Punishment World – Tea House Talk (114)
"General Wang, I'm glad to meet you." A faint smile hung on Murong Li's face, neither too sycophant nor too detached, making people look as comfortable as a spring breeze.
Wang Qingge smiled and arched his hand: "Wang has just arrived in the capital, but he has been entangled in mundane things recently, so he didn't come to visit the third young master properly, and I hope that the third young master Haihan!" ”
Wang Qingge's words are not humble, although he is a member of the capital, but now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, there are few wars, and the military attache has long fallen behind at this time, not to mention the military attache who has no merits, and the Murong family has been a civil official for generations, and the family from which the civil official was born is very valued by the emperor, although Murong Li himself has not been crowned, nor has he obtained any position in the officialdom, but his father is a big official, no matter how bad it is, the eldest brother of the family is also a civil official of the third grade, and many ministers in the court also have to sell Murong Li a face, And Murong Li's second brother has a good way of doing business, his industries are all over the capital, and Murong Li is also involved in the business world, so it is calculated that Murong Li's officialdom and shopping malls are involved, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary noble sons, Wang Qingge only received the holy decree to return to the capital, and his foundation in the capital is unstable, and it is not without reason that he is so polite to Murong Li.
"General Wang, where are these words? General Wang defended his family and defended the country for half his life, Murong Li admired it, and General Wang's words made Young Master Ben dislike to hear it. Murong Li pretended to be angry.
Wang Qingge was stunned for a moment, isn't the third young master in this rumor always have a strange temperament and is elusive, how could he be so polite to himself?
Wang Qingge smiled bitterly: "Now that Wenchen is reused, the military attache has long had no hope. ”
Murong Li pondered for a moment, although what he said was a little biased, but it was also a reflection of the current situation in the capital.
"General Wang must not be presumptuous, the Holy Lord is still counting on you to defend this great mountain and river!" Murong Li comforted.
"yes." Wang Qingge also nodded, although the current situation is not friendly to military attachés, but on the day of war, as a general, he must go to the battlefield!
Seeing that Wang Qingge's face was different, Murong Li's eyes moved slightly.
"How has General Wang been doing well in recent days?" The voice is gentle and the tone is kind, making people feel as if they are relatives by their side and care about themselves.
Wang Qingge's eyes were slightly red for no reason.
"Third Young Master Lao cares, everything is fine." Wang Qingge was grateful, since he came to the capital, he knew how unpopular he was as a military attache in the territory of Wenchen, and his wife and children were still in his hometown, and the soldiers were still guarding the border, and he had been alone for more than three months.
Murong Li was observant, but he didn't poke it directly, he reached out and hugged Wang Qingge's shoulder affectionately.
"If there is anything difficult, General Wang said that it doesn't matter, Ben Shao has many connections, and he may be able to help." The words are sincere, and when it comes to helping people, it is also free and natural, not at all as arrogant as an ordinary noble son.
Wang Qingge hesitated, as if he was struggling with whether to open this mouth.
Murong Li didn't urge, just waited for Wang Qingge to think about it himself.
Sure enough, after half a cup of tea, Wang Qingge slowly spoke.
"The third young master expected it to be good, Wang does have something to ask for."
Murong Li hooked his lips and smiled, very good, he was thinking of finding a reason to meet this general who came from the border, but he didn't expect General Wang to send it to the door himself.
"General Wang, wait a minute, there are many people on the street, but it's not very convenient to discuss matters, why don't we change places and sit down to discuss carefully?" Murong Li suggested very intimately.
Wang Qingge looked at the crowd of people who seemed to be coming and going, and from time to time a young girl cast a shy glance at the beautiful man in front of him, and nodded suddenly.
"What the third young master said is very true, let's find another place to speak."
Murong Li smiled faintly, and the red-clothed young man with red lips and white teeth was like a scenery on the street.
In a tea shop with chic decoration and luxurious elegance everywhere, Murong Li looks leisurely and makes tea freely.
"Young Master Murong, this teahouse ......"
Murong Li raised his eyes, and unexpectedly saw Wang Qingge's restless appearance, this tea shop is nominally a shop under the name of Murong Shang, in fact, as early as a few years ago, Murong Li took over this tea shop from Murong Shang, the outside of the tea shop does not look special, but the inside is he spent a lot of money to transform, not only extraordinary, but also chic and abnormal, it is no wonder that Wang Qingge, who has always been guarding the bitter cold land on the border, will be a little surprised when he sees such a tea shop at first glance.
Wang Qingge's eyes looked at the scene and everything in the tea shop, and found that there was no place that was not exquisite, nothing was not luxurious, and it was inevitable that he was a little depressed in his heart, he guarded the border all the year round, without merit, and also with hard work, and the children of the noble families in the capital enjoyed such a luxurious life without feeling, Wang Qingge was a little difficult to accept for a while.
Of course, Murong Li understood what Wang Qingge was thinking at this time, but he didn't plan to explain anything.
"This teahouse is in my name, and General Wang can enjoy it at any time." Murong Li chuckled and spoke, her posture calm.
The corners of Wang Qingge's mouth twitched, feeling that this tea shop was opened by someone else, this life is really, tsk.
Even though there were many dissatisfactions in his heart, Wang Qingge did not forget that he came to ask someone to do something today, so he still had a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Third Young Master, it's just that I'm afraid Wang won't be in the capital for long."
Murong Li's delicate eyebrows raised, this is about to start getting down to business?
"What does General Wang mean by this?" Murong Li's face was puzzled.
Wang Qingge sighed: "Forgive Wang for not hiding it, my Wang family has practiced martial arts for generations, and it is only a mixed official and a half-position in my generation, and Wang Mou has never cared about the officialdom of the court, nor does he care, no matter how they fight for power, Wang only needs to guard his own border passes, but my wife, my biological father is an official of the sixth grade of the court, this is not a high-ranking official, but I don't know how to anger the saint a few days ago, and I will be demoted to the southwest in the near future, my father-in-law is old and frail, my wife is worried, Wang has no real power, and there is no way, Therefore, I hereby came to Young Master Murong to get a good idea. ”
In the future, Wang Qingge seemed to be relieved, but when he was not sure whether Murong Li would help him, Wang Qingge was still worried, he was soft-spoken, and he had always been taken care of by his father-in-law, and now that his father-in-law had an accident, if he couldn't help his father-in-law, he would not be able to resist his father-in-law's promotion and appreciation, and his wife would only be afraid that he would have a grudge against him in the future.
"So that's it, what's so hard about it?" Murong Li readily agreed.
Wang Qingge was slightly surprised, a little incredulous: "The third young master no longer thinks about it? ”
Murong Li smiled: "I have also heard a little about General Wang's father-in-law, this is not the fault of the excerpt, but the time of handing the excerpt is just unfortunate, the emperor has no intention of exile, and it is not impossible to take the accompanying officers and soldiers a little bit on the road, and it is not impossible to bring the old man home, plus the old man has made meritorious contributions to my dynasty, and the emperor will turn a blind eye to the old feelings." ”
Wang Qingge was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you Young Master Murong for reminding me, Wang will do it!" ”
"It's hard work, why worry about it." Murong Li took a sip of tea, and the mist was so thick that people couldn't see his expression clearly.
Wang Qingge paused, his expression was solemn, and he arched his hand.
"Today's matter, thank you so much Young Master Murong, my father-in-law's matter is urgent, today is that Wang owes Young Master Murong a great favor, I will definitely come to thank him in person another day!" Wang Qingge's words were sonorous and powerful.
"General Wang, go and do something, Murong Mansion is waiting for General Wang at any time." Murong Li got up to send him off.
Wang Qingge's face put a grateful smile on his face: "Please ask Young Master Murong to stay, Wang will leave." With that, he turned around and strode out of the teahouse.
Looking at Wang Qingge's departing back, an unknown glimmer of light flashed in Murong Li's eyes.
Although the emperor is indeed a little guilty, but the holy decree has been issued, and it cannot be taken back, what he said to Wang Qingge just now is only half-truths and half-truths, as for the exile after three days, he can send more people to cover people's eyes and ears and help him abscond, after all, what he is doing is not just Wang Qingge's gratitude, he wants Wang Qingge to owe him a great favor Murong Li!
Murong Li twisted the red clothes, raised his head and drank the tea in his hand.
Concubine Ji in the ancestral hall didn't know how much time had passed, as if she was isolated from the world, she couldn't breathe a trace of fresh air outside, and she couldn't feel if anyone had walked in, she knew that the sky was already bright, and from the hazy light shining into the window, she knew that the cold night had passed, and what she was most concerned about was when Murong Feng would appear?
Man Wu must have set off to find Murong Feng last night, and after the night passed, Murong Feng didn't come over, could it be that he misestimated Murong Feng's affection for the original owner?
"Squeak!" The door of the ancestral hall was slammed open!
A strong light shone in, Concubine Ji reflexively raised her hand to cover her eyes, and the cold wind outside the door poured in mercilessly at this moment.
"You're the concubine?!" The person who came was a small guy, not very old, but his face showed a ruthless color.
Ji Feiyin, who forced herself to adapt to the light, slowly put her arms down, and the figure of the little girl in front of her was ghosted in the eyes of Ji Feiyin, who had been hungry all night, and Concubine Ji suddenly felt a trace of clarity at this moment because of her chaotic brain.
"Yes, you're here to let me out?" Concubine Ji endured her dry throat and slowly spoke.
The little girl smiled strangely, and did not answer, but slowly walked over to Concubine Ji.
Concubine Ji saw this scene, and the alarm bell in her brain was loud.
"What are you here for?!"
The little girl's snake-like cold eyes looked at Concubine Ji without turning.
"On the orders of the old lady, I will send you to the land of smoke and willows."
