Chapter 7

Mubai hesitated at this moment and said: "Actually... this subordinate thinks that this trip to Kuaiji should be useful. The aristocratic family is very romantic, who doesn't wear thin shirts and wooden clogs to eat two mouthfuls of five stone powder? Even the King of Wuling came up Didn't I also wear such an attire in Fuzhou Mountain last time, this is the trend of the times, my lord."

Xie Shu's eyes were horrified: "It must be like this?"

Mubai nodded like garlic.

Xie Shu felt that something was wrong. No wonder even Wei Yizhi sent a pair of wooden clogs in an "eventful" way this time. It should be to remind her because it was her first time participating in such a grand event.

The children of those aristocratic families all pay attention to bohemianism, and they don't wear their clothes properly when it's warm. They don't wear underwear, they only wear an outer shirt with their arms bare, and they often show their shoulders or chests. They are all very narcissistic about their bodies. .

Xie Shu can't do it, any loose coat is fine, but not wearing a middle coat is absolutely fatal.But not to mention the grand meeting of Kuaiji, since late spring is coming to an end and summer is approaching, people will think it strange if they cover up tightly at that time.

She walked a few steps on the same spot, her heart froze, and she said to Mubai: "Prepare me a Hu suit."

"Ah?" Mubai really wanted to cry, son, you have such a face that you don't know Bo Fengliu, you, you, you... who are you worthy of!

Wei Yizhi was also making preparations at this time. Mrs. Xiang learned that he was going to Kuaiji, so she hurried over and said a few words to him. After listening to him, he was both helpless and funny.

"Why would mother think of saying this?"

Mrs. Xiang glared at him: "You can meet Wang's cousin when you go to Kuaiji this time, what a great opportunity, then you must see if there is any cousin in Wang's family, if not, daughters from other families should also pay more attention. Do you really want to wait for your grandson for your mother until the old eyes are dim?"

Wei Yizhi smiled and said, "There is no rush for this matter."

Mrs. Xiang stomped her feet: "Why can't you be in a hurry? You're clearly evading! I'm going to your father's memorial tablet to sue you for being unfilial!"

Wei Yizhi quickly grabbed her arm, "Okay, okay, I'll take a good look, okay?"

Mrs. Xiang was now satisfied, and pretending to be relieved, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "I'm not forcing you to be a mother. Your father's life is short, and there are only Shizhi and your two sons under your knees. I was jealous at the beginning, and I didn't let you go." He takes a concubine, and now he feels ashamed, only seeing the prosperity of the family, can he go to see the ancestors of the Wei family with peace of mind after a hundred years."

Wei Yizhi had a headache when he heard that she moved out of the ancestors: "Yes, yes, what mother said is true."

Mrs. Xiang shook the handkerchief, and said sadly: "If only your eldest brother is still well, alas..."

Thinking of his elder brother, Wei Yizhi sighed suddenly.

Seeing the achievement of her goal, Mrs. Xiang said a few more insipid words before drifting back, already beginning to outline the appearance of her future grandson in her heart.

Jiankang was not too far away from Kuaiji, and Wang Jingzhi quickly replied with brilliant writing and chic handwriting. It can be summed up in one sentence: everything is ready, come on.

Xie Shu only learned to read and write after he entered Xie's mansion. Because of his ugly handwriting, Xie Mingguang often took it out on him. Now that he is able to show his hand, he wants to dig a hole and bury himself when he sees Wang Jingzhi's handwriting.

"Come, come, Mubai, frame this letter for me."

Mubai worshiped the Xie family too much, so he also blindly worshiped Xie Shu, and said with disdain: "My lord, your handwriting looks better than this, why should you cherish the writing of the Wang family so much."

Xie Shu thought of those wooden clogs, and said sadly, "Don't lift my feet..."

The day of departure has come.

There are more than one hundred families in the Jin Dynasty, and almost half of them are rooted in Jiankang. Cars and horses are connected, and they are almost lined up from Xuanyangmen to the outside of the Nancheng moat.

Xie Shu put on airs as usual, her car driver crawled over slowly after everyone else arrived, but the time was right and she was not late.There were quite a few respected elders in the aristocratic families present, although they were dissatisfied, they couldn't say anything.

Xie Shu came out through the curtain and greeted everyone one by one. Seeing her impeccable etiquette and demeanor, the big families suppressed their dissatisfaction with this trip.

After exchanging a few simple greetings, and by the way, praised His Majesty the Emperor for his kindness and wisdom, Xie Shu said that he can set off.

The children of several aristocratic families clamored and jumped onto Wei Yizhi's carriage, wanting to drive with him.Seeing Xie Shu, he was a little surprised that Wei Yizhi usually seemed to be a loner in court, and he didn't want to be so popular in private.

But isn't she commensurate with his brother in private now?
This kid has good means...

Wei Yi raised the curtain with one hand, said something to those people, and there was laughter in the car.One of the young masters named Yang Saw suddenly pointed to the outside of the car and said, "The Prime Minister is looking at this side. Could it be that we are too noisy?"

Everyone looked over at the same time, and Wei Yizhi was no exception. He smiled at Xie Shu, then raised his hand and saluted.Seeing this, the other princes had no choice but to salute Xie Shu one after another.

Xie Shu nodded slightly as a return of the salute, and smiled back at Wei Yi by the way.

Everyone was in a daze, Huan Ting, son of the Huan family, was even more surprised. He watched Xie Shu put down the curtain before returning to his senses.Not long after he entered the official career, he didn't see Xie Shu often like other people. When he saw her appearance carefully today, he was immediately amazed, and couldn't help but said to Wei Yizhi: "If the prime minister is a woman, he must be called by the family to fight for her. Head."

Knowing that he was young, Yang Saw reminded him kindly: "Enping must not talk nonsense, otherwise it may cause disaster if it reaches Prime Minister Xie's ears."

Wei Yizhi smiled and said: "This king only knows that if he is a woman, the prime minister will have to be replaced."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, this matter was considered a joke.

The laughter didn't stop, the horse neighed, the servants scolded the passers-by to make way, the soldiers guarded both sides and walked neatly, the beautiful singer Yingying accompanied by the family was singing and swallowing, and the sons of the family were chatting and laughing happily.

Xie Shu's chariot was walking in the middle, with a chariot general leading the way in front of him, and Xie Ran's chariot behind him followed suit.

The journey was boring, she ate a few pomegranates that Mubai had peeled, and she felt really bored, so she simply spread the folding fan to cover her face and went to sleep.

"Mubai, call me when you arrive."

Mubai hastily closed the car curtains, and when people saw the prime minister in the car paralyzed and sound asleep in the car, he could take his own life and go see Xie Mingguang.

Kuaiji has always had unique scenery, steep mountains and beautiful waters, and is a favorite place of many celebrities and poets.Most of the Wang family lived here, and Wang Jingzhi's family was the head of it.

Wang Jingzhi is currently the patriarch of the Wang clan, just over thirty years old, and his reputation has already spread throughout the court and the public.It is said that he was unwilling to become an official at the beginning, and his biggest wish was to write calligraphy and paint at home. The emperor called him many times, but he ignored it, and took a beautiful concubine out to visit the mountains and rivers.

His father was so angry that his braids turned up, and Wang Jingzhi felt remorse. From then on, he entered the court and became an official. Within three years, he climbed to the position of the leader of the Kuaiji, and also took the position of the right general.

Xie's family is now in the limelight, and he has heard about it for a long time, so when Xie Shu mentioned that he would come to Kuaiji for a gathering, he immediately agreed.

Compared with the restlessness of other Wang family members, he was more curious about what Prime Minister Xie, who was half of the blood of the common people, looked like.

Prime Minister Xie sneezed a few times in the car and continued to sleep.

Already passed the boundaries of Xin'an County, Kuaiji was already in sight, Mubai blocked everyone's eyes while persuading: "My lord, manners, manners!"

Xie Shu still covered his face with his fan and turned a deaf ear, as if he wanted to make up for all the sleep he had lost due to morning mornings.

On the day we arrived at Kuaiji, the weather was gloomy, the stratus clouds were low pressure, and the sky seemed to have been washed by turbid water, showing a slight yellow color.Below is the beauty of green grass and flowers, and in the distance is the majestic tower, like a corner of an ink painting, simple and elegant.

When the soldiers on the tower saw the people and horses coming, they went to report immediately. After a while, Wang Jingzhi led the crowd out to meet them.

He has long been greeted by acquaintances from the aristocratic family. Compared with Xie Shu, who has a flawed identity, Wang Jingzhi is a well-deserved empress of a famous family.

What about Prime Minister Xie, the guy who can cook cranes!

Seeing that Wang Jingzhi was about to come, Mubai hurriedly pushed Xie Shu, but she was really asleep, and she still found Mubai annoying, so she threatened, "If you keep making trouble, I'll throw you to feed you bastard!"

Mubai burst into tears: "Keep your voice down son, manners, manners!"

Xie Ran already sensed that the situation ahead was not right, he couldn't easily show his face, so he asked Guangfu to send a message to the Xie family's confidantes, asking them to step forward to block Wang Jingzhi, and then send a message to Mubai, even if they splashed water Xie Shu woke up.

How could Mubai dare to splash it, his clothes would get wet, let alone his appearance.

Wei Yi got out of the car, glanced at Wang Jingzhi from a distance, and then at Xie Shu's car, thinking that she was showing off because she hadn't moved for a long time, but who knew that the car curtain was lifted by the wind, and saw Mu A face that is about to cry but has no tears.

He thought that something happened to Xie Shu and he couldn't speak up, so he asked Fu Xuan to block others, and walked over quietly by himself.

At this time, everyone was paying attention to Wang Jingzhi, and no one was paying attention to Xie Shu's side. He moved quickly and boarded Xie Shu's carriage without making a sound.

"As one wishes."

Xie Shu was harassed by Mubai for a long time, he was about to wake up, when he heard this call, he was startled for a while, and then he reacted.

It's been a long time since that name has been used.

She took away the folding fan, and Wei Yizhi was sitting in front of him in crow green casual clothes, that dull color couldn't suppress his appearance, and there was always a smile in his eyes, and when he looked over, he seemed to see pearls and jade in the hall.

"It turned out to be asleep, Wang Jingzhi is here, you will be rude if you don't wake up."

Xie Shu sat down immediately, straightened his clothes, and wiped his eyes quietly by the way. He was relieved wretchedly when he found that he didn't sleep with eye feces.

"Then I'll go down here."

Wei Yizhi raised his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute, you go down after I go down, so as not to cause gossip."

Xie Shu is depressed, so why do you come up here?

Wei Yi got off the car, but Mubai stood by his side this time, and said aggrievedly: "Thanks to the appearance of King Wuling, otherwise, either the subordinates will be thrown to feed the bastard, or you will lose face, young master."

Xie Shu looked at him reassuringly: "Okay, okay, I just got up and got angry."

Seeing that the prime minister hadn't got out of the car for a long time, Wang Jingzhi outside the car thought he was neglecting himself, so he stopped greeting everyone, and walked up to her car to salute: "Wang Jing, governor of Kuaiji, came to greet the prime minister."

Mubai raised the curtain, the coachman put the pier in place, Xie Shu leaned out, the crimson robe dazzled everyone's eyes, after she stood still, she looked Wang Jingzhi up and down, and said with airs: "The governor is welcome .”

Wang Jingzhi straightened up. He covered his head with a lacquered sarong crown, dressed in a blue gown, a jasper belt around his waist, and thick-soled boots. He was dressed solemnly, and it was obvious that he respected Xie Shu.

All the members of the Wang clan followed behind him, and most of them were well-dressed. They followed him and saluted Xie Shu, with lowered eyebrows and narrowed eyes, with a respectful attitude.

This is a family with strong cohesion, and Wang Jingzhi is the leader.Xie Shu thinks this is better than the Xie family.

Wang Jingzhi said a few more words about everyone's fatigue from the journey, and then he wanted to lead everyone into the city.

The roadside in the city was already crowded with onlookers, half of them were asking Prime Minister Xie which car to take, and half were asking which car to take King Wuling, their anxious eyes didn't know where to turn.

Wang Jingzhi was riding in front, and seeing this posture, he waved his whip and pointed at the passers-by with a smile and scolded: "Didn't you keep saying that I am the prettiest, my lord? Why did you change your mind when the prime minister came?"

Everyone laughed and joked with him one after another: "I'm tired of seeing Mr. Governor all the time."

"Speech! Seeing something different!"

The people roared with laughter.

The world called him the number one romantic celebrity in the Jin Kingdom, but his appearance was not as feminine as Xie Shu, nor as eye-catching as Wei Yizhi.His flair is all about his temperament, like a jar of good wine that has been simmering for many years, it doesn't look special, but once he smells it, he is already intoxicated.His freedom and ease are unmatched, and this is why the people love him.

Xie Shu glanced out, surprised and said: "This Wang Jingzhi is really unruly, and he can be so close to the common people."

Mubai rolled his eyes and said: "The Wang family is the best at playing tricks!"

There were too many people coming, and accommodation was a big problem, but Wang Jingzhi had made preparations early, and everyone got reasonable arrangements.Some lived in the homes of other Wang clan members, and when they thought they had low official titles, they turned out to be acquaintances, and everyone was happy;

From this point alone, Wang Jingzhi's ability can be seen. Not everyone can clearly understand the context behind these aristocratic families.

Wang Jingzhi's own mansion only entertained the prime minister, and Xie Ran was incidental, and even Wei Yizhi didn't have a share, but in fact his mansion occupies a very large area, so it was all for Xie Shu's face.

The biggest place is the garden of his home. In the evening, he held a banquet for everyone, and put nearly a hundred small tables directly in the garden. It was not crowded, it was so spectacular.

Of course Xie Shu sat at the head, accompanied by Wang Jingzhi himself.Everyone's arrangements are very suitable, only Wei Yizhi's seat is shocking. His current status is only one level lower than Xie Shu's.

But looking at Wang Jingzhi next to him, it's as if he didn't notice this at all.

No, with his ability to handle affairs, it is impossible for him to be negligent, unless it was intentional.

It's not easy for her to remind Wang Jingzhi, after all, she and Wei Yizhi are deadly enemies on the surface, but if she really does nothing, she is afraid that Wei Yizhi will have lumps in her heart.

Brother is not easy to do.

So Xie Shu began to look at Wei Yizhi from time to time, meaning that although Yudi was sitting on the top, he still cared about you in the corner, so don't bear any grudges against me.

Wei Yizhi chatted and laughed happily with the people next to him, and he didn't seem to mind. Occasionally, he looked at her with a calm smile.

Wang Jingzhi saw that she often wandered on the sidelines, so he said, "The prime minister finds it boring? Do you want to invite the singer to accompany you?"

Xie Shu hastily waved his hand and declined: "Today, the horses and horses are exhausted, so let's avoid it."

The others were immediately disappointed. Wang Jingzhi was famous for his love of beauties, and the quality of the singers in his house would never be bad. Everyone's blood boiled for a long time, but the prime minister actually pretended to be a good person and turned her down.

It's so incomprehensible, I can't eat without beautiful women!

The result of being unable to eat is a mess of cups and plates.

After the meal, everyone sat together to talk about astronomy and geography, and gossip about the capital city, which is called plain talk.

Jin people have high aesthetics. The so-called romantic celebrities not only need good looks, but also good eloquence. It is the real ability to sit down and try to catch up with what others say.

So everyone focused their attention on Wang Jingzhi.

Wang Jingzhi then spoke with eloquence, citing scriptures and classics, eloquently, and his deeds involved all the big families present, but there was no Wei family.He still didn't seem to notice that there was a great Sima present, and he didn't mention Wei Yizhi at all.

Xie Shu looked up at the stars, the galaxy is so bright tonight, it's suitable to play dumb.

We had to go to Lanting on the second day. Everyone had just arrived, so we had to recharge our spirits, so we listened to Wang Jingzhi bragging for a while and then dispersed.

As soon as Wang Jingzhi sat down in the room, his cousin Wang Qian ran over to gossip with him: "The Prime Minister has flirted with King Wuling many times during the banquet. I'm afraid that the relationship between the two is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Holding the teacup, Wang Jingzhi asked, "Why isn't it simple?"

"Either there is friendship in private, or there is adultery in private."

"Pfft..." Wang Jing spat out a sip of tea.

Wang Qian himself is so masculine, so it is inevitable that he will be delusional. He brushed off the tea stains on his clothes nonchalantly, and said: "Speaking of which, why did my cousin deliberately target Wuling King? His mother's family is still a cousin of our Wang family. .”

Wang Jingzhi glanced at him: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as Wei Yizhi understands."

Wei Yizhi was about to board the car to go to his residence at this time, when Xie Ran appeared.

He stood at the door, ignoring the eyes of everyone passing by, opened his mouth and said: "Prime Minister invites Da Sima to stay in Feixian Pavilion, and he will move to Yaguang Pavilion by himself."

Wang Jingzhi allocated a large area for Xie Shu to live in, including the most prestigious Feixian Pavilion in the palace.Xie Shu moved in, and Feixian Pavilion was her dormitory of course.But she wants to move to the remote Yaguang Pavilion by herself, and let Wei Yi live in Feixian Pavilion.

Everyone understands that the prime minister is wooing Da Sima.It's too cunning, seeing that the Wang family doesn't regard Da Sima as a treasure now, he immediately acted.

In front of everyone, Wei Yizhi of course wanted to draw a clear line with Xie Shu: "It's absolutely impossible, my king's status is not as good as the prime minister, how can I be worthy of it."

Xie Ran laughed and laughed, and finally said: "This is the prime minister's decision, and the next message has been delivered, Da Sima please go ahead."
