Chapter 535: Two Deviant People
With Xie Ying's age, it is too late to discuss marriage, and the Xie family loves her, so she has not said kiss until now.
"Not really! My grandfather told my father and mother that I can choose what I like, whether it is a dignitary or a peddler and pawn, as long as I like them, they have no opinion, just one point, the other party has to treat my mother like my father, love me and respect me, and do not accept concubines. ”
No matter how much Mrs. Xie loves her daughter, it is impossible for her to keep her by her side all the time.
"That's good, pick the one you like." Wei Ruodao.
"I want to pick a short-lived one like you, it's best if I marry him and die immediately, and then I can live alone." Xie Ying said.
"Don't, don't." Wei Ruo hurriedly said, "Don't even learn from me about this, if Mrs. Xie and Mr. Xie know, it's time to come to me with a knife!" ”
"What's wrong, I think your prince is very good, the weaker the body, the weaker, we don't expect him to help us do any hard work."
Wei Ruo was really going to be defeated by Xie Ying.
She is a soul from modern times, and she behaves a little normally, how can Yingying, a native of ancient times, have such deviant thoughts.
Wei Ruo said: "Yingying, I feel like I'm really going to be cut by your family!" ”
"No, my family has a good impression of you, even my grandfather praised you as a heroine among women."
"Which class am I the best of the children?"
"You offered that Shenwu cannon! I've heard that there have been many great victories along the coast lately, and your father has made great achievements. Xie Ying said.
Speaking of coastal matters, Wei Ruo couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is also thanks to Lord Yuan and Mrs. Yuan, who have ensured the supply of grain and grass for the anti-Japanese army, otherwise I am afraid that with this year's situation, the battle has not yet been fought, and the people's hearts will be scattered first." ”
There was a famine in many places this year, but Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which had a poor harvest in the previous two years, sprung up, not only did not have a famine, but ushered in a bumper harvest.
Not only did the people have enough food for themselves, but they also paid a lot of taxes and rents.
The treasury of the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was full, and the military rations of the anti-Japanese army were also supplied.
This is what can make the border soldiers fight without worries.
Xie Ying muttered, "Isn't this your share of credit?" Lord Yuan's report to the imperial court specifically mentioned your merits, and my grandfather told me about this when he came back. ”
"What did your grandfather say to you? About disaster relief. Wei Ruo inquired to Xie Ying.
"My grandfather said that disaster relief is very troublesome, because there are many places affected by the disaster, but the treasury is not abundant, and if you want to relieve the disaster, it is not enough to rely on Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong, and grandpa said that the emperor wants to borrow grain from the Tan family, a big clan in the northwest." Xie Ying said.
"The Tan family of the Northwest Clan?"
"You used to be in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so you haven't heard of the Tan family, right? It is a local clan, it has a history of hundreds of years, it is too big to fail, and the family has flourished before the establishment of the great cause, and it is said that the great cause was founded, and this family has contributed money and efforts. ”
"Their family is not only a farmer, but also a special person to do business, and there have been many Confucian scholars and officials in the clan, and now there are also people who are officials in the court. It can be said that this big family, farmers, industry and commerce have all accounted for it. It is said that their Tan family compound is a city, and they walk around their house, and they can't finish walking for a day. It is also said that one-third of the cultivated land in the northwest belongs to their family, in short, it is a very powerful family, and even the emperor has to give them three points of face. ”
Hearing this, Wei Ruo was a little envious.
Although Wei Ruo now owns a lot of farmhouse properties and operates a lot of shops, the scale is still much worse than that of a big family.
"In this way, this Tan family is the goal I strive for." Wei Ruodao.
"That's a bit difficult, you don't have children, if you want to grow the family into that, you have at least a few more children to spread out and prosper, right? Even if you have one, let your children have more. Xie Ying couldn't help but splash Wei Ruo with a basin of cold water.
"It's okay, I can adopt more orphans in the future." Wei Ruo thought very openly.
"It seems to work to say this, it's much faster than giving birth to yourself, and now in these days, there are a lot of people who sell children, and there are many people who are born without their parents, which is really pitiful." Xie Ying said.
Saying that, Xie Ying raised her head, looked at the long line in front of the soup kitchen, and said in a rare and heavy tone:
"I really don't know why those people in the capital still have the heart to compete for the position of the prince, this country is already like this, can't they use the mind and strength of competing for the prince to help the people? Only when there are people can there be a country, and the people are bored, so what's the use of sitting in that position? ”
Wei Ruo followed Xie Ying's line of sight and muttered, "You're right. The people may not care which prince is the emperor, but how they can survive. ”
Xie Jue was a little away from the two, and only occasionally heard a few words from the conversation between the two, and he couldn't help but be frequently surprised.
His sister and Princess Rui are really deviant enough, and every idea is so unexpected to him.
But that's what makes them special, his sister and Princess Rui are different people.
Xie Jue smiled dotingly, then turned his head to look at another tall and calm man beside him.
This is the escort who came with Princess Rui, and his appearance is not eye-catching, but his gestures are extravagant, not like ordinary guards.
Seeing him sitting at the stove and stuffing firewood into it, there was an indescribable sense of disobedience.
After a busy morning, other people in the palace came to change shifts, and Wei Ruo, Xie Ying, Xiumei, Wei Jin and Xie Jue went to eat elsewhere together.
Everyone returned to the city, entered the Xiaoyue Teahouse next to the city wall, and asked for a private room.
These days, the teahouse is very deserted, and only a few of them come here to eat every day.
Wei Jin also simply chartered this teahouse, and did not allow idle people to enter, so that Wei Ruo could eat here.
When Wei Ruo took her seat, Wei Jin would naturally help her move her seat, and after Wei Ruo sat down, Wei Jin would also pour tea for her.
When Wei wanted to wipe his sweat, Wei Jin also handed over his handkerchief.
Xie Jue on the side saw this scene in his eyes, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
The actions of this guard are a little too intimate with Princess Rui......
Xie Jue had already noticed Wei Jinyi's actions two days ago, and it was still a little strange to help do these things as a guard.
And Princess Rui's personal maid Xiumei is also present now.
Xie Jue wanted to speak and stopped, and after thinking about it again and again, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.
