As an official second only to the emperor in the court, Prime Minister Xie has served in the position of Prime Minister for two dynasties. Naturally, his home is not comparable to that of ordinary officials.
Prime Minister Xie came from a poor family. After passing the imperial examination, he devoted himself to serving the country and the people. He rescued the emperor many times and was highly valued by the late emperor, who often entrusted him with important tasks.
Later, the late emperor saw that he was nearly thirty years old and still unmarried, so he arranged a marriage for him with a princess from the royal family and gave him a luxurious house in the capital.
This mansion was originally the residence of a duke. During the reign of the previous emperor, the duke unfortunately committed a crime and his property was confiscated. His entire family was exiled and the mansion became empty.
The Duke's mansion is naturally luxurious, exquisite, extravagant and beautiful. Even though the Xie Mansion has undergone many renovations over the years, its former glory can still be seen.
As soon as she entered Xie's house, Yan Xi was almost dazzled by the luxury and exquisiteness everywhere.
Oh my god, the Xie family is worthy of being the Prime Minister’s family. The level of luxury is not much different from that of the palace, right?
Fortunately, her course on being a lady of a noble family was not in vain. Although she was screaming wildly in her heart, she appeared calm on the surface.
Even Yan Zhuo and Yan Ling couldn't help being surprised. This surprise was not only because the Xie family was richer than they had imagined, but also because of the Xie family's undisguised publicity.
Originally, for the Xie family, the regulations of the Duke's Mansion should not be used by them. If the previous emperor had not said that the Xie family did not need to change the mansion, the censor who criticized Prime Minister Xie would have drowned him with spit.
However, a new emperor appoints new ministers. In today's era, the words of the late emperor are already a thing of the past. The Xie family who live in the Duke's Mansion not only do not keep a low profile, but are as ostentatious and unbridled as ever.
It seems that he is not worried at all that the current emperor would think that Prime Minister Xie is too successful and is a threat to the emperor.
I really don’t know whether to say they are confident or fearless.
Compared with the three of them, Yan Cheng was much calmer. Although the Xie Mansion was very luxurious and antique, it was not to the extent that shocked him.
The main reason was that the world-class mansion that served as his father's ancestral home in his previous life had already cleansed his mind, and all the rare treasures were just that insignificant.
In addition, there are many ancient-style TV dramas in modern times with different styles. Regardless of whether the things in them are true or false, we have seen them anyway and have left an impression in our minds.
The four of them didn't arrive early. When they arrived, there were already quite a few people in the huge venue. Seeing them coming, many people became interested and looked at them openly or secretly.
Yan Cheng, with his five senses that were superior to those of ordinary people, heard some discussions, such as "It's him, the twin", "Here, the second of the Seventh Prince you wanted to meet", "He is really good-looking", etc.
There were all kinds of people here, but no one said anything too extreme. But no one came over to talk to them either.
Perhaps because these people were unsure of Emperor Jingxi's attitude towards him, they planned to give him the cold shoulder first, so as not to offend him and prevent others from gossiping.
If Yan Cheng came alone, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with the quietness around him. He came to the poetry reading for two reasons.
Firstly, he didn't want Xie Guangling to lose face and be ridiculed and mocked by his parents and that fake one.
From the rumors in the capital and Xie Guangling’s brief self-narration, one can tell how busy his daily life is.
Secondly, I wanted to see what the place where Xie Guangling lives is like now.
Friends always like to report good news but not bad news. Xie Guangling said that he was living a good life, but he was always a little worried unless he saw it with his own eyes.
When Yan Cheng was at home, he said that he could come to the poetry reading alone. Now that the matter of the twins has become a hot topic, he is the focus of attention wherever he goes.
If someone else encountered this situation, they might get impatient and hide at home and be unwilling to go out.
But Yan Cheng refused to do so. Just look, he had a face that was rarely seen in this life. If others looked at him a few more times, it meant they had good taste.
If they met him and ignored him without even looking at him, he would suspect that they had abnormal aesthetic taste.
However, Yan Cheng prefers to go out alone and does not want his family to go out with him, especially to crowded places like poetry gatherings.
He himself doesn't care what others say. No matter how harsh the words are, they can't cause him any substantial harm. But his family members will get angry because of these words.
Anger is harmful to the body. The Yan family has already been caught up in a vortex of chaos because of him, and he doesn't want anyone in his family to become sick because of him.
So he took out the invitation and said that he came to the poetry reading alone.
But as soon as these words were spoken, they were met with three objections, coming from Chu Yuan, Yan Xi, and Yan Luo respectively.
Everyone was worried about him going to a poetry reading with so many people alone and without any support.
In the end, the four people who came to Xie's house after much discussion were Yan Cheng, Yan Zhuo, Yan Ling and Yan Xi.
Yan Luo also wanted to come, but unfortunately the school was not closed on the day of the poetry meeting, and his family would not let him take leave, which made him very depressed and he did not sleep well at night.
Yan Ling later found Yan Cheng and said that he wanted to come to the poetry meeting. He has always admired Prime Minister Xie, and this time he came to Xie's house mainly with the purpose of seeing his idol a few more times.
Another thing is that I want to help Yan Cheng.
During the days he lived in the Yan family, Yan Ling finally understood that the stories of Yan Cheng being bullied at home and brothers fighting over the family property were completely untrue.
These unfounded accusations were all made up by his younger brother to fool him, just to give him something to do so that he wouldn't always think about sneaking away to the southwest to join the army.
After figuring this out, Yan Ling was angry for several days and even sent a letter of condemnation to the southwest that Yan Miao might not receive.
After that, he wanted to move out of the Yan Mansion and find a place to live on his own. Yan Cheng did not stop him. Instead, he helped him find a nice two-story house in the capital and asked him to live in the Yan family first and move out after the house was renovated.
