7. Xie Fu
Xie Wan sang in a low voice, her voice was tactful and melodious, just like a warbler and a yellow oriole, and as crisp and empty as a dripping spring in the empty valley.
With the drizzle in front of her and the colorful scene of falling flowers, Xie Wan was like a fairy in Yaochi, and a beautiful picture of fairy flowers came into Lin He's eyes.
Lin He was stunned, no, drunk to be exact!
In fact, he didn't know if this poem was written by Xie Wan, but in this situation, his heart was beating like a deer crashing.
"Let Lin Gongzi smile." Xie Wan turned her head and bowed slightly.
It turned out to be really her. Lin He's admiration arose, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Miss Xie is talented!" β
Xie Wan pursed her lips and smiled slightly, as bright as a peach blossom.
β¦β¦
At the end of the peach grove sits the mansion of a verdant bamboo official.
The plaque of the mansion is impressively written with the word "Xie Fu", and the iron hook is drawn in silver, which is from the hand of a famous artist.
The vermilion gate of the mansion is closed, and the staggered bluestone steps are dotted with red dots, and a pair of majestic white marble stands quietly under the stone steps. The ochre-red glazed tiles were washed by the drizzle, and the rainwater gathered in the grooves of the tiles and trickled down the white walls.
The elegant charm of the Jiangnan water town is perfectly displayed in this exquisite mansion.
On the road in front of Xiefu, a carriage drove straight towards Xiefu unhurriedly.
Walking to the gate of Xie Mansion, the coachman stopped the carriage with a shout of "Huh-", bowed down to the carriage and said, "Master, Second Young Master, Xie Mansion has arrived." β
Someone in the carriage let out a soft "um", a young man lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped down, and then stretched out his hand to help a middle-aged man get out of the carriage, and said cautiously: "Dad, slow down."
The young man was in his twenties, wearing a red and black silk tunic with wide sleeves and a crown of gold thread. He was not tall, his lips were slightly thin, his eyebrows were slightly curled, his eyebrows were narrow, and his eyes had a slight innate arrogance.
The middle-aged man is estimated to be in his forties, with a smooth and fair face, an angular forehead, a high nose, blazing eyes, a three-inch beard, and a calm bearing. Wearing a kudzu coat and a silk scarf wrapped around his head casually, it looks a little unkempt, but it can't hide his elegant temperament at all.
When the middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage, the young man quickly held up an umbrella over his head.
The middle-aged man looked around, and a picture of the south of the Yangtze River came into view, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "This Xie Anshi!" I move here at this time of year, and I will enjoy it! β
They walked to the gate of Xie Mansion, the young man put away the umbrella, and the middle-aged man glanced at him and said softly: "Shuping, you go and call the door." β
"Yes, father." The young man replied respectfully, and walked straight to the vermilion gate, and rhythmically slapped the knocker on the door.
In a few moments, there was a rush of footsteps in the mansion, and with a "squeak", the door opened, and out of it came a young servant.
Before the young man could speak, he saw the servant take a look at the two people outside the door, and then hurriedly bowed to the end and said, "It turns out that General Wang has arrived, please come in." β
"Why, are you even exempted from reporting today?" General Wang asked curiously.
The servant hurriedly said with a smile: "The master said that if General Wang visits the door within five days, he will not be exempted from notification. β
"What a Xie Anshi, when will you learn to pinch it!" General Wang laughed, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the mansion with his hands behind his back, and everyone hurriedly followed.
In the courtyard of the mansion, there is a stone path leading to the main hall, and the road is lined with peach, pear and apricot trees. The tree is full of flowers, red and white correspondingly, a sea of flowers.
A middle-aged man sat quietly in a pavilion in the courtyard, he was dressed in a blue robe, a black cotton jacket was draped behind his back, and his hair was not tied up, but casually draped behind his back.
At this time, he was facing away from General Wang and the others, holding a charcoal-burning tongs in his right hand, holding a piece of charcoal, and was about to put it in a small stove with soju in front of him. He held an ancient book in his left hand, his eyes never off the book, and he was so preoccupied that the coal caught by the tongs did not go into the furnace, but fell to the ground. The middle-aged man was unconscious, and turned over the charcoal on the ground with tongs.
When General Wang saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing, the middle-aged man in the pavilion came back to his senses, he turned his head, revealing a handsome and heroic face, after seeing General Wang, the middle-aged man touched the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "Yi Shao, why are you here." β
"It is said that Brother An Shi is a bookworm, if I don't come, how can I see Brother An Shi being so stupid?" General Wang laughed.
"My bookworm pales in comparison to you, Wang Xizhi's goose idiot!" Xie An teased in turn.
Wang Xizhi's goose idiot is known all over the world. There is a Taoist priest in Shanyin County who is good at raising geese, Wang Xizhi once asked the Taoist priest for a goose, and the Taoist priest asked him to change the handwritten "Tao Te Ching", and Wang Xizhi happily agreed. Afterwards, his friends said that he had lost a lot, but Wang Xizhi said happily: "The Taoist priest and I have our favorite things, so why not?" As a result, Wang Xi's goose idiot became famous all over the world.
Xie An calmly pointed to the wine jug on the stove and said, "If you don't come again, I won't have your share of the burning knife that I have treasured for many years." β
When Wang Xizhi heard this, he hurriedly walked to the pavilion and said with a smile: "Burn the knife? Haha, it seems that today is not in vain! β
Xie An picked up the wine jug, looked at the young man who walked into the small pavilion, and asked with a smile: "Who is this descendantββ? β
Wang Xiyi patted his head and said embarrassedly: "I forgot, this is the dog, Wang Ningzhi, the small character Shuping, was recently transferred to the Huiji and served as the county warden." β
After finishing speaking, Wang Xizhi turned his head and said to Wang Ningzhi: "This is you Xie Shibo, you haven't seen the courtesy yet!" β
"Wang Ningzhi, who was born later, has seen Xie Shibo. Later life has long admired Xie Shibo, and seeing it today is really a blessing for three lives! Wang Ning bowed to the end, with infinite admiration in his tone.
"Uncle Ping should be polite, he served as a seven-grade pawn at a young age, which shows that he is a young talent and has the demeanor of a father." Xie An said with a smile.
"I still need to rely on Xie Shibo's support." Wang Ningzhi arched his hand and smiled flatteringly.
Xie An was noncommittal, and then asked Wang Ningzhi to sit down as well, but he naturally replaced Xie An with the work of pouring wine.
After three rounds of drinking, Xie An put down the wine glass, took out a notebook from the pile of books beside him, put it lightly on the stone table, and said, "This is Taiwei Zhong's "Declaration Form", and it will be returned to you today." β
Zhong Taiwei is the Zhong Xiang of the Three Kingdoms period, and is the calligrapher Wang Xizhi admires the most, it can be said that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has today's achievements, and the inspiration of Zhong Xizhi's calligraphy is inseparable.
Seeing Xie An return the notebook, Wang Xi was stunned and looked at him strangely. On weekdays, Xie An borrowed the post, usually based on January, but this "Declaration Form" was only borrowed for ten days.
"Declaration Table" is one of Wang Xizhi's favorite works, and it is extremely precious on weekdays, and it is easy not to show people. Xie An also loves Zhong Xuan's works, in order to borrow this notebook, but the soft bubble has been grinding for more than half a year, Wang Xizhi can't help but let go, he was ready for Xie An to borrow it for a long time, and he was prepared to ask for it at that time, but he didn't think that only a few days later, Xie An returned to the original owner.
Wang Xizhi was quite puzzled, frowned and asked, "Brother An Shi is not satisfied with this copy?" β
"Definitely." Xie An shook his head, "If you don't pay it back today, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future." β
