Chapter 308: Negotiation

Xie Xiuwen has always been a very calm and rational person.

As long as the people from his hometown don't hold him back, he doesn't mind taking out some benefits.

Whether it is money or fame and power that they value, it is not impossible to lend them for use.

Of course, there is a premise for all this: you can't get him into trouble, and his family is his bottom line.

Xie Xiuying learned that her son wanted to stay in the capital to study, so she was naturally a little reluctant.

She doesn't have only one son, but this is her eldest son, and since he was a child, he is smart and sensible, and she always thinks that this son is the most promising.

Reluctantly reluctant, but when she heard that she could get the guidance of her second brother in the future, Xie Xiuying was naturally very happy in her heart.

Several juniors of the Xie family have to be guided and taught by him, even Liu Dalang has also won Xiucai, and she, her own sister, also has to get some benefits.

"Our brother Xi is still young, and we will have to trouble the second uncle in the future, think about it, even if our brother Xi can be a jinshi, it will be more than ten years later, and now our second brother is a big official of the fourth grade, more than ten years later, it will not be even more powerful?"

Xie Xiuying listened to this.

And she can also clearly feel that her status in the Lu family has risen sharply in recent years.

In the past, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law always disliked her as a countryman and had no knowledge, and they ridiculed her from time to time.

It's different now.

She has a brother who is a big official, and no matter how many people dare to bully her, it is the official who makes the decision for her.

Although the capital is farther away, Gaoyang County is near, and there are several talented men in the Xie family, which is her confidence in her in-law's family.

"Can we be an official in the future?"

Lu Jie said with a smug face: "That must be possible!" Don't worry, I'll rest assured that I'll leave it to my second brother to discipline. Although the second brother and you have had some conflicts before, they are brothers and sisters, and I can see that he is good to several juniors, and even the son of the eldest brother's family is willing to give advice, not to mention our brother Xi'er? ”

Xie Xiuying also thinks so, but she doesn't really want to give up money.

Lu Jie's face darkened: "You are a woman!" How can knowledge be so short-sighted! Let's just take out some money, do you think the second brother can really discipline the child according to this money? Not to mention anything else, let's go out of this school by ourselves, and it's not okay to eat and wear everything in the Xie family? ”

Xie Xiuying felt that this was her brother's house, even if it was his money, what was wrong?

Xie Xiuwen's movements were very fast, and he helped Lu Xi introduce him to the Cao family's ethnology.

Although the reputation of the Cao family is not as good as that of the Wang family, Sheng is also a scholar for generations at home, and Lu Xi can go to the Cao family's house to learn and go to class, which is also for Xie Xiuwen's sake.

As for the restraints, because they are not from the Cao family, they naturally want to come out.

"There are currently two gentlemen in the Cao family's study, both of whom are from a prominent background, and under normal circumstances, Lord Cao and his brother will take time out every month to guide their articles. This was originally the Cao family's genealogy, and no outsiders were added, but Cao Xin had an old relationship with our family, and Cao Xin also wanted to ask me to spare a few times a year to give me some advice, so I didn't want much in this way. ”

Lu Jie nodded, it is indeed not much.

It only costs fifty taels of silver a year, and other festivals will be broadcast by the Cao family, so students don't have to pay out of their own pockets, which is also good.

Xie Xiuying heard fifty taels of silver at first glance, and felt that it was a bit much.

But Lu Jie scolded her for not knowing the height of the sky!

"Do you know how much money it costs to invite a gentleman to teach in our city? Now it's two masters who teach, and they can get the guidance of a few adults, which can't be bought with any amount of money! ”

Xie Xiuying was scolded, so she didn't dare to speak again.

"Second brother, you also know our family's family background, we can afford this bundle of silver, in addition, there is also the child's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, we all have to come out by ourselves, the child is already very troublesome for you and the second sister-in-law to stay here, and we can't let you suffer again."

Xie Xiuwen shook his head and raised his hand to interrupt him: "Brother-in-law doesn't have to be so outside. The gentleman lectures, the students listen, and it is natural for this restraint to come out. If the child has a heart, even if you can't take out the money, it's okay for me to pay it. ”

Lu Jie hurriedly said: "No, no, no! Don't listen to Xiuying's nonsense just now, fifty taels of silver is already taking good care of us. It's just that we didn't have much silver money this time, and we still have more than a hundred taels of silver left on us, so other aspects may be ......."

Liu Ruolan said with a smile: "Uncle, you don't need to mention this, you can do it yourself, which is also a respect for Mr." The rest of you don't have to worry about it anymore. The child lives in Xie Mansion, so I will naturally take good care of him as my own child. After two years, he will be able to keep up with his homework, and he may be able to go to the White Crane Academy to be with a few children. ”

Lu Jie hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, second sister-in-law." ”

In the end, Lu Jie left one hundred taels of silver tickets, and Xie Xiuwen only said that this was enough for him to be bound for two years, and then he would talk about it later.

In this way, Lu Jie and Xie Xiuying really saved a lot of money.

Xie Xiuying is still very satisfied with the fact that she can get cheap.

Liu Ruolan thought that the child was still young, and if she let him have a yard of his own, she was worried that the child would be scared at night, and she was also worried that he would not be used to living, so she discussed with Xie Xiuwen and temporarily placed him in Xie Ronglang's yard.

Because Xie Ronglang can only come back once in ten days, he usually only lives alone with Lu Xi.

"I think the little guy you brought this time is not bad, stay and let him take care of Brother Xi'er, after all, they are fellow villagers, and sometimes they can talk closer."

Lu Jie has nothing to do.

With a servant of his own family with him, he can also feel more at ease.

Xie Laosan and the Wang family can be said to be the most comfortable these days.

Seeing his son every day, especially seeing that Xie Rongen can actually step down and study, Wang is not to mention how excited.

In order to reassure Xie Laosan and his wife, Xie Xiuwen also deliberately took them to the White Crane Academy when he was resting, and then went to the Yunlu General's Mansion.

Seeing the environment in which their son lives and studies, the couple can finally return to their hometown with peace of mind.

"Third brother, Shiro is going to follow the path of a military general, will you couple feel inappropriate?"

Xie Laosan said innocently: "We don't understand this, we all listen to the second brother." I also know that the road of a military general is not easy to follow, and if you want to become a general, you will have to bleed and be injured, and you may not even be able to come back. Second brother, we are all men, I'm not afraid of this, I'm just worried that the child can't stand it. ”

Xie Xiuwen also means this.

The woman is always soft-hearted, and he is also worried that his younger siblings are unwilling.

"I don't dare to say it in the future, but at least for now, I won't let him go to dangerous places, a few big camps in the capital, I naturally have a way to help him find an errand. Of course, if he can become a disciple of General Yunlu, then his future will definitely be open! ”
