Chapter 102: Visit
In the Listening Rain Pavilion in the backyard of the Wind and Rain Building, the boy who stopped the water was sipping fragrant tea, and his face was also enjoying it. Standing behind him was the shopkeeper of Fengyue Tower, with a respectful face, and he didn't dare to slack off.
"Shopkeeper, this son arrived here yesterday, although he has a day off, he is still a little tired, but today he should do business." Gently put down the tea bowl in his hand, and said with a smile, but although there were a lot of smiles on his face, the gaze in his eyes was as plain as water, and he couldn't see the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"I wonder what Childe commands?" The shopkeeper glanced at the water-stopping boy and replied respectfully. There is only one feeling for this water-stopping boy, that is, unfathomable, although it seems to be easy-going, and the shopkeeper knows, this is like a poisonous snake that can choose someone to devour at any time.
Smiling and nodding, the water stop boy enjoyed this feeling very much, and said to the shopkeeper: "This son has just come to the capital, and he still doesn't understand many things, so he needs to understand the situation here, I don't know who knows more about this?" ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the water-stopping boy again, and sighed slightly in his heart, worthy of the person he valued, there is no falsehood at all, this ability is real. After thinking about it, the shopkeeper said: "If you want to understand things and the form of the officialdom of the Beijing Division, then there is only Wang Linguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry." This person is originally a native of the capital, but he is also our own person, who has been an official in Beijing for 30 years, and knows everything about everything. The most important thing is that this person is very smart and has never been involved in any cases. ”
Nodding slowly, the water stop boy had some realization in his heart, and the shopkeeper of Fengyue Building was not so simple. At this time, it seems that he is responsible for many things in the capital, after all, he has been here since the beginning, and it is still very useful.
"Does the shopkeeper know what he can do to let me see him?" Thinking of this, the boy who stopped the water was a lot more polite to the shopkeeper, and he also had the intention of asking for his opinion.
"Childe, although this Fengyue Building was built by the master, but since the master left Beijing, the life has not been easy in the past six years. Although there is no shortage of money or anything, the role of this place is not as good as before, in addition to the people in this store, there are also many people outside who pay attention to this place. Childe came here, it is likely that he has attracted a lot of attention, if Childe wants to see Wang Linguang, I hope Childe will go to his mansion. Although the shopkeeper's attitude seemed to be very respectful, he was neither humble nor arrogant when he spoke, and he said his thoughts.
Nodding slowly, the water boy slowly fell into contemplation, he couldn't help but regret a little, he thought that no one would pay attention here, but at this time he knew that this was just a whim. There must be a lot of people who care about this place, including Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and those Qizhechu party members must also know. However, he also comforted himself in his heart, he was not a big person, and even if someone paid attention, he probably wouldn't pay much attention to it.
However, the boy felt that what the shopkeeper said made sense, nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Well, what you said makes sense, I should go to visit." ”
"That villain went to prepare for Childe, Childe's identity here is my nephew, going to the capital to take the exam, I don't know what Childe thinks?" The shopkeeper naturally won't let the water-stopping boy not have an external identity, which will definitely make people suspicious, and it will be more convenient to walk when he is angry, I hope this can hide people's eyes.
The mansion of Lin Guang, the king of the Ministry of Works, is in the crescent alley of Xicheng, which is leaning on the innermost one, the vermilion lacquer gate, a pair of majestic stone lions at the door, and the door is a huge plaque, on which are written three gilded characters of the Shangshu Mansion, and two big red lanterns are hung on both sides of the door.
Standing at the door of the palace, the prince couldn't help but think of what the shopkeeper of Fengyue Tower said, this Wang family is a not small family in the capital. It has been there since Taizu, and there have been jinshi and people before, most of them are prefects, but there are also governors. At this time, Wang Linguang, the head of the family, was ranked as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the status of the Wang family in Beijing was not low.
Give the worship post in your hand to the next person who guards the door.,The boy who stopped the water was waiting at the door.,Although he is a disciple of that one.,But when you see this, you still have to call Uncle Shi.,I didn't say anything about the past when I came to visit.。
Wang Linguang is over 60 years old this year, although he is not young, his health is still good, his ears are not deaf and his eyes are not dazzled. At this time, the old man was writing in the study, and the day before yesterday, the supervisor gave him a pair of Wen Zhengming's words, and Wang Linguang, who liked calligraphy to the extreme, naturally wanted to write enough.
"Master, someone outside is asking to see you, this is a prayer!" Just when Wang Linguang's writing was rising, the old housekeeper Wang An walked in quickly, and when he saw Wang Linguang put away his pen, he handed over the post.
Frowning slightly, Wang Linguang said impatiently: "What person?" ”
"Back to the master, he is a man in white, and the worship post said that it was the nephew of the shopkeeper Li of Fengyue Building, and he came to Beijing to visit you for the exam." The housekeeper also seemed to know that he had disturbed the master's writing, and he was also cautious when he spoke, for fear that the master would be angry with him.
Sighing deeply, Wang Linguang smiled bitterly and put down the brush in his hand, gently took the greeting post in the butler's hand, and said helplessly: "Alas, I should come back sooner or later, and I can't hide if I want to." ”
"The master doesn't want to see him, just let me go out and tell him!" The old housekeeper is a little unclear, so, when he reaches the status of the master, who else needs to give face besides the emperor and the prince? What's more, it's the nephew of the shopkeeper of Fengyue Building, so he just blasts it away if he doesn't want to see it.
Looking at the housekeeper who had been with him since he was a child, Wang Linguang sighed again and said in a deep voice: "Go!" Bring people in, if everything is as simple as you think, the master has died no longer knowing how many times. ”
There was not much time, and the boy who stopped the water walked in slowly under the leadership of the old housekeeper.
Glancing at the water-stopping boy who walked in, Wang Linguang felt that this person was not simple, he looked gentle and elegant, and seemed to be a humble gentleman. The faint smile on his face is easy to make people feel good, but there is a different kind of rebelliousness and ruthlessness in his eyes. Maybe only people like Wang Linguang can find out! Because when he was younger, he was pretty much like that. Sighing softly, Wang Linguang couldn't help but feel like a hero in the twilight. It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and I may be really old, and it's time to think about going home to recuperate.
Seeing Wang Linguang sitting in the lobby, the water stop boy frowned, and the last thing he wanted to deal with was someone like Wang Linguang. The smile on his face is amiable, but at first glance he looks like an old fox, and such a person is very difficult to fool!
