Chapter 9:

After exposing the gloom to each other, Xie Jie and Wei Lan quickly established a revolutionary friendship.
And after Xie Zichen was ready to prevent Xie Jie from killing himself, he couldn't help being a little worried.
In his previous life, Xie Jie used the simple trick of inserting a poisonous needle on the spring outing. Now he adds Wei Lan, who has done meritorious service in killing people from the frontier fortress, and at first glance, he is not a good person and role. He is afraid that the situation may be. changed.
Just a Xie Jie, Xie Zichen doesn't care. It is not easy for him to kill Xie Jie, but it is much easier to prevent Xie Jie from moving him. But now that Wei Lan was shot out in the sky, this matter began to become a matter of life and death.
No one knows better than him how contemptuous a person can be to human life after killing someone. Anything that can completely solve the problem without leaving the roots will never let that person live.
Thinking of this, Xie Zichen couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Closed the account books of his shop, called out his little servant to thank Tong, and said, "Now the flow of funds is basically no problem, and the informants are almost spread out. You and Jin Jin build the dark part according to the plan. Also, Let the informant watch Wei Shizi more closely."
"Yes." Xie Tong responded respectfully, and Xie Zichen waved his hand tiredly, making him retreat.
After he left, Xie Zichen looked at the beam and thought a little desperately - or, a little compromise?
As soon as this thought came out, many thoughts came out.
For example, Wei Lan actually looks good;
For example, he also compromised for a period of time, dealing with the opponent, not to let the opponent get close;
For example, even if he was close, as long as he didn't do too much, Wang Ning went crazy at the time, and it seemed nothing.
For another example, in fact, if Wei Lan is on your side, it is still very useful. After all, she is the only one in so many families. She has private soldiers, brains, righteous favors, and is not sure. Will he die in the future and have no history of fighting each other in his previous life?
These benefits flooded up, Xie Zichen sighed, and asked himself—thinking so much, do you have the ability to play with a prodigal, but refuse it?
Thinking back to his last life that had been a bachelor for more than 30 years, Xie Zichen had no confidence in himself when it came to feelings. I have never liked anyone in my life, the only person who seems to have moved his heart, he stabbed himself to death in the end...
This kind of emotional experience, it is estimated that no one wants to try.
But now, even if it doesn't work, you have to force yourself to work hard. After all, nothing is natural.
So Xie Zichen thought for a while, and finally decided to at least hold Wei Lan first, until after he enters the palace as a companion.
He was an activist, and immediately asked Xie Tong to prepare his clothes and went directly to the Wei Mansion.
It was midnight, and Xie Zichen didn't go through the main entrance. He walked directly over the wall from the backyard of the Wei mansion. He just jumped onto the top of the wall and saw a figure with wide sleeves in a jade color standing in the courtyard, holding a jade flute in his hand. Just looking at him in surprise.
Starlight fell in her eyes, and when the peach blossoms had come to scatter, the wind blew over her, swirling around her. Standing alone among the peach blossoms, the young man smiled calmly and said calmly: "Thank the fourth son, it's been a long time."
Xie Zichen pondered for a moment, before he finally made enough mental preparations, it seemed to collapse again at this moment.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that he was not a person who could commit himself to a man.
However, he is used to forbearance and dormancy. In order to climb up in his previous life, he has walked over the difficulties and difficulties. Now it was just a few months of hypocritical dealings with a man, a good-looking man who looked like a gentleman, and he could bear it.
So he made up his mind, raised his head to look at the young man who was quietly looking at him, and said seriously: "What Wei Shizi said before, do they still count?"
After listening to Xie Zichen's words, Wei Lan immediately understood that she and Xie Jie were too close, and Xie Zichen was worried. She couldn't help but curled her eyebrows with a smile, and said gently: "What I say to the Fourth Young Master Xie, I always say what I say."
"Then I promise you." Xie Zichen raised his eyes to look at her and said calmly: "If you don't marry a wife, I won't marry a wife. And you won't get people close, neither men nor women."
Anyway, he did not have Wei Lan in his previous life, so he lived like this...
Those noble ladies of the aristocracy, the good ones do not look down on him, and he does not look down on the rest. After finally becoming an official, he has been so busy and so busy.
He has always had a habit of cleanliness in emotional matters, and he would rather not be too lazy. Instead of finding someone to live with him, he might as well live his life alone.
Therefore, if Wei Lan's words were not for the more pronounced meaning of the words that made him unacceptable, they would literally mean it, but he wouldn't care.
Think about it, he said again: "Including you, don't get close to me at will."
"Yes." Wei Lan nodded. In fact, she was not so anxious, waiting for her to regain her identity, at least... to settle down. She just wants to raise a jade cabbage, she simply doesn't want the pig to be overwhelmed.
Having said this, the two seemed to have nothing to say. Wei Lan looked at the handsome youth who was squatting on the wall, and couldn't help but softly said, "Go down first, you are tired of squatting on it."
Xie Zichen thought about it, and thought he wanted to ask Wei Lan about Xie Jie's views. With only Wei Lan's verbal promise, he was still a little worried. So he turned over and jumped off the wall. Wei Lan subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but the boy in black fell on the ground very accurately and calmly, obviously a practicer.
Wei Lan couldn't help but laughed, but she didn't feel embarrassed. She retracted her outstretched hands and praised: "Thanks for your handsome skills."
Xie Zichen didn't respond to her praise, and directly said: "How did you discuss with Xie Jie?"
"It's not easy to come here. Why do you talk about these disappointing things when you come up?" Wei Lan sighed and led Xie Zichen to the stone table. Xie Zichen remembered that he had to deal with her "hypocritically", so he didn't. Rejected, after sitting down frankly, he watched the person in front of him lift the hip flask that was sitting on the table, and listened to the other person saying: "Tonight Lan saw the moonlight is very good, so I wanted to play the flute to comfort the beauty. I thought it was a general I was watching the moon all by myself, but I didn't want to thank the Fourth Young Master who came, which really surprised Lan."
She said, she poured a glass of wine to Xie Zichen, and said gently: "This is the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed I brewed last year, the fourth son of Xie might as well try it."
Xie Zichen nodded and took a sip.
His movements are extremely standardized, and every move seems to have been deliberately trained for a long time. The rigid standard is different from Wei Lan's self-contained appearance, but it is also particularly beautiful because of the standard.
Looking at the beauty drinking, Wei Lan couldn't help but feel more joyful, and said: "I will play the flute for the fourth son of Xie. After you and I have finished drinking and listening to the flute, it is not too late to discuss Xie Jie."
Xie Zichen nodded, asking for help, what else could he say.
Wei Lan laughed, and then a brisk tone rang.
She is proficient in six arts, especially flute. Even if he doesn't have any good feelings for her, Xie Zichen can't help but admire from the bottom of his heart, this person's flute skill is indeed the pinnacle. It was a simple tune. In Chu State, it was sung by a man when he was pursuing a woman, but she was blown away by her with an extraordinary mood. The mood and posture of a man's anxiety and joy when courting a woman seemed to come to mind.
While blowing and blowing, Wei Lan changed to a soothing tone. Xie Zichen sips the wine quietly, feeling quiet inside. His dislike has faded a lot, as if he stepped on a leaf boat with a low voice, standing on The bow, slowly moving between the waves.
His figure was reflected on the surface of the river, and the moonlight shone across the surface of the river. He did not rush to break through these shadows, and his heart was clear.
Xie Zichen couldn't help but drank a few more glasses. After Wei Lan blew it, she watched Xie Zichen raise a pair of clear eyes, quietly looking at her.
His white cheeks are slightly red, and the depths of his clear eyes are a little dazed. Wei Lan couldn't help but smile and lowered her head.
Her breath spit on his face, with a slight orchid fragrance, and her hair was in the wind, tucked between his neck, and itchy.
She raised her hand to hook his hair away, her beautiful face with a smile that had always been leisurely.
"Sixth Young Master," she whispered, her voice mixed in the night, and asserted: "You are drunk."
So for an instant, Xie Zichen suddenly felt that he seemed to be real, so drunk.
