Chapter 373: A Person Like Jade

Of course, it was Xie Xinghan.

There was no need for the Face-Changing Prince to be fragrant or lewd. Although the little beauty Xie's status was noble, among those locked up by the Prince of Badong, she was not considered important. Even Liu Zhao and Zong Rui occupied the status of the Nieyang Liu clan and the Nanyang Zong clan, which were the four major clans of Jingzhou. Furthermore, Liu Zhao was a school official, which belonged to a position that was not heavy but not light.

Although the Chen Jun Xie clan was more noble than the four major clans, it had no foundation in Jingzhou. And although the Xie family's power and influence were far beyond that of school officials, they were beyond reach for Jingzhou.

(Emphasize again, the clans in the medieval period were not one surname being one force as often played in TV dramas, but were based on each family as a unit. A family is also called a sect, which specifically refers to a single branch under the genealogy. For example, Xie Xie Niangzi Le said how the Le family was, it mostly referred to this family of Le Zhan, not the entire Yuyang Le clan. Saying the Xie family here is the same. About this point, see the appendix to Chapter 159, 'Great Debate'.)

However, family and surname cannot be understood as completely separated. n families belonging to the same surname, although not as exaggerated as sharing honor and disgrace, also carry similar meanings. If one family or several families rise, the momentum of the entire surname will also increase. Communication and alliance between the same surname are also more convenient than different surnames. As for families with the same surname and close branches, they can support each other. For example, if the Prince of Badong wants to kill Liu Zhao, he must not only consider Liu Zhao's own family, but also the entire Nieyang Liu clan. Even if other families of the Liu clan have a distant relationship with Liu Zhao's branch, they will not be willing to see a Nieyang Liu clan being killed as one pleases, because this relates to their own survival situation. Therefore, when discussing personnel at that time, one must discuss both surname and family. The text above first says how the Xie clan is, and then says the Xie family, which is also the case.

So although little Xie was a card for the Prince of Badong, he was not in a hurry to play it. Since he was not in a hurry to play it, sending her as a favor was a matter of course.

Wang Yang didn't say much and thanked him directly. But the Prince of Badong was relentless:

"Don't be in a hurry to 'thank' yet! You haven't guessed who it is and you 'thanked'. Is it 'thanked' too early? Actually, 'thanked' too early is fine, but if it's reversed, hehehehe, that wouldn't be good..."

The Prince of Badong deliberately emphasized the word "thank" every time he said it, full of bad taste.

Wang Yang: (→_→)

The Prince of Badong put his arm around Wang Yang's shoulder and lowered his voice:

"Seriously, you really have to thank this Prince! Otherwise, with your family background, it wouldn't be easy to marry this one—"

Wang Yang's brows furrowed slightly:

"When did I say—"

The Prince of Badong tilted his head:

"You didn't say? Then fine, this Prince won't release her either. This Prince doesn't lack her a bite to eat. Do you believe this Prince can raise her for a hundred years!"

"..."

A hundred years, are you raising a turtle!

"Last chance, did you say it or not?"

The Prince of Badong let go, straightened his face, looking like he was about to do business and lock up little Xie for a hundred years.

Wang Yang was also convinced, so he had to perfunctorily say:

"Said, said..."

The Prince of Badong had finally caught Wang Yang in a tight spot, and now he was relentlessly picking at him!

"Really said or falsely said?"

The Prince of Badong asked coldly.

Wang Yang could actually ignore the Face-Changing Prince completely. Anyway, little Xie was temporarily safe in the Prince's Mansion, and he would have his own way to save her later. But firstly, he was worried that little Xie would suffer, and one day earlier out of the Prince's Mansion was one day earlier. Secondly, the Face-Changing Prince's temperament was uncertain, and he was afraid of accidents if it dragged on for too long.

But if he raised a white flag all the way, this Prince of Badong would definitely push his luck, and maybe he would take the opportunity to pit him for hundreds of thousands.

"When the false is taken as true, the true also becomes false; when the true becomes false, the false becomes true. Whether I really said it or falsely said it is not important; what is important is whether Your Highness is really sending me a favor or falsely sending me a favor?"

Wang Yang looked at the Prince of Badong, his expression calm, unable to see joy or anger.

The Prince of Badong was confused by Wang Yang's roundabout way. After a little pondering, he subconsciously skipped the mysterious dialectic of true and false, and instinctively chose the last sentence he could quickly understand and respond to:

"Of course it's a real gift!"

Little did he know that it was precisely this brain's tendency to avoid difficulty that made him lose the rhythm of the conversation unknowingly.

Wang Yang asked:

"Since it's a real gift, why does Your Highness have to make things difficult for me?"

The Prince of Badong was stunned. This gift-giving and winning people's hearts was originally a good thing. If it had the opposite effect, it would be counterproductive. He quickly smiled, showing his teeth, and put his arm around Wang Yang's shoulder again:

"Look at you, why are you still not recognizing a good heart? This Prince is helping you! With the Xie family's lintel, it's not easy for you kid to reach! But with this Prince in charge, it's different! Now within Jingzhou, this Prince has the final say. If you take the opportunity to do something during the rescue, hehehehehe, who can manage it? Once the raw rice is cooked into mature rice, the Xie family has to recognize it even if they don't—"

The staff widened their eyes, all with expressions of having eaten a melon!

Wang Yang said lightly:

"Your Highness's kindness, I accept.

It's just that the love pass is like water; if you rub it hard, it will break; marriage is like snow; if you pass the fire, it will disappear.

Your Highness's plan can be called a furnace fire; even if it becomes a Qin-Jin marriage, it will be boring.

Besides, although my family's influence has declined, the family status is still there. (This is the difference between family and surname mentioned above)

The Langya marriage has always been taken from the straight, not sought from the crooked.

A man who holds a vessel, why worry about having no wife?

A husband who stands in the world, fame and merit are self-promised!

Now I follow Your Highness to carry out major events together. When the name is made and the industry is completed, and the universe is decided, why should I beg for the family status of the world?

Is the Xie family's lintel very high?

In my view, it is not high."

Wang Yang shook his head disapprovingly.

Everyone was shocked!

Sure enough, the Langya Wang clan, peerless talent! With this kind of spirit, who can compare to him?!

Even Chen Qiming felt inexplicably balanced in his heart. Even the Chen Jun Xie clan and the Xie Fei family were not in his eyes, so it was normal for such a person to look down on him, right?

The Prince of Badong wanted to use Xie Xinghan to soothe Wang Yang's heart, and at the same time had the intention of holding Wang Yang and taking another handle. That's why he encouraged Wang Yang to have crooked thoughts.

If Wang Yang refused and ruined the Prince of Badong's plan, how could the Prince of Badong not be angry? But he wasn't angry now! Not only was he not angry, but he felt a bit refreshed!

Badong clapped his hands, and the appreciation in his eyes was very strong:

"Happy! A man should be like this! This Prince knew it! You Wang Zhiyan are a person who can plan major events! Zhiyan, rest assured, after the event is completed, this Prince will definitely not treat you badly! When we enter Jiankang, this Prince will personally help you propose—"

At this time, Kong Zhangyu entered the door after finishing the matter and heard the Prince of Badong talking about entering Jiankang, so he quickly signaled with a cough!

The Prince of Badong glared at Kong Zhangyu:

"The shit on the side of the road—it's obvious. Whether you cough or not, we have to hit Jiankang..."

Kong Zhangyu: (¯﹃¯)

The sound of soldiers in the deep courtyard is dense.

Sitting cross-legged, chanting in the mouth, no need for books.

The black hair is slanted and the wooden hairpin is low, and the noble glory flows and overflows.

Unwashed, the fragrant posture is still strange.

The plain face does not reduce the beauty of the city, let the dust silk, hard to cover the ice muscle greasy.

Maid's clothes, fairy's intention.

The world vainly calculates the makeup!

But who knows, the show is from the heart, and the rhyme is in the spirit?

Why use gold hairpins to pile up precious buns, poetry and books cast clear instruments.

Added three points of arrogance.

The lonely room suddenly produces the color of the bright moon, shining on the secluded orchid, reflecting the cold sky green.

Ask whose daughter,

A person like jade?

Seeing Xiao Ning was sent to wash, Xie Xinghan closed her eyes, sat alone on the bed, wooden hairpin holding her hair, maid's clothes draped. Her spirit was like a lonely cloud coming out of a cave, setting off her youthful appearance; her posture was like a cold plum standing in the snow, highlighting her slender body.

I believe that the jade quality is heaven-made, not related to makeup; the fairy posture is innate, how can it rely on clothes?

Wearing a maid's clothes also wears out the dusty intention of a fairy outside the world, which is no one else.

Plus her face is calm, as if forgetting the disturbance of the world; her demeanor is leisurely, as if separated from the road outside the world, I don't know who thought she was cultivating immortality! Listen carefully, she is still chanting words in her mouth:

"The gentleman does not seek to be full in eating, and does not seek to be comfortable in living."

"A scholar who aspires to the Dao but is ashamed of bad clothes and bad food is not enough to discuss with."

"Full of benevolence and righteousness, so I don't desire the taste of people's fat and grain; good reputation is applied to the body, so I don't desire people's embroidery."

"Therefore, the sage's clothes are enough to fit the body and harmonize the skin! Not to honor the ears and eyes and watch the foolish people."

"Eating is not lazy and full, clothes are not sloppy and warm; secretly admiring the legacy of the poet, willing to entrust the ambition to plain food!"

Little Xie chanted leisurely and freely, with the bones of a fairy, and her expression was also very in place, even with actions to match! For example, when chanting the sentence "not enough to discuss with," little Xie shook her head contemptuously, as if it were not worth discussing at all. And when reading the sentence "willing to entrust the ambition to plain food," she had a self-respecting little look of high ambition and not admiring luxury, which was simply too spirited.

Xie Xinghan chanted with excitement, and stretched her arms forward, her slender hands beckoning, as if she wanted to fly:

"On the mountain of Miaogu She, there are gods living there. The skin is like ice and snow, graceful like a virgin; not eating five grains, sucking wind and drinking dew; riding the clouds—"

"Madam! Madam!!"

The door opened suddenly, and Seeing Xiao Ning rolled in with a rush of wind, the hem of her skirt still stained with unwrung water.

Xie Xinghan slowly retracted her arms, opened her eyes calmly, her tone was calm, like a high-ranking person:

"Seeing Xiao Ning, I told you long ago, when things happen, you should be calm, and the quiet will produce clarity. I have now seen through the external things of food and clothing, put life and death, honor and disgrace aside, not afraid of wind, not panicked when things happen, all kinds of situations can be—"

If it were a normal situation, Seeing Xiao Ning would wait for her own madam to finish pretending to be cool before speaking, but now she really couldn't wait! She blurted out:

"Young Master Wang is coming!!!"

Xie Xinghan's crossed legs jumped violently!

Her whole person rushed upward, and if it weren't for her limited skills, she would have jumped up like a rabbit!

The high-ranking aura on her body also cracked instantly! Her star eyes widened, her voice rose, with a bit of cracked panic:

"Who?!!!! What Young Master???!!!!!"

Seeing Xiao Ning said excitedly:

"Young Master Wang! Langya Young Master Wang!!!"

Xie Xinghan was like being struck by lightning! Her whole person froze, and she even forgot to blink!

In just a few seconds, her body softened and she fell backward!

Seeing Xiao Ning exclaimed and hurriedly stepped forward to help!

I saw Xie Xinghan lying on the bed like a piece of wood, looking at the roof, her star eyes lost, muttering:

"It's over, it's over, he was also caught, this is really a pot of stew..." ===== CHAPTER 374 =====
