Chapter 20 The Wang Family Bows His Head!
At this moment, when the wine was in full swing, the banquet was more than halfway through, and Wang Shuo appeared on the stage, no matter how you look at it, it is a little unruly.
If it were placed at other times, the representatives of the major sects would certainly not give him any good faces, and would even reprimand him a few words.
But today's situation is more special.
Wang Shuo's son has just been abolished in the Kaishan Xiaobi, and it can be said that his future has been cut off.
So it is completely understandable that Wang Shuo came later.
It's just a little embarrassing that the person who hurt Wang Linfeng is the main owner of today's dinner, Liang Chen, who has just been accepted as a disciple by Luming Academy!
Everyone came here tonight to congratulate Liang Chen and the first joy.
I wish him a speedy leap into the sky and a steady stride.
At such a time, it would not be so appropriate to mention Wang Linfeng again.
Therefore, even if it was like Elder Xu of the Sword Gate, a cultivator who had had a lot of dealings with the Wang family in previous years, he did not step forward to be relieved, but just bowed his head slightly at Wang Shuo, which could be regarded as a greeting.
The so-called warmth and coldness of human affection are vividly reflected at this moment.
Of course, if they were like Luo Yanghao, knowing that the Wang family actually had an eldest son who had been an apprentice in Luming Academy for a long time, maybe their attitude would change one hundred and eighty degrees.
Wang Shuo didn't seem to be interested in talking to other people, he went straight to the main table, picked up a wine glass, filled it himself, and said to Liang Chen: "Wang is here to congratulate Liang Gongzi on being admitted to Luming Academy, which can be regarded as adding a bit of luster to my Drinking Horse Town." ”
After that, Wang Shuo raised his hand and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, then took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to Liang Chen.
"This is what Liang Gongzi asked for before, and he has seen it. As for Chen Guang, I will send someone to escort him to your mansion later. ”
Liang Chen took the box and opened it to see that there was an ancient book and a thick stack of silver tickets.
One thousand taels of gold, according to the proportion of the Liang Dynasty, is about equal to one hundred thousand taels of silver.
There is nothing wrong with the numbers.
With this huge amount of money, Liang Chen's strength will once again get a qualitative leap!
He smiled and put the box in his arms, and seeing that Wang Shuo turned his head to leave, he said unhurriedly: "The government orders your lord to stay." ”
Wang Shuo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what else Liang Gongzi commands?"
Liang Chen picked up a glass of wine, stood up, raised his hand to make an inviting gesture, and said with a smile: "Since you have come, why don't you talk more?"
Wang Shuo was silent for a moment, and finally squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Okay." ”
Liang Chen led Wang Shuo to an empty box on the second floor of the restaurant, stretched out his hand to open the window, and the gentle night breeze immediately brought some cool taste, adding a little more comfort.
But before Liang Chen could speak, he saw a small servant in a restaurant bring wine and refreshments, and lit lamps and candles in the room with his hands and feet.
Liang Chen was very satisfied with the other party's eyesight, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"
When the man heard this, he immediately looked frightened, and said again and again: "Hui Gongzi, the villain's name is Bao Dalong." ”
Liang Chen nodded, and smiled at Wang Shuo: "Lord Wang, do you have any broken silver on you?
Wang Shuo was slightly stunned, thinking that he had just given you 100,000 taels of silver, why did he still need money?
But he didn't ask, just picked up the money bag around his waist and threw it into Liang Chen's hand.
So Liang Chen smiled and took out ten taels of silver from it and handed it to Bao Dalong.
"You're rewarded. ”
Hearing this, Bao Dalong immediately bowed down gratefully and said, "Thank you, Childe!"
"Alright, let's go down. ”
Liang Chen took the money bag into his arms, raised his hand slightly, and let Bao Dalong leave the room, and the latter also closed the door very consciously, so only Liang Chen and Wang Shuo were left in the room.
The flickering candle flame was reflected on Wang Shuo's face, cloudy and uncertain, he opened his mouth slightly, but after all, he still didn't let Liang Chen return the money bag to himself, but just snorted lightly: "I didn't expect Liang Gongzi to take these things outside his body so seriously." ”
Liang Chen smiled: "No way, I was used to being poor when I was a child, if it weren't for my sister, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to read the Caohui Library." ”
Wang Shuo understood the meaning of Liang Chen's words, and responded: "After all, nothing happened to your sister, but my son is gone." ”
Liang Chen shook his head: "That's because I was lucky and happened to enter the Dao, so on the other hand, your son's luck is not so good." ”
Wang Shuo took a deep breath again, suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "What you want, I gave it to you, what else do you want?"
Liang Chen smiled: "I heard that before I came back, the Caohui Study House was almost sealed by the Garrison Mansion. ”
Wang Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly: "That's just a misunderstanding." ”
"A misunderstanding, of course. Liang Chen raised his hand and tasted a glass of Chinese wine, carefully felt the crispness of the wine in his throat, and said with a smile: "I am now a student of Luming Academy, even if you want to kill me again, you have to consider the consequences, so you can't do anything but compromise." ”
Faced with Liang Chen's straightforward attitude, Wang Shuo still held his breath, shook his head and said, "Liang Gongzi is too careful. ”
"Huh. Liang Chen chuckled: "Presumably you have heard about the fate of that inner disciple in Sunset Valley, of course, the situation at that time was quite special, and now I don't have the seniors of Luming Academy by my side to escort me, so, do you want to try?"
As he spoke, Liang Chen slowly turned around and looked at Wang Shuo's eyes without shying away from it.
So he clearly saw that Wang Shuo's eyes shrank slightly.
He could even hear that Wang Shuo's breathing was also half a beat chaotic at this moment.
It's a pity that Wang Shuo didn't do anything after all, he lowered his head slightly, hiding his face in the shadow of the candle flame.
Wang didn't dare. ”
"Hahahaha......" Liang Chen suddenly laughed out loud, looking extremely happy.
"Very good, I hope Lord Wang can deeply remember the feeling of this moment, since you don't dare, you will never dare! I know that you also have a son who is also practicing in Luming Academy, but you had better pray, he doesn't come to provoke me, otherwise, I can only make your Wang family the last." ”
Hearing this, Wang Shuo clenched his fists violently, and the sea of qi in his body surged violently, and even his body trembled slightly.
Then, he keenly discovered that Liang Chen, who was standing in front of him, at this moment, his entire temperament had also undergone earth-shaking changes!
He raised his head in astonishment, just in time to meet Liang Chen's terrifyingly bright eyes.
Where is there still half a point of drunkenness.
"You...... You ......"
Liang Chen secretly said a pity in his heart, and said with a light smile: "Lord Wang's perception is strong, it seems that there is no chance tonight." ”
He stretched out his hand, patted Wang Shuo on the shoulder, turned around and left.
"What I said just now, I hope Lord Wang will not forget, as for the matter of the Caohui Study, although it is just a misunderstanding, but since you have done something wrong, you have to find a way to compensate for it, what did Lord Wang say?"
Wang Shuo stood behind Liang Chen, his clenched fists gradually loosened.
From a distance, his body looked more rickety than when he came.
Wang Shuo nodded: "Wang understands." ”
So Liang Chen raised his hand to push open the door and walked out......
The night was getting deeper.
Dongsheng Restaurant is still brightly lit, and the sound of warblers and swallows in the box on the second floor is endless.
The masters of Hanguang Temple took their leave early.
Wang Shuo returned home earlier, and then did two things.
The first is to ask his subordinate officials to draw up an appropriation item to revitalize the Taoist industry in Yinma Town, and subsidize thousands of taels of silver to the Caohui Study.
The second is to repair a book, so that the old servant who is most loyal to the Wang family will be sent to Luming Academy overnight.
As for Liang Chen, he was helped back home by his sister Liang Yuling after the Yin time.
At this time, the Liang Mansion was no longer full of messes when Liang Chen left, but was cleaned up, and there were even two more servants in the house.
Naturally, it is Zhao Lei and Yu Dapeng of the Black Dragon Society.
That is, the stone and the big bird.
After two days of continuous brainwashing, Liang Chen has basically brought all the Black Dragon Society's Yiyi gang under his command, and now a large number of people are still staying in the dilapidated wooden house on the outskirts of the city, Liang Chen only brought the most heartfelt Zhao Lei and Yu Dapeng back to the city.
I arranged to be a nursing home and a housekeeper at home.
Of course, this is only temporary.
After all, three days later, Liang Chen will go to Luming Academy to practice, as for Liang Yuling......
"Take me with you?"
Liang Yuling's eyes were a little flustered, and she said helplessly: "Can the academy agree to this? junior brother, don't break the rules of the academy because of me, if you annoy the gentlemen of the academy......"
Liang Chen held a bowl of sobering soup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister, I have asked Senior Brother Luo, a big sect like Luming Academy, even if it is a beginner, there is an independent courtyard for weekday accommodation and cultivation, and it is not uncommon for children of those big families to bring a few maids and scholars to go with them." ”
Hearing this, Liang Yuling relieved her heart, and then a bright smile bloomed on her face.
"That's great! I finally don't have to be separated from my little brother! Then let me think about what I have to do these days......
As she spoke, Liang Yuling couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked back and forth in the room, muttering something in her mouth.
Liang Chen looked amused, then grabbed his sister's arm, took a dark breath, looked at her with an extremely serious gaze, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you want to practice?"
Liang Yuling was slightly stunned: "I, I can't do it, I don't have such a great talent as my little brother, besides, ......."
Liang Chen shook his head and interrupted him: "Okay, let's not talk about it first, the key is sister, do you want to?"
"Hmm......" A trace of nervousness flashed in Liang Yuling's eyes, and it was rare to show a hint of a little daughter's demeanor, she reached out and brushed the hair on her forehead behind her ears, and responded a little shyly: "That's naturally what I want, after all, ......"
"Good!"
Liang Chen drank the decanting soup in his hand in one go, then put down the porcelain bowl, took out a book with a simple shape from his arms, and handed it to Liang Yuling's hand.
It is the Heart Sutra of the Sun and Moon.
