Xiaosheng is really not a nerd. Chapter 814 is in charge.
When the grandfather and grandson came to the door, they saw four men carrying something covered with brocade cloth.
A middle-aged man in colorful clothes came forward and cupped his hands: "Thank you, old man."
Xie Guangde asked in confusion: "What is this?"
The man in rich clothes smiled and said, "I was ordered by Miss Tantai to deliver something to the house."
Xie Guangde heard this and looked towards Xie Fu. Xie Fu smiled and nodded. Who else could he do besides Tantai Heqing?
Since grandson’s wife sent it over, let’s move it inside first to see what it is. Xie Guangde said, “Let’s move it in first.”
The man in rich clothes told the four people carrying the things to be careful. The four people were also very cautious and frightened at every step, fearing that they would make a mistake.
When the things were moved to the hall and put down, the four men breathed a sigh of relief.
The man in colorful clothes said: "Please open it, old man."
Xie Guangde curiously pulled off the brocade cloth, and suddenly the treasure light shone in all directions, and the whole hall shone brightly under the treasure light.
Even a person like Xie Guangde, who doesn't care about treasures, couldn't help but sigh.
But it is a Zhilan jade tree half a foot wide and seven feet high, carved with pure jade and inlaid with jewels.
It is so lifelike and radiant that it can make people unable to open their eyes.
The man in colorful clothes smiled and said, "This is Miss Tantai."
Xie Guangde took a breath of air. His future grandson's daughter-in-law's handiwork was too scary. Compared with this Zhilan Yushu, Xie Fu's package of gold and silver was simply shabby.
The man in Chinese clothes took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xie Guangde: "This is a letter from Miss Tantai."
Xie Guangde opened the letter:
A lesson from my ancestors: I would like to pay my respects to my granddaughter-in-law He Qing, who has not yet passed the door...
The letter said that she was unable to visit in person because she was ill and expressed her deep regret, so she sent a Zhilan Yushu to wish her ancestors longevity and health...
After reading, Xie Guangde smiled and nodded, turned to look at the Zhilan jade tree, and read out the couplet above: ""The trees in the garden are all white, and the four generations of Zhilan are all white eyebrows. Good, good, good meaning, good intentions..."
As he spoke, the man walked to the couch in the middle of the hall and ordered, "Move this couch first and place it in the center."
Xie Fu came closer and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, don't you think this power is too harsh?"
Xie Guangde said angrily: "What do you know? Giving jade is naturally different from giving gold and silver."
After Xie Fu looked at the arrangement of the Zhilan jade tree, he found it too eye-catching and said, "Don't you think it's too tacky?"
Xie Guangde was unhappy: "Shit! The jade contains long blessings, good luck and good health, and the meaning of this couplet is really great. All the trees in the house have beautiful hair, the orchids in the fourth generation have white eyebrows, and the jade-rich home is safe. From now on, this is me
It is the treasure of the Xie Mansion."
He did not forget to teach Xie Fu: "From now on, you should learn from He Qing and give me a bag of gold and silver. How did you come up with it?"
Haha, the more I watch it, the more I like it, the more I watch it, the more I like it, and I can’t stop laughing.
Xie Fu smiled and said, "As long as you like it, I don't care."
"As I go, I hate you again when I see you."
"Thank you, old man. Then we'll leave first."
Xie Fu suddenly remembered the task that He Qing asked him to use up the gold and silver flowers and reward the four people who moved the things.
The four of them received the silver reward and quickly thanked them. They said a few nice words to Xie Guangde, which made Xie Guangde even happier.
…
At noon, Xie Guangde ordered Uncle Quan to prepare a table of wine and food for Mr. Xie to wash away the dust.
Xie Li also sat down, and Uncle Quan was waiting on him. It was considered a family banquet.
Seeing Uncle Quan standing, Fu Xie smiled and said, "Uncle Quan, please sit down too."
Uncle Quan smiled: "Second Young Master, you are stupid, I am a servant."
Xie Fu asked back: "Uncle Quan, you have stayed in my house for decades, are you still an outsider?"
Generally, large families are very particular about the superiority of master and servant, and servants cannot sit at the same table as their masters. However, as Xie Fu said, Uncle Quan has been in the Xie family for decades and has long been like his family. Xie Guangde smiled and said: "Ah Quan,
The second young master asked you to sit down, just sit down."
Uncle Quan was flattered, so he followed Xie Guangde's instructions and sat down, but still did his duty of serving, pouring wine for the master and the two young masters.
I am really happier today than during the Chinese New Year.
After sharing a drink, Xie Fu asked: "Uncle Quan, where are the other servants in the house?"
Earlier, Mr. Xie saw that Uncle Quan was needed to do everything inside and outside, but there were no other servants, so he asked this question.
Uncle Quan smiled and said, "Everyone has left, and I am the only one left."
Xie Fu asked: "Why are everyone leaving?"
There were some things that Uncle Quan couldn't say anything about, so he looked at Xie Guangde gently.
Xie Guangde groaned, which was a little hard to say.
However, Xie Li smiled and said, "As a family, I have nothing to say."
"Fu, after you left, the ancestral hall was burned down. The clan members proposed to move Yao Qing's spiritual throne back to the old place of Kuaiji. The clan members pressed hard. In order to raise enough money to rebuild the Xie family's ancestral hall, grandpa sold off all the ancestral properties, and the family also paid for it.
Everything was clean and tidy, so in order to save money, we dismissed all the other servants."
Just two old men, living in poverty and embarrassment, how could they support other servants.
Xie Fu said guiltily: "It's all my fault. If it wasn't me..."
Before Xie Fu finished speaking, Xie Guangde gave him a severe beating and scolded him: "You bastard, you still want to hide it from me!"
Xie Fu was confused: "Grandpa, what are you hiding?"
"Li'er told me that the fire was caused by his negligence, and you took the blame for him."
Uncle Quan exclaimed when he heard this. Recalling the scene of Fu Xie being chased by him, his heartbroken eyes suddenly turned red. Second Young Master, Second Young Master, you can swallow this huge grievance. Even if
Therefore, he was expelled from the clan without any complaints.
It's a shame that Uncle Quan has a wolf-like heart and a pair of dog eyes, so he was completely blinded.
Xie Fu looked at Xie Li in astonishment, only to hear Xie Li smile and say: "Fu, I have suffered such injustice for so long, and I am here to express my apology to you. I'd like to toast you."
Xie Fu brought the wine and drank. Needless to say, the two brothers had to say that one of them had to take responsibility and save the other one. Xie Fu was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Xie Fu also believes that if something happens to him, his brother will take care of him when needed.
Immediately afterwards, Uncle Quan picked up the wine glass with both hands and said tremblingly: "Second Young Master, Uncle Quan also wants to toast you."
"Okay." After drinking, Xie Fu asked: "Uncle Quan, where are these servants in the mansion now after they left?"
Quan Bo said: "They all went to make a living on their own. Some worked as slaves in other people's houses, and some started small businesses to make a living."
Xie Fu said: "Let everyone come back, it's better to stay the same as before."
The decline of the Xie family did not happen overnight. Those who persisted in staying with the Xie family in the last few years were all loyal. Now that Fu Xie is capable, he cannot forget them.
Uncle Quan heard this and said happily: "That's good, that's good." When there were more people, it became lively, and the house became less deserted.
Fu Xie took out the money and said, "Our Xie family owes them ten taels each. You can send it to them. If you are willing to come back, give them another ten taels. The monthly payment will be doubled."
Uncle Quan heard this and said, "Second Young Master, you can't spend money like this even if you have money."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "No matter how much money you have, it's just like a cloud. You can't take it away. What's important is that everyone is happy. Well... those who have signed the contract, you can use the money to manage it and let them go."
Uncle Quan reminded: "There are still some who have sold themselves."
There are two types of contracts: living and dead contracts. A living contract means working for the owner's family. A dead contract means selling one's body. It belongs to the owner's family and is protected by the law. The owner even has the power of life and death.
Xie Fu said: "Redemption! If it doesn't work out, I'll come forward again."
