In the Xia family manor in the capital.
The New Year has just passed, and it has not yet come out of the fifteenth, but the whole manor is cloudy.
The eldest lady who hadn't gone home for half a year that day suddenly came home, her haggard face and red and swollen eyes frightened almost everyone, and Xia Jiuding, the old head of the Xia family at that time, was practicing calligraphy in the study, and the eldest lady who threw her trolley box in the living room at will went directly into the study.
No one knows what the eldest lady said to her hometown, but the two chatted for less than half an hour, but the old man of the Xia family was extremely rare in thunder and anger, and the old man, who had always been self-cultivation and rarely got angry, smashed a large piece of priceless antique porcelain in the study for the first time this time, and the maid who came in to clean up was also scolded by him with a cold look.
In that conversation, except for the two parties, no one knew what Xia Qinwei and Xia Jiuding said, and no one knew what the final argument was.
After Xia Qinwei walked out of the study, she entered the room on the third floor, and she didn't take half a step out of the door in two days, Old Man Xia's face was gloomy every day, this kind of obvious signal fell into the eyes of the Xia family, everyone was naturally cautious, for fear that if they did a small thing wrong, they would become the object of the old man's anger.
Xia Family Manor, the third floor of the main villa, in a room with the best lighting.
The unusually large and luxurious bed that almost occupies half of the small room, Xia Qinwei, the eldest lady of the Xia family, is lying on her side, the air conditioning in the room is very full, and her delicate body is only covered with a thin sheet, and the whole room is filled with a pure woman's fragrance, the people in the room are lying quietly, their little white hands are holding the sheets, and their beautiful but sad eyes are blinking gently, with deep gloom and resentment, I don't know what I am thinking.
It was late at night, it was dark outside the window, there was a cold wind in the north, especially in this season, the wind was more chilling, hanging on the window made a whining sound, all year round, the wind at this time was only the most poignant and lonely.
There was a delicate ivory lamp next to the bed, with a yellowish halo and a soft glow, but the surrounding walls were black that few people chose!
Bedrooms with black walls.
Based on this alone, you can see that behind the smile of the former Miss Xia, the hardness and strength in her heart!
The mysterious black color has an unknown taste, so it is particularly unsettling.
Black walls, black curtains, as long as the lights are turned off, at night, this is the real fingers out of sight!
Xia Qinwei has always been very adaptable to this kind of environment that is enough to be rejected by most people, but this time when she went home, she lay on this familiar but unfamiliar big bed again, looking at the surrounding rooms and furnishings, she used to be able to sleep with peace of mind, but she surprisingly began to insomnia, looking at the black walls around her, her heart became extremely depressed.
Since when did you become so weak and helpless?
Is such a weak and helpless woman still the heir of the Xia family who was once strong?
In the dim light, Xia Qinwei laughed at herself, bitter and lonely, she said that women are men's poison, so there is a saying that the gentle township is the hero's mound, but think about it from another angle, the second factory of men is not a woman's poison? No matter how strong a woman once was, once she gets used to hiding behind a man's back and regaining her own person, she will become more at a loss than before.
The word love, the most bitter is lovesickness, the most sorrowful is parting, and the most hateful is breaking up.
Xia Qinwei's eyes were complicated, she turned lazily and lay on the bed, gently bullied with her full chest with a thin sheet as she breathed.
In this room, countless wealthy families in the capital and even in the Celestial Empire dreamed of coming in, but no one could really sit on this bed.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Xia Qinwei, who didn't feel the slightest sleep, turned her head slightly, a little strange, but still whispered in.
A gentle woman with maturity and grace all over her body walked into the room, close to one meter seven in height, plump and graceful, and the corners of her eyes inevitably had a trace of crow's feet under the invasion of the years, but her face similar to Xia Qinwei's seven points had an indescribable mature charm, she held a stack of materials in her hand, sat softly at the head of the bed, and smiled softly: "Can't sleep or wake up?" ”
"I don't know."
Xia Qinwei sat up, sat against the bed, was in a daze all night, lying on the bed, she didn't know if she had ever fallen asleep, she glanced at the woman, barely showed a bright smile, and said softly: "Mom, why haven't you slept yet?" ”
Li Qinghe, who is Xia Qinwei's mother and now the head mother of the Xia family, frowned, looking at the daughter in front of her, who has always been her pride, her eyes are worried, her current mental state is not quite right.
"Your dad is working overtime tonight, I just stayed up some supper for him, and I was just going to take the materials he asked for, and see that the light was still on in your room, so I came over to take a look."
Li Qinghe raised the information in his hand and smiled helplessly: "I don't know what kind of awkward trouble you have with your grandfather, now you don't care about family affairs, your grandfather doesn't care, everything is pressed on your father, in the past two days, he hasn't slept well, Qin Wei, can you tell your mother, what did you and your grandfather say?" You know, he's loved you the most since he was a child. ”
Xia Qinwei's eyes were gloomy, but she shook her head stubbornly and was silent.
Li Qinghe, who didn't have much hope, just asked casually, and he didn't force it after getting an answer, he just put down the information and gently touched Xia Qinwei's little head, and said with a smile: "Are you hungry?" I made lotus seed porridge, how about bringing you a bowl? Won't gain weight. ”
Xia Qinwei shook her head, depressed, and said obediently: "Thank you, Mom, I'm not hungry yet, I want to be quiet by myself, you..."
Li Qinghe narrowed her eyes slightly, she was a famous beauty when she was young, although she was not as popular in the capital as the first beauty in the capital, Huangfu Chaoge, but the gentleness and quietness of the small jasper in her poor background deeply moved her current husband, the two have been together for more than 20 years, and they have never blushed and quarreled, happy and gentle, so even if she stares at her eyes now, the tenderness in it is far greater than the resentment, mothers are naturally qualified to reprimand their children, so they don't wait for Xia Qinwei to finish speaking, Li Qinghe directly interrupted her words and reprimanded her softly: "Silly girl, you have been quiet for two days, isn't it enough?" Look at you, you haven't gone out for the past two days, and you've been staying in the house all day, is it because you want to wait for you to get married? Even I, as a mother, think you're a stranger, let alone someone else? If you continue like this, how can your grandfather and your father rest assured that the Xia family will be handed over to you? ”
"Is the position of the heir of the family really that important? Why has no one in my family ever fought with me? Tang Xiao and Tang Ning of the Tang family have been calculating each other for so long, and in the end, the former died in Huating, is Tang Ning really happy now? Mom, I used to think that this position was really important, because no matter where I went, I was faced with the awe and praise of others, as well as envy and admiration, but now I suddenly feel that this position is not important at all, status, power, these most real things are used to satisfy the most false vanity of human beings, no matter how high my status is? In the past, my dream was to lead the Xia family to an unprecedented peak, at least to reach the level of the Wang family back then, and enter the top five of the elite club, but now I hope that I am just a daughter of a relatively ordinary family, with a relatively solid but not too exaggerated family background, I can fall in love freely, find a man I like, and then join hands and be together, my family will at least support my love and life, it will not be like now, no matter what happens to the man I like, the family will not care, The indifference is chilling, the only thing I can mobilize is Qingding, heh, such a big thing happened in Huating, the family has always called me? Yes, the Tang family didn't dare to kill me, but if he died, what was the difference between killing me? I went back to the capital, and any of you asked me why I came back? You all know that, don't you? Mom, you and your father also think that he is not worthy of me, so it's better for us to break up, isn't it? You think he's no use now, so you want to abandon him, don't you? Be! That's it! That's right, why is a Wang family that has risen from the south to the present in danger with the heir of the Xia family? What qualifications does he have? Is he worthy? What kind of thing is he? He's nothing! That's what you think, right? But have any of you considered my feelings? I love him! Have you thought about it? How I hope that it was not the flames of the Huangfu family that rushed to Huating in the first place, but the wildfire of our Xia family? Do you know that I was at the scene at the time, less than fifty meters away from that fight, but I didn't help him from beginning to end, but it was the emperor's spirit! It was she and her family who played the most crucial role! That night, I was like an orphan abandoned by my family, no one looked at me, and I didn't have the slightest effect on myself, like a waste!
All my previous efforts and help are overshadowed, do you think it's not worth it to start a war with the Tang family? Why did the Huangfu family dare to do this? Are all the Xia family cowards? Why was I born into such a family?! ”
The more Xia Qinwei spoke, the louder she became, her expression became more and more excited, and her extremely suppressed mood erupted with tears, a little hysterical.
She took a deep breath and said self-deprecatingly: "Actually, I'd rather be seriously injured and unconscious that night, at least there is a man who can fight the Tang family at all costs for me, and bury me with thousands of lives, are those killings really dirty and sinful?" At least the emperor is happy. I even suspect that even if I die that night, the family will endure it, and the final result is just reviving a person who is frantically retaliating, and the Xia family, who died as an heir, is indifferent, hehe, Mom, isn't it ironic? It's a pity that there will be no such opportunity in the future, we broke up, and I can't meet a man who is willing to wash the world for me. ”
In the face of her daughter's series of questions, Li Qinghe, who was just silent, was just silent, her eyes flowing, and she seemed to be able to recall and sigh.
"One day, the Xia family will completely regret this decision to sit on the sidelines! I promise! ”
Xia Qinwei said coldly, picked up the sheet, brought a burst of fragrant wind, and her delicate body lay down again, and said lightly: "I'm tired." ”
Li Qinghe sighed, sat beside her daughter, stretched out her hand to caress her delicate face, and almost muttered: "Silly boy, whether you believe it or not, I want to say that if your father of the Xia family can be completely in charge now, this time we will definitely not stand idly by, and the wildfire will definitely fight to the death with the army, but now the Xia family is in charge, it is your grandfather, do you understand?" ”
"We have all heard a lot about you and the child of the Wang family, his personality, we are generally clear, to be honest, the two of us are not against your relationship, this is true, even your father wants to meet him and have a good talk."
"What the door sees or something, it's completely hypocritical to say, if we care about this, I wouldn't be with your dad back then, in the eyes of others, my mother and I were a model of a sparrow turning into a phoenix, I don't know how many people are envious and jealous."
"Girls are eager to find a good home and catch the golden beetle son-in-law, but how much purity the so-called golden beetle son-in-law has, it is also exquisite, a family tuition can not afford to pay the tuition and need to work three jobs, the sores on the palms of the winter but still insist on going to the hotel to wash the dishes with cold water The girl still insists on going to the restaurant to wash the dishes with cold water, and falling in love with a top family heir of the Celestial Empire who goes out is the big brother of the mobile phone of the team, without great courage, it is definitely impossible, I even dare to say, such an identity, Ordinary gold-worshipping girls who are enough to be shocked are discouraged, but I dare. Your dad and I were like this back then, silly boy, you said that if we really pay attention to the right door, can we get together? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, so why should we stop our children? We really hope you'll be with someone you like. ”
Li Qinghe said quietly, as if she had forgotten to send materials to her husband, and stayed in Xia Qinwei's room, and she had no intention of going out for a while.
Xia Qinwei didn't know when she had quietly opened her eyes, looked at her mother's calm face, and asked coldly: "Mom, do you know Wang Longtu?" ”
Li Qinghe's hand stroking Xia Qinwei's face suddenly stiffened!
His face also turned slightly pale.
Who doesn't remember the young master of the Wang family who swept the capital by himself back then?!
The Wang family.
A Wang Canglan has left a shadow and fear that his peers will never erase for a lifetime.
A Wang Long Tu, if he is still alive, can also make the people of their generation live depressed!
One person swept through the Jingshi!
Talked and laughed with many people who were in charge of the Celestial Empire at that time.
To this day, I still think about it, that high-spirited man is also a near-legendary figure in their hearts!
"My father used to be in good health and could practice martial arts, right?"
Xia Qinwei asked again, and when she said this question, her eyes were complicated, and her expression was a little gloomy.
Li Qinghe's trance eyes had a warm smile, and he said softly: "Yes." ”
"Then why is my father so weak now?"
Xia Qinwei was aggressive, and her eyes were full of brilliance.
"I know what you're trying to ask."
Li Qinghe laughed softly, looked at his proud woman, and sighed in a tone of emotion: "Back then, Wang Longtu split your father into a waste with five swords, seriously injured and dying, if it wasn't for good luck, he would have gone to another world back then, and he was able to survive, many people say that this is a miracle." At that time, the young master of the Wang family really had the courage to break through the sky, if he really killed your father in front of your grandfather, the current Xia family may have begun to decline. But I don't hate him, and your dad doesn't hate him either, and he's even a little grateful, do you know why? ”
Li Qinghe looked at her daughter who was concentrated, chuckled, and said slowly: "If there was no Wang Longtu back then, there would be no you now." ”
“……”
Xia Qinwei's eyes were extremely strange for a moment, her face was pale and a little frightened.
Li Qinghe glanced at her daughter suspiciously, and immediately noticed the ambiguity in her words, and immediately blushed, stretched out her hand and knocked softly on her daughter's head, and said angrily with a red face: "Dead girl, where do you want to go, I have never done anything to be sorry for your father." ”
"That..."
For a moment, Xia Qinwei, who was afraid that her mother would say that she and Wang Fuxing were half-brothers and sisters, instantly breathed a sigh of relief and was a little puzzled.
"It is impossible for a prince to marry a people's daughter, no matter how much the two love each other, this is the reality."
Li Qinghe said softly: "Back then, your grandfather naturally tried his best to oppose the matter between me and your father, in his thoughts, your father should at least marry one of the first-line forces, such as the Huangfu family, the Hong family in the capital, and the Han family. Later, there was the fact that the young master of the Wang family swept the capital, when your father was in the hospital, the doctor had issued a critical illness notice, it was me, and only me, wearing a white dress to guard him, calling his name over and over again, three days or two days, did not close his eyes, when everyone thought that your father had no hope, your grandfather asked me, saying that if your son died, would you like to be a widow of the Xia family, of course, it is a widow without a penny of inheritance, I said I do. Maybe it was this sentence that touched your grandfather, your father's condition gradually improved, out of the dangerous period, after a long time of recuperation and discharge, he never objected to our interaction, it was Wang Longtu's swords that split us into a world, so your father's fool often smirked and said, those swords, don't lose. ”
Xia Qinwei was silent for a long time before she said softly: "Mom, tell me the story of your youth." ”
"How can there be so many stories, they are all bland, if you want to listen to them, I will tell you another day. I am talking to you so much today, mainly to tell you that no matter what the family is, your parents are your parents after all, and we will support you and there will be no hostility towards our future son-in-law. ”
Li Qinghe chuckled, stood up, picked up the materials and said with a smile: "Okay, I have to send the things to your dad quickly, so that he can rest early after reading it, his body, alas..."
"Future son-in-law? They all broke up, and they are still what kind of sons-in-law. ”
Xia Qinwei laughed at herself, her heart softened slightly, she took the information over, and said softly: "Show me." ”
"This is a tender, do you still want to take it? You have to be willing to take over, to save your dad a lot of effort, this land will be auctioned in the near future, covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres, your dad plans to auction this land, to create a top villa area of celebrities in Beijing, this land has an excellent geographical location, the area is large enough, at least ten digits of profits, you want to be interested, I will tell your dad. ”
Li Qinghe said softly, her daughter's mood is really bad during this time, and it is not bad to let her do something.
Xia Qinwei stared at the information, the light in her eyes flickered, becoming brighter and brighter, and she was silent for a while before she raised her head and said seriously: "Mom, I want this project." ”
"Okay."
Li Qinghe smiled and casually agreed.
"Mom, I mean I want this project."
Xia Qinwei reiterated and accentuated her tone: "I mean I want this land!" It belongs to me, not the Xia family, and I don't want to build any villas! ”
Li Qinghe frowned slightly, looked at her daughter, and said lightly: "What do you want this land for?" With an area of nearly 10,000 acres, it would be a pity to hand it over to you. ”
What is the concept of nearly 10,000 acres?
Even if you drive around and the speed is fast enough, it will take dozens of minutes or even nearly an hour!
With such a large piece of land, the starting price will not be less than one billion!
"You don't care about this, anyway, I want this land!"
Xia Qinwei insisted, and the brilliance in her eyes was much more energetic.
"I'll go talk to your dad and let him decide."
Li Qinghe said helplessly, and just as he was about to turn around, an elegant and gentle voice had already sounded at Xia Qinwei's door, with a smile: "Needless to say, Dad agrees." ”
A handsome old handsome man with pajamas and pajamas walked into the room with a smile, with an elegant bearing, every move with an indescribable demeanor, easy-going but majestic!
The current head of the Xia family, Xia Yinhe!
Facing his wife and daughter, he obviously put down the mask outside, came to his wife with a gentle smile, looked at Xia Qinwei, and said with a somewhat flattering smile: "Good daughter, what else do you want, even if you tell your father, I agree." ”
"Ask for money."
Xia Qinwei was straightforward and did not beat around the bush.
"Well, how much?"
Xia Yinhe was even more happy, waving his big hand and smiling heartily.
"I don't know, after taking this land, it will be at least a few billion. This piece of land is entrusted to me to operate, and it will definitely become a landmark building in the capital in the future. ”
Xia Qinwei muttered to herself, glanced at her father, and said firmly: "I will personally participate in the auction." ”
The muscles at the corners of Xia Yinhe's mouth twitched, but he still kept a smile and nodded, "No problem." ”
Xia Qinwei snorted, lowered her head to look at the information, and never spoke again.
Xia Yinhe pulled his wife, and the two walked out of their daughter's room with a smile, as soon as they went out, the contemporary head of the Xia family immediately became sad, he glanced at his wife, and said with a wry smile: "This stupid girl, the magic barrier?" Such a big and good piece of land, not to mention profit, I have to get some landmark buildings in Beijing, and when I hear it, it is something that burns money and does not make money, and I now hope that what she said needs at least a few billion yuan is not too conservative. ”
Li Qinghe glanced at Scrooge's husband and said with a smile: "Even if it is completed, it is at least the work of the Xia family, without this money, the Xia family is not impossible, what are you distressed about, let Qin Wei do something, distract his energy, at least let her get out of the blow of falling out of love." ”
Xia Yinhe, who has been gentle and elegant for most of his life, has never been sharp, but has led the Xia family to rise steadily, squinted his eyes slightly, and said with a deep look: "I'm afraid it will backfire." ”
"What?"
Li Qinghe frowned slightly, a little puzzled.
Xia Yinhe smiled slightly, patted his daughter-in-law's still upright buttocks in the style of an old pervert, and said, "It's nothing, go to sleep." ”
Li Qinghe blushed and scolded for being incorrect, subconsciously looked around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one: "Where are you going?" ”
Xia Yinhe's expression that had just relaxed suddenly became sad again, and he subconsciously rubbed his buttocks, and said in pain: "Go to my dad, he has been angry with Qin Wei recently, he has been holding back a breath of anger all day long, and he doesn't come out, I'm really afraid that he will hurt his body, I went to provoke him, pull a hate, give him a chance to vent, and the matter of this land will inevitably be blinded by his old man when the time comes, so I will simply get it together and be scolded for my husband." ”
Li Qinghe glanced at him and muttered, "It's the first time I see that I'm going to be scolded." ”
Xia Yinhe shook his head helplessly, turned around and went up to the fourth floor, and went to find his father Xia Jiuding.
Really.
That night, almost half of the Xia family's manor could hear Old Man Xia roaring loudly.
The angry scolding continued for most of the night, and when it was almost dawn, the gray-faced Xia Yinhe took it out of Xia Jiuding's room, wiped the saliva on his face, breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, but saw his wife Li Qinghe standing not far away, gentle and supple, obviously waiting for him to go back and rest together.
Xia Yinhe, who was moved in his heart, looked at his wife's playful gaze, the contemporary head of the Xia family made an unusually stupid posture, he raised a finger and pointed to the ceiling, put one foot off the ground on his knee, jumped like a clown, and said with a smile: "The tribulation is over, soar!" ”
Li Qinghe was amused by this living treasure husband on the spot and bent over.
Xia Yinhe's eyes were warm and looked at his charming wife, with a pleased smile, what grand ambitions, what wealth rivals the country, in his opinion, it is just a passing cloud, life is in the world, this man who is easy to be content has already stood in a strong position that does not need to worry about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and further, in his opinion, there is no meaning.
It is enough to make your family healthy and happy.
