Chapter 133: Father and Son (2)
was scolded by his own father and drenched in blood, Xie Jun was full of grievances.
"How can I be blamed for this?"
Xie Jun helplessly defended: "Back then, the prince of Huainan invited me to the mansion as a guest, and I met the lord of Yongning by chance, and I was shocked. Later, the king of Huainan was willing to recruit me as his son-in-law, and I was naturally willing. β
"I never expected that the county lord of Yongning would naturally like women, and he chose me as the county horse because the Xie family has no power and no power."
"The Huainan Wangfu is powerful, I want to take advantage of the situation, so I have to endure it. Otherwise, I will really fall out, and I will not benefit at all. β
"Over the years, I have been able to hold the position of Honglu Temple, have a place among the hundreds of officials in Beijing, be valued by my boss, and talk and laugh with my colleagues, most of which are because of my father-in-law and uncle behind me."
"I can't bear it, what else can I do? I don't dare or want to divorce my wife! Fake couples are also husband and wife, and outsiders don't know about it anyway! β
In front of his father, Xie Jun made his selfishness clear and undisguised.
Old lady Xie snorted him: "Who asked you to divorce your wife!" The dignified lord of the palace married you, this is the ancestor of the Xie family! Divorce of a wife, absolutely not! You can't fall out with the county lord! β
"But you're useless! Even the county lord likes women, and with your talent and diligence, you should also impress the county lord and make her fall in love. β
Old Lady Xie looked annoyed with hatred that iron is not made of steel: "For so many years, why have you kept this matter hidden?" What kind of face do you need in front of Lao Tzu? If I had said it earlier, I would have been able to think of something for you. It won't be like this. β
Xie Jun looked ashamed of "I'm useless": "My son really has no face to say." β
finally married a noble daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law likes women and doesn't share a bed with herself. Such a shameful thing is really difficult to say even to his own father!
β¦β¦
There was a moment of silence in the study.
Old Lady Xie frowned and broke the silence: "What's the matter with Ming Niang and Yun Niang?" β
Xie Jun had to talk about the substitute exam again from beginning to end.
Old Lady Xie was angry again, and snorted fiercely: "This Yongning County Lord is really vicious!" Fortunately, God has eyes and did not let her plan succeed. β
Xie Jun was also happy: "Yes! Fortunately, Ming Niang has God's blessing! β
Mrs. Xie has lived most of her life, and she disagrees with the statement that "the sky has eyes".
Adhering to the principle of "everything looks at the result without having to study the process in detail", Mrs. Xie decisively chose to stand on Xie Mingxi's side, like Xie Jun: "Ming Niang inherited your talent for reading, and was admitted to the Lotus Pond Academy as the first place, and became the queen's protΓ©gΓ©. The future is limitless! β
"In the future, everything will be close to Ming Niang first!"
"As for Yun Niang, throw it to the county lord of Yongning. Since she recognizes this daughter, she will never let go. β
Xie Jun nodded again and again: "My son thinks so too." My father's words can be regarded as in my heart. Ming Niang is smart and filial, and if she has a future in the future, my father will definitely be able to follow her. Perhaps, the hope of the Xie family's glory will fall on Ming Niang. β
Old lady Xie agreed: "This is reasonable. β
"Ming Niang is born with outstanding appearance, and she is unparalleled in intelligence, if she can enter the palace in the future, or marry the prince, she can bring countless benefits to the Xie family."
How else can it be said that it is a father and son?
Old lady Xie's thoughts are exactly the same as Xie Jun's.
β¦β¦
Xie Jun continued to nod, and accidentally missed the truth: "Actually, it was also Ming Niang's idea to let you come to the capital." β
Old lady Xie: "......"
Old lady Xie threw the inkstone over with a black face.
Smash you conscienceless thing! I lived a good life of glory and wealth in the capital, and I didn't even think about bringing my father to the capital!
Xie Jun knew that he was at a loss, so he suffered this inkstone for the rest of his life, and endured the pain and stepped forward to accompany him: "Father is angry." It's not that the son is unfilial, it's just that as soon as the father comes, the mother and the second brother will follow them to the capital together......"
Old Lady Xie was still angry, and glared at Xie Jun coldly: "That is the case, send us back to Lin'an." β
"How can this work?" Xie Jun immediately said: "Father lives in the capital with peace of mind. β
Old Lady Xie's expression slowed down, and he sighed: "The Xu family really can't get on the stage. If it weren't for my livelihood, I would never have married such a woman. If you divorce your wife at this age now, it will cause rumors. Even the old things of the past will be recalled. β
"Otherwise, how could I put up with her for so many years!"
"After a while, I will find an excuse to send her to lead her children and grandchildren back to Lin'an, so as not to be an eyesore here."
Unexpectedly, Xie Jun said: "The county lord has been living in the county lord's mansion, and there is no one in the Xie mansion who can really take charge, which is really inappropriate." Let the mother stay! β
Old lady Xie: "......"
Old Lady Xie only froze for a moment, and then quickly reacted, squinting his eyes and whispering, "What are you going to let the Xu family do?" β
The father and son speak without concealment.
Xie Jun said frankly about his plan: "The county lord is full of ears and eyes in Xie Mansion, just in case, it is better to clear the house in Xie Mansion." Hanxiang is a concubine in the end, and the name is not right. The mother is an elder, and it is natural that she is in charge of the inner house. Even if the father-in-law and uncle knew, it was inconvenient to say more. β
That's a great idea!
Old Lady Xie thought for a while, and then said, "You don't have to meddle in this matter. I'll talk to Xu. Xu's is rough and spicy, and it is appropriate to do such things. β
Xie Jun hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "I'm only worried that she will take the opportunity to open her mouth and be greedy." β
Old lady Xie snorted coldly: "Don't worry, with me, she can't turn over the storm!" If she is too greedy, I will give her a letter of resignation and send her back to Lin'an! β
β¦β¦
The next day, in the early hours of the morning.
"The granddaughter has seen her grandfather, she has seen her grandmother."
Xie Mingxi saluted and had a beautiful demeanor.
Xie Yuanting bowed.
The etiquette course of the New Confucian Academy is also strict, and Xie Yuanting studied it for two years, and there is no mistake in the etiquette. It's just that if there is a little less respect that the younger generation should have for the elders, it will not be so pleasing to the eye.
Old Lady Xie was very unhappy in her heart, and the smile on her face faded.
Xie Jun glanced at Xie Yuanting angrily.
Xie Yuanting suddenly felt that his scalp was tight, and he didn't dare to make any more moths, so he honestly saluted and stood aside.
Aunt Ding was finally able to show her face today, standing behind Xie Jun, looking at Xie Yuanting with concern. Then, he looked at Xie Mingxi with resentment.
It's all to blame Xie Mingxi for making his own decisions!
As soon as Mrs. Xie came, so did the Xu family!
In the past, she was in charge of the trivial affairs of the house. Now that the Xu family is here, it will never be his turn!
It is said that the daughter is the intimate little padded jacket of the mother. In the past, her daughter who was obedient and well-behaved has now become a thorn in her heart.
