Volume 1 Chapter 498 Going to the Banquet
Xie Lingyun came to Xie Mansion for a few days, and spent it in the area of the firewood room of the slave workshop, and no one bothered him, so he could spend his days cultivating leisurely.
Counting up, it has been almost a year since his life skills entered the realm of the Dao Fetus, but he has not made much progress, and that is because first, there are many affairs, and secondly, he focuses on cultivation, and he also intends to stabilize and accumulate the existing life skills. Before you can build a foundation in 100 days, and you can build a foundation in less than 100 days, which can be described as a kind of accumulation.
From Dao Fetus to Yuan Infant, he also hopes that from the beginning of formal cultivation, it can be completed in 100 days. And after cultivating for the past few days, he had already broken through to the middle stage of the Dao Fetal Realm at a rapid speed, and the holy light in the dantian became brighter and brighter.
Early in the morning, it was refreshing, Yiga, Xie Lingyun pushed the door and walked out of the wing, everything in the courtyard of the firewood room was simple, and there were bundles of firewood stacked on one side, he looked at the clear blue sky, and it was a clear day
Just when he thought that he could cultivate comfortably, there was a sudden commotion, and he saw a large group of people walking in front of the courtyard road, most of them were servants, and they hugged several young people in gorgeous clothes, especially the young man in the flower crown brocade robe who was walking in the middle position, and they were obviously very respectful of him.
The young man was in his early twenties, dressed in luxurious and neat clothes, with a lion's head and jade belt pinned to his waist, and a paper fan painted with beautiful landscape paintings gently shaking in his hand, and his handsome face was smiling, seemingly gentle, but also had a noble air that was not angry and arrogant.
Xie Lingyun raised his eyebrows, and the man gave him a very special feeling, as if he ......
"May I ask if Your Excellency is the champion of the Jiangnan Youth Heroes Association-Xie Lingyun?" the young man asked loudly as everyone approached.
"Exactly. Xie Lingyun nodded, with a puzzled look on his face, "Everyone?"
The young man folded his fan and smiled, clenched his fists, and said in a very respectful and happy tone: "Isn't it Xie Gongxin Xie Guicheng, I have already heard about Brother Xie's deeds, and I have always regretted not being able to meet each other, but this morning I suddenly heard that Brother Xie was in our Xie Mansion, and I was overjoyed for my brother, so I immediately ran over." ”
He also introduced several other young people in Huayi, who were either younger brothers in the clan or friends of other clans, and said: "Ake, you have been coming to Xie Mansion for a few days, and I only realized it today that I have wronged you to live in the firewood house, and I hope to forgive me." ”
He just didn't introduce himself much, but when ordinary people hear this name, anyone with a little insight will know who "Xie Gongxin" is, Kang Legong's grandson, Xie's youngest son, and a famous genius among the younger generation of the Xie family.
Although he is far inferior to his clan uncle Xie Ming, just because he is the most promising one among Kang Legong's three grandsons and one granddaughter, he can steadily squeeze into the ranks of the hottest young talents in the world.
"Oh" Xie Lingyun suddenly understood, no wonder the other party made him feel a strange sense of familiarity, this person was his third brother, and there was a blood connection between them......
He knew that Kang Le Gong had two sons, the eldest son Xie was his father, and he gave birth to Xie Gongren, Xie Gongxiao, Xie Gongxin and Xie Gongyi, and the second son Xie Qiong was his uncle, and now he only gave birth to one daughter.
"Brother Guicheng is serious, I live here very well. He smiled, although Li Xiubin said that he and Xie Gongxin were good friends, he didn't know what kind of temperament this third brother was, so he wouldn't make an impression. He very much hopes that Brother Guicheng is a humble gentleman, and the two brothers can drink and talk happily, and they can't talk enough.
"Tonight, I will set up a banquet in the back garden of our house, call friends to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, and let them know you, a talented man from Jiangzuo, as they wish. ”
Xie Gongxin's words were affirmative, as if he had never thought that Xie Lingyun would refuse, he suddenly raised his thick eyebrows and asked, "I also heard that you and Li Xiubin have some grievances?"
Hearing this name, Xie Lingyun's smile suddenly faded, and he nodded: "That's right, when Li Xiubin was in Jinling the year before last, he colluded with the demon thieves in southern Xinjiang to try to kill people and set fire to my mountain gate Chaotian Palace, but fortunately, we responded in time, and our division worked together to capture the thieves, but only burned down a few halls." If you're unlucky, the consequences are really unimaginable. ”
"Li Xiubin and I have played together since childhood, I know him well, he is indeed a little arrogant and impulsive, but his heart is not so bad. Xie Gongxin's eyebrows furrowed even higher, "He also told me about this matter, saying that he didn't do it, and he was beaten into a trick, is there any misunderstanding in it?"
"There's no misunderstanding, it's just that he deceived you. Xie Lingyun said solemnly, his heart had sunk a lot, and he had a bad feeling: this brother might be a person with no name.
Xie Gongxin was thoughtful, and suddenly said: "Ake, do you think this is good, I will also invite Xiu Bin to attend tonight, and I will take the lead, so that you can explain this matter clearly, whether there is any misunderstanding, whether there is any grievance, what southern Xinjiang witch thieves, mysterious heavenly arrows, everyone will make it clear." ”
Although he asked if he was okay, he didn't consider the other party's opinion, and he already smiled again: "Xiu Bin has changed a lot since he came back from Jinling, you can become friends." ”
Everyone nodded and agreed.
"Brother Guicheng is laughing. Xie Lingyun didn't have a good tone, "I don't mean that Li Xiubin has changed, it's that the case was clear at that time, the human and material evidence is there, Li Xiubin can say that he is confused for a while, but it is definitely not a trick to be beaten."
Xie Gongxin was swept away, a little displeased, opened the paper fan and shook it, as if to let the cool breeze soothe the angry heart, "To be honest, I think there are still many doubts, and Ah Ke should not be blinded by anger, can the words of the witch thief be taken seriously?
"If Brother Guicheng held a banquet just to talk about this, I don't think I need to go. Xie Lingyun said bluntly, if Li Xiubin did not repent, he would be disgusted when he saw it.
The slaves all changed their faces a little, and they almost accused this guy of being rude, it is rare for the third prince to appreciate his face so much, and he actually ...... This is Xie Fu, does this kid want to sweep away immediately?
Those young people were also a little surprised, since Xie Lingyun came back to join Xie Fu, he should try his best to make friends with a promising figure like Xie Guicheng, right, what is this now? Madman demeanor? I'm afraid Xie Guicheng won't buy it
"I'm hosting a feast to catch you up and wash the dust. Xie Gongxin's face was also a little unbearable, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "It's not just Li Xiubin who went to the banquet, all the invitations have been sent out, Ake, you can't sweep everyone's interest." ”
"Ha Lu Ha. Xie Lingyun immediately felt a little ridiculous, so much so that he laughed out loud, when did he agree?
"That's it, I'll send someone to pick you up in the evening. Xie Gongxin ignored what the other party thought, put aside a few words in a tough tone, and left with a group of entourage, "Let's talk again tonight"
Xie Lingyun watched them walk far away, and suddenly shook his head and laughed again, there was a lot of disdain and disappointment in his laughter, it seems that this third brother is not much better than Li Xiubin, they are all mink, it is really a loss of Xie's demeanor.
I didn't promise him to withdraw his gaze and walked towards a big tree over there, where he had been meditating and cultivating for the last few days.
When he came to the tree, he soon entered a quiet state of inner light cultivation, time passed quietly with little by little cultivation, I don't know how long it took, he suddenly heard Uncle Zhong's voice: "Fourth Shao, it's almost evening." ”
"Yes......" Xie Lingyun opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw that it was almost dusk, and Uncle Zhong was standing by the tree like a ghost, he said a little dissatisfied: "Evening is evening, I don't know if I have cultivated to a critical juncture, what do you want me to do." ”
"The old slave knows what happened in the morning, and the fourth young man is better to go to the banquet. Uncle Zhong said, "It's not a good thing for brothers to be on the wall. ”
"Then why don't you evaluate my third brother?How is his character?" Xie Lingyun stood up, clearly disagreeing with Uncle Zhong's words, "I have never liked hypocrisy, I go to the banquet, everyone will only make more unpleasant." ”
Uncle Zhong sighed, "The four young people don't have to be vain, they just need to be themselves." ”
Xie Lingyun glanced at the hunchbacked old man and stopped, "You mean, you hope that I will change the third brother's personality, so that he can be far from a villain and a gentleman, but a general of the Xie family?"
"Of course the old slave would like to see that. Uncle Zhong's wrinkled face squeezed out an ugly smile, "That person is Si Shao's own brother, if you don't even try, isn't it also the villain's doing?"
"Hmm......" Xie Lingyun groaned, the old man was not wrong, in fact, no matter whether that person was his third brother or not, wasn't it his duty to help Shidu people, he nodded: "I understand." ”
Uncle Zhong smiled again and walked to the firewood room, ready to chop firewood.
And Xie Lingyun wandered for a while, didn't think about his thoughts, and enjoyed the spectacular sunset and sunset, and not long after, a small servant arrived and led him to the back garden north of the mansion.
The so-called back garden occupies a huge area, Xie Lingyun followed and did not know how many forest roads he had walked, walked up a small hill, and passed through a large section of mountain and stone paved mountain roads, and came to a wide pavilion between the secluded forests.
He couldn't help but shake his head and smile, didn't he say that this was a banquet for him, so why had the banquet already started before he, the main master, arrived?
"Uh......" The little guy saw that he was not angry, and he also felt strange, "Gongzi Xie, we have arrived, and the third prince has disturbed Yaxing by stipulating that the villains are not allowed to go over, so please go alone."
"It's good. Xie Lingyun nodded in response, and strode towards the pavilion, leaving the little guy scratching his head in doubt.
There are more than a dozen seats in the pavilion, a group of young people sit on the ground, they push the cup to change the lamp, from time to time burst into a big laugh, next to each sitting a beautiful woman with a superb style, someone will hold the beauty in their arms, even up and down their hands, not surprising.
They are smiling, or pouring wine for their sons, or whispering intimately, they are also very happy, some of them are concubines, some are famous prostitutes, none of them are mediocre in reputation, all of them are well-known beauties in the capital.
Maybe Li Ru will scold him for violating customs when he sees it, but in fact, such a banquet will only lead to beautiful talk, thinking that when Mrs. Xie Dongshan brought prostitutes, he didn't know how merry and happy he was.
"Brother Guicheng, everyone, Xie someone is here. Xie Lingyun walked into the pavilion, arched his hand to Xie Gongxin on the side of the table, and looked around from the corner of his eye, not only saw Li Xiubin, but also saw that there was no empty seat in the pavilion.
Sure enough, everyone fell silent, looking at each other, and some people were really surprised, why did he come; Some people can't help but snicker, now they have been tricked; And Li Xiubin's one eye was staring at this enemy who did not share the sky, his fists were already clenched tightly, and his strong murderous aura frightened the little beauty next to him to turn pale......
"Hey, Ake......" Xie Gongxin also looked surprised, and stopped holding the wine glass, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't come to the banquet......?"
He found this reason, and seemed a little embarrassed, "This is really a test for me, I thought you wouldn't come, so I didn't set up your seat." Why don't you go back first, and I'll have another banquet for you tomorrow?"
If Xie Lingyun turned his head back like this, he would naturally make a joke, even if the world didn't laugh, it would be enough for them to laugh happily for one night.
Many young people have a playful face, the beauties are eating and laughing, and the corners of Li Xiubin's mouth show a sneer, this is just an appetizer......
"Ha Lu Ha" However, everyone didn't expect that Xie Lingyun actually laughed Da Lu, not embarrassed at all, and then he walked straight to the last seat, while saying: "Why bother, just add one more seat now, Xie Mansion is so big, can't you add one seat? Ha Luha, there is no need for beauties, just have good wine."
He sat down on the opposite side of the last table with a big grin, looking like he was waiting for the wine to be served.
Everyone was a little stunned, this, this...... Should I say he's open-minded, or is he thick-skinned enough?
Xie Gongxin was slightly stunned, didn't he say that Xie Lingyun was a person who was arrogant and arrogant? People who would say things like "There are only ten fights in the world, Cao Zhi has eight fights, I have one fight, and others have one fight" should not be angry now?
Li Xiubin's sneer was gone, but he was irritated first, this guy really deserves to be damned......
"What?" Xie Lingyun looked innocently at the silent crowd, "Aren't you welcome me?" ”
"How could Ha Luha not welcome Ake, you are willing to come, I can't be happy. Xie Gongxin had no choice but to say this, looked at Ai Ji beside him, and said, "You go and order someone to add another table of wine and food, and call a beautiful Ji in the mansion to come over to accompany Ah Ke." The beautiful woman answered softly, and got up to do it, swaying in a swaying ......
"I don't have to, I just want good wine. Xie Lingyun hurriedly shouted, this is absolutely absolutely sincere, "Don't be a beauty"
Everyone suddenly had strange faces, and Xie Gongxin asked: "Ake, do you have any special hobbies? There is no 'Longyang-jun' in our house, but you can find ......."
Hearing this, the beauties immediately looked up and down at the new young man, the eyebrows of the eyebrows, the disgust of disgust, it is a pity that such a handsome face......
"Not really. Xie Lingyun shook his head with a smile, his eyes turned around the girl's face, but he sighed: "It's just that the sea was once difficult to water, and several of my lovers are all heavenly and fragrant, so my personal understanding and requirements for beauty have reached an incredible status, I am afraid that the so-called beauty called by Brother Guicheng will not meet my liking, but I will look forward to it in vain." ”
What? Whether it's a man or a woman, the whole pavilion is stunned, what does this guy say...... Crazy talk
The beauties were embarrassed and angry at the same time, and they refused to do so, asking their benefactors to seek justice for themselves.
Li Xiubin knew that Xie Lingyun had a beautiful maid, but she was just beautiful, and he laughed, "Some people are really good at talking nonsense." ”
However, Xie Lingyun didn't pay attention to his provocation, and didn't bother to look at him.
"I don't know what you want?" Xie Gongxin was very displeased, accustomed to the fact that other teenagers were vassals, and suddenly there was such a guy talking wildly in front of him, which was really unhappy, "The singers and dancers of our Xie Mansion are all the best in the world." ”
"That's the way they are?" Xie Lingyun shook his head, "That's it." ”
If it was Mrs. Xie who said this, they would be ashamed of themselves, but why did this guy look at him like that, I don't know if Lu Dao had ever tasted a woman
Xie Gongxin's face sank, he didn't know what to say, Xie Lingyun was obviously deliberate, even if he really found Xi Shi's posture, maybe he shook his head. What is it now? Anti-guest, to humiliate them?
"I know you'll be upset if I tell the truth, but I can't help it, that's the truth. Xie Lingyun shrugged, "What about the wine? Why hasn't the wine come up yet?" ”
In fact, Xie Gongxin's love Ji didn't leave the pavilion, and at that moment Xie Gongxin waved her hand and let her go, no longer saying anything about beauty, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Ake, you were also born in Xie Mansion, but you were fostered and sent to Jinling since you were a child." Seeing his nod, he continued to ask, "But I can't figure out after asking for a day, which clan uncle are you, and what is the relationship between you and me?"
Everyone had this question, they could only find out that Xie Lingyun was the nephew of the hunchback Zhong in the chai room, in other words, the grandson of the brother of the hunchback zhong, but who knew what brother the old man had.
It doesn't seem to be at all, Hunchback Zhong is just a widower, no wife, no children, no relatives and no reason, where is the brother, where is the nephew?
"Ha Lu Ha. Xie Lingyun couldn't help laughing, listening to the third brother's meaning to wonder if he was pretending to be a relative, it was really funny, he naturally couldn't say, "If it weren't for Kang Lebo saying anything about the world, I wouldn't want to come back at all", he only smiled: "It's not a secret, since the little brother was fostered, he is a little unclear about this." ”
"And who is your father?" Xie Gongxin's brows were already furrowed.
"I can't tell you for the time being. Xie Lingyun said.
The pavilion was silent again, and everyone looked at each other, what was this for? He couldn't even say who his father was?
