In the morning, the sky was clear, but in the afternoon it rained.

Tillian looked at the swaying curtain of the car attentively, thinking about today's conversation with Yunhou.

Yunhou, the old man, has really lived a fine life, and now in this chaotic season, he wants to mention such a mention at this time, which makes her feel very regretful if she is not allowed.

The most taboo at the moment is to find someone to form an alliance, but compared to taboo, she is more eager to expand the power in her hands, with the help of the power of the Yun family, she can simply make her Qingyun go all the way to a shortcut, but if she survives this storm and wants to get out again, it will be difficult.

Tilian only felt pain in her forehead, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her eyebrows.

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves outside the car, she turned her head slightly, stretched out her hand to lift the window, and the cool rain hit her fingertips, and Tillian couldn't help but shiver.

Xie Hengxu had originally returned from the Gyeonggi camp, and when he saw her carriage, he naturally followed, his eyes met, and he smiled brightly and bent slightly on the horse.

"Where did you go again?"

The clear eyes were slightly warm, and Tilian said slowly, "It's just in time, I have something to tell you." ”

In the box on the third floor of 'Diners' Fun, Xie Hengxu sat on one end of the soft couch, staring at Tilian who was lying on the other end with her forehead and her eyelids drooping.

"You ought to consult with me on this matter before answering him."

"I consulted with you, and I replied to him the same."

"Lian'er, you are not such a person who gets carried away by some interests, we should respond to all changes without moving, Yunhou came to the door at such a sensitive time, it is really unsettling."

"Years of hard work, when it comes to the current tension, I will not take risks without all certainty, the Yun family has extended an olive branch, is to make our cooperation clear, which can make my preparation rich and galloping, before the possible disaster has not come, I need to reduce the loss of the ending as much as possible."

"The back road paved in the past few years is enough to get out of the way, and we don't need to take such a risk to gamble a big game. Such an alliance has gains and losses, and if it is affected by the Yun family at that time, the back road prepared will be in vain. ”

"That's not right." , Di Lian shook her head slightly, her moon eyes were as bright as a mirror, "I always feel that the power of the Yun family is not only known by the world, and that black jade should have other unexpected uses." ”

"Lian'er." , Xie Hengxu's expression was stern, "Whether what you expected is right or wrong, unknown things can't be counted in the back road." ”

Glancing at him sideways, Tilian said quietly, "Don't worry, I have tried several ways to get out, once the east wind rises, if one doesn't work, you can change to another way, and the alliance with the Yun family I have calculated the worst outcome, and I won't tie my hands and feet." ”

After a moment of silence, Xie Hengxu sighed and said with a light smile, "Since you have decided, let's do what you think." ”

Hearing this, Di Lian's eyes softened, and then she thought of something, and hesitated, "Yun Shili, although he is allowed to read all the account books of the Yun family, but we can't show him those in the Ming world, so we don't have to show him them." ”

Xie Hengxu smiled, his smile was like Qingyang, "Yunhou is so sincere, you are still covering it up, isn't it too kind." ”

With her chin slightly raised, Tillian said disapprovingly, "If the ink jade I expected is strange, then he is not hiding it from me." The alliance is one thing, we have not been able to trust to the point of handing over the hole cards, everything is left behind, it has always been our way of doing things. ”

Xie Hengxu nodded, and then his eyebrows moved and changed his words, "Grandfather's body has been even worse recently." After speaking, his face was worried and weak.

The moon's eyes darkened, Tillian pursed her lips, her grandfather is also old now, when he was young, he relied on his body to go in and out of the battlefield and did not care about small injuries and pains, and at this age, the old diseases accumulated in the past came together, and the illness came like a mountain, but the powerful Rong Guogong was lying on the bed for several months.

Looking at him sideways, Tillian said in a low voice, "Isn't there a cure for the Imperial Doctor's order?" ”

Xie Hengxu shook his head, "No matter how good the medical skills are, they are no longer as weak as people's bodies, seeing that they have survived more than one day at a time, my grandmother is worried and anxious, as if she is several years old." ”

Sitting up, Tilian stayed at the house, frowning and saying, "When I arrived at the house a few days ago, my grandmother was still in good spirits. ”

Seeing that she was anxious, Xie Hengxu also got up, "You don't have to worry too much, grandmother and grandfather have known each other for decades, and they have fought through ups and downs together, her old man is clear in her heart, even if she is grandfather, grandmother will not leave her children and grandchildren behind." ”

Without listening to him, Tillian hurried out the door, "Let's go back to the Gongfu." ”

Xie Hengxu finally didn't say anything, and the two left the 'Diners' and went to the Guogong Mansion.

got off the carriage and went straight to the 'Rongshou Ju', the people in the house bowed down and bowed their heads, there were maids who opened the curtains, Tillian stepped in first, a few steps to the inner room, and saw Mrs. Xie on the soft couch by the window, dressed in simple clothes and leaning towards the sky, and several daughters-in-law of the Xie family around her were serving.

Everyone was stunned when they saw her come in suddenly, and Mrs. Xie smiled lightly, "You girl, it's surprising that you came so silently and speechlessly." ”

As soon as her eyes touched her pale sideburns, Di Lianyue's eyes dimmed slightly, but she said with a smile on her face, "I miss my grandmother, so I came, can't Lian'er miss my grandmother?" ”

Sitting on the edge of the soft couch, Tilian smiled brightly and looked at Mrs. Xie carefully, the excellent appearance of Ping Suli was washed off under the eyes, and the marks on the tails of the eyes and lips were so obvious, as if she was ten years old.

Mrs. Xie smiled warmly, raised her hand and stroked her cheek, "Grandmother wishes you would come over every day." After a pause, he withdrew his hand and looked at her lovingly, "I heard about yesterday's events, and Lian'er should avoid showing up like this in the future, even if the shop is burned down, and my grandmother will rebuild another one for you." ”

Tillian pursed her lips and said arrogantly, "When you are too big, you want to gnaw at the old?" Don't be laughed to death yet. Besides, I would not give someone else a favor? ”

Mrs. Xie smiled and stretched out her finger and pointed at her eyebrows, "You, you, you will suffer sooner or later if you are so competitive, it depends on where you cry." ”

"Suffer?" , Tilian raised her eyebrows and raised her chin, "The only person in this world who can make Lian'er willing to suffer is her grandmother." ”

Mrs. Xie was amused by her, and others smiled when they saw it.

After laughing, Mrs. Xie held her hand and said, "Grandfather still remembered you last night, since you came, go talk to him." ”

Di Lian Wen obeyed the sound, got up and went to the bedroom behind the screen, Xie Hengxu naturally followed behind her, gently pushed the door open, and the two entered, Di Lian saw four people sitting around the bed, the eldest uncle Xie Chengji, the second uncle Xie Chengyu, and the eldest cousin Xie Hengyuan, sitting on the bedside chair, but it was his father Jiang Luoxiu, who returned at sunrise and late every day.

Seeing the two of them coming in, the four of them got up one after another and looked at Xie Xunke, who was half-lying on the bed.

Tilian stepped forward, glanced at the four of them, and said with a smile to her grandfather, "The unprovoked ones are here, so it makes people panic, and my grandfather is biased, and he throws down Lian'er and doesn't call." ”

The pale and sallow face smiled lightly, and the old and cloudy eyes stared at her and couldn't hide her doting, Xie Xunke smiled, "Didn't you come too?" The hoarse, laborious tone of her voice forced a smile on Tillian's face.

Then I heard him say again, "Go out, I'll talk to Lian'er." ”

Several people glanced at each other, and retreated one after another, Jiang Luoxiu's expression was slightly heavy, and Xie Hengxu glanced at Di Lian worriedly before closing the door.

Seeing him smile and nod on the side of the bed, Tillian restrained her smile, sat down with a calm expression, and looked at him without blinking.

Xie Xunke smiled dumbly, "You don't have to look at me like this, there will be this day in the world, whether it is a hero or a villain, even if it is the one above, in the end it will only end up with a handful of loess." ”

Di Lian lowered her eyes to hide the tears in her eyes and forced a laugh, "Grandfather wants to talk like this, Lian'er really doesn't like to hear it." ”

"Okay, I won't say it." , suppressed and coughed twice, Xie Xunke gasped for a moment before continuing, "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, my grandfather Rong Ma half a life Weihe I, it is time to make room for you juniors." To put it bluntly, Lian'er, my grandfather doesn't want you to marry into the Xie family. ”

Stunned, she raised her eyes, and Tillian muttered, "Why?" ”

For a long time, Di Lian thought that her marriage to Xie Hengxu was something that everyone in the Xie family liked to see.

Xie Xunke's withered expression was very comfortable, and there was even a smile in his eyes, "The Rongguo Mansion is not as prosperous as you think, Ziyuan is the grandson, he will inherit this title, this mansion also has the glory and burden of the Xie family, and Zixu will go in and out of the battlefield to kill all his life." Don't think that your grandmother and grandfather have been together comfortably all their lives, her life is not easy. ”

The moon's eyes trembled slightly, and Tilian lowered her eyes, "Lian'er understands what her grandfather meant." After a pause, he continued, "Lian'er doesn't regret it. ”

Xie Xunke smiled lightly and said slowly, "It's not that you will regret it, but that you and Zixu are not suitable to stay together." ”

Di Lian frowned, "Grandfather, Zixu has been with Zixu since Lian'er remembered, if you know your heart and mind, there is no one in this world who understands him like me, and no one knows me like him." ”

"If a person can meet a confidant in this life, it will be a blessing for the two, but the word fate does not have to involve love." , raised his hand to stop Di Lian's rebuttal, Xie Xunke coughed twice, lay down on his back and looked at the empty bed, "Since you were two years old, you have known that you have instigated Zixu to follow you with your heart and lungs, and your grandfather knows that Lian'er, you are destined not to live in the world, Zixu's life has been fixed since he was born, he is destined to die for the Xie family, and you are his obstacles, and your grandfather has never been suspicious of your future path, because your grandfather can't see through it." It's for the Xie family, but also for yourself, Lian'er, if your grandfather goes one day, the three-year filial piety period is enough for you to choose your own path. The clouds and sunshine finally dispersed, and they inhabited the heavy peak of the sky and the song of Heng. This sign, this sign. ”

Yue's eyes widened, Tilian's hands trembled, stroked Xie Xunke's hand, and lost her voice.

"Grandfather."

The corners of his pale lips were slightly curved, Xie Xunke slowly looked sideways at her, his eyes were hollow, and he said indiscriminately, "This sign, the holy sign." ”

Her dark eyes slowly closed, and Tillian only felt bitterness in her throat, a chill invaded her body, her ears were ringing silently, and she couldn't hear the voice she called, so she could only raise her shout.

"Maternal grandfather, maternal grandfather!"

The closed Zhu door was suddenly pushed open, and everyone outside the door looked panicked, hastily sad and mournful, and was quiet for a moment, and then knelt on their knees, crying out in pain.

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

Rong Ma's life of the famous Rong Guogong died of illness at the age of sixty and eight, as soon as the news came out of the Xie family, it immediately shook the government and the opposition, and when Empress Aijing mourned, the wind and clouds finally began to surge.
