Chapter 554: Don't Blame Me

Although he almost returned to the gate of the house in a moving way, he finally returned home, at this time Shi Bin felt extremely embarrassed and clearly remembered that when he just got those few good books, he was very arrogant, and he walked sideways, as if as long as he threw the book to Wang Lixin, he would immediately abandon the darkness and surrender to himself. As a result, he didn't even enter the door of Wang's mansion, which was really embarrassing.

Shi Bin will naturally get his face back, but the imminent thing is not to regain face, but how to cover up his ugliness in front of Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, two shrewd wives. This is a difficult problem to solve, but what makes Shi Bin feel comfortable is that these two women are not the kind of shrews who don't know how to advance or retreat, at most they just sneer at him. It's just that Shi Bin didn't even want to bear the ridicule, so he stood at the door for a long time and didn't step in.

Seeing Shi Bin hesitating when he entered his own door, his face was painful, as if he had entered his mansion to follow the prison. The smart Xu Feng immediately understood the reason, and immediately spoke: "My lord, please feel free to go in, please follow my words later." ”

He didn't want to speak for a long time, so Shi Bin nodded helplessly. He believed that Xu Feng could still help a little, but he still didn't think that he could escape this ridicule.

This door had to be entered, and the porter had already seen Shi Bin come back and went to the backyard to tell Jia Ling and Sai Xishi. If he walked too slowly, it would be easy for Jia Ling and Sai Xishi to see the flaws, and Xu Feng's method would definitely be useless, so Shi Bin still took three steps and two steps into the mansion.

Before I could cross the patio, I saw two excited women trotting over. Looking at that look, he should subconsciously think that he was successful, which made Shi Bin feel even more stressed, and he couldn't help sweating on his forehead.

"Hello two ladies." Shi Bin smiled as always.

"Of course it's good to rest at home, what about you, how are you? Then Wang Lixin didn't give you five eviction orders like last time, right? Sai Si Shi asked.

When Shi Bin was about to speak, Xu Feng grabbed the conversation and said, "Of course not, how dare Wang Lixin be so rude to Da Da again?" ”

"Did you get the book?" Home asked.

"Delivered." Xu Feng said with a smile.

"Did he say anything?" Jia Ling was both happy and skeptical that things were going so smoothly, so she asked again.

"He was a little sick, so he didn't say much, just said a few thanks, and let the servants send us out. He said that if there was anything else to talk about, he would wait until he was well to talk about it. Xu Feng replied,

Xu Feng's answer made Jia Ling and Sai Xishi feel unbelievable, and Sai Xishi groaned and said, "Why didn't Wang Lixin's guard mention Wang Lixin's illness before?" ”

"Second lady, we didn't ask before. What's more, Wang Lixin works overtime day and night, and it is normal for him to suffer from some wind and cold, in the final analysis, he is just a civil servant, and his body is much weaker than that of my family. ”

This answer quickly dispelled Sai Xishi's doubts, and she was fooled. But Jia Ling, who has not yet made her more thoughtful thinking, believe it.

Because Jia Ling didn't take long to ask: "In other words, although the book was delivered this time, Wang Lixin did not express his position, did you leave in vain this time?" ”

"Sort of." Xu Feng sighed and said.

As soon as the words fell, Jia Ling immediately shouted: "Xu Feng, you are so bold, dare to lie to me!" Tell me the truth, what the hell is going on? ”

Being scolded so suddenly, Xu Feng immediately panicked, couldn't deal with it calmly, so he had to pretend to be stupid, and repeatedly said that he didn't know what Jia Ling was talking about. Seeing that Xu Feng refused to explain himself, Jia Ling didn't bother to ask, and began to expose Xu Feng's lies by herself.

Wang Lixin pays great attention to the official voice, and never accepts other people's things easily, let alone accepts things without saying more than a few words but only saying a few thanks. No matter how stupid he is, he should know the meaning of these three solitary books, how could he not say a word since he received such a generous gift, but only said a few words of thanks? ”

Since the lie was punctured by Jia Ling's words, Shi Bin didn't bother to pretend to be dumb anymore, coughed twice, and after indicating his existence, he spoke: "Actually, we didn't even enter the door of Wang's Mansion this time, and the bastard in the porter closed the door as soon as he saw it." The three books were really sent in, but it is unknown whether they reached Wang Lixin's hands. ”

Didn't get in the door? This news was like a slap in the face to Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, and the two tigresses were stimulated to have the urge to immediately set fire to the Wang Mansion. At the same time, I also understood why Shi Bin was silent as soon as he entered the door, Xu Feng was also talking nonsense, and after a long time, this operation was a complete failure.

Knowing that Jia Ling and the others were on the verge of breaking out, Shi Bin immediately copied what Xu Feng said before, "Wang Lixin didn't see me this time, which means that he has realized my plan." Since he didn't have a showdown, he didn't explicitly refuse. It shows that he wants to be left alone. At the same time, it also shows that he has no ill will towards me, and is even a little afraid, afraid that he will really be co-opted by me to become a traitor to the Great Song Dynasty. This kind of mentality is better to conquer, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, let's take our time, he will take refuge in me sooner or later. ”

Although these reasons could not hide the blow to Jia Ling and Sai Xishi from the failure of the operation, they made them more comfortable, at least without the idea of burning Wang's Mansion.

In order to make Shi Bin feel better, Xu Fengjiang said what he had just thought of and said: "My lord, just now the eldest lady said that Wang Lixin would never accept a gift like this and did not react. In that case, why don't we take this opportunity to bring him to his knees? ”

Take this opportunity to bring Wang Lixin to his knees? Xu Feng's words were not understood by anyone for a while. Wang Lixin accepted those good books and returned them, how could he use this to make him succumb? Shi Bin and the three of them all thought that Xu Feng was talking about a dream.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Shi Bin and the three of them still hadn't thought clearly, and their faces were very anxious, Xu Feng didn't dare to wait any longer, and immediately explained: "My lord, two ladies." Regardless of whether Wang Lixin will serve adults in the future, he will definitely not ask for these three books now, and he will definitely return them in person. After returning it, you will leave immediately after saying a few polite words. ”

"yes, how do you get him to succumb?" Because he was holding a lot of breath, Sai Xi Shi asked a little angrily.

Soon, Xu Feng said his thoughts: to repay the other with the way of the other. Shifu also closed the door to thank the guests and did not let Wang Lixin return the book. Although I feel that there must be some loopholes in it, this method of static braking is very simple and easy to operate, if this method does not work, it is good to change it. In addition, several people were so angry that they lost their energy, and having Xu Feng's method was like a relief, and they didn't want to use their brains anymore, they just wanted to rest.

Because he was so angry, Shi Bin actually didn't sleep all night, and the rooster crowed all over and over again. Maybe it's because I feel aggrieved at home, and it's rare to go for a morning run.

Halfway through the run, I saw someone arguing over some trivial matter, although it was along the river, but at this time I was not in the mood to care about this, so I turned around and ran to another place. But on the way, he thought about what if the three books he bought back for a thousand taels of silver were damaged by Wang Lixin? Do you want compensation from Wang Lixin or just leave it at that? It didn't take long to come up with an answer: even if Wang Lixin broke the book, he could only pinch his nose and admit it. You have to be generous.

While thinking about it, I unconsciously arrived at the street corner to Wang's mansion again, and happened to see Wang Lixin going out. Look, the direction is not to go to work, but to go to your own house. Secretly sighed that he had already prepared and would never let Wang Lixin return the book smoothly, so Shi Bin was not in a hurry, but just took a shortcut back to the mansion from an alley.

Seeing that Shi Bin only went out and ran for a quarter of an hour and came back, Jia Ling wanted to laugh at him for only acting like him. But seeing the seriousness of his face, he didn't dare to laugh, because he knew that something important was coming.

However, as soon as I realized this, I heard a report from the porter: Wang Lixin is visiting.

"What should I do?" Jia Ling asked, "Why did Wang Lixin come so early?" ”

"Of course you can't let him in, and I can't show up, so you'll take care of everything." Shi Bin said to Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, and encouraged: "Fujun believes that you are capable enough to deal with Wang Lixin's jumping clown. ”

Although there were some surprises that Shi Bin would coax them like this, he still knew that they had to go to deal with Wang Lixin's affairs, so Jia Ling and Sai Xishi still went to the front yard quickly.

When they arrived at the courtyard of the front yard, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi heard the conversation between the porter and Wang Lixin.

"Please open the door, your Lord Shi lent me a few good books to read, and now that I have finished reading them, I am here to return the books."

The porter said, "Lord Wang." It's not that I don't open the door, my family is not in the house now, there are only women in the house, and adults are not suitable to come in at this time. ”

"Okay, then the official won't go in, but you can take these books, return them to your family, and express my gratitude." Wang Lixin had no choice but to compromise.

The ill-informed porter thought it was just a few ordinary books, and immediately agreed. When he was about to open the window to pick up the book, his shoulder was held down by Jia Ling.

"Those books are worth a fortune, a thousand taels of silver, can you collect them for the master?"

"Madame forgive me, the villain doesn't know, please don't blame Madame."

Naturally, he would not deal with a knowledgeless porter, Jia Ling said in a low voice: "Tell Wang Lixin that you dare not accept this book for the master if this book is too valuable, and you must ask him to return it to the master in person." and told him that the master had gone out of the city to inspect now, and he would not return to the city until the time came. ”

The porter was not stupid and immediately knew what Jia Ling meant, so he said it according to Jia Ling's request, and in the end, he added fuel and vinegar to say that these books are very important to Shi Bin, and Wang Lixin has to work hard to hand them back to Shi Bin, and no one else can replace them.

Although he could feel that this was Shi Bin taking revenge on himself, Wang Lixin had no choice but to find Shi Bin and return the book to him. After all, these three books are a thousand taels of silver, and no one can accept them without permission.

After thinking of this, Wang Lixin agreed with the porter to visit again in the evening. asked the porter to tell Shi Bin not to go out again, and not to let himself be in the air again.

Of course, he promised to help Wang Lixin convey the news, and the porter apologized repeatedly. Since he promised to deliver the news, Wang Lixin naturally asked the adults not to remember the villain, and said that he would not hold grudges. Then he had to leave without even entering the door, just like Shi Bin did last time.
