Chapter 48: I've Met My Eldest Sister
Wang Gong fled, as Wei Jie's words, under the deliberate release of the defenders, Wang Gong and his personal guards fled from Jiankang overnight and returned to their station, Qingzhou!
The next morning, Xie An was furious in the court, and reprimanded Sima Daozi and his son for dereliction of duty and slackness in city defense, and once again punished the father and son, but under the mediation of Wang Guobao and others, he took the head of a soldier guarding the city to blame, and the matter was over. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xie An even bluntly said in the court that Sima Yao was too indecisive, and now Wang Gong fled back to Qingzhou, but he was afraid that there would be troubles, all morning, Xie An's angry voice could be heard in the court, and soon after retreating from the court, news came out from Wuyi Lane that Xie An was sick!
For a while, the atmosphere in the entire Jiankang City became extremely weird, Xie An was old after all, and he was so emotional in the court this time, and as a result, he became ill, and no one knew if Xie An could stand up again after he fell.
The first to panic was Sima Yao, without Xie An to deter the court for him, he was just a pure puppet, and he sent the best imperial doctor in the palace to form a group to see Xie An, but after returning to the palace, they were all depressed, and they couldn't say why.
The vicinity of Wuyi Lane was crowded with people, most of them were ordinary people who came to visit Xie An spontaneously, and there were some spies with ulterior motives.
Xie Xuan is back, Wang Ningzhi and his wife, who are guarding in Huiji, are also back, Xie Wan, Xie Shi, Xie Qi and other military bigwigs of the Xie family have also returned to Jiankang City one by one to visit Xie An, the backbone of the Xie family.
"All the big names of the Xie family have returned to Jiankang City, is it not possible for Gong An to do it?"
At this time, Wei Jie, Liu Muzhi was also watching the development of the situation in Jiankang City, the two were listening to the discussion of the surrounding crowd in Qinhuai Tower, Liu Muzhi frowned and said, there was a faint expectation in his tone.
Wei Jie shook his head slightly, he really didn't know, it stands to reason that Xie An still has several years to live, but what is recorded in the history books at the moment can no longer be fully believed.
"I can't say, after all, I'm old, and if I toss it again this time, it's not strange if something happens!"
The most taboo thing for the elderly is that their mood swings are too great, isn't the grandmother of the later generations of Wei Jie just because she can't stand the blow of his death and becomes a vegetative person?
"If An Gong can't do it, will he take action against you?" Liu Muzhi suddenly remembered that Xie An had said that he would deal with the scourge of the Wei Rank before he left the world, and said with a change of color at the moment.
Wei Jie's heart suddenly beat and his heart was beating faster, he wouldn't be so unlucky, if Xie An turned his heart sideways and had to wipe himself out, it would be a matter between his hands, and he couldn't sit down calmly at the moment.
"Let's go to Wuyi Lane and visit An Gong!"
The strange thing is that the dignitaries and nobles who were stopped outside Wuyi Alley did not know how many, but Wei Jie, Liu Muzhi, and the two of them were released after reporting their names.
"It seems that Gong An knew that you would come, and he must have to inspect you later, so you have to be careful!" Although he was allowed to leave by the guards, Liu Muzhi was not happy, but said worriedly.
Wei Jie nodded slightly, did not speak, before the guards let him go, he had the urge to turn around and go back, Xie An obviously knew that he was coming, would he leave himself in Wuyi Lane, or even let himself disappear in the world?
At this point, Wei Jie's can only force himself to calm down, the more critical the time, the more he must deal with it calmly, if Xie An really can't do it, even if he can't change Xie An's opinion of himself, he must let him dispel the idea of taking him along.
Wuyi Lane is a quiet alley, the alley is very deep, there are two huge manors on the left and right, respectively, the Xie family and the Wang family, the two most powerful high gates in the two Jin Dynasty.
The alley looked very deserted, and Wei Jie, who was worried about it, and Liu Muzhi came to the gate of Xie Mansion, only to see that Xie Kun was already waiting at the door.
"Please come in!"
Except for his slightly cold expression, Xie Kun had no other abnormalities, and his tone was very calm, completely different from the state when he saw Wei Jie in the past, when he wanted to trample him under his feet immediately.
"This kid is so calm, could it be that he already knows An Gong's thoughts?" Xie Kun's abnormality made Wei Jie's heart even more uneasy, and while secretly speculating, he followed Xie Kun towards the courtyard, and the scenery of Xie Mansion was completely indifferent to appreciating the taste.
Unconsciously, the group of three walked into a hall, Xie Kun stopped, and Wei Jie, who was following Xie Kun, was a little distracted, and almost bumped into Xie Kun, Wei Jie, who could only smile apologetically, the other party was not rude, and he couldn't be stingy.
Xie Kun just sneered, ignored the two of them, and left the hall directly, only then did Wei Jie notice that there were already many people sitting in the hall.
Seven people, Wei Jie's only knew two of them, namely Xie Xuan and Wang Ningzhi, both of whom had been his guests at the ceremony of the weak crown, and the other five, three men and two women, did not know any of them.
"Xiao Jie's here, come in and sit down!"
Seeing Wei Jie and Liu Muzhi standing at the door a little dazed, Xie Xuan got up and greeted him, and said with a smile.
"I've seen Commander Xie!"
Xie Xuan's kindness made Wei Jie's feel a lot more at ease, and he didn't shirk at the moment, pulled Liu Muzhi into the hall, found a chair near the door and sat down.
"Xiao Jie, let me introduce you!" Xie Xuan stood in the hall and introduced everyone to Wei Jie one by one, and Wei Jie hurriedly got up and saluted one by one.
Sitting on both sides of the first place in the hall are Xie Wan and Xie Shi, both of whom are Xie An's younger brothers, Xie Xuan's uncles, and sitting at Xie Shi and Xie Xuan's hands is a beautiful woman, who looks a little similar to Xie An, it is Xie An's daughter, Xie Lingyun.
There were two people, a woman and a man, sitting at Xie Wan's hand, and the male Wei Jie knew that it was Wang Ningzhi, a short and fat man who was quite impressed, and he still looked half-asleep and half-awake at the moment.
And the woman sitting between Xie Wan and Wang Ning made Wei Jie's eyes shine, at the age of her early thirties, her appearance naturally cannot be compared with Yan Meng, compared to the other two women of the Xie family, Xie Lingyun and Xie Zhongling, are slightly inferior, but her elegant and Sui'an temperament is the same as Xie An.
"Thank you!"
Wei Jie silently read the name in his heart, the Xie family in Wuyi Lane, except for Xie An and Xie Xuan, what he knows best is this Xie Daoyun in front of him, the most famous female poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the most talented descendant of the Xie family after Xie An, but unfortunately the marriage is not happy, married to such a short and fat man!
"What a flower stuck in cow dung!" Wei Jie couldn't help but slander in his heart, glanced at Wang Ningzhi next to him, and saw that the other party didn't care about himself at all and talked to anyone, so he immediately sighed secretly.
"If you don't mind, I'll call you Xiaojie like Xiao Xuan!" Xie Daoyun smiled and said, she is a talented woman, she has already heard of the reputation of Wei Jie, and she is happy for this junior.
"Of course I don't mind, if it weren't for the seniority, the Wei Rank would want to call you big sister!" Wei Jie, too, smiled and said in harmony.
"If you want, how about calling Elder Sister?"
Xie Daoyun suddenly said happily, as soon as these words came out, Xie Wan Xie Xuan was fine, but he was slightly stunned, while Xie Shi was unconcerned, and Wang Ningzhi still looked like he had nothing to do with himself, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Wei Jie's heart moved, his face showed no traces, and he immediately bent down and saluted, and shouted: "I've seen the eldest sister!" ”
"In the future, Xiao Jie, just like Xiao Xuan, will be my own brother!" Xie Daoyun took Wei Jie's hand and said to the other people in the hall.
Xie Wan Xie Xuan shook his head with a smile, Xie Shi stopped talking and didn't speak.
"Congratulations to the eldest sister, and congratulations to the little step!"
Xie Lingyun stood up and said congratulations, but there was no trace of joy on his face, Wei Jie felt strange in his heart, judging from the demeanor of these people in the hall, Xie An's condition should not be as serious as rumored by the outside world, why did this Xie Lingyun always have a bitter face?
"Xiaojie is young, he is pedantic, talented, and quite far-sighted, he is already very appreciated by the uncle, and now he is taken by the eldest sister and recognized as the younger brother, which is really gratifying!" Xie An is not there, although there are still two elders in the hall, but obviously the person in charge is Xie Xuan, and at this moment, Xie Xuan opened his mouth, and everyone had nothing to say.
Wei Jie's heart was relieved, after all, he still got in touch with the Xie family, although he was scrupled by Xie An, but there are still many people in the Xie family who appreciate him and affirm himself, maybe taking the route of relatives and friends can change Xie An's opinion of himself.
"Big brother smiled!" Before he knew it, Wei Jie's words had changed and he also called Brother Xie Xuan.
"Come with me, Uncle is waiting for you in the room!" Xie Daoyun nodded slightly at Liu Muzhi and motioned for him to wait here. Then he took Wei Jie's hand and walked towards the back of the hall.
"Uncle, are you better? Xiaojie has come to see you! ”
In the bedroom, Xie An was resting on the couch, and Xie Daoyun walked gently to the front of the collapse and called softly.
"The old man is fine, you two can sit down and talk!" Xie An didn't fall asleep, he sat up when he heard the words, looked at Wei Jie and Xie Daoyun with a smile and said.
Wei Jie's heart suddenly sudden, didn't he say that he was sick? How can you act like a nobody, could it be that you are pretending to be sick?
"Wei Jie, I heard that An Gong was in poor health, so he came to visit, hoping that An Gong can recover as soon as possible!" Wei Jie's demeanor said respectfully, and his demeanor was extremely respectful.
"Hehe, Xiao Jie's is worried that the old man will not be able to survive, and he will not even be able to live with you, right?" Xie An smiled and joked, Xie Daoyun covered his mouth and chuckled when he heard this, and did not show any surprised look, Xie An's views and scruples about Wei Jie She obviously knew it a long time ago.
"Gong An laughed, Wei Jie's sincere came to visit Gong An!" Wei Jiehao Ran said.
"Sincerely, fakely, it doesn't matter, the old man expected you to come, just take the opportunity to discuss something with you!" As he spoke, Xie An sat on the stool opposite the guard steps in his pajamas.
"Presumably you already know about Wang Gong's killing of Du Zigong, I don't know what Xiao Jie's opinion is on this matter?"
