Chapter 2: The Su Family
In the wide carriage swaying slightly, Xie Xiuqi quietly listened to the history of Wangbei Mansion that Li Xi kept telling, and his eyes were already full of amazement.
Immediately, he remembered the so-called "weird" Yongzu King's living note.
Republic? It's about the warlords of the Central Plains who fought during the Republic of China, which led to the fact that the dogs were able to take advantage of the situation. If it was a unified country at that time, even if the technology was a little worse, I am afraid that the dogs would not have fought so easily and comfortably in the early stage.
He thought about it, and he was even more ridiculous - looking at himself in the mirror, handsome? The master of the army? Handsome sister......
However, this TM is the traverser...... Even what he said casually would be secretly written down and regarded as a treasure...... Even coincidentally, he was once again added with a layer of apotheosis - blowing up the sky, there is wood.
was full of sighs on his face, but after seeing that Li Xi finished speaking, he was already looking at the young man with great disdain.
"If you don't learn and don't know how to do it, even this girl has to talk about it...... As a native of Wangbei, I don't even know that it is almost equivalent to the history of the empire, and the history of Wangbei that is familiar to the people of the empire? I don't know how someone thought that the gunpowder was weird because it reacted with the metal......"
She muttered with anger on her face.
Xie Xiuqi was stunned, and before he could speak, An Xuan, who had been in the same car with Li Xi and his maids for a few days, and who had gradually become familiar with the master and servant of the Li family, had already pursed his lips and smiled: "Miss Xi, have you forgotten, my young master also forgot the past because of the great changes that night, so he didn't know about it." β
Li Xi was immediately furious when he heard this: "You are a dead girl, won't you help me once?" See that I don't tear your mouth apart. β
The two little girls, who had seen each other at first sight, suddenly started giggling and playing in the car.
Xie Xiuqi smiled wryly.
was secretly shaking his head, but he heard a surprise cry from the second tiger outside the car: "Young master, Fucheng has arrived." β
Xie Xiuqi was stunned, he opened the curtain of the car and saw that at the junction of the sea and the sky, under the brilliant sunlight, the quaint and magnificent Xiongcheng standing quietly had once again jumped into his eyes.
β¦β¦
The flow of people is like weaving and orderly.
Wangbei Mansion opened the city gate in this way, and slowly incorporated several carriages into his arms.
Li Xi had already followed her carriage and went to find her uncle. At this time, it was An Qian and Xie Xiuqi who were in the same car, and they went to the house of Lu Zi and Na Zhi's friend.
Su Mansion is not very far from the south gate of Wangbei Mansion where Xie Xiuqi entered the city, and is located in a quiet area of Wangbei Mansion South City. Further north, there is the Fuxue that Xie Xiuqi has been to once, and then there is the Supervision and Embassy Office. It's close, too.
Xie Xiuqi couldn't help but open the curtain of the car and look outside, and there was already a strange light in his eyes.
When I came to Fucheng that day, I was so anxious that I was just looking at the flowers.
However, this time, he really appreciated the unique charm of Wangbei Mansion City. Not to mention the thick history, although there is no first-class fleet stationed, it is still a majestic harbor with thousands of sails. The bustling flow of people on the street alone made Xie Xiuqi amazed, as if he had come to a modern immigrant city.
All kinds of words, all kinds of Chinese voices, all kinds of tones, set off the noon of Wangbei Mansion to a fiery scene. Even, Xie Xiuqi also saw a lot of Japanese warriors dressed as Japanese warriors in the crowd.
Seeing that Xie Xiuqi had been looking at the Japanese in the crowd in surprise, An Qian had already said softly: "Young Master, that is a vassal country of the empire, a warrior of the Japanese country. β
"I know that, but the question is, what are they doing here?" Xie Xiuqi nodded and said.
An Qian pursed her lips and smiled: "What else can those Japanese ronins do when they come to my Far Song Dynasty?" Sell your life. Most of them were hired by the merchants of the empire and were used as escorts. You know, there are pirates on the big and small sea routes of the empire, how dare the merchants not hire some guards? β
"But the empire is rich and prosperous for the people, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, who wants to earn that money? Except for the unparalleled and glorious Imperial Royal Navy, no one wants to go to the sea as a merchant escort to fight to the death. β
After thinking about it, she smiled again: "Little maid, I heard that those larger caravans, and even armed merchant ships equipped with cannons, the Imperial Navy doesn't have so much energy to escort everywhere. And repeatedly fought with Xiyi, the empire would gather civilian armed merchant ships to supplement the main fleet and resist Xiyi. β
"Is that so?" Xie Xiuqi muttered and nodded.
During the Song Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom was always eager to kneel and lick China, and I knew this. After the Song Dynasty moved to Nanyang, it immediately rose again after a small decline, and became a maritime power that could be slapped to Tokyo if it was unhappy. It is reasonable for the Wa Kingdom to follow and respect.
Now, their warriors are fighting for the prosperity of our Great Song Dynasty, and they are even more happy to see it.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the second tiger whipping outside the carriage.
"Young master, it's here."
He lifted the curtain and said respectfully.
ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½
Su Wanlin looked at the respectful young man in front of him, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Why is he here?
He wondered.
The son of an old friend, Su Wanlin knows it very well.
Since the arson case came out and the old friend was forced to marry Yuwei's family, Su Wanlin not only sympathized, but also gritted his teeth with disgust - if it wasn't for him, why did the old friend fall to this? The proud daughter of the rain and the sky, why should she marry a shameless person?
A while ago, after an old friend scolded his future son-in-law for borrowing a sum of money to offset the debt of the Fang family's shipyard, the two families did not communicate again. I understand this very well - whoever has such a thing will not want to see a guest. I also took into account the mood of my old friends, and I never came to disturb me.
When it came to the rainy wedding period, the old friend didn't even invite himself. I also pretended to be deaf and dumb, and drank in the house for a long time, and I had to get by.
I thought everything was over, but a few days ago, there was news that the Supervision Envoy was made a big mess by a group of government scholars in the city, and it didn't take long for Changzhi to come with shocking news - the Supervision Envoy Si Yang Xiaogong led a team to go out in person, but it was on the wedding day, which not only made Yuwei's marriage contract invalid, but the Fang family's plan was to fight the chickens and eggs, and the Fang family directly handled a reverse case!
When the news came, Su Wanlin looked up to the sky and laughed, and even made an exception to drink a few more glasses during dinner at night.
Deserve! Isn't it that you are insatiable and daring, and Ann will be like this?
In addition to the great joy, Su Wanlin also cursed the Fang family fiercely, and felt even more happy - in fact, today, when capital has begun to gradually flourish, the merchants of the empire have gradually divided into two factions: one is the Confucian businessmen who abide by classical morality and etiquette, and the other is the outright profit chaser in the theory of capital.
Therefore, a Confucian businessman like Su Wanlin also looks down on people like the Fang family who are reckless and shameless, and only care about profit.
Subsequently, when Zheng'er and Shuang'er were even more worried about going to Changzhi to visit their Uncle Lu, Sister Yuwei, the Lu family came first.
It's just that it's not his future son-in-law who often interacts with him - it's his bastard brother, his old friend?
Su Wanlin unfolded the letterhead in his hand suspiciously, and under the ten lines at a glance, gradually, in surprise, the corners of his mouth also overflowed with a wry smile.
It's not easy to arrange......
He sighed in his heart, but he took a sip of the teacup slightly, and motioned to the young man sitting in front of him to sit down and use tea.
This time, he seems to have changed a lot? He has seen me in the past, but he has never seen a polite person, let alone such a restrained person in front of me, but he has never looked at anyone else except his father and sister, and now this is ......
Could it be that as the old friend said in the letter, since he was summoned by Grandpa Yang to investigate the Fang family's reverse case, and by the way, he also cleared his grievances, this bastard seems to have realized something, but he suddenly became sensible?
Looking carefully at the polite demeanor of the young man in front of him, Su Wanlin suddenly felt a little strange and even more confused.
And this little grandfather Yang, how could he appreciate such a bastard as him?
Su Wanlin thought again.
Do you think that this person is your own lucky star? The special science test is the way for the Gong clan to promote talents and cronies, and the quota is extremely precious, and a large number of pillars of the country such as the contemporary Wang Xiang and the deputy envoy Pan are all born from this. But Yang Zheng made this expedition, I'm afraid it's a little more like nonsense......
Every time Yongfu celebrates a new calendar, those little grandfathers and little marquis always make jokes, and now it seems that it is not true. It's just a fledgling and newborn calf like Grandpa Yang who is not afraid of tigers, so he can mess around like this...... It is said that he also taught Xie Xiuqi to make a big fuss about his own government office?
Su Wanlin thought about it for a while, and in the end, he shook his head with a smile.
"Father, is Uncle Lu's family here? But Brother Peng came to see me? Is Sister Yuwei here too-"
Before Su Wanlin could finish thinking about it, a burst of incense was already wrapped in a silver bell-like surprise laughter from the door of the front hall.
"Is that you?"
Su Ruoshuang looked at the young man who was smiling bitterly in the hall in a daze, her face changed, and after thinking about it, she bowed slightly to the young man who had already stood up and bowed.
"Yes...... It's you...... I still have something to do, so I don't have to accompany me. β
She said disappointedly, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, but she turned and left.
Xie Xiuqi, who had just finished saluting when he stood up, looked at the figure of the girl turning around and leaving, but he smiled bitterly again.
Damn it...... I knew that it would be like this, the bastard in front of me was really evil......
He laughed to himself in his heart.
Just as he was sitting down awkwardly, a young man's joking voice came from the hall door: "Little sister, what are you running, even if Yun Peng comes, you don't have to be in such a hurry to see love-"
"Lang bar......"
Then, the figure of the young man also appeared in front of the door, seeing that it was Xie Xiuqi, he was stunned, his smiling face suddenly stiffened, and the last two words of the joke were even more stunned and stuck in his throat, and it took a long time to spit it out.
"Oh...... It's you......"
He was also full of embarrassment.
"Frost, Zheng'er, where are you going?"
When the two little ones turned their heads together and were about to leave, Su Wanlin's rather majestic voice also sounded.
"You came just in time, Xie Xian's nephew was blessed by misfortune, and the supervision is making Lord Yang to conquer and come to Fucheng to take the special test. Now, he's going to stay at my house for some timeβ"
"What?"
Before Su Wanlin's words fell, the brother and sister were already in unison, and the look of surprise and resistance was even more overflowing.
