Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 799
Xie Guangde glanced at the empty space next to the table, and remembered the smiling face that saluted him during the New Years and festivals. Ah Quan was right, he hated it when he saw it often, and missed it very much when he couldn't see it.

Outsiders are outsiders after all, family members are family members after all.

Xie Guangde did not answer Xie Li's question, but asked indifferently: "You said in your letter that he found a fiancée."

Seeing that Grandpa was willing to mention it, Xie Li nodded quickly: "Yes."

Xie Guangde asked lightly: "How does this girl look?"

"Very beautiful and moving."

Xie Guangde showed a disapproving expression: "Women should be dignified and virtuous, either they are beautiful or good, and beautiful women are vixen with a vicious heart."

"Don't worry, grandpa. I have been in contact with Heqing several times. Heqing is warm, reasonable and polite."

In Xie Li's mind, Xie Fu can't handle Grandpa, but He Qing must be able to handle it. In terms of human affection, He Qing is really hard to fault.

Xie Guangde was very skeptical of Xie Li's words, but such a woman liked him, and said indifferently: "Oh, it's called Heqing."

"Yes! His surname is Tantai and his name is Heqing. He is a well-known cloth merchant in Suzhou City."

Xie Guangde was surprised when he heard the words: "A daughter's family is a big cloth merchant in public."

Xie Li smiled and said: "Grandpa, don't be old-fashioned. In today's world, what men can do, women can also do. Speaking of which, Heqing is still a legendary woman..."

Talking about the story of Tantai Heqing's parents who lost their parents very early, and the story of raising the younger brother and growing up at a young age.

Xie Guangde was still a bit prejudiced against this woman at first, but after hearing this story, he immediately looked at her with admiration and praised: "It's really amazing that a little girl can do this, even a man...it's amazing!"

Xie Li also said with admiration: "Yes, she is amazing, she is a good woman."

Xie Guangde asked: "How could such an outstanding woman fall in love with that prodigal son?"

Xie Li smiled wryly, and he couldn't figure it out, but he just liked Fu, a prodigal son, and was infatuated with Fu, "I don't know about that."

Xie Guangde snorted coldly: "Should I be called Tantai Fu in the future?"

Xie Liha smiled: "That's not the case, but the Tantai Mansion is still in the hands of the younger siblings." He added tactfully, "Fu Guan can't control such a big family business."

Xie Guangde said with a tone of contempt for his grandson: "Don't talk about meddling, don't burn incense if you are defeated."

Xie Li could only smile and said: "Maybe this is the best." This family business is in the hands of Tantai Heqing, Fu will definitely have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, if it is in Fu's hands, he is really worried.

"It's not the luck of this bastard? Such shit luck."

Xie Li then said: "The ancestors have spirits to bless you."

"Yes, I usually tell you brothers to be pious to your ancestors..."

Xie Li took the opportunity to say: "Grandpa, Fu has always been thinking about returning to his clan."

Xie Guangde glanced at Xie Li and asked, "Does he think he still has the face to come back?"

Xie Li smiled wryly, not knowing what to say.

Xie Guangde sighed: "It's easy to get rid of the clan, but it might not be so easy to come back."

Generally, if one is expelled from the clan, he must have done something that cannot be tolerated by the entire clan. This is a very serious punishment.

To return to the clan is not up to Xie Guangde alone, it is to get the approval of the whole clan, which is not insignificant.

It is not an example of not being expelled from the clan and returning to the clan, but it is a case of making great achievements, becoming famous and being welcomed by the whole clan.

Maybe in the distant future, this bastard really became famous and returned to his family with honor, but maybe he couldn't see it.

Xie Li said softly: "What Fu mainly cares about is Grandpa's attitude."

Xie Guangde sighed: "You have nothing to do with whether he can return to the clan, he is my grandson connected by blood."

It is really difficult for the toughest grandpa to say such words, Xie Lixi said: "It is enough to have grandpa's words!"

Xie Guangde said softly again: "If you have a chance, come back and take a look, and bring that girl named Heqing along with you..."

He is getting old, time is running out, and he can't wait ten or eight years. If we don't see each other again, I'm afraid we won't see him again.

Xie Li replied: "I will tell Fu."

"Let's talk about this matter when we see him. There are more important things to do right now, and that is your marriage with Miss Gu's family."

Xie Li nodded, this can be regarded as a major event in his life.

Xie Guangde continued: "Gu Quan should arrive in Yangzhou soon. Seeing our family like this, I don't know how he will feel, so we must do a good job in front of him."

"First of all, clean the inside and outside of the mansion, repaint what needs to be repainted, and replace the old one with a new one, and replace it with a new one."

"Besides, the three of us in such a big mansion don't make sense. We'll hire some servants in a while to make the scene bigger..."

Xie Guangde arranged the arrangements enthusiastically, and never mentioned where to find money for doing so.

Xie Li knew it well, and Fu was also behind this matter.

That afternoon, the three of them started to get busy. Seeing Xie Guangde's lively appearance, Xie Li also secretly felt comforted in his heart. Finally, he saw the great events in his life during his grandfather's lifetime. This kind of happiness and joy cannot be used verbal description.

The next day, Uncle Quan temporarily hired a group of servants and maids. Uncle Quan kept an eye out and told these servants that if they did a good job, they could stay in the mansion for a long time.

In Quan Bo's mind, the eldest young master can be regarded as an official with an official position now, and the second young master married a lady from a wealthy family, and yesterday he sold such a large sum of money.

Now that the Xie family is considered rich and powerful, there is no shortage of what the Xie family should have.

Working in a rich family is an iron rice bowl with superior treatment. These temporarily hired servants and maids are really unable to enter a big family like the Xie Mansion in terms of quality.

So everyone was very excited after hearing Uncle Quan's promise.

Under Quan Bo's arrangement, the mansion was first cleaned inside and out.

Seeing the bleak mansion revitalized and busy, it felt like dusting off the old and welcoming the new year, Uncle Quan was extremely happy in his heart, his waist as the housekeeper of Xie's mansion seemed to be straightened.

A few days later, the entire Xie Mansion has taken on a completely new look and is ready to welcome distinguished guests.

Xie Guangde ordered people to open the gate early every morning, and arranged for his servants to stand by the gate to welcome Gu Quan's arrival at any time.

This morning, there was no honored guest, but an unexpected guest came.

It was the housekeeper of the Zhou residence who came, and the steward of the Zhou residence led a few people into the Xie residence directly.

Uncle Quan, who was carefully checking what was missing in Xie's residence, received the news and came quickly. When he saw that it was the housekeeper of Zhou's residence, he was slightly surprised, his face changed, and he thought to himself, it was really not the right time to come.

Speaking of which, the Xie family and the Zhou family have dealt with each other for many years, and most of the land sold by the Xie family was sold by the Zhou family.

Last time, in order to raise enough money to rebuild the Xie's ancestral hall, Xie Guangde sold off the last ancestral property of the Xie family, and the buyer was the Zhou family.

But there was still a big gap, so Xie Guangde borrowed a large sum of money from the Zhou family by using the entire Xie Mansion as a mortgage under the other party's lure.

In the past two years, the Zhou family has sent people to search for things at every turn, as interest.

Uncle Quan stepped forward and smiled apologetically, "Butler Zhou, why are you here?"

So the housekeeper of the Zhou family smiled and said: "Thank you, housekeeper, it's not the first time I've come back. You should know what I want to do."

Quan Bo smiled and nodded.

Steward Zhou glanced at the brand-new mansion, and saw that there were a few more maidservants in the mansion, and said with a smile: "It seems that your mansion is rich, did you forget to owe my master a large sum of money?"

Uncle Quan hurriedly apologized with a smile: "I haven't forgotten, I dare not forget."

Housekeeper Zhou smiled and said: "Since I haven't forgotten, well, let's pay back the money!" He said and took out the loan document that Xie Guangde personally signed.

The content of this mortgage document, in addition to the detailed record of the collateral, also has several notary signatures.

When Quan Bo saw this loan document, his expression was surprised, and he paused, "This..."

Butler Zhou smiled and said, "For such a big matter, Steward Xie, you definitely can't be the master. Please thank the old lady for coming over."

Quan Bo immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Butler Zhou, if you have something to say, please sit down in the lobby and talk."

Steward Zhou pushed Uncle Quan away mercilessly: "Without this trick, who wouldn't know that your Xie family owes my Zhou family a large sum of money, why? It's so secretive that outsiders don't know. "

A group of servants and maids hired by Uncle Quan immediately began to discuss in a low voice.

Uncle Quan's face suddenly became a little ugly. After all, this is the Xie Mansion, so he didn't give him any face at all, but in the end he was wronged, so he could only suppress his anger.

Butler Zhou said threateningly: "Thank you, butler, please thank the old lady. Otherwise, I will be polite."

Uncle Quan really couldn't decide this matter, so he had to report it to Xie Guangde.

Xie Guangde was lovingly touching the newly painted doors and windows when he heard Uncle Quan come panting: "Master, it's not good, people from the Zhou family are here."

Xie Guangde frowned, he didn't come at the right time, he had to send them away quickly, if Gu Quan bumped into him, it would be terrible.

"Ah Quan, the old rules, just say I'm sick, let them take whatever they want, and send them away quickly."

Every time the Zhou family came to visit, Xie Guangde, the majestic head of the Xie family, had to pretend to be sick.

"No, master, butler Zhou has also brought the loan documents this time, and he wants to find you by name."

Xie Guangde was surprised: "What do you mean?"

"This week the housekeeper didn't give me any face in front of everyone, I'm afraid this time it's going to be real, you have to come forward in person."

Xie Guangde pursed his lips deeply, and asked, "Ah Quan, how much money is left?"

Quan Bo was stunned: "What money?"

Xie Guangde reminded: "Wouldn't you be filial to your grandson and respect my money?"

Uncle Quan said, "Excluding the expenses of the past few days, there is still a lot left."

Xie Guangde said: "Take it all out, let's deal with it this time."

"it is good."

"By the way, don't let the young master know about this, I don't want him to worry about family affairs."
