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

The old man didn't take Xie Ronglang seriously at all, even if Xie Xiuwen mentioned Xie Ronglang's intelligence and so on in his letter, he didn't care.

What the old man cares about is that since they are not the flesh and blood of their family, there is no need to worry about it at all.

A poor child without a father and mother should be grateful to his adoptive parents for their kindness if he has enough to eat and drink. How dare he even think about thanking his family's property?
That's right!

From the beginning to the end, the old man believed that Xie Ronghui should inherit Xie Xiuwen's family business in the future.

So what if the boss did something wrong to Xie Xiuwen back then?
After all, they are brothers, and Xie Ronghui is his grandson.

A Xie Ronglang, hehe, he is just a wild child that no one wants, how can he be worthy of inheriting their Xie family's family business?

The old man thought very well, but he never considered that Xie Xiuwen has been away from home for several years, whether his old bones can still influence his son's thoughts?
Moreover, several elders in the clan all testified and stated that Xie Xiuwen's family business will not be inherited by Xie Ronghui in the future. Just for this, the old man has nothing to do with Xie Xiuwen.

But the old man is not in a hurry.

There is plenty of time.

Now that Xie Ronghui has been selected as a scholar, and he will become an official in the future, not only can father and son work together in the court, but with such a promising eldest son, Xie Xiuwen will definitely not give his family fortune to an outsider.

Along with the letter, there was also a gift list, which Xie Xiuwen copied on purpose, just to let the old father and Xie Xiuran see if he had treated the eldest son Xie Ronghui badly.

Xie Xiuran saw the long list of gifts, this is just a small fixed gift, and there will be a betrothal gift after autumn, at least 1000 taels of silver will be consumed.

Xie Xiuran was deeply moved, this younger brother is indeed reliable, if it were him, he would definitely not treat his nephew so kindly.

Of course, Xie Xiuran also thought that if he relied on his own ability, let alone preparing such a generous betrothal gift, he would not be able to get into this kind of marriage.

Sure enough, if his son is adopted under Xie Xiuwen's name, he will only go further.

Along with the letter, there is also a recent article by Xie Rongche and the others, which he said was for the old man to read, and he knew it well.

Xie Xiuran once again lamented his incompetence.

Now that I think about it, my father was right.

If they want to get up again in this room, they still have to rely on their second child.

Now the second child is already an official of the fourth grade. This is really a proper official of the imperial court. Every year and festival, even the county magistrate will send it to the festival, and he will send it in person. From this, it can be seen that , How high is their family's status in Gaoyang County now.

Now the old house of Xie's family has been covered again. The original three-entry yard is now four-entry, and there is also an east-span courtyard and a west-span courtyard, which means there are more people in the family to look after the courtyard.

Looking at the mansion, Xie Xiuran felt that the bricks and tiles inside seemed to have nothing to do with him.

The third child doesn't go to the county every day, after all, it's Liu Ruolan's dowry in name, so he can't participate too much, and Liu Erlang doesn't go to the shop anymore.

The Liu family bought a few dead-deed servants for the master, who were in charge of the store. During this year, Xie Lao San almost only had to go there every month to go through the motions, and then look through the account books, and he could get ten dollars a month. There are two silver coins left, not to mention that there are other benefits during the New Year's Eve.

Since Xie Ronghui was picked up, the Liu family has taken charge of Liu Ruolan, and every year's prosperity in the farm is sent to Xie's family to be disposed of by Xie Lao San.

Xie Xiuwen once wrote a letter to Xie Laosan, asking him to keep [-]% for himself, and hand over the remaining [-]% to the public, so as to save the old lady from being a monster again in the future, and the third room gets nothing from exhaustion.

Xie Laosan originally thought that they would all be handed over to the public school. After all, they did not have a separate family, and they all ate and lived together.

But thinking about my partial mother, I still chose to listen to my second brother.Now the head of the family is Mr. Xie, and the family's money, house, land, deeds, etc. are now locked in the hands of the old man.

Xie Xiuwen couldn't come back, so every year he would send over the future of the farm, and the shop would send over 100 taels of silver every year, just as his filial piety.

Now the old man has looked away, knowing that the family still has to rely on the second child. The third child is filial, and is down-to-earth and hard-working. He is better than the eldest brother, so he usually shows favoritism to the third child and his family. Even if Xie Xiuran has an opinion I can only hold it in.

After all, he only had two daughters now, so he really didn't dare to be a monster anymore.

Xie Ronghui's marriage was settled, and the old man was happy, so he had to drink a few more glasses.

Xie Ronglan and Xie Rongrong pieced together things and finally figured it out.

The two sisters huddled in the room and complained in a low voice: "Second uncle is really eccentric. The elder brothers can be taken to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, but they don't want to care about us. Now we are both at the age of marriage, but look at the house. Is there anyone willing to take care of it for us?"

Although Xie Rongrong is getting older, her heart is not growing. Compared with her elder brother's marriage to an official daughter, she only feels that she is a poor little boy that no one wants.

"Then what can we do? We are a daughter's family, and now that we are old, we can only wait for our parents' orders. Besides, the second uncle doesn't want to see us, and we won't get any good fruit if we go."

Xie Rongrong was quite clear on this point.

Xie Ronglan snorted and said angrily: "How did you know? The second uncle is now an official. If we look for him, he can still kick us out? His reputation is gone?"

Xie Rongrong shrank her neck, not daring to say anything.

Thinking about what happened a few years ago, Xie Rongrong really didn't dare to think about sneaking away again.

Xie Ronglan is fifteen this year, and the family has talked about several marriages, but she is not happy.

She is the niece of a high official in the imperial court, how can those peasants be worthy of her?
A while ago, she went to pay her respects to the old lady, and accidentally learned that the old lady was planning to tell her about a marriage in a county. However, the other party was a merchant, and the family had enough money to live a comfortable life. But don't think of any other future.

If it is put aside, Xie Ronglan is naturally willing.

As long as there is money to spend, it doesn't matter to anyone.

But now she has figured it out, how can a merchant be compared with an official with a low status?

Not to mention anything else, even the top nine poor men in the county are more respectable than some small merchants.

Xie Ronglan didn't want to, so she cried and fussed in front of the old lady, which finally gave the old lady a rest.

It's just that there are two things in this kind of thing. When she reaches her age, if she doesn't get married, she will be gossiped.

Xie Ronglan used the excuse to go to the village chief's house to talk to her aunt, and she was still holding a sewing basket in her hand. Otherwise, she would not even be able to get out of the second door of the house.

"Ah, why don't you look at the road!" Xie Ronglan was annoyed immediately after being hit.

The visitor was dressed in a long gown, and when he saw this, he hurriedly bowed: "So it's Sister Lan, it's Brother who is being abrupt."

Xie Ronglan's eyes were suspicious: "Do you recognize me? Who are you?"
