Chapter Forty-Seven: The Chicken Stealer
Since it takes a lot of time to get from Suzhou to Shaoxing, Shen Wuyan simply packed up his things as soon as he returned to the teahouse, and took Yue'er towards the ferry.
As soon as he arrived at the ferry, Shen Wuyan saw Li Wan'er who was talking to the boat owner, she was carrying a burden in her hand, panting, and obviously had just arrived.
Seeing Shen Wuyan and Yue'er coming, Li Wan'er hurriedly beckoned the two of them to come over, and after seeing Shen Wuyan, she lowered her head slightly and said, "Seventh Uncle, he is actually also thinking about the family, Shen Gongzi should not take it to heart." ”
Looking at Li Wan'er, who is usually gentle and gentle, with an apologetic face at this time, and even more beautiful women, Shen Wuyan smiled lightly: "Before entering your house, I told Yue'er that I couldn't get my mother-in-law, but I didn't expect it to really come true." ”
"Mother-in-law?" Li Wan'er was stunned.
Yue'er on the side had already laughed, and hurriedly explained: "That's what Wan'er's sister's mother means, and here it refers to the elders of Wan'er's family." ”
"Oh......" Li Wan'er responded, and then sighed: "Wan'er's mother has passed away a long time ago,...... It's not a thing, the seventh uncle has a father on his side, so he doesn't have to worry if he is speechless. ”
Shen Wuyan really didn't know about Li Wan'er's mother, and it was indeed a little inappropriate to make this joke at this time, but seeing that she was not angry, he said loudly: "It's really nothing, Wan'er doesn't need to say much." ”
Then Shen Wuyan discussed the itinerary with the boatman, and then the three of them rented a small boat and headed for Shaoxing.
At this time, although it was afternoon, the ferry was still full of people, in fact, there were several big ships belonging to the Li family, but due to many factors, Li Wan'er was not easy to show up.
However, several servants who had worked in the Li family for many years recognized Li Wan'er and his party, and one of the older ones pointed to the three people who had just boarded the boat and wondered: "Don't you see that girl is the eldest lady, where is she going, and she ...... with the man." ”
"What do you know, that son is Shen Gongzi of Xingbake Teahouse, that is the future husband of the eldest lady."
"Don't say it, that Shen Gongzi is not only a good businessman, but his literary talent is not inferior to these literati in Suzhou at all, and he is a very good match for our young lady."
"Yes, yes. It's just that I heard that the eldest young master of the Hu family also favored the eldest lady before, but then he lost his trust......
"You don't know this, where can that Young Master Hu compare with Shen Gongzi, but when it comes to appearance, Young Master Hu is honored...... Hey, it's just a cook, Shen Gongzi is so personable......"
"Second stunned, don't chew your tongue, that young master of the Hu family is much better looking than you...... I heard that the eldest young master of the Hu family was driven out of Suzhou by Shen Gongzi. ”
These helpers were talking like this, but they didn't notice that a girl in a white dress fluttering, covered with a light veil, and holding a pipa in her hand was standing aside and listening, and when she heard the key point, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
Looking at the boat branch on the riverside gradually moving away, the girl slowly walked away and got on another boat and went away.
The trip did not arrive in Shaoxing until the afternoon of the next day, and as soon as I got off the boat, I saw Xu Wenchang waiting at the ferry and several soldiers in armor.
As soon as he saw Shen Wuyan coming, Xu Wenchang hurriedly greeted him, and after a while of greetings, he walked towards Xu Wenchang's mansion.
It didn't take long to arrive at the place, and at this time the mansion had already been decorated, but it looked like a newlywed swallow.
The time after that was simply torture for Shen Wuyan, and there were not many acquaintances between them, until Hu Zongxian came over a little later, and then he sat down and talked with him for a while.
Yue'er's side was interesting, first she and Li Wan'er visited all the big and small rouge shops in Shaoxing, then went to a few dim sum shops, and then came back and chatted with a few women she had just met.
Speaking of which, the generation gap between girls and women is too little, and it can't be stopped after a few words.
And Shen Wuyan and Hu Zongxian mostly talked about some troubles of the Japanese and the government, and they were all put aside by him in a few words, and basically did not mention it much.
"Speechless, do you still remember Hu Yuming?"
While talking here, Hu Zongxian suddenly mentioned Hu Yuming, which made Shen Wuyan also stunned, although he knew Hu Yuming's relationship with him, he didn't expect him to say it now.
Without waiting for Shen Wuyan to answer, he continued: "If it were someone else, this matter would be forgotten. It's just that this little beast actually offended you without words, and later dared to sue the wicked first, which is really bold. ”
Listening to Hu Zongxian's words, Shen Wuyan secretly thought to himself in his heart, with his status and prestige, there was no need to say these things because of himself, but he said it again.
"No need to think about it, this matter is over."
Shen Wuyan didn't plan to remember this for the rest of his life, but listening to Hu Zongxian's words at this time, he could understand why the Hu family restaurant closed so quickly, but Hu Zongxian sold his favor.
After all, he is an old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years, and he easily gave a crowd to others without leakage, which not only made Xu Wenchang and others more fond of him, but also took another step towards winning himself over.
Shen Wuyan was not uninteresting, he bowed his head slightly, and saluted: "Thank you Lord Governor for this matter." ”
In fact, Shen Wuyan also understands that his behavior is nothing more than to win people's hearts, although the means are a little unclever, but the ultimate goal is very clean, nothing more than for the southeast war, in order to clear the Japanese invaders one day earlier.
So Shen Wuyan also sold him a face, and said more.
After Xu Wenchang visited the church and got married, Hu Zongxian naturally had the ceremony of presiding, so Shen Wuyan ended up idle again.
On the contrary, several other officials present noticed him, but they did not know his identity, but regarded him as Hu Zongxian's new recruit, and they also toasted a few glasses of wine during the process.
It was getting late, and there were mostly bureaucrats here, and secondly, they were really not in the mood, so Shen Wuyan said goodbye to Xu Wenchang and Hu Zongxian in private, and then went in the direction of Zhou Yuan according to the guidance.
Not long after Shen Wuyan left with Yue'er and Li Wan'er, Hu Yuming also came to Xu Wenchang's mansion, he wandered through the crowd for a long time, as if he was looking for someone, but in the end he didn't find it, but he bumped into Hu Zongxian.
Looking at Hu Yuming, Hu Zongxian didn't have a good face, he said in a deep voice: "What are you doing here?" Wen Chang didn't invite you. ”
was bumped into by Hu Zongxian, but it made Hu Yuming shocked, and after he was spitting for a long time, he hurriedly said: "I heard...... I heard that Wuyan would come over today, so I came over to apologize to him. ”
"Apologize?" Hu Zongxian had already drunk three rounds at this time, and he didn't think much about it, but just sneered: "Even if you are a kid, you went to Zhou Yuan to participate in the poetry meeting without a word, if you let me know that you are not sincere, I don't ...... it." ”
The words gradually became softer, and Hu Zongxian left with the support of the extremely accompanying guards.
Hu Yuming, who was in the dark, smiled coldly, then walked out of the door, and then said to Chen Huyuan beside him: "How are the people prepared?" ”
"It's all good men invited from Yulong Street...... Chen Huyuan hesitated slightly, and said in a low voice: "Isn't it too much for the young master to do this, after all...... How should Governor Hu explain? ”
"Confession?" Hu Yuming chuckled and said, "How can I explain it, Shen Wuyan is dead, can he still let me go to the funeral?" ”
On the other side, Shen Wuyan sat in a carriage arranged in advance and headed towards Zhou Yuan.
After all, it is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shaoxing as a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, the prosperity is not lost to Suzhou, although it is late at this time, the streets and alleys are still full of people.
Zhou Yuan was not too far from Xu Wenchang's mansion, and it didn't take long to reach his destination.
It is said that it is Zhou Garden, but it is actually an extremely wide manor.
After handing over the invitation, Shen Wuyan walked towards the garden under the extremely puzzled gaze of the guards at the door, and it wasn't until he walked away that a tall and thin guard wondered, "Why has this person never seen him?" ”
"I'm afraid it won't be a stolen invitation." The other, shorter guard, was surprised.
"It's really possible, tonight and this week are all important people in the park, it is said that Gu Qingshan, the first talent in Suzhou, will come over, there must be so many people who steal chickens and dogs and want to sneak into the garden to ask for a few articles......"
"But...... That doesn't look like a chicken or a dog. ”
"What do you know, people are not allowed to show their faces, if he really asks for a handwritten poem, it will be a few hundred taels of silver."
With this in mind, the two of them immediately got up and ran towards the garden.
As for Shen Wuyan, he didn't know all this, because this garden was so big, so he hadn't figured out the direction yet.
Li Wan'er, who was walking aside, sighed loudly: "You say, do we count Grandma Shen entering the Great Zhou Garden?" ”
Shen Wuyan smiled disdainfully and said, "What about little Zhou Yuan? I went to the Forbidden City back then, and it cost dozens of dollars. ”
“……”
"Actually, it is very necessary to find Gu Qingshan now, those guys of mine dragged him over, I don't know what happened, if you prepare properly, I will let you see and understand in the next few days."
Listening to Shen Wuyan's words, Yue'er was curious: "What guy...... There are a lot of new gadgets for the young master. ”
Shen Wuyan looked at the expectant eyes of the two girls, and said lightly: "I can't say it now, this is ...... Secret. ”
Just as Shen Wuyan and his second daughter were walking on the tree-lined path, they were blocked by two people who suddenly rushed out.
The man standing in front of him waved the big stick in his hand and sneered: "Run? See where else you can run. ”
The man behind him also snorted coldly and sneered: "It's easy for my two brothers to find, so let's catch it quickly, right?" ”
"This ......" Shen Wuyan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Which one is this playing?" ”
"Hey?" The short man sneered: "You kid just wants to come in and steal a few of everyone's calligraphy and paintings, we brothers have seen a lot of people like you, so don't talk nonsense." ”
