Chapter 185: Please
"What do you say? Replaced with ordinary green jade? ”
Wei Ren, the youngest son-in-law of the Guo family, glared at Liu Hong, even if he never liked to bully others, he couldn't wait to slap the guy in front of him to death at this time.
The green jade statue placed on the table, the same form and spirit, placed outside, just with such good craftsmanship, it is enough for people to collect a lot of money, but compared with the surrounding jade statues, it is overshadowed.
His younger brother was knocked out of his front teeth, and today he came to the door to ask for the crime, but he listened to Liu Hong explain things clearly word by word, and immediately forgot about his younger brother!
Wei Ren took a deep breath, and his face was serious: "Listen, my father-in-law has been an official for nearly sixty years, and he is loyal to His Majesty, and the statue is invited to the Heavenly Pavilion, that is an honor, it is Your Majesty's grace, and there can be no problem no matter what!" ”
Liu Hongdeng's face was bitter, and he secretly asked people to lift the white veil that was covering the original jade statue, and spread his hands: "It's not that I deliberately snub Old General Guo, let alone Da Zhou, or who in the Four Kingdoms dares to joke about the reputation of the old general, isn't this a last resort?" ”
Wei Ren saw the jade statue at a glance, and there was a whizz on his back.
Now it's even worse.
The whole jade statue turned out to be extremely feminine, but the facial features still resembled his father-in-law, for a while he was terrified, and he hurriedly lowered his head and closed his eyes, even if he looked at it, it was a blasphemy against his father-in-law, and if he looked at it again, he might not dare to meet his old man when he went home, and he would not show his flaws in a blink of an eye.
Wei Ren was furious.
He is a short-tempered person, and he loves to drink, and when he drinks, he likes to play drunk, and he is not a good person. At this time, it was even more violent.
"You, you who will be prisoners, don't want to live anymore!!"
Liu Hong didn't care about explaining, stiffened Wei Ren's foot, rushed over and hugged the jade statue desperately, the jade statue was almost half a person high, very heavy, and ordinary two or three strong men had to be careful to lift it, but Liu Hong really took the thing down and put it on the table steadily, which showed that he was really in a hurry. It also shows that the great eunuch who will be the prisoner should not be underestimated.
"Wei Ye is angry!"
Liu Hong made a bitter face and moved out of the way.
The anger on Wei Ren's face had not subsided. The foot was raised, and because of inertia, he staggered back - the jade statue could not be better from any point of view.
But he wasn't happy in the slightest. Instead, I felt cold in my heart. Pluck the cool.
"Do you want me to go to the national teacher?"
Wei Ren was speechless.
The corners of Liu Hong's mouth moved. I didn't dare to nod my head in the end.
Actually, many people don't know that the national teacher and the old man of the Guo family. I have been old and dead for many years, and I seem to have old grudges.
As for what kind of grievance it is, outsiders don't know, and the two have never mentioned it, and even most people don't know that there is such a thing.
After all, the national teacher is a cultivator, and his identity is not involved in the world, but General Guo is a worldly, and he is famous for his good popularity.
When Mr. Guo leads the troops to fight, he may have to deal with the national teacher, but the national teacher is only responsible for divination, predicting the time of the day, and the specific problems of marching and fighting.
But Wei Ren is half of the Guo family, not a rich, better than a rich, his father-in-law really treats his son-in-law as a half-son, compared to his son, he loves his daughter more, although he doesn't know the specific situation, but the old man is not interested in the national teacher, he is still quite clear.
He wondered in his heart, and he also felt that his old man was probably the temperament of an old child, and the national teacher had always been polite when he met on weekdays, and he treated his father-in-law with great respect, but it didn't look like he had any grievances.
Wei Ren protects his shortcomings, even so, he listens to his father-in-law's words more, and he is really not happy to deal with the national teacher, but now he can't hold back on this matter.
Liu Hong sighed: "After the accident, the county lord of Rong'an came to see it, and he found that the jade was inappropriate at a glance. ”
He carefully told Wei Ren what Hongchen said.
"There is nothing wrong with the carving of this green jade statue, the time is a little too late, besides, that batch of jade materials has also been consumed, even if there is still time, where can I find suitable jade materials?"
Wei Ren rolled his eyes, this old boy said it simply!
The green jade statue, regardless of the material, is not a magic weapon, has no aura, and is a useless dead thing when placed there.
Other people's statues are properly placed, and His Majesty personally leads hundreds of civil and military officials to come in to reward loyal ministers and good generals, and commend them for their great contributions to the community, it is a very complicated ceremony, the ceremony is completed, the good fortune continues, and it benefits future generations, only their Guo family does not have such a bonus effect, how can it be fair?
"Then you can't persuade Your Majesty to reschedule and carve a whole batch of jade statues again, right?"
Liu Hong was almost sad to death.
Wei Ren is not stupid, although he wants to, but he also knows that it is impossible.
No matter how powerful the Guo family is in the Great Zhou, no matter how much they can influence the emperor, they can't say this kind of thing, and besides, his father-in-law won't say this.
After groaning, Wei Ren gritted his teeth: "It's a big deal, really go and ask the national teacher, first find a group of spirit masters to see the situation." ”
"Hey, Master Wei should go and consult the Lord of Rong'an again, among the spirit masters in the capital, the Lord of Rong'an is definitely the number one, and his strength is above most of the spirit masters."
The palace is well-informed, and Liu Hong's words are still very effective.
Wei Ren blinked, also a little hesitant.
“…… She hit my second brother. And casually asked me to replace my father-in-law's jade statue with such an ordinary ...... Forget it, find someone else first. ”
The corners of Liu Hong's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.
He had already revealed to this Wei Ye why he was beaten, but this one was also stubborn, he felt that his brother was a good person and kind-hearted, but he was a little naughty, so he didn't believe in his brother's bad words.
Liu Hong is not surnamed Wei, so he doesn't care how people raise his younger brother, so why bother!
And what Wei Ye said was not bad, the county lord didn't seem to want to pay attention to this matter, and she was not the only spiritual master in the capital.
Wei Ren figured it out, gritted his teeth and hurriedly left.
That night, Xue Baiqiao didn't know where to find out what was happening in the palace. Sneak up on Hongchen to listen to the gossip.
Hongchen was speechless.
"Could it be that these words are all fake?"
Something happened to the Jade Statue of Inviting Heaven Pavilion, it was obviously a hidden secret, how could it seem that everyone knew it in the blink of an eye.
Xue Baiqiao said with a grin: "This is called bullying and not concealing it, the things in the palace, where is the secret, to tell the truth, long live the lord who eats a bite less one day, it will make people analyze one, two, three, four, and laugh a few times in which Niangniang Palace, and the ladies in the palace will know it in the blink of an eye." Something in the palace. No one can hide it from those who should know. ”
As for whether it can be hidden from the emperor, no one knows, maybe it can be hidden, maybe it can't be hidden. But Banzai pretended to be hidden. It is said that he is neither deaf nor dumb, nor is he a family. But when you are an emperor, sometimes you have to learn to pretend to be confused, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
"The cheap son-in-law of the Guo family in the past two days. I found several spirit masters to enter the palace, and I heard that a solution has been found, which is to re-open the jade statue, and open it in the Inviting Heaven Pavilion, and then generate an aura, and naturally integrate with the Inviting Heaven Pavilion, even if other jade statues have a little repulsive power, it will not hurt. ”
"That's the right idea."
Hongchen smiled, nodded, and admired slightly, "The hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the capital, the spirit masters are all extraordinary. ”
Xue Baiqiao rolled his eyes: "You still praise it, this is bad for your reputation, okay!" ”
Many people know that Hongchen is very passive to let the jade statue change, if other spirit masters can easily solve the problem, then Hongchen's reputation will indeed be overshadowed.
In Xue Baiqiao's heart, Hongchen is the first spirit master, the second is the county lord, the county lord is virtual, the identity of the spirit master is her biggest reliance, this one thing, of course, it is impossible to let her fall into the dust all at once, but the spirit master is the industry that needs to be trusted the most, and if there is a mistake, the trust of others in you will be reduced by a few points.
Anyway, Xue Baiqiao was very anxious.
He was in a hurry, but Hongchen was not in a hurry at all: "If they can succeed, then everyone will be happy, but well!" ”
Hongchen shook his head, pursed his lips and stopped talking, so angry that Xue Xiaohou Ye blew his beard and glared: "How can you say half of what you say?" Can't they succeed? But those spirit masters are not mediocre people, recently, the world's famous spirit masters have gathered in the capital, with the ability of the Guo family, invite one or two masters into the palace, it is easy! ”
"Well, let's wait and see, maybe they have a way."
Hongchen still didn't care, and understated it.
Xue Baiqiao pounced, lay on the table, took a deep breath, and decided not to meddle in the future, isn't this the emperor not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry to die?
Buried and buried, Xue Baiqiao still stayed to eat at noon.
He saw it yesterday, and there was a little lamb on the county lord's mansion, which was sliced into a transparent thin slice and boiled with a soup base.
The unique spices of the county lord's mansion are numb and spicy, and you can eat two bites in winter, which is transparent and appetizing.
Coupled with those vegetables and fruits, even in the Hou Mansion, he was embarrassed to enjoy too much, after all, the Hou Mansion will be his eldest brother in charge in the future, and his sister-in-law is here, it is too luxurious, the eldest brother doesn't mind, and it is not very good-looking.
Now he is not married, let alone divided, in the case of the eldest brother in the family has been married, and he has been set up as the son, he always has to be careful and careful, he never paid attention to it before, he looks very chic, and others praise him for being cool, but now that he has grown up and matured, he must know something.
Although his family will never be short of money, and the dignified mansion is enough to feed future generations for a few lifetimes, it is not good for him to treat the money in the public as his own random spending.
Hongchen couldn't figure out this little bit of caution, I really wanted to know, I was afraid that I would be angry - oh, it turned out that the family's money was not spent indiscriminately, but in the county lord's mansion, that is, even eating and drinking, no need to be polite!
It's just to satisfy the appetite and hypocrisy.
As soon as the rice was served, the hot soup pot was not yet boiling, and someone outside came to report that someone from the Xinyang Palace.
General Guo gave him the title of king, which is the king of Xinyang.
"It's the eighth son-in-law of the Guo family, General Wei Renwei."
"Poof!"
Xue Baiqiao squirted, blinked, calmly wiped the stain off, wiped his face and smiled bitterly.
Since Wei Ren came to the door, it must be that the matter of Inviting Heaven Pavilion has not been resolved.
Xue Baiqiao breathed a sigh of relief, and his face showed a bit of joy.
It's not that he is not kind, but he still thinks it's very good, people are close and close, and he naturally values the reputation of his friends more than the Guo family.
If his friends didn't solve it, he naturally didn't want to see others solve it.
"Still. Although the matter of Inviting Heaven Pavilion is evil, who are you, Hongchen? If there is a way, show him a hand, so as to show his ability, don't let people look down on him. ”
Hongchen gave him the entire mandarin duck pot, got up and went to the living room to meet guests.
As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Wei Ren looking at a cold and snow fishing picture hanging on the wall, which was painted by Mr. Zou and Hongchen. Xue Baiqiao came to see it. tried his best to cheat things, and even borrowed them for his mother's birthday gift.
Hongchen is not reluctant to give, but this kid's excuses are varied and very interesting. Lin Xu was also happy when he heard it. Just pinch him. so that he can scratch his ears and cheeks and use his brain more.
The little marquis doesn't like vassals and elegance so much, and he can't love them so much. Those who know how to see it are naturally fascinated.
Looking at Wei Ren's posture, it is really the same as the rumors.
It is rumored that the Guo family has seven sons and eight sons-in-law, but the eighth son-in-law resembles the old prince, who is also both civil and military, both civil and military, and has been honing for some time, and may be a peerless figure who will enter the phase.
Of course, these praises are just for the sake of General Guo's face.
The Guo family is so far, full of flowers, but the future of future generations is afraid that it will not surpass the old prince Guo.
After all, there is only one Guo Yin in the world.
"Ahem."
Luo Niang followed behind and coughed twice.
As soon as Wei Ren turned around and saw Hongchen, he found that she had offended her twice, her face changed suddenly, blue and white, and it took a while to pretend that there was no previous conflict at all, return to normal, move over to salute, and sit down with the guest and host.
"Why does General Wei have time to come to me? I heard Xue Xiaohou Ye mention, didn't you invite a few spirit masters into the palace, and you have already found a solution, you should be busy at this time. ”
When Wei Ren heard this, his face turned red, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he held a shelf on his face, hesitated, and said softly: "After thinking about it, since it is the queen mother who asked the county lord to invite the heavenly pavilion to investigate, she should always inform the county lord, otherwise it will be too rude." ”
Hongchen smiled: "It's okay for me, even if you ask other spirit masters to deal with it, you don't need to worry about me at all, as for Niangniang, General Wei doesn't have to worry about it, she is an old man, maybe she has forgotten about it now." ”
Wei Ren was stunned and speechless.
Hongchen smiled again: "However, the general should deal with it quickly, and it won't sound good after all." ”
The Invitation Heaven Pavilion was built to worship the loyal ministers and good generals, and the jade statues of others were all good, but the old man Guo had an accident - this does not show that the loyalty of the old general Guo is too false, and the heavens have eyes, thinking that he should not occupy the seat of the Invite Heaven Pavilion.
There will always be people with dark minds or ulterior motives who make a fuss about it, and they dare not say anything on the surface, and they will also talk nonsense in secret.
Even the Guo family, when they encounter such a thing, it is probably not easy to turn a blind eye.
Wei Ren's face changed greatly, how could he not know!
As soon as he learned the specific situation that day, he asked him to find a few spiritual masters.
They are all famous figures in the capital.
However, most of them entered the Invitation Heaven Pavilion, they were so frightened that their feet were weak, and they slipped away with excuses, Wei Ren was so angry, he really didn't expect that as a spirit master, there would be such a lack of responsibility, but he didn't know that the more famous the spirit master, the more stingy he was with his feathers, and when he saw that things were not easy to solve, it was most normal to dodge, which was called self-knowledge.
As for one of the spirit masters named Qu Wu, he was indifferent and silent, and when he saw that others only cared about shirking, he casually broke through the matter, and also said that the jade used by the statue and the surrounding jade aura conflicted, probably because of different origins, and there was no difference from what Liu Hong said, and he also said that if he had to use this jade statue, he could only reopen it.
Wei Ren was very happy at that time.
As long as you can safely let the statue of your father-in-law settle in the Invitation Heaven Pavilion, it doesn't hurt anything.
The movement of Kaiguang is very big, so it doesn't hurt, don't look at it in the palace, it's not very convenient for others to do this, after all, Da Zhou also taboos witchcraft, and does magic for no reason, and always has to attract the taboos above, but with his connections, it is not too difficult.
Wei Ren did everything he could to help Qu Wu prepare everything, and watched Qu Wu consecrate the statue in the Inviting Heaven Pavilion......
At the beginning, there were really signs of success, the statue shook violently, the appearance changed, and it recovered little by little, but I didn't expect that the moment before the success, it suddenly rolled down, and all the previous efforts were lost.
Even the center of the jade statue's eyebrows had an extra crack.
Wei Ren almost wanted to cry without tears.
There are cracks, even if they are not noticeable. But this jade statue can't be used at all, only the last one is left, if something goes wrong again, he really has to be prepared, and their Guo family will be embarrassed for hundreds of years, or even longer.
Thinking of this, Wei Ren's face changed, he stood up and slammed it to the ground, not daring to hide it anymore, and told the cause and effect in a hesitant manner. Only then pleaded again: "County Lord." The jade statue has never been successfully placed, and Wei really can't do anything, and he hopes that the county lord will help. ”
Hongchen raised his eyebrows: "Qu Lingshi didn't succeed either?" I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to intervene, wouldn't it be a loss of face for other people's Qu Wu! ”
Wei Ren remembered it. Find another spirit master to intervene yourself. There is also the meaning of paying the county lord of the Tai family. can only smile bitterly, begging hard, and no longer have the lofty atmosphere at the beginning.
Luo Niang, they were all amused. Hongchen nodded in response, but not now, when he was eating.
Wei Ren was in a hurry, he was begging for someone now, and he didn't dare to force Hongchen, so he had to say goodbye honestly, but he turned around and sent a bunch of gifts, including the 'full bed wat' that he bullied other hawkers and didn't let people sell at the beginning.
Xue Baiqiao: "......"
He now understands that the county lord of Rong'an belongs to the legendary person with great luck, and what happened to her, bad things can also become good things, but if he offends her, he will have to return it one day.
Once again, I came to the Invitation Pavilion.
Ascending to the third floor and seeing that jade statue, Hongchen couldn't help frowning.
Wei Ren's eyes were red, his eyes were black, he had not slept for two days and nights, and the corners of his eyes did not dare to fall.
During this time, the jade statue has undergone even greater changes, becoming a little childlike, with a strange and terrifying face, and it actually reflects the entire floor in an eerie manner.
Liu Hong's eunuchs who were going to be prisoners were going crazy.
No matter how bad this is, they are desperately punished, and they have to replace the jade statue with an ordinary green jade statue, so that the Long Live Lord is dissatisfied, it is better than letting the Long Live Lord be frightened when he sees this scene, if they really dare to scare the emperor, they have to be cut by a thousand knives.
"Lord Rong'an, let's see if you can open the light or something, so let it recover."
Wei Ren's face turned blue and he said softly.
Hongchen glanced at him and shook his head: "I don't do this kind of thing, if I open the light for the jade statue alone, it is true that it can return to normal, but under the backlash of the aura, other jade statues may have problems, and we can't make all the jade statues unpeaceful for this one." ”
Seeing that Wei Ren's face was confused, Hongchen said: "Invite Heaven Pavilion is a built house, and the jade statue here is the person who lives here, if someone is inexplicable and doesn't say hello, just change the feng shui of the house to adapt to another outsider, you say, can they be happy?" ”
The corners of Wei Ren's mouth moved, and after all, he couldn't say what I didn't care about others.
Those who can be invited to the Heavenly Pavilion must be important ministers, whether they are deceased or still alive, they have children and grandchildren, he has worked hard for his father-in-law, and the descendants of others will not be willing to be wronged by their own parents.
But...... The corners of Wei Ren's mouth moved, and he smiled bitterly: "Can't you really have the best of both worlds?" In fact, consecrating my father-in-law's jade statue will not necessarily affect others, they have all made great contributions to my Great Zhou, and they are both officials, maybe they have a good relationship, can you understand? ”
When he said this, he was quite relieved, and before Hongchen could speak, he saw a sound of footsteps below.
When the two turned around, they saw Wei Ren's two hundred and five younger brother Wei Yi leading the way with a courteous face, and Qu Wu was behind him.
As soon as Wei Yi came up and saw Hongchen, he was immediately angry, felt a pain in his lower abdomen, and shouted angrily: "You, you still dare to appear?" I, I ......"
Wei Ren suddenly had a headache, and hurriedly interrupted: "Second brother, don't mess around, it's very hard for my brother, so I invited someone to help, this is the county lord of Rong'an!" ”
"Return the county lord, brother, you must have been deceived, it wasn't what you said, she still wants to buy that messy object from the stall, it must be which palace slave in the palace ran out to play without permission, and now you dare to cheat on such a big matter, brother, if you really believe her, then you will be unlucky!"
Wei Er's face was hideous.
The more this guy talks, the more unseemly it becomes.
The corners of Wei Ren's mouth twitched, and he became angry: "The second master's illness is not good, why did he come out, come on, help him down to rest." ”
Immediately, there were two little guys, covering their mouths and pulling their arms, and they forcibly wanted to drag people away, even if Wei Yi's eyes were red with anger, and his brother looked like he was blowing his beard and staring at him to eat him, he didn't dare to mess around with his eldest brother, but he was even more angry at Hongchen, and roared angrily: "What are you!" Tell you, I invited Master Qu Wuqu to come, the master was born in a famous family, and you cheated in front of her old man, you are impatient! ”
Wei Ren was furious.
The two little guys were ruthless and ran out with the second master hostage. (To be continued.) )
