Xie Yan said seriously: "Well, it's a good comb." ”

praised it, but there was no reward, waiting for her to disappear automatically, how could there be such a master?

Cai Tang retreated with a sneer.

At this time, the accommodation was almost arranged, so Xie Yan took Hagi Niang out of the carriage and walked towards the temple.

The house slaves of the Xie family only thought that Haginiang was Xie Yan's maid, although they were a little blind, but seeing her follow behind Xie Jiaerlang step by step, naturally no one came to trouble her.

At this time, the masters of the Xie family gathered in the side hall, and the female dependents were led by Xie An's wife Liu to rest in the apse.

It has not been long since the scholars moved south, so this Qixia Mountain, which is not far from Jiankang, has not been very famous, and the temple at the foot of the mountain is not gorgeous, it looks very dilapidated, but it can barely be regarded as having an eaves to shelter from the wind and rain. However, although the whole family fled and seemed to be out of the house, or living in a rude temple, the expressions on the faces of the Xie family were not flustered and cramped, and the juniors sat beside Xie An around the brazier in twos and threes.

Xie An has been the prime minister for 16 years, but the descendants of the Xie family are not prosperous, most of Xie An's own brothers and sisters have died, and the only living is his younger brother Xie Shi, Xie Shi is serving as Shang Shuling in the court, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty official system, this is a beautiful difference with no real power, but very rich and idle. Since Xie Shi had already separated from Xie An, Xie An's Northern Expedition did not bring Xie Shi's family this time.

Xie An's eldest son Xie Yao died early, and his sister-in-law Xie Tang was already fourteen years old, Xie Tang's appearance inherited the Xie family's consistent outstanding beauty. The person he admired most since he was a child was his grandfather Xie An, and his manners and movements unconsciously imitated him, at this time he also knelt beside Xie An, learning from him to play the lyre, although he was still young, and he couldn't compose music intermittently, but that calm and comfortable posture had the style of Ji Kang Ruan, a great musician.

There were also two nephews of the Xie family in the house, fifteen-year-old Xie Yu and his younger brother Xie Shu were watching Xie Yu play intently, their father Xie Yun was the internal history of Xuancheng, but he died before he lived past thirty. At that time, the Shi clan loved to take cold food powder, which was very popular in the two Jin Dynasty, equivalent to the current drug, and taking it was a symbol of the noble status of the Shi clan. Obviously, this is one of the reasons why the celebrities and scholars died early at that time, the scientific name of Hanshisan is "Wushi San", which is made of stone stalactites, purple quartz, white quartz, stone sulfur, red stone lipid five-flavor stone medicine, from this chemical composition we know that most of this thing can not be digested when eaten, which will cause chronic poisoning and damage to the body.

Although he was also raised by Xie An, Xie Yu's ambition is not as good as Xie An, but more like his uncle Xie Xuan, he likes martial arts, loves to read the art of war, and is also a rare general of the Xie family.

Xie Yan walked into the side hall, respectfully greeted his father, sat next to Xie Tang again, and praised him with satisfaction: "Listening from afar, I thought that my father was tuning the strings, but I didn't want this piano to be in your hands, the sound of the piano can show people's hearts the most, and your broad-mindedness is really not inferior to your father." “

Xie Tang's face was flushed by his praise, after all, he was still young, and he was by his relatives' side, so his happy expression was completely revealed, and he handed the piano to Xie Yan very embarrassed, and said, "Uncle is making fun of him again, so you should play a song." He whispered, "Grandfather doesn't seem to be in a good mood." ”

Xie Yan took over his father's favorite guqin, it is said that this is Sima Xiangru played the famous piano "Luqi" of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" back then, and there is an inscription "Tongzi Hejing" in the piano, the timbre is quiet and far-reaching, ethereal as nothing.

He thought about it sideways, tried a few notes and began to play, playing the most ordinary, almost every pianist will play the famous song "Mountains and Flowing Water", the front note is elegant, the charm is long, the melody is constantly spiraling upward, as if people are immersive, as if they are looking up slowly from the foot of the mountain, and like incarnating as a bird, walking through the ups and downs of the mountains among the clouds, high and low, feeling the majesty of the high mountain; Then the style of the song turns, the back tune is fresh and smart, jumping out of the rapid, such as the endless rippling mountain spring, and I seem to be standing by the water, wanting to use my hands to keep this ruthless and sad flowing water, but the flowers will still bloom next year, and the flowing water will not turn back, that abrupt and joyful feeling.

Xie Yan wanted to dwell the joy of mountains and rivers in it, and after the song was played, everyone who heard it sighed, and everyone was silent for a while.

Zi said: "The wise man is happy with the water, and the benevolent man is happy with the mountain." Xie An is the one who was born smart and has a benevolent character, so he naturally loves this song very much, he is an open-minded person, but he is a little disappointed when he sees that the Xie family is a little down. This time, as soon as he was enlightened by his son, he couldn't help laughing and laughing at himself: "Yan'er, I even have a time when I am cocooned and self-bound." ”

Xie An took the piano in Xie Yan's hand and played the song "Mountains and Flowing Water" exactly the same, but the mountain is higher, the water is farther, the song is born from the heart, and the beautiful sound of the piano shows his broad mind and long-term vision. It is because he has let go of the distractions of these mundane things and really calmed down.

Xie Yan was happy to see that his father had returned to normal, his smiling appearance was even more ethereal against the firelight, Xie Yan and the other children of the Xie family were very happy, and the family was leisurely in the predicament, and even the house slaves who accompanied him couldn't help but feel very relieved when they saw it. These men of the Xie family can really be called "Zhilan Yushu".

Xie An smiled warmly at his beloved son, but found that under the light of the fire, the face of the woman behind Xie Yan who had a relationship with him was illuminated. He looked sideways for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Yan'er, ...... you" It's just that there are many domestic slaves around, and there are ignorant children, so he didn't continue to ask, just nodded slightly at Xie Yan, signaling him to talk later.

Hagi Niang heard Xie Yan's piano sound for the first time, although she had heard of his "beautiful demeanor, talent and debate" comments before, but she always thought that it was because of Xie An, and most people in the world deliberately flattered and praised him. At this time, she personally appreciated his piano skills, and found that under his fame, Xie Yan could indeed afford these praises, and his talent was not inferior to his beauty.

How can there be such a perfect person in the world? It's like a prince in a fairy tale, so perfect that you can't believe it. Her admiring eyes lingered on Xie Yan.
