Chapter 637 Could it be that Mrs. Xie is not the same?
The gathering at Fan Yue Tower lasted all afternoon. Some people gathered together to drink tea and chat, some played cards, some played chess, etc. Since many more people came later, Prince Cao asked the waiter in the building to bring the elegant guest next door to the party.
The space is also freed up.
The people in the room were noisy, which was really noisy. Rong Ci was so noisy that he wanted to leave several times, but he held it back.
His brother was right in what he said. These people are the most well-informed. As long as they sit in this party for an afternoon, they can know about the news outside the Imperial City, not to mention the big and small news in the Imperial City.
Eighty-eight, and most of them are true.
Next, some people reached cooperation, made friendly relations, exchanged resources, etc. while talking and laughing. I don’t know how many people wanted to participate but had no chance.
Prince Cao led his cousin Cao Jiankong to get to know everyone, Rong Xun also found old friends to talk with them, Xie Yu was playing cards with others, and Rong Ci played chess with the eldest son of the Xu family.
Young Master Xu is Xu Pingting's elder brother Xu Chengjin. He is two years older than Rong Ci. He is a reserved and taciturn young master. His chess skills are outstanding in the Imperial City. Few among the younger generation can compare with him.
character.
Rong Ci played chess with him, but they were evenly matched.
The Imperial City has never lacked outstanding sons from aristocratic families. Among the younger generation are Cao Shizi, Gu Zhixuan, Xie Jin, Xu Chengjin and so on.
The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, the brazier in the house is burning, and the waiters in the building have replenished the charcoal several times. The windows are open, and some people are looking at Bibo Lake and admiring the snowy scenery on the river. People in the private room next door even started to call it "snow".
Compose a poem on the topic.
After the ceremony, people started to disperse one after another, but most of them were reluctant to leave and wanted to communicate more and exchange feelings.
After Rong Ci and Xu Chengjin finished playing the second game, they felt that today was about the same. If they wanted to play another game, it would be dark after the game, so they made an appointment to play another day. At this moment, they heard a burst of noise coming from the private room next door.
Noise.
Someone opened the door to look and saw Xu Qinggen pulling a woman away and hurried downstairs.
When the good guy came back from the play, he talked about what had happened. It turned out that the person who came here was none other than Xu Qinggen's wife Liu, who was also his cousin.
Because this marriage was forced, and she used all possible means to save her face, although Xu Qinggen got her back, it was always lukewarm, and the relationship between the couple was not good. Mrs. Xu felt that Xu Qinggen was still thinking about it.
He was looking for another noble girl to be his wife and kicked her away. He was very suspicious.
No, I heard that he followed Gu Zhixuan to Fan Yue Tower and didn't leave all day long. He thought these young men were gathering here to do something shameful, so he led his men to kill them.
Xu Qinggen was anxious and angry. He felt extremely embarrassed and was afraid that she would be even more embarrassed if she continued to make trouble, so he had to take her away quickly.
Everyone sighed after hearing this.
"It's a pity that Xu edited and compiled." Xu Qinggen was the number one scholar and was awarded the post of editor in the Hanlin Academy, ranking sixth grade.
If the house is not repaired and the inner house is unstable, it is difficult to have any future. Just like today, when she went out to drink tea and chat with her friends, she would come over to make a scene, feeling that the man was looking for a woman outside behind her back.
Who would still want to associate with her man?
Xu Qinggen came from a poor family, and His Majesty granted him the title of Number One Scholar. He was obviously very optimistic about him. If there were no mistakes, he would have had a good arrangement after he had stayed in the Hanlin Academy for three years. It is hard to say now.
"It is said that marrying a virtuous wife, taking concubines and having sex, not to mention whether they are virtuous or not, can't be so unreasonable."
"Previously, everyone thought that Xu Zhuangyuan wanted to kick his uncle's family away and deny the marriage once he became the number one scholar. Now it seems that there is something hidden?"
"Who knows..."
Rong Ci, Rong Xun, Xie Jin and Xie Yu went downstairs together, said goodbye to each other, and then prepared to leave.
Xie Yu was babbling: "Little uncle, after the Chinese New Year, remember to bring our little aunt back. We miss her." He didn't feel like calling someone who was only a few years older than him at all.
There is nothing embarrassing about being an uncle, and he is very eager to look forward to it.
Rong Ci also knew what kind of character this man was, so he glanced at him and agreed calmly. After a while, Xie Jin dragged him into the carriage and left.
After Rong Xun got on the carriage, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This mistress of the Xie family really doesn't look like the Xie family." He had never seen anyone in the Xie family who talked so much and was so jumpy.
Rong Ci said calmly: "Probably like his grandfather."
"His grandfather? Mr. Xie Ge?" Rong Xun raised his eyebrows, somewhat disbelieving, "I remember that Mr. Xie Ge was a very calm and elegant man when he was young."
Rong Ci thought to himself, you have never seen the way this ancestor let himself go after resigning from office.
"Could it be that Mr. Xie is different from what he looks like?" Rong Xun asked.
Rong Ci glanced at his eldest brother, and then said: "Although they are similar, duplicity doesn't seem to be a good word."
"Then the appearance is different from the inside." Rong Xun thought about it and laughed, "It's quite lively to deal with the Xie family, isn't it?"
That's it for the rest of the Xie family, but Old Man Xie, Xie Yu, and Xie Yiling are really difficult to deal with. Not to mention Old Man Xie's inconsistency, but he used to be a person who only recognized his own truth, and other people's
To ignore him and ignore you is, to put it bluntly, to admit death and not be unreasonable.
This can be seen in Xie Yiling.
After Rong Ci and Xie Yixiao got married, Xie Yiling would come to Rong Guogong's mansion when he had free time and play with Rong Jing Rongxuan. Although this boy was not good at fighting, he taught one thing after another.
Xie Yu is smart and full of lies, and he can also play and jump up and down. Rong Xun also has some friendship with him, and he feels that this kid seems to be poisonous. He originally asked him to play with Rong Ci, but he didn't expect that he would
He hooked into the Xie family and became his son-in-law.
"It's really lively."
The two brothers returned to Duke Rong's mansion. Rong Ci remembered that before Xie Yixiao went to see Princess Qinghua today, he had said that he would bring back two plum blossoms for him. However, he never returned and went straight out. The plum blossoms were not yet there.
Do you know if there are any more.
So he diverted to the Plum Grove and broke off two plum blossoms before returning to the Spring Garden.
It was not yet Unity hour (17 o'clock) when he came back. The winter days were short, it was still snowing, and the sky was already dark. Xie Yixiao hadn't eaten yet, so he sat on the Arhat chair and continued to read the script he had read this morning.
When I heard the footsteps and saw him lifting the curtain and walking in, I was immediately happy: "Are you back?"
Seeing that he was holding two plum branches in his hand, he immediately lost the mood to continue reading the storybook. He stood up and walked over: "You also went to Merlin?"
Rong Ci handed the plum branches to her, then took off his cloak and hung it on a shelf nearby: "I stopped by when I came back. I heard you talk about it today, so I thought about picking two."
"When you fold it for me, I'm afraid the plum blossoms will wither."
