Chapter 5 Three Exam Questions
A few words of chatter in the evening, thank you brothers for encouraging me! Thank you! )
When it was a mess here, I suddenly heard a noisy voice: "Which rabbit cub is making trouble here without opening his eyes?" Disturbed the princess, did you eat sin? Grab me! As he spoke, dozens of neatly dressed soldiers poured in at the south gate of the courtyard, and the leading officer walked in with a loud shout.
When Qiqiao informed Father Ye of Jin Lian's identity, Father Ye was really taken aback, and hurriedly reported the matter to the Liangzhejiang Road Lin Jingluo, after all, the princess lived in her own house, and if something really happened if she didn't inform the government, it would be a serious crime. Lin Jingluo didn't say a word, and sent his brother-in-law Zhou to command the envoy to bring 500 soldiers to the Ye family, and protected the residence of the princess in the Ye family's backyard like an iron bucket. Although Jin Lian was unwilling, she was helpless.
Later, some well-informed officials got the letter, and came to visit, although they could only see the shadow of the princess through the veil, but it was also a great blessing, especially after the king was in the northwest, Lin Jingluo ran to a good point. In the end, Jin Lian was so annoyed that she ordered her to go down and close the door to thank the guests, no matter who it was, she would not see her.
These days, Commander Zhou is out of the limelight, those officials who can get the news to meet your princess which is not the head and face of Liangzhe Road, now the princess is closed, those officials are all respectful in front of his small commander, I hope that the commander can say a few kind words in front of the princess, and next time he can meet the princess. In fact, Commander Zhou himself has only seen the princess a few times from afar, and when the princess leaves the palace, her own guards follow, and they can't get close to each other. But of course he wouldn't tell those officials about this kind of thing.
Today, Commander Zhou just sent away the two Zhejiang transport envoys who came to meet the princess, when he heard a commotion in the front yard, and some people called it "robbers" or something, Commander Zhou immediately became angry, who was so bold and dared to make noise in the princess's residence, it was really fatal. Your Excellency estimates that it will be there in a few days, and you should take care of this towering tree. Although the official position of the observer envoy is the same level as his brother-in-law's envoy, and the authority of the observer envoy is lower than that of the envoy, but the person serves as a magistrate as a prince, and the status of the brother-in-law and the family is not the same. I behave well now, and if the palace guards see that if they can say a few kind words before your king is a thousand years old, he will be able to soar in the near future. On your own brother-in-law? Hmph, I've been with him for nearly ten years, and I just got a small commander, and I only have a few hundred soldiers under him, so it's okay to count down my own not to grow up or something, and I blame my sister, who called my sister Lao Zhuhuang, not favored?
While thinking about something, Commander Zhou came to the front yard with dozens of soldiers, and at a glance saw Wu Zhi who was surrounded by the guards, and waved his hand: "Take down this Diao Min for me!" ”
Before the soldiers moved, Qiqiao was already shouting beside him: "Stop! This is my friend! ”
Commander Zhou saw that it was Qiqiao, and immediately changed his smiling face, this is the princess's sworn sister, in Commander Zhou's heart, Qiqiao's status is a few points higher than that of Ye Yuanwai, no matter how rich Ye Yuanwai is, no matter how wide he travels, he is not a businessman? How can it be compared with the princess's sworn sister.
"Hehe, it turned out to be a friend of the third lady, I thought something was wrong, this ...... If there is nothing to do, the official will retire. "Commander Zhou and Ye Yuanwai have always talked about how the conductor is, but he has great respect for Qiqiao. It's no wonder that he has a strategic backer, and it will take more than ten years to be promoted to a commander, and this guy's mind is really not very bright.
At this moment, the big rich man stumbled out of the side yard, shouting as he ran: "Murder!" There were robbers ......" ran into the front yard only to find this pile of people in the yard, the majestic but ugly old man, who looked at the courtyard of several of his people in amazement, and the soldiers with bright swords and armor. The shouts of the three stopped abruptly.
Commander Zhou frowned, looked at Qiqiao, and didn't know what to do.
Ye Yuanwai is angry, today the Ye family's face has been lost by these subordinates, one person shouting is not enough? Why do you all follow the coaxing? Has my mansion become a den of robbers?
"Pull these slaves down to my family law to serve!" Ye Yuanwai hated and hated.
Commander Zhou's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Ye Yuan is slow, these Diao slaves are not in a proper manner, disturb the princess, just leave them to this commander, I will hand them over to Lord Hu in the backyard to deal with!" ”
Ye Yuanwai sighed in his heart, no wonder your brother-in-law didn't promote you, you just want to slap your king up and it's not like this, right? But he didn't bother to say anything, and nodded: "So there is a commander of Lao!" ”
Commander Zhou laughed and waved his hand, and the military man next to him tied up the four subordinates in the past, and of course the four riches who pretended to be dead on the ground could not escape this catastrophe. As soon as the four people shouted that they were wronged, they were crackled and smacked their mouths, "You dare to make a noise!" ”
Wu Zhi looked at Commander Zhou with amusement and smiled at him. Although Commander Zhou was inexplicable, he still smiled back, who called someone a friend of the princess's sworn sister.
……
A few years later, the old man Zhou, who was already full of children and grandchildren, would always mention the king's amiable smile to himself, the smile full of majesty and wisdom, at the dinner table. The descendants of the Zhou family are all amazed every time, without him, if they don't agree, they will be punished on an empty stomach.
……
In the spacious and bright living room of the Ye family, Wu Zhi, Ye Yuanwai, and several Qiqiao people sat down, and the general situation of the matter was already known to Ye Yuanwai, and Wu Zhi was also taken by the subordinates to freshen up slightly, and changed his clothes casually, looking no longer so embarrassed.
"Qiqiao, you used to say this Mu ...... What does Mu Zhuangshi do for a living? Ye Yuan looked Wu Zhi up and down, his face was pale, and he asked in a deep voice. In particular, the word "strong man" was simply said through gritted teeth.
The identity that Qiqiao arranged for Wu Zhi is a businessman, and this identity is also the identity that several women racked their brains to come up with. , Ye's father's favorite is a scholar, he was originally a jinshi, but he resigned and took over the family's huge industry because he was tired of officialdom and party struggles. Although he has now faintly become the first merchant of the Great Song Dynasty, he is still a literati in his bones, and of course he has the best impression of scholars. But if you say that Wu Zhi is a talented jinshi, I am afraid that a few words in front of Father Ye will be exposed. As for being a chivalrous warrior, let alone mentioning it, because Qiqiao is not at home all year now, and Father Ye hates the roots of his teeth for those Jianghu masters who teach Qiqiao martial arts, and hates even more samurai who like to dance with knives and guns. It's enough to have a tangram at home, but if you want to recruit a son-in-law who fights and kills, it's absolutely not okay. After a few days of discussion, the women decided to define Wu Zhi's identity as an honest but well-mannered businessman.
In the eyes of the girls, Wu Zhi's business acumen is of course first-class, otherwise he would not have gone from a penniless poor boy to one of the richest people in Yanggu in a few months. Although Father Ye, the identity of a businessman, may not be liked, but he will not reject it. And if the two of them talk about business, maybe they will talk about speculation.
But things are so strange, Ye Yuanwai hates reckless people the most, Wu Zhi's performance today is just a complete martial artist, not only beat the four people of the Ye family to death, but Ye Yuanwai also suffered from the pond fish, Ye Yuanwai, who has always been majestic and solemn in front of the subordinates, actually fell with the next person, and was pressed on his body by the subordinates, which is really a loss of face.
Qiqiao saw that his father's face was difficult to see, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he lowered his head and didn't speak.
Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Uncle, the junior is a small businessman in Shandong, and he is operating miserably, and my uncle is smiling." ”
Ye Yuan saw that Wu Zhi had a natural expression when he spoke, although he was polite, he was not humble. I was secretly surprised in my heart, and there were very few people who were not inhibited in front of themselves, especially businessmen, who saw that they were not groveling and flattering. This Mu Wu is different, although he seems to be very respectful to himself in his expression and words, but it is obvious that it is just a kind of courtesy respect from the juniors to the elders, not because of status or something.
"Oh? What kind of business does Mu Zhuangshi do? Although Ye Yuanwai was strange that Wu Zhi was neither humble nor arrogant, his impression of him still did not improve much.
"Gambling houses, pawnshops, Qinglou ......" Wu Zhi picked up his fingers and began to count.
Qiqiao almost didn't fall off the chair, and he had already told him in the letter, only saying that it was good to do the medicinal herb business, and his father didn't have a good impression of gambling houses, pawnshops and other businesses.
Sure enough, Ye Yuanwai's face became darker and darker, and he turned around and glared at Qiqiao fiercely. Qiqiao sat there dejectedly, not daring to move.
Wu Zhi smiled in his heart, and finally took revenge on this girl, and counted a few side businesses before saying: "These juniors are not ......."
Ye Yuanwai was about to teach him a few words, but as soon as he thought of the wording and opened his mouth, he heard Wu Zhi's last sentence, and choked on the words that came to his mouth, and he was almost angry to death, and it took a long time to shake the sleeves of his robe and say angrily: "Clever tongue!" Come on, get me out! ”
Wu Zhi is also too lazy to act, everything has not gone well since he came to the Ye family, Ye Yuanwai has been putting on a stinky face to himself, dragging two hundred and fifty eighty thousand Yes, Wu Zhi's current temperament can't stand this, listening to Ye Yuan's outlet, hehe, smiled, stood up, and just wanted to say a few words of farewell, but suddenly found that Qiqiao's little girl's face became pale, and her big smart eyes were soaked with tears. His heart suddenly softened, and he didn't want to act anymore because he saw that Qiqiao was not as haggard as the letter said, and he seemed to be in good spirits. Naturally, I thought that the girls would join together to scold him, but I didn't expect that the usually eccentric Qiqiao would also have such a miserable and miserable look. Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, sat down slowly, and said with a smile: "Is this how uncle treats guests?" ”
Ye Yuanwai said coldly: "The old man can't afford to be called an uncle of a strong man." Waving his hand, signaling the subordinate who was ready to drive away the guest to retreat, although he didn't like Wu Zhi, he didn't want to fall into a deceptive mouth, just now it was also impulsive, and after thinking about it, he always had to find a way to make the other party know the difficulty and retreat, so that Qiqiao was completely dead, if he drove Wu Zhi out like this, Qiqiao's temper didn't know what he would do.
Wu Zhi smiled and said, "The younger generation can't afford to be called an uncle's strong man." ”
Ye Yuanwai raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that the old man has wronged you?" Look at your actions, what is the difference between being reckless and reckless?
Wu Zhi smiled: "Uncle misunderstood, the younger generation didn't mean that." Don't hide it from your uncle, the younger generation is indeed a martial artist, and the most admired is also a martial artist! But the younger generation did not dare to be a strong man. ”
"The so-called strong man can be an ordinary pawn who is chivalrous and loyal, bends his bow and rides a horse, and exchanges his blood for the peace of the Great Song Dynasty, or he can be a famous general who strategizes and talks and laughs when the enemy chief is wiped out. However, the desire of the younger generation is to become the strong man mentioned by the uncle! Wu Zhi ignored the expressions on Ye Yuanwai and Qiqiao's faces, and talked eloquently,
Ye Yuan's expression was a little gentle, and he looked at Wu Zhi a few times and said, "Then why don't you go to the frontier to join the army, you will only talk about it here, is this also what a strong man does?" The words still didn't give way.
Wu Zhi smiled and said, "When this is over, the juniors will go to serve in the army...... Xin said that if the matter is done, there will be an excuse to leave the Ye family.
Ye Yuanwai "snorted": "That old man is going to disappoint you, Suzhou Wang family was in business in the era, and my Ye family is the right person, Wang Gongzi is a famous talent in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is a genius in business, and the old man is very satisfied." Originally, if you were half as good as the prince and the prince, for the sake of Qiqiao's affection for you, the old man might have allowed this marriage. But today the old man is very disappointed in you. How can my son-in-law of the Ye family be just a reckless man who dances with knives and guns! ”
The anger that the old man said about the martial arts Ye surged up, and he laughed: "Uncle looks down on the warriors in the world too little, and the younger generation is not easy to convince others, if Wang Gongzi can really convince the younger generation, the younger generation will no longer entangle Ling Ai!" "What kind of bullshit prince secretly said in my heart, I am angry when I provoke it, and you know how good it is!
Ye Yuanwai was waiting for his words, and smiled in his heart, he was still young, and he couldn't stand the agitation. The plan succeeded, and the anger just now gradually faded, and he nodded: "In this case, the old man will give you a chance, and tomorrow the prince will come to Hangzhou. When the time comes, the winner will be decided, don't complain about the sky, and don't mess around! ”
Wu Zhi's eyes were vicious, and a hint of imperceptible smile at the corner of Ye Yuanwai's mouth was keenly captured by him, and he secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, it seems that it was premeditated, but no matter what topic he has, he doesn't believe that he will be inferior to that prince. Nodding his head, "That's nature!" ”
Ye Yuanwai looked at Qiqiao again and said, "Are you satisfied now?" If only Mu ...... The virtuous nephew lost, don't deny it! ”
Qiqiao blinked his eyes widely: "As long as Daddy's question is fair, Qiqiao will not be reckless!" "I still have an excuse for my own tricks.
Ye Yuanwai naturally knew her careful thoughts, and he didn't care about Xiaoxiao, that Wang Gongzi was so dignified, he was really a rare talent, but his daughter insisted on refusing to see him, and when she saw a character like Wang Gongzi tomorrow, her daughter would not resist too much. After the two of them competed, they would make a judgment even higher. I don't believe that my daughter must hang herself on this reckless tree.
