The dock is always a gathering place for various religions and streams.
Xie Shian was talking to four or five strong men with a smile on his face.
After he officially became the staff of Prince Gongxi's palace, the first idea he put forward was to win over these low-level people in order to achieve great things.
King Gongxi disapproved of his proposal.
He will make some achievements to prove that this path is correct.
After chatting with the strong man in front of him, Xie Shian looked up and saw a familiar figure standing on the big ship parked at the dock.
His lips couldn't help but tighten.
He had long known that this boat was his mother's property, but when he saw his mother standing on the deck, he still felt a little complicated.
If my mother had given this money to the Xie family, my father would not have died, he would not have lost an eye, and the Xie family would not have been lost like this...
Xie Shi'an stood at the edge of the dock and waited quietly. After Yun Chu finished his work and got off the boat, he stepped forward and said softly: "Mother, Princess Pingxi."
Yun Chu curled his lips and said, "After I left the Xie family, you finally didn't call me mother again. Does this mean that you have a new stance?"
Xie Shi'an lowered his head: "I became a staff member of Prince Gongxi's palace, and I found a job to make ends meet."
"Congratulations to you then." Yun Chu said softly, "I still say the same thing. I hope you can become an unyielding person. No matter which path you take, you should have your own character."
Xie Shi'an raised his head with a wry smile on his lips: "Who doesn't want to be a noble gentleman, but if I choose to be a gentleman, the Xie family will never get up again. My mother is right, I am indeed a selfish person, I can bend my waist for five buckets of rice, but if my mother needs me, I can turn around and work for Prince Pingxi at any time."
Yun Chu shook his head: "Pingxi Prince's Palace has no intention of competing, and I don't need you to do this for me. It's a mother and son situation. I only wish you well."
She paused and continued, "But if we really get to that point one day, neither of us will have to show mercy."
Xie Shi'an lowered his eyes, his eyes full of evil.
After his mother married King Pingxi, he and his mother were destined to go in completely opposite directions.
There will come a day when they stand on opposite sides, he holding a long sword and mother holding a short sword, and they will meet with swords.
He didn't want that day to come.
But I also hope that day will come.
At least it shows that he is qualified to be his mother's enemy, doesn't it?
When Yun Chu got on the carriage, he turned his head slightly and saw Xie Shi'an still standing on the dock, looking over here from a distance.
"Although he is a counselor in Prince Gongxi's Palace, he is blind in one eye and cannot pursue an official career. Naturally, he will not be able to achieve great things." Qiu Tong said, "And I heard that he was squeezed out and suppressed by other counselors in Prince Gongxi's Palace. I want to come , I won’t be able to stay in Prince Gongxi’s Mansion for long.”
Yunchu lowered the car curtain and said nothing.
The carriage drove forward slowly, walked out of the capital, and arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard on the outskirts of the capital.
Aunt Jiang was sweeping the floor at the gate. When she looked up, she saw a low-key and luxurious carriage parked in front of her.
When she saw Qiu Tong sitting outside the carriage, she immediately reacted and hurriedly threw down the broom and stepped forward to salute: "I wish you the best, concubine."
Yun Chu got off the carriage and said with a smile: "Aunt Jiang, you are so polite. Why don't you invite me in for a seat?"
Aunt Jiang was a little dumbfounded and quickly turned sideways to invite Yun Chu into the house.
In the past, when she and Yun Chu lived under the same roof, she did not dare to put herself and Yun Chu in the same position. Now, she has left the Xie family and Yun Chu has become the princess, just like the earth on the ground and the sky in the sky. Yun, the gap was getting farther and farther, she didn't even dare to raise her head to look at Yun Chu.
One can imagine how much courage she mustered up last time before she dared to go to Pingxi Prince's Mansion to ask for a meeting with Yun Chu.
Aunt Jiang quickly went to pour tea and carefully brought it to Yun Chu.
Yun Chu took a sip and then said, "How are you these days?"
"Thanks to the protection of the princess, Xie Shi'an didn't come again." Aunt Jiang said, "Brother Ti officially goes to school today, and Sister Xian is playing around at home."
Yun Chu nodded: "Are you planning to send Sister Xian to school?"
Aunt Jiang shook her head: "Just learn embroidery at home."
She lives in a narrow alley in the suburbs of Beijing. The people who live here are the most ordinary people. Girls from ordinary families generally do not go to school.
In the past, Sister Xian was the daughter of the Xie family. The Xie family was a scholarly family, so it was okay to learn to read and write, but now... there is no need to learn.
"Sister Xian, do you want to learn it yourself?" Yun Chu asked.
Aunt Jiang was keenly aware that there was something in these words, raised her eyes and asked: "What is this, Princess?"
"Chang Sheng, the little princess of Prince Pingxi's palace, is ready to be enlightened." Yun Chu said with a smile, "Chang Sheng wants Sister Xian to be his companion. What does Aunt Jiang think?"
Aunt Jiang's face was full of disbelief.
Generally speaking, the companion of the royal princess should be the daughter of a high-ranking official. How could it fall on Sister Xian's head?
"Wang, Wangfei, this is impossible." She waved her hands quickly, "I know that the princess takes care of us, mother and daughter, but there is really no need..."
Even if Sister Xian is still the daughter of the Xie family, her status cannot be brought to the public, let alone now.
She was worried that Sister Xian would bring trouble to the princess if she entered the palace.
"This is Chang Sheng's intention." Yun Chu said warmly, "If Sister Xian is also willing, I think it is not a bad thing."
She knew what Aunt Jiang was worried about.
Mainly because of Xie Xian's status as the concubine of her previous husband, it was easy for others to make a fuss about her.
If Chu Yi is someone who spends every penny, she will indeed hesitate.
But she knew that Chu Yi wouldn't care.
The most important thing is that Chang Sheng likes Sister Xian, and Sister Xian grew up in Xie's family. It's rare that she doesn't grow crookedly, so she is a good child.
Aunt Jiang saw that Yunchu had made up her mind, so she brought Xie Xian over who was embroidering in the house.
Xie Xian bowed and said, "Greetings to the princess."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Your mother has told you just now, are you willing to go to the palace to study with Chang Sheng?"
Xie Xian hesitated for a while and said, "Then can I go home again?"
She was afraid that she would never see her mother again after entering the palace, so she would rather not go.
"Of course." Yunchu took her hand, "You can go home every day, or you can come back every few days, it all depends on you."
Xie Xian's eyes were bright: "Then I am willing to study with Chang Sheng."
Aunt Jiang quickly pulled her daughter and reminded her in a low voice: "You should call Princess..."
Xie Xian was about to change her tune.
Yun Chu said: "Chang Sheng not only needs a reading companion, but also a friend. How Sister Xian got along with Chang Sheng before, how will she get along with her in the future."
Xie Xian nodded vigorously.
Yun Chu made an appointment with Aunt Jiang to arrange for someone to pick up Xie Xian after the female gentleman was found.
After talking about business, Yun Chu stood up and left.
Aunt Jiang actually wanted to keep Yunchu for a meal, but she didn't dare to ask, so she walked out of the alley and watched Yunchu's carriage disappear on the avenue.
