Chapter 129: Inviting Hearts and Minds
The night is vast, and Wang Shouye's riding skills are extremely sparse, so he naturally does not dare to speed up along the way.
When he returned home, it was already more than half of the hour [22:00], Wang Shouye originally thought of going back to the backyard to wash up briefly, so he went to sleep directly, and waited for Ming'er to discuss the matter of buying a house with the old man early in the morning.
Who would have thought that before entering the house, he saw the bright lights in the living room - he glanced at Li Gao, who opened the door, and sure enough, there was a guest.
It's not someone else, it's really Li Chengliang and his son.
Seeing that it was the two of them, Wang Shouye already had a guess in his heart.
After the guests and hosts sat down, they asked him about the intention of the father and son, and sure enough, it was for Li Rusong to join the Shanhai Supervisor.
Today, the Ministry of War issued a notice that Li Chengliang successfully made up for the general of the Zhengsi Pin Kaiyuan Guard, and only after the 15th collective was sealed, he could take office.
This was originally a great joy for Li Chengliang.
After all, he is thirty and six years old this year, and what he has been thinking about for half his life is to inherit the ancestral business.
But in addition to his own appointment, there is also Li Rusong's name on the list - accumulating merit, and actually giving the mountain and sea supervisors the capital.
If he wanted to put it on the past, Li Chengliang might be happy and proud of his son, but since he figured out that this mountain and sea prison was actually dealing with gods and ghosts, he made up his mind to stay away.
"Brother Xian."
Li Chengliang rubbed his hands and smiled a little restrainedly: "The child is still young, do you think it is more appropriate to let him follow me for a few years first, and then release him on an errand?" β
Although he has already taught the four grades, Li Chengliang does not dare to hold it up in front of Wang Shouye.
Now in this capital, who doesn't know that Shanhaijian is the emperor's heart? Who doesn't know that Wang Shoubei is Jane's master in the emperor's heart?
"Ugh."
Wang Shouye pretended to sigh, and said helplessly: "This is most likely what Bai Jianzheng meant, yesterday's dust washing banquet, Lord Jianzheng favored Rusong - it was also my lack of thought, if I insisted on not taking Song'er to Cangzhou at that time, there would be no such thing." β
"No, no, no!"
Hearing Wang Shouye's self-blame, Li Chengliang hurriedly said: "How can you blame you for this, Brother Xian, it was obviously my idea at that time." β
After a pause, he asked with a smile: "Then is there any room for turning around in this matter?" β
"It's hard to say."
Wang Shouye shook his head and said: "I can definitely quit my resignation, but I'm afraid that Bai Jian Zheng doesn't like it in his heart - Brother Ruqi probably doesn't know yet, right?" At present, the white prison is guarding the spirit of the Yan Mansion, and I heard that the second and third grade Shangshu waiters came to worship, and he came forward to support. β
Hiss......
Li Chengliang immediately gasped when he heard this, because this meant that Bai Jianzheng had become one of the Yan family's most trusted cronies, and even to some extent, could represent the will of the Yan family's father and son.
If this is really hated by him, he doesn't have to come forward in person, as long as he crooks his mouth in the capital, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to live in Kaiyuanwei.
No!
Maybe even the matter of attacking the lord may be directly yellowed!
"That'...... That ......"
Li Chengliang had a bitter face, and he didn't dare to say anything about refusal, but he was afraid that his son would confess, and he was really in a dilemma.
"Brother Ruqi."
Wang Shouye patted his chest at this time and said: "If you can trust me, leave Song'er in the capital first, and have a brother to take care of it, and I will not let him take risks easily." β
Li Rusong stood behind his father, he had been holding back for a long time, and finally couldn't help it when he heard this, and said with his head held high: "Father-in-law, children are not afraid of danger!" β
"What are you plugging?!"
Li Chengliang glared back, got up and arched his hand: "Then you can only trouble the virtuous brother." β
The two said a few words about their parents, but because it was too late, Li Chengliang took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
Wang Shouye sent their father and son to the alley.
When he was about to get into the car, Li Chengliang remembered something again, turned his head and said: "The two hundred taels of silver, when I have a firm foothold in Kaiyuanwei, I will ask someone to send ......."
"Huh!"
Wang Shouye pretended to be displeased and sank his face: "What silver is not silver, it should be my meeting gift to the child!" β
"How does this make ......?"
"Why not?"
Wang Shouye said with a straight face: "Brother Ruqi is here to do something about it, if you ruin your reputation because of the misappropriation of silver, wouldn't it be my sin?" β
As he spoke, he raised his hand and said undoubtedly: "Don't even worry about Brother Chongzhi's two hundred taels, I'll let you count all the silver in a few days, and let Rusong send it to him." β
"This ...... This ......"
Li Chengliang was a little choked up when he was moved, and it would be hypocritical to refrain at this time, so he bowed solemnly and said: "Thank you for your great kindness!" In the future, if the virtuous brother is useful to me, Li Chengliang will never give up! β
Say goodbye.
It was easy to send off the Li family father and son, Wang Shouye turned his head back to the alley, and as soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw a person standing in the doorway.
Wang Shouye thought it was Li Gao at first, and when he opened his mouth, he scolded: "You kid don't go to sleep yet, poke here......"
"Who's the boy?"
As soon as the other side returned the mouth, Wang Shouye realized that it was his own old man.
So he hurriedly laughed and said, "It's you, Dad, I thought Li Gao - why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" β
"Isn't this to wait for you?"
The old man said, and walked to the living room with his hands behind his back.
Wang Shouye thought that he was going to enter the door to talk in detail, so he hurried a few steps over to open the curtain, but when he turned around, he found that the old man was squatting on the steps in front of the door.
"Dad, it's warmer inside."
"Just a few words, and then I sit on that wooden lump, I always feel unsteady in my heart."
When you don't know the price, don't you sit down quite steadily?
Wang Shouye had no choice but to turn back and squat beside him, listening to the old man talk about the process of looking at the house today.
There is a lot of chatter, and it can be summed up in two words: Tegui!
"Whew!"
After Wang Shouye listened, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "I wonder why you don't sleep in the middle of the nightβisn't it silver?" You can just pick up the good ones and buy them for them, and you don't have to worry about the silver! β
Pride comes from confidence.
This time, Wang Shouye went to Cangzhou to collect more than 1,000 taels of silver, most of which were 'farewells' given by the local gentry when he left Cangzhou.
At that time, Wang Shouye also hesitated whether to be the first or not, but Zhang Siwei said that this was a common practice in officialdom, don't do it in vain.
There are also 500 taels, which were transferred by Li Gao from Zhangjiatuo in Miao County - it is estimated that Wang Shouye's official position has doubled and risen, and he was afraid that the 200 taels were 'not interesting enough', so he gave him another 500 taels.
If this money is to be refused, it is estimated that Zhang Ruyuan and Zhang Ruji should be worried all day long.
How can this be enduring?
So Wang Shouye could only reluctantly laugh at it.
In short, with more than 1,000 taels of silver as a foundation, Wang Shouye is naturally tough - anyway, it is impossible for the old man to buy the big mansion with three or four entrances.
After separating from the old man.
Wang Shouye finally got kung fu and washed and rested in the backyard.
However, as soon as there was a delay here, it was already past Zizheng [24:00], and he was lying on the bed tossing and turning, but he couldn't sleep.
You said that this Jiao Xing is also true.
Yesterday's perseverance, why is there no movement today?
I can't sleep alone.
In the second half of the night, it was easy to get confused, and it was less than half an hour before I was suddenly pushed and woken up.
Wang Shouye sat up from the bed in a daze, and looked at Jiao Xing, who was still calling for himself, and he didn't feel angry.
You said that you were looking forward to her coming, but she didn't come, but she just slept soundly, and she came to make trouble!
Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold, he suddenly heard Jiao Xing say eagerly: "Get up, master, there is a thief in the yamen!" β
