Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 137 Make arrangements early
Xie Xiuwen had already gotten through with the Liu family on this matter, and even if they inquired, it was the result that the Liu family paid money to buy Zhuangzi.

Xie Xiuran was stunned. She never expected that Mrs. Liu would marry a Zhuangzi as a dowry!
As for Mr. Xie, who was at the side, he was completely stunned. He originally thought that he could take this opportunity to collect more money and display the old man's score well.

Whoever imagined it, it was a bad move!
"The village has a total of more than [-] acres. In addition to our own land and some favors, the vacant share is really not much, so I thought about simply distributing the remaining tax-free land to our clan relatives. This can be regarded as doing something for the clan, and let the clan relatives think of our family well."

Grandpa Xie was on the verge of speaking but couldn't speak.

It is right to put one's own clan first, no matter what.

As for other benefits, Mr. Xie naturally thought of the Liu family's dowry shop and the Liu family's property first. Since he got the advantage of the Liu family, he couldn't give the Liu family any benefits.

Anyway, at least my children and grandchildren don't have to go to serve in Yao.

The old patriarch and the village head were naturally very happy to learn that Xie Xiuwen was willing to share the [-] acres of tax-free land, and repeatedly praised him for his kind heart.

Now that Xie Xiuwen is a Juren lord, this is also a serious step into the official career. If someone in the Xie family is an official in the court, Xie Xiuwen can now be a magistrate of any county.

It's just a pity that the Xie family hasn't produced another official master for many years.

Now that Xie Xiuwen has been elected, finally let the people of the Xie clan see hope again.

Xie Xiuwen was so busy returning home this time, he didn't see Uncle Xie's house, and went to a three-day banquet in the county town, so he could rest with peace of mind.

"Rong Lang, come with me."

Xie Xiaolang, it should be Xie Ronglang now, he is clean and tidy now, and he has eaten well and lived well these days, and finally there is some flesh on his face.

"Do you still remember the two ancient poems I made you silent?"

"Go back to father, son remembers."

Xie Xiuwen asked him to recite it first, and then asked him to write it silently.

Very good, although the words are not very good, but there is no mistake.

"You practice calligraphy well at home. I will go back to the academy in two days. You have to help Weifu take care of your mother and sister at home."

"Yes, father, son, remember."

"Did someone bully you these days?"

Xie Ronglang shook his head, and then said: "In the beginning when I was walking in the village, some people did make trouble for me, but my fourth brother has been protecting me since I came back, and since then, no one dared to bully me anymore."

"That's good. You can study and write well at home, and you can do some housework with Shiro when you have nothing to do, and you can also exercise your body."

"Yes, father."

The reason why Xie Xiuwen procrastinated until now to adopt Xie Ronglang, on the one hand, was because he was worried that his reputation would be bad, which would harm his wife and daughter;

Xie Xiuwen finally had some free time, so he simply took his family to the small village.

"I've already found out everything. There are eight families living in this village. Three of them signed death contracts, and the rest signed live contracts. There are still a few years to expire. They all escaped in the past two years."

Liu Ruolan listened very carefully. When her husband is going to Beijing for the exam in the coming year, she will naturally take care of these things at home.

"I'll take you to have a look today, and relax by the way, so as not to be bored at home all the time."

The two children are fine, anyway, they can play freely in Xiejiazhuang, but Liu Ruolan is married as a woman, so it is difficult to go out frequently, and now that she has become a woman, she can no longer act casually.

Xie Xiuwen got out of the carriage first, held his daughter in his arms, and then helped his wife down with his own hands. When he was about to help his son again, he jumped down by himself.

Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows: "Be more cautious in the future, don't jump off like this again."

Xie Ronglang's small hands were entangled nervously: "Yes, father."

Liu Ruolan liked this son very much, and said angrily, "They are all children, they should be more lively."

Xie Xiuwen smiled, didn't bother with this issue any more, and followed Dou Zi to the front to call for the door.

When Zhuangtou learned that the new master's family was coming, he naturally called everyone together, and after welcoming the master's family into the main hall, they all knelt down and kowtowed.

"We also came here today to have a look, so as not to miss the master when we meet again in the future. Your name is Ge Er?"

"Master, little Ge Er, this is the villain's mother-in-law, and the others behind are the villain's son and daughter-in-law."

Xie Xiuwen yelled, and then carefully asked Zhuangzi how the output was, and what crops were planted in the farmland now.

Xie Rongzhao didn't have the mind to stay here all the time, he dragged Xie Ronglang's little hand and slipped out.

Xie Xiuwen also just pretended not to see it, and it was Liu Ruolan who smiled and asked Sister Wang to follow.

Xie Ronglang didn't dare to come out at first, but seeing his father nodding to him from a distance, he followed his sister with confidence.

Ge Er has three sons, and one daughter is married.

Xie Xiuwen came here this time just to see how the family's character is, and whether they can afford the job of Zhuangtou.

The previous head of the house was quite recommendable to Ge Er's family, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, Xie Xiuwen felt honest and trustworthy.

The [-] mu of land, apart from providing food and drink for these people, there is actually not much left for them.

What Xie Xiuwen meant was that he wanted to break up these people, but it was only [-] mu of land, and so many people were not needed.

"Is this your youngest son?"

"Master, this is Sangou. He is fourteen this year. If you need it, let him come to your side as an errand."

Xie Xiuwen took a look and felt that he was too young, and he might not be safe enough to do things.

"Have your three sons ever studied?"

Ge Er hurriedly replied: "Master Hui, I can read some words, but I dare not say that I have read books."

Xie Xiuwen called several other servants who signed the death contract to come over, and after seeing them one by one, he wanted to bring Fang Hu's family with him.

Liu Ruolan knew that he felt that Ge Sangou was too young and worried that he would not be able to support himself.

"Why did my husband take a fancy to this Fang Hu?"

"Fang Hu is a Lianjiazi at first glance, but for some reason he has been reduced to the point of selling himself as a slave. Besides, I see that his wife behaves quite well, and I can rest assured that she will serve you by your side in the future."

Liu Ruolan was surprised: "Isn't there a sister-in-law next to me? Is it necessary to add someone?"

"No rush, I have other arrangements for this matter."

Since Xie Xiuwen intends to bring his family to Beijing, he already has the idea of ​​becoming an official. Even if he fails next year, he will try again in three years.

Besides, now that he met Zhao Shizi by coincidence, he will take the test next year, at least he doesn't have to worry about someone playing tricks behind his back.
