Round 282 Parental Memories
Xi Zhongyuan didn't chase after her at all, but secretly followed, and when he saw her enter the Taihe Palace, his eyes were dark, and he went to the front desk of the hotel and found the manager on duty.
The Xi family is a frequent visitor here, and the manager knows him, so he can't stammer, so he hurriedly invites him to the lounge on the side.
Xi Zhongyuan whispered a few words to the manager, not knowing what to say, and the manager had a groveling attitude.
After the two finished talking, Xi Zhongyuan was not in a hurry to go back, drank tea in the lounge for a while, and went back after about half an hour.
In the Taihe Palace, she didn't show an unhappy expression, blew out the candles, cut the cake, and everyone went home after eating.
On the way home, Kang Qi played for a day, but he was sleepy in the car, fell on his lap, and fell asleep before he got home.
After taking a bath, as soon as she got into the quilt, Kangxi leaned over, "Are you unhappy?" ”
When she brought her son back in Lu Xuantang, he saw her dislike, although she had a smile on her face, but her eyes were very cold, he thought that her son was running around and made her angry, but on the way back, he didn't see her teaching her son.
She is a strict mother, even if Kang Qi is desperately sleepy and makes a mistake, she will shake him awake and will never feel distressed.
"Nope!"
"Tell the truth!" With just one look, he knew what she was thinking.
"You must know?" She didn't even want to mention the people of the Xi family.
"If you're not happy, I'm not happy, so I need to know why!"
A simple sentence instantly melted the discomfort brought to her by the Xi family, "When I went to find Xiao Chen, I met someone I didn't like!" ”
"Who?" He had an expression like he was going to find the man and kick him in the ass.
"It's a bit long to say......," she didn't want Kangxi to know about the Xi family's existence.
"I'm not used to going to bed early, and I have time to listen to you slowly."
She rolled over and fell into his arms, then hugged his waist tightly, "It's my mom's dad." ”
"Huh?" Isn't Mom's father his grandfather, but she calls him in such an awkward way, and the most important thing is that he never knew that he still had a grandfather.
Therefore, Kangxi was surprised, "You actually have a grandfather?" ”
She said in a cold tone, "He's not my grandfather!" I don't have a grandfather like that either. ”
double denial, which shows how disgusted she is with each other.
Kangxi knocked on the side and said: "I remember you said that there are no relatives on your father-in-law's side, but your mother-in-law's relatives are all in S City, but because you don't often interact with them, the relationship is very weak." ”
She snorted softly against his chest, and she did.
The marriage certificate of the two was opened, but the wedding banquet has not been held, and after Kang Qi completed 100 days, he mentioned that he wanted to make up the wedding banquet, and specially asked her if there was anyone in the family, and she brought these relatives of the Xi family with a word.
At that time, Kangxi noticed her indifference to her relatives, but she didn't think much about it, and now the relatives who live very close to this society may not be very close, and it is good to go around every year, not to mention that she grew up in the United States since she was a child, and it is normal not to be close to relatives in China.
However, the wedding banquet was not held in the end, mainly because she was unwilling, on the grounds that the children were all born, and what kind of wedding was held, which was too much.
"But you didn't say it was your grandfather's family!" Grandpa is a relative, and it has nothing to do with intimacy, and no matter how far away it is, it should be close.
She looked up and glared at him, "He's not my grandfather!" ”
"Okay, okay, it's not grandpa, it's not grandpa, don't be angry!" Kangxi patted her on the back and coaxed her like a child.
She pressed back to his chest, her fingers drawing circles as if they were nothing.
He grabbed her mischievous hand, "Don't move, let's finish first!" ”
"I don't want to say it!"
"But I want to hear it! You have to let me know the ins and outs, and I know how to deal with it! ”
Treating his wife's relatives is a very particular science, in case it is just a momentary anger, not a deep hatred, people come to the door, but he has a cold face, and he will be fine in the future, isn't it a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
The old man's temper stinks, and it is difficult to turn around if he doesn't like it, which he has to consider, but seeing her so secretive, he thought of a possibility.
"Because...... Your mother's business? ”
Even she thinks that her relationship led to her mother's death, and she suffered from PDST as a result, as her mother's own father would think so, it is also reasonable that her father, if this is the reason, I believe that the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren must be very bad.
He was not worried about bringing up the old things again, and such a tragic old thing would cause the excitement of the old thing, and after so many years, even if she felt guilty, she would not suddenly get sick again.
"If only that were the case!" At least she'll feel better.
"Isn't it?"
She sat up suddenly, and said angrily: "He hates Dad, he has said all the bad things about Dad, he thinks that Dad is a good-for-nothing man, I can't stand him despising Dad so much, he is a stubborn and snobbish old man!" ”
This made Kangxi very surprised, speaking of his father-in-law, although he had never seen it with his own eyes or gotten along, every time he heard him mentioned, he was talking about his heroic deeds.
The former chief instructor of the American Navy SEALs feels awesome when he listens to it, and he was not the chief instructor at first, he was the captain of the forward team, a figure admired and proud by the whole team, with countless meritorious achievements, medals hung all over the wall, and he retreated to the second line for his wife and daughter, and he was a good man who took care of his family.
No matter how such a man looks at him, he is a good son-in-law, how can he make his father-in-law so disgusted?
As for the snobbery mentioned by the Annunciation...... The Navy SEALs are a very important team in the United States, and the salary should not be low, and they can't give a luxurious life, so food and clothing must be enough.
She vented for a while, and turned her head to look at Kangxi, her
Son, she turned her head to look at Kangxi, she didn't mean to hide it, but thought that the Xi family had nothing to do with her for a long time, and she never thought that she would meet it today.
"Do you know the Xi family?" Some things have to be said sooner or later, so it's better to be open and honest today, in case it happens again one day, so that Kangxi can be prepared.
"The Xi family?" Kangxi searched the knowledge base in her brain, and if she asked like this, it showed that this Xi family was very famous.
Soon he thought of it, and his eyes widened immediately.
In the international metropolis of S City, there are many celebrities and rich people, and there are too many rich and powerful people, but there are very few families who are really on the stage and have a background, and there are not only money and power, but also their own family history, and the Wei family is also a celebrity, but compared with these families, it is a copper-smelling businessman.
From ancient times to the present, the so-called wealthy family does not really mean how rich it is, but how many years of history the family has.
For example, Confucius, whose children and grandchildren are all Americans, is no longer Chinese, but in the eyes of Chinese, the Kong family is still a celebrity.
The Xi family is exactly like this.
"皛皛, don't sue me, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs is you......" He coughed, knowing that she couldn't hear the words of her grandfather, so he had to say it differently, "Former Foreign Minister Xi Shiyi is your mother's father?" ”
She nodded happily.
Kangxi turned his head away and buried it in the pillow, he needed to be quiet.
"What are you doing?" She nudged her with a frown.
He looked down and said, "What else can I do?" I'm scared! ”
I never thought that my mother-in-law's identity would be so noble.
She leaned over him and jokingly whispered in his ear, "What? Long live the Lord will also be scared? ”
He turned his head to glare at her.
Aixin Jueluo sounds very beautiful, but there are a few descendants who died well.
The only surviving modern people who can really be regarded as the descendants of Aixin Jueluo have not even kept their surnames, of course, this is also due to historical reasons.
In fact, the last three generations of emperors of the Qing Dynasty, due to the marriage of close relatives, had almost no children, and some died young, so now there are few children and grandchildren.
Their family is one of them, the descendants of Prince Aixin Jueluo Zaifeng, which is recorded by genealogy, but it is not made up nonsense, but now who remembers that his grandfather was also reformed through labor, and it used to be the black five categories that everyone shouted and beaten, and he was locked up for decades, and he was a roadside car repairer after being reformed through labor, which is not worth mentioning.
The surname Aixin Jueluo was not used after the Xinhai Revolution, some were changed to Zhao, some were changed to Luo, and some were surnamed Jin, and their family was surnamed Kang.
There must be four words on the ID card, and the public security bureau will not approve it.
If there is really a descendant of the surname Aixin Jueluo by his side, many people will be surprised at most, and they may think it is cool, but how many people are really respectful, this is not a star and a half difference from the current situation of the Xi family, and there is no comparison at all.
Looking at it like this, he and Xuan Ying were paired, and suddenly there was a kind of bloody plot at eight o'clock.
The Fallen Emperor and the ...... Wealthy ladies.
It's a pity that he, the emperor's grandson, is still a play, and he has climbed high.
He stretched out his hand to fish her back into his arms and kissed her fiercely, "It's not exactly scared, it's more of a sigh, this is in the past, it is absolutely impossible for me and you!" I'm sure I'm the one who secretly broke the dog's leg by your family. This is by no means that he is arrogant, he usually acts like this in TV dramas, his brain turned quickly, and he immediately thought of his parents, "Could it be that my mother-in-law eloped with my father-in-law?" ”
"That's right!"
Really! He guessed the plot accurately.
In order to be on par with her father Xi Shiyi, she worked hard to become an excellent diplomat, majored in languages, proficient in six Chinese languages, and some niche language departments that no one cared about were difficult for her, and those who pursued her from college began to row from the campus gate to the downstairs of the dormitory, or the kind that went around several times.
Although she is a talented and beautiful young lady, she has never revealed that she is Xi Shiyi's daughter, and only one of her classmates in the dormitory for four years knows her identity.
And her father Duanmu Wanjiang is a Chinese-American, immigrated to the United States from his great-grandfather's generation, but he did not forget his roots, still took Duanmu as his surname, and when he named his father, his grandfather also used the word Wanjiang on behalf of thousands of miles to express his love for the motherland, but unfortunately his grandfather died of illness when his father was one year old, and his grandmother was also a Chinese-American, but he was not proficient in Chinese, so that his father was also completely illiterate, and only knew how to pronounce his name, and in his future studies, he had his own English name, The words Duanmu Wanjiang only appear on his passport, except for looking like an Oriental, his lifestyle is no different from that of normal Americans, he is keen on fitness, likes hamburgers, loves rock and roll, and is especially proficient in rugby, and was a star member of the school football team in high school, and his muscles and 198CM size are estimated to have been cultivated at that time.
In fact, when she was a child, she also wondered how the gentle, beautiful and petite mother and the rugged father like a mountain came together, the two are like a realistic version of Beauty and the Beast, the majestic father can blow the mother away with a little fanning the wind, no matter how you look at it, how to match, every time I see my father training a newcomer, he is a wild animal, and the surface can shake three times when he roars, no different from a brown bear, the SEAL team members will subconsciously take a detour when they see him, and they don't even dare to meet him with their eyes, It's a bit thrilling.
But as soon as such a father meets his mother, the wild brown bear becomes a teddy bear, and he doesn't even dare to speak loudly, he will only look at his mother as gently as water, probably afraid that the petite her will tilt her head and say to him
It was too tiring to talk to him, and he would always lift her up directly, and every time he would frighten her into discoloration.
So after watching too much, she is not surprised.
"How did my father-in-law and my mother-in-law meet?" Kangxi was very curious, he had seen a photo of his father-in-law, and the bear-like physique didn't look like a Chinese woman would like it.
"Dad met my mother when he came to China, Dad was already a main member of the SEAL team at that time, and he would choose to travel to China when he was on vacation, he was very curious about China, so he planned to travel all over China, but he was not fluent in Chinese, so he asked the travel agency if there was a good English tour guide."
"This tour guide is the mother-in-law?"
"No, Americans are very frugal when they are young, travel expenses are already a big expense, English tour guides are too expensive, my father can't afford to ask, so he thought of a way, go to the university to find, Americans like to work when they are studying, because they are adults at the age of eighteen, a qiē daily expenses have to rely on themselves, parents will not give pocket money, unless it is a very wealthy family, he thought that China is also like this, so he posted a note in the university to seek an English tour guide, and indicated the contact number, but there is no salary written on it, Just 3 meals, accommodation and tour tickets......"
Kangxi smiled: "Isn't that equivalent to working for a day?" ”
"Well, if there are such conditions in the United States, American college students will think it is very reasonable, and they can travel all over the country without money, which is a very nice thing, but no one cares about it in China, and in the end it is covered by rental advertising."
"And then?"
"My father was a very American-minded person, and he was not discouraged by this, so he began to distribute flyers on campus, but both male and female students were frightened by his majestic physique, except for his mother, who was the only one who took his leaflet, and read it very carefully, and finally pointed out that there was an English word misspelled on his flyer, and he was entangled by his father!"
Kangxi couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha......"
Since ancient times, the martyr has been afraid of pestering her, and it seems that her father-in-law and him are in the same way.
She glared at him, "Don't laugh! ”
"Okay, I'm not laughing, you go ahead and ......"
"At that time, my mother was a sophomore and planned to work in the summer vacation to earn some pocket money, of course, her pocket money was actually a lot, but she was very stubborn and hoped to be the same as ordinary college students, so she didn't ask for any money given by Xi Shiyi, at that time her English was already very good, but she still found some shortcomings, that is, the thinking logic of Americans when they speak, to really integrate a language, not only the number of words, but also to learn the way the country speaks, otherwise just learn, not understand, Maybe it was her father's sincerity that moved her, or maybe she felt that she could learn a lot by traveling with a real American, so she promised her father that she could be his translator during the summer vacation, but the reward was not only three meals, accommodation and tickets, she needed her father to tell her about the United States, human geography, environment, folklore, etc., which may not be in the title of the book. ”
"And they fell in love with each other......"
She smiled, "Destined love!" ”
Every time she heard her mother tell her and her father's love story, she felt that they were really a natural couple, they had the same big hearts, the same love for life, and the same desire to go to every corner of the earth.
Then, this beautiful love was blocked by Xi Shiyi.
Thinking of this, Wanwan's face became gloomy, "In order to prevent my father from staying in China, Xi Shiyi used all his connections to expel him from the country on trumped-up charges, and he was never allowed to enter the country. ”
With Xi Shiyi's status at the time, this was not difficult for him.
"So strict?"
She gritted her teeth, "Yes, at that time, he had already arranged a good family with a fairly high status for his mother, and he could marry his mother as soon as she graduated." ”
"Mother-in-law will not give in."
"Of course, my mother will not give in, she is very rational to negotiate and communicate with her father, but Xi Shiyi refuses to listen at all, he thinks that his mother is still young, but he is just stunned by feelings, locks her at home, and does not even allow her to go to school until her mother is pregnant......"
Kangxi stroked his chin playfully, "It seems that my father-in-law is still very skilled, this child is you?" ”
"It's not me!"
Kangxi was stunned.
"My mother had a miscarriage, the child was not saved, Xi Shiyi drugged the food my mother ate, and arranged a very professional doctor, my mother's body was not harmed, but the injury in my heart was not healed."
This has also become a lifelong pain for her parents.
originally thought that his father was just unacceptable for a while, as long as he tried to convince, it would always be rainy, but he missed that his father was a person who played politics, and he would mercilessly remove anything that was not conducive to him or didn't like it.
This is also the main reason why Xi Shutong finally decided to leave the Xi family.
"In the end, my mother pretended to compromise and agreed to marry the family arranged by Xi Shiyi, but ran away at the wedding."
"She went to the United States?"
"It was smuggled in, because Xi Shiyi is a very shrewd person, and he has the prudence that a political family should have, as long as the wedding is not successful, he will not be completely relieved, and his mother's passport is in his hands."
Kangxi was puzzled, "Mother-in-law is a delicate daughter, how can she have such a way?" ”
"You're going to ask Dad!"
"Huh?" He didn't understand at first, but then it occurred to him that his father-in-law was a member of the Navy SEAL Special Forces, and he often had to carry out top-secret missions, and it was not difficult for him to sneak into the country privately. ”
"That's right!"
Kangxi couldn't help but whistle and give a thumbs up, "Hero." ”
An absolute hero, an American who infiltrated the border of China without permission and was an American who had been deported, was likely to be used as a spy
Treated as a spy, once discovered, either shot or arrested and imprisoned forever, no matter which way it goes, the end is miserable.
"The news that my mother is going to marry someone else has been published, and my father, who has been paying attention to domestic news, will naturally see that he can't bear his mother marrying someone else, so he will behave so recklessly, but fortunately, there are people to help him, my mother has a good college classmate, and she is also the only person in the university who knows her identity, so she hid her mother and father at home, evading Xi Shiyi's pursuit, and when the limelight passed, the two found a way to smuggle to the United States."
I am afraid that the hardships and hard work involved in this cannot be summed up in a few words.
"The law in the United States is quite humane in some ways, and it also helps my mother, as long as she marries her father, she can get the U.S. household registration immediately, so she doesn't have to worry about being a smuggler, and she can be legally born in the United States." ”
"You were born in the United States?" He asked this because he clearly remembered that she went to kindergarten in S City when she was a child, and then went to the United States, otherwise he wouldn't know her.
"Hmmm! I came to S City when I was three years old and lived there for a year! ”
"Huh?" I see!
She explained: "The friend who once helped her mother was very sick and her days were short, and her parents were indirectly killed by Xi Shiyi. ”
"You mean that she helped your mother, and later Xi Shiyi found out?"
"Yes, my mother said that my friend's parents opened a small company, but due to the economic downturn, the benefits were not very good, they owed some debts, and they wanted to get a loan from the bank to get through the sadness, and the bank also evaluated it, thought that there were prospects for development, and approved the loan, but after my mother went to the United States, the bank loan was suddenly suspended, and even the rent of the factory was inexplicably doubled."
Kangxi understood as soon as he heard it, this was not an accident, but someone was secretly playing ghosts.
As for who it is, I'm afraid that there is no second person except Xi Shiyi who can do it.
In order to continue to run the family business, they gritted their teeth and worked hard, but in the end they went bankrupt, and the father of my mother, a friend, could not bear the blow and jumped from the top floor of the factory and died on the spot! Mom was very guilty, because of her relationship, this friend's father committed suicide, her mother died of illness, and she also became ill in order to pay off her debts, if she hadn't met her former classmates in Washington, Mom wouldn't even know about it, so she discussed with her dad that she wanted to go back to take care of this friend, and she didn't want her to leave this world alone. ”
"So, you've been living in S City for a year."
"Well, my mother thinks that learning languages should start from a baby, three or four years old is the best language period, she hopes that I can speak Chinese fluently, not only ABC, and I can't do without her at that time."
Kangxi just wants to thank his mother-in-law in his heart, otherwise he and Yingying may not know each other.
"Xi Shiyi doesn't know?"
"After Americans get married, the wife has to be surnamed her husband's surname, and my mother is the same, when she married her father, she also specially changed her name, and the passport is written as Duanmuton, and after she returned to China, she was also very cautious and didn't go out much, and a year later, my mother's friend died, and my mother and I went back to the United States."
Speaking of which, it is already very clear that Xi Shiyi will hate Xi Shiyi, not just because he said bad things about Duanmu Wanjiang, or because he looked down on him, but more because Xi Shiyi is worthy of being a person who plays politics, and he is vicious enough, even if it is a child in his daughter's belly, he can be ruthlessly eliminated.
Such a person is definitely guilty of a taboo.
"Now you know why I don't like him?"
Not only did he know, but he also understood it very thoroughly, and he patted her back comfortingly, "Okay, don't be angry, it's not worth being angry for this kind of person!" ”
Lying back in the bed, her little face was still angry.
Kangxi had to find a way to divert her attention, lest she make herself angry.
The little bulb is not here today, just right!
So, it was another very ** night......
------Off topic------
Popular science, Prince Alcohol is the half-brother of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty Aixin Jueluo Zaiyan, the father of Emperor Xuantong Aixin Jueluo Puyi, 4 of the 11 children of Prince Alcohol Zaifeng are boys, in addition to the last emperor Pu Yi, there are Pu Jie, Pu for and Pu Ren. Pu Yi had no queen, Pu for 3 years old died young, Pu Jie only gave birth to two daughters, so Pu Ren family became the only incense that Prince Alcohol's family continues to this day.
Well, you get the idea.
Don't dig too deep!
