Chapter 343

The scenery of Xie Mansion is really good.

Whenever Yao Shu sits in this piece of greenery, he always feels as if he is in a park with exquisite layout, surrounded by carefully tended flowers and plants, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Outside the gazebo is a man-made lake. The water flow is drawn from the river outside the capital, passing through the Xie Mansion, and it feels like it is integrated with the entire capital.

Yao Shu and Lin Rong sat in the gazebo, eating snacks and drinking tea, while Ah Si and Sanbao followed the servants to play on the grass beside them. The summer sun was blocked from the shade, which did not affect everyone's mood in the slightest. .

After half an hour, he saw two figures, one big and one small, coming from a distance, they were Xie Qian and A Zhi.

With sharp eyes, Ah Si stood up first and said, "Grandpa Xie and brother are here!"

Sanbao turned his head sensitively, followed Ah Si's line of sight, a smile appeared on Baby Fat's face, and he stretched out his arms in Xie Qian's direction.

The tall man walked unhurriedly, and quickly walked up to Sanbao, picked him up from the ground with one hand, and said to Asi: "Is there dew on the grass? Are the clothes wet?"

The little girl also stood up, obediently said: "The dew has evaporated long ago, and the clothes are not wet."

Xie Qian took Ah Si's fleshy little hand with his other hand, said "um", and led her to the gazebo.

Ah Zhi followed beside him with a serious look, like one of Xie Qian's little followers. From this point of view, there are three points of similarity in the appearance of the two.

Yao Shu smiled and said to Lin Zhi: "Look, the three children behave like little white rabbits in front of their uncle. It seems that there must be such a dignified elder in the family."

Lin Roe glanced at her, as if saying——

Am I not majestic enough?
Yao Shu's twinkling eyes were slightly curved, and he said with a smile: "Isn't it good for us to be loving fathers and mothers?"

While speaking, Xie Qian had already stepped into the gazebo with the three children.

Lin Rong and Yao Shu hurriedly stood up and greeted Xie Qian.

The man nodded lightly, let them sit down, and ordered the servants: "Bring the buckwheat tea."

The servant respectfully responded, and retreated.

Ah Si asked curiously, "Grandpa Xie, what kind of tea is buckwheat tea? Is it bitter?"

Xie Qian had let go of her hand a long time ago, the little girl was sitting beside her mother, with a pair of short legs dangling in the middle of the stone bench, looking cute and lively.

Xie Qian's voice was cold and warm, and he said patiently: "It's for your brother. Tartary buckwheat tea is produced in the southwest, it tastes sweet, and it can improve eyesight and eliminate internal heat."

Maybe it's been hot for the past few days, and Ah Zhi's mouth started to get angry, and sometimes he didn't remember to drink water when he was reading, and soon he couldn't speak.

Xie Qian prepared chrysanthemum tea for him these days, but it was not very effective, so he sent someone to bring some tartary buckwheat tea from outside, which arrived yesterday.

When Ah Si heard that the tea was not bitter, his eyes lit up, and he said coquettishly, "Thank you grandpa, I want to taste it too!"

Xie Qian's eyes flashed a touch of warmth, and he glanced at the maidservant who stood beside him, and the latter went down to prepare.

Seeing this, Yao Shu smiled and said, "Why should uncle spoil her? Just now, I have already drank a large bowl of sour plum soup made by the mansion here, and even shouted to drink hawthorn honey water... Now, I want to taste other people's buckwheat tea. ? Don't stretch your stomach."

The latter sentence was teasing Ah Si, and the little girl just laughed "hee hee" without speaking.

Xie Qian said indifferently: "It's just a pot of tea, I can afford it."

Lin Rong listened to their conversation, with a faint smile on his face.

The husband and wife came here today for nothing important, so they chatted with Xie Qian and talked about Yao's father and Yao's mother's coming to Beijing.

Hearing Xie Qian's concern, Yao Shu said, "It's only been three days, and I just settled down."

The man let out a "hmm" and asked again, "Is everyone at home here?"

Yao Shu nodded and said, "Brother, two sister-in-laws and the children are also here."

Xie Qian took the initiative and said: "Since the two elders have arrived in the capital, I will visit Yao's mansion in the next post."

Yao Shu smiled and said, "It would be better if my uncle sent someone to send a message. It doesn't have to be so formal. My parents have heard about uncle for a long time, and have always wanted to meet you."

Xie Qian nodded, and then asked Lin Rong, "Ah Chao is in office today?"

Although he didn't know why the topic changed so quickly, Lin Rong still nodded his head: "Second brother and I will always have someone watching in the palace, and Xiu Mu also comes in rotation."

Xie Qian signaled the servants around him to take the children to play, and when Ah Zhi and Ah Si took the three treasures out of the pavilion, he pondered:

"It's not peaceful in the womb these days, and you two are doing the right thing."

Speaking of serious matters, Lin Zhi couldn't help but become serious.

He frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "That's exactly what the two of us are thinking about. After this period of time, the situation will become clearer."

The two were talking about the court, Yao Shu didn't know what riddles they were playing, and since it involved sensitive matters, she excused herself to look at the three children and left the pavilion.

Lin Roe's eyes followed Yao Shu to the grass not far away, watching her leaning down to talk to Ah Si tenderly, the lines on her face gradually softened.

Seeing the change in his demeanor, Xie Qian couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Then he went on to talk about the topic just now: "If there is no news from the imperial concubine's palace, your vigilance will not be relaxed for a day."

Lin Rong's mind was brought back to reality, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, uncle. I just don't know if the imperial concubine really died of illness, will the Du family take action."

Xie Qian was playing with the teacup in his hands, and his face was indifferent: "Eu Zhong is not a man of courage, and now his two daughters are also abolished, which cuts off his way of marrying the rich and powerful in the court, let alone sending someone into the palace. "

Lin Rong frowned: "Uncle means, between the Du Mansion and the Ministry of War..."

Xie Qian said: "Even if there is no marriage, the two must be connected."

Du's house has always planned to marry Lu's house, and Lu Hua also took advantage of the situation to propose to marry Du Heng.

It's just that the murder case happened earlier, Du Heng has left Du's house now, and the whole capital knows about it.

As a result, the connection between the household department and the military department has become much stiffer.

Lin Rong took a sip of the hot tea in his hand, began to think about the situation in the court, and then heard Xie Qian say indifferently: "Nowadays, anyone who has a daughter of the right age at home is staring at the general election after the Dragon Boat Festival. Careful arrangement."

Lin Rong understood who the "careful person" Xie Qian was talking about was.

He glanced at Xie Qian and said in a low voice, "Did uncle talk to him?"

Xie Qian shook his head: "The ways are different, and we don't conspire with each other. Now he is no longer the pure and intelligent child he used to be. The son of the royal family always has fangs hidden in his mouth. Smart people only wait for their wings to grow. Reveal slowly."

The person they mentioned was Meng Qing.
