Prince Consort

When Zhao Chongzhao and Yao Qingze met, Xie Ze'an was full of troubles.

Xie Jiyu and Xie Wangbo came back from Tongchuan, and it seemed wonderful to bring an outsider back, but it was not particularly wonderful news to Xie Jiyu: Mr. Xie wanted to come to Beijing for a short stay.

So an old man with white beard and hair came back with them.

The Xie family was very busy.

Mr. Xie is already in his nineties, and he is still in good health. After a long journey, he is still not tired.It was the first time Xie Ze'an had seen this big Buddha, so he bravely looked over to Mr. Xie, and met those eyes that were not cloudy at all.

Xie Ze'an thought to himself: This old man looks like a jerk.

Mr. Xie also secretly said: This kid seems difficult to deal with.

After the old and the young classified each other as "troublesome people" in their hearts, they all put on smiles on their faces.One said lovingly: "This is Sanlang, the longer he grows, the more handsome he is." The other said with admiration: "Grandpa, you look refreshed, and you don't look like someone in your 90s at all!"

Xie Jiyu and Xie Wangbo glanced at each other, and turned away one after another, not wanting to see the fake smiles of the old and young foxes.

When people in Beijing heard that Mr. Xie had come to Beijing, they vaguely noticed something famous.The long house is in decline, the second and third houses are unknown, so the burden of the Xie family in Tongchuan is going to fall on the fourth house?

Even Princess Yan Ning, who is in the Xie Mansion, cannot avoid such suspicions.

Xie Ze'an heard Princess Yan Ning's conjecture, and said with a smile: "That's great, I'll be the son of the head of the Xie family in Tongchuan from now on, so it would be very face-saving to say it."

Princess Yan Ning said: "It looks good on the face, but the inside may not be good. This is for Dad to take over a hot potato!"

Xie Ze'an said: "Don't worry so much, you know Dad's ability, if he can't bear the burden, he will never agree." He swept Princess Yan Ning's little head, "Just from Da Lang and younger brother's From the perspective of the future, it is worth paying a price to win this hot potato."

The world is so strange, when Xie Jiyu first entered Beijing, everyone said he was an idiot, and felt that his temper would offend others sooner or later.Unexpectedly, Xie Jiyu was offended, but his official career was extremely smooth, which can be called smooth progress.When he became Shangshu, everyone said that he was not close to his family, and he would not be able to go far without the support of his family.In the end, Mr. Xie moved into Xie's residence, and Xie Jiyu, a "fool", might become the head of Xie's family in Tongchuan!

The life of the big families is getting more and more difficult. In order to survive the predicament, most of them have made a decision like a strong man cut his wrists-no matter how old or young, the capable will be in charge of the family.There are definitely not a few people like Mr. Xie who are determined to replace the family, so many people are waiting for good news from Xie's mansion.

It was at this juncture that Xie Ze'an met Yao Qingze.

With lessons learned from Xie Xi, Zhao Chongzhao learned how to behave, and brought Yao Qingze over to meet Xie Ze'an first.When Xie Ze'an saw Yao Qingze, he felt that this person was unusual. Hearing that his accent was similar to that of Yao Dingyan, a guess came to his mind: "Brother Yao is the son of Mr.?"

Yao Qingze smiled and said, "Yes, my father often talks about you, Saburo, and my father's students and I all know you as a powerful person."

Xie Ze'an said, "I've never seen Brother Yao before."

Yao Qingze said: "When I was young, I was weak and sick. Some eminent monks said that my health was too poor and I might die early, so my father sent me to a Buddhist temple and didn't return home until the year before last. Before I had time to come to the capital to find my father, my grandmother died of illness. , so I have never had the opportunity to come to the capital."

Xie Ze'an laughed: "So that's how it is." He invited Zhao Chongzhao and Yao Qingze inside.

The summer was scorching hot, Xie Ze'an called someone to get some ice, and chilled the wine to relieve the heat.He is afraid of heat and sweats easily. It took only a hundred steps to walk from the gate to the welcoming pavilion, fine beads of sweat had already oozed from his nose, and his face was even a little red from the sun.Zhao Chongzhao watched carefully from the side, and felt that even the beads of sweat were very beautiful, and he was very happy.Just as he was about to hold Xie Zean's hand, he suddenly realized that Yao Qingze was still by his side, so he had no choice but to give up.

Zhao Chongzhao brought the topic back to business: "Sanlang, Qingze is very interested in newspapers, you can talk to him about it."

Xie Ze'an said: "I'm not in charge of the newspaper. Uncle knows the details." He glanced at Yao Qingze, "If Brother Yao is interested, you can go to the 'interview'."

Yao Qingze said regretfully, "I'm still in my filial piety period, so I may not be able to participate."

Now that Zhao Chongzhao had set the "conversation scope", Xie Ze'an did not disappoint him, and chatted with Yao Qingze about the newspaper.

After chatting, it was discovered that Yao Qingze had a very advanced understanding of the new thing of newspapers, and even realized that this new carrier of speech and information might become a battlefield for court disputes.

I just don't know how many of his thoughts are his own and how many are Yao Dingyan's.

The two of them were talking back and forth in their mouths, but they were secretly evaluating what kind of person the other was.

Yao Qingze only felt that "Xie Sanlang" really lived up to his reputation, his appearance and demeanor were far beyond ordinary people, he was clearly in his teens, but he treated people with integrity, it was really amazing.

Xie Ze'an sent Zhao Chongzhao and the others away, and Xie Dalang appeared behind him.

Xie Ze'an said: "Da Lang, your habit of eavesdropping has never changed."

Xie Dalang glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Xie Ze'an had been with him for a long time, so he could more or less guess what he was thinking from his expression and eyes.

Xie Ze'an said: "This Yao Qingze is a character, but his temper is a bit like that of Mr. Yao. With people like their father and son, I don't know what will happen..."

Xie Dalang listened carefully.

Xie Ze'an said: "Da Lang, you don't need to worry about these things with me." He smiled and raised his eyes, "Why don't we think about what you will do in the future."

Xie Dalang paused, obviously not interested in this topic.

Xie Ze'an said: "Are you going to do nothing? This kind of thinking is bad, I can't do nothing every day, eat, drink and have fun!"

Xie Dalang glanced at him, took out a pen and paper and wrote: "I will help you with things."

Xie Ze'an said, "What can I do?"

Xie Dalang wrote: "Some things cannot be known to others, I can help you to do it."

Xie Ze'an said: "How can this be? I don't want my brother to never see the light for the rest of his life."

Xie Dalang wrote: "I don't mind."

Xie Ze'an said, "I mind."

Xie Dalang looked at him quietly.

After a while, Xie Dalang wrote: "I don't want to do anything else."

Xie Zean frowned.

Xie Dalang wrote: "I have already decided."

Xie Ze'an said: "Da Lang..."

Xie Dalang wrote: "You despise me, afraid that I can't do well?"

Xie Ze'an said, "Of course not."

In the past few years, Xie Dalang often went out, and I don't know how he managed to find a group of deaf-mute people.Some of these people were born deaf and dumb, and some became deaf and dumb due to illness, but they all had similar backgrounds. They were all abandoned by their families because they could not speak or hear.

Xie Dalang gave them food, drink and clothes, and they regarded Xie Dalang as their god, and they would do whatever Xie Dalang asked them to do.

Xie Ze'an originally thought that Xie Dalang was suffering from the same disease, and denied that they were living on the streets and suffering from cold and hunger.After Xie Dalang trained people, he realized that the group of people selected by Xie Dalang was very useful.Many of his things need to be kept secret. This group of people is loyal enough to Xie Dalang, but it is difficult to communicate with other people. It is equivalent to double insurance, allowing them to do many things that cannot be disclosed.

This helped Xie Zean a lot.

Xie Ze'an had to lament Xie Dalang's tenacity. If ordinary people become dumb, they would never want to mention the word "dumb". On the contrary, Xie Dalang found such a group of people to face each other day and night.How can ordinary people do such a thing?

Xie Ze'an said: "Da Lang, you can't always help me like this, you will marry a wife and have children..."

Xie Dalang raised his hand to interrupt him, and wrote: "I won't."

Xie Zean was stunned.

Xie Dalang said, "I don't want a wife."

Xie Zhe'an said: "What do you mean? Don't you want to find a wife if you can't talk? You don't want to think about it, Dalang. It's nothing if you can't talk."

Xie Dalang turned his eyes away, but didn't move his hands anymore, the meaning of ending this topic was very clear.

Married or not, Xie Dalang didn't care much before.Just like before meeting Xie Ze'an, he never minded whether he was illiterate or not, and whether he had a name or not.Later, when he saw that Xie Zean could read, he also wanted to learn how to read. Seeing that Xie Zean had a name, he also wanted to have a name.Xie Zean married a wife, he thought that the relationship between himself and Xie Zean might be estranged, so he couldn't help going to the roof of Xie Zean and Princess Yanning to listen to them.

It turns out that Xie Zean and Princess Yanning have been sleeping in separate beds, and Xie Zean has been sleeping on the bed for several years.

She grew taller and looked more handsome, but she married an untouchable girl.Not only is she so young, but her body is also very weak, not to mention intercourse, even being too happy or too excited will cause accidents.Xie Ze'an is obviously at a young age, but if he marries a princess, he has to guard his body like a jade, and he must not miss other women.

Xie Dalang felt very uncomfortable when he thought that Xie Ze'an might never have a real wife in his whole life.He resolutely refused his grandmother to propose marriage to him, just wanted to be with Xie Ze'an.Xie Ze'an didn't have to touch women, and he didn't; Xie Ze'an couldn't get a new wife, and he didn't.The two brothers have such a good relationship, they should have the same blessings and share the same hardships.

If Princess Yan Ning is really gone, and Xie Ze'an wants to live a lonely life with the title of son-in-law, then he will accompany him.

Anyway, no matter what, he was always with Xie Zean.

Good fortune or misfortune, happy or sad, they are brothers of one mind.

That's how it's supposed to be between brothers, right?
