Xie Huaiyang was stunned and said in confusion, "Grandpa, why are you so angry?!"
However, he also knew that Xie Shengli was angry, so he hurriedly knelt down, guarding the luminous pearl very preciously in his hand.
Xie Shengli pointed at him and said, "You are also a child raised by the Xie family. How can you be so shallow in your vision? Is it just a pearl that you can give to me like a treasure? Besides, I thank you. Our family is based on integrity and strictness, but you actually do such things as giving and accepting private favors for others, which is simply an insult to my Xie family tradition!"
Xie Huaiyang was stunned for a moment by what Xie Shengli said, and he subconsciously defended, "Grandpa, Mr. Li is my boss, and he asked me to bring you good things for him. Isn't this also okay? Besides, who doesn't give gifts during the New Year? , he gave the gift with good intentions, just to ask you to do something, and it is also because our family is powerful, otherwise, why didn't he find someone else? "
"Have you learned how to be stubborn? I'll beat you to death, you idiot!"
Xie Shengli was so angry that he looked around for something to beat him, but Xie Ruzhuo stopped him and comforted him, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Third brother has just entered the officialdom, and he is being used as a weapon without even realizing it. Just teach him a lesson." Why are you so angry?"
Xie Huaiyang was depressed after being scolded. Hearing Xie Ruzhuo's words, he became even more angry and said, "Xie Ruzhuo, don't add fuel to the fire here. What do you, a woman, know? Leave me alone!"
"Just leave me alone!" Xie Shengli's originally subdued anger was stirred up again, pointing at Xie Huaiyang and saying, "Do you know who Li Xian belongs to? He is the brother of a concubine of the second prince! Where is he? It’s a holiday gift, obviously a peach branch! I, the Xie family, have been fair for a century and will never be involved in party disputes. If I accept his things today, then others will automatically turn me into the second prince’s team in the future! By then, With what dignity do I, the Xie family, come to see the late Emperor? How can I live up to the oath I swore in front of the late Emperor?!"
"I really don't know! Besides, who's family in the court doesn't take sides? Why is our family alone? Even if the second prince throws an olive branch to you, it proves that our family has a strong background and makes the second prince admire you. This is helpful Why not?" Seeing Xie Shengli's appearance, Xie Huaiyang couldn't help but feel bold and spoke out all the words buried in his heart. In the past six months since joining the army, he finally understood that if the old man could have used his strength behind his back, Xie Huaiyang would not have been just a soldier for half a year!
Thinking of this, Xie Huaiyang felt short of breath and complained, "Outsiders only know how glorious the Xie family is, but they don't know that you have the reputation of being an imperial master, but you are unwilling to make plans for your grandson!"
"Third brother, what you said is too much! If it wasn't for you to plan, why would Grandpa have reached this point? You have only been in contact with this court for a few months, and you dare to talk about the rights and wrongs of the court? Do you know What is your Majesty's most taboo today, and do you know what the consequences will be if you are on the wrong team in a party dispute? If you are not careful, you will lose everything! Grandpa, he now chooses to be right, and the ultimate goal is to keep the honor and favor of the Xie family alive! "
At this point, she took a slight breath and continued, "If you have a problem in your heart, you should practice in the military and earn military merit by yourself. Grandpa will naturally plan your future for you. But if you only care about immediate interests , without considering the long term, that is short-sighted!”
She thought that what she said was sincere, but she didn't expect that Xie Huaiyang immediately became angry and shouted, "You are short-sighted. If you don't let me consider my immediate interests, are you going to let me eat a big pie to satisfy my hunger?! I tell you Xie Ruzhuo, the third brother of the Xie family, if my parents hadn't made money from business, how could you have supported so many people with your small salary? After all, you have become a powerful official, and our family is the only one who is thankless! "
The ideas that Xie Huaiyang had been instilled by Lu over the years have become deeply ingrained, and it feels natural to say it now. He scratched his neck, and after saying these words, he felt very happy in his heart.
Xie Shengli was shocked by his words. Seeing his good grandson being taught like this by the Lu family, he said sadly, "You are a man, but you are not as long-term as your sister. Isn't it embarrassing? You have the nerve to say these things, Xie Huaiyang, you Where have all the books of saints and saints been read over the years? Have they all been fed to dogs?"
Seeing the quarrel between his grandfather and grandson, Xie Huaiyang didn't bother to talk to Xie Shengli anymore. He just snorted and said, "Grandpa, since you won't accept this gift, then I will risk being scolded and return it to my boss. There's just one thing, since you won't plan for me, there's no use to me. I have received a little favor from the Xie family, so in the future, please don’t stand in the way of my bright future!”
After he said these words, he glared at Xie Ruzhuo fiercely, then turned around and strode out of the door.
Behind him, Xie Shengli stared at his retreating figure and could not help but beat his chest and stamp his feet, saying, "What a curse, what a curse!"
Seeing this, Xie Ruzhuo and Lin Mu hurriedly supported Xie Shengli on the left and right to help him calm down. Xie Ruzhuo comforted him again, "Grandpa, I'm afraid the third brother may have picked up some bad habits in the army. Don't be like him. Young and energetic people will always suffer some setbacks before they can truly grow up. Wait until he is older. In time, he will surely realize how foolish his current thoughts are, and by then, he will understand your good intentions."
Xie Shengli shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid this villain will never understand me. How could he know that officialdom is like a battlefield, but killing people without blood and stabbing people in the back is so sinister and treacherous that a teenager like him can't Can a doll understand?!”
A few people managed to comfort him for a long time, but Xie Shengli just waved his hands and said, "You all go out first, let me be quiet first."
Xie Ruzhuo felt heartbroken when he saw Xie Shengli suddenly aged, but he had no other choice but to bow and retreat first.
Lin Mu blocked the door for Xie Shengli, and looked a little gloomy. He couldn't help but said, "Fourth Miss, it's not that this subordinate is too talkative, but this third young master is so outrageous!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Uncle Hai reprimanding, "Master, can you discuss anything no matter how big or small?"
Hearing this, Lin Mu suddenly held his breath. Although he closed his mouth, the expression on his face could not be concealed.
Xie Ruzhuo sighed and said, "Actually, what Brother Lin said is also what I want to say. It's just that grandpa is old and can't compare to when he was young. I'd like to trouble you to make some soup to soothe the heart and reduce the fire later."
After hearing this, Uncle Hai smiled gratefully and said, "Fourth Miss, the old lady has us here, don't worry." He really liked the Fourth Miss in front of him. Although he was young and ignorant before, now he knows more and more Be considerate of the elders in the family. Uncle Hai has read countless people, and he can clearly tell who is sincere and who is fake.
After a few more words, Xie Ruzhuo said goodbye, turned around and walked towards the old lady's room. Because of Xie Huaiyang, she had been delayed in the old man's room for so long that she might have missed Ji's breakfast.
Unexpectedly, just after passing the rockery, I met Xie Huaiyang again.
But this time, there was a slender young man standing next to him.
"Don't you have eyes? You can't even see when you're walking? If I get hit by you, even your ten lives won't be enough to pay for it!"
Xie Huaiyang rubbed his sore arms and looked sideways at the man in front of him with an annoyed look on his face. He was already so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, but now someone automatically bumped into the muzzle of the gun, so he didn't have to do anything!
Because the young man had his back turned to him, Xie Ruzhuo could not clearly see his appearance. However, after he spoke, Xie Ruzhuo was suddenly shocked.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, third brother, don't mind." The young man always had an apologetic smile on his face. He had a delicate baby face and fair skin. In contrast, , is actually younger and more attractive than Xie Huaiyang.
Xie Huaiyang was obviously aware of this, and he became more and more displeased with him. He immediately pushed him fiercely and said, "Are you worthy of my brother? Xie Huaiqi, don't take pictures of yourself in the urine." You look like a lowly concubine, like a dog, and you eat and drink for free in my Xie family, thanks to the generosity of my second aunt!"
As soon as he said these words, Xie Huaiqi's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he said timidly, "Third brother, how can you say that to me?"
Xie Huaiqi was a concubine, and he was born from an outside wife. At that time, the second master kept a famous prostitute outside. Because the family could not tolerate it, the prostitute became his concubine. Later, she gave birth to a son, Xie Huaiqi, before her second master. Unfortunately, the prostitute was not in good health and died within a few years.
After she died, the second master knelt in front of Xie Shengli's door for several days. The old lady begged again, saying that the second wife only had a daughter from a concubine, and it had been three years since the main wife came to the house, but she had no children. After all, this son was also from the Xie family. His flesh and blood cannot be left alone. The second lady also personally begged for mercy, and then Xie Huaiqi was allowed to enter the house.
However, because of his status as a concubine and his mother being an outsider, he has always been unpopular in the house. Even though he is older now, he looks timid to everyone.
Xie Ruzhuo had bullied him a lot in his previous life, but in the end, he was one of the few people in the Xie family who was kind to him.
Now that he saw Xie Huaiqi again, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and the steps he was about to leave stopped abruptly.
"What a joke. Why can't I say that to you? You're a vile person!"
Xie Huaiyang was originally very angry, but now that he saw someone to vent to, he felt much more relieved. Only by comparing with this kind of person can he find the pleasure of revenge. Yes, it doesn’t matter that the Xie family has been a famous family for hundreds of years, there are still such despicable things in the house!
"Calling others despicable doesn't make you any better!" Xie Ruzhuo couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up from behind the rockery and slapped Xie Huaiyang's hand away to stop him from nodding at Xie Huaiqi's head.
When he saw Xie Ruzhuo, Xie Huaiyang was stunned for a moment, then said bitterly, "Just stay here, I have nothing to do with you here!"
"I have the final say whether there is anything that concerns me!" Xie Ruzhuo protected Xie Huaiqi behind him, and then said angrily, "My good third brother, I really don't know that there is a person in our Xie family who doesn't know how to respect his elder brother. Descendants. It seems that what grandpa said is indeed right. All the sage books you read on weekdays have been fed to the dogs!"
It's okay that she didn't mention Xie Shengli. When she mentioned it, Xie Huaiyang was immediately ashamed and angry. He said with a stern face, "Xie Ruzhuo, let me tell you, don't think that you are a girl, so I won't dare to hit you. If you piss me off, I won't even bother you." Let’s clean it up together!”
"Then it depends on whether you have this ability! Xie Huaiyang, I can guarantee that if you dare to touch a finger on me today, I will prevent you from staying in the school camp intact!" Xie Ruzhuo sneered, not treating Xie Huaiyang at all. threat in his eyes. She is the legitimate daughter. Although her mother is dead, her grandfather's power is no better than that of others. The leader of the school captain's camp was her grandfather's former general. When Xie Huaiyang entered the school captain's camp, it was because of her Xie Ruzhuo's relationship. Woolen cloth!
