Chapter 129: Plotting in the Dark
"But I will." Wang Qingyun hooked her lips sneeringly, and her eyes were full of disdain: "When the Xie family is good, there is no need for them to add icing on the cake, the Xie family is in trouble, but my loved ones will follow suit." Husband, I will never forgive! ”
Because of herself, her wife even gave up her mother's family. In the past three years, except for her mother-in-law, her wife has never exchanged letters with anyone else in the Wang family. It was the birthday gift sent by the father-in-law on the birthday of several children, and the wife also returned it all.
The more resolute his wife was, the more Xie Han felt sorry for and guilty about her.
Xie Han held Wang Qingyun's pair of jade hands in the palm of his palm and pinched it gently: "Qingqing, my father-in-law has helped me a lot in the past two years......
"Husband, don't speak for my father." Wang Qingyun knows her father, and she understands in her heart that her husband doesn't want to embarrass herself, but the Wang family has gone too far, so why should her husband be compromised because of herself every time. It doesn't matter if she is an extrovert, since the Wang family has treated her as a married girl as a spilled water, why should she show mercy to the Wang family.
"Husband, my father helped you, but it was just to control Zhang Fuming and fight with Zhang Fuming. If it weren't for my father, why would Zhang Gaonian have repeatedly made things difficult for you in the past few years. I once wrote a letter to my father asking for help, but my father just told me to endure it and told me not to get involved in men's affairs. ”
Wang Qingyun snorted coldly: "He doesn't recognize me as a daughter, and I don't want him as a father." ”
Wang Qingyun is Wang Jin's only daughter, and has always been favored in the Wang family, when the old lady of the Wang family was still there, and Wang Qingyun, the only granddaughter, was regarded as the pearl in the palm of her hand, and she was very spoiled, that is, Wang Jin, and she didn't dare to have a heavy word about this daughter. Over time, he developed Wang Qingyun's temper of being soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and he couldn't rub a grain of sand in his eyes.
"That's it, husband, why bother talking about these unpleasant things." Wang Qingyun frowned, didn't want to talk about the Wang family anymore, and changed the topic stiffly.
"Husband, my father and Zhang Fuming have been rivals for many years, and they know each other well. The Zhang family has no successors except Zhang Fuming, if the husband proposes friendship to Zhang Fuming at this time, he will definitely repay ......the favor."
Xie Han's handsome face floated with a helpless smile, and he said softly: "Qingqing, I am my father-in-law's son-in-law. rashly befriended Zhang Fuming, not only was he suspected of being in the twilight of the Qin Dynasty, but also made his father-in-law a laughing stock. It would be unwise to hurt a thousand enemies and eight hundred to oneself in this way. ”
His wife was angry, and Xie Han could only rack his brains to persuade him.
"Husband, what are you afraid of?" Wang Qingyun glanced at her husband obliquely, and a pair of horizontal waves seemed to smile: "Back then, my sister-in-law wanted to tell her young daughter to Yu Xiu. That's your eldest son. I originally wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the prince's mansion for him, but because of the sister-in-law's affection, I reluctantly agreed. As a result, as soon as the prince welcomed Chen Rong into the East Palace, the sister-in-law came to withdraw from the marriage. is so inflammatory, if it spreads, the world will only talk about his royal family! ”
Xie Han didn't expect his wife to have such a plan in her heart, it can be seen that she hated all her brothers and sisters-in-law.
The Wang family broke their promises in the past, if this marriage is made public, and he befriends Zhang Fuming again, not only will he not be infamous, but he will also win a wave of sympathy from everyone. But the wife is caught in the middle, so you can't avoid listening to some rumors, maybe some people will think that the wife who broke off relations with her mother's family because of a marriage is too ruthless.
The marriage contract of the eldest son has been withdrawn, even if he has dealings with the Wang family again, he can still have a reputation for generosity, and his wife can also visit his mother-in-law.
Therefore, Xie Han tried his best to do this peacemaker: "Qingqing, Your Majesty rewarded Yu Xiu and Wei Zhou with the titles of the two founding county men some time ago, and I have already accepted the congratulatory gift sent by my father-in-law's military department." Qingqing looks at my face......"
Before Xie Han finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Qingyun unhappily: "Husband, how can you make your own decisions?" What about gifts? I'm going to let people go back. ”
Although her husband is well-intentioned, Wang Qingyun will never accept it, and her brothers and sisters-in-law at home think that she can't do it. She is a first-class marquis, and her husband is a feudal official with 200,000 Northwest Army, why bother to look at the faces of the Wang family! What's more, the crown prince hasn't ascended the throne yet!
Wang Qingyun frowned slightly, and said with a cold face: "I know that my husband is thinking about me, and I am afraid that I will have a stiff relationship with my mother's family." You don't have to. ”
In the past three years, even if it was her younger sister's birthday, the three brothers on top of her head seemed to be completely unaware. Now that the Wang family wants to rebuild the old friendship with themselves, it's too late!
"Husband, that's it. When I was in the boudoir, I was familiar with the second lady of the Zhang family, and she happened to return to the capital, so I will repair a book to find out her tone. ”
His wife has made up her mind, and Xie Han doesn't want to make her unhappy because of outsiders, so she has to bow her head with kindness.
Seeing this, Wang Qingyun's mood suddenly eased a lot. She has a husband who dotes on her and protects her, smart and clever children, and a sister-in-law who is about to become the master of the middle palace, so why bother to be angry with those irrelevant people.
Wang Qingyun thought of this section, and her eyebrows, which were still a little angry, instantly softened, and her voice was as gentle as water: "As for Yu Xiu's marriage." I've got eyebrows. What does the husband think of the Pei family? ”
Xie Han only groaned: "You mean Pei Tongguang, the squire of the Chinese book?" ”
"What the husband said is right, it is the eldest granddaughter of Master Pei's family, who is only one year younger than our Yu Xiu." Above the court, civil officials and military attaches are always two camps, and the two sides are clearly distinguished, and there is little contact.
Wang Qingyun was born in the Wang family that has been hairpins for generations, such as the Zhang family, the Pei family, and the Cao family, which is a lesson she has to learn since she was a child, so Wang Qingyun knows the Pei family very well.
"Master Pei is in the prime of life, and he is only the age when he knows the destiny of heaven when he sits in the position of a Chinese scholar. My father is now a sixtieth birthday, and Zhang Fuming is five years older than my father. When Zhang Fuming resigns, there is a high probability that His Majesty will choose one of my father and Master Pei. ”
Wang Qingyun blinked, a bright light flashed in her eyes, and she said in a rare playful manner: "Husband, who do you think Your Majesty will choose to be Lord Zhang's successor?" ”
This question may be difficult for others to answer, but Xie Han has called His Majesty's cousin for so many years, and he still knows a little about His Majesty today. A dark glint flashed in his eyes, and he hooked his lips: "If it is the first emperor, the candidate in his heart must be an old and serious person like his father-in-law, but His Majesty is different, he prefers people with sharp energy." ”
Is this saying that his father is in the twilight? This guy thought that he was really a saint and could have nothing to do with his father, but it was all hidden in his heart.
Wang Qingyun felt more and more that her husband was cute, and a pair of wonderful eyes leaked a hint of a smile, and she nodded: "Not bad." Therefore, I must hire the eldest granddaughter of Master Pei for Yu Xiu. ”
The military generals basically did not interact with each other. The eldest daughter-in-law candidate in Wang Qingyun's heart was only planned to be found in the Xungui family at first. But now, my sister is about to become the queen, and in the long run, it is best to hire a daughter of the Wenchen family as the eldest daughter-in-law.
Zhang Fuming's granddaughter was originally one of the candidates, but the Zhang family had no descendants except for the Jeju Taishou Jiang Shaoguang's son. But the Pei family is different. Pei Tongguang's sons are promising, and there are many talented people among the grandchildren.
The smile in Xie Han's eyes was so thick that it was about to flow out, and he said with a smile: "Madame's wishful thinking is wonderful, I'm afraid that the Pei family will not agree to marry her granddaughter." ”
"Isn't there still His Majesty?" Wang Qingyun's delicate face showed a sly smile, she was like a cunning fox: "You might as well write this matter on the fold, take the opportunity to test Your Majesty's tone, and you can just see Your Majesty's intentions." ”
"Nonsense!" Xie Han's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said with a fierce face: "The fold I presented to His Majesty is a major event of the military aircraft, how can it be a private matter!" ”
"What are you murdering!" Wang Qingyun raised her eyebrows dissatisfied, and went directly to Xie Han's itch.
Xie Han is not afraid of the sky or the earth, even if he is injured, he does not frown, but he is most afraid of itching. This is still a secret that Wang Qingyun discovered by chance.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Qingyun made a fuss, Xie Han immediately couldn't hold back, he lay on the bed and laughed, his laughter was clear and hearty, revealing a bold and uninhibited taste, which was extremely pleasant.
"You're a big paper worm, and you dare to play prestige in front of me!" Wang Qingyun snorted lightly.
"Although I am a big worm, I am also afraid of you, a mother worm!" Xie Han had a mocking look on his face.
dared to scold his mother for being a big insect, Wang Qingyun was furious, and he didn't scratch Xie Han's armpits, and he was about to pinch the muscles on Xie Han's arms with his backhand.
His wife's strength was not painful for Xie Han, but Xie Han pretended to be in pain on his face, looked at his wife with a smug face, and gradually relaxed his vigilance.
Taking advantage of his wife's negligence and carelessness, Xie Han turned against the guest, pressed Wang Qingyun under him, grabbed Wang Qingyun's slender jade hands with one arm, raised them to the top of his head, and said very proudly: "Now I know what is one foot high and one foot high!" ”
The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, Wang Qingyun was still a little troubled and couldn't understand how she became a prisoner under the steps, looking at Xie Han's flying eyebrows, she realized that her husband had just screamed out in pain but was cheating, Wang Qingyun struggled angrily: "Let go of me, if a few children come in and see it, what kind of system!" ”
"Don't worry, the maid is guarding the door, and no one can break in." Xie Han looked at his wife's fluffy sideburns and discoloration, and didn't hold back, but directly pouted and grabbed his wife's two red lips, tossing and grinding......
If it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight, Xie Han would have been absent for a long time, and I was afraid that he would have directly pressed his wife's Spring Festival.
When the kiss between the two ended, Wang Qingyun's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were blurred, and she looked panting, Xie Han gritted her teeth, and hurriedly pulled up his wife's loose clothes, and pinched Wang Qingyun's slippery face with hatred: "Wait until night, I must let my wife lose her armor!" ”
"Phew!" Wang Qingyun spat at Xie Han and said hatefully: "You old cultivator!" Yu Xiu will marry a daughter-in-law in a few years, and you haven't done it yet! ”
"Are you disgusted that I'm old?" Xie Han snorted, and the peach blossom eyes were filled with a thick look of dissatisfaction.
"Don't tell me that!" Wang Qingyun sat up from the couch, she snuggled into Xie Han's arms, and said softly: "You used to call Your Majesty 'Uncle Cousin', and now Your Majesty is about to become our 'brother-in-law'. ”
Wang Qingyun pursed her lips when she said this, and her eyes were full of brilliance: "If Your Majesty agrees to this marriage, then the position of the prince will really be unstable." On the contrary, you and I should worry about my sister's future. ”
Wang Qingyun's move can be said to be a stone-throwing to ask for directions, which is very clever.
Xie Han shook his head, with a helpless and conniving tone: "Qingqing, you underestimated Your Majesty." This scheming of yours is like a blank sheet of paper in front of His Majesty. ”
Those treacherous and cunning courtiers in the court are not His Majesty's opponents, and His Majesty can see through this plan of Qingqing at a glance.
"So what." Wang Qingyun blinked with a pair of wonderful eyes, she looked like she was winning, and said confidently: "Husband, in your eyes, Your Majesty is just Your Majesty; But in my eyes, he is the one who will become my brother-in-law in the future. Even if he is His Majesty, if he wants to marry our sister, he has to give the Xie family this face. Even if His Majesty refuses, it won't make you and me ugly. ”
Xie Han was stunned by his wife's words, and after a while, he sighed and smiled, with a happy and sincere expression: "It's me who looks like you." Madame is really my good help. ”
"Since my husband agreed, then I will go and write a letter. Although it is best for His Majesty to grant marriage by holy decree, I still have to inform the Pei family first, so as not to make a marriage, but to make a feud. ”
"Madame is thoughtful." Watching his wife get off the bed in a hurry, walk to the desk and sit down, grinding and waving, Xie Han's eyes were gentle. If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!
……
After Xie Yanhe learned that Wei Zhao was fine, he did not stay in the palace for a long time, and had lunch with Princess Fuqing, and Xie Yanhe went out of the palace directly.
After returning home, she had just changed into homely clothes, and the maid hurriedly came in and said, "The slave and maid ask the county lord for peace." The county lord, the eldest princess of Changning, asked to see him. ”
"Why is Aunt Changning's grandmother here? Please let her in. Xie Yan and Dai frowned slightly, and put on their shoes: "Forget it, I'll go and greet it in person." ”
Xie Yanhe was extremely tired, and he was not very welcome to the eldest princess of Changning, who came to the door rashly. But she is a junior after all, and this face still has to be given to the eldest princess of Changning, so she can only endure the exhaustion and go out to greet her.
Fortunately, Xie Yanhe didn't go far, as soon as she got out of the yard, she collided head-on with the fiery eldest princess of Changning.
"Yonghe greets my aunt and grandmother." Xie Yanhe hurriedly saluted.
The eldest princess of Changning personally helped Xie Yanhe up, and her round face was no longer as rosy as before, but sallow and haggard, and the thick green shadow under her eyes did not sleep well at first glance.
"Yan He, in front of my aunt and grandmother, there is no need to be so polite. Let's go in and talk. ”
The eldest princess of Changning and the eldest princess of Ping'an have gone through three dynasties, although the eldest princess of Ping'an is a princess, the eldest princess of Changning is only a concubine, but she is as arrogant and domineering as her sister.
Now the eldest princess of Changning has put down her figure in front of Xie Yan and a junior, so cordial and kind, there is no need for the eldest princess of Changning to speak, Xie Yanhe has already guessed the reason for her visit.
Although Xie Yanhe knew the purpose of the eldest princess of Changning, he still welcomed the eldest princess of Changning into the flower hall gently and politely, invited the eldest princess of Changning to the throne, and she personally presented a dragon well before the Ming Dynasty.
"I heard that my aunt and grandmother like Longjing tea, I don't know if it suits your appetite."
"You kid has a heart." The eldest princess of Changning looked at Xie Yanhe's indescribable love, which was no different from looking at her own daughter.
"In a blink of an eye, our Yan He has grown so big, slim and elegant, and born like this, but it's a pity that none of the grandchildren in this palace have become a finished product, otherwise, this palace really can't wait to snatch you home to be my granddaughter-in-law."
The eldest princess of Changning's politeness is just to thank Yan and listen to it. Since she was divorced by the crown prince, who dares to ask for marriage if anyone in the capital is more particular.
Therefore, Xie Yanhe just smiled shyly, and his voice was soft: "Grandmother has tormented me." Yan and Pu Liu's posture did not dare to be praised by their aunts and grandmothers. ”
"Look at it, our family Yan and Lian have a first-class temperament, and I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future."
The eldest princess of Changning took a sip of the tea leaves in the cup, and the familiar fragrance on the tip of her tongue made her slightly stunned. This girl of the Xie family is really smart, and the jasmine flowers made in the dragon well seem to really know her preferences.
The eldest princess of Changning felt a sigh in her heart, the prince gave up the pearl and went to the fish, and he didn't have the demeanor of His Majesty at all, and he didn't know who he looked like.
Thinking of the rumors about the Chen family, the disgust in the eyes of the eldest princess of Changning flashed, probably following his stupid biological mother.
Brat? The smile in Xie Yanhe's eyes flashed away, and he didn't know what Wei Zhao's expression would be after listening to the words of the eldest princess of Changning.
Xie Yanhe couldn't help biting the corners of his mouth. Afraid that the eldest princess of Changning would see something wrong, she hurriedly lowered her head and said in a voice: "Grandmother, don't always make fun of me." ”
Xie Yanhe's sweet voice with a little shyness interrupted the thoughts of the eldest princess of Changning, and the eldest princess of Changning came back to her senses instantly. Looking at the fairy-looking girl in front of her, she felt a little sincere pity in her heart, and those polite words were a little unbearable.
The atmosphere in the flower hall was a little dull. Or Xie Yanhe took the initiative to break the deadlock: "Grandmother, when you came to the door today, did you have something to tell Yan He?" ”
When the eldest princess of Changning heard this, her dignified and graceful face showed a wry smile, and she said: "Yan He, I won't tell you that my aunt and grandmother do have something to ask for. ”
