Chapter 29 Summoning Snow
At this time, his sister-in-law came forward and proposed that she marry into the royal family. After all, it was the Wang family, Xie family, and Fan family who single-handedly facilitated Wang's succession. The direct lineage of the Wang family would marry, and those who were closer to the water would be the first to win. You can also help your younger brother consolidate his position as the clan leader and give him time to grow up.
Wang An Dingran felt extremely ashamed and reluctant to give up.
But for the sake of the Wang family's glory, they kept it secretly in their hearts.
As for the original wife, the little aristocratic girl, her death made no noise at all.
With the depression of the Wang family for a while, and the decline of the Jiangnan mother clan of the Crown Prince and Prince Chen, the Xie family and the Fan family took advantage of every opportunity, not that they couldn't swallow up the remaining resources of the other two families. It was purely because of a small disturbance. It can only make Wang lose some fur, but it won't hurt her muscles and bones.
The civil strife in the royal family of Qian'an caused various vassal states and surrounding foreign tribes to start to stir up trouble. During this turbulent period, Wang An showed amazing courage and talent. He first stabilized the family and then united with the northern families to put pressure on the major vassal states, forcing They sent troops to scare foreigners.
Then he united the vassal states to cut off the water transportation routes of the southern clans, which was half a threat and half a statement to stabilize the Qian'an Dynasty.
In this way, he gradually became the head of the Wang family and the prime minister of Qian'an. He even arranged for his family members to take important positions in the court one by one, and took control of the government.
The Xie family, who was originally watching from the outside, entered the game late, but relied on the Xie family's background to secure the position of Taifu.
Therefore, the entire Qian'an Dynasty can be said to be the speech hall of the Wang and Xie families. Even if the royal family issues a decree, it must be approved by the two families.
But the Xie family entered the game late after all, and almost all of the important military positions and positions in the imperial court were in the hands of the Wang family. No wonder Taifu Xie wanted to find another way to re-establish a new dynasty for the sake of the family's prosperity and continuation.
The spring sunshine was very comfortable. Xie Fengyue squinted her eyes happily and said in a lazy voice: "Zhezhi, where are Huanxue at this time?"
She didn't even move her hand to make tea. She opened her eyes and said nonsense: "How do I know where she is? She is a girl who can read and write. I can't restrain her."
Xie Fengyue looked at Zhou Shuyi aside and asked: "Sister, do you smell a sour smell?"
After sniffing it several times, she answered very seriously: "It smells like boiled fruit drink, it's not sour."
Xie Fengyue smiled and said nothing, while the tea-making branch snorted coldly.
"Huanxue is sweeping the floor outside the courtyard. Does the girl want to see her?" she said sourly.
Xie Fengyue looked at her with a smile but said nothing, Zhizhi's cheeks puffed up: "My slave is not free now. I have to make tea for the girl. If you want to call me, let Hua Rui call me."
Hua Rui responded with a smile and trotted out.
Seeing everyone smiling, Zhou Shuyi looked confused. She added a lot of sugar to the fruit drink and then asked: "Who is Huanxue?"
"Here, it's her." Xie Fengyue looked at the woman coming over with a broom and said.
The courtyard door was still some distance from the corridor, and Zhou Shuyi couldn't see the person's face clearly for a while: "This girl looks similar to you."
Xie Fengyue nodded: "If you put on my clothes, it will definitely look more like you."
When Huanxue came closer, Zhou Shuyi was even more surprised and said: "Her facial features are somewhat similar to yours~"
Xie Fengyue left in such a hurry before that she didn't have time to see what Huanxue looked like. This time, being so close, she could see her appearance clearly. She secretly praised Wang Yan for his thoughtfulness.
Huanxue bowed slightly and then said: "My slave Huanxue, can you come into the girl's inner room to serve me today?" Her words made Zhou Shuyi, who had always been carefree, frown unconsciously: "You girl, you are so rude, your questioning tone What does it mean? ”
Huanxue looked at Xie Fengyue without being humble or arrogant and asked again: "What do you think, girl?"
A strange color flashed in Xie Fengyue's eyes, and then she replied softly: "Just go into the inner room, and leave the waiting work to the branches and stamens."
Zhou Shuyi's eyebrows tightened when she heard that she was so talkative: "Why are you so good-tempered? A girl like this should be sold, and it would be a shame to keep her around." She paused for a moment. , whispered, "What's more, she looks so much like you."
Xie Fengyue's eyes were always on Huanxue, and she said softly: "This is the person sent by Gongzi Yan. I think she is a pretty good girl with personality."
Zhou Shuyi was still dissatisfied. She twisted the handkerchief and said, "If you are short of girls, I will send you two. I have girls who have been trained by the aunts in the palace. They are definitely better than this one."
Xie Fengyue put her hand on hers: "Sister Shuyi, why hasn't she changed her habit of twisting things when she's angry?"
"Thank you for your kindness, sister. I like this Huanxue."
After finishing speaking, she softly told Huanxue: "Let Huarui take you to Jinyuan today. There are some of my manuscripts there. I heard that you can read and help me sort them out."

Waiting for Hua Rui and Huan Xue to leave, Zhi Zhi, who had been silent all this time, choked out: "Do you want her to replace me or Hua Rui?"
Xie Fengyue originally thought that Zhi Zhi was just jealous for a moment, after all, when Hua Rui entered the back room.
She was very welcoming, but why did Huanxue react so much when it was her turn?
She asked in confusion: "What are you thinking about?"
Zhe Zhi's eyes turned red at some point, and her voice was filled with anger and grievance: "Is it because the girl doesn't want me anymore after seeing that she can read?" She looked down at her reflection in the water cup and continued to murmur, " I’m so ugly now.”
After hearing this, Xie Fengyue understood. It turned out that this little girl was having random thoughts. She remembered Zhe Zhi's face with only shallow marks and replied seriously: "Huan Xue was sent by Young Master Yan, how could he go past you? , what are you thinking about all day long?”
Zhe Zhi listened to what she said seriously, then suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with tears: "Is what the girl said true?"
Xie Fengyue sighed. There were too many things going on these days, and she didn't even care about Zhe Zhi's mood. It was also her fault for being careless.
"Zhe Zhi will always be the number one maid in my house!"
Zhe Zhi then broke down into a smile. When she was about to reply, she was interrupted by the sound of an announcement coming from outside the door.
"Miss Yue, Madam is back and wants you to go to her yard."
Xie Fengyue subconsciously looked at Zhou Shuyi aside, and felt relieved when she saw that there was no displeasure on her face caused by being slighted.
The princess stayed at the Xie Mansion, but the mistress of the house did not come to pay her respects first but instead called for questions. It was rare that Sister Shuyi did not lose her temper. She was really generous.
Seeing that Xie Fengyue didn't move, Zhou Shuyi urged her: "Go quickly, I'll finish drinking this pot of fruit and then go back to the yard." She pouted and blew on the steaming cup, looking like a food-oriented person. appearance.
