In the city of Luoyang, Tianyi wine shop.

This is a restaurant, a three-storey wooden building, whether it is a meal or a fine wine, it is a first-class in Luoyang, and the geographical location is outside the street of the main gate of Nangong, and the natural guests are like clouds, and it is very lively, even if many dignitaries and nobles, when they are going up and down, they will have a drink here.

"Brother Bo Jiao, please!"

In the famous room of the Accord, the bamboo mat is spread on the ground, the bead curtain hangs on all sides, a desk, delicacies and wines, one after another, Mu Jing knelt and sat in front of him, holding a glass of wine, and said to the young man in front of him.

"Please!"

Wei Qi's expression was a little reluctant, but the wine cup in his hand was still empty.

After three rounds of drinking, the two began to talk.

"Brother Bo seems to be very restrained?" Mu Jing smiled slightly and said.

"Coveting a white dress, I have always paid little attention to the affairs of the court, and today I suddenly have a banquet for the famous prince of Minghou in Luoyang, I am a little flattered in my heart, please forgive me!" Wei Qi has taken over as the head of the Wei family in Hedong for several years, although he is not very old, he can see a lot of knowledge, so naturally he is not nervous, but more apprehensive.

Hedong Wei family, since the queen Wei Zifu, the famous general Wei Qing and based in Hedong, ups and downs for hundreds of years, one of the best in the Guanzhong family, and the best among the corporal families in the world.

But since the death of his father, his uncles have no income, and they have gradually lost the scenery of the first family in Hedong, and now there is a tendency of sunset.

Presumably, for the Mu clan who is in power to the court and is in charge of the world alone, just like the brilliant sun, the Wei family may only have one reputation left.

At this time, the young master of the Mu family, the prince of the Ming Hou of the famous court, suddenly invited himself to a banquet of the head of the family who was about to decline, no matter how you look at it, it was a Hongmen banquet, but he couldn't come to this banquet.

This face, he must give, and now your Wei clan cannot afford to offend the Mu family.

"I once admired the Wei family, how brave the Wei general was back then, killing foreign races with rivers of blood, defending the peace of my Han family, but unfortunately, today's Wei family, only a group of Confucian children are left!" Mu Jing's voice was quite regrettable.

When Wei Qi heard this, he felt a slight pain in his heart, and looked at Mu Jing's eyes for three points, but soon he returned to normal, and said with a smile: "The ability of the ancestors, we are not filial descendants, we can't comprehend one or two, I'm really ashamed!" ”

"Good heart, good forbearance!"

Mu Jing squinted, looked at Wei Qian carefully, and said secretly in his heart: "Although there is a narrow method in the family, it is worthy of leading the world, although it is harsh externally, it can be said that the cultivation of the children of the family can be said to spare no effort, the children of the clan, how can there be no talent, Wei Qian is not as famous as Wei Zhongdao, but he can become the head of the Wei family, it is not because he is the eldest son, this person is tenacious, if he shows his fangs in the future, it will be feared!" ”

There is no shortage of talented people in the world.

But people who can be tough to this point in their hearts are very good.

He found that he had underestimated this depressed Wei family head a little.

"I heard that Bo was recommended by Hedong Confucianism in the past years, and he was once the main book of Shi'anyi County, but it was only three months, and he returned home, what is the reason?" Mu Jing asked.

Mu Jing naturally wanted to talk to him, how could he not be able to tell his details.

Everything about Wei Qi was in his mind.

"There are few talents and weak strength, and they are not worthy of the post of the chief bookkeeper in the county." Wei Qi replied calmly: "So Qian resigned from his official position and studied books in the mansion with peace of mind!" ”

"Really?"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "I have said something like this before, I don't know if it's true or not, it is rumored that Hedong Confucian, the younger brother of Wei Shen, the former head of the Wei family, Wei Zhan, who is angry in Wei's spirit, is forty out of fifty this year, but in Hedong County, the fame is extraordinary, the virtuous and talented generation, and in the Wei family, it can affect the existence of the older generation, but unfortunately he prefers Wei Zhongdao, and thinks that this Wei family should be under the leadership of Wei Zhongdao, so that it can bloom in its former glory, I don't know if there is such a thing!" ”

"Pure malicious slander!"

Wei Qi was expressionless, shook his head, and said: "Mu Shizi, you are joking, my seventh uncle is indeed one of the best Confucians in Hedong, but he is generous, acts with clear rewards and punishments, and cares for him. ”

"I think so!"

Mu Jing shrugged: "Wei Zhongdao wants to propose, Brother Bo has come all the way from Hedong, it must be a deep brotherhood!" ”

"That's natural!"

Wei Qi's expression was dark, and his eyes became colder and colder.

His heart was even more worried.

Mu Jing, a young man, became more and more incomprehensible to him, and he could only deal with it like this.

"I don't know how Bo Ji sees the current situation today?" Mu Jing personally poured a glass of warm wine for Wei Qi, and the wind of words suddenly changed, from the love of family brotherhood, to the current situation in the world, it was a topic of small talk, but Wei Qi's cold sweat dripped down.

"Back to the world, I am just a white man now, and I dare not say anything about the government!"

Wei Qi stabilized his mentality and continued to deal with it.

"It's just a matter of talking, Brother Bo Ji doesn't have to mind!"

Mu Jing raised the wine cup and took a sip, as if he was in a very leisurely state, but it eased the atmosphere a little: "Brother Bo Jing actually doesn't need to be so restrained in front of the younger brother, the younger brother is younger than Brother Bo Jiao, he is a Confucian student, and now he just feasts on Brother Bo with Confucian etiquette. ”

"Brother Long Tu is humble!"

Wei Qi saw that Mu Jing said this, and immediately changed his name, and hurriedly returned the salute.

Confucianism has Confucian rules.

Mu Jing uses this rule, and as a Confucian student, he naturally can't lose the rules.

He thought about it, and still opened his mouth to contact Mu Jing's topic: "Brother Long Tu doesn't need to ask me at all, when today, the authority is in the hands of Ling Zun, how the world is, it depends on Ling Zun's ability!" ”

"Is that really what Bo Cha sees?" Mu Jing squinted.

Wei Qi's face turned slightly straight, some things can be confused, some things must be clear, he knows that Mu Jing is looking at him, so he can't be timid: "Strong soldiers, you can make the country strong!" ”

"Well said!"

Mu Jing smiled: "Brother Bo Ji is undoubtedly to say that my father has a strong army, but he can control the court and the world, but Jing doesn't see it that way, there are still not enough strong soldiers, and the people need to be willing to make the world stable!" ”

"Brother Longtu thinks, what is the heart of the people!"

"Some people say that even if the people's hearts are the hearts of the people in the world, the people's hearts cannot be forced!"

"Aren't you just demanding?" After all, Wei Qi couldn't suppress the edge in his heart, and suddenly burst out, he slowly raised his head, his eyes stared at Mu Jing, without the slightest trembling just now, resolute and fearless.

He had already guessed the purpose of Mujing's banquet today, so naturally he didn't need to be submissive.

"Hahaha!"

When Mu Jing heard this, he had to admit that he once again underestimated Wei Qi, Wei Qi learned how, he didn't dare to speak, but his wisdom and reaction were absolutely first-class, this was a talent, he laughed out loud: "It's a pity that I Mu Longtu, I just want to do things that can't be done, who said that I can't force it, I really want to force it today, what does Brother Bo Ji think!" ”

There was a sinister aura in him, rising up, enveloping the entire chamber in it.

Between the two, there is a subtle aura in the collision.

"There are many families in the world, our Wei family is less than the top, more than the bottom, it's just that An An is serving the court, but why is it our Wei family?" After a long time, Wei Qi spoke.

"Persimmons should also be pinched softly, among the influential families in Guanzhong, only Wei's is a soft persimmon!"

Mu Jing said unabashedly: "Only the Wei family has the foundation to impress the world's families!" ”

"The descendants are not filial, and they are in such a situation that the Wei family has fallen into!"

Wei Qi sighed.

He Hedong Wei, hundreds of years of grandeur, but never thought that there would be a day when he was forced to have no way out, and became a soft persimmon in the mouth of a cold turtle, which is sad.

"Even so, I still don't believe you dare to do it!"

Wei Qi raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at Mu Jing with a dead eye: "You don't dare!" ”

The Guanzhong family is prosperous, even if he is a bad ship, there are still three nails after all, he doesn't think Mu Jing dares to attack Wei.

"I dare!"

The corners of Mu Jing's mouth raised slightly, and Xiao Xuan's voice sounded coldly, and said: "For my father to be able to sit firmly above the court, I dare to do everything that I can't do, if Brother Bo Ji dares to gamble, tomorrow I will behead Wei Qu on trumped-up charges and cut off Wei's arm!" ”

Wei Qu, Wei's in the capital, the only person who can handle it, after the chaos in the capital, he can be regarded as a fluke, such as the lieutenant of Luoyang County, the soldier of Luoyang County.

When Wei Qi heard this, his face was gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't dare to bet.

Today's Wei is already in short supply, there are very few people who can use it, and even fewer can be influential in the capital, and now Wei Qu is the only façade, if it is broken, Wei can only fully withdraw from the capital, limited to Hedong, and then gradually decline.

"It is rumored that the Mu clan is acting domineering, and this is true!" Wei Qi clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his forehead were uneven, but he could only hold back a breath of resentment in his heart.

"Our father and son of the Mu family started from recklessness, and naturally they are not so disciplined!"

Mu Jing admitted this, but smiled indifferently.

"Are you so sure that I'm going to obey you?" Wei Qi looked at Mu Jing, and there was an unwilling light in his eyes.

"You will, because I can feel the unwillingness in your heart!"

Mu Jing is confident: "If the cooperation between us is a win-win situation, you know better than anyone that the future of the Wei family cannot be pinned on the mutual support between the families, if you want the Wei family to restore its former glory, you can only cooperate with us, which is also one of the reasons why Brother Bo is willing to come to the banquet!" ”

"Even if I agree, Wei's strength is weak, and he may not be able to help you!"

"Hedong Wei Clan, you can dominate Guanzhong for many years, I believe that your background, coupled with my father's influence, and our operation, is enough to tear the Guanzhong family apart, it is enough!"

“……”

When the two secretly reached a tacit understanding, the atmosphere of the banquet became a lot weirder, they raised the wine cup to talk, until the evening, Wei Qi and Mu Jing left separately, but there are some things, they have tacitly understood.

……

……

In the golden autumn of October, the cool breeze gusts.

In the city of Luoyang.

On the banks of the Luoshui River, Cai Fu.

Cai's Mansion is actually not a great mansion, but it is also a three-in and three-out courtyard, close to the top of Luoshui, with a beautiful environment, and the layout of the house, rockery and flowing water, drawing on the Jiangdong style, quite charming, making people walk into a sense of bookishness.

Above the main hall.

Cai Yong was dressed in a Confucian robe, kneeling dangerously, his face was as cold as ice, his eyes were as cold as a blade, staring at his old friend in front of him, and said coldly: "Senior Brother Zi, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Brother Bo, people can't be untrustworthy!"

Wang Yun said softly: "This is the contract you made with Wei Shengong in the past, do you want to regret it?" ”

When Cai Yong heard this, his face suddenly gloomy and uncertain.

Wang Yun is here to propose.

Propose marriage for Wei Zhongdao.

Originally, the matter should not be so bothered that Situ came forward when the dynasty came forward, but the Wei family had a big face, Wei Zhongdao begged Yuan Feng, and then asked Wang Yun, and there will always be someone who will come forward because of the presence of the Wei family in Hedong.

It stands to reason that a person in Shilin, based on a letter of faith, must be trustworthy in order to maintain his status as a giant in Shilin.

But this is about her daughter Cai Yan's future life.

He has a son under his knees, the only daughter Cai Yan, regards it as his life, even if he gambles on his reputation, he will not let his daughter be wronged at all, this is where he is entangled.

"Zhongdao!" Cai Yong's eyes lit up and glanced at Wei Zhongdao.

"Teacher!"

Wei Zhongdao took half a step and bowed.

"Don't you have anything to explain to the old man?" Cai Yong asked coldly.

"Teacher, everything the students do, although it is a little disdainful, but it is for the friendship between the Wei and Cai clans for many years, even if the students do not do well, but the students have a sincere heart for Zhaoji, the world can be expressed, and the teacher is invited to see it!"

Wei Zhongdao said respectfully.

There are some things that he can hide from Cai Yan, but he definitely can't hide from Cai Yong, so he simply admits it.

"Good, good, good!"

Cai Yong smiled angrily, three in a row, and said coldly: "Wei Zhongdao, you are very good, for so many years, I Cai Bojiao can be regarded as attentive to you, and what I can teach you has been taught to you, but unfortunately I didn't let you inherit your father's style after all, it's the old man's fault." ”

His best friend Wei Shen, although he is from a good family, can act generously, above board, never bend his waist in the face of power, and is upright and awe-inspiring in the world.

It's a pity that although Wei Zhongdao is young and intelligent, he can follow his talents, but he can't follow his style.

"Master, the prince of Ming Hou handed over his name and is asking to see him outside the mansion!"

At this time, a Cai servant hurriedly walked up from outside, handed Cai Yong a name post, and said in a low voice.

"Shepherd Dragon Diagram?"

When Cai Yong heard this, his pupils changed slightly: "Why is he here?" ”

"Student Mujing, meet Cai Sacrifice Wine!"

Mu Jing has already walked in with his own soldiers, this Cai Mansion, really can't stop him, after he stepped in, his personal guards stopped outside the door, guarding the hall, and he walked in and immediately bowed to Cai Yong.

"Mu Longtu, what are you doing?"

Cai Yong stared at Mu Jing, his brows furrowed.

"Shepherd Dragon Diagram?"

Wang Yun and Wei Zhongdao glanced at each other, as well as the dozen or so famous Confucian officials in the court who helped Wei Zhongdao, and their expressions became solemn at this moment.

"Cai sacrificial wine, I am here to thank the priest for his love and affection for the students in Taixue in the past!"

Mu Jing said with a smile: "I also heard that Brother Zhongdao came to ask for marriage today, so let's come to see the excitement!" ”

It's time for the show to begin.

He's going to play, of course.

It's going to be a good show.
