Chapter 143: The Red Tent (1)

A smile flashed in Wei Qiao's eyes, this Zheng Wangfu is much stronger than the Liwang Mansion.

Wei Qiao nodded and followed behind the old man. King Zheng is the fifteenth son of the first emperor, once led the army to suppress the rebellion in the west, after the death of the first emperor was recalled by the current emperor, and now he is just an idle prince in Jinling. However, there is no one who can compete with the current emperor for the throne and survive the defeat!

This King Zheng is the same, although he is not as powerful as King Jin, but with King Jin as a shield, King Zheng in the shadows, no one knows how big his strength is and how much it has swelled. But one thing is for sure, his ambitions are undiminished!

The old man's steps were very fast, and Wei Qiao's lazy surname couldn't keep up, but the old man didn't seem to look back, and he still walked like a fly.

Wei Qiao smiled indifferently, pacing slowly, while secretly thinking, he must bring the short bow with him when he goes back today.

One is fast and the other is slow, and the distance between the two suddenly widened by nearly five feet!

The old man frowned slightly, and looked back at Wei Qiao with some displeasure.

Wei Qiao's surname is a very good talker, and if you are polite, he will naturally not sweep your face. But if you don't give face, he will feel that he doesn't have enough face, and naturally he can't give it to others.

Wei Qiao's steps were even slower, and he lowered his head and walked leisurely, but in his heart he was thinking about the purpose of King Zheng looking for him. According to his guess, King Zheng should not know that this gold medal is on him. But if he suddenly attracted the attention of King Zheng and came to woo him like King Jin, Wei Qiao didn't believe it.

At least for a period of time, after all, too many so-called young talents have died in their careers. It's a bit of a rush to get chips now.

The old man saw that Wei Qiao was still moving slowly, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said lightly: "Lord Wei, don't let the prince wait for a long time." ”

Wei Qiao raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes and looked at this old man with a face like withered pine bark, and was quite surprised.

A subordinate is so domineering, so what kind of character is King Zheng?

Wei Qiao glanced at him lightly, but his footsteps were still at that speed. Although he couldn't help but give face to King Zheng, this person shook his face - he was not qualified.

Seeing that Wei Qiao's speed remained unchanged, the old man's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes became cold.

Wei Qiao was indifferent, pacing slowly, and in the teahouse opposite, he could vaguely see someone observing him.

The old man snorted lightly, and his speed couldn't help but slow down. In any case, he is a subordinate, and Wei Qiao's identity is special and a guest, so he can't be more polite.

followed the old man to the teahouse, and Wei Qiaosuo no longer pondered, and went up to the third floor with a light smile.

"This is the first genius in Jinling, Wei Liyuanwei, right? It's been a long time! ”

Dressed in casual clothes that are not gorgeous, refreshing and neat, with soft facial features, smiling eyes, calm and indifferent, and a confident smile gives people an elegant atmosphere.

Wei Qiao also clenched his fists and smiled: "Xiaguan has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

This Prince Zheng hurriedly took two steps forward to hold Wei Qiao's arm, and said, "Brother Wei has seen the outside, and he is just an ordinary person below, although his father is King Zheng, but we are ordinary people." If Brother Wei can afford it, he will call me Zhou Ming, and he will only talk about Fengyue today, regardless of anything else. ”

This is a bit unexpected by Wei Qiao, I thought that this son of the world was also a domineering and awe-inspiring character, I didn't want to have such a demeanor?

Wei Qiao's heart turned slightly, whether he was true or false, he withdrew his arm and said with a light smile: "Then if you are in the next courtesy, you will call Brother Zhou." ”

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "Very good, very good, please sit down." ”

Wei Qiao followed his gesture and sat down at the table with a faint smile.

Zhou Ming shouted for tea, looked at Wei Qiao and said with a smile, "I have also heard Brother Wei's article below, I really have no match, and the first talent in Jinling deserves it!" ”

Wei Qiao smiled and said, "World, Brother Zhou is smiling, it is all Uncle Qin's love." ”

Zhou Ming saw that Wei Qiao was calm, and said with a smile: "Brother Wei doesn't need to be polite, what I said below is the truth, I believe that soon, the entire Great Qi will know Brother Wei's name, and at that time, Brother Wei's talent will definitely be the best in the world!" ”

Wei Qiao naturally knew that he was referring to the "Anecdote of Taizu".

Wei Qiao shook his head and said with a light smile: "Brother Zhou is high, I really don't dare to be a ...... in Xia."

Zhou Ming's eyes flashed slightly, and the smile in his eyes gradually decreased.

Zhou Ming looked at Wei Qiao with a smile and said, "I don't know if Brother Wei has a masterpiece recently?" "Although the smile on his face has not diminished in quantity, it has changed in quality.

Wei Qiao nodded and said, "There are a few songs, but they are not masterpieces." ”

When Zhou Ming heard this, he smiled and said, "That's good, you might as well tell Brother Wei that I was entrusted by Jinling Genius to invite Brother Wei to participate in the Mochou Poetry Club." ”

Wei Qiao's brows furrowed slightly.

"Brother Wei, is there a problem?" Zhou Ming's eyes were always staring at Wei Qiao's face, and when he saw him frowning, he couldn't help but lean closer and asked in a low voice.

Wei Qiao didn't have much interest in these gatherings, so he shirked and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhou, in fact, my father made a rule before his death that he was not allowed to participate in this kind of poetry assembly. ”

"Oh? Why? "Although Zhou Ming asked like this, the doubts in his heart have been reduced a lot. No wonder he is very low-key, it turns out that he is limited by family rules, so it is no wonder that he disappeared after just a glimpse of the Buddha. ’

Wei Qiao shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Zhou Ming nodded, his eyes rolled, and said, "Actually, Brother Wei doesn't have to mind, although the name of this time is a poetry club, it is actually a good opportunity to exchange experiences with talented people from all over Jinling." Brother Wei might as well just pass by and listen, and you don't have to speak and compose poems. ”

Seeing that he refused to give up, Wei Qiao's heart turned slightly, and said, "Is this really possible?" ”

"No problem!" Zhou Ming nodded affirmatively.

Wei Qiao nodded faintly, lowered his head and groaned. He is also curious about this unfathomable King Zheng, and he thinks that this poetry meeting is probably not as simple as poetry.

Zhou Ming saw that Wei Qiao didn't speak, and said with a smile, "Brother Wei, when the cruise ship is about three or five friends, it is so comfortable and chic to talk about Fengyue in the lake, don't worry." ”

Wei Qiao raised his head and smiled, and said, "Okay, just listen to Brother Zhou, I also want to see the style of Jinling talents!" ”

"Haha, that's right!" Zhou Ming laughed and said, "When the time comes, I will send someone to invite Brother Wei, and then introduce three or five friends to Brother Wei, and I will definitely have a good time." ”

Seeing that he was so excited, Wei Qiao's heart turned slightly, and he smiled faintly.

Zhou Ming saw that Wei Qiao agreed, so he clenched his fists and smiled: "Then it's decided, Brother Wei don't think about it." ”

-- This is an eviction order.

Wei Qiao smiled, stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Then I will say goodbye, thank you Brother Zhou for the invitation." ”

Zhou Ming also stood up and said with a smile: "Hehe, Brother Wei is leaving, Li Bo will send Brother Wei for me." ”

"Yes." The old man, who had been standing not far away, nodded indifferently.

Wei Qiao hugged his fist at Zhou Ming again, turned around and walked downstairs in the lead, and the old man followed behind Wei Qiao.

Wei Qiao walked out of the teahouse, and the old man stopped, and after watching Wei Qiao take more than a dozen steps, he turned around and walked back.

Wei Qiao walked more than twenty steps, turned his head slowly, and looked up at the third floor.

Seeing that there was no figure, Wei Qiao smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth. He didn't know if King Zheng was also there today, but he was sure that when he came, the person who was observing him on the third floor was not His Royal Highness the Prince of the World!

―― Eyes are different!

"It seems that the turmoil has started, and it will really be magnificent in the future."

――When the backs of Wei Qiao and Xu Mao were about to disappear around the corner, two figures appeared on the third floor of the teahouse, at the railing.

-- A stout middle-aged man, dressed in a golden suit, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, cold and hard eyebrows, an extremely clear and obvious scar on the left side of his face, and a silent aura all over his body, with a decisive appearance.

The other is Zhou Ming just now. Na Libo now does not know where he went.

Zhou Ming looked at the corner where Wei Qiao had just left with a light smile, and said to the middle-aged man, "Father, although this person has some talents, he is not afraid. ”

The middle-aged man is the fifteenth son of the first emperor, the current King Zheng, Zhou Zhen.

"Tell me about it." Zhou Zhen still looked at the place where Wei Qiao disappeared, his brows were slightly furrowed, there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes, his eyes flashed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Zhou Ming recalled Wei Qiao's deliberately suppressed smug smile just now, and said confidently, "I tested it just now, his surname is soft, he doesn't have amazing courage and decisiveness, and he is not a person who does big things." ”

Zhou Zhen turned his head to look at him, and with just one glance, Zhou Ming felt a chill in his heart and didn't dare to look at him.

Zhou Zhen turned his head again with an indifferent expression, and said lightly: "Don't jump to conclusions." ”

Zhou Ming's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Father, did you find something?" ”

Zhou Zhen frowned, then let go again, and said lightly: "No." But don't underestimate my imperial sister-in-law, if it weren't for Zhou Tai being too uncompetitive, King Li's Mansion would have become the East Palace a long time ago. ”

- Besides, it would be easy to get the attention of those few people!

But he didn't say it.

Zhou Ming looked startled, but he was a little unconvinced, and said: "Father, isn't this Wei Qiao favored by the Fu family's martial arts, and she wants to get the support of the two families through him?" Is there anything else we don't know about? ”

Zhou Zhen snorted lightly and said, "Don't underestimate a person easily. Whether it was snatching that gold medal or the later rumors about succeeding Zhou Tai, my imperial sister-in-law's methods were really admirable. If it weren't for the fact that the city in the palace was too deep, with her means, Zhou Tai would have been sent to the East Palace a long time ago. Hmph, that one has no heirs, and now he is not in good health, and some small fish and shrimp have jumped out. ”

Zhou Ming didn't speak, he knew that in the imperial court, the remarks about the establishment of the crown prince were quietly brewing, and it was expected that soon, there would be a storm.

Wei Qiao went to find Han Won non-stop, and Han Won happened to be there. Then I went to Yiyun's Reading Building, but she wasn't there. Wei Qiao ran to the western suburbs again, but unfortunately, Master Yinkong went out to visit his old friend.

Wei Qiao visited some people he knew well, and invited all the people he thought he could invite, and then walked back with a sour body.

Without thinking about the door, Wei Qiao directly chose to go through the back door.

"Young master, young master, you're back." As soon as the two little girls saw Wei Qiao coming back, they immediately surrounded them with a little blushing and fluttering, with a look of excitement.

Wei Qiao smiled and said, "Well, fetch water and take a bath." With that, he turned and walked towards the study.

The two little girls hurriedly agreed and rushed out.

They were really shocked when they were helping out in the front yard. It was crowded with people, crowding people from person to person in the courtyard, and gift-givers were piled up in several rooms. And those famous posts are basically more than five grades! According to the meaning of the old housekeeper, that is, those below the fifth grade will not be accepted!

The crumbling Wei family was turned upside down all of a sudden, which really made them a little uncomfortable with excitement, and even a little at a loss.

Of course, it wasn't just the two of them, but everyone else was even worse.

Wei Qiao naturally didn't know the changes in his family's minds, put the things he got today into the drawer, thought about it, and took out a dagger and a short bow.

Soaking in the tub, he carefully recalled today's events.

Wang Yuanhui's face must be beaten, and he has to be beaten loudly. There should be no problem on the side of the Imperial Tower, and he can be regarded as a person with a mountain. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu personally came forward, and the power of King Jin can be seen. However, according to Fu Mingzheng's attitude towards Wang Yuanhui, it can be inferred that Fu Mansion and Jin Wangfu are not dealing with each other, and they have to guard against cold guns and hidden arrows in the future. Rite princess? It's hard to say this woman now, he doesn't think that the Liwang Mansion is as simple as it seems, but it should be regarded as neither friend nor foe. King Zheng? This person has always been relatively low-key, and Han Won has not collected much information about him, and even if there is, he has covered it up without too much introduction. Well, it's hard to define at the moment.

Mochou Poetry Club? Wei Qiao muttered softly in his heart.

"Young master, young master, Madame, please come over." Wei Qiao was thinking about it, and the little girl outside the door couldn't hide her excitement and shouted.

"Ao" Weiqiao agreed, and with a bang, he got out of the bathtub, dried it, changed his clothes, and opened the door.

Wan'er stood at the door, and naturally came up to sort out Wei Qiao's clothes, "Young master, Madam sent someone to say, it's almost over there, please come over." ”

Wei Qiao looked up at the sky, although it was not dark yet, he estimated that there was still foreplay. Stretching out his arms, he said while watching Wan'er take care of herself: "Who have you invited?" ”

Wan'er revolved around Wei Qiao, and then took a towel to wipe his hair, and whispered, "There are a lot, in addition to my own family, there are also some foreign shopkeepers, and there are a lot of people who didn't leave, and there are some adults." It's all big shots. ”

Wei Qiao smiled, he has seen a lot of big people today. Thinking of the big guys, he suddenly remembered that he had to find time to visit Shoufu and his future father-in-law recently, and this matter really couldn't be delayed.

After pulling his hair and tidying up his clothes, Wei Qiao dressed up carefully again, holding a folding fan, and walked towards Li Xiluan.

The courtyard in front of Li Xiluan's small building is not small, and today's celebration is also there.

"Young Master, Miss is asking me to invite you." As soon as Wei Qiao entered the courtyard, the fish happened to come over.

Wei Qiao said 'um' and asked casually, "There are a lot of people here?" ”

Yu'er followed Wei Qiao's side, a little behind by half a step, and secretly looked at him, this young master was not at all what she could imagine, and quietly pursed her mouth and said: "Well, there are many relatives and friends of the Wei family, and there are many officials of all sizes in Jinling, and there are some shopkeepers who stayed in Jinling and did not leave, there are hundreds of people." ”

Wei Qiao was shocked when he heard that there were hundreds, he thought that about a hundred would be a lot, but hundreds came at once, which was a bit scary.

But think about it, now the Chen family is like a hollowed-out behemoth, which will collapse at any time, and he is now in the spring breeze, and it is normal for many people to come to stammer.

However, Wei Qiao still frowned a little, the tree was very popular, and he had to talk to Li Xiluan at night.

Well, let's talk about it.

Wei Qiao had a strange smile on the corner of his mouth and strode inside.

"Wei Gongzi, Wei Gongzi, it's really Wei Gongzi......"

"Wei Gongzi, I am the ...... of the Tian family in Chuzhou"

"Wei Gongzi, in the Zhu family in Jinling, ......"

"Lord Wei, the villain is the official ......"

"Lord Wei, the villain is the ...... of Dali Temple"

"Lord Wei, the villain is ......"

Along the way, people who saw Wei Qiao would come around and bow their hands. Wei Qiao smiled calmly, and took the fish straight to Li Xiluan's small building.

These people don't know any of them, and then tell themselves, can they remember?

It was very difficult to kill Li Xiluan's small building, and hearing the laughter from inside, Wei Qiao knew that the people inside were relatively important today.

"Uncle." As soon as Wei Qiao stepped into the door, Li Xiluan stood up and laughed softly.

Today she has a long white shawl, a purple-red belly pocket, and a floral long skirt under her waist. The delicate body is slender and graceful, the breasts are tall and straight, slender as willows, the pretty face is delicate as snow, and the touching and charming smile is even more glamorous.

Wei Qiao's heart was a little restless, but looking at the crowd around him, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, shopkeeper Qian, shopkeeper Xie, second uncle, third uncle, seventh brother, yell, shopkeeper Li... Well? Who are these two? ”

Li Xiluan's eyes were moving, her eyes were as beautiful as water, and she stood beside him with a faint fragrance, and said with a light smile: "This is Master Yun, this is Brother Yun Fei." ”

Wei Qiao hurriedly said 'oh', and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Master Yun, congratulations to Brother Yun!" ”

Master Yun is now in his fifties and sixties, and he can still be reserved when he laughs, but Yun Fei, who seems to be in his early thirties, is a little difficult to hold himself, and he hugged his fist at Wei Qiao and said: "Thank you to Master Wei, this time I was able to be released, Yun Mou is unforgettable!" ”

Wei Qiao hurriedly helped him up, and said with a light smile: "Brother Yun, don't be like this, the Yun family can help the Wei family in distress without giving up and sparing no effort, my sister-in-law and I know it in our hearts, now it is considered to be bitter and sweet, where can we forget the benefactor." ”

Master Yun nodded again and again after hearing this, and looked at Wei Qiao with a look of relief and emotion: "The virtuous nephew has the legacy of Wei Gong, and Wei Gong Jiuquan should also laugh three times." Fei'er, just keep it in mind. ”

Yun Fei's face was still extremely excited, and he nodded heavily at Wei Qiao.

Wei Qiao smiled faintly and said to a few people: "Sit down, invite everyone to drink today, don't talk about the rest." ”

Several people looked at each other and nodded and smiled.

Li Xiluan quietly gave up Wei Qiao to the main position and sat next to him.

Wei Qiao understood what she meant, smiled lightly, and did not refuse, so he sat down.
