Chapter 14: The Present
Being a matchmaker has always been the business of women in the house, but as a woman, Mrs. Xie rarely asks about this kind of thing, and she never thinks that she will tell a man about it.
And this man still said goodbye to himself.
Until the king of Dongping County was sent away, Mrs. Xie was still a little stunned.
Shicai's words were really too impactful.
It turned out that the emperor valued the Xie family so much because he wanted to use witches to support his fortune.
It's a big deal.
The First Emperor Ding, it turns out that there is still such a thing in the world, but why has it never been recorded in the ancestors? It shouldn't be, since it appeared with Wu Qing Niangniang, even if Wu Qing doesn't alchemy, but she provided the cinnabar for alchemy, no matter what, it can't be recorded at all.
Mrs. Xie turned around and walked in, she was going to the study to flip through the books to see if there was anything missing.
Xie Rouhui stood in the courtyard and hurriedly greeted her when she came back.
"Mother, what did Your Highness say?" She said hurriedly, "No matter what he says, mother must not be angry, His Royal Highness is a person who values affection and righteousness, and it is natural to repay kindness, and mother must not be in a hurry." ”
Mrs. Xie glanced at her.
In the end, it is a child, and you know that staring at those who love and love, there is not only love in this world.
The king of Dongping County said that he was in a coma when he was rescued, and he also said that Xie Roujia himself said that he was his savior, what does this mean?
It means that he himself doesn't know who is the one who saves lives, and Xie Roujia says that she is, and he believes that she is.
It's not so much to believe in Xie Roujia, but to believe in the Xie family. Besides, it doesn't matter who saved him.
All this is just because of the First Emperor Ding.
Because their Xie family is the descendants of Wuqing Niangniang, the emperor hopes that the Xie family will be grand, and hopes to get the first emperor Ding and immortality like the first emperor.
This is why the emperor and the king of Dongping County attach so much importance to the Xie family, the grace of saving lives? Of course, it can also be done by people, but it is far from enough compared to the First Emperor Ding.
"Hmm." Mrs. Xie hummed.
You can't tell anyone about the First Emperor Ding, and neither can Xie Rouhui, at least not yet.
Well? What is the meaning?
Xie Rouhui was stunned.
Did the king of Dongping County not say it, or was she not angry?
Now her mother doesn't know everything about her as well as she used to.
In the end, he came back and made too much trouble, and he shook out a lot of things before. Subverted the consistent impression in my mother's heart.
But there really can't be helped. She is desperate, and she has to get back to the position of the eldest lady first, no matter what.
As for the rest, whatever, as long as she is the eldest lady, no one can help her.
Xie Rouhui squeezed out a smile.
"That's good." She said.
I don't want to say it now. Just ask later. Always ask.
Mrs. Xie looked at her again.
"How old are you?" She asked.
Xie Rouhui was a little stunned.
"Mother. I'm fourteen. She said.
You can't be stupid, right?
Mrs. Xie sighed, and the words of the king of Dongping County sounded.
"I'm twenty-one years old and married at the age of eighteen. He lost his wife at the age of nineteen, and because he was busy with the affairs of the first emperor, he never discussed his relatives again. ”
"Your Majesty has always valued the Xie family, I don't think it is as good as you and me marrying the two families."
"If the eldest lady is interested, I will tell Your Majesty about this matter when I return to Beijing."
"As for the woman's choice, I believe in the eldest lady's choice."
There are many daughters of the Xie family, and there are many of them of the right age, but this candidate is not easy to choose.
The identity of the king of Dongping County is too noble, how can those side branches and condiments be taken out.
If you want to say that it is suitable, only their long room is the most suitable.
But the Dannu in the long room is naturally not good, Rou Qing is lame, Rou Shu is out of tune, Rou Jia ......
Rou Jia, the daughter of the long house, and the sister of the Dan girl, are the most suitable in terms of bloodline and identity.
It's a pity......
"Mother, mother." Xie Rouhui shook Mrs. Xie's next door and called urgently, "Are you okay?" ”
Mrs. Xie came back to her senses, but she only felt that her brain was messing around, which thing to do first? Looking up the classics? Or go to the ladies of the family and choose the right girl?
These two things are very important, and it can also be said that two things are one thing, first marry and then help, first help each other and then marry openly and dignified.
"What the hell happened to Mother? What did the king of Dongping tell you? Did he scare you? Xie Rouhui said urgently.
Mrs. Xie looked at her and muttered for a moment, but decided to tell Xie Rouhui about it, after all, they are the same generation, plus the identity of the king of Dongping County, his wife must be Xie Rouhui's trust.
"Nope." She said, "Who do you think is the most suitable person in your family to marry the king of Dongping County?" ”
Xie Rouhui looked at Mrs. Xie in a daze.
Who?
"Mother, don't be stupid, it's not like he hasn't seen a beauty, and it doesn't work at all to use a beauty to win him over." She said.
"When did our Xie family win over people by sending beauties?" Mrs. Xie frowned and said, "If that's the case, he's trying to win us over." ”
The king of Dongping County is indeed very good-looking, and he can be called a beauty.
Mrs. Xie couldn't help but laugh.
This was the first time she had laughed since Mrs. Xie died.
Xie Rouhui was even more stunned by Mrs. Xie's laughter.
"Mother, did he say he wanted to marry her?" She asked anxiously, "He's here to get her out." ”
You wouldn't be so stupid as you would agree, would you?
Mrs. Xie glanced at her.
"Didn't you understand what I said?" "I asked who in the family was best suited to marry him, not who he said he wanted to marry us." ”
Yes?
In other words, the sovereignty is in the hands of Mrs. Xie, not who is designated by the king of Dongping County?
Xie Rouhui looked at Mrs. Xie.
No, no, why did the king of Dongping suddenly marry their family?
"You don't need to know the reason for the time being, in short, it has nothing to do with people, don't worry." Mrs. Xie said, "I will naturally tell you about this confidential matter in the future." ”
Secret?
"Mother, you don't know the king of Dongping County. He's a terrible person. Xie Rouhui said hurriedly, "He didn't lie to us, right?" ”
"You know?" Mrs. Xie smiled, "What you understand is only what you care about." ”
What does she care? I care about Xie Roujia's status in front of the king of Dongping County, I care that the king of Dongping is good to Xie Roujia, and why doesn't she care about Xie Roujia?
This is...... Is it ironic?
Can a mother be sarcastic? Is it sarcastic about her?
Xie Rouhui looked at Mrs. Xie with a stunned expression.
"Don't worry, he didn't say he wanted to marry her, and I won't let him marry her, he wants to marry any girl in our family." Mrs. Xie said, looking at Xie Rouhui. "Any girl I think is the right girl."
Any ......
The girl that Mrs. Xie thinks is suitable......
Who is suitable? The king of Dongping County wants to marry. I want to marry the king of Dongping County.
What the hell is going on? Who is suitable?
Xie Roujia is not suitable, but she is not suitable either, she is a Dannu, how can a Dannu get married. Let someone else marry...
No way! No way! No way!
Xie Rouhui originally thought about what the king of Dongping used to persuade his mother. But it was like a pot in my head.
Xie Wenxing came head-on at this time.
"Ayuan. Your Highness is gone? He said, "The elders are already waiting, you can go and say the ....... of the announcement."
Announcement? Announcement No. 2: Miss Xie Rouhui killed her relatives and elders, and she was heinous.
Announcement to the world. They thank the family for having this kind of person? Their mountain god and great witch family have such people who are inferior to beasts?
What about standing up to the sky! What about educating the people!
Announcement 2: Miss Xie Rouhui killed her relatives and was heinous? Then Xie Rouhui can't exist in the world, there is only Xie Roujia in the world, and there is only one Xie Roujia who inherits the Xie family.
Xie Roujia, who can only recruit a son-in-law, cannot marry outside!
"Can't be announced! Let them disperse! ”
The mother and daughter shouted in unison.
Xie Wenxing was stunned, looking at this mother and daughter with similar faces.
It's really a woman's fickle heart.
……………………………………………
The king of Dongping County dismounted and walked into the courtyard gate, and Huang was busy greeting.
"Pack your things and leave now." Dongping County King said.
Huang Zhushu responded yes.
When they entered the house, the scribes also came in.
"How is Your Highness?" He asked, "Is the Xie family convinced?" ”
The king of Dongping County hummed, did not deny or admit it, but turned around and pointed to a few cases.
"Mr. Bai is going to write my Geng post." He said.
The scribe responded by walking towards a few cases and taking a few steps before coming back to his senses.
"Gengti?" He asked in surprise, "Your Highness said that you wrote your Geng post?" ”
The king of Dongping is changing his outfits.
"Mine." He replied, "Then send it to the Xie family and hand it over to Mrs. Xie." ”
Both the scribe and the yellow master were a little confused.
Under what circumstances will Geng Ti be handed over to someone else? Hello dear!
"Your Highness, you, you mean that you want to discuss marriage with the Xie family?" Huang asked.
The king of Dongping County hummed.
"Your Majesty has long intended this." He said, "I want to choose the right family to marry the Xie family to show my value." ”
But that is what His Majesty has long intended to do.
The scribe and the yellow master glanced at each other.
"But now the Xie family will never marry Miss Roujia to His Royal Highness, and they will definitely not let Miss Roujia leave the Xie family." The scribe said.
"I didn't say it was Miss Heroujia." The king of Dongping said, he neatly tied his coat and wrapped his cloak.
Isn't it Miss Harmony Ka? That and with whom?
"The person is chosen by the Xie family." Dongping County King said.
Master Huang was stunned, and was about to ask again, but the scribe grabbed him.
"Yes." He replied respectfully.
The king of Dongping raised his feet and walked out.
"No, Lao Bai, what is Your Highness doing here?" Master Huang asked anxiously, "Why did this suddenly come out?" Why didn't you discuss it? ”
"What can you do, talk about it." The scribe picked up the pen on the table and dipped it in ink, looked at the paper on the table and frowned, "Go, bring the one with red and gold." ”
Huang snatched his pen.
"It's not a joke!" He said, "What the hell is Your Highness doing here?" ”
"Miss Xie Jiarouhui is quite fond of His Royal Highness, and it is rumored in Beijing that she has an old relationship with His Royal Highness." The scribe said, smiling meaningfully.
Master Huang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly he was stunned.
First of all, Xie Rouhui was so bold that she dared to spread untrue things with the king of Dongping County in the capital, no wonder he was sent back by His Royal Highness the King of Dongping County.
Then it suddenly became clear that Miss Xie Rouhui had a heart for Her Royal Highness, but now that she occupies the position of the eldest lady, Lord Xie Jiadan must not marry outside, but the former Miss Rouhui has now become Miss Roujia.
Miss Roujia can't marry outside, but Miss Rouhui can.
Although the young lady didn't know what to do, with her suspicious and thoughtful mind, she must at least immediately decide that Miss Rouhui can't die, and second, she can't have a tarnished reputation.
"Oh, it turns out that it's not a promise with your body, Your Highness is going to feed the tiger with your body." Master Huang muttered.
"Whatever, willingly." The scribe smiled, "Hurry up and find the big red sprinkled gold paper, and let the Xie family feel at ease before His Highness leaves." ”
Huang Zhushu was dizzy and went to find the paper.
"Then, what if the Xie family really chooses someone else to marry?" He asked again.
The scribe held up his pen.
"That's for later." He said with a bit of a sigh, "Let's talk about it later." ”
More about that later?
His Royal Highness has always been a person who takes one step and sees ten steps, and he does not see the last ten steps clearly, and he will never take the first step.
Obviously, this proposal was temporarily remembered, and as for what would happen in the future, he didn't think about it at all, he just thought about how to stabilize the Xie family now and solve Miss Roujia's crisis.
Is......
Master Huang shook his head.
"Sir." An escort came in, "Your Highness will take people to leave first, and you will go back to Beijing directly." ”
"Has Your Highness gone after the prince of the world?" The scribe asked.
"That's still a question." Huang said.
The guard shook his head.
"His Royal Highness is taking the path of the prince, but he is not chasing the prince, but to break off the queen and block the pursuit of the Xie family." He said.
Master Huang and the scribe glanced at each other.
"Oh." They said at the same time.
……………………………………………………
The horse's hooves trampled on the mud after the rain and splashed into the grass by the roadside.
The muddy path turned a bend, and three forks in the road ahead.
"Hey, it's not right to go straight." Zhou Chengzhen looked at the little red horse in front of him and shouted.
The speed of the little red horse did not decrease, Xie Roujia touched the horse's belly with her left leg, and the little red horse jumped into the road on the left and galloped and stepped on it.
Waiting for Zhou Chengzhen to catch up, Xie Roujia was raising her head to drink water under the big tree on the side of the road.
"I'm done with water." Zhou Chengzhen said, dismounted and stretched out his hand.
Xie Roujia held up the water bladder, but instead of handing it to him, she pointed to the left.
"There's a river over there." She said.
Zhou Chengzhen snorted.
"I'm not a horse." He said, throwing off the reins and sitting on the floor.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and Bajin and the old mute followed.
"Lord Shizi, there are no pursuers, you can continue to walk." Bajin said.
Zhou Chengzhen looked at Xie Roujia with a smile.
"How about it, I'll take you all the way safely." He said, "I've done a good job of doing this, it's safe and fast." ”
Xie Roujia didn't say anything when she looked at him, raised her hand and whistled, and summoned the little red horse to drink water while walking.
Did he count?
What will he count? I'll do it.
The old mute's mind moved, and he moved to Zhou Chengzhen's side.
"Lord Shizi, the road I calculated is okay, even if the Xie family has a dog with a spell, it can't catch up." He said with a wink.
Zhou Chengzhen snorted.
"What do you mean by counting! You are stupid to me, that's because Zhou Yan is broken. He glared in a low voice, "Why are you so shameless!" ”
Yes? So shameless?
The old mute was dumbfounded.
Me?
