Chapter 323 After all, having a heart is a good start
"What's the matter?" Xie Yiling thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was nothing serious, so he replied, "It's pretty good."
Rong Ci glanced at him, a little disbelieving, and asked him: "Nothing happened at Changninghou's Mansion yesterday, right? I heard that people from Prince Ning's Mansion also went there."
Xie Yiling blinked, a little doubtful: "How do you know this?"
Xie Yiling knew some things about the Changning Marquis Mansion, but not much. He didn't know what happened at Yunzhong Temple, and he didn't know how much trouble there was in Gu You, but he knew that Gu Yi, the girl from the second room of the Changning Marquis Mansion, had entered
She moved to Prince Ning's Mansion and became a concubine.
The girl came back yesterday, but was stopped outside the door and left in dejection.
Xie Yiling was disdainful of Gu Yi in his heart. She was a noble daughter of a noble family, but she was not the eldest daughter of a concubine. She could still get a good marriage, so why bother to be a concubine?
Even if they are high-ranking, wealthy and powerful, so what if a concubine is just making a living in the hands of the mistress, how many of them can live a good life?
There are no concubines in the Xie family. Even the girls from the side branch are looking for a clean scholar or a family who is settled in a wealthy family. All arrangements have been made.
Rong Ci thought to himself, if you want to know, you can naturally find out.
Xie Yixiao is in the Xie family, and Rong Ci is relieved. Although the Xie family values the interests of the family, they will not cheat their own family. They value mutual benefit and win-win, and harmony brings wealth.
Now that Xie Yixiao was engaged to him, no one in the Xie family would dare to let her suffer any injustice. On the contrary, it was the Changning Marquis Mansion that was worrying. So when he learned that she had gone to the Changning Marquis Mansion, he
Make people stare.
"The man also left later without even entering. This matter is still a matter of the Changning Marquis Mansion. What does it have to do with us?"
Rong Ci thought for a while and found that this was indeed the case. What Gu Yi wanted to do was all the matter of Marquis Changning and had nothing to do with Xie Yixiao.
Thinking about it, he was concerned and confused. After what happened last time, he was always worried about what kind of injustice she would suffer when she returned to the Changning Marquis Mansion, and he couldn't help but think about it in his heart.
Rong Ci squeezed the blue and white tea cup: "What you said is that I overthink."
Xie Yiling rolled his eyes and looked at the other person's cold and handsome face with some curiosity. After a long time, he sighed: "Are you caring about my sister?"
This kid finally came to his senses.
Rong Ci glanced at him indifferently, as if to say, "I know, but I still ask."
Seeing this, Xie Yiling smiled with satisfaction: "Don't worry, my sister is doing well."
Although Xie Yiling always thought that this future brother-in-law was here to steal his sister, he was not really ignorant. Because of the man's high status in this marriage, he was still slightly worried in his heart, fearing that his sister would suffer after marrying him.
Wronged.
For this reason, since Xie Yixiao got engaged, he has worked harder on reading.
Now I see that Rong Ci looks cold and indifferent, but he actually knows how to care about others, which can be regarded as caring.
Having a heart is better than not having a heart. After all, having a heart is a good start.
Xie Yiling stretched out his hand to cover his face, feeling that he could still accept this brother-in-law, but it mainly depends on his future performance.
Rong Ci felt that this boy was smiling a little inexplicably, and couldn't help but ask: "Why are you laughing?"
"Nothing, nothing." Xie Yiling was happy for a moment and then straightened his face.
Rong Ci thought for a while and felt that children always have some weird ideas in their minds, so he simply ignored him.
Rong Jiu didn't see his girl Xie that day.
He was a guest, so it was not good to go looking for someone secretly. It was really not the behavior of a gentleman. Moreover, there were many guests in the house today, and men and women were having separate banquets. Xie Yixiao was busy entertaining the guests and had no time to come to him.
He was also busy dealing with everyone's greetings and toasts. He drank a lot at the banquet. Although he was still clear when he left, his ears were quite red.
On the second day, Xie Yixiao went to Rong Guogong's mansion to pay New Year greetings, and the two finally met each other.
When Xie Yixiao came, he had gone on an errand. She sat with Mrs. Rong Guogong and Ming for a while, and played another game of chess. She heard people from outside reporting that he was back, but that he was not going to Chunting Garden.
Went.
Mrs. Rong Guogong smiled and said to Xie Yi: "How come he never has a free day for such a bad job? He has to run out every day in this cold weather. I made some ginger soup in the kitchen. I asked him to
The man has prepared some, so you can bring it to him and let him drink it to prevent him from getting cold."
The job of Wuchengsi is a test. There are really many and complicated things, many of which involve many people in the Imperial City. It is a bit difficult to deal with it. If someone with no background takes this position, it will really be difficult.
It's thankless.
However, noble gentlemen like these who are pretty good at it have become more sophisticated in their ideas and methods after working in it for several years. It is a place where people can be tempered.
Xie Yixiao was a little worried when he heard this: "Will the Ninth Young Master also be on duty recently?"
Is this an errand for the Chinese New Year?
Your Majesty will no longer go to court on the 23rd day of the lunar month. If there are no major events, he will let all officials stay until the eighth day of the next lunar month. Only one or two people from each department will take turns to be on duty.
Recently, Xie Yian, Xie Yizhen, and Xie Jin are all at home a lot. Does Ninth Young Master still have to be on duty every day?
Xie Yixiao couldn't help but get worried: "Why do you have to be on duty every day? Is there no one on duty?"
Duke Rongguo said: "They are the only two who can take charge. Even if they have to take turns, it's just one day each."
If she didn't want to temper that brat's temper, Mrs. Rong Guogong really didn't want him to take over this position.
Xie Yi smiled and opened her mouth. She wanted to say, since it's so hard, let's stop doing it, but we can't just give up the burden halfway. That's called failure.
Moreover, this errand was arranged by His Majesty himself, so he did not want Rong Ci to hone his skills.
Xie Yixiao remembered that when this position was in the book, it was given to King Huainan. Although it was a busy position in the imperial city and not a very high position, King Huainan took this opportunity to give convenience to some powerful people and help them.
Many people, like this, laid a lot of foundation for his hegemony.
Xie Yixiao didn't want to take advantage of King Huainan.
She wished that King Huainan could never control power for the rest of his life and just hang around like this. The current King Huainan had to weigh the gains and losses even against the Changning Marquis Mansion.
At this moment, the maid brought a suitcase, and Xie Yixiao's face turned red: "Mrs. Madam, I'm going to see him."
Mrs. Rong Guogong laughed twice: "Go, go, let him finish his drink and come over quickly."
