Chapter 40
After sending Fuxuan to Fufu and returning to Tingfengyuan, Xie Zhan went straight to the study.

I don't know if it's because he drank a lot, or if he and Fuxuan spent a long time in the same carriage, the air is thin, since just now, he has felt a little bit after drinking Wushi San, floating like a fairy, with a floating heart It's heavy, and it can't fall down.

It was past midnight, Shi Qing saw that he did not go to wash and rest, but entered the study door in official uniform, and touched the back of his head suspiciously.

Young master, isn't he... not sleeping?
He was still wondering about Xie Zhan's abnormality, when a displeased "Shi Qing" came from the study.

"coming!"

Shi Qing lifted his spirits and strode over in response to the sound.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold of the study, Xie Zhan asked coldly with dignity: "Who has entered my study these few days when I'm not here?"

"Yes." Shi Qing said frankly, "Mrs. Wang Shao came here three days ago."

Mrs. Wang Shao mentioned by Shi Qing refers to Xie Xinyao.There are two daughters in the Xie family, the eldest daughter Xie Xinyao and the youngest daughter Xie Xinxuan.Xie Xinyao is married, Shi Qing is a servant, so she has to be called according to her husband's family name.

"What is elder sister doing here?" Xie Zhan asked.

"I said I came to see the calligraphy and painting you made recently." Shi Qing replied calmly.

Xie Xinyao is very talented, he often composes poems and paintings with Xie Zhan, even after getting married, because Wang Sanlang is not good at such elegant things as poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, he often goes back to Xie's mansion to discuss knowledge with Xie Zhan.

Xie Zhan has always respected this elder sister, so she let her in and out of the study.But that was also when he was around, and it was the first time she came here when he was not around.

"She also took the painting I didn't finish?" Xie Zhan continued to ask, with obvious dissatisfaction in his voice.

Although the words were questions, there was no doubt in the tone, except for his eldest sister who would come here every now and then to ask for his pen and ink, no one else in the Xie family would be treated like this.

Therefore, before Shi Qing could answer, Xie Zhan waved away impatiently: "Forget it, you step back."

It's just a painting, she has taken a lot of it before, this time it is still unfinished, why does the young master react so strongly?
Shi Qing couldn't help recalling the scene in the painting, and after realizing the difference, his eyes with obvious whites on his honey-colored skin suddenly opened, which was quite comical.

He looked at Xie Zhan behind the table, pretended to walk away, but hesitated a few steps, and asked, "My lord, but what is the different meaning of that painting?"

"When..." Xie Zhan squeezed out a word, and suddenly he almost blurted out that the painting book was to be given away, his voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes were sullen.

"Heh, you've grown up now, you're starting to think about me."

Shi Qing was exposed to Xiaosi in person, smiled sarcastically, waved his hands and said: "Don't dare." But he didn't move.

Xie Zhan took his eyes away from his face, went to the painting tube to get the drawing paper and spread it out, knowing that he was still there, he added casually: "I don't think you are afraid, you didn't even care about helping the girl." Dare to arrange, when did you become so courageous?"

Seeing that the young master had a ruddy complexion, and he had the momentum of chatting for the first time, and he mentioned Fu Girl, Shi Qing was so courageous, he rubbed his hands, and laughed twice, "How dare you, young master, directly bring people into your room?" carriage."

Xie Zhan's hand holding the pen stopped, and his sword eyebrows frowned slightly.

Is he so obviously out of proportion tonight?It was so obvious that even Shi Qing noticed something was wrong.

Immediately, he murmured to himself in a low voice: "I owed consideration tonight."

Shi Qing didn't take it seriously, and retorted: "The lady-to-be will come in sooner or later, not to mention using the son's carriage, from now on even the son's bed will be given her... half..."

Before Shi Qing finished speaking, he knew that he had made a slip of the tongue. What he said was not only rude, but also vaguely showed Meng Lang who was not in compliance with the rules.

Seeing that Xie Zhan was going to raise his head to teach him a lesson, smoke rose from the soles of Shi Qing's feet, and he fled away with a "swipe".

But no matter how fast he ran, it couldn't be faster than Xie Zhan's movements.

With the sound of a wolf's hair breaking the wind, only a scream of "嗤呜", a black shadow ran around in Tingfengyuan. If the eyes were better, you could still see it. Behind her back, she tightly clutched her buttocks in a very imageless manner.

The rooster crowed in the morning, and the sky gradually dawned.

When the candle that had been burning for half a night was gradually extinguished, Xie Zhan finally put down his pen on the five peaks jade.

He fixed his eyes on the newly made one based on the original one, his eyes showed satisfaction, and after a while, he raised his hand and pinched the center of his brow.

Tsk, that's a lot to ask for.

You need paintings, poems, words, and tunes.

He had to listen to the tune to her face to face, and he combined the paintings, poems, and characters in one place—he mentioned a poem he wrote on the painting.

This time, it should satisfy her.

Xie Zhan twitched the corners of his lips when he thought of those charming eyes smiling at him.

It's a love to laugh and love to act like a baby.

In the morning, he was full of vigor again, and remembering Shi Qing's nonsense words on the bed, Xie Zhan became hot for no reason.He rolled his Adam's apple, straightened up and went to the bathroom, and it was already daylight when he returned.

Quietly used the food, and then set off to Dali Temple to go on duty.

**
Because of the previous consecutive days of solving cases, Xie Zhan accumulated more holidays.It just so happened that there were not many cases in the yamen recently, and when everyone was free, they took turns to rest for half a day.

Today, as usual, he can take half a day off.Therefore, it was already noon when he arrived at Dali Temple.

As he expected, the news of Yu Hao's drowning spread throughout Jiankang City overnight.

No, as soon as Xie Zhanfu entered the room, his Shangfeng Yang Siqing, as if he had finally caught the audience, immediately talked about the interesting things he was best at.

"Have you heard? Your criminal, Yu Sanlang, drowned last night!" Yang Siqing asked cheerfully, with a look of rejoicing.

Xie Zhan shook his head, pretending to be ignorant, and strode forward, sitting in front of his desk, staring at Yang Siqing with an expression of waiting for him to speak.

Encouraged, Yang Siqing's interest immediately became high, she sat down at Xie Zhan's table, slapped her thigh, and continued: "The imperial doctor said he was stupid. Yes, the smoke was thick and the fog was heavy, so he had to go to Xizhao Lake to swim in the lake, but somehow he drowned. After being rescued, he invited the imperial physician from the palace overnight, but nothing happened. If it is the future, it is fate , is also a numb person, and most of them will have to lie down for the rest of their lives."

Xie Zhan pretended to be new to the news, shook his head cooperatively to express his regret, and said a Buddhist saying: "Don't think twice before you go, you can only say that he is like this, there must be a cause and an effect."

If he hadn't harmed other people's family first, and got involved with his innocence, how could she take revenge on him?

Yang Siqing echoed: "Isn't it!"

Xie Zhan asked again: "What happened to him? Did he go alone? Didn't the attendant go?"

Yang Siqing patted his thigh again, "It's such a coincidence! When the attendant reported the crime in Jingzhao County, he said that his young master saw Luoshen and hurried to catch up with him, leaving him on the shore."

Xie Zhan smiled softly, "He thought he was Houyi? He even went after Concubine Mi. It's just a myth. Did he drink too much?"

 Note 1: Concubine Mi, that is, Luoshen.

  There is a story between Concubine Mi and Hou Yi: Concubine Mi swims in Luoshui, and her beauty is spied on by Hebo.Hou Yi (Da Yi married Chang'e, not the same person) in the Xia Dynasty admired Concubine Mi and was known to He Bo. He Bo married Concubine Mi.He Bo sued the Emperor of Heaven, but was ridiculed by the Emperor of Heaven, and made Hou Yi and Concubine Mi perfect.

  Here, I want to say a few words:

  The hero and heroine are set to be the ancient aborigines of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. They are aborigines. They are not time-traveling or rebirth, and they are limited by time and family.The author tries his best to set up a character that is close to that reality.The heroine is, there is perseverance in weakness.

  Those who can see this, I believe they can still accept this style, I hope you can watch it happily~
