Chapter 68: Big Brother
Although he lamented that it was too difficult to do something serious, it also inspired Wang Xi's fighting spirit.
Isn't it just a recipe? She didn't believe it, with the help of the Wang family, she couldn't find out which ingredients they were!
It's too hard to innovate, can't you copy it?
Wang Xi packed up his things with Dr. Feng and the others and went back to the pharmacy.
It's just that when he got out of the carriage, Wang Xi found that someone was sneaking over to peek at them, and he quietly pulled people out.
It's just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, white and tender, like a young man from a rich family, with round eyes and a very clever look.
He was not timid at all when he was caught by Wang Xi, but threatened Wang Xi: "What are you doing in broad daylight?" I'm just standing here and watching the excitement, why are you holding on to me? If you do this again, I'm going to shout 'help'!" The people who have alarmed the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, you just wait to go to the yamen with me to fight a lawsuit! ”
Wang Xi's face darkened, and he thought he was a son of a powerful family.
Fortunately, Chen Luo's people left behind escorted Wang Xi all the way into the city, and they didn't say a word when they heard the words, and dragged the little girl to Shuntian Mansion. The little guy was scared at this time, and said: "I am the personal entourage of the little prince of Qingyun Hou Mansion, you let me go quickly, this matter will be stopped, otherwise our little boy will find it, don't think that you are Long Xiangwei's people can get rid of it." ”
Several of Long Xiangwei's people were wearing civilian clothes, and when they heard this, they not only didn't let go, but also laughed and said, "Do you know that we are Long Xiangwei's? Do you know who we are? ”
The little guy was obviously scared, but he was reluctant to admit defeat, and said, "I saw your waist card." If you say that, it must be under the command of Lord Chen. But Lord Chen's command can't kill people casually! Besides, I, I didn't do anything! Just standing here and looking at it casually. ”
Only then did Wang Xi find out that although Long Xiangwei's few people were wearing civilian clothes, their waist cards were hanging directly on their waists, as if they were not afraid that others would know their identities. didn't say anything, he was also talking leisurely all the way, very relaxed, even he found that someone was peeking, these people seemed to be nothing.
The attitude is quite arrogant.
Could this be the emperor's personal guard?
Wang Xi felt that these people were not very reliable.
Those few Long Xiangwei laughed when they heard what the little guy said, and said, "Since you know that we are under the command of Lord Chen, you should know that we are not murderous." However, we can hand you over to the Pacification Division. Of course, you won't be afraid if we hand you over to the Zhenfu Division, the thousands of households in the north and south of the Zhenfu Division are all from your Qingyunhou Mansion, but we have to beat you half to death first, and then take Lord Chen's name and hand it over, you say, will the Qianhu Lord of the Zhenfu Division ask a doctor to treat people and then send them back to Qingyunhou's Mansion alive! ”
The little guy's face turned white when he heard this.
Long Xiangwei and Zhenfu Division, which one is easy to mess with!
Wang Xi didn't want the immortals to fight, they suffered, so he only asked the little guy: "Since you are a person from the Qingyun Marquis Mansion, what are you doing sneaking to our Jimin Hall?" ”
The little guy didn't dare to say anything to Long Xiangwei, but he was not afraid of Wang Xi, and said angrily when he heard the words: "What is sneaking, I am above board, okay!" I was ordered by our son-in-law to come and see if Miss Wang is back? Have you seen that Chaoyun? It's just that there are people from Long Xiangwei around you, I can't make up my mind for a while, I don't know what happened, I just want to see it clearly. How can you frame me like that! ”
is not a person who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, and does not dare to provoke Long Xiangwei.
Wang Xi didn't know what to say.
Long Xiangwei's people laughed again, and one of the leaders said to Wang Xi: "You can bring people in, and ask your young lady what to do with it." If we don't have to send it to the Suppression Division, then we'll go first. ”
If he really sent people to the Zhenfu Division, Qingyunhou would not go to Chen Luo, but he would definitely find them Wang's family and Jimintang.
Wang Xi shook his head in his heart, hurriedly said a good word, and took the silver to send Long Xiangwei's people, and then led the little guy into Jimin Hall, and said, "Do you want to go with me to see our young lady?" ”
Seeing that Wang Xi was dealing with Long Xiaowei's people without being humble or arrogant, the little guy had some means, so he couldn't help but look at him a few times, and he was ordered by Bo Mingyue, so he immediately said: "I want to go, I want to go." Our son-in-law even asked me to bring a message to Miss Wang! ”
Wang Xi took him to the courtyard where Dr. Feng lived in the backyard, and quietly took the words of this little guy.
If this little guy is not clever, he will not be able to serve Bo Mingyue closely.
Don't look at his young age, but he has seen a lot of people, even the people who serve the emperor and queen in the palace, and he has also dealt with them.
Although Wang Xi said that he had something to say, he didn't inquire about anything useful except that the name of this little guy was "Little Four".
Wang Xi had no choice but to give up.
Who knew that he had just stepped into the courtyard, but he heard Wang Xi exclaim: "Big brother, why are you here!" When did you come? Why don't you ask someone to bring me a letter in advance? I'll arrange for Wang Xi to pick you up! Do you have any important things to do when you come to the capital? How many days can you stay? Is there anything I can do to help? Do you have time to go to Chunfeng Building or Sijimei for dinner? Do you want me to book a table in advance? ”
Is the big boss coming?
Wang Xi listened, as if he had found the Dinghai God Needle, his heart was relieved, and he felt that the air was a little fresher.
He asked Bo Mingyue's little servant named Xiao Si to go to the teahouse next to him to drink tea, and he quickened his pace into the hall.
Wang Xi was holding a man about thirty years old and jumping and jumping.
Wang Xi's eyes were hot, and he stepped forward in three steps and two steps to salute the man, and respectfully shouted "uncle".
Wang Xi's eldest brother is called Wang Chen, an upper-medium height, his skin is not fair but not dark, his facial features are upright, he should be a person who can't be found in the crowd, but a pair of eyes are bright, tall and strong, and his temperament is gentle and elegant, but it makes people feel unordinary at first glance.
But even so, his appearance is still too ordinary compared to his two half-siblings.
He looks more like Wang Xi's great-grandfather, and like Wang Xi's great-grandfather, he is highly respected and trusted by everyone in the family.
"This is half a year older, and I came to the capital to see the world, how can I be even smaller compared to at home!" Wang Chen looked at his sister with a smile, the love in his eyes couldn't be hidden, he touched Wang Xi's black and smooth green silk, and said apologetically, "This time, the eldest brother can only stay in the capital for two days, the northwest is about to open, my father is old, and he is not going to go over this year, let me help him go." ”
After speaking, he handed a brocade box on the coffee table next to him to Wang Xi, "Didn't you say that you want a clairvoyant mirror like your eldest brother?" The eldest brother specially asked his friends in Guangdong to pay attention to it and got you a new one. Do you like it or not? If you don't like it, I'll pay attention to it and find you someone you like. ”
Wang Xi's eyes smiled like a crescent moon, nodded again and again, the brocade box was not opened, and he said repeatedly: "I like it, I like it!" My eldest brother got it for me, and I like it all. ”
As she spoke, she pulled Wang Chen to sit down on the Taishi chair next to her, and took the teacup brought by the maid and put it on his right hand, turned behind him and pinched his shoulder, courteously like a little bee, leaned on his side and continued to talk to him: "Are you going to the northwest?" Will those toasts go this year too? Where did Big Brother come from? Will you be able to catch the market open over there? ”
The so-called opening of the market in the northwest was actually a private gathering of Tusi and merchants from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Tibet, where they would book the trades of tea, salt, and silk needed by each family in the coming year.
It is usually set in September or October every year.
No matter how late it is, there will be heavy snow in some places, and you will not be able to come.
Wang Chen smiled and praised Wang Xi: "This time thanks to our glutinous glutinous, if you hadn't written to tell me that the Feng family in Huzhou was weaving cloth with silkworms, and the woven cloth was shiny than ordinary cotton cloth and stronger than ordinary silk, I wouldn't have made a special trip to Huzhou."
"This time, we placed an order of 200,000 taels of silver with the Feng family. If the northwest market can sell well, we will sign a long-term contract with the Feng family. Maybe you can also open the silk business in Jiangnan through the Feng family.
"Nuonuo, if you go back this time, I'm afraid my grandfather's small kitchen will not be safe!"
Nuonuo is Wang Xi's milk name.
She smiled and narrowed her eyes, and ran to Wang Chen and said proudly: "I have something else to tell my eldest brother, and when my eldest brother hears it, he must feel that my grandfather's small treasury is also gone!" ”
"Oh?" Wang Chen put down the teacup in his hand and put on a posture of listening to Wang Xi seriously, "Nuo Nuo said this, there must be something good again!" Tell Big Brother what's the matter? Let me be happy too! ”
Wang Xi's eyes rolled straight up, and he pursed his lips but remained silent.
When Wang Chen heard this, he immediately smiled and made some of the little maids in the house and even the entourage who followed him avoid it, and then smiled and teased Dr. Feng, who was sitting opposite him and watching their brothers and sisters frolicking: "Don't tell us that she found that the mending meatloaf in the capital and the flattened fried buns are almost the same method." ”
Dr. Feng and the others laughed.
Wang Xi was so angry that he crossed his waist.
Doctor Feng took the opportunity to give Feng Gao and Wang Chen's steward who stayed in the house a few looks.
Only the Wang Chen brothers and sisters and Dr. Feng were left in the house.
Wang Chen took in the playful color, but the smile lines in the corners of his eyes did not decrease at all, as if they were engraved on his face, making him feel a little kind even if he didn't smile.
"What's going on?" He was sitting on his back, looking serious and solemn, which revealed the majesty of the people who had inherited the family for a hundred years.
Wang Xi concisely told Wang Chen what happened in Dajue Temple in a few words.
Dr. Feng added some things that he knew.
Wang Chen listened carefully, waited for the two of them to finish, pondered for a moment, and then asked Wang Xi: "Do you mean to say that Chen Luo can be handed over?" ”
Wang Xi nodded and asked Wang Chen, "Do you need it?" ”
"Not yet!" is to refuse, Wang Chen also said like a spring breeze to make people feel comfortable, "Chen Luo's position is too dangerous, we don't know who he will stand?" Until the new emperor is confirmed, our family should not stand in line. And we don't have to get involved. ”
In the last sentence, he said it extremely proudly.
The efforts of several generations have given Wang Chen the capital to say such things.
