Chapter 27: Reunion of Teachers and Friends (1)
When Xie Xuan arrived at his uncle Xie An's place, he saw that the prince of the Wang family was a guest in the house, Xie Xuan stood in the courtyard and waited, looking at the goose feather snow sprinkled in the sky, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, it was also such a heavy snow day, the uncle summoned all the sons and nephews to discuss righteousness, and it snowed while talking, and the uncle said step by step: "What does the snow outside this house look like?" ā
The elder brother Xie Lang replied: "It is like someone throwing salt from the sky!" The elder sister stared at the snow outside the house in a daze, and said lightly: "It's better to say that the wind is blowing up the catkins and flying all over the sky."

Although he was young at that time, Xie Xuan still remembered how his uncle praised his sister's talent, but why did he want his sister to marry someone as mediocre as Wang Ningzhi now? Xie Xuan was puzzled.
Xie Xuan stood outside the house, watching Wang Huizhi, Wang Caozhi and Wang Xianzhi say goodbye to Xie An together, the three saw Xie Xuan standing outside the house in a daze, Wang Huizhi approached Xie Xuan, smiled and teased him: "What fascinates you so much?" ā
Xie Xuan looked down at his toes and said, "It's okay." ā
Wang Huizhi laughed and said, "Come in, don't freeze outside." Xie Xuan nodded, he really couldn't bear to tell Wang Huizhi's uncle that he didn't point out his sister to him, "Hmm." After a sigh, he didn't say anything about sending off the princes of the Wang family, but turned around and went into the house.
Wang Caozhi looked at Xie Xuan's appearance and asked Hui Zhidao: "Little Xie Xuan, what's wrong, the appearance of losing his soul?" ā
Hui Zhi replied: "It looks like there is something on the mind." Let's go. So saying, the three of them went home together.
Xie Xuan stood at Xie Xuan's door, and heard that there were still guests in his uncle's house, only to hear the guest ask: "Brother Xie, which of the sons of the Wang family is superior or inferior?" ā
Xie Xuan heard his uncle laughing in the house: "In my opinion, the little one is excellent." ā
The guest who Xie Xuan couldn't distinguish when he heard the voice asked, "Why do you say this?" ā
Xie An said with a smile: "The outstanding man rarely speaks, because he doesn't say much, so he knows that he is extraordinary." The two laughed, and the house slave entered and said, "The master of the house, the young son is here." Xie An was stunned for a moment and said, "Let him in." ā
Xie Xuan stepped into the room and saw a man as long as jade, dressed simply, but with outstanding style, sitting next to his uncle. Thinking that he had never seen this person before, he walked into the house full of suspicion.
Seeing Xie Xuan enter, Xie An turned his head and said to the people on the side: "This son Xie Xuan, he was still in infancy when his brother came to the mansion last time, and he has never seen his brother. The man laughed too. Xie An raised his head and said to Xie Xuan, "Xie Xuan, don't come over and see Mr. Baili soon." ā
Xie Xuan stepped forward and bowed to the two elders seat: "Good sir, good uncle." After speaking, Xie An let him sit down. Xie Xuan sat in his seat and said with suspicion: Which Mr. Baili can make his uncle so respectful and so familiar with his uncle?
Thinking about it, he sat on the seat and exclaimed: "Mr. is famous, but he is a hundred miles away!" ā
Xie An and Baili Qinghu were drinking tea, and suddenly heard this, Xie An turned his head and looked at Xie Xuan with some reproach, Baili Qinghu put down the teacup with a smile and said, "Back to Xiaoyou, it's down." Xie Xuan jumped down from his seat in surprise, walked to Baili Qinghu and bowed again, and said, "Although the student is young, he has already heard of Mr. Chen's name, and now he has to see the real person, and he really deserves his reputation!" ā
Baili Qinghu looked at the child who claimed to be a student in front of him, stroked his beard and waited for the following. I only heard Xie Xuan say: "The student has heard Mr.'s name since he was a child, and he is worried that when he grows up, he must go to Ludi to find Mr. traces and worship Mr. as a teacher. ā
Baili Qinghu looked at the respectful Xie Xuan in front of him, sat up straight, and asked, "You worship me as a teacher, what do you want to learn?" ā
Xie Xuan stood up straight and said bluntly: "The student wants to learn the art of war from Mr. Bulie!" ā
Baili Qinghu looked at him and said, "You really should learn this." ā
Xie An saw that Baili Qinghu was willing to accept Xie Xuan as an apprentice, and Xie Xuan had not yet understood Baili Qinghu's meaning, so he said to Xie Xuan: "Mr. Baili has just arrived at the house, and he must be tired at this time. You let your husband go to rest, and you want to apprentice, and we will discuss it tomorrow. ā
Xie Xuan replied: "Yes." After saying that, he retreated.
Walking in the corridor and remembering his original intention of coming to his uncle's place, listening to his uncle and Mr. Baili talking in the house, Xie Xuan walked out, thinking about coming back later to ask his uncle why he married his sister to Wang Ningzhi, and how to apprentice to Mr. Baili before he was willing to accept himself as an apprentice, and walked all the way out of the house.
After taking the carriage to the music and dance workshop, Xie Xuan got out of the car and asked, "The sons of the Wang family can be among them." ā
The owner of the music and dance workshop said while welcoming Xie Xuan inside: "Yes, yes!" ā
When the princes of the Wang family saw Xie Xuanlai, they smiled and pulled him into a seat. Xie Xuan listened to the singer singing the song composed before the fish song, raised his hand and said to the owner of the music and dance workshop with some impatience: "Quickly let people withdraw these tunes, and listen to them all back, it's boring!" ā
The owner of the music and dance workshop knew that the princes of the Wang family had always followed the wishes of this young son of the Xie family in everything, so he raised his hand to let the dancing girls withdraw, and followed Xie Xuan and asked resignedly: "Then what tune does Gongzi Xie want to listen to?" ā
Xie Xuan saw that Wang Ningzhi was also seated, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, waving his sleeves and saying to the owner of the music and dance workshop: "Get out!" Where it is clean, where to stay. ā
The princes of the Wang family saw that Xie Xuan's mood was a little abnormal, and they all looked at him. Wang Huizhi, who was still playing the piano just now, also stopped and looked at Xie Xuan. Xie Xuan saw everyone looking at him, frowned, and said, "Why are they all looking at me?" What should I do, why do I go, bothered! Looking around, he didn't see Wang Suzhi's figure, so he asked, "Why didn't Brother Yougong come?" ā
Everyone didn't answer, Xie Xuan snorted coldly disdainfully, and he didn't care. The atmosphere cooled down for a while, and Qin Zheng played a song "Mountains and Flowing Water" on the Getai Dance Pavilion, and the atmosphere eased a little. Wang Caozhi saw Xie Xuan leaning aside, eating snacks and listening to music, so he came up with a wine glass and invited him to drink. Seeing the pretence, Xie Xuan was about to sit up, when he suddenly saw Wang Ningzhi rushing to Xie Xuan with a wine glass.
Xie Xuan looked at Wang Ningzhi coldly and said, "You can't come when you should come, but you can't come when you shouldn't come." After speaking, he ignored Wang Ningzhi, raised his wine glass to Wang Caozhi, and drank it all. Everyone was embarrassed, Wang Ningzhi also raised his glass to Cao Zhi, the two drank each other, Wang Ningzhi retreated, not quite understanding why Xie Xuan was so targeted at himself today.
Wang Huizhi sat aside and said softly, "Xie Xuan, Brother Ning is older than you after all......"
Xie Xuan ignored Wang Huizhi's words, looked coldly at the woman playing the kite on the stage, and said while drinking wine: "Who is the woman on the stage?" ā
Wang Huizhi looked up and said, "I don't seem to have seen this woman before." ā
Wang Caozhi on the side said: "Don't say that my brother can't recognize it, this is a cover and a beaded curtain, even if it is a regular visitor, it may not be recognized." ā
Xie Xuan looked at the woman on the stage and asked Wang Huizhi: "Brother Ziyou, on Qin Zheng, how does the woman on the stage compare with Dai Andao?" ā
Hui Zhishan drumming and piano, Diandao knows the rhythm of music, and the two have been introduced as bosom friends for many years. Xie Xuan asked like this now, and he had to say that it was rude. Hui Zhi listened carefully to Qin Zheng's voice on the stage, and said for a long time: "Compared to Brother An Dao, this woman is still a little worse. ā
Xie Xuan drank the wine in the cup and said, "I think it's not bad." "Jump off the platform. Everyone was puzzled, and when they looked up, they suddenly saw Xie Xuan walking around to the back, walking towards the woman who was drumming the kite step by step. The woman was concentrating on the kite with her head down, but she didn't know that someone was slowly approaching behind her.
Xie Xuan saw that the woman was dressed extraordinarily, but she appeared in this place of smoke and willows with her face covered, and some doubts couldn't help but rise in her heart, and she quietly stepped forward and grabbed the woman's hand to drum the kite, the woman was shocked, broke the string, and almost fell to the ground. Xie Xuan took the opportunity to help her up and unveil her mask.
Looking at her frightened eyes, Xie Xuan's heartstrings trembled for no reason. Throwing her away, Xie Xuan pointed to the woman who fell to the ground and scolded: "Who are you?" What is the purpose of coming here? ā
The woman was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Xie Xuan in a daze. Hearing this, the princes of the Wang family stepped down from the high platform and stepped forward to look at the woman. Wang Caozhi saw that the woman on the ground did not look like a villain, so he helped the woman up. When everyone saw that this woman was not like a woman from the land of smoke and willows, dressed in gorgeous clothes and covering her face with a light veil, they were also puzzled for a while.
At this time, the owner of the music and dance workshop hurriedly walked around from the back and apologized to the people present: "Zhu Gongzi is angry, this girl has come from afar, and begged me for several days to let me agree to her to play the zither for the princes, I look at this girl pitiful, and I don't see that she is not a bad person, so I let her enter the inner room to relieve the boredom of the princes." ā
"I'm not bored!" Before the owner of the music and dance workshop could speak, the woman grabbed the white road.
Xie Xuan stared at the owner of the music and dance workshop viciously, and said, "Will the bad guy engrave the bad words on his face, and put it in without knowing who it is!" ā
"Enough!" Wang Huizhi, who has never been easily angry, said to Xie Xuan, "What kind of ability is it to be angry with a woman?" ā
Xie Xuan was about to speak, but Wang Caozhi pulled Xie Xuan's sleeve behind his back, Xie Xuan ignored it and said, "There is no distinction between right and wrong, truth and falsehood, no wonder uncle doesn't look down on you!" After saying that, he ignored everyone, waved his sleeves and walked down, and Wang Caozhi hurriedly chased after him.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why Xie Xuan was like this today. After knowing that this girl was not from the song and dance workshop, he also led her down.
New tea was added to the table, everyone sat down, and Wang Caozhi also chased Xie Xuan back. Xie Xuan's face was sad and angry, he sat aside and didn't speak, he just kept pouring wine in the cup, a cup was better than a cup.
Wang Huizhi asked: "Under Wang Huizhi, dare to ask the girl's name?" ā
The woman's eyes widened when she heard this, she looked at Wang Huizhi and said, "You are Wang Huizhi!" ā
Wang Hui was stunned and replied, "It's exactly below." ā
The woman suddenly became a little shy and said, "Little Girl Yang's family, Taishan people, Mr. Mu's name is here." ā
Wang Caozhi said on the side: "Mount Tai? It's not close to here, and the girl is alone? ā
The woman said: "I came with the house slaves, and when I arrived in Shanyin City, I inquired all the way how I could get acquainted with the princes, and I heard that the sons of Wang Xie and the two families often come here, so I made this decision in desperation. ā
Wang Ningzhi said on the side: "The girl is so well-intentioned, why did she come all the way from Mount Tai to Shanyin City?" ā
When the woman heard this, she replied: "When I was in Mount Tai, I had heard that Mr.'s piano skills are unparalleled in the world, and only the women of the Xie family can match Mr. one or two, so I want to come to Mr. as a teacher." ā
Xie Xuan sneered: "You also know that only the women of the Xie family can match them, so why don't you worship the girls of the Xie family as a teacher and choose a man?" Seeing that the woman blushed in shame, Xie Xuan said again, "If I'm not mistaken, the thing that the girl is drumming is clearly Qin Zheng, and the girl has traveled thousands of miles to seek a teacher, can't she even tell the difference between the Zheng and the qin?" ā
When the woman heard this, there were tears in her eyes, and she lowered her head and replied: "I can tell clearly, if the son can't look down on the little woman and say it directly, why bother to hurt people?" ā
Xie Xuan leaned forward, looked at the woman's eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why bother?" Oh, I'll tell you the truth, I really don't like you. ā
When Wang Caozhi heard this, he pulled Xie Xuan back. Xie Xuan didn't care about them, he just drank one glass after another, the liquor entered his throat, and he was so drunk that he was hot, and he didn't care that there was a woman in the seat, he ripped off the placket on his chest, stood up, and looked at the empty dance pavilion in front of him, full of sorrow.
Seeing this, Wang Ningzhi stepped forward and said, "Drink less." ā
Xie Xuan heard Wang Ningzhi's voice, and smashed the wine jug in his hand under the stage, spilling the wine all over the ground. Xie Xuan turned around, pointed at Wang Ningzhi and scolded: "You really think you are a character?" Is it your turn to take care of me? You are a mediocre talent, which point is comparable to others, and which point is worthy of my sister! ā
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, Xie Xuan pointed at Wang Ningzhi and cried and laughed, and said, "What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into my uncle, so that my uncle would point out a fool like my sister to you?" You say! As he spoke, he staggered and almost fell off the stage. Wang Cao stepped forward to grab Xie Xuan, Xie Xuan brushed Wang Caozhi away, and stumbled out.
Inside the house, Wang Huizhi's Wang Caozhi and others were shocked when they heard this, Xie Xuan walked out of the door crying and laughing, Wang Caozhi was not at ease, looked at the two brothers in front of him, and followed out. Wang Huizhi looked at the woman in front of him and said to her: "Where does the girl live, I will ask the scholar to send you back." ā
The girl of the sheep family also seemed to see that this was not a place to stay for a long time, so she said: "The slaves accompanying my family are waiting outside the workshop, and I will not bother my husband, and the little girl will take her leave, and come to visit him another day." With that, he withdrew. Only Ning Zhi and Hui Zhi were left in the inner room.
Ning Zhi quietly retreated, Hui Zhi sat on the seat, and asked, "Brother, don't you have anything to say to me?" Ning Zhimao stood in the dark with his waist bent, knowing that he couldn't hide, so he stopped. This music and dance workshop, which was originally a peaceful music and dance workshop, is now so solemn that even a needle can be clearly heard on the ground......
Outside, the moonlight is bright, and the snow is lined with the world's pink carved jade.
Yu Ge sat in the house, holding the scroll in her hand, and fell asleep at some point, and the slave girl came forward to put on her robe when she saw this, Yu Ge woke up for a while, turned her head, and saw that the moon was bright and the wind was clear outside the house.
Looking at the swaying shadow of the tree, thinking of the word "Zhilan Yushu", I couldn't figure out why Xie An pointed out to Xie Daoyun's family affairs Wang Ningzhi instead of Wang Huizhi? Shouldn't a talented woman like Xie Daoyun be with a talented man like Wang Huizhi since ancient times?
Yu Ge thought about it, stood up and said to the slave girl, "I need to go out." ā
The slave girl sorted out her clothes, Yu Ge looked at the flawless moonlight all over the ground, and without waiting for the slave girl to open the umbrella, she walked out alone with her skirt and stepping on the snow.
