Chapter 26： The Loving Scholar Who Abandoned His Wife and Son 4

Xie Mo was so shocked that he couldn't hold the bowl in his hand steadily, and fell on the bluestone steps. It fell to pieces in an instant.

When he knelt down to clean up, Xie Hui also squatted down to help him clean up together, and just continued on the previous topic.

"According to the rules, you have to observe filial piety for one year when your grandmother dies, and three years for Ding You when the elders of the minister's family die. As a scholar, if you don't observe filial piety for your grandmother, you will be able to do well in the future. This is an excuse for others to attack you."

"Also, if your grandmother passed away to keep the filial piety, the matter of going to the master's house to propose marriage may have to be shelved for the time being, but you can go and ask first if the master is willing to settle the marriage first."

After tidying up, Xie Hui looked at his son who was still in shock, and continued slowly:

"So... when do you think your grandmother will die?"

What happened one after another made Xie Mo's brain not enough.

What does he think when his grandmother dies? Is this still an option?

If it was placed before, he must hope that his grandmother can live a long life and make his father happy. But after learning about that incident, Xie Mo felt resentful, and he couldn't say that kind of blessing.

If grandma just favored uncle, he would have gotten used to it. But... what grandma wanted to do would directly destroy his life.

Xie Mo didn't answer, Xie Hui continued according to his previous arrangement.

"The plan of being a father is to go to the door to propose marriage to the daughter of the master's family first, and then let your grandmother pass away. You are now a Juren, and you are not too old. It is not appropriate to go to Beijing to catch the exam too early."

"Even if you are very talented, how can His Majesty use you with confidence? You will always be sent to get your qualifications, which is a waste of time."

This time, after he finished speaking, Xie Mo nodded, as the Master had said to him before.

In many cases, it may not be a good thing to be too sharp, especially because he has no background behind him, and he can go for a long time only if he works steadily.

When cleaning the dishes, Xie Hui saw the child who was still following behind him. Why do the sons like to be followers?

After finishing, Xie Hui took Xie Mo back to his room, and took out a delicate box. After opening it, a luminous pearl came into Xie Mo's eyes, making him subconsciously hold his breath.

When Xie Hui was on a mission before, in order to avoid unexpected needs, he stuffed some treasures in his personal space, gold and rare treasures, no matter which world he was in, they could be exchanged for currency in circulation.

"It was left by your mother at the beginning, and now it's just right to sell it to you to marry a wife. Although the family is just like this, there should be a lot of etiquette."

Fortunately, the original owner's wife who died early had a mysterious life experience, and Xie Hui was able to find out the reason.

After hearing what his father said, Xie Mo frowned and closed the box, and said in a low voice:

"Father, since this is mother's relic, you should keep it. From today onwards, I will copy more books to earn some money, or go to the county to find a school to be my teacher."

He naturally wanted to give his sweetheart a beautiful wedding, but he hoped that all of this could be achieved with his own hands.

There are not many relics left by mother, but father kept them for such a long time, if he sells them for his marriage, he will feel guilty all his life.

"Do you think that if your grandmother falls into the hands of your uncle, she can live long enough for you to become a wife and earn money to marry Miss Li?"

Of course, Xie Hui couldn't kill the old lady with his own hands. Even in the mission world, he is a good mission person who abides by the law.

Therefore, he just planned to hand over the old lady to the care of her most beloved young son for a period of time.

"Father, you..."

Xie Mo was a little puzzled by the meaning of his father who had always been obedient to his grandmother.

Xie Hui is definitely not willing to follow the original owner's character design of the silent old scalper, not to mention that the instigating main **** didn't let him fully abide by the original owner's design.

Well, in fact, he was dismantled five or six times by asking him to abide by the system set up by the original owner.

I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to others, but to my son, I still have to find an excuse to quibble.

"Mo'er, many things people live in this world are not because of their liking, let alone their own intentions. Apart from feelings, there are also responsibilities that are equally important."

"Just like your grandmother, my father doesn't like her, but she is his mother, so she is his father's responsibility. Now that I have done enough, I should let her be with her most beloved young son. Together."

Xie Mo nodded half-understood, then got back to business, and brought up the matter of not being able to sell the relics left by mother.

"Before... I had private contact with Ms. Li, and she said that it's okay to be a little crude."

When mentioning this matter, Xie Mo himself felt a little embarrassed. As a man, he wanted to marry his sweetheart as his wife, yet he still asked her to back down.

After hearing these words, Xie Hui's face became serious, and he tapped his index finger on the table one after another. The atmosphere in the room became tense, which made Xie Mo's heart rise involuntarily.

"She thinks like this, it's because she has a good temper, virtuous and sensible, if you think like this, then you are ridiculous and don't understand etiquette!"

"Okay, this matter is settled like this, go back to your study to study."

Xie Mo moved his lips and wanted to speak, but under his father's stern gaze, he had to stop.

After he left, Xie Hui picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but I always feel that it's better to discuss it with this child, it's better to give him an order and let him carry it out.

Early the next morning, Xie Hui took the Ye Mingzhu to the **** shop in the county, exchanged some extra money and bought some gifts.

What Xie Hui told the cheap son was to pick a good day and bring the matchmaker to the door to propose marriage, but in fact, in this era, it is not appropriate to rush to the door to propose marriage.

A little more particular about getting married requires three books and six rituals.

Even in their small county town, they don't pay attention to that. It is also up to the parents of both parties to meet and exchange opinions. After obtaining the consent of the woman's parents, a matchmaker will be sent to the door, so as not to ruin the reputation of the young lady.

Speaking of which, Xie Mo's wife and family are very kind-hearted, especially Miss Li.

When the old lady was unwilling to give money to Xie Mo to take the exam, the original owner only secretly stuffed it, which was not enough.

After the death of the original owner, when Xie Mo went to pay homage, he mentioned that most of the silver taels spent in those exams were due to Miss Li selling the jewelry and then handing over the silver to him.

Miss Li's death, in the original plot, was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Xie Hui came to the door with a gift, Mr. Li's home was in the county, because Mrs. Li also had a reputation, and was an official in the capital in the early years.

In addition, he runs a school, and the family conditions are not bad, with several servants.

Led by a servant, Mr. Li greeted him before he reached the backyard. Seeing the gift in his hand, he hurriedly wanted to refuse it.

"What is this for? Xie Mo is about to go to Beijing to catch the exam. If you still have money at home, why not prepare more for him."

Master Li sat down with Xie Hui, and the maids quickly served tea.

Xie Hui explained the purpose of coming today to Master Li.

The old man in the family is not in good health and has been bedridden for many years. A few days ago, the doctor came to make a diagnosis that he might not live until the end of the year.

The child really admired the daughter of the master's family, and worried about delaying Miss Li's flowering, so he rushed to the door.

After listening to Master Li, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, nodded in agreement.

"It's like this, of course it's the best. You can ask the matchmaker to come to your door some other day."

Mrs. Li knew that his daughter had sold some jewelry behind his back and used it as money for Xie Mo. Without his permission, his daughter was raised in a deep boudoir, how could she have that opportunity.

As a master, he naturally doesn't want to be too partial to a student, but he really can't bear to see such a talented student being delayed due to his family background.

The main reason why he hadn't mentioned it before... was because he heard about the bad things in Xie Mo's family, and he was afraid that his daughter would be wronged when she married her.

Now seeing that Xie Mo's father came to the door in person, he is full of sincerity, plus the child was raised by himself, so there is no need to pick his character.

If his daughter really married him, Xie Mo would have to rely on himself as his wife and father-in-law if he wanted to make achievements in the officialdom in the future.

Although Master Li has returned to his hometown to open a school to teach, he seems to be just an ordinary person.

But when he was in the capital, he also achieved the sixth rank. Later, he was tired of the intrigues in the officialdom, so he resigned and returned to his hometown to be a little teacher.

With this relationship, Xie Mo didn't dare to bully his daughter.

"Before I heard that the lady of the mansion sold the jewelry to pay for my son, I was really ashamed to say it. I also don't know how to choose, I just bought a few randomly, as an apology."

Xie Hui handed the exquisitely packaged gift to Master Li. This time, Master Li did not refuse.

After agreeing on a date, he personally delivered Xie Hui to the door.

Xie Hui was too lazy to go back to cook after traveling all day, so he bought some steamed stuffed buns from the county. On the way back, I had already started to think about breaking up the family.

It doesn't matter if I am with my son, even though it's bad, I won't lose if I argue. But when a girl who is so charming and doted on gets married, there is no reason for her to live with them and make her wedding day miserable.

Although Xie Fu has a generous personality, he also has a little cleverness. If he rashly proposes a separation and wants to give him his mother, he is definitely not happy.

Xie Hui didn't want to make it too ugly, his son will have to be an official in the future, and now he values ​​his reputation very much.

The original owner felt guilty for ruining his son's life, and he came all the time, so there was no reason to repeat the tragedy.

As for how to counterattack, Xie Hui is good at cutting through the mess quickly, and if there is no way to solve the trouble, then completely eliminate the trouble.

But this kind of parents who have to take care of everything are short-sighted, and it is really tricky to deal with. With your hands and feet tied, it's no wonder that it's hard for an upright official to break up housework.

After returning home, Xie Hui put down the things he bought, and beckoned to Xie Fu after seeing the two people who were still imprisoned in the pigsty.

"Come here, let me tell you something small."
