Xiao Zhengze took the letter, opened it, and his face quickly darkened.

"Is it rumored that Jiankang City is now rumored that the Xie family's Xie Ling has the heart of Lan Zhi in his mouth, and there is no lack of righteousness?"

"Yes, yes, they all said that it was Hou Ye who helped Xie Jialangjun become famous, if it weren't for Hou Ye's song of the phoenix, how could there be Xie Jialangjun's beautiful words about His Royal Highness the Prince."

The servant thought that these words were extremely good, and greatly satisfied the vanity of his family's vassal, and before he could raise his head, he was greeted by a cold light that was like an ice blade cutting through five feet.

"Waiting for the ......"

The servant trembled for some reason, and after an eerie silence, he heard a sentence that he did not understand until death:

"Pull it out and cut it!"

Before he could shout for mercy, he was dragged out by the two subordinates, and when he reacted, his head fell to the ground with a pain in his neck, and blood was spilled on the ground.

"Oh, who is this that made our little Hou Ye angry, the blood of this slave is filthy, how can there be a beauty's blood that is pleasing to the eye, don't wash it away quickly, so as not to stain the eyes of the little Hou Ye."

"Yes, yes."

The servants replied yes, and quickly brought clean water and washed away the blood stained on the ground, and as for the body of the slave, a roll of straw mats still went to the messy post to feed the dogs.

Those who said this were two Lang Jun in brocade clothes who were walking towards Leshan Houfu.

These two people are Dong Xian, the son of Chaogou Anlehou, and Xia Houhong, the son of Xiahou Kui on the south bank, who are Xiao Zhengze's friends and the second of the four bullies of Jiankang.

As soon as the two of them walked into the hall, they saw Xiao Zhengze's solemn face puffing up, and hurriedly leaned over and laughed: "Isn't it just a slave?" Is it also worth Xiao Houye to be so angry? ”

Xiao Zhengze showed the letter given by the slave in front of the two of them, and there was something written in front of the letter, which they had no patience to read, but the last sentence was particularly eye-catching:

Thank you for making a name for me!

The signature is exactly: Xie Ling!

Where is he thanking him for making a name for him, but he is sarcastically mocking him for being dirty and scolding him for being dirty!

What a Xie Ling, he dared to provoke Ben Hou!

"Oh, what am I supposed to be! It turns out that Xiao Hou Ye is still angry about the Xie family's daughter and the matter at the ceremony, isn't it Xie Ling? Let's just find an opportunity to kill him, anyway, even if this matter goes to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not blame Xiao Houye. ”

"You said it easily, and I don't want to think about who this Xie Ling is?"

"The eldest son of the Xie family! This Chenjun Xie clan is not as good as before, it has long been the afterglow of the sunset, the brocade Xie Wei back then, the reputation was so loud, in the end, it was not for the King of Shi'an to be killed on a charge, what can the Xie family do? Do you dare to redress your grievances? They don't dare, they will only find a way to clear the relationship and keep their last family afterglow and connections.

As long as this way of killing people is appropriate, we are not afraid that the Xie family will dare to seek revenge, maybe not only will they not seek revenge, but they will simply ignore it! Isn't it, Dong Shizi? ”

Xia Houhong said as he squeezed his eyebrows and laughed at Dong Xian on the side.

Dong Xian also laughed and said: "That's right, the Xie family has long been in the afterglow of the sunset, one is in charge of the army, and the other is no one in charge of the center, what are we afraid of them doing?" He Xie Ling was the Xie family's treasure tree when he was alive, and if he died, it was not bullshit, a big family would not bother in vain for a dead person, Hou Ye, you think about the noble appearance of the eldest daughter of the Xie family. ”

Being able to play with these noble noble daughters in the palm of their hands and watch them cry for their pain is something that these nouveau riche families often fantasize about and take pleasure in.

Xiao Zhengze's mind also began to think about it, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes, but then he seemed to think of something: "But my eldest brother wants to ......"

Na Xia Houhong said again: "Little Hou Ye, I have a trick here to help Xiao Hou Ye." Do you want to hear it? ”

"What's the solution?"

Xia Houhong whispered in his ear, and after speaking, he smiled,

After listening to the clever plan, Xiao Zhengze's original hesitant heart instantly became iron, and finally slapped the case and said with a final word:

"Okay, that's it!"

……

The next day, Xie Ling received a letter from the Leshan Houfu.

In order to celebrate the return of Xie Ling, Xie Zhang's family specially chose an elegant and quiet place near the mountains and rivers to set up a long banquet of winding water, and all the children and concubines of the clan were gathered here, one was to contact feelings, and the other was also to let Xie Ling know some of the children of the clan.

Naturally, Xie Zhang's move was also to confirm the identity of Xie Ling's eldest son in front of many clansmen, after all, Xie Ling had not returned for five years, and the person who could know her was Liao Liao.

There are a large number of people in the big clans, and there are not a few children of the same clan who have never met in their lives, and there are only a few dozen people who have an impression of these clansmen in their lives, and half of these dozens of people either died in the war or died young for various reasons.

Xie Ling was most impressed by her clan Xie Yanyang, Xie Yanyang's branch was after Xie Zhuang, and the heirs were more single than Xie Jiqing's branch.

Xie Ju only has two sons-in-law, one is Xie Xi and the other is Xie Yi, but it is a pity that Xie Xi in the previous life died young because of the brother and sister of Princess Changle.

But because of this, Xie Ju treats her as his own, no different from his father, Xie Ju's painting skills in the previous life are excellent, especially good at flowers and birds, good at writing, Jiang Zuo's reputation as "painting a product", most of her painting skills are also learned by him, and he has to teach him personally.

Seeing that Xie Ling had been staring at him intently, Xie Ju twisted his long beard, and made no sound, Shi Shiran walked up to her and said with a smile: "Ah Ling doesn't know me anymore, or is there something on his uncle's face that makes Ah Ling look so serious?" ”

Xie Ling hurriedly got up and saluted, and said, "Uncle." In her heart, she wanted to cry sadly, when she fled with her clansmen in her previous life, Xie Ju was seriously ill and couldn't afford to collapse.

In the end, he only said to her: "After all, the roots of our Xie family are here, where can we escape, my uncle is already a dying person, so let my uncle stay here, Hou Jing resents our Xie family, and he always has to find someone to vent his anger, so let my uncle vent his anger!" ”

Seeing that there were tears in her eyes, Xie Ju smiled again and said, "Ah Ling, what's wrong?" Uncle remembered that you didn't cry when you were a child! ”

"Father, don't make fun of the fifth brother anymore, count it up, the fifth brother is only thirteen years old this year, even if he is crying, it is also a true temperament, there is a so-called love bell, it is my generation!" At this time, Xie Xi answered.

"Hahaha...... Good sentence, the love of the bell, it is my generation, not bad, the saint is affectionate and not tired, my Xie children are so reckless, how can they be lost for those mundane things. ”

Hearing this, Xie Ling couldn't help but feel a little bit of kinship in his heart: their Xie family is advocating this kind of frank and honest old hermit style, and they are not good at intrigue in the court, so many people die in the political whirlpool!

"What does it mean that a saint is affectionate and not tired?"

Suddenly, a childish and crisp voice interrupted Xie Ling's thoughts, and a little boy with a comb of horns ran in front of her, giggling and saying, "Brother, do you know? ”

Xie Ling's eyes were completely devoted to this boy, this was the last hope of the Xie family left behind by her desperate protection in her previous life.

The son of her third uncle, Xie Zhen.

The current Xie Zhen is only five years old, and he is at the age of the chief horn and is innocent.

"The saint is affectionate and not tired, that is to say, the saint also has seven emotions and six desires, whether it is sadness or happiness, it is the body's instinctive reaction, everything is natural, that is to say, we don't have to restrain ourselves too much, we can cry when we want to cry, laugh when we want to laugh, eat when we want to eat, and sleep when we want to sleep."

Xie Ling deliberately added the last two sentences, and while he was happy in his heart, he couldn't help but rub Xiao Xie Zhenhong's face, which made the little boy laugh.

"Brother, it turns out that you are so kind and funny, yesterday Sister Jiu also told me that Brother is arrogant and not easy to approach! It turned out that he lied to me. ”

When Xiao Xie Zhen said this, Xie Hanyan, who was sitting in the banquet, turned red all of a sudden, and Zhu Shi's face turned purple with embarrassment, and he couldn't wait to cover Xiao Xie Zhen's mouth, but he didn't even dare to move in front of everyone.

Xie Zhang's face also darkened instantly, and it was not good to have a seizure on the spot, so he quickly dispersed the banquet, and after those brothers and daughters-in-law were gone, he summoned Zhu and Xie Hanyan and said, "Jiu Niang, who taught you to chew the root of your tongue?" ”

"Ah Jia, Jiu Niang is still young and ignorant, she may have said this because she saw that Ah Ling was not close to her, and she was a little sad in her heart." Zhu Shi hurriedly explained.

"Ten years old, still young, her words not only slandered Ah Ling, but also taught her younger brother Ah Zhen, what is my Xie family motto, ask her to recite it for me."

Zhu Shi hurriedly pushed Xie Hanyan, and Xie Hanyan said with tears and grievances: "Filial piety to parents, friends and brothers, respect for elders, and neighbors, peace and industry, Ming academics, still diligent and thrifty, Ming tendency, cautious marriage, diligent sacrifices, cautious friends, patience, and cessation of doting." ”

After Xie Hanyan finished reciting, Xie Zhangshi looked at Zhu again and said sharply: "You can recite it for me too!" ”

"Me?" Zhu's face immediately showed embarrassment and surprise.

Xie Zhang said unceremoniously: "Yes." ”

Zhu's face suddenly burned like a cloud, and he suddenly felt ashamed, but he still couldn't withstand Xie Zhang's cold gaze, and repeated that sentence again, and when he said the last three words "quit doting", his heart jumped suddenly, and he saw Xie Zhang's staring at her with a warning gaze.

"Yes, Ah Jia, the son-in-law understands."

"Understood, let's take Jiuniang to practice calligraphy and sharpen your mind!"

"Yes."

Zhu Shi had a white face, and hurriedly pulled Xie Hanyan away, and rushed towards his Qiushui Pavilion.

After everyone dispersed, Xie Zhang took Xie Ling's hand again and said softly: "Ah Ling, if you have any grievances, you must tell your grandmother, and your grandmother will definitely seek justice for you." ”

Xie Ling nodded tearfully: "Yes, grandmother." ”

At this moment, Steward Zhou, who was in charge of the house, hurriedly ran over and handed over a letter: "Old lady, Wulangjun, someone sent this letter, saying that it was for Wulangjun. ”
