It took a long time for Xie Shence to calm down.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Xie Shence felt more and more uneasy, and he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.

Huaiyang said that there should always be movement when such a big thing happened. If it weren't for the aunt and uncle who forcibly suppressed this matter, something happened to Tiqi's side.

However, there is no way that something could go wrong with Ti Cai. After the reorganization, Ti Cai, any order to Xie Shence was completed without any discount.

Then, the problem can only be on Zhang Xiang's side.

This is the only possibility that Xie Shence can think of.

Zhang Xiang belongs to the power of the Xie family, and it does not coincide with the Ti Qi Division, the two parties are only working closely because of Xie Shence, not who belongs to whom and who leads whom. But also because of Xie Shence, Zhang Xiang Huaiyang Dao Tiqi's request is generally not refused, and similarly, Tiqi also needs to obtain Zhang Xiang's consent on some things, at least opinions.

Therefore, it is very likely that the aunt and uncle made some requests to Ti Qi through Zhang Xiang, such as keeping secrets, so that the news of Lao Shangshu could not reach Jindu.

Thinking of this, Xie Shence felt the need to clarify things.

"I will send someone to Huaiyang Dao to find out the ins and outs of this matter. Flowey, let's not be too sad until the facts are clear. After all, my aunt and grandfather, what storms and waves have he not experienced? Dozens ≌, how many assassinations have you suffered in ≡ years, aren't they all okay? Don't worry anymore."

Xie Shence hugged Wang Jiehua in his arms and comforted him for a long time before Wang Jiehua fell asleep.

coaxed Wang Jiehua to sleep, but Xie Shence lost sleep. Whenever he was about to fall asleep, his heart would twitch, and the pain kept him awake and unable to sleep.

Lao Shangshu may really be dead.

Xie Shence did not tell Wang Jiehua.

There is no news from Huaiyang Road, in fact, isn't it just waiting for the bad news to come?

It's just that they don't want to make their wedding go on, and they don't want to be distracted when dealing with Zheng Keming.

No news, that's news. It's also attitude.

I couldn't sleep at all, so Xie Shence got up with my clothes, came to the study, began to spread out the paper and polish the ink, and then wrote a letter. He wanted to write to Zhou Jinmian.

After writing the letter and putting it away, it is already the end of the fourth watch. Xie Shence felt a little sleepy, and the pain in his heart was no longer there, so he went to bed gently and quietly.

It was quite cool on the fourth watch, and there was an ice bucket in the room, Xie Shence pressed the quilt for Wang Jiehua, and he also lay down and fell asleep.

Not long after lying down, Xie Shence felt a soft body lying on his chest. Xie Shence smiled slightly, then stretched out his left hand, gently moved Wang Jiehua's head into the crook of his arm, being careful not to pull her hair, and then closed his eyes.

In a blur, Wang Jiehua arched into his arms like a kitten. Xie Shence subconsciously moved to the side of the bed, and then Wang Jiehua chased after him again, using his hands and feet to tie Xie Shence.

Xie Shence slept very lightly, and woke up after two faint rooster crows in the morning. As soon as I woke up, I felt tightness in my chest and shortness of breath, and I moved, and then I smiled dumbly.

Wang Jiehua wrapped around himself like an octopus, his head tilted and pillowed on his chest, and the corners of his mouth were slightly open.

Well? The chest was wet.

The corners of Xie Shence's mouth rose slightly, and he was drooling when he didn't sleep honestly.

Wiping the corners of Wang Jiehua's mouth with his collar, Xie Shence put Wang Jiehua down lightly, and then nodded on her delicate red lips, and wanted to get out of bed.

Unexpectedly, Xie Shence just reached the ground with his feet and his hands were still on the edge of the bed, and he was dragged by Wang Jiehua.

"Sleep a little longer"

Xie Shence looked at Wang Jiehua, who was muttering with his eyes closed, smiled helplessly, and had to lie down.

Most of the aristocratic ladies have the habit of sleeping lazy, Wang Jiehua is used to going to bed early and getting up late, and Wang Qingyan does not get up until three poles in the morning. Even Xu Luwei, who claimed to be born as "bitter haha", used to live in the courtyard of Weihou Mansion, and it was often Xie Shence who came back from Tiqisi at noon that Xu Luwei had breakfast.

Of course, since they are all beautiful women, and they are women who have a close relationship with Xie Shence, they also have another common characteristic: unsightly sleep.

is like Wang Jiehua in front of him, not only likes to pester people when he sleeps, but also likes to drool once he sleeps with his head tilted. Although every time she gets up, she is ashamed to explain that she is not like this at home.

Xie Shence couldn't sleep anymore, just took a soft pillow and leaned on the head of the bed, and when Caiyi came in to ask for instructions, he asked Caiyi to bring a book in, holding Wang Jiehua, who didn't want to get up, with one hand and reading the book with the other.

It was easy to get up until Wang Jiehua got up, thanked Shence for having breakfast hastily, and then called a Tiqi and asked him to transfer a letter written last night to Zhou Jinmian.

After that, Xie Shence went to the old lady Fu and the old lady, and accompanied the old lady to play chess for a while, and when he lost three games in a row, Wang Jiehua came over, and Xie Xance hurriedly let Xian, and he and the old lady served tea and watched the game on the side.

Wang Jiehua's chess strength is certainly much stronger than Xie Shence, in fact, not long after the two sisters of the Wang family were pulled by Xie Shence to learn chess, Xie Shence was no longer an opponent at all.

Wang Jiehua's layout is quite neutral and atmospheric, compared to the old lady's step-by-step killing machine, it seems much more orthodox, although the closing stage lost a good game, but Xie Shence can also see that it is not Wang Jiehua careless or deliberately humble. Under the old lady's step-by-step killing machine, every step of the fall made the opponent stop on the verge of nine deaths, and in the second half, the room left for each step can be transformed into a killing machine, circulating with each other, and killing moves continue.

At the end of the game, Wang Jiehua said: "Grandpa's chess is very powerful, it seems that it only attacks but does not defend, but in fact, it is interlocking, and the granddaughter-in-law is ashamed." ”

The old lady smiled, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your grandfather's chess was originally like me, murderous. However, when playing against the old man, he always loses more and wins less. It's just that later I was biased towards the dignified and deep Confucianism, but I was able to fight a draw with the old man. It took a lot of thought for you girl to be able to entangle with the old man for a long time. This kung fu, compared to your grandfather, is already an eight-point true inheritance. It's just that I played with the old man, and I'm still immature. ”

After that, the grandfather and grandson played another game, and the ending was naturally not surprising that Wang Jiehua lost his son in the closing stage.

In the happy laughter of the old lady, Xie Shence asked the servants to eat, Wang Jiehua went to invite Xie Shenpei over, and the family had lunch.

During the banquet, Xie Shence secretly glanced at Xie Shenpei a few times, and found that her several smiles did not seem to be fake, and she should have come out of the emotion of marriage failure, so she was a little relieved.

In the afternoon, Xie Shence, Wang Xie Hua and Xie Shenpei, Pei and the old lady went to the Qinshui River to fish. The three carriages and the servants and maids of the house came to the river beach like ordinary rich families when they traveled, and chose a shady place to fish quietly.

The old lady and Xie Shence were fishing, Wang Jiehua and Xie Shenpei were resting in the tents set up by the servants, and the maids who knew the rhythm of music at home also brought silk and bamboo musical instruments, and several people sang and danced on the grass covered with blankets, and there were also servants who cut the melons and fruits and chilled them for the heat relief.

After a while, Xie Shence came out on top, caught the first fish, not big or two and a half catties, thrown in a bamboo basket made of willow branches, and soaked in water to raise. Soon the old lady also had a harvest, and after that, some domestic servants, including Xie Laosan, took the bait.

After all, the old lady is too old to sit for a long time. Although it was windy by the river, it was quite sultry, and it didn't take long for me to enter the tent to rest, sing and sing songs with my granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law, and enjoy the family.

At this time, there are many people traveling, and there are even more in this section of the river. Except for the fishermen on the water, most of them are wealthy people with constant income, playing with friends or their own families. Earlier, some people saw the figure of the old lady here and wanted to come to visit, but they were all stopped by the big housekeeper, and no one came over after that.

In the evening, they gathered their tents and went back to the city.

The result of the afternoon is the evening dishes. The fresh river fish stew soup is braised and everyone eats it very deliciously.

After dinner, Xie Shence discussed the matter of the artillery battalion in the old lady's study.

In fact, although the artillery battalion has never told the old lady Fu, the use of the Xie family's iron guard and a series of operations secretly will definitely not be able to hide it from the old lady. Xie Shence didn't say it, and the old lady never took the initiative to mention it to Xie Shence.

At least Xie Shence knew that there were a few times when he almost got out of the basket, but the old lady settled it quietly. It's just that the old lady never said it.

In the study, Xie Shence said, "There is something I want to say to my grandfather. ”

"Hmm." The old lady took a sip of tea. The old man always thought that tea was a relief from the heat, so he insisted on drinking tea. Although the body is not as good as before, it still looks quite tough.

"In March of this year, when I came back to worship my ancestors, my grandson went to the north of the city. There, there are some things for the grandchildren. The grandson has never told his grandfather, presumably the grandfather also knows something, and the things made there are very important to the grandson. ”

The old lady nodded and said, "The old man does know. In recent months, some people have said that there is a thunderstorm on the side of Yangshangou from time to time, either a demon has become a spirit or a hermit has attained the Tao, and the important things you want to talk about are all related? ”

Xie Shence nodded and said, "Yes." The grandson is there, and he has made some things, which will surely play a huge role in the future, whether it is to save his life or to deal with the enemy. Now there have been some results, when I went to Yangquan before, my grandson brought some as an experiment, and the results were very good. ”

The old lady became interested and asked, "Oh? What is it that makes my grandchild so happy? Let's hear it. ”

Xie Shence smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa knows about Greek fire, right?" ”

"Is that it?"

"No, not Greek fire. It's something more explosive than Greek fire, and it's so big if research succeeds. Xie Shence compared the size of a basin and said, "Such a big thing, as long as there are about a dozen, it can blow up a section of the city wall." ”

The old lady's eyes widened suddenly.

"How is this possible!"

"I want to ask my grandfather to go to Yangshangou with my grandson tomorrow to see if it's true or not."

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Okay." ”
