Chapter 48: I've seen the big sister
Wang Gong fled. As the Wei Jie said, with the willingness of the defending army to let go, Wang Gong and his personal guards fled Jiankang overnight and returned to their own station, Qingzhou!
The next morning, Xie An was furious in the court and scolded Sima Daozi and his son for neglecting their duties and slacking the city defense. He also advised them to punish the father and son again, but with the mediation of Wang Guobao and others, he took a soldier guarding the city and the matter was left unresolved.
Xie An even said in the court that Sima Yao was too indecisive. Now that Wang Gong fled back to Qingzhou, he was afraid that there would still be future troubles. Xie An's angry voice could be heard in the court throughout the morning. Shortly after he retired from the court, news came from Wuyi Lane that Xie An was sick!
For a moment, the atmosphere in Jiankang City became extremely strange. Xie An was old after all, and he was so excited in the court this time, but he became ill. No one knew whether Xie An could stand up again after falling down.
The first thing that panicked was Sima Yao. Without Xie An, he was a pure puppet. He was now sent to the best imperial doctor in the palace to treat Xie An. However, after returning to the palace, they were all depressed and could not tell what was going on.
The vicinity of Wuyi Lane was crowded with people, most of whom spontaneously came to visit Xie An's common people, and some spies with ulterior motives. In Jiankang City, from Gaomen to peddlers and pawns, they were all trapped in the waiting and watching.
Xie Xuan was back, and Wang Ningzhi and his wife who were guarding Kuaiji also came back. Xie Wan, Xie Shi, Xie Dan and other military leaders of the Xie family also returned to Jiankang City one by one to visit Xie An, the backbone of the Xie family.
"All the big men of the Xie family have returned to Jiankang City. Can't An Gong be able to do it?"
At this time, Wei Jie and Liu Muzhi were also watching the development of the situation in Jiankang City. The two were listening to the discussions of the crowd around them in Qinhuai Tower. Liu Muzhi frowned and said, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
Wei Jie shook his head slightly. He really didn't know. It is logical that Xie An still has several years to live, but what is recorded in history books can no longer be fully believed.
"I can't say it's true. After all, I'm old. If something happens to you again, it won't be surprising if something happens!"
The most taboo thing for the elderly is that their emotional fluctuations are too great. Didn’t the grandmother of Wei Jie’s later generations become a vegetable because she could not withstand the blow of his death?
"If Mr. An fails, will he attack you?" Liu Muzhi suddenly thought that Xie An once said that he would deal with the disaster of Weijie before he left the world, and he said that he changed his color.
Wei Jie's heart suddenly broke out, his heartbeat accelerated, he wouldn't be so unlucky. If Xie An made up his mind and insisted on erasing himself, it would be a matter of overturning his hands. He could no longer sit calmly.
"Let's go to Wuyi Lane to visit An Gong!"
Strangely, there were countless nobles who were stopped outside Wuyi Lane, but Wei Jie and Liu Muzhi were released after reporting their names.
"It seems that Gong An knew you would come, and he would have to investigate you later. You must be careful!" Although he was released by the guards, Liu Muzhi said with no joy and worriedness.
Wei Jie nodded slightly and did not say anything. Before, the guard let him go, and he had the urge to turn around and go back. Xie An obviously knew that he was coming. Will he leave himself in Wuyi Lane and even let himself disappear in the world?
Now that things have come to this point, Wei Jie can only calm down. The more critical the time is, the more calm you must deal with it. If Xie An really can't do it, even if he can't change Xie An's view of himself, he must let him give up the idea of taking him away.
Wuyi Lane is a quiet alley with deep alleys, with two huge manors on both sides, namely the Xie family and the Wang family, the two most powerful high-level gates during the Jin Dynasty.
The alley seemed very deserted. Wei Jie and Liu Muzhi came to the gate of Xie Mansion, and saw that Xie Kun was already waiting at the door.
"Please come in!"
Except for his slightly cold expression, Xie Kun had nothing unusual. His tone was very calm, which was completely different from the previous state of wanting to step on him immediately when he saw the Wei Jie.
"Is this kid so calm, can he already know what An Gong is thinking?" Xie Kun's abnormality made Wei Jie even more uneasy. While secretly speculating, he followed Xie Kun to the courtyard. The scenery of Xie's mansion was completely uneasy.
Unconsciously, the group of three walked into a hall. Xie Kun stopped. The Wei Jie, who was following Xie Kun, was a little lost and almost ran into Xie Kun. Wei Jie could only smile apologetically. The other party was not rude and he could not be stingy.
Xie Kun just sneered, ignored the two of them anymore, and left the hall directly. Only then did Wei Jie notice that there were already many people sitting in the hall.
Wei Jie only knew two of the seven people, namely Xie Xuan and Wang Ningzhi. Both of them were Binzan at his twentieth ceremony, and none of the other five, three men and two women.
"Xiaojie is here, come in and sit down!"
Seeing Wei Jie and Liu Muzhi standing at the door a little confused, Xie Xuan stood up to meet him and said with a smile.
"I've seen Commander Xie!"
Xie Xuan's kindness made Wei Jie feel much more at ease. He didn't refuse at the moment, and pulled Liu Muzhi into the hall, found a chair near the gate and sat down.
"Xiao Jie, I'll introduce it to you!" Xie Xuan stood in the hall and introduced everyone to the Wei Jie one by one. Wei Jie hurriedly stood up and greeted each other.
The first person sitting in the hall was Xie Wan and Xie Shi. Both of them were Xie An's younger brothers and Xie Xuan's uncles. Sitting at Xie Shi and Xie Xuan's attack was a beautiful woman, who looked a bit similar to Xie An, and she was Xie An's daughter, Xie Lingyun.
Xie Wan was sitting at the beginning of the game, a woman and a man. The male Wei Jie knew him, and he was the short and fat man Wang Ningzhi, who was quite impressed. At this moment, he still looked half asleep and half awake.
The woman sitting between Xie Wan and Wang Ning made Wei Jie's eyes lit up. She was in her early thirties and her appearance could not be compared with Yan Meng. She was slightly inferior to the other two women of the Xie family, Xie Lingyun and Xie Zhongling, but her elegant and elegant temperament was exactly the same as Xie An.
"Xie Daoyuan!"
Wei Jie silently recited this name in his heart. In addition to Xie An and Xie Xuan, the Xie family in Wuyi Lane, what he knew best was Xie Daoyuan in front of him, the most famous female poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the most talented descendant of Xie An after Xie An. Unfortunately, his marriage was not happy and he married such a short and fat man!
"It's really a flower stuck in cow dung!" Wei Jie couldn't help but complain in his heart, glanced at Wang Ningzhi next to him, and saw that the other party ignored him and said that he was talking to anyone, and immediately sighed secretly.
"If you don't mind, I will call you Xiaojie like Xiaoxuan!" Xie Daoyun said with a smile. She was a talented and talented woman. She had heard of Weijie's reputation for a long time, and she was happy about this junior.
"Of course I don't mind. If it weren't for the seniority, Wei Jie would like to call you "Sister!" Wei Jie also smiled and said in a harmonious voice.
"So what if you want to call me "Sister?"
Xie Daoyuan said happily. As soon as this statement came out, Xie Wan and Xie Xuan were fine, but he was slightly stunned. Xie Shi had an unexpected look on his face, and Wang Ningzhi still looked like he was not concerned about his own affairs, closing his eyes to rest.
Wei Jie's heart moved, and there was no trace on his face. He immediately bent down and bowed, shouting: "I've seen my elder sister!"
"From now on, Xiaojie will be like Xiaoxuan, and will be my brother!" Xie Daoyuan took Weijie's hand and said to the other people in the hall.
Xie Wan and Xie Xuan laughed and shook his head. Xie Shi wanted to speak but stopped, and groaned without saying a word.
"Congratulations to my elder sister, and also to Xiaojie!"
Xie Lingyun stood up and said congratulations, but there was no expression of joy on his face. Wei Jie was surprised. Judging from the expressions of the people in the hall, Xie An's condition should not be as serious as the rumors outside. Why did Xie Lingyun always have a bitter face?
"Xiaojie is young and has a good academic talent, and is quite visionary. He is very admired by his uncle. Now he is attracted by his elder sister and is regarded as his younger brother. It is really gratifying!" Xie An was not there. Although there were two elders in the hall, it was obvious that the person in charge was Xie Xuan. At this moment, Xie Xuan spoke, and everyone had nothing to say.
Wei Jie was relieved, but he finally got involved with the Xie family. Although Xie An was worried, many people in the Xie family still appreciated him and affirmed him. Perhaps taking the route of relatives and friends can change Xie An's view of himself.
"Brother is laughing!" Unconsciously, Wei Jie had already changed his words and called Brother Xie Xuan.
"Xiao Jie comes with me, uncle is waiting for you in the room!" Xie Daoyun nodded slightly to Liu Muzhi and signaled him to wait here. Then he took Wei Jie's hand and walked towards the back of the hall.
"Uncle, are you getting better? Xiaojie is here to see you!"
In the dormitory, Xie An was resting on the bed. Xie Daoyuan walked gently to the front of the collapse and called him softly.
"I'm fine, you both sit down and talk!" Xie An was not asleep. He sat up and smiled and looked at Wei Jie and Xie Daoyuan.
Wei Jie's heart was surprised. Didn't he say he was sick? Why did he look like someone who was fine? Could it be that he was pretending to be sick?
"Wei Jie heard that Mr. An was ill and came to visit him. I hope Mr. An can recover soon!" Wei Jie said respectfully, with an extremely respectful expression.
"Haha, Xiao Jie is worried that I will not be able to do it anymore, and you will not be able to survive, right?" Xie An laughed and said jokingly. Xie Daoyun covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard this, and did not show any unexpected expression. She obviously knew about Wei Jie's views and concerns.
"Mr. An is joking. Wei Jie is here to visit An.!" Wei Jie Hao Ran said.
"Whether it's true or false, it's okay. I'm sure you will come and take the opportunity to discuss something with you!" As he spoke, Xie An sat on the stool opposite the guard steps in his pajamas.
