Chapter 774: Showing Off
Translator: 549690339 |
In the three years that Xiao Baoxin had married into the Xie family, he was either having children or on the way to having children. In between, there were also all kinds of wars.
In short, regardless of whether it was Xiao Baoxin or Xie Yan, they did not appear on the clan archive.
In the eyes of the world, this was undoubtedly the Xie family’s disapproval of Xiao Baoxin. Although Jiankang City was too lively, regardless of whether it was the Xiao family or the Xie family, any small matter would be infinitely magnified. Countless people were waiting to see the excitement of the two families.
Therefore, even though there were all sorts of legitimate reasons for Xiao Baoxin not being on the clan register, there were still many people who complained.
Xie Xian did not care about his reputation. At most, he would settle the score in the future. If he couldn’t run away, he couldn’t avoid this and that. It was all in his heart. There was nothing he could do about his brain being too good. He remembered everything too well.
However, Xiao Baoxin was different. Xie Xian cherished her reputation more than he did.
Especially since there were such rumors among the Xie clan, he couldn’t take it lightly.
He couldn’t understand. Was his performance not obvious enough? Why did people think that he didn’t like Xiao Baoxin and didn’t approve of her? He wanted her head to be on his head!
When she was laughing at him, she said that he was afraid of tigers and doted on his wife. Why was it that when it was his wife’s turn, she started to say that he was simply using the Xiao family and that he did not like her from the bottom of his heart?
Be reasonable?
It wasn’t that he was bragging, but if he, Xie Xian, wanted to achieve something, would he still have to sell his body and body?
Who are you looking down on?
Taking advantage of the rare free time, he greeted Xiao Baoxin and directly dragged his family to Xiapi.
He could say that he was fine, but he definitely could not say that his wife was. He could not leave any room for anyone to talk.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t mind. If Xie Xian hadn’t mentioned it, she would have forgotten about the clan certificate. Who asked her to be from a small family and not go through this before? She didn’t know anything.
No one dared to mention the gossip outside in front of her. Had she not been beaten up before?
Cai Wei had never mentioned it in front of her, but she didn’t know if it was because she had never heard of it before, or if she felt that everything was just floating clouds in front of Xie Xian’s doted wife, and that she would treat it as a joke.
In any case, it was not a bad thing to have the clan register, so there was no reason to decline.
It was rare for him to go out of the city, so Xiao Baoxin treated it as a vacation.
It was just that this was the first time he was together with his old son, Xie Yan, so both mother and son felt a little awkward.
Fortunately, Xie Xian was a considerate person. During the entire process, other than chatting with Xiao Baoxin, he was taking care of Xie Yan.
She told him about her family and the court. Whatever came to mind, she would tell him.
If he didn’t know his old son’s background, Xiao Baoxin would have thought that Xie Xian was sick. He said such profound and ridiculous things to a child who wasn’t even two years old.
.. No, Xie Xian didn’t know either.
Letting Xie Yan come into contact with these so early, wasn’t it too much?
Can’t you hope for your son to become a dragon? Does your neck have to be stretched as long as noodles?
Xiao Baoxin and Xie Yan were a little nervous. Did her husband (father) see through this or not? Was this purely the basic operation of the Xie family?
Was he so smart?
It couldn’t be helped. Xie Xian wasn’t an ordinary person. Even if other people put their brains together, they might not be able to catch up to him.
They couldn’t be blamed for being paranoid. This person was a paranoid person to begin with.
In the end, even Patriarch Xie’s jaw dropped to the ground when he saw it.
“Xuanhui, isn’t it a little too early for you to talk about the way of a gentleman…He was just a little villain. Did he know what a gentleman was and what Dao was?”
He almost pulled off his beard when he spoke.
How embarrassing was he as the clan leader? She had already given birth to two children, yet she only saw him now.
They were indeed handsome, each more handsome than the other.
However, when he looked at Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian’s faces, he was no longer surprised. His parents were good-looking and had roots here. It was not strange for them to look like this.
If one had to say that it was rare, then it had to be said that Xuan Hui’s wife was very rare and good-looking.
The clan leader had sixty to seventy years of experience, so he still had some sense of aesthetics. She couldn’t help but mutter in her heart. No wonder Xie Xian had married under the pressure of the entire clan and the public opinion of the entire Jiankang City. He had the capital.
Of course, it was also because of the former emperor’s great favor. Otherwise, Xie Xian’s future would be gone with the rule of not marrying.
For a beauty…That could be considered going all out.
“.. You are too eager to be a monarch No matter how smart you were back then, your father wouldn’t have told you this so early. It was not good for a child to come into contact with those things too early. Darkness.”
“I saw that he liked it, so I told him a story.” ”
Xie Yan: ” This is really not my fault. It’s your fault for telling it so vividly. It’s deeply rooted in people’s hearts.”
Xiapi was only five or six hundred miles away from Jiankang, and it would take less than a day and a night to travel down the river.
They set off from Jiankang on the morning of April 22nd and arrived at noon on April 24th.
The Xie Clan’s Patriarch sent his eldest son and a dozen people to welcome him. He put on the airs of a Patriarch and made it clear that although he was an important official in the court and could command the wind and rain, he was the Patriarch and respected him.
After the reception, they had their fill of food and wine, and when they talked about Xie Yan, a smile finally appeared on their faces. His old face was full of wrinkles as he smiled.
In his previous life, Xie Yan was seasick and couldn’t sit on a boat. Once he sat on it, he would vomit until the sky turned dark. But in this life, he might have inherited Xiao Baoxin’s natural good physique. He jumped around happily along the way, and the feeling was indescribable.
Xie Yan was born with a personality that pleased others, and it was from his previous life. He had thoughts, but this personality was formed at a young age.
It couldn’t be helped. Although he was the crown prince, his father had too many sons. He had to curry favor with him.
As a result, this personality of his could not be changed even after following him for his entire life. He always wanted a good reputation and a good impression. It was the same in this life. At home, he fawned over Xie Xian, Lady Yuan, and Mother Xie. When he left Jiankang City and saw the Xie Clan Leader, he coaxed the Xie Clan Leader into being obedient. How could he still be dissatisfied with Xie Xian?
No matter how dissatisfied he was, he was dissatisfied that he had brought Xie Yan back too late. He regretted not meeting him earlier!
This child was beautiful, well-behaved, intelligent, and knew how to read people’s eyes. If he was properly nurtured, he would have a boundless future than Xie Xian.
The Xie Clan Leader had never thought highly of Xie Xian in his life. He was exceptionally intelligent, but he was too cold, arrogant, and aloof, giving off a feeling that he was difficult to get close to since young.
Of course, this was the only time in his life that he had made a mistake.
Back then, he had thought of making things difficult for Xie Xian, but that was all thrown out of the Nine Nights Cloud. He had no choice but to hand over the clan archive. If it weren’t for the rule of opening the ancestral hall in the afternoon, he would have written it personally. He was simply too enthusiastic.
” A gentleman has nine thoughts: to look at things like they are beautiful, to listen to things like they are clever, to look at things like they are gentle, to look at things like they are respectful…” Xie Yan’s small mouth opened.
The Xie Clan Leader’s mouth was so wide that it could almost stuff an entire fish in, and his little tongue could even be seen.
Xiao Baoxin wasn’t around and was surrounded by the women of the clan as if they were looking at a rare object. Otherwise, she would have kicked him away from the side. Too ostentatious, too arrogant.
Are you really a child?
Not only was she acting cute, but she was also showing off? You’re an old man in your forties who was once an emperor. What’s there to show off about knowing some knowledge?
