"It's just that it takes some time to think about it, and if it's decided, I'm not a procrastinator." Shi Yiguang followed behind Zixi, his face was faint, but his voice was gentle.
Zixi nodded, smiled kindly, and asked again: "Then this time Mr. came to live outside the mansion as before, or did he settle in another courtyard in the mansion?" โ
Shi Yiguang walked behind Zixi, thought for a while, and then replied: "Just live outside the mansion as before." โ
Hearing this, Zixi nodded, and didn't say anything else.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and they had already walked outside the lobby of the mansion.
Shi Yiguang remembered that the last time Mr. Changqing came to Ling Yin's mansion, Zixi received him here.
After sitting down, he first served tea, and then bowed to the guest gift, Zixi gave jade and was regarded as a guest.
Shi Yiguang first talked to Zixi about learning, and discussed etiquette and the way of government. Because every sentence was said to Zixi's heart, after talking about it, he admired and respected Shi Yiguang and his family.
In fact, Shi Yiguang can just speak. It must be said that the depth of connotation may be due to the fact that I have memorized many books. For celebrities, the holy words are also readily available. Let your words listen to the ears of others, but it is more profound and knowledgeable.
After a long time, as soon as noon was over, a servant came up to call for food.
Set up a small banquet for lunch and have a drink with Mr., this is the rule that Yin Zixi has always had when he receives guests. As a sign of respect for Mr. Menke.
Moving to the dining hall, there is a banquet in the hall, and the tables lined up in the hall are empty. The banquet is not big, only the top chapter of the table, and the next table next to it, there are fish and meat delicacies.
In the winter of the previous year, when she followed Mr. Changqing into this hall, she was driven out by the slaves guarding the door, so she met Duan Shuyu, who had nothing to do.
Shi Yiguang followed Yin Zixi to sit down, the two of them saluted first, and when they were cleaning their hands, when they were about to start the banquet, the slaves guarding the door were all bowed, and Xiong Chao came.
Zixi's hand was paused as he was washing. He took the Jinpa handed by Fengcun on the side, wiped his hands, and looked at the door silently.
There were only two doormen standing at the door.
He handed the Jinpa in his hand to Fengcun and said slowly, "Let him in." โ
"No." Feng Cun responded, handed the brocade handkerchief in his hand to the slave who was kneeling next to his head and bowed his ears, got up and walked to the door, and then leaned sideways, facing the invisible side of the door, and said softly: "Second son, my lord is invited." โ
Xiong Chao, who was standing on the side of the door, heard this, crossed the wind village, and walked towards the house. Shi Yiguang, who was sitting in the house, turned his head to look at Xiong Chao who walked in.
Wind Village followed behind and was about to come in, when suddenly a doorman who came in a hurry stood next to Wind Village, tiptoed, leaned into Wind Village's ear, covered it with his palm, and whispered something.
Xiong Chao, who walked into the hall, glanced at Shi Yiguang, and then bowed his head to Zixi, who was sitting above: "Father." Then he turned his head again, looked at Shi Yiguang, and leaned over to salute respectfully.
Shi Yiguang sat on his desk, straightened his body, and returned a salute.
"What?" Zi Xixun sat behind his case, looked at Xiong Chao, and asked out loud.
"I heard that Mr. Bingwen has entered the house, and I came to see him." Xiong Chao said, standing still.
Shi Yiguang's name in the past was the gentleman of the Xiong Dynasty who performed the teacher-student ceremony. Disciples, teachers, and respects for their fathers are all respected by those who pay tribute today.
Hearing this, Zixi nodded. Then he raised his hand and pointed to the table next to Shi Yiguang's head: "Set up another table." โ
Anyway, it's a small banquet to welcome guests, and there is nothing wrong with having one more student to accompany you. And this student is still the son of Ling Yin.
Outside the house, Wind Village listened to the slave's words, turned his head to look out of the courtyard, and then walked into the house, and was walking towards Zixi, who was sitting above.
He knelt next to Zixi and whispered a few words, Zixi heard this, first raised his eyebrows, and then turned his head to Fengcun and said, "Go and invite in." โ
Xiong Chao had already walked to the table next to Shi Yiguang and sat down, wanting to come over and say something, but Shi Yiguang turned his head and glanced at him, with a warning look in his eyes, which made Xiong Chao turn around again, pouted, and said no more.
After Fengcun walked out, Zixi got up and walked outside to stand.
Seeing this, although he didn't know who it was, Xiong Chao also stood up and walked to the door.
Shi Yiguang is a guest, and the host has stood up to greet people, and she has no reason to sit. So he also stood up, walked to the courtyard, and stood behind Zixi.
After a while, Fengcun led a person in. The man was followed by a number of servants.
As soon as Xiong Chao looked at the person, his face, which was still happy, suddenly sank, and muttered, "Why is he here!" โ
Zixi turned his head and glared at Xiong Chao, who pursed his lips and said no more.
Seeing Xiong Zhang coming over, Shi Yiguang also frowned, but did not say much.
Zixi led the people to the bottom of the stairs of the courtyard and looked at the visitors. Shi Yiguang and Xiong Chao behind him both bowed down and said respectfully: "I've seen the prince." โ
Xiong Zhang did not return the salute, but stood in front of Zixi, his face was cold, he first saluted Zixi, and said, "My lord." โ
Zixi also leaned over and saluted back, then got up and looked at Xiong Zhang who came over: "Zhang'er, why are you here?" โ
Xiong Zhang has no official position, nor does he have a title. And Ling Yin is his own imperial uncle, and it is Ling Yin who holds the power of Chu **.
In terms of respect and humility, Xiong Zhang was educated by Ling Yin when he was a child, and Zixi was also his teacher.
Hearing this, Xiong Zhang took half a step to the side, and the servant behind him took half a step forward, holding the scroll in his hand, hanging his head and not speaking.
Xiong Zhang's gaze quickly swept over Shi Yiguang behind Zixi, and surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he looked back at Zixi and said: "This is the book that my father collected from the Qi Kingdom, and I was going to send it directly to the adult, but because I was greedy for reading, I asked my father for instructions, read it first, and then sent it to the adult's house in person." โ
When Zixi heard this, he turned his head to signal, and Feng Mura on the side stepped forward to take the scroll in the slave's hand and stepped back.
Zixi looked at Xiong Zhang, said hello, and then walked towards the hall. As he walked, he said, "Just send a palace person to send it, why don't you come in person." โ
Xiong Zhang followed behind Zixi, walked into the hall, and replied: "I promised my father, so naturally I can't break my promise." โ
When Zixi heard this, he smiled with relief on his face, he turned his head, glanced at Xiong Zhang, and laughed loudly: "Zhang'er, you have grown up, and your temperament is getting better and better." โ
Even though he heard Zixi's praise, Xiong Zhang's face was no longer happy, and he only replied coldly but politely: "My lord is too famous." โ
