Chapter 862: Definition of Happiness
Recently, the situation in the capital has been tense, and the Shensi Hall has not been open since the last time it was closed.
Xie Changqing has always been idle, and he was originally able to gather with a group of friends in Beijing, but now it is not easy to go out because of this tense situation.
If one is not enough, you may be put on a big hat.
Especially now that Xie Yuncang is already the first assistant of the dynasty, as the elder brother of the first assistant, he has to be cautious in his words and deeds.
So it's a bit stuffy these days.
But he was not the only one who was bored, and An's hair was about to turn gray, and he was not even interested in the things that he was very interested in in the past.
"You also know how to come back, and you don't know where to fool around day by day."
As soon as Xie Changqing entered the study, he heard An's complaining words, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew, and when he saw that this was indeed his own study, he couldn't help but be annoyed: "You woman is so rude, she is just in her own yard on weekdays, why did you sprinkle it in my study today?"
As he spoke, he bowed to the saint hanging in the middle, "Forgive me, the saint, the wife of the family doesn't understand the rules, and I hope it didn't disturb the saint."
An Shi became more and more angry, and even his eyes were red, "I'm worried about this and that, my son can't finish worrying, and I have to worry about the girl, it's good for you, you think about drinking and meeting friends every day, don't think about me at all, and now you are still practicing me like this, I have been married to you for so many years, what the hell is it for!"
Xie Changqing looked at the corners of his wife's eyes, which were already obvious wrinkles, but it was rare that he didn't gag as before, but sighed, and then looked at his wife and said, "That's it! It's all here, why don't you have a cup of tea first?"
An Shi glanced at him and snorted coldly angrily, Xie Changqing sat down behind the tea table and began to boil water.
"Well, after all these years, why hasn't this temper changed? This kind of thing can't be rushed, besides, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and both of them are in their twenties, don't they know how to think about their own affairs?"
Hearing this, An became even more angry, "You also know that they are all in their twenties? Your son is so old, other people's children are running all over the street, and he is still here to make trouble and refuse to get married, are you embarrassed to say?
Not to mention your girl! The girl in her twenties, no one wants to ask for it, I can easily find a few, and she also provokes others, well, now this reputation is even worse in the capital! I don't know what to do in the future."
Xie Changqing looked at him for a while, and when she finished crying, he said softly, "Think about it, if the third girl didn't give Qiong'er a good idea of that disease, what did you think?"
An Shi was stunned and looked at her husband in surprise.
Xie Changqing said, "You didn't think about asking her to marry into some good family, just let her stay by your side, our family is not a family that can't afford to support a girl's family, right?"
"Can that be the same? There was no way to do it at the beginning, which daughter's family didn't want to marry? How do you have children without getting married? Once you come to this world, you don't even have a post, and it makes people feel desolate when you say it."
An's tears fell again, she has been thinking about the two children all her life, in the past, because her daughter had no future, she always wanted to save more money, save more money for her daughter, and in the future, after a hundred years, her daughter will not have nowhere to live in the world.
Now, it's easy for her daughter to be normal, but she is not as pure and calm as when she was thinking about saving money.
Xie Changqing said: "Where is there necessarily good in this world, for example, Qiong'er, you said that now she can marry and have children, I think it is good to marry a family and leave a bone and blood in the world.
But have you ever thought about what kind of people are really willing to marry her, given Qiong'er's character and her reputation now?
She had already made up her mind to be filial to you and me for the rest of her life, but now you have to force her to marry, to marry those who don't look down on her at all in your heart, are you willing?
Is it just to have two children and endure the contempt of those around you for the rest of your life? And so it goes
It's better to be called an old girl by outsiders, so that you can still be at home by yourself."
The husband has never told him about the two children for life, and An always thought that Xie Changqing didn't care, how did he know that his husband actually had an opposing opinion.
This made her frown, so angry that she almost turned her back on it, "You just can't get along with me sincerely, don't you? Where are you doing this for their good, you are clearly trying to please them, you are deliberately following their wishes, and I am a bad person in this family!"
Xie Changqing did not pretend to be impatient as usual, but looked at her calmly and seriously.
"Think about it, do you want your daughter to be happy for herself, or do you want her to be as happy as you think?"
His serious appearance made An Shi slowly calm down, and looking into her husband's eyes, she found that she couldn't make trouble directly at the other party at this time.
After a while, she was stunned and said, "But...... But after these two years, even if you regret it, it's too late!"
"In this life, where is there anyone who has never regretted it? Qiong'er is not a little girl, on the contrary, she is more mature than the average girl, you always have to learn to let go.
Or are you really not sure about Vangoer at all? Do you think he won't protect his sister in the future, and he won't provide Qiong'er with a place to live?"
"How is this possible?" An flatly denied, "My son I know, I don't dare to say anything else, Brother Wen will not treat his sister badly no matter what."
"In that case, think carefully about what I just said."
An Shi doesn't know what's wrong with her husband today, and she doesn't know why, when she faces her husband today, she is much calmer than usual.
It was a long time before she raised her eyes to her husband timidly, "You...... Are you telling the truth? Is this really good for Joan?"
"As long as you don't think it's embarrassing that Qiong'er is old and hasn't married."
"I'm all angry, what do I have to be ashamed of, how old is my son, he is a real five-grade official, and he asked me for an edict seriously, look at the whole capital, and there are few who can laugh at me."
At the mention of this, An immediately came back to his strength, even when he raised his voice.
Xie Changqing couldn't help laughing, the pot water was boiling, he lifted the teapot and poured boiling water into the teacup in front of his wife, and the fragrance of tea immediately spread.
Xie Changqing said with a smile: "As for his son's marriage, don't worry, he is better than Qiong'er, and I don't know when, I will bring you a daughter-in-law back."
The situation is unstable at the moment, he knows his situation better than anyone else, and at this time, he would rather be quiet than move, so you just have to wait with peace of mind."
An Shi looked at him suspiciously, and then subconsciously picked up the teacup, took a sip, the tea slipped from the mouthpiece, and the whole person felt a lot calmer.
She nodded lightly and said, "That's it, I can't see things outside clearly, you say so, I think you have a point, I just listen to you, and I don't care about him during this time."
Seeing that he finally explained his wife, Xie Changqing breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's right, look at your worries these days, you look a little haggard, I heard that I bought a bunch of rouge yesterday?" Have you tried it?"
Speaking of this, An Shi reacted immediately, and immediately got up, "Look at me, I'm in a hurry, I forgot about this stubble, I'm too lazy to grind my teeth with you, I'll go back."
