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

Chapter 173 Promise
Although Grandpa Xie sounded a bit confused, he probably made a good guess.

He looked at this old wife who had been with him for most of his life, and for a moment didn't know whether he should scold her or divorce her.

Grandpa Xie is still rational after all, "You all go out, the boss is guarding outside, no one can get close. The second, you stay and speak clearly."

Xie Ronglan and some other grandchildren were not here in the first place, so Mr. Xie actually just sent his son and daughter-in-law away.

After all, it is not a matter of long face, naturally, the less people know about it, the better.

There were only three of them, father and son, in the room, Grandpa Xie's expression was extremely ugly.

"Tell yourself what's going on."

Grandma Xie knew that she had reached this point, and she couldn't hide it anymore, but she dared not say that she was greedy for money first, so she simply followed what the two sons said earlier, and only said that it was Xie Xiuning's parents who repeatedly forced her I had no choice but to suppress my own son.

"Yes, Xie Liujin forced me. I really can't do anything. Their son was taken to the capital. I heard that there are four or five servants who serve his son. If I don't agree with them, they will punish him The second child is ruthless."

Once this lie is made up, the rest will follow naturally.

Grandma Xie also seemed to have found a chance to clear her name, and she became more and more enthusiastic.

"I'm just trying to get my second son to overwhelm his talent, but if Xie Liujin makes a move, what he wants is our son's arms and legs, and even his life!"

Grandpa Xie believed this, but Xie Xiuwen didn't believe a single word.

Not to mention whether Xie Liujin's family has such a great ability, but whether Xie Ming's family dares to do such a thing is a question.

Besides, although the Xie family in Gaoyang has been completely divided into two Xie families with the Xie family in the capital, it does not mean that the Xie family in the capital dares to disregard the eyes and ears of all parties and attack the former clan.

The Xie clan in the capital city is also based in a scholarly family, if there are rumors that they are cruel to the people of the same clan, then Xie Huaiyi will suffer a great loss.

However, right now, the old lady's words can successfully drag Xie Xiuning's family into trouble, and he just wanted to see how the Xie family in the capital planned to deal with this matter.

Grandma Xie and Xie Xiuning didn't have many correspondences, and there were only five or six letters in total, and there was nothing worth pursuing in them, not even a signed letter.

Therefore, Grandma Xie was not worried about her lies being exposed.

In any case, she was Xie Xiuwen's biological mother, so her words were naturally much more credible than Xie Liujin's.

The next day, to worship the ancestors, it is natural to open the ancestral hall.

Xie Liujin took the initiative to bring his children and grandchildren over without any effort from Xie Xiuwen.

Xie Liujin vaguely knew something about Grandma Xie's suppression of Xie Xiuwen, but not much. His son mentioned it in the correspondence with him, reminding him to help him secretly, and Xie Xiuwen must not be allowed to stand out.

But who would have thought that Xie Xiuwen won honor for his ancestors when he arrived, and now he came back as the second place in the list.

That's someone who has shown his face in front of the Holy Master, and he will be able to get a sixth-rank official position after the exam, which is higher than the rank of the county magistrate!
In front of the whole clan, Xie Xiuning's threat to lure Grandma Xie to suppress Xie Xiuwen was spread out, which naturally made everyone very angry.

Especially the old patriarch.

If it wasn't for Xie Xiuning's suppression, there might have been a Jinshi master in their clan three years ago!
Of course Xie Liujin didn't want to admit it, but regardless of whether he admitted it or not, there were a few letters to prove it, and Grandma Xie also directly named the two servants, Xie Liujin was at a loss for a while.

Everyone knows that Xie Xiuwen won the second place, and now he is an official from the sixth rank. There is no need for Xie Xiuwen to make any more fuss. He just needs to sit there and ask with a cold face, Xie Liujin's family The butler knelt down and recruited them honestly.

Although Xie Liujin didn't really take action to suppress Xie Xiuwen, he gave money to Grandma Xie a few times, and only after listening to Xie Xiuning's words.

Since Xie Xiuning was picked up by the capital, Xie Liujin had money in his hand, so he opened a shop in the county, bought a field, and became a rich man from a farmer.

With the property, Xie Liujin's family will naturally no longer worry about money, so they sent nearly 100 taels of silver to Grandma Xie.

The old patriarch was so angry that he suggested that according to the clan rules, in front of all the clansmen, he would be punished with six catties of punishment sticks and twenty, and then clean the ancestral hall for a year to make atonement.

As for the money that Xie Xiuning and Xie Liujin sent over earlier, since they were all laid out, and the victim was Xie Xiuwen himself, the old patriarch meant to give him all the money.

Xie Xiuwen shook his head and refused.

"Patriarch Grandpa, Village Chief Uncle, I, Xie Xiuwen, can't get the money. But I can't take it easy on them. In my opinion, it's better to directly charge it to the clan, let a few clan elders decide or buy some money. Sacrifice the fields, or support the outstanding nephews in the clan to study and take scientific examinations, or help the clansmen who are having a hard time."

Xie Xiuwen's proposal won the heart of the old patriarch.

That's great!

It shows that Xie Xiuwen is promising, and he has not forgotten the relatives of these ordinary people in his hometown.

After taking a sip of tea, Xie Xiuwen said again: "Brother Zhou's knowledge has improved a lot. If there is no accident, I will let him come back this winter to prepare for the county examination next year."

The village chief's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Xiuwen, is what you said true? Brother Zhou is really ready to end?"

Xie Xiuwen nodded: "Brother Zhou's knowledge is also very solid, but he has no experience and less knowledge. He also benefited a lot when I was in the academy. Let him try next year. After becoming a scholar, Uncle still wants to send him to the government school in the county to study for a few more years, study hard, don’t be impatient.”

"Okay! I listen to you!"

Xiezhou is the grandson of the village chief's family, now that he is expected to be a scholar next year, he is naturally very happy.

It's just that Xie Zhou didn't come back with him this time, Xie Xiuwen left him to study at home, and at the same time asked Wang Jinde to give him some advice.

There is a Xiezhou, and the others are naturally moved.

It's not that it's not good to study in a private school, it's just that Xie Xiuwen was selected as a scholar at the age of 16. He also had a reputation as a child prodigy back then, and now he has won the second place. If he can give him some advice, he must have a bright future.

Xie Xiuwen saw everyone's eager eyes and knew what they were thinking.

"When Xiezhou comes back next year, the family can choose two or three children who have solid academic performance and talent for reading, and I will take them with me for two or three years."
