: Round 279 Distinguished Family

The Xi family is a family of celebrities and celebrities who have been officials for generations. The history can be traced back to the monarchs and clan monarchs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Not to mention, as recently as the Qing Dynasty, there was a governor of Guangdong, Guangxi, and two governors of Fujian and Zhejiang. The modern era is even better. There are three out of four provincial and ministerial deputies, more cadres at the department level, and even a deputy official at the national level. It can be said to be the home of Mingding food, the family of poetry and hairpin, with a long history and more than a strong family background. The officialdom network is even larger.
Although the generations are officials, the Xi family has never had a corrupt official. Because there is no need, the foundation left by the ancestors is enough to feed the Xi family for generations. What they lack most is money, and the power is one generation. People accumulated.
The current head of the Xi family is Xi Shiyi. When he was young, he served as a counselor to the embassy in Japan, the director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the assistant to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. At the age of 40, he served as the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. At the age of 50, he became the Minister of Foreign Affairs. s position.
Anyone with a little common sense knows what the Minister of Foreign Affairs is doing. In one sentence, it summarizes the important position next to the head of government. The statement made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs is the opinion of the country.
It can be seen how strong the Xi family is.
Yang Bo and Yang Zhongyi are now drivers of the Xi family. They used to be the leader of the Xi family, similar to the general manager, but now they are older and retired to do some easy and simple tasks. The Yang family has been the Xi family since their ancestors. The servant, described in the era of the Dream of Red Mansions, except that the surname is still his ancestor, it is no different from having a son, so he is absolutely loyal to the Xi family with his name.
After returning to the Xi's house, he pondered for a long time, and finally decided to tell Xi Shiyi about the things he saw today. After going upstairs, he went to the study and said everything.
"Are you sure she?"
In the huge study room, Xi Shiyi, who was in his old age, despite his white hair and gray eyes, still had a pair of eyes that were bright and bright, and he didn't see the old look, and he looked like a child.
Uncle Yang stood in front of the desk and reverently answered, "I'm absolutely right, Missy was born exactly like Missy."
The eldest lady in his mouth was referring to 皛 皛, and the young lady was Xi Shutong, that is, Xi Shiyi ’s daughter, and 皛 皛 's mother.
Xi Shutong was the only daughter of Xi Shiyi and had no other siblings. Later, she eloped with her father and broke off the relationship with the Xi family. Xi Shiyi inherited her brother's two sons to inherit the family business.
So I only call it Miss.
Miao was called Missy, but Yang Bo made her own claim. She was the earliest girl born in the Xi family's younger generation. If Xi Shutong did not leave the family, then Miao would follow her mother's surname, not her father's Because of the identity like Xi Shutong, it is inevitable to recruit, and this big lady is not wrong.
After the rebellion, the Xi family gave birth to two young ladies, one Xi Mingyue, one Xi Mingzhu, born of the two sons that Xi Shiyi adopted.
"Really like Shutong?"
"Awesome!"
When Xi Shutong left home, he took nothing away, gave up the dignity of the body, and resolutely left. Yang Bo was a loyal servant. It was really unbearable for the father and daughter to sever the relationship. Persuaded her to return to Xi's house, he had seen the 皛 皛 at that time, but Xi Shiyi had only seen the photos of 皛 皛 's birth. It was Xi Shutong who specifically asked Yang Bo to take him back and showed him. She has a very good life and is very happy. She has no choice but to give birth to a lovely daughter.
Xi Shiyi stopped talking after listening to it, only a little dark ripples appeared in her eyes.
"Master, do you want ..."
Before Yang Bo's words were finished, Xi Shiyi yelled, "What do you want? Want me to beg her to come back? Dream!"
"It's been a long time since the master thing ..."
"I'm not dead yet!" It means that as long as he isn't dead, things that year would never pass.
"Miss is gone!" Yang Bo wiped his eyes. "Miss is the only blood of the lady, and also your granddaughter!"
"It was she who killed Shutong!" Shutong was his only daughter. From an early age, she was like a pearl on her palm. She loved and took care of her. She was afraid of falling in her hand and afraid of falling in her mouth. It was his heart, she But he was deceived by a warrior, and my father didn't want it. What happened? Take your own life.
"That's not Missy's fault! It was totally an accident, a murderer's deliberate revenge!"
"So what, if it weren't her useless dad, Shutong would die? It wasn't good to raise her daughter into Miss Qianjin, let her go to that dangerous occupation, it was simply stupid and dull!"
Uncle Yang saw that his face was greener and bluer, and he dared not talk any more.
"I'm asking you to get Shutong's ashes back. She is my Xi family's daughter. Of course she is buried in the Xi family ancestral hall. But she said that her parents love her. What a hole, that man is not worthy of Shu Tong. "
"Miss is also filial!"
After Xi Shutong's death, Yan Xu informed Yang Bo that when he heard that the only daughter was killed, Xi Shiyi suffered a tragic stroke and immediately fell to the ground. Although he was cured, he still had sequelae, and he walked a little. Must use a cane.
He ordered Yang Bo to go back to the United States to take back Xi Shutong's ashes. It was reasonable, but it was forbidden that his father and Xi Shutong were buried together. He even said a lot of bad words about his father, which made him unbearable and direct. Drive Yang Bo out of the house.
The grudges between grandchildren and grandchildren are thus settled.
At that time, the symptom of PTSD was not obvious. All his thoughts were on the murderer who killed his parents. Xi Shiyi was so excited that his temper was not much better, and the words were a bit heavy.
Moreover, she has never seen this grandfather, and every time Yang Bo acts as an intermediary, she is even more unwilling to see this grandfather.
"If she wants to come back, she is begging to come back, but do you think she ever thought about coming back? She simply didn't think she was the daughter of the Xi family. I don't have this granddaughter. You can't intervene in this matter!"
There were a lot of angry words, but he was talking about granddaughter, not granddaughter. Yang Bo knew that he was very concerned about it. Otherwise, how could he allow himself to call him Miu, and the people outside could only Know that Xi Mingyue is the eldest lady of the Xi family.
Although he understands, he also knows how stubborn the old master's temper is, and saying more will only be counterproductive.
"Yes!"
Uncle Yang walked out of the study room helplessly, and when he came out, he met the second wife of the Xi family, the wife of Xi Zhongyuan.
Xi Zhongyuan is Xi Shiyi's second son.
He shouted respectfully, "Second Lady!"
Lu Meiling, in her fifties, is the banker's daughter. She has outstanding temperament and beautiful appearance. Even if she has entered her old age, she is still very fancy. She is dressed in a purple satin embroidered golden silk peony dress, which makes her very attractive. Graceful.
She nodded.
Yang Bogang was about to go, but she suddenly turned around and stopped him.
"Bo Yang, I heard that you saw your sister's daughter?"
The eldest sister refers to Xi Shutong.
Even if the relationship between father and daughter is severed, everyone in the Xi family knows what the former Xi family Qianjin was in the mind of Xi Shiyi. Even after decades of passing, people still go to clean the room when Xi Shutong was not married. It's just that no one dared to name the premise of Xi Shiyi.
"Yes, second lady!"
"Yang Bo, you are getting older. You should not worry about some things."
The words inside and outside are all out-of-string sounds. How could Yang Bo not understand.
She is telling Yang Bo who is the future family member of the Xi family, and only her son, Xi Mingcheng.
Uncle Yang has been with Xi Shiyi for decades. He has n’t seen anything in the world. When Xi Shiyi served as vice minister of foreign affairs in his early years, he followed the visit abroad. The Prime Minister and Prime Minister have not seen one hundred, and there are fifty. None of the ladies is worth mentioning, but in the end she is the wife of the Xi family, and the Ming media is marrying, even if he is uncomfortable in his heart, he can't help but give his face.
"Yes, ma'am, I understand."
"Do n’t blame me for being talkative, I know you are the old man next to your father, but people always have to retire. Your daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson for you last month, and it ’s time for Han Yi to play grandson."
Uncle Yang respectfully said, "The old man still has a place where I can be used. The old man didn't want me, so I would not dare to retreat."
Lu Meiling's outlined eyes immediately darkened, "You can talk."
"Just do my duty!"
"Okay, then just do your duty, and then you will understand if I am wrong today."
"If the second lady is fine, I will go down first."
"Go!"
Lu Meiling looked at the back of Yang Bo's departure and cursed: "Old and immortal things!"
The vicious expression on his face suddenly distorted the good makeup, like an old witch.
In a few moments, she opened a soft and perfect smile and brought Tang Cup into the study.
"How did you come in?" Xi Shiyi quickly hid a photo in the drawer, picked up the cane and stood up.
"Dad, it's time for you to take the medicine. If you want me not to remind you, you have forgotten again."
"What medicine to drink? Drink and drink, it's not the same as before." He patted his legs. "Old, not good enough."
"Dad, you are definitely an old and strong person who can live to 100."
"The home is yours and Pearl's mouth is the sweetest!"
"Pearl is your granddaughter, and she will only be sweet to you. If anyone else wants her to say sweet words, she will have to wait until her next life."
Mingzhu and Mingcheng are both Lu Meiling's children. Mingcheng was born early and is the grandson, and Mingzhu is the youngest child in the family.
"Pearl, why haven't you seen her today?" Xi Shiyi finished her Chinese medicine and wiped her mouth. "Going out again?"
"Young people love to communicate. You can rest assured that I told her to remember that she is the daughter of the Xi family all the time. She will not embarrass you."
She blew the Chinese medicine in the Tang cup and handed it to Xi Shiyi.
Xi Shiyi drank a bitter pill without changing her face and said, "It's always good to be alert. By the way, the appointment of Minister Zhang's son is for dinner. The blind date is a big deal. She is 27 years old, and she will become an old girl if you drag it on. "
"I look at her, you can rest assured."
It is not too late for a 27-year-old to marry in today's society, but it is quite late in the eyes of prestigious people. It will be so long. It is not that Xi Mingzhu is not good enough. There is no favorite, and the days will be lame.
Lu Meiling is not in a hurry about her daughter's marriage, but to marry the best.
"When will Mingcheng come back?"
"I'll be back tomorrow, and I also called me in the morning, saying that the mission is over!" Speaking of this book, Lu Meiling sighed, "I'm so busy all day, I can't see it once a week."
"Young people are busy, how can they become officials if they are not busy?"
"Yes, you are right!"
Lu Meiling smiled and handed him the water mixed with honey, "Dad, come, the medicine tastes bitter, drink some honey water to taste."
"Is Suzhen's illness better?"
Lin Suzhen is the wife of Xi Shiyi's eldest son, that is, the wife of Xi Zhongyu, the eldest wife of the Xi family.
"Sister-in-law is still the same, chest tightness today, stomach pain tomorrow, don't worry, there are people at home to take care of."
"It's hard work for you!"
The official ’s wife does n’t have to hide in the kitchen every day to wash her hands and make soup, but the family has a great career and has done more work inside and outside. No one is in charge. Since ancient times, they have been marrying wives and virtue. If you want to be healthy, you have to do a lot of housework.
Lu Meiling is in good health, unlike Lin Suzhen, who has a headache and hot heads in three days, but it is not cold or hot. When he marries in, he looks very healthy, and after he has a baby, he plummets.
Like Lu Meiling, she also had a son and a daughter. Her son was Xi Mingxu and her daughter was Xi Mingyue.
Xi Mingxu was born only three days later than Xi Mingcheng, but Xi Mingyue was two years older than Xi Mingzhu, 29 years old. Compared with the two children born to Lu Meiling, the son is Xi Mingcheng, who is very good and young When he became an assistant to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Xi Mingxu was a muddled person who was waiting to die, even civil servants could not pass the exam.
In terms of daughters, Xi Mingyue, as an official family, is devoted to the entertainment industry and has become a post-film character.
Xi Mingzhu relied on being the youngest child in the family and was spoiled by Lu Meiling.
However, Xi Shiyi likes Xi Mingzhu. For him, the Xi family is a person with a face and a face. What is not easy to do, you have to do a play, so you do n’t like Xi Mingyue. When you meet, you nod and say a few words If it ’s not too salty, it ’s over.
Another reason for his preference for Xi Mingzhu is that Xi Mingzhu is somewhat like Xi Shutong, not having a seven-point image, that is, there are three points. It will only get deeper and deeper, and Xi Mingzhu always pretends to be very clever in front of him, and he likes it more.
"It's my business, it's all Xi family members, but it's just taking the hand."
"Well, you are the most reasonable, and I can rest assured that I will give it to you."
"Do n’t say that, dad, on August 12, your 82-year-old birthday, I know you do n’t like extravagance and waste, but also have to do it well. I thought about it or go to your favorite Lu Xuan Tang for a meal. it is good?"
Xi Shiyi nodded, "You arrange it, but there is one thing, the family, other people are not allowed to ask."
"Yes, but this gift ..."
Although Xi Shiyi has retired, his connections are still there. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Communications all have descendants he has brought. This gift was delivered one by one since last month.
"Check it out, don't let people take advantage of it."
"I got it!"
The rituals can be received, but it is necessary to see if there are any crevices inside to avoid some violations of the law and discipline. The Xi family is clear for generations, and the most taboo is corruption.

In the middle of the night, Xi Mingzhu returned home with a sulky look. As soon as he entered his room, he saw Lu Meiling sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
"Mom, why are you still awake!" She sat on the bed and kicked the high heels off her feet.
"Waiting for you!" Lu Meiling smelled the alcohol on her as she approached. "Why did you drink so much?"
"Just drink a little!" She wasn't drunk, but she blushed a little.
"I tell you, no matter how you play outside, you are not allowed to make trouble, especially with men."
"Mom, are you nagging all this trouble?" She took off her tube top dress and drilled into the quilt.
"Every time I talk to you, you are annoying me. I am not annoying for you." This little girl broke her heart and would only play, never doing a serious business.
"You said, I'm Miss Qian Jin of the Xi family. Identities represent everything. I don't have to be like an ordinary person. Just marry a son of a golden turtle, what else do you have to do, don't you play at home all day?
"Okay, I can say ten things in one sentence!" She walked over and poked Xi Mingzhu's forehead. "You look at you, your makeup is so gorgeous, and you are so exposed, so that your grandfather sees it."
"You don't say, how could Grandpa know!"
"A lot of eyes, do you think your grandpa is a fool?"
Xi Mingzhu turned impatiently and turned her back to her, saying: "Grandpa is so old, and can live for a few years, you can only worry about it, can't you take care of your brother, do you think he is better than How much I am better, but it looks good on the surface, but how many women have you sent privately, and how many are still big belly women! "
"Shut up for me!" Lu Meiling shouted. "You know what a fart! Can a woman compare with a man? That's called Merry. If you are like this, it's lustful!"
Xi Mingzhu sat up annoyed in bed and shouted: "So what do you want me to do to serve Grandpa all day? I'm bored!"
Lu Meiling quickly covered her mouth, "You give me a quiet voice!"
"You let go!" Xi Mingzhu waved her hand. "If it weren't for you, it would make Mingyue better than me!"
"What's her beauty, do you know that your grandpa will be angry every time she mentions her, she is a play!"
"What's wrong with the drama, everyone is holding it before and after, and I, Cheng Tian was said to be Xi Daying's sister, hate to die!" Today went to the party, and some people asked her to sign the dead girl.
"You said your pig brain, why didn't it inherit me at all!"
"Oh, like you, in order to allow your brother to be the grandson of the Xi family and deliberately fall prematurely, you are not afraid of your brother's life."
At that time, it was Lin Suzhen who was pregnant first and nearly three months earlier, but Lu Meiling gave birth to her son three days earlier than her.
"What do you know, if not, can your brother be where he is now?"
Xi Mingzhu disdainfully said, "It's a great assistant to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, not even the Deputy Minister."
"Your grandfather also worked as an assistant." Mentioning Lu Meiling's face was full of pride. "Your grandfather was only 35 years old when he became an assistant to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Mingcheng was only 30 years old this year, better than him. It's five years early. "
"Cut, that's not all looking at Grandpa's face. Don't forget, it's your plan. When Mingxu went to the civil service exam, he was hit by a car. This hit even stupid my mind!"
"You will only remember this, you haven't thought about your own things, you listen to me, when you go to see Zhang Hanjie the day after tomorrow, don't like the previous few times, think that if the parents are not good-looking, they will leave, I am not Take your skin off, but that is the son of the Minister of Finance. It does n’t matter if you offend your son, you offend Lao Tzu. You must be careful not to marry in this life. "
"It's me who marries someone, not you! Don't like it or don't like it! It's useless for anyone to force me!"
Lu Meiling sneered, "I know what you are thinking, and forgot it as soon as possible, the one named Kangxi is also a drama!"
"You control me!" Xi Mingzhu glared. "Others are now big internationals!"
"What's the use, right? Right is the most practical. Besides, people are already married."
"That's a smoke bomb!" Xi Mingzhu deflated his mouth. "Even if it's true, divorce is not enough. What is my identity as Xi Mingzhu! It's better than a woman who is nothing!"
Lu Meiling almost fainted when she heard this, "I think you are crazy!"
"Okay, you don't have to be wordy, I'm going to sleep! I also asked someone to play tomorrow morning!" She got out of bed and pushed Lu Meiling out of the door. "You also go to bed early, be careful of wrinkles!"
The door was closed with a slam, she was still locked inside, and it was useless for Ren Lumeiling to turn her handle. She was so angry that she looked like an old witch.
However, wrinkles on her face were also a big deal, and she quickly returned to her room to apply a mask.
－－－－－－ Digression －－－－－－－
Popular science, the ranks of Chinese officials are divided into departments, departments, departments, and departments. The real senior officials should be officials above the level of the main department. The department level is higher than the department level. Then go up ... you know, of course, there are divisions, departments, and departments. Above the rank of deputy army, I will not play at this rank, it is to scare people.
Give everyone time to understand the character relationships and names ... Hahaha
