A Thousand Hills

Chapter 304

Xie Moru is sure that Xie Shangshu really loves Emperor Xue, knowing that she doesn't like Emperor Xue, Xie Shangshu can praise Xue Shangshu full of praise, one can imagine this person's demeanor.

Xie Shangshu talked about the old things back then, Xie Moru said, "Grandpa, do you know who handed over Ning Guogong's legacy?"

Xie Shangshu shook his head, "I don't know." His position was really not high back then, most of these court secrets were out of reach.

Xie Moru didn't say much, and asked again, "Does grandfather know where my maternal grandfather and uncle are buried?"

Xie Shangshu sighed, "The son-in-law was buried with the Fusheng princess, but the name of the son-in-law was not written outside the mausoleum. As for your uncle, I don't know much about it." Let's live, no one has seen it.Let's say he's dead, and I haven't heard of any mourning letters.

Xie Moru asked, "Does the Marquis of Beichang know?" Compared with Xie Shangshu, the Marquis of Beichang was obviously more trusted by Emperor Mu Yuan.

Xie Shangshu hesitated again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, it is best not to mention your uncle's affairs for the time being. One thing has been going on for many years, and the other is that the timing is not right now." Xie Shangshu has been a minister for many years. , I still understand the likes and dislikes of Emperor Mu Yuan.Emperor Mu Yuan was willing to honor Princess Fusheng, but the other family really didn't like her.

Xie Moru understood, nodded slightly, and asked Xie Shangshu to have dinner together.

Xie Moru has always had dinner with the children, besides the children of Prince Min, there are Xie Shangshu's granddaughter Xie Mochun and great-granddaughter Xie Si'an. Daughter, it is decent to study in the palace, Xie Moru asked Xie Si'an to be Xie Mochun's companion, and the two of them went to study in the palace together.The children are very polite, the one who is called grandfather is called grandfather, and the one who is called great-grandfather.At Xie Shangshu's age, he was also happy to see the children, thinking that Xie Moru would teach the children well, and taught them well.Xie Shangshu was even happier when he saw some of his favorite side dishes during the banquet.

The Xie family has a rule of not talking when eating. Xie Moru changed this rule after marrying into the Prince of Fujian's mansion. She is more than happy to talk to the children during the meal. When something happened, he said, "Those who have studied with the grandson before will be overjoyed. When the sons grow up, they want to prepare something for the grandson."

Xie Moru smiled, "It's up to each of you. When you are ready, write a sign and send it together with the congratulatory gift at home. Don't send it alone, it's not very good-looking."

Saburo happily agreed, and said again, "There are many cousins ​​who will get married this year and next year, mother, then we will follow this rule."

Xie Moru gently reminded, "Your cousins ​​are good friends, but grandsons have different identities, so don't go beyond grandsons when giving gifts to other cousins."

Just talking like this, everyone had a meal happily.

After dinner and tea, Xie Shangshu got up to leave, Xie Moru saw him off, Xie Shangshu said, "It's cool in the evening, my lady stop."

Xie Moru shook his head and said, "If outsiders spread rumors about the jade seal again, grandparents will hear about it, and they must make a point or two for our family."

Xie Shangshu laughed, "It's only natural, it's not worthy of my empress' advice."

Xie Moru smiled, "Da Lang sent your great-grandfather off for me."

Xie Shangshu didn't refuse too much, Dalang sent Xie Shangshu to the door, and he inevitably asked about Yuxi on the way, Xie Shangshu is so old-fashioned, so he said a little bit, pointed Dalang a little bit, and said, "Your Highness is the eldest son, if If you hear it outside, you must sternly reprimand such nonsense."

Dalang has always been a dignified person, and he said seriously when he heard the words, "It's natural! How can someone spread such nonsense? When I was reading a book, it said that the thing disappeared since the end of Tang Dynasty. How could someone say Where is King Jingjiang? My father came back and couldn’t take it out, how should I explain it? Who spread this rumor, it’s so wicked.”

"Naturally, you are a sneaky villain." Xie Shangshu guessed that it must be related to the East Palace, but he dared not say it out loud. When he saw the second door, he quickly asked Da Lang not to send it away. Da Lang said, "Grandpa, why are you being so polite?" "The man took the lantern and sent Xie Shangshu all the way to the gate. After watching Xie Shangshu get on the sedan chair and go away, he went back to ask his mother about the Chuanguo Yuxi.

When Da Lang asked, the other younger siblings didn't know about it yet, and San Lang was the most quick-spoken, "Why didn't I know about the Jade Seal of the Kingdom?" General gossip in the imperial capital couldn't escape his ears!It's just that because he has to study in the palace on weekdays, Saburo's news is a little slow, and he can't help but know.

Princess Xinzhe, Xie Mochun, Xie Si'an and other girls were also there, Xie Moru didn't avoid the children, so he talked with the children, and explained clearly the interests and interests involved.Xie Moru said, "This kind of villain must be uneasy and well-intentioned. The Jade Seal handed down to the country is nothing compared to other things. If your father and king really got this thing, he would definitely hurry up and hand it back to your emperor's grandfather. He will not Keep it from me. Now I don't know about this matter, so it can be seen that some villains are uneasy and kind. If this rumor spreads all over the sky, everyone will think that your father got this thing from Jingjiang, and your father doesn't have it at all. If you haven’t got it yet, how can you explain it to the court? If he can’t get it out, he’s facing the villain’s mind, and he will continue to arrange it, even if he has to slander that your father and king have hidden it privately. It’s a capital offense to hide the imperial jade seal privately. There is no small matter in the world, as long as people have the heart, a small matter can often lead to a big event. When you meet ghosts and villains, you can create something out of nothing, just like the rumors about the jade seal of the country. You are all adults, and I will not hide this matter from you. If you hear someone say this outside, you must know that this is not a joke, it is a statement that will put our family to death! If anyone brings it up in front of you, you must not pretend to be deaf and dumb, you must refute it People go, you know?"

The children answered in unison.

Seeing the serious faces of the children, Xie Moru couldn't help but smile, "Don't be too nervous, there are still many things to experience in this life, and don't delay your studies because of this. It’s time to study. By the way, you’re grown up too, and I have something else to tell you.” As he spoke, he ordered Wisteria to take out a large, foot-long box, and Xie Moru said, “This year is thirteen, and next year is fourteen. You are all grown-ups. When you were young, it was not easy to distract you when you were studying, so you didn't have much contact with other common affairs. However, in recent years, farm rents have been collected, and New Year's ceremonies, you have also I know a little bit. Knowing a little bit is not the same as taking care of it yourself. Although there are many capable servants in the mansion, you don’t have to be ignorant of general affairs. I’ve given you a share. For the time being, each of you has a small village and a shop. You also feel that when you take care of your property, you must know what you are doing, so that you will not be deceived in the future."

Da Lang hesitated, "Mom, this is our family's property..." We can't separate the family!As the eldest brother, Da Lang thinks far away when he thinks about it.

Xie Moru smiled, "How about the family property, you are also members of the family. Don't shirk it, Dalang Erlang Saburo, you brothers, each of you has a two thousand mu farm and a big shop. Silang Wulang Xin sister Liulang, you are young, and you each share a small shop in a village of [-] mu."

Da Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and San Lang smirked, "Brother thinks mother is going to divide the family for us."

Da Lang glared at the talkative younger brother, "I'm worried that it won't be well taken care of." At home, Da Lang still has a few farms, shops, and so on. In recent years, his father was not at home, and his mother asked his brothers to help with cooking, so , Dalang has a little idea of ​​the family's real estate.He felt that since his father was about to go home, it would not be good if his mother gave them a share.Seeing that it was all given to their little Zhuangzi, Da Lang felt relieved.

Da Lang said, "The sixth brother is the youngest, the sixth brother will be chosen first."

Liu Lang is also very brotherly, saying, "The eldest brother is the eldest brother, the eldest brother will choose first."

Dalang and Liulang were still imitating Kong Rong to be courteous to each other. Sanlang and Sister Xin went to see the wisteria and asked, "Mother, which one is the big one and which one is the young one?"

Xie Moru smiled, "The gold-painted box is yours, and the ones without gold-painted boxes are for Sister Xin and the others."

San Lang said, "Brother, don't let it go, it's not the same at all. I'm young, so I'll take it first." San Lang is a very thoughtful person, so he reached out and took one, and when he was ready, he went to visit his small village. This is his first private property, he is still quite precious.

Sister Xin is a girl, and she has always been favored at home, so she was not polite, and said, "Girls are preferred." She took the one without the gold rim first.

After a while, the brothers and sisters were all finished, and Dalang Liulang went to get the rest.There was also a medium-sized carved box in the big box. Xie Moru took it and opened it. Inside were two stacked small boxes. He greeted Xie Mochun and Xie Si'an and said, "This is separated from my private room. A small village of [-] acres, you have also started to study, girls, and you must learn to manage the property. Keep it yourself." One per person.

Xie Mochun is not very old, but he is very sensible, said, "Big sister should leave it to the little highness and the princess."

Xie Moru smiled, "I will keep it if I give it to you."

San Lang said aside, "Auntie, just take it. This small village is just for you and Sister Si'an to learn to look at the books and calculate the accounts. The annual income is only a few hundred. Besides, my mother has a lot of private houses. , This is just a drop in the bucket." Sanlang felt that his mother would cost thousands of silver for any set of jewelry, and this bit of land was nothing, besides, it was his mother's private property, so he could give it to whoever he wanted~
Xie Mochun thanked Si'an and thanked them all.

Xie Moru has always been a generous person, the Zhuangzi in her hand is not bad, and there is also the property of the five princes when they divided the mansion, and the Zhuangtian is all the first-class fields from the Huangzhuang, just want to find a middle-class farmland It is not easy to obtain such a good field, and it is quite close to the imperial capital. There is no market for ten taels of silver per mu, and no one is willing to sell it.Even the shops, the locations are all good locations, either for rent, or to send servants out to do business, it doesn't matter.

Xie Moru was so generous, the four side concubines in the mansion heard about it, and they all made needlework or soup to express their filial piety to Xie Moru, and at the same time they urged their children to be respectful and filial to their aunt.Whose mother-in-law can be so generous? If she makes a move, she will get a thousand acres of fertile land. Let the children practice their hands. If the dowries they each enter the mansion are converted into silver, they may not be worth a two thousand acres of farmland. .The side concubines were also born as daughters-in-law when they were in their natal family, mainly because their natal family was inferior to the Xie family's Shangshu mansion, so they became concubine rooms, but when they were in their natal family, they also learned the skills of housekeepers. Princess Xie is so generous, they Naturally, I have to teach the children a thing or two, how to manage the farm, how not to be tricked by the head of the village, and how to check the accounts are all knowledge.Of course, there are also some people who think about sending their dowry housekeepers to help their children. They have been concubines for many years and know Xie Moru's temper very well. In the end, they didn't dare to send people rashly, fearing that Xie Moru would not be offended. Yue, after all this shop was given to the children by Xie Moru, there must be manpower arranged inside, so he didn't dare to move it lightly for a while.

Xie Moru nodded slightly after knowing it: It's quite interesting.
