Years passed slowly, and in 643 BC, just after the Qingming Festival, Wu Xie, who was ten years old, was called back to the Hou Mansion for the first time.

One month before being recalled to the Hou Mansion.

At dusk that day, Wu Xie was playing with Zhang Qiling on the flute in the courtyard of the West Chamber. On a whim, he asked for Zhang Qiling's emerald jade flute to play in his hand, and asked Zhang Qiling to teach him how to play it. Grasping it firmly, the jade flute slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Of course Wu Xie knew what that flute meant to Zhang Qiling, so he immediately picked up the broken flute and kept apologizing to Zhang Qiling.But Zhang Qiling just shook his head, and comforted him in turn: "It's okay!" After that day, Yuan Ling left the State Secretary's Mansion, and did not come back until more than half a month later.During the period, Wu Xie chopped off a black bamboo in the yard because of guilt, and with the help of Feng Ziji, he made a bamboo flute for Zhang Qiling again.Because it was made by a master, the tone of that bamboo flute is actually very clear and clear, it can be regarded as a masterpiece among flutes.

After Yuan Bing came back, he carried a long object wrapped in linen with one hand and went directly to the west chamber.At that time Zhang Qiling was playing chess with Wu Xie on the stone table, when he saw his adoptive father coming in, Zhang Qiling hurriedly got up and went to meet him.

"Ling'er, come into the house quickly, and see what foster father brought you?" Yuan Zhen said to Zhang Qiling a little excitedly, and then entered the wing.

"Yes, adoptive father!" Zhang Qiling replied, turning his head to signal Wu Xie to go with him.

Entering the house, I saw Yuan Yan put the long object wrapped in linen on the table, and then took apart the linen.It turned out that the sackcloth was wrapped with a piece of Lantian jade, and it was a piece of deep lake green, transparent and less flawed, with excellent color and luster.Seeing the shape of the stone clearly, Zhang Qiling immediately understood Yuan Ling's intention, and immediately, his eyes were moistened with a trace of warm liquid.

It turned out that when Na Yuanping was passing by the west chamber, he happened to see Wu Xie and accidentally broke the jade flute. He was afraid that Zhang Qiling would be sad, so he set off the next day to Landi, the famous hometown of beautiful jade, intending to give Zhang Qiling Find a rough stone that can be made into a jade flute.It was spring, which was one of the best times of the year for picking blue-field jade (autumn was the second best time of year for picking blue-field jade). , found this piece of stone that seemed to be born to be made into a jade flute.

Yuan Yu secretly thanked God in his heart for allowing him to find such a suitable rough stone.Then he hurried back to Weiguo, as soon as he arrived at the mansion, he rushed to look for Zhang Qiling excitedly, seeing that the child was so moved by him that his eyes were blurred with tears, Yuan Zhen was already satisfied.Patted Zhang Qiling on the shoulder and said: "Ling'er, foster father passed by the west chamber that day and saw that the jade flute left by your father broke." He pointed to the original stone and said: "Use this as your own Let's make another one! Although it can't be compared with your father's one, it's still the foster father's wish!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qiling suppressed the emotion of wanting to cry, forced a smile and thanked Yuan Xi: "Thank you foster father!"

Yuan Yanfu patted Zhang Qiling on the shoulder again, and left.

A few days later, after Yuan Zhen went to court to meet Duke Wen of Wei, he brought news that Duke Wen of Wei wanted to call Wu Xie back to the Marquis Mansion.

At that time, Zhang Qiling was carving his jade flute. After hearing the news, although he was extremely reluctant to part with Wu Xie, he had no way to do anything about it.

Wu Xie didn't expect that he would be called back. Since he was three years old, he came to the State Secretary's Mansion, and never went back to the Hou's Mansion. He already regarded this place as his home in his heart.Now that they were about to leave, they were also very reluctant and helpless, and dragged Zhang Qiling around the Guoqing Mansion several times, and finally, the two of them stopped at the swing in the backyard.

It’s another year when the locust blossoms are fragrant, and the two teenagers are sitting together again, on the swing under the two old locust trees, thinking about each other, how happy they were when they had the swing, but now they are It's gone, the sadness of parting that can no longer be suppressed at this moment.

The two were reminiscing about the fleeting years together, Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling who was planting not far away, and sighed with emotion at the paulownia paulownia that was about to bloom: "Oh, I thought I would catch cicadas with Ling in summer, it seems, not There must be a chance!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qiling's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't tell Wu Xie.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day, when Wu Xie's nurse had packed everything up and was about to call Wu Xie to go, that Zhang Qiling asked Wu Xie to stretch out his hand to flatten his palm, and then put something on it.Wu Xie saw that it was a jade cicada about one inch long and more than half an inch wide. It took Zhang Qiling two days to carve it out of a part of the head of the ginger flower jade.

Originally, for Zhang Qiling, who had long been familiar with carving skills, it was no problem to carve a jade cicada.But this was just for Wu Xie, so he put more thought into it, sculpting the cicada's wings vividly, so that the deep lake green, which was originally somewhat transparent, looked almost transparent like a cicada's wings , and left a small space between Yuchan's two swollen eyes to drill a round hole, and threaded a red string into it so that Wu Xie could wear it around her neck.

Wu Xie looked at the exquisite jade cicada, and immediately fell in love with it, and quickly asked Zhang Qiling to put it on for him.He also said that he will always remember that this is the jade cicada given to him by Ling.But who would have expected that many years later, one evening under the setting sun, when he was lying in a pool of his own blood in the forest, with his last ounce of consciousness, he looked at the jade jade that he had torn off from its neck and spread in his hand? Cicada Shi, actually can't remember who it is related to.

Perhaps, the reason why God arranged for the two of them to meet was to arrange another eternal oblivion for them!

After returning to Hou's mansion, Wu Xie saw that Wu Shu was also there, presumably Jun father also summoned him back together.When Wei Chenggong saw his child whom he hadn't seen in seven years, he was so excited that he hugged Wu Xie in front of all the ministers and started crying.This shows how much he loves this son, and of course Wu Shu watched all of this.

Wei Wengong said sadly: "My son finally returned to my Marquis Mansion today. Do you know how much Junfu has missed you all these years?"

"Father!" Wu Xie was also infected by Wei Wengong, crying.

"If it hadn't been for less than ten years since the founding of our country of Wei, the foundation has not yet been firmly established. Your father would have learned the lessons of the subjugation of the country, improved political affairs, reorganized armaments, saved and trained farmers, and benefited businesses, so that he had no time to take care of you. You will be sent to the State Minister's Mansion for seven years!" Wei Wengong said excitedly again.

After hearing Wei Wengong's confession from the bottom of his heart, Wu Xie cried even harder, burying his head in his arms and refusing to let go of Wei Wengong.Wei Wengong, who only cared about comforting Wu Xie, didn't notice that his other son was looking at the man curled up in his arms with extremely resentful eyes.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" After that, Wei Wengong stroked the back of the baby in his arms again, and then put it down, "By the way, Father Jun will give you a personal entourage, who is two years younger than you. She is well-behaved and sensible." After saying that, he casually pointed to Wang Meng who was standing aside.

From then on, Wang Meng temporarily replaced Zhang Qiling, and was inseparable from Wu Xie every day.Half a year later, the country of Wei suffered the most serious flood since the founding of the country, and half of the people in the country were displaced, and the disaster-affected areas were filled with mourning.How could the economy, which had just shown signs of recovery, bear such a huge burden at this time? Soon, even the Hou Mansion began to cut down on food and clothing, and took out all the food and property in the treasury for disaster relief.

After the flood, the atmosphere in the Hou's mansion became more and more depressing, which had a great impact on Wu Xie. Wei Wengong felt sorry for Wu Xie, so he decided to entrust Wu Xie to Yuan Zhen again.Yuan Xie, who had been with Wu Xie for seven years, had long regarded him as his own son. Hearing Wei Wengong's arrangement, he took Wu Xie back that afternoon.

It has been more than half a year since they returned to the State Secretary's Mansion again. Although Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling's appearances have begun to change, the friendship they have been together day and night for seven years has not changed.If there is anything different, it is that this time Wu Xie also brought a Wang Meng.And Wang Meng also began his miserable life from then on. Zhang Qiling took his place from the moment he stepped into the State Secretary's Mansion, and secretly monitored the movements of the State Secretary every day. When people go out to play, they always stay in the mansion as a cover.

The sun and the moon flickered in front of our eyes, and in 640 BC, the economy of Wei State finally recovered.Wei Chenggong once again recalled Wu Xie, who had reached the age of 13, back to the Hou Mansion.

A few days before leaving.

In the evening, Zhang Qiling lay on the bed thinking that Wu Xie was going back to the Hou's Mansion again, but he didn't feel sleepy for a while.Thinking: The last time I was called back to the Hou Mansion, I went there for more than half a year. If it wasn't because of a flood, I didn't know when I would see Wu Xie again.I don't know how long it will take to be separated from him this time before we can meet again.So, I made a decision in my heart.

The next day, Zhang Qiling ordered his servants to cut down the paulownia paulownia that he had planted, which was already a towering tree. He selected the best piece of wood, and under the guidance of Feng Ziji, he spent three days making a piano. I want to have a thought with Wu Xie.Zhang Qiling remembers that he once learned a word from that master who is full of knowledge to pronounce "ye". ", and engrave it on the side of the Qin, where Wu Xie can see it when he wants to play it.

Sixie (ye two tones), literally means "do you want to?", but in Zhang Qiling's mind, it has always been pronounced as Sixie (xie two tones). Every thread is Zhang Qiling's heartfelt thoughts about Wu Xie.Both of them understand this.
