Chapter Ninety-Nine: Mrs. Tai's youngest son who ate a big melon
At dusk, the sunset is still in place, the twilight covers the pavilion, the spring breeze blows strongly, sending away the distinguished guests of the Yanguo Mansion and the Yinwang Mansion, the Qingshan road is long and tortuous, and they are accompanied all the way, in addition to the people, there is also this great scenery.
The curtain on the carriage was blown obliquely by the breeze, revealing a small corner of the carriage, exuding a faint smell of fat powder.
The little girls scrambled to poke out their little heads and look at the sunset and dusk, the quiet beauty of the mountains and forests.
Xie Hao'an, who has always loved to join in the fun, sat angrily among the little girls such as Xie Yihua and Xie Yihua at the moment, staring at these little girls with his eyes tight, refusing to leave for a moment, he refused to go outside to ride a horse, nor did he refuse to follow the little girls to watch the scenery together, he almost had to tie them to his waist to feel at ease.
Gu Ruosu, who didn't know what was going on, looked at his little son's demeanor, couldn't help but put down the tea in his hand for the time being, and asked:
"An An, what's wrong, what's wrong, I have to stare at these little girls with good eyes, what's wrong? Can someone else snatch these little girls? ”
Gu Ruosu just said casually, but unexpectedly, it hit Xie Haoan's heart, Xie Haoan heard this, and immediately lowered his head unhappily and refused to speak.
Gu Ruosu looked at Xie Hao'an's appearance, and immediately reacted, she may have said something wrong, but she was still confused, so she had to turn her eyes to Xie Ruqing for help.
But Xie Ruqing also shook his head rarely, saying that he didn't know what was going on for the time being.
Just when Xie Ruqing and Gu Ruosu were confused, Xie Yihan, who was still a yellow-haired little girl, held a cloth tiger in her hand, and said in a milky voice:
"The little uncle is angry, the little uncle is unhappy, the sisters asked for a red sign, looking for the brother-in-law, but the white-bearded old man said that the sisters had a bad marriage, and the little uncle was angry and wanted to open the stall, but was stopped by the sisters."
When Gu Ruosu and Xie Ruqing heard this, they glanced at each other, and finally, Gu Ruosu patted Xie Haoan's hand and said comfortingly:
"You kid, you don't say anything, this kind of thing is just a reference, not necessarily accurate, it means that these little girls are still young, and they don't know what the future will be, don't care too much."
Xie Haoan felt Gu Ruosu's comfort, and immediately complained to Gu Ruosu very aggrievedly:
"Mother! I don't want to be angry, but you don't know, what the old Taoist priest said, saying that our family wants to get married late, and we can't get married when we are young, and our husband and her will be a combination of strong women and weak men!
He also said that our family Yihua will definitely have two relationships in this life, one of which is to continue the previous relationship, and to marry twice, what do you say about having no fate and no fate! I'm mad! ”
When Xie Haoan said this, he was already filled with righteous indignation, and his eyes were eager to burst into flames, Gu Ruosu hurriedly handed Xie Haoan a glass of water, thought about it and said:
"It's nothing, even if what the old Taoist priest said is true, you think, An An, between men and women, getting married early and getting married late, it's just a small thing, a small thing, it's not important that men are strong and women are weak, women are strong and men are weak, the important thing is that two people can have affection for each other, and love for a lifetime is the most important thing."
"However, these days, if the girl gets married late, she will be gossiped about, and I don't want her to be gossiped about." Xie Haoan still frowned and said.
"What gossip, who dares to say it! Who dares to gossip about our family, I want to see, who dares to say in front of our Xie family, don't say that the idea is late to get married, even if Yihua is said to be approved by the old Taoist, how can it be that he wants to marry twice?
Besides, these days, there are many couples who are divorced, or widowed and remarried, who dares to gossip!
If anyone really dares to say such gossip, they have the ability to run to our emperor and queen to say it! Gu Ruosu said indifferently, quite thinking that her son was a little worried.
It's not that she Gu Ruosu doesn't know the constraints and opinions on women in this era, but she found that this era is not like a certain Qing Dynasty that is closed to the country, wrapped in small feet and uncivilized, but quite like the style of the Wuhuang period in the Tang Dynasty, and is quite tolerant and open to women, even if there is still the shackles of the so-called Gangchang ethics, but the status of men and women is also equal, and they cannot be reduced to the deformity of master and servant
On the contrary, as long as the girls' confidence is strong enough and their own skills are enough, they are not afraid of being angry in their husband's family at all, but the husband's family may have to rely on women......
The girls in their Guogong Mansion are naturally very confident, as long as the Xie family does not fall, the girls of the Xie family, even if they get married, are not afraid of losses.
What Gu Ruosu could think of, Xie Hao'an, as a lifter, could naturally think of the stakes, but when he thought of the hexagram that the old Taoist priest gave Xie Yi, Xie Haoan still said a little helplessly:
"But mother, that old Taoist gave our family meaning, and approved a life that is the same as that of Chu Guo's princess Chu Liyi, that Chu Liyi, how precious his identity is, but in the end.
Other nephews and nieces, son, I naturally understand, even if those numerology are really accurate, our Xie family's girls are not afraid, but ...... The only thing that is interesting about this signing...... I'm really ...... son."
Gu Ruosu tilted her head, although she had the memory of the original owner and a certain understanding of this dynasty, but she didn't know much about this legendary woman Chu Qiyi, the princess of Chu Kingdom, who had multiple buffs in the mouth of the world, "the hero of the world", "the heroine", "the bloodthirsty devil", "the lewd shrew" and "the first beauty in the world".
And Xie Ruqing, who had been silent, immediately noticed the embarrassment of her daughter-in-law, so she said:
"It means that Chu Xianyi is Chu Xuanyi, and the same signature may not be the same fate, if you have the kung fu to think about things that may not necessarily happen in the future, it is better for you to think about your own affairs first."
Xie Hao'an suddenly heard Xie Ruqing speak, so he immediately sat upright, listening carefully to Xie Ruqing's words, although Xie Ruqing's words were only a few words, but they made Xie Hao'an pause.
Xie Haoan was about to say thank Xie Ruqing, but suddenly heard Xie Ruqing continue:
"Your friends Qi Lan and Liang Liuqi are now preparing for the imperial examination, and you ...... But you are still messing around at home, you are already a lifter now, if you go further, you can go to the palace to take the exam, study hard, not allowed, you can also be a jinshi. ”
"A few years ago, I told you that I didn't want you to be an official because I was afraid that our family would make a big fuss, but now, I don't want to continue to stop you, if you want to, go ahead.
Otherwise, your mother only has one biological child, and a hundred years later, you don't even have a daughter-in-law, let alone a son and daughter, and you don't have an independent cemetery to bury, and your mother and I will not be at peace under Jiuquan. ”
Xie Ruqing's words are half-true and half-false, and it is true that he hopes that his child will have a good future, but he has to ask his child to make meritorious contributions but it is false, his own child, he knows best, is talented, and should be born in the mountains and rivers, not confined to the temple.
Saying this this time, one is just hoping that his son will not be cranky because of a few sticks, so that his precious daughter-in-law will suffer together, and second, he really hopes that his son can plan more for the future.
Xie Ruqing thought, Xie Hao'an didn't know everything, at this moment, Xie Hao'an suddenly didn't dare to speak for a long time like a cat who was choked by the back of his neck.
Xie Hao'an himself has no intention of being an official, his favorite thing to do in this life is to go around the mountains and rivers, a few years ago, his father did not let him go to the palace test, in a certain point of view, but he also obeyed his wishes, but he didn't expect that a few years later, his father suddenly changed his mouth seal and allowed himself to go to the scientific examination......
Obediently rumbling...... My own dad is really fickle...... It's just that he suffered, and he didn't know how to escape from this matter, after all, ...... Where in this world are there parents who don't want their children to embark on a career and glorify their ancestors......
Even if his family is already a high-ranking family, no one will be too little to add luster to it......
"Haha...... Ha ha...... This ....... father, mother, and imperial examination, you are talking too suddenly, and I really have no preparation for my son...... I'd better think about it......"
Before Xie Hao'an's words were finished, he was interrupted by a few little girls who didn't know when they started watching the play, just look, Xie Hao'an's favorite niece Xie Yi, smiled maliciously and said:
"Grandfather and grandmother, this kind of imperial examination, let's let the little uncle think slowly, the so-called starting a family, starting a family, grandfather and grandmother, you might as well marry a beautiful lady for the little uncle first, and if you become a family, you can naturally start a business~"
"Yes, yes, little uncle, you are so beautiful, if you are willing to fill in a younger brother and sister for us, you have to be a handsome little girl and little brother~"
"Poof, let's not talk about whether to add a little brother or sister, if the little uncle marries a wife, who do you have to marry, our little uncle is known as the first Langjun in Kyoto, how many girls like our little uncle~
I don't know if my grandfather and grandmother really want to pick a lady for my little uncle and a little aunt for us, what kind of look will I choose~"
“……”
“……”
Little girls, you are teasing Xie Hao'an word by word, and you are constantly comparing the background, appearance, talent, etc. of the girls in which family, as well as the degree of compatibility with Xie Hao'an, I can hear that Xie Hao'an, an innocent young man who has not yet talked to the object, almost turned red into a crayfish.......
Xie Hao'an listened to the words of a few little girls who were becoming more and more out of tune, and couldn't bear to stomp his feet, and said:
"You little girls, you are not very old, and you still joke about me, beware of turning back, if you suffer a loss in marriage, I ...... I...... I'm an uncle, and I won't come to the door to categesize for you......"
Xie Yi heard this, and immediately puffed and said:
"Little uncle, if you are really willing, we are being bullied, you don't care, then don't come, it's a big deal...... When the time comes...... Let's go and complain to my little aunt...... Let the little aunt clean up your little uncle......"
Xie Hao'an became more and more embarrassed...... Pointing at Xie Yi, the little girl who smiled and staggered didn't say anything for a long time, and finally couldn't bear to knock on Xie Yi's brain, and said:
"You little girl...... Dare to ask me for a daughter-in-law and make fun of me...... It's really Tai Sui's head breaking ground! Watch out...... Watch out...... Go back, your Uncle Chen buried you alive! ”
After saying that, Xie Haoan didn't give these little girls a chance to make fun of themselves at all, and immediately got out of the carriage and ran out to ride a horse......
Xie Ruqing and Gu Ruosu, who were sitting in the carriage, glanced at each other, looked at the smile that was about to overflow in each other's eyes, and pointed to the position where Xie Hao'an had just sit, and everything was silent......
The sun was setting over the hills, the stars were hanging low in the sky, and the moon was reflected on the surface of the moat, illuminating the scene of an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages passing by.
When the moon was gradually half-concealed by the clouds that appeared out of nowhere, the carriages of the Yanguo Mansion and the Yinwang Mansion parted at the intersection of a street, and each headed for its own door.
And Gu Ruosu couldn't resist the deep sleepiness here, and fell asleep......
When the carriage slowly stopped at the main gate of the Yanguo Mansion, Xie Haowen and the others, who had been guarding the door, saw that after everyone got off the carriage alone and returned to the mansion, Xie Ruqing finally hugged Gu Ruosu and slowly got out of the carriage......
"Father......" Xie Haowen hurriedly ran to Xie Ruqing, dismissed the people around him, lowered his voice and saluted.
"Well, wait a long time, go back, if there is something important, if you don't have to say it, tell me tomorrow, I will take your mother back to rest now."
"Son, I'm ...... Nothing matters...... I just want to come to greet my father and mother......" Xie Haowen looked at Xie Ruqing's back as he was about to leave, and immediately said out loud.
When Xie Ruqing heard this, he stopped for the time being, and looked at his eldest son, who was seven points like him and had already been able to bear everything alone, for a long time......
Xie Haowen reined in all the sharpness and momentum of the superior that he had accumulated over the years, and let Xie Ruqing look at him wantonly like an ordinary child......
"Your mother is not angry with you, and I will naturally not be angry with you, so you don't have to be so careful...... Officialdom is like this, I don't care about you, I just hope you can grow better......"
"Son, I really understand this...... Father...... Please give me another chance......" Xie Haowen lowered his head and said sincerely.
"Your Majesty has asked you to deal with the major affairs of the DPRK and China, now, don't be held back because of the love of your children, just do your duty well, if there is anything, the family, you can always make it clear when you look back." Xie Ruqing finally relented.
"Now, the Nanban is menacing, my son and I are quite worried about my father, and my son just intercepted the letter sent to our Kyoto from the Chu State today, what they mean...... They will also come to visit our Dayong, and the people who come to visit our court are...... The son was really worried about his father. ”
"You said you didn't have business just now, but you still talked to me about business in the end." Xie Ruqing quipped.
Xie Haowen was speechless for a while, but he opened his mouth to defend himself, but Xie Ruqing shook his head and said:
"Well, I'll just let you care about me, don't care.
I already knew about this a few days ago, but you don't have to worry, Chu State's trip was not to provoke war, but to confirm one thing, if it provoked war, they would not send that person to envoy. ”
"But my father ...... That person is in the court of Chu State, and he has a lot of energy, and I really don't know what is there to make him turn his back on his mother's words and come to our Dayong......"
"That person is the only bloodline of the princess of Chu in the world, and it is precisely because of this that the son is noble by virtue of his mother, and he holds a million-strong army of Chu State, and his merits are high......
What do you think can make that person travel thousands of miles to the emperor of Chu and come to our Dayong? Xie Ruqing suddenly asked.
"Unless that person is not the only bloodline ......of the princess of Chu State," Xie Haowen lowered his voice and gasped.
"You go back and let the soldiers of the city camp transfer a thousand more Jingwei to surround the inside and outside of the imperial city, this matter is quite important, that bloodline, since we are in Dayong, naturally, don't let the people of Chu take it away easily......"
"My son understands ......"
"Remember to guard your family, for the sake of their own interests, the Wei family is not allowed to abandon the interests of the people's livelihood......"
“……”
The father and son whispered something to the ground, but when it came to the important place, even though there was no one around...... But I still have some precautions, for fear of ...... was known by someone who cares, so he hurriedly stopped the topic and signaled to continue it in the future......
But as the father and son took Gu Ruosu into the house, Xie Haoan, who went and returned for some reason, couldn't help but cover his mouth......
Then, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he ran outside......
Apparently...... He was frightened by this sudden secret news of the world...... Whereas...... And because of that...... He just ran out of his house...... Run to the place where the person in your heart is located...... Seek comfort......
