Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 58
Guan Ziyang went to Zijin Courtyard alone.

Another national curse was blurted out.

"It's so fucking big!"

This other courtyard covers an area of ​​more than ten acres, the walls are made of blue tiles and white bricks, and the courtyard is filled with towers and waterside pavilions, which is boundless at a glance.

He exclaimed, "This is the real big manor. Those Wubao families in Fuling are not worth mentioning at all!"

In this land of Zhongshan, on the banks of high mountains and flowing water, the water diversion surrounds the farm, and bamboos and trees are dotted all over it. The garden is in front of the courtyard, and there is an orchard in the back mountain.

The villa is located in a dangerous place on the mountainside, and there is no road behind Chongxiu. The central part of the courtyard is patrolling back and forth from time to time. Let alone bandits, even if it is an army, there are no 5000 people, and this house cannot be captured!
"In the future, I will also have to build such a noble house, when Qing Chan, Wei Yiqing, and Shi Qi will all have to live in it..."

"Wait, it seems that something strange has been mixed in..."

"What is Shi Qi, get out of my other courtyard..."

Guan Ziyang was sitting in the living room waiting for someone, and since he hadn't seen anyone for a long time, he began to think wildly.

After waiting for a while, I have planned my Guan family mansion in a mess in my mind, but the master still hasn't come.

I changed three pots of tea and ate four or five plates of pastries.

Finally a loud voice came to mind!

"Little friend, I'm sorry for waiting for a long time!" The white-haired general walked quickly from outside the hall and said.

It was Xie Yi!
Guan Ziyang rushed to greet him: "It's been a long time, old friend, and you've already returned to Jiankang? I thought you weren't here!"

"Little friend, come to my humble house. I will come to see you. I received a letter from the flying pigeon at home. I brought up my inner strength and rushed a hundred miles to come here!"

Guan Ziyang's jaw dropped in shock!

He thought to himself: "The Xie family's legs are well-deserved!"

He asked again: "Running for hundreds of miles? General Xie really appreciates the face. I don't know where the old friend came from?"

Xie Yi took his hand affectionately, and replied: "Last month, I reported to the imperial court, and I recommended myself to be reinstated as the prefect of Jinling."

According to history, Xie Yi should be helping his elder brother Xie Shang, governor of Yuzhou, to govern Yuzhou. Why is he still applying for a mere prefect to do it now?
"If you encounter a problem that is inconsistent with history, it should be your problem." Guan Ziyang thought so.

"Little friend, this trip to Jiankang, did you come here for a fixed product?"

"Exactly."

"That means that little friend has already learned something in Luofu Mountain?"

Guan Ziyang bowed deeply, and thanked him: "I also want to thank the general for his cultivation. Such a great kindness, I really feel that I can't repay him!"

Xie Yi helped Guan Ziyang up, and said with a smile, "You can thank my third brother if you want, hahaha..."

Guan Ziyang replied: "It's just that I don't know where An Shigong is now, I should pay my respects in person."

Xie Yi said: "It's easy, let's go tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? So soon, but Xie An should be in Kuaiji, so it's not far away." Guan Ziyang thought.

Xie Yi ordered: "Come here, don't serve tea to my friend yet!"

Guan Ziyang hurriedly said: "I've already drank three pots, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink for the time being."

"Hey, what I made for you is different."

Xie Yi greeted again: "Go to my study and get my Luofu tea."

The servant who followed him ran away immediately.

Guan Ziyang said: "Luofu tea? You are ignorant and ignorant. I haven't heard of what kind of fairy product it is. I don't know the tea ceremony. I'm afraid I'll spoil my old friend's good tea in vain."

Xie Yi said: "This Luofu tea is produced in Luofu Mountain. The tea trees are irrigated with the water of alchemy gold liquid every day. The taste of this tea is unique, and it has the effect of refreshing."

"There are only a dozen tea trees irrigated with Dan water every year, and the tea leaves are only three to five catties. I have saved them for three years, and only three or two."

"I'm very happy that my little friend came to visit today, so let's be generous once and drink two taels of it."

Xie Yi laughed out loud.

Seeing that Xie Yi treated him so generously, Guan Ziyang was moved...

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to repay this favor in the future..."

After a while, the servant reported back: "Master, Miss Yuan has served Mr. Guan with Luofu tea, and it's gone."

"No more?" Xie Yi was shocked.

"No left for me?" Xie Yi was about to explode when he remembered that Guan Ziyang was still here.

So put away the excited tone, and said lightly: "Drink it, drink it, it was prepared for the young master."

However, there was no way to hide the regret and pity on his face.

Guan Ziyang said embarrassingly: "The boy has been here for a few hours, and he has nothing to do. After drinking a pot, he added another pot, and finished drinking, so he added another pot..."

Xie Yi said: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, these three liang of Luofu tea can get into Guan Gongzi's mouth, it's their good luck..."

Xie Yi said in his heart: "No, you have to come up with something good, otherwise he thinks that my Xie family despises him, what should I do? The third brother has repeatedly told me."

"Come here, go and bring up the Yan Guo offering cake that was rewarded by the Queen Mother the day before yesterday, and give it to Mr. Guan to taste."

The servant replied in a low voice: "Miss Yuan has already sent it out, Mr. Guan has finished eating..."

Guan Ziyang was embarrassed again, and said in shame: "I didn't eat lunch, I ate it as a meal, my appetite is a bit big..."

Forehead…………

The atmosphere was extremely cold.

At this time, a little maid ran in, whispered a few words in Xie Yi's ear and left again.

Xie Yi said: "Come here, cloth screen."

Then he said to Guan Ziyang: "Mr. Guan, little girl Tao Yuan, I want to see Mr. Guan, and I have a question to ask. Is it possible?"

Guan Ziyang thought: "Just now the servant only said it was Miss Yuan, he didn't know who it was, Xie Yi's daughter Tao Yuan, isn't it Xie Daoyun."

It turned out that when Guan Ziyang arrived at Zijin Bieyuan early in the morning, Xie Daoyun was the only one at home. There was no adult or male lead at home. She definitely couldn't come out to meet guests, so she ordered the housekeeper to entertain him.

By the way, he also offered tea in his father's study that he himself was not willing to eat.

Seeing that Guan Ziyang was in a daze, Xie Yi hurriedly said: "The young master came to the door for the first time, and the young girl asked to meet him. It is indeed wrong, but the young girl is just stubborn by nature. I hope the young master will not think that the young girl is Meng Lang, hehe."

Seeing that Xie Yi misunderstood him, how could he care about the difference between men and women.

He hurriedly replied: "No, no, thank you, General Qianjin, it's my honor to meet you, I'm just worried about Lingqianjin, I don't know if I will come back."

After a while, four servants came over carrying a huge screen and surrounded the door of the inner hall behind the house.

Through the screen gauze, a beautiful figure is slowly reflected on it.

Guan Ziyang stepped forward and made a bow: "The Guan family in the Hexi area of ​​Fuling, the name is Ziyang, the character is missing, and I met Miss Xie."

Qianying behind the screen returned a salute, and a lark-like voice replied: "Wanfu, Guan Langjun."

Xie Yi said with a serious face: "Yuanzi, Mr. Guan just arrived in Jiankang today, and the boat and car are exhausting. If you have any questions, please ask quickly. We will leave tomorrow to see your third uncle."

Xie Daoyun replied: "Yes, Dad." But Guan Ziyang seemed to be unfriendly when hearing her tone.

Xie Yi's expression changed from sullen to joyful: "Hey, don't get in the way, don't get in the way, Yuanzi just speak slowly."

Guan Ziyang was happy in his heart.

"Xie Yi wanted to show his majesty in front of Guan Ziyang, but unexpectedly her daughter didn't buy it... This Xie Yi is probably also a daughter slave, haha."

Xie Daoyun said: "Guan Lang-jun, my younger brother Youdu sent you a letter two years ago, have you read it?"

Guan Ziyang recalled that Xie Yi asked himself to wait at Guan's house, just waiting for this letter, so he replied: "I read it."

"Then Mr. Guan, what do you think of the writing in the letter?"

Guan Ziyang remembered the letter at that time, he was astonished as soon as he opened it, and he was still puzzled in his heart: "Xie Xuan looks like a straight guy, why does every word he writes look like a beautiful girl... "

Guan Ziyang replied: "I only have a superficial understanding of calligraphy, so I don't dare to make unreasonable comments. In short, the writing is excellent."

Xie Daoyun said: "Mr. Guan Lang is too modest. With your calligraphy attainments, you can only say that you have a superficial understanding. How can others dare to write."

Guan Ziyang wondered, what calligraphy skills do I have?

At this time, the maid behind the screen came over with a piece of paper and handed it to Guan Ziyang.

Guan Ziyang took it and looked at it. Isn't this the reply letter he wrote to Xie Xuan at that time.
