The Trick to Teasing a Noble Family’s Son

Wei Lan and Xie Zichen fought for a while, and the next day, Wei Lan took someone to Xie's house and hired him.Although Xie Jue was already prepared, Xie Jue's whole heart collapsed when Wei Lan came up with a big and small box and said "Father-in-law" with a smile.

He didn't want to take care of the man who was going to marry his son, but he had to take care of him, holding all the thoughts and politeness of Wei Lan, while Wei Lan was desperately trying to please his "father-in-law".

Wei Lan has always felt that she is an extremely good woman. If she is put on the beam, she is the perfect daughter-in-law in the hearts of all father-in-laws. There is no family member who does not desperately want to marry her.But she did not expect that when she was really preparing to marry a man, she would be so disgusted by the other's father-even if Xie Jue did not show it on his face, the emotions could not be hidden at all.

Xie Jue hates her and hates this marriage.But this is Xie Zichen's father, and Wei Lan still desperately wants to please him.

So when Yanmo was instructing people to carry things, Wei Lan asked Yanmo to carry another box of gold in the warehouse very realistically.

This box of gold Wei Lan did not say to Xie Zichen. While drinking tea with Xie Jue, Wei Lan said with emotion: "I am coming today. In addition to being hired, I also brought some gifts to Master Xie. Thank you, adults. The minister's kindness of nurturing for so many years, Master Xie has bothered."

Xie Jue's hand stiffened while drinking tea.He felt that he was probably the first person in the aristocratic circle of Da Chu who could answer "What is it like to marry a son?"He resisted the urge to get angry and replied, pretending nothing happened.He promised Xie Zichen to give Wei Lan a face, so he wouldn't do too much.Seeing Xie Jue's faint response, Wei Lan couldn't hold her face anymore, so she could only dry up with the dyeing ink: "Come up."

After dyeing the ink, the servants carried a box in. Xie Jue lifted his eyelids and saw the servants open the lid of the box.

gold.

The whole box was full of gold bars, and Xie Jue didn't even need to count, to understand that the gold would definitely be worth the five years of their second room.

Xie Jue couldn't help but froze for a moment, his eyes stuck to the gold, and the whole person looked straight.His response made Wei Lan very satisfied, and said cautiously: "Master Xie, although this gift is not known how much money, it is also very much of Wei Lan. Please also thank Master Xie to accept it."

"This is... for me?" Xie Jue was stunned. Generally, when marrying his son, ah yeah, marrying a daughter, isn't it okay for the other family to hire him?Is there a separate gift?

"Naturally." Wei Lan nodded and said respectfully: "Although I have served as an official in the same court for many years, but next time I will meet with Master Xie as the companion of a child minister, of course I have to bring a meeting ceremony. Quan When it is the respect of the younger generation to the elders, the courtesy is light and the affection is heavy, and I hope that I thank you for not being offended.

"Where is this gift considered light? It's obviously too heavy," Xie Jue said, even though he already wanted to pounce on the box, but still holding a shelf on his face: "It's not the first time I have met you. No, you can carry the box back."

"It's Alan being reckless," Wei Lan apologized and said sincerely: "Alan doesn't know what Mrs. Xie likes, think about it, think that these vulgar things are more real, and I never thought that Mrs. Xie was so handsome, these A block things are broken Master Xie’s integrity is not A Lan’s. However, A Lan did not prepare any other gifts today. I hope Master Xie will forgive me for being too young and accept this box of gold bars as an ordinary gift."

Xie Jue listened quietly to Wei Lan's words. He had already squeezed sweat in his heart. He meant it, if Wei Lan really took the money back, he would have no place to cry.So as soon as Wei Lan finished speaking, he sullenly said: "You have said so, if I still insist on not, then I will sweep Wei Xiang's face. Then I will accept it, Wei Xiang will still Don't give away such expensive things."

"Master Xie is the Master of Mount Tai, this bit of vulgarity is still missing, how can it be considered valuable?" Wei Lan lifted the fan, pointed towards the east, and opened her mouth: "Oriental pearls, Western spices, this No matter how good things are in the world, my father-in-law can enjoy them. It’s nothing but gold and silver."

Xie Jue: "..."

This is a good pretense.

However, I don't know why, listening to Wei Lan's words like this, the feeling of anger in marrying her son disappeared unexpectedly.The marriage of a son has always been a costly affair, and there has never been a family with a son who can earn so much money back like him.

So Xie Jue's attitude towards Wei Lan changed drastically, and he began to chat with Wei Lan.The two of them didn’t have much topics. The one who talked the most was Xie Zichen. Wei Lan was very curious about what Xie Zichen was like when he was a child. However, Xie Jue seemed a little embarrassed when he was a child. Content.

"He was quite naughty when he was a kid..." Few people discussed Xie Zichen with Xie Jue. Xie Jue couldn't help but desperately searched his memory of Xie Zichen, but his memory of Xie Zichen was too shallow, this concubine whom he ignored. , The sense of existence in the past is too low.So he could only tell all the little things he remembered: "When I was a kid, I talked a lot and liked to cause trouble. He often fought with his brother, and he always clamored to talk. It was not worrying. Later, he was caught in the river. After being detained for a few days, I became obedient. Since then, I don’t like to talk much..."

Xie Jue remembered with difficulty.Wei Lan did not speak.With this attitude of Xie Jue, it is easy to guess what Xie Zichen lived when he was a child.Wei Lan couldn't help but outline the appearance of Xie Zichen when he was a child, a thin and small person, whose mother died young, desperately wanting his father's love, so he fought desperately.

She didn't know what was going on, and she shook her heart for a while.After she was hired according to etiquette, she sat in the carriage returning home, still feeling sad.So she simply went to Xie Zichen's mansion and went directly to find him.

It was late at night, and Xie Zichen had washed up and was approving the memorial.Wei Lan came in coldly. He raised his head and said with a gentle brow: "I'm back? Is it going well?"

Wei Lan didn't speak, she walked quickly to Xie Zichen, wrapped him in her arms, and leaned against his chest.Xie Zichen was a little surprised, frowned, and said: "Who is angry with you in the Xie family?"

"No." Wei Lan's voice was dull, Xie Zichen relaxed, and then said: "What's the matter?"

Wei Lan wanted to speak, and wanted to ask him whether he was sad when he was young.But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't speak again.

This happened many years ago. For Xie Zichen, this is probably more than 30 years and nearly 40 years of the past. After such a long time, he probably didn't care about it for a long time, and it was just a sorrow. .So she was bored for a long time, and finally said: "Nothing, just want to hug you."

Xie Zichen laughed low and followed her hair with his fingers.She smelled the breath of this person, and her heart gradually settled down. Seeing that her mood had finally improved, Xie Zichen called someone in to prepare water, and pushed her: "Go wash."

Wei Lan responded in a low voice and went to the bathroom to take a shower.When she came out, Xie Zichen had already placed all the memorials and sat on the bed waiting for her.After the two were together, Xie Zichen didn’t like to disturb Wei Lan’s sleep. The bathroom had fixed office hours every day, and every time he finished everything before that time, the rest of the time was spent with Wei. Lan.Wei Lan's affairs are much less than him, so it is easier.

After she sat on the bed, he dried her hair with a towel, bowed his head and kissed her, gently said, "Sleep."

Wei Lan answered and lay on the bed. After Xie Zichen closed his eyes and fell asleep, Wei Lan opened his eyes and looked at the man quietly.

He must have been suffering when he was a child.

Wei Lan thought, compared to the time when the stars held the moon when she was a child, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.If she could get to know him earlier, and if they could meet in the beam, she would treat him well and would never let anyone bully him like this.

Xie Zichen felt her gaze, turned over, reached out and pulled her close to his arms, and said seriously: "Alan, what's the matter, you tell me, otherwise I will be worried, eh?"

"I am talking to your father today about your childhood."

Wei Lan finally spoke, leaning on his hand, approaching his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and stating as calmly as possible: "He told me that you were also a talking person when you were a kid, and then fell into the water once. I'm not very talkative, why?"

"This matter..." Xie Zichen spoke casually, and didn't seem to think it was a major event. He said indifferently: "I was ignorant when I was a child, and I always wanted my father to pay more attention to me. At that time, I was very strong to win, and I wanted to be in the limelight in everything. My father would look at me a few more times. That time was not actually falling into the water. It was winter. My father's snow silver fish was unique in Cuihu Lake, but it was not easy to catch in winter, so he could not eat it. I heard He talked a few times and wanted to behave, so he told him that I could catch the fish, and he joked with me, saying that if I could catch the fish, he would give me a windmill that he built by himself."

"He gave my brother this kind of windmill several times. I have seen it and wanted it all the time. So I took the opportunity to go to Cuihu, squatted on the ice, and used many methods to catch the fish. I finally caught it. I got one, but because I was too young, the fish dragged me into the lake..." Then, Xie Zichen couldn't help laughing: "I fell into the water and the first thought was to catch this fish, so I kept catching the fish. When I finally rescued me, the fish and I went ashore together. I carried the fish back, thinking that my father would make a windmill for me. Who knew that my father had completely forgotten about it. I was locked in the wood shed."

"I was locked in with wet clothes. I had a high fever in the wood shed. I was alone in it, cold and hungry. It happened to be the birthday of the owner of the family at that time, and Xie’s family was very busy. I was sick. Sounds, everyone forgot that I was still in the wood shed. I thought I would die in it... Fortunately, on the third day, someone finally thought of me, and someone carried me out."

"Since then, I know that my father doesn’t care about me. No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, my father will never look at me. For him, the most important thing I need is probably not to cause trouble. Be nice. So I didn’t talk a lot afterwards, pretending that I was not in this house, reading, eating, and studying quietly."

Wei Lan listened to him quietly, holding him tighter and tighter, a deep sense of powerlessness swept over her, she shook her face in front of his chest, and said seriously: "Zichen, I will make you happy of."

Xie Zichen was stunned for a while, and then saw Wei Lan look up, looking at him seriously and said: "Zichen, in this life, I won't let you be wronged any more."

Xie Zichen laughed lightly, not knowing what was going on in his heart, there was endless tenderness and moving, loving someone, being loved by someone, probably that's it, even if you once hated and feared the world, you will be grateful at that moment. , Everything the world has done to you.Because all this made you who you are today, and that person is in love with you.

Because of being loved by you, there is no fear, no sorrow, no doubt.

Xie Zichen hugged her and said gently: "Fool, it's all over. I don't care anymore."

Wei Lan did not speak, she said nothing.

"Oh," Xie Zichen remembered: "My father didn't embarrass you, right?"

"In the beginning, the attitude was not very good," Wei Lan thought for a while, and said honestly: "Later, I gave him some gifts and the attitude was fine."

"Gift?" Xie Zichen said suspiciously: "What did you give?"

"A box of gold bars."

Xie Zichen: "..."

After a while, Xie Zichen resolutely said: "I will be back tomorrow!"

"No... No need..." Wei Lan felt that she was a little bit unsatisfied. How could there be any reason for her lord to come back with the things she gave to her father-in-law?

Xie Zichen thought for a while, and felt that the money was indeed not very good, so he could only solemnly warn Wei Lan: "You are not allowed to give the Xie family a penny in the future!"

Wei Lan nodded quickly, and Xie Zichen was satisfied. He took her hand and closed her eyes and said, "Go to sleep."

The two slept, and the next day Wei Lan went to Xie Jue. Xie Jue was a little bit confused. Wei Lan only came home yesterday, so what else did she do today?

Wei Lan also felt a little embarrassed, and felt that her reason for coming to the door was a little naive, but she still insisted: "Well, Mrs. Xie, I am here today and I have something to ask."

"Wei Xiang, please speak."

"Well, I heard that you will make a very unique windmill..."

Xie Jue: "..."

How did Wei Lan know that such an old nobleman could do windmills?It must be Xie Zichen, this little bastard!

Xie Jue felt that his face was a little uncontrollable, and waited for Wei Lan's mockery with a stern face.In the end, Wei Lan respectfully said, "Can Master Xie teach me?"

Xie Jue: "..."

This is really an unexpected hobby of Wei Xiangye.

Wei Lan studied windmills from Xie Jue for a day, and Xie Zichen was busy at home to count the betrothal gifts.The amount Wei Lan hired him was huge, and since he promised Wei Lan that he would want ten miles of red makeup, he would definitely do it.

Back then, when he thought he and Wei Lan had no future, he thought that all the betrothal gifts sent to Changxinhou's Mansion must come from his Xie Zichen's hand, and Lin Xia borrowed 20,000 taels.Now that he is hired personally, he can't neglect.

He almost moved all the funds in all the shops under his name. Xie Tong said with some worry: "My son, you are sending all your belongings..."

"Marrying a daughter-in-law naturally costs a little bit." Xie Zichen said with a plain expression: "You have not seen ordinary people marrying a wife and sometimes bankrupt their family for hire. How can a good person like Alan want to marry her without bankruptcy? She deserves her identity?"

"But the son," Xie Tong said with a curled lips, "I don't think you married Wei Shizi."

"Nonsense!" Xie Zichen straightened his expression: "Who was the official groom on the day of marriage? It was me!"

"My son," Xie Tong said very realistically: "Is the child's last name determined to be Xie?"

Xie Zichen: "..."

Not sure at all.

But who wants to think about such a remote problem?Isn’t the urgent matter to marry the wife back?

Seeing Xie Zichen's appearance, Xie Tong knew what he meant. He sighed, shook his head, said nothing, bowed his head to take inventory.

Xie Zichen felt bored in his heart, a little depressed, and after a while, there was the voice of Wei Lan returning to the house.He heard footsteps all the way, and then heard Wei Lan's voice calling him: "Zichen!"

She seemed to be very happy, as if it had become a major event. Xie Zichen turned her head and was about to ask when she saw a windmill in her hand.

He was so familiar with the shape of the windmill. In his youth, this was what he was willing to exchange with his life.

Xie Zichen stood there in a daze, Wei Lan walked up to him holding the windmill and put the windmill in his hand.

"Zichen, I learned how to make a windmill," she said seriously: "You want a windmill in the future, can I help you make it?"

Xie Zichen didn't speak, he stared blankly at the windmill gently turning in the night breeze.

This was his youthful obsession. His resentment towards the Xie family and his love and hatred towards his father seemed to disappear at this moment.

He always thought that after more than 30 years, he actually didn't care about it, but it wasn't until this minute that he completely discovered that he finally came out of the past.

When he met someone who loved him and gave him love, he finally understood the feeling of being loved.

I have seen the sun, and I know when it is considered to leave the darkness.

He opened his mouth and said hoarsely, "Okay."

"I will do what you want in the future." Wei Lan said softly, holding his hand, and solemnly said: "Zichen, I will always love you so much in my life."

He can't speak, he has countless words.He also wants to say that he is like this and so is.

But he couldn't tell, but his eyes were red, like a child, holding a windmill in one hand and being led by the man in the other, and slowly said, "Okay."

When Xie Zichen was seriously preparing for the appointment of Shang Changxin Hou's Mansion, Rong Hua was already ready to leave.

Rong Ji was admitted to the palace and became a beauty.This is a woman specially trained by Rong Hua, and an emperor like Su Bai can't bear such a beauty at all.If it weren't for her status as the princess of the enemy country, it wouldn't be impossible to enter the palace directly to become a noble consort.

The day before Rong Hua left, Wang Xi and a group of friends returned drunk. When she was walking alone in the night, she was suddenly stopped by the carriage.

"Who?"

Wang Xi screamed, Rong Hua's voice rang, and said with a low smile: "Wang Shangshu."

Wang Xi's mind suddenly woke up. He found that the two brothers and sisters were very fond of looking for him, so he said coldly: "His Royal Highness Ronghua, what are you looking for?"

"I want to discuss a deal with Wang Shangshu, but I don't know if I can get into the carriage?"

"No need," Wang Xiguo said, "I have nothing to say with Your Highness."

"Master Wang doesn't want to chat with Her Royal Highness Rong Ji?"

Hearing this, Wang Xi calmed down. Rong Hua smiled and said, "With me as a shield, both Xie Zichen and Wei Lan thought that Rong Ji was able to find Xie Zichen because I helped to indulge them, so they didn't suspect that Lord Wang was headed. Come on, Lord Wang is very lucky, right?"

"Although I am ready to burn both jade and stone, I also know that the two sides are incompatible, but at this moment, Lord Wang is not ready to oppose them, is he?"

"Come up."

Wang Xi spoke coldly, and there was footsteps outside. After a while, Rong Hua raised the curtain and stepped into the carriage.

"What business are you going to do?"

"Wang Shangshu knows that Master Xie is going to marry Miss Changxin Hou Mansion?" Rong Hua suddenly changed the subject.

"know."

"After that, the relationship between the two has become more unbreakable, and the Wang family's situation has become more difficult, right?"

"What does this have to do with Your Highness?"

"I want Youzhou."

Rong Hua spoke, Wang Xi was stunned, and then sneered: "Do you think I would do this kind of betrayal for my own benefit?!"

"Wang Shangshu," Rong Hua stretched out his voice and said with a smile: "This is not the era of gentlemen anymore."

"I only want a Youzhou, and cutting out a Youzhou will not have any impact on the power of your Wang family. But you and I should be in harmony with you, and I promise to let Xie Zichen and Wei Lan fall. They have fallen, the Wang family has You, there is a queen today, do you still worry about the future of the king's family?"

"The Wang family has always been the number one family, and talented people come out in large numbers. Now, except for one Xie Zichen, the Xie family is vulnerable. As long as the Xie Zichen is gone, the Xie family will no longer resist fear. This is especially true of the Changxin Hou Mansion, and Wei Lan died. , Changxin Hou Mansion was completely collapsed. From then on, Wang Jiaan sat in the position of the No. 1 aristocrat of Da Chu, and you no longer have to worry about the future of the family."

"Actually, think more deeply, Lord Wang, what does Youzhou have to do with you? What does the world have to do with you? The power you hold in your hand is real, and everything else is just a fake name, isn't it? "

Wang Xi didn't speak. Under the moonlight, Rong Hua's expression was calm and indifferent. The two seemed to be chatting, rather than doing a serious matter of life.

Finally, Wang Xi smiled and said helplessly: "I don't quite understand why every time you do this kind of thing, your brothers and sisters will come to me?"

"why?"

Rong Hua laughed low, put his finger on Wang Xi's chest, and said gently: "Because, your heart is broken."
