Chapter 42 Night Banquet (1)
The man had a slender figure, handsome face, starry beard, and his eyes were as bright as stars, and his face was fair. He could not see himself in his thirties from his appearance alone. He was wearing a loose sky blue robe and high-bottomed black official boots. His smile was friendly and natural, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
The man came to everyone, glanced at the three of them and stopped on Han Mu and said, "Is Han Mu's virtuous nephew?"
Han Mu bowed and replied, "It's exactly what I'm going down."
"It turns out that he is a handsome young man. Wang Zijing's eyes are still so vicious." The man laughed.
Xie Xuan introduced on the side: "This is Mr. Xie, the uncle of my family."
Xie An slapped Xie Xuan with a smile and scolded: "Boy, I am very young?"
Han Mu and others had already guessed that this person was Xie An. At this time, they all bowed and bowed when Xie Xuan introduced him.
Xie An helped Han Mu up and asked everyone to quit, and said with a solemn expression: "Han Mu, I know everything about your family, and I am so sad that I will follow the changes. Once a person dies, Mr. Han is just to escape from the sea of suffering in the world. We still have to endure it."
Han Mu whispered: "Sir Xie Shangshu cares."
Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Xie An ordered Xie Xuan: "Xiao Xuan, please take Han Mu and the others to bathe and change clothes, and then go to the dining room for dinner. The residence will be placed in Dongshan Courtyard next to you. The venue is relatively large and there are many houses, so you can just accommodate dozens of people."
Xie Xuan agreed with a crisp voice and called Han Mu and others to walk in.
A servant had already come forward to lead the horse and helped to get the package. Han Mu, Yuan Gang and others accused him of guilt and left with Xie Xuan.
Everyone took a shower and changed their clothes. After a while, Xie Xuan came over to invite Han Mu, Yuan Gang and Junjie to have dinner. The Flying Tigers team members had their own arrangements for treatment of wounds and meals.
The Xie family's mansion is grand and covers a vast area. Small buildings, gardens and corridors are lined up one after another. The layout of each part of the mansion, from houses to grass and trees, can be seen with unique ingenuity.
Han Mu thought to himself, no wonder in history he said that Xie An is a person who emphasizes both material and spiritual enjoyment.
It was getting dark, but the lights in Xie's mansion were brightly lit. Every house was filled with giant candles, and even the winding corridors were hanging high. The giant candle was a rare thing. Only rich people lit it. Most people burned oil lamps with smoke and fire. Han Mu sighed inwardly that Xie An was really a person who paid great attention to his temperament and spent money like water. The little thing he was tossing in Wuxing was almost a pediatric department.
The dining room is located in the southeast of Xie Mansion. When Han Mu and others arrived, six or seven people had already sat on the dining table. As soon as he entered the dining room, Xie An, who was on the main seat, stood up and pointed to a seat next to him and smiled: "Nephew Han, come and sit next to me."
Han Mu hurriedly gave in moderation, Xie Xuan pushed Han Mu and said, "Brother Han, please sit down, uncle doesn't like to be polite."
Han Mu had no choice but to sit down, Yuan Gang and Junjie sat down at his lower head.
There were nine people on the table, except for Xie An and Xie Xuan’s uncle and nephew, and of course Han Mu did not know any of the other six. Xie An introduced them to Han Mu. From Xie An’s head to the right are Xie Shi, Xie Tie, Xie Lang, and Xie Yan. Han Mu all paid a visit to each other.
Then Xie Shi is Xie An's fifth brother, Xie Tie is the sixth brother, Xie Lang and Xie Yan are Xie An's two sons. Almost all of the Xie clans are here.
Xie Tie and Xie Lang are weak and delicate, while the other three are all powerful and majestic, showing a majestic temperament. Especially Xie Shi, whose face is white, has a huge scar on his left cheek and looks a bit ferocious.
After the introduction, Xie An smiled and said, "It seems that people are coming the most neatly. Apart from Daoyun accompanying his wife to worship Buddha and not returning, the rare fifth brother and Yan'er who were rare to see also came back to join in the fun? Is there nothing wrong in the yamen today?"
When Han Mu heard the word Daoyun, he was shocked: Daoyun Daoyun... That must be Xie Daoyun, the number one talented woman in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Xie Shi said in a muffled voice: "What's the big deal in the Secretariat? It's just a casual rummaging of classics and historical books to prevent borers. Second brother, you don't help me think of ways. This is always the case, and one day I will suffocate to death."
Xie Yan also echoed: "Yes, Dad, the Secretariat is so idle and bored. He has nothing to do every day. When can he achieve success?"
Xie An snorted, "Just relying on your current abilities, you still want to make achievements? You are arrogant and unfair, and you thought you could leave your position in the Secretariat and have no disputes with others, so you could read more books and practice martial arts. Now it seems that you are not sure to keep what you say in your heart."
Xie Yan took this lesson and lowered his head without saying a word; but Xie Shi stammered his neck and said, "Who said I didn't? I am sure to defeat any swordsman in the capital now, even Zhang Xihua, the number one swordsman under Huan Wen, I am sure to fight him."
Seeing his appearance, Xie An sighed and said, "Fifth brother, I have never considered your martial arts skills, but I have seen Zhang Xihua's martial arts with my own eyes. Eight first-class swordsmen died in one move. They were vicious and as fast as ghosts, and you may not be able to do so."
Xie Shi was still waiting for a strong defense, Xie An interrupted him and said, "I will talk about this later. Today I am a welcome to Han Muxian Nephew. You probably don't know it yet. The Wuxing Mansion's residence has just been delivered to me. Han Xianxian is a man of both civil and military. He first led more than a dozen servants of the Han family to wipe out 93 bandits who fled from Xuzhou. Later, he encountered misfortune at home and fought back, killing more than 170 people with thunder... huh... thieves. This courage and martial arts are rare in the world."
After Xie An finished speaking, everyone in the Xie family opened their eyes wide at the table, looking at Han Mu in disbelief.
Han Mu stood up and said humbly: "It is not my own merit. My two sworn brothers will give me advice. The brothers in the family will only do their best to fight bloody battles."
As he said that, he pointed at Yuan Gang and Junjie, "These are my sworn brother Yuan Gang and my sworn brother JJ Lin." Yuan Gang and Junjie hurriedly stood up and saluted.
The Xie family originally thought that the two people following Han Mu were just bodyguards, but they did not expect that they were Han Mu's sworn brothers.
Xie Shi was straightforward. He heard that Han Mu and others killed hundreds of people at any time. He was envious and admired and said: "Three virtuous brothers, I, Xie Shi, admired me so much."
Xie Xuan also interrupted, "It turns out that Brother Han is a great hero with great martial arts skills. He will take me to do it in the future. My kung fu is not bad."
Xie An looked at the uncle and nephew's appearance and smiled bitterly: "One of your uncle and nephew calls him a virtuous brother and the other calls him a big brother. Is this generation so outrageous?
Everyone burst into laughter.
Xie An smiled and said, "Nephew Han has been traveling around for a day and a night. I guess I am so hungry that my stomach is also starting to bulge. Xiao Xuan, please call the kitchen to serve.
Xie Xuan agreed and called the maids in the hall to serve the food and drinks quickly. In a moment, more than a dozen maids with light bodies and beautiful eyes held a plate of food and water to deliver various dishes, and the dishes were filled with delicacies.
