The ancestor of the clan, the last Zong Zhengqing, is seventy years old.
The Xiao family is considered to be high, and he has to call his uncle in front of the old ancestor.
The old ancestor was the same generation of Emperor Zhongzong, and he was also the only person in that generation who was still alive.
has personally experienced the rebellion case of "Prince Zhangyi", and he is also one of the few people who can survive by interceding for "Prince Zhangyi".
Talking about the past, the ancestor always said: "If it weren't for the old man's surname Xiao, he would have no contact with 'Prince Zhangyi' on weekdays, and he would definitely be unable to escape." In the end, it's the benefits of getting a surname. It's a pity that the old lady spoke softly and failed to save the life of the 'prince'. ”
"How many years ago, the ancestors don't have to revisit the old things."
The lord of Zhuyang, Xiao Shi, cooked tea with his own hands and greeted his ancestors.
During the Chinese New Year, the ancestors came to the door as a guest, and she naturally wanted to be hospitalized.
"After the post, I thought that as in previous years, the ancestor would not show up. This year, I was lucky to be able to get the face of my ancestors. It seems that this year must be a safe and smooth year. ”
Xiao Shi is happy and in a good mood.
The old ancestor laughed, and said in high spirits, "You don't dislike the old man for being a bad old man, just love to cause trouble to others." ”
Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, "The old ancestor said that he was smiling!" It's my blessing that you can come, how can I dislike it. ”
The old ancestor took a sip of the teacup, "Well, the tea leaves are excellent!" It's produced by the tea house that Yun Ge bought in the south, and it seems to taste the same as the tea you gave to the old man. ”
Xiao Shi said with a smile: "The ancestor has good eyesight, and the tea I drank today is the same batch as the tea that was given to the ancestor as before." They are all tea leaves produced in the tea house under the name of Yunge. ”
"Although the man you married is not very good, the daughter you gave birth to is excellent, and you are also a blessed person."
Xiao Shi bowed his head slightly, "Sometimes when the days are tormented, I can only comfort myself like this." ”
The old ancestor sighed, "What Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping did was indeed a bit excessive. Because Emperor Zhongzong protected you and left you with 3,000 East Palace guards, Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping was difficult to calm down after all, so he sent you far away and gave you a marriage to Yan Shouzhan. Hey, when it comes to what happened back then, it's a confused account. Fortunately, Emperor Yingzong Yongtai still has a little conscience, and he didn't embarrass you too much, so he let you stay in the capital all the time. ”
Xiao Shi laughed at himself, "The things of the past have passed. Ancestors, don't fight for me, after all, they have survived. Back then, those people were almost dying. Now I'm trying to find someone, and I can't find anyone to calculate the old accounts of the year. ”
"It's hard for you! The old man was also a sinner, and he didn't help in any way. ”
"The old ancestor has done his best, if you say so, I should feel guilty. When I was young, I also knew who was really speaking for Donggong, and who was gloating and falling into the ground. ”
The old ancestor said "um", "You just need to understand it in your heart!" Hey, this person is old, and he likes to remember the past. However, the things of the year were so cruel. During the Chinese New Year, the old man mentioned these unhappy things, which was really disgusting. ”
"The old ancestor is joking again!"
Shaw lifted the teapot and refilled the teacup.
The old ancestor drank tea, "Don't talk about the past, it's all angry." The current situation is really not good. Internal and external troubles, people's hearts are moving, and His Majesty's ability still needs to be improved. However, time waits for no one, and there is no telling which way the situation will develop. Do you have an idea? ”
Xiao shook his head, "No idea!" The capital is safe, and I will stay in the capital. If there is a crisis in the capital, I can only resign myself to fate. ”
"That's not what your character can say. The three thousand East Palace guards left to you by Emperor Zhongzong are not decorations. In case one day, there is really a big mess in the capital, don't sit still, you should stand up when it's time to stand up. As a member of the Xiao clan, when he is in danger, he must also take a little responsibility. ”
"Ancestors, don't look down on me, I'm just a woman in the house, I don't have the ability to turn the tide, and I don't have the idea of raising my arms."
When the old ancestor heard this, he sighed, "The royal family is sorry for you, it hurt you too much, and the old man really shouldn't make excessive demands on you." Forget it, don't talk about that. I heard that you are marrying Yunge Zhang, I don't know which family you like? ”
Xiao Shi smiled bitterly, "There are many people who look at each other, either others don't look down on my Yunge, or Yunge doesn't look at each other very well." They have come and gone, and they haven't met a suitable one yet, which is really a headache. Seeing that after the New Year, Yun Ge is a year older again, and I am sad to death. ”
The old ancestor nodded in understanding, "It's also difficult for you!" It is indeed not easy for a capable and assertive girl like Yun Ge to say a suitable marriage. Have you ever thought about doing a family affair for her in the clan? ”
Xiao frowned slightly, "Why does the old ancestor think so?" Yun Qi has already married Prince Ping, and Yun Ge has married into the clan, which is not suitable. ”
The old ancestor was silent for a moment before he spoke: "The old man thinks so, you have also seen the situation of the clan, and it needs to be rectified urgently. Originally, this matter should have been done by His Majesty, or Empress Dowager Tao, or Empress Zhong, or even Prince Ping.
However, the problems of the clan are not formed in a day or two, nor in a year or two, but an old problem left over from decades or hundreds of years. You have to have a person who is full of courage, who can take care of things, and who can also suppress the clan, in order to rectify the clan. ”
Xiao frowned, "This matter, the old ancestor won't think that Yun Ge can do it." This matter should be the task of Zong Zhengqing and the Shaofu family order. ”
The old ancestor sighed, "Zhong Yuma has made the Shaofu family order, and he only cares about making money, he will never interfere in the affairs of the clan." Zong Zhengqing will only do things according to His Majesty's orders, and he has no courage to rectify the clan.
To tell you the truth, the old man is really optimistic about Yunge. When the little girl first came to the capital, she had the courage to smash Princess Chengyang's mansion, and that group of gangsters became scoundrels, and she must have the ability to control the clan that came to Hu all day long. As the saying goes, one force will drop ten times, and as soon as Yun Ge makes a move, any charm and spirit will have to show its original form. ”
Xiao couldn't cry or laugh, "The old ancestor is too embarrassed! Yun Ge is just a little girl to be married, and even more so, which a high-ranking and powerful royal nobleman can't do, and my Yun Ge can't do it. She is a little girl, although she has bought a mountain villa and done something, but how can such a big task be handed over to her. This can be regarded as a strong man's difficulty. ”
"The old man is indeed a bit difficult to be strong! It's just that you really want Yun Ge to be a husband and a child-dependent housewife? Do you really think that after marriage, she will be able to settle down? ”
"Even if she can't be a husband and a child, she can't meddle in the mess of the clan."
The old ancestor sighed, "Seeing that the clan is degenerating, and the situation in the court is getting worse day by day, you really don't plan to do something?" Do you really want to watch the Great Wei River continue to rot? ”
Xiao laughed at himself, "The Great Wei Jiangshan is the country of the royal family, not the country of the palace." ”
"You are confused! Will there be eggs under the nest? The old man knows your knot, and it's not easy for you to come forward to meddle in the internal affairs of the clan. But Yun Ge can, she has a chance. ”
"What does the ancestor mean is to let her meddle in the internal affairs of the clan as a person with a foreign surname?"
The old ancestor said loudly: "Yun Ge can take on big things!" Instead of marrying her to the children of a certain family and cheapening those with foreign surnames, it is better to marry her to the clan so that she has the opportunity to turn the tide. Even if you can't turn the tide, you can keep a little bit of it. ”
Xiao Shi frowned, "Listening to the meaning of the old ancestor, it seems that I don't look at the current situation very much. Could it be that the fighting in the north has been repeated again? Wuheng Royal Court broke through the defense line? ”
"Not what you think. To what extent the war in the north is going on at present, the old man is not very clear. The Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet, you didn't enter the palace, but the old man entered the palace to join in the fun. Your Majesty's face is not very good-looking! ”
Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there have been few times when your face is good-looking. ”
The Old Ancestor laughed, "That's right. It's just that the Chinese New Year's Eve still has a face, but it is not a good sign. As a member of the Xiao family, the old man has to make some plans for this family, for the country, and for future generations.
To tell you the truth, the old man is very optimistic about Yunge, she is a capable little girl. Originally, the old man was also optimistic about Yun Qi, but it was obvious that Yun Qi paid more attention to the family and did not like to meddle in things outside the palace.
In the final analysis, Yun Qi lacks the momentum of Yun Ge, the momentum that is not afraid of things and dares to cause trouble. Sometimes people have to have some momentum to get things done. ”
Xiao Shi shook his head, "Yun Ge is my daughter, she was born to be clothed and happy." She is a little girl, and she can't afford such a heavy responsibility. As elders, how could we bear to throw all the problems that we couldn't solve by ourselves to her little girl. Don't say it anymore, old ancestors! ”
"Won't you ask Yun Ge? Maybe she is not willing to be mediocre and marry a son of a family casually. Maybe she just likes a challenging life. ”
Xiao Shi still shook his head, "The old ancestor came to the door in person today, and the younger generation is very happy. The old ancestor repeatedly mentioned Yun Ge's marriage, and said that Yun Ge could take on heavy responsibilities, but someone was blowing the wind in the old ancestor's ear and saying something that he didn't have. Or is it that the ancestor wants to protect the media? ”
The old ancestor laughed, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." Indeed, someone blew the wind in the old man's ear, saying that Yunge is such a good girl, but she can't be cheap to outsiders. ”
"You can't be cheap with a little bastard!"
Xiao's face sank, and he had already guessed the cause and effect of the matter.
It must be Xiao Yi's little bastard, with a three-inch tongue, please move the ancestor.
She wasn't very happy, "How could the old ancestor be deceived by Xiao Yi's little bastard, he is a wolf with ambition and wants to marry my family Yunge." If you can't make a plan, you will have another plan, damn it! ”
When the old ancestor heard this, he didn't feel embarrassed, but laughed.
"Xiao Yat is indeed a bastard, and the old man doesn't like him. But there is a momentum in him, how similar to Yun Ge. ”
"No matter how similar it is, I won't marry Yun Ge to him."
