"Xiao Zhengde wants to marry the eldest sister?" Xie Ling Yulu was surprised, after Xiao Zhengze's incident, with Chen Shuo's scheming, it was impossible not to guess the Xie family's attitude towards King Linhe, knowing that it was impossible, why did he still think about this family business in Xiao?

"I also want Princess Yongxing to protect this matchmaker." Xie Zhang also snorted coldly, "This Princess Yongxing herself does not abide by women's morals, if she hadn't repeatedly designed to seduce my son, how could such a thing have happened?" ”

Xie Zhang's words were already filled with righteous indignation, beating his chest.

Hearing his father's name, Xie Ling's heart jumped suddenly, and then asked, "What happened back then?" ”

Xie Zhang realized that he was in a hurry, blurted out too much information, smiled again, and hurriedly avoided: "Oh, it's nothing, Ling'er!" You accompany your grandmother to go out for a walk, we go to the temple, and my grandmother goes to burn incense for the Buddha, so that he can bless our Xie family and grandchildren with good health and a long life. ”

When it came to the words "long life and 100 years old", Xie Ling's heart was a little sour, she secretly said hello, but she still touched Xie Zhang's wrist, revealing a rare childlike attitude, and said in a coquettish voice: "Grandmother, Ah Ling has grown up, and he has the power and responsibility to know all the things of my Xie family, Ah Ling has no mother since he was born, and when he was four years old, his father left us again, although I was young at that time, I can clearly remember in my mind what my father looked like when he taught me to write." ”

"Father treated Ah Ling very well, Ah Ling still remembers that he always loves to smile at Ah Ling, he looks good when he laughs, very warm, not as strict as his grandfather, once I was punished to kneel, or my father secretly sent me a purse phoenix roll to eat, but later this matter was discovered by my grandfather, as a result, my father was punished with me and knelt in the hall, Ah Ling felt that his father was very aggrieved......"

Speaking of this, Xie Ling chuckled, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Xie Zhang's eyes were already in tears, and he seemed to be afraid that she would hide her face with her sleeves when she saw her, and pretended to laugh along.

"Grandmother, my father has always been in good health, even the day before he left, he still wrote with Ah Ling, and he also told Ah Ling the story of mud and temples.

He asked Ah Ling: Would the tortoise be enshrined in the temple after death, or would it be willing to crawl in the mud alive?

Ah Ling thought about it for a day, and when he first thought of the answer, he wanted to tell him, but why was he suddenly gone? ”

After Xie Jingxiang passed away, many people came to the Xie Mansion in Wuyi Lane, and the princes of the Xiao family led by the prince Xiao Tong came here to mourn in white clothes, and even Xiao Yan, the son of heaven, wrote a long eulogy for Xie Jingxiang.

At that time, Xie Ling didn't know what death meant, she also asked her father what death looked like, and her father lied to her, it was like falling asleep, in fact, there was nothing terrible, so at that time, she didn't cry, but the eldest sister hugged her and cried so much that her voice was hoarse, and then she fainted.

And many years later, when she saw the tragic situation of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiankang City dying under the butcher's knife, she realized that death was not as natural as Zhuangzi said, open-minded, not a kind of detachment that "turned the tangible into the invisible", and returned to nature, and the real death was accompanied by ugliness, dirtiness and even the horror and destruction of human nature.

So from then on, she stopped reading Zhuang Lao, because she understood that Zhuang Lao's way was nothing but a deception to comfort people's hearts!

It is the deepest sorrow of the corporals who deceive themselves nowadays!

Zhuang Zhou, in fact, is a big liar!

"Grandmother, did my father really die of illness?"

"And mother, you have always told Ah Ling, mother is a straightforward and strong woman, she was born in the martial arts sect, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, she is open-minded, and her body is also very healthy, but why did she ...... when she gave birth to me and my brother?"

Xie Zhang couldn't hold back his whimpering anymore, and couldn't help but lie on the desk and cry bitterly.

Xie Ling immediately knelt on the ground, and like a child who had done something wrong, he hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, grandmother...... It's Ah Ling's mistake, Ah Ling shouldn't be ......"

Before the words were finished, Xie Zhang immediately pulled her up: "Good boy, it's none of your business, get up, although there is no regular distance in this Xie family, but grandmother doesn't eat this set, you sit well, grandmother will tell you the story of your father and mother!" ”

"Okay."

Xie Ling replied happily, and then sat aside and listened to Xie Zhang's story.

"Your father since he was a child, intelligent, under the teaching of your grandfather, at the age of four he had finished reading "Mao Poems" and Lao Zhuang Zhouyi, once His Majesty came to our Wuyi Lane to sit as a guest, there was an examination for your father, when your father was only seven years old, he was able to answer the questions raised by His Majesty, His Majesty praised your father is full of faces, and when he grows up, he will not lose to our Jin Taizu Xie An Xie Taifu.

Your father also really lived up to expectations, at the age of fifteen he participated in the eighteen state quality assessment, and obtained the top three grades among the children of the scholar family, and then in front of the palace to assess the poetry and scriptures, grandmother still remembers that His Majesty held the poems made by your father at that time and loved it, and once praised: 'In a chapter, there is its own jade, but the strange chapter shows the sentences, often vigilant, enough to make Shuyuan lose his step, Mingyuan changes color. ’

After that, your father entered the office with three grades and became the teacher of Xiao Tong, the prince of the East Palace, and he was also the young master of the prince. ”

When he said this, Xie Zhang's face suddenly radiated, and his face was full of the brilliance of happiness with honor, but in a moment, that brilliance gradually dimmed.

Seeing that Xie Zhang didn't speak, Xie Ling asked curiously, "What about later?" The grandson heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is diligent and thoughtful, and he is also a well-informed and knowledgeable person, and the prince is very sympathetic, and can distinguish between right and wrong, not a person who blindly pursues benevolence, and his father must be very happy to be the prince's teacher! ”

"Of course you do, how can you not be happy? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also admired your father very much when he was young, and he would come to your father for advice when he encountered many things, and I don't know if it was because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince relied on your father too much, so that His Majesty became more and more dislike your father later, and then removed your father from the post of Young Master Prince. ”

Hearing this, Xie Ling felt a slight discomfort in his heart, and asked again: "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have many political views that are inconsistent with His Majesty?" ”

Xie Zhang's nodded without thinking: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his own opinions since he was a child, and there is a clear distinction between good and evil, there was an old man who handed a letter in the slanderous letter, scolding His Majesty for unfairly enforcing the law, being lenient with the royal family, and being stricter than the common people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a dispute with His Majesty on the matter of 'rebuilding the national law', because of this matter, His Majesty also punished His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a month, and even your father was reprimanded and punished by His Majesty. ”

Xie Ling's heart jumped, and a bad premonition rose spontaneously, although the memory of her youth was not deep, she seemed to vaguely remember that her father often stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, or pondered alone, or sighed lightly.

"And what about later? What happened to my father later, and did Your Majesty punish my father again? ”

Xie Ling asked, Xie Zhang shook his head: "It's not like that, Your Majesty just let your father have a good rest at home, and let Zhu Yi temporarily take your father's place." ”

"Zhu Yi?" Xie Ling couldn't help frowning, suppressed the surprise in his heart again, and asked instead, "Your Majesty has never mentioned the matter of recovering your father again, has you?" ”

"Yes."

Xie Ling was silent for a while, and then asked, "Grandmother mentioned Princess Yongxing just now, and this Princess Yongxing is ...... Did something happen? ”

Xie Zhang's face sank again, revealing a look of disgust, Xie Ling gave her a cup of tea, Xie Zhang took a sip, and then said slowly:

"This princess Yongxing has been arrogant and domineering since she was a child, and when she was ten years old, she was pointed out by His Majesty to Yin Jun, the son of Yin Rui, and married into the Yin family at the age of fourteen, but this woman does not keep her duty, and often participates in banquets, and the children of the world's famous families swim together, and I don't know how many shameless things she has done behind her husband's back.

Originally, it had nothing to do with our Xie family, but at a banquet, she fell in love with your father, and at that time your father had just married the five mothers of the Langya Wang family......" Speaking of this, she shook Xie Ling's hand again and explained, "This is also your eldest sister's mother, your father and your eldest sister's mother are childhood sweethearts, and they have been married since childhood." ”

"I know, my father must have loved my eldest sister's mother very much." Xie Ling said with a smile, "What about later?" ”

Xie Ling vaguely felt: Could it be that the story of Wang Xianzhi in the Jin Dynasty will be repeated in his father, and when he thought about it like this, he listened to Xie Zhang's answer: "This Princess Yongxing has made trouble in front of His Majesty, and if I have to divorce my wife and marry her again, how could my Xie family do such a thing, but His Majesty is also reasonable, and he does not dare to offend our Chenjun Xie family and Langya Wang family at the same time, not to mention that Yin Rui is also a friend of His Majesty when he was young, so this matter will naturally be put down."

But I didn't expect that only a year later, not long after your eldest sister was born, Wu Niang was inexplicably ......"

"Mother-in-law, how did she die?"

"It was an accident...... But I knew that this accident must have something to do with her Princess Yongxing. ”
