491. in the first place
Emperor Wen half-leaned on the chair in the upper study, holding the fold in his hand, and his cold eyes swept over Xie Yanning, "How is Elder Xie Ge's condition?"
Xie Ningyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Xie Ge has been recuperating at home for nearly half a month due to illness, and Emperor Wen always asks whenever he sees Xie Yanning.
Xie Yanning frowned slightly and shook his head: "My father has been suffering from a problem for many years, probably because the weather is late this year, and it is too hot in the summer. ”
Emperor Wen's cold eyes seemed to be sprinkled with broken gold, sparkling like a lake at sunset, he didn't feel surprised in his heart, but just sighed a little, "I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Xie Ge Lao has also reached the age of Zhishi," he shook his head lightly and sighed a little, "Back then, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, only Xie Ge Lao dared to speak out......"
Those passing years seem to have emerged in front of Emperor Wen's eyes with this excerpt.
There are not only rebel ministers like Wei Jie in the court, but more loyal courtiers like Xie Ningyuan, but he, the emperor, has nothing to do, so that a cadre of civil servants has no place to use, and has been suppressed by military generals.
Emperor Wen tightened his fingers and pursed his lips, showing that the corners of his mouth were a little stiff.
Xie Yanning heard Xie Ningyuan talk about what happened when the emperor was there, he bowed and gave the emperor a big salute, and said in a deep voice: "When my father gave the minister a fold, he told the minister to make this gift for him, in the heart of my father, he has always been very grateful to the emperor for his kindness, my father once said that for the emperor, even if it is a liver and brain, he will not hesitate, his father ......"
"I know..."Emperor Wen waved his hand, interrupting his words, and there was a trace of warmth floating in his cold eyes, "I have learned "The Mean" from Xie Ge since I was a child, how can I not know Xie Ge's personality? ”
Emperor Wen sighed, called "Zhao Yuande", and instructed: "Decree, Xie Ningyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is far old, and I am worried about Xie Ge with the matter of official positions...... Xie Ge Lao his self-cultivation and guarding, to the end of his old age, give silk and the way to stay, and give sheep wine clothes when he is old. ”
This is to order that Xie Ningyuan's existing Yulu will be retained, not only to approve his request to Zhishi, but also to indicate that in the future, his food, clothing, housing and transportation will be provided by the imperial court.
Xie Yanning never expected the emperor to be so kind to his father, so he was surprised and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.
Emperor Wen excused him and talked to him about political affairs.
After the political affairs were finished, Xie Yanning and the attendants returned home with the holy decree in their hands, and the old and young of the Xie family knelt down in a courtyard.
Hearing such a holy decree, everyone couldn't help but smile on their faces, this is really a great grace, you must know that there are not a hundred and dozens of officials who have folded their heads all year round, but the officials who can completely retain the fortune can be counted with one hand, especially in this dynasty, which is a very few, and among these very few, the Xie family has a strong stroke, isn't it exciting!
Old Madam Xie rewarded the waiter who came to announce the decree, and turned around and returned to the flower hall with a smile.
In the flower hall, Chanyi was sitting dignified drinking tea, and when she saw her grandmother coming back, she quickly stood up and greeted her, and the smile on her face couldn't help overflowing: "My grandfather is overjoyed, I hope my grandfather will get better soon after hearing such good news." ”
Old Madam Xie smiled and hugged her, "I'll just say that the princess is a lucky star, you see that you have just come, and the holy decree has been issued, this is really the emperor's grace." ”
The eldest lady and the third lady sent away the waiter, and helped the fifth lady into the flower hall, Xie Shuangyun, who followed beside her, saw Chan Yi talking to the old lady Xie with a smile, and couldn't help but step forward to make fun, "What kind of joke did you tell in the evening, and you made the old ancestor so happy?"
Xie Shuangyun knew that Old Madam Xie was happy about the Holy Decree, and she was amusing to ask knowingly, but she provoked a slap in the eye from Old Madam Xie.
"Why are you going to call the princess tonight?" You monkey, how many times have I said it, why can't you remember? Fortunately, now it's your own family, no one picks on you, you can take a look at it in another place, and you can't let people say that the Xie family is not well-educated?" Old Madam Xie reminded again, "Prince Ming'an's mansion holds a banquet, if you are not so careful, you don't have to go with it, and save your grandfather's face!"
Although the usual grandmother is also so unpretentious, today it obviously means something, Chanyi couldn't help but be stunned when she heard it, seeing that Xie Shuangyun's originally smiling Junxiu little face was quickly covered with frost, she hurriedly opened her mouth to play a round: "Grandmother, there are no outsiders in the house, so you don't have to stick to these titles at home," she smiled as she pulled Xie Shuangyun's hand, "Sister Shuangyun must come tomorrow, there is a small piece of kapok tree blooming in the house, I asked the kitchen to make your favorite kapok shrimp tofu, and it is the most hot and damp to eat in summer." ”
Xie Shuangyun didn't dare to complain about her grandmother, and saw that Chanyi treated her affectionately as usual, and subconsciously shrank her hand: "Grandmother's lesson is that her granddaughter will never do it again in the future." ”
Such alienation, even Chanyi's previous round was embarrassing, and she let out a long sigh in her heart, she and Chu Shaoyuan were already married, and Cousin Shuangyun couldn't let go of it, but I was afraid that I would have less contact with Cousin Shuangyun in the future.
Xie Feiyun, who was standing on the side, also sighed in his heart, Shuangyun's temperament is getting bigger and tougher, it's just a matter of being stubborn with the third aunt at home, and he has to be so tough here in the evening, it's really stupid.
Seeing that the atmosphere had become dull, she smiled and stepped forward to take Chanyi's hand: "Does the princess only make what Shuangyun likes to eat, there is more than one mouth in this room, how can she favor one over the other?
Chanyi covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister Fei is indispensable, you will know when Ming'er comes." ”
The atmosphere of harmony in the room was restored, only Xie Shuangyun stood there alone, neither interjecting, nor paying attention to her, she couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand.
Chanyi said and smiled, seeing that it was not early outside, she stood up and said goodbye, and a room full of people got up to send it, she hurriedly said: "Stop quickly, you are not an outsider, there is something at home, don't send it," she turned around with a smile, and the corner of her eyes suddenly skipped the fifth aunt's sweaty face, her body was stunned, and she turned her head to look at her with concern, "Fifth aunt, what's wrong with you?"
"Hmm..."Min snorted softly as soon as he opened his mouth, as if he had endured it for a long time.
Chanyi was shocked, Min is a person with a double body, about to give birth, if it weren't for the holy decree, she would never go out of the room, if it was because she sat with herself for a while and caused a problem with this child, then her sin would be great.
