Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang's mother couldn't help but feel more and more worried. "What's wrong with the old man? Who is here?"
Jiang's father looked at his wife, then looked at the person outside the crack in the door, and did not dare to open the door without authorization.
Instead, he walked to his wife, lowered his voice and said, "It's that one."
The monk Jiang’s mother, the second monk, was confused and turned his eyes to him, "Don’t you say anything well? Which one is that?"
"It's... it's Yao Niang's father."
Jiang's mother realized who he was talking about, and was shocked, "This New Year's Day, what did he come to us to do? Yao Niang is not here, can she still talk to us?"
Jiang's father didn't know how to answer his wife, and he also felt very nervous.
Although his daughter also called this person a father, she was the chief minister of the dynasty, which is what others said was the biggest official in the world.
"Then what should we do now?"
Jiang's mother thought for a while and said, "This New Year's Day does not mean that the guests will stop outside the door. If you go, I'm not afraid of him even if you ask him to come in.
We didn't do anything bad, so why are we afraid that he would be a high-ranking official? Besides, didn't Yao Niang say that? No matter what, we are both her parents, and even if there is anything, Yao Niang can argue with him."
That being said, but I don’t have any confidence.
Jiang's father looked at his wife again, feeling that her words sounded very unconvincing.
But he also felt that his wife was right, how could he keep others outside during the New Year?
So he went forward and opened the door.
Seeing Xie Yuncang walking in with brocade, the couple were both nervous and stood aside with their hands hanging down.
"It's been a big New Year, I'm disturbing."
Xie Yuncang's voice sounded very polite, and he did not have the airs of the greatest official in the dynasty at all.
The Jiang couple couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Jiang's father said dryly, "You're welcome."
Jiang's mother gave her man a blank look. She was a bit rational, "Is there anything wrong with you here today?"
Xie Yuncang was looking at the small house where the couple lived.
It was similar to what he imagined, and it should be something Xie Songhua could do.
"Oh, come and have a look."
The Jiang couple looked at each other and didn't understand what he meant.
What did he, a high-ranking official, go to their house to see?
Xie Yuncang smiled and said, "It's time for the New Year to visit relatives, but I don't know which house to go to at this time. I happened to pass by here, so I thought about coming over to see you."
As he said that, he went into the house without waiting for anyone to greet him.
Where have Jiang’s father and mother seen such casual guests?
I didn't care about anything else immediately, and the two of them quickly followed and went in.
"Sir Xie, you...you..." Jiang's mother hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Do you drink tea?"
Did Xie Yuncang seem very happy to hear this sentence? "Then I'll disturb you."
Jiang Hu curled his lips and muttered: "I'm not polite at all."
Jiang's mother really brewed a cup of tea. It was sent by Xie Songhua. They didn't know what kind of tea it was, but it was quite fragrant. Jiang's father liked it and stayed.
Jiang's mother thought this was not good. Her daughter was the princess, so the material conditions were naturally different from them.
But if you get used to such filial piety of your daughter, wouldn’t it go against their original intention?
But after rejecting too much, I was afraid that my daughter would feel uncomfortable, so I did not refuse too much.
Xie Yuncang took a sip and said with a smile: "Fortunately, this girl Songhua didn't go too far. It would be unfilial to let you live in such a house and not give you some good tea."
Jiang's father couldn't hear such words and immediately said coldly: "What are you talking about? My daughter is the most filial. We are both farmers and we live in high-rise courtyards. We can't live in it. This is the house we ask for."
Seeing him protecting Xie Songhua like this, Xie Yuncang couldn't help but smile on his face.
He rarely heard such simple words, and the warmth in this simple feeling was something he hadn't experienced for a long time.
The events at the Little New Year’s Eve banquet were a huge impact on the high-ranking officials and nobles in the entire capital.
After Xie Yuncang returned to his mansion, he didn't know how to face the whole family.
The old lady naturally heard about it, but looking at her son's face that was worried all day long, she didn't ask any questions.
It’s just that this time, their family was not involved in it.
Jiang Shuhua seemed to have done nothing, and it had nothing to do with them.
But Xie Yuncang felt a feeling of fatigue from the bottom of his heart.
He looked at his wife who was living in seclusion, now his cheeks were already old. Even if the couple lived together, they could not say a few words in an hour.
It’s probably what it means to see each other.
When my son went to the place, he did some good things that benefited the country and the people.
It is a good thing for children to be close to the people and understand Jiahe.
His daughter is far away in Datong and at the forefront of the war. Even if he is worried, he can do nothing.
As for the other two.
A adopted daughter entered the Eastern Palace and almost never had the chance to meet again.
Another biological daughter threw her life into the whirlpool of power.
Xie Yuncang suddenly realized that even if he realized his original life ambitions and became the chief minister of the cabinet, he was still full of powerlessness.
For example, in today's government affairs, monarchs like the prince do not know how to take responsibility.
From local finance and taxation, border military and political defense, to layers of official connections...
Every thing, he felt exhausted. The first thing the prince paid attention to was the officials involved in everything was whether there was any force behind everyone.
After all, after so many years of the prince, he only learned a little power struggle.
As for the way of the king...
For the prince at this time, it seemed a bit far away.
And now Emperor Yufeng is here, it seems that he is not here.
The prince is here, it seems that he is not here.
The whole court was like a muddy water, but there were various factions connected under this muddy water.
He once decided to be a pure minister, but now he doesn't know who he is in the end.
So on such a New Year's Eve, on what everyone thinks is a reunion night, he suddenly didn't know where to go.
Today is New Year's Eve. Although the streets are lively, some shops have closed. Occasionally, you can hear the sound of firecrackers.
But it seems that compared to previous years, there is a bit more loneliness.
My sister Xie Wenyuan has moved out, but she is mainly worried about the child.
I didn't expect that Lin Ruoxi could do her business well and now she actually has a place in Beijing.
It is a good thing for my sister to move over to live with her daughter.
Maybe you can listen to less gossip.
The broken mouths of these servants in the Xie family have been used to deal with them for many times. Xie Songhua once said that he had also seen these scary powers, but he still has no way to change them.
He walked aimlessly like this, originally wanting to see his sister.
Who knew that he had come here.
"What are you eating tonight?" Xie Yuncang asked with a smile.
His appearance made Jiang's father very upset, "Can you not have a bite of food at Lord Xie's house?"
Jiang's mother was startled and immediately gave her husband a blank look, "What are you talking about?"
After saying that, he quickly turned to Xie Yuncang, "Sir Xie, don't mind, my wife just can't speak."
Xie Yuncang smiled and said, "I really want to come to your house for a meal!"
After saying this, both Jiang and his wife were stunned.
Xie Yuncang smiled and said, "Songhua girl told me about your New Year's Eve dinner before. She likes that the taste will not be bad. Our chefs only know how to make those kinds of things, and they have the same taste every year, so today I want to come and try it out."
Jiang's father said coldly: "I've already asked, there are many restaurants in this capital that open on New Year's Eve. Mr. Xie is not short of money. It doesn't matter how many meals you choose to match your own taste."
Jiang's mother quickly pushed her husband with her elbow, then turned to Xie Yuncang, and said with a smile: "Sir Xie, please sit down and have the New Year's Eve dinner! You should be reunited and lively. The couple are also deserted. We are here just right, so let's have a drink together?"
