Chapter 21: Chen
Chan
Xie Qinglin had a meal with Xu Guanhai here, he sat on the main seat, and Xu Guanhai sat on his right. Xie Qinglin was always indifferent to his sycophancy, and he didn't even give him a look.
The scene was extremely embarrassing for a while.
There were only the two of them and two maids who poured wine and served on the table, and set up a square table with black lacquer Pengya, and there was a faint shadow behind the carved screen of Huanghuali, which turned out to be a singer holding a pipa and singing.
I only heard that "since the farewell, the mountains are faint, and the water is sparkling." I saw the willows flying, and I was drunk on the peach blossoms (1). ”
Xie Qinglin listened attentively, and unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table and beat the beat.
Xu Guanhai's eyes rolled, thinking that this singer had entered his eyes, and he was suddenly happy in his heart.
What Xie Qinglin was thinking about was that he invited him over but talked about useless nonsense, rather than listening to him and wasting his tongue, it was better to listen to a little song.
This woman's singing voice is tactful, her sentences are affectionate, and the lyrics are even more wonderful. I heard her continue to sing, "I'm afraid that the dusk will be dusk and dusk, and if you don't lose your soul, how can you not lose your soul." The new cry marks crush the old cry marks, and the broken intestine person remembers the broken intestine person. (2) "I wrote the lovesickness very lingeringly."
But he interrupted his thoughts without a long eye, "My lord, if you like Miss Xiangyin's music, you can ask her to come out for a while, what do you think?" Xu Guanhai smiled all over his face, and his already small eyes seemed to be squeezed out.
Xie Qinglin finally looked at him squarely, and said casually: "That's not necessary, the official just thinks that the lyrics are not bad......"
Then he turned his head and asked the woman, "Did you write that word yourself?" ”
The sound of the pipa in the screen stopped, and the voice of Xiangyin Qingyue came out: "The adult is in love, this is Mr. Qianqiu's words, I used it to compose a tune, it is the honor of the little girl to be able to win the hearts of adults." ”
"I see." Xie Qinglin only said this sentence and then stopped writing, reverting to his plain appearance.
Xu Guanhai had no choice but to give up, and the pipa minor key sounded again.
After a while, Xiangyin hugged the pipa and whispered goodbye, and the maid who served quietly withdrew.
So Xie Qinglin knew that he was going to say something useful, so his expression was no longer so lazy, and he turned his back away from the chair a little and sat up straighter.
Sure enough, the smile on Xu Guanhai's face disappeared, his brows tightened, and a pair of bright little eyes stared at him.
Xie Qinglin looked back at him calmly, with a hint of a smile on his lips.
Let's see who can't hold their breath first.
In the end, it was Xu Guanhai who was defeated first, and grinned bitterly: "Doesn't Lord Xie really understand what Xia Guan means?" ”
Before Xie Qinglin could respond, he continued: "Lord Xie has already taken on an important position at a young age, and he must have experienced great hardships, but don't put your future on the line for the sake of a momentary whim." ”
To tell the truth, Xie Qinglin served as a messenger, and he really didn't climb up step by step, and he didn't know that he had experienced a lot of hardships, anyway, what kind of identity he wanted to pretend to be, it was just a matter of words.
However, he was very curious about where this mere governor came from to threaten him.
"Xu Zhizhou is polite, but I don't bother you if the road ahead is Qingyun or Rolling Stone."
Xu Guanhai was stunned, he had never seen such an ignorant person, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "Xiaguan is also a painstaking person, I'm afraid that you will provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked." ”
Xie Qinglin was curious about who the "person he shouldn't mess with" was, although neither of them said it clearly, but he had already made a guess in his heart.
"Please also ask Lord Xu to make it clear."
Xu Guanhai was almost angry with him, and I don't know if he really didn't understand or pretended, he had been up and down in the sea for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen such a dull person. No wonder, he had been indifferent to his threats openly and covertly, so he was waiting for him here.
He barely caught his breath.
He took a few deep breaths, dipped his fingers in the wine when he calmed down, and drew a few drawings on the table.
Xie Qinglin could see it clearly, it was a "Chen" character.
In an instant, his brain was like lightning, and he suddenly understood the hints in Lizhou.
But this is really no wonder of him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lived in the East Palace for a long time, and he is still shallow in the world, and he has indeed never linked the powerful Chen family in the capital with a small Zhizhou in Lizhou, south of the Yangtze River.
The ancestor of the Chen family once followed Taizu to fight the world and was knighted. Speaking of the heroes who were crowned at the founding of the country, only the descendants of the Chen family have survived to the present.
During this period, he experienced a trough and was suppressed by a certain emperor, but after all, he was lucky to survive until now, compared to the other three, it is not easy.
The wisdom of their family is evident from this.
In this generation, the Chen family has successively produced a general of the Zhenguo, a household secretary and a noble concubine, and has restored its power as the sky, and no one in the court can plunder its edge.
The emperor is already old, and he doesn't want to bother to clean up this mess anymore, so he can only leave him to his heir.
Xie Qinglin knew that the Chen family would be the first problem after he ascended the throne, but he didn't expect that they would spread the net so widely......
