Prime Minister Chasing Her Husband

Seeing that Li Heng had stopped his chopsticks, Mrs. Xie Liu said, "I don't know what plans Uncle has today?"

Li Heng replied: "There is no arrangement."

"If that's the case, please ask the slave family to send someone to take my uncle around Cangzhou. Today, I still have some family matters to discuss at my house, and I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany my uncle. If my uncle is not busy, stay for two more days and wait until today Now, the slave family can also fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

When Li Heng saw this posture, he understood that he wanted to send him away and bully Xie Xuan behind closed doors, so he refused, saying: "Speaking of family matters, I have something to discuss with my sister-in-law."

As he spoke, he took out the letter, held up the envelope that said "from my brother Li Heng" and said: "A few days ago, my brother received a letter from Brother Xie's family, and I asked my brother to come and pick up Xuan'er to live with me in Beijing." I don't know if my sister-in-law knew about it."

"What?" Xie Liushi was startled, she hadn't thought of it at all.She had known that Xie Zhuo didn't like herself and Xie Hongfei, and it was all due to her entanglement in Cangzhou these years.When Xie Zhuo suddenly became seriously ill, she had no desire to fight, she just waited for Xie Zhuo to die, Xie Xuan was lonely and helpless, this Xie Mansion was her decision, she never expected that Xie Zhuo would keep such a hand .At that time, she lost the demeanor of the eldest wife, and muttered: "Impossible, impossible."

Seeing that Mrs. Xie Liu was so unappreciated, Liu Xin patted the table lightly, and said, "The dining room is never a place to talk. Brother Li, if it's a family matter, please move to the main hall."

Xie Liu also came back to his senses, grinned again, and said: "Yes, since uncle has something to do, please move on, we can discuss it while everyone is here today."

Everyone went to the living room, Xie Xuan didn't want Li Zhiyuan to be contaminated with these intrigue tricks, so he asked Li Meome to take Li Zhiyuan to the market.Li Zhiyuan refused, held Xie Xuan and did not let go, staring at Xie Xuan with piercing eyes, said: "What are brother and father going to do, can't I go? I won't make trouble."

Xie Xuan's heart softened when he heard Li Zhiyuan acting like a baby, and the hand holding Li Zhiyuan tightened unconsciously, and helped Li Zhiyuan straighten the fine hair around his ears with the other hand, and said softly: "Xiao Yuan, be good, brother You and your father are going to do something that is not fun. Xiaoyuan will go shopping with Momo, okay? Cangzhou Diecuixuan’s eight-treasure duck tastes so good that you have to queue up every day to eat it. Xiaoyuan helps brother How about queuing up to buy one?"

Li Zhiyuan was greedy, even though he had just had dinner, he still twitched his index finger when he heard Xie Xuan's description, and glanced at his father again, as if seeking permission.Li Heng nodded with a smile, and Li Zhiyuan followed Li Meme away.

When the group arrived at the living room, the maids had already made tea.As soon as they entered the room, Liu Xin and Xie Liushi took the main seats. Xie Xuan threw down his sleeves and made a gesture of invitation to Li Heng, asking Li Heng to take the seat.Li Heng was kind and good, and Xie Xuancai sat down next to him.

At this time, the atmosphere in the room was not very good, everyone had their own calculations, but none of them was very sure, for a moment the hall was completely silent.

It was Liu Xin who broke the silence first. "I heard from Sister She that Brother Li is a nobleman from the middle of Beijing. I don't know where Brother Li can get a job?"

"Where did the nobleman come from? I am a commoner, but with a bit of luck, I was appreciated by the emperor and pretended to be a doctor of the Ministry of Rites to do it. I am ashamed to say that at such an old age, the achievements are really beyond words." .”

As soon as Liu Xin heard about the Ministry of Rites, he became more energetic. Everyone said that the Ministry of Rites was an idle department, not being reused, and that there was not enough oil and water.But I accidentally forgot that the three-year Chunwei is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. "No way, brother Li can be an official in the capital at a young age, and the official worship doctor is beyond my reach."

"Brother Liu is absurd."

"Yesterday I saw Brother Li wearing Xiaogong. Could it be that Brother Li is a distant brother of my deceased brother-in-law? I have never heard of it in these years." During the land distribution activities, the high officials he came into contact with were only the prefect of Cangzhou. Now that a real Beijing official was in front of him, his mind became alive.

"It's not a relative, it's a good friend of the master. I have been here a few times before, but my brother has never seen it before." The one who knows his brother's heart is like his sister. Xie Liu knew that he had fallen for Li Heng when he heard Liu Xin's words. The idea is to let Li Heng pull his son in the spring two years later.But right now, Xie Liu is most concerned about the position of the mistress of the Xie Mansion, so she disregarded her elder brother at all, and just demolished him.

"Uncle and master have a deep friendship. The people here are a family, and I don't say anything else. Uncle Xu knows that today, this slave is going to divide the Xie mansion with Xuan'er and work independently. But let's listen to what uncle said first. , Said it was the master's last wish, and asked the uncle to come and pick up Xuan'er to go to Beijing. I have never heard the master mention this. Could it be that the uncle misunderstood something?"

Before arriving in Cangzhou, Li Heng was planning to please others with the way of a gentleman. After all, the content of this letter was quite extreme and hurtful.Now that Xie Xuan already knew the content of the letter, these elders looked like tigers and wolves, so he forgot about the ceremony of the masters for the time being.

Li Heng took out the envelope again, opened it in front of everyone, and began to read the letter.The beginning of the letter was only a few polite words, and Xie Zhuo began to talk about his mental journey over the years, saying that he missed his dead wife, and that he was worried about Xie Xuan.When hearing this, Xie Liu's face turned from red to white, very ugly.

When Li Heng read: "Brother, I am afraid that I will die, and Xuan'er will be left alone in the land of tigers and wolves, to be torn apart by wolves, tigers and leopards, and the bones will be smashed into the belly", Xie Liu can no longer sit still.The hand holding the tea cup trembled, and the tea bowl fell to the ground, with a "bang", it fell into pieces.

Xie Liu gave the servant girl a wink, and the servant girl came over to clean up, so she said slowly: "I made uncle laugh."

"Master and slave have been in love for more than ten years. Even Fei'er has grown up to this age, but slave has never heard a word of serious words from master. Uncle, I don't know where I got such a letter. All of them are accusations against the slaves, and they also say that Xie Mansion is a land of tigers and wolves."

"When uncle came last time, I knew that you liked Xuan'er. If uncle wanted to ask Xuan'er to raise him, just put it bluntly, why bother to make such a mistake? It is said that there are many gossips in front of widows. If you lose your heart, someone will bully you into your house..." Xie Liu said, holding up her handkerchief and touching her tears, implying that the letter was fake.

Regardless of the authenticity of the letter, Liu Xin saw his sister react so quickly, so he climbed up the ladder, patted his sister's hand and said: "Sister, don't be afraid. Brother is a county magistrate at a young age. Since you should keep the people safe, if someone bullies you today, let alone a Beijing official, even the Heavenly King, my brother will stop you."

Li Heng looked at the two people who were confusing right and wrong, and was glad that he didn't forget to bring those paperwork when he was flustered.Silently thinking "Only a villain and a woman are hard to raise", Li Heng took out the letter from his shirt shirt, which was stamped with the official seal of the station from Cangzhou to Kyoto.

"Li has been reading the books of sages since he was a child, so he doesn't know how to talk about fallacies. Whether this letter is true or not, you can tell by looking at this document. As for how brother Xie would call Xie's mansion a land of tigers and wolves, today Li It's a little clearer."

"I'm not talented, even though I'm just a young doctor, he's still the one who can face the emperor's feet. Now your brothers and sisters are blatantly bewildered and say that black is white. If I'm not here, I don't know that my good nephew will be punished. What kind of bullying are you guys doing?" After Li Heng finished speaking, he slapped the letter on the small table beside the teacup.

The brothers and sisters of the Liu family were always bullying and afraid of being tough. They thought that Li Heng was a gentleman, and he dared to act like he was wronged because he couldn't bear to tangle with them.As soon as Li Heng put out his posture, the two of them froze a bit.

Xie Liu thought about it, she just wanted to be the person in charge of the Xie Mansion anyway, and let him pick him up, and she felt a little relieved, and immediately changed her words: "Uncle misunderstood, brother Nu's family is also worried that Nu's family will be bullied. It’s a bit more. Uncle just wants to take Xuan’er away today, and it’s the master’s intention, how can I stop it. It’s just that it’s a change of place, everything depends on Xuan’er’s own wishes.”

"Xuan'er, Erniang was with your mother and son. Since your mother left, there has been some affection. Today, your Uncle Li is coming to pick you up. Would you like to come to Beijing with him?" A sip of tea After a while, Xie Liu threw the words to Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a happy expression: "Uncle Li is very loving, and it is the father's intention. The child dare not disobey. It's just that the child is still young, and I am afraid that it will drag Uncle Li. Dare I ask Uncle Li's father's letter if it is acceptable?" Explain, what is your plan for the expenses of the past few years?"

Li Heng took it naturally, and said with a smile: "Brother Xie said in the letter that he asked me to use his private seal to exchange a thousand taels of silver with my sister-in-law for Xuan'er's expenses. However, Xuan'er is willing to go with me. Uncle Li is naturally willing to bear the expenses."

After Xie Zhuo left, Xie Liu also searched for Xie Xuan's private seal for a few days.She always wanted to take the seal and go to the government to do the paperwork early, and transfer everything that could be moved to Xie Hongfei's name, but she couldn't find it.She wanted to ask her brother to go to clear it up and make a fake seal, but she never thought that Xie Zhuo would dare to give the private seal to someone else.

Fortunately, after hearing what Li Heng said later, I was relieved a little, and quickly took over the words: "Uncle is so benevolent, considerate of my orphans and widowed mothers, I thank you here. Xuaner, if that's the case, you will go with Uncle Li Bar."

Xie Xuan thought that her second mother's idea was too naive. "Where is Uncle Li, if Xuan'er wants to live with Uncle Li, naturally he can't live for free. If Uncle Li wants to keep nothing, then Xuan'er might as well stay in Cangzhou."

Before Li Heng could answer, Xie Xuan knelt down towards Mrs. Xie Liu.

"In these years, Erniang has been with my mother and son, and Erniang has taken care of her so much that Xuan'er is not grateful. Now that Xuan'er is going away, I'm afraid I won't be able to take everything from Cangzhou with me. It just so happens that Erniang also said before that today is the The family is going to be separated. After the separation, Erniang doesn't need to worry about the thousand taels of silver, just give Xuan'er's share."

Xie Liushi suddenly felt like shooting himself in the foot with a rock, and he didn't know how he thought of asking for a separation.Fortunately, she had discussed with Liu Xin about splitting up the family before. If they could split up according to their ideas, Xie Xuan would not get any benefit.

Who would have thought that before she could speak, Xie Xuan took out a few documents from his chest.

"The mansion of the Xie Mansion was placed in the first lunar month of the Jiashen year. The current price is 3000 taels of silver, of which 2000 taels came from the child's grandfather. My father wrote an IOU, saying that if the family is separated in the future, the whole house will be used to pay off the debt." Xie Xuan laid out the letters one by one, "The stamp on the top is the seal of the Cangzhou government office. This letter is the testimony letter left by Mr. Huang Qianshan, the prefect of Cangzhou, as a witness. It has Mr. Huang's private seal on it. Today When the family is separated, the entire Xie mansion will belong to my grandfather. Unfortunately, there is only one child left in the grandfather's family, and now, this Xie mansion naturally belongs to the child."

"Thirteen years in a blink of an eye, Xuan'er went out the day before yesterday and found an intermediary shop to inquire about. Now Xie's house is priced at 2000 taels. This is the proof issued by the shopkeeper of the intermediary shop." Xie Xuan finally put all the letters away, and then The words were sonorous, and said: "My son is grateful for the kindness of Erniang's upbringing. If I go to the capital, Xie's house will definitely not be taken away. So I asked Erniang to take out 1 taels of silver, and the rest of the family property, farmland, and my son will be gone. , leave it all with Erniang."
