Chapter 321 The Ninth Master of the Xie Family
The tough wife of the chief minister did not make any unreasonable demands because of her husband's favor. His concubines in the backyard should be left alone, and there was no argument that the backyard would be cleared for one person - after all, even if the concubine's room was dealt with, it would be impossible to deal with it. The sons and daughters who have already given birth are stuffed back into the house.
So the wives and concubines lived together peacefully.
As for whether it is truly peaceful, probably only the chief minister and his wife know.
But there is one fact that everyone knows.
The Xie family has many heirs, but except for the precious Xie Jiuye, none of them are valuable. They all say that concubines and concubines are equivalent to half of the family's slaves. This saying is implemented extremely thoroughly in the Xie family.
Mr. Xie Jiu is the young master. The other 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 young masters of the Xie family who were born before him are just weeds with a sense of existence but no status. They don't even dare to fart in front of him.
And the ninth master of the Xie family, like his father, is romantic and affectionate by nature, and has a handsome appearance and a pair of charming phoenix eyes. He has fascinated thousands of girls in the brothels of the imperial capital, and has firmly overshadowed the four major families, including the royal family. All the noble sons among them are popular in the entire imperial capital and are firmly seated on the throne of the uncrowned number one son.
The sun is setting in the west and the cloud light is fading.
The quiet and elegant backyard of the Xie family's residence is filled with lake light and smoke. The young master, dressed in white and black robes, is lying weakly and bonelessly on a bench by the lake. His appearance is handsome and charming, his eyebrows are lazy and comfortable, and his narrow red phoenix eyes are exuding a breath of fresh air. The soul-stirring shimmering luster can be called a monster.
The clear and clear sound of the piano came to my ears, melodious and graceful, like light smoke and gurgling water.
"The ninth master of the Xie family is either in a brothel or a casino every day. It's rare to see such a peaceful appearance today. Is he about to change his gender?"
A handsome young man in a blue robe came over, waving a folding fan. He was handsome and calm, and looked particularly elegant under the setting sun of the cold winter month.
The man playing the piano not far away closed his eyes and strummed the strings with concentration. His voice was calm and he said in a calm voice: "How quiet are the years? Are you not afraid of insulting Master Jiu by saying this to him?"
The blue-robed young master walked over and sat on the ground. There was brewed tea on the grass by the river, freshly baked snacks that had not yet cooled down, and several jars of fine wine, all of which you could take for yourself.
"Insult?" The blue-robed young master chuckled, and then nodded casually, "That's true. Being able to cut off a person's flesh piece by piece, and then roast it and watch the other person eat it, apart from Xie Jiuye, I'm afraid there is no one else. The two of them are so ruthless, and the peaceful years really have nothing to do with him."
As soon as he said this, the man playing the piano across from him paused with his fingers, and the sound of the piano was immediately disrupted.
He simply stopped and slowly raised his eyes to look at the man curled up lazily in the recliner, "When did this happen? Why didn't I know?"
"You've been away from the imperial capital all year round, so it's normal for the news to be blocked." The blue-robed young master said calmly, "Tell me, why do you want to see me?"
Mr. Xie Jiu, who was lying on the recliner, opened his eyes slightly, with a tired look on his face: "Tomorrow we will go to the palace to attend Princess Feng's husband selection banquet. All three of us will go."
The blue-robed young man was stunned: "Husband selection banquet? Did I hear that correctly?"
"If there's nothing wrong with your ears, you should have heard it correctly." Mr. Xie Jiu said in a casual voice, "If you don't go, you know the consequences."
The blue-robed young man frowned: "What the hell is this?"
The young master playing the piano thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and looked at the man in black walking over not far away: "Qin Shu, isn't this what the master meant?"
The man in black is tall and tall, wearing a black robe as cold as frost, with a cold aura, and the whole person is like an unsheathed sword - it is the Qin Shuqin whom Nan Xi once met in the Jiuxiao Pavilion on the top of the blue clouds. Young Master.
"Yes." Qin Shu was taciturn and just nodded lightly, "The ministers in Dongling are in a hurry, so we have to deal with it."
The man playing the piano frowned, seeming troubled: "What if Princess Feng really falls in love with me?"
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted three pairs of contemptuous eyes.
"you?" "
The young master Fuqin was blatantly laughed at, but he didn't get angry at all: "It's better to look down on him. I can live for two more days. I'm afraid you have to be careful. If this face gets into trouble, be careful that the master will also let others take care of him." Cut off your meat piece by piece, roast it and eat it yourself."
"That's not the case." The blue-robed young master said slowly, "I think the best it can do is scratch his face so that he can no longer use his troubled face to deceive simple and ignorant little girls."
"Let me tell you a true thing." Qin Shu walked to the river and sat down, carrying a pot and pouring himself a cup of tea. "Princess Feng once liked a scholar named Gu when she was in the Zhou Dynasty. This scholar was later taken by the master. He was imprisoned in the dungeon of the Prince Regent's Palace and suffered so much torture that his legs were almost useless and there was no intact flesh left on his body before he died."
"It is said that words spoken by taciturn people are usually the most convincing, but at this time I have to doubt the authenticity of this sentence." Xie Jin raised his lips, "Isn't it because the person named Gu committed suicide?"
Qin Shu glanced at him: "There will always be people in this world who take the initiative to commit suicide."
Xie Jin chuckled casually, with unparalleled grace: "Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen to me."
The young man in blue robe said calmly: "When I came out of the house just now, I saw Prince Qi passing by. He should be looking for my general sister... One of them is delicate and beautiful, and the other is sturdy and heroic. The boy looks like a girl, and the girl holds a male script. It looks interesting."
The Chu family has the eldest son Chu Xuanyi, the eldest daughter Chu Hongyi, and a low-key and introverted bastard Chu Nanyi.
The man in front of him who is wearing a flowing robe in the winter and dares to wave a fan to pretend to be cool is Chu Nanyi.
In addition to the bastard of the Chu family, he is also a member of Jiuxiao Pavilion. In the eyes of all the powerful families in Dongling, he is the most inconspicuous bastard, but he is the boss behind the entire Dongling Imperial City money bank and ticket shop. He was also jokingly called by Xie Jin: "The bastard of the Xie family is worthless, and the bastard of the Chu family is priceless."
This is really true.
He has millions of taels of silver in and out of the account at any time. The silver of every noble family in the imperial capital is in his hands. What is it if not priceless?
Chu Nanyi spread out his fan and waved it, blowing his hair slightly: "Master really has no bottom line in order to pamper his wife, and he can even make the decision to choose a husband for her."
"Stupid." Xie Jin sneered at him, "If he really has no bottom line, what are we doing here? Isn't it just in case?"
