Chapter 148
Although Yan Xiu didn't want to see Xie Guozhang now, he vaguely felt that Xie Guozhang came to talk to him about Yan Zhaoning at this time, and it must be inseparable from the Gong family, Yan Xiu didn't want to see him, but he had to see him.
In the flower hall, Yan Xiu saw Xie Guozhang, not surprisingly behind Xie Guozhang, but also saw the enchanting Gong, I saw her standing behind Xie Guozhang with low eyebrows, serving carefully, even after so many years, she was still humble like a little maid in front of Xie Guozhang, and never let Xie Guozhang feel oppressed, Yan Zhaohua, who followed Yan Xiu and entered the door together, suddenly understood a little why Gong had been able to gain a firm foothold in the Dingguo Mansion for so many years, may have a lot to do with Xie Guozhang's inability to find confidence in front of Liu's family, Liu's good background, high means, and the remediated Guogong Mansion is obedient and obedient, even Xie Guozhang, the Guogong, may not be able to completely straighten his waist and speak in front of her, and Xie Guozhang is not the kind of person who is motivated, over time, he naturally likes to be close to gentle and petty gentle women more, Gong Shi sees through this, so, no matter when, he can bow down in front of Xie Guozhang and be small, sensible and talking, The coaxing Xie Guozhang erased all the small mistakes for her and spoiled her wholeheartedly.
Yan Xiu saluted Xie Guozhang, Gong's rules and regulations were sideways, not daring to accept Yan Xiu's courtesy, Yan Zhaohua also followed Yan Xiu, and there was no special intimacy with Xi Γ n, anyway, Xie Guozhang had long lost his good impression of her, and she didn't have to pretend anymore, Xie Guozhang swept Yan Xiu's father and daughter while drinking tea, only felt that the father and daughter looked more and more alike, and they were all obedient on the surface, but in fact, they had secretly planned for the past two years, and they seemed to be rising, which made him feel pressure.
"Get up. Sit. β
Xie Guozhang waved his hand, making Yan Xiu and Yan Zhaohua stand up straight. Xie Guozhang put down the teacup for a long time, and saw that Yan Xiu was still standing at the bottom, and he was quite satisfied, he sat on the main seat by himself, and the position next to him naturally couldn't let Yan Xiu sit, so he was proud, so he raised his hand and pointed to the position of the lower head on the right side, and let Yan Xiu sit down, as if he was in charge.
Yan Xiu is accustomed to this kind of Xie Guozhang, and Yan Zhaohua is also calm, in her opinion, the older Xie Guozhang gets, the more afraid he is of losing his majesty, so he will be so strong in these details, Yan Xiu will not worry about such trivial matters with him.
"I don't know why my father-in-law came here in his busy schedule?"
Xie Guozhang waited for Yan Xiu to open his mouth to ask, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "I heard some things, that is, about ......" Xie Guozhang also seemed to be a little embarrassed, but after glancing at the Gong family standing next to him, he continued to speak: "About Sister Ning." Sister Ning has also reached the age of discussing relatives, although she is a little immature, but since the opportunity has come, it is good not to miss it. β
Yan Xiu's hand knocked on the chair and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what opportunity my father-in-law is talking about?" β
"Don't sell it to me, it's the mighty prince Tan Xiaozhi, I've heard about it, since Sister Ning and Tan Shizi have the same heart, the two families are naturally better, don't you think so?"
Yan Xiu was so angry by Xie Guozhang's words that his nostrils were a little smoky, and he wasn't sure how much Xie Guozhang knew for a while, so he looked at Aunt Gong behind Xie Guozhang, endured his temper, and replied with a smile to Xie Guozhang:
"This ...... This is not something that I can do if I say it is suitable, the prince of the Mighty Houfu, in the future, it will be to attack the Mighty Houfu, not that I can do it by saying three or two words. Besides, the father-in-law should know a little about the affairs of the Mighty Houfu and the Changning Houfu, but I am afraid that the matter of Sister Ning and Tan Shizi will not be easy to promote. β
Xie Guozhang still wanted to speak, but was blocked by Yan Xiu raising his hand, only to hear Yan Xiu continue:
"Father-in-law, Sister Ning's matter, I won't bother you, to be honest, that girl has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and she has made an unforgivable mistake in recent days, after a while, I plan to send her to the family temple, what the child did, let me be disappointed and sad, not to mention the family affairs of the mighty Houfu, it is other people's families, I don't dare to marry her, so, this matter, I just haven't heard of it, father-in-law, please take back this meaning."
Xie Guozhang and Aunt Gong glanced at each other, Aunt Gong was also surprised, walked out from behind Xie Guozhang, smiled at Yan Xiudui and said: "Master Hou, look at what you said so strictly, the third lady is only fourteen years old this year, she has made a big mistake, and she shouldn't be sent to the family temple, not to mention, the grandfather also found such a good family business for her, Master Hou, did you say?" β
Yan Xiu had good words for Xie Guozhang, because he was a son-in-law, but Aunt Gong was not worthy of Yan Xiu's gentle words, and immediately shot back: "I don't know, I'm a first-class member of the imperial court, and I need an aunt to teach me?" β
Aunt Gong's face turned blue, but she didn't confront Yan Xiu, but took a step back, continued to bow her head and stood behind Xie Guozhang, with a forbearance look, in Xie Guozhang's eyes, it was not distressed, but she felt that Yan Xiu was too bad for herself, who didn't know that Gong was his favorite concubine, not to mention anything else, just for this point, he couldn't talk to Gong like this, slapped the table, and said angrily:
"What's your attitude? She's not qualified to teach you, am I qualified? β
Yan Xiu looked at Xie Guozhang and lowered his head, but he didn't dare to have a hard top with him, Xie Guozhang snorted and said:
"The son doesn't teach, the father's fault, what big mistake did she make to let you send her to the family temple? I don't care what is wrong, I am in charge of this marriage between her and the mighty prince! β
Regarding Xie Guozhang's unreasonable words, Yan Xiu also expressed his position:
"Father-in-law, this matter is not something you say you will do, even if you force me, it is impossible for me to propose marriage to the Tan family for that shameless girl."
In Yan Xiu's opinion, didn't the Gong family bring Xie Guozhang to let him go and propose marriage to the Tan family? Yan Xiu is not so stupid, how can he be led by the nose by an aunt? But what Yan Xiu didn't expect was that this time he guessed wrong.
I only heard Xie Guozhang glaring at him and said, "Who said that you want to go?" I'll do this, I've already said it on the Tan family's side, and Tan Cheng and his wife have agreed to it, and now it's just to be your lobbyist for them, no matter what aspect of this matter, I think it's very good, and the two children are also a good match, although Sister Ning is a third girl, but she is soft by nature, gentle and graceful, such a woman marrying someone is really worry-free, unlike the kind of self-righteous woman, who married someone else's family, and will be a disaster in the future, not liked by her husband's family. β
Needless to say, Xie Guozhang's sentence The self-righteous woman's words must be Yan Zhaohua, after she bumped into him in the Guogong Mansion last time, she made Xie Guozhang hate her, coupled with the later Gong Ruquan incident, Xie Guozhang really felt that her female baby was too much to do, the source of a contradiction, so, since then, he has been picking his nose and eyes at Yan Zhaohua, and he has not seen anything in his eyes, Yan Zhaohua is a little crying and laughing, her grandfather, is really getting older and more confused, this kind of talk comes easily, I really haven't considered the weight of this word, Yan Zhaohua thinks it's nothing, anyway, she has heard it in the last life, no matter how ugly it is, let alone such innocuous wordsγ
Xie Guozhang is really funny, Yan Zhaohua thought to himself, he can't stand the strength of others, but he is very strong to others, and there is a sense of prosperity and death of those who go against me.
Therefore, even if Yan Zhaohua knew that Xie Guozhang's words were herself, she was also nose and eye, standing behind Yan Xiu, being an old monk and entering the state, unmoved, however, Yan Xiu was a little excited, firstly because of Xie Guozhang's criticism of his eldest daughter, and secondly, because of Xie Guozhang's strength, or that sentence, in the past, he was messing around under Xie Guozhang's hands, and Xie Guozhang could be at his mercy to him, but now, he has mixed his head, but Xie Guozhang is still unconscious, and still wants to use the strong means he used to control him. This made Yan Xiu feel very unhappy.
Said:
"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by the Tan family, you have already said it? Sister Ning is the third lady of Changning Houfu and my daughter, how can you cross me and be the master for me and Sister Ning? It's hard for me to do this. β
Xie Guozhang squinted at Yan Xiu: "What? The wings are stiff, and I can't be the master of this little thing? β
"Forget about other things, but this matter is not trivial, it really shouldn't be the father-in-law's decision, and ask the father-in-law to take back his life." Yan Xiu was already angry, and Yan Zhaoning was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen and lungs were messed up, how could he bear Xie Guozhang's unmeasured interference.
Xie Guozhang slapped the table again and said sharply:
"What else? I see you're just getting less and less of me. Last time I went back to the Xie family's second room Sister Chang'er, I won't care about you, I warned you at that time, even if you are a person now, but don't forget who promoted you in the first place, if there is no me, can you Changning Houfu have today? This time, I have already pulled down my old face and dealt with it for you, and the Tan family has also pressed me down, do you want to come and dismantle my platform now? I sue you, there is no door! This thing has to be done as I say! You have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don't! β
Yan Xiu was provoked by Xie Guozhang to stand up, and was about to step forward, but was pulled by Yan Zhaohua from behind, Yan Zhaohua stepped forward and said:
"Grandfather's anger, it's about Sister Ning's lifelong happiness, my father is inevitably impulsive, please don't mind."
Although Yan Zhaohua is a junior, his identity is by no means comparable to that of an aunt, so although Xie Guozhang doesn't want to see her speak, he can't say Yan Zhaohua like Yan Xiu said Gong, besides, he also felt that what he said just now was a bit heavy, Yan Xiu's face became iron-blue, it can be seen that he was not lightly stimulated, at this time Yan Zhaohua came out to play a round, but it could also ease the conflict a little, Xie Guozhang leaned back in the chair, glared at Yan Xiu angrily, and replied to Yan Zhaohua:
"Hmph, saying so much is just to make you don't forget your roots!"
