Dayin Golden Gate

Xie Qing had another conversation with Chu Cong. To be precise, it was Chu Cong who spoke most of the time, and Xie Qing only echoed a few words occasionally.

Chu Yu stood aside without saying a word.

Xie Qing felt that Chu Yu was looking at him, but when he looked at Chu Yu, Chu Yu was clearly looking at Chu Cong.He thought it was his own illusion, but the feeling of being watched followed him everywhere.

When Xie Qing bid farewell to Chu Cong, Chu Cong was reluctant to part with him.

Chu Cong is not close to the princes, even the elder brother of the same mother is mostly fearful and not close enough.His previous companions also respected him.When he saw Xie Qing today, he felt that his attitude towards him was different from others, so he wanted to become friends with Xie Qing.But the two were about to separate soon after meeting, he couldn't help but tugged on Xie Qing's sleeve, refusing to let go.

The little eunuch persuaded: "Your Highness Seventh, Mr. Xie is going back today, and will come to the palace to study with you early tomorrow morning."

Only then did Chu Cong let go of Xie Qing's sleeve, "Tomorrow...I'll wait for you."

"Yes, Your Highness Seventh." Xie Qing smiled.

Xie Qing left the palace and returned to Xie Mansion.

There was already a person in the mansion who was waiting for a rabbit, and when he saw Xie Qing returning to the mansion, he went up to meet him, "I came yesterday, and your maid said that you had fallen asleep. Now you have become the prince's companion, and it is better to see you than before." Difficult."

"I'm just a prince's companion, how dare I put on an air in front of you, the prince's companion." Xie Qing sighed in his heart, it's really a blessing or a curse, a disaster that can't be avoided.

The person in front of him was Pei Hongjian, the eldest son of the Pei family.

Pei Hongjian's face was full of color, but he said modestly: "I have no talent or virtue, I'm afraid I will disappoint His Royal Highness's favor."

"You are too modest." Xie Qing made a "please" gesture, "You and I are standing here, and others will see that they must say that I have neglected the guests, so why not move to the main room."

"It's better to obey than to be respectful." Pei Hongjian followed Xie Qing into the main room.

The two sat down, Wan Jing served tea for them.

Wan Jing's appearance was not above average, but she was superior in her demeanor and gentle temperament, which made Pei Hongjian take a second look.

Xie Qing took the lead and said: "If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, why is Brother Pei here?"

"Since my virtuous brother said so, then I'll be blunt." Pei Hongjian said solemnly, "I'm here for my virtuous brother's bright future."

"Oh?" Xie Qing was noncommittal.

Seeing Xie Qingyun's indifferent look, Pei Hongjian felt a little disappointed.He adjusted his wording, trying to impress Xie Qing, "Although the virtuous brother has become the companion of the seventh prince, there are six princes above the seventh prince, and the elder and younger are orderly."

"I have met the Seventh Prince today, and the Seventh Prince is so innocent and straightforward, it's really rare." Xie Qing wanted to change the topic to another direction.

Pei Hongjian failed to comprehend Xie Qing's thoughts, so he continued on his own, "His Royal Highness is the heir apparent, with a gentle and generous personality. He has heard about the reputation of the good brother, and he intends to make friends with you. Brother Yu, don't you?" Cai, willing to be a matchmaker between you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xie Qing pondered for a long time, and said, "Is it the intention of His Royal Highness that you come today?"

"This is my own idea. You and I are both descendants of the family, and Qin and Jin are good friends, so Brother Yu is willing to take care of you." Pei Hongjian sighed in his heart that his words were beautiful. There is no reason not to agree.

Xie Qing breathed a sigh of relief, since it was not the prince's intention, then this matter will be handled easily.However, he had already expected that, because in his impression, Prince Chu Yan was not a person who formed a clique for private interests, so Pei Hongjian's coming here was [-]% of his own idea, and he wanted Xie Qing to be a part of him relying on the prince. Vote certificate.Pei Hongjian was obviously deceiving Xie Qing's ignorance. He didn't know that Xie Qing's immature appearance was actually an adult inside.

"His Royal Highness, I have also admired him for a long time." Xie Qing paused, "However, I am already the companion of the Seventh Prince. Your Majesty Guadain Li, I still need to discuss this matter with the Seventh Prince."

Pei Hongjian's expression changed, "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to serve. It is understandable."

"What seems understandable to Brother Pei, but to me, it's a matter of great importance." Xie Qing's face was full of seriousness.

Pei Hongjian said displeasedly: "I didn't expect that Xie Qing, you are such a pedantic person." He didn't even call his virtuous brother, which showed that he was really anxious.

"The reason why I treat Brother Pei with courtesy is because Pei and Xie's family are in the same spirit. If someone else spoke to me like this, I would have asked someone to cross it out." Xie Qing simply talked to Pei Hong Gradually tore the skin.

"Farewell!" Pei Hongjian walked away.

When Pei Hongjian was leaving, he met Liujing.

"Who upset Mr. Pei?" Liu Jing smacked his tongue.

Pei Hongjian said angrily, "Ask your master!"

Liu Jing looked at Pei Hongjian's leaving back, and also lowered his face.She walked into the main room and complained: "That Mr. Pei is really well-bred, and he doesn't even look at this place, and let him act wild!" Today's actions broke his image in her heart.

The Pei and Xie families are among the aristocratic families. Although they are equally famous, the Xie family is actually slightly above the Pei family.

"Let him go, after all he is my mother's nephew." Xie Qing took a sip of tea.

Liu Jing was still indignant, "He is just Madam's nephew, even if Madam's own brother came, he would not be so presumptuous."

"Stop saying a few words." Wan Jing stretched out her finger and poked Liu Jing's forehead, "I see you as the most presumptuous one in front of the young master."

Liu Jing stuck out her tongue and didn't speak again.

Wan Jing asked while tidying up Pei Hongjian's untouched tea, "What about the reward brought back by the young master?"

"Put the whisk in the storeroom, and put the Buddhist beads... in my room." Xie Qing never expected that his party in the palace would actually get a reward from the sixth prince, because the unhappiness Pei Hongjian brought was somewhat diluted by it.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Liu Jing took out a letter from his pocket, "Master, a letter from Mr. Guigu."

Xie Qing took the letter, opened it and read it carefully.

Xie Qing told Guiguzi in his previous letter that he was about to go to Beijing to serve as the companion of the Seventh Prince.In Guiguzi's reply letter, Guiguzi said that he had a close friend in the capital and asked Xie Qing to visit him.

Xie Qing knew that the so-called entrusting him to visit was actually asking this close friend to take care of him, so he couldn't help being very moved.

Guiguzi's close friend is Xie Kuigu, a servant of the court, not only has a high position and authority, but also enjoys a high reputation among scholars.He has served two emperors, and Xie Qing knows that he will serve a third one.A person who stands upright for three dynasties and never falls is definitely not a simple person.

Xie Qing put the letter back into the envelope, "I'm going out later, prepare the carriage and horses for me."

"Yes, master." Wan Jing took the order and left.

Liu Jing asked knowingly, "Young Master, are you going out?"

Xie Qing knew that Liu Jing was implying that he would take her out together, so he shook his head, "You take a good look at the house."

Liu Jing puffed up her cheeks, looking very cute and cute, "I'm at home, I'm so bored, and my sister Wan Jing doesn't allow me to go out. She said that she doesn't know the place in the capital, and she's afraid that I might get lost."

"I'll take you out when I'm free later." Xie Qing made a promise.

The flowing scenery unfolds like a spring flower, "Don't forget, young master."

Xie Qing smiled and said: "I promised you, which time did I break my promise?"

"Master, the carriage is ready." Wan Jing walked in slowly.

Xie Qing went out and got into the carriage.

The coachman asked, "Where is the young master going?"

"Go to Master Shizhong's mansion." Xie Qing closed his eyes and meditated.

Not long after, the carriage drove to Jiefu.

Xie Mansion is not big, it is not small, but compared to Jie Cuigu's status, it is a little shabby.

Xie Qing got out of the carriage, knocked on the door, handed the invitation card to the servant, and then stood at the door in a dignified manner, waiting for Xie Kuanggu to receive him.

"Hahaha, there should be a cool breeze under the pine tree." Xie Kuanggu personally went out to greet Xie Qing. He had a purple face and a voice like a bell, looking very hale and hearty.

The so-called Chang Matsushita should have a cool breeze, which means that Mr. Guigu is very talented and knowledgeable. Xie Qing is his disciple, so he is naturally not bad.

Xie Qing clasped his hands and said: "See Sir Sizhong."

"You don't need to be formal, you don't need to be polite." Xie Kuanggu stroked his short beard, "Your temperament is not like your teacher, but your teacher is never polite to me."

Xie Qing smiled and said, "Master asked me to say hello to Mr. Xie."

"You are too far-fetched. Since you are a disciple of Guigu, just call me Xie Lao." Xie Quanggu looked at Xie Qing, Aiwujiwu, and loved him more and more, "Come, come, come with me."

"Then I'll take the liberty of calling you out." Xie Qing followed.

Xie Kuanggu led Xie Qing through the main room and into the inner room, obviously not treating him as an outsider.He sat down first, and then called Xie Qing to sit down.

Xie Qing was not polite to Xie Quangu either, and sat down calmly.

Xie Kuanggu showed a look of reminiscence, "I have known your teacher for decades. When he was in Prince Qi's mansion, your teacher talked eloquently and shocked the four feasts. Now he is far away from the rivers and lakes, and I live in the temple. We haven't seen each other for seven years." After speaking, he let out a long sigh.

Xie Kuanggu talked about some old things with Xie Qing, and then chatted about calligraphy and painting.

Xie Quegu was not only a powerful official, but also a master of calligraphy and painting.Relying on Xie Qing's understanding of "Chu's Spring and Autumn Annals", he also knew Xie Quegu's preferences very well, and what he said made Xie Quegu nod repeatedly.

It wasn't until before parting that Xie Quegu said meaningfully: "I heard that you are reading with the Seventh Prince. Simply being a reading companion is not bad."

Xie Quegu's words imply that Xie Qing should not get involved in the battle for the reserve position.But Xie Qing could only appreciate Xie Quang's kindness.Xie Qing had no choice but to wade through the muddy waters of the reserve position battle.
