"There's no hurry about this, you and I can go in and sit down and have a cup of tea."

After Wang Lanling explained the matter, he took the initiative to invite Hu Wangxiang to drink tea in Zhao's mansion together.

Hu Wangxiang didn't want to be so troublesome, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I'll go do things now, and inquire about the delicacies you want as soon as possible." ”

Seeing Hu Wangxiang's resignation, Wang Lanling directly reached out and grabbed the other party's arm.

"Don't shirk, come with me, this is my wife's maiden home, I will come over often in the future, you can come here to talk when it is inconvenient for you to find me in the future."

"This is a big family, and the people inside stand tall, and it is inevitable that they will look down on people and make it difficult to call a few times, and I will take you in, everything is difficult at the beginning."

Wang Lanling is a delicate person, considering Hu Wangxiang's background, he still took care of some.

Hu Wangxiang was pulled forward by Wang Lanling, Wang Lanling's strength was not great, Hu Wangxiang could break free at any time, but normal people would not refuse this kind of kindness.

"Your Excellency...... I see, I'm right behind you. Hu Wangxiang's face was a little red, and he was very embarrassed.

is not mainly because of being pulled by Wang Lanling, but also because of the words Wang Lanling said, and Hu Wangxiang himself has an inferiority complex for these big families.

Wang Lanling didn't let go, looked at the door of the Zhao family's mansion that was getting closer and closer, and said sternly: "Raise your head and walk!" You didn't go in as a thief, you didn't get caught, walk beside me, and go in with me in dignity! ”

Hu Wangxiang was very cramped, and after being dragged to Wang Lanling's side, he could only look at the front nervously and follow Wang Lanling's steps.

The threshold of the Zhao family is very high, and the gate is also very expensive, especially on both sides of the steps outside the gate, there is a stone platform on each side, and a large umbrella stands inside, and under the umbrella stands a soldier with a spear on his back.

The two soldiers standing guard saw Hu Wangxiang and Wang Lanling from a distance.

The two of them just watched, and continued to stand guard motionless, and neither of them reacted.

Wang Lanling entered directly in front of the gate, and walked up the steps with Hu Wangxiang, approaching the red gate.

Outside the gate there is a close house, inside there is no door, but there are windows.

This is the place where the gatekeeper watches the door, and after seeing Wang Lanling come back, the door slowly opens from the inside.

"Uncle, you're back!"

After the housekeeper saw Wang Lanling, he greeted him happily.

Wang Lanling nodded, "Well, I just finished the meeting." ”

After saying something casually, Wang Lanling continued to walk inside.

Hu Wangxiang didn't know what to say, so he quickly followed.

After the two walked out more than ten meters away, Hu Wangxiang whispered: "My lord, what else do you have to do later?" ”

"It's nothing, when you come in, those people know you, there are some things you have to understand, it's not just you who are working hard, others are the same, come with me for a cup of tea and then go."

Wang Lanling lacks trustworthy civil officials around him, so if he wants to train a few people, Hu Wangxiang belongs to the one with the best qualifications.

"Yes!" Hu Wangxiang agreed, this was the first time he entered such a large family's house, and exclaimed: "This place is more beautiful than a garden!" ”

Wang Lanling didn't have any idea about this, and continued to walk forward.

Hu Wangxiang still couldn't help but speak to relieve the tension in his heart, "My lord, my sister, they didn't cause you trouble, right?" ”

Speaking of the children of the Hu family, Wang Lanling said with emotion: "No, they are all very powerful, your younger brothers and sisters eat and live in my house, usually go to the camp to do some things, and go home at night to study with me, my family is teaching us to study, they are all very smart." ”

Several members of the Hu family have problems with their genes or their growth environment.

It's not wrong to say it's genetic, but it's more about the environment in which you grew up.

"Hu Guiqiao is now studying under me, I have a person named Liu Fufeng under me, who is responsible for various affairs in the battalion, and is considered a deputy-level figure, your brother is cautious and silent, and he is a piece of material, but whether it can be of great use depends on his performance in a few years, and whether the current young man's heart can be maintained."

Hu Wangxiang heard that his younger brother was so valued, and quickly said: "Thank you for your love, my younger brother is usually relatively dull, except for his younger sister in the family, the two younger brothers are dull and honest, if there is a mistake, the adult will beat and scold at will." ”

Wang Lanling said: "It's not that serious, your mother is a sensible person, and she cares more about your growth than me." ”

Hu Wangxiang was about to speak, when he heard footsteps, so he looked ahead.

After a few seconds, five women in skirts and long hair walked around the corner from the flower window on the side of the wall, and when they turned the corner, they faced Wang Lanling's side.

The leader was Zhao Wenjian's wife Liu, and when Liu saw Wang Lanling, he smiled and said, "Little official, you're back." ”

At present, Wang Lanling and Zhao Wenrou are not married, so they are called casually.

Wang Lanling nodded and said, "I just came back, and the county guard asked me to stay in the city for two more days, and I will be bothered again." ”

"If this is the case, treat it as your own home." Liu Shi said politely, and then said to the sisters beside him: "This little official is Wang Lanling of Heishui County, these little officials, these are my friends, we are talking about the poetry meeting, tomorrow there will be a poetry meeting in Zhangjiayuan, you can also go with us." ”

Wozh! Lord Wang really didn't want to go.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Lanling quickly said curiously: "How many times has this poetry meeting been held?" ”

Liu recalled for a moment and said, "It's been about 20 years, once or twice a month." ”

Wang Lanling showed a thoughtful look, "Then have there been any poems left over the years?" ”

Liu Shi was immediately stuck, "This ......"

Wang Lanling suddenly became less afraid of these poetry meetings, and without any external interference, he overcame a demon in his heart, and felt that his realm and ideological consciousness had been sublimated again, and he had many epiphanies.

Yes, there are many people in the world who are drinking and eating bags, and when they show off their superiority that you can't climb, they also expose some of their own essence.

Mom bag! Aren't these poetry meetings just small circle gatherings? Do you really think I don't know?

Wang Lanling never participates in any circles, but only generates circles by himself.

has been an official for a few months, and now Heishui County is Wang Lanling's small circle, and the people and things related to Wang Lanling are constantly expanding outward.

Yunshui County does not have Wang Lanling's influence here, but Wang Lanling knows very well that the existence of these small circles is inevitable, but their exclusion from the outside world is also an objective thing, and they will not change their essence because they take the initiative to be kind to one or two people.

"I've been busy with official business for the past two days, and I've been out of company." Wang Lanling said politely.

Liu naturally wouldn't stop it, nodded and said, "That's it, let's go first." ”

Wang Lanling watched Liu and several other women leave, and these women also secretly looked at Wang Lanling, but Wang Lanling's face was like an ancient well, calm and waveless.

"People are like that, when you don't feel embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed." Wang Lanling turned around and continued to walk forward, "Those few people also remember you, so when they recognize you in the future, don't hold back, otherwise they will definitely look down on you!" ”

"Don't always feel that we have offended others, how to apologize and ease, there is no need for that. Some people will only be dissatisfied and say something weird, and if you look at her directly, she will know what she looks like and know to shut up. ”

"Upright, open-minded, they are the ones who should leave."

Wang Lanling is not talking about the Liu family, but the people behind the Liu family.

Hu Wangxiang said solemnly: "I understand! ”

"You don't understand." Wang Lanling shook his head.

Hu Wangxiang was still very confused at first, but after seeing Zhao Wenrou come out while drinking tea, he understood.

Hu Wangxiang understands this time, those people are afraid of the Zhao family!

"My lord, I understand now!"
