20. Chapter 020

Perhaps it was Xie Fu's slightly stunned expression, which made people feel strange, and Xia Mingjia carefully raised his head and glanced at her.

"Exactly. You ......"

Don't you remember?

It's only been a long time since I left Shaoxing, and I can't even forget my own father, right?

Of course, Xie Fu didn't forget.

It's just that in her memory, Xie Zongming, the father, is always in a very strange position.

When she was a child, although her mother Gao didn't take care of things, no one in the entire Xie family dared to provoke her, not even Xie Zongming. Since she was a child, she has lived with the Gao family in the Pinghu Courtyard, and rarely sees Xie Zongming. Even if he saw it, he didn't feel that this father was any different from others.

The relationship between father and daughter, to put it mildly, is called "bland", to put it mildly, it is like a stranger.

Earlier, Xie Fu knew that the triennial plan for officials in various places was about to begin, and Xie Zongming naturally had to go to Beijing. As Gao Gong's son-in-law, he must come to visit Gao Gong.

Unexpectedly, she asked the full moon so many times, but they never came, but this time they suddenly appeared in Gaofu.

Xie Fu's heart was a little delicate, and he walked out of the sedan hall, but asked Xia Ming's family: "Are there any others here?" ”

When Xia Mingjia heard this, he hesitated slightly, and carefully whispered back: "There is ......"

Living room.

There is a picture of a tiger roaring high in the hall, two Taishi chairs are placed on each side below, the ground is covered with a magenta rich pattern carpet, and on both sides are two rows of six mahogany circle chairs, which are replaced with new chair covers.

At this moment, Gao Gonggao sat on the chair of the Taishi on the left, drank a sip of hot tea, and then lifted his eyelids to look at Xie Zongming and Xie Rong sitting on the lower left.

Xie Zongming has already passed and is standing, thirty and five, looking elegant, polite, with slender dry lines at the corners of his eyes, two beards on his lips, and a dark blue robe.

Maybe it was because he was not familiar with this powerful old man Gao Gong, Xie Zongming was a little nervous, and when he picked up the tea cup, his hands trembled, and Gao Fu next to him heard the collision between the tea lid and the tea bowl.

Sitting further down was a girl in a lake blue spring shirt, older than Xie Fu, already growing, with a fair complexion, and a little bit of peach lipstick on the small mouth of the cherry, which was as tender as the flower bones of the branches, full and fresh.

She sat on a chair with her legs folded in an orderly manner, and folded her hands in a handkerchief that was placed between her waist and abdomen.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a lovely person raised in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

This is Xie Rong.

Gao Gong looked at her carefully, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

But after all, it was an old fox, and when he spoke, his chaotic mind had already been cleaned up, calm and calm.

"Although there was a flood in Jiangnan, fortunately it did not affect Shaoxing. You have been in office as the prefect of Shaoxing for six years, can you be sure of the re-examination? ”

Foreign officials make a pilgrimage every three years, and this year because of the advance of the exchange of markets with Tatar and other matters, so the officials of the prefectures and counties received the will of Emperor Longqing in April and went to Beijing for the Hajj in May.

This caught many officials off guard.

The person who should have been bribed did not have time to bribe, the relationship that should have been opened was not opened, and the thing that should have been done was not done......

If it is really time to wait for the performance evaluation, I am afraid that I will only wipe my tears with my sleeves and cry non-stop.

Xie Zongming was born as a second-class jinshi back then, but he was unlucky and was not named into Hanlin, and he was released to be the magistrate of the county, just in Huiji.

A few years ago, because the prefect of Shaoxing was bad, Xie Zongming temporarily took the top and replaced him for a period of time, and then he was probably seen that he was doing things in a decent manner, so he simply promoted him to the prefect of Shaoxing, and it has been exactly six years now.

If he is lucky this year and can be rated as "competent", Xie Zongming may be able to go further.

Gao Gong is now the head of the cabinet and holds a lot of power, and now he takes the initiative to talk to him about the performance appraisal, which inevitably makes people think about it.

Suddenly, Xie Zongming also became nervous.

He couldn't help but straighten his waist slightly, and said a little anxiously: "There is no rumor of the big plan. The son-in-law is mediocre and incompetent, and he has not made an inch of merit in office, if it is said to be grasping...... It's really ...... Not a bit ......"

Gao Gong listened, raised his eyes, and happened to meet Xie Zongming's somewhat cautious eyes.

At that moment, he snorted coldly in his heart.

Reaching out and touching the big beard on his chin, Gao Gong said without paying attention: "The court is always fair, and this time the plan is presided over by Zhang Juzheng, although this person always disagrees with my political views, but he also has two brushes in terms of knowing people." Don't worry. No matter how bad it is, it just can't go any further......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The little and the little son-in-law understand ......"

Listening to Gao Gong's words, Xie Zongming only felt that his heart was half cold.

Just now, he deliberately revealed a little embarrassed when he spoke, clearly trying to hint at Gao Gong, whether he could contribute to this matter. But Gao Gong avoided talking about it, and told him that this time it was Zhang Juzheng who was in charge of the overall situation.

Are you kidding?

Who doesn't know that Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong are not on the same page, and Xie Zongming is Gao Gong's son-in-law, so he can have good fruits to eat?

At that moment, cold sweat came out on Xie Zongming's forehead.

Gao Gong looked at it coldly, and he already snorted in his heart.

The events of that year, even if they didn't have a lot to do with Xie Zongming, could be seen about him, and it would inevitably remind him of Qizhu back then.

Qizhu is the name of his daughter and Xie Fu's mother, Gao.

Before Gao's marriage that year, Xie Zongming's room girl was pregnant, and for the sake of the face of the housewife who did not enter the door, how could she have an abortion.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zongming actually gave birth to this child, which was later Xie Rong.

If it weren't for Qizhu's marriage contract and insisting on marrying Shaoxing, Gao Gong would definitely tear the marriage book to shreds and not let his daughter suffer from this idleness!

But what can be done?

He couldn't.

The rights and wrongs of the past flashed from Gao Gong's mind, and finally became the young Xie Fu, the panicked face.

In short, not letting Xie Zongming bid farewell to officialdom and have no hope for his career is already his last mercy.

Gao Gong didn't seem to see Xie Zongming's frightened expression, and said with a smile: "Fu'er went to the Wuyun Tea House in the afternoon, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back for a while, so I have already sent someone to wait, so I think I will have to wait for some time." ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

It's just that......

A girl's house, what tea house does she go to for no reason?

Xie Zongming thought about it, and his face gradually sank.

Xie Rong sat next to her, her palms covered with a thin layer of cold sweat.

Although there are not many conversations between Xie Zongming and Gao Gong, they have already made Xie Rong feel a little cold and dangerous.

She is a concubine, and now she comes to Beijing with her father to visit her mother's mother's house, how can she sit on pins and needles?

Quietly raising her head, Xie Rong saw Xie Zongming's slightly sweaty sideburns.

Gao Gong's gaze was extremely calm, and he took the tea and savored it, as if he did not intend to speak again.

Xie Zongming didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere in the hall was calm.

At this moment, a low voice came from outside the hall: "I've seen Miss." ”

Someone should have come to the front of the hall, and the servants who were waiting outside were greeting him.

Xie Rong was stunned when she heard this, Miss?

Before coming to the capital, she had already inquired clearly, there was only one young lady in Gaofu, and she was still a concubine, and she heard that her name was Gao Miaozhen.

Gao Miaozhen is the only granddaughter of Gao Gong, although she is a concubine, but because of her specialness, I am afraid that she is the most noble storage zΓ i in the entire Gao Mansion, right?

Unconsciously, Xie Rong turned her eyes sideways, wanting to see what this "Gao Miaozhen" looked like.

On the terrazzo floor in the hall, a shallow shadow gradually crept up.

Qingli's shadow finally appeared.

The snow-blue dress swayed gently, with a thin waist and not many embellishments on the body, but it had a light and agile taste.

The pace is not slow, and there is no consciousness that I am a little late.

After entering the door, he only bowed in front of the high arch and said with a smile: "Fu'er is late to come back, please say hello to my grandfather." ”

The voice......

That's how it looks!

At that moment, Xie Rong almost screamed in shock.

The vague eyebrows and eyes gradually began to shed the youthfulness of the year, like a branch that had just been stretched, and it had a straightness that was different from others.

It's none other than Xie Fu!

Xie Rong didn't react for a long time: she didn't dare to admit that this was the little yellow-haired girl back then.

Besides, isn't it a young lady who came?

Xie Fu should be Miss Biao of Gaofu......

Shocked, she subconsciously looked towards the door of the living room, except for Xie Fu, there was only one fat girl dressed as a maid, and she couldn't see the second "Miss".

What about Gao Miaozhen?

What went wrong?

Xie Fu couldn't see her surprise.

Gao Gong waved his hand, and a smile suddenly bloomed on his face, and he suddenly changed from an important minister of the country to a kind old man: "It's good to come back, sit down quickly." What about tea? ”

Turning his head, Gao Gong actually opened up himself.

Gao Fu hurriedly bowed: "The old slave will go and urge." ”

As he spoke, he hurried out.

The expression on Xie Zongming's face stiffened slightly, as if he didn't expect to see such a scene at all.

Xie Fu lost his mother, he lived in the capital, and Gao Gong's love was expected by Xie Zongming, but he never expected that Gao Gong's treatment of Xie Fu would be so fine.

The people up and down the Gao Mansion are not ordinary to Xie Fu.

This kind of cognition made Xie Zongming feel strangely overwhelmed.

Gao Gong smiled and said: "Your father has been waiting for you for a long time, and I haven't seen you for almost three years, so I'm afraid I don't recognize you very much, right?" ”

I don't recognize it very much.

Xie Fu turned his head and glanced at Xie Zongming, he was a well-behaved literati, and there seemed to be no major changes compared to before.

It's the same, it's the same, it's so strange.

Lowering his eyebrows, Xie Fu bowed and saluted: "Fu'er has seen his father." ”

"Fu'er ......"

The voice of the exit was slightly difficult.

should be the closest person in the world, but he is so strange that he doesn't even know what to say.

Xie Zongming stood up, the embarrassment on his body was obvious.

Because of Gao's death, Gao Gong didn't want to see him, and this daughter has never been close to him, but Xie Zongming has a request for Gao Gong, and he can't enter or retreat, so it's really embarrassing.

Xie Rong next to her also stood up a little helplessly and greeted Xie Fu: "Sister, do you remember me?" ”

Xie Fu's black and white eyes turned around and looked at Xie Rong.

The embroidered shoes of the year, the mud dolls, and the irony that Xie Rong put down......

Scene by scene, all replayed in front of my eyes.

The smile on Xie Fu's lips gradually deepened, bright as the sunset outside.

My sister laughed, after so many years, Fu'er has changed a lot, but my sister is still the same as she was back then. How could Fu'er not remember? ”

Xie Rong heard it, Xie Fu's words were hidden with needles and thorns, which really made people uncomfortable.

But now in Gaofu, where do you dare to make a mistake?

Suppressing the unhappiness in her heart, Xie Rong forced a laugh: "It's good that my sister remembers." ”

"Okay, let's all sit down, Fu'er is tired all the way back, right?" Gao Gong looked at the strange atmosphere, came out to make a round, and asked Xie Fu to sit down.

Xie Fu took two steps back and sat down on the first chair on the right hand side of Gao Gong.

The maid came in with tea and put it in Xie Fu's hand.

Xie Fu took a sip of tea, and before he could put it down, he heard Gao Gong ask: "You went to the Wuyun Tea House today, but did you drink any good tea?" ”

Xie Fu shook his head: "Fu'er went to bring his own tea, and he didn't drink half of the tea from Wuyun Tea House." However, if my grandfather is interested, he will only wait for another half a month, and this year's new tea will come out. ”

"Haha, that's great."

Gao Gong listened, and his eyes narrowed with joy.

He wasn't a gentleman, and he didn't like to look in the market, so it would be nice if someone could find something good to eat and drink for him.

Xie Fu is such a character.

As soon as he talked about the Wuyun Tea House, Xie Fu remembered what he had seen when he came back: "Speaking of which, there is another thing, Fu'er wants to talk to his grandfather." ”

"What's the matter?"

Gao Gong didn't care very much, put his hand on the armrest, and looked at Xie Fu.

Xie Fu gently put the teacup aside, and there was a slight noise.

"When I came back from the Wuyun Tea House today, someone mistook Fu'er's sedan chair for your sedan chair, and even stopped the sedan chair to shout injustice. It's an old man who was suspected of stealing by Liu Yidao. Fu'er saw that this old man didn't look like a treacherous person, so he used the token you gave to send Xiao Nan to escort the old man to the court to see what the truth of the matter was. If there is a result in the future, Xiao Nan should come to report it to you. ”

"That's a good thing."

Gao Gong heard this, but he didn't mind.

It's just that the person Xie Fu said aroused Gao Gong's interest: "You said Liu Yidao, but that famous arrester in the capital?" ”

"You know that?" Xie Fu was slightly surprised, "Fu'er also heard that this person is quite capable, Xiao Nan has been in the market for many years in his early years, and he has only praised this person in my ear." How capable is this man? ”

"He's a capable man." touched the beard on his chin, and his eyes showed a bit of appreciation, "In the early years, he was a good hand at investigating cases, and many colleagues in the DPRK and China mentioned it to me. It's a pity, it's a servant. It's too hard to pull it out and use it. ”

"I see."

Xie Fu understood.

But my grandfather didn't have to feel sorry. According to Fu'er, this person's temperament is upright, and it is just right to do the head-hunting investigation, if he changes the soft officialdom, he may not be able to make a little bit of energy? ”

"That's just as well."

Gao Gong knew that Xie Fu had been by his side for many years, and he knew people with his own set, so he must have his own reasoning, so he smiled and nodded.

Xie Zongming next to him listened to Xie Fu's words, but his brows furrowed fiercely.

Without waiting for Gao Gong to change the topic, Xie Zongming opened his mouth.

"Fu'er, in this court, in the market, what are you talking about as a little girl? Your grandfather had his own opinions. ”

There was a hint of rebuke in these words.

Xie Fu was slightly stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Xie Zongming, and sure enough, he saw a little dissatisfaction on his face.

Xie Zongming is a literati and an officialdom, and it is a compulsory lesson to observe words and colors.

Generally speaking, what the superior says, the people below just listen. What's more, Gao Gong is still Xie Fu's elder.

Xie Fu introduced his daughter's family, and it was just enough to meddle in the affairs of the market without authorization, and he also said to Gao Gong that the east and west were a little too out of bounds.

The daughter's family should be like Sister Rong, stay in the boudoir obediently, read the women's ring, and learn the women's rules. What does it look like to be out and about?

Just now, the two ancestors and grandsons talked, and they also hung him aside, which inevitably made Xie Zongming not very happy in his heart, and seized the opportunity to simply reprimand Xie Fu with a few words, so that she could behave more and don't show her teeth and claws in front of Gao Gong.

In Xie Zongming's mind, Gao Gong should agree with his statement.

He put on a strict father's demeanor, raised his head, glanced at the high arch, but his heart chuckled.

Gao Gong's complexion, instead of being clear, became gloomy.

"That Liu Yidao, I have always only heard of his name, but I have not seen him. On the contrary, Fu'er had seen it with her own eyes today. As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and Fu'er has her own reason for speaking. Take 10,000 steps back, you also said that Fu'er is young, what can't you say well? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xie Zongming never expected Gao Gong to turn his head and accuse himself, and he didn't think of a good argument for a while.

It took him a long time before he spoke: "Lord Yue's words are reasonable, it is the son-in-law who is confused, and the son-in-law who is confused." ”

Xie Rong next to her was terrified when she heard it, and she didn't dare to take a breath.

Gao Gong didn't give Xie Zongming a good look.

He turned his head to look at Xie Fu, and saw his granddaughter, who was usually well-behaved, sensible and likable, with her head lowered at this time, and she couldn't see what expression was on her face.

Gao Gong only thought that Xie Fu was wronged, so he became more and more impatient with Xie Zongming.

"All the way from Shaoxing, it can be regarded as tiring and rushing. The Xiwei courtyard at the back of the Gao Mansion has been cleaned out, Gao Fu, you can take your uncle first. ”

"Yes."

Gao Fu walked out and waved his hand at Xie Zongming, who was still sitting on the circle chair, "Uncle, please." ”

Xie Zongming reacted at this time, quickly stood up, and bowed his hand to Gao Gong in fear: "Thank you for your kindness, my son-in-law will retire." ”

Xie Rong also hurriedly got up, followed behind Xie Zongming, and retreated.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Seeing that she was about to exit the flower hall, Xie Rong quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Fu one last time.

The yellow-haired girl of the past sat dignified on the circle chair, steadily, without moving, as if she didn't know that they had left.

Why?

Why can Xie Fu be so lucky?

Xie Rong thought that after the Gao family was gone, she would be able to trample Xie Fu under her feet, but she didn't expect that Xie Fu would be taken back to the capital by Gao Gong.

I haven't seen you for a few years, and Xie Fu has transformed into an unattainable save!

Unconsciously, Xie Rong's gaze suddenly became resentful.

Perhaps sensing such an unkind gaze, Xie Fu frowned, and at that moment, he raised his eyes and was heading in the direction of the door.

Gaze, with gaze.

Bumped into it.

The eyes like a black pool, with a deep texture like glass, and the rich black underneath, like a dark river flowing quietly.

Quiet?

Raging?

These were Xie Fu's eyes, which made Xie Rong feel trembling for no reason.

Fortunately, the last step has already arrived outside the door.

Xie Rong retracted her gaze suddenly, hurriedly lowered her head, turned around with Xie Zongming, went down the steps, and quickly went away.

It wasn't until he walked out ten steps away that Xie Rong came back to his senses from Fang Cai's heart palpitations.

Gao Fu led the way in front, and Xie Zongming and Xie Rong walked a few steps behind.

"The front is the Xiwei Courtyard, when you came, the lord had already asked me to wait for the cleanup, and now it has been properly ......"

As I walked, I introduced the situation of the other courtyard.

Gao Fu's footsteps quickly stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

Xie Zongming stopped, and naturally did not dare to slack off at the henchman housekeeper beside Gao Gong, with a smile on his face, he said, "There is a labor housekeeper." ”

Gao Fu clasped his hands in front of him, and he was also smiling.

"You're welcome. There are servants in the courtyard, and if you have anything to do, just tell them. The old slave has to go back to serve the master, so let Jixiang take you in. auspiciousβ€”"

Gao Fu shouted.

There were two handsome young men standing at the gate of the courtyard, and one of them heard the voice and immediately walked over: "The executive's house." ”

"Come, take my uncle and Miss Cousin in."

"Yes." The little guy named Jixiang bowed, raised a smile towards Xie Zongming, and waved his hand, "Uncle, Miss Cousin, please come here." ”

Xie Zongming said goodbye to Gao Fu and entered the courtyard with Jixiang.

Xie Rong listened to this "Miss Table", and there was always an indescribable awkwardness, as if there was a thorn in her throat.

Seeing that Gao Fu had already come in and left, Xie Rong boldly asked, "Where is your young lady?" Why didn't you see it today? ”

Jixiang is just a small guy in the Gao Mansion who is not very powerful, but he is a little smarter, and he was sent to do this this time.

When he heard this, he was already a little stunned.

"I just heard that Uncle and Miss Cousin have just come out of the hall, didn't you see Miss?"

"Miss?"

Xie Rong was a little confused.

"Yes, it's Miss."

Ji Xiang blinked, not understanding how Xie Rong could ask such a thing.

Hey, that's not right.

Jixiang suddenly slapped his head and "snapped".

"I see."

"What's wrong?" Xie Rong was curious.

Ji Xiang smiled, and said as he walked: "You hit Jiangnan, I'm afraid I don't know, the master said, Miss Fu'er can't be called Miss Table in the house, that is to be beaten." The old man said that the young lady was just like his granddaughter. As for the other lady......"

Naturally, it is Gao Miaozhen.

However, when Ji Xiang thought that he was still grounded, he shivered in his heart and hurriedly stopped his mouth.

Xie Rong felt strange: "Why didn't you say it?" ”

Ji Xiang smiled a little reluctantly, he then remembered the identities of Xie Zongming and Xie Rong, mother, I don't have a doorkeeper on my mouth, and sooner or later I will have to put my little life into it.

Can you offend the young lady for two people who came to the capital for a period of time for a while? It's not worth it!

Ji Xiang immediately cleverly changed the subject: "There's nothing to say. The place has arrived, you please. ”

With a wave of his hand, Jixiang got out of the way.

As soon as Xie Rong saw this, she knew that she should be speechless.

It's just that the few words she heard just now were enough for her to tremble.

Xie Fu......

Xie Fu......

When I arrived in the capital, I didn't even allow anyone to call me "Miss Table".

For a while, Xie Rong really didn't feel good in her heart.

Why is she?

Here, Jixiang sent the person, arranged the matter, and went to Gao Fu's side to say goodbye.

Gao Fu said: "You didn't say anything stupid, did you?" ”

Ji Xiang chuckled in his heart: "No, no, that is, Miss Biao asked Miss about it, and said a few words casually, it doesn't matter." ”

It's good that I didn't say much, otherwise I would have died.

Jixiang was very happy in his heart.

Gao Fu stood outside the hall and nodded: "Cheng, then you can go, if there is anything wrong, come and report it earlier." ”

"Auspicious and saved, you can rest assured."

Ji Xiang saw that Gao Fu didn't pursue it, and put a heart back in his stomach, bowed neatly, and hurriedly retreated.

Gao Fu looked at his back, thinking of the father and daughter just now, and felt quite disdainful in his heart.

Turning around and entering the hall, he saw Gao Gong and Xie Fu sitting there, neither of them talking much.

"Master, the people have already arranged it."

"Hmm." Gao Gong responded, his eyes showed a little thought, as if he was thinking about something, "It's quiet over there, it's good to eat and drink." After all, he is a foreign official, so we have to pay attention to the degree. ”

Now that the party competition in the cabinet is becoming more and more fierce, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are becoming more and more inconsistent, if something happens at this juncture, Gao Gong can cut off the skin of this son-in-law.

Gao Fu knew the severity and responded one by one.

He was doing things, and Gao Gong was also relieved, so he turned his head to look at Xie Fu: "Fu'er is not happy in her heart?" ”

Xie Fu sat next to her for a long time, and she saw Xie Rong's eyes even more clearly when she went out.

Since ancient times, Xie Rong and her mother think very highly of themselves, and they gave birth to Xie Rong before Gao's entry into the door, and slapped Gao's face for no reason. Although the Gao family doesn't care, it doesn't mean that the maids and mothers-in-law that the Gao family brought from the capital don't mind.

No matter how you say it, it is also from Gaofu, and it is categorical that Xie Rong and her mother can't make it better.

As a result, Xie Rong and her mother held a grudge, Xie Fu naturally saw that their mother and daughter were unhappy when they were young, and they always bullied others, so that Xie Rong had a hard time.

Of course, Xie Rong hated herself like this.

It's a pity that everyone in the world talks about the rules, if she hadn't given birth to Xie Rong before the Gao family entered the door and shrank up obediently, she wouldn't have suffered as much as later.

Xie Fu remembered one thing after another when he was a child, and the expression on his face was very calm, without smiling or worrying.

"There is no right or wrong in the affairs between the concubines, but the world has its own rules. I'm my mother's daughter, your granddaughter, and you ask me if I'm happy......"

After a pause, Xie Fu's eyes suddenly narrowed, and the corners of his mouth curved.

"That's not the right question."

Gao Gong was slightly surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

Isn't she upset in her heart?

Even if he saw Xie Zongming's virtue and wanted to drive him out, how could Xie Fu not be disgusted?

Xie Fuwan smiled: "Shouldn't you ask, are they happy?" ”

When she is not happy, naturally some people are even more unhappy.

After all, she is the strong side, she is not happy, how good can Xie Rong and Xie Zongming be?

Hearing Xie Fu ask like this, Gao Gong was stunned for a long time before he sorted out the twists and turns in it.

If you think about it, isn't that so?

At that moment, all the worries in Gao Gong's heart were swept away by this sentence, and he grabbed his messy beard and laughed: "Okay, good, think like this, you have to be happy, hahaha......"

Xie Fu looked at his snow-white beard, and suddenly thought in his heart: Maybe it's time to give him a beard clip, so that the beard won't fly all over his face.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the front of the steps, casting patches of beautiful shadows.

The golden red color of the sky, like a splashed dye, is intense and freehand.

Outside Gaofu in Xixin Hutong, there is a lively street, which faces south along the street, and passes through two alleys, which is another wide avenue.

This is the most densely populated street in the capital.

On both sides of the street, the mansions lined up can be said to be either rich or expensive, and they are extremely magnificent.

Among them, the most magnificent is the Gu Anbo Mansion at the east end of the street.

There are two mighty stone lions squatting at the door, and the bells hanging around the lion's neck are all golden, and it is said that someone has taken a bite, which is really golden.

Gu'anbo is rich, especially rich.

The decoration of the whole mansion can be called magnificent, the corridor waist is mangyback, the eaves teeth are pecked high, all the way through the wall, around the corridor, into the main house, it is a dazzling array of furnishings.

There are all kinds of jade treasures on the Duobao Pavilion, and the largest piece of jade is enough to have a large head, polished smooth, and crystal clear.

A fat hand wearing a Hetian blue jade wrench reached over and carefully wiped off the dust that did not exist on it.

"Ouch, my darling, I really like you......"

Chen Jingxing, the grandfather of the country, has a small beard on his chin, white and fat, with a big oily belly, wearing a brocade robe, and his two small eyes are firmly staring at the jade bi on the throne of the Duobao Pavilion.

After wiping the jade bi clean, a look of satisfaction on his face bordered on drunkenness.

This is his favorite piece of jade, and if he doesn't touch it ten or eight times a day, he always feels that something is missing in his heart.

"Master, master, the prince is back!"

The little guy outside ran back sweating profusely, and he didn't even breathe.

Chen Jingxing snorted, but his eyes didn't move back from the jade: "This kid, I finally know that I'm back." But it's too late to know the mistake, and his mother already knows. Looking back, I don't think he's skinned with cramps! ”

"Daddy!"

Far away, before the people came in, the voices had already entered.

Chen Wang's footsteps were hurried, and he rushed in from outside the house like a burning buttocks, his face was full of red light, and his eyes were burning: "Dad, I have something to tell you!" ”

Yo, what's going on?

Chen Jingxing couldn't help but look back, and when he saw the excited expression on his son's face, he couldn't help but think: How many millions of silver have you picked up on the road?

"What's the matter?"

Chen Wang "brushed" and shook off his robe, and knelt down directly for Chen Jingxing.

Thinking of what he saw in the tea house today, his heart still can't be calm.

"Dad, go and help me propose!"

"Propose?" Chen Jingxing's eyes widened, but then he was pleasantly surprised, "Which girl did you finally fall in love with?" You said, as long as you are a daughter of a good family, your father will definitely help you marry back! ”

How many years!

His son is not young anymore, but his eyelids are not shallow, and ordinary girls don't look down on them, and they always love to go to the star building to mess around. His mother didn't know how many times she had been killed, but she didn't use it.

This time, I heard Chen Wang say that he had taken a fancy to the master, and Chen Jingxing's heart was not to mention how happy he was.

He couldn't even bother to wipe the jade bi, and looked at Chen Wang expectantly.

"Quick, say, which girl?"

Chen Wang also felt that his heart was hot, he never thought that he would be planted on a woman so easily.

But this woman is different from other women.

Although it was only one side, he expected: he fell in love with Xie Fu at first sight!
