Chapter 1 Chapter 1
In the rare fine weather in spring, Xie Xuanwei played the piano alone in the Huxin Pavilion.
This Xie Xuanwei is also the only one in Lin'an City. He was born with a beautiful face and a precocious intelligence. He is a treasure acquired by the old Hou Ye in his old age, but because of his mother's mistakes, he has been raised in another courtyard.After his mother died of illness, the old Hou Ye opened his eyes for some reason and carried his mother into a flat wife.
After being taken back to the Hou Mansion, his aunt died suddenly within a few days.His old father continued his efforts and made his mother his official wife.It coincided with the New Deal, and his old father was the first to respond. Long Yan was very happy, and his old father took the opportunity to ask his late mother for orders.The emperor thought that it was just a title, so he generously bestowed the order of Zheng Yipin, and rewarded it as usual.So far, Xie Xuanwei's identity has changed from an abandoned daughter to a noble daughter from the Hou family.
The ladies of various families still complained about him, thinking that he was indifferent and aloof.But within a few years, the emperor granted him the title of Junjun of Jinyang. Everyone could only guess that it was because of his maternal ancestral family.
Ladies in Lin'an love to organize flower banquets at the Poetry Club, saying they are for enjoying flowers, but it's just that each family needs to move around a lot, so it's easy to plan in the future.
Coincidentally, Princess Shen organized an apricot blossom banquet. Unexpectedly, 12-year-old Xie Xuanwei made a big splash at the banquet. With a magpie stepping on a branch, she became the number one talented woman in Lin'an.Since then, he has been a talented scholar full of knowledge, an arrogant and arrogant literati and poet, and he is always praised.
It stands to reason that as a famous noblewoman in Lin'an, people who come to ask for marriage should break the threshold, but because of some powerful connections, when he is fourteen, there is still no matchmaker.Fortunately, Xie Xuanwei is not worried, he still plays the piano and practice calligraphy every day, very happy.
Xie Xuanwei watched the slight movement of the lake surface, and the spring breeze was floating, bringing incense to warm him, and his heart became more and more stable.
Xie Yuzhang, who came running wildly, appeared so suddenly, before the guarding maid had time to stop him, he had already rushed to Xie Xuanwei.
"Auntie, save me! Father is going to kill me!" Xie Yuzhang was sweating profusely as he ran, and knelt down in front of Xie Xuanwei, hugging his arm, not letting him go.Xie Xuanwei pressed his fingers hard, and one of the strings broke, bleeding from his fingertips. He was afraid that the maid would talk too much, so he quietly took a handkerchief to wrap it up.
The servant girl, Mianwu, looked panic-stricken, and quickly walked into the Huxin Pavilion, knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Miss, this servant just lost his mind and let the second young master barge in."
Xie Xuan waved his hand slightly, telling her to step back, looked at Xie Yuzhang, and said softly, "Tell me, what good thing have you done?"
Seeing his gentle expression, Xie Yuzhang felt relieved and sat down on the stone bench beside him.Mianwu hurriedly poured tea for him, he gulped it down, and then he groaned and said, "Today in Taixue, when I came out, I saw Prince Rong's son-in-law coercing Duan Taishi's son to do that."
Mian Wu turned pale when she heard that, and hurriedly covered Xie Xuanwei's ears, and stomped her feet anxiously, "Why do you tell the girl all the stupid things!"
Xie Yuzhang looked confused, Xie Xuanwei became interested, pushed away Mianwu's hand, and said with a smile: "Let's ignore her, you continue talking."
Xie Yuzhang said: "I was angry when I saw it, so I beat him." Xie Yuzhang became more and more angry, stood up with his hips on his hips, took a sip, and said: "This little boy was bumped into by me, he can't beat me, he is not angry Zhang Rui said that my father is looking for me everywhere." Xie Yuzhang lowered his head, looking rather pitiful.
Although Xie Yuzhang was the eldest son of the head of the Hou family, his father was very strict in education. When he met him, he was either asked to endorse or test his knowledge.Father and son are like master and student.He was ignorant and ignorant, and he was still struggling to memorize the first chapter of the Book of Songs, so his relationship with his father was even more distant.His mother was obedient and virtuous, and she didn't dare to spoil him too much, so he became a well-known father who didn't love his mother or loved him among children of his age.Zhang Rui is his father's close attendant. He said that his father was looking for him, and he couldn't escape after a good beating tonight. He hid at his mother's place first, but her mother was so scared that she just hugged him and cried. He taught himself to beg the fourth girl, maybe the beating was lighter, so he came in a panic.
Xie Xuanwei pulled him to sit down, patted his head, and said with a smile: "It seems that our Yu'er won this fight."
Xie Yuzhang nodded and said nothing, he will calm down now, after considering how powerful it is, he also regrets that he shouldn't hit the prince, and gradually becomes afraid in his heart.His father had always hated fights among his clan's children the most. Prince Rong only had such a sweetheart, and he pampered the young prince to become lawless.But after all, it's a young man's heart, if he doesn't fight, he really can't swallow this breath, let alone Duan Xingzhi is so elegant and noble, how can he be tarnished by such a person?
Xie Xuan got up slightly and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to your grandfather's place."
Xie Yuzhang couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, and said yes repeatedly, and followed Xie Xuanwei.
When they arrived at Old Hou Ye's place, Xie Xuanwei sent Xie Yuzhang to eat some snacks, and went into Old Hou Ye's study alone.
Old Hou Ye was wearing presbyopic glasses and was reading a book of travel notes. When he saw him coming, he turned his screen back and said with a smile: "I said today why the magpies are chirping non-stop. I feel that Miss Xie is here."
Xie Xuanwei took the scissors, "Why is the light so dark?" He cut the wick, and the candle became brighter instantly, and his face was reflected more clearly.Old Hou Ye couldn't help being slightly stunned, seeing Cui Min in a daze, his eyes were affectionate, beautiful and dignified.
Xie Xuanwei put down the scissors and said with a smile: "Father should know, there is a saying that you can go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, and I am here today to give my father a little brother."
After hearing this, the old Hou Ye took off his reading glasses angrily, and said angrily: "Is he thinking of giving you a prince again? My own sister is also like this? I hold things that don't care, I hold them in the palm of my hand." Man, is it because he is so good at playing tricks?" After cursing, he called out to invite Lord Hou.
Xie Xuanwei hurriedly stopped the servant, and said with a smile: "How can there be so many princes and princes marrying me?" Then he told his father in detail about Xie Yuzhang beating Prince Rong's son in the Imperial College.
The old Hou Ye hated these princes and sons the most in his life. He looked at people like dogs, stealing chickens and dogs one by one, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil.He said, "where's the jade chapter?"
Xie Yuzhang poked his head at the door, saw his grandfather beckoning, and threw himself into his arms, crying, "Grandpa, Yuzhang knew he was wrong, don't dare anymore, grandpa, help me." As early as on the way here , Xie Xuanwei taught him that when he met his grandfather, he would be miserable.So Xie Yuzhang burst into tears and snot, and the old Hou Ye who was crying broke his heart.As he got older, his heart became softer, and he loved the younger generation more and more.The first eyeball is Yaonu. Seeing Yaonu praise her grandson, she also feels more and more handsome when she looks at her grandson, and she loves her in her heart.
Angrily, the old Hou picked up his faucet axe, smashed it on the ground a few times, and said to his grandson: "I think your father dared to touch you. You beat me well. I will beat you next time! How can I cry and cry?" What should the descendants of the Xie family look like?"
After hearing this, Xie Yuzhang wiped away his tears and stood aside.
All of a sudden, several servants came forward to change the old Lord Hou's clothes, Xie Xuanwei only said that he had blown the wind and wanted to go back to have a rest, so he left.
Old Hou Ye was supported by his grandson, and a group of people went to Xie Hou Ye's yard in a mighty manner. Xie Hou Ye and his wife Li rushed out to greet him.
Xie Houye apologized and said with a smile: "Why is father here? If there is anything wrong, just let the son know."
The old Lord Hou sneered and said: "I also have to dare to know Lord Hou. Now that Lord Hou is a high-ranking official, he has also learned some good skills of flattery. He is going to kill his son in order to cover up the prince's embarrassment!"
Master Xie panicked and knelt down in front of the old master, Li Shi and Xie Yuzhang also hurriedly knelt down, a group of people knelt down in the yard, but they didn't even hear a sound.
Xie Houye stammered, "Son, how dare you? I just want to ask Yuzhang the reason, I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding."
The old Hou Ye sounded like a bell, and said angrily: "Misunderstanding? His son is shameless and threatens the son of Taishi. My grandson rescues people. Who dares to say that my grandson is not?"
Xie Houye said nonuo: "Yes yes yes."
Old Master Hou knew what his son was worried about, and snorted, "I won't believe that I will go to court with you tomorrow. How dare he challenge me?" After finishing speaking, he left like a gust of wind.
Marquis Xie was both angry and happy. He was angry because his son was fighting in school and lost face, and he was happy because his father stepped out. Prince Rong didn't speak much anymore.But seeing his son nestled in his wife's arms, he poked his son on the forehead angrily, and cursed: "You don't have to worry about things, I really dare to find someone to make decisions for you!" After saying that, he also left in anger.
After the early court, the old Hou Ye followed the prince into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and presented Prince Canrong's booklet to the emperor.
After reading it, the emperor didn't answer, and showed the book to the prince again.
The emperor laughed and said: "Old Hou Ye, you are too stingy, why do you have to judge children when they fight?"
The old Hou Ye stared and said: "It is clear that Prince Rong is unreasonable. The old minister talked to him about the salt road, but he was impatient. He insisted on bringing the child's fight to the court. Naturally, the old minister can also come and sue him. .”
Seeing that the prince had finished reading, the emperor smiled and said, "Where is the prince? What do you think of children being jealous and fighting?"
The prince got up and said loudly: "The Taixue was established to cultivate the pillars of the country. It is wrong for Prince Rong's son to fight with others. But after all, Prince Rong is the brother of the father. If he punishes his father and son, it will be an elbow. Turning outside? What's more, if you get into an awkward fight and bring it up on the table, it will not only hurt the harmony of the three families, but also damage the majesty of the royal family."
The emperor said: "In this way, wouldn't Duan Taishi's son be chilled? Although he is not a high-ranking official, the pen he holds in his hand has written all the merits and demerits of the emperor."
The crown prince nodded and said, "That's true, so the prince should be punished."
The emperor asked: "Then how to punish?"
The crown prince said: "Prince Rong's son has only loved to dance with spears and sticks since he was a child. He is not suitable for studying, so we just don't let him go to the Imperial Academy. Send him to the military camp as a punishment. The Duan family must be comforted. "
The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "The crown prince is already sixteen this year, so I will leave this matter to you. Remember that as a king, you can't make judgments based on your personal likes and dislikes. You have to weigh the pros and cons, and you need to have the best of both worlds when necessary, crown prince. Do it well."
The prince answered yes, and took the order to retreat.
The old Hou Ye watched the prince retreat, sat down on the emperor's footrest, stretched his clothes and said: "The prince acts prudently, which is very different from a few years ago."
When the emperor heard about it, he poured a cup of tea, handed it to the old Hou Ye, and said with a smile: "He has grown up, whether it's good or bad, I'm happy or not."
The old Hou Ye said in relief: "Your Highness should be happy now that His Highness looks like an emperor."
The emperor nodded and rubbed the small case with his hands. Seeing that he was not in good spirits, the old Hou Ye left after a little gossip.
