Chapter 311 What a fine old man, Bi Deng!
Not only the Luo family members couldn't figure it out, but the Xie family members couldn't figure it out either.
And the Xie family is even worse off than the Luo family.
Only the page about Xie Xiu in the Luo family's genealogy was torn off, but the entire Xie family tree was gone!
The patriarch of the Xie family suspected that it was Xie Xiu who did it, but he couldn't understand how Xie Xiu could have such ability?
He didn't believe that Xie Xiu could train such powerful people, so after thinking about it, he could only suspect that Xie Xiu asked Jiang Er for help, and Jiang Er instructed the Black Kirin Guards to do the job.
After all, Concubine Jiang now has a prince, and Queen Chen has committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Concubine Jiang will become the queen sooner or later, and Jiang Er's status will naturally rise. There must be many people in the Black Kirin Guard who are eager to curry favor with him.
The more the Xie clan leader guessed, the uglier his expression became.
Thinking of his clansmen's attitude towards Xie Xiu, he could no longer sit still and hurried to the capital.
He had previously been dissatisfied with Xie Xiu and was proud of his status, so he did not rush to the capital.
It was not until the family tree was stolen that he could no longer sit still.
After arriving in the capital, he first sought out the Xie clan members stationed there to discuss matters.
Almost all the members of the Xie family were very dissatisfied with Xie Xiu, so when they learned that the family tree had been stolen, they were all filled with righteous indignation and clamored to find Xie Xiu to settle the score.
Fortunately, the Xie clan leader had some brains and directly brought up the eldest princess, the Jiang family and the Black Kirin Guards, which frightened these ignorant clan members and prevented them from going to Xie Xiu to cause trouble.
Then he came to Xie's house in person with gifts.
Xie Ying not only secretly monitored his actions, but also left seeds in the house where the Xie family members lived as eavesdropping devices to eavesdrop on the movements of these Xie family members.
Sure enough, these people were not reconciled.
After the Xie clan leader left, some of them held a small meeting in the house to discuss how to make Xie Xiu obedient.
Because Xie Yun had only been exiled for a short time, these people were still a little scared, so they did not dare to make any big moves for fear of attracting the attention of the court.
But they were unwilling to let go of the coal mine in Xie Xiu's hands.
Moreover, since Xie Xiu passed the imperial examination and became a top scholar, he would surely pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future.
They also wanted to control Xie Xiu and make him work for the Xie family.
What made Xie Ying even more dissatisfied and speechless was that this group of people discussed for a long time, and the solution they finally came up with was to send a concubine to Xie Xiu and then whisper in his ear!
He also took it for granted that Tu Jiaojiao was old and had given birth to four children in a row, so she must have become old and ugly and could no longer please Xie Xiu.
Moreover, she was just the daughter of a small rich man in the countryside, and she was too tall and strong. Xie Xiu would definitely not really like her.
It was just that the Tu family had saved his life, and he didn't want to ruin his reputation, so he pretended to be loyal, unwavering, and deeply in love.
Just like Xie Yun at the beginning, he showed great respect to Chen Fang on the surface, and only took one concubine, which was an accident. Moreover, he never went to the concubine's room for many years, and successfully deceived everyone.
However, he secretly kept a mistress and had three sons and one daughter with her.
Since Xie Xiu is Xie Yun's biological son, he is definitely not a sentimental person. He is forced to restrain himself and only stay with Tu Jiaojiao.
If the Xie family sent him a beautiful woman who was gentle as water and well-versed in literature, it would help Xie Xiu out of his predicament and make him grateful.
After hearing these people's calculations, Xie Ying said: "..."
She rolled her eyes speechlessly and suddenly felt a little sympathy for Xie Yun.
Xie Yun felt really aggrieved to have to support such a group of stupid tribesmen and treat them with courtesy.
These idiots sucked Xie Yun's blood, and now that Xie Yun is down, they actually want to suck Xie Xiu's blood.
You really think you're a dish.
Luo Hongwang should have said that to them as well.
When this group of people finished their meeting, the head of the Xie family had almost arrived at the Xie residence.
So Xie Ying stopped paying attention to this group of idiots and secretly started paying attention to the Xie clan leader.
It turns out that Patriarch Xie is smarter than his clansmen.
This time when he came, his attitude was very polite, and there was no trace of the arrogance that had previously hidden in the Xie family's old house and refused to go to the capital in person.
When Xie Xiu received the Xie family genealogy, he guessed that someone from the Xie family would come.
So we hired someone to keep an eye on them.
As soon as the Xie clan leader arrived in the capital, he got the news.
Although the other party's willingness to show up in person was somewhat beyond his expectations, that was all.
No matter who comes, his attitude towards the Xie family will not change.
The gift given by the patriarch of the Xie family was a box of ancient ink carved with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and a Duan inkstone.
They were all good things, and their value was quite high. Giving them to a scholar like Xie Xiu was a very impressive gift.
Xie Xiu didn't take it, but pretended to be confused and asked, "What do you mean, Patriarch Xie? As the saying goes, no merit, no reward. I dare not accept your gift."
When the Xie clan leader saw this, his heart sank.
Xie Xiu had already severed his relationship with Xie Yun and had no intention of recognizing them as his clansmen.
He just secretly recorded Xie Xiu back in the family tree, and this person then hired someone to steal their Xie family tree. The warning was very obvious.
If he were to speak politely in his capacity as the clan leader and say something like "a gift from an elder cannot be refused" and ask Xie Xiu to accept the gift, the other party would probably turn against him and have him kicked out!
So the Xie clan leader could only smile bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I have no other intention in coming here.
I just feel that you can't write two words "Thank you" with one stroke. After all, you have the blood of the Xie family flowing in your veins. We are a family and should be of the same blood.
Even if you have resentment because of your father, there is no need to sever ties with the family and start your own business just out of spite.
You are still young and have a long way to go. It is better to have someone to help you than to be alone. If you can pass the exam and become a top scholar, you should be able to pass the exam and become an official in the future.
In official circles, if one has no one to help him, it is inevitable that he will have a hard time getting ahead, and he may even be ostracized and sent to some remote village to serve as a small county magistrate.
If you are lucky, you can still waste your life and barely have a good end. If you are unlucky, you will be sent to a poor and remote place, and you may not even be able to protect your life. "
At this point, he sighed helplessly, "I'm not threatening anything, I just want to tell you that being an official is not easy. For a man to be an official is actually not much different from a woman getting married.
Without family support, a man would not have a good future even if he entered officialdom. If a woman did not have a strong family, not only would she not be able to find a good husband, but she would also be bullied by her husband's family.
You should understand this very well. After all, you have the blood of the Xie family and have experienced many hardships. I really can't bear to see you being bullied again after you enter the officialdom in the future."
At the end of his speech, the Xie clan leader actually wiped away his tears, looking very emotional.
Xie Ying was simply stunned by his acting skills!
Old Biden is worthy of being the clan leader, his acting skills are amazing!
