happy rebirth

Everywhere in Yaji is inseparable from the word "Ya".

This gathering was started by famous scholar Yan Xinde, who is a teacher of Qiulin Academy, so he borrowed the venue of Qiulin Academy and held the gathering in Xiuxian Villa.Xiuxian Villa is built on Honglin Mountain, and the red forest mountain in autumn is really beautiful, which also proves the wealth of the academy from the side.

It is also because of this relationship that although the Gathering is open to all literati, the students of Qiulin Academy have taken advantage of it.

It was the first time Xie Jinhua faced such an occasion, so he quietly followed behind Shao Rui.Originally, Ye Zhengping was also with them, but the stigma on Ye Zhengping's head had not been completely cleared. After arriving at the villa, he insisted on acting alone.Shao Rui knew his friend's temper, so he let him go.

"It is said that the sickness has already started over there, and if it drags on for two or three months, brother Zhengping won't have so many troubles anymore." Shao Rui said to Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinhua sighed: "Your Excellency, it's okay to wait, but I feel sorry for brother Zhengping's niece... just don't delay her recuperation." For the sake of Ye Zhengping's elder sister's family, Xie Jinhua specially recommended a doctor for him.This doctor is of a higher standard than the few Ye Zhengping hired before, but he also said that Ye Zhengping's niece has some serious sequelae and needs to be taken care of.Because of this, sister Ye Zhengping was determined to reconcile.

The two were silent for a while, then Shao Rui changed the subject and said, "I reckon that Mu Lao will only appear in the second half of the Yaji, and the first half should be communicated by ourselves, whether it's poetry or fu." Well, there are always many opportunities to perform. Even if you can't catch the eyes of Mr. Mu, you can show your talents in front of so many fellow scholars, and you can make friends." Really wait until Mr. Mu appears, the opportunity to perform is just not enough.

Xie Jinhua nodded.He mainly came here today to see something, but he didn't think about making any limelight.

There are nine winding corridors in Xiuxian Villa.Literati love to play music and water cups. This was originally a custom in Shangsi, and it has gradually become a repertoire in the collection.If the teacup happened to fall in front of Xie Jinhua, of course he would not refuse.But if there is no such opportunity, he will not roll up his sleeves to fight.

Xie Jinhua didn't know that in the eyes of others, his behavior made people think that he was modest and polite despite his grandeur.

There is a tall building in Xiuxian Villa.At this time, Yan Xinde, who hosted the Gathering, had already entered the venue, but Mr. Mu was standing on the tall building, accompanied by Sun Hong, the head of Qiulin Academy.Gongsun Shan is more than fifty years old, and he is not as old as Mu Lao in terms of age and fame, so he respectfully calls Mu Lao Mr.

Great view from high up.Whether the students compose poems, or debate, or couplet sentences, or appreciate paintings, no matter what they do, they can be seen by the people upstairs.It's just that the distance is too far. When the scholars are talking loudly, the people upstairs can only see their demeanor, but they can't hear what they say.

Xie Jinhua followed Shao Rui to a speculative meeting.

The other party was aggressive, Shao Rui was short of words for a while, Xie Jinhua stood up slowly, and said: "My surname is Xie, and I am a student of Qiulin Academy." In such an occasion, it is better to introduce himself like this, he would say "I am from "Qingyang Hou's Mansion", on the contrary, it is inferior.

Xie Jinhua helped Shao Rui argue one by one.Shao Rui listened foolishly at first, but soon couldn't help but be overwhelmed.

Seeing Xie Jinhua's behavior like this, Gongsun Shan pointed at the young man and said, "Sir, what do you think of this student?"

Mr. Mu was already a bit old-eyed, and he knew that Gongsun wanted to show off, so he just shook his head calmly and said, "Why do you have to show off!"

Gongsun Shanzhang wanted to show off, and said: "I don't know if you have heard of the couplet on the gate of Yixian Tower?"

If Yixianlou was just an ordinary restaurant, its reputation might not have spread.But the line on the door was too difficult, and Mr. Mu had naturally heard it before.Subconsciously, he squinted his eyes and looked at Xie Jinhua, and said, "Yan Suo Pond Willow? Could it be that this student has a couplet?"

Old Mu naturally agreed, but he always felt that it was not neat and tidy, and the artistic conception still lacked a little meaning.

Mr. Mu Lao was about to lament the fearsome future generations, but Gongsun Shanzhang laughed: "To tell the truth from Mu Lao, the Yixian Tower was built by this student... Two months ago, Yixian Tower created another one called ' To put it simply, the "One Stop to the End" activity is an activity for people to answer questions. I saw that the questions were very interesting, so I asked people to pay attention to them secretly, thinking that if the person who wrote the questions can be used by the academy Alright." The gentlemen in the academy have to give different assessment questions to students in different classes every month, which is also very tiring!So, if only someone could do it for me!

Ye Zhengping was the winner of the first event, but he still doesn't know the relationship between Yixianlou and Xie Jinhua.Gongsun Shanchang has another way.

Gongsun Shanchang continued: "When I first found out that the person who wrote the question was this student, I could hardly believe it. However, the facts are like this. He has been in my academy for a month, and I see him acting calmly. They are so flamboyant. Knowledge and character are excellent.”

Old Mu smiled and said, "Little boy, don't be ambitious." He was open-minded, and when he saw promising young people, he would only feel happy.

Master Gongsun also talked about Xie Jinhua's family background, and even mentioned that although he and Xie Da are blood brothers, due to the big age difference, the remaining young masters in Xie's mansion were all brought up by Xie Da.Being able to understand these internal affairs, it can be seen that Gongsun Shanzhang is indeed a person with many good relationships.

"It's actually Yan Le's grandson!" Mr. Mu was taken aback, and when he looked at Xie Jinhua again, his eyes softened even more.

Chen Yun, whose name is Yanle, is the head of the Yifeng Academy in the south of the Yangtze River.His status, in terms of official career, must be very low, because he has never been an official in his life.But in terms of his status in the mind of the scholar, his status is very high.There are many academies in Anchao, and what everyone praises is just one sentence: there is Yifeng in the south, and Qiulin in the north.Chen Yun has only one daughter, who is the original wife of Lord Xie and the biological mother of Xie Dahe and Princess Dejun.

According to future generations, Xie Jinhua, as a bastard son, naturally has nothing to do with Chen Yun.

But in the eyes of people at this time, if the concubine wants to discuss his family background, he can only discuss it from his father and aunt.Therefore, Xie Jinhua has two grandfathers, one is the father of the original wife Chen, and the other is the father of the step-wife Zhang.Not to mention that he has never met his biological mother, even if he has, he cannot recognize his biological mother's family.

For someone like Ke Qi who formally recognized his mother's elder brother as his uncle, it's a different kind of thing.However, since Ke Qi has already separated from his family, the situation must be different from most people.Moreover, etiquette belongs to etiquette, human feelings belong to human feelings, and a concubine must have a conscience, so naturally he cannot forget his roots.

If bastards like Xie Jinhua were out of touch with everyone, no one would say anything outside.If they behave well, it is natural that the aunt's upbringing has contributed.If their character is corrupt, it is naturally because "after all, they crawled out of the belly of the slave seedlings, and they are broken from the root."

This has nothing to do with fairness or unfairness. Since the descendants are respected and concubines are demoted, the descendants of course have a natural advantage.

Therefore, knowing that Xie Jinhua is so outstanding at this time, Mr. Mu justly praised him: "As expected of Chen Yanle's grandson." With Chen's family tradition, this can't be regarded as wrong.

Mu Lao and Chen Yanle live together in the south of the Yangtze River and have been good friends for many years.When Mr. Mu was imprisoned, Chen Yanle ran for him.

Xie Jinhua didn't know what Elder Mu and the head of the mountain had said about him.After helping Shao Rui out of the siege, he retreated behind Shao Rui.

It wasn't until the end of the elegant gathering that Mu Lao appeared in the garden accompanied by Gongsun Shanzhang.The atmosphere in the garden was once high.Mr. Mu said a few words of encouragement to the students, and everyone wished they could engrave every word with a knife.It can be seen from this that Mr. Mu's status in the hearts of the students is really high.To put it inappropriately, if Mr. Mu just farts, some people will be fascinated by the smell, and then write poems praising that fart is delicious.

Brain powder exists in every era.

Mr. Mu also said that there is nothing to lose in the beauty, since everyone is lucky enough to see the Red Forest Mountain in autumn, why not write a poem with the title "Maple".

This topic is really too simple.Autumn is a good time to appreciate maple leaves, and Honglin Mountain is a good place to enjoy maple leaves. Who doesn’t prepare some poems about maple forest and red leaves in advance when they come to Honglin Mountain to participate in the autumn gathering?But just because the topic is simple, it is not easy to get ahead.

Xie Jinhua pondered for a moment, wrote a poem, and handed it in.

When he returned to the academy, Shao Rui was still very excited, and he kept chattering with Xie Jinhua about Mr. Mu.Xie Jinhua answered, but his heart had already flown to Ke Qi.He went out for half a day today, leaving only Ke Qi in the academy, and wondered if Ke Qi would feel lonely.

What is Ke Qi doing?Ke Qi made fried noodles with a small stove.Food can be improved again!

When Xie Jinhua came back, there was still a smell of fried sauce in the yard.Xie Jinhua immediately felt hungry.

"Wash your face first! Eat after washing." Ke Qi had already begun to miss Xie Jinhua's true face.When he cooked noodles today, because the noodles were freshly made, the noodle soup turned white. At that time, he couldn't help but wonder, when Xie Jinhua washed his face, would the washing water in the end be like this?

Fortunately, Shao Rui used a good powder, and Xie Jinhua was originally fair and moist, and after going out for a long time, he came back without makeup.Ke Qi pulled Xie Jinhua to sit down in front of the chair, went to the stove to bring hot water, added well water to make it warm, then washed the handkerchief, and helped Xie Jinhua wipe his face.

Xie Jinhua closed his eyes, let Ke Qi wipe his face, and asked, "Brother Ke, do you...don't like my white face makeup?"

"How should I put it... It's not that I don't like it, I'm just not used to it." Ke Qi said.He carefully wiped the corners of Xie Jinhua's eyes.

Following Ke Qi's movements, Xie Jinhua took the initiative to lift his chin so that Ke Qi could help him wipe his face more conveniently, and said, "I'm not very used to it... I sweated a little today, so wipe it with a towel." When sweating, always rub some white powder off." He looked very cute like this.

"Such a thick layer is applied on the face, to be honest, it is indeed a bit exaggerated." Ke Qi said.He stepped aside to wash the cloth towel.

Xie Jinhua didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly he closed his eyes and laughed, and said, "Brother Ke, a very interesting thing happened in the gathering today. Someone stepped on the air and was about to fall forward. Fortunately, Brother Shao Standing next to the man, he stepped forward immediately and protected him with his chest. The whole face of the man crashed into Brother Shao's arms, and a white mark was left on Brother Shao's lapel. Exactly the shape of a face."

Ke Qi could imagine the scene, and laughed out loud.After washing the towel, he walked to Xie Jinhua's side and helped Xie Jinhua wipe his face again.

"Hahahaha, our college uniforms happen to be dark in color, and the white powder is more conspicuous when it falls on the clothes. Is Brother Shao just going to talk about it with that face on his face? Let me tell you, the white makeup is really too much It's already..." Ke Qi was talking, and suddenly felt that Xie Jinhua's expression was not right.Ke Qi reacted quickly, and said, "You...couldn't you have made up a story to lie to me?" When did my boy learn to lie?

Obviously, I couldn't even make a joke before!

Since Ke Qi answered the words, Xie Jinhua has been holding back a smile and enduring it very hard.Seeing that Ke Qi had finally seen through his deception, Xie Jinhua laughed heartily for a while before saying out of breath: "It is indeed a lie to you, no one fell into Brother Shao's arms. You were actually caught by me. Got it!"

Ke Qi carefully wiped off the white powder from Xie Jinhua's temples, and directly put the handkerchief on Xie Jinhua's face.He pretended to be annoyed and said, "Wipe the rest by yourself! Well, brother Xie only went out alone once, and he broke his studies when he came back. You never lied to me before."

Xie Jinhua took off the veil on his face, opened his eyes and said, "I won't lie to you, and I won't lie to you again. In fact, something happened at the Gathering today, not as good as the one I just made up." It's exaggerated, but it's also quite... embarrassing. When we were playing Qushui Liushang, the brother sitting next to Brother Shao was a little shorter. Brother Shao had to shake his sleeves when he saluted, and the sleeves just hit the person's face. I rubbed a big piece of powder."

"Brother Shao is a little unlucky." Ke Qi also felt that the scene was a little awkward.

"Fortunately Brother Shao didn't do it on purpose..." Xie Jinhua said slowly.

"Then I have to make a serious apology, even though he was the one who got his sleeves dirty." Ke Qi said.

Xie Jinhua blinked his eyes, blinked again, and suddenly burst into laughter again: "You won't believe it again, right? How much do you hate white face makeup, so you can be fooled by me? Haha, in fact, you can't believe it in Yaji. Nothing happened! Brother Shao is doing well, and he hasn't rubbed white noodles anywhere."

"..." Ke Qi had nothing to say.He actually fell into the same trap twice.This trap was dug by the silly and sweet Jin Huahua!

Xie Jinhua stood up triumphantly from the chair, and went to the side to wash the veil.

"I told you last time that peanuts grow in the soil..." Ke Qi deliberately imitated Xie Jinhua's appearance not long ago, and said slowly.

To say such things in this situation is obviously misleading.

Xie Jinhua was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and cried: "Okay! You really lied to me! I think something is wrong. Peanuts grow on trees, right? If I didn't deliberately tease you today If you play, you will definitely not confess, so am I going to be cheated by you for the rest of my life?"

"I'm not lying to you, peanuts really grow in the soil." Ke Qi smiled innocently.

Xie Jinhua didn't want to believe him anymore, and said smartly, "I won't be fooled by you again! Peanuts must grow on trees."

Ke Qi pinched Xie Jinhua's face.Very good, my simple boy has not been changed, he is still so easy to deceive.Then in May and June next year, why not plant some peanuts in the yard, so that Xie Jinhua knows how stupid and cute he is.Ke Qi smiled contentedly.

--------

"I only heard that Ke Di is unreliable, but I know that this matter must be done personally."

"Tell Chen Niu to send me some peanut seeds later. When I plant a peanut tree, let's see what Kedi can say!"

"I coax him with certainty, but it's not easy for him to coax me."

"It should be so, otherwise, wouldn't I have grown up all these years in vain!"
