Chapter 5 Attitudes
In the afternoon, Brother Xiao Xie had time to be led by Little Lori to visit the palace, in addition to scolding the big nouveau riche to express envy, jealousy and hatred (of course, in his heart), he was also really amazed by the design and overall layout of the Wang family's compound.
The second housekeeper specially instructed by the old man talked endlessly along the way, and his mouth was like a river, from the rockery to the overall feng shui layout of the palace, as well as the small parts down to the smallest detail.
In his opinion, as long as it does not affect the residence, there is actually nothing to do some feng shui layout, and the corners and corners of the Wang family, which are extremely poor and five elements celestials, have indeed given Xiao Xie a great shock, so he has a lot of respect for the designer of the Feng Shui Bureau of the Wang family's compound.
The Wang family is not rich from the beginning, its mansion has been expanded several times in strict accordance with the layout of the first generation of feng shui masters, and afterwards asked the contemporary master of the survey to identify, except for some slight adjustments due to the general trend of the times and changes in the terrain, there are almost no changes, the level of the first generation of designers can be seen.
The second housekeeper was extremely proud of this, and he also worked hard to praise it, seeing Xie Shence smile and not say anything, he didn't make any answer, in addition to organizing his words more carefully, there were also a lot of teasing and excitement to hug his thighs.
As everyone knows, Brother Xiao Xie doesn't know anything about feng shui at all, and he is likely to laugh and be generous when he opens his mouth rashly, in case he says the wrong thing and is caught by a housekeeper and takes the opportunity to go out, so that Brother Xiao Xie's glorious image is damaged, it is a big mistake, so Brother Xiao Xie has a silent attitude to avoid risks.
After walking around the palace, I almost didn't break my two calves. The palace is big, very big, and there is a kind of domineering spirit that there is a forest in the front yard of my house and a sea in the backyard of my house. In fact, in addition to the master-level carved beams and paintings, the eaves and arches and the hanging purple and vermilion, including the jade inlay, there is indeed a forest behind the Wang family compound, which covers a huge area, usually used as a family child to perform martial arts and practice swords, and there is indeed a lake in the backyard, just in the back mountain, the scenery is extremely beautiful.
In addition to the fact that the highest Huai Garden is slightly simple, the Wang family can indeed be worthy of the word magnificent, and at the same time, it must be added to be second to none, which is not in Chuzhou City, Huaiyang Road, but in the Great Jin, and even the whole world.
Finally went around the palace compound, and Xiao Xie finally got out of the mansion, and after a little inquiry, he went straight to the back mountain and big lake. After arriving at the lakeside, he retreated left and right, and didn't even bring the little Lori flowers, so he was alone in a daze with the big lake, and it took a long time to get up, and then he went back to the house with the little Lori to attend the dinner.
Little Lori didn't understand why this lake was so attractive to the second brother, Xiao Brother Xie didn't take the initiative to speak, she didn't ask, four or five-year-old children, maybe they have a strong curiosity, but for the children of the descendants with the traditional family education of the big family, never taking the initiative to show their true thoughts has become an instinct of self-protection, even in the face of relatives.
It is not excluded that little Lori has such a consciousness.,But it's more about the girl's reserve in front of a boy with a hazy feeling.,This,The nature of aristocratic women has a lot in common everywhere.γ
Only Brother Xiao Xie himself knows that after more than a thousand years in a certain time and space, there will also be a Chuzhou, where there will be a small city that is suitable for living, and this lake will be the favorite summer resort of the people in that small town in summer, together with the mountain that will be frequented soon, maybe there may be a pavilion in the future, and it will also become the pride of that small city. And that pride, after more than a thousand years in this world, I don't know if there will be.
There are three emperors and five emperors in this world, there are Confucius, Meng, Han Fei, Qin Emperor Han Wu, and Wei Huo Li Guang, but there is no Guangwu Zhongxing.
Since the Green Forest and Red Eyebrow Uprisings, the timeline very similar to Chinese history has been broken, and Xie Shence has searched through the history books, but he has not been able to find the name Liu Xiu.
After the uprising, the Great Chu Dynasty comparable to the Qin and Han dynasties was established, and after three hundred years of unification, it fell apart, and the princes fought in a melee, first experiencing the war of the Eight Kingdoms, and then the confrontation of the Five Kingdoms, and now, the four kingdoms that have entered the post-Warring States era, the traditional powers of the Western Qin, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, the Northern Yan, plus the Xianbei, Xiongnu and Xi tribes.
If the development continues according to this historical clue, it may not be the Northern Song Dynasty that ended the split, and there may not be an Ouyang Xiu in that era, because of the place of Chuzhou, he left an eternal beautiful article "The Story of the Drunkard Pavilion", and after a thousand years, there may not be a big Chucheng, and there may not be an undergraduate university, of course, there may not be a young man named Su Yang in a certain year and month, because of the sudden death of the all-night masturbation
The dinner was personally ordered by Mr. Wang, and the whole family feasted.
When Xiao Xie Ge and the others returned to the gate of the Wang family's compound that afternoon, they almost couldn't get in. The Wang clan is prosperous, and the side branches are even more luxuriant, and the children of the family in Chuzhou City received the news a few days ago and held a family banquet in the family tonight.
The family banquets attended by the old man in person can only be counted in a year, except for important festivals or family sacrifices, even the old man and the people of the Dashou clan may not have the opportunity to witness the true face. As soon as the old man retired from the elderly, he rarely cared about family affairs, and the family power has been handed over to several brothers, only in the name of the head of the family. Second, the old lady has been dead for many years, and the old man has become more and more invisible to outsiders, except for Wang Jiehua and a very small number of children of the family with excellent qualifications who can often enter and leave the forbidden land freely, and even the brothers of the Wang family rarely see the old man on weekdays.
Such family gatherings were also very popular at that time, which could not only maintain family feelings and enhance cohesion, but also concentrate on some family affairs and announce family development plans, so that family members were rewarded and punished according to family law. So it can be said to be a family's "court meeting".
The preparations that need to be made before such gatherings and the movement between family members are not completed in a few days, and it is common to start preparing for them a month in advance. But this year, the Wang family court meeting was hasty, and the family members had no time to react and prepare within three or five days. Fortunately, the Wang family has strong financial resources, and there will be no mistakes. And the carriages and horses are much more crowded than before, so that it takes a lot of effort to get out of the way for Brother Xiao Xie to go to the carriage. Fortunately, under the golden sign of Little Lori Huahua, no one dared to stop it, and even then it took a long time.
This can't help but make Brother Xiao Xie sigh that Wang Xie and the two families are very different when they get together. The pomp and circumstance of the Xie family's big cats and kittens are simply weak compared to this.
The reason behind the unusual family banquet is well known to the Wang family at the meeting. The little marquis of the Xie family, Xie Shence, that is, the grandson-in-law of the nominal old man, has arrived at the Wang family.
This is a major event that marks the alliance between Wang and Xie, and the family must also be treated carefully, as for who Xie Shence is, it doesn't matter who he is, what matters is the power he represents and the energy that can be used now and in the future, the Wang family doesn't care if Xie Shence is the legendary evil and crazy, what they value is the Xie family.
Some people even wish that Brother Xiao Xie was a fool, which would be more beneficial to the Wang family. As for the happiness of the little Lori Wang Jiehua's life, what does it matter to me? What is in the interests of the family? It's not my biological daughter, besides, even if it's my biological daughter, what's wrong with marrying a fool from the Xie family? Then unhappy? The fool of the Xie family is also stronger than the genius of the Nine Percent Nine family of the Great Jin Dynasty! Even this ratio and scope can be expanded to ninety-nine clans in the whole world.
And the old man personally attended the family banquet to "catch the wind and wash the dust" for the little marquis of the Xie family, his attitude is self-evident, and he also has the intention to knock on some clansmen who have a wait-and-see attitude and a rejection attitude.
The old man only showed one side at the banquet, and after leaving a few words, he turned around and left. "Today's family banquet is for my future grandson-in-law to thank Shence, the Wang family and the Xie family will only be more closely related. Xie Shence will be my Wang family in the future, and you should all know what to do. If there is really a heart of civil strife, it disturbs the prosperity of the family, and the ancestral hall of the clan is not enshrined! β
The old man showed his identity as Xie Shence in an almost domineering manner. If there were still discordant voices in the Wang family when the marriage was decided, then after tonight's family banquet, there would no longer be any different voices on the surface. In this matter, since the three brothers in charge did not say anything, then any tentacles that dared to challenge the authority of the old man would be ruthlessly cut off.
At a family banquet, after there was no pressure from the old man, the brothers of the Wang family pulled a little, and then the topic was opened, and the atmosphere was re-enlivened.
On the swing frame in front of her own independent building, little Lori asked Brother Xie, "Second brother, why do you want to watch the lake alone in the afternoon?" β
After all, she is still a child, curiosity defeats reserve, for her, it is already the limit to forcibly endure a problem for half a day, not to mention that it is still about the "second brother".
Xie Shence didn't want to say it, but after thinking about it, he replied, "You know what? In a far, far away place, there may be a person who is exactly like you, and through the lake, you may be able to see the past and present lives. β
This kind of answer is not a solution to the problem for little Lori at all, she looked at Xie Shence's eyes, and there was a light in her small eyes that she couldn't understand.
Xie Shence touched Little Lori's head, looked into his eyes, looked at Little Lori and lowered her head with a blushing face, and said, "Huahua, actually, I just want to be a quiet beautiful man......"
On the bed, Xie Shence opened his eyes and digested what he had seen and heard in the Xie family for a day, first of all, the Xie family did not show too much politeness to his arrival, which made Xie Shence very satisfied. He didn't want to get too much attention.
Then there was the clear stance of the old man of the Wang family, and his unobtrusive posture, which made Xie Shence's original worry suppressed. Since ancient times, "inverted doors" have not been easy to do. The little fat man turmoil in the morning may not be a temptation by the Wang family, and there may also be Wang Ding's acquiescence. Xie Shence's response was definitely not perfect, but it was beyond the level of an ordinary family child, and Xie Shence was confident that he should be able to get a passing grade. Getting less points is definitely not what the old man of the Wang family wants to see. Take too much Xie Shence himself is unwilling, the gun shoots the first bird, he can't even cross the river dragon, in the huge Wang family, it's not good to be too smart.
Finally, it's tonight's family dinner. The Wang family is indeed a hall of words in the vein of the old man, and the old man Wang is basically a Lafayette-like existence. On the one hand, tonight's remarks are a formal recognition of Xie Shence's status: he is an ally and his own family; On the other hand, it is also to beat the discordant factors and help thank God for his power. Xie Shence is very grateful for the old man's intentions, no matter what the purpose, it is commendable to be able to make such a gesture, not to mention that Xie Shence can see that the old man does not look at himself like ordinary grandchildren, he is not condescending, a little curious, and a little respectful, which makes Xie Shence very useful.
However, this also fully shows that the Wang family does not agree with their "son-in-law" identity, judging from today's situation, even some people are quite disgusted, Xie Shence is not naΓ―ve to think that what happened this morning is just an accidental farce, although no adults ask, just like everyone tacitly selectively forgets, but Xie Shence quietly waits for the next trouble.
He didn't know who had opinions about him or the Xie family, and even if he knew, it would be difficult to make any effective response with his identity and energy and the environment he was in, not to mention that the marriage would be known only when it was older.
In this case, Xie Shence will not care about these things that are currently very unclear, and just get by.
However, since he has arrived at the Wang family, and it seems that his future life, especially after adulthood, will definitely not be as simple as just being a rich family and a bad boy as he thought at the beginning of the journey, then the most important thing at the moment is undoubtedly to enrich himself and make himself as strong as possible.
Alas, I just want to be a quiet beautiful man......
