After the banquet that day, Xie Lingyun continued to live a peaceful life in the firewood room, and for a few more days, Uncle Zhong said that Kang Le Gong had not come back yet, and he had to continue to wait. He remembered a little about Ah Man, these ten days, I don't know how they are doing, so I want to leave Xie Mansion to go outside, so I can see the beautiful scenery of Luoyang.

But Uncle Zhong said that it was best not to go out of the city, so as not to cause any turmoil at this time, so he asked Uncle Zhong to send a yang god out of the city to find A Man and the others, and report peace to each other, while he stayed in the house.

And early in the morning, an unexpected "visitor" came to the slave shop.

One of the daughters of the house, Xie Yuejing.

"You really live here. ”

Seeing Xie Lingyun playing with a long sword in front of the courtyard of the firewood room, Xie Yuejing was surprised, she was followed by two maid rings, with delicate appearances, both wearing beautiful clothes cut with satin, with colorful patterns, and bright eyes, obviously with a certain life cultivation, this is really different from the maid ring in the slave workshop.

"yes. Xie Lingyun stopped the magic sword and asked with a smile: "What's the problem? You don't think that living here is lowly, right?"

"No, I didn't mean that......" Xie Yuejing suddenly shook his head gently, showing a serious look on his face, "But there are rules in the mansion, the people of the Xie clan have other places to live, and you shouldn't live here, brother." I'm going to talk to the chief manager and ask him to rearrange a small courtyard for you. ”

Xie Lingyun could see that she was sincere, this clan sister was very kind-hearted, unlike Xie Gongxin, his mood was much better, and there were still some people in this Xie Mansion who were worthy of his cherishment.

"No, I had a comfortable stay here. He laughs.

"But ......"

"It's really not necessary, Uncle Zhong also needs my care. He couldn't help laughing louder as he spoke, a Yang God master needed him to take care of him, Ha Lu Haha saw that she was still entangled, so he took the initiative to divert the topic: "Sister, do you still have two lines of my poems that day, these days I have been looking for sentences, and I want to write it into a complete "Yan Ge Xing", and finally got two more sentences, how about you listen?"

As a child of the Xie family, there should be few people who don't like poetry, and Xie Lang is "Wenyi Yanfa", and his only granddaughter Xie Yuejing should have a good bloodline inheritance.

"Okay" Xie Yuejing was really interested, her expression was different, and the corners of her mouth smiled, "I was scared by you that day, and those two poems seem to have a ghostly spirit." ”

But the more she looks at it now, the more she feels that this clan brother is very kind, and the demeanor revealed between his words and deeds, to be honest, she has never seen them in the Guicheng clan, and only the uncle of the Shuyuan clan has this kind of demeanor

"That's not surprising. Xie Lingyun laughed again when he heard this, "I do have a lot of ghost energy on me. ”

"Huh. Xie Yuejing thought he was just joking, she and the two maids smiled, and then they didn't care, "Your two new poems, read them and listen to them?"

"Yan Ge Xing" is a kind of Yuefu boudoir resentment poem, a tune created by Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, "Who knows that the river and Han are shallow and clear, and the exhibition turns to serve the sad star" is really suitable for writing "Yan Ge Xing", maybe the poetry that he thought of at that time was derived from the influence of Cao Pi's "Yan Ge Xing" poem at the end of the poem "Morning Glory and Weaver Girl look at each other from afar, and you can live up to the river beam".

"Listen. Xie Lingyun looked at the clear sky above and read: "Tune the strings and promote the pillar to mourn, and the bright moon in the distant night will judge the jade mirror." ”

"Good sentence" Xie Yuejing's eyes suddenly lit up, and when she recalled the meaning of "moon mirror", she had already praised it, and then her face turned red again, "It's good, but ...... the word 'jade mirror' must be changed." ”

Thinking that the two maids and their young ladies had a good relationship, they both laughed at this time, "Miss, in my opinion, there is no need to change them, these two sentences are very good." "Yes, the artistic conception is very cold and lonely. ”

Xie Yuejing glanced at them with a smile, "Clan brother, change it." ”

"Okay, change it to a screen, okay. Xie Lingyun shrugged helplessly.

"Such a change...... Xie Yuejing frowned, and there was a new dislike, if it was a "jade mirror", the resentful woman in the poem was sitting on the side of the bed by the dresser, playing with musical instruments, looking at herself in the mirror, her face was getting older, but Lang Jun was not around, there was not only a sadness of being alone in the empty room, but also a kind of panic of aging with a beautiful face, and the scene was very resentful.

In the next two sentences, the woman tossed and turned on the bed, thinking about it, which added a layer of change to the poem

But the woman of "curtain" was directly on the bed, and there was no taste of self-pity and self-pity in the mirror.

"This change is no different from Emperor Wei Wendi's 'The bright moon shines on my bed, the stars and Han flow westward at night, and the scenery is not young......" She said contemplatively, and asked: "Brother clan, aid the qin and sing the strings to send the Qing Shang, the short song can't be long, do you have any ideas?"

Xie Lingyun nodded, "It's also a sentence just now, how about opening the window to get Qin Zheng?"

"Good. Xie Yuejing couldn't help but applaud again, but now she is talking about the beginning of the poem from the end of the poem, this sentence is two sentences ago, before the woman sat on the edge of the bed, she went to open the window, pulled up the curtain, and then went to get a Qin Zheng to play with it......

Jade mirror or curtain screen?

"Clan sister, you don't have to rush to decide. Xie Lingyun smiled, saw through her contradictory thoughts, and said: "It's up to you to decide which word to use, before you decide, this poem will definitely not let the world know, so it's good." ”

"Miss, Lingyun Gongzi is really hearted. "Just use the jade mirror, right?" the two maids praised.

"Then I'll have to think about it. Xie Yuejing's smile grew, this clan brother was really interesting, and he was very good at poetry, "Hey, I seem to have heard of your name......" She suddenly looked surprised, looked at the maids left and right, and asked, "Isn't there also a Xie Lingyun in Jinling?" She looked at the young man in front of her, surprised and delighted: "You are that Xie Ke'er?"

"It's just not down. Xie Lingyun shook his head and sighed, "I thought I was already famous all over the world, but I didn't expect you to remember it now, and now I know that I have heard that the Daoist is deceitful, and I didn't tell my deeds at all." ”

Xie Yuejing waved her hand and explained with a smile: "I didn't want to go in that direction, but we have all heard a lot about you, brother of the clan, and we have all heard of Dou Cai and the Heroes Association, you are very powerful." ”

"Definitely. Xie Lingyun nodded.

"Poof, don't you know how to be modest?" the girl named Siyu smiled with her mouth covered. Xie Lingyun said: "But I'm really good. Another girl named Nian Xue also smiled: "It's powerful in Jinling, but it's not necessarily in the capital." ”

"That's wrong, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and they are powerful wherever they are, and they are not good anywhere. ”

Hearing his words, Xie Yuejing didn't smile, frowned a little worriedly, and said, "I heard that at the banquet a few days ago, Li Xiubin was beaten up, and it seems that his hair was cut" Xie Lingyun nodded and said, "That's right, I did it." The two maids also opened their mouths in surprise, this is a big deal, he is still nothing.

"What's the matter, sister, are you afraid that he will retaliate against me?" Xie Lingyun smiled and walked to the other side of the courtyard, "I want to take his life, it's as easy as a finger, he is still alive now, you should thank me for my kindness, twice." ”

"I know you're outstanding. Xie Yuejing still frowned, walked to the courtyard together, and said kindly: "I also know that Li Xiubin is not a good person, but you do this...... It's going to get into trouble. ”

Xie Lingyun deliberately teased her: "Then it's clear that I didn't do anything wrong, and someone is making trouble for me, and the Xie family doesn't protect me?"

"I don't know. Xie Yuejing's face turned red again when she heard this, but this time it was a different kind of red, and she was a little ashamed, "Brother, in short, you have to be more careful, don't go out of the mansion recently, Li Xiubin will never dare to come to our Xie Mansion to make trouble." I'll go tell my dad about your situation, and when Kang Le Gong comes back from the Northern Regions, I'll also go and tell him, it's okay. ”

Good man, Xie Lingyun's heart swelled with warmth, and he vaguely tasted a taste called "family affection", maybe a little different from the master, uncle, and brother, anyway, he felt very warm, "Xie Lu, thank you."

He seriously bowed his hand to this clan sister, although it was only the second meeting, he had already secretly made up his mind that he must protect Xie Yuejing well.

One of the big reasons why he agreed to that marriage and returned to the capital was to continue the glory of the Xie clan and prevent this big clan, which is now at the peak of power, from falling into the situation of being slaughtered in the future

And to be honest, now except for Kang Legong, his parents who have never met, and the old ghost Uncle Zhong, only Xie Yuejing makes him feel such an urgent feeling, Xie Gongxin is his own brother, but he can't.

After a few days, the number increased further.

That morning, Xie Yuejing and the three of them stayed for less than half an hour before leaving, but they came again in the afternoon, and took one of her own brothers, Xie Hui.

Xie Hui is only a twelve-and-a-half-year-old child, but he is already quite famous, and he is among the ranks of prodigies both inside and outside the clan. Xie Lingyun also heard Uncle Zhong say that Kang Legong values Xie Hui very much, thinking that he is smart and stable, and he can become a great weapon, but he can't keep the prominence of the Xie family, and he is probably worse than Xie Ming.

He didn't see it much, he was a very smart and well-behaved child, compared to Hengbao, who was two years younger, he could indeed be called "steady".

Unlike Xie Yuejing, Xie Hui was more interested in his brother's martial arts, and kept saying that he wanted to see the ability of the champion of the Jiangnan Heroes Association, so he performed what is called "Mountain Nerve", a cloud dragon divine mountain on his left hand, and a five-fingered divine mountain on his right hand

From then on, Xie Hui's eyes were full of reverence when he looked at him, and he almost didn't shout "Master is above", and then bowed his head.

The next day, Xie Yuejing brought a few more younger brothers over, yes, a few, eight-year-old Xie Yao, six-year-old Xie Luo, three-year-old Xie Dun, and four-year-old brother Xie Jun, plus twelve-year-old Xie Hui, some children went to the house to uncover the tiles, and some children shouted that I wanted to pee, and it was lively.

Xie Lingyun couldn't help but sigh, Uncle Xie Chong was really able to give birth, in fact, he had two sons, one was Xie Xuan, who was in his twenties, and the other was Xie Zhan, who was seventeen years old at the same age as him.

With a child, there is excitement, I have to say that his life is not leisurely, but there is a lot of happiness, and he has tasted more "family affection", as well as the brotherhood of the clan brothers.

Now that he has become the child king in the Xie Mansion, it is not difficult to do this, he has a way to make Xie Hui, Xie Ji and others have a good time, of course, he himself is also happy.

And Xie Yuejing is also very happy, the eldest sister is like a mother, she has always been exhausted because of these younger brothers, and there is not a day when she is not teaching reading and literacy, teaching the principles of life, and teaching life cultivation...... So she is nineteen years old and is not in a hurry to get married, these days are good, life is really easy, it seems that the four burdens on her body have fallen, and she can still talk about poetry and writing with Brother Xie, can you not be happy.

So, the six of their sisters and brothers and a group of maids were almost going to live in the firewood room of the slave shop, and they came from early in the morning for several days in a row, and did not leave until the evening.

And on this day, there was another younger brother, Xie Zhan.

Xie Zhan is old after all, he has left the action group of his sisters and brothers a few years ago, and traveled with his friends, he went out of the city a few days ago, and only came back today, and as soon as he came back, he heard his sister say "strange people in the house"

"Brother clan, I look up for a long time, I really look up for a long time"

At this time, in front of the door of the firewood yard, the children were jumping around, and Xie Zhan looked up for a long time, he had really heard of Xie Lingyun's talent, and he felt a little sympathetic, but he didn't expect it to be a brother of the same clan, which was really high

"I have long admired my brother. Xie Lingyun smiled and said, in fact, it is not very long, because he has only recently learned more about the children of the Xie family, this Xie Zhan brother knew how to write articles when he was six years old, and the "Purple Quartz Praise" and "Sure Poetry" he wrote at that time were of a very high level, and the literati were all amazed and admired after reading them.

He remembered that he couldn't write such beautiful articles when he was six years old, so he admired the talent of Xie Zhan's brother, and now looking at his conduct, it seems to be very good.

But it's not surprising that none of Xie Yuejing's younger brothers are bad, and with a sister like her, it's hard to think badly.

The two hit it off at first sight, and they talked about each other at the moment, because Xie Zhan was the same age as him, and compared to Xie Hui, he was naturally more talkative, and naturally it gradually became a mystery, including the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and the name of the Dan Dao Middle School has become more and more popular recently

And Xie Lingyun found that Xie Zhan not only knew how to write, but also had a deep understanding of the three theories, and he was really a good friend, and there was one more person he recognized in his heart.

However, just as everyone was gathering and enjoying themselves, the slave shop suddenly became noisy, and the sound of beating and scolding came, shouting and crying......

"What's going on?" Xie Yuejing frowned suspiciously, and the children all stopped playing and looked at the noisy courtyard in the distance to the west.

Xie Lingyun's heart suddenly burst into anger, it was the Silk Storage Yard over there, could it be that Steward Luo was doing evil again? He suddenly strode over, "Let's go and see." And they all followed.

Soon, the group came to the noisy place, but the situation was not as expected......

It's not Luo in charge, it's Xie Gongxin

Xie Yuejing, Xie Zhan, and Xie Hui all looked surprised and puzzled, what happened, I saw Xie Gongxin and his party standing there, he was angry with his face, and scolded a teenage little girl, the little girl was so frightened that she trembled and couldn't cry, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Third son, spare the slave and maid this time...... The slave and maid kowtowed to you......"

"Slow" Xie Lingyun shouted and ran over quickly, faintly feeling that this matter had something to do with him, because that girl was Xiuni.

"Ake, I've alarmed you. Xie Gongxin turned his head to look at it, shook the folding fan in his hand, and said that it was alarmed, so it was clearly saying: Are you finally here?

"Brother Guicheng, what's wrong?" Xie Yuejing and the others also walked over, and she asked in surprise. Xie Zhan also frowned and asked, "Brother, did she do something wrong?"

Xie Gongxin nodded, glanced at Xiuni, who was kneeling and crying, but did not speak. And the Luo steward next to him immediately understood, and said angrily: "The third prince walked by just now, but this girl recklessly bumped into him, forget it, she also grabbed a few holes in the third prince's treasure fan"

Everyone looked at it, and sure enough, the fan in his hand was a little damaged.

"So what?" Xie Lingyun smiled, but with a cold face, "This is going to be shouted and killed?"

"This little girl is deliberate," Steward Luo shouted at the top of his voice, looking anxious as the protector, "I often hear her complain about the low salary that Xie Fu gives her, and she once said bad things about the third son...

"I didn't, I didn't" Xiu Ni hurriedly cried, the slaves behind her wanted to speak and stopped, who didn't know that Lu Dao Xiu Ni was honest and timid, and how could any slave dare to do that, the third prince was a cultivator, it was Xiu Ni A little girl said that the collision could be obtained? Everyone knows how ridiculous Lu Dao is, but no one spoke, this time is different from the last time......

How did the Xie Yuejing sisters and brothers not know that this was ridiculous, the children were confused, but her heart was as bright as the jade mirror, and the matter in front of her was clearly that the Guicheng clan brother was setting a trap to make the Lingyun clan brother jump down......

"It's just a trivial matter, this girl has apologized, forget it, right?" she immediately smiled and persuaded, "Brother Guicheng, at most I will compensate you for a handful of fans." ”

Xie Zhan and Xie Hui didn't speak, their brows furrowed very high, and they didn't look at the clan brother for a moment, and protested silently.

"No, I can't. Xie Gongxin's tone was very resolute, "I heard from Steward Luo that this girl has a bad record, she is lazy to eat, and she does wrong things all day long, and Xie Fu does not raise such waste."

Xiu Ni was frightened, and the servants first whispered, and then they were even more silent, no one wanted to be expelled from the Xie Mansion......

"You pack up and go now. Xie Gongxin glanced at Xiuni again, and then looked at Xie Lingyun, who was silent, not caring about the current matter, and said with a smile: "Ake, I heard that you have been gathering every day recently, and I will also come to join in the fun today." ”

Xie Lingyun ignored him, walked to Xiuni's side, forcibly helped her up, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, with me Xie Lingyun here, you won't go anywhere, just in Xie Mansion." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, Xie Yuejing was secretly anxious, it was terrible......

The fish snapped, Xie Gongxin folded the folding fan, looked funny, and asked, "Why are you?"
