Chapter 8 The Ninth Young Master of Duke Rong's Mansion
The sun was slightly slanting, and the academy also had evening classes. Xie Yiling quickly walked through the crowd and left the academy, then walked through the streets of the academy and poured into the crowded streets.
There was a shop called Shen Ji Pastry on the street. There was a long queue at the moment. Seeing him coming, a young man wearing blue and gray narrow sleeves in front of the long queue waved and called: "Xiao Ba Ye." , Xiaoba Ye is here!"
Xie Yiling glanced at the bag with the books, then walked over, threw the bag to the book boy, and took out some broken silver from his arms. At this moment, the person in front of him happened to have bought something, so he Go forward.
"I want a mince cake and a red bean cake."
"Okay, guest, please wait a moment." The waiter in the store quickly took the parchment paper and packed the pastries. "The total cost is one, two, five."
One tael of silver is worth ten coins, which is equivalent to one thousand copper coins. These two pastries cost one, two and five coins. In this era when two coins can buy a vegetarian bun and four coins a meat bun, it is very popular for ordinary people. I mean, it's really too expensive.
However, in this imperial city, some families have a lot of people, and Shen Ji's pastries are well made, so it is a skill to queue up to grab them every day.
Xie Yiling gave the money and then walked out of the crowd with the boy. Just as he was about to walk forward, he was knocked on the shoulder. The two turned around and saw a young master wearing a royal blue robe and a jade pendant tied around his waist. behind them.
At this moment, the young master was holding a fan in his hand, smiling nonchalantly: "Hey, isn't this the eighth uncle? Buying cakes? Are you going to the Changning Marquis Mansion?"
Xie Yiling's eyelids twitched: "It's none of your business."
Xie Yiling is wearing a blue scholar's robe and looks elegant and handsome. However, he is only ten years old this year and is still a young boy. The childishness on his face has not faded, but he likes to pretend to be mature with a straight face. It really makes people want to tease him. .
This person, especially Xie Yu, who is sixteen years old and has become someone else's nephew, is the worst.
"Oh, why is it none of my business? Aren't you going to see your little aunt? I just have some free time, so I'll go with you."
The Xie family has been inherited from the previous dynasty, the Great Qin Dynasty, and has been passed down for more than two hundred years. As early as the Great Qin Dynasty, there were several famous people, all of whom have been passed down through the ages.
More than forty years ago, the Qin Dynasty was in decline. The Xie family deeply felt that the Qin Dynasty had not long ago made the Xie family's children withdraw from the court, divided the Xie family into several branches, divided the family business and went their separate ways. The one who still insisted on staying was the Xie family in the imperial city. This branch.
More than thirty years ago, the Qin Dynasty fell and the Li family came to rule the world. They named the country Dongming, which means "when the sun rises in the east, the world will be bright", so it was called Dongming Kingdom.
The Xie family presented their wealth to the new emperor for peace. The new emperor saw that the Xie family was interested in the family, and there were no courtiers in the family. There were also several famous people in the family who were well-known to the world. They were really impatient, so they were liquidating When the old ministers and clans were separated, the Xie family relied on the influence of their ancestors to survive safely.
After the new emperor finished liquidating his old ministers and settled down in the court, he wanted to govern the world. However, after many years of war, and because the enemy and we were in different ways, there were too many enemies and too few people who could be used. At that time, someone recommended the old man of the Xie family, that is, Xie Yixiao's grandfather entered the court, and the new emperor made the decision after careful consideration.
After entering the court, the old man did a lot of practical things and made a lot of contributions to Dongming. When the world was stable, the old man Xie was afraid of the new emperor's suspicion, so he resigned because of his old age.
As a result, the new emperor felt relieved about the Xie family, and the Xie family finally got through the crisis between the old and new dynasties.
Not long after the old man resigned, the eldest son entered the court. Thirty years later, the old man had long since passed away. The new emperor had also left. His eldest son had become the old man of the Xie family. He was nearly sixty years old.
He was awarded the title of Bachelor of the Cabinet.
From the Qin Dynasty to the Dongming Dynasty, the Xie family was still the Xie family in the imperial city.
The children of the Xie family have always paid attention to etiquette and integrity, flattering high-profile people and being low-key. The children in the family also follow the ancestral precepts, but Xie Yu is an exception. He looks like a playboy from a powerful family.
He has his friends in every family of the noble clans, and his brothers are heroes from all walks of life. He rides horses and shoots arrows, listens to music and fights with crickets. He is omnipotent and omnipotent. If he is the most skilled person in the imperial city, he dares to be the third one.
No one dares to be the first.
Every time Xie Yiling saw his nephew, who was several years older than him, he felt his head start to hurt again.
"Are you leaving?"
Xie Yiling couldn't say that he didn't need to go, so he had to agree: "Let's go."
Xie Yu smiled, and then waved to the back: "Rong Jiu, let's go, I'll take you to the Changning Marquis' Mansion. It's said that Mr. Gu Erye has raised a lot of crickets, let's go and have a look."
Cricket?
Xie Yiling's face turned black.
etc.
Rong Jiu?
Xie Yiling turned around and saw a young man standing under a willow tree not far away. The man was wearing a white robe made of gold and auspicious clouds. His figure was as tall as a pine, and his temperament was cold and unpretentious. Just standing there,
Just like the bright moon in the sky, bright and clear, cold and dusty.
But such a person seems to be like the world and the earth blending together. If they don't look at it deliberately, few people will notice it.
At this moment, he turned his head and looked, revealing a handsome and handsome face. His demeanor was cold and unpretentious, as if there was no dust in front of him. When he walked, it was like the breeze blowing the bright moon and the bright moon shining on the capital.
Is there still such a person in the imperial city?
Xie Yiling paused, turned around and asked Xie Yu: "Who is he?"
Xie Yu grinned: "You don't know this, right? He is the ninth son of Duke Rong."
Xie Yiling was slightly surprised: "Why did he come back?"
Rong Ci, the ninth son of Duke Rong Guo, was the youngest son of Duke Rong Guo and his wife.
It is said that Mrs. Rong Guogong was only thirty years old when she gave birth to such a little boy. He was supposed to be raised with thousands of pamperings, but he was weak when he was a child. He asked a fortune teller to tell his fortune, and he was told that he had a bad fate and could not control this.
If you want to grow up safely in the palace of the Duke of Guo, you need to be well-educated.
So Rong Guogong's palace sent the ninth son to the temple to cultivate his moral character. It is said that he has been leading the practice.
A few days ago, news came that he had passed the disaster and could return home. Mrs. Rong Guogong went to pick him up happily, but this man wanted to practice cultivation and even said he wanted to be ordained and become a monk.
Mrs. Rong Guogong was angry and sick for many days.
Xie Yiling was a little surprised, Rong Jiu turned out to be like this.
However, it does have a bit of a clear mirror without dust. To say that Buddha nature may not exist, but the body is like an old pine tree in the breeze, and the mind is clear and dust-free.
Xie Yiling felt even more strange when he thought of this. He turned to look at Xie Yu: "Why is he hanging out with you?"
Xie Yu hit Xie Yiling's head with a fan: "How can you say you're a fool? It was Prince Rong who came to me in person, saying that he wanted me to take him to have fun and let him experience the fun of this world, especially
I think about becoming a monk all day long."
"How interesting this world is, how rich, prosperous, graceful and graceful, nothing can compare to that of the Qingxiu Temple..."
