The situation in the capital has been tense recently, and Shensi Pavilion has not started since the last time it closed.
Xie Changqing has always been idle. He was able to gather with a group of friends in Beijing, but now it is not easy to go out because of this tense situation.
If one is not bad, you may be labeled with a big hat.
Especially now Xie Yuncang is the chief minister of the dynasty. As the chief minister's elder brother, he has to be cautious in his words and actions.
Therefore, I have become a little bored these days.
But he was not the only one who was bored. An was about to worry about his hair turning white, and he was not interested in this gift-giving thing that he was very interested in in the past.
"You know you're back, and you don't know where to mess around every day."
As soon as Xie Changqing entered the study, he heard An's complaint. He was so scared that he quickly left. He saw that this place was indeed his study. He couldn't help but say annoyed: "You woman is so rude. It's fine if you are in your own yard on weekdays, but why did you even spread your tantrums in my study today?"
As he said that, he bowed to the saint hanging in the middle, "Sage, please forgive me, the fierce wife in the family does not understand the rules, and I hope she will not disturb the saint."
An became more and more angry, and immediately turned red with his eyes, "I am worried about this and that all day long. My son is worried about it and I still have to worry about the girl. You are so good. I just want to drink and make friends every day, and I don't think about it for me at all. Now I'm still doing this. What's the point of marrying you for so many years?"
Xie Changqing looked at the corners of his wife's eyes with many wrinkles, but it was rare that he did not make jokes and rush over as before. Instead, he sighed and looked at his wife and said, "Forget it! I've come here, otherwise I'd have a cup of tea first?"
An glanced at him sideways and snorted coldly in anger. Xie Changqing sat behind the tea table and started boiling water and draining cups.
"Okay, after so many years, why is this temper still not changing? You can't even be anxious about this kind of thing. Besides, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Both of them are in their twenties. Don't they know how to consider their own affairs?"
After hearing this, An became even more angry, "You know that they are all in their twenties? Your son is so old, and his children are running all over the streets. He is still here to make trouble and refuse to get married. Do you have the nerve to say it?
Not to mention your girl! There is no one who wants to ask for her family in her twenties. I finally found a few, but she even provoked others. Well, now this reputation is even worse in the capital! I don’t know what to do in the future.”
Xie Changqing looked at him for a while, and after she finished crying, she said warmly: "Think about it, what would you think if the third girl hadn't treated Qiong'er that disease at the beginning?"
An was stunned and looked at her husband in surprise.
Xie Changqing said, "You didn't think about asking her to marry into a good family. If you think about letting her be by your side, our family is not a family that can't afford to support a girl's family, right?"
"Can that be the same? There was no way for any daughter to marry? How can she have children if she doesn't get married if she doesn't get married? She came to this world without even a last resort. It makes people feel desolate when they say it."
An's tears fell again. She spent her whole life focusing on her two children. In the past, because her daughter had no future, she always thought of saving more money and saving more money for her daughter. In the future, her daughter would not have nowhere to live in the world after a hundred years.
Now, my daughter has finally become normal, but she is not as pure and calm as she was when she was thinking about saving money.
Xie Changqing said: "There is no inevitable good in this world. For example, Qiong'er, you said that she can marry someone and have children now. She thinks she has to marry someone else's family and keep her bones and blood in the world.
But have you ever thought about what kind of family is really willing to marry her with Qiong'er's personality and her reputation now?
She had already made up her mind to be filial to you and me for the rest of her life. Now you have to force her to get married and marry those who don’t even look down on her in your heart. Are you willing?
Is it better to be called an old girl by someone else at home for the rest of my life just to have two children? At this point, I would rather be called an old girl by someone else, at least I am at home."
Her husband never told her about his lifelong affairs with his two children. An always thought that Xie Changqing didn't care, but how could he know that her husband was actually holding an objection?
This made her eyebrows stand up, and she almost turned her back, "You are just sincerely unable to get along with me, right? You are not doing it for their own good. You are clearly trying to please them, you are deliberately following their wishes, and I am the only one bad person in this family!"
Instead of pretending to be impatient as usual, Xie Changqing looked at her calmly and seriously.
"Think about it carefully, do you hope that your daughter will feel happy, or that your daughter can get what you think is happiness as you think."
His serious appearance made An slowly calm down. Looking at her husband's eyes, she found that she could not make trouble directly at the other party.
After a while, she said in a daze: "But... but after these two years, even if you regret it, it's too late!"
"In this life, no one has ever regretted it? Qiong'er is not a little girl. On the contrary, she is more mature than ordinary girls. You have to learn to let go.
Or are you really not sure about Vancouer? I believe that he will not protect his sister in the future and will not provide Qionger with a shelter?"
"How is this possible?" An denied, "I know my son, I dare not say anything else. Vancouer will never treat his sister badly no matter what."
"Since that's the case, think about what I just said."
An didn't know what happened to her husband today, nor did she know why. When facing her husband today, she became much calmer than usual.
It took a long time before she looked up at her husband timidly, "You... are you saying true? Is this really good for Qiong'er?"
"As long as you don't think it's embarrassing to be old and not married yet."
"I'm just angry. What's so embarrassing about me? My son is so old that he is a real fifth-rank official. He has hired me a decree seriously. He has seen the whole capital. There are not many people who can laugh at me."
When she mentioned this, An immediately became excited and raised her voice immediately.
Xie Changqing couldn't help laughing, the pot of water was boiling, and he picked up the teapot and poured boiling water into the teacup in front of his wife, and the fragrance of tea immediately spread.
Xie Changqing smiled and said, "As for his son's marriage, don't worry, he has a better chance than Qiong'er. He may not be able to bring you a wife back at any time.
The situation is unstable now, and he knows his situation better than anyone else. At this time, he would rather be quiet than move, so just wait with peace of mind."
An looked at him suspiciously, then subconsciously picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea slid down from his mouthpiece, and he felt much more peaceful.
She nodded softly and said, "Forget it, I can't see clearly what's happening outside. If you say that, I think there is a reason for you. I'll just listen to you. I won't care about him during this period."
Seeing that he finally explained his wife, Xie Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right. Look at how sad you are these days, you look a little bit haggard. I heard that I bought a bunch of rouge yesterday? Did you try it?"
Speaking of this, An immediately reacted and stood up immediately, "Look at me, I'm so anxious and angry, I've forgotten this. I'm too lazy to grind my teeth with you. I'll go back."
