Chapter 20: Lost and Grown, Having a Good Solution
said that Wang Mang pulled Wang Jingyan out of the back door of the hall, and he didn't think much about any emotional matters in his heart, but continued to think about the brutal faint king "Wang Mang" in the storyteller's mouth.
This thought, but he forgot the time, and he forgot to talk to Wang Jingyan. Just pulled her to turn around, this trail goes, that trail runs.
Wang Jingyan was grabbed by Wang Mang's little hand like this and ran around, her heart was fluttering and jumping, her mind was in chaos, and she didn't have any sober thoughts. It's just shy and tight, afraid to speak, and short of breath.
Between running east and west, she felt that Wang Mang was indeed a little weird, very different from ordinary people. There is an indescribable feeling in my heart, anyway, I feel that it is not impossible to marry him.
I don't know how long I ran, Wang Jingyan gradually calmed down and began to look at the environment on all sides.
She saw that Wang Mang didn't mean to speak, so she had to ask first: "Wang Mang, you let go of me first, where is this?" How do you know what I mean? ”
When Wang Mang heard the words, he was shocked, and his whole person seemed to be struck by thunder, and his thoughts suddenly returned to reality.
Let go of Wang Jingyan's hand, glanced around, and said with a red face: "What, Wang Jingyan, I don't know where this is." But it doesn't matter, this must be my royal family's territory. ”
"What? You don't even know where this is? This is your royal family, didn't you deliberately tease me and make fun of me? Wang Jingyan exclaimed.
"This...."
Wang Mang scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I won't tell you, since I got sick yesterday, I don't remember much about the past." Just like you, like you just arrived. As for why I know what you mean, it's because someone told me. ”
"Is that so?"
Wang Jingyan was a little uneasy, she didn't want to run around in a strange place, and she panicked: "Wang Mang, why don't we go back?" Wait a minute, my father and aunt should be worried...."
Speaking of this, she was suddenly stunned, and then became anxious, covered her face with her hands and stomped her feet: "It's not good now, I don't have the face to see people." My father and aunt will think I ......"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and she felt like she was about to cry.
Only then did she think that the problem was a little not good, where was the reason for meeting someone for the first time and then running around with others. spread out, not to mention the ruined reputation, it is normal to be pointed at the backbone and scolded to death.
Wang Mang saw that she was in a hurry, and comforted: "You don't have to be afraid, mother is not that kind of person, we can do whatever we want." After all, you are a guest, and I should lead you around.
Besides, even if there is no such thing, your father and my father are sworn brothers, and you are equivalent to my sister. I'll lead my sister around, it's nothing, no one will gossip. ”
After a few words of comfort, Wang Jingyan felt a lot better, not as anxious as she was just now.
Wang Mang saw that she was in a good mood, so he chatted with her, diverted her attention, and looked for a way back by the way.
After walking for a while, a small guy walked out of the corner and happened to be seen by Wang Mang.
"Who, stop for Ben Shao." Wang Mang shouted.
The little guy heard the voice, turned his head and looked, a little puzzled, and didn't recognize Wang Mang.
Wang Mang usually stays sick in bed and stays at home, plus the number of people in the Wang family is large, I am afraid that there are not thousands, and there are dozens of young masters of various descendants, and it is normal for some young masters who have just come not to know the young masters.
This little guy came to Wang Mang, didn't dare to be careless, and saluted, "The little one greets the young master, the young grandmother." I don't know which house you are from, young master? The little one has just been here for less than half a year, and I don't know the dignity of the young master and grandmother, and I hope that the young master and young grandmother will forgive me. ”
Wang Jingyan heard this person call herself a young grandmother, and the shyness that had just subsided immediately rose again. It's blushing and it's hard to talk.
Wang Mang replied: "I am Wang Mang of Rongfu, and this time I am leading your young grandmother around." I don't come here often, but tell me which house this is? ”
The six major descendants of the Wang family each have a main mansion, which are Zun, Ning, Rong, Kang, Fu and Sheng. Wang Mang's father was the third in line, and he inherited the Rong Mansion. The rest of the collateral are not in the Lord's Mansion.
Although there are also some collateral family titles, they must be subject to the corresponding Liufu moderation.
For example, Wang Mang's own uncle, he must be controlled by the Rong Mansion, and Wang Mang has the right to take back the title and return it to himself. Unless he already has enough ability to match the entire family, he can disobey the order.
"Rongfu Wang Mang?"
When the little guy heard this, he was immediately shocked and very uneasy, and he couldn't help but take three steps back.
Wang Mang forced the four major families to come this morning, and even the knife was moved, but such a major event spread throughout the Wang family. The little guys were shocked by Wang Mang's courage and majesty, and they were a little afraid.
Wang Jingyan heard Wang Mang introduce to the little girl, saying that she was his young grandmother, and immediately knew that she couldn't run now. I don't even have a chance to talk back, and I can't marry myself.
After thinking about it for a while, he saw that the little guy was a little afraid of Wang Mang, and couldn't help asking, "Wang Mang, how do I think he is a little afraid of you?" What bad things have you done before? He doesn't know you, but he's still afraid of you. ”
"Who knows."
Wang Mang looked impatient and shouted, "What is your name?" Which province? Why are you running around? Why did you see Ben Shao go backwards, could it be that Ben Shao would still eat you? ”
Seeing Wang Mang's temper, the little servant was even more uneasy, and hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake: "Young Master Wang Mang, the slave should die, the slave should die." It is rumored in the house that the young master has used a knife against the Huo family and the other four families, and the slave is a little afraid of the young master's majesty, and begs the young master to spare his life. The minion's name is Zhang Gen, and he is the servant of the young master "Yu Chang" of the Zunfu, and this place is the Zunfu. ”
"Honorable Mansion? Grandpa's mansion? ”
Wang Mang ordered the little servant Zhang Gen to stand up and said secretly: "It's all in the grandfather's territory, if you don't go in and see it, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
"Okay, since this is the Zun Mansion, then you will lead me in to see the grandfather." Wang Mang shouted.
"Yes, young master!"
Zhang Gen trembled and frightened, for fear that Wang Mang would make a mistake, so he led Wang Mang all the way in the direction of the patriarch's courtyard.
Wang Jingyan listened to Zhang Gen's explanation, and then he knew why he was afraid of Wang Mang, not because Wang Mang had done something bad that angered people and resented people, and he felt a little relieved.
After walking for a long time, Zhang Gen led Wang Mang and the two to the door of the patriarch's courtyard, and said a few words to the little guy guarding the door.
The doorkeeper was startled and hurriedly went in to report the situation.
After a while, the doorkeeper said to Wang Mang: "Master, please let the young master in." ”
Wang Mang said to Wang Jingyan: "Are you going in with me, or are you just waiting here for a while?" Or do I ask them to send you back first? ”
"I'll just wait here for a while." Wang Jingyan replied.
"It's okay, I'll come out as soon as possible."
Wang Mang said to Zhang Gen, who led him: "Give me a good life and serve the young grandmother, if the young grandmother is very dissatisfied, I will ask you." ”
"Yes, young master!" Zhang Gen replied.
Wang Mang nodded and followed the gatekeeper into the courtyard.
Passing through the courtyard rockery creek courtyard attic, I came to the patriarch's study, and the doorkeeper knocked on the door a few times.
The patriarch Wang Gong, who was staying inside, clearly expected that Wang Mang had arrived, so he said, "It's Wang Mang's grandson who has arrived, right?" Come in! ”
Wang Mang pushed open the door and entered the room, and at a glance saw Wang Gongming sitting on the Taishi chair with a book and reading it.
Moved to the place where Wang Gongming was a foot away, bowed down and said, "Grandson to meet grandpa!" ”
"Excuse me!"
Wang Gongming put down the book in his hand and let Wang Mang sit down and look at it for a while.
He had just discussed with his son Wang Xiannian how to deal with Wang Mang's matter, but unexpectedly, the head of the Huo family suddenly came to the door, saying that he wanted to form an alliance against the Sun, Yang, and Zhang families. was about to ponder more of the reasons, but Wang Mang came over, which surprised him a little.
"Wang Mang, how did you have time to come? How are you doing now? ”
"Back to grandpa's words, my grandson's health is fine. Just now, my grandson was idle for a while, so I unconsciously came to you, grandpa. Thinking that since I was here, it would be very inappropriate if I didn't come to ask Ann to see him. This time disturbed grandpa, and I hope grandpa will forgive me. Wang Mang replied.
"I see? I said you don't like to move around, why did you come to me today? ”
Wang Gongming understood the situation for a while, and then asked: "The patriarch of the Huo family has just come, and he went to your mother first when he came, so you must have known his intentions, right?" In your opinion, how should our Wang family deal with it? ”
Wang Mang thought for a while and replied: "Grandpa, the head of the Huo family did know that his grandson did know, and said that he wanted to join forces with our Wang family to deal with the Sun family. However, this matter is a big matter, and the grandson does not understand political affairs, and second, he does not understand military affairs, so he does not dare to speak nonsense. ”
"It's okay, I just wanted to hear your juniors' opinions. If you have any ideas, just listen to them, it doesn't matter if you are wrong, everyone has come this way. ”
Wang Gongming was very suspicious in his heart, Wang Mang obviously offended the Huo family to death. It stands to reason that even if the Huo family does not work against their own Wang family, at least they will not get along with each other.
But just now, the patriarch of the Huo family came to the door in person and said that he wanted to unite, which made him puzzled, and he was sure that there must be a reason.
I had the heart to ask Xue Fengyi, but because of what happened today, it was not appropriate to ask now. So I planned to delay for a few days and ask again. Now that Wang Mang has arrived, he is happy to test his tone first.
Wang Mang thought for a while, combined with the fact that he was going to run away with his mother, and slowly replied: "Grandpa, since this is the case, then the grandson is talking nonsense." ”
"Well, if you say yes, it's fine." Wang Gongming said with a smile.
"Grandpa, in my opinion, this matter cannot be done for the time being, but you can wait patiently for some time to watch the movement. Of course, at this time, our Wang family can show favor slightly and put on a posture that wants to form an alliance, but the other party needs to show sincerity first. But don't get too close, lest they turn their faces and we won't be able to get out.
After a while, we can decide on the next step according to their sincerity. Also, in this process, our Wang family can't just look at their sincerity, we also have to make two-handed arrangements.
First, prepare for joint arrangements. Second, he is not ready to unite with the Huo family, but in turn with the Sun family and other families. And according to the specific situation, the news can be sold to them at the appropriate time to provoke their four major families to break up.
At that time, even if the Huo family and us turn their faces first, then it will be impossible for the other three major families to unite with the Huo family again. In this way, our Wang family will naturally have nothing to do.
It's just that when you act, you have to be very careful. In particular, at this stage of showing favor and observing their sincerity, we must not be sloppy, otherwise it will definitely cause big trouble. When secretly contacting the Sun family, it is even more important to keep it secret, which is the key. Wang Mang replied.
"Huh?"
When Wang Gongming heard this, he thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up suddenly, and he exclaimed, "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful." No matter what the Huo family is, let's not move around first, show favor slightly, and see how sincere he is. In this process, secretly contacted the Sun family and others, showed weakness first, and sold a benefit.
If it is judged that the Huo family's sincerity is not enough, tell the Sun family the news in time and provoke them. Well, well, this not only has the wonder of the dark Chen Cang of the plank road, but also has the effect of watching the fire from the other side to sow discord. In this way, my Wang family is as stable as Mount Tai. It is not only expected to break the union of the four of them, but also to see them fight each other, and in the end, there will be no loss. ”
Wang Gongming stood up, came to Wang Mang, looked up and down, and was very satisfied with the idea, "Wang Mang, I didn't expect you to have such foresight and strategy, see the moves, and find out the most favorable development direction from them." It seems that in the past, your uncle and I neglected you. ”
"Thank you grandpa for the compliment, this is just grandchildren's nonsense, and it must not be taken seriously."
Wang Mang did not dare to take credit and was very modest.
His idea does have the intention of helping the Wang family get rid of risks, but the most important thing is to benefit himself. Because if the Huo family shows goodwill, no matter how sincere he is, he will definitely get the most benefits.
After reaping enough benefits and escaping, the Huo family will definitely react and not form an alliance with the Wang family. At this time, the Wang family will judge that the Huo family is not sincere enough, and promptly sell the news that the Huo family united with their own Wang family to deal with the Sun family and the other three to their Sun family to sow discord. In this way, the Huo family is not a person inside and out, and they have lost money, and the effect of the four major families jointly dealing with the Wang family immediately collapsed.
"Grandson can't be so modest, I dare say that there is absolutely no second person in our Wang family who can come up with this wonderful idea so quickly." Wang Gongming laughed, as if seeing the sun through the clouds, very happy.
Earlier, he was still very embarrassed, and he didn't know whether it was better to form an alliance or not to form an alliance. I am afraid that if I make a wrong move, I will lose a lot. Now as soon as this idea comes out, even if it is a loss, it will not lose anywhere, and it will definitely not shake the foundation.
After praising for a while, Wang Gongming continued to talk to Wang Mang about some specific arrangements, but Wang Mang was not happy.
Wang Jingyan was still waiting outside the door, he couldn't bear to let this woman wait for a long time, and replied: "Grandpa, the grandson can't judge specific things, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense." And it's not too early now, the grandson should go back, or the mother will definitely punish him. ”
"Well, then you go back first, and say hello to your mother for me. If you have time, you can come to me from time to time, and don't be angry. Wang Gongming said with a smile.
"Yes, grandpa!"
Wang Mang said a blessing and hurriedly walked out.
said that Xue Fengyi's side, she and Wang Yuanhai were talking happily, planning to get married, and completely forgot the time.
At this time, Wang Mang's maidservant Yin Rong's face was a little uneasy, and she wanted to stop.
Finally, he gritted his teeth violently, came to Xue Fengyi and knelt down and said, "Mrs. Qiyu, although the young master has recovered from a serious illness, his memory is still damaged. Now that the young master and Miss Jingyan have been gone for a long time and haven't come back, I'm afraid they haven't lost their way. Do you think you have to send someone to look for it? ”
"Huh?"
Xue Fengyi was taken aback: "If there is really this possibility, our Wang family is very big, Mang'er didn't even recognize me before, and now I go out with Jingyan, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no such lost situation." Yin Rong, you're right. Quickly pass on my words, and let the housekeeper Wang Da send someone to find them, and he must find them for me as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, ma'am!" Yin Rong hurriedly ran down and called the housekeeper Wang Da.
