Chapter 1: The first mention of family affairs
Tian Huai's eyes were red, and he forcibly endured the excitement in his heart, and said: "Mother, just now the king said that his son has made a great contribution this time, and he will be rewarded, and even you will be rewarded." ”
"Do I have it too?" Wei's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.
Xi Mama and others hurriedly said hello.
"Madam, what does the old slave say, the prince will definitely not let you down! Look, now the prince has given you a face! What if the one in Xiyuan entered the Praetorian Guard? He can't even compare to a finger of the prince! ”
Hearing the word Xiyuan, Tian Huai's smile faded a little, "What?" Big brother has joined the Praetorian Guard? ”
Wei bowed his head slightly, and rubbed his handkerchief vigorously, "It's not that your father is partial!" What are you saying that you are not in Dragon City, the opportunity cannot be missed, and it took 10,000 taels of silver to win this errand, and I panicked when I talked about it! ”
Ten thousand taels! That's 10,000 taels! is still a public, she doesn't want to, and the Marquis of Xiwu said that she is not kind to the concubine.
Mama Xi immediately put eye medicine in front of Tian Huai, "Lord Shizi, you don't know how difficult it has been for Mrs. over the years!" You are not in Longcheng, Mrs. is not as hard as before, Aunt Tang only needs to blow the pillow wind to Hou Ye, Hou Ye does not dare to give the stars to the moon, 10,000 taels are almost worth a year's expenses in our house, Hou Ye said to take it, and Mrs. is not allowed to say half a word.
Mrs. was seriously ill because of this, but Master Hou only came to see it, and said that Mrs. was not open-minded enough, listen to what these words are! Since ancient times, there is a difference between the concubines, and the concubines should have the appearance of the concubines, these nobles in Longcheng, who is as overstepping the rules as the Hou Ye? ”
Seeing Tian Huai's gloomy face, Wei stopped Mama Xi's broken thoughts in a timely manner, and turned his head to look at his son lovingly, "Mama Xi has a lot of old problems, especially that mouth, it is all about Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain, but it can't be passed, you always have to turn it out and stab me a few times before it stops, don't take it to heart, the entire Xiwu Marquis Mansion is going to be handed over to you, and my mother will definitely not let others take advantage." ”
Tian Huai was moved and guilty, and held Wei's backhand, "Mother, my son resolutely went to the border to fight just to support you, but I didn't expect you to suffer so many grievances." ”
When he said this, Wei's eyes turned red instantly, and tears kept falling like beads with broken threads, as if he wanted to cry all these years of grievances.
The mother and son talked for a while and did not stop until the Marquis of Xiwu returned.
Xiwu Hou entered the lobby, looked at his younger son, who was much more mature and stable, nodded with satisfaction, and sat down, "I heard that the king has rewarded you today?" ”
"Yes!" Tian Huai replied concisely, neither happy nor sad.
The attitude was so cold that it made Xiwu Hou frown.
"I heard that my father made 10,000 taels of silver to let my eldest brother enter the Praetorian Guard?" Tian Huai asked in front of everyone.
Xiwu Hou's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Wei, who lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.
Xiwu Hou restrained the smile on his face, and said thoughtfully: "Father can explain this matter to you, at that time, the king chose the Praetorian Guard, Pingxi Hou Mansion, Dingbei Hou Mansion, and Wu'an Hou Mansion all entered the people, and the four Hou sent no one in our family to the Praetorian Guard, if you are in Dragon City, this place will definitely be given to you, isn't it that you are not there!" There's no one else but your big brother.
Can't wait for our Xiwu Hou to have no one in the Praetorian Guard, and what do others think of our Xiwu Hou Mansion when it is passed out? ”
"Hou Ye really thinks so?" Wei couldn't help but ask.
Xiwu Hou forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and took a deep breath, "Naturally! How can a woman understand a man's thing? ”
Saying that, Xiwu Hou looked at Tian Huai, and said seriously: "You have been in Biansai for six years, you should have gained a lot of knowledge, and you should understand the hard work of being a husband!" No matter what your relationship with your eldest brother is, in the final analysis, the Xiwu Marquis Mansion is both prosperous and lossy, you are the son of the world, and you are also the future head of the Tian family.
If your eldest brother is good, it is the icing on the cake, if it is not good, can you really ignore it? If so, how can you secure the position of the leader of the Tian family? ”
"The father taught him that the son knew."
Xiwu Hou was surprised, he was ready for Tian Huai to quarrel with him, but he didn't expect this kid to play cards unreasonably, he frowned unconsciously, and always felt that his youngest son had become deep and he couldn't see through.
Tian Huai raised his eyebrows and asked indifferently, "What else does my father have to advise?" ”
Xiwu Hou is really something, but Tian Huai's attitude is a little uncertain, and the words he says are a lot weaker, "There is one more thing..... You see that you are not too young, if it weren't for the big war, you would have gotten married, and now it's just right to come back, and you can do the big things for life first. ”
When it came to Tian Huai's marriage, Wei's immediately became interested, "Master Hou has someone chosen?" ”
Xiwu Hou smiled meaningfully, "Yes." ”
Wei stepped forward with a look of hope, "Who's from?" ”
"Gongsun Rong's only baby daughter."
"Gongsun Prajna? How could it be her? Wei was shocked, subconsciously looked at Tian Huai, and saw that Tian Huai's face was so black that he had to fight with the bottom of the pot, and immediately frowned, "Master Hou, don't forget about Gongsun Ming, the Gongsun family impeached their son to death in the court, but now they want him to marry Gongsun Rong's daughter....."
"At this time and that time, what happened to Gongsun Rong's daughter?" Xiwu Hou interrupted Wei's words, "Gongsun Panruo is known as the first beauty in Dragon City, and his family background is talented, which one is not one of the best?" It is more than enough for our son, and if our family marries with the Gongsun family, the civil official faction will definitely not target our Xiwu Hou Mansion, and our son's career will go more smoothly.
No matter how you look at it, it's a good marriage, and Gongsun Rong apologized to me in private, saying that they misunderstood their son at the beginning, and people put their posture so low, do you still want to take Qiao? ”
After saying this, Wei's family was shaken, she looked at Tian Huai, and hesitated: "Ahuai, what do you think?" ”
Tian Huai clenched his fists, released them again, and his voice was cold, "It's not good, father and mother, my son has just come back, and I have no plans to get married for the time being, let's talk about it after a while." ”
"This .....," Wei looked confused.
Xiwu Hou's face was not good, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and got up, "Think about it, there are only eternal interests and no eternal enemies, how much help it will be for marrying a grandson, think about it, I'll go first!" ”
As soon as the Marquis of Xiwu left, Wei immediately persuaded Tian Huai anxiously, "Although your father is still partial to Xiyuan, but there is one thing he is not wrong, the entire court civil officials listen to Gongsun Rong, you are a military general, and you are the apprentice of General Wei, if you don't look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha, no one here will definitely trouble you, if you can marry the daughter of Gongsun Rong, who else in the court will dare to embarrass you!" Why don't you listen to your father this time? ”
"Mother!" Tian Huai's voice was a little louder, and when he saw that Wei was startled, he quickly lowered his eyes again and gathered his thoughts, "My son said, I just came back, and I don't have the idea of getting married for the time being, let's talk about it later." ”
