Mrs. Tai is really rich

The big trees beside the stone wall towered into the sky, dyeing the sky green, and the flowers bloomed and faded accompanied by the cicadas chirping. In the afternoon, Xie Ruqing and Xie Haowen, father and son, were sitting on the stone chairs in the Hefeng Hall and reading books together. At this moment, with the sound of wind and birds singing in their ears, Xie Ruqing, who had been wandering in the sea of ​​books for a long time, was shocked. Father and son Xie Haowen closed their books and watched the shadows move.

At this moment, the father and son were like the most ordinary father and son, sitting under the tree, admiring the scenery, forgetting all official duties and worries, and they could chat for a few words during their free time. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

It was at this time that Dark Green walked up to the two of them and said respectfully:

"The Duke of the State, the Prime Minister, and the Second Young Master Qi came to visit and said they wanted to meet you two."

Xie Ruqing and Xie Haowen both looked as expected. Then they nodded, and Xie Ruqing spoke:

"I knew he would come, but I didn't expect this kid to think things through so quickly. Please lead him to the study. The eldest young master and I will be there in a moment."

(I am the cute dividing line~)

Xie Ruqing and Xie Haowen walked slowly on the corridor to the study. Xie Haowen was half a step closer to Xie Ruqing and said:

"Before, I admired this young man Qi Lan very much, but it was a pity that he was burdened by family affairs and wasted a year or two. Now, he has finally thought about things clearly. From my son's perspective, the future of this child Qi Lan is certain. It’s not bad.”

"This child is already talented and intelligent, but he was too foolish and filial before. Now that he is willing to come, it means that he is ready to sever the friendship between our Xie family and Prince Shouguang's palace. Naturally, we have to help this child more. "

"What my father is saying is that I heard before that Qi Lan, a child who was already old enough to get married and had a fiancée, was robbed of his love by his younger brother. His wife turned into a sister-in-law overnight, which is really disappointing."

"However, in my opinion, this is also a good thing. The Yu family girl is not a good match. If the two of them get married properly, I don't know how many trivial things will happen in the future, and the family will be uneasy. ...It's a big taboo. I wonder if this kid Qi Lan will have a good wife in the future..." Xie Hao said thoughtfully.

Xie Ruqing turned around and looked at Xie Haowen clearly, and then said:

"I know what you are thinking. After all, you are not from our Xie family. Only a closer kiss can make everyone feel at ease."

"You don't need to talk about this matter. I have already known it in my heart. The same is true for the child Qi Lan. He must have made up his mind when he came to the door today."

"My father is wise, and my son is beyond his reach. But, father, there are many girls in our house, and there are a few of them of the right age. I don't know which girl my father prefers. Do you think Qi Lan is the most suitable girl for him to marry?"

"You should have a few candidates in mind, please tell me first." Xie Ruqing asked Xie Hao with a smile.

"Since the father asked, the son also said so. The son believes that although Qi Lan has made up his mind to break away from Prince Shouguang's palace, in the end, in terms of love, Qi Lanliu still belongs to Prince Shouguang. Blood."

"So, if our family wants a girl to marry him, then the girls in our family will never be able to escape the relationship between sister-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the affairs of the back house. Even if they separate houses in the future... they will still have to spend time on festivals and so on. Time comes and goes.”

"If that's the case, the girl we marry must have a noble enough status, be independent enough, and be able to take care of such a big thing."

"What you said is true, but which of the girls of the right age in the house do you think can hold the place?" Xie Ruqing continued to ask.

Xie Haowen hesitated for a moment and then said:

"My son has actually been thinking about it for a long time and feels that there is only one person in the house who can match Qi Lan."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"The eldest daughter of a good family, Yihua."

"Why?" Xie Ruqing suddenly stopped and looked back into Xie Haowen's eyes and asked.

"This is what my son thinks. The girls of the right age in the family are all direct descendants, and they are all children of our Xie family. On the surface, these children are pretty much the same..."

"Just what..."

"It's just that the second brother-in-law treats her own children very harshly. Although they are obviously the legitimate children, they are not proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are also unable to handle the household affairs. Although after being raised by their mother, they are different from before and have improved. There are many, but after all, the Qi family is complex, and it is definitely no match for those individuals."

"But Yihua is different. She is both a newborn child of a good family and a direct descendant. Although her sister-in-law has a bad temper, she comes from a well-known family and is a good teacher in educating children. She also takes care of the household affairs in an orderly manner. I When I look at Yihua on a daily basis, I feel that this elegant look is what a woman in our family should look like."

"Although Yihua is a little younger, it doesn't matter. This child is sensible and just like a little adult. If he trains him carefully, I think he won't be able to bear any grievance even if he really enters the gate of Prince Shouguang's house. ."

Xie Haowen's words were reasonable and reasonable, leaving no room for fault. Xie Ruqing had indeed considered marrying Xie Yihua's child to Qi Lan, but Xie Ruqing still said:

"What you said is very reasonable, but I remember that Yihua should be about the same age as Yihua and the others. Why don't you consider Yihua? Yiyi is the most distinguished among the girls of the right age in our family. , the eldest daughter of the prime minister, the daughter of the prime minister, no one should underestimate her."

When Xie Haowen heard his father mention his little daughter, he quickly said:

"Father, it's not like you don't know. It means that this child has been spoiled by me and Xiao Liu'er since he was a child. He doesn't have any rules, and he has a very big temper. He can't stand any grievance. He is a skinny monkey."

"Besides, this kid Yiyi has not been very smart since he was a child, and he doesn't like to study. He knows nothing about complicated interpersonal relationships and the affairs of the back house. If Yiyi is allowed to marry Qi Lan, come to think of it, this kid Yiyi will Not to mention the peeling of the skin... even our two families are in danger of losing peace..."

"My son is not good at teaching his daughter. He is not as good as his brothers... Please forgive me, father."

After saying that, Xie Haowen still pretended to bow his head to Xie Ruqing and apologize.

Xie Ruqing stopped Xie Haowen who was about to bow his head and confess, and then said:

"You child, you do love your girl very much. In fact, you should be as aware as I am... In fact, both the meaning and the meaning are equally suitable for marrying Qi Lan."

Xie Haowen lowered his head and said nothing.

Xie Ruqing continued to speak:

"It means that although this child is a little more willful and has no scheming, she is better because she refuses to suffer. Those dirty things in Prince Shouguang's house will dare to bring bad luck to her as long as they dare to touch her head. The faces of these people are all on the ground, but it doesn’t matter who you are." "In addition, the relationship between her and Qi Lan and others who grew up together, whether Qi Lan comes from our Xie family or from several families, In the friendship between individuals, everything must be on the side of the child Yi."

"In addition, Qi Lan is a very careful child. After so many years in Shouguang Palace, those things must be very clear. If they get married in the future, I bet that when the time comes to deal with the affairs of the back house, This Qi Lan will definitely participate in it. As long as this is the case, it will definitely be more than enough to compete with those people in the Shouguang Palace."

"Moreover, we originally wanted to help Qi Lan formally embark on an official career as soon as possible, and then live in separate houses. If we marry him and disturb the Shouguang Prince's house, the family will never have peace. Then the Shouguang Prince's house will definitely not be in Qi Lan's house. When Lan asked the branch to live separately, intervene more..."

"You and I both know in our hearts that it's okay to marry one of the two children at will, but you feel sorry for your own child and know that although Qi Lan has a high family background, he will have to live a difficult life if he marries into it, so , you are here strongly recommending Yihua to marry you, without saying a word about your intention."

After Xie Haowen's thoughts were ruthlessly exposed by Xie Ruqing, Xie Haowen stopped beating around the bush and admitted directly:

"What my father said is absolutely true. After all, as a father, my son always has some selfish motives. I can't help but feel sorry for this child. Now, in a few years, she will be old enough to get married. My son just wants to be married in a few years." On top of her marriage, give her more compensation, choose a good family for her who only cares about her, doesn't dare to treat her badly, and has a prosperous and smooth life."

"My son is still saying the same thing. If Qilan's child has the help of our Xie family, as long as he doesn't get sidetracked, he will definitely have a bright future in the future. However, my son is still not willing to marry his daughter to a wife. Go to a complicated family..."

"My son knows that he is not considerate of the family, and I feel sorry for his brother and niece, but... I also ask my father to understand his son's painstaking efforts..."

Xie Ruqing looked at his son and felt a little emotional for a moment, then said:

"After all, this matter is just some discussion between you and me. It's better not to let the children know about it for the time being. If the children know these things now, it will inevitably cause more troubles. Just let nature take its course. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings... "

"Which girl will marry in the end depends on what Qi Lan's child thinks, and also what our girl thinks..."

"What my father said is that if there is any love between Yi Yi and Qi Lan, his son is definitely not the kind of person who beats up mandarin ducks, and he will definitely make them happy, but if not..."

"You are really thinking too much. It's just a matter of things that haven't been revealed yet. Why are you looking so gloomy? Let's go quickly. That child Qi Lan is still waiting for us."

"..."

"..."
-

(I am the cute dividing line~)

Except for them, no other person present knew about the conversation between the Xie family father and son in the corridor. When the father and son walked into the study hand in hand, they saw the beautiful Qi Lan standing in the light of the study. , stood respectfully and waited for them.

"This junior has met the Duke and the Prime Minister."

"..."

"..."
-

(I am the cute dividing line~)

"Qi Lan listened to the words of the Duke and the Prime Minister today, and it was as if he had studied for ten years. This year, Qi Lan has the confidence to take the imperial examination again, and he will win the first prize in the Toad Palace and live up to the expectations of the two of them."

"It's really a good thing that you have such an ambition. Haowen and I also hope that your child will be able to get a gold medal in this imperial examination."

"Yes, Qi Lan would like to thank you both, but Qi Lan has one more unkind request, and I hope that the Duke and the Prime Minister can grant it to me."

"No matter what you say, it doesn't matter. You are my mother's adopted son, and you and I are brothers. As long as we thank the family for what we can do, we will definitely not refuse."

"Qi Lan has been focusing on learning these years and has forgotten to take into account his own lifelong events. There is a saying in the book that 'the so-called night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, the time when the gold medal is named, meeting an old friend from another country, and the rain after a long drought' are the four great blessings in life. , Qi Lan hopes that when he is named on the gold list, he can also experience another great blessing in life, the wedding night."

"Just now, Mr. Xiang, you also said that Hao'an and I are righteous brothers, so I can also be regarded as a member of the Xie family. You, the Duke, are my righteous father, and the Duke's wife is like my righteous mother. The affairs of our children should be handled by My father and mother make the decision, and I hope my adoptive father will fulfill my wishes." Qi Lan said with a deep bow.

"Oh~ Since you have said so, it is not easy for me to refuse, but after all, this is a major event in your life. I still want to ask you, do you have a girl you like in your heart, or do you want What kind of girl are you looking for? Tell me what kind of wife you want in your heart. As your adoptive father, I will definitely find a good wife for you." Xie Ruqing said.

Qi Lan pursed her lips again and again. Finally, after the words she heard in the study this morning flashed through her mind, she immediately spoke without hesitation:

"The younger generations have long admired the Xie family's family tradition. They have long known from Hao'an that the Xie family has always been strict in educating their children and grandchildren. Most of the Xie family's children and grandchildren are filial to the elderly, respect the old and love the young, are close to each other, and follow the 'walk of independence'. If you are partial to popular customs, you should not ignore the resentment. You should not avoid petty resentment in matters of high righteousness, but you should not ignore the resentment."

"Qi Lan has no place to establish himself at this time. If he can get Xie's daughter to be his wife when he is named on the gold medal list in the future, it will be a blessing in Lan's life~ I hope his adopted father and adopted brother will be fulfilled."

"Which girl from my Xie family do you like best?" Xie Haowen asked.

"What Lan admires is the girls taught by the Xie family's family tradition. The girls taught by the Xie family are definitely good. Therefore, Lan, I only ask that when the Xie family is willing to name the Lan Jin list, the legitimate daughter of the Xie family has already been married, and the other , and there is nothing else to ask for.”

"It is a blessing in Lan's life to have the legitimate daughter of the Xie family as his wife..." Qi Lan bowed deeply again and said.

After hearing Qi Lan's words, Xie Ruqing and Xie Haowen looked at each other for a long time. Finally, when Qi Lan almost felt that he was about to be rejected, Xie Ruqing and Xie Haowen nodded invisibly, and then Xie Ruqing He said solemnly:

"Okay, I agree to this as the head of the Xie family."

"You will get what you want, and...you don't have to wait for your name on the gold medal list, this matter can be decided..."

"Thank you, Mr. Duke Yan!" (End of this chapter)
