Liu Ruolan also learned about the Chen family's situation from the Wang family.

There are two or three hundred acres of meager property, and there is his own house in the county, and now he has opened a carpenter's shop, which must be a good day.

Not to mention anything else, there can be one or two hundred taels of silver in the field alone this year, plus there is a carpenter's shop, and the family population is small, it will not be bad.

Now that the Xie family's old house has been renovated and the yard has been expanded, Liu Ruolan and Xie Rongzhao are naturally arranged to live in the best courtyard in the inner courtyard.

The main courtyard is now where the old lady lives, and Xie Xiuran remarried a lady Qi, but unfortunately, the day before yesterday, Qi's mother's family came to report that her old lady was very sick, so she was sent back to her mother's house by Xie Xiuran early yesterday morning to serve the sick, and now she hasn't come back.

It stands to reason that the eldest of these three sons should inherit the family business, and the best in the family should be close to the long house first.

But in fact, now that Changfang has no children, and because of the bastard things Xie Xiuran did before, he doesn't dare to ask for anything, and Grandpa Xie will naturally no longer be biased against him.

Nowadays, in the inner courtyard, in addition to the main courtyard, the best courtyard is reserved for the second room, even if no one has come back to the second room before, it is still empty, and no other people are ready to live there.

The yards of the long house and the three-room house are about the same size, and the number of houses is almost the same.

If you change the previous Gao family, you will inevitably make a lot of trouble.

But now the Qi family, who has just entered the door, naturally knows who the pillar of the Xie family is now, where can he dare to say a word?

Qi's time to enter the door is not short, but she has not been able to conceive a child, because of this, Grandma Xie has not rubbed her less.

Qi also knows that he is a woman but cannot have children, so he is naturally weak-hearted, so he is usually very humble in his words and deeds, which is very similar to Liu Ruolan in the past.

The mother and daughter entered the inner courtyard, and after settling down, Wang Zizhen and Chen Xia went to prepare hot water, working hard along the way, so that the lady could have a good rest after bathing.

They also prepared a lot of gifts for this trip, many of which had already been given out in the main hall before, and some of them were to be prepared for the elders and some juniors in the clan tomorrow.

"Auntie, these copies are all prepared for the old patriarch, the patriarch and the village chief's family, the one from the little grandfather's family, we have already sent it before we come back, you said that if Grandpa knows, will you be unhappy?"

The little grandfather in Xie Rongzhao's mouth is Xie Xiuwen's uncle, Xie Xiuqi's father, and Xie Rongcheng's grandfather.

Liu Ruolan knew about some of the elders' past entanglements, shook her head and said: "We don't mention it, and Uncle won't take the initiative to publicize it, your grandfather won't know about it, even if he does, he won't really blame us, after all, now your father is an official, and he always has to pay attention to reputation." ”

Xie Rongzhao thought about it, Daddy had helped Uncle Xiuqi get an official position, if Grandpa really wanted to blame, I am afraid that he would have been furious.

In short, the people who benefit are all Xie Jiazi, so there is nothing to worry about.

In fact, after Grandpa Xie learned that Xie Xiuwen had given Xie Xiuqi an official position in the capital, in addition to being shocked, he was happy!

He doesn't get angry.

I used to get along badly with a few brothers, because they had their own calculations.

And he also knew that when Xie Xiuwen was studying, he had a lot of help from his younger brother.

Now that his son is doing this, it can be regarded as repaying his kindness.

The reason why Grandpa Xie is really happy is that he has a feeling of raising his eyebrows.

You used to look down on me all the time!

Don't you still have to count on my son to help you?

Think about it, isn't the grandson of the old family just following Xie Xiuwen now?

To put it bluntly, it was his family's cultivation that was successful, and those who looked down on him before were no longer convinced, so they had to come over and talk to him.

Grandpa Xie felt happy in his heart, so he was not dissatisfied.

And since Xie Xiuqi and Xie Chengye were brought to the capital, Uncle Xie will also send people over to give gifts during the New Year's Festival, Grandpa Xie has a good attitude towards this little brother, and every time he also asks the third daughter-in-law to prepare a return gift, as for the other two rooms, there is no such good luck.

The next day, just after breakfast, the Xie family's mansion was lively.

Some elders of the clan came to talk, and some juniors came to say goodbye.

Liu Ruolan looked at these children happily, and asked them what books they have read now, when they will be able to end up, and so on.

Liu Ruolan prepared some gifts of pen, ink, paper and inkstone for those children, and some little girls prepared some headdresses, most of which were silver hairpins, silver hairpins and the like.

There was a lot of noise, and when the children were gone, the adults could finally talk in this room.

Because Xie Rongzhao had just returned from the capital and wanted to greet many elders, she stayed in the house, and then saluted the elders one by one.

The village chief's daughter-in-law smiled like a flower on her face.

"Look at our little girl, this time she has grown into a big girl. Tell me about how well you've been living, why haven't you grown a few taels of meat? ”

A little daughter-in-law on the side also reached out and touched Xie Rongzhao's thin arm, and agreed: "It's a little thinner, but it's too tossing on the road this time, so I don't have a good appetite?" ”

Xie Rongzhao went back one by one, and also received a lot of gifts, and then was sent outside by Liu Ruolan to play.

The Wang family also introduced several new daughters-in-law to Liu Ruolan, all of whom have been added to the clan in recent years.

Basically, they are juniors, and they have to call Liu Ruolan an aunt.

"Yo, this little blessing doll looks really good, hug it and I'll take a look."

Liu Ruolan's momentum now is not comparable to Grandma Xie, who likes to rely on her seniority to oppress people.

looks mild, but when you raise your hand, all that comes out is extravagance.

Even if Liu Ruolan always felt that she was inferior to those noble daughters, but in fact, without a trace, she learned a lot, and now she is a qualified official wife.

The little daughter-in-law was instructed by her mother-in-law, so she stepped forward with the child in her arms.

Liu Ruolan looked at this little doll looking really good, white and chubby, hugged her in her arms, and said to the Wang family on the side: "Third brother and sister, do you look at this child like Shiro when he was a child?" I remember Shiro was also chubby when he was a child. ”

Wang smiled: "When the second sister-in-law said this, it is really a bit similar. Alas, I just remembered that we Shiro were also quite white when we were children. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole room burst into laughter.

Xie Rongen has always liked to run around when he grew up, so naturally it is a lot darker.

Thinking about it now, he was also such a white and fat doll when he was a child.

"Is this kid named? What's it called? ”

The little daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "Back to Auntie, I only took a nickname called Niuniu, and the big name has not yet risen, I heard that Auntie has also read, or Auntie will give us a big name for Niuniu?" ”
