Chapter 244: This kid can act
Xia Zitang glanced at Shao Yi and motioned for him to look at the sky, "At this hour, there is still some time before lunch, do you plan to get my father back from Dali Temple?" ”
Well, I'm a little overjoyed.
Shao Yi felt embarrassed: "I'm not too happy and forgot the time." ”
Xia Zitang looked at him fiercely, do you need to be so happy about this? It's just that the commander of the inner guard sent him a message, and he was so excited, this kid has really never seen the world.
Regarding Xia Zitang's contempt, Shao Yi accepted it all, and there was no discomfort at all.
He continued: "Then wait for the next ya, and when the time comes, I will go back with the fourth brother." I have to tell my uncle and second brother about this in person. ”
Xia Zitang didn't hesitate and nodded happily.
Although he despised Shao Yi on the surface for not seeing the world, he still knew the seriousness of this matter in his heart.
Because his father was not friends and never thought of being opportunistic, this matter was left at his house, which only made his father and brother more cautious.
But if other families encounter this situation, it is a great thing, they can be valued by the emperor and have the opportunity to be added to the knighthood, but I am afraid that they will be ecstatic and treat Shao Yi as a guest.
He has to accept Shao Yi's favor.
The two went down and returned to Xia's house together, but Xia Ke and Xia Zixi had not yet returned.
Xia Zitang thought about it, the relationship between Shao Yi and the Xia family is getting closer and closer, this is the second time he has come to the door, out of politeness to Shao Yi, he should also let him gradually become an elder in the family.
Thinking so, he sent someone to inform Mrs. Jiang, and after getting the promise, he took Shao Yi, who was very surprised, into the backyard to greet Mrs. Jiang.
This was undoubtedly an unexpected joy for Shao Yi, he went all the way, sorted out his clothes several times in succession, and followed Xia Zitang step by step into the main courtyard of the back house
In Mrs. Jiang's room, the Yang family and the Gao family had already avoided it, and Xia Yanqing stayed and stayed with his mother because he often dealt with Shao Yi.
Mrs. Jiang sat on a low couch, and beside her sat a little girl Xia Han.
Xia Yanqing sat on the brocade stool on the side, and next to her, stood the well-behaved Xia Han.
Because of the difference between men and women, especially in official eunuchs and large families, under normal circumstances, women do not often meet foreign men.
Therefore, although Shao Yi is famous, Mrs. Jiang really hasn't seen him.
At this time, seeing Xia Zitang leading a tall and handsome young man in, Mrs. Jiang knew that this was Shao Yi.
It's just that this Shao Yi is very inconsistent with her imagination, and it can also be said that it does not conform to the imagination of most people.
Shao Yi really wanted to make a big salute as soon as he entered the door, showing his respect for Ah Can's mother. But now he is just Xia Zitang's friend and Xia Yanqing's partner, and he rashly made a big gift, just afraid that it would make Mrs. Jiang think more.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the door, he lowered his eyebrows and waited until Xia Zitang introduced him, and then he stepped forward and bowed down to perform the junior salute.
His performance was seen in the eyes of Mrs. Jiang, that is, this young man not only abides by etiquette, but also has the shyness of a simple-minded young man.
Such a good boy is actually a headache for the children of rich families in the capital for many years, I'm afraid it's not a mistake, right?
Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "Young Master Shao doesn't have to be polite, sit down and talk." ”
Shao Yi hurriedly thanked him, and met Xia Yanqing and Xia Han separately, and then glanced at Xia Xi gently, and then sat down with Xia Zitang.
Several people exchanged a few words of greeting, and Mrs. Jiang politely asked how Shao's mother was doing.
Shao Yi replied very respectfully, and he didn't dare to say a word wrong.
Although Xia Yanqing was in the room, he didn't dare to look at it at all, as if he didn't have any thoughts about other girls, but simply as Xia Zitang's confidant and friend, out of politeness, he came to meet his friend's elders.
Although Mrs. Jiang is the mother-in-law he identifies, it is not easy to share the affairs of the outer house with Mrs. Jiang. Therefore, Xia Zitang and Shao Yi did not mention the purpose of this trip, but just responded to Mrs. Jiang in a proper manner.
When Xia Yanqing was involved, she made a simple response.
It was Xia Han who was very kind when he saw Shao Yi, and asked how the virtuous son was and when he could come to play with him again.
Seeing the warm atmosphere in the venue, Mrs. Jiang almost decided that Shao Yi was a good boy who was polite and sensible, and Xia Zitang's heart was full of dissatisfaction with Shao Yi.
This kid can act, and this pretending is even more popular than the well-read and wealthy students.
Let him talk with his mother for a while, but I am afraid that my mother will never remember that he is a gentleman who has been rumored in the capital for nearly ten years, and maybe he will become an example for him to learn.
Just when Xia Zitang felt in crisis, a maid came in outside to spread the word: The old man and the second master are back and are in the study in the outer courtyard.
Xia Zitang hurriedly pulled Shao Yi to leave, left Mrs. Jiang's courtyard, and went to the outer courtyard to see Xia Ke.
There is really nothing to negotiate about this matter, no matter what the purpose, since this is the emperor's order, there is no room for negotiation.
It's just that for Shao Yi, the attitude of the Xia family towards him is very important, and he must inform Xia Ke about this.
There is a saying that once it is born and twice cooked.
This is the second time Shao Yi has visited Xia Ke at Xia's house, and before, he also intercepted Xia Ke once outside the gate of Dali Temple.
Now if you come forward to salute again, you will be familiar with it.
In front of Xia Ke, Shao Yi didn't dare to fool, but just repeated the dictation passed on by Liu Xietong to Xia Ke. said that he was also helpless about this matter, and he was deeply sorry for the trouble that might be caused to the Xia family in the future.
Xia Ke started from the front of Shao Yi's Dali Temple and read his note, and knew that things were inevitable.
If the emperor wants Taisun to take over the throne, then he is a force that supports Taisun.
Now, the emperor has arranged for the Shao family to escort the glass workshop, except that when the grandson will go to the workshop again, it will be safer and more secure. The bigger reason is probably to show the emperor's attitude.
In the future, let alone him and Xia Zitang, I am afraid that Xia Zixi and his daughter will inevitably stand on the same front as the grandson.
Although these things were not in Xia Ke's previous expectations, as long as they were mixed in their careers, since they had encountered them, they had to face them and continue.
What made Xia Ke particularly concerned was Shao Yi's attitude.
This is what the emperor meant, and there is no need for Shao Yi to be so cautious.
He vaguely felt that Shao Yi was so keen on the relationship with Xia Jiala, and he would be so respectful and cautious in front of him, I was afraid that it was related to his daughter.
As a very sensible father, he certainly understands the advantages and disadvantages of his daughter's remarriage conditions.
With her daughter's current ability, it is very easy to find her in-laws.
Not only is it easy, but she can even choose by her, no matter which wealthy family, her daughter has absolute qualifications, so that her husband's family can marry into the family openly.
Even during this time, some people have vaguely inquired about Mrs. Jiang, it has been more than a year since her daughter returned to her parents' house, and when will she discuss family affairs again.
Just sincerely...... But it's hard to say.
After all, in wealthy families, women pay attention to demure, gentleness, and virtue. What's more, I still want my daughter-in-law to be good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and talent.
From these aspects, his daughter is at an absolute disadvantage.
Those who are willing to marry their daughters into the door probably fancy the wealth that their daughters can bring to their husbands' families.
A daughter marrying into such a family is tantamount to being a cow and a horse, but she can't get real love. This is by no means the result that Xia Ke wants to see.
If Shao Yi's character is not fake, and he really likes his daughter, and the Shao family has a simple population, it is not impossible to marry his daughter.
It's just that it's too early to say this, since Shao Yi has been valued by the emperor and can hand over the heir to the throne to him and bring it out, he is afraid that his family affairs must be approved by the emperor.
Don't look at Shao Yi as an outer chamber, but just by virtue of his royal blood, whether he is an outer chamber or not, that's just a matter of the emperor's words.
When the time comes, the nephew that the emperor values will marry a married wife, but she is a divorced wife, and if you don't say anything else, the royal face will not look good.
Xia Ke sighed secretly in his heart, but greeted Shao Yi on his face.
He did not participate in how to arrange the Shao family's guards, but only gently told Shao Yi to properly arrange manpower and not to live up to the emperor's high expectations.
