Chapter 59: Meilang is picturesque across the clouds

Taicheng night banquet, just after the middle of the Yuan, the ghost spirit has not been eliminated, the palace walls are floating like blood pomegranate flowers, the source said that the Empress Dowager Yu missed the first emperor very much, and ordered people to cut off the pomegranate flowers in the entire Taicheng, "pomegranate" sound the same as "stay", probably thinking about leaving the soul of the first emperor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The atmosphere of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is contaminated with the customs of the Western Jin Dynasty, but there is no decadence of the six dynasties in the later generations, everything is the appearance of the newborn, the old palace wall still carries the distant poetry of the Wu Kingdom, the feng shui of the south of the Yangtze River is somewhat incompatible with the purple gas of Jiankang, and the hundred steels can also be taken down by the fingers, so tonight's celebration banquet has the meaning of inspiring the army.

Going to the banquet, Xie An wanted to refuse, this bad luck came to the door, and let him put on a smiling face at the Yu family, isn't this his own reaction? It's just that after this negative thought flashed, he immediately felt that Ah Yan's letter came well and wonderfully.

So he asked Xie Zhenshi to dress up carefully for him, and the dark crimson clothes made his face more and more jade-smooth, at first Xie Zhenshi saw that he was pale and wanted to put some rouge on his cheeks, Xie An dodged left and right and saw his sister's smile, only to know that this was Sister A testing him.

"It seems that you don't like to eat rouge either, don't go to Zhige again in the future, if you really want to raise a housekeeper to accompany and serve, Sister Ah will pick it for you, don't be afraid of hue."

Xie An hurriedly shook his head, so that after explaining something, Xie Zhenshi let him go with Sima Yu and Sima Yue.

Sitting in the ox cart with the two princes, Xie An was much more relaxed, Sima Yue saw him call the teacher, Xie An replied with a smile, the two chatted about the books they had read recently, Xie An did not snub Sima Yu, the three of them talked and laughed and arrived in the imperial city in an instant.

Xie An is very familiar with Taicheng, in addition to Wuyi Lane over the years, he is most familiar with the palace, and the banquet etiquette has not been forgotten, if there is a slight mistake, it is sorry for Xie Shang's teaching.

Since it is for Xi Jian to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and to praise Huan Yi and other important ministers, so the ministers will meet, except for the children and nephews sent by Wang Dao, who is sick, all the major families can come.

As soon as Xie An got out of the car, he heard that the banquet had just begun, and the Lord Bian Wangzhi sued Wang Dao in front of the ministers, saying that he was lazy in government affairs, but he met with General Xi in private.

Bian Wangzhi was loyal and upright, and he had long seen that Wang Dao's inaction was not going well, and he also said: "In the imperial history, Cheng Zhongya neglected his duties and did not act according to the royal code, and he had the responsibility of shielding Situ and should be punished together." ”

This hard-sighted hard-working official just doesn't please the Yu family at some times, obviously he is at the banquet and is on the side, and in front of Wang Biaozhi and Zhong Ya, it is simply a blockage.

Fortunately, Wang Biaozhi and Zhong Ya each drank and looked at the sky, eager to see a hole in the roof of the beam, and the scholars of the others were busy relieving the siege for the three of them, and at the same time appeasing Bian Wangzhi.

Sima Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that Uncle Wang and his younger brother were arriving with Xie An, and immediately left the table to greet them.

Sima Yan made it clear that he wanted to go against his mother, most of the officials and scholars held the posture of watching the play on the wall in their hearts, the Xie family is now suffering from a great humiliation, and the major families in Beijing have sent people to come, and Xie Bao, the secretary of the ministry, is angry and resigned from the banquet, but the little lord invited Xie An to come.

And Xie An also dared to go to the appointment.

Xi Jian sat on the upper seat and glanced at Yu Liang, the old man's eyes were full of a smile from the spring breeze and the warm sun, but the look on his face was like an iron wall, not angry and arrogant.

Yu Liang slandered in his heart, Bian Wangzhi said that Xi Jian was contradictory, and he was very upright in the face of the lord, but he liked to listen to the flattery of his subordinates; second, they pay attention to integrity, but they are concerned about money; Third, he likes to read, but he hates the people around him who are mediocre in their studies.

Now smiling like this, do you appreciate Xie An, or do you hate Xiao Langjun who is precocious?

Yu Liang also thought about it, Xie An was just a child in his eyes, and he was not a threat.

Xi Jian is the late celebrity Zhou Yi and Ji Zhan jointly admired the national generals, at present, Yu Xi and the two families are still harmonious, if you want to further use the method of marriage, Yu Liang's eldest son Yu Bin has married Zhuge Hui's eldest daughter Zhuge Wenbiao, although the Zhuge family is not in politics, but the family has a deep heritage, ordinary families can not ask for marriage. But his second son Yu Xi and Xi Jian's daughter are several years apart, if they can marry, Yu will get Xi Jian's help, and he will definitely be better than Langya Wang's family.

Xi Jian didn't know that Yu Liang was thinking about his baby daughter, but he had a little resonance with Director Wang about Xi Xuan's marriage, and Director Wang also smiled, "When the children are older, I will let her choose the children of the Wang family in Langya." ”

The two ministers were distracted to think about it, and the Empress Dowager Yu suppressed her anger and waited for Xie An to come forward and salute.

Empress Dowager Yu thought that Xie An would be very angry, after all, she was still a child, and it was common to write joy, anger and sorrow on her face, but when Xie An came over, Rao was a little distracted, and the prodigy in the picture scroll was nothing more than that, especially the face without joy and anger had a pure heart and few desires that the world could not ask for.

How did the Xie family raise such a child? Xie Shang, who already has a graceful demonic rule, can this Xie An be good when he grows up?

Before Empress Dowager Yu had time to think about it, she saw that Xie An had already saluted, and Sima Yan wanted to pull him to sit on the edge of his seat, but Xie An refused with a smile, what kind of system would he become if he sat on the emperor's main seat? Back then, even Director Wang didn't dare to sit with Sima Rui, for fear of attracting right and wrong.

Although at that time, the reputation of the Langya Wang clan to suppress the Sima clan was already famous all over the world.

Sima Yan was determined to give Xie An face tonight, all for the purpose of compensating the Empress Dowager Yu for besieging the mansion, Xie An'an took it and quietly said to him: "Thank you, little lord." ”

Sima Yan replied: "By the way, when the Baitou Guild arrives, I heard that you have a conflict with his servant, do you want me to mediate for you after the banquet?" He is not at odds with my uncle, but if your family is friendly with him, you can ......."

There is no need to say much about the following words, but Sima Yan saw Xie An and smiled faintly, "It's enough for me to be good friends with you, but you are the little master." ”

There is no smile in his eyes, it seems that he really doesn't have this mind. Sima Yan actually didn't dare to get close to such a Xie An, and always felt that this was not like the friends he knew in the past.

Sima Yan deliberately dragged him not to leave, and Xie An was also happy to respond in front of the Yu brothers and sisters, only to hear Sima Yan ask: "I got Ahri's poem "Compassion for Nong" today, I don't know why you think of this?" ”

"Didn't Lord He tell the little lord?" Xie An swept around, the sound of music and the glass barrier complemented each other, the candlelight was blurred, the fragrance of flowers was rich like a dream, the cups were staggered, the bowls were shaking, and the banquet was not yet exciting, but some people were already confused and slightly drunk.

"It's just a matter of educating children." Xie An skipped the incident of garlic being scared awake by the search house today, and saved a full face for the Yu brothers and sisters, and the Empress Dowager Yu saw that he knew the general situation, but it was a little pleasing to the eye, and her eyes couldn't help but be gentle.

After all, Xie An doesn't look like Xie Shang.

However, before the Empress Dowager Yu came back to her senses, she saw Xie An take the initiative to glance at her, and then said: "Zhongyuan Soul Return, I heard that the Empress Dowager has not slept all night, and I hereby present the second brother Yige Hongshi Gonggong Danfang made the beauty and tranquility pill." ”

After that, the servants who were waiting outside the temple were ordered to offer the elixir.

Empress Dowager Yu was stunned and didn't react.

No one expected that Xie Jiasanlang, who has always been so low-key that he can't wait to make himself invisible, would take the initiative to do something, this time, is he here to curry favor with the Yu family?

Some people rightly think so.

But Xi Jian and Yu Liang waited for Xie An's next move, when the Empress Dowager Yu received the elixir, Xie An really had a follow-up move, and saw that Sima Yu, who disappeared at some point, led people to bring a row of light gauze screens like mist, with a total of three screens.

Xie An wants to paint.

Sima Yue has long been studying ink on the side, so that the prince can be a helper, only Wang Dao has treatment, Xie An dipped the pen in ink, contemplated the drawing paper for a moment, estimated the layout, and then put down the pen and began to draw the first one.

The first one is very simple, with a child sitting on an adult's lap with a round of sun above his head.

Then he took up a pen to annotate, "Raise your eyes to see the sun, but not see Chang'an."

The second is a young man in Chinese costumes, riding a horse and leading his samurai to swim in the landscape.

The third picture is a bloody young man sailing alone with a red bird, looking out like a misty river.

In fact, when he painted the first painting, someone saw the clue, and the person in this painting was none other than the first emperor Sima Shao.

After these three paintings, the hands of the maid holding the candlestick froze, and then Xie An was more tired than her, and when she put down the pen, her forehead was already a crystal sweat stain, but the painting was not finished.

He changed his pen and wrote the word "fish" in the corner of the screen.

As he writes the last stroke, the handwriting disappears from the canvas, turning into two ink-colored traces of swimming water back and forth between the three screens.

"I heard that there is a word 'fish' in the queen mother's nickname, so I wanted to make this painting." Xie An explained slightly, then took the towel handed by Sima Yu, and hid aside to close his eyes and recuperate.

"Isn't it a disappointment if there are paintings but no poems?"

I don't know who coaxed it, the big and small officials who were still looking at the painting brought Xie An back into the spotlight, Xie An caught a glimpse of the seven-star mole on half of Huan Wen's face, and said in his heart, this person is too good at coaxing.

After thinking about it, he was here tonight, and the things at the bottom of the box had to be taken out, so he drank tea to moisten his throat and chanted Li Baida's "Three Sauvignon Blanc" one by one.

"Beauty is like a flower across the clouds. There is a high sky above the green and dark sky, and there is a wave of water below...... Sauvignon Blanc, heart-wrenching ......"

"This song is intentionally passed on, and I am willing to send it with the spring breeze."

"The incense will not be extinguished, and no one will come. Acacia yellow leaves fall (13), white dew wet moss. ”

Looking at Empress Dowager Yu's pale face, Xie An couldn't help but feel a little better, and before Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hatred" was sacrificed, he saw Empress Dowager Yu get up and find an excuse to leave, everyone caught a glimpse of tears in the corners of her eyes, but there was anger in her eyes, I don't know if she misses her deceased husband or hates Song Yuan, together with Xie Shang, who she regards as a fellow party.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Yu Liang got up and said quietly: "San Lang's Luoyang Yong is quite charming, confusing and lovesick." ”

The powerful ministers of the Jin Dynasty still spoke a Luoyang accent, and the local scholars and officials were envious and wanted to follow this arrogant trend.

Xie An's Luoyang song is like a phoenix's nest.

Such a delicate and jade-like little Langjun has more and more similarities with his famous brother Jiang Zuo, but Xie Shang is stunning and vulgar, Xie An is like a rock, everyone knows now that the Empress Dowager Yu ordered people to surround the Xie Mansion, but when He Chong returned, he said to Yu Liang, "If the Xie clan of Chen County can survive this catastrophe, he will become a first-class gatekeeper." ”

Today's first-class gate valves, counted, except for the declining Taiyuan Wang family, the Jiangnan Ji Gu Lu family is not reused because it is not a northern scholar, the older generation has passed away, and the new generation is still the eldest Xiao Langjun, but among these Xiao Langjun, none of them can be as special as Xie An.

At a young age, he doesn't fight or win, and he is as indifferent as a person outside the world. This was the most respected scholar ethos in the Jin Dynasty.

Although there have been some unfavorable comments about him recently, no one can take away the literary talent and calligraphy and painting.

Yu Liang saw that Xie An, who has always been low-key, was in the limelight tonight, and he was glad that the Jin Dynasty had this talent, but he was worried that Xie An would become a complete opponent of the Yu family because of Xie Shang's matter.

Xie An has always been close to the Langya Wang family, if he was obtained by Wang Dao's old fox, wouldn't it be his regret for Yu Liang?

Huan Wen, who had been coaxed, finally appeared at this time, and at the same time there were two people around him, looking at some faces, Huan Wen hurriedly introduced him, "Captain Si Yan, Lord Xu Ru." ”

Xu Ru, the lieutenant of the salt capital, stepped forward and grabbed Xie An's sleeve, turned back to his son and said, "Ling'er, I just thanked Xiao Engong Huan, why don't you come and thank Xiao Engong now?" ”

Huan Wen winked at Xie An with a "you know" expression.

Xu Ling looked at Xie An in place for a moment, and said excitedly: "Today, Xiao Langjun is dressed too gorgeously, I can't recognize it for a while, that day Xiao Langjun bravely greeted Shi Jilong, and shot the eyes of Shi Zhao's marksman Liu Zheng with an arrow in an ambush on ten sides, such a heroic feat really fascinated us!" ”

It turned out to be him, I almost forgot that this Xu Ling was robbed as a hostage by Luoxinglou that day, and in the end it was Huan Wen who rescued him, no wonder he looked a little familiar.

If he hadn't vaguely remembered Xu Ling's appearance, Xie An would still think that this person was found by Huan Wen, wouldn't it be too exaggerated to praise people like this?

"Xu Langjun is feeling better?" Xie An greeted politely, but found that the four seats were a little silent, originally everyone was discussing his poems and paintings, and there was a lot of noise, but at the moment it was quiet and terrifying.

On the main seat, Sima Yan got up suddenly, shook his sleeves and turned over a pot of wine, and he asked anxiously: "The person who shot Liu Zheng blind is actually Ahri?" ”

Xu Ling talked eloquently, "Back to the little lord, of course it is the Xie family Saburo, what I saw with Huan Fuzi on the river, someone shot the eyes of Shi Zhao's marksman Liu Zheng, and later General Xi's spies in the Haikou reported that the person who shot the arrow was San Lang!" It was dangerous! At first, we fled by boat together, but we didn't expect Shi Jilong to arrive, and Huan Fuzi fought with him for 300 rounds......"

Huan Wen blushed, coughed lightly, and said, "It's not that exaggerated, but there are always fifty rounds." ”

Xu Ling patted him on the shoulder and said: "Huan Fuzi doesn't have to be too humble, if you don't fight bravely, I'm afraid that my next life will be over but in the vast river...... Later, Shi Jilong arrested Xie Sanlang, and saw that San Lang was about to kill people and slaughter people, but he was not afraid at all, so that people were impressed, and at the same time, General Xi Mingdi, and the generals surrounded the people in the urn, but San Lang was still in the hands of the people, but when the people were slaughtered and General Xi fought in person, San Lang fired several arrows in the pavilion of the building, and the eyes of Liu Zheng, the main general of the people, were blinded......"

This product is like a storyteller, which makes people feel excited, and everyone immediately looks at Xi Jian to verify the facts after listening to it.

"It's true! Shi Zhao has Liu Zheng's wanted picture of San Lang from the Xiangguo Killer Post in Kyoto, but it is painted very well, not as good as San Lang's demeanor, and his exploits have been hidden from San Lang to protect him, after all, he destroyed Shi Zhao's fierce general. Now that Haikou is cleared, tonight happens to be able to tell San Lang's exploits, if Xu Duwei doesn't open his mouth, the old minister will also open his mouth to ask for a reward for him. ”

Xi Jian, who had been dumb for a long time, finally opened Chrysostom.
