11. On the wife as a husband
As soon as Xie Jinzhi and Han Yunqian sneaked back to Qingyao Pavilion, they were blocked by Xie Jinzhi who was guarding the door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Father, why are you here so late?" Xie Qingyao smiled weakly.
Xie Jinzhi ignored her, his sharp gaze swept towards Han Yunqian like a sword, and said unceremonously: "Han Shizi has been away from Beijing for three years, and he really has a long ability, and he even did the thing of abducting girls at night!" β
"Thank you, sir!" Han Yunqian smiled bitterly, but he didn't quibble: "The junior is ridiculous, please forgive me." β
"You know you're ridiculous? If you really have the ability to take people away, it's fine, but, look at your current appearance, don't tell the old man that you went out to spend the moon before the moon. Say, did you go out to kill someone, or did you set it on fire? β
Doesn't seem to be the point of the matter? Han Yunqian suddenly understood where Xie Qingyao's weird nature came from.
"Father, Han Shizi, it's windy here, do you want to go into the house to talk?" Xie Qingyao added fuel and vinegar to the side, as if he was afraid that the fire between the two would not burn strong enough: "Tonight, we didn't just kill people and set fires, we didn't do such elegant things as Hua Qianyue and the moon." Come to think of it, Han Shizi should have a stomach in his heart now, and he wants to talk to you alone. β
"You come with me!" Xie Jinzhi was really even more angry, glared at Han Yunqian, turned around and walked towards the door.
"Han Shizi, please get on the road!" Xie Qingyao smiled and made a "please" gesture, with a gloating look.
Han Yunqian's temper was surprisingly good at this time, and he didn't care about Xie Qingyao's prickly kind words at all, but said with a concerned face: "Yaoyao, it's cold at night, you should rest early, tomorrow morning, I will definitely go to see you!"
"Okay, Qing Yao is waiting. If Han Shizi still has tomorrow. Xie Qingyao lowered her voice: "You just pretend, big-tailed wolf!" β
Early the next morning, Xie Qingyao really didn't see Han Yunqian. This kid must have been cleaned up by his father yesterday. She bet the two men must have done it yesterday. Judging from the current situation, his father should not hate Han Yunqian very much, otherwise, he must be happy to let his palm pearl visit Han Shizi's embarrassing moment.
But immediately after, news came from the Li family. Because the prince of Han Wang and the prince of An returned to the imperial capital, His Majesty set up a banquet in the palace to catch the wind for the two princes.
Of course, for ministers, on such occasions, only the children and the main family are eligible, and the royal family and the royal family do not have to abide by this rule. In this way, there are only two people who can go, Xie Qinghua and Xie Qingyao.
"Murong Jin, the prince of King An, is back?" When she heard the news, Xie Qingyao was very surprised.
Murong Jin is the emperor's nephew and a famous little overlord in the imperial capital. Three years ago, the prince of Han returned to the fiefdom, and the prince of King An killed one of his father's concubines by mistake, and was sent to Qingfeng Mountain by his father to "cultivate his body".
In his previous life, Murong Jin came back a year later today, and as soon as he came back, he was ordered to go to Qingcheng for disaster relief where the flood occurred.
"Okay, there are not many daughters in our Xie Mansion, and in the Mansion, there are only two unmarried people, Qing Yao and Qing Shu." In the main room, Li looked at the children who came to ask for peace and said.
"This is my niece, your cousin, Wanyu!" Li Shi pointed to a brightly dressed girl beside him, "Wanyu has just come to the imperial capital and has never entered the palace, Qingyao and Qingshu have to take care of your cousin." β
Li Wanyu stood beside the Li family, stood up at this time, and said generously: "Wanyu has seen cousins, cousins and cousins!" β
Li Wanyu is a girl with a bright appearance, different from Xie Qingyao's intimidating arbitrariness and willfulness in her appearance, her brightness and gentle temperament are very easy to attract the attention of men, and it also echoes the current standards for housewives to choose daughters-in-law.
The Li family is not from the imperial capital, but after marrying Xie Jin, the identity of the Li family also rose with the tide, and they moved from the remote Jing'an County to the imperial capital and became an imperial businessman. Several children of the Li family, Xie Qingyao, had seen each other in their previous lives, but Li Wanyu, a cousin, had never appeared. It's really strange that the Li family still hides such a beauty!
"Mother rest assured, the child will take good care of Cousin Wanyu!" Xie Qinghua's cheeks flushed, and he took the lead to speak.
"Wanyu, thank you, big cousin!" Li Wanyu smiled and saw Xie Qingshu and said, "My daughter will also get along well with her cousin." β
Come on, Xie Qingyao is left without expressing his position.
Li's depression yesterday has not disappeared, so he was too lazy to deal with Xie Qingyao, and said: "Yesterday, my husband and I agreed that there are fewer children in the house and even fewer concubines. So, he's going to put Qingshu and Qingchen under my name. Qingchen, Qingshu, in the future, you will be the concubines and daughters in the house, if you have no opinion, this morning, you will follow me into the palace. β
When Xie Qingshu heard this, her body trembled, and her eyes were full of surprise. Xie Qingchen's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't seem surprised at all.
Xie Qinghua's performance was even more obvious, his eyes looked at Xie Qingchen who was light and breezy on the side, and squeezed out an ugly smile: "Congratulations to the second brother!" β
Xie Qingchen smiled faintly, like a clear breeze in the moon: "Thank you, big brother!" β
Xie Qingyao also smiled and said, "Congratulations to the second brother, in the future, the second brother will be closer to Qingyao." You're on the verge of breaking through to a three-star samurai, aren't you? In the future, we can also learn more! β
"Thank you Yaoyao!" Xie Qingchen directly shouted the word "Yaoyao", which was used by his father. The Li family has always only called her "Qingyao", and Xie Qinghua is even more absolute, he even shouts by name and surname, without missing a word. Oh, now there is another Han Yunqian, who is used to shouting "little fox".
"Alright, let's go back to their rooms and change their clothes!" Li Shi looked disturbed, and waved his hand to signal the children to disperse: "An hour later, we will enter the palace!" β
Everyone slowly withdrew, Li Wanyu was very interested in Xie Qingyao, and wanted to talk to her several times, but Xie Qingyao followed Xie Qingchen vigorously and talked about things in her cultivation at length, which made a few girls who didn't know martial arts confused.
Xie Qinghua didn't bother to pay attention to this pair of unpleasant younger siblings, and came to Li Wanyu's side, talking clumsily about the personnel in the imperial capital and the rules of the palace, clearly looking like a young man's heart.
Li Wanyu has done a lot of politeness, and her speech and demeanor are also like everyone's style, but there is no sign of motivation at all. Obviously, Xie Qinghua is clearly unrequited love.
"I heard that the prince of Han Wang is sixteen years old this year, and the prince of King An is eighteen years old this year, and the two princes have not yet decided to marry! His Majesty summoned them back to the imperial capital this time, but did they mean to marry? Xie Qingyao glanced at Li Wanyu, lowered her voice and said to Xie Qingchen.
"It's just the prince of King An, but this prince of Han, I'm afraid that His Majesty won't be able to be the master."
"I heard that the son of King Han is like a jade tree, and it is rare to see a good Erlang!" Xie Qingyao said with a look of longing: "I really don't know which girl he will fall in love with." β
Li Wanyu glanced at Xie Qingyao and Xie Qingchen without a trace.
"Ahem, Yaoyao thinks about this, isn't it too early?" Xie Qingchen couldn't help but choke and said, "I heard that the third princess has been waiting for the prince of Han for three years. This time, His Majesty should also want to choose a colt for her! β
"Will the Murong clan marry with the Han Palace?" Xie Qingyao didn't scruple at all: "Unless the sun comes out of the west, or one of them won't live long." β
"However, there is a princess staring at it, and there are very few people who dare to marry their daughter to the Han Wangfu." Xie Qingchen smiled and analyzed, "Usually, Princess Han and Princess Shi are selected from the fiefdom of King Han's Mansion, and this time, it should be no exception." β
At this time, Li Wanyu stumbled on her feet and almost fell, Xie Qinghua quickly helped her, and her face turned even redder.
"Doesn't my eldest brother have a fiancΓ©e?" Seeing this, Xie Qingyao's tone was a little disdainful.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Li Wanyu suddenly seemed to have been stung by a scorpion, hurriedly pushed Xie Qinghua away, and followed Xie Qingshu away.
Xie Qinghua lost the favor of the beauty, and rushed to Xie Qingyao with anger.
"The girl's family, don't you feel unseemly to talk about marriage so blatantly? Second brother, you are the elder brother, and you don't know how to persuade Xie Qingyao a little. She's messing around, and you're messing around too! β
Xie Qingchen rarely replied: "What Yaoyao said is the truth!" If someone dares to do it, are they still afraid that people will not be able to say it? Cousin Wanyu is also an unmarried girl's family, since the eldest brother is engaged, he should know who can touch it, and who can't even think about it! β
Xie Qinghua's face turned blue with anger, but Xie Qingyao added: "The future eldest sister-in-law is the daughter of the general's family, I heard that her skills and qualifications are not worse than that of the eldest brother, and my father has always praised her." I think that if she wants to settle accounts with you, the person that her father will defend will definitely not be the eldest brother. After all, he has always believed that the strong are kings, and at home is no exception! This is a man who can't even beat his own daughter-in-law......" Xie Qingyao deliberately lengthened her voice and teased: "Then you can only be a wife and a husband!" β
In the distance, Li Wanyu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this dispute. Realizing that this was not good, she hurriedly covered her mouth again.
"Don't worry, cousin, they've always been like this!" Xie Qingshu said uncomfortably: "My father has always loved my sister the most, and my sister has always liked to be unconventional when she speaks, and she is not willing to follow the rules. β
Hearing the sarcasm in Xie Qingshu's tone, Li Wanyu smiled slightly: "Actually, I think that Cousin Qingyao is also good." If a man doesn't have the ability to work hard, it's not bad to be a virtuous helper for his wife! β
Xie Qingshu was stunned.
