Chapter 669: Apprentice and Son
On the evening of July 20, Wang Sen's spirit was better than when he saw the Mu brothers, when the visitor walked into the house, he could even stand up tremblingly, but the person who came in did not dare to slack off, hurriedly walked a few steps, helped Wang Sen to sit on the bamboo couch, and said softly: "Master, you are about to ascend to the immortal, but you can't damage your physical body, you have to take care of it." ”
"What kind of ascending immortals, it's nothing more than that you're about to enter the ground, these statements are just deceiving and confusing people, let's talk about this between master and apprentice." Wang Sen seemed very happy, and his words unconsciously brought a bit of market energy.
After saying this, he was helped to sit down, Wang Sen clapped his hands again, and said self-deprecatingly: "You can't say this in front of you, the contemporary sect leader, the old man is confused!" ”
"The master killed Hongru, Hongru is an apprentice in front of the master, how dare he call him a sect leader." Xu Hongru, who was dressed in a green shirt, smiled and spoke, and stood beside him with his hands down.
Wang Sen slowly raised his hand and patted Xu Hongru, and said with emotion: "If our sect didn't have you, there wouldn't be today, I can't be your master, if I keep doing it, I don't know what this smelling incense sect is like, but look at the situation now, what is the situation in the northern provinces, if it is a good sage's useless goods to do, I am afraid that it will have been swallowed by the Wuwei Sect and the mallet, it all depends on you!" ”
Xu Hongru smiled slightly, and just said: "It's all the master's wisdom, and it's also the master's Hongfu Qitian, and the apprentice is just a stain." ”
"When people are old, they always think about the past, at that time, the old man felt that our future was in the capital, and he felt that he could make these nobles believe, that glory and wealth, and the achievement of the avenue are natural things, but you feel that this future is not in the rich land, and in poverty, the old man lent you the position of the sect leader, now look, you are still right!"
When Wang Sen said the word "borrow", he glanced at it intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Hongru, who was standing on the side, had a gentle smile on his face, without the slightest reaction, Wang Sen still had that kind of emotional look on his face, just slapped his forehead with his hand, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm old, I'm confused, what to borrow or not, this position should be yours, Haoxian didn't suffer back then, and he likes to enjoy it, so he can still give him this position, he has to spoil this situation." ”
Hearing this, Xu Hongru said gently: "Master said that there is a second brother, he is sincere, and he will definitely have a great use in the sect in the future, and glory and wealth are also indispensable, please rest assured that Master." ”
Wang Sen nodded again and again, his laughing beard trembled, his breath touched his lungs, and he couldn't help coughing, Xu Hongru hurriedly stepped forward and patted his back gently, and said gently: "Master must take care of his body, when he gets out of here, there is still a long way to go, and he will enjoy happiness for many years." ”
"There is no need to take care of this body, there is already a fistula inside, and I don't want to go out again, the habit of living here is better than outside." Wang Sen said slowly.
Xu Hongru still had that calm expression, looked around, and said with a smile: "This is indeed a paradise, Master can think more than back then!" ”
Unlike the Mu brothers who came the night before, the two Mu brothers completely put themselves in the position of servant apprentices, and although Xu Hongru was polite, his attitude was equal, but he was very cold in his bones.
Speaking of this, the master and apprentice were speechless for a while, Wang Sen looked at Xu Hongru, the two of them were very calm and calm, just looked at each other for a while, Wang Sen's eyes began to be a little sluggish, and his expression began to get tired, he no longer looked at each other, lowered his head gloomily, sighed and said: "Hongru, we have no roots, what is the purpose of worshipping Buddha and passing on the scriptures, isn't it just to live a better life, it's okay to get here, it's easy to get into trouble if you go further!" ”
Xu Hongru didn't answer, Wang Sen couldn't maintain a sitting posture, and wanted to lie down on his side, Xu Hongru stepped forward to help support, lying there, Wang Sen muttered again: "The old man has been arrested several times, why has he not been offended, and today's days have passed, just because he knows his duty, he has not committed the taboo of the official family, how many people don't understand this, and began to think about deceiving people, deceiving more, deceiving big, he was confused, and he made a fuss, and when the imperial army came, it was too late to wake up, Hongru, you are smart by nature, If it weren't for the twists and turns of the year, you might have been a noble person, but you are not bad now."
The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, his eyes gradually closed, he paused for a while, as if he wanted to accumulate strength, and said in a weak voice: "Those royal relatives and relatives, the old man thinks that they may not be better off than you, this is enough, be content, when the time comes, it will be passed on from generation to generation, how good"
"Master, people should be content, but if God doesn't take it, then it will be a disaster." Xu Hongru replied briefly, and the gentle expression on his face had disappeared.
Wang Sen seemed to be asleep, and when Xu Hongru was about to withdraw, Wang Sen said weakly: "Treat the Mu family well, everyone is out of the same door, and the same door will kill each other, which will let others take advantage."
"Master, don't worry, I will take care of my second brother Haoxian and Master's family children." Xu Hongru replied to the question.
Wang Sen raised his hand with difficulty and waved, Xu Hongru said two more greetings, turned around and walked out of the house.
As soon as Xu Hongru came out of the house, Wang Sen opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the door, his face was not very good-looking, but he didn't see the slightest weakness at this time.
**********
On the night of July 21, everyone knew that the old gods sat down tonight, even if they only saw one guest during the day, and this guest was a certain big man, other believers and incense people still sent all kinds of offerings, hoping that the old gods could still remember their benefits and piety after ascending to the immortals.
The prison of the Criminal Department at night was completely quiet, and the old fairy had already said that this sitting would affect cause and effect, and the people who came over were easily contaminated, which was equivalent to setting fire to the body and offsetting the blessings accumulated over the years, so that there were no outsiders coming, and even the jailers and servants of the prison of the Criminal Department were far away, and this old man would not escape from prison anyway.
Unlike the previous two nights, this time Wang Sen did not sit cross-legged on the bamboo couch, nor did he make any weak and emotional attitude, he just sat on the edge of the bamboo couch, his back straight, looking at tonight's visitors, with a look of disgust on his face.
The one sitting under Wang Sen was a middle-aged man in his thirties, white and chubby, wearing a Taoist robe with gold thread and cloud pattern, a silver crown and tied hair, and his whole body was extremely delicately decorated.
Such a character is seen by the sharp-eyed, and it can be immediately judged that he is the son of a rich and noble family, who has enjoyed happiness and has never suffered since he was a child, and this one is also decent, but he is fat and supports his facial features, and he looks very festive, this middle-aged man has a cringe look on his face, and he doesn't even dare to raise his eyes to look.
"How much silver did you spend on this jade pendant on your waist? Last time Wu Qinghou's younger brother came over, his jade pendant was not as good as yours! Wang Sen asked.
Marquis Wuqing is the title of Emperor Wanli's mother's family, and he is the No. 1 noble family in the Ming Dynasty at present, extremely wealthy, and the younger brother of Marquis Wuqing has no title, but he also has the name of a commander in Jinyiwei, and he is rich enough to rival the country's net worth.
Hearing Wang Sen ask, the middle-aged man sitting below suddenly became interested, took down the jade pendant and said: "Dad is really good eyesight, this jade pendant is an old material in Shaanxi, made by the best jade craftsman in Suzhou, and the son spent 1,300 taels of silver to take it down, but unfortunately it is not as good as the one of the sixth child of the Zheng family, he spent 2,000 taels."
Wang Sen's face was full of frost, and he shouted angrily: "Bastard, I have never seen you have such thoughts in the family business, and you understand this kind of bad money hook, such a big family business makes you corrupt a little bit, and the situation that should have been surnamed Wang is about to be taken away by others, Wang Haoxian, there is a good thing in you!" There can be a relationship with this virtuous! ”
Wang Haoxian below shrank his head when he was scolded, his face was full of regret, and he lowered his head and muttered there: "The people below only listen to Xu Hongru, what can I do." ”
"You!" Wang Sen was so angry that he shouted angrily again, and stretched out his hand to point at his son, at this time, his voice was loud and his movements were powerful, and he could see that he would die tonight.
Wang Haoxian shrank his head again, but he didn't wait for the expected scolding, only to hear Wang Sen sigh and say astringently: "It's also my fault, I don't want you to suffer from my back then, you were too pampered, but a few apprentices made it, but you abolished it." ”
"Dad, if they want this situation for them to ask for it, what's wrong with us having so much silver in our hands, so happy to live." Wang Haoxian said tentatively, seeing that Wang Sen didn't react, he said it even more vigorously.
"When I get my dad outside, let's not stay in this bitter cold place, our family moved to Yangzhou, I heard that there is a world of flowers, the weather is warm, and my father will spend his old age in peace."
Wang Sen just smiled bitterly, pointed at Wang Haoxian with his finger, and said helplessly: "You think too simply, I have already made arrangements for going out this time, you don't care if I go there, you are happy, do you know how many people are staring at you?" ”
"Dad, aren't you going to live with us?" Wang Haoxian's stunned inquiry, which seemed a pity, couldn't hide the smile between his eyebrows.
Wang Sen frowned and asked coldly, "What, you feel happy." ”
Below, Wang Haoxian shook his head desperately, and Wang Sen wanted to scold again, but in the end, he just sighed, shook his head and said: "It's okay if you can do this, you don't have the heart to compete, they will not attack you if they read the inheritance of our Wang family." ”
Looking at the ignorant look on Wang Haoxian's face, Wang Sen was even more helpless, but he still said there: "Dad told you a family matter, and in another year or two, this family matter will be done, and after you get married, you don't have to worry about anything, let their family be busy, and let them have more ideas."
