While talking, two slim figures appeared in everyone's sight at the back door of the flower hall.
The woman on the left is wearing a yellow skirt and a white plain gauze shawl. Her hair is pulled into a high bun, undulating like clouds, with a unique style. There are some kinds of jewelry shining on the bun.
The woman's figure was well proportioned, slender but not thin. Her movements were gentle and graceful. When she walked slowly into the hall, under the candlelight, the woman's face emerged clearly.
The woman's facial features are exquisite and dignified, and she is a very beautiful woman. However, beauty is not the best adjective to describe her, but her overall feeling should be described as delicate, elegant, harmonious and comfortable.
Especially those eyes, which were clear and warm, with great charm. When she turned to look at the people at the table, they were as friendly as the warm sun and blue clouds, and the spring breeze blowing on her face. They were also as clear and clean as the bright moon of ice and snow.
Even without an introduction, Li Hui knew that she must be Xie Daoyun, a talented woman from the Jin Dynasty. Sure enough, after the woman arrived, several Xie family members stood up and saluted Xie Daoyun, calling them "sister". Xie Daoyun also smiled and nodded, signaling to the Xie family
The children sat down.
After Li Hui heard Xie Daoyun's voice, he was a little excited and thought: Today he can actually see this talented woman from the Jin Dynasty, but he doesn't know whether it meets his expectations and whether it is as described by later generations.
At this moment, after meeting Xie Daoyun, Li Hui knew that not only was the praise from future generations not excessive, it was not even enough.
Xie Daoyun may not be the most beautiful woman she has ever seen, but she is definitely the most elegant woman she has ever seen. Her manners are graceful and natural. Every move she makes seems to have an attractive magic power, unconsciously.
Gives people a sense of comfort and peace.
The strange thing is that according to what Xie Xuan said, his sister Xie Daoyun should be twenty-seven or eighty years old. But Li Hui did not detect any traces of time on Xie Daoyun. She looked like she was only around twenty years old.
"Dao Yun has met the fourth uncle and the sixth uncle. I came a little late, did I miss anything?" Xie Daoyun saluted Xie An and Xie Shi.
Xie An smiled and nodded: "Daoyun, you came just in time, you didn't miss anything. It doesn't matter if you missed other things, as long as you don't miss what Xie Xuan said about you."
Everyone burst into laughter, and Xie Xuan rolled his eyes to the sky. It was obvious that the fourth uncle was deliberately causing trouble, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "I heard everything. Xiaoxuan arranged for me behind his back. I will settle the accounts with him later. The guests are all here at the moment, so give him some face."
Everyone laughed again.
At this moment, the woman in lake green spring clothes who followed Xie Daoyun quickly came to Henry Zhang's side and said softly: "Brother."
Li Hui turned around and looked, suddenly surprised and happy. This woman Li Hui knew was Zhang Tongyun, the girl from the Zhang family whom he had met in the south house of the Gu family. It turned out that it was not only Henry Zhang who came to the capital, but also Zhang Tongyun who brought him to the capital.
My sister Zhang Tongyun came with me.
When I first saw Zhang Tongyun in the Gu family's south residence, I was amazed by her beauty, so I left a deep impression on Zhang Tongyun. After more than a year, when I saw the girl from the Zhang family again, I was still impressed by her beauty.
Stunned by her beauty.
Zhang Tongyun is wearing a lake-green waist-length dress, her hair is pulled up into a double-ringed suffix, tied one by one with colorful ropes. There is a gold walking stick stuck in the temple. The whole person is youthful and beautiful, and her beauty is indescribable.
In terms of appearance alone, Zhang Tongyun is undoubtedly the most beautiful woman Li Hui has ever seen. Otherwise, he would not have lost his temper when he first saw her, leaving a deep impression on her.
Henry Zhang looked at his sister and complained: "Tongyun, why don't you understand etiquette? You haven't gone to meet your elders? Have you met all the men of the Xie family? Why do you come here and salute me first? Isn't it rude?"
Before Zhang Tongyun spoke, Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "Brother Xuan, Tongyun is in the house every day, and my fourth and sixth uncles have met her many times. We have already regarded her as one of our own family members, so why should we show any courtesy? But you, my brother, , she is living outside these days and visiting friends, so of course she wants to pay you a courtesy first."
Zhang Tongyun smiled sweetly and said: "That's right, brother, Uncle Xie and I have become chess friends. We play chess every day."
Zhang Xuan said in astonishment: "What nonsense, how can you disturb Mr. Xie? How can you play chess with Mr. Xie? Aren't you just fooling around? If you do this, I can't leave you in the capital. You can go back to Wuxing with me this time." .Too much nonsense.”
Zhang Tongyun stamped his feet and said, "Brother, I'm not messing around. Don't accuse me unjustly."
Zhang Xuandao: "Are you still fooling around?"
Xie An smiled and said: "Xuanzhi, Tong Yun didn't mess around, don't blame her. I did play chess with her several times. Tong Yun's chess skills are very high, I can only give her three pieces to barely win. She didn't bother me, I just asked her to do it in my spare time. Daoyun can testify to this."
Xie Daoyun pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Yes. Fourth uncle likes to play chess, and Xuanzhi is his chess friend. Don't you know? Everyone in the Xie family is no match for fourth uncle. It happened that Tong Yun was good at this game, so he played a few games with his uncle. It's just a game. What's the point? It's not like Tong Yun pestered Fourth Uncle to play chess. If you want to blame it, you have to blame Fourth Uncle."
Xie An nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, blame me, blame me."
After Zhang Xuan heard this, he said nothing more. But he still said to Zhang Tongyun: "Then you must also pay attention to etiquette. No matter how many times we meet or how many times we play chess, the elders and venerables must be greeted with courtesy. There are so many brothers here. It’s just a courtesy.”
Zhang Tongyun nodded and said, "Brother taught me a lesson."
Zhang Tongyun really sat down and greeted everyone one by one, and everyone returned the gift. Everyone understood that this was Zhang Tongyun controlling his sister, and they couldn't say anything more. Zhang Tongyun's parents died early, and the eldest brother was like a father, so he controlled Zhang Tongyun. It should be.
Zhang Tongyun saluted all the way until he was in front of Li Hui. As soon as he saw Li Hui, Zhang Tongyun showed a look of surprise, and then his expression suddenly changed. His original smiling expression froze instantly.
"This is the young man from the Li family. His mother is Aunt Lanzhi from the Gu family in Wu County. Now the family has moved to Danyang County." Zhang Xuan thought that his sister did not know Li Hui, so he introduced her from the side.
Zhang Tongyun frowned and said, "I know, I know him."
Henry Zhang smiled and said: "It turns out we know each other."
Li Hui cupped his hands and said to Zhang Tongyun: "Li Hui, please be polite."
Zhang Tongyun gave a cold salute, turned around and walked away without saying a word.
Henry Zhang was stunned and looked at Li Hui in confusion. Li Hui was also confused. For some reason, Zhang Tongyun looked disgusted and extremely cold when he saw him.
"Li Xiaolang, don't be offended. My sister-in-law is ignorant and doesn't know the world." Henry Zhang whispered to Li Hui.
"No problem!" Li Hui smiled.
When Zhang Tongyun was saluting, Xie Daoyun had already sat down at the small table next to Xie An. Xie Xuan fawned over him and brought a softer goose down futon to Xie Daoyun, hoping to use it to offset the previous complaints about his sister behind her back. Xie Daoyun didn't He was grateful but refused to take it. Xie Xuan insisted on giving it, and the two siblings pushed it back and forth. Xie An laughed while watching. It was not until Xie Daoyun took the futon that Xie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
After Zhang Tongyun sat down next to Xie Daoyun, everyone had already sat down. Xie An coughed, and everyone became quiet and looked at Xie An.
"Everyone is here. Thank you Xuan for being the host tonight and hold a banquet for Xuanzhi. Xuanzhi will return to Wuxing County tomorrow, so we are here to gather together. Xuanzhi rarely comes to the capital. He has been very busy these days.
I couldn't entertain you either. Today I also took advantage of Xie Xuan and had a few drinks with Xuanzhi. Xuanzhi will come and go often when he is free from now on. You and Xie Xuan are good friends, so don't be rigid." Xie An said loudly.
Zhang Xuan bowed his hands and said: "Xuanzhi and his little sister came to Beijing. They were warmly received and taken care of by the people of your house. I am really grateful. If it were not official business, Xuanzhi would really like to stay a few more days. But I really have no choice. Today.
Xiao Xie held a banquet to see me off, and Xuanzhi was very touched. I hope that Mr. Xie, Xiao Xie and all the young masters of the Xie family will go to Wuxing if you have time to do so.
It feels like a home away from home.”
Xie An smiled and said, "Xuanzhi, you're welcome."
Xie Xuan also smiled and said: "Xuanzhi, you are the one who thanks me all the time."
Henry Zhang smiled and said: "Thank you, of course. By the way, I also want to express my special thanks to Miss Daoyun. My sister Tongyun has lacked some discipline and lacks etiquette. As the elder brother, I am also busy with secular affairs and have no time to discipline her.
Xuanzhi is very grateful to Miss Daoyun for being able to tolerate her and teach her. I originally wanted her to go back to Wuxing with me, but when I thought about it, it was better to stay with Miss Xie and learn more from Miss Xie, so
I'm afraid I have to bother Miss Xie for a few more days. Miss Xie doesn't have to be polite to her. If she does something wrong, don't condone her. Thank you very much."
Xie Daoyun smiled and waved his hand and said: "Brother Xuan, Tongyun and I have known each other for three years. She is very good, and we are close friends. Daoyun didn't notice anything about what you said. Tongyun is so cute and cute, how can you take it for granted?
My brother is just happy. How can I say that she is perverse and doesn't understand etiquette? I don't agree with this. Tong Yun can stay here as long as he wants, and he happens to be chatting with me and walking around."
Henry Zhang smiled and said: "Thank you very much."
Xie An raised his glass and said with a smile: "Come, don't be polite, let's have a glass of wine together."
Everyone raised their glasses, and Henry thanked him repeatedly and drank it all in one gulp.
