Chapter 44 Books
The curtain of the carriage was lifted by the simple and slender fingers, and in the next moment, Qi Wenfu, who was wearing a blue blue plain brocade robe and an ink-colored cloak, got down from the carriage with the hands of the little servant.
His face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were cold, and when he stood in front of the door, he attracted many people to look at him.
There were already people waiting outside the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and there were already people going to the mansion to pass the ceremony when they saw the carriage stop, and Xie Qingheng had already come out at this time, and after seeing Qi Wenfu, he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "The student has seen Qi Sacrifice Wine." ”
"This is not a national eunuch, so you don't have to be polite outside." Qi Wenfu said.
"It's a bad word to sacrifice wine, you are an elder teacher, no matter where the students are, you can't be disrespectful."
Xie Qingheng said first, and seeing that Qi Wenfu was noncommittal, he didn't say anything more, so as not to make Qi Wenfu feel that he intended to curry favor and flattery, he just said to Qi Wenfu: "Father has already been waiting in the mansion, please follow me into the mansion for the sacrificial wine." ”
Qi Wenfu asked the servants around him to follow the people from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to settle the carriage, and he was led into the mansion by Xie Qingheng.
Because there are outsiders coming to the house, I picked it up early, but it won't seem too deliberate.
Qi Wenfu followed Xie Qingheng to the front hall, and saw that Xie Yuan was already waiting in the hall.
The front hall of Xuanping Marquis Mansion is very large, and the window lattices around it are all pasted with bright paper, and the room looks very bright.
There is a warm curtain hung in front of the door of the front hall, which is smoked with Suhe incense, and the faint fragrance covers the smoke and dust in the room, making people feel warm but not smelly.
After Qi Wenfu entered, Xie Yuan hurriedly got up and said, "Lord Qi, come in and sit quickly." ”
"Master Xie."
Qi Wenfu greeted him and said, "I take the liberty to visit, I don't know if I can be disturbed?" ”
Xie Yuan said with a smile: "How can you bother, Lord Qi can come to the mansion, it is simply brilliant." ”
With Qi Wenfu's temperament, it is difficult to go to someone's house to disturb him once in 800 years, and I am afraid that it is surprising and rare to leave anyone's house.
Xie Yuan said a few words of greeting, and then asked his subordinates to bring tea and snacks over.
Xie Qingheng didn't go out, but sat with him.
Xie Yuan smiled and said, "I didn't move around much with Lord Qi in the past, why did Lord Qi suddenly want to come to my mansion to sit today?" ”
Qi Wenfu held the teacup but didn't drink the tea, just took the lid of the cup and said: "To be honest, I came here today, firstly, to congratulate Hou Ye Xie on his wedding, and secondly, I want Hou Ye Xie to solve my doubts for me." ”
"Because it was inconvenient to bring it up outside, I had to come and visit in person."
Xie Yuan listened to Qi Wenfu's congratulatory words, the smile on his face became even worse, and he said casually with a teacup: "Lord Qi can ask whatever he wants." ”
Qi Wenfu didn't speak, but glanced at Xie Qingheng.
Xie Qingheng was stunned for a moment, knowing that Qi Wenfu didn't want him to know about something, so he quickly stood up and wanted to withdraw: "Father, sacrificial wine, you talk first, I'll go to my grandmother's house to say hello to her old man first." ”
Xie Yuan nodded, and Xie Qingheng turned around and walked outside, but as soon as he walked to the door and lifted the warm curtain and was about to go out, he heard the cold voice of Qi Wenfu behind him.
"I want to know, where is Su Xuanmin's wife and daughter."
Xie Qingheng's hands stiffened, and he almost couldn't help but turn around while holding the warm curtain.
He gritted his teeth, and after going out of the door, he did not leave, but stopped the people outside the door and drove them away, and then listened to the sound inside through the warm curtain.
Xie Yuan was also taken aback by Qi Wenfu's sudden words, but he reacted quickly, and when he put down the teacup, he hid the look of surprise in his eyes, and when he looked up again, he was already full of doubts and said:
"What did Lord Qi say?"
Qi Wenfu lifted his lips coldly: "Hou Ye Xie should know what I said." ”
"Two years ago, after you shot Su Xuanmin in Jingnan, you fought against the Southern Wei army, and finally Jingnan won a great victory, and the Hou Ye returned to Beijing with his military exploits and was rewarded by the emperor, but Su Xuanmin was charged with the crime because of the unfavorable protection of the city."
"Everyone in the DPRK and China thought that Su Xuanmin's family had all died in the war in Jingnan two years ago, and it was not until half a year ago that it was rumored that Su Xuanmin still had a wife and daughter alive."
"After I got the news, I sent someone to Jingnan to bring his wife and daughter back, but I couldn't find it, and later I learned that Hou Ye had also been to Jingnan during this period."
After Xie Yuan listened to Qi Wenfu's words, the smile on his face completely disappeared: "Lord Qi said that I laughed, although I have been to Jingnan, I don't know that Su Xuanmin still has a wife and daughter alive......
"The news in Beijing has already spread, will Hou Ye not know?"
Qi Wenfu's voice was calm:
"And I heard that Hou Ye's new lady happened to be brought back from Jingnan, and she has a daughter who happens to be surnamed Su."
Xie Yuan's eyes were cold: "What does Lord Qi want to say?" ”
Qi Wenfu looked at him: "Su Xuanmin's wife and daughter were taken back to the mansion by the Hou Ye. ”
Xie Yuan saw that Qi Wenfu said yes, and he didn't even hesitate at all, knowing that Qi Wenfu should have already found out the identity of Chen's mother and daughter.
He didn't come to visit him at all, but to Chen and Su Ruan.
Xie Yuan's face was gloomy, and he said to Qi Wenfu:
"There are many people surnamed Su in the world, does it matter that every time Lord Qi sees one, he has to say that they are related to Su Xuanmin?"
"The matter of marrying a wife has already been presented to the emperor in person, and the emperor has to give him a marriage in person."
"Let's not talk about whether Benhou's wife and daughter are related to Su Xuanmin, even if they are really Su Xuanmin's wife and daughter, what can they do, and the woe will not be to his wife and children, Your Majesty did not offend Su Xuanmin's family at the beginning, Lord Qi is just a prince of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, and now on what basis is he questioning Benhou?"
Qi Wenfu looked at Xie Yuan, who had a gloomy face, and was not angry at all by his words, but just put the lid of the cup in his hand on top of the teacup, making a slight collision sound.
"The emperor did not condemn Su Xuanmin's family, but he did not explicitly pardon him."
Seeing that Xie Yuan wanted to speak, Qi Wenfu spoke:
"Does Master Hou know how many people are looking for their mother and daughter in the capital now?"
Xie Yuan's face froze with anger in his eyes.
Qi Wenfu continued: "You said that if people knew that they not only entered the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, but the Hou Ye also changed their identities to erase the past, and even married Su Xuanmin's widow as his wife, what would happen to those people?" ”
Xie Yuan said coldly, "What the hell does Lord Qi want to say?!" ”
"I don't intend to blackmail Hou Ye anything, and I don't want to interfere in Hou Ye's private affairs, I just want the account book left in Su Xuanmin's hand."
Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard Qi Wenfu's words, and then frowned tightly and said, "I haven't seen any account books at all, and Su Xuanmin hasn't left anything behind. ”
Qi Wenfu looked at him: "What about his wife and daughter, but in their hands?" ”
