59. Talk about marriage
Xie Yu lit an agarwood in the hall and said faintly: "How is life in this palace?" Sitting next to him was Nalan Rongque.
"Boring. Nalan Rongque held the book in one hand and said lightly.
"Oh, you really don't give me face. Xie Yu smiled: "Anyway, you don't have a place to go, just stay here with me." ”
"Who said I had nowhere to go. ”
"You've been with me for a while, and you really don't want to see your daughter?" Xie Yu fiddled with the incense burner.
"I don't recognize my father anymore, let her be. Nalan Rongque flipped a page of the book.
"You are freer than me, since I handed over power, I can't leave the palace without the emperor's order, the world only knows that I am high and powerful, in fact, I am nothing, although this palace is my home, but it is also a cage. Xie Yu was not playing with the incense burner, but walked to the door and looked out of the door in a daze.
Nalan Rongque listened to his words, put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Xie Yu's back for a while, and then said, "I agreed." ”
Xie Yu was shocked in his heart, came back to his senses in an instant, turned to Nalan Rongque and said, "What did you say?"
"Marriage, I agreed. The etiquette is in accordance with the Central Plains, and the Mid-Autumn Festival after March is good?"
Xie Yu was overjoyed when he saw that he had agreed to his son's marriage. Xie Yu didn't expect that he had just thought about what to say, but before he could say anything, Nalan Rongque agreed, looking a little excited: "You finally agreed." ”
"I just want to make sure if Yun Xi is a momentary enthusiast. Nalan Rongque said to him softly: "Although I agree, I have three conditions. ”
"I agree to your terms. Xie Yu heard him say the conditions, and before Nalan Rongque could say anything, he agreed. Nalan Rongque was surprised that Xie Yu could agree to various conditions, including unequal conditions, for his son.
"I'm serious. ”
"Say it. ”
"First, Yun Xi can't marry other wives and concubines after marrying the little girl Zhishui. Second, the little girl does not change her surname, and she does not go to the Xie family tree, if they have children, they will return to the Xie family. Thirdly, if you are tired of my little girl one day, please return her to me. If you agree, I'll write a detailed post at once. ”
"Let's do it. Xiao Gao, take the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Xie Yu didn't think much about the conditions, he just knew that this was already Nalan Rongque's biggest concession.
Gao Gonggong didn't say a word, his hands and feet were brisk, and he came with paper and ink.
"But the ugly thing is ahead. I have two things to explain, the little girl is cold and may not be able to have children, do you mind?" Nalan Rongque wrote.
Xie Yu thought for a while before replying, "I don't mind." You just said maybe, but didn't say certainly, not to mention that you are her father, you will stand by and watch this kind of thing?"
"You are royal, I am an ordinary person, we are not in the right household, it is inevitable that there will be jokes and tongues. Nalan Rongque finished writing the detailed note in his hand, put down the pen, and looked at him.
Xie Yu laughed when he heard him say the word "ordinary people", walked to the bookshelf, opened one of the drawers, and took out three items.
Nalan Rongque saw him smiling and glared at him. Xie Yu said: "Don't be humble, don't think that I don't know, the former national teacher is also Nalan surname." ”
"That was all hundreds of years ago. Nalan Rongque didn't want to mention it.
"I've got this dowry ready. ”
"Look at it, it's all out of order. Your dowry ......"
"You can't blame me, the last time I went to a matchmaker, I wasn't blasted out by your uncle. Xie Yu put the three boxes in his hand in front of Nalan Rongque one by one: "I know that you can't look at worldly things, but you will be very happy when you see these three things." ”
"Really?"
Xie Yu opened the first brocade box, and inside were six small pieces of tortoise shell fragments, which were engraved with different shallow and deep characters that looked like seals and non-seals, which were presented to Nalan Rongque's eyes: "Look. ”
When Nalan Rongque saw this seal-like font, his body was slightly stunned, and he suddenly became serious: "Seal divination, where did you get it from?"
The text on this tortoise shell, although it is a seal script, but it is different from the big seal and the small seal, this text is a new font that the ancestor of the Nalan family evolved from the seal text, which is specially used to record the magical secret method, this kind of text is only used in the Nalan family, in order to prevent outsiders from stealing. Almost everyone in the Nalan family knows divination, and there will naturally be this thing in the family.
"I'm telling you later, you can give it a try and help me ......"
Nalan Rongque is very interested in seal divination. He gently took out two pieces, and threw them on the table before Xie Yu finished speaking, Nalan Rongque looked at the hexagram on the table, not only frowned, but then he pinched his hand, and then his brows were released.
Seeing his expression, Xie Yu just wanted to ask, when he heard Nalan Rongque say: "I know what you want me to be, their birthdays coincide." ”
Xie Yu didn't buy his words, and chased after him: "That's it, you're fooling me again, you can know at a glance when you count your birthday, tell me quickly." ”
Seeing Xie Yu pleading with him, Nalan Rongque smiled lightly: "Heaven can't be said. ”
Xie Yu glanced at him and muttered, "You are like a god." ”
"In the future they will have a son. Well, the rest can't be said. Nalan Rongque stopped teasing him, but only said half of this.
"Really?" Xie Yu couldn't help but be happy when he heard that he would become a grandfather in the future: "Then the ugly words you mentioned earlier are not true." ”
Nalan Rongque put away the tortoiseshell fragment, which played a crucial role in what he was going to do in the future. Then Xie Yu took out the second brocade box, which contained two ordinary cowhide scrolls and a pill.
"I've only seen a copy of the Nine Cranes, and this one has been lost for hundreds of years. Nalan Rongque was surprised, and he thought in his heart how Xie Yu got it.
"Don't worry, I know that these two kraft scrolls record your family's refining formula, because I can't read your family's text, only the first pill at the beginning of this chapter is written in a big seal, so I configured a Ning Zhi Pill according to the formula. ”
"The beginning is all basic health elixirs, and for ordinary martial arts practitioners, the first one in this first article can achieve the effect. This is to prevent outsiders from learning the recipe and give some benefits to make people stop. There should also be a warning written after the recipe of Ning Zhi pills. Nalan Rongque picked up this elixir, which was only the size of a pearl, dark red in color, and exuded a faint smell of Chinese medicine. It looks no different from other pills, but in the eyes of Nalan Rongque, it is very important. He pinched off half of it with his fingernails, the inside was the same color as the outside, and the smell of medicine was heavier than just now, so he put it in his mouth and chewed it gently.
"In order to find all the medicinal materials, I didn't spend a lot of effort, but I didn't expect to refine such a small pill. I still want to...... You actually ......" Xie Yu saw Nalan Rongque take half of it by himself, and he was speechless for a while.
"Of course I want to see if it's genuine, it tastes good. Nalan Rongque put away the other half of the Ning Zhi Pill, picked up the calfskin scroll and looked at it: "This third piece is probably also a treasure lost by my family in the early years, right? ”
"Am I excessive, or is it that your family doesn't keep it properly?" Xie Yu countered him: "You will break my heart." This third thing is said to be the supreme treasure of the Nalan family, and the loss of this treasure has led to the scarcity of family members. ”
Nalan Rongque heard the words "supreme", suddenly his heart was shocked, before Xie Yu opened the brocade box of the third treasure, he waved his hand, and the lid of the brocade box immediately popped open, only to see that there were seven transparent jade beads placed in this rectangular brocade box, the beads in the middle were the size of pigeon eggs, and the left and right were three smaller, the material of the beads did not know what it was, in Xie Yu's opinion, it looked like jade, but it felt like some kind of ore, it didn't look expensive, he didn't know why, so he couldn't understand why this was Nalan's" The Stone of Life", and asked Nalan Rongque, "What is the mystery here?"
