Chapter 425: The Man in a Hurry
On the day of the Lantern Festival, at the beginning of the lantern festival, at the order of Princess Changping, the messenger and his party who had not been able to live well for many years finally arrived in the capital of Dongqi, and when passing through Zhuque Street, the team leader couldn't help but let people park the car on the side of the road and enjoy the beautiful scenery of their hometown for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
They were only later sent by the Nine Emperor Princes to serve Princess Changping, although they were not away from home for a long time, but who knows if there will be a chance to set foot in Dongqi again after this time? Therefore, everyone seized the opportunity and greedily looked at the beautiful scenery of Rusi, so as to hide it in their minds.
"Okay, let's go to Xie's house first, find Miss Xie, finish the things the princess explained, and then go back to the princess's mansion to rest. ”
The leader gave an order, and everyone had to obey.
They soon arrived at Xie's house, and when they asked someone to pass it on to Xie Yingluo, they were told that Xie Yingluo was now not only the young lady of the Xie family's house, but also the head of the Xie family.
The team leader was stunned for a moment, and confirmed with Menzi again and again, before he reacted, how can this be good? The princess wants to cooperate with Miss Xie, just to use the power of the Xie family, now that the family has obtained the position of the head of the family, if the princess still wants to cooperate with her, she must come up with other conditions, but the princess who is far away in Nanchu, what else does the head of the Xie family want?
Xie Yingluo received a letter from Mama Xie, and after reading the content of the letter, she couldn't help but hehe, if this letter had come half a year or a year earlier, she would have agreed without hesitation, now!
Xie Yingluo, who has become the head of the Xie family, looked at the promise in Princess Changping's letter, and felt that it was too pale, the princess of a dignified country could only promise such a meager benefit, and then she wanted to use this benefit in exchange for her Xie family's secret guard to assassinate the sect leader of the Ruiyao Sect for her?
Although the little girl made her mission fail, she didn't think that the little girl was powerful, but the person Li Shu arranged for the little girl was really good, so that while she was frustrated, she had to envy the little girl.
She also really wants to have someone who protects herself like Li Shu protects Li Qianqian, but the person she puts in her heart only has his delicate cousin in her heart, and she can't see herself at all.
And the people around her, including her father and grandfather, all stared at her like wolves, staring at her all the time, waiting for her to be negligent and stumble.
Gently bent his fingers on the armrest of the Taishi chair and tapped lightly, the old lady Xie who was half lying on the bed looked at her hand with great displeasure, he used to think that this granddaughter was not easy, but after she calculated and took away the position of the head of the family, the old lady Xie had no good impression of this granddaughter, and all that was left was deep disgust and powerlessness.
Because he no longer had the strength to tear her off the position of head of the family.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Old Lady Xie had to admit that the woman in front of him was indeed extraordinary, and none of his children and grandchildren could match her.
"What are you going to do?" Old Lady Xie lowered his eyelids, turned a blind eye to her fingers that were still tapping on the armrest, and pointed to the letter in her hand, he asked weakly.
The corners of Xie Yingluo's mouth curled slightly, and she glanced at her father, who was sitting below, "You don't have to be a fool to help." Let her people help me eradicate dissidents!"
The terms of her cooperation with Princess Changping are still discussed, but these details do not need to be told to her father and uncles.
Hearing this, the elder brothers Xie couldn't help but exclaim, and Xie Yingluo turned his head and grinned at them. "Fathers and uncles have to be careful. Princess Changping's people, I can't control it, those people under your hands, if they are targeted, I'm afraid they can only consider themselves unlucky. ”
"You dare!" Master Xie slapped the table and got up angrily, and Master Xie San also glared at her angrily.
Why don't I dare? Hehe, Xie Yingluo smiled very poorly, and her provocative eyes slid over the elder brother Xie, and then received their angry eyes with great satisfaction, "Tut-tut, grandfather! It seems that my father is very dissatisfied with your decision!"
The old lady did not move his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "You are the head of the family, if there is anything wrong with them, you can discipline them." He encouraged her to teach her a lesson to the elders who had been disrespectful to her.
"Hehehe, grandfather, you are laughing, although I am the head of the family, but after all, I am a junior, right? They are elders, what do you want to do, I can control it?" Xie Yingluo smiled with crooked eyebrows, looking sweet and lovely, but in the eyes of Old Lady Xie, she felt that the woman in front of her was as cunning as a little fox, so annoying.
Xie Yingluo snorted secretly, old fox. He thought that if she obeyed her wishes and put her in the position of the head of the family, she would have to do her best for the Xie family? He allowed these so-called elders to suppress her, and he still wanted her to work hard for the Xie family? The abacus was too beautiful! Unfortunately, she never liked to follow the path arranged by others.
"You are the head of the Xie family, but whether you can make all the clansmen obey you, that's your ability, isn't it?" The old man raised his eyes and smiled, "Yingluo! Grandfather is optimistic about you, because you have the ability to run the Xie family, you can't rely on your grandfather to help you, you want all the clansmen to obey you, you have to do this yourself." ”
"Oh, is it?" Xie Yingluo smiled lightly, and when she stood up and walked to the door, she stopped and looked back and smiled, "Grandfather, don't worry, even if the head of the family is busy, I will still take care of Brother Yun." ”
After finishing speaking, he left, completely ignoring the fact that Master Xie staggered up behind him and chased after him, and heard Master Xie shouting loudly, "Xie Yingluo, you come back for me, you tell me clearly, you hid your brother there! Xie Yingluo, you evil girl, you hand over Xie Yun to me, Xie Yingluo!"
Suddenly, a dart flew towards his door out of nowhere, frightened Master Xie hurriedly dodged, two attendants beside him, one raised his sword to block the dart, and the other quickly protected him behind him, and the two looked around vigilantly, afraid that the person who shot the dart would not give up and come again.
Master Xie behind them, seeing that there was no danger, shouted loudly, but the two attendants were angry to death, and the two of them worked hard to protect him, but he caused trouble for them behind him?
But if they are angry, can they take out their anger on their masters? No, then they can only hold back!
Xie Yingluo had disappeared, and Master Xie felt that the crisis was over, so he jumped straight on the spot, and loudly pointed at the two attendants and scolded, and the three masters had already gathered around the old lady to protest.
If the old lady doesn't want to pass on the position of head of the family to the eldest son, then there are still a few of their brothers! Xie Yun, that guy is not a weapon, and he still has their son! Why should he pass it on to the illegitimate daughter of the eldest master? Do you think that by giving her an aunt to record in her name, you can erase the fact that she is from the outer room?
The eldest lord turned around and found that his younger brothers were prying into his corner, so angry that he rushed forward with an arrow step, stretched out his hand and fought with the third master, even if Xie Yingluo was not taught, it was still his daughter!
If the position of the head of the family is taken away by the third brother, it will be difficult to take it back.
The more fierce they fought, the more disliked the old lady became, and the position of the head of the family could fall on their heads.
"Enough!" the old lady frowned and shouted softly, but because the voice was too small, the people who were able to fight didn't hear it, and the people who persuaded him were also on the rise, so naturally they didn't hear the old father's reprimand.
The old lady has been high all his life, and he has been angry like this, even if it is Xie Yingluo, calculating that he will win the position of the head of the family, when facing him, he will give him enough face, but he didn't expect that it was his sons who gave him anger.
When the waiters came in, they found that the old lady was faint and exclaimed loudly, so that they stopped.
At the same time as ordering someone to invite a doctor, the third old man had an idea, and let people spread the news that Xie Yingluo had made the old lady faint.
The doctor came quickly, and after checking the old lady's pulse, he persuaded, "A few old men, please be careful, the old lady is too old to be angry, and this is already a small stroke, and if you want to be angry again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to treat." ”
"It's all Yingluo's evil obstacles......"
"What's wrong with the head of the Xie family? Just now the head of the Xie family asked the old man to come over, just because he was afraid that the old lady would be angry with the masters. The doctor said in his heart that as expected by the head of the Xie family, several old men were extremely dissatisfied with the old lady passing on the position of head of the family to her, and poured dirty water on her when they seized the opportunity.
Third Master Xie wanted to say something, but was pulled by the fifth master behind him, and Master Xie paused and asked, "The doctor just said that the little girl Yingluo invited you over?"
"Yes, otherwise how could the old man have come so quickly. The doctor shook his head and went to prescribe the prescription, and then Master Xie and the others found out that the doctor was accompanied by two Xie family secret guards, this is ......
A secret guard that only the head of the house can mobilize.
Xie Yingluo actually sent two to protect the doctor?
This is a slap in the face! Why do you want to send someone to protect the old lady's doctor?
Needless to say, just by looking at this situation, the people outside know that the Xie family is not very peaceful, and even the doctor who treats the old lady needs to be protected, what does that mean? Some people want to attack the old lady? They are dissatisfied with the old lady passing on the position of head of the family to Xie Yingluo? So they want to force the old lady to change his mind?
Just such an action is enough to make outsiders think about it.
And Master Xie, they can't even say anything to refute.
Why? They didn't say it explicitly, but they took the lead in jumping out to prove their innocence, didn't they get darker and darker? Did they think too much? Or did they ......
And not to mention outsiders, what should the old lady think when he finds out?
"Big brother, your life is really good! With such a powerful daughter here, even if she is not the head of the family, she is even more free than the head of the family!"
The four masters looked at the eldest master with complicated expressions for a long time, and turned around and left without saying a word.
Master Xie was a little proud, his own daughter was powerful, but he was also afraid that this powerful daughter would do something to his son.
knew that Brother Yun couldn't be supported, so he wouldn't have stepped on his daughter in order to support him, but he never imagined that the dead girl had been trampled to the bottom, and she could still turn over, and more importantly, she actually got the trust of the Nine Emperors.
With the Nine Emperor Princes and Wei Changxuan behind her back, even Princess Changping, who was far away in Southern Chu, took the initiative to show favor to her, which is really strange!
No wonder his father wanted to pass on the position of head of the family to the dead girl.
I don't know where she got her son, and the people who were sent to hide around her have not been able to find out the whereabouts of her son.
Master Xie probably didn't expect that the person he sent to ambush his daughter's side had already been bribed by Xie Yingluo, and sent him some false news from time to time, just to get some silver from him to spend it!
Xie Yingluo returned to the room, and her confidant Gu's mother greeted her, "Girl, the person sent by Princess Changping is still waiting in the small courtyard, you can see ......"
"Let him go back and tell Princess Changping that I am happy to serve Her Royal Highness the princess, but I have only won the position of the head of the family at present, and the foundation is not very stable, I am afraid that I will have the help of the princess, and when this matter is over, I will immediately send someone to relieve the princess's worries." ”
Gu's mother nodded in response, turned around and went out, and when she sent Princess Changping's messenger away, she was about to reply to Xie Yingluo, when she saw the maid placed in the old lady's courtyard hidden in the dark.
She stepped forward to talk to her, and after speaking, she handed the other party a purse, seeing that the maid was overjoyed, Gu's mother couldn't help mentioning her, and watched the person walk away, before turning around to see Xie Yingluo.
"Is the matter done?" Xie Yingluo asked when she sat in front of the window reading a book, and saw her come in.
"Yes. Gu's mother stepped forward to close the bead curtain in front of the window for her, "Girl, what are you going to do with Princess Changping's request?"
Xie Yingluo put down the book in her hand, turned her head to look out the window, and the porch was full of all kinds of lanterns, because she was now the head of the house, so the courtyard where she lived was the most lively, and the eyes of the people below were poisonous, and they recognized the truth earlier than Master Xie.
The glory and wealth of the Xie family want to continue, only this young female head of the family can continue to be at the helm, the eldest lord is old, can he make any contribution to the Xie family? No, the brothers only know how to fight for power with each other, and they have never made meritorious contributions, and they want to be in charge of the family?
The subordinates originally had a joke-watching attitude towards Xie Yingluo becoming the head of the family, but after she took over the head of the family, the secret guard of the Xie family was subdued by her in just half a month.
Now, even if the old lady repents and takes back the position of head of the family, the secret guards of the Xie family may not obey him anymore!
So of course they have to please Xie Yingluo, everyone hates to show their faces in front of her!
Gu's mother looked out along her line of sight, and naturally saw the colorful scene under the porch.
"Let's take a look at it again! She has a master around her, she didn't see Doctor Wei but wasted the boss's kung fu to connect Fang Xinhuai's tendons, I don't want them to end up with Fang Xinhuai's same fate, Fang Xinhuai has a good sister, the only son under Doctor Wei Shen, in order to be treated by Wei Shen, we don't have that backer, we have to recognize it, don't do anything out of the ordinary to make people suspicious." ”
Gu's mother breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "The slave is afraid that you will hinder your friendship with Princess Changping, and as soon as she mentions it, you will accept it regardless of it." ”
"It's okay to send someone to help her find out the situation, and deal with people for her, we don't have that ability, so we won't take care of it!"
Xie Yingluo tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled, Gu's mother looked at her smile and felt a little pain in her heart, even though her girl stood in the position of the head of the family, she was still not free.
At the same time, the people and horses sent by the Jin Kingdom of Xiyue were going to the Northern Jin Dynasty through the Zhao Kingdom, but when they were in the middle of the Zhao Kingdom, they were blocked by heavy snow, and they were trapped in the mountains.
