The tension in the capital had already been felt before entering the capital. Xie Jingxi and his party originally wanted to get off the ship in Tongzhou, but they were forced to stop the ship for inspection only when they arrived at Tianjin port.
It has reached the point where you have to verify your identity before you are allowed to enter Beijing. It is not wise to guard against panic.
Gu Yun snorted coldly, "this is to dig a pit and jump in. Sooner or later, you will bury yourself."
It is not the king of Jin who strictly guard against it, but the people of the Ministry of war.
"It's better to get off the ship early. Sheng last is not feeling well. It may be better to make a carriage."
Xie Jingxi didn't worry too much. After all, she is the daughter of the Xie family. The Ministry of war can still give this face. Gu Guan should not expose the identity of the Sheng family. The first thing they should guard against is the Sheng family.
Gu Guan held Sheng last, who was still sleeping, all the way. He was tired and lost his temper. "I knew I wouldn't bring them back. It's just a sin for myself."
Xie Jingxi took Sheng last from her hand. "Children are always like this. It's better to take him back and have a look. The old people always want to see dolls."
For doll's sake, some pimples are easy to solve. Sheng last failed to protect his mother dutifully. It's OK to come back and be a peacemaker for her mother.
"Alas, I know all this. In fact, you don't have to enlighten me. I've wanted to open it for a long time. The children are so old. What else can I say? I always call her mother. How much hatred can there be?"
It's really not hatred, but there is always an irreconcilable gap with that environment. This is probably a knot that can't be solved in a lifetime. No one can really understand who.
But they didn't know at the moment. Mrs. Hou had been in bed for many years. Subconsciously, she was probably waiting to see this side.
He revealed his identity in Tianjin port. When they were going to Beijing, Hou ye had sent someone to pick them up. Hou ye sent Zhao Guan's family. As soon as they met, they almost burst into tears.
For more than ten years, Zhao Guanjia, who guarded Hou's house and outside, was inevitably infected with frost white. He was obviously old. When he saw the three girls, the young master and the young grandmother, he was excited.
"Young master, young grandmother and three girls, you are back."
This long lost Title immediately brought them into the inner courtyard of the house of the Marquis, and their mood became blocked. I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yes, they came back. They came back involuntarily.
Xie Jingxi first said, "Zhao Guan's family is still the same, but everything at home is OK?"
Zhao Guan's family sighed, "grandma and grandma are all right, but your wife is not very useful. It's time for you to come back. If you're later, you won't see you."
Because of this news, everyone was already a little depressed. They simply sank to the bottom of the valley, and they didn't know what attitude to use to meet each other. They directly changed from sword and crossbow to life and death. Even after more than ten years, they were still caught off guard.
It's useless. Gu Guan's mouth is so fragile. She was clamoring to interfere with her life a moment ago. It's so irreconcilable. I knew it would be so. Why hurt each other? It won't be too embarrassing to meet like this. But think about it. She can't make any noise. It means peace. She really doesn't want to fight again after more than ten years of peace.
However, even if everyone was ready to lower their attitude and meet peacefully, they were still a little surprised when they saw Zeng. The old and weak lady lying in bed who could not distinguish her appearance was really the original Zeng.
Xie Jingxi took a look and left, because Zeng didn't know much about people. With their relationship, they could maintain harmony between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when they needed it. When they didn't need it anymore, they were just passers-by. Zeng had no spare time to bother talking to her.
However, aunt Fang still served them as always. When she met them, she just said a few polite words, without deliberate enthusiasm or deliberate indifference. The whole Marquis house was like a backwater. Everyone lost people who could compete, and life became aimless. She maintained the status quo for ten years, neither hot nor cold, without waves.
As soon as Fang Daifu came back, he went to the inner courtyard of Hou's house for a turn. When Xie Jingxi came out of Zeng's house, he casually reported to her, "aunt Fang has been in charge of the house. Except that the second young master doesn't often return to the house, everything is very ordinary."
Fang Wanqing is still an aunt, which means that Gu Heng has always made a conservative commitment and has not established a new second young grandmother. The pattern of the house remains unchanged, so she can't stir up any waves. Fang Wanqing manages the Hou house as she wishes. As a hostess in a sense, she gets everything she wants, but there's nothing else. No wonder she becomes silent and calm, That should be a kind of desperate resignation.
It's like another form of seclusion, which is the same as the outcome of Fang Wanqing's last life.
However, it was not within Xie Jingxi's scope of concern what the Hou house was like. Originally, this place had nothing to do with her.
"Don't ask more about Hou's house. Clean up the yard. We're still staying in our own yard."
Originally, Xie Jingxi didn't plan to live in Hou's house, but looking at Zeng's appearance, Gu Guan probably couldn't go away. She couldn't leave her here alone, so she stayed temporarily. As for their original small yard, because few people were left here, it was a little deserted and had to be cleaned for a while to live.
Zhao Zhang has come to clean up in advance. Zhao Zhang's leg is still slightly lame. I don't know whether there was a deviation when he cut the knife or whether he simply didn't recover well. In short, every time I see him, I have a deep apology. His life is paying for Gu Yun, so I can't call him such an end.
Let Pei Zixi come and have a look. His kung fu is too bad at the foot of the slope.
After Gu Yun came back, he was summoned into the palace by the king of Jin before he could sit still. As soon as Xie Jingxi's two feet stepped into his courtyard, the Marquis wanted to see her. She had to go and have a look. Before she left, Xie Jingxi told Fang Dai Zhao Zhang not to wander around other places, so that everyone would not think they were coming back with an ulterior motive, but would be embarrassed.
But the Marquis wanted them to come back with a different purpose. Unfortunately, they didn't bring Gu Xiaoyu when they came back, so the Marquis was very disappointed, because this meant that they didn't intend to live long at all. Only in view of what Gu Yun said last time, he was no longer able to intervene.
"Have you met your mother?"
Xie Jingxi replied, "yes, but I didn't expect it to be so serious."
"It's good that you can persuade guan'er back. Their mother and daughter always want to meet. They can't have a wish until they meet."
Really have no wish? I'm afraid it's more than that. The biggest knot in Zeng's heart is Gu Qingcai. It's probably doomed to fail. Zeng has been competitive all her life, but she is the most pitiful existence in this bureau. The key is that she doesn't know that she is in the Bureau and has been used all her life without knowing it.
"Zhiyu, she has grown a lot taller?"
The Marquis wanted to stop talking and asked such a question. He felt very embarrassed. In the twinkling of an eye, it was four or five years. Can he not be high? He wanted to ask why he didn't bring her back, but he knew that it was useless to ask.
"Well, it's really a lot taller, big girl."
"That's good. Since you're back, stay a few more days. Go to your mother's house and have a look. Your father will leave Beijing sooner or later."
"Yes, father."
After talking to the Marquis for a while, Xie Jingxi felt that he was a little negative. There were many negative elements. There was no love in life, or there was no hope for the future. Or he knew that he had no hope for what he wanted, but he insisted and refused to let go. He was unable to change the current situation. The Marquis was probably the latter.
Because the king of Jin was in power and Anfeng Hou wanted to continue, he had to let Gu Yun take over, but Gu Yunming refused to take over. Therefore, he actually didn't report any hope for the future of Anfeng Hou house. However, even if he didn't report any hope, he still wanted to fight. Xie Jingxi didn't figure out how to fight, because Hou ye and Gu Heng probably had their own cards.
But the most important thing now is the fate of the Xie family. After all, she still remembers Xie Jingyu.
Gu Yun didn't come back until dark. Although he didn't show it, Xie Jingxi was keenly aware of some uneasy atmosphere. The king of Jin must have said nothing good to Gu Yun.
Not only didn't say good things, it was difficult for people.
The king of Jin asked Gu Yun to stay in Beijing and take over the waiting house.
Gu Yun's first thought at that time was to pack up and leave immediately. His return to the capital was equivalent to lard covering his heart and water in his head. It was superfluous.
"I need you, xuanchen." the king of Jin looked at him with unprecedented seriousness.
The king of Jin was serious. To some extent, it was a kind of plea. Gu Yun had been with him for many years. How could he not understand him and know his current difficulties better? Otherwise, he would not come back. I'm afraid he has been exhausted and far from as relaxed as he seems.
When an old Xie Ge fell, more opposition forces poured in, emerging one after another. When Xie Cen was in office, he could well suppress the forces of all parties, so that everyone's opposition or silence could be kept within a controllable range. However, his departure was equivalent to taking a salary at the bottom of the pot, giving everyone an extreme sense of insecurity. If he didn't fight, his future would be lost, How could they keep silent.
"You old father-in-law, you are really a cruel angle. You walk so quickly and neatly. You want to nail me to death." the king of Jin lost his smile, which was full of helplessness.
Xie Cen has a keen sense of politics. He knows when he should let go, and then he doesn't hesitate to join the king of Jin. In a sense, Xie Ge is the defender of the legitimate imperial power, and because of his important position, he represents a large part, even almost the interests of the whole court, because the king of Jin has no power in the court, Nor is it a legitimate heir to the throne, so it is doomed to be at a disadvantage.
Now, as soon as Xie Cen retired, the trouble of the king of Jin was overwhelming.
"So you just let go of your plan and plan to suppress it one by one. You want me to come back and be a villain."
The king of Jin laughed, "how can I let you take over the waiting house, but it's good for you."
