Chapter 168: Temptation

In fact, these two people, one is Lu Dayou, and the other is Wang Feng, but the Suzhou gentry are not clear, and they are secretly speculating.

Song Wenze couldn't help but say: "Old Shen, who do you think will be Wang Feng?" I think the older ones are more like, this person's face is calm, implied, I think he swept southern Jiangsu at a young age, and is about to settle in a major city like Suzhou, and it is the right time to be young and proud. ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Wen Ze's eyes are like torches, and his words are reasonable!" A considerable part of the gentry chimed in.

Shen Mingshao's eyes flickered for a while, and he pondered: "I am the opposite of you, I thought that the younger one was Wang Feng." ”

"Oh? I want to hear about it! A gentleman asked.

Shen Mingshao said slowly: "Since ancient times, young people have been heroes, not based on age, I think you all agree, now let's look at it, the slightly older face is colorful, obviously the city government is poor, and Wang Feng's actions should be listened to, the severity of the control, the old and spicy means, how can the city government have no mind to do it?"

You see the younger one, with a scattered gaze and an indifferent look on the surface, but who can guess what is going on in his heart? ”

"Oh~~ It turns out that he is Wang Feng." In the crowd, there was a sudden sound of enlightenment, and if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the truth.

Shen Mingshao nodded, and said: "Shen also found a detail, just now the young man laughed with the two women beside him for a moment, may I ask you, if it is changed to Lord Zhong, can you dare to laugh with a woman in front of Lord Xu?" Or was there only three women, and he was so bold as to laugh with two women? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone simply admired the five-body throws themselves to the ground, and the subordinates laugh with women in front of their superiors, this is looking for a draw, especially the three monopolizing two, and they are even more disrespectful!

Han Yingjie praised: "High! Lao Shen is really high, when it comes to the meticulousness of his thoughts, the meticulousness of his observation, he is the first among us, I think that Wang Feng's mind is unknown, and the consequences of entering the city are unpredictable. ”

"Not bad, not bad! Brother Ming Shao, don't shirk! The gentry chimed in again.

"You are serious, Shen is shallow, how can he bear this weight? Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, let's all deal with him together. Shen Mingshao was secretly proud, but his mouth was repeatedly prevaricated.

Being elected as the leader of the Suzhou business community, of course, he has to bear the risk of provoking Wang Feng to be killed, but if he can form a complementary and cooperative relationship with Wang Feng, the benefits are also incalculable, according to the scrutiny and analysis of Wang Feng's words and deeds, Shen Mingshao believes that this risk is worth taking.

In the face of irresistible and incomprehensible external forces, Suzhou businessmen understand the urgency of gathering together and dividing together, and at this time, they urgently need a capable person to act as a leader, unite their loose businessmen, speak with one voice, and hold together to protect their own interests.

Therefore, the two aspects hit it off, and in the persuasion of everyone, Shen Mingshao saw that he couldn't excuse himself, so he reluctantly said: "Since you are in love, Shen will go out to fight for the people of Suzhou, come, they are coming, let's go to meet them quickly." ”

Wang Feng, Hong Xuanjiao and others had already dismounted and walked slowly, led by Shen Mingshao and the other three masters, and a group of Suzhou gentry hurriedly stepped forward.

About ten meters apart, Shen Mingshao led everyone to hug their fists: "Shen Mingshao of Suzhou Jufu Silk Village, and my Suzhou gentry representatives greet the heavenly army!" ”

Wang Feng returned the salute: "Boss Shen is serious, the heavenly army is in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, who cares about the suffering in the world?" Where are we the army of heaven, we come from the people, we are the people's army, come, you don't have to be polite, please get up quickly. ”

The Taiping Army has always regarded itself as the Heavenly Army, and it is also called the Heavenly Army in the internal documents, only Wang Feng, as a modern person, has the spirit of seeking truth from facts, and is neither embarrassed nor arrogant enough to call himself the Heaven, he is a Taiping Army, so he made a statement.

"Your army is too modest." The Suzhou gentry obviously did not adapt to Wang Ji's style of conversation, and they all smiled and stood up humbly.

Wang Feng smiled again and said: "Boss Shen, let's introduce ourselves first, my surname is Wang, my name is Wang Feng, I must have heard of you, I am the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Democratic Alliance Army, and this is Hong Xuanjiao, the commander of the First Army of our army."

Wang Feng introduced the people around him in turn, and Shen Mingshao and the others suddenly sniffed out the unusual meaning, the Chinese Democratic Alliance, doesn't this mean that it is a clear line with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? Although they deduced from Wang Feng's words and deeds that Wang Feng had the intention of establishing his own door, they still secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they listened to it with their own ears, after all, the lethality of private property into the holy treasury and the separate camp for men and women was too great, and the reputation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was stinked by these two systems.

After exchanging knowing glances with his companions, Shen Mingshao also introduced some important people, and said: "Commander Wang is a hero out of a young man, when I see it today, it is really better to meet than to be famous, I have been waiting for a long time, and now I have cleaned and rested the Master of Nets Garden that was once occupied by the Manchurians, as Commander Wang's residence in Suzhou, this is our intention, please do not push it back." ”

Suzhou garden, on behalf of Suzhou culture, is the pride of Suzhou people, each famous garden is different, there is a story behind it, as a native of Suzhou, naturally such as a number of treasures, but Wang Feng is a foreigner, and a hairy young man, what can he understand?

The arrangement of the slightly less famous Master of Nets Garden actually reflects the cultural superiority of Shen Mingshao and others over Wang Feng, and vaguely expresses that although you are in Suzhou by force, you are still far behind in culture, and it also warns Wang Feng in disguise that it is not possible to enter Suzhou by fists alone.

Everyone exchanged glances, waiting for Wang Feng's response, in their eyes, either they didn't know it, and they thanked them in a daze, or they were vassals and elegant, and expressed their feelings about the fake emptiness of Suzhou Gardens, and even saw through their own intentions, using strict laws as an excuse to hide their ignorance!

"Oh? It turned out to be the Master of Nets Garden? Under the gaze of many eyes, Wang Feng said: "I heard that the Master of Nets Garden has a long history, it was originally built in the Chunxi period of the Southern Song Dynasty, and was the former site of the Song Dynasty bibliophile and Yangzhou literati Shi Zhengzhi Wanjuantang, named Yuyin, and then unfortunately abandoned.

During the Qianlong period, it was rebuilt by the Shaoqing Song Zongyuan of Guanglu Temple, named the net master, the net master, the fisherman also, meaning the same as the fishing hermitage, containing the meaning of seclusion in the rivers and lakes, and also with the name of the alley Wang four homonyms, a scene in the garden is the same as all implying the will of seclusion, to the end of Qianlong returned to Quyuan Village, so it is also called Qu Yuan.

Although the Master of Nets Garden is small, but the small is big, the layout is rigorous, the main and secondary are clear and rich in changes, there is a garden in the garden, there is a view outside the scene, exquisite and deep, although there are many but not congested, although the mountain pool is small but not cramped, the layout is exquisite, the structure is compact, fresh and charming, it is a model of winning more with less, Qian Daxin commented: the land is only a few acres, and there is an endless line of back, although it is close to the palace, and there is the joy of forgetting the clouds and water, Liu Zihou is the so-called Ao Ru Kuang, and it is both good and bad.
