I was a salted fish in ancient times

Xiao Shan's mind was not focused on these power struggles, and the reason why he talked so much with Xie Zhui in detail was only because of the grievance he mentioned.Now that he has spoken out his heart, he doesn't want to continue to bother about these things.

In life, the most important thing is to feel comfortable.

Xiao Shan looked at Xie Zhui who didn't know what he was thinking there, he waved his hand at this man and said with a smile: "I was called into the palace so early in the morning, are you not sleepy? There are no elders in our house, you and I The biggest one, no one cares, or you can sleep with me in the cage."

Xie Zhui raised his eyes and staggered his eyes and said: "I'm not sleepy, if the lord is sleepy, just sleep. I'll wake the lord up again when it's time for lunch."

Xiao Shan said: "Then what are you doing?"

Xie Zhui: "...the view of the back garden is pretty good, I'll go and have a look around." It's obviously an excuse, he just thinks it's broad daylight, so it's nothing for him and Xiao Shan to lie down and sleep back in the cage.

Xiao Shan is a hedonist, he does not move when he can, never sits when he can lie down, never stands when he can sit.

Xie Zhui had concerns and didn't want to do this, and he couldn't force him.Everyone has their own way of life, Xie Zhui never asked him for anything, and he naturally would not ask Xie Zhui to be like him.

To get along with each other, what we need is mutual tolerance and mutual understanding.In this regard, he thinks he can still set a good example.

So he said: "Alright then, I'll sleep for a while and call me when I'm eating."

After Xie Zhui left, Xiao Shan lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Shan, who had always slept soundly, suddenly opened his eyes again.Looking at the beams above his head, he knew for the first time what it was like to feel sleepy but unable to fall asleep.

He counted sheep expressionlessly in his heart to hypnotize himself. If he counted too many sheep and made a mistake in the middle, he would have to start counting again.

So the sheep counted more and more, but the people became more sober.

In the end, Xiao Shan felt that this method of making people sleep was really not suitable for him, so he gave up.

After giving up sleeping, Xiao Shan couldn't help but see Xie Zhui's image in his mind.

He didn't expect Xie Zhui to ask him that kind of question today, it seemed like it was the first time in so many years that someone asked him if he was wronged.

He doesn't feel wronged, but it doesn't mean he doesn't like people who care about him.Xie Zhui was the first person who cared about his mood. To be honest, he was really uncomfortable and even felt a little embarrassed.

Thinking of these things, Xiao Shan buried his head in the quilt, but various feelings floated in his heart.

***

Xie Zhui walked around the back garden a few times.

He is not a person who appreciates the scenery. In his eyes, the prosperity of the capital is no different from the desolation of the border.

He just didn't know what to do, he was thinking about whether what he said to Xiao Shan just now had crossed the line.Although Xiao Shan finally explained to him, he didn't know if he stabbed Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan is the real victim of these things.

In fact, he didn't like to express his thoughts, but when Xiao Shan came out of the palace, he had that indifferent smile on his face again, as if what Lan Fei did or said had nothing to do with him.

Or maybe Lan Fei is his mother, so he can't force anything.When this idea came to his mind, his heart suddenly seemed to be stabbed back and forth by several thorns.

Not very painful, but very uncomfortable.

Xie Zhui is not a person who likes to be entangled in denials, otherwise he would not be able to become a vigorous general, nor would he be able to suppress the group of northern soldiers.

For the first time in his life, he struggled with Xiao Shan's mood, wondering if he was going too far.

When I found Xie Zhui in Ji'an and said that it was time for lunch, he suddenly realized that it had come to this point in time.Thinking of what he said about calling Xiao Shan to eat, Xie Zhui put away all his thoughts and prepared to wake him up first.

As for the others, if Xiao Shan really felt that he had crossed the line, he would definitely show it.

Xie Zhui thought that Xiao Shan must be asleep, because this person always keeps his word, and he can't fall asleep when he says he wants to sleep.Unexpectedly, there was an accident this time, when he gently opened the door, he saw Xiao Shan was looking at the beam with his eyes open.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Shan sat up quickly, and when he saw Xie Zhui, he blinked and did not speak.

Xie Zhui was taken aback by his reaction, then he lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "It's time for lunch."

"Oh." Xiao Shan scratched his hair and said in surprise, "It's all here."

Xie Zhui responded.

Xiao Shan hurriedly got up from the bed, washed up and had lunch with Xie Zhui.

Neither of them spoke much during the meal.

In the middle of eating, Ji An led the porter with a smile on his face, saying that he had a happy event to report.

Xiao Shandao: "Happy event? What happy event?" These people's understanding of happy event is different from his understanding, and now he is really afraid of the word happy.

The concierge said beamingly: "If you go back to the lord, the emperor has sealed Mr. Xie of Xie's mansion as Ding'an Bo. The imperial decree has just been issued. The servant saw the father-in-law in the palace pass by the door with the imperial decree, and expressed his joy." , so I purposely went to inquire about it. The Xie Mansion will come to announce the good news in a while, and the slave will come to the master to please the master when he gets the letter first."

"Really?" Xiao Shan was dumbfounded and then happy.

Dai didn't understand what his father was thinking at first, why he suddenly gave Xie Chen the title of earl, and then he figured it out.The emperor agreed to acknowledge Xie Zhui's contribution in the northern border, but since ancient times, no younger brother has been on the battlefield, so the title of earl was granted to Xie Chen.

Xie Shen was granted the title of earl, which is naturally something to be happy about.

Xie Zhui also had a look of joy on his face, he had no choice but to join the army, he didn't care about fame and fortune.But the emperor was willing to transfer his credit to Xie Chen, and he was really happy for Xie Chen.

Xie Chen was blind, and he had attracted attention since he returned to Beijing from the border. Now that he has the status of an earl personally entrusted by the emperor, ordinary people dare not easily bully him.

The concierge had bright eyes and a bright heart, seeing this situation, he hurriedly bowed to Xie Zhui again and said, "Congratulations, my lord." It is also a happy event for the younger brother that the family members are granted titles.

At least in the husband's house speaking and doing things can be a lot tougher.

Ji'an also congratulated him.

Xie Zhui pursed the corners of his mouth with a smile in his eyes, Xiao Shan said: "You guys will be happy. This is a good job, and there will be rewards."

The concierge looked overjoyed: "Slave, thank you, my lord."

Ji'an also smiled and said: "This slave is in the honor of the king." He knew that Xiao Shan valued Xie Zhui very much, so he was deliberately talking about it.For Xie's family's happy event, he was able to get Xiao Shan's reward, so it was because of Xie Zhui's honor.

After Xiao Shan heard the news, his brows and eyes were always smiling.At this moment, he looked at Xie Zhui and said, "Happy?"

Xie Zhui nodded, really happy.

Concierge and Ji An saw this situation, hurriedly withdrew quietly.

After going out, Ji An looked at the concierge and said: "You are not bad, you have a lively spirit. Our prince likes such a servant. Now you are paying attention to him, work hard, and you will have a good life in the future."

After hearing this, the concierge hurriedly paid homage to Ji'an, saying that he was grateful to Ji'an for mentioning him and so on.

Ji'an is good at this point, never occupying other people's credit.Whether they can make a face in front of the master is the ability of these people. He will not prevent anyone from climbing up, but he will not allow those who have ulterior motives to climb up.

in the room

Xiao Shandao: "Brother will send someone to deliver the good news in a while. We went to the warehouse to pick some good things for him, which is also our kindness."

Xie Zhui stood up and was about to go out, Xiao Shan hurriedly held him down, and said, "What are you doing in such a hurry, you have to finish your meal anyway."

Only then did Xie Zhui realize that they had only eaten half of their meal, he looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly sat back and continued eating, this time at a slightly faster pace.

However, he also cared about Xiao Shan, and when he saw Xiao Shan put down his chopsticks, he put them down, looking at the person in front of him with bright eyes.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Shan's palms were itchy, and he really wanted to go up and rub his hair.Anyone who saw Xie Zhui like this would never think that he was once a decisive general.

He stood up and grabbed Xie Zhui's arm, and said in a helpless tone, "Go, go to the warehouse." He didn't mean to be cute, and it would be unreasonable if he didn't leave.He is probably the only one in this world who takes Wang Jun to the warehouse to pick things up so hard.

The two searched around in the warehouse, and the Xie Mansion sent someone over.

After the servants of the Xie Mansion delivered the good news, Xie Zhui said with a straight face: "I see, you go back and tell Big Brother, and I will go back to congratulate him in person in two days."

The servants of Xie's mansion agreed, and then went back with the gift from Xie Zhui.

Xie Chen was rewarded, no matter what the reason was, Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui were sincerely happy for him.

But not everyone is as sincere as the two of them toward Xie Chen.

For example, Mrs. An who is still living in the Gu family, that is, the old Mrs. An who wanted to take Qiao because of her identity when Xiao Shan took Xie Zhui to the Gu family the first time.

She was pissed off by Xiao Shan, and then pissed off by Concubine Lan when she entered the palace. She has been in a bad mood these days.

When she heard Earl Xie Chenfeng today, she threw the teacup on the ground.

Mrs. An said angrily: "He Xie Chen didn't even go to the battlefield for a day, why should he be named an earl? If this continues, wouldn't his Xie family be on the same level as my An family soon?"

Thinking of her settling down, it was only after the emperor ascended the throne that he fought several victories before he was granted the title of Marquis.

Now that Xie Chen has become an earl without shedding a drop of blood, it's hard not to make people angry.

As for the fact that Xie Zhui had been on the battlefield, Mrs. An didn't take it seriously at all. In her opinion, Xie Zhui's lack of a decree to punish Xie Zhui was already a sign of Xie Zhui's high incense.

Mrs. An has been tough all her life, and her greatest wish in this life is to overwhelm the Xie family.

In the past at the border, the prestige of the An family was not as good as that of the Xie family.

After finally waiting for the Xie family to show signs of defeat, the emperor suddenly made such a move.Mrs. An's heart felt like ants crawling on a hot pot, very uncomfortable.

Old Mrs. An was furious, and the juniors of An's family she brought stood there with their heads down, not daring to say a word easily.

Mrs. An scolded Xie's family in the room, including Xie Zhui and Xie Chen.

She didn't sit on a chair to rest until she was tired of cursing.

When thinking of the second room of the Gu family, Mrs. An suddenly lost her temper, and she even laughed.

In her opinion, Xie Chen was named the earl because Xie Zhui was married to the third prince Xiao Shan. With this relationship, Xie Chen's name had the chance to be heard by the emperor.

Gu Yan, who is the second wife of the Gu family, and people of his line have a daughter who is a concubine in the palace, and a grandson who is the prince.But what did they get?When the world mentions the Gu family, except for the old man, it is Gu Xuan, who would think of Gu Yan.

Now Mrs. Gu is old and not in good health. Recently, all the old problems in the body have been committed, and the mental state is not very good. Yesterday, he invited the imperial doctor to see him.

Now everyone in the Gu family agrees that the big house is the master.

The eldest son and the second son are also quite different in treatment.

When Mrs. Gu really has something to do, the second room of the Gu family can't get anything.

Mrs. An didn't believe it, Xie Shen Fengjue couldn't poke Gu Yan's lungs.

Thinking of this, Mrs. An covered her heart and said, "Come here, go tell my sister-in-law that I'm sick." She was referring to Gu Xuan's wife, Yun Shi, and Jiang Shi was Gu Yan's wife.

Naturally, it was impossible for her to go directly to Mrs. Jiang and say some harsh words.But her identity is there, as long as she is unwell, other members of the Gu family will always come to visit her...

***

Five days after thanking Shen Feng Earl, the old man of the Gu family died of illness suddenly.

When the news reached the palace, the emperor was shocked, not knowing why Mrs. Gu left suddenly.

The old man Gu's health is not very good these days, so he asked the imperial doctor about it, and the imperial doctor said that as long as he takes good care of it, it will not be a problem to survive for a while.

It's only been a few days, and the people are gone.
