Mrs. Tai is really rich

In the afternoon of spring, there is neither the poisonousness of summer nor the coldness of winter, but only the warm spring breeze and the deep sleepiness it brings.

Therefore, when Xie Ruqing walked on the corridor with Hong Tang and others, she felt somewhat inexplicably sleepy.

After arriving at Gu Ruosu's room, Xie Ruqing sat at the round table, enjoying the meal that Gu Ruosu had prepared for him.

Just look, a few stacks of fresh and fresh seasonal dishes slowly disappeared under Xie Ruqing's wave of chopsticks, and in Xie Ruqing's satisfaction, a few porcelain bowls and plates were wantonly placed on the round table, quite a few The taste of leisure and comfort.

Xie Ruqing was full of wine and food, so in this long spring day, she coaxed her wife to lie on the soft couch with her and entered the afternoon dream fragrance.

The two slept together for a long time, waiting for Xie Ruqing and Gu Ruosu to wake up from their afternoon nap. They didn't know what to do, so they had to prop up the window, and lay lazily on the soft couch, looking at the young man outside the window. The young maidservants lazily watched the children chasing catkins flying in the air.

"This year's spring, why do I feel that it is so long? I feel... I have been here for a long time, but it is still a spring of red and green flowers..." Gu Ruosu looked at the atmosphere outside the window, and the catkins that seemed to never stop disappearing , can't help feeling a little bit.

"Spring is actually coming to an end, but, spring is good, you think these days are going well, so, you think, it's always spring, but now, it's almost early summer, when the time comes, you're going to call summer bitter " Xie Ruqing said with a smile as she hugged her wife Gu Ruosu, who suddenly felt emotional.

"There is some truth in what you said, but just now, when I was having dinner with those little girls, they also said that this year's spring is long, and they also said that when spring comes, every family is busy getting married.

But, this year, these little girls have never been to a banquet, saying that since they have not been to a banquet, the spring must still be long, and the summer must come later. " Gu Ruosu thought for a while and said again.

"It turns out that my Gu Gu is a drunkard who doesn't want to drink. You are not cherishing the long spring, but you are just asking me why you don't let these little girls go out to the banquet."

Xie Ruqing immediately understood the meaning of Gu Ruosu's words. It should be that the group of little girls couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted to play for a while, but they were afraid of what she had said before, so they invited Gu Ruosu to be one of them. Be a lobbyist.

Gu Ruosu rubbed her nose with a guilty conscience, she was here to be a lobbyist, who told me to have a meal with that group of little girls just now, in order to go out, they brought new gadgets and brand new notebooks, And a big autograph of her favorite author to tempt her...

It's not that she's not good at being a daughter-in-law... It's that these little girls give too much~
"It's not what those little girls mean...it's because I want to play myself...

Moreover, I just feel sorry for them a little bit. Isn't it normal that they are the same age and want to go out to play...

When I was young, I was much crazier than them, and I didn’t make any big troubles, so you don’t have to be too strict in discipline... Maybe, when the time comes, the more you control... On the contrary, it will be counterproductive..." Gu Ruosu, for the sake of her unearned benefits... Bah! Sincere love for her grandchildren, she didn't betray these children, but criticized the "old antique" with righteous words. "Thank you, Ruqing.

Xie Ruqing couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard her precious daughter-in-law say that she didn't make any big troubles when she was young...

Back then, within a hundred and eighty miles of Qingzhou City, there was no one who didn't know the reputation of the Gu family's mother...

Today this chicken was eaten, tomorrow that handsome man was molested, and the day after that, so-and-so’s casino was smashed, and the day after that... the bully who robbed civilian girls was put in a sack and beat up... Suddenly...

In all likelihood, it was his precious daughter-in-law who did it together with her good brother...

Thinking about it again, back then, I was spotted by Gu Ruosu at the pier and vowed to die, but in the end, I was directly tied to her little courtyard by Gu Ruosu and her brother in the overcrowded pier... ...

He really couldn't think of how his own wife would say that she didn't make any big trouble back then...

However, Xie Ruqing didn't dare to say these helplessness and slander in front of Gu Ruosu... I still know what kind of temper my daughter-in-law has...

Therefore, when Gu Ruosu was about to raise his head because Xie Ruqing didn't give her a reply for a long time, Xie Ruqing immediately restrained his expression, pretended to think for a long time, and then said helplessly:
"Well, it's all up to you, you have already spoken, how can I say no to you...

Go back and tell the group of little girls, if there is any banquet you want to go to, as long as you bring enough people, just go, don't worry about what I said earlier. "

Gu Ruosu immediately nodded happily, patted Xie Ruqing's chest, and praised:

"Sure enough, I knew that you wouldn't let me down~ Coincidentally, I also went out to play with these little girls, and it would be best to attend a wedding banquet or something. I've been here for so long It's... bah... It's been a long time since I recovered from my illness, and I haven't been to other people's weddings yet... Haha... I'm happy... I'm happy... Haha..."

Xie Ruqing pretended not to have heard Gu Ruosu's mouth, but caught Gu Ruosu's small hand that started to draw circles on his chest, and said:

"If you want to attend a wedding banquet, if you want to come, there will be a wedding banquet in a few days, and the relationship with us is considered to be today. There should be a post to our house, but I'm afraid of you, I guess you can't help but smash it The place..."

When Xie Ruqing said this, Gu Ruosu immediately became interested, and without struggling with his little hands, he raised his head, stared at Xie Ruqing curiously and asked:
"How to say, how to say! Whose place! I can't help but smash it!"

Xie Ruqing smiled and patted Gu Ruosu's head and said:
"Of course it's the wedding banquet of the old prince Shouguang's family who played polo with us Xiaoliu and didn't follow the rules. That's our godson Qi Lan's younger brother Qi Lin who was born with the same father and the same mother. .”

"He... this dude... I still haven't figured out where he got his charm to snatch his wife away from our godson...

In terms of birth, both of them are nobles of the heavenly family...

In terms of appearance, although both of them are handsome, it is obvious that our son's appearance can beat his younger brother by ten blocks...

Let's talk about literary talent and moral character, our godson is now a Juren, only one step away from entering the imperial examination, and our godson is also a well-known and dignified gentleman in Kyoto...

His younger brother...named...named Qi Lin...on the one hand, he has no fame, and on the other hand, this guy is a well-known stubborn child in the capital, and his reputation is not much different from that of the Deng family's child...even , not as good as that kid from the Deng family...

I don't know, that girl...why did she fall in love with Qi Lin, she was blind, she didn't want pearls and jade, but she wanted that fish eye..."

Gu Ruosu suddenly heard Qi Lin's name from Xie Ruqing's mouth, and remembered everything that happened on the polo field that day, and what he ate after eating melons. It was inevitable that he felt aggrieved for Qi Lan, so, To say so much in one breath...

Xie Ruqing cautiously got up halfway, took a cup of cold tea for Gu Ruosu that Bilan and the others put aside, and handed it to Gu Ruosu.

Seeing that Gu Ruosu drank the cup of tea to the bottom, Xie Ruqing said slowly:
"In terms of talent and appearance, Qi Lin can't match Qi Lan with half a finger, but in terms of family favor, Qi Lin far surpasses Qi Lan and his elder brother."

"Huh?" Gu Ruosu looked at Xie Ruqing puzzled, as if she didn't know why the favor of her parents would affect that girl's decision to marry...

"Qi Lan and Qi Lin came from the mansion of Prince Shouguang, the lineage of Prince Shouguang, and they are quite close to the current Holy Majesty's blood. Rebellion, then Lord Shouguang's family is in a standing position."

"What's the matter... In the future, it will be Qi Lin's father, Qi Lin's elder brother, Qi Lin's eldest brother, his descendants... what does it have to do with him, a dude..." Gu Ruosu frowned and asked .

Xie Ruqing gently smoothed Gu Ruosu's frowning brows, and continued:
"Brother Qi Lin, named Qi Ze, has been fighting in the barracks since he was a child, and fought with the old prince Shouguang. Over the years, he may not be able to return to the capital once, so even if he waits until Qi Ze Inheriting the position of prince, most of them are bound to garrison the frontiers in the fiefdoms and control the military power, and the connections in the capital are rich and noble, so naturally it is not Qi Ze's turn to enjoy them."

"So...Qi Linshen's parents and elder brothers love her dearly. If there is a day when Qi Ze inherits the throne, then all the contacts and wealth in the capital... will be in Qi Lin's hands..." Gu Ruosu heard Xie Ruqing say At this point, I had a guess in my heart and said it out.

Xie Ruqing nodded approvingly and said:

"That's right, the fate of the brothers Qi Ze and Qi Lin in the future should be just like today, the old prince Shouguang is fighting in the south and controlling the military power, while his son, the son of the prince Shouguang, enjoys the glory and wealth in Beijing, grasping the power of the army." The network is the same, one inside and one outside, division of labor and cooperation."

"But they are brothers after all, not father and son. Aren't they afraid that in the end, because of this problem, brothers will fight against each other?"

"In the generation of Qi Ze and Qi Lin, it is definitely not possible. Not to mention the deep brotherhood between the two brothers, their grandfather, Lord Shouguang, and the son of Shouguang are not foolish people. Since they dare With such an arrangement, there must be a backup player, and this backup player, no matter what, will satisfy the two brothers."

"So...even if Qi Lin is just a second-generation patriarch, he can easily...enjoy the glory and wealth of his life...even Fuyin's descendants..." Gu Ruosu said rather angrily.

"That's right, that's exactly the case. So, I remember that girl was born in the natal family of Princess Shouguang. She is considered to be the niece of Princess Shouguang. She must know the inside story clearly, so she is willing to give up the kindness of many years. She gave up her uncertain future, or to put it more cruelly, she gave up Qi Lan, who could only struggle to reach Qi Lin's starting point in her life, and chose Qi Lin with a promising future to marry.

Moreover, both of them are the girl's cousins. In fact, she will not suffer from whoever she marries.

In fact, regardless of character and talent, if you marry Qi Lin, it is actually much better than marrying Qi Lan. You don't have to suffer any hardships, and you can enjoy a lifetime of prosperity and wealth. "Although Xie Ruqing understood that this ending was difficult for Gu Ruosu to accept, he still said it without hesitation.

Gu Ruosu gave a disdainful cut and said:
"What's the matter, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi. Maybe it's just that the girl was wrong. I think Qi Lan has a bright future. Maybe he can set up another family and give himself What kind of title did you earn to go back!
How rare is something from Shouguang Prince's Mansion! "

"Qi Lan, I am also very optimistic about him. He will definitely make a lot of achievements. However, before he can make a lot of achievements, he must suffer a lot. The Prince's Mansion was the first to trip him up."

"What! Is Shouguang Prince's Mansion still doing human affairs? It's fine if you don't leave some good things for your descendants, but you have to harm him! Why! If you really become an official, then all the people on this road The things are all tested by Qi Lan alone, stroke by stroke, and every single sentence, what reason do they have to stop!" Gu Ruosu got up from the soft couch when he heard this, and said angrily.

Xie Ruqing got up immediately, sat next to Gu Ruosu, and patiently continued to explain:

"The tree attracts the wind, the old prince Shouguang's family already has the military power in their hands, and they already have an unshakable position among the military officers. If there is another descendant of Congwen, don't say whether your majesty will be suspicious, just say those civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty , there are a few who can believe that Lord Shouguang and the others are still pure ministers...

Even if you believe it, this is naturally a good excuse for the old prince Shouguang's family to be attacked by everyone. "

"But this is too unfair to Qi Lan! This kid! He really works hard! He is a good boy!"

"There is nothing absolutely fair about everything in this world. If there is no way out, you will naturally suffer."

"But our family is also a big tree, why can our children learn both literature and martial arts..." Gu Ruosu reluctantly accepted Xie Ruqing's words, but suddenly, as if remembering something, he raised his head and asked suspiciously road.

"Although our family is big and attractive, our family does not have any royal blood. Even if we usurp the throne, it is not justified, but Lord Shouguang's family is the royal family. In addition, our family is today, thanks to the gift of the late emperor and His Majesty. , the foundation is not stable, it can be said that without His Majesty, our Xie family may not survive so smoothly after all.

And, Gu Gu, do you really think that our family has not sacrificed? For the sake of my position and that of the elders, I ruthlessly blocked the way for the little Liu'er to enter the court and become an official, and I also ruthlessly let the second son wander alone for many years. Can't go home, can only live in the academy, just for the so-called reputation of being devoted to learning and not colluding with officials.

Even more ruthlessly, he put the third child in the border for many years, and allowed the fifth child's family to be transferred to a remote place. It was not until this year that the two were slowly transferred back to Kyoto.

Although everyone in our family is living a good life, there are many hardships and hardships. "

After hearing Xie Ruqing's heartfelt words, Gu Ruosu understood how difficult it is for the current Xie family to run in full swing. He also understood that although the Xie family seems to be in full bloom now, in fact, it is fried. living...

"Then, Qi Lan is our adopted son now, so...won't it affect us..." Gu Ruosu suddenly began to regret that he and Xiao Liu were so self-willed to accept Qi Lan as his adopted son. I'm afraid it will cause trouble for Xie Ruqing...

But in fact, if it was back in the day, Gu Ruosu would still do this, not for anything else, just to save the last hope that was about to be shattered in the child's eyes...

"It won't cause trouble. If a family wants to develop, it is naturally inseparable from gossip and obstacles. My Xie family, if it is to be passed down for generations, naturally there is nothing to be afraid of."

"The road is made by people. Although Qi Lan is besieged on all sides, he is not helpless. If he fights to the death, he may still have a chance..."

"What method?!" Gu Ruosu asked curiously.

"As long as Qi Lan's relationship with the old prince Shouguang's family is completely broken, and everyone knows that, even if he is in the literature, he will not arouse His Majesty's suspicion. Even if those good people attack him many times because of this, His Majesty still He will be given the opportunity to be appointed as a general.

Our Majesty has always been the most proficient in the art of power control. What is the icing on the cake, it is the real help. At present, His Majesty should be most lacking in a noble but helpless helper. "Xie Ruqing will never lie to Gu Ruosu, even if this is a big game he will play in the future, he will tell Gu Ruosu without hesitation.

"But, Qi Lan's child, filial piety is the most important thing, otherwise, how could he give up his fiancée... This will make him break up...it's too difficult..." Gu Ruosu asked suspiciously.

"It may have been like this in the past, but people's hearts are full of flesh. Qi Lan is not a fool, so he should be able to figure it out. If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't have moved to his aunt's princess mansion a few days ago .”

"Then what do you mean, you want to support him?" Gu Ruosu chatted with Xie Ruqing for a long time, and got a glimpse of Xie Ruqing's deep meaning, so he opened his mouth to probe.

"Now that I am his adoptive father, his business is naturally our family's business. It is natural to support him. After all, I will not let him be wasted by these people.

[Of course, if you want to completely tie two people into a boat, you need a stronger rope. ]”

"Since that's the case, then go ahead and do it. I support you. I'll see that this child, Qi Lan, won't let us down." Gu Ruosu nodded and said.

Xie Ruqing looked at her ice-snow and smart wife, smiled again, took Gu Ruosu's hand and said:

"Today, we haven't talked so much for a long time. I didn't expect that one day, we would talk about so many important court affairs with you."

"What's the matter... You and I have talked a lot in the past..." Gu Ruosu muttered.

"Yes, Gu Gu, what you said is correct, but I still think it's better if you don't go to the wedding banquet. After all, if you go, you can't mess up the situation. You must be very annoyed. It's better to be at home. Let those little girls come and play with you..."

Before Xie Ruqing finished speaking, she looked at Gu Ruosu and shook her head and said:
"No, I'm going! Didn't you say that we are Qi Lan's adoptive father and mother, people on the same boat, can't watch him being wasted, how many of his family treat him sincerely, at the wedding banquet , one is his own younger brother, and the other is his ex-fiancée, how should he handle himself among the guests...

I have to go and help him..."

Gu Ruosu's gaze and tone were very firm, and in the end, despite Xie Ruqing's reluctance, he still said:
"Okay... I will listen to you..."
