Xie Songhua bit her lip and did not deny it after all.
"Is it because of the marriage? Or because of your mother?"
He was so open and honest, but Xie Songhua didn't know how to answer.
Xie Yuncang didn't rush her. The paralyzed boss lady next to her came over with a smile and asked if she wanted fresh tofu puffs. Xie Yuncang asked her to bring two bowls to her.
The tofu curd is indeed very fresh, with the fragrance of beans, and with a little bit of sugar added, it is slightly sweet.
"Maybe... I haven't been able to adapt to the lifestyle of a wealthy family like ours!"
I don't know if it's because the current situation is too easy to relax, or because the Xie Yuncang in front of me is far different from what he usually looks like.
Xie Songhua suddenly had the desire to talk, "Needless to say, my wife, she has always regarded me as her daughter. I never had any hope, but whether it is my father or my grandmother, they are all the same as I imagined.
Relatives are not the same.
Of course I also know that there is a set of rules in a wealthy family, but I... always seem to be incompatible with them. Maybe I come from the market!"
She suddenly rolled up her sleeves, revealing the inner coat, "Look, this is made of fine cotton. The material is not expensive, but it is very comfortable for me. My mother...I mean my adoptive mother, she gave me enough
She measured it three times and then marked it on a piece of cloth in a way that only she could understand.
He sewed it for me stitch by stitch. He knew that I didn’t like clothes that were too tight, so he specially relaxed my waist a little. He also knew that I didn’t like the straps under my waist that hurt me, so he specially changed the hidden buckles for me. His craftsmanship is beyond recognition.
Very good, but I think she is more to my liking than any other embroiderer in the house."
When Xie Yuncang looked at her and talked about Jiang Mu, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily, and there was a peaceful smile in his eyes that made people feel comfortable.
"And I... my adoptive father, every time I come here, he always asks my adoptive mother to buy fish and make spicy fish fillets according to my taste. In fact, my adoptive mother's skills are not as good as the cooks in the house, but
I just think it’s the most delicious thing in the world.”
As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel a bit of guilt on her face, "Father, you treat me very well. There are so many sisters in the house, so you can only treat me a little more.
I did hurt you by keeping them by my side. I will apologize to you, but father... I really can't bear to send them away. Don't worry, I won't let anyone discover their existence, and I won't
Because of them, the government..."
"I understand," Xie Yuncang waved her hand, suppressing her anxious mood, "I came here today just to hear your thoughts. Do you blame me or your grandmother?"
This was the first time that father and daughter had such a face-to-face conversation, and Xie Songhua couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
No matter what, her father was still willing to give her such an opportunity.
"How can I not be resentful towards my father? You brought me back in the first place, naturally for my own good. You are just busy with official duties and don't have so much time to care about things in the backyard, and you are already very good to me."
What Xie Songhua said was not a lie. In her opinion, Xie Yuncang's identity was first as a deputy minister of the cabinet, then as the pillar of the Xie family, and finally as the father of his children.
She admired him for his hard work on state affairs, and was also grateful that he protected the family from the wind and rain.
And when faced with her affairs, he was already very gentle.
He gave me the first money I received from the Xie family, and he also gave me my first shop. He also stood up for justice several times when things happened.
Although occasionally she felt a little dissatisfied once or twice, these did not make him resentful.
"So you are dissatisfied with your grandmother?" Xie Yuncang raised his eyebrows. He didn't know if it was an illusion. Xie Songhua even felt that there was a hint of laughter in his tone.
She did not answer this. After all, in this era, what matters most is the word "filial piety" and what matters is the superiority and inferiority.
Xie Yuncang knew her answer without her having to answer.
"Your grandmother..." He thought for a while, as if he didn't know how to evaluate his mother, "She has such a temperament. Now that she is older, there are indeed some things she does without consideration. Don't take it to heart. What's the matter?
If your son is unhappy, just tell me directly.
Even if it is between relatives, the most taboo thing is to keep guessing in your heart. A good relationship has also made you feel jealous. The previous imperial edict clearly stated that Jiang Shuhua's surname is Jiang. I am not the one thanking my family. Now
She is in the East Palace. Your father and I have no intention of competing for the title of Conglong, let alone getting too involved with her.
What happened before was also my father's negligence. I really didn't pay attention to the situation in the house. For this matter, my father still owes you an apology. I treat you to this bowl of noodles this year. Is this my apology? "
He couldn't help laughing after he said it, and Xie Songhua couldn't help but feel relaxed.
"My father said something serious. The Qi family was behind the incident, and it was okay for my grandmother to have second thoughts."
Hearing her talk about the Qi family, Xie Yuncang said again: "You don't have to worry about the Qi family. I have already collected all the evidence of all the things the Qi family has done at home, and I have sent some of them to them a few days ago.
.
At this moment, they are eager to show off in front of the prince, and they don’t want to cause trouble and won’t cause trouble again. You can just pretend that there is no such relative.”
No wonder the Qi family didn't bother anymore during this period. They originally thought it was the fourth son of Zhao who died, but now it seems that it was clearly Xie Yuncang who single-handedly suppressed them.
In this era where filial piety is regarded as etiquette, the Qi family is Xie Yuncang's in-law family. It is already very commendable that he can do this for him, and Xie Songhua is somewhat touched in his heart.
"Thank you father."
"However, Jiang Liangdi's place..." Xie Yuncang sighed, a bit of irritation flashed between his eyebrows, "She is afraid that she really hates you. If the real prince takes over this time, I am afraid she will target you. This matter involves the harem.
As a father, it’s hard to interfere.”
"Don't worry, father!" Xie Songhua pursed her lips and smiled, "The road is walked step by step. She can't help me in the Xie family. Could it be that if she goes to the harem, I will be afraid of her?"
This tone surprised Xie Yuncang. He looked at his daughter intently for a long time, then said, "It's rare to see you be so sharp."
Xie Songhua picked up the tofu bread in front of him and said, "My father just asked me to treat me to noodles to make amends. I can't afford it, but I want to use this tofu to make amends to my father. I was really willful before."
Xie Yuncang picked up the bowl and took a sip, "Between father and daughter, it's good to just talk it out. Don't keep anything in your heart in the future. Since we are a family, we will always be a family and it will never change."
Xie Songhua nodded, but she also knew in her heart that although they were a family, she was already married and it was difficult to tell the truth about many things.
Just like Han Jian...
For example, Xiao Yu...
Another example is the news coming out of the palace.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but worry about Xie Wenhua again. She changed her mind and suddenly asked: "Eldest brother seems to have not taken a bath for a long time. Last time, he asked me to prepare some medicine for him to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. He
It’s always easy to get injured during training there.”
