Chapter Twenty-Six: Tsema Jiangdong (Part II)

Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This poem was written by Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years later, and now it comes out of the mouth of a gardener in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, making Xie An more sure of what he thinks in his heart, this person is the person the man in red said he wants to kill.

And this person must be related to Penglai Pavilion, but he shouldn't be the same soul piercing person as him, because after getting along all these years, he can't see that Du Huajiang has any behavioral characteristics of modern people thousands of years later.

It was too early to make a judgment, Xie An didn't want to cause trouble for no reason, so the two chatted a few more words before leaving, and at the same time made an appointment with Zhi Daolin to meet him tomorrow by the Vermilion Bird Bridge.

Leaving Jilong Mountain, I had to go to Cailantai to find out how much he had gained today, as soon as he entered Xikou City, he met Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan did not take a car, walked leisurely, seemed to be drunk, and was held by the housekeeper.

"Brother Yuan."

Xie An got out of the car to greet him, when Yuan Tan guessed Wang Xizhi's entry into the ranks, he guessed the "three grades", and he didn't know where he got such a big spirit and vision, and finally Xie An also asked the servants to give him a good breath, saying that he was also going to challenge Xi Fanghui, trying to see if he could enter the ink soul list, I don't know if he bet on it.

"Ahri!" Yuan Tan shouted, and then covered his mouth again, "You haven't returned home yet!" ”

Huan Wen's money was saved, and it was doubled several times, this time he finally had the money to dress up a few children in the family who were not taken care of by his brother, Xie An felt a little guilty, after all, Huan Wen left home to save him, and he would definitely come to the door in person in a few days.

Although the eldest brother Xie Yi and Yuan Tan take care of the Huan family, after all, they each have their own homes, and they can't be comprehensive, if Huan Yi comes back and doesn't see Huan Wen, Xie An hasn't thought of a good explanation.

Living in the Eastern Jin Dynasty for just six years, he had emotional bonds with many people, which made him gradually feel that he was really Xie An, the twenty years in his previous life were just a dream, and he could no longer be separated from Wuyi Lane and Jiankang.

Yuan Tan was very happy, because he won the money, of course, Yuan Tan would not say it bluntly, when the little group Ahri really grew up and entered the ink soul list in advance, although it was only the sixth grade, but by the age of sixteen, he would definitely be able to advance, and then he would be the ninth rank of the election official, with his reputation and talent, he would be better than Xie Shang's kid, after all, several young people have no heirs, and since he was a child, he watched Xie An grow up little by little, just like looking at his own children.

"I said at first that the boss is a talent, but Ahri is deeply hidden, I see you far away from the gambling table on weekdays, but the style of gambling is beginning to appear, that is, you have bet on yourself, how much money did you bet this time?"

Xie An smiled and said nothing, he didn't know how much money Shen Jin had bet, but his relationship with Shen Jin was always not easy to expose, so he had to lie: "Where did I get the money for a child, I just thought that Ah Wen's money would be miserable if I lost all of it, so I only told Brother Yuan alone." ”

"Alas, if it weren't for Renzu to stop you, Brother would have taught you gambling skills a long time ago, don't say anything else, when it comes to gambling, I am called the second among the children of the family, and no one dares to call it the first, but Huan Wen's kid will definitely fight with me with his own strength, and finally lose without pants."

Yuan Tan looked at the young man listening to him quietly, and rubbed Xie An's head, "Don't worry, Renzu and Huan Wen will both return safely." ”

"Well, we'll go on a horseback riding outing when the time comes."

Didn't meet Shen Jin, Yuan Tan sent Xie An home, as for how much money he won, I think there will be an answer soon, Xie An is a little tired today, and those things that are placed in the depths of his mind slowly surface, Guo Pu, Du Yu, Penglai Pavilion...... There is also Director Wang.

Physical and mental exhaustion hit, he returned home, and there were friends of his father and eldest brother waiting for him at home, no one thought that he just went to Qingyun Pagoda at the invitation of Xi Fanghui, and after he came back, he became the sixth grade of the ink soul list.

This is more glorious than being a six-rank official.

However, Xie An just wants to grow up safely as soon as possible, because he is too young and his physical strength alone cannot support too many thoughts, and he has a lot of things to do and think about by himself. In this night's dream, he dreamed that he was a chic chivalrous man in "Knight's Journey", and then he dreamed of the man in red in the cave of the East China Sea, and then he dreamed of Penglai Pavilion in the picture scroll, and finally he dreamed of horses, countless horses swept through the burning city, and the stars in the sky were so bright that they almost fell.

In the end, he dreamed that he had grown up, and he rode his horse to stop by the Yangtze River, looking at the north, and he said to countless people behind him: "We are going back to Luoyang." ”

……

When Xie An woke up on the second day, he was woken up by garlic, his bed seemed to have become a place for children to play, garlic Xie Lang stone climbed up, garlic took out a square towel to wipe his sweat, and said: "There are a lot of fragrant handkerchiefs in the third uncle's cabinet, which are better than garlic." ”

"Those are all Asu's, if you want to look good, I'll buy them for you." Xie An felt covered in sweat, but fortunately, after coming back, he bathed in herbs every night, and the sweat was a faint medicinal fragrance.

Chu Lianzi said with a smile: "Your Ah Su is talking to Ah Niang, the third uncle is going out of the city today, but he can't sleep anymore." ”

Xie An was still thinking about the things in the dream, dizzy, and reached out to scrape the garlic's nose, so that she didn't talk nonsense, the appearance of the little garlic adult, and Xie Lang bit his ear, "The third uncle is shy." ”

Shi didn't understand, and obediently helped the third brother tidy up the corners of his robe, Xie An picked up Xie Shi and said to him: "Shi Nu is a little fat, will the third brother take you to Zama in a few days?" ”

Xie Shi replied obediently: "Okay, Shi Nu wants to sleep with the third brother." ”

Xie Lang was a little reluctant, the third uncle used to sleep with him and tell him bedtime stories, but now the youngest child in the family has become the fifth uncle, he was left out in the cold, Xie An pinched his arm, "Soft, why didn't you learn swordsmanship from your father?" Although Daddy is addicted to pills, if you let him accompany you, he will not refuse. ”

The second brother Xie gave birth to a son named Xie Yun in five years, Yun'er has a Taoist relationship since she was a child, and was taken to the Taoist temple by her grandmother Sun to live. Speaking of which, my father and Sun rarely see each other a few times a year, this husband and wife are as thin as paper, and the second brother is not very close to his father, so there is a reason why my father has doted on Xie Wan and Jiao over the years.

Wang Xizhi said today that he would go with him to look for a horse with Zhi Daolin, and Xie An knew that she had been thinking about sweating and blood, which even Director Wang couldn't take. Wang Dao's second son, Wang Tian, also accompanied her, after all, it is always inconvenient for girls from the family to go out, fortunately, this is the Jin Dynasty where the etiquette of men and women is not too restricted, if Wang Xizhi wants to go anywhere, she can go as long as she takes the guard.

Xie Zhenshi and Wang Tian are talking, this young man has inherited Mrs. Lei's appearance, but his temperament is not like Wang Dao, he carries a sword with him, and he is dashing, while the white-haired Wang Biaozhi is lying at home resting, it is said that he rushed overnight, and there are a few more gray hairs.

It was still early, and the servant replied that Zhi Daolin's horse was already waiting at the mouth of Wuyi Alley, he had an unrestrained temperament, and he didn't waste any more time to visit, Xie An prepared his bags, changed into light clothes, and went out with Wang Tian and Wang Xizhi.

A few people naturally went to bid farewell to Xi Fanghui and Xi Xuan first, Xi Fanghui was not as strict as yesterday to Xie An, and he was angry when he thought about it.

Xi Xuan took Wang Xizhi's hand, and the two whispered a lot under the willow tree, Xie An thought, except for the Wen sisters who like to bully Wang Xizhi, she has no other female companions in Jiankang, although Xi Xuan is arrogant, but she is simply hearty, which is very compatible with Wang Xizhi's innocent and outspoken temperament.

In the end, the two girls said goodbye, and Xi Xuan also said that when the two of them grow up, the elder brother will definitely compete with her and be superior.

Xi Fanghui didn't talk to Wang Xizhi again, but smiled faintly at the girl when he got into the car, and then drove into the arms of Jiangnan Shanshui.

……

Xie An thought of going out of the city to the mountains, and couldn't help but ask Wang Xizhi, "Ah Su really wants to go out?" Yesterday consumed so much energy, today should be a good rest. ”

"Except for going out to look for geese, I haven't been out to play for a long time." Wang Xi looked like he wanted to go out, Wang Tian saw this, and simply said: "Anyway, Daddy is still in the West Garden, I will go to see him a few days later, so as to save myself from being nagged by my mother again, and Brother Ah Yan will be your coachman." ”

Wang Xizhi seemed to be thinking about something else, "Brother Ayan, Long Bo doesn't eat people, he has been in poor health recently, and since the death of his eldest brother, he has always touched the scene, if you are always by your side, he will scold you a few words, but he will not think about the eldest brother." ”

The eldest brother refers to Wang Yue, the eldest son of Wang Dao who died early, Wang Tian touched his sister's head, only to feel that this stupid girl is more and more like her wise and restrained father, Wang Kuang.

This time, Wang Kuang sent Wang Xizhi native products from the countryside, copied some books to her, and said that she would go back to Jiankang to see her on her birthday in the autumn, and the relationship between the two fathers and daughters has not become shallow because they have not met for many days, Xie An also saw Wang Kuang in his early years, and this elder was very surprised that his daughter with a strange temperament would make friends next door.

Wang Xizhi's mother died early, Wang Kuang did not continue even if he took a concubine and raised a concubine, and never gave her a younger brother or sister, he was an official in the countryside, managing the property of the Langya Wang family, Xuan Xiu and enlightenment, listening to the music of the family in his spare time, the concubine was the maid of Wang Xizhi's mother when she was alive, and he promised his wife that he would treat her well.

The middle-aged man, who is almost pure-hearted, is the most low-key but also light-hearted person in the Langya Wang family, because his property and money are almost equal to half of the income of the treasury controlled by Wang Dao.

Xie An also learned about this from Wang Xizhi's mouth in recent years, when Sima Rui, the founding emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was still the king of Langya, Wang Lang proposed a plan to cross the river, which shows that his thoughts are far-reaching.

Xie An is also riding a horse today, and the domestic servant picked a pony for him, and now Xie An's status in the family is second only to his father Xie Bao, because Xie Yi is not often at home, Xie is too lazy to take care of things, Xie has not yet returned, Jiao's is just the main internal affairs, no one stopped Xie An from going out for a while, and he would not let him abandon the horse and ride in an ox cart.

Wang Xizhi was not skilled in horseback riding, and they were afraid that she would be sunburned, so they let her sit in the carriage.

A few people will stop to rest for a moment when they encounter the post pavilion, for the sake of Xie An and Wang Xizhi's young age, Zhi Daolin remembered the horse painted by Xie An yesterday, and couldn't help but praise again: "San Lang's horse painting is very charming, and my horse garden will be built in the future, so you must draw a picture of the horses and hang it in the hall."

"Ahri paints everything as if it's alive." Wang Xizhi did not hesitate to praise, Xie An just liked her natural and frank personality, and praised in passing, "Brother Zhi's metaphysical insights are also very good, if you are friends with Ahri, it will be the best." ”

The horse breeder they are going to see on this trip lives in the eastern suburbs of the mountains, and there are many plains in the south of the Yangtze River, so the mountain will not be very high, but the development of the south of the Yangtze River is not yet complete, and many places are uninhabited.

However, when Xie An saw the hermit who raised horses, he couldn't think of him with the hermit cultivator at all, because this man in sackcloth looked very sloppy on the outside, in other words, "unruly", the patch of sackcloth was no different from a beggar, and when he saw the visitor, he also saw a life-saving straw and shouted: "Xiaolinzi came just in time, quickly help me make some food, this horse is full of grass, I am going to starve to death!"
