Today's lunch was extraordinarily rich, not only hearty, but also lively.

There are Chen Bozhong and Xie Shi, Chen Zhiyi and Xie Enran, and Su Wuming and Murong Jin.

The Chen family is thrifty, and there are more than ten dishes on it, so it should be a small gathering of six people.

Su Wuming sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and felt that the meat quality was very good, but the sugar was too much, too sweet. Xie Shi looked at Su Wuming and said with a smile: "Nameless, Zhiyu is often not in the capital, and he travels all over the city, so you two can also take care of it." ”

Chen Zhiyi likes rivers and lakes, and Su Wuming is a person in the rivers and lakes, so it is normal for the two of them to meet occasionally.

After Su Wuming swallowed the ribs, he glanced at Chen Zhiyi, who was picking chili peppers, then looked at Xie Shi, and nodded, "Madame, don't worry." ”

Chen Zhiyi ignored them, she scooped a spoonful of chili corn, she likes to eat corn and doesn't eat chili, so she is concentrating on picking up chili peppers by herself.

Murong Jin's injury was just right, and he couldn't eat too greasy, so Xie Shi gave him light dishes, such as steamed crucian carp, soy tofu and so on.

Murong Jin has always eaten lightly, so he doesn't think these are tasteless.

On the contrary, he especially likes the steamed crucian carp, which has no fishy smell at all, and is steamed with green onions, garlic and ginger, and only needs to be dipped in a little bean paste, which is tender and delicate and delicious in the mouth.

"It would be nice if my sister and grandfather were there." Chen Zhiyan picked out all the spoonful of chili peppers, and poured all the remaining corn into his mouth, chewing it.

This corn is a little old, either it has been fried for too long, or a batch of corn bought in July has not been eaten much, and it has been left for too long, and no matter how good the stir-fry technique is, it cannot bring back the original taste of this waxy corn.

After saying this, Murong Jin's smile froze, but no one noticed.

Xie Ran rubbed her elbow, "Eat your meal." ”

In fact, the relationship between Murong Jin and Xie Fanghua, Chen Bozhong and Xie both understood it in their hearts.

When Xie Fanghua entered the palace, it was Chen Bozhong's suggestion, and he told his daughter that if she entered the palace, with the help of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Chen Mansion would gradually become a powerful family, rather than a low-status businessman.

It is said that farmers and businessmen, so even if a businessman has money and no power, he is still at the mercy of others.

Later, Xie Fanghua entered the palace, but Murong Jin didn't react much.

Because the night before Xie Fanghua entered the palace, he chatted with Murong Jin for a long time.

Murong Jin still remembers the scene clearly - he knew the news that Xie Fanghua was going to enter the palace, and when he was drinking alone under the moon, Xie Fanghua suddenly appeared and drank with him.

Xie Fanghua told him that entering the palace was nothing more than to better protect the people she cared about. She also told him that even if she entered the palace, she would not forget him, let alone do anything to be sorry for him.

Murong Jin once said to others: "My fate is arranged by heaven, but her fate, even if I am wiped out, I will sweep away all the demons and ghosts for her and let her control herself!" ”

It's a pity that this promise was not fulfilled.

Xie Fanghua had to enter the palace - for the sake of the Chen family.

Thinking of this, Murong Jin hung in the air for a long time, but the chopsticks that didn't pick up the vegetables were hit by Su Wuming, "What does Brother Jin think?" So distracted. ”

"Nothing."

Chen Bozhong probably guessed Murong Jin's thoughts, sighed, and sandwiched fish and meat for him, "Jin'er eat more to replenish her body." ”

Murong Jin picked up the bowl and thanked him.

Early the next morning, Xie Eran got up, changed into court clothes, and then entered the palace to go to court.

I can't hide from meeting Prime Minister Xie.

Because of the matter of Shaoqing in Dali Temple, Xie Lenran was chased and scolded by Prime Minister Xie for several days, otherwise he would not have jumped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and lived in Chen's Mansion for a long time.

Fortunately, Prime Minister Xie was at the top of the Wenchen column, and Xie Ene was hiding in the last row and was not afraid of being seen.

The court meeting during this period was nothing more than a matter of the war between West Vietnam and Chongqing - it was still the same, and neither side could reap the benefits. Xia Lingsheng was very clever and tried to avoid fighting Lu Han head-on, but instead used a formation to deal with the Western Vietnamese army.

For Xie Ran, the most important thing is the time of the next dynasty, every time at this time, he runs fast.

Faster than a rabbit.

This time is no different.

Prime Minister Xie originally wanted to chase him, but after all, he was nearly sixty years old, and he couldn't go fast at all, seeing his grandson running farther and farther, Prime Minister Xie sighed and decided not to chase.

It seems that he has to go to Chen's mansion.

"Grandpa."

Just as Prime Minister Xie was thinking about how to talk to Xie Enran for a while, his granddaughter Xie Fanghua came over from the right and called him.

After coming back to his senses, Prime Minister Xie looked at Xie Fanghua a little distracted.

This is his granddaughter.

I think that at the beginning, when Chen Bozhong personally came to propose marriage to his daughter Xie, he made a promise that in the future, the first child born to Xie would follow the surname Xie, regardless of gender.

So Prime Minister Xie agreed. He felt that Chen Bozhong could let his first child follow the surname Xie, and he must love his daughter from the bottom of his heart.

The ending did not disappoint Prime Minister Xie, the husband and wife are in love, and there are two daughters under their knees, and they can be regarded as happy in this life.

But it was his own son, who was killed by a traitor and died young.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Xie couldn't help but sigh.

"Does Grandpa have anything on his mind?" Xie Fanghua and Prime Minister Xie were walking side by side, and when they heard the sound of sighing beside them, she asked.

Prime Minister Xie is a humorous old man, and Xie Fanghua rarely sees him sigh.

Old Prime Minister Xie smiled, "It's nothing." How is Fanghua doing? ”

After returning from Zhoujia Temple, Xie Fanghua was not kept under house arrest, which can be regarded as a good thing at first sight.

Xie Fanghua nodded, "It's still the same, there's nothing big about it a day, so I like to stay in the house." ”

Prime Minister Xie suggested that she go out for a walk more, especially after dinner, and danced her hands as she spoke, telling Xie Fanghua about the benefits of exercising.

Xie Fanghua smiled faintly, seeing that she was about to arrive at the palace gate, she stopped, "Grandpa, there is one thing, Fanghua has wanted to ask you for a long time. ”

"What?"

"Grandpa rejects the Fu family very much, and even chased after Miss Fu and scolded him because he saw Miss Fu a few times," Xie Fanghua paused, "Grandpa, can you tell me why?" ”

Prime Minister Xie felt that this matter might not be hidden.

Xie Fanghua has been smart since she was a child, a tune, other people's daughters can learn for a long time to play well, but Xie Fanghua can play it while reading the score, just one song, and when she plays it a second time, she can play it again very skillfully.

Therefore, when she asked this, Prime Minister Xie's heart chuckled.

He originally thought that this matter could be hidden, but who knew that Shaoqing of Dali Temple had nothing to do, so he had to get in touch with the Prime Minister's Mansion again.

Glancing at the palace gate, Old Prime Minister Xie sighed again, "Fanghua, do you remember your uncle and aunt?" ”

Xie Fanghua nodded, "Yes." Eighteen years ago, my uncle and aunt sacrificed their lives for the country, but they went too early, which is really regrettable. ”

Xie Heran was only four years old at the time, and he lost his parents at the age of four, which was really pitiful.

"Look, you also think that your uncle and aunt died at the hands of the Beidi people, but in fact, they can not die." Prime Minister Xie's gaze was deep, and he raised his head and looked at the sky.

Xie Fanghua frowned, quietly listening to Prime Minister Xie talk about the original thing.

After finishing speaking, Prime Minister Xie lowered his head, and Xie Fanghua could clearly see that Prime Minister Xie's eyes were moist.

Xie Fanghua saw him wipe his eyes with his sleeve, and he knew in his heart, but he was also very puzzled in his heart, "Why didn't Grandpa go to report Shaoqing of Dali Temple?" ”

"How do you sue?" Prime Minister Xie shook his head, "When the old man felt that something was wrong with this matter, he spent too much energy to investigate, and after knowing the truth, more than half a year had passed, and at that time, the status of Yu Shangshu and Shaoqing of Dali Temple had already been stabilized. ”

After that, Prime Minister Xie smiled self-deprecatingly, "It was the old man's incompetence that made his son and daughter-in-law go away like this." The old man endured it for eighteen years, but he didn't expect that Shaoqing of Dali Temple would dare to jump under the old man's nose now. ”

Prime Minister Xie really regretted it, if he hadn't been so cowardly and hadn't thought about so many things, maybe his son and daughter-in-law wouldn't have died in vain.

"Actually, my uncle and aunt were killed, but the people thought that they sacrificed their lives for the country and died as they deserved," Xie Fanghua comforted Prime Minister Xie, "Grandpa doesn't have to blame himself too much." ”

Prime Minister Xie shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

He looked at the palace gate and felt that there were too many intrigues and tricks in the capital, which overwhelmed people, "Fanghua, among the children, you are the smartest." Grandpa is old and can't protect you, and the Xie family and the Chen family will have to rely on you in the future. ”

Murong Jin is also the object of his favor, but after all, his surname is Murong, not Xie, not Chen.

Xie Fanghua said: "Grandpa, don't worry. ”

"Okay, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, grandpa will leave first, you can go back too." Prime Minister Xie said, and walked towards the palace gate with his steps.

This step is obviously much heavier than the time of the next dynasty.

Xie Fanghua looked at the old back of Prime Minister Xie and sighed softly.

Back in Jinhua Palace, Xie Fanghua's mind was full of things from eighteen years ago, Qingzhi called her a few times but didn't respond, and finally Qingzhi couldn't help it, waved her hand and shook it in front of Xie Fanghua, "Niangniang was distracted as soon as she returned to Jinhua Palace, what's wrong?" ”

Xie Fanghua glanced at her and lowered her eyes again, "The Fu family and the Xie family really have a relationship, no wonder my grandfather rejects the Fu family so much." After that, Xie Fanghua roughly told Qingzhi what happened eighteen years ago.

Qingzhi always thought that the couple died for the country, so when she knew the truth of this matter, she was even more surprised than Xie Fanghua, "There is such a thing?" ”

"If we want to attack the Yu family, we must first break Yu Shangshu's right and left hand, Dali Temple Shaoqing." Xie Fanghua said slowly.

"What does Niangniang mean is that she wants to use this matter to deal with the Fu family?" Qingzhi frowned.

Xie Fanghua nodded, "This can be regarded as a matter of my grandfather's heart." It is not difficult to hear from the tone just now that my grandfather has blamed himself for this incident for 18 years. Therefore, no matter what, I have to let the world know that Shaoqing of Dali Temple has done something that hurts heaven and reason. ”

can not only suppress Yu Shangshu, but also avenge Xie Enran's parents, and also Xie Lao Prime Minister's heart. How could Xie Fanghua not do a good thing of killing three birds with one stone?

It's just that......

She frowned slightly, thinking to herself, what would happen if Xie Ran knew the truth?
