Chapter 752: Temptation
The prefect was the first to enter the door, Liu Ting glanced at Su Wanqing, and then at Liu Yong, who was still standing in place, flicked her sleeves, and followed the prefect into the door.
When Su Wanqing passed by Liu Yong, she said with a friendly face: "Young Master Liu Yong, seeing that the injury on your face is still a little serious, I advise you to find a doctor as soon as possible to deal with it." Otherwise, if something really happens, your sister will definitely be very heartbroken. ”
Liu Ting, who was walking in front, paused, then stopped, turned around, and squeezed out a shallow smile at Su Wanqing.
"Mrs. Pei is right, Ah Yong, your injury should not be delayed any longer, hurry up and call a doctor to deal with it. Otherwise, how do you make your sister worthy of her dead parents? ”
Seeing Liu Ting talking and talking, a trace of tears welled up in her eyes, and there was a tendency for the rain to pour down if she continued to speak, the prefect in front of her suddenly grabbed her hand and coaxed: "Okay Ting'er, Lord Ben has already ordered the people below to ask for a doctor, I believe that the doctor will come soon, you, don't worry about it, Ah Yong will be fine." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Yong.
Liu Yong stood in place, immediately nodded like pounding garlic, and didn't care about the pain of the wound on his face, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Prefect is right, sister, don't worry, Ah Yong has nothing to do, anyway, the doctor will be here soon, you don't have to worry, Ah Yong will be fine." ”
Liu Ting glanced at the prefect with some suspicion, and then at Liu Yong, who was standing straight, didn't say anything, and turned around and entered the room.
Su Wanqing looked at the prefect, and there was a hint of relaxation in her eyes.
She couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart, she originally thought that this Liu Ting was nothing special, but she didn't expect this nonsense to be able to learn home. Even the prefect has a trace of fear of Liu Ting's appearance in his heart, so it seems that Liu Ting is not completely useless.
At least, she did have a way to hold the prefect tightly in the palm of her hand.
Presumably this is why, for so many years, there have been no other newcomers in this prefect.
In this regard, Liu Ting is indeed very smart.
Su Wanqing and several people followed behind the prefect and entered the prefect's meeting room.
I was outside the door, and I couldn't see the scene inside, but now when I came in, I found that there were many rooms inside the door, and each room looked different from the outside, very chic, inlaid with golden scales, and the sun shone down, emitting a flashing light.
A straight road stretches out, surrounded by rooms.
Su Wanqing secretly observed that the annex of the prefect looked like it was indeed gorgeously built, and the layout was like a modern courtyard house, but it was probably several times larger than the courtyard house.
The area of this prefect alone is already very large. Su Wanqing made a rough count, this prefect is really rich, and he can build such a luxurious room, but on the surface, there is no mountain dew at all, and there must be a lot of efforts behind it.
The prefect obviously thought that a few of them were strangers and had never seen much of the world themselves. What's more, the clothes on several people were ordinary and gray, and they couldn't tell what kind of material they were made of. Anyway, he'd seen so many high-quality materials, none of which looked like them.
From this point of view, these people are indeed from a small place.
Since this is the case, the prefect is not worried at all, and Su Wanqing and a few people can see that he is very wealthy. Anyway, they are not locals, at most they do business here and earn some silver.
They chose to come to him, which in itself also shows that they trust him, the prefect, as long as these people are good and don't give him any moths, he will naturally not make a move on these people.
Who is at odds with money? At least not the prefect.
When I arrived at the reception room, there were several tables and chairs made of mahogany on display, and there were calligraphy and paintings of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing on the wall, and the names below were named. Su Wanqing glanced at it casually, maybe it was from a famous person here.
Several small plates of delicate snacks were already on the table, and next to it was a silver kettle with a faint glow, billowing green smoke. The fragrance of tea overflowed from the silver kettle, and everyone who smelled it had a feeling of relaxation and joy.
Although Su Wanqing doesn't know much about tea, this tea has a strong aroma and overflowing aroma, which is naturally not comparable to ordinary tea.
As soon as they sat down, the waiting servant immediately stepped forward, carefully picked up the silver kettle, poured the tea from the silver kettle into several white jade cups, and placed them in front of them.
The tea is pale green throughout, and the closer you get to, the stronger the aroma becomes. Su Wanqing moved her nose, took a breath, and couldn't help but praise and said, "It's really good tea." ”
The prefect on the side also raised the teacup, took a sip gently, and when he heard this, he narrowed his eyes and showed a smile and said, "Oh? I didn't expect Mrs. Pei to understand tea? ”
Su Wanqing showed a somewhat embarrassed smile and said: "The prefect misunderstood, the little woman doesn't know how to taste tea, but this tea smells fragrant, ordinary tea will not have such a fragrance at all, not to mention that this is the prefect again, the little woman thinks that the prefect must be a person who understands tea, so he has such taste." ”
Su Wanqing's words were ironed in the heart of the Lord Fu. Although this Mrs. Pei looked a little sharp-toothed in front of her, she did enter her heart when she said this.
"Mrs. Pei is worthy of being a businessman, and when she says this, it is really heart-warming." The prefect touched the short beard at the corner of his mouth, and smiled on his face.
If his face is a little rounder and his expression is softer, he will look similar to Maitreya Buddha. However, this prefect only has the light of calculation in his eyes, where is the Maitreya Buddha to please?
Su Wanqing's face was neither humble nor arrogant.
"The prefect praised it falsely."
After taking a few sips of tea, the prefect looked at a few people beside Su Wanqing and said, "These are all friends of Mrs. Pei, right?" Did you also follow Mrs. Pei to do business here? Since they have come from afar, they are all guests of this lord, and I would like to invite a few people to come here without restraint and taste this tea, which is brewed from the best red robe. ”
Yi Zhao and the others nodded at the prefect, thanked him in a low voice, and then picked up the teacup in his hand, but his expression was not shocked.
The prefect originally thought that these people had come with Su Wanqing, and they must have never seen much of the world, but Su Wanqing was probably a businessman, more well-informed, and there would be no crampedness. But the few people behind her may not be.
But what he didn't expect was that after saying such a thing, there was no expression on the faces of these people, and they were not afraid of life, they drank the teacup as soon as they picked it up.
If you look closely, you will find that the tea of several of them is actually just a layman.
The prefect has a lot of thoughts, so he will naturally observe these people more. After all, although Su Wanqing said that she was here to do business, he didn't know if it was true or not?
Her words were very beautiful, and I was really comfortable listening to them. But the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, not to mention, people like the prefect will not easily trust a person.
Therefore, although the prefect does not speak much, he has actually been secretly paying attention to the movements of several people.
At this moment, I found that their movements were actually very natural, and they didn't seem to be deliberately made, but completely laymen, and the prefect lowered his eyes slightly, and he was secretly relieved in his heart.
Su Wanqing looked at the relaxation that flashed in the prefect's eyes, and secretly laughed.
Yi Zhao and a few of them, naturally they don't really don't know how to taste tea. It's just that all this was deliberately done by them to show the prefect. How could Su Wanqing not know that the prefect would not easily believe them at all.
Although he seems gentle and friendly on the surface, and he also has a posture of being useful and convinced of what he says, Su Wanqing knows that the more such a person is, the easier it is to be suspicious in his heart.
If the prefect is a gentle person, then when Liu Yong knocked on the door, he would not have kicked him out. Later, the prefect tried his best to cover up this matter, but in Su Wanqing's opinion, that time was his truest state.
The rest, especially the gesture of welcoming them, is probably just a show.
The prefect didn't know what Su Wanqing was thinking, he took a sip of tea, and said as if unintentionally: "Mrs. Pei and a few people came from afar, there must be a lot of inconvenience on the way, right?" ”
Su Wanqing retracted her thoughts and said with a smile: "A few of us came by carriage, although it was indeed a bit tiring along the way, but the scenery along the way was just right, and after seeing the good scenery along the way, it reduced a lot of hardships of the journey. ”
The prefect touched his mustache again, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not Lord Ben who brags, although our city is far away from other countries and the terrain is relatively remote, but the scenery here is indeed excellent." There are mountains and rivers, trees and forests around, rich resources, and many small animals, which are indeed not comparable to other countries. ”
When the prefect said this, there was a trace of pride in his eyes that was difficult to hide. Clearly, he was proud of their city.
Su Wanqing nodded, which could be regarded as an endorsement of his words.
After being quiet for a while, the prefect asked casually, "By the way, I don't know what business Mrs. Pei plans to do here?" Oh, Lord Ben doesn't mean anything else, I just want to understand, you are from afar, Lord Ben is now a landlord, if Mrs. Pei needs help, just tell Lord Ben. If I can help, I can't deny it. ”
Su Wanqing and Pei Xiu glanced at each other, and then Su Wanqing's face became a little more embarrassed.
"This ......"
