A Lady’s Tranquility

Chapter 151: Get up

Views:

The next morning when he got up to go to school, Jiang Xuening's eyes were slightly red and swollen. Others naturally saw it, and only thought in their hearts that she went to Mingfeng Palace yesterday and didn't know what she said to Princess Leyang.

Fang Miao was almost unable to get up.

The palace servant on Yangzhizhai's side grabbed Shi Chen and dug her out of the warm bed. After she washed and washed, she came out top-heavy, and saw Jiang Xuening standing demurely under the porch outside, she cried and said: " Did I get drunk last night? I didn't make a fool of myself, didn't say anything nonsense to offend Her Royal Highness, right?"

Jiang Xuening smiled and shook his head.

She was relieved.

Zhou Baoying was very surprised: "Did you drink alcohol last night?"

Fang Miao rubbed her head and said, "His Royal Highness called for a drink, and she also celebrated the birthday of the second girl Jiang, can't you just follow along? Oh, my head is swaying, it doesn't look like my own..."

When You Yue saw it, she laughed mockingly beside her.

There was no wind and no snow last night. This morning, from the east, thin clouds covered the glazed tiles in the palace complex. It was a rare good day.

School is still in Fengchen Hall.

Everyone walked along the long road in the palace. Most of the other people are familiar with each other these days, and they walk in front of them and whisper, guessing what the gentlemen will talk about today, and what formulas will be tested in the Protestant Go. Jiang Xuening walked behind, listening for a while, and then he was absent-minded after a while.

Just after turning a corner and arriving at the palace road in front of Fengchen Hall, Chen Shuyi at the front couldn't help but let out a "Huh": "Isn't that the person serving by the Holy Master, why are you here?"

Jiang Xuening followed the voice and looked up.

It was Zheng Bao.

I haven't seen him for a few days. After he was promoted by his master, Wang Xinyi, the eunuch in charge of India, he seemed to be getting better in the palace. The dark green robe he was wearing was fresh, and he was holding a whisk in his hand. He had red lips and white teeth, and he looked handsome. He was frowning lightly at the direction of the east side hall, and asked the little eunuch standing in front of him. what.

The little eunuch replied a few words, bowed slightly, and went to the side hall.

Zheng Bao stood upright, and when he turned around, he saw the Yang Zhizhai crowd walking over.

In front of Kunning Palace in the past, everyone watched Zheng Bao get punished, and was rescued only by Linzi King Shen Jie's love. Later, I heard that one of his eunuchs in the harem had the ability to go to the emperor's side to serve, secretly amazed for a while.

Seeing him here now, I can't help but be a little surprised.

Jiang Xuening also had doubts in his heart.

Before everyone could ask any more questions, Zheng Bao was very thoughtful, looking at their brows and expressions, he had already guessed it roughly, and he took the initiative to nod and said: "Last night, Mr. Fengchen Hall is a side hall. The Holy One didn’t want to disturb him early in the morning, but he brought up a few tricky matters, and he must go to discuss it, and he must come to disturb Mr.

It turned out to be thank you.

This is true. Jiang Xuening still remembered that Xie Wei stayed in the palace very late in the last life, and when he stayed in the palace after giving the key to the palace gate, he was almost always in Fengchen Hall. One is close to the emperor's palace, so it is convenient to listen to the calls in time; the other is close to Wenyuan Pavilion, so if there are lectures, it is also convenient to go.

When everyone heard Zheng Bao's remarks, their doubts were resolved, and they all bowed to him, passed by him, and entered the main hall of Fengchen Hall to wait for the lecturer.

Jiang Xuening watched his nose and heart as he walked by, but did not look at Zheng Bao more.

After waiting in the hall for a while, Shen Zhiyi was followed by a few palace servants. It's just that she didn't come too early. She just glanced at Jiang Xuening and smiled, and Sun Shu, a doctor of mathematics from the Imperial College, came.

Jiang Xuehui had asked someone to find two chess books for her to look at, saying that during her absence, her husband started teaching Go, and it was true.

Sun Shu's "Ten Classics of Arithmetic Studies" has already covered half of it.

Compared with other gentlemen, he is still a young man. Although he is not a bookworm, he is addicted to mathematics. He puts on a posture and tells them that many things in this world imply the way of mathematics. Go, for example, seems to be more thoughtful than anyone else, but in reality, it is someone who thinks faster and calculates more far-reachingly.

Jiang Xuening never expected this game to happen. He was not good at Go, and he was absent for several days because of the Tongzhou incident, so he didn't know what was said before. Although the man was sitting in the hall honestly, frowning and listening earnestly, his mind was still like a mess.

If you don't understand it, it's easy to get distracted.

Her position was right by the window, so she was bored and naturally looked outside, making a little errand. Unexpectedly, not long after she wandered out of the sky, a figure in a blue robe came in from the left side of her field of vision, startling her.

Xie Wei was choked by the charcoal gas from the fire in the imperial kitchen last night, and coughed. When he returned to the side hall, he tossed and turned all night and did not sleep well.

The little eunuch came to invite him, and he got up.

The complexion is not very good. It's just that since the beginning of winter last year, his complexion has not been particularly good, and others can't see it.

After a short wash, he came out of the side hall.

At this time, lectures had already started in the main hall, and the voice of the doctor of mathematicians from the Imperial Academy of China came from inside, and he could not help but subconsciously glance over there.

As a result, this glance made him see Jiang Xuening.

In the cold weather, the window sash was half-closed, her pink and white slap face was embedded in the crack of the window, her palm supported her sharpened chin, and her usual gleaming pupils showed a bit of sluggishness, and she did not move for a long time. .

Obviously deserting!

When Xie Wei saw it, his footsteps stopped, and his brows were already furrowed.

Jiang Xuening was far away from him, but the moment he saw him stop and look at her, he already felt a chill running up his spine, and he shivered. Close the sash.

The line of sight was suddenly cut off.

But the sudden sound also disturbed Sun Shu, who was talking about Go in the hall. When he saw Jiang Xuening by the window, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What is Miss Jiang doing?"

Everyone looked at her.

Jiang Xuening sneered and explained, "It's a little cold outside because of the wind."

After all, she was sitting on the tuyere.

Although Sun Shu was slightly dissatisfied with her making a noise during her lecture, she didn't say anything, turned her head and continued to talk.

Jiang Xuening listened for a while, and seeing that Sun Shu didn't pay attention to himself, he leaned forward and quietly opened the window sash.

Outside the hall, the cornices of the Xia Xia are bright and jade steps.

But Xie Wei disappeared.

Thinking that Shen Lang was still waiting for him, he had no time to stop and argue with her about these little things.

People are not allowed to go to school and make a desertion. What

Jiang Xuening muttered in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was reasonable, so he let go.

Unexpectedly, after the morning study was over, someone came to "invite" her in the afternoon.

It was the little eunuch who was serving in the Fengchen Palace before, and he bowed his head respectfully and said to her: "Sir, Miss Jiang Er hasn't entered the palace to study for a long time, and she should have left a lot of homework. I'll let you go in the afternoon. , it is up to Mr. to take the school test."

Jiang Xuening suddenly felt like a concubine.

As if his feet were filled with lead, he moved back to the side hall of Fengchen Hall step by step, and when he entered the hall, he saw that Xie Wei was already sitting behind the familiar desk, holding a fine pen in his hand, writing a memorial .

She came forward to greet him.

Xie Wei didn't lift his eyelids, and the pen in his hand was running smoothly without any lag. He only asked, "Tongzhou has been playing around for a few days, and I've been playing wild. When I go back to the palace, I don't even listen to my schoolwork?"

Jiang Xuening thought wronged: "I heard it today."

Xie Wei turned his long fingers lightly, the pen was separated, he took out a seal from the box next to him, took the time to look at her, and said lightly: "Listen to when the flowers bloom outside and when the snow melts, so that you can go out and let go. ?"

It shouldn't, it shouldn't, it shouldn't be that she deserted and was caught by Xie Wei.

Jiang Xuening put her hands behind her back, her fingers clenched.

Thinking about the Shoubanxin that Xie Wei had beaten, and listening to his four words "let the waves and the bones" seem to mean something, she couldn't help but remember that she had spoken to Xiao Dingfei on the way to the Cining Palace yesterday, for fear of being turned over to these accounts. In the end did not dare to talk back, just buried his head.

Xie Wei stamped the seal on the memorial, closed it again, and called the little eunuch outside to come in and hand it to the cabinet. Looking back, seeing Jiang Xuening being bored like a quail, he couldn't help but feel bored.

It doesn't look so lively.

He watched for a while, then suddenly said, "You don't understand what Sun Shu said?"

Jiang Xuening suddenly raised his head to look at him in surprise.

Xie Wei said: "It's no wonder that I can understand it after I have been missing the church for a few days. It's not hard to guess."

What Jiang Xuening was surprised was not that he guessed this, but that he was willing to guess it. After all, it seemed that she had to be questioned about deserting her before, but once she said "I don't understand", it had nothing to do with her.

Xie Wei didn't look like he wanted to be held accountable.

She blinked, and a bold idea emerged in her heart, and she tentatively said: "Master Sun's speech is boring and boring, and the students can't keep up with him. I heard that Mr. , you teach me?"

These words first stepped on Sun Shu's feet, and then lifted Xie Wei up, which was an incomprehensible flattery and flattery.

Xie Wei felt that if she followed her past temperament, she must have frowned and told her to correct her attitude.

After all, Sun Shu in Guozijian was not a mediocre person.

Just seeing her obediently standing in front of him with her hands behind her back, her sluggish eyes were filled with agility when she deserted in the window in the morning, like a reindeer that has never been seen by a stream in the forest, and she felt a lot better.

The corners of his lips froze for a moment, but he finally drew an indistinct arc, and said, "I don't know what kind of rudeness I have made when you are so ignorant."

He got up and sat by the window and put the chessboard on it.

Jiang Xuening hit the snake and followed the stick, and immediately said "Sir, it's so nice", and then sat opposite Xie Wei.

She found that Xie Wei was a real person who was soft and not hard. As long as he didn't face him with thorns all over his body, it was always easy to coax him. No, no, this is Xie Ju'an, who kills without blinking an eye. She really ate the guts of a bear's heart and a leopard. How dare she use the word "coax"

Must not, must not.

Show some respect!

Jiang Xuening was startled by the word that popped out of her heart, and pulled back the thought of going astray in time.

Xie Wei put the chess box next to him.

He was dressed in a blue-green Taoist robe, with dark cloud patterns rolling on his sleeves, like pine waves and clouds.

"Playing chess has to be calculated, it's really a method. It's just that if my generation talks about Go, it's more about 'potential'." Xie Wei did not reject Sun Shujiao's teaching. He glanced at her and felt that she was a girl. The family liked Bai, so they put the box of Baizi on her right hand, "Calculation is a technique, if you can get 'potential', you can get the Tao."

Jiang Xuening looked at the box of chess pieces.

When he accidentally raised his eyes, he found that Xie Wei's right hand had five slender fingers, which was really good-looking, but the knuckles in the middle of the ring finger were wrapped in a thin layer of silk cloth, which faintly revealed the fragrance of the ointment.

A thought came to her mind, remembering that she saw a wound on his hand when she was in Tongzhou, but she couldn't remember where or which finger it was, so she said, "Is your hand still healed?"

Xie Wei went to grab the finger of the chess piece.

His naturally closed eyelids lifted, his lips pursed, and he looked at Jiang Xuening opposite, but did not speak for a long time.

Jiang Xuening felt a drum in his heart, and somehow felt that there was a bit of chill in his eyes, his lips were squirming, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak.

A long, heart-pounding silence.

After all, Xie Weixian withdrew his gaze and ignored her question at all, as if he hadn't heard him, and continued his previous words: "On the Go board, you can play soldiers, but the mind is what fights. If the soldiers are soldiers. Since ancient times, water can carry a boat and also capsize it. The gain or loss of one piece may be trivial. If it accumulates for a long time, it will be difficult to guide and cause trouble. Therefore, the chess player should make the best use of the situation, such as governing the people and controlling the water. This chessboard If you can understand a little bit about the knowledge of the past, whether you are a person or doing things, you will not be confused to such a state!"

Being a person and doing things, confused to such a situation

Jiang Xuening felt that he had something to say.

But she didn't know much about Xie Wei, and she didn't know what she did wrong. She only thought that this half-sage was ridiculing her stupid head and didn't dare to ask.

And Xie Wei's words suddenly reminded her of Shen Zhiyi's marriage...

Water can carry a boat and capsize it.

This is not the first time Jiang Xuening has heard this. He knows that it is a sentence often said in the court, but he has never taken it too seriously. However, Xie Wei said that playing chess is like governing the people and controlling the water, but it made her think.

It should be noted that the reason why Xiao Shu was able to overwhelm her in the previous life was that in addition to growing up in a big family in Beijing and having a lot of knowledge, Jiang Xuening pondered privately, for fear that she had learned a lot of things when she entered Fengchen Palace, which would accumulate over time.

Now, Xie Ju'an and the others are in front of him...

She touched a chess piece, rubbed it lightly with her fingertips, her eyes flashed, and said, "Are people the same as chess pieces? The chess piece is played by the chess player, but each has a heart, and it grows in the stomach. In. Playing chess can fiddle with the pieces, but people want to fiddle with... "

Xie Wei remembered what the little eunuch said back and forth last night, and now he just wants to take off Jiang Xuening's beautiful head and put it on the chessboard, asking her to reflect on herself, but she didn't care what she asked, and just answered indifferently: "Heroes create the situation, and the situation pushes the hero. Although it is unpredictable that people's hearts will turn their backs, they are also afraid of heroes. If you don't think carefully, others will fan the flames a little, and your heart will follow the trend. What's the difficulty?"

In fact, the human heart is worse than this chess piece.

A gust of wind blows over, and the chess pieces can still stand still; a few words blow over, but people's hearts always fluctuate.

Jiang Xuening closed his eyes and realized something.

Some things always have to be useful, so that people can learn with humility and diligence.

When she learned today, she was very serious.

Xie Wei answered her questions and answered her doubts and talked about chess for an hour and a half, which she respectfully thanked. Because of the thoughts in his heart, he didn't notice Xie Wei's thoughtful eyes when he left. After leaving the Fengchen Palace, he counted the time and waited on the only way to the Cining Palace. After a while, he saw Xiao Dingfei come out.

She deliberately hit the front palace road and walked past.

When Xiao Dingfei saw that she was alone, he thought for a moment, and after walking for a while, he excused that he had left something in the Cining Palace to look for, and turned around to find Jiang Xuening.

It's getting dark now.

Standing under the corner of the palace wall, Jiang Xuening didn't talk nonsense.

Xiao Dingfei's handsome long eyebrows suddenly twitched.

He didn't refuse at all, and asked directly, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Xuening asked him to listen to him, and said so and so, so and so.

Xiao Dingfei was greatly puzzled: "What do you want to do?"

Jiang Xuening said: "You can't do it if you say it is possible."

Xiao Dingfei laughed, how could he lose face in front of a beauty? He patted his chest and said, "It's all up to me, but..."

Jiang Xuening looked at him: "What?"

Xiao Dingfei scratched his head: "If there are too many people, it will take some money."

Jiang Xuening frowned, thinking about all the money he had in his mind, thinking that he still had tens of thousands of taels of silver in Xie Wei's hands, and felt a little worried.

Just another turn of the brain, the eyebrows will be flattened again.

You Yue had been raised for a long time, and it was time to find a chance to kill her.

She smiled and said, "It's easy."
