Chapter 242: Calculation
Wang subconsciously retorted, "Bah, what kind of murderer, that's a child who is ignorant." ”
As soon as he saw that it was Xie Tuan coming in, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Although Xie Tuan used 200,000 taels of silver to "redeem" his wife's freedom, he did not let them slaughter it, but also used some means to shock these greedy people, so he gave the silver, and he had the right to honor his parents for his wife and buy a quiet place.
Since the Xie family moved away, the Li family has not been in contact with the Xie family for many years, at most, they only give some gifts according to the gifts during the Li family's New Year, and the word of mouth is in the past, but the Li family only accepts gifts and does not reply, so many years have passed.
If it weren't for marrying the Xie family, if it weren't for Xie Tuan's sincerity to the Li family, such a mother's family, the Li family's life would be very sad, therefore, the Li family also regarded themselves as the Xie family, the children of the Xie family, regarded as their own, and Sister Yan was the only girl, and it was indispensable to love.
I haven't seen her for many years, and her mother, who doesn't even write letters, will plot against her sister when she comes up, not to mention Xie Tuan, even the Li family, and she won't agree.
Fang endured it for a while, just wanted to find out from his mother's mouth that there were still those people who were calculating his sister's face, who knew that Xie Tuan was coming, and his mother, who had always regarded herself as an elder, was a little scared, and Li was relieved.
On the one hand, these people are jealous of their sister, and privately say that their sister's face is pampered, arrogant, and difficult to control, and she is not a candidate for a good wife and mother, and on the other hand, they calculate her marriage, which is really intolerable.
Xie Tuan walked up to Li and sat down casually, "My mother-in-law hasn't asked my grandson for ten years, why do I care about my sister's face." ”
Wang said, "Sister Yan is your own niece, and she is similar to my grandson, so I don't care about her." ”
"Oh, that's it, although we haven't chosen a son-in-law for her yet, but it doesn't matter if we look at it earlier, I don't know what good candidates my mother-in-law has in mind, like Fang Cai's bad morals, forget it. ”
Wang raised his eyes and looked at Xie Tuan's face, there was no displeasure, and he tried to say a few people, but Xie Tuan was just faint and did not express his opinion.
Gradually, he became a little bolder, and the Wang family thought that Xie Tuan had lost his sharpness after time polishing, and hesitated for a moment, "Your third brother's son, my little grandson, has excellent character and good looks, and the two families are in-laws, they are familiar with each other, and they are close to each other, so I think they can be matched." ”
If this is the case, the people in front are just cannon fodder used to pave the way, and the advantage is of course to leave it to her own family, her little grandson, on the surface, looks like she said, but in fact he is very strong and cowardly, and it is difficult to be a big responsibility, how can he be worthy of Xiao Jiu.
The Li family was sad and indignant in their hearts, and the family really still regarded themselves as stepping stones, and they actually thought about Xiao Jiu, which was really hateful.
Xie Tuan said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, my mother-in-law said it so well, I'm afraid you forgot one thing." ”
"Huh, what's the matter?"
Xie Tuan chuckled lightly and raised his eyes to look at the Wang family, "The Li family has not recognized our relatives for ten years. ”
He was calmed by a glance, Wang's nightmare was like this, that day Xie Tuan went to the Li family to negotiate, everyone thought that the scholar was easy to deceive, who knew that he just looked at everyone proudly and did not like it, analyzed the pros and cons, and scared everyone to death, although in the end he got 200,000 taels of silver, he was also trembling, surprised more than happy.
In the end, there is a chance that what he said will be fulfilled, and there are still one or two Li family who have not been contacted, and everyone knows that he is a hidden tiger.
Among the four masters of the Xie family, people say that the second master has a gentle temperament, but he is just a scholar, but in fact, the most rare thing about him is that he has a pair of discerning eyes to see through the situation.
Later, the Xie family returned to their hometown, and they could no longer take advantage of them, the Li family simply had a clear relationship with the Xie family, and even their daughter was gone, who knew that the Xie family would suddenly make a comeback, and the new helmsman of the Xie family was actually his own grandson.
Being told by Xie Tuan, the Wang family was very embarrassed, so he had to say, "Don't get me wrong, it's just that Su Yue is far away from the mountains in the capital, and we think that you have always resented us, so we don't dare to get close at will, in fact, I have missed you for the past ten years." ”
In front of the Li family, Xie Tuan didn't want to say anything too ugly, although the elders were at fault, they couldn't ignore the Li family's face.
"My mother-in-law is serious, Mrs. filial piety, I see it in my eyes, or don't misunderstand, if Mrs. New Year's gifts, letters, intercepted halfway, I asked Mrs. to find out the list, so easy to find. ”
If it continues, it will be difficult to end, and the Wang family will immediately accept it when it is good, "No, no, she is a filial child, I know, I will not resent my parents." ”
Xie Tuan said, "I have remembered the few candidates you mentioned, although my sister's parents are not there, there are still our uncles and aunts, and her brother is here, her brother is knowledgeable and dotes on his sister, and he will definitely help her investigate and consider it well." ”
The implication is that Sister Yan is not an orphan girl alone, easy to bully, everyone will protect him, and his brother is not easy to deceive, these people will send people to investigate the truth and truth, as for the result, you don't have to care.
Wang was said to be uneasy, thinking in his heart, he knew that the Xie family spoiled the girl, but he didn't expect to be so spoiled, and he almost stabbed the hornet's nest.
"Sure enough, it's my niece, you couple have bothered a lot. ”
Xie Tuan lowered his head and drank tea and ignored it, Li said, "This is natural, my mother is old, and she is still taking care of her life, just let us worry about these things." ”
Wang nodded hurriedly.
With Xie Tuan sitting on the side, the Wang family didn't dare to go too far, and chatted with the Li family for a long time, Xie Tuan just sat on the side and didn't interject.
In the end, Wang pretended to ask inadvertently, "Lang'er is also older now, and he won't come back to let his grandmother see it." ”
Li said, "Now that he is older and can take care of things, he will stay at home to deal with things and manage the academy, so we have to come back." ”
"I don't know if I, an old bone, can still drink Lang'er's happy wine, and when Lang'er will get married. ”
With Xie Tuan's lesson, the Li family no longer dared to underestimate scholars, so they naturally held on to a glimmer of hope that they could win over Xie Lang and let him marry the Li family, and then tie up Xie Ling.
Li naturally didn't like that his family had been calculated by them, and finally said unhappily, "The children's marriage, everyone has a mother, there is no need to tempt, there will definitely be a mother's banquet and happy wine." ”
Wang wanted to reprimand her, but Xie Tuan glanced at her, so he changed his words, "I know, you don't have to panic, I just say ask, ask." ”
After a few hours of delay, the Wang family didn't take advantage of it, and finally provoked his daughter and son-in-law to not even say a word about leaving food, so where did they come from and where did they go back.
Li was finally relieved, but he didn't expect to talk to his mother and be so "intrigued", which was really tiring.
Xie Tuan said, "It's hard for you, I want you to deal with them, they originally came for the Xie family." ”
"I'm from the Xie family, what does it matter how many people to deal with, not to mention that they are staring at my son and niece, and I can't stand idly by. ”
Xie Tuan got up and pulled her up, moving, "I see that you are tired, I am your husband, I should protect you and not make you embarrassed and sad." ”
Li Shi took advantage of the situation and half leaned on Xie Tuan, "If you are there, I am a wife and an elder, and I can only try to be happy there, and the children are still young, so we must always protect them." ”
"Yes, it's just that I have one more person to protect than you, and that is you. ”
Li smiled shyly and asked, "Why does my mother seem to be a little jealous of you?"
"I know that they are greedy by nature, and if they were to give them 200,000 taels directly, they would definitely want 200,000 taels, so I scared them first, and then gave them silver, so that they could be quiet. ”
"No wonder, my mother has always been a little unreasonable, but when she meets you, she becomes reasonable, and she is rude, please bear with me. ”
"It's okay, just scare and scare them again, and you'll be fine, you don't have to worry. ”
Seeing that he looked full of confidence, Li was also relieved, and he was also very relieved to his husband.
"That's good, but I think there's something my mother has a point. ”
Xie Tuan stopped worrying when he saw her so quickly, and he also laughed a little, "What's the matter?"
"Xiao Jiu is getting older, although she is not in a hurry to get married, but we have to find a few really good men to prepare, and let Xiao Jiu choose when the time comes, maybe there will be one she likes. ”
Xie Tuan said helplessly, "Then you have to take a good look, none of these people are not fine." ”
"Okay, well, listen to you. ”
In the evening, the emperor invited his ministers to discuss the matter, but every time Xie Ling spoke, many people always echoed it.
And Zeng Xuezhi, who narrowly escaped from crime, also began to support Xie Linglai.
The courtiers thought about the country, and the emperor should have been happy, but on the face behind the crown, an inexplicable emotion actually appeared, love and hate.
What I love is Xie Ling's ability, and what I hate is that Xie Ling actually subdued so many people in a short period of time, and even Zeng Xuezhi, who often worked against Xie Ling, changed his direction.
Knowing that Xie Ling had no other meaning, the discomfort in the emperor's heart was still overshadowed for a while.
The Zhongshu Province had already prepared a letter of crusade against the state, and after the emperor read it carefully, he praised, "Yes, there is nothing missing, there are mistakes." ”
was about to seal it, only to hear the person who handed over the national letter suddenly say, "The national letter has asked Xie Shilang to think about it carefully earlier, and pointed out the shortcomings, so that there is such a perfect national letter." ”
The jade seal fell, leaving a large vermilion seal, which was immediately sent to the Shang Kingdom.
Xie Yun has followed the emperor for many years, and he can't guess the emperor's thoughts, but he just feels a chill in his heart.
Old Seven, you have to resist it.
This is what Xie Ling had already expected, but most of these people who agree with him do not really agree with him, either they are perfunctory, or someone wants to kill, and their hearts are vicious.
However, the changes in his knowledge made people surprise his appearance, as if he really wanted to take the road of worrying about the country and the people, serving the country and the people, and he didn't know what Xiao Jiu told him.
