Chapter 23: Xie Lang
The three marquis and five prime ministers of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom are the five families of Shen, Wang, Xie, Lu and Zhang, and the three major marquis mansions of the Murong family of the Marquis of Changxing, the Hou Ning family of Wanning and the Tang family of the Hou Tang family.
When Murong Changqing heard the words "Murong Ning Tang is not afraid", he was a little uncomfortable, "Mother, who came out of these four sentences?" -- Obviously, they don't take our three major princes in their eyes. β
People all over the world say that the Eastern Yuan Kingdom has "three marquis and five phases" and is the pillar of the country.
But in the four sentences just now, it is obvious that he is exalting the five phases and belittling the three marquis......
Murong Lady Lu said disapprerovingly: "What is this? Changqing, you have to take a long-term view. Everyone will say good things, the kind of civil servants of the five phases, what can they do if they are praised again? Can it still be turned upside down? Our three marquis mansions are different, each holding a male soldier, no need to hold it, everyone also knows how powerful our three marquis mansions are. Therefore, at this juncture, we might as well be belittled and belittled by the mouth, so as not to be suspicious of His Majesty. β
In the warm pavilion in the main courtyard of the inner courtyard of the Marquis of Changxing's mansion, only Mrs. Changxinghou and Murong Changqing's mother and son spoke, so Mrs. Murong spoke very bluntly.
Murong Changqing suddenly realized, and said, "So that's the case." It seems that these four sentences may have been released by our people. β
"Although it misses, it is not far away." Murong Mrs. Lu put down the book in her hand and held the celadon tea cup in her hand, "Although we are a family of military generals, we also have to learn literature." If you don't understand the art of war and the hearts of the people, it is impossible to command hundreds of thousands of soldiers. β
Murong Changqing nodded silently, bowed down and said, "Thank you for your teachings." After speaking, he straightened up and said with a smile: "No wonder my grandfather was against public opinion back then, and he must hire a girl from the Lu family as his wife." Niang's knowledge, not to mention the daughter of an ordinary family, even if it is the Yuan royal family, it is difficult to find a woman like Niang who does not let her eyebrows go. β
Lu smiled slightly, twisted the tea lid of the jade-like celadon tea cup with his hand, looked at it in the palm of his hand, and said leisurely: "Hehe, you can't talk nonsense." The women of our five-phase family still can't be compared with the royal princesses of the Northern Qi, Dongyuan and Southern Zheng. She paused, and then sighed: "However, my hall sister is the real talent Gao Badou, much stronger than me." You see Xie Wu's current talent, which was personally taught by my lobby sister since she was a child. β
Murong Changqing knew that when her aunt Lu Ruilan married into the Xie family, it was the most prosperous time for the Xie family.
At that time, Xie Fu, the master of the Xie family, was the prime minister of the head of the five phases, but it was a pity that neither the brothers of the Xie family nor his two eldest sons who had grown up were the material for learning literature.
The brother doesn't learn and has no skills, and the son only loves to dance with guns and sticks.
Xie Fu was worried, and dreamed of having a son who could inherit his mantle.
Later, after the death of two sons in succession, Xie Fu's wife was in her thirties and almost forty, and she finally became pregnant again, and she was born as Xie Dongli, the fifth son of Xie.
Mrs. Xie was already an advanced maternal age when she gave birth to Xie Dongli, and she passed away two years after giving birth to him.
As soon as Mrs. Xie left, all Xie Fu's ambitions followed.
The next year, Xie Fu died in the post of prime minister, and the Xie family fell silent from then on.
The old man and the old lady of the Xie family have passed away, and Xie Dongyi, the eldest son of the deputy general, inherited the family business, and Xie Dongyi's wife Lu Ruilan became the head mother of the Xie family.
That year, Xie Dongli was only three years old.
Since then, the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, bringing Xie Dongli up.
In addition to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, as well as the second brother and second sister-in-law, they all treated Xie Dongli very well.
Lu Ruilan, the sister-in-law of the Xie family, was born in the Lu family, and has read poetry and books since she was a child, and is the smartest one among the girls in the Lu family. When she was thirteen years old, she once said that the champion Lang at that time was speechless, so that Xie Dongyi, the eldest son of the Xie family, bumped into her, fell in love with her at first sight, went home to discuss with her father, and married Lu Ruilan home with a soft and hard bubble and a dead face.
It's a pity that the children they gave birth to are all like Xie Dongyi, who are martial arts and not literary, and as soon as they tell them books and compose, it is like asking for their lives.
Lu Ruilan can't, fortunately, there is also a little brother-in-law Xie Donglian, who has been very smart since he was a child, no matter what book he reads, he will never forget it, no matter what he teaches, he doesn't need to say it a second time.
And after Xie Dongli is a little older, he will read books and learn by himself, draw inferences from others, and soon even Lu Ruilan will not be his opponent.
Lu's sister-in-law was simply ecstatic, and she had been looking forward to Xie Dongli being able to get out of the imperial examination as soon as possible and come back to revive the lintel of the Xie family.
Unexpectedly, Xie Dongli kept saying that "it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books", and then something happened, so in the end he still traveled away from home.
When he was fifteen years old, Xie Dongli left the capital with his servants and servants.
Today, three years later, he finally returned to the Xie family.
β¦β¦
"The fifth prince is back!"
"The fifth prince is back!"
The servants of the Xie family rushed to tell each other, and they all flocked to the second gate to greet him.
Ah Shun walked in from outside the second gate, rolled his eyes and said, "What are you guys doing here?" Haven't you seen what the fifth prince looks like? β
"Cut! Good for you, Xie Ashun! Dare to pretend to be the fifth son! The servants who knew Xie Ah Shun were giggling and laughing, and wanted to pull him away to reminisce about the past.
Ah Shun hurriedly said: "Childe has something here with me, I'll come when I go!" With that, he chased Xie Dongli away.
And Xie Dongli had already come to the door of the upper room in the main courtyard where the eldest brother and sister-in-law lived in the inner courtyard at this time.
"Little Wu, you're finally back!" The sister-in-law of the Xie family, Lu, grabbed Xie Donglian's hand and was about to cry with joy.
Xie Dongli was slightly moved, "Big brother, sister-in-law, I'm back." β
I haven't seen it for three years, and Xie Dongli is already taller than Uncle Xie, who is tall and tall.
Looking at this younger brother who was taller than himself, Uncle Xie's eyes moistened, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." β
Under the crystal bright glass lamp, Xie Dongli stood with his hands in his hands.
Lying on the silkworm eyebrows, plump and moon-looking lips, tall and straight, eyebrows are clear and high, sparse and sophisticated, bright as the sun and the moon.
"It's fifty percent younger." Second Master Xie walked out, said with emotion, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Come in, come in, your nephews and nieces are all going to kill you." Sister-in-law Xie and sister-in-law Xie pulled him into the house together.
"Fifth uncle!"
"Fifth uncle!"
A group of nephews and nieces pounced.
Xie Dongli stood at the door and arched his hand: "Big brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law." He bowed his head slightly to his nephew and niece.
He was about the same age as several older nephews and nieces, and they had always grown up together, and they were very affectionate when they saw him.
Xie Dongli was still always estranged and indifferent, but everyone was used to him like this, so they didn't take it seriously, and rushed over with a smile and pulled him to sit down at the table.
"Alright, let's sit down and talk. I've ordered the kitchen to prepare a meal, and I'll be delivered soon. Everyone talked while eating. Sister-in-law Xie came in and led everyone to sit down at the dinner table.
Xie Dongli turned his head and beckoned outside, "Ah Shun, bring the things in." β
Ah Shun hurriedly walked in, untied a burden from his back, and sent it to Xie Dongli.
Xie Dongli didn't look at it, and presented it to Sister-in-law Xie, "Sister-in-law, this is a small business that I have done outside over the years, and I have earned some silver." Sister-in-law will take it to supplement the family. β
Sister-in-law Xie hurriedly excused herself: "No, no, our family is very wealthy now, and some of them are silver." The hard-earned money you earned, you might as well keep it for yourself and marry your daughter-in-law. β
Xie Dongli smiled, and did not expose Sister-in-law Xie's rhetoric. ββIf it weren't for the Xie family's idle house to be sold to the Situ family, this big family would have to drink the northwest wind......
He insisted and pushed the package back again.
Uncle Xie said: "Ruilan, it's a little bit of Xiao Wu's heart, you can accept it." It's all your own family, what's polite? ββXiao Wu marries a daughter-in-law, won't you take it out? Only let him use his own private money? β
"Phew!" Sister-in-law Xie smacked him, "When did I say that I wanted him to marry a daughter-in-law with private money?!" You name it, I can't do it! β
"Big brother and sister-in-law, the children are watching. You have to play with the spear, go back to the room to play......" Second Master Xie said with a smile, knocked on the table with chopsticks, and winked at a few nephews and nieces.
Sister-in-law Xie coughed, opened the package with a smile and looked at it, and her face changed suddenly, "...... Dong Li, all of this is what you earn?! β
Xie Dongli nodded, "Not much." β
"That's not much?!" Sister-in-law Xie raised her voice, "You have dug up gold and silver mines, right?!" β
"My sister-in-law has an overreputation." Xie Dongli quietly covered the package back, "Keep it." β
Sister-in-law Xie didn't see silver before, but she was still frightened by such a large amount of assets, her heart pounded, she glanced at Xie Dongli and said, "Let's eat first." In this case, I will keep this thing for you, and when you marry the girl of the Zhang family, I will give it to your wife. β
"Yes, this year is the girl of the Zhang family and Lu, fortunately you rushed back. Otherwise, the Zhang family still thinks that we deliberately regretted our marriage......" Uncle Xie said with a smile.
Sister-in-law Xie pursed her lips and said, "It's not settled yet, where can we talk about repentant marriage?" "She looks down on the Zhang family's style.
Xie Dongli's family affair was also told to the master of the Zhang family before his father, Prime Minister Xie Fu, passed away.
At that time, Mrs. Zhang had just been two months pregnant, and the old man of the Zhang family came to the Xie family to visit Xie Fu, who was seriously ill.
Before leaving, he took Xie Fu a jade pendant and said that if his wife gave birth to a daughter, he would be a daughter-in-law for the two-year-old Xiaowu.
Xie Fu died of illness soon after, and Mrs. Zhang gave birth to a daughter eight months later, named Zhang Zhenqin.
Originally, since Xie Fu's death, there has been no follow-up.
In the past ten years, the Zhang family has been thriving, occupying two deputy positions in the five phases, squeezing the Xie family into nothingness.
And the Xie family is declining, slumping, and even to the point of selling their ancestral property to make a living.
It wasn't until three years ago that Xie Dongli broke into a famous place, and the phrase "the most talented person to look up to Xie Lang" swept the Dongyuan Kingdom, and the Zhang family remembered this long-standing marriage again and sent the Zhang family's girl's Geng post over.
Sister-in-law Xie knew that Xie Dongli traveled far away three years ago, and it was not unrelated to this matter.
