Chapter 224: Wangjiang Pavilion
"Who will be an ignorant and fearless person, Cheng Xu, the Empress Dowager is also surnamed Twilight, do you think the woman of the Twilight family will be what she shows? Everyone has a mask, forge and portray a mask to cover up the truth, you just need to understand that under that mask is often the opposite, Princess Xiaoyang, I have also seen it twice in the Qiankun Palace, whether it is the argument with the Guo family, or the divorce turmoil with His Royal Highness the Prince, what I see is a calm, retreating and advancing smart woman! At the mention of Princess Xiaoyang, Wu Anhou's eyes flashed with appreciation.
Wu'an Hou has been immersed in officialdom for decades, although Princess Xiaoyang has done everything and hidden, but the recent wind and rain in Handu are all related to Princess Xiaoyang, not to mention, the Queen Mother has returned to the palace, and the first time she returned to the palace was to see Princess Xiaoyang, which is worth pondering.
"Cheng Xu understands, grandfather, Cheng Xu is good friends with Princess Xiaoyang, she is an ambitious person, an ambitious and intelligent woman, she will not just be a princess from Tang Dusk, grandfather, Cheng Xu already has a choice, this choice has nothing to do with the Hou Mansion, just Cheng Xu's willful will."
Listening to Wu Anhou's words, Wu Chengxu already had a determination in his heart, he was already in the same boat as July, since the last time Chrysanthemum Poem's bet, he has been involved with July, and now there are wolves again, between him and July, maybe there really has to be an attitude.
"Is that really the decision? The current Jin State has not yet reached that point, your decision is too early, but if you really decide, our Hou Mansion is your home, naturally it is your backing, your glory is the glory of the Hou Mansion, and your failure is naturally the failure of our Hou Mansion, my grandfather is already old, if there is anything in the future, you can discuss it with your second uncle, Chu'er, your eldest brother is unreliable, Cheng Xu can find someone to discuss, and only you are there, our Hou Mansion is both prosperous and lossy, do you clearly understand? Wu Anhou said softly.
Wu Chu and Wu Chengxu looked at each other and smiled, there was great trust between the two, compared with that father, Wu Chengxu relied on and liked Wu Chu, the second uncle, and the two were more similar in thinking, for Wu Anhou's arrangement, the uncle and nephew were very happy to accept it.
Listening to Wu Anhou's words, Wu Jiu believed even more in his heart that the Li family was blowing in his ears on weekdays, and the person his father valued in his heart was really the second child, otherwise, how could his father let Wu Chengxu discuss directly with the second child when he encountered something, but instead said that he was unreliable, and was glad that he came in with him, unexpectedly, the second child and Wu Chengxu, the two villains who were not used to seeing themselves on weekdays, would definitely say bad things about themselves at the old man.
"Dad, why am I useless, how can you let Cheng Xu go to the second brother no matter what is difficult? I'm his father-in-law, and you should look for me if you have something, and how can you say that I'm unreliable and useless? I am your eldest son, and this Hou Mansion will be handed over to me in the future! As soon as Wu Jiu panicked, he hurriedly refuted the Marquis of Wu'an, he was eager to prove that he was not a useless person.
"Quansheng, drag this rebel out for me, if you really read all those sage books into the dog's stomach, you only know women all day long, I see that you will be ruined on women sooner or later, get out of me, get out of here quickly." Wu Anhou was furious, picked up the inkstone on the desk and smashed it towards Wu Jiu's body, eager to directly smash Wu Jiu to death, lest he only know how to cause trouble, and he doesn't know it, and he always feels that he is a celestial person.
For Wu Jiu, Wu Anhou is guilty, back then, when Wu Jiu was still young, he was basically stationed on the frontier, or went into battle to fight, Wu Jiu's education, delayed, and when he noticed Wu Jiu, he had already raised crooked, looking for fun, cockfighting and monkey playing, all the behaviors of these gentlemen would not know, Wu Anhou beat and fought, and even took him to the battlefield to exercise, but there was no gain.
"Dad, Dad, you are my own father, why don't you treat me like this, I am your eldest son, do you really want to give the title to the second child, this is not in accordance with the rules, Dad, Dad, why are you! Give what belongs to me to others, even if it's the second child, I will never agree, you are too partial, you only know that you are thinking about the second child, my eldest son has no place at all! Wu Jiu ghost cried wolf howl, for the whole life, he punched and kicked, he only had one thought in his heart, he couldn't leave, if he left, they would definitely say bad things about themselves.
The more he listened to Wu Jiu's words, Wu Anhou's face became more and more blue and black, like a thick cloud covering the city, people who are familiar with him know that Wu Anhou is now in the stage of rage, and the whole life is to quickly carry Wu Jiu out of the inner room at a galloping speed.
"Grandfather, don't be angry, don't be angry, didn't you say, let me leave him alone, what are you going to do with him? Leave him alone! Wu Chengxu hurriedly offered a cup of tea and persuaded the old man to dissipate his anger, but he was even more disgusted and hated for Wu Jiu in his heart.
Wu Chu also hurriedly persuaded: "Dad, just listen to Cheng Xu's words, you don't know my eldest brother's unstinting temperament, although he is not very smart, his brain is not very good, but he has no intentions, it is estimated that this time it is the woman who blows the wind on the pillow, his ears are the softest, whoever says, whether it is good or bad, he can listen to it, this matter, or tell my mother, the things in the back house, my mother will naturally deal with it." ”
Out of sight is clear, without Wu Ji's interference, the three ancestors and grandsons quickly reached an agreement, and talked about the major affairs in the court, as well as the situation in Jin Bei, until late at night, the three of them gradually left.
"Second uncle, I'll leave first, there is still something to do tonight, let's separate here, second uncle will also go back to the yard early, second aunt is estimated to be in a hurry!" Wu Chengxu joked that he and his second uncle have always been like this, and the two get along like old friends for many years.
"It's so late, and you still have to go out? If there is anything important, you have to do it at night, I heard that there is a city building that is famous far and wide, and sons and brothers like you are singing there every night, and I can't wait to live there, so late, it won't be the things that are done are all scheduled there! ”
Wu Chu is more confused, it is already the middle of the night, Wu Chengxu has to leave the house, which makes him very uneasy, as the old man said, Wu Chengxu is now the hope of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, the night is thick, what can happen at this time, what is carried out in the dark, generally does not see the light.
"Second uncle, I won't go to the Allure Tower tonight, tomorrow, then I don't know, but the pear blossom drunk in the Allure Tower is really memorable, the Blue Moon girl dances in the city, and only the Allure Tower can see the dance and style of the Blue Moon girl in the whole rare capital, isn't the second uncle just those two? If the second uncle is afraid of the second aunt, do you want the nephew to go to the second aunt to ask for a word? Wu Chengxu said with a smile.
After Wu Chengxu finished speaking, he turned around and left, swaggering out from the main gate, leaving Wu Chu staring at Wu Chengxu's back and sighing, but his heart was hooked by the wine, and it was rumored that the wine, beauty, and dance of the Allure Tower were called the three uniques of Handu, but he had no chance to taste it, looking at Wu Chengxu's aftertaste on his face, he should have tasted the pear blossom drunk, but the one at home was too tough, otherwise, he also wanted to see it.
"This little rabbit cub, there are still things to hide from me, and he has really grown up!" Wu Chu looked at the back of Wu Chengxu leaving and muttered to himself, but there was a slight smile in his eyes.
Wu Chengxu left from the Wu'an Hou Mansion alone, dressed in black and hidden into the night, coming and going freely on the roof, a quarter of an hour of effort, his figure fell on the roof of the Wangjiang Pavilion of the Qingyue Platform, the black clothes and black hair danced in the autumn wind, and the cold moonlight gradually dyed the ink color of the dark clouds.
"You, sure enough, since you're here, come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" There was a voice in the Wangjiang Pavilion that was colder than the moonlight, familiar but unfamiliar, a little more lonely and lonely than the sometimes delicate and sometimes gentle voice I heard on weekdays.
Wu Chengxu sighed lightly, the corners of his mouth quickly returned to their usual appearance, his sudden hesitation disappeared with the voice, in the past three years, what he has done is not to pursue the Wu'an Hou Mansion further? The so-called success is sought in detail, wealth and danger, what he wants is not something that can be blown by the wind, and if he wants to get everything he wants, he must pay a certain price, such as today's choice.
"Princess Xiaoyang invited, how dare Wu Chengxu not take it to heart, but I went back to the house today, and my grandfather said a few words, delaying the time and delaying Princess Xiaoyang's time!" Wu Chengxu said softly, but he was nervous in his heart, he was waiting here in July, but he was late.
was originally a familiar person, but when he looked at Wu Chengxu in black, he looked more calm than the Tsing Yi and Bai Yi on weekdays, and his handsome face added a little sharpness, which was completely different from the previous Wu Chengxu, but like two twin brothers with different personalities.
"Wu Gongzi is more calm and mature in black, and he has a different style, I think you are more charming in black!" July's eyes stayed on Wu Chengxu's body, looked up and down and said appreciatively, and his head agreed little by little.
Wu Chengxu's face was suddenly dyed red, and his ears were red, even if he was used to seeing people who were used to wind and rain again, he couldn't stand such face-to-face teasing, and it was a man who was teased by a woman, Wu Chengxu couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.
"Princess Xiaoyang laughed, it's just a piece of clothing, what can change, Wu Chengxu is still Wu Chengxu, from beginning to end, it will not change!" Wu Chengxu hurriedly spoke, and by the way, he expressed his thoughts by the saying that the black clothes had changed into a human, and it was not bad to show his loyalty.
The two met and smiled, seeing the suspicious red behind Wu Chengxu's ears, July smiled secretly in his heart, but his heart was already set off a storm, thinking, this Wu Chengxu, at this age, but he didn't expect to be an innocent little boy, a few jokes, he blushed, it's really cute.
"Wu Gongzi is strong in martial arts, yesterday against the wolves, I can see that Wu Gongzi is a rare talent in the arrangement of troops, it's just that in the past two years, the situation of Jin Guo has gradually fallen into decline, there is the second master of the Qiao family in the north of Jin who controls the overall situation, and there are people from the Yu family in the East to guard the defense line, these two places, no matter where they are, can't stand someone meddling, if the Hou Mansion of Wu'an wants to go to the next level, it needs more and higher military exploits, then there is only the border between Tang Duan and Jin State, but Han Jiao's hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen are not vegetarians, After several defeats in a row, the situation of the Marquis of Wu'an should be very embarrassing! July said slowly, no matter what Wu Chengxu's expression was, she only cared if what she said was true.
July didn't say much about the rest of the words, no consolation, no acceptance, just a simple and pure analysis of the situation of Jin State, the situation of Wu'an Houfu, these words, should be the words that can arouse Wu Chengxu's thinking the most, Wu Chengxu is an ambitious person, he does not want Wu'an Hou Mansion has always been in a position that is not up or down, if you want to achieve greater success, the only way is to stand in line and stand in line, Jin Guo's current situation is unclear, Leng Tong is the most unlikely to ascend to that position, even if Leng Tong is now the prince, it is just a cannon fodder.
"Princess Xiaoyang can see it much more clearly than me, the situation in Jin Country is indeed time to be turbulent, but no matter how turbulent it is, there are rules, it is indeed difficult for our Wu'an Hou Mansion to come out, Jin Bei and Dongyang are other people's territory, and Tang Du is a bone that can't be gnawed, it is indeed embarrassing and headaches!" Wu Chengxu laughed self-deprecatingly and said, how could he not know the situation of the Marquis of Wu'an, if the future of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion was bright, why did he bother to look for opportunities, let alone appear in the Wangjiang Pavilion of Qingyuetai tonight.
The Wu'an Houfu era meritorious service, with military merits, but now there is no war to fight, there is no battlefield, sooner or later they will become a declining clan like the Yiyang Houfu and the Ancheng Bofu.
"It's just that the world is like this, what do I have to be transparent, it's just that I have read too many history books, and I naturally have an idea, I think, Wu Gongzi should have found a way to make Wu'an Hou's Mansion more rich, if so, Xiao Yang is really congratulate!" July said with a smile.
July looked at Wu Chengxu with a silent smile, as if he was going to see Wu Chengxu's whole person through, looking at Wu Chengxu's expression with a smile, the slightest change could not escape July's eyes, whether it was a slight frown between his eyebrows and eyes, or a slight rise in the corners of his mouth.
"Naturally, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't talk about the beautiful mountains and rivers with Princess Xiaoyang here today, Wu Chengxu admires Princess Xiaoyang in his heart, not to mention, Chengxu is still short of Princess Xiaoyang's promise, this year, Chengxu is only Princess Xiaoyang's head, a year, too many things can happen, this year, I and Princess Xiaoyang are also both prosperous and lossy, naturally, Princess Xiaoyang and I are people in the same boat, Wu Chengxu is not talented, but has his own choice, and Princess Xiaoyang is my choice Wu Chengxu, I hope I won't disappoint Princess Xiao Yang! Wu Chengxu said in a deep voice, he also wanted to use these words to see what kind of attitude July had towards him.
Wu Chengxu really used his heart, his voice crossed into July's ears, and heard July's heart, what Wu Chengxu wanted to say was exactly the decision and commitment she wanted to hear, looking at Wu Chengxu's unwavering eyes, July smiled lightly, which can only show that Wu Chengxu is too smart.
"Wu Gongzi, I have to say, you are really smart, dealing with smart people, I like it very much, but I am also very jealous, I don't know if Wu Gongzi is a person I like or I am afraid of, this answer, only Wu Gongzi can answer my doubts!"
