Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 16 Unfairness
Since ancient times, people have used music to express their emotions. Everyone stared at Xie Xian blankly. In their eyes, this young lady had a distant aura and indifferent eyebrows. It seemed that she would be born in the next moment.
Xie An looked at the rising sun and couldn't help squinting his eyes, clenching his fists behind his back.
Cui Jing and the other sons of powerful families had bright eyes and were glad in their hearts that this was the essence of the music. Cui Jing took the tooth fan handed over by Qi Ya and lowered his head with a faint smile.
"Jinnian, you can consider me for yesterday's proposal." Although her status is not enough to be a wife, but based on this song, the talent of the girl from the Xie family is worthy of the position of concubine of the eldest son of the Cui family.
Xie An glanced at him indifferently and said, "You don't want to." Then he turned and left.
Cui Jing laughed: "I am very sincere." He looked at the figure on the deck and thought for a long time, then pouted ~ How can I hear this song more often!
Then he thought, Xie An is even more obsessed with music than he is, could it be that? Forget it, as long as he follows Jinnian closely, he still has a chance. In the clan, most of the nobles follow their hearts, and it is even more difficult to restrain themselves when it comes to women.
After sending away several groups of young men who came to ask questions, Zhi Mo bowed and replied, "I have already replied to several young men. When they heard that it was the Lady of the Xie Family, they did not bother her. They just asked whether the Lady would participate in the discussion at the meeting."
Xie An murmured "Hmm", and turned around, holding the teacup tightly in his hand. But after a while, he gently put it down. He would not fall in the same place twice.
In the distance, the sail was sailing away against the river surface, and the sound of drum music could be faintly heard. Without even saying goodbye, Xie Xian left in a very elegant manner.
His voice was a little low. "Where's Wang Sanlang?"
Zhi Mo felt his scalp tingling: "Mr. Wang San did not get off the boat, I guess he went with them."
With a bang, the cup in his hand fell on the table. Xie An lowered his eyes and watched the cup fall on the table and spin around, then he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.
He turned around and said in a gentle voice, "Tell Wang Zhi about the good things his third brother has done."
Zhi Mo responded in a low voice, "Tsk tsk." It was always Cui Lang who liked to complain, and my own Lang never bothered to do such things. Now it seemed that my own Lang had not been offended. I mourned for Wang Sanlang in my heart for a moment, and I didn't know what expression Wang Dalang would have when he saw the letter.
Everyone separated in Jingzhou. Along the way, Xie Xian sang new songs continuously. Blue Star had so many beautiful songs. When they got off the boat, Wang Sanlang was reluctant to leave but he had to go back. They were about to enter the Fengjiang section. She really couldn't bear to leave the symphony that Sister Xian mentioned, as well as all kinds of lively drum beats, something called Disco.
There was no way to get him to agree, so he had to wait for his friends to go together.
Xie Xian asked him to send Jin Mingrui to his uncle's house in Jingzhou City. The name of the Qinghe Wang family was still quite useful. Xiaocaoer lay in Jin Mingrui's arms and blinked and waved at Qingdai. The Hua family also got off the boat and took the land route. You Ji was let out by Xie Xian to see the world, saying that he would come back to find her after attending the Qingtan Festival.
"Sister Xian, I will come to see you when I get back. Will you attend the discussion this time?" After three days of getting along with each other, Wang Yao no longer had any thoughts about Xie Xian. In his mind, Xie Xian had advanced from a fairy to a goddess who could not be desecrated.
I don’t know how Mrs. Xie has so many beautiful songs. After asking, I found out that Hua Yin and the others came from Kangjian, and they have never heard these songs before.
Facing his curiosity, Xie Xian said directly that it was her fellow apprentices who did it, and she was just copying them. This song should only exist in heaven, and it has only been heard a few times in the world. Facing her explanation, Hua Yin and Wang Yao looked like they knew it.
Tu Zhen twitched her lips. I, Tu, the scapegoat, will not give in. After the last time, Xie Xian did not mean to blame her, but she still felt a little awkward, because she knew that Xie Xian just didn't care, and didn't even care about her own life, so how could she expect her to care about a woman's reputation.
And after two or three days of observation, Xie Xian no longer cared about the strict rules between men and women. Although she treated Wang Sanlang like a younger brother, various signs in her daily life showed that Xie Xian was still the same. In her eyes, everyone was treated equally, regardless of gender, status.
Tu Zhen admired this kind of heart. She asked herself that even her master had never done this. She became more and more curious about Xie Xian's background. She thought that she would not be a wicked person to compose a song like "Victory". Moreover, she remembered deeply in her heart that when the girl finished singing the soul-shaking sound and turned around, she looked so high and mighty that she looked down on the world. It made people kneel down and worship her, as if she were a god.
This is definitely not a demon, so what is she? Looking at the lazy girl rolling on the couch, Tu Zhen shook his head and looked up at the sky. It must be an illusion.
How could a weak little girl have any bad intentions?
After seeing off Jin Dalang and Wang Yao, Xie Xian and his party went upstream into the Fengyao River section in the upper reaches of the Huai River. When they got here, they entered the Xie family's sphere of influence. Chenliu is several hundred miles southeast of Que County. It would take about 4-5 days to get there by ox cart after landing.
Xie Xian lay on the soft pillow and didn't want to move. The road condition here was better than outside Kangjian City, but the dirt road was still bumpy. But the farmers in the countryside looked much better than Kangjian. Looking up, she saw a strange road leading straight to the sky. It seems that the land being annexed by the aristocratic families is not without benefits. After all, if it is dispersed, it is impossible to build such a straight road that is close to the appearance of a highway. The vast Yu traces are divided into nine states, and the nine roads are connected. It seems that the Xie clan still has something.
When they arrived at their own territory, Qingdai became active, and there were chirping sounds all along the way. Xie Xian wanted to know more about the clan, so she could only listen quietly and nod in agreement occasionally.
Most of the ox carts passing by were from nobles and other clans, but the villagers were not too awed by them.
Xie Xian's gray carriage was not very eye-catching. If it weren't for the fat and strong ox pulling the carriage, it would have been checked by the patrolling soldiers. The queue to enter the city was the most annoying. Finally, Xie Xian was so impatient that she hung up the Xie family's golden badge and enjoyed the unimpeded aristocratic treatment.
Que County is close to the wharf. Warriors patrolling the streets are wearing grey leather armor. The common people have ruddy complexions and mostly wear linen clothes. The city is bustling with people.
After finally arriving at the place where they could have breakfast, Qingdai couldn't wait to count on her fingers whether she would have steamed buns, wontons, or hot pot or soup. Seeing her counting the dishes like this, Xie Xian curled the corners of her mouth.
The air was filled with the aroma of food and the sweet smell of autumn fruits such as mountain peaches. Xie Xian had no habit of mistreating herself, so she bought a bunch of snacks and planned to eat them slowly in the car. The villagers here had a heavy accent, but she could understand them, and there was also Qingdai, a know-it-all.
They found a restaurant that looked upscale and planned to have a good meal. Xie Xian curled her lips and did not comment on this wooden two-story building.
Sitting down in the box, Xie Xian leaned against the window and took a sip of tea. She didn't plan to eat too much, but she needed to drink plenty of water. She had felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach since she arrived in Que County. She didn't expect that the discomfort caused by the local climate was so severe.
The sanitary conditions in ancient times were just like that. This was also because she had come all the way here by water, and the jump was too big. If she had come here by ox cart at a snail's pace, she probably wouldn't have felt anything when she got here.
She put down her hat, leaned against the window and looked down. There was a strong smell of fireworks. It would have been even better if there was no noise nearby.
From the private room next to him came the sound of a woman crying and a man scolding faintly. The door opened, and Tu Zhen frowned as she looked over. The waiter was putting dishes on the table with a smiling face. When he saw that the table was full of female guests, he was stunned for a moment before regaining his composure and said in a gentle voice, "Enjoy your time, ladies. All the dishes are here."
Qingdai glanced out through the open door and asked, "How do we catch them over there?" Seeing that she spoke in the local dialect, the waiter became less restrained and glanced outside and whispered.
"What a miserable woman! Her husband has cheated her of the betrothal gift and has ignored her and her baby." She spoke in a rural accent quickly and urgently. Only Qingdai understood what she said, while Xie Xian and Tu Zhen looked surprised.
After the waiter left, Qingdai slowly said that Que County was not big, and that girl was the daughter of the Xie family. Her family was well-off, but she met the wrong man when she was young. She had a secret affair with a scholar, and her parents had no choice but to marry her off. Unexpectedly, the scholar was an ungrateful person. Seeing that she had no brothers in her family, he asked her for money every day. He didn't take care of her at home, but just took the money to go out and have fun. Recently, for some reason, he even raised a sister outside, and was discovered by Cai. She was so angry that she followed her to the restaurant, and her husband was scolded for being humiliated.
Qingdai said angrily, "That woman was too ashamed to go back to see her parents because of something that happened when she was young, and now she is being held hostage by a bastard." Her little face puffed up like a bun.
As they ate and chatted, Qingdai repeated what the waiter had said just now, and finally said hesitantly to Xie Xian: "Then Cai Xie is the daughter of the second wife." So the lady can intervene.
Xie Xian put down her chopsticks without even raising her eyelids: "What a poor woman." Xie Xian knew what Qingdai meant. In the clan, brothers would always step forward for such matters. If there were no relatives, then a clan member with a higher status would step forward, and Xie Xian was the eldest son of the second branch.
Although she was the eldest daughter and could theoretically handle this matter, there were too many cases of people being sued for domestic violence in the modern world. Xie Xian didn't want to care about such boring things at all. It was better to save herself than to expect others to save her. If the Cai Xie family couldn't stand up on their own, she wouldn't have to help.
Tu Zhen stared at Xie Xian and frowned. Xie Xian always had a kind of indifference in her bones. She didn't know where this feeling came from. She finally returned to her hometown. This was the best opportunity to establish her reputation, even if it was just a gesture.
But Xie Xian didn't care at all. She didn't show any respect for her clan, nor did she show any affection for her hometown. Xie Xian was like a traveler, and you never knew where her heart was.
Xie Xian: It’s another day when I want to go back to Blue Star.
