Chapter 30 - Wang Ningzhi
Wanzhang has always been straight to the point, not to mention that in front of a smart person like Xie Yan, if he takes a roundabout, he will simply bring humiliation on himself.
She looked directly at the other party who had no choice but to put on an emerald blue robe under her strong request, and said seriously: "Xie Yan, can you let me go to Jiankang with you?" β
Xie Yan had wide sleeves, his robe was as blue as a lake, and when he moved, it was like ripples on the lake, and when he heard her request, his movements stopped for a moment, and he asked lightly:
"You want to go to the palace? What do you want to do? β
At the beginning, he obviously promised himself that he would take himself to see the nobles of the Eastern Jin Dynasty after he chose a tree to perch, does he want to regret it now? Wan Zhang only hated that he hadn't made a note at that time, and he had already had the painful experience of Murong Chong not admitting his account after three proclamations, and he hadn't learned to be cautious, and he could only blame Xie Yan, a righteous gentleman, for being too good at fooling people.
But he has a request for others and can't come hard, even if he is reasonable, he has no basis, so he can only lower his voice and try to knock on the side, hoping that Xie Ergongzi will still have a little gentleman's style after all, and he doesn't want to be a man who breaks his word and gets fat:
She blinked harmlessly: "Have you forgotten that you promised me to make me a strategist of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?" Naturally, it is necessary to know more dignitaries and nobles, and the more the better. β
Xie Yan still looked indifferent, her eyes were lowered, and her expression did seem to be a little serious, but she didn't follow her meaning to recall the beginning, and directly skipped her broken words or forgetfulness, only frowned slightly, and said, "Do you really want to go?" β
"I really want to go."
Wanzhang's eyes glistened with the bright starlight of anticipation.
"Then let's go."
He said, extremely casually, and began to gracefully take care of the other sleeve.
But when Wanzhang really heard that Xie Yan finally agreed to his request, he was full of disbelief, he didn't expect that in the end he agreed so happily, originally saw his expression and thought that this request would be quite difficult, but he only said two words to achieve his goal, but he had no sense of accomplishment, and the prepared arguments were useless. However, it is always a good thing to be allowed to be allowed.
I said a few good words to Xie Yan again, and just happily wanted to go back to the room to tidy up things, but suddenly heard him stop herself, she stopped, and heard Xie Yan hesitate behind her for a moment, and said slowly:
"When I was in Jiankang, I heard about Brother Murong."
Wanzhang was stunned when he heard the name.
But in fact, I didn't think there was anything special, but because this was the person she needed to assist, she had to be more concerned, so she turned around and asked, "What news?" β
After Xie Yan heard her question, his eyes were lonely for some reason, but it was obvious that he was the first to start, and Wanzhang was a little puzzled, but he had heard him say slowly:
"A few days before the emperor's eyeliner in the Northern Dynasty, there was a tip-off that Murong Chong was secretly raising troops, and secretly associating with the old ministers of the Yan State who had taken refuge in Fu Jian, and seemed to be intent on opposing Qin."
Hearing this news, his eyes drooped silently, it turned out that Murong Chong also saw that Daqin was dying, so he secretly deployed it step by step, and was relieved in his heart, the person he wanted to assist was a person with brains and strategies after all, and his task was not so difficult after all, but there were also doubts, since he was so civil and martial, it seemed that he could return to the country without himself, why did the master go down the mountain to help him?
In a complicated mood, she didn't see Xie Yan watching her every move, but it was a pity that she was only thinking about what she should do next and what Murong Chong would do, and after thinking for a long time, she couldn't help but smile.
At present, it seems that the situation is very good, although the situation in the Northern Dynasty seems to be the dominance of Fu Jian, but in fact, the Qin State has attracted the attention of all countries, coupled with Fu Jian's coquettish behavior, as the so-called want to make people perish, you must first make them crazy, it will not take long later, as long as the outside world gently puts a little more pressure on him, the Qin State will perish in an instant.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile:
"Great."
Hopefully, when the task is accomplished, I will soon be able to regain my freedom, and then it will not be a good thing to travel around the world and see the situation in the world that I have achieved with my own efforts?
However, Xie Yan didn't seem to be very happy for some reason, although Wanzhang didn't know the reason, but he didn't want to ask more, for fear that Xie Ergongzi would be unhappy and change his hexagram and not allow himself to enter the palace, so he was naturally embarrassed to show too much joy, smiled dryly, and said, "I'll pack up my things first." He hurriedly left Xie Yan's residence.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, not long after the Xie family took the princess Sima Daofu to leave the Huiji to Jiankang and go, a group of people were mighty, on the day of departure actually blocked a road, when the low-key came to attract attention, not to mention that the return to Beijing with the princess is a high-profile move, the people all want to see the princess and the Xie Zhilan Yushu, from the palace to pick up the princess to the distance out of the city gate, it took half a day's effort.
Sima Daofu was stained with the light of the eldest princess of the dynasty, and it was also a good shade with his back against the big tree, not to mention that he was able to ride the princess together, but also felt what it was like to be surrounded by the people for the first time, it was really ...... Pretty good.
Leaving the town, the speed of the carriage is much faster, a few days later, they entered the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty - Jiankang, its prosperity and the degree of prosperity will not know much, but fortunately, the people of the capital are accustomed to seeing the carriage of the prince and the general, see them do not compete to watch, the vegetable seller buys vegetables, should go to the green building to visit the green building, people and the carriage are safe, orderly, so soon after entering the city, the group finally came to the palace.
But Xie and Wanzhang couldn't enter the palace this time, and when they came back to the palace gate, they just sent Sima Daofu to the palace, and then they had to turn back, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to rest first, and then enter the palace tomorrow to say goodbye.
The road was bumpy, it was Ye Wanzhang who slept very well after taking a hot bath, and he was about to enter the palace after a good night's sleep and recuperation, so he was very excited early in the morning.
However, who knew that entering the palace was so cumbersome, not that you could enter anytime and anywhere, and you had to pick an auspicious time for a good day, but the auspicious time of the day was in the afternoon, so that Wanzhang could only stroll around the prime minister's mansion all morning in a depressed and boring manner.
However, this was originally just a visit to kill time, but there were also unexpected gains, in addition to appreciating the grand and prosperous scenery of Prime Minister Xie An's mansion, sometimes if you are lucky, you may be able to meet someone who has been wanting to see for a long time, for example, at this moment, next to Xie Ergongzi, who met him unexpectedly at the bridge, this elegant man in a stone blue robe.
is about a few years older than Xie Yan, has a solemn temperament, well-dressed, not tall, not short, not fat, not thin, not good and not bad. It is still a standout among ordinary people, but if it is in Wang Xie's second family, it is very ordinary.
Although he saw that the other party would not be a big person, the number of courtesies was always essential, after all, this was Jiankang, and after all, he couldn't let Xie leave a rude tongue in front of outsiders, Wan Zhang stopped after taking a few steps forward, and saluted Xie Yan first:
"The second son is good."
Then he turned to the blue-robed man and bowed, but he didn't know what to say.
Xie Yan was accompanying the guests well, but suddenly met Wanzhang, and saw her treat herself so politely, she was a little surprised, and at this moment Fang relieved herself, and kindly reminded her: "Zhang'er, this is the second son of the Wang family, named Ningzhi, who is the husband of Sister Yun." β
This is Wang Ningzhi?
Wan Zhang paused, and then looked at him carefully, this kind of qualification is already a mediocre generation in Wang Xie's second family, and if it is compared with Xie Daoyun, it will be even more incompatible.
No wonder Sister Yun is always upset, if it is a woman with a high temperament who gets a husband who is not as good as herself, it will probably be like this, just like raising a child, always wanting him to be angry, but how can she really be willing to persecute and blame? I can only blame myself.
After thinking about it, I realized that it was really rude for me to look at the other party like this, so I quickly withdrew my gaze, bowed my head and apologized. Fortunately, Wang Ningzhi is still a gentle and elegant person, so he didn't take it to heart, but smiled:
"You are the girl who never leaves Xie Er's mouth?"
Fortunately, Wanzhang lowered her head, otherwise the expression on her face at the moment would be very unforgettable, I really didn't expect that Wang Ningzhi's qualifications were mediocre, and she was also a good hand when she joked.
Although he suffered a loss because he didn't know the strength of the other party, Wanzhang has always been unwilling to show weakness in fighting with others, and he didn't care that he was the son of the Wang family and the husband of Sister Yun, raised his head and raised his eyebrows, learning from the smile he just had:
"You are the seventh prince of Wang who loves Sister Yun deeply?"
When the words fell, Xie Yan was stunned, and then he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, fortunately, he heard this allusion from Wanzhang, otherwise even he really couldn't understand what she was saying, the little girl reacted so quickly, one sentence choked people and was only stunned, it was really what she had always done.
But Wang Ningzhi, who saw Wanzhang's power for the first time, was obviously stunned, and after a while, he raised his eyebrows, laughed twice, and glanced at Xie Yan behind Wanzhang meaningfully:
"It's really eloquent, no wonder it can make Xie Er never forget."
Wan Zhang was as proud as a child when he was praised, Xie Yan smiled and shook his head helplessly, and Wang Ningzhi looked at the two of them with a look of concern, I am afraid that he had also heard a lot of rumors about them.
At this time, a young subordinate from the prime minister's mansion ran over, and the three of them put the quarrel aside for a while and listened to his report.
"The prime minister said that the time to enter the palace is coming, so the second son should get ready."
"Since you still have something to do, I'll go back first."
Wang Ningzhi said lightly to Xie Yan, Xie Yan also nodded lightly, and the two had nothing to say, so they left. The two are not only uncles, but also friends, seemingly plain, but in fact have a deep friendship. has seen a lot, and Wan Zhang has already seen that between the two families of Wang Xie and even between the families and clans, they get along like this, they are polite and get along with each other, and the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, which is probably the case.
