Chapter 778: One Thing Descends One Thing
"Bang-"
In the front hall of the main house of the South Garden of King Su's Mansion, a delicate vase fell to the ground from the corner of Wen Qi's hand and broke in half. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before Wen Qi could react, Zong Wei Zhou Pu, who had been following him for the past two days, took out a booklet from his arms, and said while recording with a blank face: "On the sixth day of the seventh month, I broke a Dingtao Song porcelain, four thousand taels ......."
Hearing this, Wen Qi suddenly jumped to his feet, looked back at Zhou Pu and said angrily: "Hey, did you do it on purpose?" ”
It turned out that Wen Qi saw that the Dingtao Song porcelain was quite exquisite, and out of appreciation, he held it in his hand and wanted to look at it carefully, after all, for a hard-working student like him, Dingtao Song porcelain was simply a luxury that he would never have the opportunity to touch in his life.
Unexpectedly, just as he was concentrating on admiring the exquisite pattern of the ceramic bottle in his hand, Zongwei Zhou Pu walked behind him silently, and deliberately said quietly in a position very close to him: "This thing is worth thousands of taels, Mr. Wen should be careful." ”
However, before he finished speaking, Wen Qi, who was startled by his sudden opening, subconsciously shook his hands.
As a result, a valuable and delicate Dingtao Song porcelain became a pile of useless porcelain pieces.
"What? …… Mr. Wen's words are incomprehensible. ”
Facing Wen Qi's questioning, Zong Wei Zhou Pu had a blank and ignorant expression, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes as if the conspiracy had succeeded.
Seeing this, Wen Qi was so angry that he couldn't speak.
It's not that he's seen through anything, in fact, similar things have happened several times in the past few days, and Wen Qi doesn't need to think about it to know the reason.
Holding back the anger in his heart, Wen Qi said coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with me, you hurt me." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Pu was not in a hurry at all, took the booklet in his hand into his arms, and said with a smile: "You can keep this for the housekeeper." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at a subordinate of the mansion who hurriedly walked out of the hall, and the corners of his mouth raised a little inexplicable smile.
Although he felt that Zhou Pu's smile was a little infiltrating, Wen Qi was not afraid in his heart, and he was not even afraid of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, let alone the steward of the Su Palace.
Thinking of this, Wen Qi also calmed down, sat at the table with a light snort, and poured himself a cup of tea.
It's just that for some reason, Wen Qi always felt that Zong Wei Zhou Pu and the other two subordinates who were cleaning in the house, these eyes looked at him, and there was a faint sympathy and pity.
Could it be that the steward of the Su Wangfu has a big background?
For some reason, Wen Qi was a little flustered.
I don't know how long it was, but suddenly there was a scream at the door.
Wen Qi subconsciously turned his head to look, and was surprised to see a short man standing at the door of the front hall...... Not? Little girl?
I saw that the little girl, dressed as a man, wearing the clothes of a housekeeper, followed by several strong housekeepers, at this moment a pair of beautiful eyes were staring at the broken vase on the ground, grasping something in the void with both hands, and the expression was crazy.
"He did it." Zong Wei Zhou Pu immediately stretched out his hand and pointed at Wen Qi.
At the same time, the rest of the people in the house also pointed at Wen Qi in unison.
Before Wen Qi could react, he saw that the girl who seemed to be the chief steward in the palace rushed to Wen Qi in a few steps, crossed his waist with his left hand, and poked Wen Qi's heart with his right hand, and scolded angrily: "Is there something wrong with you!" …… Do you know how much that Dingtao Song porcelain is worth? Looking at your poor and sour appearance, it's not enough to sell you, you know?! ”
"I ......," Wen Qi stammered.
Speaking of which, he thought to himself that he was also sharp-toothed, but when he met the person in front of him, he felt a sense of frustration for the first time, because he couldn't interject at all, so he listened to the little girl in front of him chattering and angrily.
It may be that seeing that Wen Qi didn't talk back, the anger of the chief steward gradually subsided, taking advantage of this time, Wen Qi hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask the girl who ......?"
As soon as the words fell, I heard Zong Wei Zhou Pu chuckle and introduce on the side: "This is the chief steward of my Su Wangfu, Miss Lu'er, and the miscellaneous affairs up and down my Su Wang's Mansion are all in charge of Miss Lu'er." …… Chief Steward, this is a guest invited by His Royal Highness, Mr. Wen Qi Wen. ”
Is it really a little girl? Actually the chief steward of King Su's Mansion?
Wen Qi looked up and down with a strange expression as he looked up and down the chief steward of the Su Wang's Mansion in front of him.
At this time, Lu'er also looked at Wen Qi carefully, and said with an ugly expression: "Wen Qi, I know you, you have been cheating on eating and drinking in my palace for the past two days, the food must be good, and the wine must be good, obviously you are just a poor scholar, and the requirements are high......"
Seeing that the girl in front of him said so bluntly, Wen Qi was also a little embarrassed on his face.
Think about it, he was imprisoned in Dali Temple for a few months, ate a few months of prison food, and was invited to Suwangfu by Zhao Hongrun two days ago, how could he hold back his tongue.
"Girl......"
"What girl? I'm the chief steward of the house! Lu'er's eyes widened, and he scolded.
The corners of Wen Qi's mouth twitched twice, and he changed his words and said: "The chief steward, it's not that Wen wants to eat and drink for nothing in the mansion, but that His Royal Highness King Su invited him to come over......
"Inviting you?" Lu'er looked Wen Qi up and down a few times, and asked Zhou Pudao suspiciously: "Your Highness really invited this poor scholar?" Is this man capable of anything? ”
Glancing at Wen Qi, who had an ugly expression, Zhou Pu said with a smile: "I don't know the specifics, but I know that this person owes money to the house?" ”
"What?" Hearing this, Lu'er's face changed suddenly, as if someone had robbed her of her baby, and she stared at Wen Qi and asked, "How much do you owe?" ”
"Originally, it was four thousand taels, but now it's ......" Zhou Pu took out the booklet and glanced at it twice, and said with a smile: "It's already six thousand four hundred and thirty taels." ”
"Six...... Six thousand four hundred and thirty taels? Lu'er suddenly jumped to her feet in a hurry, and said in a hurry: "I'm going to die!" He actually borrowed more than 6,000 taels from this poor scholar?! ”
Wen Qi's face was red when he heard this, but a trace of puzzlement flashed in his eyes when he looked at Lu'er, he thought to himself, I owe it to His Royal Highness King Su, and I don't owe it to you, why are you so excited, little girl?
Before Wen Qi could react, he heard Lu'er turn her head and stare at him, those eyes reminded Wen Qi of the jackal in the mountains he had encountered when he walked the mountain road in the middle of the night.
"More than six thousand taels...... You shameless poor scholar, you owe so much money to my house, and you dare to be cheeky to ask for this and that every day......"
After that, there was a series of verbal humiliating attacks, which made Wen Qi ashamed and angry.
He stood up and rebuked, "I'll just go!" …… I'm a seven-foot man from Wenqi, why should I be humiliated by you here?! ”
"Want to go?" Hearing this, Lu'er sneered twice, and scolded angrily: "Okay, pay back the money you owe!" ”
"You ......" Wen Qi was speechless for a moment, and then said angrily: "Even if I owe this silver, it is owed to His Royal Highness King Su, what does it have to do with you?" Do you think this palace belongs to you?! ”
Hearing this, Lu'er's little face turned slightly red, and she said forcefully: "Although...... It's not mine, but I'm the chief steward of the house, and everything is in my hands! …… You stinky poor scholar, you owe me a lot of money in my palace, and you have been eating and drinking in my palace for days, and now you don't want to run away if you don't pay back the money? ”
"When did I say I was going to run away?" Wen Qi said angrily: "It's just that I don't have any money on me for the time being, and if I have money in the future, I will naturally return it in full." ”
Hearing this, Lu'er immediately calmed down and asked coldly, "When will you be rich?" ”
"Uh......" Wen Qi was speechless for a moment, and said after half a sound: "I still have two acres of thin fields in my hometown to take care of my neighbors......
"Two acres of thin fields?" The corners of Lu'er's mouth twitched twice, and then she scolded angrily: "What can two acres of thin fields do?" It's not enough to even pay back the fraction! After that, he looked Wen Qi up and down a few times, and said with a sneer: "Since you don't have any money, then do chores for the house......"
"You ......" Wen Qi's face was flushed with anger, and he said angrily: "My generation of scholars, you little woman dare to bully?" ”
Hearing this, Lu'er's eyebrows rose, raised her voice, and scolded in a sharp voice: "Can a scholar not pay his debts?!" …… Let me tell you, what the scholars my aunt and grandmother have seen say, which one is not a righteous squandering of money and a waste of money, and then look at you...... I have just noticed that what you are wearing is not the same garment of my house? You stinky and shameless poor scholar, these days you eat your aunt's, use your aunt's, wear your aunt's, and dare to read in front of your aunt and grandmother? Do you believe it that I immediately called someone out on the street to give you an idle call? Note: The idle shouting here refers to calling a group of people to shout on the street, which is a common means for store owners to deal with some cheeky strong tenants in ancient times.
Hearing this, Wen Qi's face suddenly couldn't hang up, you must know that he is no longer famous in Daliang, if this little girl sends someone to shout on the street for a while, then he, a scholar, how can he have the face to stay in Daliang again.
Thinking of this, he said angrily: "You...... How can you be such a philistine, you little woman? ”
It can only be said that he doesn't know the origin of Lu'er, you must know that Lu'er has been sold to the water pavilion of Daliang since he was a child, and he has seen too many teachings and nine streams since he was a child, although he has no great wisdom, but he knows everything about the market, and he also has a shrewd posture when he scolds people, which is something that a scholar like Wen Qi can deal with.
No, Wen Qi, who thinks that he has sharp teeth and a tongue like a sword, is not an opponent at all in front of Lu'er, and he was scolded so earthy that he couldn't say a few words from beginning to end.
Even in the end, the poor scholar looked in a trance, and from time to time he showed a look of shame and indignation.
Come on, if you continue to scold, this scholar is afraid that he will be ashamed and angry to kill himself......
Zhou Pu, who had watched the show for a long time, finally came over at this time and pulled away the muddy Wen Qi.
Bringing Wen Qi to the Xiyuan wing where the latter lived, Zhou Pu poured Wen Qi a cup of tea.
At this time, Wen Qi obviously hadn't recovered from Fang Cai's incident, and his mouth was still muttering words such as that only villains and women are difficult to raise, and his face was shocked.
Seeing this, Zhou Pu joked maliciously: "Let Mr. Wen be frightened, otherwise, Zhou will ask the people in the house to prepare a table of wine and food for you to suppress the shock?" ”
Hearing this, Wen Qi trembled as if he was frightened, and then, after swallowing his saliva, he looked back at Zongwei Zhou Pu and said, "Lord Zongwei, dare to ask where His Royal Highness King Su is now?" ”
"Your Highness?" Zhou Pu frowned slightly, then seemed to have guessed something, and said with a smile: "At this time, His Highness may be in the Smelting Bureau...... Don't you want to visit? ”
Wen Qi couldn't hear Zhou Pu's ridicule, but for him, no matter where he went, it was good, but in this Su Wangfu, he didn't dare to stay any longer.
Unless there is King Su Zhao Hongrun by his side. (To be continued.) )
