The Taiyuan Wang Clan place, a scholar is sitting in the garden empty talk. And two people who gathered round by many things around a center, is Taiyuan Wang Clan Patriarch, current Tai City Chief Secretary Wang Maohong, as well as Fufeng Xie Clan cornerstone Xie Anshi. 太原王氏族地,一众文士正坐于庭院里清谈。其中被众星捧月围着的两人,乃是太原王氏的族长,现任台城首辅王茂弘,以及扶风谢氏的中流砥柱谢安石。 Wang Maohong is near 60-year-old, Xie Anshi 37 -year-old, two people had a big disparity in the age. However it is said Xie Anshi in the youngster period, has then just been entered official career the sincere appreciation of Wang Maohong. 王茂弘年近六旬,谢安石三十七岁,两人在年纪上本就有不小差距。不过据说谢安石早在少年时期,便得到刚入仕途的王茂弘的深切欣赏。 Afterward Wang Maohong must hold the power, then appointed to office Xie Anshi, at present becomes „Assistant Editorial Director” in Palace Library. 后来王茂弘得掌相权,便将谢安石征辟上来,目前在秘书省就任“佐著作郎”。 This is the ancient government position name, expensive/noble was famous at clear. After all previous reform since, already evolves a springboard that enters Cabinet. Must enter Cabinet, must first walk one time from Palace Library, therefore people jokingly call the secretary court attendants are „the Counsellor in Chief candidate”, collating books youth Men is „Director alternative”, entering Palace Library is „ascends tall ladder”. 这是个古官职名,以清贵著称。只是经过历代改革至今,已经演变成一个进入内阁的跳板。要进内阁,必须先从秘书省走一遭,所以人们戏称秘书郎们是“宰辅候补”,校书郎们是“侍中备选”,进秘书省是“登天梯”。 Xie Anshi as „the Counsellor in Chief candidate”, then his eldest son must marry the Chief Secretary youngest daughter now, the front official career it can be said that mounts the tall ladder, therefore during the people conversations, various types flattered ingeniously flatter, he was also the neither haughty nor humble smile response. 谢安石身为“宰辅候补”,然后其长子如今又要娶首辅的小女儿,前方仕途可以说是登上天梯,因此众人言谈之间,各种巧妙地吹捧巴结,他也是不卑不亢地微笑回应。 „You look, is my uncle elegant temperate demeanor, with Duke Wang extremely similar?” In the corridor of distant place, Xie Lingjiang muttered said, „no wonder Duke Wang will so regard as important him.” “你看,我叔这闲雅温和的风度,和王公是不是极其相似？”远处的走廊里,谢令姜喃喃说道,“难怪王公会如此看重他了。” „Politically regards as important him, was not equal to that must betroth the daughter to him.” Cheng Jinyang said lightly. “在政治上看重他,也不等于一定要将女儿许配给他。”程晋阳淡淡说道。 „But if marries, without doubt will be safer.” Xie Lingjiang worries to say. “但是如果联姻的话,无疑会更保险。”谢令姜担忧说道。 „First found Wang Wanrou to say again.” Cheng Jinyang is unemotional. “先找到王婉柔再说。”程晋阳面无表情。 Continues the advance moment, on the road bumps into many Wang Clan people. They mostly looked up Xie Lingjiang this Xie Family little young lady one eyes, then lowers the head to depart immediately in a hurry. 继续前进片刻,路上又碰到不少王氏族人。只是他们大多抬头看了谢令姜这名谢家小小姐一眼,便又立刻匆匆低头离去。 Xie Lingjiang said that Wang and Xie Families mutually is relations by marriage, each other gets to know each other well, really does not have the half a point lies, let have anxious Cheng Jinyang to be secretly more relieved slightly. 谢令姜说王谢两家互为姻亲,彼此相熟,果然没有半分虚言,也让稍有焦急的程晋阳暗自安心了些。 Approximately walked for ten minutes, Xie Lingjiang was somewhat tired, in the necks the slightly perspiration, pants saying: 大约走了十来分钟,谢令姜有些累了,颈间微汗,气喘吁吁说道: „In front, walked for a half minute to arrive again......” “就在前面了,再走半分钟就到了……” Finishes barely the words, front blocks the way then to kill individual: 话音未落,前面拦路便杀出个人来: „When Cheng Jinyang, I am at such you to be many!” “程晋阳,我在此等你多时！” Cheng Jinyang has a big shock. Carefully looks, originally is Wang Wanrou Elder Brother Wang Xinzhi, the left hand takes the bluish gray fishing pole, the right hand is raising the small bag of attire fish food, above icon prints „fine fishing to raise” four characters. 程晋阳大惊失色。仔细一看,原来是王婉柔的哥哥王信之,左手拿着青灰色的钓竿,右手提着个装鱼食的小袋子,上面图标印着“精钓鱼养”四个字。 „Just fished?” Cheng Jinyang relaxes, asks. “刚钓鱼回来呢？”程晋阳松了口气,问道。 „You made a mistake, Jinyang.” Wang Xinzhi shows a faint smile, „I come to here to intercept specially your.” “你错了,晋阳。”王信之微微一笑,“我是特意来这里拦截你的。” „Elder Brother Jinghe!” Xie Lingjiang somewhat was also anxious, even starts to call his given name, „you closed/pass the Wanrou elder sister was right? Must force the person who she marries her not to like!” “敬和哥哥！”谢令姜也有些急了,甚至开始叫他的大名,“你们把婉柔姐关起来了对不对？要强迫她嫁给她不喜欢的人！” „Small Lingjiang.” Wang Xinzhi bends the waist, said to her benignly, „what family status my Taiyuan Wang Clan is, what status my father is, where serves a need to force your Wanrou elder sister to marry? Is Wanrou her oneself had not opposed.” “小令姜。”王信之弯下腰来,对她和颜悦色地说道,“我太原王氏是什么门第,我父亲又是什么身份,哪里用得着强迫你婉柔姐去联姻？是婉柔她自己没有反对。” Cheng Jinyang:??? 程晋阳:？？？ „Got it?” Wang Xinzhi raised the head again, sincere said with Cheng Jinyang, „person who you have the fiancee, treats Yuanzhi well, do not pester my younger sister again.” “明白了吧？”王信之再次抬起头来,跟程晋阳正色说道,“你也是有未婚妻的人了,好好对待沅芷,不要再来纠缠我妹妹了。” Cheng Jinyang stared at him to look at the moment, said with a smile: 程晋阳盯着他看了片刻,笑道: „Brother Xinzhi spoke discreetly. Wanrou her oneself is willing to marry anyone, that is your Taiyuan Wang Clan family affairs, is my bystander good to butt at will? My this time comes, but hears this good news, comes and Wanrou congratulations especially congratulates that's all.” “信之兄言重了。婉柔她自己愿意嫁给谁,那是你们太原王氏的家事,我一个外人怎么好随意置喙？我此次前来,只不过是闻此喜讯,特来和婉柔道喜恭贺而已。” Wang Xinzhi have heard what was said is amazed. My goodness, this face enough thick! Kills my younger sister boudoir from the Clan Ground entrance nonstop, unexpectedly can also say coolly comes „congratulations”...... wait, he carries out this excuse to come, I was actually not good to refute to stop, appeared me evenly white/in vain one startled one for the first time, is making evil person. 王信之闻言惊诧。好家伙,这脸皮够厚的啊！从族地门口一路马不停蹄杀到我妹闺房,居然还能面不改色地说是来“道喜”……等下,他搬出这个借口来,我倒是不好反驳阻拦了,平白显得我一惊一乍,在做恶人似的。 „Good.” The Wang Xinzhi smile nods, „that I put you to see Wanrou in the past, quite made you lose heart.” “好。”王信之微笑点头,“那我就放你过去见婉柔,也好让你死了这条心。” His facial expression is so assured, Cheng Jinyang then even more is at heart disturbed, in the surface still calmly, said with a smile: 他神情这般笃定,程晋阳心里便越发忐忑,面上仍然若无其事,笑道: „Requests Brother Xinzhi to lead the way. Lingjiang, we walk.” “烦请信之兄引路。令姜,我们走。” Dwelling that three people arrive at Wang Wanrou, is style unique little building situated in Clan Ground corner, the surroundings have the garden, bamboo grove and fishpond, the running water are linking outside Qinhuai River. 三人来到王婉柔的住处,乃是位于族地角落的一座样式别致的小楼,周围还有花园、竹林和鱼池,活水连着外面的秦淮河。 This place environment is really good. Trades to do usually, Cheng Jinyang must certainly sigh, person who Young Lady Wang really can enjoy. 这地方环境真不错。换做平时,程晋阳肯定要感叹,王大小姐果然是会享受的人。 The mood that at this time he simply has not complained, enters the gate with Wang Xinzhi, then sees in the living room to depend on the wall full three rows is the vertical big book shelf, and tea table and cushioning, the deck chair and plants green. 只是此时他根本没有吐槽的心情,跟着王信之走进门去,便看见客厅里靠墙满满三排全是立式的大书柜,以及茶几、软垫,躺椅和绿植。 Walks up to two buildings along the staircase, Wang Xinzhi then knocks on a door, the clear sound said: 沿着楼梯走上二楼,王信之便敲了敲门,清声说道: „Younger sister, is I.” “妹啊,是我。” „Comes.” Inside broadcasts the Wang Wanrou sound. Listens to the tone to have no difference, does not seem like put under house arrest. “进来。”里面传来王婉柔的声音。听语气没什么异样,不像是被软禁的。 Therefore Wang Xinzhi then pushes the door to go , is Cheng Jinyang and Xie Lingjiang, then sees Wang Wanrou to lie down on by the window bed, holds the cushioning to narrow the eye, lazy kitty that as if sunbathes. 于是王信之便推门进去,然后是程晋阳和谢令姜,便看见王婉柔正躺在靠窗边的床榻上,抱着软垫眯着眼睛,仿佛晒太阳的慵懒猫咪般。 Then she turns the head, sees clearly the person narrows the eye instantaneously, knits the brows: 接着她转过头来,看清来人的瞬间眯起眼睛,皱眉道: „Goes out!” “出去！” Wang Xinzhi sighed, turns round to say to Cheng Jinyang: 王信之叹了口气,回身对程晋阳说道: „You heard. My younger sister does not want to see you, leaves.” “你听到了。我妹不想见你,离开吧。” „Elder Brother, I am make you go out.” Wang Wanrou said again. “哥,我是让你出去。”王婉柔再次说道。 Wang Xinzhi:??? 王信之:？？？ His hard to believe turns around, referred to oneself inconceivable. 他难以置信地转身,不可思议地指了指自己。 „Right, Wang Xinzhi, Wang Jinghe.” Wang Wanrou said again, „gives us a talk the space, facilitates otherwise?” “对,王信之,王敬和。”王婉柔再次说道,“给我们一点谈话的空间,方便否？” Wang Xinzhi left bewilderedly, took the gate conveniently. 王信之莫名其妙地离开了,顺手还带上了门。 In the room the silent moment, Cheng Jinyang then said with a smile: 房间里寂静片刻,程晋阳便笑着说道: „Wanrou, Lingjiang said, the Xie Family person did discuss marriage to your father?” “婉柔,令姜说,谢家人向你父亲提亲了？” „Really has this matter.” Wang Wanrou said lightly. “确有此事。”王婉柔淡淡说道。 „Did you reject?” Cheng Jinyang asked. “那你拒绝了吗？”程晋阳问。 „Why can reject?” Wang Wanrou asked back that he said. “为什么要拒绝？”王婉柔反问他道。 „Why doesn't reject?” Cheng Jinyang asked calmly, „won't you really like that thanking surpass?” “为什么不拒绝？”程晋阳从容问道,“你不会真喜欢那个谢超度吧？” „Is Xie Qiuduo.” Xie Lingjiang said. “是谢球度。”谢令姜说。 „Liking, with marrying is two matters.” Wang Wanrou said indifferently, „who stipulated doesn't like a person not being able to marry him?” “喜不喜欢,跟结不结婚是两码事。”王婉柔漠然说道,“谁规定不喜欢一个人就不能嫁给他？” „That is Qingqing, is not you.” Cheng Jinyang was still smiling, „with your pride, will not like one not being able the person, will not marry such bystander.” “那是青青,不是你。”程晋阳仍然在笑,“以你的骄傲,不会去喜欢一个没有才能的人,更不会嫁给这样的外人。” „You think that you do understand me very much?” Wang Wanrou sneers. “你以为你很懂我？”王婉柔冷笑起来。 „Wanrou.” The Cheng Jinyang smile said, „from beginning to end, you have not refuted my words, but asked back. Can I also not understand your meaning?” “婉柔。”程晋阳微笑说道,“从头到尾,你都没有反驳我的话,只是反问。我还能不懂你的意思吗？” „I am playing your that's all.” Wang Wanrou is staring at his eye. “我只是在耍你而已。”王婉柔盯着他的眼睛。 „That this, you said one to me: You are willing to marry that to indulge wine and women playboys thanks Qiutu, I leave now immediately.” The Cheng Jinyang smile is invariable. “那这样,你就跟我说一句:你愿意嫁给那个沉溺酒色的纨绔子弟谢球吐,我现在立马走人。”程晋阳笑容不变。 „Is Xie Qiuduo.” Xie Lingjiang corrects again, „always do not make a mistake.” “是谢球度。”谢令姜再次纠正,“不要总是搞错。” „Good.” Wang Wanrou smiles slowly, in the eye does not have the temperature, „Cheng Jinyang, you thought that you very intelligent are?” “好。”王婉柔慢慢地笑起来,眼睛里却毫无温度,“程晋阳,你觉得你很聪明是不是？” The surrounding room temperature as if also starts to drop, some Xie Lingjiang small face blanches, go to the Cheng Jinyang body relieving quietly. 周围的室温似乎也开始下降,谢令姜小脸有些发白,悄悄地向程晋阳身后缩去。 „those who handle cinnabar are stained red; those who work with ink are stained black.” Cheng Jinyang said. “近朱者赤，近墨者黑。”程晋阳说。 „Is perfunctory.” “敷衍。” „Why do I want to be perfunctory you?” “我何必要敷衍你？” „Just like you said a moment ago, asked back is not equal to the denial.” “正如你刚才所说,反问并不等于否定。” „This is the exquisite talk art , is you studies.” “这是精妙的谈话艺术,也是和你学的。” „Try to carve a swan and at least you'll get a duck, try to draw a tiger and end up with the likeness of a dog.” “刻鹄不成尚类鹜,画虎不成反类犬。” „Criticism of Young Lady Wang, even if poisonous such as zhen liquor, I also endure gladly.” “王大小姐的批评,纵然毒如鸩酒,我也甘之若饴。” „lapdog.” “舔狗。” „I must really be lapdog, can I rip you to believe your clothes with the tongue?” “我要真是舔狗,我能用舌头把你衣服撕下来你信不信？” „Therefore I asked again, you thought that you very intelligent were?” Wang Wanrou gets angry rarely, „the last time opportunity, could not find out saying that anything rolled!” “所以我再问一遍,你觉得你很聪明是不是？”王婉柔少见地发怒起来,“最后一次机会,想不出说什么就滚！” Her chest with panting for breath shivers slightly, the silver tooth bites, eye also because of anger, but the violent has some capillaries. Xie Lingjiang already hid Cheng Jinyang behind, held his lower hem corner shiver. 她的胸脯随着喘息微微颤动,银牙微咬,眼睛也因愤怒而暴出些血丝来。谢令姜已经躲到了程晋阳的身后,抓住他的衣角瑟瑟发抖。 Cheng Jinyang visits her dumbfoundedly, does not seem to expected her to have such big overact completely. 程晋阳瞠目结舌地看着她,似乎完全没料到她会有这么大的过激反应。 Out of the door broadcasts thump thump thump the sound, is downstairs Wang Xinzhi hears the sound probably, stepped on the staircase to run. 门外传来噔噔噔的声音,大概是楼下的王信之听到声音,踩着楼梯跑上来了。 „Do not be angry.” Cheng Jinyang smiles bitterly, „I look for you, is......” “你别生气嘛。”程晋阳苦笑起来,“我来找你,就是……” „What is?” Wang Wanrou coldly visits him. “就是什么？”王婉柔冷冷地看着他。 „Does not think that you marry thanks ball the stomach.” Cheng Jinyang said honestly. “就是不想你嫁给谢球肚。”程晋阳坦诚说道。 „Wanrou?” Outside Wang Xinzhi knocks on a door. “婉柔？”外面王信之敲了敲门。 „I am all right, Elder Brother.” Wang Wanrou said loudly. “我没事,哥。”王婉柔高声说道。 Then she cold ice complexion then became less crowded suddenly, the profile is welcoming the sunlight that projects from the window, reveals again warm, perfect, even has a little small self-satisfied smile: 然后她寒冰般的脸色便突然松动了,侧脸迎着从窗户外投射进来的阳光,再次露出温暖的、完美的、甚至带着一点儿小得意的笑容: „Now finally is willing to speak the truth, un?” “现在终于肯说实话了,嗯？”
