Chapter 372: Reunited after a long absence
Xie Yi didn't know that the Jin King and his wife were ordering mandarin ducks for themselves and Princess Jinyang, and when they left the Furong Garden, he and Xu Hui went to the Hongwen Pavilion together to visit Xu Qidan, who was studying there.
Then he rushed out of the city before the city gate closed at noon, went straight to the Rongchuan villa, and after being promoted to the prince of Huaiyang County, His Majesty Li Er also generously gave Xie Yi all the land near the Lantian Gongchuan, which was regarded as the fief of the Duke of Huaiyang.
When I took the carriage back to the Rim Chuan Villa, it was already night, but the entire Rim Villa was brightly lit, and the whole family gathered at the door, looking forward to Xie Yi's return.
The three ladies were dressed in fur furs, and they were holding two children in their arms that were almost wrapped in balls, and when they saw Xie Yi get out of the carriage for the first time, they immediately burst into tears.
When Xie Yi walked in, the three ladies all gathered around, and the two children looked at Xie Yi with curiosity.
Xie Yu and Xie Xin's two children are almost one year old, and they have inherited the excellent genes of their parents.
Xie Yi didn't say a word, reached out and took the two children over, hugged them left and right, and said excitedly: "They have grown so big!" ”
"No, now they are all babbling, maybe they will call their father in two days."
"Come, call one!" Xie Yi teased, but the two sons just babbled, and the pronunciation was not real, which made everyone laugh.
Xie Yi looked up at the three ladies and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"Why do you say that it is hard work, as long as you come back safely, everything will be fine!" Du Xijun spoke softly and expressed the hearts of the three ladies.
Zheng Liwan asked, "What about Sister Xu who came back with you?" ”
While speaking, Xu Hui got out of the carriage behind and walked quickly. It stands to reason that this is the first time, and she should take the initiative to come to see her sisters, but considering that Xie Yi and the ladies have not seen each other for a long time, it is rude to disturb the reunion. So I deliberately delayed for a while before I hurriedly came to meet.
"Xu Hui meets your sisters." Xu Hui bowed. Shi Ran saluted.
"Sister, please get up!" Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan stepped forward together and stretched out their hands to help Xu Hui up.
Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "What Sister Xijun said is good, Sister Xu is really a peerless person." ”
"My sister laughed, Xu Hui can't afford it." Xu Hui's attitude was quite modest and polite.
Xie Yi smiled on the side: "Okay, let's go back to the house first, it's cold outside, and I'll feel distressed if I freeze any of them." ”
Everyone woke up this time, the climate in the mountains and fields was cold in winter nights, and it was indeed not suitable to stay outside, so Wu Meiniang guided in front of her head. immediately led everyone to the warm spring-like interior.
When the four girls saw each other, they seemed to hate each other, they had too many common topics with each other, and they sat on the side and chatted hotly, without stopping at all. Poor Huaiyang County Gongkong has four wives, but none of them are taken care of, but fortunately, the two sons are still in their arms.
Father and son are connected by nature, although they haven't seen each other for a long time. But the two little guys didn't recognize life at all, and they were quite well-behaved when they stayed in Xie Yi's arms. Sometimes he pulls Xie Yi's clothes, sometimes he scratches his ears and scratches his chin. is quite energetic, as a father, Xie Yi is naturally a pet of his precious son.
It wasn't until a long time later that Xie Yu peed his pants and screamed to express his dissatisfaction. Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and several mothers were busy changing their son's diapers.
After that, he was handed over to the nurse to feed, and it was only then that he realized that his stomach was rumbling. Hurry up and ask the cook to bring a sumptuous dinner.
After more than half a year, it is rare for the Xie family to get together again for a reunion dinner, and of course, there is one more family member!
This meal is naturally very happy, and the family is rarely happy, and they are separated after parting, and the meal is not over until the end of the meal.
After dinner, Du Xijun took the two children to settle down, Wu Meiniang and Xu Hui seemed to hit it off at first sight and went to stay in another courtyard together. Zheng Liwan was busy instructing his subordinates to clean up, and placed many items brought back by Hou Ye from Qizhou in different categories.
As for Xie Yi, he directly became the shopkeeper and was pushed to the hot spring to bathe, so that he could relieve his fatigue. Also, these days I was presiding over the war in Qizhou, and then I was tired all the way, I was really tired, and there was a hot spring in the Rimchuan Villa, and it was naturally good to bathe in the hot spring to relieve fatigue.
Xie Yi leaned against the edge of the marble-paved bath, forcing his eyes to think about the current situation, there was no doubt that the upcoming fifteen years of Zhenguan had too many changes and was of great significance.
The situation will also change completely from this year, the king of Qi Li You rebelled, the crown prince Li Chengqian went through several twists and turns, and the king of Wei Li Tai's desire to compete for the prince and heir has been revealed. As for Li Ke, the king of Wu, Xie Yi couldn't see through it after the contact in Qizhou, Li Ke was very cautious, whether it was Taoguang or unintentional to fight, it was really hard to say.
In the original history, Li Ke did not seem to participate in the seizure of the heir, but was finally killed by the eldest grandson Wuji on the charge of rebellion, because of Li Ke's qualifications and ability to become the crown prince. In this situation, it is really difficult to judge whether he has any thoughts about the position of the prince and whether he has specific plans and actions.
As for Li Zhi, Xie Yi never talked to him about the possibility of becoming a prince, and Li Zhi himself never proposed or expressed such thoughts. Maybe he never thought about it, maybe he thought about it but thought it was impossible considering the reality, but Xie Yi felt that Li Zhi was fully qualified and qualified.
If one day, the situation comes to that point and you want to push him up, he should not refuse, it should be.
Just as Xie Yi was thinking, the sound of soft footsteps sounded in the hot spring bath, Xie Yi didn't care, it must be someone close to him who could enter here, and the guards around the courtyard were not vegetarians.
Sure enough, the soft and delicate fingers then rested on the shoulder and gently massaged. Xie Yi didn't open his eyes, so he said, "Liwan, have all the New Year's gifts been arranged?" ”
The person behind her was Zheng Liwan, she was not surprised that Xie Yi could guess her identity, and said softly: "It has been arranged, will you visit in person on the first day, or will you send someone to send it?" ”
"Send someone to send it, as soon as I go home, I won't be too lazy to go out, Your Majesty has granted me a rest, and I don't have to go to Taiji Palace to congratulate on the first day, and the other families don't have to go." Xie Yi shook his head lightly, tossing most of the outside, he really didn't want to get involved in these things in the near future.
Zheng Liwan said softly: "It's okay, I'll arrange it." You have a good rest at home! ”
"I've worked hard for you these days when I'm away." Xie Yi knew that when he was no longer in Chang'an, Zheng Liwan was the backbone of the family. And she not only has to take care of the mansion, but also shoulders all the courtesies and exchanges in the Huaiyang County Mansion, the family business and possible dangers, and she has a lot to worry about.
Zheng Liwan said: "It's okay, it's a pity that Sister Jun and Mei Niang help me, everything is fine, the important thing is that you are safe and sound." Our Xie family is also thriving. ”
"It's thriving, but the higher you go, the more you feel that the high place is unbearable!" Xie Yi sighed lightly, there is a way that Mu Xiu will destroy in the forest wind. He is too young, but he is already in a high position in the county, it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied or jealous, I don't know if there will be anyone who knows what is going on behind his back.
Zheng Liwan thought deeply and said: "I would rather you not be rewarded by this county prince, and the edict will be issued today." I don't know how many people in Chang'an City will have hot eyes. They only see San Lang's scenery, but they don't know how much you have paid and how many dangers you have experienced. ”
"People are like this, they only care about the glamorous. The effort behind it is often overlooked. Xie Yi shook his head and said softly: "Let them be, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth." ”
"Well, it's mediocre not to attract envy. The more people are jealous, the more it shows that my Saburo is excellent. Zheng Liwan has a lot of praise for her husband.
Xie Yi smiled: "Liwan's mouth is so sweet, so ...... There should be a reward. ”
Between words. Xie Yi stood up from the bath, hurriedly wiped the water stains on his body, and hugged Zheng Liwan by the waist.
The beauty whispered slightly, then bowed her head shyly, and a delicate and charming blush appeared on her face.
"It's all old husbands and wives, why are you shy!" Xie Yi reported his wife to the warm kang in the inner room and said with a smile.
Zheng Liwan said leisurely: "It's a long journey all the way, ...... should have let you rest"
"I'm not tired, I don't feel tired at all when I see you." Xie Yi suddenly had a wicked smile on his face.
Zheng Liwan said in a low voice: "Well, Sister Xijun insisted that I come first tonight, and Mei Niang and her later...... I couldn't excuse myself, so I came. ”
Xie Yi smiled lightly, he knew in his heart that after being separated for more than half a year, the ladies naturally missed their husbands very much, and they had already discussed the order of waiting before they came back.
Du Xijun has accompanied Xie Yi for a lot of time in Huaiyang, and the separation is relatively short, so Zheng Liwan and Wu Meiniang are naturally in front, and Xu Hui, who has been the favorite of the special room recently, naturally wants to avoid it for a few days temporarily.
Xie Yi nodded and said, "Well, after a long time, it's important to think about it!" ”
"Liar, Sister Xijun is with you in Huaiyang, and Xu Niangzi is with you in Qizhou...... Where do you remember people? ”
"My Liwan is jealous?" Xie Yi looked at Zheng Liwan's slightly jealous and coquettish appearance, and suddenly felt funny, then stared at the beauty's beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Each of you is unique, everyone is my baby, and it is true to have others to accompany you, but it is also true that I miss you." ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, the feeling of longing is as hot as a volcano, you can just try it." Xie Yi had a wicked smile on his face and turned over.
The beauty shouted in a low voice, and extinguished the red candle on the side of the kang, and the beauty in the room was not enough for outsiders.
……
The next morning, Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan naturally woke up late, waking up from their sleep when the red sun had already crossed the ridge.
Especially Zheng Liwan, she is somewhat embarrassed.
Xiao Bisheng is newly married, and he was naturally crazy last night, but he didn't expect to be so ...... Alas!
Originally, the joy of the boudoir of husband and wife was nothing, but now there are many wives in the family, and if they get up late in the morning, they will inevitably be laughed at......
Xie Yi smiled: "It's okay, whoever laughs at you today, you laugh at whoever you laugh at tomorrow, and help your husband out your anger at night." ”
"You......"
"What? Don't believe in the strength of a husband? Who whispered to me last night? If you're not convinced, let's compare and contrast now? Xie Yi smiled evilly, quite proud.
Zheng Liwan's face was flushed, and she retreated again and again: "Isn't it okay if people are afraid?" Go find the other sisters tonight and go to ......."
Sure enough, in the next few days, the ladies of the Xie family were laughed at in turn, and they all blushed once.
The young and vigorous Xie Jungong is full of might, and he is still majestic when he sings every night, which makes several ladies satisfied first, and then they all say goodbye again and again......
Zhenguan's sixteen-year vacation was spent in such a rhythm, not to mention how proud and happy he was. I didn't participate in the ushering send-off that was supposed to be in the New Year's Festival, but just sent people to send gifts and greetings.
I am familiar with the princely palaces, and my best friends fully understand this, and the Marquis Xie has been out for more than half a year, and it is the time when Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and it is understandable that he has no time.
The princes' mansions know more clearly in their hearts that it is a good thing that Xie Yi does not come to the door at this time, there are too many turmoil in the court this year, especially the chaos of the princes at the end of the year. And Xie Yi, as a key figure involved in it, has a lot of rights and wrongs around him, and it is a good thing not to meet everyone at this time.
Therefore, no one went to the Gongchuan villa to visit, and only sent some gifts, Xie Yi was naturally happy to be idle. After the tenth day of the first lunar month, on the days when the future generations have already gone to work, Xie Yi's family is still happily sitting in the yard basking in the sun, and Xie Yi is even more happy and in a good mood.
Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan have the attitude of a young son who is full of everything, and Wu Meiniang and Xu Hui on the side subconsciously touched their lower abdomen, probably wondering whether their husband's sowing was lucky enough to take root in the past few days. It can be seen that they are quite hopeful for their heirs, but they are not in a hurry.
As long as the husband comes back, he can be favored every three or five times, live in a blessed place like Gongchuan Villa, and invite Sun Shenxian to diagnose and recuperate, it is a matter of time before there is good news.
Over there, Zheng Liwan hugged Xie Xin in her arms and said softly: "San Lang, you have estimated the sisters in the family, but there are ...... outside."
"Outside?" Xie Yi was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Madame is serious, and her husband has never been in a foreign house...... This lady is so generous, if there were anyone, I would have brought it back a long time ago, didn't I? ”
Facing Xie Yi's jokes, Zheng Liwan shook her head lightly and said, "Is there really no one outside?" The husband's memory is so bad? ”
"Uh......"
Zheng Liwan said: "In the past few days that you have been outside, the county lord of Anning has been living in the Taoist temple, and now the title of Princess Wencheng has gone, but she still has not returned to the palace." ”
Saying this, Xie Yi suddenly realized that Li Anning, who was supposed to marry to the plateau, stayed because he embarrassed Lu Dongzan. But the identity is inevitably a little embarrassing, and the purpose of staying in the Taoist temple is to give the emperor a reason to remove the princess's title.
But now that the ban has been withdrawn, he still doesn't go home, which is ......
Zheng Liwan said leisurely: "I heard that Princess Jiangxia has the intention to choose another husband for the county lord, but Princess An Ning insists on leading the cultivation in the Baiyun Temple. This heart, Saburo can't turn a blind eye, right? (To be continued.) )
