks too highly of herself.

If nothing else, just that she had an abandoned mother was enough to strip all her pride from her.

"Chen Erlang is also studying in the county school now, and he has met Xie Zhou before, and he can usually speak, I also carefully inquired about the character of this Chen Erlang, and our Xie family can be poor, but the character and family education must not be bad."

Grandpa Xie's words were recognized by everyone in the family, except for Xie Ronglan.
