Chapter 126
Chapter 126
In the spacious and comfortable carriage, Xie Rongjin and Xie Yuejin sat opposite each other.
Xie Rongjin held a handful of banknotes in his hand, roughly counted them, and then looked up at Xie Yuejin.
"A total of 2000 taels, that woman is really willing to please my sister this time." After handing the silver ticket to Xie Yuejin, Xie Rongjin spoke in an unbelievably exaggerated tone.
2000 taels is not much for their aristocratic family. Even if the Xie family was silent before, the wealth accumulated by the ancestors cannot be underestimated.
But 2000 taels is a huge amount of private money for a housewife.
Even for the mistress of the Xie family, it is not easy to come up with such a sum of money in private, and it takes years of accumulation.
Xie Yuejin handed the silver ticket to the maid behind her, who took the silver ticket with both hands, and put the silver ticket under the partition of the jewelry box.
"She was just afraid that I would sue her father." Xie Yuejin stopped abruptly while speaking, "Actually, she was thinking too much. Father will not go over the uncle's face to teach his wife."
With Xie Yuejin's exquisite thoughts, she could hear the meaning from the time Xie Xuan gave her the words. Her father would never say that she should be the master of the marriage for no reason.
Xie Yuejin raised her hand and put it on the wrist of the other hand. There was a crystal clear bracelet on that wrist.
"Sister, is this the bracelet that boy Meng Yanxiao gave you?" Xie Rongjin caught a glimpse of it with sharp eyes, "I don't look at this bracelet very well. Is this the one handed down from your ancestors?"
Xie Yuejin lowered her eyes, touched the bracelet, her gaze was a little dazed, and she spoke lightly after a long time.
"Brother, do you believe that people can dream about past and present lives?"
"Yes." Xie Rongjin crossed his hands and put them behind his head. "I think I must have been a bird flying freely in the sky in my previous life, because I used to sleep and dream at night, and I always felt like I was flying in my dreams."
The melancholy in Xie Yuejin's heart was dissipated, "What kind of past and present life is that? It is said in the book that people grow their bodies after falling asleep, and then they will have dreams of flying up in dreams."
"Just kidding." Xie Rongjin put down his hand, then lowered his voice mysteriously, "But when it comes to dreaming about the past and present, I really once did."
"Stop talking." Xie Yuejin no longer believed Xie Rongjin's words, so she turned her head towards the door of the carriage to show her refusal to listen.
"Don't, sister, listen to me, I'm definitely not teasing you this time!" Xie Rongjin raised two fingers to assure, and then looked at the servants around, "You go to the carriage at the back for a meeting first, and I can only ask you to come over come over."
The maid got up, leaned back a little, then raised her hand and knocked lightly on the carriage door, but after a while, the carriage stopped slowly.
After the maids left, the carriage moved forward again, and Xie Rongjin said in a low voice, "A few days ago, I had a dream, dreaming that I became the head of the Xie family, and then brought the Xie family back to Shangjing. You have to avoid our sharp edge."
"Then your dream is really cautious enough." Xie Yuejin said coolly, "In my dream, I didn't even dare to have a dream that killed the Zhao family."
Xie Rongjin: "..."
Xie Rongjin couldn't find the words to refute for a while, and then he continued after a while: "That's not the most important thing, I also went to Yunhu Mountain to find my father in the dream, but the cottage in the dream was extremely dangerous, and I was almost killed several times. Bandits see through their identities..."
Xie Rongjin silenced his voice as he spoke, then forced a smile, "It's just a dream, let's not talk about it."
In the dream, he didn't find his father at all, he only got a little clue, and he traced the clues all the way, and also grew the Xie family all the way, and finally the clue pointed to Shangjing - the Zhao family and the royal family of the Yong Dynasty.
Then, before the dream was finished, he forcibly woke up, and never had that dream again.
However, it doesn't matter whether it was the Zhao family or the Yong Dynasty royal family who caused his father's disappearance back then, since neither of them existed anymore.
They were all killed by his father.
Xie Rongjin suddenly felt emotional, opened the window of the carriage, and looked at the endless mountains below the road.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Xie Yuejin was curious.
Xie Rongjin stretched out his finger, "I'm looking at the country of our Xie family, and my father is too powerful, he has achieved the highest level of glory."
For the first time, Xie Rongjin realized why those members of the Xie family were still willing to treat his father as their master after returning after many years of disappearance.
Not just blood, but this ability is invincible.
"Grandfather didn't make the unicorn dream for nothing." Xie Rongjin sighed as he closed the window.
A month later, the two of Xie Rongjin arrived in Shangjing.
"Uncle Clan!"
As soon as he got off the carriage, Xie Rongjin saw Xie Xuan and his party riding tall horses under the city gate, and immediately yelled happily.
"Xie Rongjin!" Xie Xuan's face darkened when he saw Xie Rongjin get off from Xie Yuejin's carriage.
"Even if Yuejin is your own sister, you should avoid suspicion outside." When Xie Rongjin approached, Xie Xuan got off his horse, approached Xie Rongjin and spoke in a low voice.
"It's not boring on the road. Talk to Yuejin, and there are so many waiters in the carriage, what can I do." Xie Rongjin shrugged, "Besides, you know, Uncle Clan, she has never seen Yuejin before. Father, I am also worried that Yuejin will be nervous along the way, so I will enlighten her."
"Uncle Clan." Xie Yuejin came over and blessed Xie Xuan.
"Princess, get on the sedan chair quickly." Xie Xuan pointed to the sedan chair not far away, Xie Yuejin nodded slightly, and then led the maid to the sedan chair, the maid lifted the sedan chair, and Xie Yuejin sat in.
"Uncle Clan, what about me." Xie Rongjin looked around, "You can't let me walk to see my father."
"The horse is ready for you."
As soon as Xie Xuan finished speaking, a city gate guard in armor brought a fine horse and walked up to Xie Rongjin.
Xie Xuan got on the horse, watched Xie Rongjin sit on the horse's back, then pulled the reins, and they walked towards the city gate.
After another half hour, several people arrived at the palace gate.
"Master Xie!" The guards at the gate of the palace saw Xie Xuan salute one after another, and at the same time glanced at the strange boy behind Xie Xuan, "Master Xie, who is this?"
"A pair of sons and daughters of the emperor." Xie Xuan said lightly, the guards quickly moved out of the way, retreated to both sides and knelt down.
"I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Let's go." Xie Xuan took a look at Xie Rongjin, several people rode into the palace gate, and after slowly entering through several gates, they dismounted.
"Okay, you two will come with me to see your father." Xie Xuan looked at Xie Rongjin and the two of them.
A trace of sadness flashed across Xie Rongjin's eyes, and he raised his hand to touch his chest.
The painting is still there.
I just don't know if it looks like it.
Xie Yuejin became nervous unavoidably. The father she hadn't seen since she could remember, the father who had always been mentioned by the elders——
Will you like her?
Xie Rongjin followed Xie Xuan for a few steps, and found that Xie Yuejin was still in a daze, and stopped immediately.
"Sister, what are you thinking, let's go!"
Xie Yuejin came back to her senses, and hurriedly followed the two of them, but the palms of the hands hidden under the sleeves were sweating involuntarily.
"Sister, are you nervous?" Xie Rongjin walked for a while before realizing it, slowing down on purpose, waiting for Xie Yuejin to come up, and then speaking in a low voice.
Xie Yuejin pursed her lips tightly, refusing to admit it.
"Don't worry, father, he just looks a little colder."
Xie Rongjin said a word of relief, but Xie Yuejin didn't feel relieved at all, but because of the word indifference, her heart beat even more.
Turning east and west, after one corridor after another, Xie Xuan was still striding forward, Xie Rongjin looked at Xie Yuejin who was already exhausted, and couldn't help it.
"Uncle Clan, how far is it?"
Xie Xuan stopped in his tracks and pointed in a direction, "Just ahead, we'll be there soon."
"This sentence has been said many times." Xie Rongjin muttered, and turned back to wait for Xie Yuejin to come up.
"Sister, it hurts to walk on your feet, how about I carry you on your back?"
Xie Yuejin shook her head, "I'm fine, let's go."
The three of them went around a few more corridors, and finally stopped in an open space under a palace.
"The emperor is usually dealing with government affairs, you can go in with me." Xie Xuan said.
Xie Rongjin and the two had no objections, so they followed behind Xie Xuan and walked into the gate of the palace with him.
"Father!" Xie Rongjin had just stepped into the gate of the palace, and when he saw the people above the palace, he immediately forgot the worries in his heart, and shouted out faster than his head.
"See the emperor, the prince and princess have arrived."
Qi Heng raised his head, his eyes slid past Xie Rongjin's body, and fell on the girl with her head bowed and her body tensed up.
"Yuejin."
Xie Yuejin pursed her dry lips, and after a while, she imitated Xie Rongjin and called out to her father.
"Have you often had nightmares recently?"
Xie Yuejin lowered her head, didn't dare to look up and just nodded indiscriminately, no matter whether the dream foretells the past life or not, it's just a nightmare anyway.
Qi Heng could tell at a glance that the traces of Xie Rongjin's two brothers and sisters were fluctuating. He changed the plot, and the original plot fell apart. Something that shouldn't be dreamed about.
Qi Heng quietly erased the traces on the two of them.
After doing all this, Qi Heng was able to look at Xie Rongjin leisurely.
"Xie Rongjin, where's the portrait?"
Xie Rongjin's smile froze, "So father, you haven't forgotten..."
Fortunately, he paints honestly.
Xie Rongjin took out the portrait that had been revised several times from his arms, and rushed to Xie Rongjin in three steps at a time.
Xie Xuan frowned, and raised his heart first, seeing that Qi Heng showed no sign of anger, he sighed helplessly.
Xie Rongjin, a stupid boy, just relied on the young master as his heir, and acted so ignorantly and mischievously!
Qi Heng unfolded Xie Rongjin's portrait, fell silent for a moment, looked at Xie Rongjin's shining eyes, and praised against his heart: "Forget it, at least the eyes are drawn realistically this time."
Although the other parts are still abstract, it can only be seen that they are individuals.
Qi Heng returned the painting to Xie Rongjin, and then looked at the girl with her head hanging down but stiff back, "Yuejin, you don't have to be so nervous."
"Yes." Xie Yuejin pursed her lips in response, she had seen the portraits drawn by her brother——
If the painting is like that, the father is not angry, so the father must have a good temper.
It's not too much for her to just take a look at her father's appearance, right?
Thinking of this, Xie Yuejin plucked up the courage to raise her head.
