Chapter 422: Persuasion
Why didn't Mrs. Chen let her do it?
It's not because the Chen family's rooms are treated fairly, other people's families don't have that kind of satin clothes, why do they have to make them for her children?
Why is your face so big?
Xie Ronglan was scolded like this by her mother's brother, although she was not convinced in her heart, she did not dare to resist it strongly.
She knew all too well where she was now.
Her mother's family is not close to her, and even her father is unwilling to take care of her, and now all she can count on is this brother.
"Erlang has no intention of taking the exam again, because he thinks that his talent is average, so what if he really takes the Jinshi exam? Your own dowry has never been subsidized by your husband and children, and he can't bear to watch all the money he has saved in his family be spent by him, so he doesn't take the exam, what's wrong with just being a teacher with peace of mind? ”
As soon as she mentioned this, Xie Ronglan wanted to blow up.
"How can this be? He's a master, so he won't take the exam, and it's not difficult to be an official, right? The second uncle can make his cousin, who was born in Xiucai, a Beijing official, why can't he help my family's Erlang? ”
Xie Ronghui frowned, can this be the same?
Back then, the little grandfather's family had the grace to help his father.
's father took care of his uncle, as well as Xie Rongcheng, all to repay his kindness.
What kindness do you have for their family?
Why do you ask people to help you?
Besides, Chen Erlang's intention is to teach, so why do they have to let people become officials?
Besides, Chen Erlang also analyzed his personality very clearly, he is too honest, if he is really an official, he doesn't know how to make people play to death!
An honest petty official with no background, are you afraid that others will not know that you are a good chess piece to use as a top cylinder?
Xie Ronghui didn't say these words to Xie Ronglan, and even if she did, she wouldn't understand.
So Xie Ronghui said very simply: "My brother-in-law is not an official, and he is from a background, so he can indeed be an official, but the problem is that he is unwilling to leave Gaoyang County, the Chen family and their clansmen have invested a lot in him over the years, even if he is just teaching now, he can have an income of one hundred taels of silver a year, do you have to force him?" ”
Xie Ronghui knew that after Chen Erlang was promoted, there were more tax-free fields in his name, so in addition to his own family, he gave some to the clansmen, and he also spent money to buy 20 acres of sacrificial fields for the clan's sacrificial emergencies.
This style is naturally no problem.
But Xie Ronglan always felt that it was not enough to raise people, and she was bent on making Chen Erlang a big official, so that she could have a feeling of raising her eyebrows.
Why bother?
Who are you going to compare yourself to?
If you just want to compare with these people in Gaoyang County, you are already living in the upper class, so why bother yourself?
Xie Ronghui also knew that this sister had always had a big idea, and it was impossible for him to convince her at all, so he simply didn't bother anymore, he just hoped that she could think clearly as soon as possible, she was married, she was a wife, and she was also a mother, and she couldn't just take care of herself selfishly.
Xie Ronghui brought gifts to his three nieces and nephews, and told them to study hard, even if they were girls, to read more and be literate, because reading can be wise.
Xie Ronglang doesn't have anything to worry about here, the uncle's family has nothing to do with him, he came back just to take a walk, and his relatives are all in the capital.
Xie Ronglang left the Xie family within a few days of being passed under Xie Xiuwen's name, so he was not familiar with the Xie family, but Xie Rongche and Xie Rongye asked for leave to come back after hearing the news, and the three of them had something to say.
After all, the friendship of studying together quickly dispelled that sense of alienation.
Xie Ronglang came back this time and specially brought books for the two of them, some of which his father asked him to bring back, and divided them into several parts, some were sent to the Cheng family, some were given to the clan, and one was designated for them.
"You two also have to work harder, my dad said, although you are not as talented as me, but you are willing to work hard, when you go back to the countryside to try, you can try, maybe you can win." Even if you don't win, it doesn't matter, just try again. Anyway, now that the family has money, they can afford to pay for you to study, but Daddy said that you can't just care about studying, you still have to pay attention to the teachings of the juniors in the family, and be more considerate of your wife. ”
Xie Rongche rolled his eyes: "I know that you are smart, there is no need to step on our brothers to show you!" ”
Xie Rongye said with a smile: "Xiao Lang is indeed talented. Nineteen-year-old Tanhualang is really a face for our parents. ”
Xie Ronglang loves to hear this.
gave the family a long face, which means that it was right for Daddy and Auntie to adopt him back then.
"You're going back in two days, aren't you? I can't bear it. ”
"Okay, you two work hard, don't die studying, if you are almost knowledgeable, you can study. My father said that if you are successful and do not want to take the exam again, he can help you arrange errands. If you are willing to take the test better, he is waiting for you in the capital. ”
Xie Rongye sighed and said: "I don't have much hope, if I can be promoted, I will be content." Let's take a look at the next test. Ah Lang, if I really win the lift, can I ask the second uncle to help me arrange an errand in Fucheng? Otherwise, our Gaoyang County will also become, anyway, I don't want to be too far from home. ”
Xie Ronglang glared at him: "It's useless!" ”
Xie Rongye smiled: "I'm unproductive." Shiro is far away in the capital, and we are the only ones with my father and mother. You are all promising, Archer and I are not talented, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass the next hometown test, don't blame us for dragging the Xie family back. ”
That's a long way off.
"Alright, I know your thoughts. It's okay that you can spend your days at home more securely and more leisurely. You know my father, as long as our Xie family's sons are self-motivated, he is willing to help. ”
"Well, we will definitely not disappoint the second uncle."
Grandpa Xie is really happy with Xie Ronglang, a half-way grandson.
The young Tanhualang, and the family affair is still the daughter of the Guozi Sacrifice Wine Lord's family, after this Xie family is a veritable scholarly family, the Xie family is in Gaoyang County, no, it should be said that it is in Jinzhou, they are all famous.
Today's Xiejiazhuang is very different from more than ten years ago.
The village has been re-planned, and most of the clansmen's houses have been rebuilt.
The blue brick and tiled houses that were rare in those days are now everywhere.
There are even several families who have built houses with two entrances.
Some have moved to the county, but their old houses have also been specially renovated, and in any case, they will return here when they are old.
"Grandpa, when we passed through Fucheng this time, we saw the son mentioned in your letter, looking at his demeanor, Mrs. Cheng's maiden nephew can't be wrong, and Xuanxuan will enjoy a blessed life in the future."
