Chapter 46: The Wooden Box
Regarding the old man's attitude, although Zhou Zhenglong was not satisfied, he didn't show it on his face, and still said with a smile: "There is news from the capital that needs to be presented to Mr. Xu, I don't know if I can make a statement on my behalf?" If it hadn't been specially assigned by Luo Sigong, Zhou Zhenglong would have rushed in with someone a long time ago, when would Jinyiwei be so polite when he was looking for someone.
The old man nodded slowly and did not speak, just nodded, closed the door, turned and walked in.
Seeing the old man's appearance, a lieutenant came to Zhou Zhenglong's side flatteringly, and whispered: "My lord, why don't we rush in!" This is really detrimental to the prestige of our Jinyiwei. ”
Looking at his very good subordinates, Zhou Zhenglong suddenly felt that he had found a place to vent, slapped his subordinates hard, and said loudly: "You know a fart, you can only be a captain for the rest of your life." ”
Is this something that can rush in? Although I don't know how serious this matter is, I see that Luo Sigong is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, what is the attitude of a Jinyi Wei Qianhu!
After a short time, the door was opened again, and the old man glanced at Zhou Zhenglong, and said lightly: "My lord is invited, this lord please come in." ”
After listening to the old man's words, Zhou Zhenglong suddenly understood, this is to let himself go in alone! Turning back to the man behind him, he said, "You guys are waiting here." ”
Zhou Zhenglong, who followed the old man into the small courtyard, was a little surprised, because he saw a new waterwheel, and one end of the waterwheel was connected to a bamboo pipe. As the waterwheel rotates, the water from the pond slowly flows into the bamboo pipes. The clear water flowed slowly, slowly flowing to a place that the dragon could not see in the middle of the week.
If it is said that Xu Guangqi was respected just now because of Luo Sigong's advice, then at this time it is really respect from the heart, Zhou Zhenglong has not read many books, but he also knows some allusions. At this time, he suddenly felt that this Xu Guangqi was Mr. Zhuge who lived in seclusion in Wollongong, and such people must be capable people. But Zhou Zhenglong didn't think he was Liu Bei, and he didn't know what the result would be if he came here this time.
Following the old man into a small wooden building, Zhou Zhenglong was even more sure that there was a master living here, because he saw a map, which was the territory map of the entire Ming Dynasty. He was fortunate enough to see it at Luo Sigong's place, but he didn't expect that there was also one here, and it looked a little bigger than Luo Sigong.
"Wait a minute, my lord, I'll go and invite our master." The old man took Zhou Zhenglong into the first floor of the small building, paused slightly, and said softly.
"Excuse me, old man." As the saying goes, the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, this old Mr. Xu is so extraordinary, he will definitely soar if he thinks about it!
When Zhou Zhenglong was looking at the map in a daze, a voice startled him, and he quickly pulled out the embroidery knife on his waist.
"Stupid, stupid." didn't seem to pay attention to Zhou Zhenglong, and the strange voice continued to shout.
Looking at the voice, Zhou Zhenglong was stunned for a moment, because it was actually a bird that was speaking, a bird he had never seen before. The whole body is colorful, with a curved beak, and it looks beautiful.
Seeing Zhou Zhenglong staring at himself, the bird flapped its wings and shouted loudly: "Stupid, stupid, what to see, what to see." ”
Zhou Zhenglong didn't expect this bird to scold people, what kind of bird is there in a real place, and the birds around capable people are so powerful. Although he had seen a talking starling before, he was far from this bird.
When Zhou Zhenglong looked at the bird curiously, the bead curtain was lifted, and an old man walked in and scolded the bird: "Beast, shut up." As if he was very afraid of the old man, the bird muttered a few times and stopped talking, and looked at the old man cautiously.
"Let the adults laugh, the beasts are not sensible." The old man walked to the side and sat down slowly, looked at Zhou Zhenglong with a smile, and said, "Zhou Qianhu, sit down and talk!" ”
Zhou Zhenglong didn't dare to hold it up, so he thanked him before sitting down. For Xu Guangqi, Luo Sigong told him that he was a Jinshi who was born in Shu Jishi and was likely to become a cabinet minister. Naturally, it is impossible to be polite to a brocade guard Qianhu, I am afraid that even if he sees Luo Sigong, he will not have a straight eye.
At this time, Zhou Zhenglong was already flattered to be able to get a seat, and thanked Xu Guangqi again and again.
Seeing Zhou Zhenglong sitting down, Xu Guangqi said slowly: "I don't know what happened to Zhou Qianhu this time?" The old man is a man from the mountains and wilderness, but he is also law-abiding, I don't know where he needs to work in brocade clothes and pro-army? "But there are very few civil officials in the Ming Dynasty who like factory guards, except for those who are tied to factory guards, of course. Xu Guangqi, as a serious Jinshi, naturally has no good impression of Jinyiwei.
"Lord Xu said with a smile, I was ordered by Lord Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to see Mr. Xu, Lord Luo asked me to bring you something, you need to face Mr. Xu" Although Xu Guangqi's attitude towards himself was very bad, Zhou Zhenglong did not show it, and still smiled lightly. Zhou Zhenglong has long been accustomed to the attitude of these clerks.
While speaking, Zhou Zhenglong took out a wooden box in his sleeve, a long wooden box. Although it is made of wood, you can tell at first glance that it is not ordinary. The carvings on it are particularly exquisite, and although I don't know what kind of wood it is, it can also be seen that it is very precious.
Seeing that Zhou Zhenglong put the box on the table, Xu Guangqi did not reach out to take it, but said lightly: "Zhou Qianhu, the old man is a mountain and a wild villager, please take back such a valuable thing!" I don't have anything I can do to help you. Xu Guangqi's words were already a little angry, and it was very polite to say angry words.
Seeing Xu Guangqi's appearance, Zhou Zhenglong knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu misunderstood, this thing was brought by Lord Luo for someone else, not that our Jinyiwei has something to ask you." ”
Xu Guangqi's expression was constantly changing, and he finally glanced at the box on the table, and said seriously: "Zhou Qianhu, you said that this was brought by someone else, so who is this person?" What's in this box? ”
Seeing Xu Guangqi ask about Zhou Zhenglong, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, how did he know what was here, and he didn't know who brought it from. After so many years in officialdom, Zhou Zhenglong deeply understands that sometimes knowing more is not necessarily a good thing, and many times those who die first know more.
After a slight sigh, Zhou Zhenglong said: "Mr. Xu, this thing was personally handed over to you by Lord Luo, and I didn't dare to open it privately." In addition, about the owner of this thing, Lord Luo said, as long as you open it, you will know. ”
Seeing Zhou Zhenglong say this, Xu Guangqi nodded slowly, glanced at the old servant behind him, and said, "Take it!" ”
