Chapter 188, it's not time for you to know the identity of Mr
Although the inner courtyard of Wanjiazhuang is not as luxurious as the inner courtyard of Wanfu, the style and taste that it should have are not inferior at all.
Well-style walkway, double entry chamber, bluestone paving, white brick for the wall.
Although in order to increase the area of the outer courtyard, the area of the inner courtyard of Wanjiazhuang has been reduced a lot, and the individual courtyards have also become a long series of wings connected together, but after the overall pattern has become more compact, a kind of majesty and solemn momentum will naturally appear.
After entering the West Chamber, there was no need for Marriott to look for it, there were already maids standing outside a wing room with an open door waiting for them.
When he came to the door, Marriott didn't wait to look up, he bowed down and said, "Boy, meet Daddy." β
"Come in!"
As the voice of Wan Dahu came from inside the house, Marriott began to walk in. Marriott's sudden deference does not mean that the rules of Wanfu have suddenly changed, but that the rules of Wanfu are different from place to place. Even if Wanda households often go in and out of the flower hall, because it is more similar to official premises, with the father-son relationship between Marriott and Wandahu, there is naturally no need to distinguish too much.
But after all, the West Chamber is the residence of the fifth and sixth aunts, not only are men and women different, but also the elders live, so naturally Marriott cannot be presumptuous.
If it weren't for Wan Dahu inside, Marriott would not be qualified to enter the aunt's room at all, at most he would call his aunt out to talk.
Therefore, although the inner courtyard of Wanjiazhuang is not strictly forbidden for men to enter like the inner courtyard of Yifu, if a man wants to step into his aunt's room, it is also impossible.
After entering the house, Marriott saw Wan Dahu sitting around a round table with the fifth and sixth aunts. However, it is not Wan Dahu who sits in the main seat, but the fifth aunt, which can also be seen how big the fifth aunt is in Wanjiazhuang now.
Because he had already seen Wan Dahu outside the house, Marriott nodded to the fifth and sixth aunts and said, "The child has seen the fifth and sixth aunts." β
"Hao'er doesn't need to be polite, do you have anything urgent to find the master?"
Hearing the fifth aunt's question, Marriott also knew that Wan Dahu was probably unwilling to listen to what he had to say now. Otherwise, Wan Dahu really wanted to know what Marriott was looking for him, and he would definitely open his mouth to ask.
According to common sense, when encountering this situation, Marriott should pretend to just want to come to meet the fifth aunt and withdraw first. But thinking about the severity and urgency of the matter, Marriott still bowed to the Wan Dahu who was sitting in danger and said: "Daddy, the child has important things that need to be discussed with Daddy, Daddy, see if you can talk about it in a different place." β
"Something important? Did you tell your husband? Wan Dahu did not immediately express his dissatisfaction, but said with doubts in his eyes.
His expression was sluggish, but Marriott didn't expect that the old man Qinghao would be so heavy in the hearts of Wan Dahu, so he had to say with a slight smile: "This ......, although the child has seen Mr. in the flower hall, he hasn't told Mr. about it yet." β
"What's going on?"
Wan Dahu suddenly became expressionless and said, "Didn't my father tell you a long time ago that I should respect Mr.?" You should first go and tell the gentleman what you think is important, and then listen to the gentleman's reply and act! β
"This ......"
With a wry smile on his face helplessly, Marriott said: "Daddy's reprimand is that this thing is indeed inappropriate for children. But can Daddy tell the child more about who the gentleman really is? The child doesn't even know the name of the gentleman now, and the father tells the child how to trust the gentleman. β
"It's not time for you to know who Mr. is, get out!"
Although Marriott's attitude was very sincere, Wan Dahu showed no mercy at all, and the eyes of the fifth and sixth aunts showed a trace of surprise when they saw this.
Knowing that Wan Dahu's order could not be changed, Marriott's speculation was even more difficult to say rashly in front of the fifth and sixth aunts, and Marriott had to open his mouth helplessly. Just as he was about to say something, a maid suddenly came from outside the house: "Master, Mr. and Bao Sanniang are asking to see the master and the young master outside the house." ββ¦,
"Sir, you're coming here to find the young master?" Hearing the maid's announcement, Wan Dahu's face showed a touch of surprise.
Marriott was overjoyed when he heard Bao Sanniang's name: "Daddy, Sanniang also knows what the child wants to say to his father, I'm afraid that Sanniang has told Mr. about the important matter, and Mr. chased him over and wanted to discuss it with his father." β
"I see."
Knowing that Bao Sanniang knew the status of the old man in Wanfu, and the old man Qingmao brought Bao Sanniang here, it must have confirmed that what Marriott said was true, and Wan Dahu nodded as he spoke.
Without waiting for Wan Dahu to look at him, the fifth aunt also stood up with the sixth aunt and said, "Master, the concubine has retreated first." β
"Well, I'll see you later."
After Wan Dahu agreed, the fifth and sixth aunts quickly withdrew from the wing, and then Wan Dahu ordered the old man to come in with Bao Sanniang.
Entering the wing, the old man Qinghao saw Marriott standing next to him and smiled: "Young master, you have taken a step first." β
"Sir is gracious." Unexpectedly, the old man Qinghao could come in without having to say goodbye outside the door again, and for the first time, Marriott felt that the big households attached more importance to the old man than he did.
Ignoring what Marriott was thinking, Wan Dahu stood up from the table and said, "Sir, what the hell is going on." β
"Don't worry, sir."
The old man Qinghao didn't seem to be surprised at all, Wan Dahu still didn't know the inside story, and said with a kind of light and breezy spirit on his face: "It's not that something happened, but that Gongzi discovered an important situation before. Master, you better listen to Childe's explanation first, and then let's see it together! β
"Hao'er, you say."
"Yes! Daddy. β
Finally knowing the weight of the old man in the minds of Wan Dahu, Marriott first owed the old man who had already sat down by himself, and then slowly said his judgment. Because Marriott has passed GuΓ² several times to prove his judgment when he went out this time, listening to Marriott's words, Wan Dahu's face gradually darkened.
When Wanhao's voice fell, Wan Dahu looked at the old man Qinghao with a puzzled expression and said, "Sir, Hao'er's judgment is certainly very reasonable, but why did Mu Yan attack Wanjiazhuang. β
"Who does the lord think Mu Yan's main enemy is?"
"Needless to say, it must be Yuzhou's commander Yu Rong."
Not only Wanda understands this, but also Marriott and Bao Sanniang. So when they heard the old man asking, the three of them were also a little puzzled why he asked such a naΓ―ve question.
Facing the questioning gazes of the three of them, the old man Qinghao smiled indifferently and said, "Does the old man think that Mu Yan is likely to be better than Yu Rong?" βγ
"This ......, is it just to deal with Yu Rong, is Mu Yan going to attack Wanjiazhuang?" His eyes were stunned for a while, and although Wan Dahu thought of something, he was still a little incredulous.
The old man said: "If Mu Yan wants to turn passive into active, he must attack Wanjiazhuang. Because only by attacking Wanjiazhuang can Mu Yan's strength increase instead of decreasing, at least Yu Rong will definitely think so. And in order to confuse Yu Rong and induce Yu Rong to take the initiative and attack as soon as possible, Mu Yan had no reason to let go of this opportunity. β
Although the old man Qinghao didn't say much, Marriott was ashamed in his heart. Because he may have thought that Mu Yan might attack Wanjiazhuang, but he didn't expect the real reason why Mu Yan attacked Wanjiazhuang.
Now with the explanation of the old man Qinghao, there is no need to explain in detail, Marriott also understands the current situation of Wanjiazhuang......
