Chapter 715 Xie Zheng
Xie Zheng walked into the room, looked at Xie Jin leaning against the window, and said uneasily: "Ninth brother, you are looking for me."
Xie Jin raised his eyes and looked at him: "Come and sit."
There was no emotion or anger in the faint voice, which made people feel uncertain for a moment.
Xie Zheng walked over and stood awkwardly. He hadn't spoken to Xie Jin for a long time, and he had rarely even seen him twice in a year. This time, he really didn't understand why he was looking for him.
Xie Jin pointed to the chair opposite him: "Sit."
Xie Zheng then sat down and put his hands on his legs nervously, "Nine...what do you want from me, ninth brother?"
Xie Jin took a sip of tea and said in a lazy voice, "Fourth brother is not married yet."
Xie Zheng looked at him in confusion, but still said: "No, I haven't found the right one."
In fact, the marriage of the bastards in the family was not allowed to be decided by herself. Mrs. Xie had no interest in controlling these bastards, so she naturally had no time to think about their marriage, so she delayed it.
Ever since she became the mistress of the Xie family, Mrs. , and I don’t treat him harshly. If the concubines want to study, they naturally go to their fathers. Mrs. Xie doesn’t care about this.
Except when Xie Jin was bullied by them when he was a child, Mrs. Xie would occasionally come forward a few times. Later, when Xie Jin was a few years older, he could basically solve his own problems. Mrs. Not much intersection.
When the bastards were young, they felt like this was good. No one cared about them, no one asked, they didn’t have to look at their aunt’s face to live their lives, they didn’t have to worry about morning and evening every day, and they didn’t have to be made things difficult for them every day - it’s just that the bastards were always bad at learning. Even though he was living a good life, he always liked to cause trouble for Xie Jin. He was taught a lesson by Xie Jin many times and severely punished by Xie Shoufu just because he tried to commit suicide.
Apart from having little status in the family, it's generally pretty good.
It's just that after adulthood, the disadvantages of no one asking about it come out. Xie Jun, the oldest, is already over thirty, and Xie Ming is also nearly thirty. So far, none of the bastards in the Xie family have gotten married, and the three The concubine was married off, because it was not suitable for an old girl to stay at home.
As for these bastards, Xie Shoufu seemed to have forgotten their existence.
However, marriage matters are usually dictated by the parents and the matchmaker, and the concubines in the backyard have no right to make the decision. If Mrs. Xie doesn't care about it, where will they get married?
So it has been delayed until now. If Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie continue to ignore it, it may be possible that they will never marry.
Xie Jin knew it in his heart, but he didn't expose it. His mother didn't care about it, so why did he care about it?
They love marriage or not.
But today he called Xie Zheng here because of his marriage.
Xie Jin adjusted to a comfortable position and leaned on the brocade couch: "Fourth brother should be aware of the rumors that have been spreading in the past two days."
"Rumors?" Xie Zheng looked a little embarrassed, then nodded hesitantly, "I know a little bit."
Although he didn't go out much, Xie Jun and Xie Ming had told him in front of him, and he knew that most of those rumors were true.
"Fourth brother, go and choose a suitable woman to get married." Xie Jin said calmly, "Family background is not important, as long as she is innocent, it is better to choose a woman who is virtuous, smart, and able to manage the family and live a good life. She should be honest and responsible in temperament, and don't be arrogant. Just a moth will do.”
"Ninth brother?" Xie Zheng was a little surprised that he suddenly mentioned the matter of getting married, and then he lowered his head and said, "The mother should make the final decision on marriage, and the eldest brother and the second brother have not yet -"
"You don't need to pay attention to them. I'll take care of my mother's side." Xie Jin looked at him expressionlessly, "I'm discussing your marriage with you now."
Xie Zheng pursed his lips: "Ninth brother, please tell me."
"If you can give birth to a son after we get married, let me raise him." Xie Jin said, "As long as you stay calm, you, your aunt, and your wife will be able to live comfortably in this life, and your child can inherit the Xie family business. , and you are still his father, but you are not allowed to interfere in the process of teaching your children. "
Xie Zheng looked at him in surprise, almost unable to believe what he heard: "Ninth brother?"
Inherit the Xie family business?
"Surprised?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows, "I won't have any children in this life. If you adopt your child and let me raise it, he will be the direct grandson of the Xie family. Aren't you happy?"
Xie Zheng shook his head subconsciously, "No, not...I, I..."
"There is no rush about this matter. You can go back and think about it carefully." Xie Jin drank tea with his eyes closed and his posture was leisurely. "But there are a few important points for me to remember clearly. The wife you want to marry must have a clean financial background and a law-abiding character. You'd better be smart, otherwise I'm worried that the child will inherit your stupid and timid character, and it won't be able to be nurtured, and I will have to find another child to raise, which is a waste of my time. "
Xie Zheng nervously clenched his hands, unclenched them, and clenched them again. He couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to him.
"But don't be too anxious about choosing your wife. You can choose slowly. I'm just telling you my decision for the time being, so that you have enough time to think about it." Xie Jin said lazily, "After all, I am still young and can wait. "
It is true that you are still young just after the age of weak crown, and you will not be anxious until you are 30 years old.
Xie Zheng nodded slightly: "I understand."
"One more thing, you don't have to ask after the child is born. You and your wife can discuss it by yourselves. Don't think about the child every now and then, and don't cry, make a scene, or even hang yourself. If you really do that, don't blame me for turning hostile."
Xie Zheng's face changed slightly. Does this mean that they can't take a look at the child after it is born, or see each other often?
"The last point, I will name the child, and I will decide everything. You can be his father, but you have no right to control anything about him until he comes of age." Xie Jin seemed to see his hesitation, and added casually, "Don't worry, I won't completely stop you from seeing the child. After all, you are still his father. I will let the child know who his parents are."
Xie Zheng was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly.
These requirements are actually very overbearing, but for the weight of the four words "inherit the family business", this bit of overbearing can be completely ignored.
"Go back and think about it." Xie Jin said, "Don't rush to reply me, tell me when you have thought it through."
Xie Zheng nodded and said, "Thank you, ninth brother."
Xie Jin looked at him calmly and drank tea.
