Chapter 50: Clever Calculations (Part II)
The Wang family, which is next door to Lingfei Lane and is next to Wuxue, is not an old family in Jinling, but the ancestor three generations ago produced a high-ranking official who was a political envoy in Nanjing, so he settled in the golden powder land of the Six Dynasties. Relying on the shadow of the ancestors, the Wang family also inherited a four-grade martial arts title that did not need to work, but it was only in the middle and upper middle in Jinling City, but who would have thought that a golden phoenix flew out of the small temple, which had obviously fallen down from the cold door to a Mrs. Wei State, and it became a place where the door was like a city. There are those who seek hereditary military positions, those who talk about favors, and those who seek to be promoted by the yamen...... There's always something for everyone.
In the evening, there was still a long carriage parked at the seemingly shabby gate of the Wang family, and in the gatehouse on the right side of the gate, there were seven or eight people sitting in a narrow place, even so, these were all smiling. After all, it's always better to be able to enter this door than to wait outside and wait for hopeless. Just between speaking, Wu Shouzheng, who obviously had a foreign accent, was naturally excluded outside, and he didn't care, he just looked out vigorously, and those ridicules just fell on deaf ears. When there was a commotion outside the door, he quickly stood up, and sure enough, the next moment, someone lifted the curtain and poked into his head.
"Lao Wu, no wonder I asked people to go to the inn to find you, dare you wait at my door. Come out and don't grind! ”
Seeing that Wu Shouzheng agreed and trotted out of the door, the people waiting in the narrow room couldn't help but look at each other. For a while, the middle-aged fat man who had just spoken out of sarcasm about the nouveau riche in the countryside almost regretted his intestines, and saw that another rough guy came in and poured a circle of tea, and someone asked about the reason, but the answer of the little guy almost didn't choke people.
"That's the person that the eldest young master has taken a fancy to, who knows what the origin is!"
Wang Shikun naturally didn't know that a rough little servant of his own family had said something unkind, but he had smeared him again among the visitors. After he took Wu Shouzheng to the car, seeing that this person was looking around with a cramped face, he said angrily: "Don't put on this sneaky appearance when you go to the Wei State Mansion, otherwise I will be scolded by my eldest sister, and I won't be able to spare you!" ”
Wu Shouzheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he stammered, "Wei ...... The Duke of Wei's Mansion? ”
Seeing that Wang Shikun moved his chin to confirm this stubble, Wu Shouzheng immediately showed a more sincere and frightened expression, but he remembered the scene of going to see Xu Xun this morning. Thinking that the young young man had predicted this, he was in awe, and while lowering his head and pretending to be respectful, he had to carefully mark the words that had been prepared in his stomach. In this way, he is naturally absent-minded along the way. Although Wang Shikun didn't care about his attitude, the little guy who was waiting on the side was sent to Wang Shikun by Mrs. Wang, so he had to take his situation to heart.
At this time, although there is no night curfew, but the pedestrians on the street have gradually decreased, as soon as the carriage drove into the wooden archway at the west end of Changfu Street, immediately slowed down, the entourage walking with the car in front of him had already had a leg galloping to the west corner door of the Zhongshan Palace, both hands into the post, after a while, the west corner door gave way to the road, not even checked, just let a person wait in. The carriage made two turns in the road, but stopped in front of a small courtyard.
As soon as Wu Shouzheng, who jumped out of the car with Wang Shikun, landed, he quickly looked at the corner of his eye for a moment, and then bowed his head and entered the room in the center under the guidance of the person. After sitting down, he opened his mouth to thank him first, and noticed that Wang Shikun did not follow up, and his heart couldn't help but be even more up. However, a longer wait followed, and after a long time his cup of tea was dry, and his stomach began to growl, and after a long time, there was a sound of speech behind the screen in the center. He secretly raised his eyes to look at the gap under the screen, and saw a number of delicate embroidered shoes embroidered with flowers and birds passing underneath, and he was stunned for a moment.
"But Wu Yuanwai?"
Hearing this question, Wu Shouzheng jumped up from the chair with a spirit, wanted to give it up but felt too disrespectful, kowtowed and was afraid that people would be abrupt, so he hurriedly made a big bow almost ninety degrees, and then said respectfully: "It is Xiaomin, I have seen Mrs. Wei Guo." ”
"Wu Yuanwai doesn't need to be polite, but it's okay to sit." There was a soft-spoken voice from inside the screen, but under this voice, there was no trace of the rest of the voices in the whole room, as if the rest of the people were holding their breath, "Brother Shei has always been stubborn, and there are many places to offend people, Wu Yuanwai looks at him as young as he is, but please mention a few more words." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Wu Shouzheng, who had just sat down diagonally, hurriedly jumped up again, and slammed into the ground again, "Xiaomin is just a vulgar person, where can he talk about guiding Wang Gongzi." ”
"Oh? Wu Yuanwai was too modest, if you hadn't specially informed him before, how would the younger brother know who the guest Fu Gonggong had invited at the banquet before was sacred, and how could he have uncovered this stubble? can smoothly make up for this matter, Wu Yuanwai has made great contributions, and the concubine has to thank Wu Yuanwai for it. ”
Although it was just an understatement, Wu Shouzheng trembled in his heart when he heard it, and remembered that Xu Xun had reminded him that it was best to tell the truth, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Mrs. Wei Guo's words, Xiaomin really dare not take it. Xiaomin didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence, the person he had only met once in Bai Yueli was actually a guest of Gonggong Fu, and now he thinks about it incredible. Here's the thing......"
Originally, he went to see Xu Xun that morning and wanted to spend money to open up the joint to see Yin Wuxiong of Yingtianfu truthfully, but he jumped to Qingping Building with Wang Shikun in the evening, and asked the little guy about Fu Gong's origin, and finally talked about waiting outside for a long time to send Xu Xun back, and he encountered the fire in Taipingli again. At first, he stumbled a little, but gradually he calmed down, and he described himself vividly.
Behind the screen, Mrs. Wang was wearing a half-worn stone blue cross-collar placket shirt, looking simple, but with a bit of detachment common to nobles. She leaned on the Taishi chair and listened thoughtfully to Wu Shouzheng's words, and from time to time looked at Wang Shikun on the side and the little guy next to him who had not dared to look up, seeing that the two of them did not show any different colors for Wu Shouzheng's words, and the little guy nodded lightly every time she arrived at a key place, she knew that the person outside did not dare to speak, so she naturally looked pale when she listened. However, at the end, Wu Shouzheng's words as if he suddenly woke up made her smile suddenly.
"Mrs. Haojiao learned that when Xiaomin once set up a banquet for Xu Liuye to congratulate Gao Sheng, she saw someone give this Xu Qigongzi a big red name thorn. Xiaomin inquired, except for those who ordered Hanlin, only the old men who came out of this inner study hall could use such colors of famous thorns in Pingshu. That Xu Qigongzi didn't know many people, Xiaomin was terrified, it was for the sake of that big red thorn, Xiaomin followed Wang Gongzi to Qingping Building on the morning of the day, he remembered to go to Xu Qigongzi to get a way, but he hit a nail. According to Xiaomin's later speculation, most of them were given by Fu Gonggong. ”
The surprise on Mrs. Wang's face came and went quickly, and she returned to normal in a moment. Asked Wu Shouzheng a few words lightly, and she instructed the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper on the side to go out and pass a table of guest meals for Wu Shouzheng to use, and when the people went out, she withdrew the waiters on the left and right, leaving only two henchmen, and then reached out to summon Wang Shikun.
"Then did Xu Xun tell you that Gonggong Fu gave him a big red name thorn?"
"Nope." Wang Shikun shook his head depressedly, and said angrily, "He only told me that it was the first time he and Gonggong Fu met in Qingping Building...... This kid dares to scorn me! ”
"That's not to blame you, this son knows measure, not those frivolous people." Mrs. Wang smiled, and the golden step on her head trembled slightly with her chuckle, "If you get the name of Gonggong Fu and swagger around, then I will definitely order you to stay away." Now it seems that since Gonggong Fu gave him such good things, he may have promised him something...... In this way, you go to his place tonight to take a look, if there is anything, you should come down if it is convenient, and it can be regarded as a good fate for Fu Gonggong! ”
ps: I recommend a book, "Heraldic Fury", an old author who used to write "Tang Xingdang", with high quality. Speaking of reading other people's books, the recommended vote has to vote for me ^_^
