Chapter 281: Kochi Circle (2nd Watch)
After returning to Elysium Villa, Wang Huaqiang kept himself locked in the hut of Xiaoyao Building, lying on a recliner, but his mind was always thinking about the day's events.
Li Mi obviously has an efficient intelligence network, he knows his details very well, and he is even likely to know the relationship between himself and Gao Xi, this person should have long had the intention of befriending Yue Guogong, and today there is just a side to show his talent in front of Yang Su, and he will definitely not let it go. If his expectations are correct, Li Mi will return to visit the Yue Guo Mansion in the next two days and officially establish the connection between the two families.
Yang Su is now in the middle of the day and has a high position, but the Hongnong Yang family, as a family, is still slightly inferior to a super family like the five surnames and Qiwang in the north, and although the Yang family is also a generation of military generals during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, like Yang Su's grandfather and father, he is only a middle-level military general such as the state assassin and the general of the Kaifu, which is far from being comparable with the Zhu family.
Although Li Mi, the descendant of the Li family of Zhao County, seems a little outdated because of the thin staff, after all, the foundation is still there, judging from Li Mi's ability to have a first-class intelligence system at a young age, the power of his centuries-old family is far beyond the reach of an upstart like himself, and Yang Su should not let go of this opportunity to make friends with the prince of Pushan County.
Wang Huaqiang wanted to see Yang Su several times in the past two years, but his official position was low, and there was a long queue every day in Yang Su's house to ask for a meeting, plus Yang Su's vision was extremely high, basically the children of the non-family were unwilling to make friends, Wang Huaqiang asked Mai Tiezhu to go four or five times, but he was sent out without even entering the door, Yang Su's meaning was very clear: he had not yet entered his eyes, or because of Gao Xi. It's not time to make a formal acquaintance yet.
Wang Huaqiang thought of Feng Lun's gloomy face. Since becoming Yang Su's niece and son-in-law. Because the sons of the Yang family are still young, Feng Lun, who is proficient in civil engineering, happened to supervise the affairs of Renshou Palace for Yang Su at that time, so he simply lived in the Yue Guo Mansion, Wang Huaqiang could feel Feng Lun's hostility and defense against himself, and he may have asked to see Yang Su several times, and it was also related to this person's obstruction, because at least when Jiangnan suppressed the rebellion, Yang Su still admired himself.
As for Li Mi, who I saw during the day today. Although he is only a teenager, after all, he represents the Li clan of Zhaojun, the Zhu clan, and his influence is far from being comparable to himself, plus Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan, who also seems to be a young hero, taking advantage of the opportunity for the two of them to meet. Find a way to invite them to your horse hunting ground, and then take the opportunity to make friends. Maybe this will open a door to Yang Su.
Wang Huaqiang thought in his heart, and unconsciously showed a smile on his face, now in the eyes of outsiders, he was recommended by Gao Xi, but he really didn't want to be tied up with Gao Xi, the battle for the reserve is a dead line that cannot be touched, even if it is Gao Xi, there is no guarantee that he can get out of the way, let alone a small role like himself, Yang Su looks like a thick enough thigh, at least he will not hang himself from a tree, even if Gao Xi falls, the business empire he has established will not be confiscated.
A gust of fragrant wind drifted by, Wang Huaqiang opened his eyes, but saw An Suiyu's beautiful big eyes with a bright smile, staring at himself motionlessly, as soon as he saw that he had opened his eyes, he brought over a cup of sour plum drink: "I've been running for most of the day, I'm thirsty, and I don't ask my subordinates to pour some drinks to drink." ”
Wang Huaqiang felt dry at this time, took the cup of blue and white porcelain tea bowl, drank it all, the cold and sweet sour plum soup was poured into the stomach at once, especially comfortable, Wang Huaqiang smiled and handed the empty tea bowl back: "Ayu, the drink you mix is delicious." ”
A good-looking dimple appeared on the side of An Suiyu's mouth, smiled, and took the tea bowl: "If you like it, bring a bamboo tube when you go out in the future, and Yu'er will fill it with drinks for you, so that you can drink at any time and you will not be thirsty." Although you are still low-key, there are already many people who know that you are rich, and there will be more and more people who want to harm you outside. ”
Wang Huaqiang sat up straight, a trace of gratitude appeared in his eyes, and grabbed An Suiyu's soft treachery: "It's better for you to be good to me, Ayu." ”
An Suiyu's pink face turned slightly red, she withdrew her hand, moved over an embroidered pier, and sat down opposite Wang Huaqiang: "You didn't bring Jin Cheng back today, is there anything that needs to be investigated?" ”
Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Li Mi, the prince of Pushan County, and Bao Kai, assistant teacher of Guozijian, are you familiar with these two people?" ”
An Suiyu smiled: "I know them, Li Mi is a famous talent in the city, and Bao Kai is a great Confucian in the world, he is a native of the East China Sea (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu), the descendant of Bao Xian, the Hongluqing of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the word and music, Mr. Meizhuang, taught him the "Five Classics" by his brother Bao Yu, and followed the famous teacher to learn the "Historical Records", and now he is the leading Confucian of my Great Sui, especially proficient in the "Book of Han". Xingman, you have never been very interested in these literati, why do you ask this today? ”
Wang Huaqiang smiled embarrassedly, he didn't like to read too much before the crossing, although he has been mixed with society for many years and has rich experience in getting along with people, but he is not very familiar with historical allusions.
After the crossing, Wang Huaqiang also tried to read more ancient books such as the Four Books and Five Classics, and the history books, but it was too painful to look at these classical Chinese without even punctuation.
It is precisely because his talent is not first-class that Wang Huaqiang has an inferiority complex for this kind of literati Confucianism in his heart, for these well-known big Vs, the leaders of the literary world have always stayed away, and some of their situations are not too familiar, plus he has traveled south and north over the years, and the time for doing business is calculated by the hour, and he can't rest at all, and his own Bliss Mountain Villa is not treated well by those Taoist gentlemen, and they are basically people from the two worlds, and they don't get along with each other.
But this time, Wang Huaqiang deliberately wanted to open up the situation through Li Mi, this literati circle that he had never set foot in before, it seemed that he was about to break through, he looked at An Suiyu and asked: "Did you just say that this Bao Kai is proficient in the Book of Han and is the leading Han historian of my Great Sui?" I saw Li Mi riding a bull to meet him today, wearing the most ordinary silk clothes, and reading the Book of Han on the back of the ox, this is to prepare for the meeting with Bao Kai. ”
Although An Suiyu is a Turkic, he is not too familiar with Sinology, but he attaches great importance to intelligence, and most of the intelligence collection work in Daxing City over the years has been carried out by her, she heard Wang Huaqiang's question, and smiled: "Bao Kai's salary is not high, he is just a teaching assistant of Guozixue, and he has a lot of books, so he can't afford to rent a house in the city, so he can only live in a manor ten miles east of the city."
Li Mi is a dignified pillar family, the prince of Pushan County, naturally he can't eat in front of Bao Kai, which will only make these literati disgusted, maybe he will go out directly. ”
Wang Huaqiang somewhat understood, he smiled and said: "The matter of riding a bull and reading books, I think eighty percent of it is also for others to see, if he starts to read "Hanshu" on the road, then it is impossible to cope with the upcoming meeting, literati, many are just asking for a name, this Li Mi should also be a fame and reputation, and seek a good reputation for learning and progressing." This person is so young, but he has such a scheming, it's really amazing. ”
An Suiyu's eyebrows frowned: "Xingman, why are you suddenly interested in Li Mi and Bao Kai?" Could it be that you also want to take this route of clear streams? I advise you to save it, the literati are the most noble, and they don't look down on us who do business, if you take the initiative to show goodwill, they may not be willing to pay attention to us. (To be continued......)
