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

Chapter 217

Liu Ruolan is indeed just a talented daughter, compared with these noble ladies in the capital, her status is indeed not enough.

But she married a good man and gave birth to a good daughter!

Both Xie Xiuwen and Xie Rongzhao have physiques that attract the attention of nobles, and because of this, Liu Ruolan is very popular with several noble ladies, even the wife of the eldest son of Weihou Mansion, who also sends people over to invite her to the banquet from time to time Flower viewing.

Just because of this, no one dared to underestimate Liu Ruolan.

But Xie Fang was not convinced in her heart.

She really felt that she was born noble, at least much nobler than that Xie Rongzhao.

But what about in practice?

Mrs. Zhang sighed, pulled her daughter to sit down, and persuaded her: "Don't always be against her. Strictly speaking, your status is lower. No matter how vulgar Xie Rongzhao's mother is, she has a good Father. What about you? Your biological father passed away before he had obtained the honor, and now we are all living in Xie's house under the protection of your grandfather, why can't you see clearly?"

Xie Fang cried very sadly.

She is unwilling to accept this fact, but she also knows that no matter whether she accepts it or not, she has no way to choose her origin.

She hated Xie Rongzhao's good luck, hated Zhao Ying for being willing to associate with a girl from the countryside, and even hated her biological father, why did she die of illness early?
Xie Fang's temperament is selfish, but if she fails to get what she wants, it will be the fault of others.

Zhang's coaxing and scaring finally made Xie Fang bow her head and admit her mistake, but she knew very well that this matter would definitely not stop here, and she was afraid that her mother-in-law would still have to intervene.

Sure enough, when I went to pay her respects in the next few days, my mother-in-law's expression was not good, and she even ordered Xie Fang's feet to be restrained directly.

Xie Qing is the son of the Xie family, because he still has to study, so he was not implicated by this, but because of this matter, he also fell behind among the cousins ​​of the Xie family.

Schelling didn't want to think too badly of the children, but when something happened, you couldn't pretend that nothing happened.

He took his wife to Xie Xiuwen's house in person, and apologized to Xie Rongzhao instead of his niece.

Xie Xiuwen didn't really want Xie Lin to lower his figure, it mainly depends on their family's attitude.

The two left a few female relatives to go to the inner hall, and then went to the study to talk.

"I heard that Anhe Street plans to send another concubine into the palace?"

Seeing him mentioning this matter, Xie Lin just shook his head helplessly.

He is not from the same family, even if he belongs to the Xie clan in the capital city, he is not a direct descendant after all. In many matters, the resources in the clan will not be tilted towards their branch, and they will not even have the right to intervene.

"I heard my grandfather mention this matter. At the beginning, they sent a prostitute daughter into the palace. I didn't expect that after a few years, she didn't see much favor. Naturally, she couldn't seek greater benefits for the Xie family. I thought my grandfather Will stop thinking about it, never thought that he would come up with the idea of ​​sending another woman into the palace again."

Xie Xiuwen believed him.

Besides, this is a matter of the main family's direct line, it is normal for Xie Lin not to know about it.

"The Holy Majesty is now in his prime, and he is not too concerned about women's sex. I don't know why this Lord Xie is so persistent in this matter?"

Xie Lin shook his head again, he is not a roundworm in Xie Mingyi's stomach, how could he know this.

"Brother Zicheng, we Ming people don't speak dark words. Since a few years ago, I have been persuading my grandfather not to obey the direct lineage in everything. Although we are of the same clan, we have been separated for several generations. , is also made."

After all, Xie Lin also can't understand some of Xie Mingyi's flamboyant operations in recent years.

He is obviously from a scholarly family, and started as a literati, so why do he have to think about using female relatives to make a fortune?

"You have been staying in the Imperial Academy for a long time. This year, the Holy Majesty should make some moves. Do you have any Yamen you want to go to?"

Xie Lin was silent for a moment: "If possible, I would rather let it out."

Xie Xiuwen was a little surprised, who doesn't know how good the officials in Beijing are?
This Xie Lin is a sword lover.

"Wang Jin was released two years ago, and now he is only a seventh-rank county magistrate. If my brother is released, he will be at least a sixth-rank official."

"Hehe, let's talk about it. If there is no good place to go, I would rather stay in the Hanlin Academy, compiling books and copying history, which is quite good."

The errands of the Hanlin Academy are easy, at least there is no scrambling for success like the Six Departments.

"My father is now the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and it is considered meritorious to receive foreign envoys last year. Your Majesty remembers it."

Xie Lin understood his hint, as long as his father didn't make a big mistake, he could still go further after waiting two more years.

"Thank you, Brother Zicheng."

Xie Xiuwen didn't take Xie Fang seriously, but it was just because of the jealousy of the little girl in the inner house. Since Xie Yu has realized the seriousness of the matter, I think he will teach him well in the future.

Besides, Xie Rongzhao didn't suffer from Xie Fang, she was protected by several young masters, if others want to hurt her, it depends on whether their own weight is enough!

Xie Rongzhao didn't pay much attention to Xie Fang, knowing that she was grounded, he ignored her.

"Miss, everything is ready, shall we go to Ji Shan Tang now, or should we wait a little longer?"

There are Jishantangs on the east and west sides of the capital, and most of them are children.

Jishantang is actually run by the government. It mainly raises some martyrs, or some babies who have been abandoned here.

Xie Rongzhao and Zhao Ying made an appointment to go together to deliver things to Jishantang. Some gadgets that they usually don't use, old clothes of maids and servants, etc., can be brought to Jishantang.

Xie Rongzhao set off first, then went to Weixinhou's mansion to pick up Zhao Ying, and the two went straight to Jishantang with a group of servants.

Because there are mainly orphans here, most of the people who come here to take care of them are female relatives, some are criminal officials who were demoted here to do rough work, and some are the relatives of some subordinate staff who work here as small stewards.

It was not the first time that Xie Rongzhao and Zhao Ying had come here, the gatekeepers knew them.

"Miss Zhao, Miss Xie is here, please come inside."

The gatekeeper was an old man missing an arm, who was said to have also retired from the barracks.

Xie Rongzhao carried a food box, Chen Xia and the others also picked up the food box and walked in.

Every time Zhao Ying came here, her heart would be shocked, and this time was no exception.

"Sister Zhao, I asked the nanny here. Boys who are ten years old will be sent out to find work by themselves. Girls can be raised until they are 13 years old, and then they will marry if there is a suitable family. They have to find ways to make a living by themselves. How do you think they can support themselves?"

"I heard that people from the Xie Mansion on Anhe Street came here to pick girls, and I don't know how many were picked."

Zhao Ying's eyes changed slightly: "Could it be that she was chosen for Xie Chunhua to enter the palace?"
