Chapter 100: A Gentle Light
Dongyang Lane, Xu Mansion, at this time, the Taixi Garden is not like the Qinhua Hall on the other side, under the noise of Xu Yourong, Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen, the entire Qinhua Hall is lively, at this time, the Taixi Garden and Qinhua Hall are just the opposite is extremely quiet, except for the voices of Xu Xuan and Xu Chen's brothers asking Xie Jing for teaching, and Xie Jing's kind answers, there is no other sound in this Taixi Garden is extremely quiet.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, your opinion is really too secondary, and when I hear it today, I really benefit a lot, then may I ask Your Highness, about the sentence in "On the Mountain", ......"
In the lobby of Taixi Garden, Xu Xuan and Xu Chen led several brothers were competing to ask Xie Jing for some academic questions at this time, and although the Xu family has Xu Mao and Xu Xi, two amazing and peerless wizards, it stands to reason that the children of the Xu family generally do not need to ask others about academic questions. But the truth is just the opposite, because Xu Mao and Xu Xi are usually too busy to see people, and when brothers like Xu Xuan and Xu Chen want to ask them for advice, they almost can't find anyone.
Therefore, in fact, among the children of the Xu family, only a very few have been instructed by Xu Mao and Xu Xi, and the number of times is not too much, the teachings they have received, in fact, in a large part, are almost all gentlemen of ethnicity, as for Xu Xuan and Xu Chen, then now, more teachings are naturally from Taixue.
And because of these reasons, when Xie Jing revealed such profound knowledge at this time, several brothers led by Xu Xuan and Xu Chen were immediately excited, including Xu Xuan and Xu Yi, who had been in a very depressed mood recently. At this time, it is also spiritual.
But just when Xu Xuan and Xu Chen's brothers were getting more and more energetic, the old lady Xu Rong, who had been smiling silently on the side, interrupted their questioning of Xie Jing one after another, and said, "It's already noon. If you have any questions, please ask His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and wait for lunch. ”
As soon as the old lady Xu Rong said this, Xu Xuan and Xu Chen realized that it was noon unconsciously, and the faces of Xu Xuan and several teenagers immediately became embarrassed, and they all got up and waved at Xie Jing, and said apologetically: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I'm sorry." ”
"No need to be polite. Everyone is a young man, and it is also beneficial for this king to get together like this to discuss knowledge. I hope that in the future, we will be able to discuss with each other as we do today. Xie Jing chuckled and said modestly.
And Xie Jing's words really won the favor of Xu Xuan and Xu Chen. Looking at Xie Jing's eyes, he was no longer as strange as before. And later, in the sound of the old lady Xu Rong's rice, the Taixi Garden was also quiet again.
Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking!
It's just that in such a quiet, Xie Jing's mood is very good, very good, and originally at the beginning, Xie Jing was the best candidate for his concubine, he locked the Xu family and the eldest daughter of the Xu family, Xu Yourong, from the beginning, but he didn't expect him to make a thousand calculations. In the end, he finally married the daughter of the Xu family, and he can be regarded as an in-law relationship with the Xu family. But his concubine is not Xu Yourong, and the person he married became Xu Youshan, the concubine of the Xu family in Jiangzuo.
And in the Great Zhou, how big is the difference between a concubine and a concubine? Let's take the marriage of Xie Jing and Xu Youshan as an example, if Xie Jing fails to win the heir in the future and will be exiled or condemned, it will be because he is married to Xu Youshan, the concubine of the Jiangzuo Xu family, and when Xie Jing is exiled, Xu Youshan will have to sit together, but this has nothing to do with the Xu family.
Why is that? Because Xu Youshan is the concubine of the Xu family, and the concubine who married out was convicted, it has nothing to do with her mother's family, but what if it is Xu Yourong's concubines who are convicted? Needless to say, the Xu family also has to be affected together, because Xu Yourong is the daughter of the Xu family and the descendant of the Xu family, if she commits a major crime, although the Xu family does not have to be guilty, but the implication is definitely bearable, and this implication is still a small step.
And this is the difference between a concubine and a concubine, and this is why Xie Jing, Xie Yan and Xie Wen have been working hard to frame Xu Yourong, Xu Mingcheng and Xu Mingwen to let them marry themselves.
But also for this reason, after Xie Jing and Xu Youshan's marriage was forcibly finalized by Emperor Zhou Hui at the beginning, Xie Jing was unusually silent for a long time before he returned to the previous gentle and elegant prince.
But just when even Xie Jing had given up the big fish of the Xu family in Jiangzuo, what he didn't expect was that the Xu family took the initiative to send him a message of goodwill?
Jiangzuo Xu's big house is not prosperous, not to mention that there is only one son-in-law, Xu Chen, let's just say that the concubine is just a hand, and it is such a precious heir, the current Xu family's old lady Xu Rong actually let them come to contact Xie Jing, and also let Xie Jing show a good talent in front of them, which won the favor of Xu Xuan and Xu Chen, which is not a small matter for Xie Jing, but a big thing.
Therefore, although Xie Jing didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of old foxes like the old lady Xu Rong now, this did not prevent Xie Jing from feeling high at this time.
And that's it, in this very peaceful and harmonious atmosphere, Taixi Garden and Qinhuatang both spent a bright spring noon, ushering in a bright evening, and in this moment when the sun has gradually set and the sky is red, in Taixi Garden, a not big, but extremely heavy banquet has begun - the big room and the second room of the Xu family in Jiangzuo all appeared at this Xu Youshan's Guining banquet.
At this time, Xie Jing has changed from a high mood at noon to a cold one, although the current Xie Jing still looks gentle and elegant on the surface, but after Xu Luo and Mrs. Zheng appeared in Taixi Garden with Xu Mao and others in the current door, all the nerves in Xie Jing's mind have collapsed.
As for Xu Youshan, who was sitting next to Xie Jing, she also had some cold sweat at this time.
Although the big house and the second room of the Xu family often get together in normal times, the relationship between the pure family banquet and the current situation is not half a dime at the beginning, at this time when Xie Jing was present. The old lady Xu Luo and Xu Rong actually attended at the same time, and Xu Mao and Xu Xi were also present, if Xu Youshan hadn't realized that something was wrong. Then she really got kicked in the brain by a donkey......
But no matter what kind of alarm bell Xie Jing and Xu Youshan are now, anyway, there is no trace of anything strange in their faces, among which Xu Youshan is okay, after all, she has Pei and Xu Yourong, when Xu Youshan finds out that something is wrong, find the gap, Xu Youshan can also bite her ears with Xu Yourong and Xu Ming. Tell me what's going on.
But Xie Jing is different, in this case, he is a little alone.
So in this warm spring that is neither hot nor cold. Xu Youshan actually found a drop of cold sweat on Xie Jing's forehead.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
In the banquet where the wine has passed the third round, everyone in the Xu family drank and laughed. They were very happy with each other. Except for the old lady Xu Luo and Xu Rong when they faced Xie Jing, there were words in those one or two sentences, and the esoteric and obscure questions to the extreme. And because of this, Xie Jing, who has always been conceited, was also shocked in his heart at this time, although he always knew that there was a sky outside the sky, but what he didn't expect was that there was someone outside this person, who was so close to him.
But even when Xie Jing was a little confused and confused. Xu Youshan's unique voice, which was light and light, and had a childlike squeamishness, slowly crossed Xie Jing's heart. made him suddenly come back from his confusion, and his slender beautiful eyes also looked at Xu Youshan for the first time in this night, and looked at Xu Youshan carefully, letting the cold sweat on his forehead drip to the ground.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Xu Youshan usually doesn't look at Xie Jing squarely, but this is not because she is arrogant or anything, but because Xie Jing is too good, Xu Youshan is afraid that she will look at him, and she will do something that makes her want to get into the hole and never come out again. Therefore, it is extremely rare to face Xie Jing's upright eyes now, but this extremely rare does not mean anything, after all, Xu Youshan can not be a nymphomaniac to Xie Jing now, just because Xie Jing is a little abnormal now, so abnormal that Xu Youshan can't care about worrying about him being a nymphomaniac.
And looking at Xu Youshan, who was worried about herself like this, in Xie Jing's slender beautiful eyes, those chaotic lights gradually became clear, and then Xie Jing pulled the corners of his lips hard, and finally showed a smile, Xie Jing said to Xu Youshan: "You look at me, do you think there is anything strange?" ”
Xie Jing's question is really clueless, but Xu Youshan still said truthfully: "Well, it's nothing strange, it's the same as you usually do." "It's a fake laugh.
Xu Youshan rolled her clear eyes and pinched off the second half of the more truthful words, but maybe because Xie Jing was finally looking at Xu Youshan carefully in Zaizai, so when she turned her eyes away, Xie Jing's narrow eyes narrowed, and she found that she had something to say, but now is really not the right time to ask her, so Xie Jing ignored Xu Youshan's surprised gaze after whispering "yes" to Xu Youshan, and turned around and sat down, ready to meet the next heavy blow from the old lady Xu Luo and Xu Rong.
As for Xu Youshan, of course, she was frightened by Xie Jing's "yes", but she, like Xie Jing, knew that the current situation was special, so she also tried not to interfere with Xie Jing, so this matter was left behind by her later when she talked to Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen.
So much so that after this somewhat strange banquet finally ended, after Xu Youshan and Pei's family, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen reluctantly broke up, on the way back to the Chu Palace, Xie Jing suddenly asked Xu Youshan what to say, but Xu Youshan was taken aback.
"What did you say?" Xu Youshan looked at Xie Jing in surprise and asked.
"I said what you just didn't finish, what is it?" Xie Jing and Xu Youshan sat in a very large carriage, so the distance between the four sides of the car was not close, at this time Xie Jing and Xu Youshan were sitting on the soft couch in the east and the soft couch in the west, but the distance between the two was three steps away, which made Xu Youshan want to pretend to be stupid as soon as Xie Jing's words came out.
But before Xu Youshan could speak, Xie Jing, who was softly leaning on the large satin pillow with sprinkled gold piping, looked out the window and continued: "I just asked you at the banquet, saying that you look at me, is there anything strange?" You say no, it's the same as usual. But you didn't finish what you had to say, what was it? ”
Xu Youshan froze in place, and there were still some signs of petrification, and thought: Such a person is really unpleasant, as long as others say bad things about him, he can see it? How can such people get along well...... Xu Youshan didn't know how many times she had slandered Xie Jing in her heart, but before Xu Youshan could have enough fun, Xie Jing spoke again: "You don't say it?" ”
Xu Youshan was stunned for a moment, and struggled and struggled after a while, and also thought of Xie Jing's terrifying grudge and his small heart, rather than letting him guess and hate her a little more, it was better to be honest and frank.
"It's nothing, just... That's it, that's you...... You're just as fake as you usually laugh. Xu Youshan almost finished the last few words with her eyes closed, but just as Xu Youshan waited for Xie Jing's terrifying coercion to come, she only heard a chuckle.
"As fake as usual? How so? Xie Jing kept looking out the window, his gaze moved back to the little black charcoal that was almost shrunk into a ball, and asked Xu Youshan with a smile in his cold voice.
"Oh, even when no one is around, you smile at me with a mocking face, and while that's annoying, it's more than the kind of smirk you have in front of other people...... It's going to be much better. Maybe it's Xie Jing, who has drunk wine, is easier to get along with than the usual Xie Jing, so Xu Youshan told the truth without thinking much about it at this time.
And looking at the little black charcoal that had been looking down at the poppy flower bright satin purple trimmed brocade pillow she was holding, Xie Jing couldn't see it, her blood-red lips like flowers curved slightly, revealing the most real smile.
It's a pity that what Xu Youshan has been looking at is the brocade pillow with bright satin and purple trim of the poppy flower that she is holding tightly, so she didn't see Xie Jing's short-lived smile, she only raised her eyes when Xie Jing turned her head to look out of the window again, and tilted her head to look at Xie Jing, he is so strange today, although the banquet just now is also very strange, but what makes Xu Youshan even more strange is the current Xie Jing. But despite this, Xu Youshan still didn't ask anything, and after glancing at Xie Jing's soft light in the carriage, which looked even more delicate in the light of the night pearl, Xu Youshan also turned her head to look at the passing scenery outside the moon screen window on her side.
