As soon as he arrived at this 'Yantian Ranch', Wang Zhihong saw some greasy things.

Ji He, the owner of 'Yantian Ranch', and the little Tai Sui Gongsun Helan who ate very well in Chang'an and Sanyuan, sang and agreed, eyebrows, not like ordinary friends, and then think about the previous Gongsun Helan said in front of him. The advantages and benefits of Yantian Ranch are good words for the master of the Ji farm, and the general Yang Kunshang did not show a trace of bad feelings, and there was a bit of cordiality between the words, which made Wang Zhihong can't help but have an illusion, this Ji He owner will not be their grandson's family or relatives in the Yang Mansion, right?

Go through the back door, pull nepotism, seek personal gain, this kind of thing, whether it is in officialdom or shopping malls, is extremely common, not uncommon, and similar things, when Wang Zhihong was in power, he did it a lot, but this war horse matter is related to national fortune, extraordinary, if Yang Kunshang and Gongsun Helan are really like this, then they are bolder, right?

How to say, Wang Zhihong has also been in Sanyuan for three years in the county before, and he also has a lot of understanding of these outstanding descendants in the county, especially those with some backgrounds, Yang Kunshang, who acts rigorously and is upright, will never do this kind of thing to seek selfishness and mislead the country, but Gongsun Helan, the little Tai Sui, sat on horseback, Wang Zhihong turned his head and glanced at Gongsun Helan, who was laughing with Ji He, and shook his head slightly, this kid is a little difficult to say, Wang Zhihong can't think of anything else in this world, It's this kid who doesn't dare to do it, I think when he was in Sanyuan, this kid didn't cause him a lot of trouble.

"It's here ahead, don't worry," Seeing that Wang Zhihong looked at them, Li Jihe smiled and rode towards Wang Zhihong, and spoke to him respectfully, but because the two scars on his face were conspicuous, his smile looked very hideous and terrifying, and he couldn't see any kindness and sincerity.

"Well," nodded slightly, taking his eyes away from Li Jihe's very ugly face, Wang Zhihong looked around the pasture, looked at the emerald green in the field, and asked Li Jihe in a strange voice: "Master Ji, there is such a large pasture here, the grass is high and the water is fertile, why don't you see horses, cattle and sheep grazing and wandering?" ”

"Hui Qincha's words," one hand reined, slightly wiped the sweat on his forehead, Li Jihe raised his hand and lightly pointed to the sun in the sky, which was already half-hanging, and replied softly: "Now the sun is empty, the heat is thick, the horse is not suitable for galloping, if you want to see, you can do it in the early morning or evening." ”

"Oh, it's that the house is not careful, hehe," Wang Zhihong was stunned, looked down at the jujube red foal he stepped on, and saw that most of its hair was wet, and the corners of his mouth were dripping, which was obviously a sign of irritability, so he suddenly stroked his beard and chuckled: "On such a hot day, even people are a little uncomfortable, not to mention these healthy horses that run non-stop?" ”

"Lord Wang is a great Confucian scholar, he rarely rides a horse on weekdays, and he rarely knows about these things, and it is not surprising that he does not know," Gongsun Helan rode his little donkey and came over compactly, and then accosted: "The so-called soldiers are not in winter and summer, in addition to the crops and grass, the endurance of this horse also has a reason. In the past two days, Lord Wang has come at the right time,"

Saying that, Gongsun Helan turned his head and glanced at Wang Zhihong, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with some teasingness: "These two months are the period when the mare is in estrus, and now all the people and horses in the pasture are almost all gathered together, mating and breeding, at a glance, it will be more convenient for Lord Wang to inspect it for a while." ”

"Oh?" Wang Zhihong raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head to look at Gongsun Helan, and said: "I don't want Gongsun Gongzi to be quite familiar with this matter of raising horses and raising horses, Wang admires it!" ”

Raising his arm and arching his hand slightly at Gongsun Helan, Wang Zhihong aimed his eyes at the white donkey that Gongsun Helan stepped on, his eyes wandered, and he asked softly: "If Wang Mou sees it well, the divine horse that Gongsun Gongzi stepped on is the hundred-mile donkey that Mr. Liu often rides, right?" ”

From the moment Gongsun Helan pulled out the donkey in the morning, Wang Zhihong looked at it very familiarly, after all, a donkey with white fur is rare in this world, Wang Zhihong easily thought of the hundred-mile donkey that Liu Yiyi had ridden before.

"Lord Wang's eyes," Gongsun Helan raised his hand to caress the soft hair around Liu Wuxian's neck, held his head high, and said to Wang Zhihong coaxingly: "This horse is indeed what my eldest brother rode before, but it is now the special seat of this young master." ”

As he spoke, Gongsun Helan flicked his right leg out very coquettishly, sat sideways on Liu Wuxian's back, learned Liu Yiyi's posture when he rode Liu Wuxian back then, crossed Erlang's legs, hummed an unknown minor tune in his mouth, and released the reins with both hands, slapping the paddle briskly, looking very proud.

"Oh," didn't care about Gongsun Helan's appearance of showing off his bag, Wang Zhihong nodded lightly, thinking that Liu Yiyi had sent the donkey to Gongsun Helan before retiring, so he didn't ask any more.

"Speaking of which, we are not outsiders," raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Zhihong, Gongsun Helan shyly and almost set up with Wang Zhihong: "The Wang and Liu families are now in-laws, and I, Brother Liu, and Erjo are sworn brothers, so when it comes to seniority, the little nephew has to call Lord Wang an uncle, between our uncles and nephews, don't be so vain and polite when we talk about it." ”

"Huh?" Wang Zhihong was stunned when he heard this, and then stroked his beard and chuckled, it is really rare to be called such a condescending young master of the Gongsun family, but this also strengthened Wang Zhihong's previous conjecture, between Gongsun Helan, this kid, and this 'Yantian Ranch', there is really something greasy.

"In this case, Uncle Wei is welcome, Helan Xian's nephew!" Wang Zhihong also came to take the lead, and responded directly, not polite at all, and it was not a bad thing for him to be able to get in touch with the Gongsun General's Mansion and the future head of the Gongsun family.

As for the matter of this ranch, as long as this Jihe farmer has real talents, as long as this 'Yantian Ranch' is just right, there is no transgression, and it will not damage the national body, and there are some things, he can still raise his hand and close one eye. After decades of being an official, Wang Zhihong has also become slippery, and he knows what to do and how to deal with it, and he can handle it.

"Uncle Wang!" Gongsun Helan smiled and arched his hand, looking at Wang Zhihong's demeanor and actions, he knew that the following things were easy to do.

"Lord Qincha, the village in front of you is the humble house." From a distance, Li Jihe pointed to the gate of the village that had just met their sight, and said to Wang Zhihong. With a smile on his face, he also listened to the words of Gongsun Helan and Wang Zhihong, and with his experience as an errand in the palace for several years, he also knew that these two people had unknowingly hooked up, and Mr. Liu's 'Yantian Ranch' was temporarily worry-free.

Seeing that the sky was at noon, the heat hit the body, and it was very hot, so when I saw that the target was in front of me, a few people in a group of people also hurried up, galloped up hard, and in a moment's effort, they approached the gate of the village.

"Chincha-sama, please!" Li Jihe turned over and dismounted, casually threw the reins to the subordinates who got up to greet him, and bowed down to ask Wang Zhihong and Gongsun Helan.

"Well, here, it's not bad!" After dismounting, handing over the reins, Wang Zhihong looked up and down at the huge horse village in the grassland, looked at the distance between the rows inside, quite organized, and then nodded and praised softly.

"This Ji field master, there are indeed some means, Uncle Wang will be able to see it in a while," jumped off the donkey's back, Gongsun Helan was very close and enthusiastic and pulled Wang Zhihong's arm, and said: "But now, let's go to the owner's house to rest first, and drink two cups of herbal tea. ”

Casually, freely, skillfully, completely regarded this place as their Gongsun Mansion, and didn't even say hello to Li Jihe, Gongsun Helan took him, the newly recognized Uncle Wang, and went straight to Li Jihe's owner's mansion, Li Jihe also followed behind the two of them needlessly, and he was also accustomed to such a situation, and he didn't say more than half a sentence, of course, even if he wanted to say it, he didn't have the courage.

In the hall of the owner's house, there is a vertical cold town, and as soon as you step in, you can feel a pleasant coolness coming to your face, which is very comfortable.

"Lord Wang, please take a seat, Young Master Helan, please take a seat!" Entering the hall, Li Jihe let Wang Zhihong and Gongsun Helan to the head, and he himself sat down at the head of the two, and then raised his eyes and glanced at the housekeeper waiting in the hall, first tea, and then a banquet, all of which were placed in the living room one by one.

"Official business is important," looking at the table full of fragrant delicacies, Wang Zhihong said in a very faceless manner, picked up the tea bowl on the table, raised his eyes and swept Gongsun Helan and Li Jihe, and said with a straight face: "After drinking this cup of tea, let's go and take a look at Elima, as for this wine and food, it is not too late to eat it after the mansion has seen it." ”

No matter what, the work on face must be done sufficiently, and no one can be singled out, this is the way for officials, and it is also the reason for ministers, even if he is hungry, even if the favor in front of him is strong, Wang Zhihong can't put these things aside and ignore them.

If you can't even grasp these most fundamental things, even if the father of the Ministry of Etiquette is on the side, Wang Zhihong will not be able to get to where he is today.
