In the past, Jiang Xuening thought about the eighteen ways of sage Kong; now, she couldn't help but start to think about her own eighteen ways.
The people who looked at her strangely before suddenly showed a little more sympathy.
After all, jealousy is jealousy, and contempt is contempt. No one would have thought that if he played the piano a little bit, he would be detained by Mr. No matter how gentle Mr. Xie looks, for a student, this kind of thing can be called "bad news", which is really scary.
So, in the next time...
Everyone took Jiang Xuening as a lesson from the past, even Shen Zhiyi, who had a relaxed expression before, also practiced the piano with great energy and seriousness, lest the next person left by her husband would be herself.
Jiang Xuening was speechless.
For an entire hour, she sat in her own seat and did not dare to touch the piano.
After school, everyone got up and said goodbye to Xie Wei.
Jiang Xuening couldn't help but turn his attention to other people.
She looked like Xiao Shu, who didn't show anything, but just glanced at her.
Someone like You Yue, who was obviously having a holiday with her, snorted softly from her nose, rather gloating over her misfortune.
Fang Miao looked at her pitifully and gave her a helpless look.
Jiang Xuening knew that others were unreliable, but still tried to grab the last straw, and couldn't help shouting when Shen Zhiyi passed by, "His Royal Highness Princess..."
Shen Zhiyi came over and shook her hand, and said earnestly, "Mr. Xie is very kind, you have to work hard."
Jiang Xuening: "..."
Shen Zhiyi also nodded at her encouragingly, clenched her fists, and then walked out of the hall.
Kind of desperate.
Everyone went clean.
Most of the palace people who were serving were also scattered.
The sky outside was shining white on the window paper.
Xie Wei put his Emei into the piano bag, slanted it in his arms, walked down from the hall, only looked at her and said, "Follow."
Jiang Xuening felt a chill in her heart, and she was about to keep up.
But he didn't expect to take a step, Xie Wei's footsteps stopped.
His eyes drooped down, and half of the light from the entrance of the hall fell on his eyelashes and pupils, making it darker and darker, reminding her, "Qin."
Only then did Jiang Xuening react, and she turned around and carefully hugged Zhang Jiao An, who had hardly touched it today.
Xie Wei left the hall and went straight to the side hall.
After all, there are some differences between him and other gentlemen, and he has always presided over the banquets in the palace over the years. This time, the palace has reserved the side hall of Fengchen Hall for him as a rest.
The closer Jiang Xuening got to the side hall, the faster his eyelids twitched.
Arriving at the entrance of the side hall, there was also a little eunuch who was leaning on the porch to wait. When he saw Xie Wei coming over, he straightened his body and came up with a smile on his face: "Young Master, it's hard work, it's time for school. Right? The Ministry of Internal Affairs has the autumn tea sent from Fujian a while ago, and I will make it for you?"
Xie Wei gave a light "um".
The eunuch wanted to go down to the tea room next door to make tea, but when he left, he glanced at Jiang Xuening curiously, as if wondering why Master Xie would bring a girl here.
Xie Wei entered the side hall.
Jiang Xuening's footsteps stopped at the entrance of the hall, as if there were some dragon pond and tiger's den inside, and did not dare to step in.
Xie Wei didn't turn his head back: "Come in."
Jiang Xuening's heart swayed, thinking that he was in the imperial palace now, even if Xie Wei had more ability in the dark, he wouldn't kill people in broad daylight, so he stepped in.
A warm breath came over him immediately.
She couldn't help but startled.
The side hall is much smaller than the main hall, and the layout is not so open, but except for the open door and the window to the east, all the doors and windows are closed, and there is a stove for burning silver charcoal.
The originally icy floor tiles were covered with thick fleece blankets, which were silent when stepping on them.
Tall bookshelves act as partitions.
There are various ancient books on it.
Going around the bookshelf, you can see a bookcase, a piano table, and a long wooden table on the northeast corner. There are several long pieces of wood on top, and tools such as rope ink, planes, and carving knives. set aside.
Xie Wei hung up his piano, then turned around and pointed at the vacant piano table to Jiang Xuening, but he sat down on the side of the heated kang by the window, looked down and said, "I heard that Ernie Ning was there yesterday. A little eunuch named Zheng Bao was rescued at the entrance of Kunning Palace."
Jiang Xuening had just put the qin down when she almost knelt down when she heard this.
She originally thought that Xie Wei was really going to instruct her to play the piano by leaving him alone, but she didn't expect that when she just entered this side hall, she said this, and her whole body suddenly stood up!
Saving Zheng Bao that day was in full view, even if she wanted to deny it, she couldn't deny it, not to mention now that Xie Wei asked him face to face.
This is someone who will rebel in the future, and he must have his own eyes and ears in the palace.
If you pretend to be crazy and foolish in front of Xie Wei, you are courting death.
Jiang Xuening forced himself to calm down, and replied indifferently, "Yes."
The thought in Xie Wei's eyes surfaced, and he actually said to her: "Wang Xinyi, the eunuch in charge of Sili Jian, is a popular man beside the saint. Although Zheng Bao works in the harem, he is an inconspicuous person in Kunning Palace. In charge of the eunuch, Wang Xinyi has been secretly admiring him, he is half a master of Zheng Bao, and because Zheng Bao is loyal and very filial, he has been looking for opportunities to promote him recently. Ning Er's kindness is a coincidence very."
Jiang Xuening never expected that he would know.
The most secret plan in her heart hadn't even been put on the table for a day, and she was challenged the next day, which really made her tremble.
She subconsciously lied and denied it.
You can raise your head and only look at Xie Wei's clear and clear eyes, as if he has seen her through, the courage that had just poured out for a while was completely wiped out, only to feel his throat dry and unable to speak.
Xie Wei looked at her calmly: "You know this, do you intend to save him?"
Jiang Xuening dared not admit it.
After all, Xie Wei had already warned her when she entered the palace last time, and asked her to stay under his nose and not make trouble or make him angry.
But in front of Xie Wei, he didn't dare to lie.
Because lying is worse.
In an instant, his mind turned a thousand times, and at the critical moment, Jiang Xuening remembered the previous trick to deal with Xie Wei in the main hall of Fengchen Palace, so he straightened the corners of his lips, raised his eyebrows, and buried his head with a slumped mouth.
There are so many sad things that you can cry just thinking about it.
When she raised her eyes again, her eyes were red, and there were tears in the bottom of her eyes, which were about to overflow like a rising tide in Pinghu, and she said aggrievedly: "There are so many things in the palace, what Wang Xinyi, Wang Jiuyi, I am only one. It’s only been a few days since I entered the palace, how can I know so much?”
"… "
Xie Wei looked at her and said nothing.
Jiang Xuening felt that his reaction was a bit wrong.
But the play has already been performed, is it possible that it can be taken back
She bit her head and continued to fake crying: "What's more, I didn't want to save the little eunuch called Zheng Bao at the beginning, but when we were passing by, we saw His Royal Highness Prince Linzi standing in front of him and seemed to want to save him, but then he interrupted His Royal Highness. I forgot about this. I saw that the little eunuch was pitiful, so I said something to Her Royal Highness the Princess. It was Her Royal Highness who really spoke to save people. Mr. Xie said last time that he wanted to believe me, but now there are so many things Where does it look like you want to believe me? Liar!"
The girl is in her youth, with a beautiful face, delicate and bright facial features, and even a little cold and glamorous publicity. However, when crying, he lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and made a small gesture, pretending to be pitiful.
There is so much cunning and petty evil etched in his bones.
While crying, he pretended to look at him casually, his black and white eyeballs were like moist glaze, and it was a bit seductive in the flow.
Xie Wei couldn't help but think: Does he look like someone who eats this kind of thing
Jiang Xuening cried at first because she thought that Xie Wei was eating this set, thinking that maybe she could get through this, but Xie Wei looked at her with this thoughtful gaze, as if unmoved.
The more you cry, the more hopeless you become.
Just at this moment, there was a light knock on the door, and it was the little eunuch who brought tea in and said, "Master Young Master, tea."
Her choking stopped.
The little eunuch brought two cups of tea, one was placed on the kang table beside Xie Wei, and the other was placed beside the piano table in front of Jiang Xuening. I wonder if he heard what happened in this side hall before, let alone raised his head. After taking one more look, he put down the tea cup and then bowed and walked out.
Xie Wei picked up the tea cup, lifted the tea lid, heard the crying stopped, and raised his eyebrows: "Don't cry anymore?"
Jiang Xuening: "..."
At this time, if you can't see that Xie Wei doesn't actually take this set, it's really mentally retarded.
She was honest: "Suddenly I don't seem to be so sad anymore."
Xie Wei said "Oh", took a sip of tea with a relaxed attitude, looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "I can't see it, learning the piano is not good, pretending to cry is very strong."
Jiang Xuening was sullen: "Aren't you afraid of your punishment..."
Xie Wei said: "If you don't do anything wrong, you are afraid of ghosts knocking on the door?"
Jiang Xuening murmured in a low voice, "Don't let ghosts go through the wrong door?"
Xie Wei stopped talking and looked at her.
Jiang Xuening immediately buried his head and didn't dare to raise his bar again: "Mr. Xie is right, how can you be a ghost, how could you not know the door?"
Xie Wei: "…"
He put down the tea cup and asked her again, "Why did you save Zheng Bao?"
Jiang Xuening's face was awake, but his mind was already spinning rapidly.
To be honest, it must be dead.
But if you want to tell all lies, Xie Wei will not believe it.
So, she immediately came up with a compromise idea, and forcibly removed the resistance and defense in her heart, making herself look weaker and more sincere at the moment, and said, "Xue Ning first arrived in the palace, and there is no support. Come on, sir, Yan Lin, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess want me to enter the palace and show off the limelight, and the other companions will naturally treat me like an enemy. It’s a dangerous step, and I don’t know how he will die. I was afraid, so when I came back, I passed by Kunning Palace and thought that if I could save a little eunuch, it might be useful in the future.”
Xie Wei was silent.
Jiang Xuening's voice became quieter, justifying himself: "My mind is impure, but no one else has given me a chance to be a good person. Seeing what I did, Mr. only blamed me, but he never put himself in my shoes. think."
No one knows better than Xie Wei what happened in the Cining Palace, and how much of it was involved afterwards.
Hearing Jiang Xuening's mention at this moment, his eyes changed.
At the end, he asked her, "Are you wronged?"
Jiang Xuening nodded: "grievance."
Xie Wei did not speak again.
Jiang Xuening's heart was beating wildly, and when he raised his eyes, he was slightly afraid, but he still hid a bit of hope, and asked tentatively, "Well, that Zheng Bao is really so powerful, will he be promoted by that Wang Xinyi in the future?"
This looks like he didn't know that Zheng Baoyou was so powerful, but just learned from him just now.
Xie Wei couldn't help but want to distinguish the true from the false.
She just lifted her eyes and saw her sitting behind the piano table with her hands on her knees, her long, dark eyelashes moistened, and her snow-white cheeks still stained with previously unwiped tears, she finally turned her heart. After reading, he said, "That's it."
He said to her: "Wang Xinyi has this plan, but things in the palace are changing rapidly. If you are optimistic about one person today, it may be a complete failure tomorrow. Some business operations in the palace are not a bad thing, but if you accidentally get involved in a fight, it may not be a disaster. And myself. I am both entrusted by Yan Lin and invited by the honorable person, so I will give you a few points, and you should act carefully and never make mistakes. "
The words "walking wrong and wrong" are meaningful.
Jiang Xuening knew that he was not referring to the simple act of benevolence to Zheng Bao in order to ask someone to take care of him in the palace, but he was also warning himself not to use Zheng Bao to report his intentions against him.
She narrowed her eyes and said, "Yes, Mr. Xie makes a point."
Xie Wei said: "Qin, try again, let me see."
Jiang Xuening was still thinking about the "wisdom battle" with Xie Wei. He didn't even think he would change the topic, but he would just talk about Qin, so he was stunned for a while before he reacted—
After making trouble for a long time, I still have to open a small stove for her.
She thought that she would let her go after talking about Zheng Bao!
Jiao An was placed on the piano table.
Jiang Xuening wanted to die.
Xie Wei frowned slightly when she saw that she was not moving, and said, "I'm fine this afternoon. If you don't play, you'll be wasting it here."
Who wants to spend time with you here!
It's more terrifying than staying with Lord Yama!
Jiang Xuening weighed the two, after all, the desire to survive overshadowed the lack of backbone, took a deep breath, sat up straight, put his fingers on the strings, and stumblingly played a short piece of Xie Weijiao's "Xianweng Cao".
This piece, also known as "Tuning the Strings into the Lane", is an open-fingered ditty most of the beginners know, mainly used to practice fingering.
Although Jiang Xuening didn't touch the piano in the hall, he deliberately memorized this little song.
At this moment, it popped up, although the harmonizing fingering was not accurate, there was nothing serious.
Xie Wei looked at her fingers and said, "Keep playing."
Jiang Xuening didn't dare to say anything more, and he took it to his heart in one breath, and when he raised his hands and fingers again, the collapse became even tighter.
This time, I only lowered my fingers, and the first tone was heavy.
Xie Wei got up and walked to her piano table to take a closer look.
It's just that the more he looked, the more mistakes Jiang Xuening made, and the playing was not as good as the first time.
Xie Wei knew that she was afraid of herself, but this was also an unsolved matter, and he always had no distractions in the matter of the qin, so he said: "This song corresponds to the whole text, and the end of each sentence is scattered and pressed. Tight, let it go a little looser when you play it."
Jiang Xuening tried to relax and played again.
Xie Wei only said, "Dead wood is hard to carve." Seeing that although her right hand seemed to be loose, the five fingers of her left hand were still curled up, and the fingering was wrong, so she frowned, leaned forward slightly, and stretched out her hand.
Jiang Xuening's fingers were as thin as green onion roots, and there was a touch of powder under the transparent nails, even if the fingering was not accurate, it looked really good when pressed on the strings.
When learning the piano, the jade bracelet and bracelet were taken off.
Xie Wei originally wanted to teach her the correct fingering, but as soon as he approached and lowered his eyes, he saw that thin wrist was exposed. on snow-white skin.
Although it faded, it was still a little dazzling.
The finger he just stuck out stopped for a while.
Jiang Xuening felt that she was much better than the first time after playing the game just now. She was thinking that she had made progress and deserved a compliment, but she didn't expect Xie Wei to call her back by saying "dead wood is hard to carve", and he didn't expect him Suddenly he reached out to himself.
At this moment, the whole person's scalp was numb.
Looking at Xie Wei's gaze again, it was right on the scar on her wrist, and she suddenly became so frightened for some reason that she hurriedly stood up for fear of being touched by him!
"Bang!"
She had been sitting in front of the piano table, but she got up suddenly and anxiously, bumped against the edge of the table in front of her, tripped over the brocade stool behind her, and suddenly the table topped over, and even her whole body screamed and leaned back.
Xie Wei immediately stretched out his hand when he saw it—
His azure crane cloak, with wide sleeves, like a ride in the wind, passed Jiang Xuening's eyes.
Then…
He firmly embraced the Jiaoan Guqin.
"Boom" sounded, the piano table fell, and the brocade stool also fell. Jiang Xuening's butt fell into the thick fleece blanket, it hurt a little, and his eyes were a little dull.
That Zhang Jiaoan landed safely in Xie Wei's palm.
He stood holding the piano and looked at her.
Quiet.
In addition to quiet, still quiet.
Xie Wei: "…"
There seems to be something wrong
Jiang Xuening: "..."
No, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
