Donggong Ce [Rebirth]

Chapter 14 Temporary Cooperation

Xie Gui didn't go out for four whole days.

When he returned to the mansion that day, his eyes hurt so much that tears flowed from his eyes, and Feng Ya was so frightened that he almost went to find the Patriarch of the Xie family.In the past few days, his eye sockets were still red and swollen, and he couldn't see clearly. He just lay on the bed for four days.

Enduring the discomfort, he scribbled a few letters, asking Wei Chu for help to improve the formula.It was the pigeon that Wei Chu sent him that suffered a disaster, and sent more than a dozen letters one after another.

Otherwise, if he comes again a few times, he won't kill Feng Yuan, but will fold himself in first.

"My lord, here comes the tea."

Xie Gui wrapped the crushed ice in a handkerchief, put it on his eyes, took the teacup from Feng Ya with one hand, slowly brought it to his lips, and took a sip.

With eyes like this, naturally one cannot read books.Feng Ya waited on him and leaned on the bed, picked up a book he hadn't finished, and read it to him slowly.

The Xie family has always been the head of the gentry. In recent years, the situation in the court has been unclear, so they kept a low profile.

However, the Xie family has always been generous in raising the children of the family, and they are not low-key at all.

Every child of the Xie family, no matter male or female, must study in the family villa and be accompanied by a book boy.Xie Gui has a special status, even the book boy Feng Ya was carefully selected by the Patriarch and sent to him personally.

Xie Gui listened quietly, then suddenly asked: "Who bullied you?"

Feng Ya was taken aback, "No..."

"I can't see clearly these two days, but I'm not blind, let alone deaf." Xie Gui said slowly, "Tell me, who bullied you?"

Feng Ya was bored for a while before explaining: "My lord, if they bully Feng Ya, Feng Ya will not be angry or sad."

The bookboy chosen by the head of the family himself would only gossip about him behind his back if he was stupid.To make Feng Ya angry, it can only be about Xie Gui.

Xie Gui was startled, smiled and shook his head.

"Gossip, why don't you worry about it. If I really take it seriously, I'd be pissed off."

Feng Ya muttered: "Young Master, I don't know how ugly their words are..."

It has to be said that the Xie family has an amazing family talent in eloquence, and Xie Gui is even more outstanding.He only had to think about it to guess how poisonous those words were.

"As long as father is still around, they will never dare to do anything." Xie Gui said leisurely, "Father is in his prime, and there are at least two of me before he is buried. If you want to die, just say it."

The eldest son of a concubine, who had "lived ill in another village" for so many years, came back safely, and even the patriarch had no intention of driving him away.Who can feel at ease?

Xie Gui is someone who has experienced storms anyway, so he just thinks these small fights are very interesting.If it wasn't for his eye discomfort, he would have to come to the door in person and choke the person to death.

Feng Ya looked at her young master sadly.

Except for a slightly flawed birth, everything is fine.Good looks, outstanding talent, and courage.Why does everyone in the family talk about his background?

Even when he went to the ice cellar to get some ice and applied the young master's eyes, some people made irresponsible remarks.

Xie Gui reclined, Fengya's voice was pleasant to listen to, he unconsciously fell asleep listening to it.

Feng Ya took off the veil and wiped him with ice water.Looking at Xie Gui's red eyes, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

The young master didn't seem to care, but he kept the matter in his heart all the time.I don't know how many hardships I have gone through to get to where I am today.Those who hide under the wings of the Xie family and only care about pointing, how can they be qualified to call him the young master?

He didn't know what Xie Gui did when he went out, and he obediently didn't ask any further questions.Seeing that Xie Gui was asleep, he helped him to lie down and walked out lightly.

Just let his son take a good rest.

As for the Patriarch's order, let the young master prepare for the family banquet, let's wait until the young master wakes up.

-

When I woke up, it was dark.

The redness and swelling of the eye sockets subsided slightly, Xie Gui touched the bronze mirror and confirmed again and again that the improvement had begun, before he was really relieved.

I don't care much about those eyes.

If he can't see Feng Yuan die with his own eyes, what's the point of his life.

Dinner was served slowly, and the maids were always inattentive, so he didn't take it seriously.

Feng Ya remembered: "My lord, the Patriarch said that there will be a family banquet in the evening, and invited several colleagues in the court, and invited you to the banquet as well."

Xie Gui was a little embarrassed and also found it strange.

When he was eight years old, his father clearly said that he would not let the Xie family help him become an official.

"Father opened his mouth?"

Feng Ya nodded, "The head of the family said it himself. Otherwise, those people wouldn't be jealous and gossip behind their backs."

"What else did father say?"

As soon as he reminded, Fengya remembered.

"The head of the family said that a distinguished guest asked the young master to attend by name."

Xie Gui suddenly had a bad premonition.Just listen to Feng Ya added: "It seems to be about King Ning."

-

During the banquet, the Patriarch of the Xie family received a report from the government doctor that the eldest son of the concubine was sick in bed, so he was not allowed to attend the banquet due to his rudeness.The Patriarch was a little helpless, and let him go.

Left and right were detained by Xie's family for a short stay, and in the middle of the night, Feng Zhang changed into plain ordinary clothes and came with the stars and the moon, the first thing he saw was the plaque on the yard.

The three strong and powerful characters of "the residence at that time" should be written by the Patriarch of the Xie family.

It is located in a remote place, but with luxuriant forests and bamboos, and elegant charm of pine trees, it can be seen that it has been carefully taken care of.

He reached out and pushed the door open.The courtyard door is simple, just a wooden door that has been in disrepair for a long time, but it is not dirty at all, and there is no moss growing.

Xie Gui's biological mother is unknown, but she is so valued by the Patriarch.

The courtyard is a beautiful scene in the bright spring of March. Under the moonlight, the pear and apricot blossoms are blooming, and the pieces are stained and slowly falling.

Xie Gui put on thick clothes, prepared two cups of tea, and was sitting under the tree waiting for him.

Feng Zhang raised his eyebrows.

Pretty sensible.

He walked over, picked up a cup and drank.The aroma of tea rushed straight into his throat, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

The skill of making tea is also good, and it is not bad to make some tea for him once in a while when you gather people around.

Xie Gui was unintentionally polite, and cut straight to the point: "Your Highness the Sixth Prince... Your Highness King Ning, why do you have to hold on to Xie?"

His long eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were even brighter under the moonlight.Feng Zhang put the teacup aside, and asked back: "Why is Mr. Xie dissatisfied with the king?"

Xie Gui glanced at him, asking questions knowingly.

The first time the two met in the academy was amazing, but later he found out that Feng Zhang had failed to heal the people around him and had left a mess.In Xie Gui's opinion, this is not enough.

He also didn't realize that Feng Zhang didn't trust him enough back then, and deliberately hid his clumsiness.

The two just sat opposite each other, Feng Zhang wasn't in a hurry.

First of all, Xie Gui always wanted to enter the court, otherwise he would not have found the way to find fragrance.Shiliu had inquired, and said that Xie Gui had inquired about the fifth prince a few days ago, so he must be a favorite candidate.

Second, Xie Gui seems to be more considerate of the Patriarch of the Xie family.Although his subordinates checked the report and found that their father and son were not close, but Fengzhang didn't think so at all when he came here.

The third is that his strength has been shown to Xie Gui, and Xie Gui's attitude has loosened, and he is no longer as decisive as before.It was proof that he was invited to the banquet by the Patriarch of the Xie family.

As he expected, Xie Gui sighed first.

"Your Highness, this is difficult for a strong man."

Feng Zhang raised his eyebrows, "Is it fair to help Fifth Brother?"

Immediately, Xie Gui was speechless.

Even he went to find the fifth prince and found out, what else does he not know?

It was rare to see Xie Gui hesitate to speak, Feng Zhang was in a good mood.

His attitude was firm, and Xie Gui knew that he couldn't hide today, so he lightly rubbed his temples, "Your Highness, it's not that Xie is unwilling to agree, but I'm sorry for being straightforward, what exactly does Your Highness want?"

He didn't think about Fengzhang first in the two lives, it was because His Highness Prince Ning was too idle, but he was not idle like a playboy.

It is said that he has no big ambitions, and he does everything the emperor assigns him to do well, with occasional flashes.He said that he wanted to be the emperor, but he never fought for it, nor did he form a faction, and he would not accept concubines given to him by senior ministers and elders.

But today, Xie Gui happened to see the most powerful side of Feng Zhang, which was also a side that no one else had ever seen.

Xie Gui vaguely felt that he had touched the setup behind the curtain, but it was so vague that he couldn't see clearly.

Feng Zhang didn't answer, but looked at him burningly.Xie Gui suddenly had the feeling of being seen through, and asked him: "A Mingjun?"

Feng Zhang just smiled and said nothing.

"Grand plan hegemony?"

Feng Zhang still didn't move.

"Fame forever?"

Feng Zhang stretched out his long fingers, dipped in the tea, and sketched lightly on the stone table.Xie Gui didn't know that he had such a good memory, but with just two or three strokes, he outlined the entire territory of Shun.

He even carefully pointed out the surrounding untouched places.The Zhai people, the Ying people, and even the southern states, and even the farther seas, all flowed down at his fingertips.

Xie Gui suddenly felt a wave of heat surge up from the soles of his feet, engulfing his whole body in an instant, evoking his imagination that had been destroyed by his previous life.

"None of those." Feng Zhang said in a calm voice, "What this king wants is mountains and rivers thousands of miles away."
