Chapter 296: A Plea for Help from Li Gang
Feelings can't be said to exist, they need to get along and run in.
Obviously, Wu Dalang and Master Li have been getting along for a while, and now it can be said that they have taken another step forward.
One person hugged quietly, one person cried silently in the arms of the hug, without saying a word.
However, silence is better than sound at this time.
After a long time, Master Li finally stopped crying, and after he stopped crying, his negative emotions were almost completely consumed.
Negative emotions are gone, and embarrassment and shyness are replaced.
Only then did Master Li realize how shy he was in Wu Dalang's arms.
Master Li quickly broke free from Wu Dalang's arms, and immediately turned his back to Wu Dalang.
"I'm fine, I'm a little tired, I want to get some sleep."
Master Li's voice was very small, but fortunately, Wu Dalang's hearing was amazing, so he was able to hear it clearly.
Wu Dalang probably also knew that Master Li was very shy at the moment and didn't want to face himself.
So Wu Dalang pushed the boat along the way and said: "Well, then you rest first, and inform me of something." ”
Wu Dalang walked to the door as he spoke, opened the door of the room, walked out, and gently closed the door again.
Master Li listened to the footsteps of Wu Dalang leaving, and couldn't help but feel relaxed in his heart.
Master Li stretched out Qianqianyu's hand and put it on her face, and she could feel the temperature coming from her face from the palm of her hand.
She knew she must be blushing by now.
Master Li sat quietly like this, and then a sweet smile appeared on his face, and he didn't know what happy things he thought of.
The blushing face and blooming smile are as charming as a blooming peach blossom.
However, this charming peach blossom Wu Dalang can't be seen, and now Wu Dalang is already on the way home.
As soon as Wu Dalang returned to the mansion, he saw Chang Le running towards him in a hurry.
Chang Le came to Wu Dalang's side: "Childe, Lord Li, the head of the household department came just now, but I saw that you were not there and left." He said you have time to go to his mansion. ”
The corners of Wu Dalang's mouth twitched, he had just come back, and before he sat down, he was about to go out again, why didn't these people let him worry about it, wouldn't he solve it by himself, really.
"Well, you go and prepare the carriage, and we'll go now." Wu Dalang said helplessly.
"Okay son, I'll go now." Chang Le said and quickly trotted out.
Wu Dalang thought slightly: What is Li Gang looking for me at this time? The plan is already very detailed, isn't it okay to follow the steps step by step?
Wu Dalang, who couldn't figure it out, could only ask him when he went to Li Gang's mansion.
Wu Dalang walked towards the door, and when he walked to the door, he also saw Changle's carriage.
Wu Dalang got into the carriage and went to Li Gang's mansion.
When I came to Li Gang's mansion, I knocked on the door as I did at the beginning.
Of course, the door of Li Gang's house is still so dilapidated, but this is also an iconic signboard of Qing officials.
After waiting in Li Gang's mansion for a while, the door opened, and it was still the old butler.
The old housekeeper saw Wu Dalang show a kind smile, as if he had seen a junior whom he admired extremely much.
"The master is in the study, I'll take you over." The old housekeeper led Wu Dalang into the mansion.
The two came to the study, and the old housekeeper shouted to Li Gang, who was writing, "Master, Master Wu is here." ”
When Li Gang heard that Wu Dalang was coming, he immediately put down the brush in his hand, looked up, and when he saw Wu Dalang, his face showed a happy look.
"Master Wu, you're here." Li Gang even spoke in such a happy tone, which showed that he wanted to see Wu Dalang so much.
"Yes, I'm here. So... Why are you looking for me in such a hurry? Wu Dalang asked puzzled.
"Lord Wu, please take a seat first." Li Gang walked out of the desk as he spoke, and personally led Wu Dalang to the chair on the side.
It stands to reason that Li Gang is now a second-rank member, while Wu Dalang is only a third-rank member, which is one level higher than Wu Dalang, so there is no reason to be so respectful to Wu Dalang.
But Wu Dalang can't be measured by the size of his official position, even the current Ministry of Rites Shangshu Chen Guoting, and the Ministry of War, Shangshu Guan Shiren, are all based on Wu Dalang's horse.
Of course, Li Gang can't be a maverick, and his tail will rise to the sky as soon as he becomes a household secretary, and his respect for Wu Dalang is still necessary.
How to say, their current group of people is all covered by Wu Dalang, who is a figure who can compete with Cai Jing, and has a pivotal position in Huizong's heart.
After Wu Dalang sat down, Li Gang sat down.
Li Gang immediately talked about the reason for inviting Wu Dalang over: "Master Wu, just now His Majesty sent someone over to ask if the bidding of the farm was good, and said that the bidding was good, that is, the treasury was rich, and he wanted to hold a ten-day banquet, and asked me if it was okay?" ”
Li Gang was about to cry in the end, this is just a Hubu Shangshu who has just taken the position, where does he dare to say no, if he says no, will Shangshu's position be withdrawn from him immediately.
To say that before, he was just a living man, just a small official, I see that your emperor is unhappy, I will scold you, anyway, you will withdraw if you like.
It's different now, this is a book, just arrived, hot, this is going to be removed, it's still very distressing.
Therefore, the helpless Li Gang immediately thought of Wu Dalang.
Wu Dalang also shook his face when he heard this, he forgot about it, he didn't expect Huizong to remember it so clearly, no wonder Li Gang was afraid, after all, one of the reasons why Liang Zimei, the previous head of the household department, was dismissed was also related to not holding a banquet.
After all, Li Gang was his ally, and Wu Dalang felt that it was still necessary to take advantage of him.
"So the farm is already auctioned, right?" Wu Dalang asked.
"Well, the auction has been completed, and the money will be received soon, so I am in such a hurry and I don't know how to reply to Your Majesty." Li Gang was a little worried.
"So, you don't want to have a ten-day feast, do you?" Wu Dalang asked again.
"Well, if I was willing to hold a banquet for ten days, there would not be so many things, but I also have a bottom line, and these ten days are really extravagant and wasteful." Li Gang said resolutely.
Wu Dalang nodded, he was still quite satisfied with Li Gang's words, it seems that Li Gang did not lose his heart in order to protect his position because he became a household secretary, Li Gang is still the same Li Gang.
"If I come forward, I can persuade Your Majesty, but Your Majesty will definitely still do it, and now it is only a matter of how many times. So, how many times is your bottom line? Wu Dalang asked again.
Li Gang glanced at Wu Dalang awkwardly and stretched out a finger: "One... Once. ”
Wu Dalang: "......"
