Chapter 33: Dancing to Clarify the Shadow 5
"If you just run back to Suzhou with your tail between your legs...... Isn't it a joke? ”
The small courtyard returned to calm again, and Li Wan'er stood beside Shen Wuyan and sighed secretly, secretly thinking in her heart where she was afraid of being laughed at, it was nothing more than for Xu Wenchang. ``し
Li Wan'er also knows a lot about the friendship between the two of them. Since Shen Wuyan had made up his mind to save people, no one could stop him, so he simply stopped dissuading him.
It's just that I'm still a little worried in my heart, since the two young scholars came to make trouble a few days ago, Shen Wuyan didn't go out anymore, saying that he was afraid of being surrounded by those fanatical scholars, but he stayed in the small courtyard to protect her.
After a pause, Li Wan'er smiled faintly, then broke free of Shen Wuyan's hand, and said, "Tell the cook to cook some Suzhou dishes today...... The day after tomorrow is Duanyang, tomorrow I will go to the street with Cai'er to buy some herbs......"
After pausing for a moment, he didn't see Shen Wuyan answering, thinking that the other party was thinking about the other party again, but he had no intention of doing it again, and with a slight hesitation on his face, he didn't say anything more, and turned around to leave.
At this moment, Shen Wuyan recovered, and then found that Li Wan'er had already left, so she couldn't help but look back, and responded: "Duanyang went to Hanyan Building to eat...... Take the Heavenly Monarch with you......"
He didn't know that his answer was wrong, but when he saw Li Wan'er turn around and laugh lightly, he felt better, at least at this time, he didn't feel a little guilty about his wife.
When Li Wan'er walked away, she gradually resumed the problem of her previous contemplation, probably these things these days, but there was still no progress.
All the breakthroughs in this matter are on Yang Xian, as long as Yang Xian appears and tries to protect him, he can let him tell the truth, and then this situation can be easily broken.
In fact, what made Shen Wuyan always elusive was Gao Gong's intentions, this matter always seemed to have nothing to do with him, but it never got out of his will between the lines.
I believe that Wan Cong alone can't set up such a game, but the entanglement is how big this game is, and I can't see the edge.
Maybe it's such a big deal before and after, everything is Wan Cong's work in order to become the number one talent in the capital, nothing more than to bring himself down, and he can be logical.
Or maybe this is a bigger game, the so-called fraud is just the beginning of all this, it is nothing more than a process of building momentum, and the real content is the Yueyun Restaurant when it stayed in Duanyang.
Of course, all this may also be due to his own thoughts, Yang Xian is Yang Xian, Wan Cong is Wan Cong, and Gao Gong is only Gao Gong, these three people do not have some kind of connection imposed by themselves.
In short, no matter how you calculate this matter, it seems that things cannot be reasonable.
If the three are not connected, then why did the young man die? If there is a connection, why didn't Gao Gong continue to investigate this case, and take advantage of this time to announce that Shen Wuyan was really cheating, and Shen Wuyan would be ruined in an instant.
Although this will not affect Shen Wuyan's life, and even his official position will not be shaken in the slightest, as long as Shen Wuyan is clear, once his reputation is rotten, it will be equivalent to losing everything.
The reason why he was able to go to Liaodong alive was because of the protection of the literati in the capital, and later he was able to return to the capital from Liaodong, and he was the source of the literati in the capital.
Most of these literati are inclined because of the momentum of one or two people, but they also have a strong scholarly atmosphere, and they protected Shen Wuyan because they felt that this literary giant could not be framed by traitors.
Now they denounce Shen Wuyan, probably because they felt that they were so protective of each other back then, but they didn't expect to protect such a person with poor character, which really hurt their feelings.
So this thing should not have such a repercussion, but it has such a momentum.
Even Shen Wuyan was a little scared, he was really afraid that Duanyang would be negligent, and maybe he would be trampled under the feet of Gao Gong and never be able to raise his head, and Xu Wenchang would have to stay in the dark prison forever.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the door, I thought it was Wang Tian coming, but I saw a black-faced man entering the door.
The big man was carrying a basket in his hand, covered with a piece of silk, which looked like an extremely precious thing, but it made Shen Wuyan very curious, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Wan...... What are you? ”
Wan Cong saw Shen Wuyan drinking with the head of the dynasty a few days ago, and knew that the other party had a lot of status in the court, although his son had a holiday with the other party, but he was still very respectful.
Probably learned the previous lesson, and after he hurriedly saluted, he said, "I've seen Mr. Shen...... Our son-in-law asked the villain to bring you some grapes...... Look at the grapes that have just been picked in this orchard, and they are beaten freshly......"
Shen Wuyan couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Put it on the side...... Come on, come on, Brother Wan is here...... The humble house is not as simple as you......"
As he spoke, Shen Wuyan had already pulled Wan Xiong into the chair in the pavilion and sat down, only then did he look at Wan Xiong for a moment and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Brother Wan these days...... Where are you busy? ”
Wan Xiong didn't expect this Mr. Shen to be so polite to him, so he was overjoyed in his heart, but he still maintained respect on his face, nodded and said, "I'm not busy...... It's just a casual walk around the capital......"
"Brother Wan is so ...... with me" Shen Wuyan immediately straightened his face and pretended to be displeased: "I often wander around in this capital, but I have never seen you, Brother Wan...... Let me guess, you must be in charge of Wanjia's business outside the capital. ”
The business of ten thousand families is involved in the whole Ming Dynasty, but if it is said that Wan Xiong is often looked down upon by the shopkeepers in the house, and some of the big shopkeepers often sarcastically mock him in person.
For these ridicules, Wan Xiong had to bury it in his heart, and often lost his temper with some subordinates, but after all, he couldn't take over the business of Wanjia.
At this time, when I heard Shen Wuyan say this, my heart was full of joy, and I secretly thought that this Mr. Shen was not bad, and he didn't feel that he was not a business material.
So there was a hint of red on his face, and he said with a wry smile: "But it made Mr. Shen smile...... The voices of tens of thousands of families in the house are not the turn of the villain to do it...... But these days, I really didn't go to the capital, but went to Suzhou......"
"Suzhou?" Shen Wuyan was shocked in his heart, and his face remained calm, but he already had some guesses in his heart, and said with a little blame: "The Shen family has also opened some shops in Suzhou...... Why didn't Brother Wan say it earlier...... I'd better send someone to entertain me. ”
When Wan Xiong heard this, he was even more happy in his heart, but said, "The villain did find the Shen family's restaurant...... To be honest, although the restaurant is not as grand as Wanjia, the little shopkeeper in the store is really beautiful......"
"You mean Yue'er." Shen Wuyan smiled and sighed, "Yue'er, this girl is indeed a good girl...... Brother Wan should have mentioned his name at that time, and they would have entertained you well. ”
Wan Xiong nodded and said with a smile: "It's considerate...... But this time I went for nothing else, just to find out ......."
The voice suddenly paused, Wan Xiong's face changed suddenly, and it took a long time before he returned to normal, but seeing Shen Wuyan's absent-minded look, he guessed that the other party didn't pay attention to what he had just said, and he was a little relieved in his heart.
But when he heard Shen Wuyan, he couldn't help asking: "Just to propose?" …… Brother Wan still has relatives in Suzhou, I don't know which girl it is, if Shen knows, he can also be a matchmaker for you......"
Wan Xiong suddenly laughed and responded, "Yes...... It's a propose...... But the matter has already been completed, and when the time comes, I will definitely invite Mr. Shen to have a glass of wedding wine......"
Shen Wuyan glanced at Wan Xiong meaningfully, then bowed to him, then took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and stuffed it into Wan Xiong's pocket, and sighed: "The meager dowry makes Brother Wan laugh...... That's what it means. ”
Wan Xiong naturally didn't mention marriage, but just followed Shen Wuyan's words to hide his embarrassment, but at this time, he didn't expect the other party to stuff him with a bride price of silver, but it was not easy to refuse, so he also hugged Shen Wuyan and said, "......What does it mean?"
While chatting like this, Shen Wuyan also made tea for Wan Xiong, and did not let him leave until he persuaded him to stay in the small courtyard for dinner.
Looking at Wan Xiong, who was swaying and slightly drunk, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother Wan, you are all right...... How about I find someone to help you drive...... You see what is going on with you......"
Wan Xiong also found that he was a little dizzy, and he was really afraid that something would go wrong, so he no longer refused, but just pretended to excuse himself for a while, and walked out of the small courtyard with the support of a young man.
Hearing the sound of clattering horses' hooves, Shen Wuyan immediately put away his smile and his previous drunkenness, chuckled, and said, "A jar of wine and a jar of water...... You're amazing, too. ”
Saying this, Shen Wuyan took the food box handed over by Li Wan'er, the smile on his face could not be concealed at all, but he was a little ecstatic, and hugged Li Wan'er in his arms.
"I don't have to go back to Suzhou now...... Whenever I encounter any difficulties, God will always send down a noble person to help me...... If this is done, I really want to find a wife for that kid......"
Li Wan'er didn't understand Shen Wuyan's nonsense, but she knew that Shen Wuyan was no longer silent, so she knew that things had taken a turn for the better, and her heart became happy.
"I just told you that I would go to the street with Cai'er tomorrow to buy some herbs...... But you misheard and answered indiscriminately...... The penalty ......"
Listening to Li Wan'er's slight anger, Shen Wuyan immediately smiled and said, "It really should be punished...... Punish Wan'er and kiss ......"
Li Wan'er suddenly frowned, and said softly: "Xianggong is really ...... Is this a reward or a punishment? ”
……
The car drove to one of the many houses of the 10,000 families, and under the command of the drunkard, the road was a little far, and the road was complicated.
But in the eyes of the young man who was driving, it was extremely clear, and he still hummed the ballad of Jingchengjing from time to time, which made the drunken black-faced man in the carriage laugh for a while.
"I said little brother...... You are a coachman at Mr. Shen's house? …… Look at your talent, how can you do this lowly work? ”
Wang Tian was stunned for a moment, but he still responded: "It's not bad...... Childe always said that I didn't drive a car...... I think it's good......"
