The east 'gate' Qing woke up, the sun had slanted to the west, and Zhou Dafu rushed to the dusk and said: "Things have taken a turn for the better!" The east 'gate' celebrated and asked, "What?" ”

Zhou Dafu said: "Zhang Lian invited us to dinner, I just saw him ask his sister-in-law to kill the 'chicken'." ”

Dong 'Gate' Qing said: "Don't be too happy, maybe people are cooking 'chicken' soup to send guests!" ”

At dinnertime, Zhang Lian really set up a banquet at his brother Zhang Lang's house, the host was him and Zhang Lang, Zhang Houming, Zhang Bao, and the guests only brought Shen Wei, Zhou Dafu and Lin Feng to the east 'door' celebration, and Chen Baifu Water Snake Cai Tui said that he was uncomfortable and did not come.

The eight of them sat down, and Dongmenqing glanced at Zhang Lian, and couldn't see the other party's thoughts from the expression in his eyes, and said in his heart: "This person is not like his brother, it's not easy to fool around." If Shen 'Gate' can't 'provoke' him this time, most of them will have to be strong. ”

Sure enough, Zhang Lian toasted two rounds of wine, and after the greetings were over, he suddenly said: "I heard that Wang Gongzi is going to the capital city of 'Chao', I have a letter, I don't know if I can ask Wang Gongzi to bring it over?" ”

As soon as he said this, Zhang Lang's face became ugly, knowing that his brother had always refused to agree to this! Zhang Lang heard it, and he didn't know how to celebrate the East 'Gate', so he smiled and said: "The road has not been calm recently, although I want to go, but I don't know if I can do it!" ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Lian said: "My younger brother Zhang Po has been to the 'Chao' state capital, he will come back tonight, and I will ask him to lead the way for Wang Gongzi." We are familiar with this road, and we all know each other in villages and towns along the way, and there will be no accidents. If Wang Gongzi is willing to help carry a letter, the friend who received my letter also has a few houses in the 'Chao' state capital, and if Wang Gongzi does not dislike it when he arrives in the 'Chao' state capital, he can live with him, my friend has good connections in Fucheng and is familiar with all kinds of markets, and Wang Gongzi can ask him about business matters, or it will be helpful. ”

These words sound just an understatement at first glance, but in fact, in addition to politely refusing the business promised by Zhang Lang, he also helped Dongmenqing make arrangements to go to the capital of the 'Chao' state, that is, the business matters have also been 'handed over', as for the so-called invitation to the East 'Gate' Qing to bring a letter Yunyun is all a pretext - why should he entrust the letter to others even if he asked his younger brother Zhang Po to lead the way to the 'Chao' state capital together? Of course, Dongmenqing will not be stupid enough to expose this pretext on the spot. Zhang Lian didn't kick out Dongmenqing on the spot in the afternoon, and he would talk like this again, that is, he hoped that both sides would step down and be willing to 'make' a friend.

If the East 'Gate' Qing gang is really a good businessman, most of them will have nothing to say at this time, and they will even feel happy, but Shen Wei and the others know the purpose of coming this time, the so-called selling of 'tide' embroidery clouds is actually just a disguise, where do you hope for this? Dongmen' Qing smiled and said, "If that's the case, then thank you a lot." ”

Zhang Lian saw that he knew each other, and he had two more good feelings in his heart. Zhang Lang, Shen Wei and the others were a little anxious when they heard this, Zhang Lang thought to himself, could it be that a good business was ruined like this? If he had known that his younger brother would push the big business he got to the 'door', why did he bother so much? Not only did he 'spend' his salary to hire someone to clean the old house, but he also lost a big meal of fish and meat tonight! Xin said: "I knew that this meal shouldn't have been rushed with the second child!" Alas, it's a pity for my old hen! "Shen Wei and the others felt that it was too easy for Dongmen' Qing to loosen his mouth, they thought that at this time, it was better to work hard from Zhang Lang and let him convince his younger brother!

But after the East 'Gate' Qing said thank you, he never mentioned it, and ate and drank, chatting with Zhang Lian, talking about Fujian's experience, talents, and deeds, and from Fujian to Shuangyu, to the capital, to Japan, and even to the overseas Franco, Lin Feng was elated after a meal, Zhang Lang frowned, Shen Wei was puzzled, but Zhang Lian thought: "This Wang Si is really a person from a big place, and his conversation and knowledge are very extraordinary." What is rare is that there is still a bit of bookish atmosphere! "'Chao' Shanminan belongs to the same family culturally, even pawns, peddlers and even thieves and prostitutes also know to respect scholars.

The meal has been eaten, but the two are talking speculatively, Zhang Lian invited him to his home to drink tea, he personally pushed the cup, the east 'door' Qing drank two rounds, thinking: "His way of making tea is a little rusty, but this tea is also exquisite, it seems that he is a person who likes tea." Then he said: "I have been disturbed a lot in the past two days, and I can't repay it, I have two taels of good tea with me, so I took it out and invited Brother Zhang to taste tea." Without waiting for Zhang Lian to answer, he said to Lin Feng: "Go and bring the small porcelain pot wrapped in blue 'color' satin in my baggage." Lin Feng went to get it as he said, and Dongmenqing took it and said with a smile: "It's rare to fall in love with Brother Zhang, let's not care about the host or guest, I'll take this bubble." Then he moved the tea set, fanned the stove to wash the cup, scraped the tea, Guan Gong patrolled the city, Han Xin ordered the troops, and a tea fragrance was about to come out, and Zhang Lian shouted: "Good tea!" Good tea! He sighed again: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Dongmen' Qing was a little surprised and said, "Did the little brother do something wrong?" Or is this Minhou Baiyan's eldest brother unsightly? ”

Zhang Lian hurriedly said: "No, this tea is good, and Wang Gongzi is also good!" It's just a pity that I can't see or smell it, and when she looks back, she knows that she has missed such good tea and good tea art, and she has to regret that she can't sleep for three days and three nights. ”

East 'Gate' Qingxin said: "It turns out that it is his wife who likes tea." He smiled, "I see." We are not a big family of scholars, and we don't need to be too particular, if Brother Zhang doesn't care, how about inviting my sister-in-law to come out and have tea together? ”

Zhang Lian said: "In our countryside, we don't pay so much attention to male and female defense. But Humble Jing went to her mother's house, and she is not at home now. ”

The east 'gate' celebrated and said, "That's a pity." ”

Lin Feng was beside him, and suddenly said, "Cousin, then let's stay here for two more days, and wait for Aunt Zhang to come and see before leaving." ”

Shen Wei couldn't help but applaud when he heard it next to him, as long as they stayed in Wushiwei for one more day, they would be able to have more hope and turnaround, and what they were most afraid of was Zhang Lian's expulsion of guests, so they secretly praised Lin Feng's cleverness.

Who knew that the east 'gate' Qing said: "No! Business matters! When we went out this time, there were dozens of families behind our backs! Brother Zhang has already helped us arrange to go to the 'Chao' state capital, so it's better for us to go early and return early." Anyway, we have 'made' friends with Brother Zhang, and this tea can be drunk at any time, but if the thing of selling 'tide' embroidery is messed up, there will be people crying all the way back to Quanzhou! ”

If the East 'Gate' celebration was to beat the snake with the stick, Zhang Lian might not agree, but when he said this, Zhang Lian couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Shen Wei over there was even more strange when he heard it, and said in his heart: "He said that during the meal, and now he says it again, does Wang Gongzi feel that things are hopeless, retreat, and want to leave earlier?" ”

After another round of drinking, he suddenly broke into a Housheng who was about the same age as Dongmenqing outside, Zhang Lian introduced the two of them, saying that the Housheng was his brother Zhang Po, and said to Zhang Po: "You have a mouthful!" When I came back, I bumped into Wang Gongzi's good tea! Come, have a drink. ”

Zhang Po looked like he was in a hurry, but he still took the teacup and poured it into his mouth, Zhang Lian smiled and said, "You are a cow drinking water!" Zhang Po smiled reluctantly: "I have been on the road for half a day and am thirsty. He secretly pulled the corner of Zhang Lian's clothes again, and whispered: "He must see you." ”

Zhang Lian sighed slightly, and said to the east 'gate': "I have some 'private' matters, I have to deal with them." ”

Dongmen' Qing immediately got up and said, "Then I'll take my leave first!" ”

Zhang Lian stopped and said, "No, no, you can sit down, prince, and I'll come when I go." ”

Dongmen' Qing shook his head and said, "I drank a lot of tea just now, and if I drink it again, I'm afraid I'll get drunk." ”

Zhang Lian kept it again and again, and the east 'gate' celebrated: "Brother Zhang, if I am a friend, don't 'get' this politeness." Zhang Lian let him go, let Zhang Bao send them back, back to Zhang Houming, Zhang Houming saw that Zhang Lian did not agree to take the deal, and heard that the East 'Gate' Qing was in a hurry to leave, knowing that the cooked duck was going to fly and couldn't help but feel heartache, and he was also a little embarrassed in the face of the East 'Gate' Qingshi, Zhang Bao also went back to the room after he left, and the East 'Gate' Qing made a 'look', and Lin Feng said that he was going to pee and run away.

After closing the 'door', Chen Baifu Shuiyu Cai and others asked how things were, Shen Wei said them one by one, Chen Baifu said that it was a pity, and asked why Dong 'Gate' Qing agreed to leave so easily, and whether he was ready to give up Yunyun. Dong 'Gate' Qing didn't answer, but asked, "Is there any news from Shen 'Gate'?" ”

Chen Baifu said: "Just now we heard from the back window and the person he 'plugged' in the bamboo tube, and learned that Manager Shen will come to Zhang Lian tonight. ”

Shen Wei sighed and said, "Manager Shen told us that Zhang Lian has always sent his younger brother Zhang Po to connect with him, looking at it this way, most of the ''private' things that Zhang Lian said just now were Mr. Shen's coming." ”

Dong 'Gate' Qing nodded and said, "Then let's just wait, I hope Shen 'Gate' can be successful, then we don't have to 'worry'." ”

Everyone waited quietly, and the night in Wushiwei was so quiet that it was unbearable to endure - especially those who had plans in their hearts and were waiting for the result! The water snake Cai was so irritable that he paced back and forth in the house, Zhou Dafu always wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, Shen Wei and Chen Baifu could still sit still, and Dongmen' Qing was lying on the borrowed rattan chair, chasing mosquitoes in his hands.

I don't know how long later, there was a sudden roar outside the 'door', Zhang Houming's entry into the house and Zhang Lian's entry into the four 'door' households, it sounded like the roar came from Zhang Lian's entry into the house. Shuiyu Cai Xi said: "There is a situation!" "I wanted to push the 'door' out, but was held down by Shen Wei and Chen Baifu, Zhou Dafu asked the east 'door' Qing: "What should I do?" ”

The east 'gate' Qing said: "Wait a little longer. ”

After a while, the 'door' board rang lightly twice, Zhou Dafu opened the 'door' a crack, Lin Feng came in, Chen Baifu and Shen Wei asked, "What happened just now?" ”

Lin Feng said: "Uncle, after you left, that Zhang Lian went to the waikou to borrow two people to come in, and then entered the house, I hid in the dark and saw that one of the people looked very much like Uncle Shen. ”

Dong 'Gate' Qing nodded and said, "That's probably Shen's 'Gate' That's right." And then? ”

Lin Feng said: "After they went in, there was no sound. It wasn't until that Zhang Po rushed out yelling just now, as if shouting: 'I'm going to kill him!' I'm going to kill him!" But after shouting for two words, Zhang Lian covered his mouth and pulled back. ”

Chen Baifu, Shen Wei and the others glanced at each other, and the East 'Gate' Qing smiled: "Shen 'Gate' has done a good job!" It seems that Zhang Lian and they have already believed it. Said to Zhou Dafu: "You generously open the 'door' and go out to have a look, if there are some three aunts and six women outside the 'door' who are asking what happened just now, you can also follow their example to inquire." ”

Zhou Dafu said: "I know! So he went out, and came back after a while and said: "Zhang Lian said that Zhang Po was drunk and crazy just now, and kept apologizing to his neighbors, and now everyone has gone back to the house." ”

The East 'Gate' celebrated: "Good! I heard that the revenge of killing my father was so enduring, this person is not simple! ”

Zhou Dafu said: "Prince Wang, what do you think he will do?" ”

"I don't know." Dong 'Gate' Qingdao: "Now it seems that he has believed Shen 'Gate''s words, but what he will do next, I can't say." ”

Shen Wei said: "It's best if he wants to use our strength to kill the patriarch, then we can use this matter to drag him into the water!" ”

Dongmen Qing thought for a moment and said: "He has a very high reputation among the young people in the nearby ten towns and eight miles, and I heard Uncle Lin say that he is also very good at methods, and he may not need to borrow our hand when he really wants revenge." However, after stabbing the enemy, he always had to find a way out, and Shen 'Men' could only impress him from this point. Wait, before dawn, we should know. Let's go to sleep first, don't wait for tomorrow to turn into dark circles under your eyes, so that people can see the flaws. ”

That's what you said, but where can the water snake Cai and others sleep? It was easy to get to the sky 'color' to be white, the back window suddenly rattled, Chen Baifu and the others knew that it was a code, and quickly stretched out the bamboo tube, whispered to the people outside, jumped down, and the tone was full of irrepressible disappointment: "I really didn't expect it!" I didn't expect that! This Zhang Lian is known as Rao Ping's hero, I didn't expect it to be so seedless! ”

Zhou Dafu and the others hurriedly asked what was wrong? Chen Baifu said: "Do you know how he replied to Mr. Shen?" He actually said that it had been too long since this matter, and there was no point in pursuing it further, but thank you Manager Shen for telling him the truth! ”

Shen Weishui Yu Cai scolded when he heard it: "No seed!" The revenge of killing his father is not shared, if he doesn't believe it, forget it, but if he believes it, he won't take revenge! This guy is still not a man! ”

"I don't think it's that simple! But since he said so, then Manager Shen's side will fail! Zhou Dafu said: "Wang Gongzi, what should we do next in this matter?" ”

In order not to attract attention, there was no lamp in the house, and although the sky was white, the doors and windows were not opened, and the little light that had just come out of the sun could not shine in, so they all whispered to each other in the darkness where they could not see their fingers, and they could not see each other. After Zhou Dafu asked, he didn't hear Dongmen's answer and asked again: "Prince Wang?" ”

Only then did I hear the East Gate Qing say: "I don't know." Let's go to bed first. ”

"Sleep?"

"Hmm." East 'Gate' Qing said: "If you really can't do it, you can only come hard." It's not that far, but what to do...... Let's go to bed first, and when we wake up, maybe there will be a way. ”
