Chapter 3 The Emperor's Sister Returns (1)

〖Original text of the hexagram〗

Xian: Heng, Lizhen, and get a good girl.

〖Translation〗

Salty means feeling. Softness is above and hardness is below, and the two qi are in harmony with each other. When it is said that men are below women, this means "Henry is to be auspicious for women."

Plain language: salty symbolizes inspiration and the meaning of response. Yin and Yang are caused by the mutual admiration of men and women in the hearts of each other, just like a man seeks a woman with courtesy, so "a smooth and smooth way is conducive to adhering to the right path and getting married for auspicious."

The wind passes through the bamboo forest, and the branches and leaves sway, casting heavy shadows on the green lattice window.

Next to the long desk by the window was a man in white.

The slender fingers held the scroll and slowly spread the plain silk. The sleeves were illuminated by the light, and the light silver white texture was faintly flashed.

A big man with a three-clawed little red dragon on his left eyebrow bowed and stood in front of the case, saying, "The King of Yan has recently selected the candidate for the new queen."

The man in white browsed the scroll and gently pronounced the name on it: "Thank you... Changyan?"

"Yes, Xie Fanyi's cousin is ranked 19th in the clan and just turned twelve this year."

The man in white said "hum", put down the scroll, and gently tapped it with his knuckles. After a while, he said, "It's interesting. What kind of girl is he?"

The man showed a little strange look on his face: "He is a... quite an ordinary girl."

"Wow, wow!"

The copper coins were shaken six times and landed onto the short table, and the whole hall was silent.

Zheng was standing at the end of the team, his heart was up and down, and he couldn't rest.

Xie Huaiyong, wearing a Taoist robe, sat down a few times, stared at the hexagram he shook for a long time, and then looked up at the people in the hall-

"Emperor Yi returns to his sister, his king's sleeve is not as good as his sister's sleeve. How long does the moon look, it's auspicious."

Everyone had their own expressions after hearing this.

Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, like a piece of duckweed floating on the sea of ​​sorrow.

Xie Huaiyong turned his head and looked at the young man in green beside him: "Cook it."

The young man took seven books and opened them respectfully. The title page of each book reads "Piano, chess, books, paintings, riding, shooting, and counting".

"This is the course book for the past three years that I received from the clan school by Shinjiwei."

Zheng's face turned pale when he heard this. The handsome young man Xie Zhiwei had already picked up the first book and read it: "The first lesson, Qin, grades B, B. Comment 'Skills skillfully, cherish no talent, hard work, lack of spirituality'."

Everyone shook their heads and sighed. Zheng lowered his head with a blushing cheek.

Xie Zhiwei picked up the second book: "Lesson 2, chess, Bing Bing Ding. I have no scheming in my heart, give up as soon as possible."

Everyone's sighs became louder and louder. Zheng couldn't help but close his eyes.

"The third lesson, book, Ding, Bing and Bing. Progress can be seen, but it is difficult to become a great talent."

"Lesson 4, painting, Bingbing. Comments are 'too craftsman'." Xie Zhiwei finished reading the first four books, and everyone's faces were full of depressed expressions. He curled the corners of his lips and seemed to smile before he began to read the last three books.

"Lesson 5: Riding, Armor and Armor. It is very sensible, unrestrained, and good at horses. Lesson 6: Shooting, Armor and Armor. It has excellent eyesight and can further study. Lesson 7: Making, Armor and Armor. It is intelligent and good at thinking, and learn from one example."

Xie Huaiyong looked around everyone and said slowly: "What do you think?"

An elder replied: "This woman is talented and has a tendency and is not suitable to be a queen."

As soon as this statement is expressed, it is a piece of expression.

Another sighed: "Thinking back then, Fan Yi was excellent in seven subjects and had a beautiful appearance, and was unparalleled in the whole country."

"Yes, yes, it's a pity that Fan Yi. The Nineteenth Lady is mediocre everywhere, this is too much..."

Zheng secretly squeezed his hands tightly.

A trace of sadness flashed in Xie Huaiyong's eyes, but it quickly suppressed: "The imperial edict has been issued, and there is no possibility of change. I am summoning you to discuss how to teach Changyan. She is only twelve years old now, and she has three years left before the hairpin, and she still has time to remedy it."

Everyone exchanged their eyes, some were embarrassed, some were disdainful, and more were the treacherous things that were not related to one's own affairs.

Xie Huaiyong looked at Zheng: "Tenth brother and sister."

Zheng quickly left the list: "Fifth Uncle."

"After all, it's your daughter, how do you think?"

"I am ashamed of not being able to teach Changyan well, which makes all the elders worried."

"Changyan is a pretty man and is a good child. As the daughter of the Xie family, it is nothing short of it. But the grace of heaven has been so great that no one expected that His Majesty would click her name among so many people." Xie Huaiyong picked up the jade bamboo slips on the table, which engraved it: Changyan, the 19th daughter of the Xie family, was the queen.

Many emotions arose in Xie Huaiyong's eyes, and then those emotions settled down one by one, becoming worried: "If you want to be the emperor's wife, such qualifications are not enough."

"I would like to obey the arrangements of all the elders, work with famous teachers, and strive to be the best of my life."

"Okay. Then from tomorrow, I will teach Chang Yan alone. Within a year, all seven subjects must reach Jia." Xie Huaiyong finished speaking, put the copper coins on the table one by one and murmured, "The sixth and fifth lines are the Dui hexagrams, and they are also the only good change to Yao. Although the 19th Lady is not talented, she is a blessing. Sometimes blessing is more important than any talent..."

In a dark underwater world, only a few fireflies ahead are swimming.

Xie Changyan held a basket with stones in one hand and paddled in the other hand, skillfully shuttled through several reefs, following the steps of the fireflies ahead.

I couldn't hold it in one breath anymore, so I took off a pig urine bubble wrapped in the skin from my waist bag, took a sip of it with great care, and quickly tied it tighter. I raised my eyes again and found that the fireflies in front of me were much farther away.

She hurriedly chased after him.

After passing through a black reef, the fireflies stopped, but there were seven or eight pearl pickers wearing water. The leading man made a gesture, and several people took out shovels and dug the algae under the reef, and saw a giant clam shell underneath.

Xie Changyan was very happy and immediately swam closer to watch. At this time, the rope suddenly tightened, and she was stunned. The next moment, the rope was pulled on and actually pulled her up.

"Wait..." Xie Changyan was about to exclaim, but he was poured into a big mouthful of water. He hurriedly held it in his arms, watching the clamshells get farther and farther away from him...

With a "slam", she was pulled out of the water and pulled onto the ship.

Fresh air poured into her nose and throat. She quickly opened her mouth and took a few sips. After she recovered, she laughed and scolded: "Are you so afraid that I will win? She actually cheated and pulled me back in advance. It's a pity that it's such a big bead..."

The people around her bow laughed, and some people shook their eyes at her desperately.

Xie Changyan was stunned and looked back with everyone's figures. He saw the young man in green standing beside the mast, looking at her with a complicated expression: "You are indeed here."

"Brother Jiu? Why are you here?" Xie Changyan looked at the ship again and indeed started rowing back.

"Wait!" She was anxious, "Uncle Luo and the others are still downstairs."

"There are other boats to pick them up. Don't worry about them anymore, you'll worry about yourself first."

Xie Changyan didn't understand: "What's wrong with me?"

"What are you doing?"

When talking about this, Xie Changyan smiled, took off the shark's skin hood, took the cloth scarf handed over by the old woman, and while twisting her hair, she signaled Xie Zhiwei to enter the cabin with him: "Come on, come on, look at this."

There is a short table in the cabin with a map spread on it. The map is drawn on the eastern border of Yan State. The map has not been completed yet, but several major coastal prefectures and counties have been marked.

When Xie Zhiwei saw it, his face suddenly changed: "This is my father..."

"Don't worry, it's not my fifth uncle's, I sneaked into my fifth uncle's study and read it back from my painting."

"When? How many times did you slip away? You..."

"Ah, those are not important! Look here-" Xie Changyan painted the location on the picture, "It takes two months to go from Yinzhou to Yujing, and one month to go by water. Among them, Mijinhai is the must-pass place."

When talking about the three words "Missing Sea", Xie Zhiwei's eyes flashed and he was thinking.

"I checked it. Over the past ten years, there have been thirty-four hurricanes in the sea area, which often occurred in June and July. Before the hurricanes came, there were many wind refining. Three years ago, the north wind was depressed when the third sister set out, and there was a dizziness like a rainbow. This is a sign of the hurricane mother and should not have been on the road. The result of the fifth uncle's divination was that Yi had to set off on time..."

Xie Zhi frowned slightly: "So?"

"So, I'm worried that I'll have to pass through the sea of ​​misty things, what if I encounter a hurricane? As the saying goes, I'll practice water skills with these pearl pickers..."

Xie Zhiwei looked at Xie Changyan who was proud in front of her. From her wet hair, she saw the tight squid clothes on her body, and then the pair of duck-like shoes on her feet, she couldn't help but sigh: "You are really considerate."

Mr. Xie Changyan shook his head angrily and said, "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and be prepared for danger in times of peace."

Being prepared for danger in times of peace is Xie Huaiyong's life motto. Seeing her imitating her father like this, Xie Zhiwei immediately raised her foot and wanted to kick her.

"Ahhhh, Mr. Swen beats someone, or hits a little girl!"

"You've been engaged to the house, what kind of little girl!"

The two of them laughed and sat down on the couch with panting.

Xie Zhiwei put away his smile and said seriously: "Nineteen, it is a good thing for you to temper your water nature. But when a hurricane comes, no matter how good the water nature is, it is useless."

Xie Changyan was stunned.

"Not only whether you can travel back to the shore by your own strength, even if you reach the shore, you may not be saved. You have checked ancient books and found that when you know that when the tsunami, you will not only sink boats, but also destroy sea ponds, kill crops, and the corpses of humans and animals float thousands of miles away, and the epidemic will be infected."

Xie Changyan was stunned.

Xie Zhiwei bounced her forehead with her finger: "So, there is no way to defend the sky with only one's strength."

"What should I do?"

Xie Zhiwei looked at Xie Changyan and suddenly smiled: "Do you know that you are a very lucky person?"

"well?"

"Your Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Works to dig the Wei Canal to open the Nanshan Mountain and connect to the Binhai. 10% of this river channel, from Yujing to Yinzhou, can be reached in ten days, so there is no need to go to the Mijin Sea again. The expected completion time is exactly three years later."
