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

Chapter 165
Xie Lin also knew something about the past.

Strictly speaking, Xie Xiuwen's grandfather was cheated by the master's family back then, which is equivalent to taking the blame for the master's family, but the master's family did not say anything. Helping, it can be seen that it is a typical example of people taking tea to cool down.

This kind of practice of abandoning people like evil shoes is really chilling.

Although Xie Lin felt wronged for Xie Xiuwen's team, he would not offend the master's family because of it, but it made him somewhat different about some things in his own family.

In his early years, he had repeatedly persuaded his grandfather that it is better to keep some distance from the master's family.

Xie Lin thought of a piece of news, his face darkened, he hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food, and then went to talk to his grandfather.

Xie Erye is now an official outside. Although the official position is not high, it is more or less a real vacancy, and it is more respected than taking a false position.

Xie Ming hadn't rested yet, and since his old wife passed away, he has been in poor spirits.

"It's so late, why do you want to come and talk to me?"

Xie Lin saluted and said, "Grandfather, my grandson is here tonight, and I also have something to talk to you about."

Xie Ming casually gestured for him to sit down and chat.

"I heard that the master's grandfather intends to send his daughter to the palace to participate in the draft next year, and the master's house also sent us a post, wanting to let our girls also attend the banquet. I don't know if it is Have a deep meaning?"

Xie Ming turned his head, feeling a little more satisfied with this grandson.

Their branch hadn't seen any improvement until the young grandson was selected as a scholar, which gave him a glimmer of hope.

If it hadn't been for the death of his old wife, which caused the child to miss the imperial examination, he wouldn't have won the Juren at the age of 24.

"You're really sharp, but it's a pity that neither your uncle nor your third and fourth uncles have noticed the danger."

Hearing him mention the word dangerous, Xie Lin knew that he had come to the right place tonight.

"Grandfather, my grandson said something disrespectful. The master's family may not be reliable. If you look at the branch in Gaoyang County back then, you will know that they are far inferior to their ancestors."

Xie Ming sighed, did he not know that the main branch of the branch has become more and more declining now?
But the problem is, it's one thing to know, but another thing to have the inextricable relationship right now.

"You don't want your sisters to enter the draft?"

Xie Lin shook his head: "The Xie family originally had an ancestor's precept that they were not allowed to send women into the palace. If the master's family wants to send people into the palace, that's their business. We'd better not get involved."

Xie Ming was in a bit of a dilemma. If their offshoots want to gain a foothold in the capital, they still have to rely on the main family.

Now that the second child is an official outside, and the third child is just an outsider, the two of them still need someone to help them.

So at this juncture, Xie Ming didn't really want to offend Xie Huaiyi.

"Grandfather, I know you have concerns. In the spring of next year, my grandson will live up to high expectations and be on the list. At that time, I will stay in Beijing and my father will be away. It will be better than before."

Xie Ming raised his head and took a deep look at him: "Sanlang, you are a good boy, but the officialdom is dangerous, if you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces."

"Grandson is not afraid. Grandfather, if we just rely on ourselves, we won't be able to get rich, at least we can live with peace of mind. If we rely on the master's family for everything, I'm afraid it will be a branch of Gaoyang County, which will be our fate in the future."

Xie Ming's heart was shocked, how could he never have thought of this possibility?
Just for the future of his children and grandchildren, he always wanted to give it a go.

"I will consider this matter carefully. But you are right, I will not let our girl into the palace, it is a place that eats people and does not spit out bones. My cousin only thought of this kind of thing when he was confused way."

If it's a serious marriage with the princes, that's all.

Now that the Holy Majesty is not yet in his thirties, the harem is full of one empress and four concubines, so what can we do if we send a woman into the palace at this time?

Don't you have to climb up step by step from the lower level?

Worse than a concubine!

A few days later, at the main residence of the Xie family on Anhe Street, a lively banquet started.

Xie Huaiyi, Xie Ming and several other elders were talking in the study together, and they couldn't help mentioning some students who came to Beijing.

Xie Ming didn't speak much, mainly drinking tea, until he heard someone mention Xie Xiuwen, he raised the corner of his eyes slightly.

Xie Huaiyi naturally also knew the name of this Xie Xiuwen.

"Brother Ming, have you heard of this Xie Jieyuan?"

"I've heard about it, but I haven't seen it. I heard from my grandson that this son is quite talented. Later, I ordered someone to investigate and found out that he is also considered to be old with our Xie family."

Is this called old?
If it is from the ancestors, it should be a grudge, right?

Wasn't Xie Xiuwen's grandfather tricked out of Beijing by you?

Of course, no one will say this clearly, but everyone knows it in their hearts.

Xie Huaiyi didn't care about a small Juren, so what if he won the Jinshi?
This is the capital city, and if one enters the imperial court, fighting alone will never make a difference!
It was precisely because of Xie Huaiyi's disdain that Xie Xiuwen was just passed over and he didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until the afternoon when the servant next to Xie Huaiyi came to report, that he raised his face and confessed a few words.

The banquet was over and most of the guests had dispersed. Xie Huaiyi originally wanted to rest in the study for a while, but he didn't expect that there would be a junior who insisted on coming to say hello, and said he had something important to report, so he had to take it seriously.

When Xie Chen came over, he noticed that Xie Huaiyi's complexion was not good, obviously there was a kind of displeasure at being disturbed.

"My grandson, Xie Chen, sees my cousin's grandfather."

Xie Huaiyi glanced at him, he really had no impression of this grand nephew.

Among Xie Ming's grandsons, there is only one Xie Lin who can make him pay more attention, and the rest are useless.

What's more, if you know that he is the son of Sanfang, you will know that he is the one who was adopted.

"The servant said you have something important to report?"

"Yes, great-grandfather."

It was the first time that Xie Chen met this grandfather alone like this, so he was naturally a little nervous. Even if Xie Huaiyi left the court for a few years, the coercion on him was not something ordinary people could bear.

"Xie Xiuwen is a member of Gaoyang County. He got to know Yuan in this township examination, and he will definitely be on the list next year. Grandfather should have made plans early on."

Xie Huaiyi was puzzled: "So what if he won the Jinshi? Besides, one of them has already broken ties with our master's family, and they are no longer a family. He is just a scholar, why do you care about him so much?"

Xie Chen's heart skipped a beat, he was so frightened that he broke out in sweat.

"Grandfather Huitang, your nephews know that you and Master Qin have always supported each other, but this Xie Xiuwen is Xu Yuanqing's disciple. His background is not ordinary. Once he enters the court, he will be reused by the Holy One in the future."

Xie Chen didn't dare to say everything, but he believed that Xie Huaiyi understood everything.
