Chapter 836: Rubbing Rice Comes
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Mu couldn't help but become more and more worried. "What's the matter with the old man? Who's coming? ”
Father Jiang looked at his wife, and then at the people outside the crack in the door, but he didn't dare to open the door without permission.
Instead, he walked up to his wife, lowered his voice, and said, "It's that one." ”
The second monk of Jiang's mother and uncle was puzzled, so he gave him a blank look, "Don't you know how to say something well?" Which one is that? ”
"That's it...... It's my mom and his father. ”
Jiang Mu reacted to who he was talking about, and she was also startled, "What did he do when he came to us for the New Year?" This girl is not here, can she still talk to us? ”
Where did Father Jiang know how to answer his wife, he also felt very nervous.
Although her daughter also calls this person her father, after all, this is the first assistant of the dynasty, that is, the biggest official in the world as others say.
"So what do we do now?"
Mother Jiang thought for a while and said: "There is no reason to let the guests stop outside the door during the New Year, go, even if you call him in, I am not afraid of him."
The two of us haven't done anything bad, I'm afraid that he will be a big official, what are you doing? Besides, didn't my fair lady say it? No matter what, we are both her parents, and even if there is anything, my aunt can reason with him. ”
That being said, there is no confidence in the end.
Father Jiang glanced at his wife again, and felt that her words sounded very unconvincing.
But he thinks that his wife is also good, where is the reason to shut others out of the door during the Chinese New Year?
So he stepped forward and opened the door anyway.
Seeing Xie Yuncang walking in dressed in brocade, the husband and wife were a little nervous and stood aside with their hands down.
"It's a big New Year, I'm bothered."
Xie Yuncang's voice sounded very polite, and he didn't have the pretension of being the biggest official in the court at all.
The Jiang couple couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Father Jiang said dryly, "You're welcome." ”
Mother Jiang glanced at her man, how sensible she was, "May I ask what is the matter with you coming here today?" ”
Xie Yuncang was looking at the small house where the couple lived.
is similar to what he imagined, it should be something that Xie Songhua can do.
"Oh, come and see."
The Jiang couple glanced at each other, not quite understanding what he meant.
He, a big official, came to their house to see what he was doing?
Xie Yuncang smiled and said: "I should also go to my relatives for the New Year, but I don't know where to go at this time, I happened to pass by here, so I wanted to come and see you." ”
As he spoke, he went into the house without waiting for a greeting.
Where has Jiang's father and Jiang's mother seen such a casual guest?
Immediately didn't care about anything else, and the two of them quickly followed and went in.
"Thank you, Lord Xie...... You ......" Jiang Mu hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Do you drink tea?" ”
Xie Yuncang didn't seem very happy when he heard this, "Then bother." ”
Jianghu pursed his lips and muttered, "It's really not polite at all." ”
Mother Jiang really made a cup of tea, which was sent by Xie Songhua, and they didn't know what kind of tea it was, but it was very fragrant to drink, and Father Jiang liked it and stayed.
Jiang's mother felt that this was not good, her daughter was a princess, and the material conditions were naturally different from theirs.
But if they are accustomed to their daughter's filial piety, doesn't it go against their original intention?
But I refused a lot, and I was afraid that my daughter would feel uncomfortable, so I didn't shirk too much.
Xie Yuncang took a sip and said with a smile: "Fortunately, this girl Songhua is not too much, it is simply unfilial piety to let you live in such a house and not give you good tea." ”
Father Jiang couldn't hear such words, and immediately said with a cold face: "What nonsense are you talking about? My daughter is the most filial, our husband and wife were originally farmers, and we are not used to living in those high-rise mansions, this is the house we ask for. ”
Seeing that he was defending Xie Songhua like this, Xie Yuncang's face couldn't help but be stained with a light smile.
He had rarely heard such simple words, and the warmth in this simplicity was a feeling he had not experienced in a long time.
The events at the New Year's banquet were a huge shock to the dignitaries and nobles in the entire capital.
After Xie Yuncang returned to his mansion, he didn't know how to face the whole family.
The old lady naturally heard about it, but looking at her son's sad face all day long, she didn't ask after all.
It's just that this time, their family was not involved.
Jiang Shuhua didn't seem to have done anything, a slippery tire had nothing to do with them.
But Xie Yuncang felt a kind of exhaustion from the bottom of his heart.
He looked at his wife, who lived in a simple place, and now her cheeks, even if the husband and wife lived together, they couldn't say two words after an hour passed.
I hate each other, and that's probably what it means.
The son went to the local area, but he did a few good things for the benefit of the country and the people.
The fact that children are willing to get close to the people and learn about the crops is a good thing in itself.
His daughter is far away in Datong, and he is at the forefront of the war, even if he is worried, he can't do anything.
As for the other two.
An adopted daughter entered the East Palace, and almost never had a chance to meet again.
Another biological daughter threw her life into the whirlpool of power.
Xie Yuncang suddenly found that even if he realized his original ambition in life and really became the first assistant of the cabinet, he was also full of powerlessness.
For example, in today's government affairs, a monarch like the crown prince, he doesn't know how to be responsible.
From local finance and taxation, military and political deployment at border gates, to the collusion of officials at all levels......
In each case, he felt exhausted, and the first thing the prince paid attention to in every matter was the officials involved in the matter, and whether there was any force behind everyone.
In the final analysis, after so many years in the presence of the crown prince, he has only learned a little bit of power struggle.
As for the way of kings......
For the prince at this time, it seems a little far away.
And now that Emperor Yufeng is here, it seems that he is not there.
The prince is here, but it seems that he is not there.
The entire court is like a puddle of troubled water, but under this muddy water are all kinds of factions.
He once aspired to be a pure minister, but now he doesn't know who is a pure minister and whose minister he is in the end.
So on such a Chinese New Year's Eve, on the night of reunion that everyone thinks. He suddenly didn't know where to go.
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and although the streets are lively, some shops are already closed. The occasional sound of firecrackers can be heard.
But it seems that compared with previous years, there is also a bit more of a taste of loneliness.
Sister Xie Wenyuan has moved out, mainly because she is not worried about her children.
didn't expect Lin Ruoxi to do a good job, and now he has a place in Beijing.
It's also a good thing that my sister moved in with her daughter.
Maybe you can listen to less gossip.
It is useless how many times the broken mouths of these subordinates of the Xie family have been rectified, Xie Songhua said in the past that he has also seen these terrifying powers, but there is no way to change them now.
He walked aimlessly, originally wanting to see his sister.
Who knew that they had come here.
"What do you eat at night?" Xie Yuncang asked with a smile.
His appearance made Father Jiang very unhappy, "Could it be that Lord Xie doesn't have a mouthful of food at home?" ”
Mother Jiang was startled, and immediately glanced at her husband, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
After speaking, he hurriedly turned to Xie Yuncang, "Master Xie, don't mind, my family just can't speak." ”
Xie Yuncang smiled and said, "I really want to come to your house to eat!" ”
When these words came out, both the Jiang family and his wife were stunned.
Xie Yuncang smiled and said, "Song Hua girl told me before that your family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, she likes it and estimates that the taste will not be bad, our family's chef will only make those few things, and the taste is the same every year, so I want to come over today to try it." ”
Father Jiang said coldly: "I have already asked, there are many restaurants in this capital that are still open on Chinese New Year's Eve, and Lord Xie is not bad for silver, pick a family that suits your taste, it doesn't matter how many meals you eat." ”
Mother Jiang hurriedly pushed her husband with her elbow, then turned to Xie Yuncang, and said with a smile: "Master Xie, sit down and eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!" It's time for the reunion and lively, and our husband and wife are also deserted, so let's have a drink together when you came? ”
