Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 23 Floating away
  As the saying goes, a little separation is better than a new marriage, not to mention that Huan Xi and Xie Daoyun have been separated for two years.

Only after we have accumulated so much longing and expectation during separation can we feel the joy of reunion.

Huan Xi sent gifts to Xie Daoyun's brothers and sisters and sent them away before telling his fiancée the good news:
  "I have spoken to the Queen Mother and asked her to order a marriage. I think an angel will come to my door tomorrow."

Xie Daoyun blushed and said:

"A real man should put his achievements first. Why is Huan Lang so eager? He is not afraid of being laughed at."

Huan Xi didn't take it seriously and said:
  "I said at the beginning that it doesn't hurt me if others ridicule me. All I want is to be able to stay with Ling Jiang Chang, that's what I want."

Huan Xi's love words filled Xie Daoyun's heart with deep affection, and the two talked to each other again. It was not until it was getting late that Huan Xi left.

After leaving Xie's Mansion and walking dozens of steps, someone called from behind:
  "Ahead is Long Kang Huan Chong."

Only Zhang Xuan of Chen County could call himself Fifth Uncle Huan Chong. Huan Xi turned around and said apologetically:
  "Huan Xi, Huan Bo said, there was a reason for what happened that day, so I took the name of fifth uncle. I didn't mean to hide it. Please forgive Xuanzhi."

Henry Zhang smiled and said:

"On that day, I accompanied my father on the ferry to see Uncle Xie's family away from the capital. I already knew Bo Dao's identity. I was very complacent. The whole city didn't recognize heroes. Only my sister-in-law and I knew how extraordinary Bo Dao was."

Old friends reunited, and the two stopped to chat for a long time. Huan Xi asked Zhang Xuan if he wanted to play chess with him. Zhang Xuan shook his head and said:

"Bo Dao came to Beijing for official business as well as private matters. How could Henry Zhang disturb him?"

The two said goodbye in Wuyi Lane. Huan Xi took Gai Shen back to the Princess of Nankang's house, while Zhang Xuan returned home and sighed to his sister Zhang Tongyun:
  "Huan Lang is fresh and refined. Meeting him is like taking a breath of spring breeze."

Zhang Tongyun felt even more uncomfortable. Yes, she and Xie Daoyun did have a close friendship, but the more so, the more they wanted to compete with each other.

She prides herself on being proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is as talented and talented as Xie Daoyun. No matter what, she cannot lose to her husband.

Zhang Tongyun secretly said:
  ‘I should also choose to marry a hero, how can I commit myself to a mediocre person? ’

The next day, as expected, an angel came to the Huan and Xie families to announce the marriage between Huan Xi and Xie Daoyun. As for the specific wedding date, Huan Wen and Xie Yi had to discuss it.

At this time, Huan Xi was no longer anxious. With the Queen Mother as matchmaker, he was not afraid of Xie Yi regretting the marriage.

He stayed in Jiankang for five days and often visited Xie's house, just to see Xie Daoyun more often.

Of course, he did not forget the important purpose of his trip, which was to visit talented people.

It's a pity that the people who can be favored by Huan Xi are either still young, like his brother-in-law Xie Xuan, who was six years old at the time and was unable to do anything.

Either he is in love with the mountains and rivers and has no intention of becoming an official.

In the end, it was Huan Xi who visited his distant relatives and forced someone to come over. It was Huan Yi who was known as the Flute Saint in later generations.

There are two branches of the Huan family in Qiao State: the Longkang Huan family, whose ancestral home is Longkang County, Qiao State, and the Huan family, whose ancestral home is Zhi County, Qiao State.

Huan Xi came from the Longkang Huan family, and Huan Yi was a direct descendant of the Huan family in Zhi County.

His father Huan Jing once served as Danyang Yin and was a son of an official. If Huan Xi had not come to conquer the country, Huan Yi, who was about the same age as him, would have become an official soon.

Huan Xi was not fond of elegant music, and he did not conquer Huan Yi just to hear him play the bamboo flute.

This man has traveled with his father since he was a child, studied and practiced martial arts, and has a strategic mind. Compared with those celebrities who talk empty talk, Huan Yi is the talent Huan Xi needs. Not long after, Shen Jin also came to Jiankang with his recruitment team.

When he left, he returned to his hometown alone, but when he came, he brought a thousand people with him. Among them, they were all unmarried young people, and they were not the only sons in the family. They left their hometown and followed Shen Jin to garrison Liangzhou.

Shen Jin's reputation in Wuxing was very resounding. At that time, his father Shen Chong was defeated in the army and mistakenly entered the home of Wu Ru, a general in the army. He was killed by him and passed on to Jiankang.

Before his death, Shen Chong said to Wu Ru:
  ‘If you can let me go, I will be rewarded generously. If you kill me for profit, your family will be exterminated after my death. Don’t regret it! ’

Sure enough, when Shen Jin came of age, he wiped out the Wu clan and avenged his father. He was very similar to Huan Wen when he killed three of his enemies' sons in the mourning hall, and was respected by the villagers.

Shen Jin has the full support of the Shen family of Wuxing. Among these thousand steps, there are many people with the surname Shen, who can be said to be disciple soldiers.

The tribesmen all hoped that Shen Jin could establish his career, wash away his humiliation, and most importantly, lift the Wu Xing Shen family from being a member of the Xing family and not being allowed to serve as officials.

The disciple soldiers obeyed the command, fought bravely, and were not easy to break up. These were their advantages. Otherwise, Shen Jin would have guarded Luoyang with 500 men. If Murong Ke and Murong Chui didn't wait for them to attack, they would have fled.

The shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the soldiers are generals, and they take orders from Shen Jin, not Huan Xi.

Of course, Huan Xi knew very well that Shen Jin only wanted to achieve fame and was obedient to his orders, so he didn't pay too much attention to this matter.

In Jiankang's party, Huanxi got Shen Jin and Huan Yi, but he still felt dissatisfied. He always lacked an assistant minister who could coordinate the overall situation for him.

But Huan Xi also had the foresight that if Jiankang could not be found, he could send people to sneak into Guanzhong to search for him when he went to Liangzhou.

In Guanzhong today, there is a great sage whose talent is comparable to that of Zhuge Wuhou, but he has not met the Ming Dynasty yet. He is now twenty-four years old, not far from the age when Wuhou came out to assist Emperor Zhaolie.

If he can get help from this person, Huan Xi will have no regrets even if Xie An doesn't want to change his ways.

It's just that the man always had a high vision. In the original time and space, he went to pay a visit to Huan Wen during his Northern Expedition. After having a discussion with Huan Wen, the man ignored Huan Wen's invitation. After all, Huan Wen's talent failed to catch his eye.

Huan Xi is not sure whether the other party is willing to assist him, so he will naturally show the greatest sincerity.

But Huan Xi is different from Huan Wen. If he cannot be used by himself, he should be killed to avoid future troubles. How can he let the tiger go back to the mountain?

Huan Xi was thinking about his Marquis Wu and had no intention of staying in Jiankang. He went to Xie Mansion to say goodbye to Xie Daoyun and told him that he would set off tomorrow.

Xie Daoyun gave Huan Xi a sachet, which contained the peace charm she specially asked for in front of the Buddha. There was not much reluctance between the two, and their affection for each other was unspoken.

The next day, Huan Xi took the sachet with him and waved goodbye to the Xie family siblings who came to see them off. Along with them were not only Qianbubu recruited by Shen Jin, but also Huan Chong and his wife who returned to Jiangling.

As the fleet left the shore, Huan Xi looked at the Xie siblings whose figures were gradually blurring, and said to Huan Yi behind him:
  "Shuxia (Huan Yi), can you play a song for me?"

Huan Yi didn't answer. He knew that Huan Xi's separation sorrow was difficult to resolve, so he took out his bamboo flute and played a plum blossom song.

The sound of the flute was melodious, and even if the ship disappeared into the thick fog, Xie Daoyun could faintly hear the beautiful strings.

‘We say goodbye today, I don’t know when we will see each other again. ’

Xie Daoyunxin said.

　There is another chapter of three thousand words, at nine o'clock in the evening.
