Emperor Chu's illness recovered slightly, and the court was relieved, and the emperor ordered that on June 15, a palace was held to appease people's hearts, and officials above the fourth rank brought their families into the palace.

Xie Yun Xie Ling is the second grade, the fourth grade, are on the list of banquets, the palace came to bring the message, Xie Sister Yan, the twilight is sinking, although Hezhou is only given the second grade jade belt, there is no real job, but His Majesty is gracious, specially invited a few young people into the palace, to participate in the palace Yan.

After thanking him, the people in the palace hurriedly went back to his life.

Sister Yan and the others stood in the main hall for a while, and it was already stormy when they went out.

The Bai family doesn't know the joints, since the whole family is going to enter the palace, the preparations up and down must also be made in advance, so as not to be rude from time to time.

"Second sister-in-law, there are still three days, don't worry, today is Yu'er's birthday, let's be happy, and the preparations will be talked about tomorrow." ”

Looking at his daughter, who was much more cheerful today, Bai nodded, "Okay, it's almost dark now, your brother and they are coming back, let's go and light the lights first." ”

Xie Yu grabbed Bai's hand with his right hand, "Let's go." ”

Walking around, I saw a slight crisp sound from the bell on my waist, and He Zhou glanced at it quietly, feeling inexplicably happy.

Xie Mansion is not particularly large, but it is also one of the best high-ranking households in Beijing, with nine-song corridors and pavilions.

At the sound of the order, the servants and maids hurriedly took action, first lighting the lantern of the Imperial Palace hanging on the gate.

Then the house lit up one by one, the lake, the rockery also hung all kinds of lanterns, corridors, pavilions are naturally needless to say, light veils, the light softly through, the water lamp gently swayed with the sparkling waves.

Behind the rockery, there are bursts of elegant music, delicate flowers, in the light of the convergence of half a minute, it seems soft, all kinds of fresh fruit cakes, has been placed.

Although it was a junior's birthday banquet, the families who got the news naturally did not sit idly by, and sent many juniors to congratulate them, Xie Yu greeted the guests with the Bai family, and took advantage of the fact that the guests had just entered, puffed out his cheeks, and whispered, "Daddy, why haven't they come back yet, it's not fun to welcome guests at all." ”

"Wait, it should be soon. ”

Although Sister Yan's surname is Xie, she is still a guest in Xie Yun's mansion after all, and she can't deal with guests for Xie Yu, at most, she only helps entertain in the mansion.

It's a pity that Sister Xie's reputation is too strong, and she will do it if she doesn't agree with her, but few dare to approach it easily, and some world friends are just that, she has been used to it since she was a child, and if she doesn't dare to provoke, she won't be provoked, and the obedient ones will not be beaten, and the others, just say hello and go to the yard to watch the play and watch the scenery.

Sister Yan is also happy, and she is too lazy to deal with them, so she drinks tea by herself, which is good.

"Tsk, tell me, you can't be so powerful in the future, you see that everyone doesn't dare to approach you. ”

Sister Yan raised her eyes and glanced at He Zhou, "Don't you think it's good to keep these troubles away from you? Why do I have to smile at them, I don't know them well." ”

He Zhou pouted, "No wonder, you are also a big beauty, and you don't even have an admirer." ”

Tian Shen glanced at him coldly, and said unhappily, "It's good to ignore people who don't know him, if you smile at him, they will get an inch, admirers such a thing, do you think Ah Yan will need it?"

"Alas, don't be so serious, if she treats you coldly, you don't think so, how many of these people want to come and close, they are all scared by her. ”

"Ah Yan won't be cold to me, so I can't feel their mood, it has nothing to do with me, besides, Ah Yan didn't do anything, they were scared, and they didn't deserve Ah Yan's smile. ”

"Stop, stop, I'm just afraid of trouble, don't talk about me. ”

"Tsk, I'm still lazy. ”

As he was talking, someone dared to come over without fear of death, "Xie Jiaoxi, Dusk Jiaoxi, He Jiaoxi." ”

"Zhang Ling. ”

Zhang Ling is also a son of a family in the capital, the son of General Longpai, who studied in the Guozijian Martial Arts Academy, is diligent and studious, and his sister Yan also likes this student very much.

"Don't ask us to teach elsewhere, just juniors. ”

These days of contact, Zhang Ling can be regarded as knowing the three of them, and he admires them very much, although he is the son of a general, he has not killed an enemy or a bad person, and they, have relied on their own strength, hoe the strong to help the weak, and relieve the people, although it looks difficult to get along, in fact, they are just too lazy to spend energy here, making friends depends on fate, not on management.

"Miss Xie, thank you for the sword you sent, now it is getting more and more comfortable, and I feel that my strength is much stronger. ”

Sister Yan said seriously, "It's a good thing and a bad thing to get more and more comfortable, everything can't be relied on, when you have a habit or preference that is difficult to change, it will limit you, but there is a process for everything, and you will understand it in the future." ”

Although Zhang Ling didn't understand it yet, it was a fortunate thing to find a sword in his hand, but he still wrote down his sister's words seriously.

Tian Shen interrupted, "It's not that today's peers, why did you put on a master's posture again. ”

He Zhou quietly took out the wine jug and took a few sips, ready to watch the excitement.

Who knew that Sister Yan didn't bother to entangle, "Okay, let's not talk about business today, just be happy." ”

"Will you go to the palace banquet in three days?"

"Your Majesty has just asked someone to bring an edict, and it seems that you can't help but give this face. ”

"That's good, then we can be together, my father is away, my mother is in a simple house, and I am the only one in the palace. ”

Sister Yan doesn't matter, Zhang Ling is not a bad person, there will definitely be variables in the palace banquet at that time, take him with you, and at the critical moment, you can also pull him, "Okay." ”

I saw Tianshen with a polite smile on his face, and his hands were already ready to move, so he wanted to take this kid away.

Brother Xie Yun is finally back.

"There was a little trouble on the way, but it was fine. ”

There are frequent accidents in the family, and the Bai family is always a little uneasy in his heart, so he will go to the temple in a few days to worship and ask for peace.

Xie Ling changed into his official uniform and came with a fan, Zhang Ling had only heard of this young and promising Xie Shaoqing, and when he saw it today, the rumors were true.

Compared with the twilight Tianshen who is not easy to approach, Hezhou, Xie Ling, the son of the family, is warm and warm, and is more popular, and many young ladies keep peeking at him, dressed in scarlet clothes, with the leisure of a noble son.

On the fan that does not leave the hand, there is a picture of a lady holding a lantern, but unfortunately there is only a side face, and it is not real under the rhyme of the light.

The people that Sister Yan and others have come into contact with, Xie Ling has asked people to check, this Zhang Ling is indeed good, Sister Yan is optimistic, Xie Ling does not treat him as an outsider, although it is the first time they meet, it is okay, "Zhang Gongzi." ”

"Xie Shaoqing. ”

After saying hello, Xie Ling complained with a serious face, "Your Majesty's condition is better, you don't think about the government at the first time, you actually think about the palace banquet, Dali Temple is busy all day, what kind of banquet do you have to attend." ”

Zhang Ling said, "Your Majesty may want to appease everyone's feelings, and by the way, show the countries that he is still there." ”

"I see that the sons of the military generals in Beijing, most of them are young in the army, Zhang Gongzi is the son of General Long Xiang, he is an adult, why is he still in the country. ”

"Da Chu has been stable for several years, there is no war in the army, and now he is in the army, he can't serve the country, and most of the sons of the family are only trying to get promoted, not any big ambitions. Zhang Ling's talent is not high, in addition to learning martial arts, that is, studying military affairs has only achieved little results, many gentlemen in the country, rich in knowledge, Zhang Ling hopes to learn real skills, if there is an opportunity in the future, willing to show his ambition to serve the country. ”

"In the year of peace, I concentrate on studying, and when there is turmoil, I don't hesitate to be enthusiastic. Yes, if you are not deceived by the fame and fortune in front of you, you will become a great tool. ”

"Borrow Xie Shaoqing's auspicious words. ”

He Zhou said, "You two are about the same age, can you not be old-fashioned and talk well." ”

Zhang Ling said with a smile, "He Shaoxia is right, tonight is still a splendid mountain and river, let's just cherish it." ”

As he was talking, Xie Yu brought Zheng Xian and the others here, and Xie Ling had no time to pay attention to Zhang Ling Hezhou now.

When Lin Zi saw him, she was happy and a little awkward, so she could only tilt her head slightly after the salute, not looking at his eyes.

Sister Yan secretly kicked Xie Ling, when this thing said it, how to marry someone, what are you doing standing here now.

Xie Ling endured the pain, took two steps forward, and pretended to be casual, "Miss Lin, why didn't Lin Shaoqing come today." ”

Everyone complained in their hearts, are you stupid? Lin Zi came in the morning, Lin Yuan is in the yamen, you and Lin Yuan are in the same yamen, you don't know, and you still ask others? Do you dare to find a different topic.

Only Zhang Ling was a little confused, didn't he say that the relationship between the two Shaoqing in Dali Temple was not very good, why did Xie Shaoqing ask about Lin Shaoqing.

He accosted him, and Lin Zi couldn't help but reply to him, and turned around and said, "Brother will go to the yamen early in the morning, if there is nothing to do, he will come later." ”

The eyes of the two met together, Lin Zi lowered his eyes a little shyly, but saw Xie Ling's fan, the picture of the lady painted on it, so familiar, isn't this himself?

Xie Ling is worthy of being the young head of the Xie family who overshadowed all the sons and brothers, and his talent is also outstanding on the way to painting.

Unlike Sister Yan's paintings, which have a shape and no rhyme, Xie Ling's paintings have an aura, which others don't know, and those who are familiar with Lin Zi can see at a glance that it is her from this side face painting.

Zheng Xian naturally saw it, and gently touched Lin Zi's arm to bring her back to her senses.

The guests almost arrived, Xie Yun and Bai also came, Bai gave an order, and the servants hurriedly went down to do something.

After a while, a bright light crossed the air and suddenly exploded.

"It's fireworks. ”

Fireworks are precious, ordinary people are difficult to see, this time in order to make Xie Yu happy, the Bai family also wasted a lot of effort, and people prepared a lot of fireworks, which cost a lot of money.

Everyone gathers together, and the fireworks that explode from time to time light up everyone's faces, at least at this time, everyone is happy.

Xie Ling quietly took two steps and stood next to Lin Zi, Lin Zi felt the tall figure next to him, and couldn't help but secretly look up at him with a sideways face.

I saw that the person who was more than a head taller than himself was looking down at himself seriously, his eyes were full of broken starlight, there were no evil thoughts, only joy.

At that moment, Lin Zi felt that there were also bright fireworks exploding in his heart.
