Xiao Qinghe saw that Xiao Ziyu and Xiao Jingchen didn't speak, he sighed and said, "What, you don't want to?"
Xiao Ziyu was silent for a while, to be honest, her brain was a little dazed, she couldn't tell what it was like, if she was unhappy, she wasn't completely unhappy.
Xiao Qinghe's attitude is still very gratifying to Xiao Ziyu, no matter what, Xiao Qinghe didn't plan to bring the outer room in, which also made Xiao Ziyu a little relieved, at least Mrs. Xiao didn't have to face such a sad thing, but Xiao Ziyu was still very conflicted in her heart, and she didn't know how to face this problem.
"Father, did you leave this problem to me and my brother?" Xiao Ziyu asked.
"It's not a problem, after all, the father is a man, and he can't meddle in the affairs of his daughter's family, Zixiu is also your sister no matter what she says, and you should help her, the father only hopes that she can marry someone who is good to her in the future, and does not require the other party to be the son of the family, I just hope that she can also live a plain life. Xiao Qinghe said.
"I know what my father means, they are all father's daughters, even if they are born and raised in the outer room, they are also my father's flesh and blood. Xiao Ziyu nodded and said.
Xiao Qinghe smiled, looked at Xiao Ziyu and said, "Yu'er, don't feel uncomfortable in your heart, since the father gave birth to her, he must be responsible for her, no matter who comes out of the belly, it is my child, you and Brother Chen, Brother Hao, are my children, this will never change." Xiao Qinghe said word by word.
Xiao Ziyu looked at Xiao Qinghe, she completely believed what Xiao Qinghe said.
Xiao Qinghe's love for her, she also saw it in her eyes, but she still had a strange feeling in her heart.
"I know, father, I know your love for me, I understand it, but I really don't know how to face you, all of a sudden, I have an extra teenage sister, and you still let me worry about her family affairs, how can you let me accept it?" Xiao Ziyu asked.
"The father knows your embarrassment, in fact, strictly speaking, the father is not a good feeling in his heart, the mistakes of the year, have long been the result of today, but Yu'er, the father has never been a person who is willing to evade responsibility, since the mistake is committed by himself, he must be responsible, if you don't want to, the father will not force you, but this matter, you still have to hide it from your mother. Xiao Qinghe said with a sigh.
"Since my father thinks it's no big deal, why do you want to hide it from my mother?" Xiao Ziyu asked.
"I want to hide it from your mother, not for myself, but for your mother's good, some things, I don't know the truth, it may not be a blessing, in fact, I can guess your mother's reaction, for your mother, even if she knows, she won't show how sad and sad, even if she feels very uncomfortable, she will endure it, maybe she will let me take people in, after all, your mother's virtue, you two should also know. Xiao Qinghe said.
These words really made Xiao Ziyu not know what to say, Xiao Ziyu knew that what his father said was too right, he should be sure of his mother.
Even if he knew that his mother knew, it wouldn't be good, and he would probably make compromises.
Xiao Ziyu suddenly became a little angry, she looked at Xiao Qinghe, and said, "Father, aren't you bullying people? You know that your mother is sincere, you just have to be determined that your mother is ruthless to you, so you will be so unscrupulous." β
Xiao Qinghe was not angry, watching his daughter fight with her mother like this, Xiao Qinghe felt very relieved.
"Yu'er, in fact, it's good to look at you like this, it's really good. Xiao Qinghe said.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Zi asked puzzled.
"Yu'er, you have really changed a lot, your attitude and heart towards your mother are much better than before, Yu'er, you didn't hurt your mother's heart a lot before, do you know?"
Xiao Ziyu suddenly felt very guilty, every scene in the past slowly appeared in front of Xiao Ziyu, for Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Ziyu was quite guilty.
"I still don't understand what my father meant. Xiao Ziyu's face was a little unnatural.
"Yu'er, I'm really happy that you are defending your mother like this now, in fact, in your mother's heart, your position is the most important, more important than me, your eldest brother, and Brother Hao, do you understand?" Xiao Qinghe suddenly asked.
Xiao Qinghe suddenly changed the topic, but Xiao Ziyu was a little uncomfortable.
"Father, I know, I have always known that my mother loves me, so I hope she can live happily, I don't want her to be hurt, father, what you are doing now is to deeply hurt your mother and hurt someone who loves you!" Xiao Ziyu couldn't help but say.
"Yu'er, I understand, so I want to hide it from your mother now, I don't want her to know so many things, don't you still understand my hard work?"
"Why, why is it always when the mistake has been made, and now you want to make amends, what did you do in the first place?" Xiao Ziyu asked with some sadness and indignation.
"Actually, I don't want to do this, but just like you said the mistake has been cast, I don't have any way, this is probably doomed, I married your mother back then, not willingly, just for the union of the two families, I don't dare to say, what a dedicated man I am, before the marriage, I saw your mother, although I didn't like her much, but I still couldn't help but be overwhelmed by her beauty, Yu'er, you are very similar to your mother when she was young, but your mother is not as strong as you, she is a very gentle person, it turns out that I once regretted marrying your mother, What I need is a woman who can help me support the entire Xiao family behind my back, I am not a naΓ―ve, little girl who doesn't understand anything, she is simply ridiculous, do you understand this feeling?" Xiao Qinghe looked at Xiao Jingchen and Xiao Ziyu and said.
Xiao Ziyu didn't speak, but Xiao Ziyu could imagine that Mrs. Xiao was really speechless in the past.
It's really very simple, so simple that people don't know what to say.
It's no wonder that Mrs. Xiao didn't like Mrs. Xiao at the beginning, this is indeed a fact.
"So at that time, there were really too many contradictions between me and her, she really made people love and hate, she didn't understand anything, but she was very smart, she was very generous, very considerate, and very kind to everyone, including people who had malicious intentions towards her, she also tried her best to tolerate it, I can actually see that she loves me, so for me, I can tolerate everything, including Aunt Fang's framing of her and my reproach, she is obviously very concerned in her heart, but she still faces me with a smile, so, I have always had an ambivalent attitude towards your mother, such a woman, probably no man can not pity itγ Xiao Qinghe can be regarded as dissecting all the emotions in her heart, she has never said these words to anyone, including Mrs. Xiao, and also in the past few years, the relationship between the two has been very good, and he has never said it.
"Father, I didn't know that you still had such thoughts in your heart. Xiao Ziyu was also surprised.
"The past is over, and your mother and I have suffered a lot, I can swear to your brothers and sisters, since the day I decided to live well with your mother, I have never met another woman, at my age, I know very well what I want, I am determined to live a good life with your mother, there will be no other thoughts, as for this woman outside, it is really just a mistake I made in the past. Xiao Qinghe said very seriously.
Xiao Qinghe's words have come to this point, and Xiao Ziyu and Xiao Jingchen can't say anything.
"Father, this matter should be kept from my mother forever, in fact, I just came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, I don't know if my father is willing to listen to it. Xiao Ziyu thought for a while and spoke.
"You say. Xiao Qinghe said lightly.
"Father, since I know with my brother, in the future, the mother and son will be handed over to me and my brother to take care of, my father will not see them, I can promise my father that I will take care of them, my sister I will look at it and say a good family matter, maybe I will marry far away, I will not stay in the imperial capital, as for the younger brother, I think it is best not to stay in the imperial capital, the third brother is very loud in the south, I heard the third brother say that the academy over there is very good, you can send him over, and when you grow up, you can also arrange an official and a half-position in the south, as for the woman, let her go to the south with her younger brother to live, my brother and I will naturally send money over regularly, and the third brother has a business over there, also has a certain amount of connections and relationships, and will definitely not embarrass their mother and son, father, do you think the method I said is okay?" Xiao Ziyu asked.
Xiao Qinghe frowned slightly when he listened, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "What you said is also a good way, leaving like this, your mother will never know, and I can breathe a sigh of relief, but I am worried that Huixin and their mother and son may not agree." β
"Father, you don't have to worry about this, I'll go and say, I'm sure I can convince the three of them, mother and son. Xiao Ziyu said with a determined face.
Xiao Qinghe naturally understands his daughter's ability, as long as Xiao Ziyu is willing to go out, there is basically nothing that cannot be done.
"Well, I believe in you, you are my daughter, and I know that you are also measured. Xiao Qinghe said directly.
"Well, since my father believes in me, then I'll leave this matter to my eldest brother and me. Xiao Ziyu said with a smile.
Xiao Qinghe nodded, "Yes, leave it to the two of you, and I am most assured." β
Xiao Jingchen wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xiao Ziyu with his eyes, and Xiao Jingchen had no choice but not to speak.
Xiao Qinghe looked at Xiao Ziyu and said, "Yu'er, now, you can talk about the business you came to me." β
Xiao Ziyu pursed her lips and said, "Father, I want to know who is the person who will escort the grain and grass after Yu Wenmo goes on the expedition?"
Xiao Qinghe knew that Xiao Ziyu was here for this, and this matter was a relatively important matter, and Xiao Ziyu was naturally understandable.
In the past, on the front-line battlefield, the most feared thing is food, grass and military supplies, if something happens, it is very likely not to die on the battlefield, but to die in the hands of one's own people.
"Your Majesty has not yet decided on a candidate, but in my opinion, it should be chosen between the crown prince and the two princes. Xiao Qinghe said.
"Is Your Majesty dizzy?" Xiao Ziyu sneered.
"Don't talk nonsense, Yu'er, are you dying if you say this?" Xiao Qinghe looked at Xiao Ziyu with a serious face and shouted.
"Crown Prince, Prince Qing and Prince Su wish Yu Wenmo died outside, can't Your Majesty see this? Isn't it a big mistake to hand over such an important person to one of these three people?" Xiao Ziyu said very dissatisfied.
In fact, this is also what Xiao Ziyu is most worried about, why does she have to get married in advance, and now she is guarding the huge prince's mansion alone, just to be able to act more conveniently, if she is still the third girl of the delicate Xiao family, then many things cannot be done.
"Your Majesty naturally knows that Your Majesty will appoint, the crown prince, one of the two princes to escort grain, grass and military supplies, but in the same way, you will also appoint a supervisor to work together, which can also play a role in supervising each other. Xiao Qinghe said.
In fact, Emperor Taihe was not so confused, and it was impossible to hand over Yuwenmo's life to his political enemies so easily.
Xiao Ziyu is not surprised, this is also very similar to Emperor Taihe's style of acting, Xiao Ziyu has not dealt with Emperor Taihe, so he naturally knows that Emperor Taihe will do this.
"Who is that person?" Xiao Ziyu asked.
Xiao Qinghe looked up at Xiao Jingchen.
Xiao Ziyu and Xiao Jingchen naturally understood, it turned out that Emperor Taihe had already thought of a candidate, and it turned out to be Xiao Jingchen.
However, the two of them can also understand that Xiao Jingchen is indeed a very suitable candidate, whether it is identity or status, it is a good choice.
If you find an insignificant person, you will not be able to achieve the effect of mutual supervision.
Because those three are all masters, they will definitely not take insignificant people in their eyes.
And Xiao Jingchen's identity is just right, and it should be taken seriously by the three of them.
"Your Majesty chose the elder brother?" Xiao Ziyu asked with a smile.
Xiao Qinghe nodded, "I recommended it, and Your Majesty also liked it, so I directly decided that no matter who escorted it, your brother will be the prison army, although the task is very difficult, but if it is handed over to your brother, I will rest assured." β
Xiao Jingchen didn't have much reaction, of course, although he had the same opinion on Yu Wenmo himself, he also knew which was more important, so he would naturally focus on business.
"Then in this way, my brother's marriage?" Xiao Ziyu said with some embarrassment.
"Don't worry, Prince Yu went out on the expedition, and the grain, grass and military supplies he brought were enough to support him for a few months, and it would take three months to escort the grain and grass before he set off. Xiao Qinghe said directly.
Xiao Jingchen was reluctant to hear it, and said directly, "Father, I want to get married before leaving." β
"What? How can this be, you are only three months away from the day of departure, at most, three months, it's too hasty. Xiao Qinghe frowned, it seemed that he was very unhappy.
"This wedding was originally a matter for me and Jing'er, and I think the wedding will be good within three months, just after Jing'er's ceremony. Xiao Jingchen refused to give in.
"Aren't you fooling around? You are the eldest son of the family, the grandson of the eldest family, is your big wedding a joke? Your sister has advanced the wedding date, and there is only two months to prepare, although the wedding is grand, but it also makes your mother and me, a father, sad, and you want to break your mother's heart now? And there is also your grandfather's side, do you think it makes sense? What a nonsense, I will never agree to this. Xiao Qinghe said very angrily.
"Father, why do you have to be so serious? What a big difference between three months and half a year, preparation is just these things, three months is enough, don't you want your son to get married soon? My age is not young, father, when you are your age, my eldest son was born. Xiao Jingchen persuaded in a good voice, he really said everything, and even Xiao Qinghe said the previous things.
