Chapter 155: Woman's Love
Xie Gui gently tugged at his sister's sleeve, "Auntie, that little fox has always been disobedient, but I want to give it to my sister as a birthday gift, is there any way you can help me make it obedient?"
Sister Yan thought for a while, "I know that a person has a way, I'll ask her to help you get it in a few days." β
"Thank you, auntie. β
It was already dark, the night breeze was rising, the smell of wine was intoxicating, the lanterns on the cloister trestle were lit all the way, the lights were faint, and there was laughter on the lake.
Xie Yun said, "It's all very drunk in Wuling, and I'm drinking it for the second time, but it's okay for me to drink with you today." β
The two Xie Ling brothers were on business, so they accompanied a few glasses, Xie Yu and Xie Gui's brothers and sisters naturally couldn't get such a spirit, sister Yan Tianshen accompanied Hezhou to drink a good time, but Hezhou was the fastest drunk, no wonder, so much wine, he drank most of it alone, holding his chin with one hand, drunk and hazy, different chic.
Xie Yu has never seen such a drink, the people in Beijing pay attention to a reserve at any time, persuade the wine three times, and then be willing to take a sip, although the etiquette is good, the wine table must be cautious, timid, but less free and easy.
Bai Shi watched the family laugh, and he was also happy, and ordered someone to remove the cold dishes, serve some hot dishes, and prepare some decanting soup.
Although Xie Gui didn't drink, he was also full, listening to everyone's conversation, the insight here was extraordinary, the experience was extraordinary, and the conversation was interesting, so Xie Gui was fascinated by it.
The night gradually became a little colder, the dishes were changed twice, and the hot tea was drunk again, and everyone dispersed, and the sky was heavy and helped the drunk He Zhou, ready to go back, Xie Yu whispered, "Uncle Twilight went back and ordered someone to help him soak in hot water, and before going to bed, let him drink a sobering soup." β
Tian Shen turned around and smiled, "This guy, I haven't drunk any sobering soup before, and now I also experience the treatment that someone cares about." β
Xie Yu stomped his feet, "Isn't that the case between friends, it's windy at night, so go back quickly." β
Tian Shen raised his eyebrows and helped Hezhou to go back.
Xie Yu pulled his sister Yan, went back together, saw that his mother was not there, and said to his sister, "Auntie, I also want to go to Guozi Jian to study, so that I can be with you, I don't have fun at home." β
Sister Yan thought for a while and said, "Guozijian has passed the entrance examination last year, if you want to go, you have to wait until the second half of the year, and besides, didn't you also study in Guozijian for a year before, you said that it is better to teach at home, Mr. Guozijian teaches dance, don't you like it?"
"Isn't there a new dance instructor from Guozijian, and I heard that she used to be the second in the dance competition of the Five Kingdoms, although the assessment time has passed, I can go and audit her teaching. β
"Do you want to accompany me, or do you want to learn dance?"
Xie Yu said coquettishly, "I want to see the skills of real dance masters, and if there are some things I don't understand, I can ask for advice." β
"It's okay to audit, but don't use our banner, although we are martial arts training, but Guozijian is not a place to teach martial arts, we go to Dianmao every morning to supervise their exercise and training, and only arrange half-day classes on three days, even if you go, we won't meet together." β
"Well, then it's not interesting for me to go alone, so is it the same arrangement for dance teaching? If she has more time, I can also ask for advice in private. β
"Then I'll help you ask tomorrow, look at her arrangement, but most of the people who have the ability are high, if you really want to learn, you have to be sincere, in order to impress her, she will teach you sincerely." β
Xie Yu said happily, "Thank you, aunt." β
said that he was happy, just in the garden, dancing a few times, and he was actually a little free.
Although Xie Yu is thoughtful on weekdays, but she is also a child, Sister Yan looks at her rare little girl, and she is also happy for her, she originally had the heart to ask about King Duan, but also took a break, Xie Yu is sensitive, naturally intelligent, Su Yue also specially arranged a teacher to teach her, and Sister Yan is also close, the two often correspond, Sister Yan often comes to see them, and Sister Yan can be regarded as a sister Yan taught.
Sister Yan is also relieved of her, but unfortunately since ancient times, women have always been sad about love, this matter still depends on herself, if the true love is deep-rooted, you have to use some means.
Walking outside Xie Ling's courtyard, he remembered something, and said hello to him by the way, the ten princes, ah no, the matter of King Rui, they came to investigate, King Rui is on the throne, and he has to make a stumbling block for Xie Ling and others, Xie Ling only needs to deal with the affairs of the court, solve the follow-up of Xizhou, and secretly investigate the spies, and don't worry about trivial matters.
Someone to share, of course Xie Ling will not refuse, King Rui's matter is indeed strange, but most of the manpower and energy on his face are scattered, and there are too many people staring at him, and it is not safe to do things, in comparison, a few of them "idlers" are better at doing things.
Sister Yan said again, "It's not that Jiang Yu is injured, I asked Qingyue for some medicine, you can find a way to give it to him and save his life." β
"Okay, I promised someone that I wouldn't let him die, it's not too early, you should go back and rest early. β
"Hmm. β
Here, everyone in Xie Yun Mansion went back to their rooms to rest and did not mention it, but Xizhou Xie Mansion was still busy.
Xie Ming also discussed and explained affairs with subordinates at all levels under the lamp.
"These days, eighty percent of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been arrested, and some of the rest are either more clever in their means, or there is a backstage above, but since we are in charge of this matter, we must thoroughly clean up Xizhou Xiyuan for me, so that the western border is impregnable. β
The subordinate echoed, "What the general said is that if you don't make a move, you have to clean it carefully, no matter what background it is, the border is heavy, and there is no room for sloppiness, even if we don't sleep, we will find out as soon as possible." β
Xie Ming said with a smile, "It's not like this, we have enough manpower, this matter is a long-term plan, you should rest, you should eat, as long as we are here, the enemy will never step into my border." β
This is definitely confident, Xie Ming, as the most talented, prestigious, and capable general, was less than thirty years old, and was appointed to the second rank, and was entrusted with a heavy task by His Majesty, guarding the west for ten years, the enemy is difficult to attack, and even the two countries of Shang and Jin are eyeing each other, and they dare not rush forward.
A man dressed as a scribe said, "The general's words are reasonable, but this time, the officials involved in the case have reached thirty percent of the officials in the two states, and there are too many vacancies, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make up for it for a while, and the official affairs of the two states cannot be solved." β
In a word, everyone pondered, indeed, everyone is a member of the army, and there is no problem in arresting people to investigate cases, but it is easy to arrest people, and I don't know how to make up for this vacant place.
A black-faced adjutant general frowned and said, "The general has arrested so many people at once, and many people in the DPRK and China will definitely make a big fuss about it, saying that the general's is not, should we take our time, first report what is ascertained, and then secretly investigate, and then play it in batches?"
A bearded general disagreed, "It's too embarrassing for us to use military power, spend so many days and effort, and let some people go unpunished." Cleaning up the officials of the two states is the right of His Majesty to personally order the general, what do we have to fear. β
Xie Ming thought for a while and said, "We are military attachΓ©s, and we are not good at these power struggles, Your Majesty has been thinking that we are enthusiastic about serving the country, so that with our infinite trust, if even we, the soldiers who go to the battlefield, also think about power and scheming every day, then don't we live up to Your Majesty's trust?"
When the strategist heard this, it was true, the military general was originally going to be 'simple' to be likable, "What the general said is that we have put the cart before the horse, we are acting in accordance with His Majesty's will, and it is we who occupy the reason, we should complete this matter meticulously, and the emperor is here, and the Jixia School Palace has recruited I don't know how many talents, and when needed, there will be arrangements." β
Xie Ming listened and said with a smile, "Yes, there are so many talents hidden in the school palace, when necessary, they will come out, the household department is already assessing the alternate officials, but it just needs to be cleared, so it takes a few more days, the household department Shangshu has been friends with my Xie family for many years, and he is also first-class and reliable." β
Xie Ming's lieutenant general followed him for decades, and he followed him when he was still studying the art of war in Guozijian.
"Yes, the Xie family is not without people in the court, the second master, the seventh master, and the young lady are all here, with them, let's protect the frontier with peace of mind. β
All of you here are Xie Ming's henchmen, and naturally they also know some of the situation in the Xie Mansion, although Xie Ming is the eldest son of the long house, he is not the heir of the family, the old lady personally cultivated Xie Ling, but Xie Ming was not dissatisfied, and was very supportive.
Many people think that the Xie family, like other families, is just whitewashing the peace, and the family is also fighting endlessly, in fact, the Xie family is very united, everyone does not seek personal gain, the family style is excellent, and there are many talents, even if Sister Xie is a woman, her demeanor is also very outstanding.
They also sighed privately that only such a family could stand for three hundred years without declining at all.
is discussing various details, each person took out the list they had checked, the official position, Xie Ming handed it over to the deputy general, let him sort it out, and then report directly to the ministry and let them arrange the corresponding person to take over.
The bearded general sighed, "I just couldn't get used to seeing the officials in our township being rampant and domineering, using power for personal gain, so I joined the army, one is to serve the country, and the other is to get ahead and solve the stinky and corrupt officials. β
The black-faced deputy said, "I didn't expect you to have ideals with a big beard, think about our bloody battle in front, these guys not only do nothing, but also fornicate with foreign enemies, fish and flesh people, and those small works that have been hidden for a long time, it's really hateful." β
When the others mentioned this, they were also angry, and one of them said, "Fortunately, King Jun found out in time and told Xie Ling, otherwise we wouldn't have found out about the fire in our backyard now." β
"King Jun is indeed good, even if he has other purposes, it is for the sake of the people, and a disaster has been avoided for the soldiers. β
Yes, although he usually only smuggles ore, if he starts a war, these two states can definitely affect the life and death of the army.
Xie Ming also knew that Xie Ling wanted to assist King Jun, and King Jun now slowly gained prestige, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad, if he came out too early, it would be easy for everyone to be beaten, but His Majesty's body was getting weaker, and if he didn't come out, I am afraid it would be difficult to stand out.
