8. Door-to-door

"What do you mean by that?" Wang Xizhi put down his wine glass and looked at Xie An in front of him, his thick eyebrows were frowned together, the three vertical lines between his eyebrows and eyes were clearly visible, and the folds on his forehead were deeply sunken, looking very confused.

Xie An rubbed the celadon wine glass in his hand, which was fired by the Deqing kiln in Huiji County, the decoration on the wine glass was simple, the pattern was scarce, but the texture was delicate and the feel was soft, which was favored by the wealthy families.

Xie An was silent for a moment, then finally raised his head and said lightly: "If there is no accident, I may have to leave this place in a few days." ”

Hearing that Xie An was leaving, Wang Xizhi roughly understood the reason.

"You've decided?" Wang Xizhi picked up the pot-bellied wine jug and poured Xie An a glass of wine.

Xie An picked up the wine glass, drank it all, then stood up, paced to the edge of the pavilion, stroked the railing with both hands, and stared at the flowers in the garden, full of red flowers, looking a little worried. Outside the pavilion, the breeze is light and the drizzle is continuous.

Xie An nodded and said, "Yu has been appreciated by Wang Wengong (Wang Dao) and Wang Dafu (Wang Meng) since he was a child, and he has a slight reputation. In the year of the weak crown, he was summoned by the imperial court to the Situ Mansion and conferred the position of Zuo Shulang, but he was ill at that time and could not be favored. Yu Xin thought about the great rivers and mountains, in order to avoid the affairs of the court, and then lived in seclusion in Dongshan, and came for twenty years. ”

Speaking of this, Xie An smiled and continued: "During this period, it is difficult to compete with Yu Shi's enthusiasm, and it is only a little more than a month to appear. ”

Xie An paused, and said solemnly: "Ran cousin, eldest brother, Wan Shi was demoted to a concubine because of Qianyan. There is Huan Yuanzi who controls the government, widely cultivates party members, cuts off dissidents, and the heart of disobedience is clearly revealed; Outside, there is a former Qin Fu who is hard working, stubborn, and eyeing the tiger. ”

"Yu is the son of the Xie family, and he is also the people of the Great Jin, how dare he be alone when the survival of this family and country is in danger? Otherwise, after a hundred years, there will be no shame to see the ancestors. ”

Xie An made a solemn statement, and Wang Xizhi was moved. He stared at Xie An, stroked the beard on his chin, and sighed: "Brother An Shi is full of strategy and has the world in mind, and now he can be ordered at this time of crisis, which is really a blessing for the world." ”

"Even so, the foolish brother only gave him one word: work together and put the overall situation first."

Xie An was extremely intelligent, and he understood that the meaning of Wang Xi's words was to let himself not have internal friction with Huan Wen, so he smiled and picked up his wine glass, and saluted: "Young Brother Yi entrusts An Shi to keep it in mind." ”

……

The breeze is soft and unstable, and the spring rain is endless, moistening all things.

Xie Wan scurried through the peach forest, and from time to time wet petals stuck to her loose hair.

Lin He followed Xie Wan behind Xie Wan with Xie Xiaoyou on his back, and heard Xie Wan suddenly shout: "It's here!" ”

Xie Wan turned his head to look at Lin He and said, "The courtyard in front of you is." She straightened her clothes, straightened her long hair, and the petals that stuck to her hair fell down.

Lin He raised his head and looked at the courtyard in front of him, and the strong word "Xie Fu" on the plaque of the gate was impressive, as if it was quite similar to the font on the "Lanting Collection Preface".

Could it be Wang Xizhi's own handwriting? Lin He muttered in his heart.

At this time, Xie Wan had already walked to the door of Xie Mansion and slapped the copper knocker on the door.

The servant inside the door quickly opened the door, looked at the two of them and said, "May I ask who Gongzi is looking for?" ”

Although the son in front of him is in tattered clothes, he has outstanding appearance and good temperament, and he is by no means from an ordinary family. He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked respectfully.

Xie Wan said: "Please tell the third uncle that niece Xie Lingjiang came to visit." ”

Niece? The old man's niece? The servant was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Miss, please wait a while, let the villain go and report." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant hurried to the pavilion in the courtyard.

"Sir, sir."

"Why are you so flustered?" Xie An frowned as he looked at the servant's hurried appearance.

The servant hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Master, there is a young lady at the door, who says it is your niece Xie Lingjiang." ”

"Huh? Ling Jiang is here? A hint of ominous premonition flashed through Xie An's heart, his face was still calm, and he waved his hand and said to the servant: "Quickly take her to the guest hall to talk." Then, he got up quietly and arched his hand to Wang Xizhi and said, "Young Brother Yi, my niece is here to visit, and I will be absent for a while." ”

Wang Xizhi said curiously: "Xie Lingjiang? But the niece of Dao Yun who 'did not rise because of the wind'? ”

Xie An nodded, "Exactly." ”

Xie Wan has been gifted and intelligent since she was a child, sensitive and studious, and knowledgeable. This year is only seventeen, and the story of "Xie Nu Yongxue" is even more known to everyone. "If the catkins rise because of the wind" is even more recited. Xie An loves this niece very much and treats her as her own.

"Brother Anshi, can you easily introduce him?" Wang Xizhi heard his name early, and he met here unexpectedly today, so he was willing to miss it.

"Young Brother Yi, pleaseβ€”" Xie An knew that this old friend had always been informal.

Wang Ningzhi held an umbrella for his father, followed Xie An out of the pavilion and walked straight to the living room.

After a while, the servant led Xie Wan to the guest hall.

Wang Xizhi saw Xie Wan's temperament and appearance, and the secret way really lived up to its reputation. And Wang Ningzhi beside him, a trace of heat suddenly flashed in his eyes.

As soon as Xie Wan saw Xie An, she knelt on the ground and sobbed, "Third uncle! Something happened at home! ”

Xie Anxin chuckled, but his face remained silent. He walked quickly to Xie Wan, quickly pulled her up, frowned and asked, "Why are you so panicked?" ”

Xie Wan looked at Wang Xizhi on the side and hesitated.

Xie An waved his hand, "This Huiji internal history, your lord Wang Shibo Wang Youjun, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Xie Wan eased her emotions, and then said:

"Third uncle, Huan Wen imprisoned the fourth uncle in the prison in the name of escaping from the battle, degraded the fifth uncle as Yongjia's internal history for the crime of negligence, and dismissed him in the name of the eldest brother who collided with the official. The rest of the Xie family children were ordered to go home for reflection! ”

"The day before yesterday, Huan Wen sent someone to find a privately carved jade seal in the fourth uncle's study!" Xie Wan said in horror.

"What a Huan Wen, this is to put the Xie family to death!" This is a major event about the seizure of the family and the extermination of the clan, and Xie An's face finally changed.

He squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then arched his hand at Wang Xizhi and said, "Young Brother Yi, I'm afraid I'm going to leave tomorrow." ”

Wang Xizhi was naturally shocked when he heard Xie Wan's words just now. He sighed, shook his head and said, "Why is Huan Yuanzi like this!" You must be in great danger when you go to Jiankang......"

Wang Xizhi didn't continue, but Xie An also knew what was behind otherwise.

Xie An only then noticed Lin He standing outside the door of the living room, and he asked suspiciously: "I don't know who this descendant is......"

Xie Wan hurriedly beckoned into Lin He and said, "This is Lin Changgeng." My sister and I were chased and killed by several masked men in black on the road, but fortunately he came to the rescue, otherwise, my niece would have become a ghost under the knife! Xie Wan said with red eyes.

Lin He bowed to Xie An, looked at this famous Jiang Zuo who would be famous all over the world in the future, and couldn't help but admire him and said, "In Xia Linhe, I have seen Lord Xie." ”

"Third uncle, Lin Gongzi is not only strong in martial arts, but also has a chivalrous heart......"

"Sister Ling, this person is just a farmer, maybe he has other plans." Before Xie Wan finished speaking, Wang Ningzhi, who was beside Wang Xizhi, suddenly spoke.

When he saw Xie Wan praising Lin He like this, his heart was sour, and he couldn't help but sharpen his tongue between his words.

What kind of vinegar is this to eat? Lin He suddenly lay down with a gun, and a trace of unhappiness crossed his heart.

Xie Wan heard Wang Ningzhi's thin tongue, and her eyebrows suddenly frowned, and her apricot eyes were about to attack.
