Chapter Twenty-Five: An Amazing Song

"Got it, let's go down." Wen Tinghao waved his hand, and the little soldier ran away in small steps.

"Then you young people talk, I'll leave first if I have something." Then nodded towards Xie Bai:

"I'm looking forward to your performance on the battlefield." Xie Bai was very excited:

"Yes, General."

"You take the two of you to get acquainted with the affairs of the army." This kind of preferential treatment, where is the ordinary recruit should have?

Hearing the song and saluting: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Then Wen Tinghao strode away. Wen Ge saw that his father was far away, so he turned around and whispered:

"My dad is really strange today, if this is usual, my dad won't be able to get out without training us a few times."

Looking at his exaggerated expression, Xie Bai retorted:

"Nonsense, I think the general is very kind and mighty?"

Xie Heng was also curious: "I look at the general and have a very kind face, why do you say that?" ”

Wen Ge attached a more exaggerated expression to the next moment:

"What? Friendly? Familiar? Hurriedly raised his sleeves and pretended to wipe in front of Xie Heng's eyes:

"Xie Heng, are your eyes gray?"

Xie Heng waved his hand to block Wen Ge's hand:

"I'll tell you the truth."

Seeing that Wenge was still arguing, Xie Bai hurriedly grabbed him:

"General Wen, aren't you going to take me to familiarize yourself with the affairs of the army?"

"Ah, yes, yes, let's go." In this way, the three became friends in Chongning. It's the Dragon Boat Festival in a blink of an eye.

In the tenth year of Yongle, the emperor's grace was vast, and the Beijing master issued an edict of amnesty, and the whole world celebrated.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival in Chengdu Prefecture, boating and cruising the lake, eating Baiwei dumplings, drinking realgar wine, embroidering medicine sachets, is very lively.

But Xie Heng is about to say goodbye to Xie Bai in Chongning, this night, thousands of candles, lantern lanterns hung high, the two of them ordered wine and food on the second floor of Hongfu Building by the window, the red light outside the window lattice shook gently, the crowd of people in the bustling night, the second floor was also full, and the table was lively and lively.

Xie Heng pinched the thumb-sized white porcelain cup, and the brown and yellow medicinal wine in the cup had a faint medicinal fragrance; A shallow bite, not spicy.

"Heng'er, you can't drink too much of this wine." Xie Bai was concentrating on dismantling the palm leaf rope of the zongzi, and took the time to raise his head to remind him.

"I know, senior brother, just this one." Xie Heng put down the wine glass, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a few chopsticks at random.

After removing the brown rope and opening the dumpling leaves, Xie Bai proudly handed it to him: "I've seen it, pine nuts, eat it." ”

The dish caught in the bamboo chopsticks in Xie Heng's hand fell back into the plate, and a drop of water suddenly fell from the Yiye Lake in his heart, and with a bang, ripples appeared, and one by one teased in his heart.

He loves to eat pine nuts, but every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, no matter what stuffing he eats, he never shows anything, but in recent years, he has eaten pine nuts, and he also said that it was a coincidence.

Some stiffly reached out and took it, holding the zongzi in his hand:

"Thank you, brother." The throat is tight, and I can't open my mouth anymore.

"Silly, eat it."

Take a bite of the zongzi, soft and glutinous and fragrant, and the pine nuts are still a little crispy, Xie Heng is a person who is not good at expression, but he is also greedy for such a texture and taste.

The reason why he knew that Master likes to eat walnuts and Senior Brother likes to eat bean paste and meat is because they said it, and he remembered it, every time he asked him during the Dragon Boat Festival, he only said that it was okay, how did Xie Bai know that he liked to eat pine nuts.

Wen Ge had dinner at home, and Xing hurriedly took a string of zongzi and went out, and let people drive the carriage towards the inn where the Xie brothers stayed.

Ran to the inn, only to find that the two were not there, asked the shop Xiaoer, only to know that the two went to eat, he had just had dinner, and now he is worried about disturbing people to eat, impolite, but he doesn't want to run this trip in vain, so Zhaodian Xiaoer put on a pot of tea and waited in the hall.

When Xie Heng and the two came back from eating and strolling around slowly, it was already an hour later, and the two of them entered the inn and were a little surprised to see Wen Ge in the hall, Wen Ge poured a stomach of tea, and was already a little groggy waiting, and when they saw the two coming back, they hurriedly got up and waved their hands:

"Brother Xie, Xie Heng."

The two stepped forward, and when they heard the song, they hurriedly beckoned Xiao Er to tea: "Come on, come and sit down." As he spoke, he pulled Xie Heng to sit aside, and Xie Bai sat on the other side of Xie Heng.

Xie Heng was a little strange:

"General Wen came to the inn for something?"

"No, I'm here to bring you zongzi." Then he pushed a string of rice dumplings on the table in front of him.

Xie Heng choked...

"It's... General Wen is so polite, I bother you to make a trip in person, we have been at the inn for a long time. It was Xie Bai who spoke.

Although he waited for a long time, Wen Ge did not feel any displeasure in his heart, and happily replied to Xie Bai's words:

"Brother Xie, you are polite, you are out, I should take care of you more, and when you leave for the army next month, there will be only you and me."

After speaking, he turned his head and asked Xie Heng:

"By the way, Xie Heng, are you going back to the mountain?"

Xie Heng felt that Wen Ge was really good at talking, so he put down the teacup and responded to him:

"I'm not going back."

Hearing him say this, Wen Ge immediately became interested:

"Oh, that's good, stay in the city, Brother Xie and I will be able to see you when we go back to the city in the future, it's not wartime, maybe we can come back in the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Xie Heng didn't understand why he was always so happy, so he just responded to him lightly: "Hmm." ”

Seeing that he always looked indifferent, Wen Ge hurriedly took down two zongzi and handed them to them:

"Taste it, my mother made it herself, it's delicious." Wen Ge's mother accompanied her all the way from Beijing to Chongning, which was the last stop, but fortunately, the saint was sympathetic and gave the Wen family a mansion in Chongning.

Seeing that he was so enthusiastic, the two who had just eaten a full meal couldn't eat it anymore, but it was not easy to refute his kindness, so they had to reach out and take it.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the scorching sun began to scorch the ground harder, and today there is a Yashi Friends Association in Chengdu Mansion, gathered in the thatched hall. Xie Heng got up early in the morning, bathed in the room, and sat quietly in the bathtub to meditate.

The master has lived in seclusion for many years, and now seeing that the two of them have grown up, in order to let them have nothing to worry about, he went to travel alone, saying that it was to find medicine and alchemy;

Senior brother is a martial artist, Qimen Dunjia Five Elements Technique, and his ambition is on the battlefield, but he can't go with him, the southwest is full of gunsmoke, and the war is about to break out, and I don't know how often he can come back, he can only stay in Chongning.

The warm water in the bucket has dissipated, and at this moment there is a knock on the door:

"Heng'er, are you alright? I went downstairs when I heard the song. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, I heard that Xie Heng was going to play at the grass hall friends meeting, so I shouted to go with him, and rushed over early this morning.

After thinking about it, Xie Heng found that the water temperature had cooled, and he hurriedly got up and dressed:

"I'll be fine right away, senior brother, you go down first."

Changed into the new clothes that Xie Bai bought for him yesterday, which was still plain white, wiped his hands, and carefully put the Ziye Qin Mofeng left by the master into the brocade bag, and then carried the qin out of the room, Xie Bai waited for Xie Heng with Wenge in the hall on the first floor.

A white shirt is light and neat, the scarf feet are resting on the back, Shi is down, it is clearly a vigorous and steady step, the body is slightly slender but the posture is upright, the face is calm and there seems to be a smile in the eyes, not to mention the otherworldly, but it is really a bit of dusty and elegant, so that the two people who are waiting look up and smile but forget to take it back.

Ignoring the distractions of the two, they walked up to the table and sat down, put Mofeng on the table, and poured a cup of tea with a pot:

"I've kept Senior Brother and General Wen waiting for a long time." Only then did the two of them recover.

Xie Bai picked up the teacup and said nothing, but he smiled even more happily when he heard the song:

"Xie Heng, you look so good when you walk." Good-looking, the most genuine praise but not a little other.

Xie Heng smiled: "Thank you for the general's praise, eat breakfast, and you will have to accompany me later." Xie Bai accompanied him, but Wenge came on his own initiative, and he also thanked him.

The early morning of summer is mild, not yet occupied by the scorching sun, the morning sun is thick and mild, but the green clouds are covered, and the light has not yet shone;

The three of them walked together, and when they arrived at the thatched cottage, there were already literati who came one after another, handed over the invitation to enter the garden, and the three of them did not have an invitation and did not enter the garden.

There was a square stone table under the shade of the tree in front of the thatched cottage, and Xie Bai patted Xie Heng's shoulder: "Go!" ”

The sixteen-year-old's experience is blank, but there is no timidity in his eyes, there is Xie Bai's encouragement, Wenge's expectation, and his own firmness, holding the piano to the stone table and putting it down, sitting on the stone bench, last night's cold penetrated the thin shirt and made the body seem to wake up.

Carefully took off the brocade bag, stroked the strings and did not move, he knew that Xie Bai and Wenge were waiting for him, and the surrounding literati were also curious, and the literati gathered today were all literati and scholars who were a little famous in the entire Chengdu Mansion, many of whom had left for Chongning a month or two ago, just to participate in today's thatched cottage event.

He is still young, he has never been famous, no one has invited him, and no one knows him, but when he looks at the clear and elegant bones, he can feel that he has a shocking momentum.

The post manager at the door noticed the three people from the beginning, thinking that it was a guest who entered the park, but when he arrived at the door, he did not come, he has been secretly looking, at this time there are more and more guests entering the park, and they began to line up to check the post.

Someone turned his head and found a young man in white under the shade of the tree, pressing the strings with both hands but not playing, Chengdu Mansion is very large, and Chongning City is not small, but the famous scholars are known in the circle of literati, but this one in front of him has never been seen, let alone so young.

When everyone's curiosity was aroused to the top, Xie Heng raised his head, opened his slightly closed eyes, wiped the strings with his fingertips, lightly hooked and picked, and his ten fingers flew over...

In this warm morning of the light sun, I heard the drizzle and the breeze, flying down, through the clouds and fog, and the majestic mountains are all at the feet...

All the noise in front of the cottage was gone, and the literati in the garden were startled by the sound of the piano, some closed their eyes to listen, and some rushed out of the garden to the door to watch and listen.

Before the tea was over, the sound of the piano slowly stopped under the ten fingers, and the last syllable dispersed into the forest, but the people sank in the open realm, lingering in the intestines, and the invitation in the hand of the steward still maintained the appearance when the scribe handed it to him, and he had long forgotten to check it.

Wen Ge was the first to wake up among the fascinated people and began to applaud, and the surrounding literati came back to their senses and rushed forward all of a sudden, surrounding Xie Heng, and the reserved of the literati was left behind after being amazed at this moment:

"Childe, dare to ask the surname Gao?"

"Oh my God, the Divine Comedy has reappeared!"

"Master, where did you come from?"

"Young man, how about we go to the garden and talk together?"

More good people asked, "What is the young man this year?" Can you marry a ......? ”
