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

What Zhao Heng said about watching a play was really just watching a play, but it was not the kind of play performed by the troupe that adults like to watch, but the shadow puppet show that children especially like.

As soon as Xie Rongzhao agreed, Zhao Heng took her hand and walked out without seeing anyone.

Although Zhao Heng is two years younger than Xie Rongzhao, Zhao Heng is not at all shorter than Xie Rongzhao. Perhaps it is because he was born in a wealthy family and he ate better since he was a child.

Zhao Yue has no prostitutes, only a few prostitutes.

Zhao Yue's wife, Mrs. Gao, treats people leniently and is not harsh on the concubines and concubines in the mansion, so the atmosphere in the backyard of the prince is still very harmonious.

"This is my second sister, one year older than me. Sister Zhao Zhao, who is older?"

Zhao Ying hurriedly came over and said, "Sister Zhao Zhao, I'm Zhao Ying. I received a gift from you earlier, but I haven't had a chance to thank you in person."

Xie Rongzhao also returned the gift: "I am seven years old, since you call me sister, you must be younger than me."

Zhao Ying smiled and said, "I'm six years old. Brother Heng brought you here to watch a shadow puppet show together? Let's go, the best seats are reserved."

Today is Zhao Heng's birthday, and he is naturally the oldest among a group of children.

The table at the front was naturally reserved for him.

Originally, Zhao Yue had mentioned that Xie Rongzhao would come to the Hou Mansion to learn some courses from the female gentleman, besides etiquette and rules, it was piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Xie Xiuwen felt it was inappropriate, so he pushed it away.

Xie Rongzhao herself doesn't like being locked up all day long, not to mention that she knows herself, her father is just a small official now, and a family like the Hou's Mansion is not something ordinary people can afford.

Although Xie Rongzhao didn't come to the Hou Mansion to follow her, but usually Gu Shi would teach her the rules at home, and from the ordinary little things, it can be seen that Gu Shi used to work in Gaomen.

After Xie Rongzhao and Zhao Ying got acquainted, the two girls chatted a lot, and when Liu Ruolan left, Zhao Ying still felt a little bit reluctant to part with her sister.

In the evening, Liu Ruolan discussed with Xie Xiuwen that it was time to hire a female husband for Guaibao.

"I've inquired. The female gentlemen in the Hou's mansion are either female officials from the palace or eminent Confucians. Not all the girls who attend classes there are girls from the Hou's mansion. I heard that there are also children from relatives. , there are several Miss Cousin and Miss Tang, I don’t think it’s suitable for us to go there.”

This matter has been mentioned before, Xie Xiuwen is naturally unwilling to let his daughter go outside to be wronged.

Those daughters who come from famous families think highly of themselves. If she really goes, even if they don't bully her, the atmosphere will definitely not be good. It's just that the difference in dress is huge, and it is easy to hurt the child. self-esteem.

"I've been paying attention to this matter. I heard that there lived a female gentleman in the west of the city. Her father was born in Juren, and her husband was also a talented man. It's just that the family was unlucky. Her husband passed away, leaving only their orphans and widows. I used to teach some girls from merchants before, but now I am at home."

Liu Ruolan's eyes brightened slightly: "How is that lady's character?"

"Shang Ke. Her husband's family name is Wang, so people call her Mrs. Wang. She has a son and a daughter. The daughter is already married, and the son is studying in the academy and usually doesn't come back very often."

"If it can be done, should we send our baby there, or her?"

Xie Xiuwen doesn't care about other people's affairs, but he pays close attention to his own daughter's affairs.

"Of course, let her come here every day. If she wants, she can also stay in our house. This is more convenient. But her piano skills are average, but her painting skills are very famous."

"Then ask someone to inquire again. As long as the character is good, we will invite him to the house. It's just that I don't know how much dowry this Mrs. Wang wants."

"Not too much, ten taels of silver a month is enough."

Liu Ruolan was relieved to hear that, now that they have their own property in the capital, they earn money every day, ten taels of silver is really nothing.

Apart from monthly salary, Xie Xiuwen now also has Lumi.

It's just that Lumi is generally issued at the end of the year, and the amount is issued for one year at a time.

Don't look at Xie Xiuwen's mention of ten taels of silver as if it was flimsy, but in fact, he doesn't even have a monthly salary of six taels of silver. With his little salary, he really can't afford to support so many servants.

Before the female husband's matter was settled, Xie Xiuwen received a letter from Mr. Xie's family first.

After reading the letter, Xie Xiuwen's brows were knit together, and he was so angry that he punched the desk.

"No reason!"

Xie Xiuwen sat alone with Xie Lin because he wanted to invite a female husband.

"Brother Zicheng, what do you need my little brother to help with?"

Xie Xiuwen nodded, then shook his head, and pushed a few letters over.

Xie Lin was a little puzzled for a while, but he opened it in front of him and read it carefully.

The content on it was really surprising, and what surprised Xie Lin even more was that the handwriting was very familiar to him, and it belonged to his good cousin Xie Lin.

"Brother Zicheng, this?"

"Brother, don't be surprised, it's all true, and I also dealt with this matter when I went back to my hometown to worship my ancestors. The patriarch punished Xie Liujin in front of the whole clan, oh, that's Xie Chen It’s just that I, Gaoyang Xie, don’t want to make more troubles, so I didn’t report this matter to the Yamen, otherwise…”

Otherwise, things would not have ended so well.

Xie Lin frowned. He had known that Xie Chen's temper was a bit sinister, but he never thought that he could be so harmful.

It is really infuriating that Xie Xiuwen can come up with such a trick just to prevent Xie Xiuwen from showing up.

"Brother Zicheng, forgive me. I really don't know about this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely report this matter to the elders in the family and give Brother Zicheng an explanation."

Xie Xiuwen raised his hand, signaling him not to worry.

"To tell you the truth, brother, I didn't intend to pursue this matter any further. After all, this is the capital city, and Xie Chen is your cousin. I, Xie Xiuwen, have just arrived here, and my foundation is shallow. I don't know how to beat myself with a pebble. Xie Chen actually sent someone back to my hometown to pick things up, which is really irritating."

Xie Lin was slightly surprised, apparently he did not expect that Xie Chen would dare to attack Xie Xiuwen.

"Xie Chen sent someone to Gaoyang County a few days ago. He even promised a huge profit to my ex-sister-in-law Gao, and then tried to get my two nieces to join me in Beijing. My brother doesn't know about the trivial matters in my family. She once tried to murder my wife, and almost sold my daughter. It was because of her evil deeds that my elder brother divorced her.

But I never expected that Xie Chen would find her, sow discord between our uncles and nephews, and even secretly arrange for two nieces to come to Beijing.If I hadn't received my third brother's family letter yesterday, I'm afraid my reputation, Xie Xiuwen, will be ruined by then, and I will end up with the reputation of being cold-blooded and heartless!
