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

The county magistrate shook his head. He didn't know the specific situation, but since he took over two cases last year, both of which were related to the Xie family, he asked someone to inquire briefly. If it was said that the brothers were at odds, it didn't seem to be that serious. , at least the news he got was not that serious.

"It should be due to the partiality of the parents. I heard that Xie's parents value the eldest son the most, but it is a pity that the eldest son is not successful. Among the three sons, only Xie Xiuwen was selected as a scholar. However, Xie Xiuwen failed twice in a row, and Xie's mother refused. He studied again, and then became a teacher, until last year, he had the opportunity to study in Mingshan Academy again."

Cao Xin shook his head, thinking that this woman really had short-sightedness.

"How old is Xie Xiuwen?"

"You're not that old, maybe 24 or [-]."

After the county magistrate finished speaking, he said again: "He only got this girl under his knees. I heard that he had a bad quarrel with Xie's mother because of taking a concubine, so the case was settled because of this. Xie Xiuwen has repeatedly stated that he has no intention of taking a concubine. , even if he only has one daughter, he is unwilling to let his wife down, which makes Xie's mother very unhappy."

Cao Xin and the county magistrate drank slowly, and also took this opportunity to learn more about Xie Xiuwen.

For example, he married the daughter of his mentor, and the two grew up together since they were young, which can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.

Xie Xiuwen didn't want to take a concubine, not only because he respected his wife, but also because he didn't care about beauty.

In this way, it is a usable material!
When Cao Xin went south this time, he naturally left Beijing with a secret order.

He was already planning related matters, and if he could get the help of Mingshan students again, he would be able to benefit when the public opinion broke out.

But in the blink of an eye, Cao Xin already had an idea in his mind.

Later, when the county magistrate said that the relationship between Xie Xiuwen and Wang Hanlin was unusual, and he also told about Xie Rongzhao's captivity, Cao Xin became more and more excited.

If this Xie Xiuwen has a good relationship with Wang Hanlin, it means that he most likely fell into the eyes of Mr. Xu.

Cao Xin gave his wife a wink, and Lin Yueniang understood, so she smiled and sent someone to call that Xie Rongzhao over to say a few words.

Soon, Cheng Jingzhou came in holding Xie Rongzhao's hand.

Although the other party mentioned the county magistrate, Cheng Jingzhou was still worried. What if someone pretended to be the county magistrate?

After entering, the two of them finished their salutes and stood there waiting for instructions.

Cao Xin saw that the two of them were not in a hurry, even a little girl can be so calm, it is really likable.

"Are you Xie Xiucai's only daughter, Sister Zhao?"

Xie Rongzhao raised his face and nodded: "Yes, the two new dishes just now were given by Uncle?"

Cao Xin saw that she didn't recognize her birth, so he called himself uncle, and said with a smile: "Exactly, I just heard that you are a birthday star, so I sent someone to send you two dishes, do you still like it?"

Xie Rongzhao smiled brightly: "I like it, thank you Uncle."

Cao Xin chuckled twice, Lin Yueniang called her to come closer, and looked her up and down, the little girl should be wearing new clothes today, not silk or satin, but ordinary muslin, but the color is well chosen, and the clothes are carefully made , the cuffs are still embroidered, and there are only two red hairbands on the head, no extra accessories.

"The little girl is so beautiful, your mother must be a great beauty!"

Xie Rongzhao smiled so much that both eyes rolled up: "Thank you for this beautiful aunt, my mother is indeed pretty, but my father is even more beautiful."

What he said made everyone in the room laugh.

Cheng Jingzhou forcibly pursed the corners of his lips, and then thought of pulling him back.

Xie Rongzhao felt that his little hand was being held again, so he tilted his head to look at him, "Brother Jing Zhou is also pretty!"

This time, Cheng Jingzhou's ears turned red.

Several other adults also laughed more heartily.

Tongyan Tongyu is the most sincere, and it is more enjoyable to listen to.

"The little girl can talk, and she's also pleasing to look at, so her popularity will definitely not be bad in the future."

How can Xie Rongzhao not know why these adults laugh?
She just roughly guessed that the people who can eat with the county magistrate and his wife must not be ordinary people, so she just wanted to make a good impression in front of them, maybe in the future there will be times when they need help from others.

Cheng Jingzhou pulled Xie Rongzhao out, and Xie Rongzhao was holding a beautiful step shaker in the other hand, he was in a daze, as if he didn't react.

"Brother Jingzhou, why did that beautiful aunt give me this?"

Cheng Jingzhou patted her head: "Didn't I say it, today is your birthday party, it just happened to meet, and it's because of fate with you, so I send this step to you."

This lady took it off her head.

Most women use hairpins or hairpins to style their hair. Bu Yao usually puts hairpins in after the hair is pulled up, just for a good-looking look, or to look more luxurious with clothes.

And ordinary people can't afford to wear this step.

The Bu Yao given by Lin Yueniang seems to be made of silver, but there are two pearls inlaid on the Bu Yao, and the tassels underneath are all made of small silver beads. Such a small place can do it.

Women in ordinary families generally buy hairpins and rings, mainly hairpins and hairpins, which do not affect their work.

Wearing Bu Yao, he must be from a wealthy family, and he probably doesn't even need to do some needlework.

Cheng Jingzhou helped her put away the walking stick, and signaled her not to talk too much outside, and she could dispose of it after returning home.

"Then I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and give this Bu Yao to my aunt?"

Cheng Jingzhou thought that now Auntie no longer needs to do those tedious housework, and if Auntie is in high school in the future, Auntie will indeed need some things to decorate the appearance.

"You can give it as a gift, but don't wear it on your hair at home, lest your grandma and your uncle will be jealous again."

Xie Rongzhao thought so deeply.

As far as the current Xie family is concerned, they really have to be on guard everywhere.

It seems that nothing happened, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.

Especially after this Xie Ronglan came back, she came here every day to greet her mother, making it seem like the Xie family was a wealthy family, she was really not used to it.

Xie Rongzhao couldn't help thinking maliciously, if Xie Ronglan was asked to do some housework every day or go out to hunt pigweed and pick fungi, wouldn't she have so much leisure time?

The birthday party was over, Xie Rongzhao was taken home by Cheng Jingzhou to have a rest, thinking of sending her back later, Xie Rongzhao had just fallen asleep here, and Mrs. Cheng brought someone over there.

"Sanlang, your grandmother called you to go, is my baby asleep? If not, then take her along."
