Xie Xiang

The snow fell suddenly and violently, and there was a thick layer of snow on the tiles, and the eaves seemed to be low.

Xie Wen couldn't notice the lingering words in Xie Xiang's words for a while, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.Xie Yi has already brought a white porcelain vase, inserted the flowers, the red plums reflected the white porcelain, making it more tender.

The white porcelain bottle is on the table.Xie Yi dipped his brush in the ink, and then leaned over the desk again.Her fu is about to be completed, and she adds figures, so she puts down her pen and ink.

Xie Wen was still thinking about the meaning of his aunt's worrying words just now?

Xie Yi aired the bamboo slips, then rolled them up and put them in a silk bag.The bag was made just enough to accommodate a roll of bamboo slips, not too big or too small, just right.Xie Yi put it on, and seeing Xie Wenzheng in a daze, she said to him gently, "Give this plum tree to me as a gift. I also have a few plum trees at home, and they will bloom in the next two days. If you want, come and pick some plum blossoms." .”

Xie Wen hurriedly said, "I'm afraid it's not right."

Whatever his aunt wanted from him, he only offered it with both hands, so there was no reason why he would not want it.But this plum was given by His Majesty after all, if it is given as a gift, it will inevitably be disrespectful, if it is known to others, there will be a disturbance.

"It's okay." Xie Yi wrote lightly, handing the bag to him, "Your Majesty gave you plum blossoms, if you don't give it in return, it would be rude, this is a gift I just made, and you send it to Weiyang Palace as a gift in return. "

Xie Wen was even more at a loss, "But Your Majesty can read my aunt's handwriting, how can I use it as a gift in return?"

Xie Yi didn't answer, but waved her hands and said with a smile, "Go."

Confused, full of doubts.When Xie Wen left the prime minister's mansion, he always felt that something was wrong.While the snow was still falling, the servants offered coir raincoats and bamboo hats, Xie Wen was fully dressed, got on his horse, and went to Weiyang Palace.

On the road, I met the drivers of Zong Zhengqing and Ting Wei.When I saw him, I stopped the car and greeted him, "Your gentleman, hurry up, where do you want to go?"

Seeing the two of them, Xie Wen didn't dare to take the big one, so he reined in the reins, and bowed his hands to the two of them as a salute, "The boy wants to enter the palace, where will the two elders go?"

Zong Zhengqing laughed and said, "It's still early, Tingwei and I want to go out of the city to see the snow, and the Marquis of Fenyin just left the palace, why did we go back to the palace?"

Xie Wen faltered for a while, but didn't know how to answer.Li Wen had sharp eyes, saw the bag containing the bamboo slips, and asked, "What is this?"

He asked a question, which made it easier for Xie Wen to answer. He said vaguely, "Your Majesty has a gift of plums. This is a gift from a new work. I sent it to the palace as a gift in return."

It is indeed a gift from the new work, and it is indeed a return gift, both of which are true, but this gift is not made by him.Xie Wen was very uncomfortable, but because what Xie Yi said was just a gift, it was hard to tell the truth.

His uneasiness, in the eyes of Zongzheng and Tingwei, made him shy.

Zong Zheng smiled and stroked his beard, nodded again and again, and said with great satisfaction, "Okay, I don't think a gentleman is good at fighting, and he is also good at literary talent. He is really a young hero. Go, go, don't make Your Majesty wait for a long time."

Xie Wen wondered what he was so happy about, but he seemed to have malicious intentions, and was about to test a few words, but Zong Zheng had already urged the steward to wave his whip and go away.

The snowy road is slippery, and the carriages and horses are not moving fast.Going out of the city at this time is actually a bit hasty.But when the interest comes, I can't care whether I'm in a hurry or not, I just want to take the time to go and go back to my heart's content.

Another good thing happened on the road, Zongzheng's face was red and he smiled complacently.He was happy for a long time, and suddenly thought of why Tingwei was so quiet, he took out the feather fan out of nowhere, pressed Li Wen's arm, and said, "What's the matter?"

Li Wen pushed aside his fan and remained silent.

Zongzheng thought about it, and said with a smile, "Why bother me?" Then he persuaded him, "What's wrong with the Marquis of Fenyin? You can't take your anger out on the younger generation just because you are fighting with the prime minister. It's rare for your majesty to take a fancy to someone, so hurry up and match him up." That's it."

Your Majesty really doesn't look down on anyone, and it will be troublesome if he makes the second heir of the country, and Liang Ji messes up again.

Li Wen was tired of him, so he knocked on the car door, and the driver stopped the car when he heard the sound.Li Wen said coldly, "You go to watch the snow yourself, so I won't accompany you."

Zong Zhengzheng was talking excitedly, seeing Li Wen's appearance, he said anxiously, "I'm so angry."

Li Wen had already opened the door and went out, Zong Zheng hurriedly chased after him, saying repeatedly, "Ting Wei stay here."

Li Wen boarded the car straight away and ordered the emperor to drive away.

This world is really confusing and confusing.Zong Zhengqing sighed, alone, watching the snow was boring, so he also ordered to go back home.It's just that Ting Wei looks like this, so don't mention His Majesty's marriage to him in the future, it's just a joke on weekdays, if you really offend him, it's hard to deal with it.

Xie Wen bid farewell to the two of them and thought about it all the way until he entered the palace, only to realize that this was not his gift in return, it was clearly from his aunt, and His Majesty's plum blossoms were not given to him, but were passed on to his aunt. .

He looked weird, why didn't he say it clearly, he was so tired that he thought about it all the way.

Weiyang Palace became more simple and vigorous in the heavy snow.Xie Wen is an upstart, the hottest figure now, and when he enters the palace, there are eunuchs to guide him.

After the banquet, Liu Zao suddenly became interested to see the tributes from various countries.

Wine has always been an elegant thing, so there is often a lot of fine wine among the tributes.Hu Ao was at the side introducing it eloquently, "This wine was imported from the Dawan Kingdom. It is dark red in color, has a mellow aroma, and is as sweet as grapes. A bottle of wine glass was also presented with the wine. It is called a luminous glass, made of jasper. Green as emerald green, the cup is as thin as paper, pouring wine into the cup, it is as bright as a mirror, and the wine is mellow and smooth, like a pool of spring water wrinkled in the pool of too much liquid, elegant and boundless."

While he was talking, the officials of the palm storehouse had found the luminous cup and held it in front of Liu Zao.Liu Zao took it and looked at it. It was really clear in color and smooth as water. If you look at it at night, it must be unparalleled.She ordered wine to show her again.

The wine seems to be divided into seven urns, but in fact the urns are as small as a jug, only seven jugs left.

Liu Zao opened a urn, and smelled it closely, the aroma of the wine came to his nostrils, and he felt drunk when he smelled it, it was really fine wine.An eunuch offered an ear cup, Liu Zao poured a cup, took a sip, it was cold.

The mouthfeel is mellow and smooth, with a mellow taste and a lingering sweetness.Liu Zao thinks it's delicious, but regrets that it's cold. I don't know if I can drink it after warming it up. Drinking cold wine in winter will always be cold, which may not be good for maintenance.

She had just regretted it, and a warm feeling slowly grew in her stomach.Unlike the intense heat after drinking strong alcohol, this heat is soaked in warm water, like slightly rippling ripples, spreading from the abdomen to the whole body, bringing a burst of laziness, which is very comfortable.

Liu Zao couldn't help but retreated and sat on the couch, stretched his hands and feet, and looked down at the wine glass.

The official in charge of the internal treasury came forward and said, "The envoy and minister of the Dawan Kingdom talked about this wine in detail. The King of Dawan knows that the Central Plains pays attention to health preservation. This wine has a warm taste and has the effect of maintenance. Due to the complicated brewing process, only seven wines are made a year. Send all the urns to Chang'an, and wish the saints ten thousand years and eternal youth."

Liu Zao is particularly sensitive to the word youth, she asked, "What is the name of this wine?"

The official replied, "The name of the wine is Sauvignon Blanc. It was taken by a Han Chinese who served in the court of Dawan."

Xie Wen arrived at this time.

Men, especially men in their twenties, who are full of vigor, don't love wine.The border is bitterly cold, and he warms up with wine. Xie Wen looks handsome and elegant, but after several years in the border, he loves to drink.

He smelled the wine and knew it must be good wine. After saluting, he asked, "Your Majesty is tasting wine."

As soon as Liu Zao came in, he noticed what was in his hand, and responded casually, asking, "What is in your hand?"

After Xie Wen figured it out, he didn't realize what was going on, it was just that the Holy Majesty and his aunt asked him to run errands and be a messenger.He presented the bamboo slips and said, "It's a new Fu."

Liu Zao took it, took out the bamboo slips from the bag, and didn't open them immediately, but looked at them for a while, as if because of the handwriting on them, the ordinary bamboo slips themselves seemed precious.

Xie Wen's feeling that something was wrong grew stronger.He didn't say who wrote this Fu, but His Majesty knew about it, that's all right, but it's just a Fu, my aunt has a brilliant literary talent, she can be called a master of rhetoric, but she doesn't have much talent in Fu, she is only average, Your Majesty has her work, so why cherish it.

He always felt that it was unusual, and there was some clue, but this clue was really frightening, and he didn't dare to think deeply.

Liu Zao opened it up a bit, only read a question, then smiled, closed it again, and wanted to read it carefully when no one was around.She glanced at Xie Wen, she used to think that this kid was very annoying, and she snatched him to thank her, now it seems that it is indeed useful, not only for her to hinder the eyes of the officials, so that the officials will no longer disturb the marriage, And it can also be a messenger, delivering news for her and Prime Minister Xie.

Liu Zao felt that his heart was warmed up, and he said very kindly, "It's cold in the sky, please drink a glass of fine wine to get rid of the cold."

There are only seven urns of sauvignon blanc, one urn is only one pot, and one pot is only two cups.She had just poured a glass, and now she gave the rest of the glass to Xie Wen.Xie Wenzheng was terrified, when he heard the emperor gave him wine, he subconsciously took it, and after drinking it, he felt amazed.

It's a pity that there is only one cup, and three or two mouthfuls are gone.Xie Wen was about to move, and looked at the rest.

Liu Zao ordered someone to fetch a piece of wood. The wooden stick was very thin, with plum blossoms engraved on the corner, which was specially used in the palace for writing name cards.Liu Zao took the pen and ink and wrote a few words on it.After finishing writing, he blew on the ink and saw that Xie Wen's eyes were full, so he asked with a smile, "Do you want it?"

Xie Wen was a little afraid of her because of the astonishing idea he had just had, so he nodded slightly, not daring to say more.

Liu Zao got up, tied the written wooden stick to the wine urn with his own hands, put the wine urn and the luminous cup into the wooden box, and said, "This is not possible, this is for thanking the prime minister, you take it back for me, and I will take it back." You can choose from the wine in the cellar.”

Xie Wen was already terrified, and when he heard her intimate words, he became even more flustered, fearing that the guess would turn out to be true, he said, "I dare not."

Liu Zao stopped talking to him and waved his hand to signal that he could go.

Xie Wen then came back from the palace.

He returned to Xiangfu in a daze, when the snow had stopped and the wind was still blowing.Xie Yi was wearing a snow-white fur coat, watching the snow in the courtyard.

Knowing that he was waiting for him to come back, Xie Wen honestly offered the six urns of wine, hesitantly looking at Xie Yi, full of thoughts.

He has a simple mind, Xie Yi can't fail to see it.She accepted the wine, and this time she didn't hide from him, and said bluntly, "I won't destroy the country, I won't harm the common people. She and I are only wishful thinking, and we have no other intentions."

Xie Wen was surprised, and then became angry, "How could my aunt, how could... this, this is too much..."

This is absurd, if it spreads out, the Xie family won't have any face. He has a lot of ugly words, but he can't say anything when he looks at Xie Yi. He neither dares to say nor bears to say it. flushed.

Frankly speaking with him, one is that he needs to cooperate in the future, and the other is that among the many relatives of the Xie family, he is the closest to her.

But his angry and disgusted eyes are really chilling.

Xie Yi didn't blame him. Anyone who listened to such a thing would despise it.She said gently, "You've been running around all day and you're tired, so go home."

Xie Wen refused to leave, Xie Yi said again, "Go back."

He has lived in the prime minister's mansion for more than ten years. Almost as long as he can remember, he has studied and practiced martial arts in front of his aunt to become an official. In the past, he was only called back when he came here, but now his aunt wants him to go back elsewhere.Xie Wen felt alienated and even more angry. He quickly said "It's really dirty." Then he flung his sleeves and left.

There will always be such a thing, Wen'er is like this, I don't know what outsiders will think.

Drenched in snow, Xie Yi stood in the courtyard for a while before stepping into the room.

The wine brought from the palace was neatly stacked in one place.Xie Yi opened the top box and took out the wine jar inside.A piece of wooden stick was hung on the wine urn.The aroma of wood is accompanied by the fragrance of ink, which is especially clear and pleasant in snowy weather.She pinched the wooden stick and turned the side with the handwriting in front of her eyes. Seeing the handwriting on it, she couldn't help smiling softly.The three characters of Sauvignon Blanc are written in a gentle and lingering way, touching people's hearts.

Liu Zao in the palace also returned to the announcement room, she shunned the palace people, took out the bamboo slips from her bosom, and carefully spread them out, reading each word with great detail.

On the far right side of the bamboo slips, Xie Yi's handwriting is neat and elegant, and the name of this fu is written - Acacia Fu.
