Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms
Chapter 56 Thanks Cheng
Luo Qin glanced at him silently, thinking that this Xie Erlang was also a person on Luo Ci's list, so why not try to get in touch with him.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank my third cousin. If it weren't for my third cousin giving Ah Qin the opportunity to enter the clan school, I wouldn't have been able to meet Master Xiao, and I wouldn't have had the honor of listening to his lectures."
"Master Xiao is indeed a famous scholar. He only needs a few words to explain many things, and even a dull person like me can understand them at once."
Luo Qin spoke politely, not only praising Xie Qi, but also Master Xiao Huai.
Xie Cheng turned around, resting one hand on Luo Qin's desk, holding his chin, smiling with his narrow eyes, "I haven't asked yet, I wonder how Miss Luo got to know my third brother?"
"Ah, this is it. Didn't I go to Bingzhou to deliver food and fodder to my third uncle a few months ago? On my way back, I went to Nanyang, Jingzhou, where I met my cousin Luo." Xie Qi was simple-minded and told him everything he knew in one breath.
"I see." Xie Cheng nodded in understanding, and then asked, "Miss Luo is the southern branch of the Luo family?"
"No," Luo Qin shook her head. Since Xie Qi had said so, she had nothing to hide, so she simply admitted it openly, "I was originally from a branch of the Yiyang County in Jingzhou. It just so happened that General Yu Bai's right hand was injured, so my father and brother went to Nanyang to treat him..."
"Oh, I got it."
I think after Luo Qin went to Nanyang with her father and brother, the Luo family discovered that there was such a beauty among their clansmen, so they brought her to Jiankang to train...
After thoroughly understanding Luo Qin's identity, Xie Cheng stared at this delicate girl quietly for a moment, with a hint of contempt, a hint of sympathy, and a hint of indescribable joy flashing across his eyes.
It turned out that she was just a girl from a humble branch of the family. According to her, her father and brother were just practicing doctors, and even if they had official titles, they were not necessarily very high.
The Luo family brought it here as a tool for marriage.
Well, he does have some skills. After charming the third brother, he successfully entered the Xie clan school...
Luo Qin clearly felt that Xie Cheng's gaze had become much more presumptuous. When Wang Lu looked at her, he was mostly calm and appreciative. Xie Qi was shy and introverted, but Xie Cheng was different. From the very beginning, he gave her a very uncomfortable feeling. This gaze seemed to be real, stripping her naked and looking her over. She felt very uncomfortable and disgusted.
"By the way, why do you, third brother, call Miss Luo your cousin?" Xie Cheng asked Xie Qi again with a nod.
"Ah, second brother, don't you remember? An uncle of our Xie family married a daughter of the Luo family. According to the seniority, Aqin is our cousin."
Xie Cheng: "..."
What kind of relatives are these? Xie Qi, you are really good at making connections.
Xie Cheng was speechless for a moment, then he smiled and said, "In that case, Erlang, I will also call Miss Luo your cousin. Cousin Luo, I am your cousin Zezhi."
"Thank you, second cousin..." Luo Qin said weakly with the corner of her mouth raised.
For some reason, she always felt that Xie Erlang had bad intentions and was a smiling tiger...
"What are you doing? Have you finished your homework?"
Suddenly, Master Xiao's voice came from behind. Xie Cheng was startled and turned around quickly. Xie Qi pulled himself away and knelt down immediately. Luo Qin stopped smiling in an instant, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, ready to continue writing.
Xiao Huai walked up to the three people with his hands behind his back, blew his beard angrily, and glared at them. The three people lowered their heads silently, like quails.
What a troublesome little bastard. He started to slack off as soon as he turned around.
Xie Yun caught a glimpse of the three people who were caught deserting their duty. He pursed his lips slightly and cast a glance on his desk. He waved the wolf hair brush in his hand, and after a moment, flowing and graceful words appeared on the rattan paper.
After Xiao Huai beat the three people who were deserting their duty, he continued to walk around the school. After a while, he came to Xie Yun's desk. He stopped, turned sideways and glanced at Xie Dalang's calligraphy, nodding repeatedly as he read.
He is truly worthy of being the most talented young man of the Xie family. His handwriting is far beyond that of ordinary calligraphers. A piece of his calligraphy must be worth a fortune.
Master Xiao returned to his couch, straightened his robe, knelt down, picked up the book on the table, opened it, and read it carefully.
The young men and women sitting in rows in front of him were all concentrating on studying, waving their pens and writing furiously.
The golden sunlight scattered into the classroom, moving little by little, gradually filling the room. Outside the window, orioles chirped and jumped on the branches and sang.
The hourglass on the stage made a slight rustling sound. Time was rare and quiet. The young men and women were focused on their studies without any distractions.
Soon the setting sun approached the western mountains. A layer of orange-red clouds floated in the western sky. It was time to adjourn the Xie clan school. Master Xiao said, "School is over. See you tomorrow." Then he collected the scroll, tucked the book under his arm, held his head high and chest out, and left in a dashing manner.
The students immediately became active, and with joy on their faces they packed up their things and prepared to go back to their houses.
"Cousin Luo, I won't see you off on your way back. I think your servant knows the way, right?" Xie Qi said.
"Yes." Luo Qin nodded, "No need to trouble my third cousin. Luo's is not too far from Xie's house. I can go back by myself."
"That's fine. Be careful on the road."
"Okay, thank you for your kindness, third cousin."
After saying goodbye to Xie Qi, Luo Qin found Rufang who was waiting for her. The two of them walked through the corridor of Xie’s huge mansion, walked out of the gate, and got on the carriage back to Luo’s mansion.
After returning to Luo Mansion and entering her own Youlan Garden, Luo Rong came rushing over, "Aunt Qin, Aunt Qin! How was your time at the Xie Clan School today? Did you see Lay Buddhist Qiongying?"
Seeing the young girl coming in with a smile on her face, Luo Qin asked Pingyu to prepare the mat and invited her to sit down.
Luo Qin gathered her skirt, knelt in front of the yellow rosewood low table, raised her eyebrows and smiled at the little girl opposite her, "Of course I have seen it."
"Wow, is he as handsome and elegant as the rumors say?"
"Isn't that right?" Luo Qin said thoughtfully.
Actually, she felt that Xie Jun was not easy to get along with. When others greeted him, he would just nod with a wooden face, and his face never showed much expression. He was a cold and handsome man who went for the aloof style.
Fortunately, he was not on the list Luo Ci gave her, so she didn't have to go to great lengths to contact him.
Luo Rong turned into a little fangirl and started asking questions: "Aunt Qin, what is Xie Dalang like? Did he talk to you?"
"This morning, for unknown reasons, he suddenly fell into a coma..."
"Ah? Why is he unconscious?!" Luo Rong asked, "How is he?"
"Don't worry," Luo Qin smiled faintly, "He will be back to school this afternoon, so I think he's fine."
"oh oh."
"As for whether he talked to me or not, that's not the case. It was only my first day in the Xie Clan School, so I didn't know him well. He was born in a noble family, and if he didn't take the initiative to approach me, I wouldn't have dared to seek a sense of presence in front of him."
Originally, it was embarrassing enough for Luo Qin to enter the Xie clan school with the help of Xie Qi's relationship. On the first day, she went straight to the eldest son of the Xie family to show off. She was even more embarrassed. God knows what other people said behind her back.
"Arong, when did you become so concerned about Mr. Xie?" Luo Qin glanced at the girl opposite and joked.
"Oh, it's not just me who cares, it's all the girls in Jiankang who care!" Luo Rong rested her elbows on the low table, holding her face, "Everyone in Jiankang is talking about how handsome Xie Dalang is. I've heard it a hundred times since I came here. I'm moved by it too much."
"A young man as heroic as General Yu was not selected as one of the Four Beauties of Jiankang. I wonder how handsome Xie Dalang, the leader of the Four Beauties of Jiankang, must be."
Luo Qin couldn't help but laugh.
There were few entertainment options in this era, and news did not spread quickly. After eating and drinking, when people had nothing to do, they would start gossiping and joining in the fun.
I still remember that in her original world, there was a historical rumor about "watching Wei Jie being killed".
Wei Jie was a famous mystic and handsome man from the Jin Dynasty in her original world. His beauty not only conquered women, but also made men fall in love with him.
Wherever he went, there were always people rushing to watch him. Because there were so many onlookers, they often surrounded him like a wall, so he had to expend a lot of effort to break out every time.
Once, Wei Jie went from Yuzhang to Xiadu. People there had long heard of his name, and the crowds of people coming to see him formed a wall. Wei Jie could not bear the fatigue, so he fell ill and died.
Therefore, people said that he was watched to death alive, which gave rise to the allusion "Wei Jie was watched to death".
If Xie Yun had not been in good health and kept his whereabouts secret, with his reputation, he would have been the second Wei Jie.
Little girl Luo Rong grabbed Luo Qin and asked him about what she had seen and heard in school. Luo Qin answered patiently and told her everything that happened in school today.
Before we knew it, night fell and the starry sky gradually became brighter. The afterglow of dusk and the stars in the blue sky complemented each other, which was beautiful, romantic and intoxicating.
Ping Yu Rufang and several servants had prepared dinner. Luo Qin invited Luo Rong to have dinner with them. Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Rong decided to stay and join her.
……
That night.
The night is deep, and the night sky is like a deep painting, swallowing up all the complex colors, with stars and the moon dotted in between, leaving behind a black tranquility and mystery.
Xie Mansion.
Muhuayuan.
The night in early spring was warm but cool. The windows in the house were closed, and the moonlight sparsely fell into the courtyard. Outside the window, the osmanthus tree was lush and leafy, and the bright moon cast a mottled white frost.
There were gauze curtains in the room, golden beasts were puffing out smoke, and the man on the couch was sleeping peacefully.
Suddenly, his thick black eyebrows frowned, as if he had dreamed of some bad scene.
In a daze, Xie Yun suddenly realized that he was standing in the school hall, and all the classmates that Xie Dalang was familiar with were there.
He turned around and saw a beautiful lady walking towards him.
The beauty had eyes like waves, lips like cinnabar, and a bright smile between her brows. Her light cloud-colored skirt danced with her graceful lotus steps. She and her personal maid held square wooden boxes and walked around the desks of more than thirty students one by one. If it was a man, she would give a small sachet, and if it was a girl, she would give a hair accessory. Each person's box was unique.
The men and women who got her things couldn't let go and became much more enthusiastic about her.
Xie Yun saw the other "him" sitting silently in his seat, flipping through a book. When the girl came closer, she called him in a soft voice: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, this is a sachet I made myself, I hope you don't dislike it..."
A pair of beautiful white hands handed an exquisitely embroidered sachet to "him". In the dream, "he" raised his eyes, looked up along the pair of fair wrists, and met the girl's nervous and cautious eyes.
At one glance, the girl quickly lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was uneasy.
"He" looked at her quietly, then took the small sachet from her hand and said thank you.
Seeing "him" accept the small gift, the girl immediately smiled and said, "I hope to thank you for your guidance in the future."
"He" just nodded faintly.
The girl didn't bother to argue and went to the next classmate.
After the people left, "Xie Yun" rubbed the blue sachet that was half the size of a palm with her slender fingers. The bulging sachet was soft and it flattened when she pressed it lightly, but it inflated again when she let go.
"Xie Yun" picked it up and put it to his nose and sniffed it, then his brows relaxed and his eyes widened, thinking that it was a smell that "he" would like.
Nowadays, most of the gentlemen in Jiankang like to mix perfumes, so this thing she gave as a gift could come in handy.
"He" casually placed the small sachet on the corner of the table and continued to flip through the book in his hand.
The scene changed, the stars moved, the lights dimmed, and Xie Yun saw himself sitting alone in Mu Hua Courtyard. "He" drank one glass of wine after another, raising his head and drinking it all up.
Looking closely, I found that "he" had a shaggy chin, a crooked crown, messy hair, his clothes were soaked with wine, and several empty wine jars were rolling on the ground.
This young man, who was admired by everyone in Jiankang, was now drunk with his face flushed and mumbling something incoherent.
Xie Yun approached quietly, bent down, and put his ear close, only then did he hear the disheveled man calling out someone's name.
"Qin'er...Qin'er..."
The man threw down the wine glass, picked up a brown tile wine jar at his feet, tilted his head back and took a gulp. The wine flowed down the corners of his lips, jaw, and neck, sinking into his clothes and soaking a large area. Then the man held the wine jar in his arms and continued to murmur: "Qin'er...Qin'er..."
Xie Yun clearly saw that the "him" in the dream was sad and decadent, his misty eyes were red, and two lines of tears crossed his handsome face.
“He” actually cried? !
It's impossible. Would a cold-blooded person like him also have a day to shed tears of pain?
No way! This can't be true!
In the end what happened? !
What on earth is going on with this dream?!
At this time, a young man rushed into the yard from outside, and the maids and servants could not stop him at all.
"Brother!"
It’s my third brother Xie Qi!
Looking at Xie Qi's outfit, her black hair is combed up on top of her head and fixed with a hair crown. She is already a young adult. Could this be what will happen in the future?
"Brother, why are you doing this?!"
Xie Qi felt deeply saddened when she saw her proud cousin so depressed.
He stumbled over, grabbed the collar of "Xie Yun", and said angrily: "Brother, please stop drinking! It was you who didn't want to be with cousin Luo in the first place! She gave you a chance!"
"What did you say then? You said that people should know themselves and not be sentimental. That's why Cousin Luo left sadly. Now you've tortured yourself into this state. Who are you doing this for?!"
"Wake up! Cousin Luo is already the official's woman! Do you still want to fight with the official?"
