Chapter 2: Southern Fox and Northern Wolf

Xianbei Murong naturally had many tribute gifts, but it was rare for the five princes to give items alone, and I heard that the five princes Murong Ba were eight years old, and he was more loved by Murong Hao, the king of Liaodong, than the prince. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Murong Ba named and gave gifts to the Xie family, which made everyone look forward to it.

Xie An originally wanted to take Wang Xizhi to the Qinhuai River for a walk, but he didn't want to be stopped halfway, if he hadn't known that it was Murong Ba who gave the gift, he would have fled a long time ago.

"After a long journey, you go back and sleep first, and I'll look for you at night."

Before Xie An sent her to the Langya Wang's mansion, Wang Xizhi asked, "Won't you go back to Taixue to study and cultivate books tonight?" When you left Jiankang, you were copying "Liang Chunqiu", but there is still a lack of other annotated versions? "Spring and Autumn" is vague and big. ”

Xie An looked relaxed, "Originally, it was a book, I think the regular script is more suitable for beginners to read, so I copied the reputation while practicing the words, and if I don't understand, I went to Daddy and Teacher Bian, but these eleven volumes can be copied for a long time, and after copying, I will send it to the lettering maker to do a copy of the offset printing to see how the effect is." ”

Wang Xizhi nodded, "I think the clay movable type is very good, as you said, it can be preserved longer with lead, but you have to find a good craftsman, and now the paper is not good enough, last time you said that the rice paper, I don't know how Uncle Huan Yi did it......"

Xie An still wanted to talk to her, but the palace guards couldn't help but urge, "San Lang should enter the palace quickly." ”

Wang Xizhi asked curiously, "Then how did the fifth prince know Ahri?" ”

Xie An shrugged, "Who knows?" ”

Murong Ba is his person, Xie An knows that he is the famous Murong Trai of the Murong family in later generations, he has taken refuge in Fu Jian in history, and then ran away, and rebuilt the Yan Kingdom after Fu Jian's defeat in the Battle of Weishui, but now there is no shadow of the Yan Kingdom, and Murong Ba has not fallen from a horse and broken his teeth, so he has not changed his name to Murong Trai.

The eight-year-old little prince wanted to give a gift to a person who had never been masked and was thousands of miles away, no wonder all the ministers of Taicheng were waiting for Xie An to return to receive the gift.

Sima Yan has been on the throne for four years, and Empress Dowager Yu has also been regent for four years. In addition to Sima Zonghou, Yu Liang is even more powerful, and year by year he is getting tighter and tighter to force Su Jun, who is stationed in Liyang, to return to Jiankang to take office, and dismiss his military power in disguise.

Su Jun was friendly with Sima Zong, who rebelled four years ago. The people who have a stake in them have all been demoted, but Sima Zong has fled without a trace, although the biggest possibility in the rumors is that Sima Zong is now sheltered by Su Jun, but no one has any evidence.

It is precisely because Yu Liang is in Taicheng. Xie An didn't bother to go back to meet him, but Empress Dowager Yu's attitude towards him was much better, but Xie An was either in Tai Academy or Wuyi Lane in the past four years, and Taicheng only went once a year on New Year's Day.

Naturally, he was too lazy to clean up and dress up when he was summoned to the palace, and there was no shame in wearing regular clothes on weekdays.

Fangfei in April, Taicheng peach blossoms are in full bloom, but in recent years, even in April, the cold wind in Jiangnan continues, blowing the peach petals one after another, and after the rain, the wet stone steps are sticky. The whole Taicheng is more and more like being immersed in ink paintings.

Not long after, it rained again, and when Xie An arrived in the hall, he was already stained with some petals and light rain, his forehead was slightly wet, and his azure robe looked very abrupt among the ministers in scarlet clothes.

This should have been said to be an embarrassed appearance, but in the eyes of others, it was clear and clear, the growth of the young man began to accelerate after the age of ten, and he was even more prosperous when he was fourteen years old, Xie Shang in the palace did not see his baby brother for a few days, and suddenly felt that he was a few inches taller.

Xie An's temperament is precocious. At this time, a pair of obsidian pupils seemed to be calm in the ink, and when he looked at it, it seemed that he could see the secret in his heart.

Entertaining Murong's envoys was naturally a banquet, and Xie Shang pulled him to sit beside him. was going to help him wipe off the petals, but then he thought it was so good-looking, Xie An couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that Xie Shang's fancy temperament still hadn't changed much.

The gift Murong Ba sent was a pair of white wolf eyes, which were often decorated on spears.

The Murong envoy also said: "Zhisan Lang is good at calligraphy, but I haven't seen a good weasel." I can't choose a good wolf pen for Saburo. I heard that San Lang is both civil and military, and this pair of white wolves can be used as sword spikes. ”

The white wolf is rare, and this pair of white wolves has no variegated hair, Xie An took the gift box and expressed his gratitude, and the envoy also smiled: "The fifth prince of my family was going to give San Lang a pair of wolf eyes, but he was afraid of scaring Xiao Langjun." ”

It was probably because the envoy saw that Xie An was delicate, especially the hands, which were even fairer than this white wolf, so he laughed, and the Xianbei people who were traveling with him couldn't help laughing, the people they saw in the Southern Jin Dynasty were all such delicate Langjun, and they probably wondered why their fifth prince would give a gift to the young man in front of him.

I heard that this Xie family Saburo is one year older than the fourth prince, but if the two stand together, the four princes are tigers, and Xie An is a cat.

Xie An said frankly: "Thank you to the fifth prince for your kindness, but I want a wolf cub more than these." ”

The envoy was a little surprised, "Alive? ”

Xie An nodded, "Naturally, they want to live, the wolves of Liaodong are unmatched, just like the Murong Xianbei clan, if they don't have this bravery, how can they occupy a side in the heavy encirclement of Goguryeo, Duan's Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei, and Shi Zhao?" ”

The envoy was stunned before he said: "But the Liaodong wolf is going to this water town, and I am afraid that the water and soil are not adapted." ”

Xie An smiled, "Murong Xian humbly respects me as the orthodox Great Jin, and manages the two states of Youyou and Ping on his behalf, naturally he is the minister of my Great Jin, and the whole world is the king's land, what's wrong with this wolf of Liaodong coming to live in the south?" ”

Murong envoy immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and the hall became very quiet, although he was talking about wolf cubs, some people had already thought that what Xie An said was the pledge of the Murong clan.

The Murong clan regarded the Jin Dynasty as orthodox, so attacking the surrounding provinces was also a good excuse, if it weren't for the fact that there was a gap between the central and Zhongzhou Hu, it would be inevitable to send protons into Beijing.

But at this time, the discerning people knew that the Jin Dynasty retreated to Jiangzuo and was in a weak position, but the weak was weak, and there were some things to say, Yu Liang was worried that he had no excuse to make it clear, and he didn't think that as soon as Xie An came, he helped him solve the problem.

Sima Yu coughed lightly, glanced at the smile that appeared in Xie An's eyes, and added without saltiness, "This king heard that among the sons of Liaodong Gong, these five princes are naturally smart and courageous, and they are favored, and the rewards must be countless. ”

Sima Yu is worthy of being the most proficient in looking at the eyes, Xie An smiled, and said to the Murong envoy who was still stunned: "Xiaomin also has a return gift, and it can be sent to the outer pavilion early tomorrow morning, please hand it over to the fifth prince." ”

When I got home, this white wolf was just given to Wang Xizhi, Wang Xizhi has also practiced swordsmanship with Director Wang in recent years, and Xie An sharpened a wooden sword a while ago just to send it to her. The remaining one was tied to his sword.

This figure has grown Xie Shang's shoulders, which is just right for the sword.

As for the return gift, Xie An filled dozens of cans in the Longjing before the Qingming Festival in his tea garden, and the tea garden began to be planted for more than three years. This year's Ming Qian tea is the best color, and he only hopes that Director Wang, who is leading the trend of the times, will fall in love with drinking brewed tea and drive the trend. Instead of letting him go through the historical evolution of a hodgepodge of various dried fruits from boiling tea in clear water to adding salt, vinegar and pepper.

A while ago, Wang Xizhi loved the milk tea he made, and girls should eat sweet and fragrant things, but every time they drink milk tea. Wang Xizhi will sigh again why his face has not lost weight.

Unexpectedly, before half a month, a letter came from the north, and it was transferred from the palace to Xie An.

This Hongyan biography also spread a little fast.

The person who wrote the letter was Murong Ke.

"Yanzi Spring and Autumn" said: orange born in Huainan is orange, born in Huaibei is orange, if San Lang likes the northern wolf, he is willing to go south to the Bohai Sea to pick up San Lang to live in Liaodong, and then you can take San Lang to hunt and catch wolves. In addition, Aliudun's handwriting is not good, so I will write it for me. ”

"I heard that San Lang once escaped from the human slaughter, and now he is famous in Shizhao. If you want to leave the Jiangnan Swallow's Nest one day, you can be more careful, but if you wait a few more years, after the fourth brother and I kill that person, it will not be too late. By the way, Mr. Ma's horse is very covetous, the black horse is matched with the fourth brother, but the white horse says that it is yours, if you can't control it, you have to send it back to Liaodong as soon as possible. Aliutun. Above. ”

Ah Liudun is Murong Ba's humble name, this kid is interesting, Xie An looked at the letter and smiled for a long time, only to feel that the gloomy weather seemed to be clear.

Wang Xizhi didn't know what he was laughing at. Xie An handed the letter to her, and after she read it, she first said: "This Murong Ke's handwriting is actually good, and he also reads Yanzi, it seems that they are not uncivilized barbarians, and Adin also said that now Shi Hu is vigorously promoting Confucianism in Xiangguo, this light Confucian style is still not good." ”

Xie Anxin praised. Ah Su is Ah Su, and he always sees things differently from others.

Wang Xizhi asked again: "This Ah Liudun is the child who sent you the white wolf?" You want to kidnap him as a proton? ”

"The proton thing is also to scare them casually." Xie An folded the letter and said lightly, "If we really want to get to this point, it has to be that we have recovered Luoyang, Liaodong and Jiangdong are too far apart, what Murong Xianbei wants to do, Dajin has no choice, and now I can only look forward to the day of cooperation for a long time." ”

After the demise of Qianhu in history, Murong Ba also led his soldiers and horses to defeat Huan Wen after Fu Jian, and beheaded as many as 30,000 Jin people.

This potential enemy has to be guarded against, and the children who are a threat to the Jin Dynasty should be reformed earlier, and it is best to get the Jin Dynasty to be a proton, under his nose, Murong Ke, a general and a loyal minister, seems to love his younger brother very much, and he will be able to get along. The Great Jin and Murong Xianbei should coexist peacefully against the Qianhu, and it is very necessary to defend against the Great Qin Fu clan who has not yet appeared.

"How do I reply?" Wang Xizhi approached his table, this baby's fat face was really delicious, and the tiger teeth were even more itchy when he laughed, Xie An wanted to bully her if he didn't control himself a little, but unfortunately the difference between men and women was too clear when he grew up, and it was not good if he was seen.

Especially Ah Yi, who is everywhere, if he sues him in front of Wang Dao, Xie An is afraid that he will not be able to see Wang Xizhi for several months.

Xie An said sullenly: "Then reply to the letter and ask this kid to ride carefully, don't break his teeth." ”

"Teeth?" Wang Xizhi couldn't help but cover his tiger teeth.

Xie An sighed namelessly, "Murong Ba, the breath of Wang Ba, how nice it sounds, changing it to drooping has the declining qi of the sun." ”

Wang Xizhi has always been too lazy to take it to heart if she doesn't understand, she has known Xie An for so many years, and she doesn't know that he often comes up with some strange words, she retracted back to her desk and began to water the bluegrass, and asked after a long time: "Wang Ba...... Isn't there a stewed soft-shelled turtle in Liaodong? Do you want to send them some more? ”

Xie An remembered the pile of tortoise shells piled up in the corner of the firewood room that Guo Pu asked him to use for tortoise shell divination homework, and couldn't help but say: "Then it's good to send some, and I'll attach a recipe for how to cook, by the way, let's eat this tonight, you will be hungry when you talk about eating." ”

"Ahri, who knows me." Wang Xizhi forgot about his baby fat, and was willing to be fed by Xie An with his slender waist and slender hands and feet.

Xie An remembered that when she returned to Jiankang that day, she was still interested in the rats in the river, and couldn't help but tease her, "If the rat meat is delicious, Ah Su can't eat it?" ”

Wang Xizhi bit his lip seriously, thinking, and couldn't help wrapping the bluegrass leaves around his white fingertips, such a serious appearance was no different from when writing.

Xie An added fuel and vinegar and said: "When the displaced people moved south, they were also very happy to encounter mice, because they could eat them. ”

Wang Xizhi finally realized that Xie An was teasing her, and almost threw Du Yu's pot of bluegrass out as a hidden weapon, but fortunately he was held down in time, Wang Xizhi tiptoed in front of him, stretched out his hand to compare the height of the two, and then stepped aside, hugged his arms and smiled without saying a word.

Xie An grinded his teeth and stood up quickly, "I'm as tall as you now, but what about you, since last year, you have only grown a face and haven't grown taller, and by next year, I'll be taller than you." ”

Wang Xizhi couldn't help but smile and replied, "I'll wait, it's really a long time to wait from the age of four to the age of fourteen." ”

After she finished speaking, she was suddenly stunned, Xie An was also stunned, and stretched out ten fingers stupidly, counting from the fourth year of Taining, it was really ten years.

"It won't be too long." Xie An said with a smile, the two looked at each other, with two mats in between, but they didn't mean to get closer, looking at it from a distance, they could see it more clearly.

Wang Xizhi did not have the shyness and hypocrisy of ordinary family girls, blinked, showed the sharp teeth of the tiger, and said with a calm smile: "You will do everything you say." ”

Xie An said: "What I can say is growing taller. ”

Wang Xizhi said innocently: "Eat more for dinner." ”

Everyone in the world has their nemesis, Xie An failed to flirt with the girl, so he said: "I'll go and make you something to eat, little lady, please sit and wait." ”

There have been no new subordinates in the Tai Academy for four years, Ruyi is serving Du Yu wholeheartedly, Xie An has to do it himself if he wants to eat, Du Yu is from the dark cooking world, and he is happy to eat.

Wang Xizhi came to Tai Academy today, and Xie An naturally wanted to behave.

I didn't think that Wang Xizhi rolled up his sleeves and said: "I want to chop wood, Long Bo gave me a small sword, I want to try whether it is sharp." ”

The small sword sent by Wang Dao is naturally worth a lot of money and is used to chop wood...... It can only be said that good things are useless in the hands of Wang Xi, and chopping wood can also be regarded as making a difference.

Wang Xizhi's Xuan Xiu has decades of work, plus he is born with Xuan Qi to protect his body, if he is placed in a fantasy novel, he will be the protagonist of the anti-heaven hanging, Xie An saw her draw her sword and split a piece of wood in the air, and couldn't help but sigh, "Ah Yi, she is like this, what do you say you want to guard." ”

Ah Yi said embarrassedly: "But this consumption is huge, and you can only use it once a day." ”

Wang Xizhi was very satisfied with the sword and returned it to the sheath, "It's not bad, it just so happens that my paper-cutting bamboo knife is broken, and I can replace it with this." ”

Here Xie An was cooking vegetables, but he didn't expect Huan Wen to ride a military horse like a wild horse to break into the Tai Academy, his head was full of sweat, and his anxious appearance was in great contrast with Xie An's leisurely Wang Xizhi, Xie An asked, "Eat together?" ”

Huan Wen looked nauseated, and after a long pause, he said: "A group of dead rats floated in the river west of the city, it is a large group, densely floating on the water, and blocked under the Vermilion Bird Bridge, it makes people uncomfortable, Lord Yu has sent someone to Taishi Ling to ask why this is a sign, but I am afraid that rumors are spreading throughout Jiankang City!" ”

Xie An raised his eyebrows, remembering that Wang Xizhi said that there were rats in the river a while ago, and asked, "What are the rumors?" ”

Huan Wen said: "Naturally, it's not a good rumor, rats are infested with the river, and the country will have disasters." ”

(To be continued.) )

PS: I'm not sure if it's hair or eyes, but it's sent anyway. Don't worry about these details.
