Seeing Xie Zichen walking away, Wei Lan turned her eyes away and landed on Xie Jie.
She still remembered what she wanted to do for Xie Zichen.
Xie Jie had been sizing up Wei Lan secretly for a long time, and seeing Wei Lan's unabashed fascination with Xie Zichen, he couldn't help but be a little cautious, looked at the beautiful man in front of him, and said with a low smile: "What do you think my elder brother looks like?"
"Peerless." Wei Lan raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Jie in front of her. He is also considered handsome, but compared with Xie Zichen, his temperament is much muddier, which makes people dislike him. Wei Lan has always been more tolerant of men, but there are differences in preferences, like Xie Jie, maintaining basic demeanor and etiquette is the limit.
If someone else asked, Wei Lan might not exaggerate Xie Zichen's exaggeration, but compared with Xie Jie, Xie Zichen's goodness is inevitably exaggerated.
Hearing Wei Lan's words, Xie Jie smiled, showing a clear smile, playing chess with Wei Lan, and said: "Wei Shizi knows my fourth brother?"
"The last time the younger brother fought with Mr. Xie Bing, it was the fourth son Xie who came to visit the younger brother." Wei Lan didn't say much, but asked instead: "Sixth son Xie seems to be very curious about the matter between me and the fourth son? "
"I have a very good relationship with the fourth brother. The fourth brother doesn't have many friends. Seeing that Wei Shizi is so enthusiastic, I thought the prince is a friend of the fourth brother. I can't help being curious." Xie Jie smiled, and the black button fell on the chessboard. Wei Lan knew that he was testing her position, she lowered her eyes and said with a smile: "The Fourth Young Master is a rare beauty in the world, and Lan is very fond of beauty."
"Then I don't know whether the son's joy for the beauty is to get this beauty, or to help this beauty?"
Never thought that the other party would ask such a direct question, Wei Lan was slightly taken aback, and after a while, she asked Xie Jie: "If Mr. Xie Liu likes a woman, do you want to hide her and ask for it? Or let her support the clouds, and then become someone you can't touch?"
Xie Jie smiled, and a chess piece fell on the chessboard, blocking Wei Lan's large piece of chess. Xie Jie looked at the chessboard and said, "If Wei Shizi doesn't dislike it, then I will raise the chess piece?"
"Please." Wei Lan said calmly: "The sixth son Xie is the third son of the Xie family, and his future is limitless. Lan is very lucky to be defeated by Mr. Xie today. How about a drink?"
"Brother Wei wants to have a drink, how could Jie not accompany him?" Xie Jie laughed loudly, beckoning people to bring up the wine, calling Wei Lan brothers and sisters, as if he would not return home drunk.
The two drank for a while, Wang Xi organized a game of throwing pots and poetry, and formed a group of people. Xie Jie pulled Wei Lan into a group, and they all looked like good brothers. Wang Xi couldn't help feeling a little sour, and said to Xie Jie: "Xie Liu, you are not authentic, obviously I invited Brother Wei, but now you have become good brothers with him."
"Wang Qi, don't be too sad." Xie Jie was a little drunk, patted Wang Xi's chest and said, "Everyone here is your good brother! Brother Wei, just let me!"
The crowd burst into laughter, Wang Ning spread her fan and whispered to Xie Zichen, "I bet you that Xie Jie must have another purpose."
"Nonsense." Xie Zichen's eyes filled with disdain, Wang Ning shrugged, sighed and said, "Zichen, if you have any difficulties, remember to tell your brother."
They are all bastards, what can they help
Without saying the hurtful words, Xie Zichen recalled leisurely that Wang Ning back then was just like himself, with a fateful life, and did not become an official until the age of twenty-three.
Ordinary people in the state of Chu become officials, adopt the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and are promoted step by step by Zhongzheng officials. The children of the nobles need to enter the Taixue, where they will be assessed year by year. After the assessment is completed, someone from the clan will recommend them to become officials. It's just that the number of places to enter the Taixue is limited by each family every year, so the concubine is generally given priority, and then the concubine is ranked according to the status of the concubine.
Wang Ning's mother's status is not high. Originally, his age just caught up with this wave of accompanying students, but there are many children in the Wang family. The Xie family has only two of the right age, but the Wang family and the concubine have a total of seven. Wang Ning didn't want to enter the palace to accompany her to study, but she became a knife in the hands of her brother. After being forged to frame another concubine, she was expelled from the Wang family by the head of the family on the grounds of misconduct.
It's been many years since I left, and when I entered the imperial school, it was a full three years later than the normal noble children.
Xie Zichen also only lived in his thirties, already one-tenth of his life.
Thinking of the fate of his good friend, Xie Zichen couldn't help but sigh, and said to Wang Ning, "You should be more cautious in the future."
Now that the decree of accompanying the reading is still in the palace, it is estimated that only some aunts know the news, and illegitimate sons like Wang Ning definitely don't know about it.
Wang Ning glanced at Xie Zichen suspiciously. Seeing that he didn't say any more, knowing that this friend was thinking deeply, she didn't ask further.
Wei Lan, Wang Xi, and others are fighting and fighting. For someone like Wei Lan who has been on the battlefield, she can play archery and throwing pots better than most people with her eyes blindfolded. Xie Zichen and Wang Ning Hiding in the dark and talking, Wei Lan was always paying attention. Seeing them seem to be forgotten by others, she couldn't help but feel a little sour. It just so happened that she won too much, Wang Xi yelled: "No, no, Ah Lan is too slick in throwing pots. Compared with us, she needs to increase the difficulty."
"But you have blindfolded Ah Lan just now," Xie Jie said dissatisfiedly, "What else do you want?"
"It's okay, it's okay," Wei Lan waved her hand, she likes Wang Xi very much, this kind of beautiful and frank man won her heart. Although she lacks the courage to ask her to marry back, fearing that her head will turn green, Wei Lan is still very comfortable with him.
She always wants to pamper the man she likes, so she said, "What about Ah Xi?"
After playing for a while, she was already very intimate with everyone, calling Wang Xi's name with a gentle and loving tone, but everyone was so excited that they didn't notice Wei Lan's strangeness at all. Only Xie Zichen, who was sober next to him, watched all this and silently mourned the chastity of the men present.
Wang Xi circled the blindfolded Wei Lan with a fan, clapped her hands and said, "That's good, Ah Lan, you can't shoot by yourself, you have to cover your eyes, hold someone else's hand and throw the arrow into the pot." , that's how you win!"
"It's too much..." Lin Che, the son of the Minister of Punishment, said, "How is this possible?!"
"It's okay, it's okay," Wei Lan waved and said, "Then everyone stand still, and Lan chooses one person, okay?"
"Why not?" Wang Xi was a little excited, and hurriedly said, "Everyone stand still! Don't move!"
Hearing this, Xie Zichen felt a little bad. But everyone has been obediently still, and if he moves at this time, it is obviously too conspicuous. Everyone opened their eyes, and Baba watched the blindfolded beauty move, and the people present couldn't help their hearts beat a little faster. They were eager to choose themselves, and felt that their mentality of expecting a man to choose them was very strange.
Wang Xi was also very disturbed, seeing Wei Lan groping towards him, his heart beat a little faster. As a result... Wei Lan didn't stop, she walked straight forward, and she seemed to be walking in Lin Che's direction.
Lin Che's heart was also suspended, and she couldn't help but swallowed. Looking at the beauty who walked in front of her, her heart beat fast. However, Wei Lan stopped in front of him, but smiled slowly, that smile was like a breeze blowing across the calm lake in the night, it was cool but also soft.
"Brother," she said with a smile, "the sound of your heartbeat is too loud."
Lin Che's face suddenly became hot, as if someone had seen through some ulterior motives. Wei Lan groped and continued to move forward, passing through the crowd all the way, and then stopped at the very edge.
—that is, directly in front of Xie Zichen.
Xie Zichen silently looked at the blindfolded woman with a calm smile on her face.
She stretched out her cold hand and gently held his dry and hot palm.
His palm was much bigger than hers, with well-defined joints, white and slender. And although she seemed to be about the same height as him, her hands were extraordinarily soft, her fingers were long and slender, and they were a little soft to hold, which made Xie Zichen's heart flutter.
"Is this young man the last one? Then this young man will be the one."
As if she didn't know who the person in front of her was at all, she spoke with a smile.
Xie Zichen was a little depressed, but Xie Jie showed a meaningful smile.
Everyone's eyes fell on the two people who were holding hands. Wang Xi lamented and shouted: "Alan, you did it on purpose. There are so many people present, how could you go so far and choose the most beautiful one?" Xie Zichen?!"
"Oh? So it's the Fourth Young Master Xie?" Wei Lan showed a surprised look, and then said with a smile: "That's really Lan's luck."
Xie Zichen didn't speak, and said silently in his heart, you make it up, keep making it up, you say it, I believe it.
"Thank you, Fourth Young Master." Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Wei Lan said, "Would you like to help me throw an arrow?"
That's the question, but he didn't let go of his hand.
The rules of the game have already been set, and it would be too hypocritical to say no at this time. Although she has broken sleeves, they are both big men, and he is not missing a piece of meat.
Xie Zichen thought for a moment, then said, "Please, Mr. Wei."
Wei Lan smiled: "Then please thank the Fourth Young Master for helping me over. After walking so far, I don't remember where I threw the pot just now."
Xie Zichen: "..."
How did you remember my location so accurately
He didn't say these words, held Wei Lan's hand, helped her to the side of the pitching pot, followed the rules just now, reminded the blindfolded Wei Lan, "Three feet southeast."
Wei Lan nodded, and said to Wang Xi, "Ah Xi, here comes the arrow."
Wang Xi put the arrow in Wei Lan's hand, and said seriously: "Alan, I'm going to make a bet this time. If you can't throw it in, treat me to a drink. If you throw it in, I'll treat you to a meal." Wine, how about it?"
"It's easy to say," Wei Lan said with a smile, "Ah Xi has spent a lot of money."
Wang Xi snorted coldly, and Wei Lan walked behind Xie Zichen with the arrow, embraced him from behind, put the arrow into his hand, and wrapped his bigger hand with her cool and soft hand.
Xie Zichen frowned slightly. They were about the same height, and they were still teenagers at the moment. Although there were some differences, they were not much different. He could clearly smell the fragrance of orchids on her body, feel her warm breath on his neck, and the hands around his waist, as well as the hands holding his hand and the arrow.
"Wei Shizi, it's just throwing arrows. You can just hold my hand. There's no need to hold my hand like this, right?"
Xie Zichen really couldn't hold back, seeing her not moving for a long time, he was dissatisfied and opened his mouth.
Wei Lan laughed lowly, and said seriously: "Shiro, calm down."
As soon as the words fell, her hand was strong, and Xie Zichen subconsciously cooperated with him and threw the feather arrow out.
The arrow fell steadily into the pot and turned around. Wei Lan did not let go of him, but moved closer, as if murmuring: "Look, I hit it."
She was too close, causing Xie Zichen to be in a turmoil. When he was about to get angry, Wei Lan suddenly let go of her hand, smiled heartily, and turned to Wang Xi who was staring at the pot in a daze, and said, "Ah Xi, make a decision." Days, let's go to the Drunken Immortal Tower!"
Everyone's attention was attracted by these words, only Xie Zichen stood where he was, with a lot of anger in his heart.
How dare this man...
He had been in a high position for a long time in his previous life, and he was habitually arrogated, which was usually kept under wraps, but at this moment it was finally aroused.
Wei Lan squinted at Xie Zichen's red and angry expression, and smiled in her heart.
Back then, chasing the miraculous skills of the sons of the great families, he had tried all kinds of skills. Look, even Xie Zichen couldn't help but blush.
It's just that she probably didn't think about it—
Xie Zichen's face was red with anger.
