Facing the inquiring eyes of his little Phoenix, Qi Xiao wanted to say that he could do it, but he was so incompetent that he could...
Although his mother already had two older brothers who were in the army, so she wanted to lead him to become a son of a noble family, and she probably chose Xie Wanyin for this reason.
But the Qi family are all hard-nosed, and they still have a warlike element in their bones!
Therefore, he liked to follow his father since he was a child. When his mother forced him to play the piano and flute, his father would help him cover up and let him run out secretly.
As the saying goes, you will only know how good a book is when you use it, and you will know how good it is only when you play the flute...
Looking down at the music score in his hand, which was obviously much more difficult than anything he had ever seen, Qi Xiao finally gritted his teeth and said that he could learn it.
Emperor Sheng De expressed sympathy for this, and there was a hint of schadenfreude in his sympathy that he was not even aware of.
There's no way around it. As one of the former rich men in Shengjing, he has a very good understanding of music.
Zhao Ling should learn this music score...
Difficult, difficult, difficult.
Unlike him, Feng Xi was very optimistic about Qi Xiao and said:
"Isn't it just playing the flute? You are the only Long Aotian in the book. You are so cool and awesome. Playing the flute is nothing. You will be sorry for yourself every day."
Qi Xiao: "..."
Although he knew that Little Phoenix was praising him, could he say that he didn't want to live together day and night...
After all, who in the right mind would do that kind of thing!
As for Emperor Sheng De on the couch, he was already pretending to be dead because of his daughter's nonsense.
As long as he pretends not to hear, he doesn't have to reprimand his daughter, and if he doesn't reprimand his daughter, he doesn't have to be angry with her.
Very good, he realized it.
Hiss, his neck and head still hurt a little, and he felt he had to lie down.
Since that day when the Princess Palace requested that Shengjing be cordoned off to search for assassins, Feng Xi stayed in the palace for five days on the grounds of being frightened.
During this period, Qi Xiao spent half of his time outside the palace handling affairs, and the other half of his time stayed in the palace to accompany Feng Xi.
During these five days, Li Cifu and others spared no effort to make demands, and their attitudes ranged from tough to slightly tired, and finally to irritation.
But no matter how they made trouble, the crown prince and the fourth prince suppressed them firmly, saying that they were wasting people and money for private purposes and neglecting public affairs.
It seems that because they are obsessed with Shen Ge Chuming, they are determined to blockade Shengjing.
Facts have proved that their persistence is very effective.
Because five days have passed, even though there are more and more people checking in front of the four city gates day by day, there is still no news of catching the assassin from the Princess Mansion.
On the contrary, because the conditions of the old Duke and the four drug testers showed no improvement, the Duke's Mansion caused two minor quarrels under the organization of the Xie family's eldest family.
The eldest son of the Xie family is also known as a master. After all, the eldest young master Xie Yao is one of the people who tested the medicine.
"The side clan who came to visit the old man before have now been divided into two waves. Some are still waiting and watching, and the other are walking around with the big house in private. As for those who are far away in the south, I am afraid they have also received news from the capital."
In the side hall of Yangxin Hall, Qi Xiao was studying the music score in his hand while chatting with Feng Xi, who was basking in the sun, about the follow-up of the Xie family incident.
After all, the Xie family is a century-old family, and their ancestors followed Taizu when he was in trouble.
Therefore, despite the fact that there are only a few direct branches of the Xie family today, there are a large number of collateral branches that are intertwined.
Among them, the Xie family in Nandi, also known as the Jiangnan Xie family, is a person that many local officials and wealthy businessmen look upon.
These people would go to Beijing to visit Mr. Xie every winter solstice. On the one hand, they needed the support of the Duke's government, and on the other hand, they wanted to express that they could do a lot for the government.
At least in recent years, the branch families have sent money to the Duke's Mansion, and naturally they have received a lot of protection.
As for what the Duke's office wants to do in the South, these branch families are naturally working hard.
For example, Xie Bin and his son had previously planned the land enclosure case for the county king.
The Duke's Palace and the branch family are mutually beneficial, and the direct line and the collateral line are win-win and symbiotic. This is why every head of the Xie family attaches great importance to the collateral line.
Now that the old man is ill and cannot afford it, the Guogong Mansion is about to be replaced by another person. Naturally, these branch families that are dependent on the Guogong Mansion have to find their own future.
Besides, Mr. Xie is already very old. Even if he wakes up, he may not be able to preside over the overall situation for a few more years. They might as well find a new master as soon as possible.
"Oh, so now half of these branch families support the eldest family member of the Xie family, and the other half are waiting to see the third family member. Anyway, no one supports me except Xie Fu and the others, right?"
The sunshine in early April was shining brightly. Feng Xi tilted her head and looked at Qi Xiao beside her, her bright eyes full of understanding sparkling.
Qi Xiao paused while playing with the jade flute, and a smile appeared in his peach blossom eyes:
"You don't have any face at all. No one supports you and you won't be angry. If it were the prince and the fourth prince, I'm afraid they would overturn the table by now."
Feng Xi looked calm about this:
"No matter how much garbage is piled up, it is still garbage. It just changed from a garbage to a garbage dump. And if you don't get the support of a garbage dump, what is there to be angry about? On the contrary, you are a pillar of talent and a heavenly being. Zhizhi, it is enough for me to have you, you are the god of me, really."
Qi Xiao: "..."
Is he the god of Little Phoenix?
No, he is just a good long-term employee of Little Phoenix, he understands, he understands everything.
However, he had to admit that Xiao Fenghuang was indeed very clear about the Xie family.
The direct line of the Xie family is either stupid or bad, while the collateral line is unprofitable and will not let go of the hawk until it sees the rabbit.
Today, the Xie family branch is basically divided into two parts. One part has been in contact with the Duke's government all year round, and is eager for quick success and sophistication.
These people are very useful and willing to work, provided that their superiors can turn a blind eye to them and often give them benefits.
For example, Mr. Xie, such as Xie Bin.
Therefore, most of these people are now in contact with the Xie family's eldest family, or there is the possibility of directly joining the other party.
After all, Xie Bin is now the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and his eldest son Xie Yao has also joined the Ministry of Punishment. He intends to inherit his father's legacy and marry a wife with a higher family status in the future. His future is unlimited.
My daughter Xie Wanyin has countless admirers. As long as she wants to, which one of the Fang family, Chu family, or even the Prince's Mansion and the Fourth Prince's Mansion can't go to?
As for Xie Bin himself, he probably wants to join the cabinet in the future.
Therefore, compared to Feng Xi, a moody new master who used to be a loser but is now being criticized like crazy, wouldn't the big house know more about it?
Others are either declining, cautious or extremely ambitious.
Most of those who are in decline are drifting with the crowd, and they can choose whatever the superiors choose. They have no right to speak anyway.
The cautious ones are still waiting and watching, perhaps to see if the old man can wake up and whether he will change his mind when he wakes up.
As for those who are extremely ambitious, they may be trying to get those idiots from the third room to take over, so that they can deceive these idiot family heads and gain more say.
As for Feng Xi being difficult to control, and having a master beside him to help manage her, it's really a terrible choice, isn't it?
