Chapter 8: The Wife's Family

His Majesty Li Er was talking to Princess Gaoyang all the way. When talking about the things Xie Jiu taught her, the girl had a lot of words, but in her tone, the words and sentences were quite particular, which made people feel that she was grateful and admired Xie Jiu, but it was just a teacher-student relationship, and there was no special place. Wei Chi felt warm in his heart. Is this girl protecting Xie Jiu in her way? Although she didn't necessarily need to be so careful, it would be good to have this heart, and it would be useless for Xie Jiu to love her.

After walking back to the convoy, she got on the carriage again. Princess Gaoyang said she was riding a horse and blew all over the dust and went to wash her. Everyone went together. Princess Gaoyang took the initiative to take on the task of serving her father, serving her face, and then called the eunuch to change her clothes with clean clothes. After that, she took care of Yizi again. Li Zhi finished it and started to clean herself up. The careful and considerate aspects made people feel very comfortable.

After Wei Chi was also washed out, His Majesty Li Er was standing outside with a smile and didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw Wei Chi coming out, he waved to Wei Chi. Wei Chi went over, His Majesty Li Er said, "When you arrive at the post station later, I will ask your wife, I want to ask questions."

"Yes, your Majesty."

After saying that, His Majesty Li Er went back to his imperial guard. Wei Chi was about to leave, but Gao Yang called him worriedly: "Master, Min'er... Have you caused trouble for the master?"

Wei Chi walked over, looked at her with a smile, and said, "It was very appropriate to deal with it just now, why are you wondering again now? Don't worry, it's okay, at most, you're doing a good job, you have kept your master in mind all the things your master taught you, that's enough! Okay, take Yizi and the others back to rest. I've been riding for so long, so I'm very tired. Don't think about it, there's also Master, Master!"

"Um!"

Gao Yang's worried little face cleared up. He happily pulled Yizi, waved goodbye with Wei Chi and went back to his carriage. Wei Chi's feelings were quite complicated. This Gao Yang princess was very different, or she had never overlapped with the Gao Yang in Wei Chi's memory, because their experiences were already different. If personality determines destiny, then Gao Yang's character now is very different, and his fate... should be different, right? As long as you can live well, you don't have to care about anything else? Wei Chi smiled and looked up at the blue sky. The warm sunshine shone on his body, and his whole body was warm.

When he arrived at the small county town in the evening, His Majesty Li Er specially sent someone to come over to tell Wei Chi that he would not have to make a small stove. Today, the imperial chef who came with the team had a meal. His Majesty Li Er asked Wei Chi's family to come over and have an imperial banquet together. However, His Majesty Li Er ordered the pickles brought by Wei Chi, and if he wanted to eat them, he could take them there.

After cleaning up, I asked Mrs. Liu, Zhaodi and Lier to go with me. When I was eating, Wei Chi and Xie Jiu couldn't resist Qilin. When the children were eating, they were like fighting. The children often ran around in front, while the parents and elders chased each other with food behind, hoping that the children could eat more. The problem of children's eating has always been a very headache.

When Wei Chi's family arrived, no one else participated in the so-called imperial banquet, only His Majesty Li Er's family, plus the Wei Mansion family. When Wei Chi and the others arrived, the wet nurse was chasing Princess Xincheng to feed the food. Seeing that Qilin and his brothers were coming, the new city princess ran over and ran over to Linlin. As soon as she came, she hugged Linlin and ate it on Linlin's face with her arms "pa" and bitten on Linlin's face. Poor Linlin was obviously scared, with two big packs of tears in her eyes, but she dared not fall. She turned her head and looked at her mother with aggrieved look, stretching her arms to ask her mother to hug her. I guess as soon as Xie Jiu hugged her, she would definitely cry.

Wei Chi shook his head for a while, "It's so unpromising, it's so unpromising. He was actually scared to tears by the girl's kiss. It's so no future. He will still count on him to stall in the future. Looking at this posture, it seems that his future is really bright, and it's still dull and has no hope!

The child's father secretly complained about his son, and did not say he had a little sympathy to coax him. He just hugged his daughter and muttered to do opportunity education, such as boldness, carefulness, quick action, and three-character ruthlessness. Is this what he could say to the child? The child's mother glanced at him, reached out and pinched the child's father, reminding him not to be unemployed, and then turned around and hugged the son and coaxed him softly, and finally didn't cry. However, he was in his mother's arms and refused to go out again. His eyes were all looking at the Princess Xincheng. As long as the princess Xincheng had the intention of coming, his little body immediately shook his head in his mother's arms, looking very unpromising.

After coaxing the children to eat, Mrs. Liu and the others took them out to play. Wei Xie and the others had the opportunity to eat their own meals. Wei Chi secretly looked at Empress Changsun's side. It seemed that the Princess Xincheng had just finished it and started eating her own.

During the meal, pickles and other things are of course essential. In order to have a meal at the imperial banquet today, Wei Chi specially prepared a plate of cold pineapple eggs. Although they didn't smell good, they tasted very delicious. By the way, after the pineapple eggs were made, they were only circulated among the various palaces and between the villages, and the palace... that was unnecessary. Wei Chi never thought of recommending them to the palace. After all, the smell was there, and there was no way.

Li Zhi, Gao Yang, and Yizi, had eaten in Wei Mansion many times, and they were quite emotional about pickles and other things in Wei Mansion. When he saw Wei Chi bringing him over, he used his chopsticks without hesitation. Seeing that his three children were eating with relish, His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun also tried it. As expected, Wei Chi's reputation for delicious food is endless.

His Majesty Li Er said, "No wonder these three children ran to Ziyue when they were eating. It turned out that there were such delicacies. Ziyue was hateful. He only cared about enjoying it himself, and never thought of giving it to me and the queen as well?"

Wei Chi smiled silly and said, "Your Majesty, these foods are all foods for ordinary people. I am afraid that Your Majesty and the Empress will not look down on you, and I am afraid that you two will not be used to it, so...hehe."

His Majesty Li Er glanced at him, as if he was too lazy to talk about him anymore, so he simply buried his head in his meal. By the way, after a day of travel, he was really tired and hungry. In order to facilitate the journey, there was no saying that one meal was three meals a day. He basically had two meals a day. He had one meal before departure in the morning, and then it was evening. At noon, he basically had snacks and tea, and he could just make do with it.

After three rounds of meals, everyone had almost finished their meals. Today, the so-called imperial banquet was actually a trick to trick Wei Chi into the pickles brought by him. The dinner party was about to end. His Majesty Li Er seemed to accidentally talk about what Gao Yang said while riding a horse and walking around today, and the changes in Gao Yang's eyes were always seen. He asked Xie Jiu: "Madam Wei, why did you teach Gao Yang these things? You must know that Gao Yang is my daughter, a princess, a wealthy, a fief, a salary, and a life of food and clothing. It is useless to learn these."

Xie Jiu looked at Gao Yang with a warm look, first glanced at Gao Yang, comforted her silently with his eyes, and then said calmly: "Your Majesty said, my wife does not agree. My daughter's family always has to take care of her husband and children and manage the family business in the future. Gao Yang is a princess. This is her identity, but she is also a girl. She learns some things from girls. After marriage in the future, she will not be in the dark and knows nothing. In the future, many people will rely on her to have a meal and live. Since she has taken on the position of the master's family, she must do her duty. My wife has no talent and virtue and does not understand any principles. Your Majesty can't teach her badly. She has to teach her what she understands, knows, and has nothing to do with her. She just hopes to help the princess's future."

"What about the wife's family?"

His Majesty Li Er smiled slightly and said, "If all the women and men need to understand the things taught by Mrs. Wei and Gaoyang, then my women and men in the Tang Dynasty would be amazing."

Xie Jiu was not surprised by his favor and disgrace, and bowed calmly and gracefully: "Your Majesty is too proud, but my wife is ashamed of her."

After talking for a while, Empress Changsun obviously became interested in this topic and joined the discussion. As she spoke, she was managed by ordinary families and unknowingly mentioned the accounts in the palace. Empress Changsun was also the person in charge of the entire harem expenses. She had some experience in the accounts, but, after all, it was not professional, and some things could only simply increase revenue and reduce expenditures. It was obviously not efficient in terms of capital utilization. Xie Jiu listened on the side, and occasionally made suggestions or opinions, which always gave Queen Changsun some new inspiration and sighed repeatedly: "If you just ask Mrs. Wei as soon as possible, then the palace should be more frugal and more efficient."

Xie Jiu smiled and said, "It's not too late now. My wife has also gained some experience in managing the family business and managing family expenses in recent years. As the Empress asked me a few years ago, I'm afraid I can't answer it."

So, the imperial banquet and the conversation finally turned into a discussion meeting between two housewives. His Majesty Li Er listened with relish, as if everything he had learned. His Majesty Li Er said that the way of governing the family and the way of governing the country seemed to have something in common, and they learned from each other and learned from each other, which had a role. Only Wei Chi was dozing off when he heard it, so he simply held the tired twins and patted them gently to coax them to sleep.

The atmosphere of the talks was harmonious and the harvest was huge. Although the little girl Gaoyang was much more steady, she was a child after all. Seeing that Xie Jiu was praised, she couldn't help but look happy. Although she tried hard to suppress her face, her little face was still red with excitement. Looking at Xie Jiu's eyes, they were shiny like two small stars. As she was speaking, the eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, you have a hurry to report!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "Come on."

The eunuch quickly submitted a press conference. Seeing that His Majesty Li Er had something to do, Wei Chi and Xie Jiu were not convenient for him to stay for a long time, he quickly said goodbye. Unexpectedly, Empress Changsun was excited and wanted to pull Xie Jiu over to her residence before continuing to talk. So Wei Chi and others had to transfer their positions. When they came out, they saw His Majesty Li Er watching the press conference, and his face and expression were so ugly. Before he finished sighing, he saw His Majesty Li Er throwing the press conference "snap" and cursing angrily: "Nonsense! Where is the official who is the edict?"

"Go back to your Majesty, I am here."

"Tell me the oral order, tell Li You that not to mention being sick, even if you are dying of illness, as long as you have a breath left, you will have to climb to Luoyang for me! I must take his studies and martial arts, and allow him to take the doctor with me! In addition, I will send an order to the entire army to hurry up and arrive in Luoyang as soon as possible!"

After a while, the decree officer rushed out and rushed to pass the order of His Majesty Li Er. Everyone looked at each other and Empress Changsun slowly said, "Madam Wei, Your Majesty is getting angry. It seems that I can no longer talk to Mrs. Wei today. Let's leave this for another day."

Xie Jiu said: "Empress, even if she is going to work, her wife and others will surrender."

After saluting, Empress Changsun returned to His Majesty Li Er, and Wei Chi and his family were about to go back to their room. As soon as they turned around and were about to leave, Gao Yang jumped out, hugged Xie Jiu's waist, and called out: "Master!"

Xie Jiu stretched out his arms and hugged her, and said angrily: "Little girl, cause trouble for the master."

Gao Yang smiled shyly, lowered his head, and whispered: "Father asked, Min'er hopes that his father also understands how powerful Min'er has. As long as his father knows, no one dares to talk about his master again."

Because of Xie Jiu's background, Gao Yang became her apprentice and could only come quietly. However, even if he came quietly, many people knew about Xie Jiu and Gao Yang. Gao Yang never thought of hiding it. Although he did not deliberately make a high-profile, he was not low-key. In this world, there are always some people who care about so-called identity, status, origin and other things when they were idle. Then, they said some sarcastic words behind others, intending to belittle others and elevate themselves, but in fact they were hiding their inferiority complex and satisfying their perverted habits. Xie Jiu never cared about these things, but Gao Yang couldn't care, and always held a sense of enthusiasm in his heart, wanting to prove it for Xie Jiu and call Master Xie Jiu legitimately.

Xie Jiu understood Gao Yang's thoughts. Although he was grateful, he did not agree. So Xie Jiu asked Gao Yang seriously: "Do you mind my origin and origin?"

Gao Yang shook his head anxiously and said, "Master knows that Min'er has never cared about it. Min'er just doesn't want his master to be wronged. Min'er's master is better than others, and others even have master's..."

Xie Jiu covered Gao Yang's little mouth, stopped her from saying some mean words, and said in a stern voice: "That's enough! As long as you don't care, I don't care, what's the use of others' care? As long as the people who are concerned don't care, no matter how much others say, it's useless. We don't need to blame anything, nor do we need to say mean and ugly words because of this. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the same as those people? Girls, keep your noble and elegant and don't make yourself a vulgar person, that's too ugly."

“Yes, Master.”
