Chapter 72 Agreement
Wang Xi opened his eyes, and the sunset filled the sky, reflecting the red curtain.
She sat up in surprise and asked Bai Guo anxiously, "Is there a letter from Chen Luo?" ”
Bai Guo smiled and nodded, and while taking a hot handkerchief to wipe her face, he said: "A pigeon came in the afternoon, resting on the steps in front of our hall and not walking, Anan picked it up and looked at it, and found that it had a note tied to its leg, only to know that it was a pigeon raised by Chen Gongzi." ”
Hey! This Chen Luo is quite interesting.
Wang Xi smiled comfortably and said, "What are you writing?" ”
Bai Guo hurriedly went to get the note to Wang Xi, and said: "Chen Gongzi said that he has moved back to Lu Mingxuan to live, and he wants to make an appointment to meet you at the side door of the back garden of the eldest princess's mansion, do you think it is feasible?" ”
The Eldest Princess's Mansion occupies half of the two alleys, but does the Eldest Princess's Mansion have a side door?
But it was just before the curfew, so it was a good time.
Wang Xi saw that it was the beginning of the unitary period, so he hurriedly asked people to inquire about the side door of the eldest princess's mansion.
Bai Guo came back and said: "I didn't dare to ask with great fanfare, I heard the old man in the mansion say that the side gate of the back garden of the eldest princess's mansion is in the three alleys, but I think since Lord Chen mentioned it, there must be something that everyone doesn't know." I went to look at it myself, and found that Ertiao Hutong, not far from the alley of Liuyinyuan, there was a creeper blocking, like an abandoned corner gate, I thought, Master Chen should be talking about that place. You see, we're going to send someone to wait there. ”
Wang Xi felt prepared and said, "Then you send Xiao Nan to keep an eye on it, if it's not right, we'll think of other ways." Then he asked Wang Xi if he had returned.
If she wants to deal with Chen Luo for a long time, she can't meet Chen Luo in person everywhere, firstly, because time does not allow it, and secondly, the relationship between the two is easy to be noticed by others, and it is not easy for them to do something in private, so what is the point of Chen Luo looking for her?
She said, "I'll let Wang Xi accompany me later." ”
It can be regarded as officially introducing Wang Xi to Chen Luo, and if there is anything in the future, Wang Xi can come forward to deal with Chen Luo's people on her behalf.
Bai Guo answered, turned around to see if Wang Xi had returned from Xishan.
Wang Xi went to accompany Mrs. Tai to dinner, and when Shi Zhu sat down in the flower hall to drink tea, Shi Zhu was chattering there again, Wang Xi had something in his heart, so he simply found an excuse to go back to Qingxue Garden in advance.
Mrs. Tai frowned and said nothing.
Baizhu couldn't help but feel unhappy for Wang Xi: "Mrs. Tai is too partial, obviously you didn't say anything, then Shi Zhu can also be pulled on you, the tiger is not powerful, they still think you are a sick cat, I think, you should also find a way to give them a dismount."
"Being stared at like this by flies all the time, although it doesn't hurt, it's a little uncomfortable after all."
Wang Xi has more important things, where would she take Shi Zhu's small methods to heart, she said: "I'll talk about it when I'm busy for a while." ”
Bai Shu didn't say anything, so he and Bai Zhi helped Wang Xi change into a dark dress and accompanied Wang Xi to Liuyin Garden.
The wings and halls in the willow shade garden have been repaired, and they are waiting for the painting to bear the dust, move the furniture, and scatter the smell of raw lacquer for a few days before they can come in and live.
Wang Xi was very satisfied, and said to Baizhu: "Clean up the tea room in our main courtyard, and we can use the stove in the tea room to boil autumn pear paste in autumn." ”
Bai Shu smiled a few times and said, "Wherever the eldest lady goes, she has to make the place where she lives the same as at home." ”
"Of course." Wang Xi smiled and walked roughly around the willow shade garden, and said, "Life is in the world, and there are two things: food and housing." Neither of these two pieces can be satisfied, and there is nothing to do. ”
Those who serve around them often hear Wang Xi's "childish words", and they all joke about what Wang Xi will have tomorrow for breakfast.
Wang Xi laughed with them and walked out of the courtyard.
Wang Xi was already waiting outside the courtyard, she only took a maid from Baizhu and went to the small corner gate that Baiguo said before.
The corner door really opened, and a seven- or eight-year-old boy probed his brain there, and when he saw Wang Xi and others, he rushed to report the news.
By the time Wang Xi stood still at the corner gate, Chen Luo had already led a boy who was about the same age as Wang Xi and dressed as an entourage and walked out.
"Miss Wang!" He greeted Wang Xi politely, and looked at Wang Xi with a smile, with a clear insight into the world in his eyes.
He could see that she was deliberately approaching him, right?
Wang Xi was a little ashamed, thinking that the eldest brother was unwilling to let her show up, for fear that she would be angry, and there was really some reason.
She introduced Wang Xi to Chen Luo and said, "This is my brother Wang Xi, if there is anything in the future, it is inconvenient for me to come forward, so let him help me run errands." ”
Chen Luo thought of going with her, pointed to a man dressed as an entourage beside him, and his appearance was so ordinary that you would not find it if he was lost in the crowd, and succinctly introduced the sentence "This is Chen Yu".
The implication is that this is the person he arranged to contact Wang Xi.
Wang Xi nodded politely at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu stepped forward to salute Wang Xi and retreated behind Chen Luo in silence.
That location, if you don't pay attention, you don't even know there's a person standing there.
It seems that this Chen Yu is not simple!
Wang Xi thought about it, so he confessed to the Xiaoyaozi of Zhenwu Temple, and said: "If it is convenient for you, you can also go to this person!" ”
Chen Luo listened, and looked at her gaze a little solemn.
The Chen family has been entrenched in the capital since before the founding of this dynasty, and he is the emperor's nephew, and it is difficult to say in other places, and there is no door in the capital that he can't enter.
Wang Xi can tell him this matter honestly, regardless of anything else, this attitude can judge that the Wang family is worth handing over.
What's more, under his vague words, she can still find the right place.
It made Chen Luo appreciate it even more.
He said: "Over there in the Zhenwu Temple, if you can find a place to find someone, you must have a good relationship with this person called Xiaoyaozi, there are some things, it is inconvenient for me to come forward now, or you sent someone to find him." ”
Chen Luo is powerful, powerful and connected, and if the Wang family wants him to look at him, he must have a place where Chen Luo can use it.
As for not telling Chen Luo that she had sent Wang Xi to find Xiaoyaozi, Xiaoyaozi promised to help them see the formula of the incense powder, out of a prudent perspective - in case Xiaoyaozi was unwilling to take care of this matter at all, they introduced Xiaoyaozi to Chen Luo again, which not only disappointed the friendship between Wang Chen and Xiaoyaozi, but also made Chen Luo feel that the people of the Wang family were useless, and they couldn't even do this little thing, and they asked him to come forward in person.
Now, Wang Xi thinks that Chen Luo is also good, and he is completely an attitude of not doubting the deputy and not using the suspicious.
That's good.
It's a good start.
Wang Xi bowed his head with a smile and decided to be more straightforward when dealing with Chen Luo.
She said, "Have you ever brought incense powder?" If you have extra powder, we can find someone else to help you take a look. ”
Chen Luo let out a "hmm", and Chen Yu, who looked like a shadow, took a few steps forward and handed Wang Xi a fist-sized paper bag.
Wang Xi glanced at Wang Xi, and Wang Xi accepted it.
Chen Luo said: "This is all the incense powder I can get." ”
I don't know if he told her that it was impossible to get her incense powder anymore, or was he telling her that he would leave all the incense powder matters to her?
Wang Xi decided that no matter what Chen Luo's meaning was, she would treat it as these two meanings.
Like the stewards around her eldest brother, everything that pleases her eldest brother and gets her eldest brother reused, isn't it all this style of doing things?
Since she wants to help Chen Luo do things, she has to correct her attitude first.
Wang Xi smiled sweetly, his eyes bent into crescent moons, and said, "Don't worry, Lord Chen, I will take care of these incense powders." ”
The relationship between her and Chen Luo has changed, and naturally she can't talk nonsense like before.
What can't be done can't be misunderstood by Chen Luo that she can do it, let alone ambiguously promise that she can do it, and what she says, it must be done.
She didn't know if she could figure out the formula of the incense powder, so she could only ensure that the incense powder would not fall into the hands of others.
Chen Luo smiled with satisfaction and said, "I have a small shop selling incense sticks next to the Yellow Temple in the west of the city, and the shopkeeper is surnamed Wu. ”
The Yellow Temple is also a temple with very strong incense, and it also has convenient transportation, many ordinary people worship incense there, and there are many people coming and going. It's not easy to have a point of contact there, even if someone wants to keep an eye on it.
Wang Xi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but glance at Chen Luo.
Chen Luo suddenly asked her: "I heard that the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion began to renovate the Willow Shade Garden?" ”
Wang Xi was stunned for a moment, and casually answered "yes", but his heart was pounding.
Did he find out about himself spying on him? Or is it hinting at her something?
But Chen Luo didn't say anything next, and left the corner gate with the words "You work hard, say hello to Brother Ling on my behalf".
Wang Xi stood there in a daze for a long time before getting up and going home.
Bai Guo had been waiting in the Willow Garden with fear, and when they saw Wang Xi coming back safely and smoothly, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Xi had time to ask Wang Xi about visiting Xiaoyaozi at this time.
Wang Xi said: "When I went, the Taoist chief went out to visit friends, but he was not at home, and he didn't come back until the lights were lit at night. I sent the uncle's greeting post, and he also complained about why the uncle didn't go to see him, and asked me to bring a letter to the uncle, saying that he was going to live in Mount Emei at this time next year, so that the uncle could entertain him well.
"He accepted the incense powder, didn't ask what was going on, only said that I would listen to the news in ten days."
Wang Xi breathed a long sigh of relief.
Whether it works out or not, that's good news.
She said to Wang Xi: "Dao Chief, you must keep an eye on it, whether it can be done or not, it's up to you here." ”
Wang Xi respectfully agreed.
Wang Xi thought for a while, and asked him to find a few people from the big shopkeeper: "You are also in charge now, you can't let you run everything yourself, from now on, you must also learn to gather a few people who can be used by you." ”
That's what it means to reuse him.
Wang Xi was overjoyed, in addition to the two little guys brought out from home, he went to the big shopkeeper to pick a few, one of them arranged to serve Xiaoyaozi, the other followed him to run errands, and the two little guys took turns to stay in the willow shade garden, waiting for Wang Xi's orders.
