Chapter 208: Satisfaction
Qin Mingyue said: "Does Xie Xiang still have any questions? ”
Xie Xiang didn't want to talk to Qin Mingyue at all now, this time, he had already put the Xie family and the people he had accumulated over the years. I really don't know how much more I will lose if I talk about it again.
Xie Xiang hurriedly began to chat.
Qin Mingyue couldn't help but snicker. It just so happened that at this time, the feng shui masters had all measured it, Qin Mingyue took the feng shui masters to leave, she had to go back and carefully calculate the feng shui of Xie Xiang's mansion, Xie Xiang was so good at talking, she also had to repay the favor, didn't she?
After Qin Mingyue left with the people who picked up the star building, Xie Xiang's eldest son went to Xie Xiang's tearoom and replied, "Father, I have already sent the national teacher." ”
Xie Xiang looked at his eldest son Xie Tingfen's already gray hair, and couldn't help but sigh. Time is really unforgiving. In the blink of an eye, the eldest son was almost fifty years old. In fact, Xie Tingfen is not Xie Xiang's eldest son, Xie Xiang had two sons earlier, but one of them was a concubine who died when he was more than a year old. One was born from a grandmother, but he also died at the age of seven. The eldest son in front of him is actually the third son. Before Xie Tingfen, there were several daughters, some of whom grew up and some died young.
Xie Xiang calculated, if his real eldest son was alive, I was afraid that he would be in his fifties now, almost sixty. Can you not grow old? My sons are old, let alone myself.
Xie Xiang felt that he was old and frail, and he was even more determined to arrange a future for the Xie family, and not let the Xie family, which had become a first-rate family, be left unexpected.
Xie Xiang nodded and let his son in, and said, "Tingfen, you are also almost fifty years old, and your grandson can already go to the field." The old father is already old, and if nothing else, at the end of the year, he will be killed. ”
Xie Xiang had already discussed this matter with his family, and Xie Tingfen was not surprised, he said honestly: "Father, the sons are unfilial and unproductive, and the tired father has to work hard at such an age, and he can't take care of himself." ”
Xie Xiang shook his head and said: "I, Xie Minghui, was born in the Xie family, a scholarly family in Zimozhou, and began to study hard when I was a child. After that, he was a eunuch for many years, and he had no outstanding talent, nor did he have a bad heart, but he did his own work in a proper manner, and all the advantages were just calm and diligent. After so many years of hard work, he finally got the emperor's affirmation, became the center, and became the prime minister. Our Xie family also came out of Zimozhou, especially our one, which has long taken root in the capital and become a first-class family. ”
"Tingfen, you are now an official of Sanpin, right? Your two brothers are both fourth-rank and fifth-grade officials outside. Your sisters are all married to scholarly families or first-class noble families in the capital. is the third generation, and now, there are also four Jinshi, and there are already two lifters in the fourth generation. Our Xie family is a scholarly heirloom, with deep roots and lush leaves, and it is extremely prosperous. ”
Xie Tingfen smiled and said, "Isn't it all my father's credit? ”
Xie Xiang said: "You all work hard, but if it weren't for the fact that you have come to this day, if it weren't for a prime minister father like me, how could it be possible?" The Xie family can have today, I say unceremoniously, I have made great contributions. ”
Xie Tingfen nodded repeatedly. As the son of the prime minister, his life is indeed smooth, not only married the daughter of a wealthy family, his career is smooth, and his children are also very good, and now, even the eldest grandson has the identity of a person. Now, I am studying hard and preparing for the next scientific examination, if there is no accident, there should be no problem for a Jinshi at that time.
This kind of life makes Xie Tingfen very satisfied.
Xie Xiang said: "However, when the moon is full, it is lacking, and when the water is full, it is overflowing." Our Xie family has reached the peak, and it is very possible that we will go downhill below. ”
Xie Tingfen was stunned, he had expected such a situation a long time ago, but every time he thought about it, he still felt uncomfortable. Falling from a height is not pleasant. Although after his father's dedication, his brothers, as well as his children and grandchildren also stepped into the officialdom, the scholarly fragrance continued to rise. However, in the end, this is just an ordinary official, where can he compare to being the prime minister?
Perhaps seeing the bitterness at the corner of his son's mouth, Xie Xiang said: "At the end of the year, I will be a servant." Don't worry, even if I am Zhishi, the Xie family will not fall immediately. I have already found a backer for our Xie family. That is the national teacher and the king of Qin. ”
Xie Tingfen's heart tightened, the national teacher was the backer, it was naturally good, but King Qin, Xie Tingfen was a little confused.
Looking at his son's somewhat confused eyes, Xie Xiang could only continue: "Even if we take refuge in King Jin now, it is not certain whether King Jin can succeed or not, not to mention that even if he can succeed, his father is not optimistic about him." Everyone said that he was a good king. Hmph, but in my opinion, he is ambitious and talented, keen on power, but he has no corresponding ability, is selfish, does not think about the country, and does not put the people in his heart. Such a person is not worthy of being a master. If he reluctantly became the master of the people, then Da Zhou was likely to be buried in his hands. ”
If Qin Mingyue was here, he would definitely praise Xie Xiang's accuracy. In his previous life, Xiao Xi was on the throne, didn't he make the people miserable?
When he heard these words in Xie Tingfen's ears, it was like thunder, he was busy looking around, and found that there was no one else, so he said, "Father, be cautious." The Jin Dynasty is now in full swing, and there is a great possibility of success in the future. Besides, now, there are only three adult princes in the emperor, and the abolished prince is no longer a prince. King Qin also achieved Wuzong. Then only King Jin is left. If my father offends King Jin, in the future, our Xie family will really be in trouble. ”
Seeing his son's cautious appearance, he couldn't help but be a little unhappy: "What are you afraid of?" Before today, Xiao Xi still had the possibility of being on top, but after today, he no longer has any possibility. ”
Xie Tingfen couldn't help but be taken aback, but then, he understood that this must have been an agreement between his father and the national teacher in this tea room just now. My father has always been on the opposite side of the line, but I didn't expect that just now, my father actually stood in line, or stood on the opposite side of King Jin.
Xie Tingfen frowned: "Father, since you have made a decision, we will naturally follow." However, we are on the side of King Qin, and King Qin cannot ascend the throne, what should we do? ”
Xie Xiang said: "King Qin can't ascend the throne, but isn't there still the four princes of his mother's compatriots?" ”
Xie Tingfen couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the fourth prince? The baby that's still in swaddling?
