Chapter 6 The Aroma of Wine
"The marriage has been decided by the Holy Lord, and the affairs of Nacai Wenji have been completed, and you can get married in the early spring of next year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This news will spread all over the streets and alleys in a short time, and I am here to remind you, don't make any trouble and lose the face of the palace at that time. ”
Wu Yu made the final decision, and let this marriage be nailed to the iron plate, Wu Ming knew that he couldn't push it off, so he could only nod.
"Alright, there's nothing else to do, you go down." Wu Yu's voice paused, and then said, "You can take the two people at the door, but you have to abide by the rules in the future, and don't let people grab the handle when you do things." ”
Wu Ming's heart was shocked, knowing that what happened today was probably seen through by his father, and his punishment of the two servants was also to remind himself, and he couldn't help but feel slightly bitter in his heart. With the experience of "Zhuang Wudao", Wu Ming thought that he had returned to this time period, his mind was more mature, and he had the advantage of predicting the development of things, so he should be able to turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain, and easily stir up the world. I didn't expect to meet my father today, and I realized that things were not so easy.
Wu Ming didn't feel anything in the past, but now Wu Ming knows very well in his heart how unfathomable his father Wu Yu is.
Compared with this prominent prince of the Southern Heaven Dynasty, his experience of assisting the prince to seize the throne is actually nothing.
"Father, I still have something to ask for." Wu Ming didn't retreat immediately, but said loudly, "The child wants something from his father." ”
"What?" Wu Yu didn't raise his head, as if he was carefully studying the scriptures on the table.
"A jar of famous wine given by the emperor, Changjing rice wine."
"Oh?" Wu Yu finally raised his head again at this time, with a displeased face, "You are a scholar, you should read scriptures every day to praise benevolence and righteousness, how can you indulge in wine and ask me for wine?" ”
That Changjing rice wine is not an ordinary product, but a fine wine prepared by the imperial wine master, and each jar of wine is at least a hundred years old, and the output is very small. Wu Yu, as a prince above 10,000 people under one person, is fortunate to receive an altar in the palace during the New Year's holidays, and he is usually reluctant to drink it at home.
Wu Ming knew all these things, but he had already calculated.
"Soon it will be the birthday of the prince of the unequaled army, and the child is thinking about what gift to give to the little army marquis to celebrate his birthday, and he heard that the little army marquis has good wine, and he thinks about it, only this Changjing rice wine is the most suitable, and he asks his father to fulfill it."
Wushuang Junhou has a high prestige in the army, although he is not involved in party disputes in the court, but he is faintly biased towards Wu Yu's vein, Wu Ming is expected to bring out this military marquis, and his father will be willing to give up a jar of good wine.
If you can really make good friends with the prince of the military marquis, what is a jar of good wine, and Wu Yu can also help Wu Ming come with ten altars.
"Go down, and someone will deliver it to you in a few days." Sure enough, hearing that it was the birthday of the unequaled Hou Shizi, Wu Yu nodded in agreement without thinking about it.
Wu Ming saw that his goal had been achieved, and finally bowed and turned around and went out. Several guards outside the door had already stopped the whipping and threw the two servants of Wang and Li on the ground, Wu Ming took a closer look and found that although the two of them looked weak, they were both flesh wounds, and they did not hurt the roots. What's more, both of them are low-level Qi refining cultivators, and these injuries can be recovered by taking some pills.
When the leading guard saw Wu Ming come out, he asked the rest of the guards to set up the two of them, and asked Wu Ming what to do with the two next.
"Carry them all back to their rooms." Wu Ming originally wanted to change two servants, but he thought that Mrs. Luo's eyeliner was everywhere in the house, and it was actually the same whether he changed people or not, so he simply used these two people.
Seeing a few guards disappearing into the night with the two servants, Wu Ming pondered for a moment to make sure that there was nothing wrong with today's events, and then returned to his hut as usual, lit the candlelight, and picked up a book of classics to look at it carefully.
……
After Wu Ming left, Wu Yu put down the books in his hand, glanced at the curtain next to the bookshelf behind him, and said softly: "He has already left, and he hasn't come out yet?" ”
The light of the curtain shook for a while, and under the light, a tall and thin young man lifted the curtain and walked out, standing behind Wu Yu in a regular manner. The young man was ordinary-looking, dark-skinned, wearing black-scale armor and a sword hanging from his waist, and stood there straight with the air of a soldier who was not angry and arrogant.
If Wu Ming was here, he would have exclaimed, Third Brother, you are back!
This person is Wu Yu's third son Wu Xian, who followed Wu Yu on the battlefield at the age of fourteen, and it stands to reason that he should still be leading troops at this time, but for some reason he is now following Wu Yu back to the house secretly. He had just heard a conversation between Wu Ming and Wu Yu.
"Why, I didn't dare to come out to see your brother after hiding for so long, so I was empty-hearted?" Wu Yu saw that Wu Xian's expression was a little unnatural when he stood still, and asked with a smile.
Wu Xian's face was bitter: "Father's words are light, the Hou family's marriage contract originally fell on me, and now I am naturally ashamed to push such a ** trouble to the fourth brother." ”
"Hmph, the soldiers on the battlefield are used to drinking and scolding all day long, why do you come back and play with me? Looks like you're really guilty. When Wu Yu saw this son speaking in a screeching manner, he immediately knew his thoughts. Snorted coldly and said, "The Hou family's abacus is playing well, and it is clear that they want to insert chess pieces into my door, but the saint deliberately embarrasses us and adds fuel to the fire." I have also heard some of Hou Qingxuan's reputation, except for Jun Hao among the four of you, the remaining three are not her opponents, but unfortunately Jun Hao's cultivation has reached a critical juncture, where is there time to waste on intrigue with women. It's better to let that woman stick to your fourth brother than to stick to you. ”
"But the fourth brother is a weak scholar and can't practice, so won't he be eaten to death?" Wu Xian was still a little relieved.
"It's because he doesn't know how to practice that it doesn't matter. No matter how much the daughter of the Hou family has the means, how much can she exert in the face of a mortal? Is it possible to kill the husband directly? Wu Yu sneered, a cold light on his face faintly appeared, "Hou Lao is confused and willing to toss, just let him toss, anyway, he is destined to get no benefit in my Wu family." ”
But the fourth brother is your own son, so just use him as a target and let others toss him, isn't it...... Too unkind?
Wu Xian's words almost wanted to be spoken, but he finally held back in his throat.
Among the heirs of the three houses on the side of the Wu family, the relationship between him and Wu Ming is the best, Wu Junhao and Wu Tongxuan have never taken their younger brother seriously, and they wanted to talk about their unfavored younger brother, but thinking about it, they were still speechless.
Before the imperial examination, Wu Ming was destined to be just a waste son in the house.
"By the way, there has been a demon disaster in the palace in the past few days, which has disturbed several ladies in the harem, Your Majesty is furious and ordered the Zodiac Temple to investigate thoroughly, after all, your cultivation is limited, go out with more people, be careful of flying trouble." Wu Yu no longer talked about Wu Ming, but talked about the secrets in the palace.
"This, in the capital of Gyeonggi, there is a Taoist 36-day great array defending it within a radius of thousands of miles from the five prefectures of Sanzhou, where do the monsters come in?" Wu Xian was shocked.
"It is said that the Demon Pavilion of the Zodiac Temple Town was relaxed for a while, allowing a few little demons to escape, a total of more than a dozen, the strongest has Linghai cultivation, a little tricky, and the others are not to worry about." Wu Yu waved his hand, indicating that there was no mess, but then he frowned and pondered, "The Zodiac Temple is nominally the institution of the imperial court to supervise the monks, but in fact it is still controlled by the group of Taoist priests in the South Gate Temple, and I don't know what those old things are thinking, the recent movement is a bit big, in the past few days, I first quarreled with the Tianxing Cave, the holy land of the Great Liang Empire, and then made some trouble with the remnants of the demon clan abroad." It seems that it is necessary to suppress it, let them know that people outside the world should have the posture of people outside the world, and do not interfere with the artifact of Sheji for no reason. ”
The content pattern of Wu Yu's words is already a bit huge, and it is not something that Wu Xian can consider, he just listened silently and did not say a word.
"Also, this time you let you secretly bring your own soldiers back, it's all for the sake of the mysteries, you have to send someone to keep an eye on it, if there is really something wrong, don't care about brotherhood, take it down for me on the spot immediately." Wu Yu closed his eyes, muttered a sentence as if he was recuperating, and suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"If you resist, if necessary, live or die......"
"Yes......"
Wu Xian's body was shocked, he took a step back, and bowed down to give a military salute.
Wu Yu seemed to be tired, kneaded the flesh between his eyebrows with both hands, and said no more.
The next day, Wu Yu left the palace early in the morning and went to the Xixian land to garrison the pass, where the more than 400,000 Tianyu troops still needed him to command. Wu Xian, however, secretly led 900 elite soldiers to stay in Kyoto, and few people in Kyoto knew about this matter.
As usual, when Wu Yu is not at home, all the orders of the Wu Mansion are in charge of the eldest lady.
Wu Ming has been staying at home to recuperate, and has not returned to the Huayi Sword Sect for a long time, the courtyard where he lives is too far away from the main courtyard where the eldest lady Luo and the second lady Liu live, and they don't meet every morning and evening, and they are also idle. Changjing rice wine was sent by Wu Yu the next day, Wu Ming took the wine and didn't collect it, just placed it in the spare corner of the bookcase, and deliberately opened the seal a little, wafting the room full of wine.
This is a bitter time for Liu Lao who is standing guard at the door. The old man has no other hobbies, just a thirst for alcohol, usually smelling the fragrance at the door, looking through the window and not being able to enjoy the famous wine, this is really a living torture.
Wu Ming saw all this in his eyes, just smiled, and continued to dance and ink at the desk.
Copying the entire "Priest's Manuscript" of the previous dynasty, putting down the wolf pen, neatly arranging the rice paper in the sun to dry, looking at the paper stroke by stroke full and round, the pen tactfully penetrated the back of the paper, quite a self-contained style, Wu Ming clapped his hands and smiled with satisfaction.
"The birthday gift of the little marquis, just use this character."
If Wu Yu was beside him at this time, he would definitely blow his beard and stare at him when he heard this. It's a pity that Wu Yu has only returned to Beijing for a few days, and he has gone out to lead the army in the past two days, so he can't see Wu Ming's plan to hide from the world and cross the sea in any case.
"Uncle, your handwriting is really beautiful, and I don't know how you practiced it at a young age. I heard from the gentleman in the house, you used to write quite skillfully, but now it's good, you hurt your head once, and your handwriting is more beautiful than before. ”
The one who spoke was the young man standing next to Wu Ming, he was not tall, with big eyes and a wide nose, and a white face, about fifteen years old, nearly two years older than Wu Ming, but he still called him "Uncle".
The young man's surname is Feng Jingyu, and he is the child of Wu Ming's mother's family, that is, a relative of the Wu family. Wu didn't have many playmates when he was young, he was one, and he heard that Wu Ming was injured that day, so he came to visit.
Wu Ming misses this cousin very much, when he was a child, he counted this kid and played with him the best, but unfortunately later because of the Wu family case, the Ji family was forced to move to other places, and I don't know how it happened afterward, Wu Ming did not find out a little bit about the Ji family and this cousin when he was stirring up the wind and rain in Chu State.
