Xie Changqing was so troubled by his wife's endless calculations this morning, "How can I know this? I'm not the prince, let alone the official minister.
Otherwise, I can take a red pen and circle your son's name directly, and then write the title of general."
Anshi suddenly became furious, "Do you know what you are talking about? That is your son, that is our eldest son, and even the hope of our Xie family.
Aren’t you a person who talks about your family and honor all the time? Why are you acting like a mouthless gourd at this time? "
Xie Changqing only felt tired and panicked at his wife's nonsense, but no one knew his wife's temperament better than him.
That is to say, he habitually keeps nagging, but in the final analysis, he is still worried about the child.
Xie Changqing couldn't blame her, comfort him, etc., I'm afraid it would make her think too much.
Then he smiled and said, "I'm not wrong! I'm just an idler, and I just have the reputation of being a scholar. Can I still control the affairs of the court?"
This was telling the truth, but An didn't want to hear the truth, so she immediately said "poof".
In the past, I didn’t know and didn’t understand you Xie family very well, but you can’t think I’m stupid! You really think I can’t see it!
You and your two younger brothers are basically the same. Although no one is in the court, you don't know anything about the court?
Moreover, I finally found out that you said you wanted to be a layabout, just a hammer here and a mallet somewhere all day long, but are you really just having fun?
Don't say those lists of yours are fake! I've never seen anyone go out and have a list of people to eat with."
These words really surprised Xie Changqing. He raised his eyebrows and looked at his wife, and then said with a smile: "It seems that I have been looking at the wrong wife all along."
"Hmph!" Anshi snorted honestly and rudely, "Don't give me these. Please tell me to come out. This time my son takes a step forward. Is there any chance?"
Xie Changqing couldn't help but frown, with a rather embarrassed expression on his face, "You... what do you want me to say... I really don't know!"
"You have to know even if you don't know!" An said while she was dissatisfied with her husband's inaction, and at the same time a little nervous that she hadn't done enough, "Mr. Nalang's wife invited me to a tea party and said that the third wife of the Wen family would also go.
Do you think I should go and inquire at this time to see what the third wife likes? I heard that the fifth girl of the Wen family... ah no, she is the princess now. She has always been close to the third wife. If she can be with her,
Because of the relationship, she could be allowed to speak for her son in front of the Crown Princess even if it was impossible.
The Crown Princess and His Highness the Crown Prince had their current fate because of a chance encounter. It can be seen that His Highness the Crown Prince was satisfied with the Crown Princess as long as she had a kind word in front of His Highness.
When the time comes to discuss merit and reward in the main hall, why should our son have a share of the pie? Do you think this is the truth?"
Xie Changqing was simply stunned by this series of words from his wife. He went back and forth a lot, but in the end it was just for this.
"Don't you think it would be faster if you just inquire about the prince's preferences and then try to please him?"
Before An could react, he added, "Or, simply go and find out about the preferences of the fifth girl from the Wen family, and then use your son's name to meet them. Maybe they will also like it."
I’ll have a good relationship with you!”
Just now I wanted to refute Xie Changqing, after all, it is so easy to please the prince.
But there seems to be some truth to what is said later.
"That's right! By the way, have you asked your third brother when the good times are set? Will he leave the court from the Wen family? I have to see if I have a chance to meet him, and I can't delay this matter.
"
Seeing that she was really serious about planning, Xie Changqing couldn't help but raise his forehead. Sometimes he really didn't understand his wife's brain circuit.
"Oh! That's all, I think you should just sit at home peacefully! The Wen family is still worried about what will happen to their boy on the battlefield, but you have already taken into account the merits of his child's war!
But if you give something else away, not only will it fail to win the joy of others, but it will actually make the other person fearful and resentful of you. When the time comes, you will say a few words in front of His Highness, and your son will be excluded."
An was startled and wanted to refute immediately, but before she could refute, she felt that what her husband said seemed to make sense.
"so what should I do now?"
Xie Changqing took out a volume of book from under the cushion next to him. He had just opened a page and had not read a word in it when he heard his wife say this again.
"Don't you think it would be better for you to remain silent at this time, to be at home peacefully, to be filial to your elders, and to take care of things at home clearly?"
Anshi rolled her eyes when she saw her husband starting to read again, "You are really hopeless, you don't know what you are thinking about all day long.
I’m not against you putting your family first. You are the ancestors of your Xie family and so on. After all, you are a father, so you have to think about your children!
At such an important moment right now, you still remember to read this book, I really don’t want to say a word more to you."
Not wanting to say more and delaying his time for most of the day, Xie Changqing cursed in his heart.
But in the end, he still didn't say it. After all, this opening would probably take a long time.
Convinced that her husband could not get any useful information, An could only turn to her mother-in-law for help.
Although my mother-in-law doesn't like me and often looks down on me in Shou'an Hall, no matter what, my mother-in-law's vision and knowledge are still longer than my own.
Maybe I can get some good advice from her.
With this thought in her mind, An didn't waste any time and ran to Shou'an Hall happily.
Halfway through, I saw the carriage from the second room leaving.
She couldn't help but stop in her footsteps, "Second brother is not in the house these days, who is going out of the house?"
Judging by the appearance of the carriage, you knew it wasn't those concubines.
The mother-in-law on the side took a look and said with a smile: "My wife has a lot of things to do, and she is worried about the son's safety these days, so she forgot about it. Didn't I report this matter a few days ago?
The second wife is a little upset today and wants to stay in another courtyard for a few days. The old lady has already agreed and told her about it."
