Chapter 041: Calculation
After the Marquis of Dingyuan dispersed, he also asked his friends to go to Hongxing Building to eat and drink, although Hongxing Building is a place where upper-class people come and go, but it is inevitable to be curious about gossip.
Listening to the people in the box next door talking loudly about the various deeds of the Marquis of Wenchang today, I couldn't help but sigh to my friends: "I think that back then, the Marquis of Wenchang retreated from the enemy for a hundred miles, and extended the border defense line to the east of the Dragon Slaying Pass, and the people at that time all praised it, and the saints were happy, and they gave Danshu iron coupons, and then look at it now, the ink of the achievements recorded in history has not dried, but people have forgotten the people's hero who threw his head and spilled blood on the battlefield, it is really ......"
His friend poured him a full bottle of wine and made a look: "Be cautious, drink." ”
Marquis Dingyuan shook his head, that's it, this Hongxing Building is not a good place, it is said to be the property of the royal people, and talking nonsense will kill the head.
Dingyuan Hou drank a few glasses of wine and prepared to go back.
A friend said: "Since Brother He is unhappy in his heart, why don't you secretly take action and help?" This charcoal in the snow will definitely make them remember it for a long time, maybe it will be good to exchange it for a personal favor one day. ”
When the Marquis of Dingyuan heard this, the expression on his face froze, and then he indifferently held the wine glass, and said righteously: "At the foot of the imperial city, the heroes of the Son of Heaven, if there is a difficulty, it is naturally the support of the saint, like mere medics, and there is nowhere to start to help, it is better to settle down, so as not to help the saint, and never rob the saint of the credit, it is a capital crime." ”
Several friends smiled meaninglessly, looked at Dingyuan Hou and shook their heads.
Dingyuan Hou is a person, and most of them know it in their hearts.
The face is very good, and what he said is the Tao, if you really want him to do something, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, it is better to seek the Buddha.
Since the accident in the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion, the Marquis of Dingyuan has stayed away.
In the past, they were still nodding friends, occasionally meeting and talking a few words, sitting down and drinking a cup of tea, and after the Marquis of Wenchang fell, the Marquis of Dingyuan even walked around the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion.
He is not stupid, he is a human spirit who grew up in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, knowing that someone wants to bring down the Marquis of Wenchang, he doesn't hurry up and run away, what if this is affected?
Marquis Wenchang is a marquis, he is also a marquis of Dingyuan, and his family style and family background are almost the same, fortunately he is not a marshal, and he has no military power in his hands, otherwise those people may not engage in Marquis Wenchang, and turn to him!
Think about it, how dangerous, how terrible.
He was scared to death.
So although He Haoqian likes to practice martial arts since he was a child, he also likes the art of war, and finally became a five-grade general in the Xiguan camp, being a small leader, occasionally patrolling the imperial city, shopping around the moat or something, this marshal is not a general, he is not even qualified to fight, how good!
Dingyuan Hou doesn't know how satisfied!
Smart or he is smart, how can he be like the fool of Wenchanghou?
Even if you go to war by yourself, even your own son will be taken with you, now it's okay, the whole army will be wiped out!
The whole house is broken!
Marquis Dingyuan drank the wine in the cup, put the wine glass down, and stood up: "Everyone, the family is still waiting for dinner, so I'll leave first." ”
It's really not early.
A few of his friends knew his temperament well and didn't stop him.
It's just that at this time, a friend said: "Brother He, don't worry, I have something to confirm with you." ”
He Haoqian sat down again and asked, "What's the matter?" If it's about Qian'er's marriage, I have to go back and ask my wife, you know, I can't be the master, but those few small ones can be talked about. ”
My friend smiled: "It's not like this, I heard that the second son of the Marquis of Wenchang went to the camp in Xiguan?" ”
Dingyuanhou's face darkened: "Why haven't I heard about this?" ”
Several friends looked at each other, a little surprised.
"Brother He, this matter is already known all over the city, why haven't you heard of it?"
"Qian'er didn't discuss this with you?"
Dingyuanhou's face became worse and worse.
He is an idle marquis, he walks chickens and teases birds when he has nothing to do, and he has something to do with his friends to drink wine and tea in the mountains, and by the way, he goes to some antique shops to hunt for treasures, and he Haoqian is really good to tell him about things in the barracks.
It's just that taking a person like Jiang Fengyi to the Xiguan camp is not a trivial matter!
The Marquis of Dingyuan was furious.
He slapped the table and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, I think I gave this kid too much freedom, and made him forget who he is!" ”
A few friends wanted to laugh, but they held back.
Another person said: "I heard that this afternoon, the people of the Wenchang Hou Mansion carried seven or eight boxes of thank you gifts to your house, and you still accepted them. ”
Taking Jiang Fengyi to Xiguan for training can be said to be a joke between juniors, but the Hou Mansion received a thank you gift, so this matter is a matter between the two Hou Mansions.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is the release of the meaning of friendship between the two governments.
A few of my friends understand this.
They guessed that Dingyuan Hou wouldn't do this, but they couldn't figure out why it was like this, so they specially asked, after all, they were all mixed up in a circle, who didn't have to give anyone a face?
Marquis Dingyuan was really speechless this time.
His son is fooling around, he can still scold a few words, what's the matter with this thank you?
Marquis Dingyuan dropped the cup in shock and anger, got up and went downstairs, and hurriedly returned home with the little servant.
When I returned to the house and asked, the housekeeper explained the cause and effect.
Dingyuan Hou almost didn't pout.
When the manager saw his master like this, he knew that he would definitely not get better now, and he had a big disaster!
He asked tremblingly, "Or, while it's not dark, let's send it back quickly?" ”
Dingyuan Hou shook off the little guy who was holding him away, and scolded angrily: "Stupid! You are carrying the box back now, and when the time comes, people will say that it is a gift from me, and you can't explain it with ten mouths! ”
Steward: "......"
The five gift boxes were not engraved with the badge of the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion, and there was no mark that could be clearly identified as the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion, and no one had seen anything inside.
When the time came, they sent the things back, and the people from the Wenchang Marquis Mansion shouted at the door, and the whole capital knew that they had returned the gift to the Marquis of Dingyuan!
Not only did his reputation suffer, but things were also put in, and the Marquis of Dingyuan probably died on the spot in anger.
The manager was trembling, overwhelmed, and even a little confused.
He muttered: "The people of this Wenchang Marquis Mansion are so sinister......"
Marquis Dingyuan scolded with his head and face: "It's not that people are sinister, it's you stupid!" From the moment they entered, you fell into the pit! ”
He even suspects now that Jiang Fengyi's trip to the Xiguan camp was also part of the strategy, in order to have a relationship with him Dingyuanhou!
Disgusting!
Dingyuan Hou was angry, and he couldn't figure it out: "This Jiang Sheng looks like a very pragmatic person, how can he think of such an insidious method?" Could it be that the Hou Mansion raised a strategist? ”
The manager shook his head: "The villain doesn't know, but this thank you gift is sent by the prince of the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion......"
Marquis Dingyuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mrs. Shizi?" Is that the wild girl from the Southern Barbarians? ”
The manager stretched out his sleeve to wipe his sweat, and nodded while wiping his sweat: "Yes, yes." ”
Marquis Dingyuan: "......"
I think that at the beginning, Jiang Beiyu married such a thing, and he secretly enjoyed it for a long time.
Looking at the fool of Wenchanghou, it is not good to teach children, and it is not good to choose a daughter-in-law.
He won't be like this, and if he can't get on the stage, it will be impossible for him to enter the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Now it's good, retribution is coming, and the wild girl who is not on the stage has calculated him!
