Chapter XVIII

When Xie Shi raised his eyes to look at Gu Yanling again, his expression was as indifferent as ever, but there was a little warmth in his tone. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Your grandmother has written. ”

Gu Yanling was slightly stunned, raised her head, Zhilan, who was standing next to Xie's side, had stepped forward and handed the letter to her eyes, Gu Yanling reached out to take it, and just glanced at the ink on the envelope, and knew that it was written by Xie Yun, the cousin of the Xie family.

Suddenly, Gu Yanling realized that his hand was trembling slightly involuntarily, and his slender fingers carefully pulled out the letter paper inside, shook it gently, and a burst of ink fragrance came to his face.

Dong Qichang's praise of Shexian "Chichun Green Ink" mixed with the juice of the late summer tulip flowers, and fell on the dark blue "Xie Gongjian" paper with the same name as "Xue Tao Notes", and this kind of elegance was only Xie Yun, the eldest son of the Xie family of Chen County.

Thinking of this, the corners of Gu Yanling's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, looking at the familiar font on the paper, his eyes gradually blurred, and the literati in Jiangnan all said, "The son of the Xie family of Chenjun is quite the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties", who knows that if you look at Xie Yun's font, you can faintly see from the vulgarity that he will be calm and decisive in the future.

Xie Shi saw Gu Yanling with her head down, her hair falling slightly on her cheeks, and she didn't speak, she just thought that she was attracted by the words in the letter, and her eyes couldn't help but feel a little more proud, and then recalled unhurriedly: "This is written by your cousin Xie Yun, when you were five years old, I took you back to your grandmother's house, at that time you didn't like anyone, only liked to pester your cousin, now after so many years, you are afraid that you have forgotten." ”

Gu Yanling subconsciously wanted to shake her head, tightly squeezing the thin letter paper as thin as a cicada's wings in her hand, and forcibly held back the tears that wanted to fall. How could she forget, how could she forget!

Gu Yanling couldn't imagine what she would have lived if it weren't for Xie Yun in her previous life?

Empress Dowager Guo, Concubine Cheng, the ninth son of the emperor, and too many people later...... At that time, her true way was to be with tigers and wolves every day, and if she was not careful, she could be torn apart at any time, and there were no bones left.

But in the end, it was Xie Yun who accompanied her through the thorns along the way and helped her to the position of queen mother.

Xie Shi's eloquent voice sounded in his ears again: "At the beginning of spring next year, your cousin should also participate in the spring festival, with his talent, I think you will only have to wait for good news for your grandmother and us." ”

Gu Yanling closed his eyes slightly, and suppressed the wetness in front of him, Xie was right, now Xie Yun is only fourteen, but who is not known as Xie Yun, the son of Chen Jun, who moves the world?

In the previous life, there was no suspense, Xie Yun entered the Wenhua Hall as a first-class jinshi and the first birth, and then edited for the Hanlin Academy, and was promoted to the cabinet, until she was the queen mother, Xie Yun became the first assistant of the dynasty.

Such a peerless person, I don't know how many women in the world admire him, but he is unmarried, at that time, as the queen mother, she saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart.

Therefore, he personally selected many well-informed young women to send to the Shoufu Mansion, and he never refused, but he never responded.

No one knew why, not even her.

Because he never answered.

Until finally, he worked too hard and walked ahead of her.

Perhaps, if he hadn't died early because he was tired of state affairs, she wouldn't have come to that point. Because he will not allow it.

"Ah Jiu?"

Suddenly called Gu Yanling back from his memories, Gu Yanling was flustered for a while, hurriedly sorted out his thoughts, raised his head and met Xie Shi's suspicious eyes, his hands tightened, but he smiled and said: "My cousin's words are so good, so that Ah Jiu is fascinated by it." ”

Saying that, Gu Yanling continued: "Ah Jiu was still thinking just now, next year, when my cousin Jinshi and the first, the position of Jishi of the Hanlin Academy should be in the bag. ”

When Xie Shi heard this, he looked at Gu Yanling for a moment, and then his expression was pleased, and he said softly in his eyes: "Your cousin's words are not an exaggeration to say that a thousand gold is hard to find, and as for his talent, it is not comparable to that of idlers. ”

"Yes. ”

Seeing Gu Yanling bowing his head respectfully, Xie nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I'm also a little lazy, so you can reply to you for me, talk about daily things, and finally tell your cousin, your grandmother's sixtieth birthday, we will go to make your grandmother feel at ease." ”

After speaking, Xie Shi raised his eyes and added: "Just go back in your tone." ”

Gu Yanling was stunned for a moment, Xie never faked the matter of writing family letters, and asked her to write it this time, but it made her a little confused.

I don't know how words are like people, Xie Shi has looked at Gu Yanling a little more since the last time, she feels that she is becoming more and more confused about this daughter, so she feels that it is necessary for her to get to know her again.

Rao is like this, Gu Yanling still nodded.

The big girls on the side, Bai Lan and Mo Lan, hurriedly asked someone to move the long case, spread out the four treasures of the study, and put aside a filigree beast-shaped incense burner, which was filled with a faint Suhe incense.

Gu Yanling cleaned his hands with warm water mixed with flower juice, walked to the front of the case, glanced at the Chengxintang paper on it, thought about it for a while, and then said, "Change Xue Tao's note." ”

When Zhilan heard this, Xue Tao, who was busy changing the peach powder, took a flat paperweight, and the Liubi beside her was familiar with the road and grinded it for Gu Yanling.

Gu Yanling's left thumb and index finger gently pinched the sleeve of his right wrist, took a jade pen with his right hand, dipped it in ink, and groaned for a moment, then calmed down and put the ink on the paper.

Gu Yanling never thought that he would "meet" Xie Yun in this life in such a way. Therefore, the slight tremor of the tip of the pen faintly revealed the excitement and nervousness in her heart at the moment, but in front of Xie, she really didn't dare to take it lightly, so she forcibly suppressed the fluctuations in her heart until the final payment was written.

Gu Yanling breathed a sigh of relief, carefully removed the paperweight, gently picked up Xue Tao's note, dried the ink, and handed it to Xie's hand.

Xie Shi took it, raised his eyes and looked at it, he couldn't help but be shocked, the handwriting on the paper was different from the hairpin flower of the boudoir woman, it was a little more precipitation and stability, quite a bit of wrist strength, not like a teenage embroidery pavilion girl wrote, but like a ......

Xie Shi looked at Gu Yanling quietly, and said indifferently: "You copy the words of the Empress Dowager Xiaomu of the previous dynasty?"

"Yes. ”

Now Xie Shi was really stunned for a long time, the Empress Dowager Xiaomu of the previous dynasty assisted three generations of emperors in her life, and her name went down in history, and her words were even more awe-inspiring, round and powerful, and quite a woman did not let the style of shaved eyebrows, not only for the imitation of talented women in the boudoir, but also for many literati and politicians to follow suit.

But after all, it can be copied in shape, but it can't be copied from God.

However, the words on Xue Tao's note in front of him that have not yet dried have the charm of Empress Dowager Xu, but there is a slight tremor at the end of each word, which is in line with the girl's impetuous temperament.

This time, Xie Shi deeply realized that she had really never understood this eldest daughter.

Xie folded the letterhead, handed it to Mama Xu, and then raised his eyes to look at Gu Yanling and said, "Okay, you can also go back to Liuli Courtyard." ”

Gu Yanling didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that after a long time, he would reveal what Xie Shi would notice, so he hurriedly responded.

Only Xie sat quietly on the soft collapse, looking at the girl's beautiful back, but pondered for a long time.
