Chapter 344: The House
Facing Xie Xiuran, who was obviously a little humble, Cheng Jingzhou was also thoughtful: "Uncle, the younger generation has seen the eldest brother, and the child has grown very well, white and fat, a little similar to the eldest brother." ”
Xie Xiuran is now very happy to hear a sentence or two about his son with his own ears.
It's just that no matter how much he misses his son, no one will really sympathize with him.
After the banquet, Cheng Jingzhou mentioned his relationship with Xie Rongzhao in front of several elders of the Xie family.
"You are also old, and you should get married. How is Zhao Zhao in the capital? ”
"Back to Grandpa, everything is fine Zhaozhao. My father and mother have already said that they will go with me when I return to Beijing, and they happen to help with the marriage. ”
Grandpa Xie thought that the child who ignored and didn't remember how old he was back then was now the most proud one of the Xie family, and he inevitably felt a little guilty in his heart.
If it weren't for their partiality back then, their granddaughter wouldn't have to endure so much at a young age.
"Okay, you are all good, you are a good official, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will come back to see more."
"Yes, Grandpa."
The news of Cheng Jingzhou's champion naturally reached Cheng Yuanyuan's ears.
She is now embarrassed and has been expelled from the Cheng family, but she is the blood of the Cheng family, so the Cheng family still gave her a place to live, although she is not as rich as the Cheng family, at least she can have no worries about food and clothing.
Cheng Yuanyuan had realized by this time that because of her constant trouble, the Cheng family completely gave up on her.
After all, if it weren't for her, the old lady wouldn't have died.
A big charge of unfilial piety is pressed down, at this time, let alone washing and cooking here, I am afraid that she will be despised and spurned in prison.
Cheng Yuanyuan was arranged by the Cheng family to marry, an ordinary Zhuang family, not starving to death, but not too rich.
The Cheng family was really scared of Cheng Yuanyuan, so they found her a family far away from the county seat.
Mrs. Cheng was worried that she would jump out again and delay the future of the children in the family, so she simply married her to a powerful grandmother.
Mama took the moonsilver from the Cheng family, and she only needed to guard Cheng Yuanyuan every day and not let her have other thoughts.
What Mrs. Cheng didn't know was that Cheng Jingzhou hated Cheng Yuanyuan to the core, if she hadn't done things in her diet back then, Mrs. Cheng would not have almost died.
Therefore, Cheng Jingzhou bought off the left neighbor of this family and asked them to monitor Cheng Yuanyuan, but if there was any change, he immediately went to Cheng's house to report.
With such double insurance, the Cheng family has only lived a few years of peace.
Now that Cheng Jingzhou has won the champion, he is Cheng Yuanyuan's cousin, if he had changed the past, he would have made a fuss again proudly.
But this time, she didn't dare.
The Cheng family doesn't want her anymore.
During the New Year's holidays, she didn't even have a place to visit her relatives.
Her biological parents don't recognize her, let alone anyone else?
Cheng Jingzhou moved some of the books before his township exam back, in addition to the eldest brother and second brother, there are several cousins who are also studying, Cheng Jingzhou, like Xie Xiuwen, hopes that there will be a few more promising people in the family, and they can also help each other in the court in the future, at least he will open the way in front, and the brothers and nephews in the back will not be stumped again.
The Cheng family was originally a family with a head and a face in Gaoyang County, but now there is another champion, so naturally everyone is stammering.
As soon as Cheng Jingzhou said that he wanted to get married, several uncles began to discuss.
The old lady of the Cheng family passed away, but the Cheng family has not yet separated.
Several of Cheng Jingzhou's uncles still live together, mainly because there is no disharmony between their brothers.
On the day of returning to Beijing, Cheng Jingzhou's parents accompanied him and brought a large number of silver tickets.
The Cheng family has also benefited a lot in recent years, because they are in-laws with Xie Xiuwen, so the Cheng family's industry has always been protected by the powerful.
No one is a fool, Xie Xiuwen can sit firmly in such a high position as the official department in just a few years, it can be seen that the future is great, and the eldest son under Xie Xiuwen's name has also been promoted, and the family inheritance will not be bad in the future.
Mrs. Cheng thought about what her son said earlier about buying a house in the inner city, but she was not sure if there was a suitable house.
"Let's go back to the capital, do we rent a house outside, or live in Xie Mansion?"
Cheng Xuezheng was thinking that he should live in a rented place, after all, the two families are in-laws, and they both live in the same place, which always feels inappropriate.
Cheng Jingzhou doesn't matter, he can live anywhere, even if he rents a house outside, he can see the little boy every day.
The two-month holiday is approaching, and Cheng Jingzhou and his party have finally arrived in Beijing.
As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I saw Steward Fang coming to pick him up with someone.
Cheng Jingzhou was a little surprised: "Uncle Fang, who are you?" ”
"Cheng Gongzi is back, let's go with my subordinates. The lord is still in the yamen, and the lady has been waiting for a long time. ”
The Cheng family in the back glanced at each other, yes, don't think about renting a house this time.
Liu Ruolan and Xie Rongzhao were indeed waiting for them early.
Staying in Xie Mansion, Mrs. Cheng looked at the settled courtyard, and also knew that her in-laws did not treat them as outsiders at all, they had been separated in the past few years, and now there was such an obvious gap in the family world, I didn't expect Liu Ruolan to treat them as before.
"It's still the master's vision, the girl who set the Xie family back then, now the relationship between the two children is good, and the elders of the Xie family also like him, so we don't need to worry about it in the future."
Cheng Xuezheng was a little proud, "Of course, Zicheng is not the kind of person who is bent on clinging to the powerful." ”
If he had the intention to cling, he would not have offended so many people for Liu Ruolan back then.
It's the end of May and it's getting hotter.
Several elders sat together, and naturally mentioned the matter of the house.
Liu Ruolan ordered someone to get the deed and the deed of the year.
"These are the two mansions I bought in the inner city the year before last, one of them was intended to be a dowry for the good baby, and the other one, I was thinking about buying it first, whether it would be useful or not, to say that I was not afraid of your jokes, it was just to make a bargain at that time."
Liu Ruolan said that she was greedy for cheapness, referring to the fact that the house was sealed by the imperial court and then sold by the imperial court.
In other words, this is the house of the convict.
"These two are three-entry mansions, not as big as the current Xie Mansion, I was greedy and cheap, and bought it for four thousand five hundred taels of silver, I know that Jing Zhou has been looking for a house for a while, but the house in the inner city can be met but not sought, and it is very nervous. So I thought, you guys are here too, let's discuss, this house should be bought by me on your behalf, how about it? ”
Mrs. Cheng was stunned for a moment, and understood that she wanted the Cheng family to buy the house at the original price, so that the house belonged to the Cheng family, and it also saved outsiders from gossiping.
