Chapter 326: Take Control of the Situation
Xia Han stayed in the Yan Mansion until lunch, and after a lunch break, the palace sent someone to inform Shao Yi to pick him up.
On the carriage, Xia Zitang and Shao Yi didn't ask Xia Han what he did in the palace, but only asked if he had fun, what he ate, and what he saw.
Then I looked at Xia Han's various gifts, and after a while, it was the mansion of the Xia family's second room.
The Xia family, Xia Ke solemnly thanked Shao Yi for escorting him back and forth, so shocked that Shao Yi bowed down and didn't even dare to say it.
After seeing off Shao Yi, Xia Ke asked about Xia Han's details in Yanwang's Mansion.
Only the former crown princess and her young son live in the Yanwang Mansion, so it is inconvenient to receive foreign men, even if Shao Yi, who sent Xia Han there, had to withdraw after sending people to him.
And Xia Ke didn't want his daughters and royal ladies to get too close.
Under the watchful eye of everyone, the former princess can raise her grandson, and she can also make her grandson have a sacred heart, and she is by no means a woman without scheming.
Speaking of which, the ladies of the Xia family are all pure-hearted people. Even if his daughter has some skills, she can look at people's looks and figure out people's hearts, but she is a straight intestine after all.
Such a back house is very worry-free, and there is really no need to be too deeply involved in the circle of communication of the royal clan. The men of his family don't need to let the women in the back house wronged themselves and help the family pave the way for the future.
Therefore, today, he could have asked the Yang family or Xia Yanqing to accompany Xia Han to go with him, but he pretended not to know, and only sent Xia Han's little guy into the vast and unfamiliar Yanwang Mansion alone, which could be regarded as a kind of experience for him.
Fortunately, the former crown princess has scheming, but she is very good to Xia Han.
Xia Han was in the palace today, and first passed the examination of the gentleman who taught the grandson in the outer courtyard, and the results were obtained: The child of the Xia family teaches well, and the amount of reading is about the same as that of his peers, but in terms of the understanding and interpretation of books, he has a very solid mastery.
With this premise, when the former crown princess entertained her grandson and Xia Han to eat some fruit snacks, she said a lot of things like a home.
From Xia Han's retelling, Xia Ke and Xia Zixi heard that the former crown princess had learned about Xia Han's conduct and daily behavior.
The little guy is very competitive, and he should have passed the test.
After Xia Han answered his grandfather's question, he happily took out an inkstone and a row of ink strips, and sent them to Xia Ke like a treasure: "Grandfather, this is given to her grandson by her mother, and she says that it is a famous inkstone, and this ink is also a good ink." The grandson is too young to use such a good thing, so give it to his grandfather. ”
Xia Zixi looked at such a son, and couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.
I really can't see that this kid is actually quite good at sycophancy. In order to tie up with his grandfather, he put his father aside.
Xia Ke smiled, touched Xia Han's bun, and said: "You are young, Niangniang gave you such a good inkstone and ink strips, naturally I hope that you can learn as soon as possible and be worthy of this famous inkstone." Take it, grandfather is also waiting to see when Brother Han is qualified to use the famous inkstone and famous ink. ”
Xia Han was full of confidence when he said this, nodded heavily, and responded: "Okay, Brother Han must work hard." ”
The corners of Xia Zixi's mouth continued to twitch.
This is his father, back then, he was so fooled by his father, and he studied hard. As a result, I accidentally read too much, which led to a huge amount of interest, but I lost interest in the career.
It's Xia Zitang who is stubborn, Xia Ke said this kind of thing, he was simply playing the piano to the cow, and people didn't take it to heart at all.
It wasn't until Xia Han left that Xia Zitang said to his father and brother: "Shao Yi told me today that our family and him have been tied up by the emperor on the boat of King Yan. ”
Well? Xia Ke paused with his hand holding the teacup, Shao Yi is how many years younger than Xia Zitang, he actually has such eyesight?
He glanced at Xia Zixi, in this way, if Shao Yi was really interested in his daughter, he would really be desperate. Although he saw the situation, he did not flinch and was willing to stand in the same boat as them.
"Isn't he worried at all?" Xia Zixi asked.
"Cut," Xia Zitang disdained, "That kid hasn't been carefully disciplined since he was a child, he is lawless, and he dares to say anything......"
Shao Yi said something to Xia Zitang, and Xia Zixi was speechless for a long time.
Xia Ke was also silent for a long time before he said: "It's hard for him, he is young, not only can he accurately figure out the inside of these things, but he can also have a conclusion in his heart, and he is not worried at all, it is not easy." ”
There is also that if you are an official high enough, you can do things according to your own wishes within the scope of your own control, and if you are more fair, it can really be refreshing.
This Shao Yi is a very good character.
The continuous occurrence of situations made Xia Ke and his son not feel that this was a big holiday once a year.
In addition to the dealings between the grandson and his grandson, he was also worried about what form the emperor's reward would be issued after the Spring Festival vacation. It would be best if the emperor discouraged the use of a new method of counting to balance the Xia family.
Xia Han, who has passed the school examination and approval of the former crown princess, has naturally passed the test, and early in the morning of the eighth day of the new year, he didn't even say hello, and a post was sandwiched with a small wooden sign and sent to the gatehouse of the Xia family in Jishui Lane.
As a result, the Xia family immediately cleaned up and tidied up, and before it was properly tidied up, an inconspicuous carriage stopped at the door of Xia's house, and as soon as the post was handed over, the door of the Xia family was opened, and the carriage drove straight in.
As Xia Ke said, there must be rules.
Although the grandson is young, he is the eldest grandson of the emperor and is named King Yan. Taisun accepted the call very depressedly, and then waved his hand to everyone in a similar manner, and pulled Xia Han into Xia Han's house.
Xia Ke was stunned, it seemed that his grandson and King Yan would come and go often in the future, and he didn't know if the security protection of the palace and King Yan's mansion was in place.
The safety of Taisun's travel is naturally the top priority, and it is carefully arranged.
Different from the previous arrangement, there are two more clairvoyants that can peek into the overall situation from the commanding heights.
When Taisun travels, in addition to the protection of guards in the open and in the dark, there is a tower and a restaurant on two streets with complex patterns and more pedestrians.
Two monoculars, very inconspicuously peeking out of the corner of the highest window, silently inspect the shops and pedestrians in the streets near and far.
This is the first time Liu Xie has used a telescope in this kind of place.
Through the binoculars, Liu Xie clearly recognized from the pedestrians on the street that the secret guards he arranged were pretending to be ordinary people, and the carriage in which the grandson was riding was far and near.
In his position, with the assistance of telescopes, it is easy to see people who behave differently. Although the guards are used to doing these things, they walk in a way that is very different from ordinary passers-by.
Liu Xie also saw two idlers on the side of the road, who turned around quickly after the carriage passed by, and disappeared into the alley, not knowing where to go.
It can be said that with the assistance of the telescope, if it can be arranged along the way and monitored throughout the process, whether it is the grandson or the emperor traveling, there is basically no problem in safety.
If there are Assassins, the telescope will be able to detect anomalies when the Assassins begin to move.
As for the two idlers who rushed away, Liu Xie didn't pay attention to it at all.
The Ministry of Internal Security and Supervision under his charge has an eyeliner in Jingchengjing, and the arrest of Shuntianfu also has their own sources.
Not to mention King Jing, who covets the position of the crown prince, and King Chengjun, who is hidden in the shadows and has ill intentions, there is no problem at all with a number of idlers in these mansions.
Now Liu Xie is 100% sure that King Chengjun is by no means as beautiful as he shows, he is definitely a person who harbors evil intentions and hides the deepest.
