Chapter 673 Household Affairs

For example, why did the two of them fight?

Because of profit? A power struggle? Conflict of words? Personal grudge?

Who made the first move?

If things get serious, who will His Majesty and the Regent help?

What will Xie Shoufu and King Huainan gain from this dispute? What to lose?

In short, people's imagination is rich and boundless. As long as a reason is given, people will naturally make countless self-righteous guesses. This is a habit in the officialdom, a trend, and a sensitive and suspicious intuition. .

Therefore, in Chu Nanyi's opinion, being an official is really boring. He spends all day either trying to figure out other people's thoughts or being guessed by others, and he can't live his life at all.

"Let them resolve their own affairs." Nan Xi briefly imagined what would happen after King Huainan met Xie Shoufu, and then slowly shook his head, "I treat everyone equally, I am impartial, and it is not easy to interfere. their chores.”

Housework?

Chu Nanyi was stunned at first, and then realized that it was really a household matter.

This is a meeting between in-laws.

Since they are in-laws, there should be no murder. After all, Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao have returned from Huainan intact, and most of the Huainan King's anger should have disappeared.

Next, it depends on whether Xie Shoufu's attitude can influence the in-laws - after all, it was his son who abducted other people's children, and the primary and secondary responsibilities should be clearly divided.

So Chu Nanyi was a little relieved and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you think the plan I made is okay? If there are no problems, I can give you the acupuncture tonight and take a medicinal bath for half an hour after the acupuncture." , medicinal materials are relatively precious——"

"Medical materials are more precious?" Nan Xi raised her eyebrows, "How expensive are they?"

Chu Nanyi's voice paused slightly, and then he said calmly: "No matter how expensive it is, the Lord can afford it."

Nan Xi hummed.

"What I mean is not about the money, but that the medicinal materials required for medicinal baths are relatively rare and precious. I have to spend time looking for medicine." Chu Nanyi said, "The only medicinal materials in my hand at the moment are only enough for three baths. Once every three days, there will be no medicinal materials available after nine days, and I need to travel far. "

Nan Xi hummed: "How long do I need to go out?"

"It will take seven or eight days to go back and forth." Chu Nanyi lowered his eyebrows, "I will give the Lord acupuncture and medicine tonight. After the medicinal bath, I will tell Qingling how to use the prescription. After that, I will go out for a few days and take it internally. Qing Ling is responsible for the decoction and medicinal bath.”

Nan Xi was silent for a moment, nodded slowly, and was about to agree when she heard Rong Yu say: "It doesn't matter if you delay for a few days."

I have put it off for so many years, I don’t care about these few days.

Hearing this, Chu Nanyi said calmly: "Don't worry, my lord, the medicinal bath is just for Qingling to cook the medicinal materials in advance and pour them into the bathtub together with the hot water brought by the palace servants. There is no need for Qingling to wait on you personally, so Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about the protection between men and women."

Rong Yu looked at him expressionlessly and remained silent.

"Okay, let's arrange it this way." Nan Xi nodded, "Do we need someone to prepare a bathtub now?"

"yes."

Nan Xi quickly ordered Yin Yue to prepare, and then Chu Nanyi asked Rong Yu to lie down on the bed in the inner hall.

The sky outside is getting gloomier, with dark clouds and heavy humidity.

The lights in the Dazheng Palace were brightly lit, and everyone was busy. The palace people moved the bath bucket and placed it behind the screen. Chu Nanyi put the prepared medicinal materials into the bath bucket. Yin Yue and Yinshuang were responsible for leading the palace people to bring buckets of hot water. Chu Nanyi was sitting on the bedside stool and giving Rong Yu acupuncture, Qing Ling was quietly doing it aside.

Nan Xi couldn't help, so she just sat aside and watched, always paying attention to Rong Yu's expression and reaction.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the Xie family's study was extremely tense and solemn, depressing and chilling. There was a bow stretched to the extreme in the air, and there was a danger of breaking out at any time.

Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao stood aside quietly and obediently. Whether it was Xuanyuan Yao, who was righteous and as strong as a leopard in the military camp, or Xie Jin, who had always been proud and went his own way, they were all a little nervous at this time, for fear that the two fathers would disagree. Just start fighting.

But their worries were obviously unnecessary.

Xie Shoufu was always calm and calm, and even with some enthusiasm, he personally welcomed the King of Huainan into the palace, led him to his study, had the best tea in the palace brewed and delivered it, and even poured a cup of tea himself Pass it to King Huainan.

The King of Huainan, however, had a cold face from beginning to end, looking at Xie Shoufu as if he were a sworn enemy.

It is said that you should not hit someone with a smiling face. With Xie Chief Fu's attitude being so good, King Huainan would not be able to do anything to him even if he was dissatisfied. Moreover, after being a military general for so many years, he already knew that everything could not be solved by force.

The generals guarding the border entered the imperial capital and beat up the powerful officials. At best, it was a private matter, but at worst, it would definitely cause turmoil in the court. If the news was leaked and the censor reported it to Her Majesty the Queen, the matter would not end. .

There was silence in the study for a long time, and King Huainan finally spoke: "Are you ready for the dowry I asked you to prepare?"

dowry?

Xie Shoufu was silent for a moment, then looked at his son calmly and thought to himself, isn't his son getting a wife? Why do you need to prepare a dowry?

"I haven't had time to discuss this matter with my father yet." Xie Jin said respectfully, "Please give me some time. I will definitely prepare a generous dowry and satisfy the prince as much as possible."

Prime Minister Xie sighed in his heart. Look at his son. In order to successfully marry a wife, he has really humbled himself. I am afraid that he has never been so respectful in front of his own parents.

Prime Minister Xie couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Father." Xuanyuan Yao coughed lightly, "I have reported to His Majesty and the Regent on the day I returned to Beijing that Xie Jin will be Xuanyuan Xie in the future. His Majesty also agreed, so in the future-"

"Xuanyuan Xie?" Prime Minister Xie turned his head to look at his son, "Are you serious?"

Xie Jin nodded slowly.

"It is impossible for the royal family to marry a man as a wife. It is too unruly." Prime Minister Xie frowned, "I think it should be Prince Yao who married into the Xie family."

King Huainan said coldly: "It is not reasonable for the royal family to marry a man from another family as a wife."

Xuanyuan Yao nodded repeatedly. His father was right. His father was mighty.

Xie Jin also said in his heart that his father-in-law was mighty.

"I think there is still room for negotiation on this matter." Prime Minister Xie picked up the teacup and argued for his son's family status. "Jin'er and Yaoyao's affairs are destined to bear some criticism. What we should consider now is how to reduce this criticism, reduce secular comments and strange looks, and let the two people face this relationship more calmly-"

"This has nothing to do with who gets married." King Huainan interrupted him coldly, "This king didn't agree with their affairs in the first place. Giving in a step does not mean unlimited concessions. If you agree today that your son will be named Xuanyuan, this king will not pursue this matter anymore, otherwise there is no room for discussion."
