The candlelight in Xie Hao'an's house was dim, and it was cold and cold with a light rain outside. For some reason, Gu Ruosu, who had been thinking about Xie Hao'an, was also lying on the bed at the moment, and the wisps of moonlight were reflected on Gu Ruosu and Xie Ruqing's bed.

"Ugh." This is Gu Ruosu's nth sigh.

"Sleep, Xiaoliu is fine." Xie Ruqing stretched out her hand and took Gu Ruosu into her arms and comforted.

"You say, will the slaves and servants in the Little Sixth Courtyard take good care of him?"

"The servants in Xiaoliu's courtyard are all carefully selected, and tonight I also let the doctors in the house live in Xiaoliu's courtyard, it's okay, you can rest early, it's so late at night, you should be sleepy, if you can't rest assured, I'll accompany you to see it tomorrow morning, okay."

“…… You're right, it's late at night, those slaves must be sleepy, and they definitely won't take good care of An An...... I'm going to check it out! When Gu Ruosu said this, he immediately got up from the bed, stepped over Xie Ruqing and was about to walk out!

Xie Ruqing hurriedly grabbed the person and said, "You have worked hard all day today, it is very hard, and it is so late, Xiaoliu has slept, so don't go." ”

"You don't understand...... I'm not tired at all, I can only sleep when I see Xiaoliu......" Saying, Gu Ruosu shook off Xie Ruqing's hand, took a dark lotus embroidered cloak from the shelf, and walked out, the sky and the sky of the vigil looked confused, but for fear that Gu Ruosu would have an accident, he immediately lit the lantern and followed, leaving Xie Ruqing alone and forced to "keep the empty boudoir alone." ”

“…… You're really, still ......the same as before," Xie Ruqing muttered to himself.

The moon at night was half-covered by dark clouds, Xie Hao'an's Jufu Zhai was very bright and warm in the interior at the moment, and the exquisite incense burner wafted out a faint incense, a peaceful atmosphere.

Xie Hao'an planted a lot of precious acacia trees under the window, among which the plum blossom tree has survived the cold winter hard, ushered in the spring of the begonia bloom, the figure of the plum tree in the light of the candle flame, slowly turned into a shadow falling in front of the house, tonight there are many maids and servants are holding all kinds of things inside and outside the house, to ensure that all accidents happen.

Gu Ruosu came to Xie Hao'an's courtyard without stopping, and when she saw this scene, she was relieved a lot, but she still hurriedly and cautiously did not dare to make a sound into Xie Hao'an's house.

Xie Haoan was lying on the bed resting at the moment, his brows furrowed, I don't know if it was because of pain or nightmares.

Gu Ruosu gently sat down next to Xie Hao'an, then slowly stretched out her hand, gently loosened Xie Hao'an's frowning brows, and whispered in her mouth: "An An is good, An An is not afraid, mother is here." ”

Gu Ruosu was doing this, and at the same time, she was shocked in her heart, she would be so attentive to her nominal son, she didn't know, she thought that it was not the original owner who gave birth to Xie Hao'an in October, but herself.

But this unreliable idea passed in an instant, after all, in Gu Ruosu's opinion, he did all this because the original owner's consciousness still remained, Xie Hao'an is the only son of the original owner, for his own children, even if it is a trace of remnant soul, but the original owner, as a mother, will definitely burst out with the greatest strength.

"Mother......" Xie Hao'an unconsciously murmured, interrupting Gu Ruosu who was thinking, Gu Ruosu hurriedly responded: "Mother is here, mother has been there, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother won't let others beat you again...... ...... obediently" said, his eyes were still a little moist.

Gu Ruosu's mind was now all on Xie Hao'an's body, and she didn't notice that Xie Ruqing, who came with her behind, was standing at the door wearing only a thin undershirt at the moment, looking at their mother and son.

"Go and call the uncle to my study." Xie Ruqing stared at Gu Ruosu and Xie Hao'an silently for a long time, and then, before Gu Ruosu could react, he immediately turned around and left in the night, and said this to the little guy around him.

"But so late? Grandpa Guo, do you really want it? …… Be. Before the little guy's words were finished, Xie Ruqing cast a meaningful look, and the moment the little guy was hinted by the eyes, he immediately changed his words.

At this moment, Xie Haowen was still lying on his bed, with his wife beside him, sleeping quite peacefully, but the little guy didn't care about Xie Haowen's feelings, and loudly announced his intention outside the house, and finally even slapped the door in a hurry.

"Official, what is the urgency of my father looking for you so late!?" Hai asked while hurriedly asking Xie Hao to change his clothes

"It should be official business, maybe it has something to do with the Nanban Mission, you go to sleep first, I'll go back when I go." After Xie Haowen was slightly dressed, he hurriedly rushed out of the door, without an umbrella, and walked towards Xie Ruqing's study in the rain.

"The son has seen his father, but he doesn't know what urgency his father summoned late at night." Xie Haowen entered the study under the leadership of the servant, only to see Xie Ruqing wearing a shirt and standing under the window with a cloak and a cloak scattered, only a faint candle beside him, which covered most of Xie Ruqing's face, and the little servant retreated after Xie Haowen entered the door, and even closed the door, and there was a dead silence in the room.

"Get on your knees." Xie Ruqing stared at Xie Hao for a moment, and said these two words indifferently.

Xie Haowen sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to resist and hurriedly knelt down.

"My son knows what he is wrong."

"You are the prime minister, the head of the hundred military officials in the world, how can you be wrong." ：

"No, the son must be at fault, it's just that the son is ridiculously wrong, and now he doesn't even know what he is wrong, and he asks his father to point it out."

"I said, as the prime minister, you are not wrong."

"Father?"

"As the prime minister, you are thoughtful and not wrong, but as a son of man, as a brother, and as a member of the Xie family, you are wrong." Xie Ruqing walked out of the gloom, stood in front of the desk, and said slowly.

"My son is wrong!"

"I know that you are so smart, you know all the truth, you just don't want to do that."

When Xie Haowen heard this, his palms couldn't help but throb, as if he had returned to the time when he was a child, lying sick to escape reading and writing After Xie Ruqing found out, Xie Ruqing whipped his palms with bamboo.

"As the prime minister, the head of the hundreds of military officials in the world, you know very well that today's affairs are not just an ordinary battle between young people, the severity has already involved the scholars behind them, if you make trouble in the court, the loss of face is small, damage the relationship between several families, and let several families turn against each other is big, so for the sake of harmony in the court, and you are worried about the impact that your identity will bring if you come out, for this matter, you are unwilling to come forward, this is right."

Xie Ruqing changed his words and continued: "But as a son of man, you let your mother stand in front of you when something happens, and let your mother be alone in the face of the menacing and uncompromising Mrs. Deng, looking at your mother like an ant on a hot pot, but you still refuse to come forward, this is unfilial piety." ”

"As an elder brother who is good at peace, you have seen your brother being seriously injured by others, and you know that your brother has no responsibility for this matter at all, but you still care about the gossip and influence that your so-called face and face will bring, and refuse to come forward "tough", which is an injustice to your brother. ”

"Father, son, I have a mother and a sixth brother in my heart, and I have already planned my son, and when the Nanban mission leaves Beijing, my son will be secretly ......."

Before Xie Hao's words were finished, Xie Ruqing interrupted: "Do you want to secretly stumble General Weibei in the officialdom in the future!" Confused, you are the Xie family's son, but you forgot that my Xie family's family mission is to use the only strength in your life to dedicate your family and country. Lord Deng is the main force against the Southern Barbarians, you make him a stumbling block, that is, you put the safety of the frontier soldiers in danger and disregard, put the border people and the subjects of the world to death without regarding, you have violated the wishes of the Xie family and lived up to Your Majesty's expectations, this is disloyalty, maybe I was wrong just now, you are just a good prime minister on the surface......"

"Father! The son really knew it was wrong! ”

"You have been smart since childhood, many people have to learn the knowledge for a long time, you have studied once and will never forget, many principles of life, you don't need me to deliberately tell, you can also understand, I have always been very at ease with you, and even feel that you are the one who is most like me, but I have forgotten that officialdom is a big dye vat, even if you have not been involved in those privacy calculations, but this does not mean that you will not be private calculations."

"Father...... I ......"

"You're right, people don't die for themselves, if a person can't love himself well, let alone love others? But you forget that in this world, if a person does not have any person or anything that you should give up, simply put, if you have no weaknesses, then you are an incomplete person, and sooner or later...... You will fall from the clouds to the mire. ”

"I told you that the world is not just black and white, there are gray areas, but you should also know that for the family who loves you wholeheartedly, it can only be white, or more accurately, it should be the vast majority of white, you can calculate your family, and even use your family, but you can't harm your family, and you can't stand by and watch your innocent family who only wants one truth......"

"I also know that now you seem to be full of flowers, but in fact you are roasting on a charcoal fire, which is quite difficult, but how can the Deng family not be like, Mrs. Deng can no longer cherish feathers for her family, and even would rather play a scoundrel to take people away, what about you? Is flashy feathers really so important to you? Is it important enough to allow others to reverse right and wrong, turn big things into small things, and make small things to oppress your family? ”

"You are roasting flowers on a charcoal fire, but our whole family, why not......"

After Xie Haowen heard this, he was silent and didn't say a word, but just slammed his head on the ground and made a muffled sound.

"You're also older, it's no longer the age you need me to beat the board, I won't punish you, you can go back...... It's good to have a good understanding yourself......" Xie Ruqing sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, and said lightly to Xie Hao, who was kneeling on the ground.

"My son understands ......"

Xie Haowen said a few words in a daze, and the whole person was like a walking corpse whose soul was stolen and only a shell remained, and slowly left the study, the rain outside the house became heavier and heavier, and even thundered, and the little guy who was waiting outside the door was scared, and the little guy wanted to hold an umbrella for Xie Haowen, but Xie Haowen pushed the umbrella away and walked alone under the heavy rain night...... In the end, it slowly disappeared in front of Xie Ruqing's eyes.

"Your eldest son is old, and he has more problems, but he is not as cute as when he was a teenager." The bookshelf behind Xie Ruqing slowly parted from the middle, revealing a deep and endless secret room, and a green-robed man walked out of the secret room.

"If you stay in the officialdom for a long time, you will inevitably get those stinky problems, but fortunately, you can find it early and correct it in time."

"Haha, he is worthy of being a father of six children, and he is more patient with his own children than others, and he is willing to give him a chance."

"As a father, it is my duty to teach my children the truth of being a human being, and it is not understood by you, a person who is only responsible for giving birth and not responsible for raising."

"Hey, so what, I'm most annoyed by what you're saying, I don't want those children in the first place, whether they can live or not, it all depends on their own creation, I think it's good for me to do this, I don't have to be responsible for the children, and the children don't have to support my father, who has never met before, to die in old age, it's reasonable."

"Fallacies and heresies......"

"Cut...... You will never understand my happiness, but I have done everything you have told me...... When are you going to do it? When the green-robed man said this, his tone was no longer stubborn and irreverent, but he whispered extremely seriously.

"It's not that fast, you watch them for me first, if there is any trouble, you remember to inform me in time, if necessary, you can also act on your own."

"Okay, I see what you mean...... This group is just mice, we must be able to solve it beautifully, you are a fox and I am an eagle, are you afraid of this thing?! ”

"Well, I'm talking to you about business...... Are you old or not serious...... That's it...... Go back, be careful on the road, don't be spotted by others. Xie Ruqing shook her head helplessly and said.

"Cut, I'm very serious, okay, you're too old-fashioned, and I don't know if your daughter-in-law has taken a fancy to you...... I'm not bad...... Alas~"

"...... Ten more times, my lady will always like me. Xie Ruqing gritted her teeth but said very confidently.

"Hahaha, this is like a person, always so fake, who to show it, it seems that Gu Gu has really changed you...... You kid...... Good luck...... If Gu Gu had chosen me in the first place, maybe ...... I'm going to have a different life......" The green-robed man suddenly felt some emotion.

Xie Ruqing frowned, and when he was about to comfort him, the green-robed man smiled again and said, "Okay, I'll just tell you some jokes, you don't have to take it seriously, I'll go first...... Take care of yourself. As he spoke, he patted Xie Ruqing on the shoulder, and then walked into the dark secret room again.

Everything returned to tranquility as if nothing had happened......
