The two were taken to Xie's mansion, and Xie Xiuwen had not dispersed at that time, so Liu Ruolan arranged for them to bathe and change their clothes first, rest for a day, and talk in detail after the master came back in the evening.

The two are cousins, and it is appropriate for them to be placed together to rest at this time.

Xie Laiwang looked here, looked at the other side, and was full of curiosity, but felt more and more that the second brother was not easy.

How can a peasant boy who has no background and relied on his own skills to get to his current position?

When Xie Xiuwen came back, it was already dark.

Xie Laifu and Xie Laiwang were both a little restrained, Xu Xie Xiuwen's momentum was too strong, and Xie Laifu almost knelt directly.

Xie Xiuwen's face turned pale, and he glanced at himself uncomfortably: "I'll go change my clothes first, and the two cousins will sit down for a while." ”

The two brothers were also idle and wandering around the yard, and they just heard that the adults had returned home, so they immediately followed, and at this time Xie Xiuwen was wearing an official uniform, this momentum is not scary.

When Xie Xiuwen changed into civilian clothes and came out again, the family moved to the flower hall to eat together, and the atmosphere was finally not so embarrassing.

Liu Ruolan thought that she was not an outsider, and she was about to introduce her eldest daughter-in-law to the two of them, so she simply ate at the same table.

Xie Ronghui was not there, and there were only five of them eating at this table.

As for the two small ones, they are all managed by the nurse.

"This is Ronghui's daughter-in-law, when he got married, you didn't come, and now you just recognize your face. Jiaojiao, these are your two cousins. ”

Chen Jiaojiao immediately asked for peace, but the two of them were nervous.

People are women, how can they give their two crops to say goodbye?

However, the two of them still obediently endured, mainly against Xie Xiuwen's sight, and they didn't dare to move.

After the meal, Liu Ruolan and Chen Jiaojiao went back first, and after Xie Xiuwen ordered people to withdraw from the table, the people brought tea again.

"This is a consumption tea, but you should not drink too much, lest you not be able to sleep at night."

"Yes, second brother."

Now it's not called cousin, it's just called second brother, so it seems close.

"Now, I have two things to discuss with you. One is that there is an errand in the history of the city gate book at the east gate of the capital, which is not in the product, it is the third class of the outflow, and it is assessed every three years, and if it is correct, it can be promoted to one level. That is to say, if one of the two of you does this city gate book and order history, as long as you don't come nonsense, you will have a grade and a serious official body in six years, but from the ninth grade, the position is lower. ”

Hearing this, the two of them were enthusiastic, what happened to the outflow? It's also an errand to go out!

And this third-class outlet, it only takes six years to get an errand from the ninth grade, where can they find such a good thing?

The main reason is that neither of them has a reputation, such an errand, let alone a salary, but they are willing to find some money!

As soon as Xie Xiuwen saw the reaction of the two, he knew that it was okay.

He also knew that although the Xie family now had him, there would not be too many Zihui who really relied on the imperial examination, at least in Xie Ronghui's generation, it would be good to have four early ones after the day.

But this is the entire Xie family, not the Xie Xiuwen family.

Xie Xiuwen believes that Xie Ronglang will definitely be able to pass next year's township examination, but when it comes to the examination, he may not be sure, and Xie Xiuwen also has the heart to grind Xie Ronglang again, his temperament is still a little impatient, this is really in the officialdom, if you have to suffer a big loss.

He doesn't care about the reputation of being a genius or not, he only cares about whether his children can go far.

Just as he didn't suggest that Cheng Jingzhou take the exam too early, he still had such a suggestion out of love.

It's Xie Ronghui, you can try it next time, but the ranking may not be very good, Xie Ronghui's ability is how much, he knows it in his heart, but he is stable and responsible, which is very good.

Xie Zhou and Xie Rongcheng are still a little hot, and they have to continue to study hard, and they have to increase their experience, so he has the heart to let both of them go on a study tour.

Xie Xiuwen sees things in the long run, if the Xie family only points to the imperial examination and wants to become a local nobleman, and has to wait, if they wait for another twenty or thirty years, they may not really have much background.

Therefore, he had to find another way.

Isn't Xie Xiuqi a good example?

Although he is only a county minister, his rights are not small, and Xie Xiuqi may not be able to be promoted in the future.

It's all up to him to function.

It is not a violation, but it can also benefit others.

And it's not conspicuous.

How many powerful ministers like him in history didn't open the back door for their own people after reaching this position?

But he didn't, he wouldn't let his people enter some power departments, it was too dangerous.

He would rather seek stability than let his people's heads risk moving.

Therefore, this city gate book is very suitable.

Xie Xiuwen pondered it for a while and came to a conclusion.

"Laifu has a good brain, and his mouth is good, and he can speak, so it is just right for you to do this city gate book. It's just that you have to think about it, it's just a third-class outlet, and it's not a good errand. ”

"The second brother is laughing at me, I have some ability, and I still know it. I don't even have a reputation, so if I can get such an errand, I will burn high incense! ”

"Okay, you rest at home for two days, and when you go back, I'll ask Steward Fang to take you to familiarize yourself with the capital first, you have to remember some important mansions, what streets, alleys, etc., you have to memorize all of these, and then I will arrange for you to take office." As for these powerful networks in the capital, you have to take your time, and I will find someone to follow you by your side until you can memorize them well, and then I will withdraw them. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to my second brother."

Xie Laifu scratched his head embarrassedly, mainly because he didn't know anything else, and if the second brother arranged someone, then he wouldn't be black-eyed.

Xie Laiwang's eyes were hot, but he also knew that his brain was not as good as Xie Laifu's, and he didn't read much, and he didn't know all the words, so he really let him be a scholar, but I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it.

"Okay, then it's settled. As for Cousin Laiwang, I did arrange an errand for you here, but it was not such a serious errand, but it earned a lot of silver. ”

"The second brother's orders will be done."

Xie Laiwang also saw that no matter what the errand was, as long as the second brother was willing to support him, his life would not be bad in the future.

"That's the case, there are a few Zhuangzi outside the city, in the past, there was Chengye to help take care of things in the capital, I thought that Chengye was still young, so I wanted him to earn a background, and I didn't want to find outsiders to take care of it, it just so happened that my cousin had also planted crops, and I knew a lot of things better than me, so I thought about letting my cousin take over this stall, I don't know what you think?"
