Chapter 402 Meilou scenery
The people who greeted him at the door of this building were Zheng Zhibao and others, who had also chartered a building and were ready to entertain the squire of the Nanjing Military Department.
And Zheng Zhibao was also poking his head out and waiting for the carriage of the Nanjing Military Department, so he didn't notice the collision of Wu Shigong's pedestrian, so when he reacted, the guards on both sides were already showing their short weapons with sabre-rattling.
But after all, it was on the most lively banknote street in Nanjing, and the two sides were facing each other like this, and no one dared to make the first move. However, at this time, Zheng Zhibao led a lot of people, so in addition to more than a dozen guards around him, the rest of the guards also formed a half circle and forced Wu Shigong.
But Zheng Zhibao is still sober after all, he knows that the people who can come to the bankhouse street to play have at least some identity, and the people with more than 20 guards are either rich or expensive, so he called a few times in Hokkien to let his guards not act rashly.
On Wu Shigong's side, when there was a conflict, Zhang Rubao, who followed Wu Shigong closely, immediately blocked Wu Shigong with his thick body in accordance with the standard protection procedures, and Wu Shigong was also squeezed so that he couldn't understand the situation for a while.
And the bad root nature of Chinese people who like to watch the excitement began to attack. The surrounding crowd immediately formed a large circle, and they were not afraid that they would be attacked by the pond fish, so they were ready to watch the two sides start fighting in full force.
But before those who watched the excitement could stand still, more than 170 guards arranged by Wu Shigong nearby also rushed over, and they pushed down the people in front of the circle regardless of everything, and rushed towards Zheng Zhibao's guards with weapons in hand.
It is an exaggeration that there are still more than 20 people still holding axes and guns, and nearly 10 people are armed with fire guns, and it is not known how these guards brought these long weapons into the banknote street.
When this group of guards joined, Zheng Zhibao's face changed. Everyone knows that the fight with the short blade and the use of the long weapon is the battle. That was basically a one-sided massacre. In particular, there were nearly ten fiery guns aimed at him.
Zheng Zhibao obviously saw that the soldier in front of him was a soldier. Otherwise, who would dare to show the fire in the city of Nanjing? But at this time, you can't weaken your momentum, and you don't know what happened? Therefore, Zheng Zhibao could only pale his face and shouted to Wu Shigong: "This adult, there is nothing for the villain to offend you!" Is there some misunderstanding? ”
It was only at this time that Wu Shigong understood what had happened. I heard Zheng Zhibao's accent quite familiar, that is, the tone of Mandarin spoken by modern Taiwanese compatriots, so it must have been a misunderstanding, because he didn't have any enemies in Fujian.
So, Wu Shigong immediately stopped the urge to protect himself. He bowed his hand to Zheng Zhibao from afar and said with a smile: "Misunderstanding! ”
Zheng Zhibao laughed dryly, and returned the salute: "What a good soldier trained by adults!" ”
Hearing Zheng Zhibao's compliment, Wu Shigong nodded to him with a smile, and then let his guards disperse. Go to the Meilou. However, Wu Shigong also admired the eyes of the strong man in front of him, and knew that he was carrying soldiers. And the strong man's guard is not weak. Even under the fire of his own guards, he can still stay calm, and he is indeed a character!
However, the current Wu Shigong did not have the idea of getting acquainted with Zheng Zhibao, and his thoughts were all on the banquet of Xu Wenjue, the prince of Wei. So Wu Shigong bowed his hand to Zheng Zhibao again, and then walked towards Meilou with his guards.
But before leaving, Wu Shigong suddenly had a joking thought, and threw down a sentence in Hokkien dialect: "Love to fight will win!" Then he walked away. In modern times, Wu Shigong sang this song in KTV. So his Hokkien pronunciation is quite standard.
Zheng Zhibao was really stunned for a while when he heard this hometown dialect, and he pondered the meaning of this sentence repeatedly. Suddenly, it dawned on me that this military attache was teaching his own experience in military training!
So Zheng Zhibao immediately laughed. He said to himself, "Interesting! It's kind of interesting! Suddenly, Zheng Zhibao's mind lit up, and he hadn't asked the military attache's name just now.
So Zheng Zhibao immediately called one of the guards beside him and arranged: "Follow him and find out who that person is!" "Zheng Zhibao originally came to Nanjing to make friends with people from all walks of life. He saw that Wu Shigong could rampage through Nanjing City with guards armed with firearms, and thought that this must also be a person with a background, so he also had the idea of making friends.
And Wu Shigong quickly put this skirmish in the back of his mind. He still walked around and looked at the scenery of the bankhouse street and the Qinhuai River. But as he walked, Wu Shigong felt a little awkward. After pondering it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me that my dress was a little out of place.
Now walking on the banknote street, except for those subordinates, whether they are old or young, tall, short, fat and thin, all of them are dressed as literati in long robes, but Wu Shigong himself is wearing short robes and leather boots for the convenience of his movements, although he is also wearing brocade clothes.
Wu Shigong was a little funny in his heart, isn't he just playing with a woman! Could it be that sullen will definitely be more popular than Mingsao? Don't look at yourselves with green light in your eyes! When the time comes, it will be a little more troublesome to take off your own clothes!
After walking less than a stick of incense, he came to a relatively quiet place, and the guards who explored the road in front had already asked for the place, and he made a secret signal to Tao Xin, so Wu Shigong knew that Meilou had arrived.
At the door of the Meilou, you can see a few guys and aunts who are dressed very cleanly, and explain to some people with smiles on their faces: "I'm really sorry, the Meilou has been wrapped up today, how about you come back tomorrow, sorry, sorry." ”
There are also some guests who are very frustrated and complain there. Wu Shigong looked at the door carefully, and immediately frowned. Because at the door of Meilou now, except for those guys from Meilou, there is no one waiting to greet him.
Wu Shigong understood that it was impossible for Xu Wenjue, the prince of Wei, to go downstairs to greet him out of his identity, but Ma Shouxin, who was warmly invited yesterday, did not appear. That's a bit of a counterintuitive. You must know that the etiquette between the sons and daughters of the honorable people is very particular. This doesn't greet guests at the door, to say that there is no tutor, to say that there is no tutor, but to say that I don't take my guest to heart! Could it be that the master, Xu Wenjue, hasn't arrived yet? Did you come early?
Tao Xin and the others stepped forward to report Wu Shigong's identity, and they may have already said hello, and several little maids came to greet them immediately. The maids who came to greet Meilou looked well-trained, that is, they were slightly surprised by Wu Shigong's short robe in their eyes, and said with a smile: "Please go inside, sir." ”
After arriving in the Ming Dynasty, Wu Shigong has not had much opportunity to go to the Qinglou. The only time he played on the occasion was either an official banquet or an arrangement for the gentry he befriended. It can be said that it was either ignored like the manling at that time, or it was completely held as she wanted, and she went to the Qinglou in a serious manner according to the procedures of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and it was really the first time that the eldest girl got on the sedan chair.
Wu Shigong didn't dare to be rude, he smiled at the maids, these girls are thirteen or fourteen years old, Wu Shigong was worried that these maids would not come over and pull very enthusiastically, how should he deal with it. However, his worries are obviously redundant, these maids are very measured, which makes Wu Shigong feel very comfortable.
Wu Shigong casually asked the maid in front of him: "Are they all here?" ”
The maid smiled generously and replied, "The world is all together, just waiting for the arrival of the gentleman." But this answer made Wu Shigong frown. He also lost the interest in talking.
The place where guests are entertained in the eyebrow tower is deep. The maids led Wu Shigong to walk quietly. Wu Shigong carefully admired the scenery on both sides. Although Meilou is a building, it is actually a courtyard of a small scale, the rockery, flowers and trees in the yard are arranged very ingeniously, it is pleasing to the eye to look at, and it makes people very comfortable.
And when you walk into the building, the decorations inside are complicated, and you can see that the person who arranged it has spent a lot of effort. However, for Wu Shigong, who is now obsessed with money, the ornaments he sees can't help but think of money. In modern terms, these ornaments should all be antiques.
However, this arrangement is indeed elegant, and Wu Shigong feels that it is better than the decoration in his modern nightclub. But there's nothing to furnish in a modern nightclub, it's all such a dark room, and you can't see anything!
Finally, he didn't completely lose his courtesy, and outside the reception room, Ma Shouxin, who had been informed, greeted Wu Shigong at the door. After the two saluted politely, Ma Shouxin welcomed Wu Shigong into the room.
There were already five or six young men sitting in the room, and Ma Shouxin began to introduce Wu Shigong one by one. First of all, of course, it is Xu Wenjue, the prince of Wei. Wu Shigong saluted Xu Wenjue, looked at Xu Wenjue, and found that he was older than himself, handsome and handsome, but he had a good appearance.
In fact, while Wu Shigong was looking, Xu Wenjue was also looking at Wu Shigong, seeing that Wu Shigong was five big and three thick, his appearance was not good, and he was wearing a short robe like a shame, and his contempt for Wu Shigong in his heart was a little more. Xu Wenjue also regretted that he arranged for Liu Ru to accompany Wu Shigong today, isn't that a cow chewing peonies, and he doesn't understand the amorous style?
If it weren't for the silver spent by the wronged boss Ma Shouxin, maybe Xu Wenjue would have to change the color of the goods to Wu Shigong immediately. However, Xu Wenjue has a good upbringing after all, so he still can't see some different colors on the surface.
Then Ma Shouxin introduced those escorts to Wu Shigong, what is the third son of the Shangshu family; What, what is the fifth young master of the Hou family. Anyway, Wu Shigong can't remember so much, just saluting one by one.
However, the reaction of those accompanying guests was not as good as Xu Wenjue, and some people were a little perfunctory when they returned the gift. Of course, Wu Shigong also observed this, but Wu Shigong could only pretend not to see it. I can't help it! People are poor and short-sighted! (To be continued......)
