Chapter 3 The Mother-Daughter Heart Knot
This matter is a big deal, this family affair passed the eyes of the Son of Heaven, it was he who hinted at the marriage of the Marquis of Rong'an and the King of Yanjun, he wanted to use the Marquis of Rong'an's Mansion for generations, and also took a fancy to the talents of the Marquis of Rong'an's father and son, but after all, the old Marquis Rong'anhou had supported his sworn enemy, the three princes, although he retreated bravely, he did not dare to trust the Marquis of Rong'an, unless he could firmly tie the Marquis of Rong'an with his henchmen, the marriage was of course the best.
As for whether he is married to Xie Changning or Xie Changan, presumably the Son of Heaven doesn't care at all, as long as it is the daughter of the Xie family.
I'm afraid it's Yan Qinglan who cares, after all, among people like him, the dragon and phoenix are naturally worthy of the best talent in the capital, she is a little hairy girl like her nameless, and even her official dialect has a little Fujian accent, this noble son in the capital can't look down on her.
Seeing that Xie Changan was just silent and didn't say anything, Mrs. Xie knew that this stubborn girl was not easy to convince for a while, so she had to say that she didn't have to worry, go back and think about it first, and hinted that the Lin family would talk to Xie Changan about the benefits of Yan Qinglan and soften Xie Changan's attitude.
Xie Changan returned to his room sullenly, buried his head in the quilt and remained motionless, so frightened that Qingshuang thought she was suffocating, and there was another burst of chickens and dogs.
Because he hid something in his heart, Xie Changan couldn't even eat dinner, and the person who usually had to eat two bowls of rice actually moved a few chopsticks meaningfully to the table full of dishes and asked people to take them down.
Seeing this, Ziyun, the little girl sent by the Lin family to serve her, hurriedly went to report to the Lin family, Miss Dao seemed to be unwell, and only moved a few chopsticks for dinner, the Lin family was distressed when she heard it, and she didn't care if Xie Changan would give her a cold face, so she hurriedly went to Xie Changan with a woolen coat.
Xie Changan was a little surprised by Lin's anxious care, she had not felt the care and love of her parents since she was sensible, and she couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed, and looked at Lin sitting on the edge of her bed, anxiously asking Qingshuang and other serving girls about her condition.
"How do you serve? I know that Miss is afraid of the cold, I don't know how many more clothes to add to her, where are the few fur blankets I sent a few days ago? Just take it out and make a copy for the young lady, and spread the rest on the ground as a carpet, so that it is warmer to walk, and the wool is soft, and it is also in case you young lady accidentally falls......"
Listening to Lin's nagging, Qingshuang and the others were also a little speechless, Miss was afraid of the cold and wrapped three layers inside and three outside, she was like a stupid bear, and if she wrapped it again, she was afraid that she would have to roll away, and the wife sent those few pieces of material, which was the best white mink fur, it was too extravagant to use it as a copy, and it had to be used as a carpet to pave? And the young lady is already thirteen years old, and she is not a three-year-old child, and there are so many people around to serve, so she will fall and I am afraid that the young lady herself will die!
Xie Changan was also dumbfounded, listening to the more Lin Shi said, the more outrageous it became, he hurriedly stopped, and comforted him a little stiffly: "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine......"
Lin didn't believe it, looked at her flushed face and said, "You see that your face is red like this, and you still say it's okay, is it infected with the wind cold?" I'm going to have someone take your father's post and ask for a doctor......"
Even the imperial doctor came out, and Xie Changan hurriedly said: "I'm really fine, it's just a ...... blushing But because it was warm in the house, didn't my mother give me more than half of the silver frost charcoal in the treasury? There's no place in the house that can be warmer than mine! ”
"Really?" Lin was suspicious.
"Really!" Xie Changan hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic.
Qingshuang and the others looked at the mother and daughter in a hurry, and couldn't help but want to laugh, one couldn't help but be heard by Xie Changan, Xie Changan was annoyed and angry, and coaxed them out.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Xie Changan turned his head awkwardly and said to the Lin family: "Daughter Xie's mother's concern, Fang Cai just thought about something and didn't want to eat, and there was nothing ......"
Hearing that Xie Chang'an was because of his heart, Lin was silent for a long time, sighed, but said: "An'er, do you know why I can bear to send you all the way to the ancestral house in Fujian?" ”
"My daughter doesn't know." Xie Changan shook his head.
"To blame me, it's because I didn't take good care of my body, and accidentally fell into your father's Aunt Zhao's way, and it took you to give birth early after a fall in the snow, and your body was very weak, and you once thought that you couldn't support it.
Your father is also in a hurry, and he came to seek medical advice for you everywhere with his old face, and even the most favored Imperial Doctor Li around the Queen Mother was also ground by your father for a month to see you, but he also said that he could only take one step at a time, and he was afraid that he would not live to be three years old...... But I am your own mother, even if everyone says that you can't live, I can't watch you disappear, and I can't seek medical treatment, so I'll ask the Buddha...... So I went to Tongguang Temple, begging the host to give me a way to support you, who knew that the host actually said that he could support you, but he couldn't raise his parents until he was thirteen years old, saying that my father and I don't match you very well.
I came back and told your father, and your father said that he would send you to Fujian and hand you over to the old lady to raise, you were only more than two years old at the time, how could I give up? Crying and making trouble just refused, your father can't do anything about me, but seeing that you were only two months away from your third birthday, you suddenly fell ill and unconscious, I searched for doctors, and they all asked me to prepare for the future, I really had no choice, remembering the host's words, so I sent you to your grandmother overnight, and then couldn't help but look at you, who knew that you would get better day by day...... Only then did I know that what the host said was not a lie, you are a girl of the Xie family after all, and your parents are here, how can you be raised by your grandfather's side, so your father sent a letter to your grandmother, took you with you, and sent you to the ancestral house in Fujian......"
It turns out that this is the case, Xie Changan has never heard of these things, and his grandmother must not know it clearly, after all, the cause of the original premature birth was the pickling of the inner house, and the mother must be embarrassed to tell the grandmother in the way of her father's face, otherwise with her grandmother's temperament, it is impossible not to tell her, so that she secretly complained about her mother for so long.
"Over the years, I haven't thought about you for a moment, every time you grow a year old, I will make a dress for you with my own hands, but I am afraid of restraining you, I dare not look at you, and I don't even dare to ask you to wear the clothes I made...... My mother was really afraid, you were so young, so sick and skinny, you almost closed your eyes in your mother's arms...... Mother didn't dare to think about it, knowing that you were alive and secure, my mother would be content......" Lin said in the end, and he was already choked up.
Xie Changan looked at his mother in front of him who was trembling slightly because of sadness, and finally sighed, and gently stopped his mother's shoulder, Lin was stunned, and then relaxed, Xie Changan wiped away his mother's tears with a handkerchief, and said: "I'm fine, mother, my grandmother treats me very well, and let me practice martial arts, I'm not that sick man anymore, let alone live past thirteen years old, even if I live past one hundred and thirteen years old, I'm afraid it's no problem......"
"Poof." Lin Shi laughed when he heard this, "You stupid boy, how can people live to be one hundred and thirteen years old, then don't you become an old king......
Xie Changan looked serious: "Being a man is not as happy as Wang Ba, being a man has to be bound by rules, etiquette, and responsibility by cause and effect, and Wang Ba doesn't need it, it's already a Wang Ba, just don't care about being yourself......"
Lin shook his head helplessly: "What kind of crooked reason are you?" ”
"I'm telling the truth, mother, I know your difficulties, and I also know my brother's difficulties, but if I want to sacrifice everything to make up for my sister's troubles, do you have to let me think about it again?"
"Actually, in fact, Yan Shizi is a very good child, he is different from those noble gentlemen, he ......" Lin was anxious.
"Mother, ......I know," Xie Changan interrupted her, "But have you ever thought that even if Yan Shizi only met her sister at the queen's birthday banquet and didn't know about it, how famous is your sister?" How loud will her talented tomorrow be? There should be a lot of rumors about my sister, she has so many suitors, and her preferences and even some habits should be known from different ways, I married my sister's name, to ensure that I am not recognized, I must turn myself into her, change my habits, reduce my figure, and then like what she likes, to dress up what she likes, I want to bury the sword and practice the piano, forget my line of grass and turn my head to learn her hairpin Xiaokai, to the end...... Xie Chang'an is dead......" Xie Changan smiled bitterly, "You don't just want me to be a stand-in, you are killing Xie Changan and creating a new Xie Changning." ”
Lin's body was shocked, and he looked at Xie Changan with some astonishment.
They only cared about persuading Xie Changan to be a stand-in for Xie Changning, but they didn't put themselves in Xie Chang'an's shoes, as Xie Changan said, they didn't just want a stand-in, if they really wanted to implement it, they also had to let Xie Changan imitate Xie Changning vividly, after a long time, Xie Chang'an became a habit, then it was really a rebirth of Xie Changning, and the original Xie Chang'an was unconscious...... Killed by their own hands......
Thinking of this, the Lin family couldn't help but shudder, did they really want to sacrifice their little daughter who couldn't live in the first place?
Xie Changan saw that Lin's eyes were red again, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed that he had said something serious, so he patted Lin's shoulder and said softly: "Mother, give me some time, I'll figure it out, maybe there is another way." ”
"An'er ......"
"Mother, if it really comes time for me to sacrifice, I, Xie Chang'an, have eaten the Xie family's meal for so many years, and I will never shirk what I should do."
In the past few days, Xie Changan seems to be afraid of forcing Xie Chang'an, Xie Chang'an goes to Lin's room every morning to ask for peace, and the Lin family only cares about her food, housing and clothing, and never mentions letting her replace Xie Changning, Lin doesn't mention it, Xie Changan is also happy to be clean, and he takes care of himself every day to enjoy the snow and practice swords, and he doesn't care about it.
Lin occasionally watched her dance the sword in the courtyard, Lin's father was a scholar of Lin University who had been a scholar, he had served as the first assistant when he was an official, and his protégés were all over the court, and he was highly respected, but he also knew the truth of the rapid retreat.
Lin is the only daughter of Lin University, since she was a child, she has loved like a treasure, the Lin family has been a scholar for generations, and Lin is also quite famous in the boudoir, especially the beautiful hairpin flower Xiaokai is praised.
Therefore, even though the Rong'an Hou Mansion is a general, the Lin family still teaches Xie Changning in the way of the Lin family, Xie Changning is all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and what he usually teaches is also a female commandment, which is a standard lady.
