There is a green ox cart with black nan wood carved beams and painted buildings parked at the door of the jade shop, the coachman is sitting on the seat, holding the reins and pestle in his hand for a long time, the body is leaning against the side of the store entrance, Yin Luo is standing outside the window, and the curtain of the car window has been half opened, and it is Xiao Zhen who is sitting inside, he is the same as Yin Luo, looking towards the store.

"He's Xie Niangzi's brother?" Xiao Zhen's face was full of suspicion, and his words were even more incredulous.

Yin Luo pondered: "Listening to what he said, it must be." ”

Xiao Zhen frowned, and only said: "It's just ugly, why are you still so vulgar......"

When Yin Luo heard this, he couldn't help laughing, he looked sideways at Xiao Xun, and said in a low voice: "He doesn't look like the county lord of Hengyang at all." ”

Xiao Zhen seemed to be smiling, but he just breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said, "Let's go, go over and get to know each other." ”

Yin Luo immediately walked to the front of the throne, helped Xiao Zhen to the ground, and the master and servant walked to the store, and Xie Wei stretched out his hand and pointed at the shopkeeper, saying "You dare", because of this threatening word, the shopkeeper was so frightened that he lowered his head, and he was too timid to say more.

"How much is the forbidden step in the hands of this Lang Jun worth?"

Xiao Zhen held a folding fan in his hand, and as soon as he entered the door, he casually pointed to the forbidden step in Xie Wei's hand with the folding fan, You Xiao stood behind Xie Wei, followed the sound, and saw that it was Xiao Xun, he was instinctively stunned for a moment, and then he wanted to salute, Xiao Zhen's eyes turned to him, but he raised the folding fan, signaling that he didn't have to make a noise.

The shopkeeper raised his head, saw that the person who came was even more extravagant, and asked the price of the forbidden step, thinking that Xu Shi also fell in love with the baby, and he might be able to compete with Xie Wei for bidding, so he stretched out his hand and gestured five fingers, and said, "Five hundred taels." ”

At that time, Xie Wei also turned sideways to Xiao Chen, he was afraid that Xiao Zhen was here to steal the limelight, so he proudly glanced at Xiao Zhen from head to toe, and then sneered disdainfully.

Because he was Xie Zheng's brother, Xiao Zhen naturally didn't care, but just asked the shopkeeper: "This Lang Jun seems to have only paid fifty taels." ”

Before the shopkeeper could reply, Xie Wei grabbed the words and said angrily: "So what? Lao Tzu is willing! ”

You Xiao "chuckled" in his heart, and hurriedly pretended to clear his throat and coughed lightly twice as a reminder, but Xie Wei didn't get on the road!

Xiao Zhen and Xie Zheng have a lot of friendship, and they will need to rely on Xie Zheng everywhere in the future, so he endured it again, he only smiled faintly, and said: "It's better to be like this, the four hundred and fifty taels that this Lang Jun is paying less will be paid by Xiao." ”

Hearing this, everyone in the store was stunned, Xie Wei was surprised that this unknown person wanted to pay for him inexplicably, Yin Wei was slightly surprised how Xiao Zhen was so generous to Xie Wei, but the owner of the store was surprised that the person surnamed Xiao came.

"Yin Luo," Xiao Zhen called softly, Yin Luo came back to his senses, and immediately took out the money bag from his sleeve pocket, and took out two silver ingots, one large and one small, Xie Wei saw the bulging money bag and the white silver, and suddenly changed his face, and said with a flattering smile: "We don't know each other yet, how embarrassing is this." ”

As he spoke, his eyes never took off the silver, and it wasn't until Yin Luo put the silver on the desk that he withdrew his gaze, but he looked at Xiao Zhen from head to toe, with greed and delusion in his eyes.

When the shopkeeper learned that the person's surname was Xiao, he immediately became respectful, and now he received two cashiers, and hurriedly bowed to Xiao Zhen and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”

Xiao Zhen noticed that Xie Wei was looking at him, so he smiled at him sideways, then nodded again, and then turned around and walked out, Yin Luo followed behind.

When the master and servant walked outside the store, Xie Wei looked at the magnificent ox cart at the door, and knew that this person must be a powerful person in the court, so he hurriedly trotted out and called out with a smile: "Brother Tai!" Brother Tai stays! ”

Xiao Xun turned his head unhurriedly, he looked at Xie Wei, and asked very kindly, "What advice does Lang Jun have?" ”

"Brother Tai is in emergency, and the younger brother is grateful, but I don't know what Brother Tai is called?" Xie Wei is a rough man, and now when he speaks, he has also learned to be a literati, but he is literary.

Xiao Zhen smiled, he didn't say what his identity was, he only said implicitly: "In the Xiao family of Xialanling, the name is famous, and the word is Xuanyuan." ”

Xie Wei rolled his eyes, Xiao Zhen? Xiao Xuanyuan? This name, he seems to have heard it somewhere...... Before he could think about it, he hurriedly said, "My name is Xie Wei, and I was born in the Xie family." ”

When You Xiao heard him reply like this, his heart became anxious again, he wanted to remind him again, but after thinking about it, he gave up, this ...... I can't remind you of this!

And Xiao Zhen was also obviously stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "I know, you are... The elder brother of the lord of Hengyang. ”

"You...... Do you recognize my sister? Xie Wei knew that the Lang Jun named Xiao Zhen in front of him was a powerful person in the court, and he would definitely recognize Xie Zheng, but he had to ask more, Xiao Zhen smiled and said: "I don't just know it, I have a lot of friendship with Xie Niangzi, but I know each other, how can I ...... She didn't mention me to you? ”

"Uh...... She ......" Xie Wei was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer, You Xiao finally couldn't help it at this time, he sneered: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Xie Langjun and the county lord's brothers and sisters have reunited after a long absence, and they talk about family affairs on weekdays, and they have never mentioned official business. ”

Prince? Xie Wei was stunned, he looked back at You Xiao with a surprised face, and then he cowered and stretched out his hand to point at Xiao Xun, and said in surprise: "You, the original ...... It turns out that you are the crown prince! ”

"Eh," Xiao Xun erected the folded folding fan in front of Xie Wei, signaling him not to say more, he then glanced left and right, and then lowered his voice slightly, and said: "There are many people here, and it is inconvenient to chat, why don't you go to the cold house to gather?" ”

As soon as Xiao Xun finished speaking, Xie Wei couldn't wait to reply: "Okay, then let's go." ”

"Please," Xiao Zhen stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and politely invited Xie Wei to get in the car first, but he didn't expect Xie Wei to be really polite, and actually got in the car in front of him, Xiao Xun didn't say anything, and followed closely.

Yin Luo was still walking on the inside, and You Xiao saw the situation, so he immediately walked to the other side and followed the ox cart to the prince's mansion.

Xie Wei sat in the car with Xiao Zhen, all he thought about was how to tie up with Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zhen suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked: "Xie Langjun is a Huiji, I don't know why, there is a Northern Dynasty accent?" ”

"Although I am a Huiji, but a few years ago, because of a change in my family, I went to Anping County, Boling County (now Anping, Hebei) to join my grandfather's house.

"Oh, I see," Xiao Zhen nodded after consideration, and then he said: "I heard Xie Langjun say that my grandfather's family is in Anping County, Boling County, dare to ask Xie Langjun, my grandfather's family is the Boling Cui family?" ”

"Yes, it's the Boling Cui clan," Xie Wei said with his waist straight, as if he was very proud of his origin.

Xiao Zhen smiled and said, "I haven't heard this matter mentioned by Xie Niangzi. ”

Xie Wei didn't answer, but thought in his heart: Xie Zheng naturally wouldn't mention the matter of her grandfather's family to anyone, because she didn't know anything, she was an imposter at all!

The ox cart stopped in front of the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Xun got out of the car first, Xie Wei followed, and after getting out of the car, he saw at first glance that the inscription on the plaque above the door of the Prince's Mansion was gilded technology, and he was really happy.

"Inside, please," Xiao Zhen personally led the way, and walked into the mansion with Xie Wei, Xie Wei roughly glanced at the courtyard, which was spacious and clear, and saw that it was much larger than the Hou Mansion.

"Come, this way," on the left hand side is Xuanyuan, Xiao Xun turned to Xuanyuan, and was about to lead Xie Wei into the garden, but Xie Wei suddenly stopped, he stood outside the arch of the garden, looked up at the stone plaque inscription "Xuanyuan", pointed and said: "Jade Garden? Is the word 'jade' written wrongly? ”

When Xiao Zhen heard this, he was slightly stunned, looked at Xie Wei with a surprised face, and suddenly smiled, and then glanced at Yin Luo, Yin Luo also looked at him and smiled, Xiao Zhen then turned his head to look at Xie Wei, and said with a smile: "Yes, it was written wrong." ”

Speaking of which, this garden should indeed be called "Jade Garden", this stone plaque is the inscription of Duan Hengzhou, a staff member of the house, how could he drink two taels of wine that day, and the inscription was wrong, so Xie Wei was not wrong.

But the word "Xuan" also has a separate word, not non-existent, people come here, see the two words on the stone plaque, it should be read as "Xuanyuan", not "Jade Garden", just like Xie Zhengchu came back here, but this Xie Wei read it as "Jade Garden", Xiao Zhen is really suspicious.

Imagine that Xie Wei is such a Langjun from the scholar clan, no matter how bastard he is, he will not be illiterate...... What's more, Xie Zheng is very smart, and her brother is not too bad.

Xiao Zhen did not correct the pronunciation of the word "Xuan", but only let Xie Wei go, and then he said: "The staff of the house are drunk and confused, and the question is wrong. ”

A group of people walked into the garden with their front and back feet, You Xiao followed behind Xie Wei, and when he entered the garden, he raised his head and looked at the stone plaque more, the word "Xuan" is rare, he was a rough man, although he had read some books, but he couldn't recognize these rare words, although he didn't know the word "Xuan", but he also knew in his heart, how could there be a typo on the plaque?

So "Xuan" is "Xuan", "jade" is "jade", this time Xie Wei is not just a fool, but a revealing filling!

You Xiao was sad in his heart, lest Xie Wei would show his stuff again, but he was helpless......

Xiao Zhen led Xie Wei into the garden, and did not shy away from taking him into his study, he invited Xie Wei to take a seat, and then instructed Yin Luo to serve tea, but he did not sit down himself, but walked to the bookshelf by the wall, and seemed to be casual but actually deliberately picked out a painting.

He held the front end of the scroll in one hand and the end of the scroll in the other, opened it slightly and glanced at it, confirmed that he had the right painting, glanced back at Xie Wei, and then walked towards him and called out with a smile: "Xie Langjun." ”

Xie Wei raised his head, Xiao Zhen walked in front of him, then opened the scroll in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Xie Langjun, do you know who the seven people on this painting are?" ”

Painting on the seven sons, in the bamboo forest, most of them are bare-chested and breast-exposed, open-minded and uninhibited, drinking and stroking, or lofty, or arrogant, or frivolous, or wandering, the demeanor is different, but they are all like living people jumping on the paper, the brushwork can be called superior, there is the wind of "Gu Lu".

Just looking at these seven sons and the bamboo forest, those who have some ink in their stomachs should have guessed the identities of these seven people, but Xie Wei didn't know, he looked at the portrait, and then looked at Xiao Xun, and said with a smile: "How do I know this." ”

This painting is horizontal, on the far right side of the painting, clearly and clearly written "Statue of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" five big characters, even if Xie Wei does not know who is on the painting, seeing these five words, it is time to answer, You Xiao sighed again.

Listening to Xie Wei's words, Xiao Zhen suddenly seemed to understand something, he didn't say it, but just gave Yin Luo a look, Yin Luo understood, and immediately came over, took one end of the scroll from his hand, and held one side with him.

"Xie Langjun is confused, why don't you even know the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest," Xiao Zhen said Xie Wei as if jokingly, and then introduced him from left to right: "Ji Kang waved the five strings in his hand, and his eyes returned to Hong; Ruan's alcoholic addiction can howl; Shantao drank until he was drunk; Wang Rong sat bare-legged and danced as he wished; Xiang Xiu closed his eyes and leaned against the tree, contemplating the mysteries; Liu Ling is a drunkard and drunk; Ruan Xian rolled up his sleeves and plucked Ruan, enjoying himself. ”

Xie Wei was very embarrassed, and couldn't stop nodding in response, Xiao Zhen then said: "This painting, originally from Gu Changkang's hand, came to be lonely and had nothing to do, and copied one, what does Xie Langjun think of the lonely painter?" ”

"Good! Very good! Xie Wei praised it, but he didn't know how to pretend to understand.

Xiao Zhen rolled up the painting and said modestly: "Xie Langjun praised it." ”

The two sat in the study, chatting for a while, until the day was prosperous, Xie Wei said goodbye to Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zhen also sent him to the door of the house, and saw him go away from You Xiao, so he glanced at Yin Luo, and said to himself: "My sister is very smart and talented, but my brother is an illiterate straw bag, interesting, really interesting!" ”

When Xie Wei and You Xiao returned to the Hou Mansion, it was time for lunch in the house, and the two went straight to the side hall in the front yard.

"Brother is back," Xie Zheng saw Xie Wei coming back, and said casually, she glanced sideways at You Xiao, only to see You Xiao frowning and shaking his head at her, she knew that something was wrong, so she quietly put down her chopsticks, got up and said, "I'm full, brother use it slowly." ”

Xie Zheng was walking back to the backyard and asked, "Say, is Xie Wei causing trouble outside again?" ”

You Xiao replied: "He ran to Huang's jade shop, took fifty taels of silver to buy a forbidden step worth five hundred taels, and ran rampant everywhere in the name of Xie Niangzi, bullying the people, and was bumped into by the prince, the prince reported his home, he actually didn't know, went to the prince's mansion to drink tea, pointed to the garden and said that it was called 'Jade Garden', and said that it was a typo, the prince took the "Statue of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", and asked him if he knew who was on the painting, he said he didn't know, and it was written next to the "Statue of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", and he actually said that he didn't know! ”

Xie Zheng was already displeased when she heard that Xie Wei was bullying, and when she learned that Xie Wei was ugly, she was even more annoyed, and she was faintly uneasy in her heart, she stopped at the gate of the courtyard, stopped, and thought: "Could it be that he ...... Illiterate? ”

"Presumably so," You Xiao nodded, Xie Zheng frowned, she looked back at You Xiao, and said worriedly: "Wouldn't that make the prince suspicious?" ”

You Xiao said bluntly: "It's better for the lady to send him away, he stays here, stabs Lou Zi everywhere, and ruins the good reputation of the lady, and he also shows his feet in front of the prince, and his subordinates are only afraid that if he stays any longer, sooner or later his identity will be revealed." ”

Xie Zheng took a deep breath, spit out a long breath, and said: "I can't rush him away now, otherwise I will be weak-hearted, and I have to think of a way to get this matter over." ”
