There are more than 300 houses in the house, and the house given to him by Cheng Shijie is not even comparable to the courtyard of the Xie family's ancestral house.

As for the carved beams and paintings of the Xie family's ancestral home, you can't see them here at all. Even the house built by the Xie family on the farm is more luxurious than this house.

Xie Zongze's face became tense as soon as he entered the house. His old wife came out to greet him, as did his second son and daughter. He walked to the second hall, sat down, and began to change his clothes. His wife served him tea.

Xie Zongze was framed by Song Xiance. He did not react at the time, and he did react later, but the matter had reached this point and he could not undo it. However, the problem was that Song Xiance did more than he imagined.

Not only did he control him in Ninghai Prefecture, but later he was sent directly to Jinzhou Guards. He also took his wife, four concubines, three sons and two daughters, including his eldest grandson, daughter-in-law and 22 other people, and even his servants.

Jinzhouwei.

Under such circumstances, Xie Zongze had no choice but to cooperate. If he did not cooperate, his whole family would probably suffer.

"Where's Dalang?"

Xie Zongze's eldest son is named Xie Jinglin, his second son Xie Jingsen, and his younger son Xie Jingcai.

"Da Lang is studying!"

"Reading, reading, what's the use of reading!"

After Xie Zongze passed the imperial examination, he was supposed to go to Beijing to take the exam, and maybe he could be admitted to the Jinshi. However, his father died that year, so he had to observe the mourning system for three years. However, when he entered the examination room again, he was not as good as the last time. As the New Year passed,

In his forties, his utilitarianism has become much less ambitious.

I never imagined that I would first fall into the hands of bandits, then be framed, and now I would not even have the chance to participate in the imperial examination.

Xie Zongze's self-esteem was so high that he was already very aggrieved when he failed to pass the Jinshi examination, so he hoped that his son could study hard and get a background in manufacturing, so that he could feel proud in his clan and in front of others.

But now, even his son's path to the imperial examination has been cut off, and he feels even more aggrieved.

Xie Zongze's eldest son, Xie Jinglin, is actually dead. Xie Jinglin likes studying things and arithmetic, but doesn't like system studies. After passing the examination as a scholar at the age of fifteen, he took part in two provincial examinations. Later, he did not even take part in the provincial examinations because of his lack of talent and learning.

Even without this incident, Xie Jinglin would not have been able to pass the Jinshi examination because his heart was not focused on this. Xie Zongze's troubles were not limited to his son.

His eldest daughter, Xie Susu, had been smart and studious since she was a child. Originally, she was only taught basic reading materials such as the Classic of Filial Piety and the Rules for Women, but as a result, this girl became proficient in all the Nine Classics and Six Arts. Even Xie Zongze himself was somewhat

Jaw-dropping.

Everyone in Jinan knew that the Xie family had a talented girl. However, the status of the Xie family was very embarrassing. They were neither above nor below. Those with higher family status did not bother to propose to Mr. Xie, while those with lower family status were afraid of Xie's famous name.

She didn't dare to come to the house to ask for a hand in marriage, and she couldn't get the job she wanted. After a while, the eldest daughter turned into an old girl guarding the boudoir. She was already twenty-two years old this year, but she still couldn't leave the court. This was an almost shocking thing in this era.

Something happened. He was forcibly moved from Shandong to Jinzhou, and Xie Zongze became even more worried.

How could Ning Haijun have any talent that could impress Xie Zongze? Ma Shilin was very talented and learned, but his eldest son was already twelve years old, Lu Conglong and Qin Bocheng were already grandfathers, and Sun Benju was widowed, but how could Xie Zongze let his precious daughter

Going to fill someone's house?

At this moment, Xie Jinglin was holding a book and muttering as he walked, like a lunatic. He muttered: "No, no, this number is not calculated correctly..."

It wasn't until he almost met Xie Zongze that Xie Jinglin realized: "My child has seen his father!"

"If you have time to read more classics and history, what kind of climate will you get if you stay in the house all day and flip through bad account books?"

Xie Jinglin is a typical person who refuses to change despite repeated admonitions, but his attitude towards admitting his mistakes is very good: "Yes, father, I realized that I made a mistake, and I will correct it..."

Xie Susu, who came over with tea soup, said: "Dad, you have been working outside for half a day. Although my eldest brother is at home, he has been tired for a whole day and is not relaxed. People say that the old man is angry.

Exuberant Qi will harm the body, and it will be serious if Qi makes you sick..."

When Xie Zongze saw his daughter, he became extremely angry.

Of course, this is not because I am angry with my daughter, but because I feel guilty.

Xie Zongze pointed at Xie Jinglin and said: "Beast, I don't care about your own life or death. Why don't you think about your sister? Your reputation for being ignorant and naughty has ruined her life. Why are you still here?"

Don’t you reflect on it?”

Xie Susu smiled and said: "Dad, this is your fault!"

Xie Zongze took the tea from Xie Susu's hand and drank it in one gulp: "As a father, you should listen to me. What's wrong with you as a father?"

Xie Susu retorted: "If it were an ordinary season, studying, cultivating one's family, and governing the world would not be a mistake. But the problem is that the current situation is difficult, the court orders are changed overnight, treacherous ministers and villains are in power, and the state is in dire straits. Besides, the famous scholar Zhao Duanwu (now known as Zhao Duanwu)

Zhao Shiji) was such a learned man. He rebelled and his heads were chopped off. All the young and old men in the family were killed, and the women in the house... In short, no one in the family came to an end. This

Is this the benefit of being a scholar?"

Xie Zongze was really speechless. He thought for a while and said: "As a father, I am not as sharp-tongued as you. I can't speak to you, but now I want to talk about you!"

"What's the matter with my daughter?" Xie Susu felt something was wrong. This was the rhythm of urging marriage.

Xie Zongze sighed and said: "My father sent someone to inquire. Zhang Huaize was appointed by Marshal Cheng as the head of the workcao. Although this person is responsible for the work of the craftsmen, he was born in the Zhang family of Laiyang. If it were before, our Xie family would not be able to reach their Zhang family."

The Zhang family is now in decline. This Zhang Huaize is still unmarried. Although he is a bit poor, he is quite talented and academically qualified. If he takes a formal course, he might be able to go to high school..."

Only then did Xie Zongze realize that his daughter was slumped on the chair, her eyes dull.

Xie Zongze was a little anxious: "What's wrong, Su Su?"

"My daughter is fine!"

Xie Susu smiled bitterly: "It's Susu who has embarrassed father and mother! It's my daughter who has dragged you down..."

"Can't this Zhang Huaize catch Su Su's eyes?"

"Laiyang Zhang family is from a prominent family, but..."

Xie Susu's tone seemed extremely firm: "My daughter would rather marry Madam Bai than a scholar!"

"If you don't marry a scholar, you will marry a poor soldier. What's the point..."

"daughter!"

Just when Xie Susu was about to answer, the concierge came in and reported: "Sir, Commander-in-Chief Ning Haijun is here to visit!"

"ah……"

Xie Zongze said hurriedly: "Please come quickly, no, I will personally greet you!"

Everyone in southern Liaoning knows about Cheng Shijie's reputation. He is a murderer. When he first came to Liaonan, Cheng Shijie killed more than 6,000 Jiannu and Mongolians. The corpses of these Jiannu and Mongolians were

, built on Jinshi Mountain in Gaizhou, it became a huge Beijing temple.

What's more, many military households in southern Liaoning are prisoners of Ning Haijun. The rumors about Cheng Shijie are becoming more and more outrageous. Some people say that Cheng Shijie is over ten feet tall, some say that he can run horses on his arms, and some say that he can run horses.

Eat three human hearts for one meal...

However, in Xie Zongze's view, Cheng Shijie controls the lives of Xie Zongze's family and must not be offended.

Just when Xie Zongze walked to the door, he turned his head inadvertently and saw Xie Susu's face turned slightly red, her eyes flickering, and she was infinitely shy...

This is……

Cheng Shijie is alone in Liaonan and Shandong. He is a single widower. Even though Cheng Shijie is thirty-five years old, as long as he is willing and willing to marry his sister-in-law, he can be arranged from Liaonan to Dengzhou.

.

This is actually no exaggeration.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were still people who looked down upon chains. The literati and gentry looked down on military attaches, military attaches looked down on powerful men, and powerful men looked down on common people. However, although military attaches were not prominent enough and lived very humble lives in front of civilian officials, military attaches were also officials and could not be provoked by ordinary people.

In terms of Xie Susu's thoughts, there is really no love between men and women for Cheng Shijie. After all, the education she received throughout her life was to teach her three obediences and four virtues, and she should not think about what she shouldn't think, and she shouldn't look at what she shouldn't see.

Xie Susu had heard a lot of rumors about Cheng Shijie, but she really wanted to see what kind of person it was that could make Shandong bandits frightened, put down the Kong Youde Rebellion in the Banyue Rebellion, and build a Jingguan for the murderous Jiannu slaves.

It's like the fans of later generations are a little excited to see their idols right away.

Of course, in Xie Zongze's eyes, this is his own girl Sichun.

A moment later, the main door of Xie's residence opened wide. Xie Zongze was in front, Xie Jinglin was behind, seventeen-year-old Xie Jingsen was second, and twelve-year-old Xie Jingcai was last. The whole family strode out neatly to greet them.

Xie Zongze clasped his fists in salute and said with a strong smile: "The commander-in-chief came to the humble residence and even threw himself into assassination. He really killed Zong Lin and his son..."

Cheng Shijie was a little strange, why did Mrs. Xie look at him so strangely?
