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

Xie Huaiyi knew that she was talking about those young people from the side branches of the outer city.

However, Xie Huaiyi was somewhat hesitant.

Although the side branch is farther away, but the business development of that branch is good, and the money is quite rich, but if you look at the nobles in the capital, some of them are not on the table.

Houses in the inner city of the capital are not something anyone can buy if they want.

In addition to the ancestral houses of some aristocratic families, there are also houses or gardens built by the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court. It is a house bestowed by the emperor.

Generally, as long as there is no special instruction, the house rewarded by the emperor can be passed on to future generations.

As for the house from the labor department, if the official is demoted one day, or returns to his hometown, then the house has to be taken back to the court and used by the next official. In this way, some officials from poor families can save a lot money.

Of course, there are still some houses that can be bought and sold, but most masters who have houses in the inner city will not be willing to buy or sell them.

To put it bluntly, those who can live in the inner city are all respectable families. If you hear that a house in the inner city is going to sell, no matter how big or small, in the eyes of others, this means that the family is in decline.

Therefore, generally speaking, it is difficult to buy and sell houses in the inner city.

The side branch Mrs. Xie mentioned just now is actually the one that has not yet released the fifth server with Xie Huaiyi, but will soon release the fifth server. The current head of the family is called Xie Ming. In terms of seniority, he is the same generation as Xie Huaiyi, but Xie Ming But he is much older than Xie Huaiyi.

"Have you met those young men from Xie Ming's family?"

"I've seen it before, but I haven't talked much, not to mention knowledge, and I can't even tell whether it's a rule or not."

Xie Huaiyi nodded, it seemed that if he was free, it would be better for Xie Ming, the family brother, to bring a few children to visit.

"After the snow melts in a few days, you can arrange another banquet in the clan. At that time, remember to post a post to Xie Ming's family, asking him to bring the young men and women over."

"Yes, ma'am."

Mrs. Xie's eyes flickered, and she wants to bring some young ladies?

Could it be that the husband is still thinking of sending the offspring's daughter into the palace?

If this is the case, I don't know if I will be divided into my daughter's favor.

Mrs. Xie had this layer of doubts, so she was naturally more distracted by the little ladies of Xie Ming's branch.

Mrs. Xie is also from a great family, and now she is in charge of the inner house of the Xie family. Needless to say, she has many eyes and ears.

In less than three days, I found out all the girls of the right age in Xie Ming's branch, not only their age, appearance, etiquette, talent, but also their birth date and who they are at odds with at home, etc., thank you The madam got them all, which shows how clever her methods are.

Xie Ming was very happy when he received the post.

Their family is quite respectable in the outer city. After all, they live in a big mansion with Wu Jin, and their family has produced a few capable scholars now, how can they not be happy?
Xie Ming's eldest son is in the capital, and he has only one honor in his body, so now he is teaching in his own family school. The second son was sent to a foreign post, and now he is a fifth-rank official. The kind outside, barely said that it can be regarded as entering the officialdom, after all, the people who deal with are the officials.

Now he and his fourth son are in charge of general affairs in the family, and among the grandchildren, besides the grandson who has passed the Juren examination, there is also a grandson who has been adopted under the name of the third son. The quota for a supervising student is only waiting to join Chunwei in the coming year to see the results.

Third Master Xie and his wife had a deep understanding, but it was a pity that their legitimate son died young at the age of three, and later gave birth to two daughters.

Xie Sanye didn't want to take a concubine, so he simply thought of adopting him.

The branch of Xie Ming and the branch of the Xie family in Gaoyang County are also considered to be closer in blood. Strictly speaking, Xie Ming's grandfather and Grandpa Xie's grandfather in Gaoyang County are still cousins.

It sounds a bit convoluted, but for those who value the clan, this is also a relative, although it is a bit far away.

Back then when Xie Ming went to Gaoyang County to do business, he simply brought a boy back and adopted him under his name, so he could be regarded as his heir.

Third Master Xie's adopted son is called Xie Chen, who is the same age as Xie Lin, the eldest son of Second Master Xie's family, except for a slight difference in month.

It was also a coincidence that Xie Lin passed the Juren examination step by step through his own efforts; while Xie Chen relied on his adoptive father's entrusted relationship to spend money and got a place in the supervisor.

Although the number of supervisors is a little low, and the strength is not as good as those who actually passed the exam, at least they all have equal opportunities to participate in the exam.

When Xie Chen learned that the master's house was going to hold a banquet, he naturally thought of Chun Wei in the coming year.

"Third brother, do you have any ideas for the banquet at the master's house?"

Xie Lin was the third brother at home, so Xie Chen called him third brother.

Xie Lin glanced at this cousin, and shook his head slightly: "It's just an ordinary banquet a year ago, and there is nothing to consider. It's just that the grandparents at the master's house pay great attention to rules and etiquette, so don't be rude at that time Just fine."

Xie Chen hastily bowed respectfully. Although he is the eldest son of Sanfang, he is very clear that he is adopted under the name of his adoptive father after all, and this status is far less valuable than Xie Lin and others.

"Thank you, third brother, for your suggestion."

"Thank you, it's not the first time you have attended such a banquet, why do you ask?"

Xie Chen considered one or two things: "Third brother, the master's family has returned to his hometown for three years to observe filial piety, and this year he has only fulfilled his filial piety. I heard that the two cousins ​​from the master's house will participate in the Spring Festival next year. Insufficient, I showed timidity in front of my two cousins."

Xie Lin chuckled: "You don't have to be so self-effacing. Your knowledge is still good. Our Xie family is also a famous family. Even if there are many branches now, it still has a lot of background. If you can win one or two from the master's family that day A few words of advice, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to use them in this life."

Xie Huaiyi was an official in the scientific examination back then, and I heard that he was praised by the late emperor, so there is nothing wrong with Xie Lin's words.

Xie Chen said implicitly: "What the third brother said is true, but there are rumors outside that the current emperor does not like Xie's family. If not, it would not be possible to see the master's grandfather who is reused today. I am also a little uneasy in my heart. .”

Xie Lin's face straightened, he glanced at him lightly, and then said: "It's not something you and I can talk about in the hall. Besides, the Holy Majesty's servant has his own considerations, and you and I do our part well. That's it."

"Yes, third brother taught you the right thing, younger brother remember it."

Xie Lin didn't want to talk to him any more, and Xie Chen also realized that it would be a little embarrassing for him to stay any longer, so he got up and left.

The servant brought over another hot tea, and said dissatisfiedly, "This Fourth Young Master doesn't know what he's up to, he dares to say anything!"
