9. Important matters
Xie Wan said with a sinister face: "Childe's outsider, how can he guess others out of thin air!" ”
"The dog is vain, don't be angry." Wang Xizhi glared at his son fiercely and said apologetically. Wang Ningzhi's face turned red, and he retreated behind his father.
Xie An also felt that this Wang Ningzhi was a little frivolous and abrupt, but after all, he was the son of an old friend, so he hurriedly said: "Ling Jiang, this is your Wang Shibo's son, who knows how to do things, Wang Ningzhi." Hearing Xie An's introduction, Wang Ningzhi's face turned slightly pale, and he glanced at Lin He with disdain.
Lin He was a little surprised in his heart, he never thought that the middle-aged man in front of him who was dressed plainly and had an extraordinary bearing was actually the famous Wang Xizhi!
Xie Wan owed Wang Xizhi a debt to God, which was a response, but he didn't pay attention to Wang Ningzhi.
For this niece, who has always been a little willful, Xie An was also quite helpless, so he had to look at Wang Xizhi apologetically.
Wang Xizhi snorted as if unconsciously, and responded repeatedly: "Niece Jiang doesn't need to be polite." ”
The voices of several people finally woke up the sleeping Xie Xiaoyou, she yawned and said to herself: "It's early in the morning, who is so noisy!" ”
After that, she opened her eyes, only to realize that she was not at home, but curled up in a basket! A man's back in a basket!
Xie Xiaoyou suddenly came back to his senses and remembered everything.
Xie Xiaoyou stuck his head out of the basket.
Xie An, Wang Xizhi, Xie Wan, and Wang Ningzhi all stared at her strangely.
"Ahh Three uncles! Sister! Xie Xiaoyou covered his mouth with a shocked expression.
I forgot about her. Lin He remembered Xie Xiaoyou behind him, looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly put down the basket.
Xie Xiaoyou crawled out of the basket in embarrassment, as if he was a little afraid of Xie An, and walked up to him in a little panic, and respectfully saluted Xie An.
Xie An nodded, and said with a gentle expression: "No need to be polite." ”
Due to his long-term absence, Xie An has no impression of Xie Xiaoyou, but he can see each other every year.
And Xie Xiaoyou's impression of Xie An is probably just the majestic figure on the Xie family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
After Xie Xiaoyou heard Xie An's words, he nodded and walked timidly to Xie Wan's side.
After putting down Xie Xiaoyou, Lin He arched his hand and said, "Lord Xie, since the two Miss Xie have arrived home, they will leave first." ”
Xie An hurriedly said: "Strong man, please stay, the journey is hard, the day is over, it's not too late to leave after dinner." ”
"Don't dare to disturb adults, there are still some trivial matters in the next house, and I will definitely come to disturb them another day." Lin He replied sincerely.
Xie An looked Lin He up and down.
The young man in front of him, who had a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, a calm bearing, a calm expression, and was neither humble nor arrogant, aroused his interest. In terms of physiognomy, this is definitely not an ordinary person.
Hearing Lin He's proposal to leave, Xie Wan's face was a little anxious, so she glanced at Xie An beside her.
Xie An naturally knew what she meant, he pondered for a moment, took out a jade plaque from his arms, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will not be strong." Thanks to the strong man who saved my niece, if something happens in the future, you can take this jade plate to the Xie family in Chen County, no matter who in the Xie family sees this jade plate will recognize it. ”
Lin He hurriedly waved his hand, "Lord Xie doesn't have to be so polite. ”
Xie An stepped forward and directly stuffed the jade plate into Lin He's hand, "If the strong man doesn't accept it, then Xie Mou's is not." ”
Lin He had no choice but to accept it.
Xie An bowed slightly, and arched his hand: "There will be a period later!" Then he turned around and called, "Xie Cheng, send Lin Zhuangshi for me!" ”
The servant Xie Cheng ran over and bowed down and said, "Lin Gongzi, please." “
"Wait." Xie Wan suddenly spoke out and said to Xie An: "Third uncle, I still have a few words to say with Lin Gongzi. ”
Xie An faintly knew her thoughts, nodded and said, "Go ahead." “
When Wang Ningzhi heard Xie Wan's words, his stomach seemed to turn over to a vinegar bottle, and he became more and more resentful of Lin He.
Xie Wan and Lin He walked side by side towards the gate, she pulled her hair from her sideburns, and whispered in a voice like a wind chime: "I don't thank you for my great grace, but I don't know when I will see you again." ”
The lives of two people belong to the two duckweed in the water, and they meet because of the flowing water, and they will be separated by the flowing water.
Lin He was silent, not knowing how to reply.
"You...... Will you go to Jiankang? Xie Wan's face was calm, but there was a faint expectation in her voice.
"Maybe......" Lin He squinted his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and muttered for a moment, "Maybe I will go to ......"
Xie Wan's eyes lit up, "Then I'll wait for you to tell me about "A Chinese Ghost Story". ”
Lin He smiled noncommittally.
……
It wasn't until Lin He's back disappeared into the peach forest that Xie Wan turned around and returned to the mansion.
The drizzle and breeze, on the pavilion, after three rounds of wine, Wang Xizhi and Xie An chatted solemnly. On weekdays, Xie An and Wang Xizhi, who only like to talk about mountains and rivers, play calligraphy and painting, and recite poems, are in no mood today and discuss the affairs of the court.
Xie An has always disdained the affairs of the court, but Wang Xizhi has been an official for decades and has experience. At this time, he unreservedly passed on these precious experiences to Xie An, so most of the time, it was Wang Xizhi who said and Xie An listened.
On the other side, Wang Ningzhi was courteous to Xie Wan, constantly showing off his literary talents, which made Xie Wan annoyed.
Xie Wan felt that Wang Ningzhi, no matter how good he was, was not as good as Jiankang's sons of the family who pursued her like wild bees and butterflies, let alone Lin He.
Moreover, at this time, the society was unstable and the family was in trouble, and Xie Wan had no intention of thinking about these things.
After barely staying with Wang Ningzhi for a quarter of an hour, Xie Wan finally couldn't help but stand up and said to Xie An: "Third uncle, my niece is a little tired, so let's go back to the house to rest for the time being." ”
Xie An nodded, and ordered a maid to take Xie Wan back to the house to rest, and then continued to chat with Wang Xizhi.
Wang Ningzhi, who was in the heart of an ape, saw Xie Wan leaving, and he was even more distracted.
Another hour passed, and Wang Xizhi saw that it was not early, so he stood up and arched his hand: "It's getting late, let's bother here today." ”
Xie An arched his hand and said: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, and there are many teachings from Young Brother Mengyi." ”
Wang Xizhi laughed, turned around and walked out, Xie An followed closely behind.
At this time, the rain outside has stopped, and the sunset emerges from the green mountains in the distance, and the crimson glow shrouds the peach forest, making the peach blossoms that have been decorated by the rain even more bright and moving.
"Brother Anshi, let's stay. Take my words to heart and work together to put the big picture first. Before Wang Xizhi boarded the car, he turned around and said to Xie An.
Xie An bowed and nodded yes.
Wang Xizhi boarded the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said, "Brother Anshi, the mountains are high and the waters are long, we will have a meeting later!" ”
"There will be a date later!" Xie An clenched his fists with both hands and bowed to the end.
……
The carriage left Xie Mansion, and after traveling for a while, Wang Ningzhi, who was sitting in the car, finally couldn't help but ask, "Father, what ......is that?" Did Sister Jiang ever have a marriage match? ”
Wang Xizhi had already been clear about his thoughts, but for this mediocre son, it was really difficult for Wang Xizhi to ask Xie An for a marriage.
Even he felt that Wang Ningzhi was not worthy of Xie Wan, let alone others.
Wang Xizhi glanced at him and did not answer.
Wang Ningzhi said with an anxious face: "Father, you can transfer me back to Jiankang." ”
"Nonsense! How can an official come when he says he comes, and he can leave when he says! Wang Xizhi glared at him.
"If you don't agree, I'll go and ask the second uncle." Wang Ning's way.
"You are not allowed to go anywhere! I'll be honest at the meeting! Wang Xizhi reprimanded.
Wang Ningzhi didn't talk, his eyes rolled wildly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
……
Xie Mansion, partial hall.
Xie Wan has changed into a clean women's clothes, her hair is simply coiled up, tied up with a golden hairpin, she is wearing a small white jacket with a tunic waist on her upper body, and a white pleated skirt on her lower body.
Xie Wan whispered to Xie An about the recent situation at home and the process of being chased and killed by masked men on the road, Xie An seemed to be calm, but in fact, his heart had already fluctuated.
"You mean it could be Huan Wen's people?"
Xie Wan nodded, "I heard Lin Zhuangshi say when he fought with them, they all used the sword technique in the army. ”
"If you use a saber, you may not be a soldier, nor may you be a person from Huan Wen. However, now that Huan Wen rules the world's soldiers and horses, he is the most suspicious. Xie An pondered for a moment and said lightly.
Xie An suddenly said with interest: "Listening to what you say, this Lin Changgeng is so skilled?!" ”
Xie Wan was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't say anything about the Mandarin Duck Knife Technique, just said "um", and then said no more.
Xie An looked at Xie Wan and suddenly said, "Ling Jiang, remember, you are a member of the Xie family in Chen County." ”
The Jin Dynasty was the world of the scholars, and there was a difference between the gate valve and the ordinary people. Whether it is a respected squire or a tycoon with a lot of money, he can't compare with the scholars.
Not to mention the top scholar clan like the Xie family of Chen County.
Deep in this background, even if it is a generation of celebrities, it is not immune to vulgar opinions.
Xie Wan was thoughtful, and she knew that Xie An was secretly mentioning her about Lin He.
She nodded and said, "Please rest assured, third uncle, let Jiang remember." ”
Xie An knew that Xie Wan was a very assertive person, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Let's set off for Jiankang tomorrow, remember to remind Xiao You to get up early." ”
"Yes, Third Uncle."
