Chapter 013: Harmony
Xie Hanyun as the eldest daughter of the Xie family, this ceremony is naturally grand, as the head of the Xie family, Xie Jiqing not only invited the celebrities of Jiankang City and the wife to be the guest of honor, but also the Shen family of Wuxing County, the Taiyuan Wang family and the Qinghe Cui family have sent envoys to watch the ceremony.
The family temple of the sacrifice is built at the foot of a mountain near the Qinhuai River, which is also where the Xie family villa is located, called Qionglin Garden.
The green bamboo in the garden becomes a forest, the vines lead the vines, the strange flowers and plants wear the stone around the eaves, there are cliffs and big stones collapse and fly out in the distance, there are the majestic boulders of the green state in the near area, the green pine blows the eaves and the green waves, mixed with several pavilions and pavilions hidden in it, it can be said that the scenery of the world, all in this, look around under the eaves, the beauty is magnificent.
When Xie Ling arrived in front of the sacrificial family temple with his grandfather and grandmother, the guest and host were already in place, and they saw that in front of the vermilion temple, countless long-sleeved scholars gathered in front of the temple.
When Xie Ling followed Xie Jiqing into the family temple, many people set their eyes on her, after all, she hadn't stayed in Jiankang for five years, and she was only eight years old when she left the Xie family, and there were really not many people who could know her.
"I don't know who this Xiaolang is, I've been to the Xie family's banquet more than once or twice, and I don't seem to have seen this Xiaolang before?" One of them couldn't help but ask.
Xie Jiqing was about to make a grand introduction, but Xie Ling pulled down his sleeves steeply. Xie Jiqing turned around and saw his granddaughter shaking her head slightly, with a sincere light in her eyes.
Immediately, she saluted Lang Jun, who asked the question: "I am also a child of the Xie family, because of my weak body before, I rarely attended banquets, and it is normal that you don't know me." ”
"If you are weak, you won't participate in the banquet, aren't you afraid that you will be surrounded and killed like that Wei Shubao?" That Lang Jun smiled, and several Lang Jun sitting next to him also laughed, and after laughing, the man said, "This is just a joke, Xiao Lang Mo takes it to heart, since he is a disciple of the Xie family, we will have to learn more about the Xuandao scriptures in the future." ”
Xie Ling politely replied hello, but there was a cold light in his eyes, she naturally knew this Langjun who spoke sarcastically about her.
Leshan Hou Xiao Zhengze, and Xiao Zhengde are the sons of Xiao Hong, the king of Linchuan, these two people and the tide ditch Dong Shizi, the south bank of Xia Hou Hong can be called the four bullies of Jiankang, often rob and kill people at night, kidnap people's wives and daughters, and rely on the power of Xiao Zhengde Linhe King, even the emperor's favor, the government can't manage it at all, and dare not manage it.
The people of Jiankang are frightened of these people.
Unexpectedly, the Zhu family would invite such a person to visit the eldest sister's ceremony.
At this time, even Xie Zhang's eyes flashed a little displeased, because the visitor was a guest, and it was difficult to say anything, so he stretched out his hand to hold Xie Ling, and said softly: "Let's go, follow my grandmother to a quiet place." ”
Xiao Zhengze's face changed slightly, and he watched Xie Zhang's hand hold Xie Ling's hand and go away, and said secretly in his heart: I thought he was just an unfavored concubine in the Xie Mansion, but I didn't expect that he could be so valued by Old Madam Xie, what kind of person is this?
Here Xiao Zhengze was still pondering, Xie Jiqing had already walked up the steps, and said loudly: "All the gentlemen have arrived as promised, and Xie is very honored." ”
Greet the guests.
Immediately afterwards, there was music, and the praiser Xie Hanyan attended, and simply washed his hands with the water brought by the old woman, and stood aside.
Xie Hanyan is the daughter born to the Zhu family, ranked ninth in the Xie Mansion, and now Xie Hanyan is only ten years old, although he is wearing a double bun, wearing a brocade dress with light gauze and shawl, and the skirt with gold threads is spread on the ground like snow and clouds, but it sets off his demeanor and dust, floating like a fairy.
At this time, Xie Hanyun walked out with the support of two maidservants, at this time Xie Hanyun was wearing a white long-sleeved long jacket, not yet tied in a bun, her hair was half-pulled and half-hung like a waterfall, and a little cinnabar between her eyebrows, lining her snow-white skin was particularly bright.
As soon as she came out, many guests in the hall were stunned.
Xie Ling noticed that Xiao Zhengze and the two Lang Jun who were sitting with him stared at Xie Hanyun with straight eyes, and smiled as if they were about to overflow with saliva.
"Beautiful, so beautiful! is worthy of being the first lady in Jiankang, and the national color is also. That Xiao Zhengze sighed again and again.
Xia Houhong and Dong Xian beside him also echoed and marveled.
At this time, Xie Hanyun bowed down to all the guests present and said, "Thank you for coming to participate in Ah Yun's ceremony, Ah Yun is overjoyed." Then he knelt down on the futon specially prepared for the flute, and Xie Hanyan combed his hair.
Then Zhu attended, adding a flute to Xie Hanyun, and Yousi brought a gilded tray covered with a handkerchief.
Zhu sang the congratulatory speech according to the "Rites and Rites": "The auspicious day of the moon." The first Canadian dollar service. Abandon your ambitions. Shun Er Chengde. Shou Kao Weiqi. Jieer Jingfu. ”
"Ji Yue Lingchen. Naishon's suit. Respectfully. Socksander. Eyebrows live for 10,000 years. Forever blessed by Hu. ”
After singing, he combed Xie Hanyun's hair, then picked up the brocade handkerchief on the gilt plate, and took out a ruby inlaid hanging bead free gold hairpin and peony flowers, and was about to put it on for Xie Hanyun, but he heard a voice from the audience: "Wait-"
Zhu's heart was shocked, and the hand holding the hanging bead and free gold hairpin trembled slightly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was Xie Ling walking forward.
"Ah Ling, what are you doing here?" Zhu asked with a frown.
Xie Ling looked at Xie Hanyun with a smile and said: "My brother just thinks that although the peony is expensive, it is not enough to match the beauty of Sister, Sister Ace's ice muscle and jade bones, the national color is fragrant, and the wisdom of the heart is blue, and it should be paired with peony." ”
After that, she strode forward with a peony flower in her hand, and without saying anything, she snatched the ruby bead free gold hairpin from Zhu's hand, and smiled at Xie Hanyun: "Why don't you let my brother give Sister a hairpin flower and wear a hairpin, how about it?" ”
Xie Hanyun smiled and said angrily: "Naughty, how can a younger brother give a ceremony to his sister, and he doesn't give it to his mother quickly." ”
Xie Ling didn't force a discernment, smiled, and took out the hanging bead free gold hairpin from his sleeve again, and returned it to Zhu's hand.
"Then ask my mother to give a hairpin salute for my sister."
She smiled, said no more, walked down the stone steps again, and retreated to sit down beside Xie Zhang.
Zhu Shi was slightly stunned, not understanding why Xie Ling made so many moves? Is it just to show his casualness in front of all the guests, and do my own thing?
Although casual indulgence is a gesture of celebrity and mercial, not only will it not be regarded as unreasonable, but it is also quite respected by celebrities.
The Zhu family was still puzzled, but Old Madam Xie took in all of Xie Ling's actions, and there was a little strangeness in her eyes.
"Give the word, Jinyu."
At this time, Xie Jiqing slowly said these two words, Xie Hanyun looked stunned, she had obviously heard her grandfather mention it before, I wish her to be like a phoenix bird, and she will be beautiful and beautiful, obviously she wants to give her the word Zhaohua, why did she change it to Jinyu.
Xie Hanyun felt a little lost in his heart.
At this time, there are still people in the field who played the guqin, the sound of the piano is long, far and long, such as broken jade and gold in the clear time, and like pandan weeping dew when it sinks, mixed with endless feelings like ten thousand silk silk breezes.
"There is a beautiful woman who will never forget it. I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy. The phoenix soars, seeking the phoenix from all over the world. Helpless beauty, not on the east wall.
The piano will be used as a substitute for the language, and the conversation will be heartfelt. When I see Xu Xi one day, comfort me and wander. I am willing to match virtue and join hands. I shall not fly away, and I shall be destroyed. ”
Everyone looked over, but it was Xiao Zhengze who was playing a song of Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, and there was a maid beside him who played with the sound of the flute, and when the song was over, he walked in front of everyone, and made a very chic gesture to Xie Hanyun, and praised: "The lady of the Xie family is really the best among women, and her elegance is unparalleled, and she is really yearning." ”
"I don't know if this song can move the heart of the Xie family's wife, so that you have the opportunity to marry the Xie family's eldest lady as a housewife?"
After the match, it means that a man who likes can come to the door to ask for marriage, but I have never seen such a blunt direct proposal at the ceremony.
Xie Hanyun's face turned cold, and he didn't know how to answer.
At this time, Xie Ling came out and said: "Although the phoenix song is moving, but the story is not very beautiful, in the past, Sima Xiangru was like a beauty, although Zhuo Wenjun was married to his own hands, but the days to come are not very cherished.
My Xie family's wife does not marry an amorous person, dare to ask Leshanhou, can it be done: I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated? ”
Xiao Zhengze's face stiffened, don't say anything about wishing to win the heart of one person, the white head is not separated, there are not thousands of concubines in his house now, but also hundreds, for him, women are just a thing, now which man is not three wives and four concubines, what else do you want to win the heart of one person, Bai Shou is not separated, this is simply a joke!
However, thinking about it this way, Xiao Zhengze still replied with a very thick face: "As long as you can marry the eldest lady of the Xie family, let alone a heart of Ze, even a life of Ze, I am willing to give it." ”
When he said this, even Xia Houhong and Dong Xian on the side almost vomited.
Xie Ling smiled: "Really? Then please ask Leshan Hou to disperse all the 196 concubines in your mansion! If I'm not mistaken, among the one hundred and ninety-six concubines, sixty-seven are the daughters of a good family snatched by Leshanhou, yes? ”
As soon as she said this, there was an uproar of horror among the guests present.
Xiao Zhengze's face also changed drastically, and he felt embarrassed for the first time in front of everyone.
Although many people have been shocked by the Son of Heaven for those things he has done, no one has ever dared to come up with evidence, let alone accurately say the number of women he has robbed in front of so many famous men and scholars.
Sixty-seven? Even he didn't remember how many, how did she know?
Before he could react, he heard Xie Ling answer: "My grandfather gave the word Jinyu to the eldest sister, naturally he wanted Huai Jin to hold the jade, and only a person with high character can be worthy of my eldest sister, so Leshanhou, you better go back!" ”
What does this mean? Does it mean that he has a bad character?
"Who the hell are you? What does the Xie family's family have to do with you? What qualifications do you have to speak here? Xiao Zhengze, who was so angry that he couldn't bear it, couldn't help but shout.
"Xie Ling. Xie Hanyun's younger brother. Say, am I qualified to speak here? ”
Xiao Zhengze's face changed slightly:
"Xie Ling, you are the eldest son of the Xie family who was sent to Luofu Mountain to study art, Xie Ling?"
"Yes!"
Xiao Zhengze's face turned white, and he couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart, vaguely feeling that he seemed to have done something wrong.
He glanced at Xie Ling hatefully, and suddenly flicked his sleeves: "Let's go!" Called Xia Houhong and Dong Xian, and a group of servants and maids walked out of the garden quickly.
As soon as he came out of the garden gate, Xiao Zhenggang bumped into a person, looked up and saw the face of the visitor, he couldn't help but be frightened again, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Brother is reckless, he collided with His Royal Highness the Prince, I hope that the prince's cousin will forgive the punishment!" ”
