Chapter 83 The Xie Clan of Chen County

"It's just ahead."

Xie Shang led the way, and Zhao Yue and the servant guards who followed him followed Xie Shang.

"There are indeed many noble families in Wuyi Alley."

"Most of them are the residences of the Langya Wang family."

After passing through the center of Wuyi Lane, which is also the best location, it took a long time to arrive at the Xie family's mansion in Chen County.

In terms of location, it is relatively remote in Wuyi Lane.

Looking at the mansion again, the gate is majestic and the mansion occupies a large area. However, when entering the mansion, it does not feel like Zhao Yue has entered the Yu family.

In the Yu family's residence, there are furniture and fences, all made of precious wood. Coral, jade and other items are not uncommon, but there is no such thing in Xie's residence.

There is no meandering water in the flowing wine glass, no jade in the rockery, and even no water in the pavilion and pond.

Two words: Simplicity!

"Haha, my house is simple, please don't mind me."

"The mountains are not high, if there are immortals, they will be famous. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons. Although brother Injo's mansion is not luxurious, I think it is full of culture. It is located on the bank of the river, and there will be noble people."

"Hahaha. Mr. Lang, please stop joking."

Xie Shang led Zhao Yue all the way into the inner hall where guests were entertained. What surprised Zhao Yue a little was that there was actually a small school ground in Xie's mansion.

"It seems that Mr. Xie of Chen County has not neglected his martial arts skills. He practices martial arts in the school every day."

"sit."

Zhao Yue knelt down and sat down, while Xie Shang went to give orders to his servants. Then he knelt down in front of Zhao Yue and said, "The world is unfair. Although I, Mr.

So what if I am ridiculed by the world?"

The first generation of the Xie family in Chen County first appeared in the officialdom.

The second generation of Xie Heng was appointed as an official doctor, a regular attendant on horseback, the prince of the country offered wine, and the prince's young tutor. He was proficient in Confucian classics and knowledgeable and became the emperor. The prince's close attendants began to enter the central political circles.

The third generation of Xie Kun "did not abdicate his fame" and had a negative attitude towards officials. The highest official he held was the governor of Yuzhang, but he had a very high reputation in society and was known as the "Hope of the Imperial Court".

His younger brother Xie Bao took up the post of Wu Domestic History and held a local position with considerable political and economic power.

They entered the official career during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, won reputations for their families to varying degrees, and transformed their families from a family of ordinary officials into a family of officials for generations.

But at this moment, the Xie family has not yet formed a family status that is as famous as the Langxie Wang family, and family members are still looked down upon from time to time.

The servants brought drinks and food to them. After the food and drinks were delivered, the two of them walked in from outside the hall.

There was a man who was about the same age as Zhao Yue, with handsome features and somewhat similar to Xie Shang. Behind him, there was a four or five-year-old boy with two upturned braids and tiger-head shoes on his feet. He was looking at him with curiosity.

Zhao Yue.

"Mr. Lang, these are my two cousins, the eldest son Xie Yi, and the third son Xie An. You two, why don't you come and pay homage to Mr. Zhao of the Zhao family?"

Xie Shang stood up and introduced two tribesmen to Zhao Yue.

"There's no need to salute."

Zhao Yue stood up with a smile.

"I am not an elder. Since I am a peer, I will treat each other as peers. You two, please come and take a seat."

Xie Yi saluted Zhao Yue, and his first impression of the Zhao family husband whom he had heard many times in recent days was very good.

The four of them sat down, and even Xie An, who was still a boy, was sitting in a sitting position at this moment.

Judging from this point alone, the tutoring of the Xie family in Chen County is still very good.

No wonder there are so many capable descendants of the tribe.

"Today, Mr. Zhao of the Zhao family was invited by me to come to my humble residence. It is truly a blessing. Although he and I are of the same generation, Mr. Zhao is already well-known among scholars. His calligraphy, classics, poems and poems are worthy of both of you.

Those who learn should be treated like father and brother, and should not be looked down upon."

"yes."

Xie Yi nodded slightly, and Xie An, who was four or five years old, also nodded in a dignified manner, but he might not even know what Xie Shang meant. The two eyes on his baby-fat little face were at this moment.

He is looking at Zhao Yue!

"I am very eager to invite you today. I only have wine and meat, other delicacies, and singing and dancing, but I am not ready."

In fact, it's not because of lack of preparation, it's just that Mr. Xie of Chen County is short of money.

To hold a high-standard banquet, the materials consumed are absolutely expensive.

Now he, Mr. Xie, cannot afford too many such banquets.

Gaomen's luxury is based on his power.

After the fourth generation of the Xie family in Chen County grew up, so what if banquets were held every day?

During the two Jin Dynasties, officials could occupy land, mountains, and tenants according to their official positions. Those with more land could occupy 50 hectares of land and 40 households as tenants. Those with fewer households could occupy 10 hectares of land and 5 households as tenants.

The Langya Wang family has many high-ranking officials, so they have more land and labor, and their economic strength is naturally strong.

When the Xie family in Chen County becomes more powerful, and the younger members of the clan take up important positions, not to mention the whole family, but just the wealth of one of them, they can feast day and night.

For example, Zhao Yue now has never tasted the feeling of being short of money.

The Zhao family in Tianshui, Jiankang, has a wine shop, land, and shops. Outside Jiankang, places such as Huainan and Yixing have more land, including seven or eight mountains, countless paddy fields and dry fields, more than ten orchards, and large areas

The bamboo forest and vegetable garden have thousands of servants and tens of thousands of servants.

With such a family background, would they be short of money?

"It's just food. It's not like you and I haven't eaten before. There is also wine and meat, so what else do you want?"

When it comes to eating and drinking, Zhao Yue has only one requirement, which is to eat well and have a mix of meat and vegetables.

As for the so-called delicacies from mountains and seas, they are just for your taste buds.

After taking a sip of rice wine, Zhao Yue looked at Xie Yi, as if he had thought of something, he smiled and asked, "I wonder if Dalang has ever been married?"

As soon as Xie Shang heard Zhao Yue's words, he understood what he meant.

But there was a very pity expression on his face.

"Lang Jun, my cousin is already married."

"Oh? Which one is it?"

Xie Yi said on the side: "Zhuo Jing was born in the Chenliu Ruan family."

Zhao Yue nodded lightly.

"It's a pity that I still want to marry you, Mr. Xie of Chen County. I don't want to miss this opportunity."

Xie Shang's brows jumped and he said quickly: "There are still children in the clan who have not yet been engaged, such as Erlang Zhi, Sanlang An, and of course... there are also women in the family who are waiting to leave the palace and have not yet been engaged..."

This Xie Shang now wishes he could transform into a female family member and marry Zhao Yue.

"I heard that Saburo was praised by celebrities?"

Zhao Yue looked at Xie An.

If he and Xie An were engaged in advance, he would be able to use Xie An to his advantage simply by virtue of their marriage relationship, not to mention his later fame.

There are still too few people available for the Zhao family in Tianshui now.
