Chapter 272: Guests

A picture scroll unfolds on the desk.

Wang Fang squinted for a while, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

The painting is a good painting, the Tang Dynasty Zhou Fang's "Hairpin Lady" is genuine, the brush is light and soft, evenly and peaceful...... It would have been a valuable gift.

It's a pity that this gift is not easy to give out now.

Wang Fang used to regard Wang Xiao as a friend. Several pre-imperial interrogations were also thanks to the blessing of this quasi-concubine, who only became the governor of the East Factory, and later survived.

At that time, Wang Fang prepared this gift and only waited for Wang Xiao to give it when he got married.

Unexpectedly, things are not people.

At that time, after Qiu Pengcheng went to the Wen family to extort bamboo poles, the noble forces behind the Wen family began to suppress Dongchang, forcing Wang Fang to breathe. Helpless, he had no choice but to summon Wang Xiao out.

In fact, it was Wang Xiao who told the Wen family about the black state, and he told the truth.

This is a helpless move, Wang Fang thinks he has a clear conscience, but he still has an estrangement from Wang Xiao in his heart.

The initial apology slowly fermented in Wang Fang's heart, but in the end it turned into resentment.

Until now, the two have not met. But he didn't know how many times he had scolded the king in his heart.

"It's you who want to provoke the Wen family, and our family is also forced to do so. It's better for you to bypass the East Factory and directly instigate Your Majesty's new Jinyi Guard, this is what you want to break with our family! ”

"Zhang Yongnian? Why did he go to the copyist? If it were our family, we would have killed Qiu Pengcheng as well...... If you have new friends, you forget the old people, and our family still thinks that you are a good person, but it turns out that you also look down on eunuchs. ”

"You can get the money out, but why don't you come to cooperate with our family?"

"More than five million taels?! You always have a million taels for yourself, right? Such a big benefit will let Zhang Yongnian's stupid man get wet? You are honest and want to kill our family......"

Grievances are grievances, but Wang Fang also knows that if today passes, pull down his face and talk to Wang Xiao, maybe he can still get back together.

Isn't this the case with civil servants, if it is advantageous, it will gather, and if it is not profitable, it will be dispersed.

Now the East Factory and Jinyi Wei are mutually beneficial.

Thinking so, he reached out and rolled up the "Hairpin Lady".

Only halfway through the volume, Wang Fang suddenly thought again: "What if Wang Xiao doesn't give himself face?" ”

I, the big companion by the side of the Son of Heaven, really want to tie up a hairy boy?

Then in his mind, he thought of the scene where Wang Xiao ridiculed himself fiercely.

In a flash, Wang Fang put down the scroll in his hand.

"Our family is a eunuch, unlike the shameless civil officials. Since people can't share the same path, then they go their separate ways! What does it mean to be hypocritical? ”

The sensitive-minded old eunuch muttered to himself, but the resentment against Wang Xiao in his heart slowly turned into hatred.

Jin Yiwei is amazing? Dongchang may not be afraid of you......

-------------------------------------

Wang Xiao's wedding banquet was grand and grand, but it was not very jubilant.

Relatives and friends are placed on the Wang family's side, and the banquet in the princess's mansion has a businesslike taste.

More than 100 princes and wives in the back hall were entertained by Tao Wenjun, and there were mostly some royal relatives and officials of the Ministry of Rites in front of them.

It's not so much a wedding drink, but a meal together after a few days.

Wang Xiao walked in the banquet with a wine glass, looking at the gorgeously dressed princes and nobles and royal clansmen, and felt quite interesting in his heart.

Who's home you want to raid in the future, just pull out today's guest list and point it at will.

From today on, everyone is a relative, and we want to share the worries of your majesty together, no, for your father......

"What are you thinking about the pony smiling so happily?" Someone came up to him and asked Wang Xiao in a loud voice.

Wang Xiaoding looked at it, but it was Jianing Boxue Gaoxian.

Xue Gaoxian didn't wait for Wang Xiao to answer, and laughed again: "Presumably because the concubine is too satisfied with this marriage." Speaking of which, you can still match a little princess like Chunning, or my matchmaker, don't forget me as a big matchmaker in the future. Haha, come, call uncle. ”

I don't know whether this is true or false, in short, he is full of smiles with the intention of drinking, and Wang Xiao can only let him take advantage of this in vain.

"Uncle."

"Yes, good boy." Xue Gaoxian said: "In the future, you will often come to my house to sit." ”

"Okay, okay." Wang Xiao replied casually.

"Hey, why didn't Wang Fang come?" Xue Gaoxian looked around and laughed loudly: "Haha, at that time, our brothers and sons were impeached together hahaha, and the civil officials framed us for accepting your Wang family's silver...... That imperial history is called Luo Yuan, right? It's not that Jinyiwei took ......"

These words were quite loud, and many people lowered their heads and smiled secretly.

The queen's younger brother still can't get on the stage, and people have just started to run on the first day of marriage, which can only show that the prince's party has little confidence.

But the words are good, Wang Fang didn't come today, obviously because she was at odds with Wang Xiao......

~~

Xue Gaoxian knew that those nobles in the four places were laughing at him.

It's just because the queen family is not as deep-rooted as them, and these nobles only regard the Xue family as nouveau riche.

But it doesn't matter if you're laughed at a few times. Let's see, when the crown prince ascends the throne, see who is more powerful.

In comparison, what is even more annoying is this Wang Xiao.

Originally, he received a large sum of money from the Wang family and chose a dementia for Concubine Xu's daughter as a concubine, which was a great thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Unexpectedly, this dementia actually opened his mind, and he also pleased His Majesty, and secretly jumped up and down.

This thing is ...... It's like I'm a money-hungry idiot.

Because of these things, I can't count how many times I have been scolded by my sister......

~~

Wang Xiao glanced at Xue Gaoxian deeply, and said with a smile: "Uncle is right, I will definitely go to Jianingbo Mansion often in the future." ”

"Come often, come often." Xue Gaoxian smiled more and more heartily, and said with the intention of drinking: "In the future, you will also be a relative of the emperor, and the affairs of civil officials should be less involved." You see, Lu Cifu didn't come today, which is 'clear and clear'. Haha, I'm a rough person, maybe the idiom is wrong, but the words are not rough......"

"Where, where is it, my uncle has embroidery on his belly." Wang Xiao's expression seemed a little helpless, and he said like a reminder: "I have been helping to count the Wen family's property recently. When the inventory is done here, I will definitely go to my uncle's house to ask for advice. ”

The smile on Xue Gaoxian's face lost that vividness.

Wang Xiao said it twice, and it wasn't until the second time that Xue Gaoxian understood the meaning of that sentence - "I'll bring someone to raid your house next time." ”

The second time, Wang Xiao also expressed this meaning more obviously very thoughtfully, and even seemed to have a mocking expression - why can't you understand me.

Xue Gaoxian was not frightened by this threat, his position with Wang Xiao was destined to be undying opponents of each other.

However, it is indeed a shame.

He vaguely heard someone laughing.

This thing is ...... It's like I'm an idiot who has just mixed up with officialdom......

~~

Wang Xiao no longer paid attention to Xue Gaoxian, who had a stiff smile, and saluted again with the cup.

Just as he was about to slip away from the seat, he saw Qin Xuance occupying a table and sitting there drinking alcohol.

"Why are you here?" Wang Xiao walked over.

Today is also Zuo Mingjing's marriage, and he has already said that he will let Qin Xuance stay there and join in the fun, and he doesn't have to come over again.

Qin Xuance frowned and said, "I'm angry. ”

"Oh."

Wang Xiao glanced at Qin Xuance.

Could this kid be unhappy because Zuo Mingjing got married?

Qin Xuance looked up and knew what he was thinking when he saw Wang Xiao's contemptuous eyes, so he looked down on Wang Xiao in turn and snorted: "The heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman." ”

"You know I'm saving you again?" Wang smiled: "Say, what's wrong?" ”

"It's not He Liangyuan's eldest grandson, He Kangming." Qin Xuance frowned, quite unhappy.

"What? Bad character? ”

Qin Xuance shook his head and said, "Originally, I thought that he was not bad looking, and his personality was also quiet, so I was quite happy for Sister Mingjing." ”

He said, sighed, and said with some regret: "In terms of talent and appearance, He Kangming probably only loses to you and me." ”

Wang Xiao glanced at Qin Xuance.

Qin Xuance really thought so, and said: "Today, after sending my relatives from Zuofu to Hefu, I want to go to the kitchen to see what is delicious at the dinner......
