Chapter 25: Rising Star
That's good? Lin Xiyan's simple three words made Xiao Ming feel a little dizzy.
According to common sense, Lin Xiyan should be looking forward to it, and even a little eager for Young Master Wu to come.
For some reason, the current Lin Xiyan gives people the feeling that they don't care about Young Master Wu, and they don't even bother to look at him with their eyes.
The young master Wu in Xiao Ming's mouth, his full name is Wu Chaoqing, if he compares with Lin Xiyan, his status may not be much worse.
In addition to the noble status of the imperial city, if you continue to rank down, it will be the four major mansions of Ni Kingdom.
The so-called four major mansions, in addition to the Guanjin Mansion, Elegy Mansion, and Wushen Mansion mentioned earlier, the remaining one is Niepang Mansion.
As a business family, Guanjin Mansion has an entire economic chain that runs through most of the land of Ni Kingdom, so naturally everyone has heard of it.
As the patriarch of the Ni Kingdom, whether it is the history of the city or the famous mansion, it is enough to make the people of the entire Ni Kingdom feel awe.
As the core of generals, Wushen Mansion has cultivated countless military talents, and it is all over the Yamen armies of Ni State.
As a poison base, although Nepang Mansion is a rising star, they refine poison and make poison, and it is scary to use poison to assassinate to death.
If you mention Niepang Mansion, you will definitely not be able to avoid the Wu Young Master Wu Chaoqing in Xiao Ming's mouth.
Wu Chaoqing is the eldest young master in the Niepang Mansion, and he is the only son of the Niepang Mansion, and there is no other young master and lady in the Niepang Mansion except for him.
Wu Chaoqing is young, but he is already a veteran in refining or making drugs, and practice makes perfect.
has a good face, is handsome and chic, and has everyone's demeanor in conversation.
Whether it is someone who has only had a relationship with Wu Chaoqing once, or someone who has been in contact with him for a short time, when they have not understood his essence, they all feel that he is gentle and elegant, very sincere, honest and kind.
But after all, most people only believe in first impressions, and only by understanding a person deeply can we know his true appearance.
Lin Xiyan is the latter, and her understanding of Wu Chaoqing for so long has made her understand that Wu Chaoqing's danger factor is not low.
Wu Chaoqing has shown a very good understanding of drugs since he was a child, but he is not like other people, he just wants to be a doctor who rejuvenates with wonderful hands.
Until an accident, Wu Chaoqing was stung by a poisonous scorpion, and the poison seeped into the body.
But Wu Chaoqing didn't care about the pain, but instead poisoned the stinging nerves, making him feel a burst of comfort and stimulation, and it was out of control from then on.
It can be said that Nepang Mansion has gone from an ordinary big family at that time to a status that can now stand shoulder to shoulder with the other three mansions, and Wu Chaoqing is an important person.
Wu Chaoqing relied on his understanding of poisons to refine higher and more mysterious poisons, dip them into hidden weapons, and combine the two into one.
The poison was sold to various mysterious buyers with unknown backgrounds, and was used to kill people and get bounties.
This is also an important reason why the Nepong Mansion is becoming more and more famous and powerful step by step.
Even later, Wu Chaoqing's manufacture of poison weapons was known to everyone, but no one dared to stop it.
Wu Chaoqing's poison toxicity has also shifted from experimenting on animals to experimenting on humans.
Wu Chaoqing found fault with those who did not know each other for no reason, and then convicted, and in the end, those innocent people became live targets for drug testing.
There is no paper that can wrap the fire, and these things are slowly becoming known.
It can be known that it does not mean that there is any problem that can be solved, and the poison of several poisons refined by Wu Chaoqing has not been relieved by doctors.
Since then, Nepong has ceased to be just a big province, it has become a prestigious province that qualifies for being tied with the other three provinces.
And the consequence of this situation is that the other three prefectures have to give it a little bit of thin noodles.
Although the strength of the four provinces is enough to compete, it is better not to cause any disputes in peacetime.
With the passage of time, the study of poison toxicity has become larger and larger, and the refining of poisons has become more and more in-depth.
In this way, Wu Chaoqing's Niepang Mansion gradually became a knife erected in front of the other three mansions.
More often, Wu Chaoqing is synonymous with fear and death in the eyes of people, they are afraid of him and can only avoid him.
Wu Chaoqing is very willing to sell poison weapons and lend knives to others to kill people, and he will not take the lives of those who are killed too important.
On the contrary, if they were poisoned by their own poison and then died violently, or even the process was very painful, these would make Wu Chaoqing feel refreshed.
It doesn't matter how many people are killed, it doesn't matter how many families are destroyed, and the life and death of others are not in sight.
All of this, behind the fatality of the poison, is considered by Wu Chaoqing to prove his supreme talent, to be affirmed by the world, and the process that must be experienced.
In fact, Wu Chaoqing is more like a cold-blooded killer, and in his eyes, the importance of poison weapons is self-evident.
To sum up, it is all Wu Chaoqing that Lin Xiyan has been able to understand over the years.
Wu Chaoqing is like a fan, even if Lin Xiyan wants to figure it out, it is difficult to see his true face and what it is like.
But after Wu Chaoqing showed her love to Lin Xiyan, for Lin Xiyan, they became unimportant.
The first meeting between Wu Chaoqing and Lin Xiyan was love at first sight and wishful thinking.
And the two are also considered to be the right family, and over time, it is very normal to come together and meet each other's parents.
Wu Chaoqing likes Lin Xiyan's confidence and straightforwardness, and Lin Xiyan enjoys Wu Chaoqing's preference for her alone.
Maybe love has some blind eyes, because she likes it, so Lin Xiyan ignored these characteristics of Wu Chaoqing.
In Lin Xiyan's eyes, Wu Chaoqing is more like a boy from an ordinary family, they are happy with each other and are ready to make a private decision for life.
Lin Xiyan even thought about how happy and happy the two of them would live after they got married.
As long as Guanjin Mansion can marry with Nie Pang Mansion, become an in-law family, and become a family, even if Ni Kingdom is an imperial city, it will be respected for three points.
At this time, Lin Xiyan's satisfied smile had disappeared from his face.
Full of lazy tiredness, Lin Xiyan didn't particularly want to care about this matter, something that would definitely happen.
Regarding Wu Chaoqing being locked outside the gate of Guanjin Mansion, this is already an established fact.
After all, this is Guanjin Mansion, not Niepang Mansion. This is Lin Xiyan's territory, and everything still has to be under his command.
But since Wu Chaoqing is here, since he comes, he will be safe.
Although Lin Xiyan and Wu Chaoqing must have come to seek reconciliation, she also understands Wu Chaoqing's temper.
Machismo, as long as you think you have done nothing wrong, then you must not have done anything wrong.
That's why Wu Chaoqing didn't come for so long this time, maybe he figured it out.
Lin Xiyan was still thinking about what she had to show when Wu Chaoqing came this time, so that Wu Chaoqing could feel that she didn't have to be him.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiyan thought of a sentence, know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles. Only before meeting can you know what state Wu Chaoqing is in, and you can deal with it well.
Lin Xiyan looked at Xiao Ming standing in front of him, even if he didn't speak, he was still alive. It just so happens that you can know it through Xiao Ming.
Lin Xiyan sat up slightly straighter, with a smile on his face, and asked Xiao Ming.
"So, Xiao Ming, tell me what he looks like outside now?"
This question was completely unexpected by Xiao Ming, she didn't expect Lin Xiyan to ask herself like this.
Xiao Ming didn't know how to answer, she didn't have much eye contact with Wu Chaoqing just now.
If Wu Chaoqing's expression is serious, it is not like it, at least he smiled at himself.
But he just smiled, without any expression of joy or expectation.
In this way, then he is really calm, and compared with Lin Xiyan, Wu Chaoqing is not afraid of waiting.
But why is Wu Chaoqing so calm? Could it be that there is something important to tell Lin Xiyan?
Xiao Ming guessed boldly, but he couldn't tell Lin Xiyan his guess directly, it was too risky.
But at the same time, Xiao Ming thought that he couldn't use a particularly flat tone to tell Lin Xiyan about Wu Chaoqing's performance. Although the two of them have been separated for a few days, they are relatively calm, but it does not mean that they will not quarrel again.
When Wu Chaoqing was outside the door, he also gave her a look, it seems that he has to make up this sentence on the spot.
Xiao Ming's eyes rolled, and Lin Xiyan still looked at him with some expectation, presumably expecting his words.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming couldn't help but take another step forward, and got closer to Lin Xiyan, and his voice was a little louder than just now.
"Miss, Young Master Wu is standing at the door of Guanjin Mansion, although he did not clash with the two guards, but I looked at his face with an anxious look."
Anxious looks? These words made Lin Xiyan feel a little surprised.
Lin Xiyan was no longer as cold as just now, but his face was full of suspicion.
Wu Chaoqing's anxiety is definitely not because of himself, the two quarreled before, and Wu Chaoqing didn't feel that he was wrong at all. When he shook his hand and left, he walked so righteously.
But it was his fault, he was just expecting some progress in the relationship between the two, so he directly refused. As soon as Lin Xiyan thought of this, she was not angry, but when she was still struggling with right and wrong, Xiao Ming gave Wu Chaoqing gold again.
"Miss, did you say that Young Master Wu, would you want to enter our Guanjin Mansion as soon as possible and apologize to you?"
"How is it possible, I don't know him yet? As long as he is in a little urgency, it will all show on his face. If he was really in a hurry to apologize to me, why didn't he come a few days ago? Somehow, I must have run into some trouble again, and I am coming to help me. ”
After all, Nepong Mansion is just a rising star, and its hard power, soft power and word-of-mouth reputation are still too weak compared to the other three prefectures.
Although it was previously known as a knife erected in front of the other three mansions, after all, the other three mansions were all sharp swords.
Not to mention that Ni Guo is already surging with undercurrents, and the unknown mysterious characters lurking in it, and the dangers hidden in the night are countless.
Before Lin Xiyan and Wu Chaoqing got married, and before the two mansions got married, they were just cooperative relations.
The Guanjin Mansion is rich and rich, and the Nirpang Mansion has countless poisonous weapons, and there are no eternal allies, only eternal interests.
The old lady of Guanjin Mansion didn't take Nepang Mansion in her eyes. In the entire Ni Kingdom, it is not only the Nipang Mansion that makes hidden weapons and poisons, but many small shops are hiding big people. But after all, one more friend is definitely better than one more enemy.
The relationship between the two mansions is also interspersed with the relationship between Lin Xiyan and Wu Chaoqing, so the Guanjin Mansion always takes more care of the Niepang Mansion.
