Chapter 130 Ah Shu, call me Brother Lan again
Xie's house, second floor.
Qin Shu stood in front of the window, watching Ah Hua's wife handing out wedding candies and cakes.
"Aren't you tired? Do you want to take a break?"
A pair of strong arms embraced Qin Shu's slender waist and brought her into his arms.
Qin Shu leaned on the man's chest with a relaxed look, a trace of worry in her eyes.
"Is it bad for Dad to be so high-profile?"
Xie Lanzhi's perfectly shaped jaw gently rubbed Qin Shu's hair and asked casually, "What's wrong with it?"
He didn't feel high-profile at all.
This was already a very low-key way.
If it were him, he could do something that would shock the entire Beijing city and let everyone know that he, Xie Lanzhi, had a child and would soon be a father.
Qin Shu didn't know Xie Lanzhi's terrible thoughts, and expressed her worries.
"With your father's status, won't others report you for acting so high-profile?"
The Xie family is not an ordinary wealthy family, and they are involved in the military and politics.
For such a family, it is easy to get into trouble if they make a mistake.
Qin Shu heard a man's happy low laughter.
Xie Lanzhi lifted the broken hair around Qin Shu's ears, leaned close to her ear and said, "Ah Shu, you may not know much about our family. The Xie family is really high-profile. The people who come to congratulate can line up from the gate where the guards are stationed to our door."
"..." Qin Shu's expression was horrified and shocked.
She lowered her voice and asked tentatively, "Who are the people who came?"
Xie Lanzhi said calmly, "The people you often see on TV, members of the Xie family faction, and wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong. Most of the well-known people in the country are here."
At the end, he was not sure.
This was the scene that Xie Lanzhi had experienced a few years ago when his father had not been promoted.
His father now has more power than in the past few years, and he must be more prosperous than before.
Qin Shu was stunned and took a breath of cold air.
She joked to herself, "Have I become a phoenix?"
"Grandpa didn't tell me that marrying into the Xie family would be so glorious."
Xie Lanzhi kissed her cheek: "You are a phoenix, the golden phoenix of the Xie family."
Qin Shu curled her lips and snorted: "You only know how to coax me."
Xie Lanzhi smiled without saying anything, and suddenly sighed: "How many families in Beijing seem to be glorious, but in fact they are hidden and dangerous. Deadly dangers are buried in the dark."
He seemed to want to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he only mentioned it.
Qin Shu understood the implication of Xie Lanzhi.
The potential high risk of officialdom.
One carelessness is enough to destroy such a large family.
Qin Shu had seen too many such examples in her previous life and knew the interests involved.
Both of them stopped talking in tacit understanding, bathing in the sun, the atmosphere was warm and cozy.
*
Compound, night.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang——!"
It was time for every household to have dinner, and there was a deafening sound outside.
Dense fireworks bloomed from the sky above the Xie family's house. The scene was very spectacular, and the whole compound was illuminated by the gorgeous fireworks.
Many people gathered at the gate of the Xie family.
These people included Xie Lanzhi's childhood friends and his men, all of whom came to help.
Xie Lanzhi waved to Amuti who was not far away and shouted in a loud voice.
"Take people to set off fireworks outside, move a few boxes of wedding candies and cakes, and distribute them to passers-by."
"Got it!"
Amuti, with a bright smile on his face, shouted loudly.
He turned around and led seven or eight people, each holding several boxes, and left in a mighty manner.
Across the street, Chu Lianying was playing with others to set off fireworks, lighting this one and then rushing to light that one.
A group of people were so busy that they couldn't stand, and the fireworks in the sky never stopped.
Chu Lianying suddenly ran over and shouted, "Brother Lan, there are so many fireworks, you can't set them off in one night!"
Xie Lanzhi looked up at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky, and a gentle arc appeared at the corner of his lips.
This grand fireworks display was a gift from his father to him and Ashu for the glory of having twins.
Even if it lasts until dawn, they must be set off.
Xie Lanzhi waved to Chu Lianying and walked to the yard.
The two found a quiet place to talk.
Xie Lanzhi's cold and handsome face was gloomy and unclear: "I think that person will come tonight."
"Who?"
Chu Lianying patted the gunpowder slag and paper scraps on his body and asked in confusion.
Xie Lanzhi said in a faint voice: "The one from the Yu Mansion."
"!!!" Chu Lianying was shocked.
He raised his head suddenly, his facial expression solemn.
"Are you sure? Where did you get the news?"
Xie Lanzhi frowned and pondered: "I'm not sure. I learned that a member of the guard of honor was recalled to the Yu Mansion during the day."
The guard of honor.
It is indispensable for that person to travel.
As the Spring Festival is approaching, the guard of honor has already had a holiday. There must be something wrong with recalling them at this time.
Chu Lianying's expression became more serious, and he asked in a low voice: "Should we make some preparations?"
The Xie family is just one of the famous official families in Beijing, and there are several other noble families above them.
If that person comes to the Xie family with great fanfare, it is unknown whether he is trying to attract hatred for the Xie family or whether he really values the Xie family.
The thoughts of those in power are unfathomable, which makes people nervous.
Xie Lanzhi looked in the direction of the guard, his dark eyes as quiet as the abyss.
;He pondered for a moment, then gave an order with his thin lips: "You arrange for people to strengthen the security around."
Chu Lianying understood what he meant, and his face was full of disapproval.
"Are we really not going to do anything?"
Xie Lanzhi said in a low and deep voice, not allowing any objection: "Just pretend you don't know about this matter, and you should have an idea in your mind. Arrange it as soon as possible, and don't forget to be alert in the nearby streets."
The authority of the superior cannot be challenged, and he cannot let the Xie family fall into dire straits.
"Okay, I'll arrange it now!"
Chu Lianying was very convinced of Xie Lanzhi, knowing that once he made a decision, it would not be easily changed.
*
The living room of the Xie family was crowded with people, all of whom were a group of dignified elders.
Father Xie, with a rosy complexion, changed into a military uniform. When he was complimented and congratulated, he would look up and laugh from time to time, and he didn't look seriously ill at all.
Mother Xie held Qin Shu's hand and walked among a group of friendly women who looked very cultured.
"Jingyi, your family is so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Xie's name was Guo Jingyi. She said proudly, "My daughter Shu is beautiful, and I must admit that."
She patted Qin Shu's hand and introduced her, "Shu, this is your Aunt Zhou, her husband is a diplomat."
Qin Shu, who had been praised all the time, blushed and called out obediently, "Hello, Aunt Zhou."
Aunt Zhou stuffed a thick red envelope into Qin Shu's hand.
"Good boy, this is a gift from your auntie. I hope you can have many children for the Xie family."
Qin Shu took the red envelope readily, but was pulled away by Mrs. Xie the next second.
"Ah Shu, let me introduce you. This is the wife of the internal affairs officer..."
Qin Shu soon received another thick red envelope.
Then, she was pulled away by Mrs. Xie again.
That night, she called a group of wives of officials aunts and aunts, and received so many red envelopes that her hands were tired.
The smile on her face almost froze, and her body began to fail, and her legs and feet became weak.
It was not until Xie Lanzhi came in that Qin Shu was rescued.
Xie Lanzhi looked at Qin Shu's forehead, which was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and a trace of pity appeared in his eyes.
"Mom, Ah Shu is tired. I'll take her upstairs to rest for a while."
Mrs. Xie turned back to look at Qin Shu and saw that her cheeks were flushed and her nose was covered with sweat.
She said in annoyance, "Look at me, I forgot that Ah Shu was not feeling well."
Mrs. Xie handed Qin Shu's hand to her son and repeatedly reminded him, "You are not allowed to go downstairs from now on. I will send all the red envelopes that Mom received to you in the evening. Ask Ah Hua to cook whatever you want to eat. In a few days, I will call another servant from Hong Kong to take turns to take care of Ah Shu so that she can eat hot meals anytime and anywhere."
Mrs. Xie was really happy. Her tone of voice was brisk, and her excitement and joy were beyond words.
"I know. Go ahead and get busy."
Mrs. Xie took Qin Shu's hand and walked upstairs through the crowd.
The two were teased along the way.
"Mr. Xie, you married a wife who was born with a fertile body. How many children are you going to have in the future?"
Xie Lanzhi smiled and said in a noble and clear voice: "It depends on Ah Shu's opinion."
His words and deeds were full of the noble and reserved demeanor of a child from an aristocratic family, and he was full of vigor and vitality.
Someone curled his lips and joked: "Are you afraid of your father? You can't even decide how many children to have."
Xie Lanzhi hugged Qin Shu's soft waist and smiled warmly: "My Ah Shu is petite and weak, and younger than me, so she deserves to be spoiled."
Qin Shu leaned on Xie Lanzhi and coughed a few times.
"Brother Lan, I don't feel well. I want to drink some water."
The voice was coquettish and charming, with a little sweetness and coquettishness.
Xie Lanzhi's pupils shrank sharply, his Adam's apple slid a few times, and a few ripples appeared in his eyes.
Brother Lan?
Just a title, and his heart almost stopped beating.
Qin Shu's coquettish and seductive voice instantly attracted the attention of many people.
When they saw her face clearly, everyone's eyes could not move away instantly.
Is this Xie Lanzhi's daughter-in-law?
What a beautiful woman with skin as white as cream and coquettishness!
From an angle where no one was around, Qin Shu blinked her seductive eyes at Xie Lanzhi.
Xie Lanzhi understood immediately and nodded to the people, saying, "Ah Shu is not feeling well, I will take her upstairs first."
He picked up Qin Shu by the waist and carried her horizontally, and in front of everyone and amidst the exclamations, he walked up the stairs.
Someone exclaimed, "Damn! Who told me that Master Xie is calm and self-controlled and doesn't like women?"
In the circle of aristocratic families, everyone knows that the prince of the Xie family is pure-hearted and has no desires, and doesn't like women.
Now, how can he not like women? It is obvious that he dotes on his wife to the point of no limit, and his heart and eyes are full of his wife.
Just ask, which young master dares to carry his wife upstairs in such an intimate manner in front of a room full of elders.
The person next to him asked, "Didn't you see what Master Xie's wife looks like?"
The man pouted and said, "Why should I look at other people's wives!"
As soon as these words came out, many people looked at her with regret and pity.
Master Xie's wife had a lively and gorgeous appearance, a plump and soft and charming figure, and was as beautiful as a fairy descending to the earth.
If Master Xie was not moved, he would have to become a monk.
If they had married such a wife,
they would be happy to hold her in their hands every day, not to mention hugging her.
Upstairs, in the bedroom.
Qin Shu had just been put on the bed and couldn't help complaining, "I gave you an excuse to go upstairs, but I didn't let you hug me in public!"
How embarrassing!
I don't know how those people will frame her.
Xie Lanzhi's dark eyes, filled with lust, stared at Qin Shu, whose cheeks were flushed.
He said in a hoarse voice: "Ah Shu, call me Brother Lan again."
Just now downstairs, it was the first time that Qin Shu called him Brother Lan.
His heart was numb and his heart was trembling. He wished he could hear her call him every day.
