Chapter 106

"My little Xu'er has been raised by my parents since she was a child." Xie Yu felt a little helpless, whether you really couldn't marry a daughter-in-law or something, then let go of Yaya and missed Xiao Xu'er again. "Father and mother are noble in nature, Xiao Xu'er got their true biography, her temperament is indifferent, and she doesn't care about fame and fortune." She doesn't take it to heart whether the princess is not a princess.

"Xiao Xu'er, that's a good name." The emperor smiled, and before he saw anyone, he felt three points satisfied in his heart, "It's better if your father raised him personally." Back then, An Zan insisted on resigning, but the emperor persuaded him to stay. Again, I really can't keep it.There is nothing to say about An Zan's character and virtue.

"My little Xu'er is only 11 years old this year." Xie Yu reasoned tactfully, "The child is still young and has not yet been determined." It is really hard to tell if you and your son have similar temperaments or not.Just wait, don't worry.

"My little ten is not very old this year, he is 13 years old." The emperor refused to give in this time.Xiaojiu is not good enough for Ah Yi, so I let go; Xiaobudian has been in love with Zhang Yi for a long time, so I let go too; your little Xu'er is still young, that is to say, he is not engaged?Coincidentally, Xiao Shi is also single.

"Miss An, the more I think about this marriage, the more suitable it is." On the pale and tired face of the emperor, there was a rare smile of comfort, "My father has resigned from office and only raised his children at home. Brothers and brothers are all successful. But she refuses to become an official. Such a family background is the most suitable for a princess." Her natal family has no power, and she is not afraid of the monopoly of her relatives.

The emperor laughed happily, and Xie Yu wanted to say something, but he stopped him with his hand, "Miss An, Xiao Shi's studies are quite a headache, and your father is idle at home, why don't you accept a student? Xiao Shi is kind and simple. , and your father must be a master and apprentice." Xiao Shi, if you often go to An's family to attend classes, but you still can't let An's family rest assured to marry a daughter, then there is nothing wrong.

Xieyu can't laugh or cry.This emperor does not use power to overwhelm others, but actually wants the tenth prince to worship An Zan as his teacher, and have a long-term relationship with Xiao Xu'er, which is really pitiful for the parents of the world.No wonder, it is really not easy to marry a proper daughter-in-law.Ah Chen and A Chi waited until they were in their 20s to meet their sweetheart. Ah Xie fell in love with him when he was a little over one year old, and until this year, the little one has not grown up yet.

"Miss An, Xiao Xu'er looks just like you..." The emperor realized that his words were inappropriate and quickly changed his words, "How similar is it to Ah Ni?" Ah Ni looks like you, Xiao Xu What about son?

Xie Yu said lightly: "Xiao Xu'er and Ah Yi are cousins ​​who are five or six points alike." Xiao Xu'er looks like her grandmother, but she doesn't have the same temperament.Tan Ying has a cold personality, while Xiao Xu'er is lively and cute, bright and charming.

The emperor was going to Jingyang Palace, but when he heard this, he stopped and said with a smile: "That's it, don't look at it. Miss An, Xiao Shiming will go to Dangyang Road to pay homage to his teacher in the future." Whether he can kidnap his wife or not, let's not talk about it. There is no disadvantage in learning the principles of life from An Zan.

Jieyu has nothing to say.Regardless of the emperor's intentions, what he said was to ask An Zan to accept a student, which was really hard to refuse.Anyway, Xiao Xu'er is only 11 years old, and the tenth prince is not very old, so let's take a look.If Xiao Xu'er doesn't like it, he will have to help her in the future.

The emperor has always been diligent in his administration and took care of everything.But this day, he was lazy and didn't deal with government affairs much during the day, so he ordered Liao King to review the memorial on his behalf.Fortunately, in the evening, he summoned the Tenth Prince happily and asked him, "Are you happy today?"The garden is full of delicate and beautiful young girls, Xiao Shi, have you feasted your eyes?

"Unhappy." The tenth prince with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a simple and honest face replied angrily, "Father, that girl An Xiaoxu is so unreasonable, I'm about to be pissed off by her!" But she was reprimanded all the time, making her face ashamed.

The emperor asked about the cause and effect in detail, and a smile rippled in his heart, "Then, what does Xiao Shi plan to do?" the emperor asked leisurely.My little ten is an honest child, and he was annoyed by An Xiaoxu, so it's okay.

The tenth prince frowned and thought about it for a long time, and then became ruthless, "I can't let her be unreasonable, I have to educate her well! If it doesn't work for a day, it's just a month; if it's not enough for a month, it's a year; if it's not enough for a year, it's a lifetime." !” It’s not okay to look so good-looking but unreasonable.

Silly son!The emperor laughed loudly, Xiao Shi, it seems that you are going to spend your whole life with An Xiaoxu.Son, you have to be good at studying and working hard. If not, it is uncertain whether you educate her or she educates you.The girls in An's family are not blindly gentle and virtuous, submissive.

The Xie family also laughed.Fleeting Years didn't even blink, and gave Mrs. Xie the Cici of Going Home and the Picture of Shuangsong Pingyuan, and the emerald the size of a pigeon egg, and the soft and beautiful Dongzhu to Mrs. Xie. None left.

Fourth Master Xie's expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see anything.Tang Nian smiled lightly, "Xiaoqi, you look at her with admiration." There are times when my sister is not greedy for money?My brother couldn't believe it.Fleeting Nian glanced at his father and brother, "I am filial to my grandparents!" No one could say anything, only praise me.

In fact, it would be best to give the old lady Xie and the fourth master Xie Xie Ci and Shuangsong Pingyuan pictures separately, but in this way, it is not easy to send the emerald and Dongzhu to the old lady alone.If you want to present a precious item to the fourth wife, Fleeting Nian is really reluctant and reluctant.

Everyone praised Fleeting Years for being filial and sensible, "The old lady, the old lady didn't love you for nothing!" The old lady Xie couldn't put it down with books and paintings, "You can't ask for it if you meet it, and you can't ask for it if you meet it." nowhere to buy.The old lady Xie smiled and put her arms around Fleeting Years, and told her quietly, "Good boy, grandma will save it for you, and you will get two points." This is a good thing, and it will still be my little seven's from now on.

Rao is like Fleeting Years, so she can't help but blush, "Grandmother, Xiao Qi really wants to honor you." The gift has already been sent out, how can it be changed into a deposit?D.Grandma, this is a matter of principle, I really can't accept it.

Xie old lady smiled Mimi.Dear granddaughter, it would be great if you have this kind of filial piety. Grandma's family is rich, so who cares about money?Love is priceless.Grandma still has two boxes of these jewels, which is not uncommon.

Old Master Xie smiled all over his face, "Xiao Qi, even if my grandfather wants to exchange these two pieces of calligraphy and paintings with two boxes of antiques, he won't be able to get them." use.

Fleeting Nian had a flattering smile on his face, "Grandfather, you have always distinguished rewards and punishments. Xiao Qi is so well-behaved. Grandfather, can I reduce my homework?" Don't praise me, let's get something affordable.Calligraphy homework and painting homework are inevitable, but it is also good to lose some beards.

Jinnian stood beside the fourth wife, gently pulling the skirt of the fourth wife, the mother and daughter understood each other with smiles on their faces.Xiao Qi is lucky to have a sister-in-law like Princess Hanshan, so His Majesty the Emperor loves the house and treats her differently.But a concubine is a concubine, and Xiao Qi took this opportunity to beg the old man to reduce his homework.The wife does not appear on the stage, she is simply a loser.

Old Master Xie stroked his white beard slowly, before he had time to speak.Fourth Master Xie said lightly, "I will take care of the homework of the three girls from now on." The old man is so easy to talk to, now if it were me, no one would be lazy.

Rui Nian looked mischievously at Fleeting Years, his eyes were clearly saying, "Look, I have recruited my fourth uncle." The old man saw how relaxed the homework was, and if there was something wrong, the soft-spoken begging passed.The fourth uncle was different, he had poisonous eyes and a cruel heart, and if he was negligent, he would be circled and ordered to do it again.

"Farewell, my lord father." Fleeting Nian ran over with a flattering face, "You are busy with business, so I won't bother you with Xiaoqi's homework. My lord father, my homework will not be reduced, not reduced." Let's do business as usual, okay?

Fourth Master Xie grabbed her little hand and said slowly, "Xiao Wu is honest, he won't be lazy. Xiao Liu works hard and doesn't need to be urged for homework. Only your homework, you must bother me." You are the one who has been arrested.

Amidst the roar of laughter, Liu Nian looked pitiful with a mournful face.On the one hand, Jin Nian was praised by Fourth Master Xie, and on the other hand, seeing the unlucky life of Fleeting Nian, he felt happy, "It's what you deserve, you won't lose money by stealing chickens!" But seeing Tang Nian walking over slowly, pulling Fleeting Nian to coax him softly, Jin Nian There was a burst of pain in my heart.This outstanding concubine elder brother wants to marry Princess Hanshan!Sixth brother, you are so talented, why do you want to marry a princess? What's so good about a princess.

In the study room of King Liao's mansion, King Liao sat alone, thinking hard about what A Ni said when they met in the daytime, "...the little one is so nonsense, and he took his father's words seriously, and sat down and talked..."

"Your Majesty, whoever resembles you the most is the one who is just like you, diligent like you, loving the people like you, and caring about the people like you..." King Liao's heart was pounding.The father rewarded the little boy generously. From this point of view, the little boy's words are actually very interesting.

"Ayi, I am alone in your love." Liao Wang thought for a long time, then slowly stood up, "Does father want a crown prince like him? Xiao Jiu is not like my father." What my father wants to love is the common people, and Xiao Jiu wants The nobles of love.His father restrained himself repeatedly, but Xiao Jiu believed that the world belonged to him, and everyone in the world should be driven by him.

The next day, knowing that the emperor was going to send the ten princes to Dangyang Road to An's house to be an apprentice, the Liao king said with emotion: "Lao An was in Shaanxi to clean up the land and remake it into a fish scale album. Shaanxi collected [-]% more. Tax money! The common people have no burden. For a man like An Lao who has a lot of obstacles in his chest, it is a blessing for Xiao Shi to be able to worship him as a teacher."

The tenth prince muttered: "Brother, I don't understand this. I only know that his granddaughter is very fierce." It must be difficult for Mr. An to raise such a fierce granddaughter.He is an old man, so he must have some ink in his belly.My father wants me to learn from him, so I will learn from him.

The emperor looked at the youngest son with a smile, and ordered the palace servants to serve him and went to Dangyang Road.Looking back at King Liao, the emperor's eyes seemed to be softer than before, "Today's memorial, I leave it to Ade." The emperor said gently.One day, those who have to decentralize power, I really can't afford to work hard with my own bones.

After that, the king of Liao often reviewed the memorials for the emperor.Inevitably, some ministers wrote letters of remonstrance, with fierce words, as if the Liao king did not become a vassal and influence the government, and the Celestial Dynasty would perish.The emperor has a very good temper recently, and he didn't use the imperial staff or humiliation. Instead, he told them to ask patiently, "For example, when the first emperor, the government was controlled by the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, and the eunuch who took the palm of the hand. Are you satisfied?" The officer kowtowed again and again, sweating profusely.

In the past emperors of this dynasty, quite a few were lazy and ignored the government affairs.The emperor lived in the deep palace, and he didn't read the memorials at all, but the rule of the empire would not be shaken.why?There is a cabinet in the outer court, and a supervisor in the inner court.

For every important state affairs, the cabinet elders first draw up handling opinions and write them in blue pen. This is called "ticket drafting".After the ticket is drafted, please ask the emperor for instructions, and the emperor uses a red pen for instructions, which is called "approval of red".If the emperor is lazy in political affairs, the power to "approve red" will fall into the hands of eunuchs.

Now the King of Liao has "approved red" on behalf of you and you are not satisfied, so what, change the eunuch?The emperor looked at the speaker in front of him coldly, disgusted in his heart.These officials are very boring when they are boring. I think back then, when I came to the throne, I would be "advised" by them when I occasionally had banquets or listened to operas.Who doesn't have banquets and theaters? It's really wrong to treat the emperor as a person.

The more gentle the emperor was, the more disturbed the officials were.Today's sage is not a pure and kind person, how many ministers have been killed by sticks!The Jinyiwei soldiers with bright armor stood beside the emperor, which shocked the officials.You know, among Jin Yiwei's many responsibilities, one of them is to hold the court staff.

After all, there are many people who are afraid of death, so the officials silenced.Within a few days, Dao Xie, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, moved to the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and also took charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and entered the Hall of Martial Arts.The speech officials really wanted to show up, "Uncle Yibin, you should avoid suspicion" "The responsibility is too heavy, the promotion is too fast, and I am afraid that people will not accept it."But think about the Jinyiwei with bright armor, let's forget it.Dao Xie is an upright person with an excellent official reputation and sufficient qualifications. If the emperor wants him to join the cabinet, then he should join the cabinet.

The Xie family has a cabinet minister!The Xie Mansion on Dengshikou Street was crowded with people all of a sudden.Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie were full of enthusiasm, but they didn't throw a big banquet. "You just entered the cabinet. It's better to be restrained." Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie agreed, "My parents are very worried, as they should be." It's not the recent outbreak Why are people so overjoyed.

The fourth wife said congratulations with a smile on her face.In fact, she felt that the fourth house was not worth it, and felt that the fourth house was only able to join the cabinet because the fourth house married the daughter-in-law of a princess.But this is really hard to say. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor is playing favoritism?Who dares to say that.

Mu Shi and Cui Shi are both radiant.Although my father-in-law has not been awarded a Jinshi for the time being, but my father-in-law has entered the cabinet and has a good future.Song Nian and He Nian have such a Lao Tzu, do you still have to worry about it in the future?

Liu Nian congratulated Rui Nian with a smile, "Fifth Sister, your worth has doubled, and you are the daughter of Mr. Ge." Rui Nian rolled his eyes and nodded seriously, "Xiaoqi is right, I also feel that my worth has doubled." Although she is a concubine, she is also the concubine of elder Ge.

Fleeting Nian continued to joke, "In the future, you can grab a handful to pick and choose." The little girl Ruinian is already of age, and the eldest wife is rushing to propose marriage to her.Rui Nian thought about it carefully, then nodded seriously, "Xiao Qi, what you said today is all right." It's rare that you didn't talk nonsense.

In June, the Xie family invited Princess Shouchun as a matchmaker, and released Xiao Ding in Nanning Houfu. "Why is the Marquis of Nanning still in the capital?" Jinnian quietly asked the fourth wife, "Shouldn't he go back to Liaodong?"

"His Majesty the Emperor ordered the Marquis of Nanning to stay in the capital to handle the marriage of Princess Hanshan." The fourth wife was very troubled when she mentioned this noble family, "The eldest and second sons of the Marquis of Nanning are in Liaodong. There is no war in Liaodong now, and they are enough to guard It's over." Although Shen Chen and Yue Chi are young, they have experienced many battles.

Jinnian let out an "oh", feeling very uncomfortable.She can also be regarded as a pampered daughter of a famous family, but she can't compare with Princess Hanshan's love.Not only can she call the wind and rain in the Nanning Marquis Mansion, but no one dares to underestimate her in the imperial palace.

When the autumn wind started to rise in September, the Xie family chose an auspicious day and solemnly went to Nanning Marquis Mansion to give the dowry.Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie both have a lot of private houses. In addition to scented tea, fruits, reunion cakes, sheep wine, dry goods from the north and the south, and fur clothing materials, there are also gold and silver, jade, pearls, gems, precious ornaments, and antiques. Playthings, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, etc., are very decent and beautiful to carry out.

Tang Nian's betrothal gift is more generous than Song Nian, Crane Nian, and Yan Nian. "You are not allowed to keep dirty things." Mrs. Xie specially called the eldest wife and fourth wife to explain, "Tang'er's marriage was mentioned by the Holy Majesty himself, so it is different from ordinary marriages."

The eldest wife is transparent, no matter what she thinks in her heart, her face is calm, "It should be. Our Xie family has an extra daughter-in-law of the daughter of the daughter of the princess. How honorable it is to be able to be in-laws with the Holy Majesty."

The fourth wife felt bitter in her heart, and also bitter in her mouth, and said with a smile: "The princess's dowry is so generous, we must have a dowry gift. It must be like this." How embarrassing is the feeling of being a aunt.But there is no other way, the identity of Princess Hanshan is there and cannot be ignored.

The wedding date is set for the first day of November.By that day, the Xie family's new residence had been laid, the bride's dowry was ready, and the Marquis of Nanning had also made a filial piety for Mrs. Tai, for a period of one year.

Entering October, preparations for the wedding are in full swing.Since the beginning of winter, the emperor's health has become worse and worse. Chu Yizheng from the imperial hospital has not been home for more than half a month, and has been serving in the palace.
