Chapter 121: Let's Talk
After sending the servants back, Xie Wanshi took Xie Daoyun into his study.
Xie Wanshi's study is not big, but the furnishings inside are not exquisite, the luan and the firs are overlapped, the curtains are separated, and the multi-lacquer utensils painted with gold and lacquer are placed everywhere, but they are not as good as the multi-foot original porcelain inkstone on his table, which is engraved with complex and exquisite auspicious clouds, which can really be described as ingenious.
Xie Wanshi loves calligraphy, is also a famous person, in the early years he participated in Yi Shaogong in the Huiji Lanting held a Qing Tan Yaji, a time famous, well-known in Jiangdong, and Chen County Xie's Zhenxi general Xie Shang, Xie Yi and Xie Anshi have a clear name, now Xie Shang, Xie Yi has passed away one after another, Xie Anshi and in order to accumulate prestige and live in seclusion in Shandong, the responsibility of the Xie family naturally fell on him.
Therefore, any major decision made by the Xie family or everything that happened must be judged by him, including the marriage of the children or girls in the clan.
Therefore, when he heard the news that Xie Xuan had the good news of Longyang, Xie Wanshi would inevitably be angry.
But this anger didn't last long, especially after listening to Xie Daoyun say everything about Gu Yu, Xie Wanshi fell silent, his expression was a little complicated and indescribable, there was a hint of surprise, a hint of approval, a hint of admiration, and a hint of shock and regret that he didn't quite believe.
"The Gu Shiniang you are talking about is this Shen Qianlang, the name of Gu Shiyi Niang, the fourth uncle has also heard of it, and the name of this Shen Qianlang seems to have just become famous, they are really the same person? Is she really as smart and beautiful as you say, different from ordinary people? ”
Even if Xie Daoyun said more than once, Shen Qianlang was not a man, but Gu Shiyiniang and Yi Hai, Xie Wanshi still couldn't believe it and asked over and over again.
"Yes, this Gu Shiniang is not only smart and beautiful, elegant and profound, has the style of a famous person, and has the ambition of a broad person, but also knows how to repay kindness, and acts with great affection, even Ah Yuan is ashamed of himself!"
Xie Daoyun is also an extremely conceited person, and he has a strong nature, and the entire Xie family's peers, let alone girls, no one dares to compete with them, so she never easily admires another person.
Suddenly hearing such a proud niece praise another sister-in-law who was younger than her age, Xie Wanshi had to feel a little surprised in his heart, but the more surprised, the more he dared not doubt.
After pondering for a long time, Xie Wanshi couldn't help but sigh again: "I heard that this sister-in-law has not yet reached the end of her life, she has such wisdom at such a young age, she can be described as wise and close to the demon, ominous, Li Kang once said, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the pile will come out of the shore, and the flow will be turbulent?" It is not necessarily a good thing to have a poor family background, but you are in a hurry to become famous! ”
After sighing, he looked at Xie Daoyun again and asked, "Then what is the matter with her and Ah Ji?" You say that she attaches great importance to her feelings, but what do you say about her love for Ah Ji? ”
Xie Daoyun frowned and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, I thought that this girl was just taking advantage of Ah Ji's feelings for her, but I didn't want this girl to be ruthless, but in fact she was affectionate." ”
"You mean, she blocked a sword for Ah Ji?"
"To be able to block a sword regardless of his own life, Ah Yuan really has nothing to say, and he is ashamed to question this girl's mind and conduct again." Speaking of this, Xie Daoyun saluted Xie Wanshi again and said, "Fourth uncle, Ah Yuan thinks that this girl is worthy of Ah Ji to marry her!" ”
"You just said that she's just a concubine?"
"Yes, but after today's Zhongzheng assessment, I think it is not impossible for her mother to resume her position as a wife......
Before Xie Daoyun finished speaking, Xie Wanshi interrupted: "Ah Yuan, you think too simply, if the Shen family restores the position of the main wife, then where will the Gu family put the Yu family?" The Yu family is also a first-class scholar family in Jiangdong, and now His Majesty wants to win over Nanshi, he will definitely not embarrass the Yu family or even make enemies of him, and the ancestors of the Yu family not only contributed to the pacification of the Shen Shiju Rebellion, but also had a queen on his ancestor, the queen of Emperor Yuan. ”
"Emperor Yuan's empress?" Xie Daoyun couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this, "Isn't Emperor Yuan's empress the Zheng family?" I heard that the Zheng family was still married and had children, and Emperor Yuan still respected her, loved her, and named her queen. ”
"That's just that Emperor Yuan married the Zheng family when he came over to Nandu, Emperor Yuan had a wife in Luoyang, that is his wife Yu Mengpo, and it is also the love of Emperor Yuan's heart, when Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, but he posthumously crowned her as the queen, and decreed to be close to the Yu family for generations."
After hearing Xie Wanshi's words, Xie Daoyun's face sank and became quite solemn.
"Ah Yuan, since you said that this girl has a deep affection for Ah Ji, it is better to let Ah Ji accept her as a concubine, and compensate her well in the future, Ah Ji is my Chen County Xie family's sister-in-law, if you marry a daughter, you will definitely be judged in the future, which is extremely bad for his reputation, and my Xie family may also be suppressed by other gate valve families."
Historically, only the marriage of those with considerable power in the family will have the strength to join forces to resist the forces of other gate lords, otherwise they will be isolated and helpless, and sooner or later they will be squeezed out by other families.
Xie Daoyun couldn't help frowning, muttered for a moment again, and said: "But this girl's temperament will not enter me as a concubine Xie Dao, and Huan Che has threatened to marry her as a wife, if Ah Ji only hires her as a concubine, I am afraid that Ah Ji's reputation will be even worse, after all, now Gu Shi Niang's name has also spread all over the Health City." ”
"Huan Che?" Xie Wanshi, who heard these two words, immediately changed his face, "Is this person you are talking about the concubine that Da Sima Huan Fuzi loves?" "Huan Fuzi is the word Huan Wen.
"Yes!"
"You mean, Ah Ji is now grabbing a sister-in-law with the son of the Huan clan's big Sima?" When he said this, Xie Wanshi was already excited and angry.
Xie Daoyun hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Yes!" But ......"
"Okay, Ah Yuan, don't say any more, this matter is over, and when the girl wakes up, I will ask Ah Ji to send the girl home quickly!"
"Fourth uncle!"
Xie Daoyun still has to say something, Xie Wanshi has already begun to flick his sleeves impatiently.
"Ah Yuan, you also know that since the death of your uncle and father, our Xie family has suffered heavy losses, and now we only rely on prestige to maintain the family, although the fourth uncle received the position of Yuzhou assassin, but still has to be driven by Huan Fuzi, half of the fate of my Xie family is in his hands, Ah Ji must not conflict with the children of the Huan family at this time." He said.
"Can the prestige of our Xie family, Huan Da Sima don't dare to do anything to our Xie family, right?" Xie Daoyun argued again.
Xie Wanshi said: "If he still wants Qingwang, he will naturally not do anything to our Xie family, but if Huan Fuzi doesn't even want to clear his name, then let alone our Xie family, even the entire Health City may be about to change!" ”
Hearing this, Xie Daoyun couldn't help but sink his face, and thought about it with some horror.
After thinking for a while, Xie Daoyun suddenly said with a straight face: "Fourth uncle, A-Yuan still has a request. ”
"What request?"
"Ah Yuanken asks the fourth uncle not to tell Ah Ji about this decision first, give him some time, I'm afraid he will be sad!"
Xie Wanshi looked at her and muttered for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, I will discuss this matter with your third uncle again, tomorrow the fourth uncle will leave for Yuzhou to take office, and you have to worry more about the affairs of the Xie family's house!" ”
"Yes, fourth uncle, rest assured, A-Yuan will take care of the affairs of the inner house!"
"You are acting steadily, I am indeed relieved, as for Ah Ji......" Xie Wanshi sighed slightly, "Okay, let him first, and then make a decision after I return triumphantly." ”
After walking out of Xie Wanshi's study, Xie Daoyun only felt empty in her heart, extremely heavy and guilty, and she didn't look at the road ahead, so she walked forward aimlessly, walking, and unconsciously walked in front of Xie Xuan's courtyard, but saw a group of maids running back and forth, very busy.
One of the maidservants turned around suddenly, and accidentally knocked over the decoction in the hands of the other maidservant, and the two of them were immediately anxious and annoyed, and quarreled.
"What are you doing?"
Xie Daoyun asked sharply, and the noisy maids immediately quieted down, and several maids were panicked and timid, or holding some dishes, or some snacks, or soups, and stood in front of her in unison to salute.
"Big lady!" One of the maidservants said, "It's Shichiro-kun...... Shichiro-kun asked us to make some delicate snacks and meals to send to his bedroom, as well as ...... There is also a decoction for that little Lang Jun's injury. ”
Xie Daoyun couldn't help but feel more guilty in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "How is Xiao Langjun now?" What do healers say? ”
"Back to the eldest lady, the doctor said that Xiao Langjun has no worries about his life, but he is a little overtired and deficient in qi and blood, so it's good to take a good supplement."
"Fatigued?" Xie Daoyun, who heard these four words, couldn't help but ponder again: I don't know what this girl is hiding in her heart? What grievances does she have with the Meiniang of Chongqilou, why did she kill her?
"What about Shichiro-kun? What is he doing now? Xie Daoyun asked again, "Didn't he arrange for you to change clothes and bathe that little Langjun?" ”
The maidservant girl replied: "No, Qilang-kun doesn't allow us to touch that little Lang-kun, changing clothes, serving medicine, and even feeding meals, all of which are done by Qilang-kun himself." Qilangjun also said that he would stay there until the little Langjun woke up, and no one was allowed to disturb him, just listen to his orders. ”
After hearing this, Xie Daoyun's expression changed, and he sighed softly in a low voice, and then motioned to the maidservants to quickly send the meal and decoction in.
Compared with the Xie Mansion, the Huan Clan's Grand Sima Mansion is not so lively......
