The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

Hearing Marquis Baoning jokingly call Xie Ling dumb, Jiang frowned: "What is the old man talking about about the old Huangli? Now this young master of the Xie family is both civil and military, and he is a rare figure among the younger generation in the capital. Look down, and you will suffer in the hands of the Xie family in the future."

Marquis Baoning smiled lightly and said: "In the past, when His Majesty was not enthroned, our merchants were worth a fortune, and the Xie family was a military man. They can be said to be his right-hand men. But now that His Majesty is enthroned, our family is stronger than theirs."

Shang Chi suddenly interjected: "Don't tell me why, how about we test my sister?"

Shang Chanchan glanced at her elder brother, and had a new understanding of his status: poor second brother Shang Jun would be shut up if he opened his mouth, and third brother Shang Ji was just what his father said.However, Shang Chi was able to interrupt his father's words and give suggestions easily, which shows how much Baoninghou Shangduo valued this eldest son.

Sure enough, Shang Duo also nodded: "Yes, Chanchan, tell me."

Shang Chanchan thought for a while: "Father, is it because we are the mother's family of the current emperor, but the Xie family is the mother's family of the current eldest prince?"

Marquis of Baoning nodded, Shang Chi clapped his hands and said, "Sister is really smart, she can almost match the five-year-old me."

Shang Chanchan: ...Brother, do you feel too good about yourself, I am now a 20-year-old soul who has read conspiracy novels, okay?

But later on, Shang Chanchan gradually realized that this elder brother was not conceited, but a real Huiruo ghost, thinking about the world and people's hearts almost to the point of horror.

Of course, now Shang Chi can only get a supercilious look from his sister.

Bao Ninghou said with a smile: "That's right. Before His Majesty ascended the throne, the two families and His Majesty were of the same mind - needless to say, our family, but the Xie family is impossible to have a future if His Majesty does not ascend the throne as the eldest prince, so everyone is united. used. But now it’s different.”

Shang Chi nodded and said: "Since my younger sister will often go to the harem in the future, it is better to know these things. Although Your Majesty respects Empress Xie and values ​​​​the eldest son, the most favored concubine is the one who can't stand the noble concubine, and the concubine also gave birth to the second prince. It is not easy for the concubine Xian to give birth to the third prince. Since that is the case, the Xie family naturally wants to protect the first prince."

Shang Chanchan understood: For an emperor, what I give you is yours, and if I don't give it to you, you are not allowed to grab it.

On one side is the eldest son of his concubine, and on the other is the second son of his beloved concubine, he may not have wavered in his heart.What's more, even a little girl like Shang Chanchan has heard that the Second Prince is quite intelligent and has a good reputation.

Xie's family is the queen's mother's family, so now it is separated from the emperor's house, so naturally it is not as close as his own mother's family and uncle.

So even though Xie Ling was made a joke by Shang Chanchan, the Xie family still asked him to come to the door first to express their gratitude for what happened last time.

It can be seen that the Xie family intends to make friends with the merchants.

"Then Daddy, should we stay away from Xie's family?"

Marquis Baoning laughed and said: "It's not necessary now, in my opinion, His Majesty's heart to establish a heir is still on the eldest prince, and the noble concubine's every possible way of making publicity cannot be counterproductive. General Xie had contacts with me in the past, and now because the empress seals Cheng'en Gong's mansion, We don't need to distance ourselves too much, but His Majesty will think we are arrogant."

Shang Chi said with a smile: "Today my father went to the imperial court to file a complaint about my sister, and it happened that the Supreme Emperor was there, and he also said that he would call Xie Ling and his sister to him in the future, so as to reproduce the misidentification of my uncle that day. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the royal family not judging relatives by seniority, Xie Ling would still be considered the younger sister's nephew."

Xie Ling is the nephew of Empress Xie, but Shang Chanchan is the current cousin.It's just about the royal family, and the seniority has always been messed up-the concubine in the harem and the aunts, nephews and relatives of the inferior generation.

Shang Chanchan: ... Isn't the old man's retirement life too idle, can't find more meaningful things to do!

While the family in Baoninghou Mansion were talking, Xie Ling had already arrived at home.

He has always been a dignified person, the first thing he does when he returns home is naturally to visit his parents in the main hall.

General Xie looks quite similar to him, but his figure is extraordinarily burly, his face is thicker and bolder, and his voice is even louder and bolder.

Mrs. Cheng'en's wife, Mrs. Hu, has a small oval face, with picturesque eyebrows, and she has the graceful attitude of a beauty from a water village.

The general said: "Did you see Marquis Baoning this time? Have you wiped this matter away?"

Mrs. Hu asked without waiting for her son to speak: "Why have you been here for so long? Can't you eat lunch and dinner? I heard that the Baoninghou Mansion is a banquet given by the Queen Mother today. Is there a table for you alone? By the way, listen He said that his three elder brothers are all very good, you are an only child, and you only have three concubine younger sisters, you need to meet some friends..." Mrs. Hu didn't wait for her son to answer, and asked all the way on her own, and There is no way at all, and it is where it comes to mind.

Xie Ling was used to listening to his mother's words, so he just let himself go blankly. After a cup of tea, his mother said that was enough, then he opened his mouth and replied "Yeah."

Hu: ...

General Xie coughed: "How did I hear that Marquis Baoning went to sue His Majesty today, and Nan'an Palace even sent someone to our house to inquire about this matter, saying that you testified for Miss Baoninghou, and now Miss Zhou's family only said that you wronged her and wanted to hang yourself."

Xie Ling still said one word: "Yes."

General Xie: ...

Hu made persistent efforts: "So what's going on? But the Nan'an Palace is really not particular. I've seen her girls before, and they all look aggressive, so uneducated.

His family and Jinling Wang's family are notorious for not teaching their daughters to read and write, and Miss Gonghou's ignorance of big characters is considered an advantage.Alas, unfortunately I didn't go there today, otherwise I would have seen it with my own eyes. "

The eldest house of this generation of Duke Cheng'en's mansion did not have any daughters born in the first place, and the second and third houses were guarded far away in the border areas, so Hu's family could not receive the post today.

In fact, if it wasn't for Daiyu, and if Xichun was a direct descendant, the Rongguo Mansion would not have received the invitation.

Xie Ling said, "Sister Shang is right."

Mrs. Hu said, "That's right, how can my son wrong someone? He has always said that, master, you have to send someone to the Nan'an Palace to say something. Why don't you dare to go directly to the business, but come around to find us and see us?" The Xie family can't be bullied!"

Xie Ling recalled what happened today.

What he said was that Shang Chanchan was right, not that he did not perjure himself.

He saw it from the beginning to the end, Shang Chanchan could only say that she was unforgiving and vengeful, but it was indeed not her who caused the trouble.

And her delicate girl who looks like a porcelain doll is willing to stand out for her friends, which makes Xie Yuce look at her with admiration.

Others may think that Shang Chanchan is too domineering and vicious, but Xie Ling doesn't think so.

He himself has a decisive temperament, but he is not good at talking, so he never argues with others, just waits quietly, and hits people directly when the time comes.

And Shang Chanchan... He suddenly wanted to laugh, she was a little girl in the Marquis's mansion, how could she know those harsh words, she was cute.

Mrs. Hu still wanted to drag her son to explain in detail, but Xie Ling resigned directly, and she left without any regard for her mother's expectant gaze behind her.

Hu put down the melon seeds in his hand, and complained disappointedly: "Look, look, one sentence seems to kill him. How did our husband and wife give birth to such a son? I think back when he was a child..."

General Xie wanted to run away. Madam had talked about this matter countless times, and everyone in the capital knew that his ears were getting callused!

Two years after Xie Ling was born, he has never spoken a word. If you call his name, he will look back at you, but he just doesn't speak, and he seldom even hums.

So everyone in the capital knew that the eldest son of General Xie was dumb.

For this reason, Mrs. Hu did not know how many tears shed in secret, and she stayed in front of her son every day and kept talking, hoping that he could learn.

It wasn't until Xie Ling was two and a half years old that Hu accepted his fate in despair, and cried to General Xie, "My lord, I'm sorry for your Xie family, but the eldest son was born dumb."

At this time, Xie Ling spoke with a straight voice: "I'm not dumb."

Hu wailed loudly.

So Baoning Hou Shangduo said that Xie Ling can be regarded as a mute, this is the allusion.

Shang Chanchan heard this story in front of her father at this time, but after thinking about it, she didn't feel that Xie Ling said very little, but this matter had nothing to do with her, so she skipped this topic and turned to the main topic.

"Daddy, Sister Lin is so pitiful. It is said that even the servants in the Rongguo Mansion dare to show her face! Why can't Uncle Lin go back to Beijing to protect her?"

Shang Duo shook his head: "Lin Ruhai is too strong a literati. In fact, we come from the same department, but your father and I are the number one scholar, and he is Tanhualang."

Shang Chanchan sent an awesome dog-legged emoji at the right time.

Sure enough, Marquis Bao Ning became happy, and continued: "In terms of talent, he is very talented, but his character is too arrogant, he can only be a feudal official, not a close minister of the emperor. He has made good achievements in patrolling salt and censorship these years, but He himself was handpicked by the Supreme Emperor, and now that His Majesty is enthroned, he has not flattered and greeted him, and His Majesty is afraid that he will not be very close to him."

Shang Chanchan was very nervous: If this continues, Mr. Lin will die of illness in Jiangnan.

Jiang Shi sighed and said: "I'm not someone who has never seen the world, but the women I've seen have never been more talented and beautiful than his daughter. It's rare to be a perfect one. But I see that the body is getting weaker and weaker." , and his demeanor is also very sad, it is always difficult to think of sending someone under the fence."

Shang Duo thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Lin Ruhai has always been arrogant and arrogant, now I want to write a letter to tell you about today's events, and then ask him, for the sake of his daughter, he is willing to let go of his dignity and go back to Beijing Fight for it! Hey, His Majesty intends to let me take charge of the household department, if he can return to Beijing, I will have many capable helpers."

Shang Chanchan's eyes lit up: "Father, I want to write about the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion!"

At this time, Lin Ruhai, who was far away in Gusu, only felt a chill on his back, so he got up and took a cloak, and then looked at the moon outside the window: "The autumn wind is picking up, I don't know if Yu'er's cough is getting worse. Forget it, my mother-in-law loves Min'er so much, Since I won’t treat Yu’er badly, it’s much better than following my father.”

After speaking, he coughed lightly twice.
