Xie Xuan took a sip of tea, did not go back to his courtyard, and went to his mother Ruan's courtyard first to ask for peace. Ruan Shi hadn't seen him for a long time, and when he saw his son coming, he was happy and couldn't help complaining: "There is no intimate person in your room, and no one reminds you when you should change your clothes." ”

Xie Xuan accompanied his mother to greet and reminisce, but he was a little absent-minded.

Ruan Shi asked again: "Ah Jue is doing well in the palace, I heard that the princess is a difficult person to get along with, she doesn't know how many grievances she has to suffer, this child is also a hard life, I didn't find a proper family for her as an aunt, but she went to Langya Palace, the backyard of Sima's house is a stable place." ”

Xie Xuan frowned and persuaded a few words, but he didn't say whether Ruan Jue was good or not.

Ruan Shi said: "You take care of it more in the future, my mother's family doesn't have much blood, and you and her have been in love since childhood." ”

Xie Xuan said: "Aunt and cousin, a relative, don't mention these words of affection, mother." ”

Ruan Shi wiped the corners of his eyes and nodded repeatedly. talked to Xie Xuan about marriage preparations again, Xie Xuan didn't want to talk more, diverted the topic, the two talked for a while, Xie Xuan asked his uncle Xie Anke at home.

Ruan shook his head and said, "Your uncle will not return home until sunset when he goes out." If you have something to look for him, don't be in a hurry, go back to rest and change your clothes first, and I will send someone to find him. ”

Xie is a big family, after Xie Xuan's father passed away, he was in charge of the family by his uncle Xie An, Xie has many children, Xie Xuan's generation has more than 20 people, Xie An has not been out of office these years, and his efforts are all used to educate Xie's children.

Xie Xuan left the Ruan courtyard and returned to his house to rest, and when it was time for Shen, Xie An went home with the guards. Hearing the news of Xie Xuan's return, he was stunned, and then immediately called someone to summon Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan saluted Xie An when he entered the door.

Xie An looked at him, saw that his eyebrows were calm, nodded secretly, and said, "Why did you come back in such a hurry, you didn't even have a letter, could it be that there is something wrong with the military camp in Guangling?"

Xie Xuan knelt on the seat, straightened his back, and then bowed his head.

Xie An's expression was slightly restrained, and he became solemn: "Something really happened"

Xie Xuan said: "There is nothing wrong with the barracks, a few days ago, spies came in and provoked trouble, and they wanted to break into the dock fort in the middle of the night to kill people, and they have already been dealt with." The money, food, and military salaries are a little nervous, and there is no big thing to do with Liu Daojian's watch, and I came back not for official business, but for private affairs. ”

Xie An said: "There is only one important thing left in the family this year, that is, your marriage, and what private matters are there."

Xie Xuan said in a deep voice: "I want to withdraw from the marriage." ”

Xie An just now saw him kowtow solemnly and felt bad, hearing this, his eyebrows twisted, and he looked at Xie Xuan with scrutiny, "What did the Yang family do to make you want to withdraw from the marriage?"

His tone was calm, but Xie Xuan's heart tightened, and he said, "The Yang clan is not at fault, it is my fault." ”

Xie An said: "Marriage is the best of two families, the Taishan Goat clan is famous and has an excellent reputation, if you withdraw from the marriage, you will let the two families fight each other and ruin the reputation of the Xie family."

Xie Xuan hung his head and said, "Please uncle." ”

Xie An's face sank suddenly, like a snowstorm: "I think you are dizzy, you have no opinion when you discuss marriage, and now that the marriage is about to be completed, I think of withdrawing from the marriage." All these years of books have been read in the belly of a dog, isn't it that you meet someone outside, so you don't know what to say, so you ran back and proposed to withdraw from the marriage"

Xie Xuan raised his head and said, "It's all my own idea, and it has nothing to do with others." ”

Although Xie An is a literati, it is still scary to start a fire, and his eyes are angry, "I know what kind of temper you have, if you don't encounter something, you won't be so impulsive, it's best to make it clear now, if you let me find out afterwards, you can do it yourself." ”

Xie Xuan knew that this uncle had always been a good man, and when he said it, he looked hesitant.

Xie An sneered and said secretly: It's really someone outside. His nephew has been talented since he was a child, and as an elder, he feels extremely worry-free and effortless, but he didn't expect that now that he is twenty years old, he will lose his temper.

"Uncle, the Wei girl may still be in the world." Xie Xuan didn't dare to directly expose Wei Jiao's identity, so he had to say vaguely, "I didn't find the body when I fell into the water, I heard about her recently, and I was about to send someone to find her. ”

Xie Xuanlai thought on the way that Wei Jiao's grave was a well-dressed mound, and if she wanted to restore her identity, she had to use the reason that she had not found the body at the beginning, and then make up for it, but fortunately, in the past two years, he also had his own manpower and could secretly do his own thing.

Xie An looked at him incredulously, "It's just news that I don't know if it's true or not, you are going to withdraw from the marriage"

"There is a first, there is a last, this is the truth."

"I'll tell you what the truth is," Xie An said, "Don't say that it's just false news now, that is, the Wei girl really found it back, and she was lost outside for two years, if the Wei family knows the etiquette, he should take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, so as not to fall into the mouth and embarrass the two families." Marriage is not a child's play, you and the Yang family have already accepted the levy period, and one of the six rites is missing, at this time, the marriage is regretted, the two families have no face, and they are ridiculed by the world's corporals. Your talent and reputation are gone."

Xie Xuan's face was red, and the blood all over his body seemed to be boiling, and he said: "If the Wei girl is still there, I only want to ask her to be his wife." ”

Xie An's eyes straightened, but he didn't expect that at this point, Xie Xuan still didn't give up.

"What kind of ecstasy soup have you eaten, the Wei girl has turned into a monster and confused your mind, saying such unbelievable words, you are not the only one in the Xie family, and I don't think you are allowed to be confused and put your family reputation into it. Now the situation in the court is changeable, and the Xie family has been on the cusp for a long time, and there are endless disasters if there is a slight mistake. If you don't care about dishonoring your family and turning against the Goat clan, you just have to do it. The Xie family should not have you as a descendant, and they have wasted all these years teaching and cultivating you. ”

Xie Xuan was speechless, and his body trembled. He had long thought that this matter would not be so easy, but when he really faced it, he realized that it was far beyond his expectations.

Xie An stood up and glanced at him coldly, "I don't know if what you said today is true or not, but I can remember clearly, no matter whether the Wei girl is dead or alive, it is impossible to marry into the Xie family, and die as soon as possible." ”

——————

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed, and there was still no wind outside, and Wei Ji was a little relieved. Xu Ling came to the door and pulled her out to play. These days, he knows a lot of children of the Jiankang clan, and he has not forgotten Wei Ji.

This went out for a banquet, but Wei Ji was startled.

When the plans were staggered, some scholars took out five stones and distributed them to everyone at the banquet.

Xu Ling was about to stretch out his hand, but was stopped by Wei Ji, and quietly pulled aside and said, "You dare to touch this thing." ”

Xu Ling said: "It is said that it is the immortal medicine powder, and it is like a fairy at ease when I eat it, I have tasted it once, as if I have endless strength, and my thoughts and thoughts are more transparent." ”

Wei Ji persuaded: "There are not a few people who have come to alchemy bait in ancient times, but if anyone becomes an immortal, if there is really a method of immortals, not everyone will have it, how can it be so easy for immortals."

Xu Ling thought about it and felt that the last two sentences really made some sense.

There were also a few people who did not take Wushisan, and after a while, the medicine took effect, and a group of people were wandering and had no scruples, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Xu Ling was also secretly speechless when he saw it, and said: "I ate a little last time, and I didn't know what I did when I woke up, is it the same" He saw a scholar who was usually Sven, ripped off his shirt and ran wildly, crazy, and suddenly felt a little afraid.

Wei Ji and Xu Ling left the banquet, Wei Ji was still not at ease on the way, and told Xu Ling about the disadvantages of Wushisan, "Wushisan stimulates the essence of the human body, and only then will there be a feeling of fluttering immortals, but the mortal fetus of the flesh is not a real immortal, and the essence is limited. ”

Xu Ling pondered silently, and said: "According to Yudu's meaning, this Wushisan is a harmful thing, it's bad, the two friends I just met not long ago learned Xuan with me at Master Chen, and recently they also started to take Wushisan, I should go and persuade it." ”

Wei Ji went to Chen Ling School to listen to the class on the second day, Xu Ling went to the two befriended scholars to talk about Wushisan, and tried hard to persuade him, but he couldn't convince the other party at all, he came back stupidly, and said: "It's really confusing, they all say that this Wushisan is researched by Ge Shenxian, the gods are cheerful, enhance the physique, and are first-class good things." ”

Wei Ji looked at him and said, "You are also a little moved by what they said, right?"

Xu Ling showed a look of shame. Wushi is very famous, almost every family of the Jiankang clan has people to take it, and Ge Hong is a famous man who has returned to seclusion, known as Xianweng. He is also a little confused now, thinking that Wei Ji will not lie to him, and he thinks that it is really useless for so many people to take it

Wei Ji also knew that this idea could not be reversed in a moment, and she didn't want Xu Ling to be poisoned by Yaosan, so after thinking about it, she asked, "Do you know who in the academy has been taking Wushisan for a long time?"

Xu Ling said: "Could it be that you are going to ask them about the efficacy of the medicine, I have asked two earlier, and they both said that they are good bait." ”

Wei Ji shook her head and said, "You take me to take a look." ”

Xu Ling has already been familiar with the academy these days, and took Wei Ji to the courtyard, pointed to a scholar and said, "That, it is said that I have been taking Wushisan for more than three years. ”

Wei Ji looked at it and didn't move, Xu Ling pointed to another one and said, that one has been scattered with five stones for four or five years. Wei Ji said: "See what is not"

Xu Ling was surprised: "What do you see?"

"This face has sores on his face, covered with powder, the cheeks just now are red, and his eyes are even red," Wei Ji said slowly, "Can you become an immortal and say it first, if you use too many five stones, it will be ugly." ”

Xu Ling looked at her in a daze, her throat was dry, "No."

Wei Ji said: "If you don't believe it, just look at those who have been scattered for a long time." ”

Xu Ling saw that although she was smiling on her face, her expression and tone were extremely serious, he immediately believed a little, and he said, "You wait, I'll take a look at a few more." ”

Wei Ji said: "Okay." ”

After waiting for a cup of tea, Xu Ling came back, and before she could speak, he said with palpitations: "What you said is not bad, these five stones really can't be used." ”

He just ran to see two more children of the scholar clan who had been scattered with five stones for a long time, and they either had a bad complexion, their faces were yellow, or they had facial sores. Xu Ling cares most about beauty and ugliness, and when he found that Wushi scattered his appearance, he immediately completely stopped thinking. thanked Wei Ji again, saying that fortunately she reminded her early.

Wei Ji smiled secretly, knowing that with Xu Ling's temperament, he would never touch Wushisan. In fact, it is not a lie to say that the ugly herbs used by Wushisan are dry, and the red eyes and red face are all symptoms of exposure, and the person who takes it is either crazy or addicted to lust, and the complexion is naturally corrupted for a long time.

The author has something to say:

（⊙o⊙）……… This...... It's barely two chapters in one

Tomorrow should be about the same number of words as today, thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2023-04-16 22:36:55~2023-04-17 22:49:35~

Chapter 171: Chapter 170: Surprise

It's a pity that in recent years, there are not a few scholars who seek immortals by alchemy, and taking Wushisan has become more and more popular, and it has become extremely addictive over time. Now that too few people realize this, Wei Ji went home and wrote several letters to Jiang Xia and Yu Zhang, explaining the harm of bait and medicine.

After a few days, the weather became hotter and hotter, Wei Ji took the official letter and walked through the courtyard, rested under the shade of the canopy, and heard the palace maid passing by talking about the Shangqing people, saying that he was profound, and he was good at alchemy.

Hearing the alchemy, Wei Jiao's eyelids jumped, and when she came to the west side of the front hall, the chamberlain was going to pass the word, and reminded her: "Your Highness is listening to the lecture of the Halal people." ”

Wei Ji nodded, indicating that she understood, and waited in front of the hall.

After a while, the chamberlain called her in. Wei Ji walked in, and there happened to be a man in a purple robe walking out slowly, all the way the attendants bowed to see each other, this person had a beautiful hair, slender eyebrows and eyes, and looked like a man of the dust.

Wei Ji looked at him twice, thinking that this was the Shangqing real person.

She went all the way into the west hall, and the gilt silver turtle incense burner in the corner lit incense, and the white smoke curled up, fragrant and pleasant. Sima Pi was holding a volume of "Lao Tzu's Notes" in his hand and was looking down.

Wei Ji presented the official document, and looked up to see a wooden box on the next few pieces, with a yellow paper talisman pasted, at first glance, it was not Sima Pi's usual object, it should be a gift from the Taoist temple.

She felt a sigh in her heart, and immediately remembered that in her previous life, Sima Pi was practicing Broken Valley, and she was poisoned and died after taking the pill. She had also paid attention to it before, and when she saw that Sima Pi did not have the idea of practicing bait, she felt strange, but when she saw the appearance of the Halal people today, she faintly had a thought, could it be that Sima Pi's poisoning in the future was all caused by today

Sima Pi put down the scriptures, and saw Wei Ji staring at the wooden box without turning his eyes.

"Look at what"

Wei Ji said: "Your Highness, this is a gift from the Shangqing people."

Sima Pi smiled, "You also know the name of Shangqing"

Wei Ji shook her head and said, "I just found out today, I don't know what good things the real person gave His Highness"

Seeing that her eyes were clear and curious, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, Sima Pi simply tore open the talisman and opened the box so that she could see it clearly. There are ten golden pills neatly placed in the box, I don't know what kind of refining it is, and the pills are glowing with dark gold, which is quite extraordinary.

Wei Ji sighed slightly, entangled in her heart, Sima Pi died young only five years after succeeding to the throne in her previous life, and the trigger was right in front of her. She glanced at Sima Pi and said, "This medicine looks weird, like a golden stone, I don't know what effect it has."

Sima Pi listened to Shangqing say the scriptures for more than an hour, and was feeling a little swollen, and he felt relaxed and happy when talking to Wei Ji, he pressed the corner of his forehead and said, "You should know about those immortal medicine powder outside." As he spoke, he glanced over, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, "I heard that many of the children of the scholar clan at the banquet took it." ”

"Your Highness is talking about Wushi San, I just saw someone take it a few days ago, crazy and terrifying, not like a god but like a mad demon." Wei Ji took the opportunity to hurry up.

Sima Pi said: "Ordinary five stones are mixed with impurities, and the refining is insufficient, and there will be some abnormalities after taking it. ”

Wei Ji sighed softly and said, "In the past two days, I have also found that after taking Wushisan for a long time, people will become ugly. ”

Sima Pi was stunned, "What nonsense." ”

Wei Ji scared Xu Ling away with ugliness, so he concocted the same method here in Sima Pi, and talked about the appearance of several scholars in the school with a voice and color.

Seeing that she was very serious, Sima Pi felt a little crying and laughing, and coughed lightly: "Maybe these people are ugly." ”

Wei Ji waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, don't despise these subtle changes, your body hair and skin can be seen whether your physique is strong or not, those who take Wushi San, in the short term, feel that the gods are cheerful and their physique has become stronger, but after a long time, people are weak, and if you don't take Yaosan, you are not as good as ordinary people, how can it be called a fairy medicine, Your Highness, don't be gullible." ”

Sima Pi said: "Could it be that this halal people have offended you"

Wei Ji said: "I have never seen this real person, so I don't want to be offended, but I saw that other scholars took five stones and were worried." ”

Sima Pi couldn't hear her intention to dissuade at this time, and glanced at Jin Dan, he closed the wooden box and pushed it away, his movements were careless, "The pills refined by Shangqing himself are very different from the outside, I originally wanted to reward you with a few pills, since you don't like it so much, forget it." ”

Wei Jixin said that it was fortunate to forget it. But listening to the tone, Sima Pi still didn't take this matter to heart, Wei Ji's mouth was dry, she didn't know how to persuade her, she looked at him in a daze, "Your Highness, you should be most careful with the things at the entrance, if the Shangqing people really know how to even know the immortal medicine, why haven't they become immortals yet?"
