Chapter 411: Xiangyang Dancing Queen

This county government of Xiangyang, Wang Xu is also the first time to come, from the appearance of quite solemn, the two stone unicorns at the door are like rushing forward, their eyes are angry, lifelike.

Perhaps the county lieutenant of Naten had already sent soldiers to inform him in advance, and when he walked in, there were already two groups of sergeants standing in the hall of the county government, and even the county magistrate was sitting behind the bookcase directly above and waiting, obviously taking this matter very seriously.

When he walked outside the lobby door, the county lieutenant of Nateng glanced at Wang Xu, and then quickened his pace and stepped in first. "Back to the Chen County Order, the suspect who insulted General Wang has been brought."

"Good! Bring him in. This Chen County Order is also capable, and without a word of nonsense, he directly announced that Wang Xu and the three of them entered the hall.

Wang Xu, Xu Shu, and Zhao Yu looked at each other and smiled, still walking in leisurely as if no one was around, while the people who followed closely behind them also rushed to the door and talked about it.

It seemed that it was too noisy at this time, and the county commander frowned, and suddenly shouted: "Quiet! Thou shalt wait to watch, and thou shalt not whisper! ”

His words were also quite deterrent through the solemnity of the court, and the voices of the people suddenly decreased, and finally slowly disappeared.

Seeing this, he nodded with satisfaction, but as soon as he turned his head, he found that Wang Xu and the three of them were still standing calmly in place. He was immediately furious and shouted, "Why don't you kneel ......down when you see this official?" ”

It's just that when he said kneeling, he was suddenly stunned and looked at him suspiciously. Because of this closer look, he suddenly felt as if this young man had seen it somewhere, and it seemed to be a very important occasion. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Xu Shu and Zhao Yu next to him.

After a moment, the faces of the three people flashed in his mind, and the costumes also changed into gorgeous clothes.

In an instant, this Chen County Commander trembled, and there was no blood on his face. When all the soldiers and the people outside the door were puzzled, he stood up abruptly, hurriedly walked to Wang Xu and knelt on the ground, almost touching his stomach to the ground. "Xiaguan Xiangyang County ordered Chen En to meet General Wang. Meet the two ladies! ”

said. His voice was already a little shaky. You must know that there are really few people in Jingzhou who can make Wang Xu kneel, let alone him.

"Huh! Do you recognize me? Originally, he wanted to take out the general's seal, but when he saw that the county official recognized him, Wang Xu no longer concealed his identity and smiled faintly.

Chen Xianling didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly answered: "Xiaguan had the honor to pay tribute to the general's dignity in the General's Mansion. It's just that I haven't seen it for a long time, and I can't recognize it quickly, and I hope the general will forgive me! ”

With his words, everyone present was stunned. Whether it was a soldier or a common man, or Wang Yuan, who was still arrogant and sneered on the side just now.

Silence, absolute silence. In just a few seconds, a pin drop can be heard.

As a few people took the lead in reacting, they knelt down with a "poof", and the rest of the people also knelt down one after another, shouting loudly: "Meet General Wang!" ”

That Wang Yuan and the minions that followed him trembled even more, and their heads were blank, not knowing what to do.

Wang Xu glanced at it with a smile, and took in everyone's expressions. Only then did he wave his hand lightly and said, "Forget it." Let's all get up first! Today's matter needs to be resolved quickly. ”

"No!" Chen County's order responded. tremblingly stood up from the ground, but his body was still bowed, and he didn't dare to look at Wang Xu's eyes. "General, please take a seat!"

"Hmm!" A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Wang Xu didn't push it, and walked to the top seat and sat down. The county and the master bookkeeper on the left and right sides also hurriedly retreated, giving up their positions to Xu Shu and Zhao Yu.

Almost everyone present stood up with Wang Xu's words, but County Lieutenant Teng, Wang Yuan, and several of his minions were still kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.

Smiling kindly at the people in the distance, Wang Xu didn't want to waste any more time, and looked back at Wang Yuan and said, "Wang Yuan, as a member of the Wang family, you don't want to make progress or say anything, but you bully others and fly high. Fortunately, you bumped into me today, if you bumped into ordinary people, wouldn't you be wronged, can you be guilty? ”

"Guilt, guilt!" Wang Yuan dared to hesitate, and quickly kowtowed to admit his guilt, crying in his voice.

"Hmm!" Wang Xu glanced at him deeply, stopped talking nonsense, and said loudly: "According to the laws of Jingzhou, the guilty will be punished." If you haven't done anything particularly bad, today's event will be punished with 30 boards. I hope that after you go back, you will reflect on it, and if you have such behavior again, don't blame the law for not being merciful! ”

"Brother, spare your life! Spare your life! Hearing that he was going to hit the thirty boards, Wang Yuan suddenly wailed heartbreakingly. Thirty boards is not a small number, his body is bones, and if he doesn't die, he will go to half a life.

But seeing his cowardice, Wang Xu was even more angry, and shouted: "Do you dare to disobey?" Fines you with 30 boards are already extrajudicial graces, and if you say more, you will add 20 boards. ”

Being so frightened, Wang Yuan didn't dare to say more, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, I confess, I confess." ”

"Okay, let's drag it out now! Followers are disposed of together. ”

"No!"

As several soldiers came out of the queue to drag Wang Yuan and several of his minions out of the hall, Wang Xu turned his head to look at the county lieutenant Teng who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "I said before that you, as a county lieutenant, should be cautious in investigating and dealing with the safety of one party. But today's matter, in order not to get involved in right and wrong, you actually arrested people without knowing what is wrong, which is a dereliction of duty. Fortunately, you didn't help the abuse, and it was a big mistake. Is there any objection to a fine of two months and 20 boards? ”

"The lower official will be guilty!" This Teng County Lieutenant was more straightforward, and he kowtowed directly.

It's just that the soldiers on both sides were a little hesitant, after all, Lieutenant Teng was their superior, but Wang Xu's order did not dare to disobey, and it was difficult to ride a tiger for a while.

Wang Xu also reacted quickly, thought about it, and didn't embarrass them, and said lightly: "You wait a while to go to the general's mansion to get the board by yourself." ”

"No!"

"Alright, let's get up first! In the future, I hope you will not do this again, otherwise you will be expelled, and you will never be an official, may you do it yourself. ”

Saying that, Wang Xu didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a long time, so he stood up and said: "Chen County Order, I heard that many relatives like Wang Yuan are swaggering through the market under the guise of bullying the good. But you don't pester, open one eye, close one eye, do you know that this is not to give me face, but to smear my face? ”

"Although I, Wang Xu, have no great virtue. But as the lord of Jingzhou. He also wholeheartedly works for the well-being of the people. Isn't that an act of injustice condemning me? This time, I will punish you for two months, a little punishment, I hope you can be diligent in the future, strict laws, if this incident occurs again, you know what to do! ”

Chen Xianling had already heard a cold sweat. Seeing Wang Xu's lenient punishment, he immediately said gratefully: "The lower official obeys the general's orders!" ”

"That's fine."

Wang Xu nodded, and then looked at the people outside the door again, and a smile appeared on his face. "Fellow villagers, in the future, if there is such a bad behavior, and the government will ignore it. You can come to the General's Mansion to inform you, and the General will definitely call the shots for everyone! ”

"Thank you, General!"

With Wang Xu's words, the people who witnessed this qiē were all excited, and they couldn't help but kneel on the ground and salute.

Wang Xu smiled gently, didn't say more, took Xu Shu and Zhao Yu, and left quickly.

At this time, the county secretary and the chief bookkeeper slowly came to Chen County's side. The middle-aged man dressed in the county official mansion smiled wryly and said, "Hey! Chen County Order. Why did you listen to me in the first place? General Wang is a rare benevolent person in the world. Something really happened! ”

"Hey!" Chen Xianling also couldn't stop sighing.

After such a toss, Wang Xu had no intention of walking around the streets again, borrowed a carriage from the county government, and quickly rushed back to the general's mansion. However, seeing that the people of Qiē today could not be calm for a long time, they excitedly spread the news quickly. One spread ten, ten spread hundred, in just a few days, the entire Xiangyang knew about it, which was far better than the impact Wang Xu expected. And the most important thing is that this small incident proves Wang Xu's attitude towards the strict implementation of the law, which makes all powerful families rein in and restrain their children from causing trouble.

It's just that the construction of the school has become Wang Xu's heart disease, and he is always thinking about how to solve it. It's a pity, after thinking about it, the current conditions still don't allow it to be carried out in the whole Jingzhou, but I am not willing to give up like this, and I have no choice but to find Guo Jia, who is in a poor family. After some discussion, I finally found a compromise method, which was to build two schools in Xiangyang on a trial basis, select poor teenagers with good qualifications for training, and then slowly increase as the situation became more and more stable.

Although Wang Xu is not satisfied with this method, he can only do this for now, and then think of a way when the time comes.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, there were only two days before the end of the year. Every household is fully prepared for the New Year, but because it is too cold this year, the streets are relatively deserted, not as in previous years, there are many small traders and hawkers, and the shouting is constant.

Wang Xu thought that the New Year was approaching, and he should also invite the military generals to gather together, otherwise his lord would be too stingy, so he prepared to set up a night banquet in the mansion the next day, that is, on the twenty-ninth night of the lunar month. Unexpectedly, this mention was immediately approved by Xu Shu, Cai Yan and several other women, and they all said that the General's Mansion should be lively and lively during the New Year.

It's just that after informing the military generals in Xiangyang and ordering people to prepare, Wang Xu thought about it, but he always felt that something was missing.

"Wife! Do you feel that there is something missing from this night party, it always feels like it is not good enough? ”

"Quite a few? There are so many things that you can't eat or drink! Xu Shu may not have heard clearly, when even asked strangely.

"I'm not talking about this, I'm just talking about the process, and I always feel that it's not lively enough."

It was Diao Chan who reacted first, "poof", covered his mouth and smiled: "What the husband said is to help sing and dance!" ”

"Ahh Yes, yes, this is it! It's not good to drink and eat meat so stupidly during the Chinese New Year, and it's not bad to have some singing, dancing and music! ”

"But our General's Mansion has never bought a dancing girl?" Cai Yan suddenly frowned. "Where can I find it in a while?"

Xu Shu thought for a while and continued: "I think it's better to let the spy send a few people over!" ”

"Huh! Forget it, the spy movie is busy all year round, and it's not easy, and it's not a way to make the family work hard for the New Year. Wang Xu immediately shook his head.

"Then it's better to let the cicadas come, the cicadas are good at dancing!" Diao Chan hesitated.

Wang Xu's eyes suddenly widened: "How can you do that?" It's okay to present a song, but if you are asked to dance the whole process, what kind of system will it become, I guess the generals will not dare to look at it. Besides, how can I let you be tired and we sit and enjoy? ”

Diao Chan was coaxed by Wang Xu like this, and her little face suddenly turned red, and she stopped making a sound.

Seeing that there was nothing to think about, when Wang Xu was about to give up, Zhao Yu, who had not spoken, suddenly said mysteriously: "Brother Xu." I know where there are dancing girls! ”

"Huh? You know? ”

"yes!" Zhao Yu blinked cutely.

Wang Xu asked casually, "Where is it?" ”

"It seems to be somewhere in the outer city, where did it come from. Not only can you play beautiful music, but you can also dance beautifully, and you can perform songs and dances for everyone, but the price seems to be quite high! ”

"Hehe, the price is not a problem." Wang Xu was immediately happy, but then asked strangely: "By the way, how do you know?" ”

"I heard that! Last time I went home to play. Listen to what the second sister-in-law said! Zhao Yu said.

"Big sister?"

"Yes, the second sister-in-law said, the woman in the lead is quite beautiful! And only agreed to the invitation of celebrities and military generals with a good reputation in Jingzhou. ”

"That's it!" Hearing this, Wang Xu really became interested, in this era, this kind of idle dancing girl is relatively rare. Most of them are kept privately or in the green house. "Alright then, I'll invite them, I think my reputation should be okay!"

Zhao Yu suddenly said excitedly: "Then I'll go to the second sister-in-law now to see if she knows where they live?" ”

"Forget it, let's just go over together and go see the eldest sister casually." Xu Shu took over and said.

Wang Xu thought that some days had passed, so he also nodded and said, "Okay!" Let's go together. ”

The group rushed to Zhao's mansion and soon learned from Wang Yue that the group of dancing girls lived on Xiwen Road in the outer city. And this dancing girl is quite good. It has only been two months since he appeared in Xiangyang. It's already famous. Moreover, the dancing girl at the head can not only sing and dance. He still knows current affairs, is good at words, and is very popular with literati, and many people can't invite them if they want to.

This also made Wang Xu even more curious, even if he ordered someone to invite, as for being refused, he didn't even think about it, because it was impossible. As long as she refuses, even if Wang Xu doesn't do anything, I'm afraid no one will dare to invite them in the future.

As expected, but in just half an hour, the maid sent to contact hurried back, saying that the other party had agreed, and just hoped that the general's mansion would bring its own musical instruments.

Wang Xu naturally didn't care about this kind of trivial matter. On the contrary, he was extremely curious about this team of dancing girls, and he had some faint expectations in his heart, not knowing what the other party was capable of.

The day passed quickly, and on the evening of the 29th of the lunar month, the invited civil ministers and military generals all rushed to the back of the general's mansion early, and waited for the start of the banquet in the spacious banquet hall, with a trace of joy on everyone's faces. Not only because of Wang Xu's banquet, but also because there are a lot of good things this year, everyone can also have a peaceful New Year.

It's just that because I want to enjoy singing and dancing tonight, I didn't use a round table, it was all a traditional table. Wenwu sat in two columns on the left and right, and Wang Xu sat directly above with his wife and concubine, and each of them had a table for themselves.

Beckoning everyone to talk and laugh, seeing that it was dark and the house was already full of lights, Wang Xu also happily announced the opening of the banquet.

After a while, the maids of the General's Mansion slowly walked in with sumptuous delicacies, and placed them on the tables of the military generals next to each other. In the midst of talking and laughing, a few glasses of wine were served, and the atmosphere was also warm, and everyone was in touch with each other and toasted each other.

After a round, Wang Xu smiled slightly and asked Xiao Yu, who was serving beside him, to inform the dancing girl to come in.

This team of dancing girls is really extraordinary, originally Wang Xu was still curious about what the beautiful woman in Wang Yue's mouth looked like, but he didn't expect that people didn't see it, but he heard the beautiful singing voice first, as well as the faint sound of the piano. It was a very beautiful voice, I can't say that feeling, although the other party didn't seem to be singing, just humming music, but that kind of clear and long feeling came from the surface, like the edge of the sky, and as if it was close at hand, quickly bringing people to an ethereal realm, evoking all kinds of memories.

With this melodious singing, the banquet gradually quieted down, and even the usually rough generals listened carefully. His eyes slowly revealed a trace of tenderness, as if he was savoring the best memories......

With the beautiful singing and piano sound, a group of elegantly dressed, but delicate and lovely young women also walked in slowly, with a smile on their faces, looking forward to life, soft and pure.

But this was only a prelude, and none of them were singing, and when they entered, they stood in a circle with wonderful dance steps, waving their long sleeves, like a freshly blooming flower. The two young girls who came in immediately separated in an instant, slowly revealing a woman with a beautiful face.

This woman is wearing a white skirt, and while her figure is extremely hot, she gives people a feeling of beauty and refinement. The beautiful green silk is like a waterfall pouring down, the beautiful eyes rippling with water waves, and the white and tender skin are all showing the tenderness like water. Her every move attracted everyone's attention, even Wang Xu was no exception.

When she stepped into the middle of the "flowers" with a wonderful dance and a beautiful song, the beautiful flower seemed to bloom for the second time, which was even more moving. It's just that, as if it was a flash in the pan, this beautiful scene was extremely short-lived, the singing gradually dissipated, and the dancing girl gradually dispersed, leaving only the feeling just now that lingered in everyone's hearts, slightly distracted.

Wang Xu closed his eyes, as if recalling the inexplicable emotion in his heart just now. After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of excitement and went straight to the dancing girl who was the leader. "Hahaha! Sure enough, the name is well deserved, the people are beautiful, the stage is beautiful, and the voice is even more beautiful! Not bad, not bad! ”

Hearing the praise, the group of women all saluted and smiled. Only the woman at the head replied softly: "The general is too praised!" (To be continued.) )
