209 Three Years
The official position in this matter is not high, but the problem is that Xie Xiuwen has jumped from a sixth-rank editor to a fifth-rank official, which is equivalent to being promoted to three levels in a row!

In the Dazhi Dynasty, there were not many officials who could be promoted to three ranks in a row.

Either the royal relatives of the family can have this opportunity, or they are protected by the ancestors, for example, when the parents or ancestors have made great achievements and there is nothing to reward, they will make an exception to support their family descendants.

It was the first time in the past 20 years that someone like Xie Xiuwen, who had no foundation or background in the capital, was so valued by the Holy One all of a sudden.

The grade of this position is not high, but the advantage is that you can always accompany the holy driver.

In other words, even if you are a marginal official of the fourth rank, you are not as good as the fifth rank official who can often hang around in front of the imperial court.

To be able to drive in front of the imperial court is to have the opportunity to speak out, to show one's talents, and to be reused.

Therefore, the gentlemen of the Xie family on Anhe Street can be said to have lost their temper.

Who would have thought that Xie Xiuwen, whom they had always looked down upon, would have such a blessing.

Xie Rongzhao didn't know whether it was a big or small official in the matter, but from the joy of everyone, it could be seen that his father had been promoted.

Now it's spring, Xie Xiuwen has also rested, and with a wave of his hand, he decides that the whole family will go to Fuyuan Villa to visit some scholars.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and it has been three years in a flash.

Xie Ronghui was selected as a scholar last year, but because of his limited qualifications, he only studied at Mingshan Academy for half a year, so he was picked up by Xie Xiuwen to the capital last month.

After all, he is the eldest son under his name, so it's not good to keep ignoring him.

Last year, Xiezhou was also selected as a scholar, and now he is studying in the county school. Cheng Xue is watching, and Xie's family is also relieved.

Of course, what made Gaoyang county magistrate even more happy was that there was 13-year-old Cheng Jingzhou, which was also a great joy for Gaoyang county.

After all, the 13-year-old Xiucai Lang, and he is still a junior, can be said to have given the place a lot of face.

To the county magistrate, this is also his merit.

The smile on Cheng Xuezheng's face also grew day by day. He was worried that his son would be affected by family affairs a few years ago, so he had to send his son away to the capital.

A young scholar, he became famous in one fell swoop.

After Cheng Jingzhou became a scholar, he entered Mingshan Academy to study. When Xu Yuanqing learned that he was Xie Xiuwen's future son-in-law, he was naturally willing to take care of him a little bit more. Cheng Jingzhou also relied on his thick skin to call Shanzhang: Master!

The Liu family is also rich in money now, so they simply sent Liu Dalang, who was a scholar, to Mingshan Academy, so that the two young men still have a companion.

Liu Dalang felt that if he was able to study with Cheng Jingzhou, he would definitely be honored, because he knew very well that he was far less talented than this future brother-in-law in terms of reading and learning.

Today is the day when Xie Ronghui arrived in Beijing. A few years later, Liu Ruolan's hatred for the Gao family has not disappeared, but her grudge against Xie Ronghui, the "eldest son", is not so obvious.

Now she has both sons and daughters, her son studies hard and studies hard, and her daughter is well-behaved, sensible and filial, she is very content.

"Aniang, you have come to Baohui Courtyard three times, what are you worrying about? Look, no matter whether it is servants or decorations, everything is not neglected, so you can sit in the room and wait for the eldest brother to come back." Kowtow to you."

Xie Rongzhao is already eleven this year, she is much taller, her arms and legs are also much slender, but there is still a bit of baby fat on her face, when the elders see her, they all think that this child is blessed.

"Baby, you haven't seen Brother Hui for four years, right?"

"Well, my eldest brother has been selected as a scholar, and he will study hard for the Juren exam in the future. It's just that I don't understand why my father asked him to come to the capital to study? Is Mingshan Academy not good?"

Liu Ruolan sighed, she also just found out about this matter.

"I heard from your father that this child has something in his heart and his temper is a bit depressed. Perhaps because of his life experience, he always has a bit of inferiority complex, and your father has never met him in the past few years, and only once a month. Letters keep coming, but these outsiders can't see them. I'm afraid they said something unpleasant in his ear, which made the child depressed. Received from Jingzhong to take care of him."

In fact, there is another reason. Xie Ronghui and Liu Dalang are the same age, and now they are 16 years old, so it is time to see him.

I hadn't thought about this before, it was because I wanted him to get a good name in the exam, so this marriage was a good one.

Now that he has been selected as a scholar, the marriage should also be put on the agenda.

Grandpa Xie's meaning is very simple, now that Xie Xiuwen has become a Beijing official, and Xie Ronghui has also been selected as a scholar, if he can marry a woman from an official family in Beijing, then he can elevate his status.

In short, I just don't want Xie Ronghui to marry a country woman again.

Neither Xie Xiuwen nor Liu Ruolan had any objections to this.

Although Xie Xiuwen is still a member of the fifth rank, no one in Beijing dare to underestimate him.

Apart from winning the trust of His Majesty, who doesn't know that Xie Xiuwen has a great relationship with Weixin Houhui and Dingguo Duke's Mansion?
Therefore, if his eldest son wants to marry a wife, it is still very easy to ask for an official woman.

Xie Xiuwen is still on duty in the palace and will not be able to return until evening.

Originally, Xie Ronglang and Xie Rongen were both in Fuyuan Villa. In recent years, Xie Rongen has also been pressured by Xie Xiuwen to read a lot of books. Although he failed in the test of merit, at least he has practiced his calligraphy well.

Because Xie Ronghui was coming back today, Liu Ruolan sent someone to bring them back two days ago. Besides the two of them, there was also Xie Kuan, a family member sent by the Xie clan last year, and Xie Rongen's own brother. Xie Rongche.

Xie Kuan is the great-grandson of the old patriarch's family. He is of the same generation as Xie Ronglang in Xiezhou, and is two years older than Xie Ronglang. Since he came, Xie Ronglang finally feels companionship again.

On the other side, on the official road leading to the capital, an unremarkable carriage was running eagerly.

Sitting in the carriage was a middle-aged man who was driving, and a young man in a brown coat.

"My lord, we will be able to arrive in Beijing in two miles. You prepare your identity papers, and take out the Sanshun's as well. They will be used when entering the city."

Xie Ronghui was still a little dazed at this moment, his hands on his knees were slightly curled up, and a look of uneasiness flashed across his face, which showed that there was a little bit of uneasiness in his heart at this time.

Xie Ronghui already knew what his biological parents did to this second uncle back then. He didn't know if his second uncle and aunt would speak ill of him when he saw him again, or if they would be as indifferent as frost.

In the bottom of his heart, he felt that the second uncle, uh, should be because his father still had feelings for him, otherwise he wouldn't have persisted in writing dozens of letters with him for so many years, and taught him how to write articles.

Without his teaching, if I want to be a scholar, I'm afraid it will take another two years.

"My lord, we have arrived at the gate of the city. We have to line up to enter the city, and we have to ask you to come down to check your identity."
