Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

Jiang Xin was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard. The food was already on the table. It was early autumn and the weather was just right, so it was perfect to eat outside.

But at this moment, Jiang Xinzheng and Xie Ze were just staring at each other, with no intention of picking up their chopsticks.

Neither of the two hosts picked up their chopsticks, so Xu's mother naturally didn't dare to pick up her chopsticks first and could only wait for them.

After a while, Xie Ze was the first to give up, and said helplessly: "Ah Xin, do you have anything to ask?"

[Why did Your Highness agree to them?] Jiang Xin was confused and couldn't help but tell Xie Ze: [My mother and sister and I have no contact with each other. Even if this makes them unhappy, it's not a big deal. Your Highness, don't compromise because of me.]

He didn't know how to say it, he just felt a little unhappy.

His Highness should be free and easy-going, not bound by anything, always doing what he wants and living a carefree life. If he has to be coerced to take his feelings into consideration, then he would rather not have his Highness treat him so well.

Although it is wrong to think this way, Fu Xuerong and Jiang Daiyu are both members of the Jiang family, and he is also a member of the Jiang family. His father often said that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer. He should help Fu Xuerong and her daughter, and help his sister.

However, he just couldn't bear to see His Highness compromise in the slightest. Even if it didn't seem like a big deal, he didn't want His Highness to be bound by the Jiang family because of his own affairs.

Xie Ze smiled. It was rare for him to see Jiang Xin looking depressed, but he felt happy. His Ah Xin began to care about him.

"The Grand Secretary Wei's mansion is inviting talented people from the capital to a banquet. I have received the invitation. In this case, what harm will it cause me if I go with you? Rather, Jiang Daiyu's proposal is exactly what I want.

Anyway, there is nothing to do on the day off, so why not go to the Duke of Wei's mansion to enjoy the flowers together with Ah Xin?" Xie Ze said nonchalantly.

"..." Jiang Xin was speechless. After a long while, he stared and found the flaw: [But His Highness obviously doesn't like to attend such banquets. ]

She can even glare at him fiercely, which is another great improvement. Xie Ze thought happily in his heart, but his face remained calm: "How do you know I don't like it?"

"..." Jiang Xin looked at Xie Ze for a long time, which made Xie Ze puzzled. Then he slowly raised his hand and gestured: [Your Highness, can you recite poems and compose couplets? ]

Xie Ze: “…”

Jiang Xin looked at Xie Ze cautiously, and watched his prince's face turn from red to blue, and then from blue to black, and he lowered his head honestly.

Well, it's definitely not that he doesn't trust Xie Ze. The main reason is that he is a responsible little study partner. He has been working with his own prince for the past few days, so naturally he has to be careful and understand every aspect of his own prince.

Ah Fu and Ah Gui had been Xie Ze's personal servants since childhood. After they realized that their prince had feelings for Young Master Jiang, they sold out their master without hesitation when Young Master Jiang came to ask them about his temperament and preferences.

So, Jiang Xin came to know that his Highness was a martial arts expert, wise and brave, and had always been invincible on the battlefield. If it came to fighting alone, no one in the world could match him. He was a great hero and a great man!

Of course, no one is perfect. As a great hero, he naturally has some minor flaws!

Although the two servants glossed over the minor flaw for the sake of their master's future happiness, it did not prevent the clever Jiang Xin from hearing that his highness not only disliked poetry and songs, but even sneered at them.

As for Xie Ze, he is a person who has very clear likes and dislikes. He will definitely not even look at something he doesn't like.

Furthermore, he had been to Xie Ze's study, where there were many books on military equipment, as well as quite a few books on strange stories, but there was not a single book on poetry or songs, which showed how much His Highness disliked poetry.

Finally, he looked at the handwriting of his highness, and, to be frank, it might be even more confusing than his own.

It would really be difficult for His Highness to attend such a banquet.

Jiang Xin lowered his head slightly, glanced secretly at his own prince, and then lowered his head obediently again.

"..." Xie Ze was a little angry because he was looked down upon by his own study partner. However, what his Ah Xin said was true. He was indeed not very good at poetry and songs.

Should he be happy that his Ah Xin is getting to know him better? He is almost exposing his true identity, which is really embarrassing in front of his sweetheart.

It is true that he has lived two lives, and he could have dealt with it by using the poems and essays written by the great writers of his previous life more than ten years later, but he disdained to do such a thing, nor did he want to deceive Jiang Xin about such a matter.

In the end, Xie Ze, who was feeling aggrieved, could only utter one sentence after holding it in for a long time: "The officials invited by Wei Daxueshi's residence are all young men of noble families of appropriate age. Not all of them are famous talents. Only a few of them can show off their poetry and prose. It doesn't matter if they can't."

After saying that, Xie Ze added firmly: "We are all the same."

They are all dandies in the capital, so who is better than who? The autumn examination is approaching, and the truly talented young masters are busy preparing for the exams these days. Who has the time to sing and dance?

It has to be said that under the soul-searching of his little study partner, Xie Ze has already mastered the essence of playing badly without any instruction.

Jiang Xin: “…” What he said made so much sense that it was actually hard to refute.

No matter what, since Xie Ze has agreed, they can just go there to enjoy the flowers.

Anyway, it’s not them who have to meet the other person, so there’s no need to be too nervous.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore and let's eat. The food is almost getting cold because of what those two did." Xie Ze felt that he had regained the situation and quickly changed the topic that made him unhappy.

[Yes.] Jiang Xin also nodded, and motioned for Mother Xu to have dinner together.

Mother Xu smiled and nodded. It was really gratifying that the young master thought of her in this way.

"We'll continue practicing speaking after dinner. Even though it's a little late today, the important thing is to persevere."

Jiang Xin was about to nod when he heard the sound of chopsticks falling to the ground, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Xu's mother.

"Look at me, why am I so careless?" Mother Xu quickly picked up the chopsticks and said apologetically, "I am old now, and I am not as efficient as before. Master, Your Highness, please enjoy your meal. I will go to the kitchen to eat."

Jiang Xin shook his head and was about to ask Xu's mother to change the pair of chopsticks, but Xu's mother took over the conversation first and said with a smile: "Your Highness and the young master are having a good chat. As a woman, I can't get a word in. It's better to go to the kitchen and be at ease. Young master, don't worry."

Hearing this, Jiang Xin looked at Xu's mother's embarrassed look and had to nod.

His Highness has accumulated great prestige, so it is normal for Mother Xu to be frightened. Since it is stressful to stay here, it is better to follow Mother Xu's wishes.

There is a long way to go, and Mother Xu will know in the future that His Highness is a very good person.
