Chapter 460: Undercurrent
Xiao Jing never denied that the strength of the Xia family greatly contributed to his success. With this family behind him, he can struggle for at least twenty years less.
Glory and wealth are at his fingertips, and those who don't have this kind of opportunity and like to complain will of course lament the injustice of fate.
However, this does not justify Pan Feiyu's unscrupulous means.
It's true that he is a small citizen, but even if he doesn't make a career, he won't starve to death on the streets, and his basic livelihood is still fine.
Xiao Jing, a stranger, was even more difficult than him when he first came to Ruidu, and later didn't he rely on his own hard work and integrity to start from scratch and establish the well-known Mirror Newspaper?
In terms of sensationalism, Xiao Jing easily threw Pan Feiyu dozens of streets, but he went down step by step and achieved undoubted achievements.
Before he became the son-in-law of the Xia family, he was already a wealthy man in Puhua Town!
Imagine if he didn't have the identity of the person who reported the incident and was just an ordinary citizen, would the Xia family marry his daughter to him?
Dream on!
Pan Feiyu treats others as his own and thinks of others as utilitarian, but he ignores that Xiao Jing and Xia Hanxue are truly in love with each other.
Besides, is a person who only sees a thief eating meat but not a thief being beaten embarrassed to make irresponsible remarks? Do you think everyone else is successful casually?
Xiao Jing risked his life several times for love, and almost left his life on the grassland, which won Xue'er's heart.
If he were replaced by Xiao Pan, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, would he have such courage?
If he hadn't left the newspaper at the beginning, he would have achieved something in the next few years. It's a pity that he can only go down the path he chooses now, even if it is a dead end......
When Xiao Jing came back to his senses, the horse had stopped in front of the Xia Mansion.
Softly comforted his wife, whose face was full of joy and there was still a trace of tears in the corners of her eyes, he was ready to go to see his father-in-law first as usual; As soon as he heard that Xia Honghan was still on duty at the yamen after the dispersal and had not returned, he laughed and grabbed Xue'er's slender waist and hugged her and walked inside.
"If the husband wants to be like this, how bad is it for the subordinates to see it?" Xia Hanxue's face was as red as an apple, but she didn't dare to break free for fear of refuting his face in front of others.
"You and I are reunited after a long absence, who is in the way of intimacy?" Xiao Jing glanced at the maid who was only walking with her head down and didn't even dare to breathe, hehe let go of Xue'er with a smile, and said, "Then listen to Madame." Anyway, there is a lot of time, and there is no rush at this time. ”
Xia Hanxue snorted lightly and ignored him.
Finally entered the room, Xiao Jing immediately took his beloved wife into his arms and hugged her tightly in his arms, patted her back and said softly: "It's been a few months for my husband, and everything at home is on Xue'er, it's really hard...... But don't worry, I won't go out easily anymore, and I will definitely be able to spend more time with you and Yan'er in the future. ”
Xia Hanxue said in a low voice: "These are all things that a concubine should do, why should the husband say thank you?" It's just that I heard that my husband was surrounded by the Hu people, and the concubine was so scared that she couldn't sleep at night, for fear of ...... Now that you're back safely, it's good to be back......"
As she spoke, her voice was tinged with tears.
Xiao Jing felt guilty in his heart. He doesn't regret his choice, but he also understands how much he owes his family.
Which tongue-in-cheek person told Cher the news?
"Isn't it good to be a husband? It's said that my life is hard, and this time even the Great Khan of Beihu has cleaned it up, what can the Hu people do to me? ”
Xiao Jing pressed her face to her hair, and her voice was soft; When Xue'er's mood improved, he changed his words and said, "By the way, why didn't you see Lian'er?" Has the girl next to you changed? ”
Xia Hanxue finally broke into tears and smiled, and said playfully: "What, my husband misses her?" It's a pity, you're one step slower, people are going to get married soon, and now you're learning the rules of brides from your grandmother at home.
Dad said that he wanted to marry her off in style...... It's interesting to say, the news that Cao Chi killed Lu Chong arrived in the capital on the front foot, and the Cao family came to propose relatives on the back foot. Lian'er is really a blessing, I didn't expect that there would really be people in the world who were willing to avenge her and kill the Great Khan of Beihu......"
It can be seen that Cher is very happy, because the good sister has obtained a good home; Xiao Jing is the same, but he is also a little embarrassed in addition to his blessings:
Now even a blind person can see that Cao Chi is a rising star in Da Rui. Xia Honghan happily married Lian'er out, and Cao Chi's intention to win over Cao Chi was obvious.
That stupid boy with thick and fine should also know that marrying Lian'er is equivalent to getting on the Xia family's ship, right?
The husband and wife, who have been reunited for a long time, are clinging to each other and talking to each other. After about half an hour, someone suddenly said outside the door: "Uncle, the master has returned home, and I asked you to go over now." ”
Although Xiao Jing, who was with Xue'er Qingqing, was not happy, he had to leave his wife and go straight to Xia Honghan's study.
"The son-in-law has seen Lord Yue."
Xiao Jing respectfully greeted him as soon as he entered the room, but Xia Honghan's mood didn't seem to be very good, and his face was a little gloomy no matter how he looked at it.
He nodded slightly and motioned for Xiao Jing to sit down, and then said, "During the time that the virtuous son-in-law left Beijing, something happened in Beijing...... There is something that is not trivial, the old man will inform you today, you know it in your heart, understand? ”
Xiao Jing said with a solemn face: "Understood." ”
Xia Honghan must have been so single-handedly going straight that it must be a very important thing, and he couldn't help but cheer up his spirit.
"Your Majesty has a physical problem." Xia Honghan's deep eyes were unwavering, and he continued: "When the war was at its most intense, he only slept for more than an hour every day. Then one day he fell ill and fainted, and he was so ill that he was only able to get out of bed a few days ago. Although his life was worry-free for a short time, the news that the old man heard was that it was only a matter of the past two years......
Xiao Jing suddenly understood.
No matter how low-key the Xia family usually is, it is impossible to transcend it when the throne is about to change.
There are great risks and opportunities. Generations of glory or family ruin, many things are only in the thought of the helmsman of the Xia family!
"Please rest assured, the son-in-law has his own measure." Xiao Jing said solemnly: "I don't know what else you have to order?" ”
Xia Honghan said: "The virtuous son-in-law has seen the letter on the table and left." You have just come back from the north, and the old man will not leave you to speak. ”
Xiao Jing replied and began to flip through the stack of papers.
Halfway through it, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead: there are so many princes and the Xia family secretly communicating with each other!
Although these letters were all written by the subordinates of the Xia family, and none of them were written by the prince himself, the letters clearly wrote what year, month, and day the prince had contact with the Xia family in private, and the details were so detailed that they made people's hearts furious.
It turned out that there was already an undercurrent surging in the calm Ruidu!
