Chapter Thirty-Seven: Honoring the Teacher's Name: Xie Ruyuan
Xie Heng received Liang Yuchen's greeting yesterday, but he was surprised, although he had heard of this Liang Yuchen, he entered the palace at the age of eighteen and became the first musician in the Ming Dynasty.
Although he is a musician, he is not one of those sinners in the teaching department, and he is very favored in the etiquette department of the five grades, and the legend is that he was later promoted to the etiquette department, but I don't know why it didn't happen.
It is said that if he is guilty or falls out of favor, he will not be safe and sound and still at ease in his original position, it is rumored that he is obsessed with music and law, and he does not want to be entangled in mundane affairs, that is, he does what he does in his office, and he has never wanted to compete for fame and fortune.
I don't know if these rumors are true or not, but Xie Heng is quite respectful in his heart, and he never thought that this person would come to this remote land of Bashu and go to Xie Yuan, the two have never intersected, and they don't know why there will be such behavior.
If he just wants to be a bosom friend, he Xie Heng knows that he is afraid that he may not be able to get into the eyes of Liang Langzhong, but since he is here, he will open the door as a guest to receive him, so why think about it.
Originally, Rong Xiaoxing just came to see Liang Yuchen today, and he didn't talk about dressing up, so he casually wore a coarse coat and came, and now he was pulled by Liang Yuchen to go to Xie Yuan, and he felt that it was not very suitable:
"Brother Liang, look at my coarse clothes, how to go to meet the master, I'm afraid it's rude, or I'll go back first, and I'll come back when you come back."
Liang Yuchen didn't say a word, dragged him into the carriage:
"It's not a young lady to meet, and it's still dressed, so where would Master Xie care about these subsections, don't talk nonsense." Rong Xiaoxing smiled helplessly, and had to be pulled into the carriage by Liang Yuchen.
Rong Xiaoxing is now the commander of the Zhengsanpin who is stationed in the Jiangxi Buzheng Division, and the Rong family is a businessman, doing silk weaving and spinning business, but he is a military attaché.
However, under the influence of his family since he was a child, although he is a military attaché, chic but not vulgar, if he is not a familiar person, seeing him wearing regular clothes, he would never have imagined that he would be a military attache command history.
When he arrived at the gate of Xie Garden, he saw the carriage of the Li family parked at the gate of the garden, Li Tang was standing next to the carriage and watching, and when he saw Liang Yuchen's carriage coming, he ran forward happily.
Liang Yuchen smiled:
"Xiao Tang'er is really early." After speaking, he introduced Rong Xiaoxing and the Li family brothers and sisters, and several people entered Xie Garden together.
Li Tang didn't know what the relationship between Liang Yuchen and Xie Heng was, and she didn't want to ask too much, but it was not etiquette for her and Li Yu to go together at the moment, and when they arrived at the intermediate court, they said:
"Brother Liang Sheng, we won't go in, just wait for you outside."
Liang Yuchen didn't say much, so he followed his subordinates into the backyard with Rong Xiaoxing, and Li Tang and Li Yu watched the young students practice in the middle courtyard.
She often comes to Xie Yuan now, even if she doesn't go to the back of this courtyard, Xie Heng will not blame her.
It is said that people who are not familiar with it can't enter Xie Heng's backyard, but Liang Yuchen is different, according to the line, they belong to the same family, so they didn't see the dislike of those laymen, so today they set up a table in the backyard to wait for Liang Yuchen.
Xie Heng is wearing a caryophyllum white Suluo yarn today, faintly revealing the snow-white shirt inside, and there is also a sense of brightness under the bright sun.
Seeing the next person leading the two into the garden, although they had never seen it, they knew at a glance that the person in the cobble-egg green silk robe was Liang Yuchen, and it was probably the feeling of the same kind of people.
As for the man in the pine flower robe next to Liang Yuchen, he didn't know who it was, although his face was a little sharp, but it was not cold, and there was a little smile on his lips, but his face was kind.
Liang Yuchen and Rong Xiaoxing stepped forward, and the three of them saluted each other:
"I have heard Master Xie's reputation for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today."
Kind words, who doesn't know a few words, Xie Heng continued:
"Where, Liang Langzhong is my first musician in the Ming Dynasty, and coming to the Humble House today is really brilliant."
After speaking, both of them laughed, and Liang Yuchen introduced the two of them:
"This is Rong Xiaoxing, a friend of Xia Zhi."
Rong Xiaoxing arched his hand:
"I have heard that the master is famous." Suddenly, Xie Heng's heart felt as if he had been knocked by a drumstick, and there was a muffled sound, and he was immediately stunned in the distance.
Rong Xiaoxing, Rong family, heh... Xie Heng sneered in his heart, it has been almost twenty years, how did the Rong family come back to Chongning, he was almost forgotten, and he never thought that he would see him again in such a scene today.
The two of them saw Xie Heng stunned, a little confused, but they didn't want to ask too much, Rong Xiaoxing saw this Xie Heng, and it was rumored that he was extremely arrogant and didn't look at anyone in his eyes, but when he saw it today, it was not true.
I think maybe it's because of Liang Yuchen, not only that, but he inexplicably felt some affection for this Master Xie, it was really strange, at this time, seeing Xie Heng was stunned when he heard his name, thinking about a person like him, why was he so rude, he felt even more strange.
When Xie Heng came back to his senses, put away his thoughts of flying around, and led the two of them to their seats, although his face was back to normal, his hands were slightly clenched, looking at Rong Xiaoxing, his heart was already a sea of clouds churning, and the waves were stormy.
Poured tea for the two, and there were some delicate pastries and fruits on the table, in addition to the arrival of the diplomatic servant, Liang Yuchen put the sandalwood box that he had been holding in his hand on the table and pushed it to Xie Heng's eyes.
"This is something that my teacher entrusted me to hand over."
Xie Heng was recalled by his actions, temporarily stabilized his mind, and looked at Liang Yuchen with some puzzlement, not to mention that he had never seen Liang Yuchen, the teacher in his mouth, let alone who it was, how could he ask him to transfer things to himself.
Liang Yuchen saw that he was puzzled, and the corners of his lips hung high and said:
"Respect the teacher's name: Xie Ruyuan."
Hearing this, Xie Heng's eyes suddenly opened, it turned out to be Master! Since Xie Ruyuan left his brothers and sisters ten years ago and traveled abroad, there has been no news of him for many years.
After Chongning settled down, he would go back to the mountain every month and leave a letter, just hoping that Xie Ruyuan would return to the mountain one day, so that he could know the news of him and Xie Bai to find him.
But I never thought that ten years have passed, and the letters on the mountain are piling up, but Xie Ruyuan has never heard from him, and today he finally waited, but in this way.
Xie Heng opened the sandalwood box with some trembling eyes, and there were two letters inside, one was: Heng'er personally opened, the other was: Bai'er personally opened, and there was a thin book. Xie Heng ignored the fact that he still had guests in front of him, and eagerly took his letter and opened it.
There is nothing important in the letter, only that over the years, he has traveled to the places he has traveled, and the letter also said that Liang Yuchen is what he met when he traveled to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and formed a master-apprentice relationship, and he has been taken care of by Liang Yuchen for many years.
Now that he knew that he was going to Chongning, he asked him to bring a letter to tell him that everything was fine, and told him not to read it.
In addition, Ji Kang's "Guangling Stop" hand-annotated book, knowing that he has been thinking about it for many years, and now he has found it and brought it together, although he doesn't know whether it's true or not, but he has studied it carefully, and it really has seven or eight points.
Looking at the letter and the book "Guangling Stops", Xie Heng choked his throat and felt sore in his eyes, his teacher always remembered this, how could he be virtuous, and let the master remember it like this.
That year, Xie Bai wanted to join the army, Xie Heng was already sixteen, Xie Ruyuan didn't want to be the bond between the two of them, so he quit the two of them to travel far away, so that they had no worries, and at the beginning of the second year, he met Liang Yuchen who came back from Chongning in Zhejiang.
At that time, Liang Yuchen's family was changed and collapsed, and although his father was able to correct his name, he was no longer there, and he drank and stroked the piano in the restaurant all day long, or rested everywhere in the wilderness, drinking and playing the flute.
Liang Yuchen's talent for music and rhythm, Xie Ruyuan also appreciated it, but if it wasn't for Xie Ruyuan's attention later, he wouldn't have been able to reach today's realm.
That day, Xie Ruyuan met Liang Yuchen in the suburbs, and saw him lose his soul and blow the flute, and his voice was sad, so he accosted him and relieved the confusion in his heart, and then Liang Yuchen knelt down to Xie Ruyuan and regarded him as a teacher.
Liang Yuchen's real name is Zhou Sheng, his father Zhou Zhixin, once supervised the imperial history, his life was honest and upright, known as "cold face and cold iron", when he went to Zhejiang, he was framed by a traitor, and died unjustly in prison.
His mother's surname is Liang, he took the pseudonym Liang Sheng when he was in Chongning, and he also took refuge in Chongning to meet Li Tang in the year, and then the letter from home learned that it was ordinary, he hurried back, but he could only kneel in front of his father's spiritual seat and cry bitterly.
After that, he was drunk and frustrated every day, but fortunately met Xie Ruyuan and woke him up; After changing his name to Liang Yuchen and entering the palace, he wanted to see why the decisive Supreme King caused his father to die with hatred.
Later, when he saw the king, Shengming was really there, and he wanted to come to the king's authority not to be violated, and his father was angry at that time to kill him, so he gradually gave up the hatred in his heart, and he had no intention of being an official, so he was idle and only drilled the rhythm to comfort the pain of losing his relatives.
Seeing Xie Heng holding the letter sadly, Liang Yuchen often heard the master mention his two sons, saying that this youngest son Xie Heng is also proficient in music and rhythm and has unique insights, if the two of them have the opportunity to meet, they can also be a person of pity.
Now although he brought a letter, but I don't know where Xie Ruyuan will travel to, before leaving Xie Ruyuan entrusted him to bring a letter, and he was ready to embark on a new journey, he asked Xie Ruyuan, why not go back to Chongning to meet them, Xie Ruyuan only said:
"I can still walk, so I will go out for a walk more, so that the two of them can rest assured, and when I can't walk, I will return to Chongning, and my soul will return to my hometown, and I will always bury this dry bone in Chongning."
Xie Ruyuan said that his two sons, although they are not biological, are the most filial piety, but Liang Yuchen doesn't know why he has never started a family in his life, respect the past teacher, and naturally can't ask more questions as an apprentice.
Before leaving, he and Xie Ruyuan drank and said goodbye, he laughed and said:
"Master, you have three sons, don't worry, we will provide for you."
Xie Ruyuan also smiled and toasted with him:
"I am also a blessed man, and I have these three sons, and this life will not be in vain."
Xie Heng put down the letter in his hand, looked at Liang Yuchen, who was also immersed in the past, and asked:
"Master, he's in good health."
Liang Yuchen played with a peach in his hand, listened to Xie Heng ask, and replied:
"Master is very good, his body and bones are as strong as when I first met, you don't need to worry."
Xie Heng blinked and skimmed off the little water in his eyes, and took the teacup:
"I haven't heard from Master all these years, thank you Senior Brother Liang for bringing Master's letter today, and thank you Senior Brother Liang for taking care of Master in these years."
The literati love wine and also like tea, this time replacing wine with tea, Liang Yuchen put down the peach and picked up the teacup:
"You and I are both in vain, as we should be."
After speaking, the two drank the tea in the cup together. Xie Heng thought that today was really a rare day, he got Xie Ruyuan's letter, and he also met the people of the Rong family, who was still his eldest brother, and he really didn't know how to sigh.
After saying these words, Xie Heng recruited his subordinates and asked the two brothers and sisters of the Li family who were waiting in the middle courtyard to come to the backyard, and said to Liang Yuchen that they would drink with him until night today.
