Chapter 1184: Inflated Ambition
Wu Qiongan came out of Huanxiang Building, and he had already made up his mind, no matter how much he liked Ying Makeup, he would not come here again, he and Ying Makeup had no fate in the end, and the timing was wrong.
If he hadn't decided on a marriage yet, he might still be able to fight, but now once this family business is canceled, he will definitely be hit hard in his career, or he will be depressed because of this, and he will become an unknown person in the officialdom from now on.
Wu Qiongan knew that he was not a person like Lin Xin, and he was not as lucky as him, so he was favored by the emperor before the imperial examination and was personally promoted.
If he can't take advantage of his wife's family to gain a firm foothold in the court, what will he do to compete with Lin Xin in the future?
Wu Qiongan was a little depressed, walking aimlessly on the side of the street.
But I don't know when I turned into an alley, smelled the smell of wine inside, it was really a little seductive, and the ghost sent the god to knock on the door.
After realizing that what he had done was a bit Meng Lang, Wu Qiongan woke up suddenly, looking at this alley, he had never been here before, how could he come here involuntarily today? It's weird.
"Here we are."
There was a sound of answering the door in the house, and Wu Qiongan was thinking about whether to leave now, or to apologize to the owner of the house before leaving, after all, it was really unreasonable for him to knock on the door for no reason.
Waiting for the little boy to open the door, he looked at Wu Qiong'an, who was standing outside, tilted his head and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Wu Qiong'an didn't know how to pick up the straightforward words, so he said with an embarrassed smile: "Wu Qiong'an." ”
"Oh, it's the new champion of this year? What are you doing here? ”
Listening to Xiao Tong's meaning, it seems that he knows his name, Wu Qiongan is eleven years old, and even he himself doesn't know why he came here.
Xiao Tong looked at Wu Qiong'an, who was standing in place, smiled, and then said: "The host said that there was a guest from afar, and it turned out to be Lord Wu Qiong'an. Please come in with me. ”
"Alas, I'm not ......"
Before Wu Qiong'an's words were finished, he was dragged into the house by the child, and Wu Qiongan simply calmed down, in short, he had already arrived here, so it was better to be safe when he met.
You can't say to the child that he was sent here by a ghost, which is not too rude, but I am afraid that they will not believe it, since the owner of this family knows him, then the meeting is fate, and he may be able to make a confidant.
Thinking of his confidant, he thought of Lin Xin and Gu Yu, if Lin Xin hadn't had Gu Yu as a friend, he could take advantage of the situation, why would he be so jealous of him? So much so that he lost the woman he loved the most.
Thinking of this, Wu Qiongan felt heartache again, and her resentment towards Lin Xin became more and more.
"Seeing the sad look on the guest's face, I prepared Qingxin tea on my own initiative, and I hope that the guest can relieve his worries."
The little boy led Wu Qiongan to sit down, and another little boy came and put it in front of Wu Qiongan with tea.
Wu Qiongan pondered his tone and said: "It is indeed my fault to come and disturb me, if the master has something, it is better for me to retire first." ”
To be honest, he didn't even know whether the owner of the house was a man or a woman, whether he was old or young, and he didn't feel a little inappropriate to continue to stay.
Later, the little boy smiled and said, "The master will be here in a while, don't worry, sir." It's fate to be here, and the host will definitely see you. ”
"Fate?"
Wu Qiongan smiled self-deprecatingly, the person who is destined for himself has no part in it after all, I don't know what the relationship between this master and himself will be in the end?
Whether it is like himself and Lin Xin are strangers, or they become irreversible friends, Wu Qiongan also has some expectations.
Waiting to hear the sound of the wheel, Wu Qiongan was even more puzzled, how could someone drive a carriage in this small courtyard?
But he forgot that when he entered this courtyard, he did not encounter a single step, even the threshold was extremely low, and almost all the roads were built gently and with a slope.
Waiting to look at the people outside, Wu Qiongan couldn't help but be stunned, the person who came turned out to be a lady, sitting on a chair that Wu Qiongan had never seen before, and was pushed over.
The two children immediately bowed and saluted: "Master." ”
Wu Qiongan also immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Please be seated."
The man's voice was hoarse and old, not like it should come from at this age.
Therefore, Wu Qiongan stared at her for a long time, and it was not until the apprentice next to him pulled his sleeve that he realized his faux pas and quickly apologized.
"The crippled body made Childe smile."
The lady smiled and said: "It's already here, Childe will come today, so I specially sent a child to wait at the door, I have a solution to Childe's worries, do you want to listen?" ”
"What?"
Wu Qiongan frowned, he didn't expect that he would accidentally come to the home of a Jianghu warlock, which is really ridiculous.
But when he thought that he had come here inexplicably, he couldn't laugh again, so he asked in a thoughtful tone, "I don't know what your solution is?" ”
Madame smiled but did not speak, as if waiting for something, Wu Qiongan thought about it and took out a money bag from her pocket and put it on the coffee table.
Although he is not the most wealthy type of person now, because he is usually very frugal, he has saved some silver in a year, and he didn't expect to use it in this place.
The lady shook her head and said, "I don't want your money." ”
"Madame Fei wants to tell me for free?"
Wu Qiongan's teacher often said that the free things in the world are the most expensive, because according to the conservation law of this world, if you don't want money, you will definitely want other things.
"That's not it, I want to exchange it for a promise from the guest in the future."
"It's a small civil official, a promise, I'm afraid it's not worth anything."
The lady took a sip of tea and said with a little meaning: "You may not be able to do anything now, but what about the future?" I don't want a promise from you right now.
As long as you do what I say, within ten years, you will definitely be able to become the prime minister of the Celestial Empire.
Although her voice was still hoarse, it was no longer so harsh, and even in Wu Qiongan's ears, he heard a pleasant taste, he seemed to be bewitched by a demon, and showed a shallow smile and said, "Within ten years? Isn't that too short? ”
"How so? With your talent, it has been long enough to lay the foundation in ten years, you look at that Lin Xin, it's not that he didn't do anything, he just got the favor of the emperor, isn't it also mixed up now? ”
mentioned Lin Xin, Wu Qiongan's eyes seemed to be a little clearer, he frowned, and wanted to refute, in fact, Lin Xin has real talent and learning, if it weren't for the fact that he and himself have a common hatred, he is a friend worth making deeply.
However, he was soon attracted by the lady's words: "After a while, the teacher will be chosen for the princess, and the emperor will let the princess choose it herself, and then she can only depend on her fate." ”
"I just have to do what you say and I'll get this position?"
