A Thousand Hills

Chapter 78

There are talents from the imperial capital, and the Marquis of Nan'an has not been in the imperial capital for more than ten years, so he doesn't know much about the characters in the imperial capital.But the big waves wash the sand, after these years of washing, there are only a few who can stay in the imperial capital, and those who can have a place... Nan'an Hou Qu is counted, and there is really no one who is as good as Miss Xie.

Xie Moru's rise to prominence was only a matter of a couple of years, but the prosperity of the foreground can be said to be unique.

Although she is only a female family member, Xie Moru's background is determined, and she cannot be regarded as a simple female family member.Xie Moru is fine if he is quiet, immoral and incompetent, but he is neither quiet nor incompetent, but quite capable, his face is swollen.Her mother could still be too provocative and turn the Xie family's good move into a bad move...

Who is this?Is Princess Ningping revived?

Why did you stimulate his mother to the point of insanity?
Cheng En Gong's mansion needs counselors to have counselors, and staff to have staff. Nan'an Hou Da sounds easy.

Cheng Li first had to plead guilty to the third son of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, saying that he had not fulfilled his duty of persuasion.The Marquis of Nan'an was considerate, without any intention of blaming others, he said, "I don't mean to blame sir, but Miss Xie has a special status, so I have to treat each other with caution. I know her too well, please tell me calmly .”

Cheng Li almost burst into tears, is it easy for him, what can the counselor do if he has an idea, but the lord refuses to obey, insists on dying!Now a sensible person came, and Cheng Lidang told Nan'an Hou about Xie Moru's actions in detail. Nan'an Hou sighed, "Even if the eldest princess comes back to life, it's nothing more than that." It can change the political stance of the Xie Mansion in the slightest.Of course, for the Xie family, this is normal.If it were a princess, Xie's family would become the younger brother of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, and the Marquis of Nan'an would be disdainful instead.It's just that the two families have Princess Yi'an here, so it shouldn't be a feud anyway.As a result, his family was able to form an enemy.

It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no reason here.

The Marquis of Nan'an has researched and admitted that there was a reason for Taizu Ningping's family to be in power.It is obvious that it is not stupid to seize the power from the Eldest Princess today, even a girl like Xie Moru, who is eleven or twelve years old, is also very good at alienation.He didn't do anything glamorously, but his mother just pretended to be smart and committed the stupid thing that should be committed all over again.

Nan'an Hou's character is not like his mother, and of course, he is not like his father either.

The Marquis of Nan'an invites his nephew Li Xuan to drink tea. In the other courtyard of Cheng'en Gong Mansion, under the acacia tree in late spring and early summer. Although Marquis of Nan'an was born as a general, he also learned some elegance when he was young, but his tea-making skills are far inferior to Li Xuan's. up.Nan'an Hou laughed, "Ah Xuan, you are a master in this way, I'm really a master of my class."

Li Xuan originally wanted him to cook, but the Marquis of Nan'an insisted on coming in person. Li Xuan took the good tea handed over by Marquis of Nan'an with both hands, and just flattered Nan'an's cousin, "Cousin, you are the hand with the knife and gun, cook with me." Tea hands are certainly different."

Seeing that Li Xuan was young enough to cope well, Nan'an Hou lamented that cousin Wenkang would take care of the child, and said inwardly, "You were not born when I went to Nan'an Prefecture. Although we have come back these years, we rarely even talk to each other. Yes. Now that my parents are old and Nan'an is peaceful, I want to stay in the imperial capital for a long time when I come back. Therefore, there are some things that I want to ask you, Axuan."

Li Xuan hurriedly said, "my uncle has something to do, just tell me." In terms of seniority, the Marquis of Nan'an is the elder of his generation.In terms of status, Hou of Nan'an was granted the title of Marquis because of his military exploits.What's more, this is a real relative, Li Xuan is not big, very humble.

"That's right, I heard that, Ah Xuan, you are familiar with Miss Xie."

Li Xuandao, "I'm familiar with Sister Mo Ru, and I only met Miss Xie a few times by chance."

Could it be my sister?

Marquis Nan'an thought about it, and sure enough, everyone is relatives, so he couldn't help laughing, "Yes, in terms of seniority, Miss Xie will also call me cousin."

Li Xuan knew what the Marquis of Nan'an said had something to do with Xie Moru, so he quietly sipped the tea and listened to the Marquis of Nan'an.Nan'an Hou said, "I've been in Nan'an for a long time, and I don't know about the imperial capital. Recently, I know that Miss Xie seems to have misunderstood the Hu family."

Li Xuan is an honest person, and his cousin Nan'an has said so, so he won't pretend to be stupid. After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, is my cousin trying to clear up the past?"

Hou Xiao of Nan'an said, "The Hu family and the Xie family are related by marriage because of the affair of Shangzhu Xie Bai. If you say that there is a relationship, you can't talk about the previous suspicions. It's about the uncle first, but I want to blame Miss Xie for this matter. That would be unfair."

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and listened to Nan'an Hou said, "It's not my turn to judge right and wrong about the elders, but as far as I am concerned, I don't agree with it. Can Ah Xuan tell me about Miss Xie's nature?" , I can have some measure in my heart, and see how to ease the misunderstanding."

The House of Nobility has always been reserved, and there are few people who are as straightforward as the Marquis of Nan'an. Fortunately, Li Xuan is selfless and open-minded. Li Xuandao, "I don't know much about Sister Mo Ru. If you want to talk about her personality, um, she is smart." .”

Nan'an Hou smiled, and Li Xuan said, "Biao uncle, don't think that I am perfunctory for you. It may be a compliment out of good intentions to say that other girls are smart. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she is like a younger sister."

Nan'an Hou laughed, "Ah Xuan don't misunderstand, I laugh not because I don't believe you. I just think that those who can make Ah Xuan say that they are smart can be seen to be really smart." Men and women evaluate people differently. In women's eyes The cleverness in the eyes of men is different from the cleverness in the eyes of men. Moreover, Li Xuan's expression when he said the word "smart" made Nan'anhou even more convinced by Cheng Li's evaluation of Xie Moru. This is indeed not an ordinary girl.

Li Xuan continued tea for Marquis of Nan'an, "I don't know why, but many people have a strange attitude towards Sister Mo Ru."

"Strange?"

"Well, it's quite strange." With their identities, if nothing else, they will always play tricks whenever they happen.Many people treat Mo Ru's sister, but they don't even play tricks every now and then.Speaking of which, the eldest princess has passed away long ago, and Mrs. Wei Guo has also cultivated for many years. It is Mo Ru's younger sister herself. Her surname is Xie, not Fang.Even looking at the Xie family's face, a wealthy family shouldn't have such an attitude.

Li Xuan only said it was strange, but he didn't say where it was.The Marquis of Nan'an didn't ask further, but asked, "Is there a way for me to meet Miss Xie?"

Li Xuan was wrong, "Your sister is a girl in the boudoir, how can she come out when she is free? I also go to Xie's house when I have something to do."

The Marquis of Nan'an slapped his forehead, "I'm sorry, I forgot that this is the imperial capital." He complained, "When I was in Nan'an, every little girl's family could go out to visit the market, it's not like the imperial capital."

Nan'an Hou said, "Then there is Lao Axuan, I will write a letter, and you can take it to Miss Xie."

The letter that Li Xuan could carry was obviously not a secret letter.

Li Xuan sent the Buddha to the west and ran errands for the Marquis of Nan'an, and incidentally told Xie Moru about the Marquis of Nan'an looking for him, saying, "Biao Nan'an intends to repair it."

Xie Moru accepted the letter, and said calmly, "How dare you be the Marquis of Nan'an." She was so polite, but her expression did not show the slightest sign of not being afraid.

Li Xuan dutifully spoke good words for the Marquis of Nan'an, "Uncle Nan'an's temperament is different from that of Princess Ningrong."

Xie Moru smiled, "I know. It's just that the Marquis of Nan'an can be his own master, but I'm afraid he won't be able to be the master of Cheng Engong's mansion and Princess Ningrong." Pass the letter to Li Xuan, Li Xuan is not good Then, he said, "It's better to watch it first, sister Mo Ru."

"This letter has not been sealed. It is obvious that there is nothing to say to others. Just read it, son."

Li Xuan was not polite anymore, took out the letter and saw it was a blank sheet of paper, Li Xuan suddenly felt that Biao Nan'an was unpredictable, since he entrusted me to deliver the letter, at least he had to write some words.Fortunately, looking at Xie Moru's expression, it was as expected, Li Xuandao, "My sister is really lucky."

Xie Moru said, "Whether he wrote this letter or not, I wouldn't believe it if I wrote it. Why do I need to write it. But I believe in Li Shizi more. Li Shizi is willing to personally deliver the letter for Marquis Nan'an. I think Marquis Nan'an has the same temperament as his ancestor. Mother is different."

This is a bit harsh, Mrs. Shou'an is also Li Xuan's great-grandmother, Li Xuan is a little embarrassed, Xie Moru relieved, "Mrs. No, it doesn’t matter much. I’ve just had my mouth addiction, so don’t worry about it, usually because of my helplessness.”

Li Xuan laughed, "I don't even know what to say."

"I haven't gone out for a long time, why don't you tell me about the excitement of the imperial capital?"

"The most exciting thing is that the Marquis of Nan'an has returned to the imperial capital." Li Xuandao, "There is one more thing. I wonder if you know that Mr. Beiling is going back to his hometown."

Xie Moru was slightly moved, neither surprised nor surprised, lowered his head and picked up a red apricot from the fruit plate, "I've never heard of this, I don't know when it happened." Such a thing has never been heard from Xie's family .Ah, it seems that Ning Jijiu has come to Xie's mansion.

Li Xuan didn't mind talking to Xie Moru about the lively things outside, anyway, everyone knew, Li Xuandao, "Mr. Beiling brought a lot of treasured classics to donate to Hanlin last year, and now it's done. At the beginning of the new year, I went to the palace to give a banquet. His Majesty intended to invite Mr. Beiling to be the tutor of the prince, but Mr. Beiling declined. Now I want to go back to my hometown, but Ning offered wine several times to keep him but failed. I heard that Mr. Beiling will return to his hometown in Jiangzhou at the end of the month. "

Xie Moru asked, "Wouldn't Ning sacrifice the wine to keep Mr. Beiling?"

"That's right." Li Xuan whispered, "Recently, the tombs of the former dynasty have been stolen frequently. His Majesty is kind enough to order someone to restore the stolen tombs of the former dynasty and send someone to take care of them. Mr. Beiling went to sacrifice For once, I still have to go back to Jiangzhou."

Ning Jijiu has played all his cards, but Jiangbeiling is still not left. It is strange that he is going to come to Shangshufu.What does Shangshufu mean?The Shangshu Mansion is absolutely on the same side as His Majesty, and the Shang Shufu deliberately concealed this matter from himself, ah, I think His Majesty wants Jiang Beiling to stay in the imperial capital.

Xie Moru asked Li Xuan again, "Does the court really want Mr. Beiling to stay?"

Li Xuan said softly, "Your Majesty wants you to stay in the imperial capital."

Xie Moru thought carefully, "There is no one in the world who cannot be moved."

Li Xuan sighed, "When the late emperor was in power, he personally extended the invitation, but Mr. Beiling still insisted on returning to Jiangzhou."

Xie Moru looked at Li Xuan and asked, "If there is a way, Mr. Beiling can stay in the imperial capital, but I'm afraid he won't hold a real position in the court, is it possible?"

Li Xuandao, "Your Majesty can't even allow the old man to build the former court mausoleum. If my sister really has a way, she will really make a great contribution to the court."

Xie Moru smiled, "I'm a girl, so what's the use of such a feat. Today's son is a coincidence, if you don't tell me about Mr. Beiling, I won't know. I'm only [-]% sure of this method , the prince is willing to give it a try, let alone mention me."

Li Xuan said seriously, "If the method is useless, it's fine not to mention my sister. If the method is useful, how can I monopolize this work?"

Xie Moru smiled, "I heard that there are seven assistant ministers in the cabinet. If there is something undecided, the seven ministers each have their own ideas. I don't know how His Majesty will make a decision? It is also like a wealthy mansion, there are staff and military advisers. I don’t know how to choose the master’s idea? The prince feels that it is greedy for my work, but he doesn’t know that if I change someone, even if I think about it, I’m afraid I won’t speak rashly. It is my idea, whether it is useful or useless, it is up to the prince to choose Yes. This is the son's own decision."

Li Xuan's heart is bright, but he is still very hesitant.

Xie Moru said, "I don't want people to know that it was my idea, and I don't want more people to pay attention to me."

Li Xuandao, "I can't hide it from my sister, and I can't hide it from you. I know my sister's idea is not bad. However, since my sister has a clever plan, if you don't tell it to Xie Shangshu, Xie Shangshu is also magnanimous."

Xie Moru smiled, "I know about Mr. Beiling from my son, my grandfather has his own magnanimity, and he should not care about small things."

Li Xuan is not stupid, knowing Xie Moru told him that there must be some intentions, finally nodded, "Okay."

Xie Moru's idea to Li Xuan was very simple, neither the mausoleum nor the history of the previous dynasty should be repaired, Xie Moru only said, "I look at history books, during the Dafeng Dynasty, Emperor Fengwu built a library for folk scholars to borrow. It is indeed a merit through the ages, and it has been passed down to this day as a good story. When the first emperor ascended the throne, he said that he should be Emperor Fengwu. If your majesty can follow what Fengwu did back then, the building of the library must be entrusted to someone of high moral standing. Great Confucianism has done a good job, ask Mr. Beiling, if he is willing to take charge of the building of the library?"

Li Xuan went home with this idea in his heart, discussed it with his father first, and then went to the palace to talk to his emperor's uncle.The two generations of Emperor Mu Yuan and his son were closed doors on Jiang Beiling, and said to Li Xuandao in private, "This matter should not be publicized for now. You can ask Jiang Beiling in private, would you be willing to preside over this matter?" Emperor Yuan listened to Xin Ning's vow to keep Jiangbeiling, and wanted to leave a shining point in his ruling career, so that he would not be unable to step down now.The history of the former dynasty has also started to be revised, and the imperial tombs of the former dynasty have been tidied up. Nima Jiangbeiling has to go back to his hometown.If it weren't for extreme restraint, Emperor Mu Yuan would really send Jiang Beiling back to his "hometown" in person.Of course, this "hometown" is not that hometown.

Now that his nephew brought a new idea, Emperor Mu Yuan didn't want to make it public, otherwise Jiang would shake his head again, and his dragon face would have nowhere to go, so he simply asked his nephew to ask old man Jiang in private first, and then speak when he has confidence. Save yourself being slapped in the face again.After all, it is really uncomfortable to control the desire to attack an old man who has beaten their father and son for two generations.

So, pretending to be X is not easy.

Emperor Mu Yuan sent nephew Li away, he didn't want to get Jiangbeiling's letter of approval on the third day, the old man agreed.Emperor Mu Yuan was overjoyed, and specially said to Princess Wenkang, "As Xuan grows up, he will become more capable."

Princess Wenkang said, "Brother Huang is like this, it makes it difficult for me to tell the truth to Brother Huang."

Emperor Mu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Why, what's the inside story?"

Princess Wenkang took the tea from the servant, waved them away, and told the truth to Emperor Mu Yuan, "It turned out that Ah Xuan went to Xie's house and told Xie Moru about old man Jiang. Xie Moru gave him the He didn't have any ideas. He went home to discuss with his father. His father thought there was something he could do, so he came to talk to Brother Huang. If it's something else, I don't need to waste a lot of time to talk to Brother Huang. It's just that the girl always has some unspeakable feelings, so I need to be more cautious."

Emperor Mu Yuan smiled, "She really looks a bit like Aunt Ning Ping."

Princess Wenkang didn't want to mention this more, and said, "Anyway, tell Brother Huang, Brother Huang has a bottom line in his heart."

"Ah Xuan and Mo Ru are very close."

"Yes, how about that girl tell Ah Xuan about this good idea. Why didn't she tell you, obviously she is not familiar with you. Why didn't she tell Xie Shangshu, obviously Xie Shangshu offended her." Wen Kang The eldest princess said to herself, "This is not like what Xie Shangshu did. I always thought that guy was cunning and ghostly."

Emperor Mu Yuan coughed lightly, "Xie Qing is an important minister in the court, please pay attention to your tone."

Princess Wenkang disapproved, and said, "If the emperor knows how Xie Shangshu offended Xie Moru, you can tell me and clear up my doubts." But Xie Moru is still eating Xie's food, why not? Tell her son such a good idea?After Princess Wenkang said what she had to say, she got up and said goodbye to the Palace of Mercy.

Princess Wenkang was dressed in a rich and brocade dress, with a long skirt meandering over the gorgeous lichen, and light-colored thin lips with a slight curvature.Xie Moru did give her son a good idea, and indeed resolved the deadlock of the emperor's brother.However, Xie Moru's identity is too sensitive, and her eldest princess's identity is also too sensitive, so there is no chance for people to take advantage of it.
