Chapter Ninety-Four: The Birthday Banquet of the Qi Mansion
Wu Jin hesitated, he still put down the vase and slowly walked out of the hidden water building from the opposite door, opposite is a fishing pavilion, just now the few women who watched the fish were crowded in the pavilion to watch the fish, the laughter almost overturned the small jade pavilion, provoked a few dignified old men on the second floor of the hidden water wanted to pretend to leave angrily, but the soul was hooked again, so they had to stare at them and shake their heads and sigh.
Wu Jin didn't have the heart to look at those women, he was still floating in the purple dress in his mind, but he lost his goal, and he was missing from the small jade pavilion.
He felt something, and when he turned around, he saw Qi Fengwu standing behind him, looking at him with a smile, but her smile was somewhat hypocritical, but her eyes were full of coldness.
"If you don't want to laugh, you don't have to laugh, maybe you and I can be more comfortable." Wu Jin said lightly.
The smile immediately disappeared from Qi Fengwu's face, and she also said coldly: "Actually, I don't want to see you, it's my grandfather who wants to see you, let me invite you over, it's up to you whether you go or not." ”
Qi Fengwu is arrogant, she is still very cold to Wu Jin, even colder than before, she doesn't want Wu Jin to think that she will change her attitude because of his promotion, she will never look at his background to a person.
"Whatever you want, I won't go with you just because you smile at me, but since you came to me, of course I should go with you in politeness."
Wu Jin nodded politely and smiled, "I'm your guest, aren't I?" ”
"I'm afraid you're a little self-conscious, you're my grandfather's guest, not mine."
Qi Fengwu sneered, and added: "I also sent more than a dozen invitations, but without you, I'm sorry, there are no royals in my circle of friends, they are all businessmen." ”
"Oh well! Please tell your grandfather that I wish him a long life. ”
After speaking, Wu Jin turned around and left, he could see that Qi Fengwu was pretending to be cold, he didn't like it, and he didn't want to see the old lady of the Qi family, what did it have to do with him.
Qi Fengwu snorted, turned around and walked in the opposite direction, but after walking more than a dozen steps, she couldn't help biting her lip again, she knew what her grandfather asked Wujin to do? It is about the fake silver ticket, this matter is very important, it is related to the survival of Qi Dafu Money, and Qi Dafu Money Village has accounted for thirty percent of the Qi family's industry, if Qi Dafu Money Village has a problem, it is likely to drag down the Qi family, now is not the time to make a surname.
She bit her lip fiercely, turned around and chased after Wu Jin again..... At this time, Wu Jin had already crossed the Hidden Water Building, standing by the bridge, looking at the direction of the tent, since he had already signed in the guest book, then he could go back.
Just as a carriage to pick up people was coming from the direction of the tent, Wu Jin stretched out his hand and shouted, "Stop!" ”
The carriage stopped in front of him, he pulled the car door and was about to enter, Qi Fengwu chased him out, and she shouted urgently: "Huangfu Wujin!" ”
Wu Jin paused, but he still got into the carriage and ordered, "Go to the gate!" ”
The coachman was just about to raise the whip, Qi Fengwu was a little anxious, and shouted: "The carriage is not allowed to go!" ”
The coachman was startled, he knew that this was Miss Qi, and he didn't dare to whip the whip.
Qi Fengwu sighed, stepped forward and pulled the car door, and said to Wu Jin: "I'm sorry, I apologize to you!" ”
Wu Jin shook his head, "Miss Qi, in fact, I don't want to come, I have never been interested in this kind of large gathering, it is because my grandfather asked me to come for him, so I have to come, I really want to go back, it has nothing to do with your attitude just now, you don't have to apologize, I just think this party makes me unhappy." ”
Qi Fengwu also boarded the carriage, sat opposite Wujin, and said apologetically: "Prince Huangfu, you are a guest of the Qi family, and it is the responsibility of the Qi family to make the guests feel unhappy, please stay, we will improve and make you satisfied." ”
After a pause, she added, "Now can you go and meet my grandfather, he invited you over and has something very important to talk to you about." ”
After speaking, she looked at Wu Jin with anticipation, the coldness in her eyes had disappeared, in fact, to a large extent, she pretended to be cold because of a kind of self-esteem, she didn't hate Wu Jin so much, last time in the jewelry building, Wu Jin sold a box of jewelry to her father, and helped her father a big favor, she was more or less grateful to him in her heart.
Wu Jin nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not happy and has nothing to do with your Qi family, I just came over in the same carriage with Huangfu Yibiao, it was he who swept my interest, since your grandfather invited me on a special trip, I should also go out of politeness." ”
Qi Fengwu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately ordered the coachman, "Go to the Songhe Pavilion!" ”
The carriage turned around and slowly headed west along another path.
"Huangfu Gongzi, what do you think of our Qi family's birthday banquet this time?" Qi Fengwu didn't want to be cold, so he deliberately asked for a topic.
Wu Jin smiled, "In polite words, it is very grand, it makes the guests return, and it is very imposing." ”
"And what about in rude terms?" Qi Fengwu could hear what he was saying.
Wu Jin smiled faintly, "In impolite words, it's four words, the way to take trouble!" ”
Qi Fengwu was stunned, "What did Childe say about this?" ”
"In the past, Shi Chong and Wang Kai fought for wealth, because of their noble status and strong power in the court, so the powerful people in the court were more envious than jealous, and today the Qi family is a businessman Chen Yin 100,000 competing for luxury, only the grandeur of the carriage at the door is breathtaking, not only that, but also outside the city to build a 400-acre villa, so that the royal family is out of reach, may I ask Miss Qi, will this make some people angry? If so, will it be envy or jealousy? ”
Qi Fengwu was silent, this emperor Wujin was right, the Qi family just wanted to use this opportunity to create influence and achieve the purpose of restoring the title, but they forgot that people's hearts are unpredictable, which will make the villain jealous of the Qi family's wealth, the Qi family is just a businessman, without power and power, how can it compete with the court magnates, if someone slanders and annoys the emperor, find an excuse to exile the Qi family, this time the Qi family is too high-profile, it is indeed a bit of a mistake.
"Then according to Childe's intentions, is there a way to remedy it?"
Wu Jin smiled, "Actually, there is no way, with the wisdom of the Qi family, you should think of it, you don't need me to talk too much." ”
Qi Fengwu glanced at him deeply, and said lightly: "I really can't think of whether the son can teach me." ”
"It's just a little bit of an opinion, and if Miss doesn't like my suggestion, it's okay for me to talk about it."
"Childe is too humble, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Wu Jin smiled slightly and said: "The solution is very simple, it doesn't matter if others are jealous, the key is not to annoy the emperor, then there is only one way, to make the emperor happy, how to make the emperor happy?" Of course, you can't give gifts directly to the emperor, but you can give gifts to the inner palace, there are four people, if the Qi family can please them, I think the Qi family will not only not be unlucky, but also a blessing in disguise, and the title may be restored. ”
Qi Fengwu hurriedly asked, "May I ask Son, which four people are they?" ”
Wu Jin stretched out a finger, "The first one is the Empress Dowager Jing'an, and in half a month it will be the Empress Dowager Jing'an's sixty-ninth birthday, not many people know this, the Empress Dowager is important to the emperor, I don't say, the Qi family should know?" ”
"However, I heard that the Queen Mother is in seclusion, and no one can see her."
"This ..... If the Qi family can trust me, I can ask my grandfather to run for you. ”
Qi Fengwu was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "Then thank you Gongzi for your help, I don't know who the second person is?" ”
"The second person is Empress Shen, her important surname is known to everyone in the world, what she likes, the Qi family should also be inquired, and the third person is the emperor's henchman eunuch Ma Yuanzhen, with his secret help, even if someone impeaches the Qi family, the emperor will not know."
Qi Fengwu's dissatisfaction and indifference to Wu Jin in her heart have completely disappeared, his suggestions are very good, her father or grandfather may not be able to think of it, she has always looked down on Wu Jin in the past, even if Wu Jin is a royal family, she also thinks that it is just a good fate, but at this moment, she realized that this emperor Wu Jin has a clear mind, a unique vision, and a talent that ordinary people can't match, and the prejudice against him in her heart began to gradually change.
"And who's the last one?"
"The last person is Shen Cairen, who has just been crowned by the emperor, and it is said that she is the niece of Empress Shen, and I suggest that the Qi family befriend her with generous gifts."
"But... She is just a five-grade talent, and her status is not high, is it useful to befriend her? ”
Wu Jin glanced at her and said with a smile: "Miss Qi, I just want to remind you of one thing, this woman is used by the Shen family to replace Queen Shen, it can be seen that she is a big bet made by the Shen family, if she is not in good condition, will the Shen family send her to the palace?" If she doesn't attract the emperor, will the emperor risk the disapproval of the world, regardless of morality, and include her aunt and niece in the harem together? Miss Qi, there are some things that should not be deceived by illusions, but must see through the essence of things. ”
Qi Fengwu nodded silently, she remembered these four people, and she immediately told her grandfather about it.
"Huangfu Gongzi, I am really grateful for your advice to our Qi family, I apologized to you again for my rudeness to you just now, sincerely apologize."
"Miss Qi, you're welcome, in fact, I also have a careful eye."
Wu Jin couldn't help but smile apologetically: "That piece of land north of the bridge has been obtained by me from Uncle Ling, Miss Wang, don't take it seriously." ”
Qi Fengwu glanced at him, and couldn't help laughing: "I still don't believe it, the title deed of that piece of land is obviously my name, how could it be taken away by you, I have never been able to figure out how you can get it?" ”
"Actually, it's very simple, a hundred taels of silver can do it."
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both smiled at the same time, Qi Fengwu was funny and angry, and she said hatefully: "This Weiyang County Government Mansion is simply too dark. ”
"This is called the opening of the yamen, and there is no reason to come in without money."
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped in front of a building, and the coachman reminded in front, "Miss, it's here!" ”
Qi Fengwu pushed the car door and smiled at Wu Jin: "Childe, it's here, please come with me." ”
Wu Jin got off the carriage with her, only to see that this is a three-storey vermilion octagonal wooden building, the whole small building is integrated, the shape is very exquisite and elegant, the plaque on the door reads the words 'Songhe Pavilion', he looked back and looked into the distance, about a mile away from the hidden water building.
"Childe, please come with me."
Qi Fengwu pushed the door and walked into the small building, "Grandfather, the prince of the emperor is here." ”
