Chapter 41: First Glimpse of My Future Father-in-law
Chapter 41: The first time I saw my future father-in-law
"I didn't think I'd hit someone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Xie An looked at the person who was floating and tossing on the river, and he was not too worried that the person would drown.
It's just that when that person's companions saw this scene, they all flipped the table in anger, Shen Jin and Shen Linfeng simply turned their faces and directly detained them, so as not to cause more disasters - if they really annoyed Xie An, I was afraid that the next things would be worse, and it was also for the sake of the safety of these people's lives.
The man who fell into the water dragged an unloaded arm and struggled to climb ashore, fortunately, the boat leaned against the shore and didn't toss for too long, the man climbed up, but as soon as he got ashore, he was trampled on the neck by Xie An, who was waiting there.
At this time, Xie An, who was dressed as a civilian, abandoned his scruples about his costume and identity, although there were many onlookers on the shore, most of them couldn't see his face.
"It's too bad."
Xie An stepped on the man firmly, waiting for Shen Jin to get off the boat, everyone else was guarded by Shen Linfeng, as soon as Shen Jin came ashore, the boat slowly drove towards the center of the river, and the wind lights of the full boat were extinguished one by one.
Shen Jin knew that Xie An was not an impulsive person, even if this person had a knife on his neck, he would not show a scared look, let alone a few words of ridicule from a drunkard.
Shen Jin could only think of this reason, "Actually, you just want to fight." ”
There were more and more people watching the excitement, Shen Jin was afraid that Xie An would be recognized, so he hurriedly drove him away, and stayed to deal with the aftermath, Xie An shook his head, "It's not so easy to forget it, you now gather people to look at their boats and people, and you can't let any of them go." ”
"I'm going to report ...... Official! The man struggled, and Xie An echoed: "Report it." ”
"You're cutting first, then playing?" Shen Jin frowned slightly, although he couldn't bear this breath, but this matter was made by Xie An, and it was always a little awkward.
"Of course, my brother's wedding is important, anyway, Liu Yin is about to be unlucky, he refuses to abdicate twice in this edict, is he waiting to be cleaned up by Tao Kan and Yu Liang?"
Shen Jin saw that he was so calm, so he had to order someone to guard the ships and goods of these traders, these people were locked up in the Shen family's warehouse, Xie An helped the man's unloaded arm to load, and planned to change clothes, but he didn't expect to pass by the riverside tea shed, and saw a familiar figure standing under the tree with a tea bowl to watch his bustle.
The man beckoned to him.
Even though the night light was dim and Xie An was dark and earthy, he still seemed to be recognized.
Because that person is Wang Xizhi.
After being stared at by Wang Xizhi for a long time, Xie An finally stepped forward helplessly, and before he could say anything, he saw Wang Xizhi shouting at the tea shed, "Daddy, I'll just say it's Ahri." ”
……
A feeling of being finished came up from Xie An'an, not to mention the way he looks now, he is still a bully, which elder will like him.
Seeing that the middle-aged young man in a young dress who was slightly younger than Director Wang got up and walked over, today the two fathers and daughters are also dressed as civilians, which must be for the convenience of playing outside
Xie An and the middle-aged man looked at each other, and at first glance, Xie An found that Wang Xizhi was somewhat similar to his eyebrows, and it was indeed his daughter with his father.
"When did Jiankang become popular with dark skin?" Wang Kuang asked Wang Xizhi, Wang Xizhi shook his head in confusion, pulled Xie An to look under the wind lamp, and then smiled and wiped his face with a handkerchief dipped in tea little by little.
Xie An's face blushed inexplicably, Wang Xizhi wiped his ears, and even the roots of his ears turned red, although he turned his back to Wang Kuang, he vaguely heard the uncle's laughter.
"Oh, it's done, hey, why did your eyes change color?"
Wang Xizhi stood on tiptoe slightly, leaning closer to his eyes to see, Xie An was thinking about how to make a long story short, he and Wang Xizhi naturally had no secrets at all, but this matter involved Sima Zong Du Yu, so he was afraid that Wang Kuang would not understand it.
Wang Kuang dragged his daughter over with a low smile, "There are no rules, why don't you introduce us quickly, and then let him sit at the table to rest, it is also very laborious to fight." ”
"Oh." Wang Xizhi coughed lightly and said seriously: "Ahri, this is my father, Daddy, this is Ahri." ”
This is equivalent to not saying it, the three of them returned to the tea shed and sat down, Wang Kuang looked at Xie An from beginning to end, and said with a faint smile: "San Lang is extraordinary, and he is indeed the best among the children of the family." ”
Xie An said nervously: "Let my uncle see the joke, there is a reason for today's incident, I am not like this on weekdays, right, Ah Suo?" ”
Wang Xizhi clapped his hands and said: "Well, Ahri is very well-behaved on weekdays, those people should be beaten today, Daddy, you said that you came to investigate this batch of city construction materials, and also said that this batch of materials was originally for my uncle to repair the city, but I didn't expect Ahri to coincide with us." ”
Wang Kuang reprimanded: "Just look at it, you want to do it, and you don't want to think that you Long Bo has already made arrangements." ”
Xie An was quite embarrassed and said: "Actually, the little nephew made his own opinion, first cut and then play." ”
Wang Kuang said: "Naturally, you have to have your own opinions, Ah Long accepts you as a student, and he must not accept a wooden man who only listens to him." ”
Wang Xizhi was still staring at Xie An's eyes, and at this time, Ah Yi came back from outside, looked at Xie An, and then said to Wang Xizhi: "Little master, the people of the Shen family have already stopped the merchant ships, and I have inspected along the way and there are no fish that have slipped through the net, so it seems that we don't need to take action." ”
Xie An asked, "What are your plans?" ”
Wang Kuang wrote lightly: "After nightfall, kill all the people on the ship, and then drive the boat away, unload the cargo halfway, and transport it to my ship and drive into Jiankang." ”
……
This idea seemed to be bolder than his own thoughts, Xie An glanced at Ah Yi and found that there were masters who were different.
Wang Xizhi's face was full of joy, "Daddy has driven several ships, let me give it to the eldest princess as a wedding gift." ”
"Ah Jia, you send San Lang back to do errands first, Ah Su Ah Yi and I will stay in the Shen family's boat building tonight, just then I think the scenery on the river is also good." Wang Kuang patted Wang Xizhi's head, "Don't look at Ren Xiaolangjun, it's enough for you to see in the future, let's take a look at your father first." ”
"Ahri has something in his eye, I'll help him get it out." Wang Xizhi didn't give his father face at all, half of his body was on the table, he leaned over and opened Xie An's eyes, and blew gently.
At this moment, a person as keen as Ah Yi immediately felt that there were a few sword qi lingering around Xie An, but as soon as he met Wang Xizhi, he was inexplicably deflated, Wang Xizhi looked at Xie An's eyes that had recovered to normal with satisfaction, and obediently sat back in his position and said, "Who gave you a few sword qi to protect your body?" But you haven't cultivated, so you don't know how to recover it, and I'll write you a Penglai sword book when you get home. ”
Xie An touched his eyes and said, "This matter is a long story, so I'll talk about it later." ”
This is really embarrassing to meet the future father-in-law for the first time, but this is also the worst appearance of himself, right, maybe it will be a plus to see him in the future?
Xie An returned to Wuyi Lane and reported the matter to Director Wang, Director Wang didn't speak, handed him a letter, Xie An read it, and said after a while: "Although this Guo Mo is a general, he didn't make any contribution in Su Jun's rebellion, and now he doesn't want to go back to Jiankang, it seems that he thinks the same as Su Jun, Liu Yin and others, and wants to be a soil emperor outside, and now that the court has recruited him, he ran to Liu Yin, and it is estimated that he will eat closed-door soup." ”
It turned out that the letter said that Guo Mo, the later general who originally participated in the pacification of Su Jun's rebellion, was also a homeless marshal, and now he didn't want to return to Jiankang, so he ran to Liu Yin in Jiangzhou, wanting to ask him to speak for himself, but he didn't think that Liu Yin was also summoned by the imperial court now, so naturally he didn't want to help him.
Moreover, some of Liu Yin's subordinates were quite dissatisfied with Guo Mo, which involved some personal interests and grievances.
Liu Yin didn't help Guo Mo, Guo Mo also relied on Wuchang to ask Liu Yin for travel expenses, so Liu Yin also had a headache these days, after all, Guo Mo was not a bare-bones commander, as a homeless marshal, there were not 3,000 soldiers and horses, but also 5,000, and it was more or less an eyesore to put in front of him.
Xie An said: "So Liu Yin shouldn't have time to take care of any goods now, right?" ”
Director Wang didn't say anything, he didn't seem to take this matter to heart, there was a chessboard in front of him, and the endgame was played with his son Wang Tian, and now his mind was traveling, and he suddenly thought a little far, as far as Wuchang, thousands of miles away.
After waiting for a long time, Director Wang finally said, "Do you think they will kill each other?" ”
Xie An said without thinking: "If the teacher has this concern, I am afraid that it is possible, but no matter which party is in power, if he does not want to return to Jiankang, he is afraid that there will be another Su Jun rebellion in the future." I think that Tao Kan and Yu Liang are secretly not moving this time, maybe at this time. ”
Director Wang fell silent again, and Xie An didn't know what he was thinking, but he always felt that it must be a far-reaching thing to make Director Wang fall into contemplation.
After a long time, when Xie An was a little sleepy, staring at this endgame, he began to play against himself, and in the end, he felt more and more unsolved, it seemed that he had no talent in playing chess.
Just as Xie An was looking at the chessboard and his brain was a mess, Director Wang came out slowly, "Do you want to go to Wuchang to play?" ”
……
"Bring the pony."
……
Xie An blinked and asked, "What does teacher mean?" ”
Director Wang finally smiled at the corner of his mouth, and happily decided: "After the eldest princess gets married, you go out with the horse to experience the experience, and let Shen Jin and Ah Ding follow you." ”
"To Wuchang? Compete with Liu Yin or Guo Mo head-on? Just me and Huan Wen? Xie An couldn't sit still for a moment, and hurriedly asked the most critical thing, "How many soldiers and horses do you want to give us?" ”
Director Wang asked confidently: "When you go out to play, what kind of soldiers and horses do you bring?" ”
Xie An rolled his eyes and said, "Teacher, this is not a joke. ”
Director Wang pretended to sigh and said: "Young people don't tease, Renzu will do his best to help you in Liyang, what are you afraid of?" ”
Xie An still felt a little dangerous, "Guo Moqi, I heard that I have fought with Shi Le many times, and even Shi Le does not dare to underestimate the enemy, and Liu Yin is powerful in Jiangzhou, I am afraid that Huan Wen and I will not be able to ask for any benefits......"
"I don't want you to do anything, just to see and see, once there is a change in Wuchang, you will act when you have the opportunity." Director Wang said lightly, "And you robbed his goods, don't you plan to give an explanation?" ”
The excuse for this trip to see Liu Yin was naturally because of the seizure of urban construction materials, so Xie An went to Jiangzhou to give Liu Yin face to settle the matter.
As for why Huan Wen was allowed to go, it was also to train the horse, although the newlywed Yan'er was about to leave, but how could Huan Wen disagree when he encountered such a thing? In his words, men should set up troubled times, and the more chaotic Wuchang is, the more opportunities can be taken advantage of.
And when he heard that Xie An wanted to rob Liu Yin's goods on the river, he immediately said, "Such a good thing, how can you not ask me to go?" It's still Lord Situ who is interesting enough. ”
Xie An always felt that Director Wang's idea was not to let them see and understand, but it gave him a sense of danger, Wuchang was also the place where Wang Dun was located back then, and it could be said that it was the best place for the soldiers to rebel.
This matter is going to be after Huan Wen's wedding, and now Xie An is still busy with the affairs of the garment bureau, Wang Huzhi and Gu Yuezhi They designed a few clothing samples, Xie An asked the family to pick and make a few, Zhuang's Gu family and the cook at home were busy, but they made a new set of clothes for Xie An to try on in two days.
The azure fabric, the outer coat is light cyan, although the color is not luxurious, but it is extremely down-to-earth, and it also looks very elegant and fresh, Xie An felt very good, and immediately went to the next door with clothes, and officially visited Wang Kuang with large and small gifts.
This time the meeting was finally up to standard, and having already met once, Xie Anxin was a little bottomed up and no longer nervous.
Wang Xizhi, who had been playing outside for a few days, rarely became an ordinary girl, but as soon as Xie An saw the two of them, he heard that they were discussing food, Wang Xizhi also said that Xie An's food was very good, and he wanted to show his hand today.
When Wang Kuang saw Xie An, who was suddenly new, he couldn't help but scratch Wang Xizhi's nose and said, "Don't pay attention to her, this bad girl, seeing that you are wearing new clothes, I want to get dirty." ”
Wang Xizhi said angrily: "Hey, I'm serious, Ahri can stir-fry vegetables, Daddy hasn't eaten stir-fried vegetables, right?"
Xie An hurriedly said: "It's not in the way, there is cloth left just now, so I asked Aunt Zhuang to make a few new aprons, and I will go get one to wrap around, so I am not afraid of getting dirty." ”
The apron designed by Xie An, Wang Xizhi was naturally very curious at the moment, and pulled Wang Kuang from his own courtyard directly to the kitchen of the Xie family. ”
Xie An smiled: "She doesn't cook, what is she wearing?" ”
"In the future, you will always have to cook when you get married." A cook in the Xie family said with a smile.
Xie An said: "Don't say nonsense, her hands are used for writing, and they can't be stained with oil smoke." ”
Wang Xizhi smiled and said nothing, Wang Kuang saw her demented appearance, but he was a little relieved.
Xie An has rarely had time to cook recently, and this time the entire Xie Mansion was invited, and Xie Yi heard that Wang Kuang had also arrived, so he first scolded Xie An for not knowing how to be polite, and he didn't know how to notify him.
Wang Xizhi's temperament is similar to Wang Kuang, that is, both of them are casual people, otherwise Wang Kuang would not have put Wang Xizhi in Jiankang for so many years, and it did not affect the relationship between the two fathers and daughters at all.
However, Xie Di and Xie An seem to have a very orthodox father-son relationship, although there is respect and love, there is always a trace of alienation.
Xie Yu and Wang Kuang played against each other, waiting for Xie An to prepare the dishes, the two families had a simple meal, although the marriage of their children was not talked about during the banquet, but Wang Kuang's smile did not decrease, which made Xie An greatly relieved.
When Wang Kuang left the house with Wang Xizhi, Wang Kuang knew that Wang Dao was going to send Xie An to Wuchang, and knew that the two did not get along for much time, so he agreed to take him on a boat to cruise the river tomorrow.
And the following is naturally a good thing, Xie Anxin comforted, if the encounter on the shore is the first pass, then today's crossing is the second pass, and tomorrow's third pass is the most critical.
