Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Smell Is Like
In just a moment, Wang Shikun went from the initial apology to pulling Xu Xun to drink on a whim. Facing the posture of the little uncle of the Wei State Mansion who was like no one around, although Xu Zhen on the side looked obscure and uncertain, Zhu Sihai was really dumbfounded. After a while, Xu Zhen coughed lightly, which brought Wang Shikun back to his senses.
"I'm looking for you today for this matter, and since people have found it, then it's none of your business!"
Seeing that Wang Shikun waved his hand at Xu Yu with a big grin, and put down such a sentence, Xu Xun couldn't help but look at Xu Yu with a wry smile, and said with some embarrassment: "Sixth uncle, I ...... it."
"Since the prince said so, you should go and accompany you, and come back to talk about something later." Xu Zhen has been up and down for half of his life, after the initial shock and inexplicability, after all, the city government is deep, and immediately smiled at Wang Shikun and said, "Wang Gongzi turned around and saw Wei Guogong, please say hello on my behalf." Let's just say that after this while, I will definitely come to the door to pay a visit. ”
"I know, I know, it's a trivial matter, I'll just mention it to my brother-in-law!"
Huitong, who was standing behind Xu Xun and always lowered his eyebrows and followed his eyes, looked at this situation and smacked his tongue in his heart. Who is Wei Guogong, there is nothing I don't know about this Nanjing City, not to mention that he often walks the streets and alleys like this? Although I don't know how Xu Xun got involved with this brother-in-law of Wei Guogong, looking at the current development, maybe I really don't need to take Xu Ba to the end of the world. So, when Xu Xun said goodbye to Xu Zhen and left with Wang Shikun, he followed without saying a word.
Seeing that the two groups of people who couldn't hit each other with eight poles actually walked together, Xu Zhen, who was standing at the door of the Xiaohua Hall, suddenly called Tao Hong in a deep voice, and ordered him to chase them out and take them out through the back door of the mansion, and then turned around in the house.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but pull his beard with his right hand. After a long time, Zhu Sihai, who was still standing on the side, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, moved forward and whispered next to Xu Zhen: "Master, do you want to go out with you to have a look, and find out how Xu Xun got into the relationship with Wang Gongzi?" ”
"What's the use of asking at this time, it's too late!" Xu Zhen [***] spit out such a sentence, then snorted lightly, and sneered after a while, "Hengzhi I have always been innocent and innocent here, but at the banquet the night before, he showed his face again, if he and Wang Gongzi really intersected from this, it would be beneficial and harmless to me." On the contrary, it is the long-house, three-room, four-room, those with bad motives...... Sihai, give me instructions on today's affairs, and no one is allowed to show a word, otherwise the family law will serve! ”
"Yes, the little one obeys the master's orders!" Zhu Sihai was shocked at first, but after hearing Xu Zhen say this, he remembered that Xu Zhen had just ordered Tao Hong to go out and take people out of the back door, and immediately realized, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, the small one will definitely surprise the master of the long house!" ”
The master and servant of this side of the box discussed stopping and blocking the news in three or two sentences, and Xu Xun and Wang Shikun went out all the way, although it was just a small talk, but when Xu Xun vaguely said that after Gonggong Fu came last night, Xiao Niangzi and the others retreated, Wang Shikun was immediately surprised, and after asking about it, he sighed regretfully.
"Hey, you are really unlucky, you must know that Xiao Niangzi's dance is a must in Jinling, this time you missed it, and I don't know when I will wait until next time...... If it weren't for the support of someone behind her, how could she be at most three songs a night, and she would not be willing to let people kiss Fang Ze easily? Wang Shikun showed an extremely fascinated expression as he spoke, and seeing that there was the east gate of the mansion in front of him, he suddenly stopped and looked at Xu Xun, "By the way, you and Gonggong Fu ......."
"Don't tell Wang Gongzi that it was the first time I saw Gonggong Fu last night."
Seeing Xu Xun's honest and sincere face, Wang Shikun suddenly laughed out loud in the initial shock, and actually beat his shoulder again, and it took a long time to stop laughing: "You are too honest." To be honest, I'm looking for you so urgently, but it's just because I was scolded by my eldest sister, aren't you afraid that I know that you have nothing to do with Grandpa Fu, and I will settle accounts with you? ”
Whether it is Fu Rong's previous evaluation or Wu Shouzheng's quiet bottom, it is enough for him to have a general understanding of this son. If Wang Shikun doesn't care about it at this time, it means that most of this person is a deep person in the city, and Xu Xun has to take out the famous thorn of Fu Rong in his arms to shine. However, after the other party laughed at this time, he asked this, and he was naturally sure in his heart. So, he just smiled and asked rhetorically.
"If the prince is so intolerable, how can he treat me like this at this time?"
This fluttering rhetorical question made Wang Shikun extremely proud. He is also famous in Jinling, those who are interested in the career do not have anything to do with him at all, and there are few people who are also gentlemen who have all kinds of open guns and hidden arrows, and as for the lower ones, they are all stammering and flattering. In other words, only when the Wang family was once not famous, would they meet one or two people who spoke so straightforwardly, but they have long been extinct over the years. So, this is obviously different from those words that are flattering, but it is actually to his appetite.
Out of the east gate of the mansion, Wang Shikun's more than a dozen relatives all gathered up, and after listening to his son-in-law's orders, someone immediately pulled out his legs to arrange. And Xu Xun didn't seem to care, just talked to Wang Shikun, and when he arrived in front of the hundred-year-old Qingfeng Building, Xu Xun saw Wang Shikun enter the house surrounded by those relatives, so he deliberately took a step behind, and whispered to the Huitong monk on the side: "You waited outside for about a quarter of an hour, and then immediately rushed in, as for what to say, you can decide for yourself." ”
Monk Huitong is a clever person with nine tricks, and he has understood seven points when he followed Xu Xun out of Xu Xun all the way, and immediately agreed with a smile at this time, and watched Xu Xun's figure disappear into the door. When he couldn't see anyone, he touched the back of his neck and found a comfortable place to lean against the wall and watch the passers-by bask in the sun.
Worthy of the reputation of a century-old brand, Xu Xun and Wang Shikun sat in the elegant seat on the second floor, and the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Building personally came up to say hello with a smile, and after a while, they served a table of dishes like beads. And Wang Shikun watched a few relatives around him as if they were hot wine and setting dishes and chopsticks without touching the ground, but when he saw Xu Xun sitting leisurely alone, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable on his face, and slapped the table angrily and blasted everyone out.
"This person is a little less, and his ears are clean!" Wang Shikun smiled comfortably, fished two dried bamboo shoots in the pot and ate them, and he nodded at Xu Xun with chopsticks, "Don't take a bite of Wang Gongzi, listen to Hanqi, see that you are younger than me, I will call you Brother Xu, and you will call me Brother Wang." Well, that's it! ”
Xu Xun saw that he was going to call himself a big brother without saying a word, and immediately smiled: "Then I will honestly and unceremoniously call Brother Wang." Brother Wang, there is one thing you don't know, Gonggong Fu was on the Qingping Building all the time last night. ”
Seeing that Wang Shikun's hand holding the chopsticks froze suddenly, he slowed down his tone and said, "After Gonggong Fu entered the table, he told me that Wang Shikun is a pity. Those who don't know are all talking, but they don't know that he has an excellent foundation and is a good material. Others now only know that he is Wei Guogong's brother-in-law, in fact, if you want to say that his reputation has not been ruined by those with ulterior motives? What kind of nonsense is that many people have raised up with false rumors. ”
It is a pity to be able to make Fu Rong say it, Xu Xun vaguely felt that Wang Shikun was not as domineering and superficial as he seemed on the surface, and most of the people who were squirming hoped that others would praise him for his success, so he took out the words and mentioned them in a different way. Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, he saw Wang Shikun's face blue and white, and finally suddenly slapped the chopsticks on the table, and shouted: "For so many years, even if my father and eldest sister see that my nose is not a nose and my eyes are not eyes, only Grandpa Fu said a word of truth!" ”
Seeing a relative push the door to check because of this movement, he shouted and went out, and then stood up and turned around like a headless fly for a while, and finally sat down in front of Xu Xun, and said with an indignant face: "I think I have always been one of the best in the school back then, but I didn't expect that since the eldest sister married into the Wei Mansion, those classmates in the school either spoke yin and yang, or followed behind and flattered the whole day. I was also dizzy, once because a person spoke too much, I beat him with all my strength, and when I went home, I was beaten by my father, and I splashed paint on the door of his house in a fit of anger, and then the master came to the door and said that the small temple could not accommodate me, a great Bodhisattva. Later, my father invited Xixi, and I was angry and left three or four gentlemen......"
Listening to Wang Shikun talking about the old things with an angry expression, he immediately said that he saw the beggars freezing and starving, and he made porridge in Zhongzheng Street during the New Year's holidays, and was said to be selling fame and reputation; He told his father to reduce or reduce the rent of tenants, but he was said to be unfamiliar with the world and bought people's hearts; Occasionally, he chanted two good poems on an idea, and was flattered in person, and countless people behind him said that this was a fake by him...... In the end, he slapped the table twice in righteous indignation, and his palms were flushed, and Xu Xun finally smiled.
"There is a good saying, the Tao is different, do not conspire with each other. No matter what you do, you are not in the same circle as others. When others look at you, you only have the identity of Wei Guogong's brother-in-law. ”
