Chapter 788: Another Heaven (3)
The good news came out of the palace like the wind.
Xie Jun, who was in the official office of the Ministry of Rites, heard the news, and deeply exhaled a breath that had been accumulated in his chest for several days. Ecstasy jumped into my heart.
That's great!
Everything was as expected!
His Royal Highness the King of Shu succeeded to the throne as the Son of Heaven, and Princess Xie Mingxi of Shu will be the queen of the Middle Palace.
The Xie family will also become the queen's mother's family.
In an instant, Xie Jun seemed to have seen the strong rise of the Xie family in the next twenty and thirty years of Chinese New Year's Eve, and his heart was so excited that it was almost difficult to control himself.
At this moment, he was also deeply grateful. A few years ago, he made the right choice. abandoned his eldest son Xie Yuanting and eldest daughter Xie Yunxi, and put all his bets on Xie Mingxi.
It turned out to be the wisest decision of his life.
"Congratulations to Squire Xie!" The left waiter of the Ministry of Rites came to congratulate him in person.
The Book of Rites was martyred, and all the affairs of the Ministry of Rites were handled by two waiters. Xie Jun, as the right waiter, is slightly lower than the left waiter, which is also a common practice in officialdom.
However, today, the expression of the Zuo waiter of the Ministry of Rites who came to congratulate him was particularly warm and sincere, which greatly satisfied Xie Jun's vanity.
"The Great Qi has changed to establish a new emperor, and we, as officials in the DPRK and China, are overjoyed." Xie Jun pretended to be official. His eyes flashed with joy and he was reserved, but he couldn't hide it from anyone.
Zuo Shilang saw it in his eyes, and his heart was dripping with blood with jealousy.
But it's useless to be jealous of such things. Xie Jun was born with good luck, relying on his wife in the first half of his life and his daughter in the second half of his life...... The county lord of Yongning doesn't mention it, the focus is on his daughter's competitiveness!
His Royal Highness the King of Shu obeyed the words of the Princess of Shu, which was better than Emperor Jianwen to Queen Yu back then. When His Royal Highness the King of Shu ascends the throne, the glory and wealth of the Xie family are just around the corner!
Because it was still in the filial piety period of Emperor Jian'an, there were officials from the Ministry of Rites who came to congratulate and pat a sycophant, but no one dared to mention that they came to drink or anything like that.
……
In the evening, Xie Jun returned to Xie Mansion with a spring breeze. also brought this great news back to the Xie family.
Old lady Xie was so happy that she almost choked on the tea and couldn't get up in one breath, causing a tragedy.
The family gathered around and stepped forward to pat Mrs. Xie on the back.
Old Lady Xie finally gasped back in one breath, followed by a series of long laughs.
He is a talented man from a poor family, and he has a son who has been admitted to Tanhua, so he thought that this was the pride of his life. Unexpectedly, good days are still to come.
His granddaughter is going to be the queen.
He, the grandfather of the Xie family, has to be crowned a king and a knight!
Hahaha!
Xu was also full of ecstasy, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect it!" I never thought of it! Our princess of Shu has one day to be the queen of the middle palace! Eh, in the future, won't our Xie family be going to soar? ”
Xie Jun was in a very good mood, and he didn't care about Xu's vulgar words, and said with a smile: "Mother's words, it's okay to say them at home." If someone comes to congratulate her, the mother must be careful and not to talk nonsense. so as not to cause trouble for Queen Xie. ”
I even called Queen Xie, and I had the face to let her be cautious in her words and deeds!
Xu Shi muttered in his heart, but he smiled like an old chrysanthemum on his face: "Yes, yes, look at my mouth, I am always so open-mouthed." ”
Xie Mingque was also very happy.
Xie Lanxi and his wife went to the domain with the King of Shu, and their son Xie Yuanzhou was also a confidant of the King of Shu. Later, the king of Shu sat on the dragon chair, and his son and son-in-law had a good future.
On the evening of this day, Xie Jun went to Lanxiang Courtyard.
Lanxiang Courtyard is still locked as usual, and Aunt Ding is getting older and older, like a withered flower, without any fresh energy. Xie Jun is two years older than Aunt Ding, and now standing beside Aunt Ding, he looks a few years younger than Aunt Ding.
"Hanxiang," Xie Jun rarely called Aunt Ding's maiden name softly: "I came today because I have a great joy to tell you." ”
Aunt Ding's heart was like ashes, and her face was full of wood: "What kind of happy event?" Could it be that you are planning to take Yuanting and his wife back to Beijing? ”
Xie Yuanting was locked up in the old house in Lin'an for a few years, and finally stopped honestly. The year before last, after the Shu King and his wife left Beijing, Xie Jun sent Xie Qingshan to Lin'an to take care of Xie Yuanting's family affairs.
Xie Qingshan followed Xie Jun's instructions and deliberately chose a daughter of a small household with a spicy temperament.
The family's surname is Sun, and the family has a daughter and four sons. I was worried all day about the four dowry gifts that my son wanted to marry. The Xie family paid a large amount of dowry, which made the Sun family dizzy, and they happily agreed to the family affairs. withheld all the dowry gifts, and without even purchasing the dowry, he sent his daughter to the Xie family's old house.
Sun Shisheng's appearance is delicate, and he was famous for his pungent and capable family in his mother's house in the past, and his strength is not weak. It is not a problem to carry two buckets of water with a flat shoulder.
Xie Yuanting thought that the Sun family was rude at first, picking and choosing, and humiliating words at every turn.
Sun endured it for a while, and gradually found that Xie Yuanting was strong and middle-class. The subordinates in the Xie family's old mansion had already been advised, and they looked at Xie Yuanting very closely. Xie Yuanting couldn't get out of the house at all. Later, he learned from the Xie family that Xie Yuanting had done some "good deeds" before being sent back to his hometown.
Sun quickly straightened his waist, scolded, and beat Xie Yuanting again.
Xie Yuanting was beaten to the point that his head was bleeding, and no one cared, let alone supported Xie Yuanting.
After Xie Jun learned about this, he sent someone to send clothes, gold and silver back to the old house. Sun was quite happy when he got the approval of his father-in-law. Since then, Xie Yuanting has become more and more severe. urged Xie Yuanting to get up early and go to bed late every day, forcing Xie Yuanting to study.
Xie Yuanting threw down his books for a few years, his leg was lame again, and it was impossible to take the imperial examination again, and he was not interested in reading. But as long as he showed a little laziness and reluctance, Sun would grab him and beat him, and starve him for two days. Xie Yuanting was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy and he had to give in. When I started reading, I worked harder than before.
Xie Yuanting was miserable by the tigress-like Sun, but unfortunately he had nowhere to complain. Even if he wrote a letter, he couldn't get out of the door of the old mansion of the Xie family.
Xie Jun didn't hide it from Aunt Ding, he came back to Lanxiang Courtyard once or twice every other month, and he had to tell Aunt Ding about Xie Yuanting's situation.
Aunt Ding cried a few times at first, but later, she slowly became numb.
In short, it's good to be alive.
Aunt Ding's biggest wish now is that Xie Jun will send a kind heart and take Xie Yuanting back to the capital. and the hateful Sun, too. She must have been angry for her son for the past two years!
"The happy event I want to talk about has nothing to do with the Yuanting couple."
Xie Jun glanced at Aunt Ding deeply: "The first emperor has been buried, and the Queen Mother issued a decree today to make His Royal Highness the King of Shu the Son of Heaven." ”
"The Ministry of Rites has begun to choose an auspicious day to organize the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor. Immediately after that, it was time to canonize the queen. ”
Aunt Ding: "......"
