Chapter 173 Being a Parent

Author: six silent

Because Xie Lin'an, Prince Ning'an's son, personally ransacked the house of his own mother and grandmother's trusted servants, Prince Ning'an's house was finally rich enough to celebrate the New Year.

Xie Lin'an waited for various villagers to send New Year's gifts. He waited until the end of the twelfth lunar month to find out that even his mother and his wife's dowry from the village had already been collected by the steward sent by his grandmother and sent to England. The east cross courtyard of the prince's son.

"Forget it about the others, I know I can't pursue it, but how come my mother and daughter-in-law's dowry from Zhuangzi has become Zhao Qinyang's?"

Zhao Surui was wearing a suit, sitting on a desk chair with his legs crossed, holding pine nuts in his hand and eating them carefully. Hearing him complain like this, he couldn't help but smile coldly:

"When you forced your wife to take the money, why didn't you think about whose dowry it was? Now you have the shame to criticize others?"

Xie Lin'an blushed and his temper dropped by 90%. He carefully sat down on an embroidered pier:

"It's just that I'm anxious. I thought I could send Mrs. Shen some rare new year goods."

Zhao Surui rolled his eyes: "You don't have to use me as an excuse. Do you think I don't know what you are trying to do to make money? Do what I tell you first."

"Yes, yes." Xie Lin'an nodded repeatedly, "Ms. Shen, you have also read the letters that my mother kept between my father and the Prince of England, but you really can't see anything. I also went to my father's study to read the letters he had written in the past. I’ve read the letter and it’s nothing important.”

"What do you think your father is doing? After all, it's a big deal that will cost you your head. If you just casually leave some evidence that people can find, he won't be in Beizhen Fusi now, but in the Palace of Hell. "

"Yes, yes!" Xie Lin'an nodded again and again, "I was so eager to make meritorious deeds that I lost my sense of proportion."

Zhao Surui snorted again.

Ever since he knew how dirty Xie Wenyuan was in private, he felt dirty looking at his two sons. If they hadn't been kept for some use, he wouldn't have wanted to take a look at them.

Seeing the disgust on "Ms. Shen's" face, Xie Lin'an sat upright.

Xie Wenyuan secretly raised virgins for his own pleasure. Xie Lin'an also knew about it. In fact, such things were not uncommon among the rich and powerful in Yanjing City. Not to mention virgins, they specially raised children under ten years old for their own pleasure. It's not like there are no mean people. In the past, he only thought that such things were no big deal. At most, they made people feel a little disgusted. After all, everyone has been in a high family for more than a hundred years, and they were human beings when they were born. Master, if you are done being a human being, then becoming a beast is just a bit of fun.

However, when his eldest daughter Xie Shenniang, who was only in her teens this year, told him that his grandfather had wanted to hold her and teach her to write, Xie Lin'an vomited.

He really vomited. He vomited all the brown rice he had eaten for lunch along with two meat and one vegetable dishes. The red date and pigeon soup that Gu specially asked the cook to stew for him to replenish his health all ended up in his throat. Residue sprayed out.

He stared at those scum, and for the first time in his life, he hoped that his father would die in Fusi, Beizhen, and go to the eighteenth level of hell to be tortured and never be reincarnated.

"When I first came here a few days ago, Zhao Qinyang sent someone to dig the lotus roots in the pond, but I stopped him and sent them back. I remember that the lotus flowers in this pond were planted after your grandmother married and came to Beijing."

"Yes." Xie Lin'an turned around and answered quickly, fearing that others would think he was being neglectful.

"Then you find some people to dig out this pond."

Holding a pine nut between his middle and index fingers, Zhao Surui had a calm expression on his face.

"Dig, dig lotus roots?"

"Yes, dig out the entire lotus pond for me. I want to see what's underneath."

Xie Lin'an looked a little embarrassed. Everyone knows that digging a lotus pond in the middle of winter is hard work.

"Ms. Shen, forget about the others. You, Qingfengxu, are digging by the pond. You will be disturbed here."

"It doesn't matter, I just want to have some fun for myself."

Zhao Surui waved his hand: "Will Xie Fengan still be honest when I follow you now?"

"Be honest, be honest." I'm just about to bow to that gray donkey!

"Your mother, your brother, and your wife are all under your control. If anyone dares to mess up my affairs, I will send him to Beizhen Fusi to be with your bastard father."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Xie Lin'an carefully thought about "Ms. Shen's" face. After a moment, he said cautiously:

"Ms. Shen, I have a favor to ask of you."

Zhao Surui didn't even raise his eyelids: "Say it."

Xie Lin'an stood up and left the room. After a while, he led a girl in men's clothes and walked in.

Zhao Surui still remembered that this little girl was Xie Lin'an's eldest daughter, Sister Shen, a very successful little girl.

"Ms. Shen, you are a very capable person. Even the girl around you is extraordinary. I beg you to take this girl in and make her a maid."

After saying that, Xie Lin'an pushed Sister Shen to the ground and asked her to kowtow to "Mrs. Shen".

Zhao Surui, who was under the skin of "Ms. Shen", raised his eyebrows.

Looking at Xie Lin'an, and then at Sister Shen who had a bruise on her head, he curled up the corners of his lips:

"Xie Lin'an, are you good at abacus?"

Xie Lin'an was speechless and could only smile bitterly.

To be honest, if possible, he would rather tie up all his concubines and make them slaves to Madam Shen.

The Xie family was involved in the serious crime of treason. Even if he could escape the crime and escape, the Ning'an Mansion would no longer exist. Naturally, his sons would no longer be children of aristocratic families. Mrs. Shen's hands and eyes were extremely well-connected, and she was capable. If her ability to train people caught her eye and gave her some guidance, maybe his son would be able to turn around one day.

It's a pity that his legitimate son has been sent to the academy by his mother-in-law. Among the several concubines, the eldest Brother Huai has offended Madam Shen, and the younger two are either timid or stupid. And considering that Madam Shen has always been kind to the little girls. , and also taught them how to read and practice martial arts, so Xie Linan chose his daughter.

Sister Shen, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed to her majestic "second aunt" again.

"Niang Xie Shen has met... girl."

"You've changed your mind really quickly. It seems like it's not enough if I don't accept you. From now on, you will follow... Tunan has Chunxin and Xiaobao, and Peifeng has Sanliang..."

Zhao Surui pondered in his heart, Achi hated the Xie family deeply, and asking her to take care of Xie Wenyuan's granddaughter was really embarrassing for her.

"Girl, if you are willing, please leave her to me."

Chuiyun, who happened to come into the house today to reconcile the accounts, had been standing aside and spoke at this moment.

"you?"

Of course, Zhao Surui didn't disbelieve in Chuiyun's abilities. Each of Shen Shiqing's girls was more powerful than the last. This Chuiyun was as smart and courageous as Tunan, so he must be quite capable in private.

But Zhao Surui couldn't figure out why such a slippery and ungrateful lady who had changed her family was willing to accept a child from the Xie family.

Chuiyun seemed to see his confusion and just smiled and said: "The girl wanted to open two shops in Yanjing City before. The eldest princess of Yueqing said that she is willing to provide us with some silk and satin. No matter what the girl wants herself

Whether it's dyeing or selling their products directly, it's still a living. To open a shop, we must have some talents who can settle accounts. Those raised in Zhuangzi are not good enough after all. The ladies of the Xie family are always good at settling accounts.

Those who have learned it are better than others."

Zhao Surui felt that what Chuiyun said was reasonable. After the Xie family was convicted, Xie Shenniang could not be a female official, so it would be good for her to learn some business methods to support herself.

He lowered his eyes and asked the little girl kneeling on the ground:

"Are you willing?"

Xie Shenniang said in a deep voice: "Girl, I have ordered you to do your best."

As she spoke, she remembered the way her father looked at her when he called her over today.

"Mother Shen, your luck may be better than that of your brothers. If one day you gain a firm foothold, don't forget your brothers."

When she was led into "Qingfengxu", Xie Shenniang knew what this meant.

Her father begged her second aunt to take her in.

Not the overbearing and overbearing Xie Huaining, not the timid Xie Jining, not the four-year-old Xie Luoning, nor the madam's two sons Xie Jiangning and Xie Hening.

It's her, it's her, Xie Shenniang.

She knew that just because her second aunt preferred girls, she, a girl, had a chance.

Just like countless times in the past, her grandfather and father preferred boys, so her brothers could go to school, go out to have fun, and inherit the family business.

"Then you can follow Chuiyun and stay in Shen's house temporarily."

"Yes, girl."

Seeing the two of them answering questions and answering questions, Xie Lin'an felt like a master and servant, and suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.

He tried his best to please Mrs. Shen, but in the final analysis, he couldn't compare to his young and beautiful daughter, who could have a bright future by calling her "girl" sweetly.

Feeling jealous of his own daughter, Xie Lin'an was about to leave, when things started to get busy outside again.

"Girl, the palace has assigned an angel* to deliver the Queen's instructions!"

Angel? Queen's dictation?

Zhao Surui frowned.

Could it be that Shen Sanfai knew what was going on between the King of England and his son? He couldn't even wait for them to meet in a dream?

He thought a lot, and when he finally saw the "will", the corners of his lips twitched.

Xie Lin'an on the side was stretching his neck like a bastard. No matter how you look at it, the decree was just for Shen Shiqing to enter the palace to pay respects to the Queen during the Chinese New Year.

"Shen, Mrs. Shen, have you caught the attention of noble people? You will rise to greatness right before your eyes?"

Zhao Surui sneered and put his will aside.

"If you really want to do it, just cut it off yourself."

Lin Miaozhen must have summoned him to the palace under Shen Sanfei's instigation. Now Sister Lin probably knew that Zhao Surui had been occupied by someone and could only be a woman in such a soft and powerless woman's body.

Zhao Surui felt a headache when he thought of wearing a skirt to see Lin Miaozhen, who already knew his identity.

*The person who delivers messages to the emperor is also called an angel. This is not a borrowed word. In fact, neither is God.

No responsibility extra 7

Even if he can't eat meat, Zhao Surui finds that his taste has changed now. He used to love meat and sweets, but now he doesn't like sweets, and instead likes some things that he would never eat before.

Yes, in Jiangnan, Zhao Surui fell in love with eating wild vegetables.

He couldn't stop eating the wine and herbs, the reed sprouts fried with garlic, and the wontons wrapped in shepherd's purse.

After every meal, Emperor Zhaode felt a little sad.

"You guys, could it be that you were reincarnated by a rabbit?"

He stared at his still flat belly.
