Chapter 553: The Visit Failed

After leaving Wang's mansion, the secret joy in Shi Bin's heart finally appeared, and he became happy. Let him, an atheist, sigh at God's favor. Not because of anything else, just because this time not only solved his two very practical problems, but also figured out what Wang Lixin likes.

As he walked, he couldn't help but sigh that he was 'wise', accepted Xu Feng's suggestion to send a book, and understood Wang Lixin's preferences in the spirit of 'not giving up until the goal is achieved'.

When he turned the corner and entered the street of his mansion, he stepped into the air, and Shi Bin stumbled into the person who came. Due to the different 'feel', as soon as Shi Bin hit the person, he immediately bounced away and stood up straight. was about to apologize, but when he looked up, he found that it was Jia Ling who was shopping with Sai Xishi. This made Shi Bin feel very regretful, regretting why he stood up straight so quickly.

As if seeing through Xiao Jiujiu in Shi Bin's heart, Jia Ling coughed lightly and said, "How is it, how about Wang Lixin?" ”

"It's okay, the things are delivered, and he told me what he likes." Shi Bin said with a smile.

Hearing this good news, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were overjoyed, and Jia Ling immediately asked: "Tell us what you talked about with Wang Lixin, and what are Wang Lixin's preferences?" Let's talk about what to do next. Sai Xi Shi also smiled and urged on the side.

Seeing that Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were so impatient, Shi Bin naturally complied with the wishes of the two tigresses and immediately spoke.

"Actually, it's very simple, at the beginning, I said that I couldn't understand the official documents written by some officials that were too gorgeous, and Wang Lixin told me to read "Thousand Character Wen", "Shangshu", "Analects" and "Book of Songs", which can be regarded as a kind of accumulation of knowledge. Then he said that if I felt that I was more than capable of governing such a large area, he suggested that I read more "Zizhi Tongjian", and said that if there is something I really don't understand, ask Xiaoling, the eldest lady from a scholarly family. Speaking of this, Shi Bin deliberately sighed and rested.

Obedient to hear half of the natural discomfort, but looking at the two of them who had their appetite for their husband, and sighed with that look, knowing that Shi Bin must have suffered some grievances. Therefore, Jia Ling and the others no longer urged, but coaxed Shi Bin well, and it was definitely after all the good words were said that Shi Bin regained his spirits.

"You also know that Wang Lixin is cunning and cunning, and he didn't say anything when he first asked, and he also issued three eviction orders in a row, plus two when he entered the door, this time your husband and I received a total of five eviction orders at his place!" If you don't have a face, you are invincible', the ancients did not deceive me! Husband, I didn't leave there, I wanted to chat with Wang Lixin, but in the end he couldn't stand it and had to say his hobby: he likes good books. Shi Bin said with a bitter face.

As soon as he heard that Shi Bin had actually received five eviction orders from Wang Lixin, Sai Xishi, the female bandit leader, was naturally furious, and immediately drew a knife and rushed into Wang's mansion to cut Wang Lixin. Shi Bin and Jia Ling saw that things were not good, and immediately stepped forward to suppress Sai Xishi, Shi Bin persuaded: "Xi Shi, husband, I have suffered such a big grievance to get this news, if you go to cut Wang Lixin now, then won't my grievances be in vain?" What's more, this person is dedicated to the people and has a lot of city government, he is a rare good official, and I must let him serve. If he dies and can't open his mind, then you chop him up, is that good? ”

Now that we know that Wang Lixin likes books, we have to find the best books to give to Wang Lixin. Those ordinary good books are no longer good. It has to be the same level as the book I gave to Jia Nidao last time, and it has to be a unique book. At this time, Shi Bin really wanted to go to Yangzhou again and buy a few more good books from the old man in the bookstore, but unfortunately this was too unkind, and wasting a lot of time definitely outweighed the loss, so Shi Bin just thought about it and gave up.

"Xiaoling, I'm afraid I'll have to work hard for you this time to help find a good book, it has to be a unique book, otherwise it is meaningless. Sai Xishi and I won't go, it's useless to go, just let Xu Feng protect you. ”

Jia Ling has always disliked others pointing fingers, especially in this kind of thing that she is good at but others are not good at. Shi Bin's attitude is her favorite, so she quickly agreed to be tired and didn't complain at all. Just reminded Shi Bin not to be stingy at that time, because loneliness is not cheap.

In the end, he was born in a scholarly family, but in an hour and a half, Jia Ling used 1,000 taels of silver to retrieve Hua Tuo's famous book "The Book of Green Bags" and "Returning to Tibet" and "Lianshan" in the Book of Changes. With "Guizang" and "Lianshan", the "I Ching" is complete, which is a great temptation for anyone who loves books, and whoever gets it will be ecstatic.

This made Shi Bin like a treasure, and he was more confident in winning over Wang Lixin, and praising Jia Ling was definitely eloquent, and he became very domineering when he walked by himself. Although I felt that Shi Bin at this time was a little funny, I also understood, so Jia Ling and Sai Xishi shut up and did not persuade, Ren Shibin was like this.

Until he returned home, Shi Bin's joy had not passed, and he kept holding the three books "Green Capsule Book", "Returning to Tibet" and "Lianshan" to read, as if he was looking at his own son. Later, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi finally couldn't bear it anymore and both launched a surge. Jia Ling said that if you read too many books and break the books, don't try to achieve your goal, and Sai Xishi said that if you ignore herself and Jia Ling like this, don't think about entering their room again.

Frightened by this, Shi Bin came to his senses, immediately put down the book and placed it neatly, and personally put it in the gift box, ready to give it to Wang Lixin at any time.

Because the interval between the first few visits was not long, and they often came into contact again during the office, Shi Bin and Jia Ling decided to deliver books after a while.

In fact, Shaanxi and Hedong are in a state of ruin, Shi Bin's things are not a lot, but he just threw some not very important things to Wang Lixin, anyway, he is a workaholic and will not mind. And now that he has decided to send books every once in a while, Shi Bin's work has naturally become 'active'.

According to Shi Bin, he read "Shangshu", "Analects" and "Zizhi Tongjian" according to what Wang Lixin said, and asked Jia Ling shamelessly, and slowly Shi Bin found that his ability to read official documents had indeed improved a lot, and his thinking about governing the place was much clearer. This made him very happy, and he wanted to win over Wang Lixin more and more.

A month passed in a blink of an eye, and Shi Bin felt that it was time to visit Wang Lixin again. In order to be foolproof, Shi Bin ordered Xu Feng to call the guard next to Wang Lixin who saw the money and asked about Wang Lixin's situation.

According to the guard, Wang Lixin has not changed much since Shi Bin returned to the house last time, and he has not received any official documents from the imperial court, so he is still focused on his work and working overtime every day.

After hearing this, Shi Bin, Jia Ling, Sai Xishi and Xu Feng were all very happy. Jia Ling even asked Wang Lixin what his attitude was towards the three books sent by Shi Bin. The answer given by the guard disappointed everyone a little, because as soon as Shi Bin left, Wang Lixin only flipped through the book and put it on the shelf, and he has not read it again.

After the guard left, Shi Bin and the others discussed. "What do you think should be done?" Shi Bin asked first.

"What can I do? As long as Wang Lixin doesn't hate books, we must send them. Otherwise, the more than 1,000 taels of silver would have been spent too unjustly. Sai Xi Shi said quickly.

"Sister Xi Shi is right, it must be sent, and it must be sent quickly, maybe when the official document of the imperial court to Wang Lixin's comfort will arrive. You can't let them get a head start. Jia Ling also said with certainty.

"My lord, the two ladies are right, the sooner the better. In my humble opinion, it would be good to go tonight. ”

"Tonight?" Shi Bin didn't expect it to be so fast, so he asked, "Xu Feng, tell me why tonight?" ”

"My lord asked the guard just now, and the guard also took the silver and left. Most of the people who see money like to show off, if Wang Lixin finds out the clues, wouldn't the adults be very passive? Therefore, the sooner adults go, the better, which can achieve the goal and reduce the risk of failure. ”

Seeing that Xu Feng was very reasonable, Shi Bin agreed to visit Wang Lixin tonight. Soon it was time to turn on the lights, and Shi Bin set off for Wang's mansion. It's just an awkward situation waiting for him

As soon as he saw Shi Bin's figure, the doorman of the Wang family immediately began to close. If he didn't have an official body, Shi Bin would have wanted to rush over to ask, but now that he is an official and a member of the party, he naturally can't run wild on the street and lose his appearance, so he can only send Xu Feng to ask.

It's a pity that Xu Feng was one step behind despite his best efforts, and when he arrived in front of Wang's Mansion, the door was already closed.

Don't think about it, this is aimed at him Shi Bin, Wang Lixin must have said to the porter that as long as he sees Shi Bin, he will close the door immediately. And this porter also faithfully carried out Wang Lixin's orders.

It was impossible to smash open the door, so Shi Bin could only walk over slowly and ask the concierge to open the door.

Who knew that the concierge didn't even answer at first, if it weren't for Xu Feng threatening him to burn the Wang Mansion if he didn't make a sound, I'm afraid he would continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Do you know who I am?" Shi Bin asked.

"Yes, of course the villain knows, you are the famous envoy Shi Bin Shi along the river." The porter replied apprehensively.

"If you know, why did you close the door when you saw me coming? Did you tell me? Shi Bin feigned anger.

"The order was given by the adults of my family, but it was never deliberately directed at the adults." The porter replied again, still in the same tone of sincerity and fear.

"Then open the door!" Xu Feng said angrily, "Do you want to shut my family out of the door, why are you so unruly?" ”

"It's not that the villain doesn't understand the rules, but that the adults of my family have been in poor health for the past two days, and they have ordered that they will not see any guests for these days, and they want the villain to apologize to the visiting adults." The porter explained.

"Since your family is sick, you want me to go and see him, how can I not care about him as a colleague and friend? Open the door. ”

"Lord Shi, the villain thanked you for my family, but the villain really didn't dare to open the door." The porter said with a crying voice: "Although my family is kind, the family rules are extremely strict, and if you violate the family rules, you will be punished or even expelled from the Wang Mansion." It's not easy to beg for food now, so please let the adults go and let the villains go."

Seeing that the porter was still not open, Xu Feng came to the real fire and immediately drew his sword to face him, although this could not hurt anyone. And Shi Bin didn't take long to press Xu Feng's knife down, and said, "Okay, then we won't bother Lord Wang today." But I have to ask you a favor. ”

"Your Excellency, please speak." As soon as the porter heard that Shi Bin was leaving, he immediately said happily.

"Give me these books to your family, Lord Wang, I believe he will like it." After leaving the book, Shi Bin left Wang Mansion with Xu Feng.

On the way back to the house, Shi Bin frowned, didn't say a word, and stepped on the ground step by step when he walked, hating to step on the stone road out of the depression, he was definitely very angry.

Of course, you can't let Shi Bin be like this, and he will hurt his body a lot, especially if he is stuffy like this, so it didn't take long for Xu Feng to come to comfort him.

"My lord, I think it's not necessarily a good thing that I didn't enter Wang's Mansion this time." Xu Feng said with a smile.

Isn't it necessarily a good thing? What kind of nonsense is this, isn't it a bad thing that you haven't even entered the door after preparing for so long? Therefore, as soon as he heard this, Shi Bin looked at Xu Feng angrily.

But seeing that Xu Feng still had a relaxed smile on his face, he said, "My lord, there are two sides to everything. Now Lord Wang doesn't dare to see you, which means that he has realized your intentions. Since he didn't have a showdown and didn't explicitly refuse, it shows that he wants to be alone. At the same time, it also shows that he has no malice towards adults, and is even a little afraid, afraid that he will really be co-opted by adults and become a traitor to the Great Song Dynasty. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, please take your time, and dare to say that Wang Lixin will definitely take refuge in you in the end. ”

"There seems to be some truth to what you're saying." Shi Bin nodded and said, "Okay, then take your time, I'll put up with this breath today." ”
