Early the next morning, after Wang Daguan had finished breakfast, Wu Liang came to report that the gifts were ready and he could visit the "cash cow" Yao Yuanwai.

When Wang Dalun went out, a carriage stopped at the door, and when Wang Dalun got into the carriage, the coachman flicked the whip, and the carriage gurgled and moved.

On the road, the road began to be uneven, the carriage began to bump, Wang Dalun felt that his buttocks were about to be torn, your sister, the car without rubber tires is too bumpy, and there is no shock absorption, so it is even more offensive.

When Wang Dalun felt that he was about to be turned apart, Xingxian County arrived. Xingxian as a county town close to the border pass, the city wall is still quite high, about three stories high, because it is close to the border pass, the commercial atmosphere here is relatively strong, you can see the merchants who sell and collect leather goods everywhere, it seems to be very prosperous.

Walking along the avenue all the way, about two quarters of an hour, I saw a mansion appear in front of everyone, at a glance, the whole building is very large, more than ten times larger than Wang Dalun's palace, there are two doormen standing at the door, two gatehouses are dressed in black shirts, they look extraordinary, and they highlight the strength of the master.

I saw that Wu Liang didn't need Wang Dalun to greet him, so he stepped forward and saluted: "The two are polite, I am the housekeeper of the Wangjiazhuang Mansion at the mouth of the Jiehekou, and now my young master Wang Hu is going to your mansion to meet Shibo Yao, and I bother the two brothers to help pass it on!" ”

After speaking, he respectfully handed over the prayer post, and when he received the prayer post in the gatehouse, he also secretly handed over two pieces of silver.

The two porters received the red envelope, and they were in a good mood, and hurriedly bent down and said: "It turned out that it was Young Master Wang Hu's distinguished guest who came to the door, please wait for a while, and wait for me to go in and report!" "After saying that, one of them went in and reported.

After a few cents, a fat man in his forties came out, and I saw him come out and hurriedly saluted: "It turned out that the young master of the Wang family was coming, and he was disappointed, please go inside, the distinguished guests came to the door, and the hospitality was not good, please understand!" As he spoke, he invited Wang Dalun and the two into the living room for tea. As for the coachman, there is no mention of the special person who has a subordinate to entertain him.

After sitting down, the fat man introduced himself: "The contemptible Yao is rich and noble, and he is the housekeeper of Yao Mansion." Young Master Wang, you are really unlucky, my master is dealing with things, and I don't have time to greet the two of you for the time being, Young Master Wang, do you want to wait here? Or come back another day? ”

Wang Dalun said: "Let's wait, Steward Yao, please help us report again when Master Yao is free." ”

Seeing that Wang Dalun insisted, Yao Fugui couldn't say anything, so he asked his subordinates to serve tea, and chatted with him at first, but after a while, he found an excuse, and the figure was gone.

Wang Dalun couldn't do it anymore, so he had to sit there and wait, constantly comforting himself in his heart, where can it be so easy to ask someone to do things, for next year's harvest, for his own survival, no matter how long he waits, he must persevere, sitting and waiting for someone is not a big deal, he must persevere.

After the next person added tea twice, Wang Dalun couldn't sit still and wanted to get up and walk, but suddenly remembered the story of Zuo Zongtang seeing Li Hongzhang. I wonder if Yao Yuanwai also wants to dry himself and hide in the dark to observe himself, right? Well, you have to insist, if you behave in a panic, you will make people look down on yourself, and when the time comes, you may not even give yourself a good face.

Wang Dalun remembered the first boss's teaching when he just graduated: "When you don't have any strength, you have to be able to pretend, you must pretend that you are very powerful!" You can't pretend, who dares to use you? ”

Thinking of this, Wang Dalun's expression calmed down, pretending to be very leisurely, not only slowly sipping tea, but also turning to Wu Liang, who was sitting down, and said, "Steward Wu, how are you in the product, how is the hospitality of the Shibo family?" I usually tell you to buy some good tea, but you fool me and say that the tea you buy is good, you see, now you think it's different, right? ”

Wu Liang was very puzzled when he heard this, what is this, when did your Wang family explain that I bought tea? Usually there are no distinguished guests, just those tenants who don't have a few copper plates on their bodies come to the door, and it's good not to be driven out of the city by the big-footed girl, when will it be the turn to let sit and serve tea, daydreaming.

Although I think so, when I am my own young master, I still have to be round, I can't be ignorant, right? So he said, "Well, next time I will pay attention, good tea is really good tea, I'll taste it." ”

So the two of them sitting, drinking tea bitterly, drinking cup after cup, and the servant next to him was busy adding tea, while slandering in his heart: "These two turtles, countrymen who have never seen the world, this is also a good tea for general hospitality, do you drink so hard, if it is the dragon well before the rain that the lord treasures, then you must not drink a water tank?" ”

Just when Wang Dalun and the two were pouring tea hard, Yao Yuanwai was lying comfortably on the recliner, a beautiful maid was helping him press his shoulder, another was helping him beat his legs, and a maid next to him was using Qianqian's fine hands to cut the pear to Yao Yuanwai's mouth, and a graceful green silk woman next to the coffee table was making tea. And Yao Fugui, who had not seen anyone just now, was waiting respectfully on the side.

Yao Yuanwai ate a piece of pear, drank the tea offered by the green silk woman, groaned comfortably, and said to Yao Fugui: "Haven't you left yet?" ”

"No, I'm still sitting and drinking tea, I don't look like a person who is leaving, and I heard someone report that people are quite leisurely, and it doesn't look like there's nothing to be done." Yao Fugui said.

"Oh, it seems that my virtuous nephew is quite calm this time, it's not the same as the original impulsive and reckless character, is it because he has suffered a loss and become smarter?" Yao Yuanwai said suspiciously.

"Hehe, master, people say, 'eat a trench and eat a wisdom', besides, it doesn't matter if he is a dragon or a worm, don't you have to wait obediently in front of the master?" Yao Fugui patted his ass.

"Well, that's right, but I originally thought that Wang Hu was a prodigal who couldn't do anything, and I could get more benefits when the time came, but now that people have become calm, it won't be easy to do." Yao Yuanwai said distressedly.

Yao Fugui stood quietly and respectfully, without interjecting, the good dog leg understands the habits of the master.

Yao Yuanwai pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, you invite him in, and I'll take a look first." ”

When Wang Dalun was invited in, he couldn't help but be amazed by the scene in front of him, thinking to himself, this old thing that is as fat as a pig is still quite enjoyable.

When Wang Dalun sat down, the green silk woman brought tea, and when Wang Dalun saw the tea, he immediately felt that his stomach seemed to be rattling.

I only heard Yao Yuanwai say: "Virtuous nephew, I don't know what kind of wind blew you here today, how could you think of coming to visit me?" ”

Wang Dalun hurriedly replied: "When my father was here, Yao Yuanwai and my father were friends who were irreversible, and my father often told me that Shibo was a great hero and a powerful person, and asked me to ask Shibo for advice. Helpless to the death of my father, I was the first housekeeper, things are complicated, plus for my father's filial piety, I don't often come to see Shibo, yesterday I dreamed that my father was blamed, so today I came to visit Shibo. ”

Yao Yuanwai listened to Wang Dalun's nonsense, and smiled disdainfully, but said in his mouth: "Hey, God does not fulfill people's wishes, thinking back then, your father's voice and smile are still in front of my eyes, you are my virtuous nephew, and you are a beginner, if you don't understand anything, just come to me for advice, I will definitely help you if you can help." "The old fox is the old fox, and he got down to business in a few words, just waiting for Wang Dalun to take the initiative to ask for help.

As soon as Wang Dalun heard this, he immediately went up the stairs and said pretending to be distressed: "I didn't want to trouble Shibo, but I really encountered something recently." I thought about it for a long time, and among my father's friends, you can help. ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Just say that I will help if I can! Yao Yuan pretended not to understand.

Wang Dalun didn't know that Yao Yuan already knew the way, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally said: "Hey, I'm causing trouble for Shibo." Recently, the weather has been dry, and Zhao Yuanwai of Zhaojiazhuang has intercepted the river water, and now it is spring, and the ground is still waiting for water to sow seeds, so I want to ask Shibo to come forward and coordinate. ”

"Oh, you don't know anything about the virtuous nephew, I don't know Zhao Yuanwai very well!" Yao Yuanwai preached regretfully, and said in his heart: "I am very unfamiliar, and I go to the Qinglou with this old bastard, and often let me pay the bill." ”

When Wang Dalun heard this, he was stupid, you just slapped your chest loudly, why are you cowardly now. scolded in his heart, but he still said: "Shibo, who doesn't know you in Xingxian, if you open your mouth to say something, Xingxian will tremble, who dares not to give you face!" ”

Yao Yuanwai listened to it, and felt very useful, his eyebrows were about to fly, but he said modestly in his mouth: "The virtuous nephew praised it in vain, where is it, the virtuous nephew, you think too highly of your uncle." ”

Yao Yuanwai continued: "If it is something else, I estimate that Zhao Yuanwai will give me a face, but you also know that the weather has been dry recently, and the water is related to this year's harvest." This is related to vital interests, and it is a bit difficult to do! If you want him to give in, unless······" Yao Yuan wanted to speak and stopped.

"Oh, Shibo, you can say anything you want!" Wang Dalun said urgently.

Yao Yuanwai saw that Wang Dalun was starting to be impatient, and he was very proud, thinking: Sample, see if you are not ready.

Yao Yuanwai waited for Wang Dalun to be anxious for a while, and then said slowly: "Virtuous nephew, you think, having water now is equal to this year's harvest, if Zhao Yuanwai lets you, then he won't suffer losses?" If you want to make him give in, there is only one way, and that is to compensate him for his losses. If you give him a hundred acres of land, then I will be able to speak. ”

"Compensate him for his losses? Give him a hundred acres, why don't you let him rob it" Wang Dalun said angrily.

"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry, speak slowly!" Yao Yuanwai comforted Wang Dalun, then took a sip of tea and said: "If the virtuous nephew is unwilling to give him a hundred acres of land, there is another way, that is, you can divide the eighty acres of land bordering him into my name, so that I can talk to him, I don't think he dares not to give me this face, virtuous nephew, what do you think?" Yao asked with a smile.

Speaking of which, Wang Dalun finally understood that the two bastards Zhao Zhigao and Yao Shuming were in a gang, and the two of them were counted together. Looking at Yao Shuming's prey to his mouth, with a smug fat face, Wang Dalun just wanted to slap him.

This is still a world friend, it's really thinner than paper! It's also a cash cow, it's better to call death and ask for money.
