The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 160 Miscellaneous Chapters
Throughout the ages, there have been countless talented and brilliant people, but very few have been able to start well and end well.

Standing upright and trustworthy, Shang Yang, who made a promise and was worth a lot of money, was a famous person through the ages after a reform, but Shang Yang's end was miserable, he was cut into pieces by five horses and died;

The founding hero of the great Han Dynasty, Han Xin, who "succeeds and loses Xiao He", was an extremely human minister, but was punished by the three clans by Empress Lu;
The number one talented scholar of the Ming Dynasty, Xie Jin who compiled the "Yongle Dadian", did not end well either.

There are many reasons for the above-mentioned people to be talented, but there are many reasons why they ended up miserably, but one of them is "can't be a human being", and Xiao Qinzhi's performance is very good, very "on the road", it can be said "Knowing the current affairs", he handled Yu Ran's provocation very cleverly, and gained fame without killing everyone.

It should be noted that the general direction of the gentry class is to share weal and woe. Everyone quarrels, and quarrels return to quarrels, but there are very few people who tear their faces and put people to death. , because Wang Dun killed his father, of course it is okay to avenge father and son.

Who wouldn't like a young man who can understand current affairs and has great talent?
Not to mention that Xiao Qinzhi's background is low enough, and he urgently needs to be pulled over. The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. If you invest in potential stocks in advance, if you have a big future in the future, you will naturally get a lot of returns. In this era, it is a common thing. Fresh.

The gathering broke up at the beginning of the night, and everyone returned with great enthusiasm. It is said that Xiao Qinzhi became famous this time, and the treatment he received was different immediately.

One of Xiao Qin returned the salute, envious of Xie Xuan and others who were on the side.

Situ's mansion is preparing for the banquet, and Sima Yu is very interested. If he wants to have a banquet at night, Xie An and the others will naturally have to save face, but the younger generation has already prepared another banquet, mainly because they are with them. .

The evening banquet was set up in Xie's mansion, Xie Xuan invited a few people who were familiar with Xiao Qinzhi on weekdays, Lu Chu, Zhang Xuanzhi, Gu Hutou and Wang Xianzhi and a few others.

We haven't seen each other for a long time since last year's farewell to Wu County, and now we meet again in Jiankang, so I can talk about it coldly.

Xiao Qin had some thoughts in his heart, and whispered a few words to Xie Xuan. He wanted to invite Xu Miao and Zhao Yunfei. He was a little scrupulous at first, but Xie Xuan raised his eyes and sneered: "Brother Qin, you really underestimate me. Now, if you really want to talk about it, don’t talk about them, it’s you.”

Although the words were not finished, but the meaning was already clear, Xiao Qinzhi was stunned for no reason, and was about to retaliate, when he heard Gu Hu's head said in a daze: "Xie Qi, aside from your sister, how dare you talk to me?" Brother Qin’s theory of real talent and learning?”

Henry Zhangzhi asked deliberately: "Why do you want to leave his sister?"

Gu Hu gave a "crumb" sound, and said speciously: "Then I have to ask Xie Qi."

Xie Xuan blushed, and Gu Zuo said three times, knowing that he was really no match for them in terms of talent and learning. Whoever let these people have unique skills in their hands, he said awesomely: "My sister Jiang Zuo is number one, Why do you need to tell people!"

This is considered to have stabbed a hornet's nest, and the first one who was not convinced was Gu Hutou, who argued: "You have sisters, and I have sisters, let's not talk about them, let's talk about it first."

Xie Xuan naturally quit. Gu Hutou is a naive person who always finds someone to sit down and talk about for ten rounds. , let’s discuss chess with you, I have a good friend who will come over later, on weekdays I play with him on June [-]th, if you beat him, come and play chess with me again.”

Gu Hu asked, "Who is it?"

Xie Xuan said with a mysterious smile: "I will know later."

Xiao Qinzhi secretly broke into a cold sweat for Xu Miao.

"Both of you are elder brothers, and I am elder brother. It is clear at a glance who wins and who loses, so I won't argue with you." Henry Zhang lifted up his clothes and got into the car. Lu Chu was twisting the cuffs of his white robe, his soft waist Leaning on the carriage railing, covering his mouth, he stared at them with a blank smile.

"Okay Henry Zhangzhi, don't take advantage of your tongue, let's see how you escape at night." Xie Xuan grinned and said.

"Mo Feng flashed his tongue." Gu Hu stunned, and was about to get into the carriage, but saw Xiao Qinzhi follow Henry Zhang into the carriage, so he had to get into Xie Xuan's carriage, and verbal confrontations were inevitable along the way.

Xiao Qinzhi sniffed the strong fragrance from Lu Chu's body, and asked, "Are you usually like this?"

Lu Chu raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, "Otherwise, what do you think?"

Xiao Qinzhi nodded, "That's fine."

Lu Chu twirled his show fingers, tapped his legs, frowned and asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean by that?"

Henry Zhang cast a big question mark face.

Xiao Qinzhi said: "Isn't a god worth mentioning?"

This made the two even more puzzled.

"Ok?"

Xiao Qinzhi joked: "If you are a human being, you want to become a fairy, but if you sit on the ground, you want to go to heaven."

The two thought about it carefully, and then laughed. Henry Zhang looked at Xiao Qinzhi, and shouted: "Brother Qin, your mouth is really bad. Today, Yu Ran cultivated a good fortune and escaped."

Xie House.

On Lintai Lake under the night, the first day: the breeze, the second day: the fragrance, the third day: the clear light, the fourth day: the clear thoughts, and a light and melodious flute sound, like a girl covering her face, subtle Thoughts, wandering in the night and twilight, but complained about the lotus picking boat, and still refused to lean on the brightly lit shore.

The winter order of punting is also happy. The boat in the hand moves freely without disturbing the sound of the water, but the boat is moving forward steadily, as if seeing Xiao Qinzhi in Hualin Garden, every move is full of style , Every word is an article, which attracts people's imagination.

The sound of the flute stopped, and the boat sailed slowly towards the shore. Xie Daoyun sat on the bow and stretched her feet into the lake, feeling the warm lake water slipping past her heart, feeling relieved for no reason. , I imagined the grand occasion of the rally.

"This stupid goose has lived up to expectations, and it's much better than it is!"

Thinking of this, Xie Daoyun smiled sweetly again, put his hands on his chin, stared at the half-drowned Lintai Lake, couldn't help thinking about it, and suddenly covered his face with his hands, his delicate face was ashamed.

Thinking that Xie Xuan would have a banquet later, he would come too, Xie Daoyun asked, "Is the kitchen ready?"

Dong Ling replied: "Mr. Qilang sent someone back to give orders a long time ago. Maybe it's all right."

Xie Daoyun smiled secretly: "Have you prepared that dish?"

This dish is of course roast goose, but Xie Daoyun named it "Xing Goose", which made the silly Dongling unable to figure out the key point, because he had never heard of "Xing Goose", so he replied: "I talked to the back chef, but ma'am, that goose is no different from ordinary geese. Why is it called 'Apricot Goose'? Could it be that it grew up eating apricots?"

Xie Daoyun covered her mouth and laughed, and said: "There are many dumb geese, but there is only one apricot goose. Please eat dumb goose some other day, okay?"

Dong Ling frowned, rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "They're all geese, they're all the same, just eat what you have."

The small boat passed the Huxin Pavilion and arrived at the lotus pond. Suddenly, there were two figures familiar to Xie Daoyun standing on the waterside pavilion near the lake. After a closer look, they found out that they were old acquaintances Xu Miao and Zhao Yunfei. He came, and was placed here in advance by the housekeeper.

Xu Miao and Zhao Yunfei stayed in "Wu City" for a whole day. They went from uneasy to unspeakably excited. They had already prepared food and wine. When Xiao Qinzhi came back to drink, Hu was invited by Xie's mansion to attend the Evening feast.

The person in charge had come with Xie Xuan before, and after talking about it, Zhao Yunfei couldn't bear to be excited, and she was rewarded with a lot of errand fees, it was an honor to be able to enter the gate of Xie's family, but Xu Miao didn't take it seriously.

The two came in time at night, but before Xie Xuan and his group came back, they were arranged by the steward to wait here. The servant listened to the steward's instructions and did not dare to neglect because of his status, so he cooked tea on the sidelines.

Xu Miao and Zhao Yunfei were standing by the lake, looking at Lintai Lake, and suddenly saw a faintly visible boat coming out from the pavilion in the middle of the lake, with a woman with green hair and shawl standing at the prow.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, ignoring the principle of seeing no evil when they went to the master's house, they hurriedly looked away, but they heard a familiar voice coming from Luo Sheng: "Brother Xianmin, brother Yunfei, it's been a long time not see!"

Obviously, I saw it at Xuanwu Lake the night before yesterday. Although it was a surprise, the pear blossoms were raining, but the memory is still fresh, but this is obviously something that cannot be said. As the boat gradually approached, the two of them also got a glimpse of the truth for the first time. Xie Daoyun's decorated women's attire is full of smiles, calm and generous, and should be the product of God's impulse.

"Brother Yun, you're being polite!" Xu Miao said hello with a forgetful smile.

After being reminded by Xu Miao, Zhao Yunfei came to her senses and said awkwardly, "I have seen brother Yun."

Just after saying hello, there was laughter and scolding from not far away, and one could tell that it was Gu Hutou and Xie Xuan who were arguing, while the others were laughing. Xu Miao said to the lake: " Brother Yun, they are here."

Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "Let's leave first."

The boat slowly slipped into the night, while Xu Miao was still tasting the words "retire first", thinking: "Could it be that she will come later?"
