Chapter 105: Solicitation
"The previous workshop has been cooperating before, and I don't know that Zhu Yan and I are the same person, at most I know that it has something to do with me, so I asked someone to get a workshop, and these two volumes are from the new workshop, how does it feel, is it better than before?"
"Much better, more refined than the previous ones."
Qiu'er's book is naturally exquisite, everything is used the most, and the cost has increased, but how can he care about this, Duan Ziyi looked at Xia De, knowing his worries, and said, "There will be no trouble." ”
Xia De was relieved when he heard such a reassurance, he was not blind, not to mention the attitude of his grandfather and father towards this person, nor to look at his extraordinary subordinates, he could also feel that this person was not an ordinary person.
And he's always trusted his instincts.
"But you came just in time, Xia De, when your uncle gets married, are you willing to follow me?"
Xia De's eyes froze, "With you?" Why? What can you promise me? ”
"What do you want?"
"What if I say I don't need anything?"
"You won't." Duan Ziyi changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and the whole person was relaxed, "I believe that you have no ambition for the Xia family, but this doesn't mean that you really have no ambition at all, how can you shelter the family and do nothing, am I right?" ”
Xia De's face no longer saw the usual smile, and his calm face was not like anyone in the Xia family, and few people would be in a happy mood after knowing that they were being seen through.
Duan Ziyi also wanted to say that she was suffocated by Xia Hanqiu's glance, she didn't like the tension between the two, in her heart. The solution to the problem is to talk about something between relatives.
She and Chang Zhi are not related people, and in her selfish heart, she doesn't want to be disliked by the Xia family.
"Cousin, you don't want to be dragged down because you don't want to get married, in fact, you have long planned to wait for your brother-in-law to leave home after getting married, or rather, if it weren't for your brother-in-law's affairs that dragged you down, you would have left home a long time ago, I guess right?"
In the past, Xia De couldn't be fierce against Hanqiu. knew that she was Zhu Yanhou. The heart of protection rose even more, and his attitude softened, "It is true, but this does not mean that I have to be protected by anyone." ”
"Cousin......"
"I know there's no malice in it." Xia De interrupted her. The word is called Duan Ziyi. "He's making this suggestion because of you. You care about us, you care about me as a cousin, and you see my restlessness. He thought about your worries, I understand everything, but Hanqiu, if I leave the Xia family and still have to be protected, why should I go outside to suffer from that upheaval? It's good to be my second son in the Xia family, anyway, I won't grow when I go out, don't look at the Xia family now seems to be better than before, in my opinion, it's all false, the Fu family is gaining momentum now, what if it loses power? Or many years later, the younger brother who is in charge of the family is replaced by a little aunt, can the relationship between the two families still be so good? I have a younger sister, and there will be juniors in the future, I don't want them to suffer from my aunt's misfortune again, but at home, I can't see the way out of the Xia family, Hanqiu, you are so smart, you should know me best? ”
"I understand." Xia Hanqiu nodded vigorously, in other words, this second cousin seems to be not serious, but in his heart he is the person who understands the Xia family best, "You don't understand what I mean with Changzhi." ”
Xia De listened to it.
Duan Ziyi picked up Qiu'er's tea, probed the temperature, and pushed it in front of her.
Xia Hanqiu took two sips, and said slowly: "I don't know if you have figured out where you want to go out and who you want to go to, but I know that there are too few Bole in this world, and even fewer people can look up to a cloth background, your youth is capital for you, but it is rare for those in power to value it, even if you vote for the master, you may not be able to get what you want, cousin, are you mentally prepared?" ”
Xia De pursed his lips and nodded.
He thinks he is unparalleled in the world, and someone has to give him a chance to use his talents.
"Follow and you will be able to do what you want."
"I know that he is a nobleman, or a big nobleman, but he even has to hide his identity, he must have a last resort, how can he help me?"
Xia Hanqiu was just about to answer, but Duan Ziyi took the lead, "My surname is Duan." ”
"Change!"
"It doesn't matter if you tell him, in fact, it's okay to tell the Xia family, you can't hide it when Xia Jing comes back, and there's no need to hide it, I understand your worries, but those things don't necessarily happen." Especially after his previous warning, I believe that the Xia family will be more cautious, not to mention that the generations of leaders of the Xia family are not stupid people, and they will not fail to see that as long as they are good to Qiu'er, they will be harmless.
Over there, Xia De was already completely stunned, or a little frightened, and the books that had been clenched in his hands slipped to the ground, surnamed Duan, surname Guo, wouldn't his quasi-brother-in-law be a member of the royal family of Liang State?
"If your surname is Duan, how can you ...... Wait, do you marry your cousin or take her as a concubine? ”
Neither of them expected that Xia De would think of this first, Xia Hanqiu's heart warmed, and his expression softened even more.
Duan Ziyi took a higher view of Xia De's character, "Since I am a wife, I have no wives and concubines at home." ”
That's okay, Xia De's heart was light, and he secretly calculated the true identity of this person, he also gathers with fox friends and dog friends on weekdays, and he will inevitably talk about royal affairs, he heard well-informed people say that the previous King Liang did not die of illness, but was usurped by his own brother, and the descendants were not all killed, but the age of the prince in front of him is close to the prince's age, is it ......
This is not right, the crown prince has already established a crown princess! How can he still marry a wife, could it be that he is lying?
Xia De glanced at Duan Ziyi, the other party's eyes were open, and he didn't dodge it at all, it really didn't look like it.
"King Liang is my brother."
Except for the nobles of Shangdu, there are not many people who know Duan Ziyi, and it is impossible for Xia De to know, oh, he knows that this person in front of him is actually King Liang!
With a flash of inspiration, he immediately understood why Hanqiu wanted to hide his identity for him.
Thinking about it at worst, Hanqiu doesn't believe in the Xia family, but at best, Hanqiu doesn't want to change it because of it - no, it can't be called a change anymore, Duan Wangye's identity makes the Xia family think that they shouldn't be, so it really hurts their feelings.
There are not many days together, and he can see that Hanqiu is not a treacherous character, and now he believes that the thoughts of people who can write the 'shocking catastrophe' will not be so dark, so Hanqiu mostly wants to protect the Xia family and protect the family relationship between the Xia family and her.
It's also a shame that Hanqiu thinks far, the Xia family has a lot of mouths, and there are many in-laws, and the identity of the prince may not be able to be concealed during the period, and maybe it will cause unexpected trouble.
Xia Hanqiu looked at him silently for a while, a little worried in his heart, and had the heart to explain a few words for himself, but when he thought about it, there was actually nothing to explain, so he simply lowered his eyes and drank tea, waiting for him to ask.
"Tell me now, is it okay? After all, I am a member of the Xia family, and I can't hide such a major matter. ”
Xia Hanqiu raised his head, "Cousin doesn't blame me?" ”
"What's so strange, your worries are not superfluous, even if it's me, I can trust my grandfather, my father, and my eldest brother, but I can't trust my grandmother, my mother, or my sister-in-law, they all have their own families, who doesn't want to think about their parents' families? No matter how much they care about the Xia family, they won't really abandon their mother's family, my idea is to only tell my grandfather, and let my grandfather have a bottom in his heart, what does the prince think? ”
Duan Ziyi nodded, with a bit of appreciation in his eyes, "It's okay, lest the old lady always guard against me like a thief." ”
Xia Hanqiu turned his head, but there was a faint smile on his face, his grandfather didn't hate to change it, and sometimes it was quite interesting to watch the two of them fight without a trace.
Duan Ziyi didn't mind entertaining Qiu'er at all, looking at her smile, but the words were Xia De, "Have you thought about what you said before?" ”
"I have one more question to ask."
"You ask."
"You should have stayed in the palace of Shangdu with the respect of the prince, why did you come to the pavilion? Don't say it's because of Hanqiu, you can only meet Hanqiu after you come to the pavilion. ”
"You suspect that I was expelled from the palace?" Duan Ziyi raised his eyebrows, and his eyes clearly flashed disdain for the one in the palace, "Just because he Duan Mingyu doesn't have this ability." ”
"Why is that?"
"Cousin......"
"Hanqiu, I understand your kindness, but I always want to know if the person I Xia De wants to follow has any other troubles, whether it is worth my follow, don't worry, these words have entered my ears, and I will never let others know about it, and I will definitely keep my mouth shut about what my grandfather shouldn't say."
Xia De's attitude was too resolute, Xia Hanqiu knew that he would definitely not be able to convince him, so he had to turn his head to look at another person who was even more reckless.
Duan Ziyi raised his chin slightly, revealing an arrogant arc, "The son of the first king is not dead, I rescued one, it was in this direction to get rid of the chase at that time, Qiu'er happened to save me, and I had the love later, is there anything else to ask?" ”
"Yes." Xia De was not polite at all, and did not retreat because of his identity, "So, you are in trouble now?" ”
"Trouble?" Duan Ziyi sneered, "I've been in the Pavilion for a long time, and I haven't shown up a lot, he Duan Mingyu can't find me, so what ability does he have to trouble me?" ”
"Do you have ...... Ambition? ”
This is too reckless to ask, Xia Hanqiu is secretly annoyed that his cousin is too aggressive, knowing that the identity of the prince is still so radical, and he is not a very patient person, so he will answer his cousin's questions one by one because of her, and then because he admires his cousin.
If you lose patience, I am afraid that your appreciation for your cousin will fade, so that your cousin will lose more than she gains.
But she can't participate in such a conversation between men, it will be annoying.
The thought in her heart turned a few times, but Xia Hanqiu was not in a hurry, in other words, she was her own person, and she would not embarrass the Xia family if she was annoyed, although she took the Xia family as her mother's family, the Xia family also needed to become strong with her own efforts, and she would have the strength to seize the opportunity when it came.
Excessive protection is not for the good of the Xia family, she should have understood this truth a long time ago. (To be continued......)
