Chapter 121: Wu Dalang Meets Li Gang
Regarding the joining of the tiger girl, Wu Dalang is actually not rejected, but more just doesn't want to involve an innocent person in the dispute.
He didn't even settle down himself, and he thought about helping others, which was really a bit inflated. As the saying goes: the poor are good alone, and the good are good for the world. At some point, this view does hold.
But since he joined, Wu Dalang can't favor one over the other, treat Hu Niu as his employee, treat employees, Wu Dalang is not a black-hearted boss.
Wu Dalang has always felt that everyone has a shining point, just like his three employees, Zhao Youcai is down-to-earth and hardworking, Zhang Defu is slippery and hardworking, and Wang Fugui is hardworking, so this new employee should also have a shining point.
Tiger girl, of course, has a shining point, this shining point is radiant, her shining point is... I can eat it.
After several days of getting along, Wu Dalang has been blinded by the flash of the tiger girl.
Wu Dalang felt that Hu Niu must have some kind of hidden shining point waiting for him to dig up, there must be, Wu Dalang told himself silently more than once.
However, the road to find the shining point of the tiger girl is really far away and there is a long way to go.
After sleepless, trekking, and sleeping in the open, they finally arrived at Kaifeng Mansion.
In the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty, after the Chenqiao Mutiny, Kaifeng was the national capital and called Tokyo.
As the national capital, Kaifeng Mansion is undoubtedly majestic and magnificent, which is not comparable to the small Yanggu County.
The carriage slowly passed through the city gate, Wu Dalang lifted the curtain, and the scenery on the street unfolded in front of his eyes.
Maybe the current Great Song Dynasty has reached the time of terminal illness, but the streets of Kaifeng Mansion are still a prosperous scene. People come and go, and there is an endless stream.
The carriage stopped outside an inn, and several people got out of the carriage and entered the inn.
Of course, Jian San and Jian Si are just coachmen now, and they won't follow Wu Dalang and them.
As soon as I entered the inn, the innkeeper ran over.
"Are the guests going to stay in the hotel?"
Wu Dalang nodded and said, "Prepare four first-class rooms for us." ”
The innkeeper smiled and said, "Guest officer, how long do you want to stay, our inn has rules, you have to pay half of the deposit first, you see..."
Wu Dalang took out a piece of ten taels of silver from the bag and threw it to the man and said, "Is it enough?" ”
The man picked up the silver and bit it, then bent down and nodded and smiled: "Enough, enough, ladies and gentlemen, please come with the little ones." ”
The guy who took the money was obviously a different person, more respectful and hospitable than before.
The room is a good room, cleaned up, and it is a room that can be checked in directly.
After several people entered their respective rooms, they all lay down on the bed first. I was fed up with the days of being in the carriage along the way, and it was nothing short of torture.
And now it happens to be afternoon, and it is the time of Wu Dalang's lunch break.
However, Wu Dalang lay down for a short time and got up.
Pan Jinlian asked, "Da Lang, don't you continue to sleep for a while?" ”
Wu Dalang stretched his waist: "No, I'll go find Li Gang first." Let's see if this happens. ”
Pan Jinlian said with some distress: "Why don't you take a rest first and go back tomorrow morning?" ”
Wu Dalang walked over and kissed Pan Jinlian and said, "You have a good rest, don't think too much, just go and ask for a question, and you'll be back soon." ”
Wu Dalang walked out of the room as he spoke, but after walking out, he didn't leave immediately, but knocked on the room of the night rain.
Yeyu got up and opened the door to see that it was Wu Dalang, and then said, "What are you looking for me?" ”
"I'll go out, Jin Lian is a little bored, you go to Jin Lian's room to accompany her."
"Okay." Yeyu said without hesitation, this was the first time she didn't raise the bar with Wu Dalang.
Wu Dalang nodded and went downstairs, Ye Yu looked at Wu Dalang's back and had a different opinion of him, she knew that Wu Dalang asked her to accompany Jin Lian not because Jin Lian was bored, but because she was afraid that something would happen to her.
After Wu Dalang went downstairs, he found the guy and asked, "Xiao Er, do you know where the mansion of Li Gang is?" ”
Xiao Er was just about to speak, and the innkeeper who was at the counter said: "How can this let the guest master go to find it by himself, Xiao Lin, you accompany the guest officer to go on a trip." ”
Wu Dalang didn't refuse, it was naturally a good thing to have someone to lead the way.
Li Gang's mansion was not far away, and after walking for about ten minutes, he finally entered another corner, and then walked a short distance and finally arrived at Li Gang's mansion.
Wu Dalang looked at Li Gang's mansion and nodded slightly, thinking to himself: Li Gang is worthy of being one of the few good officials in the Song Dynasty, and this mansion is far from Zhou Dajin's mansion.
The two little lions guarding the door in Li Gang's mansion are probably the cubs of the golden lion king of the Zhou Dajin family.
The door of the mansion was closed, and it was not open like some large families, and there was no house to watch the door.
Wu Dalang walked to the door, pulled up the rusty knocker on the door and knocked it three times.
This door has obviously not been repaired for a long time, and the original vermilion has long since receded, and now it looks like only some pale red with the erosion of time, and some have even fallen off, revealing the original color of the wood.
After Wu Dalang finished knocking, a slightly old voice came from the house: "Come, come, wait a minute." ”
It sounded like the voice of an old butler, so Wu Dalang didn't urge, and stood quietly outside the gate and waited.
After a while, the door slowly opened.
An old housekeeper dressed plainly appeared in Wu Dalang's eyes.
The old housekeeper looked at Wu Dalang and said, "Are you?" What's the matter with coming to the Lee Mansion? ”
Wu Dalang: "My name is Wu Dalang, and I'm here to visit Master Li." ”
The old housekeeper glanced at Wu Dalang again this time and said, "You are Wu Dalang, the master mentioned it to me a few days ago, saying that someone named Wu Dalang came to him and brought him directly to see him." Okay, let's go. ”
Wu Dalang followed the old housekeeper into the mansion, the mansion is not big, and the layout is very simple, but there are a lot of potted plants, it seems that Li Gang likes this kind of thing more.
The old housekeeper took Wu Dalang to the study, and Li Gang was writing at this time.
The old housekeeper said, "Master, Wu Dalang is here." ”
Li Gang put down the brush in his hand and looked up.
Li Gang looked at Wu Dalang, and Wu Dalang also looked at Li Gang.
Li Gang's face was a little surprised, according to the letter he received, this Wu Dalang has been blown into a powerful person by Liu Anshi, although Liu Anshi did not mention Wu Dalang's age in the letter, but Li Gang felt that he should be about the same age as him, and he was a middle-aged person.
But now look at Wu Dalang, where is a middle-aged man, this is simply a fledgling little fresh meat, just like this, can he still be a powerful person who rejuvenates the country and the country? To be honest, Li Gang didn't believe it in 10,000.
