Money has always come and gone, spent as much as it comes, with nothing left behind.

Unless the Sima family doesn't want to keep a small treasury, the amount of money that can flow to Sima Yao from various places controlled by the big family is really pitiful.

The emperor's own expenses are not enough, how can he save money?

Thinking back to the Jiankang court, I wonder how old Xie An is doing...

…………

Jiankang City, Wuyi Lane.

In Xie Anshi's mansion, which is large in scale and beautiful in scenery, the green dwarf bamboo forest and the green pool water reflect a young face.

He has a round face, an upturned mouth, and is always smiling. Anyone who sees him will always feel a natural sense of closeness to him unconsciously.

It's a pity that now this beaming mouth is drooping, and even if it is squeezed, it can't squeeze out a smile.

"I've kept Dr. He waiting for a long time. Please come this way."

Xie An's personal little book boy Xie Xiang finally appeared at the lakeside. He Mai, who succeeded He Wuji as Dr. Guozi, had been waiting here for a long time.

Mr. Xie has always been very arrogant. Even if He Mai was asked to wait for a stick of incense, he would not say anything even if he was asked to wait for several hours.

Thinking of the days when he was doing business in Jingkou, this little grievance was nothing to He Mai.

Since He Mai is a young man with a broad mind, why did he stand by the pond with a frown on his face? When he saw Xie Xiang, he couldn't even put on a professional fake smile?

In fact, Xie An's invitation came too suddenly. He Mai was completely unprepared and secretly speculated that the old man Xie An must have been holding back something bad before inviting him to Wuyi Lane.

Is it possible that you can enter the Xie family mansion with its deep courtyard if you want?

Let’s not talk about the past, let’s just say that now there are a lot of officials, think tanks and staff waiting in front of the Xie Mansion.

Many of them have better family status than He Mai, and their official positions are several levels higher. However, they can't even see a single heel of Xie An, let alone others.

However, less than three months after entering the court for the first time, He Mai, who was born in the He family of Lujiang on the fringes of the aristocratic family, actually received this honor.

I have to say, this is really a scary thing.

Could it be that Xie Anhui had a sharp eye and immediately saw He Mai's extraordinary qualities?

Or is he wise enough to not let a young talent like He Mai stay by Sima Yao's side and live in confusion?

With this question in mind, He Mai followed Xie Xiang and walked quickly, and finally met Xie An himself in a cool breeze hall located on a high platform.

"Dr. He, I really feel sorry for keeping you waiting for so long." Xie stroked his beard and smiled slightly.

The more polite you are, the more it means there is something wrong in your heart. He Mai took a deep breath and was prepared to deal with it.

Perhaps Xie An didn't know He Mai's background so clearly. If he had known how eloquent He Xiaolang was in Beijing, he probably wouldn't have invited him here.

"Mr. Xie's words are serious. I am really flattered to be summoned by Mr. Xie when I first entered the official career. I hope that Mr. Xie can give me more guidance in the future so that I can avoid detours."

The Liangfeng Hall chosen by Xie An was indeed filled with cool breezes, which made He Mai's heart freeze. Lao Xie said nothing, so he could only wait patiently.

If he had followed his original character, he would have figured it out a long time ago by making some insinuations, but now that he was facing Xie An, it was better to hold back on his attentive energy.

After waiting for a moment, Lao Xie finally returned his gaze to He Mai.

"I heard that Dr. He has a close relationship with my virtuous son-in-law. Is this possible?"

He Mai's heart skipped a beat, he was really afraid that something might happen, so he quickly agreed: "That's what Mr. Xie said."

"We have known each other since Jingkou. Along the way, the younger generation has been taken care of by Zhiyuan. We have a really good relationship."

Xie An had many eyes and ears in the court, and they, several young people from Jingkou, often met in Jiankang and did not shy away from others. Now that Xie An asked, there was no need to hide anything.
