CHAPTER XLVI

Yan Xiu wanted to cultivate for a period of time, and the emperor sent academicians from the Tai Hospital to regulate Yan Xiu's body, and he was particularly angry at the assassination of Yan Xiu in the suburbs of Beijing, and ordered all departments to investigate it strictly.

The Xie family was taken back to the Guogong Mansion by Aunt Gong's people, and the Liu family sent someone to invite Yan Zhaohua to come over the mansion the next day.

Yan Zhaohua didn't need to communicate with him, and went directly to Qingcang Courtyard. Liu was coming out of the Buddhist hall, wearing a sauce-colored robe with a 10,000-character echo pattern, graceful and luxurious, with Buddhist beads hanging in his hand, and when he saw Yan Zhaohua, he stretched out his hand and led her into the house.

What happened in Changning Houfu that day, the Liu family had already heard Liu Cheng say it, and calling Zhaohua over today meant something else.

"After Xie Lan was taken back to the Guogong Mansion, Aunt Gong desperately pleaded with Guogong, Guogong was originally angry, saying that the Xie family did not have such a shameful child, and they wanted to be killed by family law, Aunt Gong protected each other with death, in the end, she was an old man who had served Guogong for half her life, and she couldn't watch her die, so Guogong said that he wanted to see you in person and ask you what you meant."

Yan Zhaohua didn't expect the Liu family to call her over, but it was because Guogong wanted to see her. Dingguo Gong Xie Guozhang Yan Zhaohua had never seen it a few times in his previous life, and it was all when the Xie family celebrated, and then the Xie family declined, Guogong couldn't afford to be ill, Yan Zhaohua only kowtowed to him a few times outside the courtyard and was sent back, but this time because of the Xie family's affairs, Guogong asked to see her.

After being stunned, Yan Zhaohua said:

"Grandpa Guo sees me...... Why? ”

Liu sighed and said, "Don't be afraid, he can't do anything, no matter how much Aunt Gong cries, Xie has done such a conscienceless thing, and he will never write it off." Guogong can't change anything when he sees you, you just need to remember this, not to mention, and I'm here. ”

Yan Zhaohua looked at Liu's calm appearance, and still had some drumming in his heart, Liu patted the back of her hand and said:

"It's just to see my grandfather, not to see any jackals, tigers and leopards, he is also a layman with two eyes and a nose, who wants to eat and drink."

Liu's comforting words made Yan Zhaohua purse his lips and smile, nodded to Liu, and said, "I wrote it down, but ...... Anyway, I won't give in, the third sister came to beg me yesterday, saying that I should tell my father to forgive my wife, I refused, this matter, it's not a matter of whether I forgive or not, but Mrs. She did wrong, she let people poison me, this is my life, if I go to intercede for her, next time I was really killed by her, who will my unjust soul go to reason? ”

Liu didn't expect Yan Zhaohua to say such a thing, and asked in surprise: "Ning Yatou still went to you to tell you this?" It's getting more and more unruly. You're right, if you do something wrong, you should be punished, and whoever asks you to compromise doesn't have to pay attention. ”

With Liu's words, Yan Zhaohua's heart finally settled down, and after waiting for Liu's to change his clothes, he walked with her to the study.

Xie Guozhang hadn't been to the court for two days because of Xie Lan and Yan Xiu's affairs, and he sent people to see Yan Xiu's injuries every day, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to talk to him, but the imperial doctor said that Yan Xiu's body should be well recuperated, and he couldn't stand any emotion anymore, so he didn't build a guest during this time, and Xie Guozhang couldn't drag his sick son-in-law off the bed, but he was in a hurry to speak, so he called Yan Zhaohua, the client.

The guards outside the study saw the Liu family from a distance, so they turned around and went into the study to report, and when the Liu family and Yan Zhaohua arrived, they opened the door directly and let them in.

Dingguo Gong's study is very rich, not comparable to Changning Houfu, this study, Yan Zhaohua was the first to come back in his previous life and this life, and now he understands a little, in his previous life, he can occasionally hear that Guogong dislikes Changning Houfu is not grand enough, compared with the magnificence of Guogong Mansion, Changning Houfu is really not enough to see.

Xie Guozhang is writing, there are maidservants playing fans behind him, there are maidservants on both sides of the maid carrying water and tea, standing beside him grinding for him is a delicate double ten beauty, young and bewitching, I heard that Liu's is coming, seeing that Liu's clothes have just appeared, she knelt respectfully to welcome Liu's early, and waited for Liu's to walk to the bookcase, before she said softly:

"Hello ma'am."

did not call herself a slave, it must be Xie Guozhang's concubine, Liu raised her hand to let her get up, and waved her hand to retreat, the concubine did not forget to bless her body in front of Yan Zhaohua, and then led the maid who had been waiting around Xie Guozhang to leave the study in a proper manner.

Xie Guozhang took the pen, raised his eyes to look at Liu, and then his eyes fell on Yan Zhaohua's body, Yan Zhaohua quickly knelt down and kowtowed to him three times, and greeted him coquettishly:

"My granddaughter Zhaohua asks my grandfather for peace, and I wish my grandfather good health and blessings for ten thousand years."

Yan Zhaohua bowed respectfully, resting her head on the back of her overlapping hands, Xie Guozhang didn't speak, and her body didn't even move.

Xie Guozhang looked at this delicate granddaughter, and originally wanted to call her over to scare her, although this time the matter had nothing to do with her, it was Xie Lan who died by herself, but in the end it was made out and hurt the dignity of the two families, plus the Gong family took Xie Lan to cry in front of him, and told him what this girl had done during this time, and with the support of the Liu family, Liu's personality, Xie Guozhang would not know? is used to being strong, so I think Yan Zhaohua is also a strong person.

But when this girl came, she didn't have the slightest arrogance, and the etiquette was also very thoughtful, the most important thing was that she was born with a weak appearance, and her voice was coquettish, which was a little different from what Gong and Xie Lan described.

"It's a sweet mouth. Get up. ”

Xie Guozhang has many wives and concubines, many children, and many children, and the children have a lot of children, and there are twenty or thirty grandchildren in the entire Xie family, except for the few who came out, the other concubines and grandchildren, he may not even remember the names, so he can be expected to have a good face for his children and grandchildren, so it is relatively rare for him to be so kind to Yan Zhaohua now.

Yan Zhaohua straightened up and stood up elegantly and dignifiedly, Xie Guozhang put down the pen, turned his hand and looked at it, there were two small ink spots on his fingers, but the maids who were waiting were not there, he didn't speak, Yan Zhaohua saw this, picked up the hot towel left by the maids on the side, and handed it to Xie Guozhang with both hands, Xie Guozhang looked at her in surprise, took the hot towel and wiped his hands, then sat down, crossed his hands and said:

"She's a sensible girl. But how can you do things that are so ignorant and aggressive? ”

And that's where it begins.

Yan Zhaohua said in his heart, secretly took a deep breath, and replied calmly: "Zhaohua doesn't know what his grandfather meant. ”

Xie Guozhang smiled, ignoring the Liu family standing behind her, his face turned pale, and he said to himself:

"You don't know what it means? How so? In the past two days, such a big incident has happened between the Xie Yan family, all because of you, how could you not know? Your stepmother, that is, your aunt, is now locked up in the room by you, and she can't get out of a single step, and the outside world is even more monstrous, you kid, but you have pushed our Xie Yan family to the forefront, this is to be pointed at the backbone of the joke, do you know? ”

Xie Guozhang's words made Liu unconvinced, for fear that Yan Zhaohua would say the wrong thing, and was about to open his mouth to refute it for her, but he heard Yan Zhaohua take the initiative to say:

"What the grandfather said, Zhaohua didn't dare to lie, Xie Yan did have a major incident in the past two days, but this incident was not because of Zhaohua, the reason why the thieves were hateful, not because the people reported to the officials, but because the thieves themselves committed evil deeds, if every people turn a blind eye to the thieves, then the law is empty talk, only everyone raises their arms, everyone supervises, and acts according to law, the number of thieves will decrease day by day. My grandmother knows what my aunt did, so does my grandfather really think that as long as I don't bear it, my aunt will make money and kill me, this is the right thing to do? ”

Xie Guozhang sat on the Taishi's chair, playing with the jade wrench on his thumb in his hand, staring at the little girl in front of him who dared to tell him the law, of course he couldn't say that Xie Lan did the right thing, smiled, and said:

"What kind of murder for money, do you know what it means to murder for money at a young age? There is indeed something wrong with what your aunt did, but it is not as strict as you say, after all, she didn't please in the end, she was greedy for things, and they were all things that the Xie family went out of, this ......"

Before Xie Guozhang's words were finished, he heard Liu's sharp voice:

"Grandpa is wrong about what he said! Xie Lan is not greedy for the Xie family's things, but the Yan family, it is Sister Wei'er's dowry, and when she went out of the mansion, she has nothing to do with the Xie family. Sister Hua asked for her mother's dowry as a matter of course! Xie Lan's greed for money is a fact. ”

Xie Guozhang touched his nose with some embarrassment, coughed dryly, and didn't dare to criticize Liu, so he had to change the topic and said:

"Okay, even if it's true that she's greedy for money, but it's not a bad thing, isn't Sister Hua still here in a good manner? Your aunt was also implicated by her two ruthless subordinates. This kind of thing, you can come back and sue me, I have my own way to punish her, but you sue your father for this, your father feels sorry for you, he must not be able to tolerate your aunt, this divorce is a matter of importance, and it is not just your father's business, which involves too much, in the long run, it may also affect the □□ of the court, these things, maybe you don't understand a little girl's family, but your grandfather is not lying to you, as soon as your father divorces his wife, people outside will say that Xie Yan's two families are not in harmony, Those bad guys who are watching may take advantage of the situation, and the far-reaching impact of this incident is not something that can be clearly said about the back house, you know? ”

Yan Zhaohua roughly understood the meaning of Xie Guozhang's words, he didn't completely listen to Aunt Gong and Xie Lan's crying before deciding to intervene in this matter, but had more far-reaching political considerations, in his opinion, because the matter of the back house is on the table, it is not good-looking, it will leave the politicians with the impression that Xie Yan's two families are not in harmony, and it may directly affect the judgment of some people, which is why after Xie Wei died, Xie Guozhang asked Yan Xiu to marry a woman from the Xie family as his stepfamily.

In Xie Guozhang's view, the affairs of the back house are all trivial matters, if Yan Zhaohua is not the kind of thing that wants to force Yan Xiu to divorce his wife, this old man will not rush to mediate, in his opinion, if Yan Zhaohua can be explained and her as the initiator can be settled, then he will be able to have a better conversation with Yan Xiu, this is a politician's decision, he is good at considering, how to use the least effort, as much as possible to deal with more things.

Yan Zhaohua still hesitated in the end, Liu Shi glanced at her, stepped forward and said:

"You can tell your son-in-law directly about these influences, Zhaohua is only twelve years old, what does she know about politics? I came here today, but I was wronged, and I want your grandfather to be the master for her, as for the matter of divorce from her wife or not, can she count it as a child? ”

Xie Guozhang looked at Liu, he had obviously seen the little girl shaken before, he just needed to say a few more words, the little girl might agree, but at this time, Liu's interjected, making him fall short, and couldn't help but sigh, Liu's didn't care whether he was happy or not, and put his arm on Yan Zhaohua's shoulder and said:

"Okay, let's stop here today, kowtow to your grandfather two more times, and I'll send you back to serve the sick."

After speaking, without waiting for Xie Guozhang to object, Liu patted Yan Zhaohua on the back, Yan Zhaohua immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Xie Guozhang, and then in Xie Guozhang's rather depressed expression, the grandfather and grandson walked out of the splendid study.
