Wen Heng's courtyard is located in the south of Chuzhou City, not far from Daofeng Nian.
The two of them came back from a round of horses, and the time was just right.
Chang Qianfo jumped off the horse and stretched out his hand to pick up Mu Dian Ke to come down. He stood under the horse, looked up at her, his arms were open, the tender smile on his face made Mu Dianke blush slightly, but his heart was warm, and he replied with an equally enthusiastic smile, his eyes bent into two small crescents.
Chang Qianfo likes to see her smile like this, without distractions, like a child.
His arm was wrapped around her waist, careful not to get involved in the wound on her back. Nephrite was warm and fragrant in his arms, and he was a little reluctant to let go.
Mu Dianke hated him: "If you don't let it go, let people see it." β
Standing at the gate of other houses, Chang Qianfo can't do it even if he has a rogue heart, he smiled and let go, and was about to step forward to call the door, when he heard a "squeak", and the door of the vermilion lacquer copper nail opened by itself.
An old man of about fifty or sixty years old stood behind the door, wearing a silk robe, with gray hair and a bearing of Xu Ning, smiling and telling himself to Chang Qianfo.
But it was the old steward next to Wen Heng, also surnamed Wen.
Chang Qianfo raised his hand and made a junior salute: "There is Lao Wen in charge of things for a long time." β
"It doesn't matter." The old man said with a smile. The attitude is modest, without the usual arrogance of the servants of the Shi family, and it is not flattering: "Chang Gongzi, and this young lady, please inside." β
The whole body looks not like a house slave, but more like a nobleman with a prominent status.
Since the fall of the Great Yang Dynasty, soldiers and horses from all over the country have risen to compete with each other, and the situation has created a large number of talented and ambitious heroes. Helplessly, although there are many heroes, there are no heroes, resulting in years of war and chaos, and no one will let anyone.
In the chaos of nearly 200 years of civil strife, I don't know how many regimes were established briefly and then collapsed in an instant. The yellow robe is added, and there are so many people who are called emperors and emperors that they can't even call their names.
The sense of imperial power is gradually weakening in people's hearts, but those families who have been precipitated for hundreds of years and have deep roots have a higher reputation.
Sima Taizu of the previous dynasty was a generation of heroes, and when he asked the Langya Wang family to marry on behalf of his prince, he was refused.
The honor of the scholars can be seen.
The Sima clan has not been honored for three generations.
In the last years of the Hong Dynasty, the monarch was deaf, the power was scattered, the civil war continued, and the border troubles broke out. The last emperor was confined to the palace by the Liu family, and died of a serious illness of unknown origin three years later, and the Sima regime fell.
After the Liu family became emperor, he continued to uphold the ideas of the previous dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country, and suppressed the power of the family as much as possible. Such as Langya Wang's family, Jingyang Le's family, and Qian Guoheng's family, their strength and prestige are not as good as before.
The royal family wants to suppress people, but also to use people.
A new group of nobles was born. The four surnames of Jiankang, Fang Rong Suning, came into being in this situation and quickly reached its peak.
Although the Wen family is an old-time family, because the age of the rise is not long, the background is far less profound than that of Wang Leheng's three families, but they escaped the catastrophe. Through the marriage with the imperial family, he preserved his position in the new dynasty.
The Wen family lives by the water, divided into two tribes, the north and the south. Wen Changying, the patriarch of the Northern Clan, was an official in the court, and was committed to bringing the children of the clan in and out of the court, holding the big tree of the Liu family.
Wen Heng, as the head of the Southern Clan, was not keen on Zhishi, but had close contacts with various local forces, focusing on cultivating land and doing business, and was called "vulgar" by the old and new scholars.
These are all things that Chang Qianfo said to Mu Dian to hear.
Mu Dianke smiled disappreciatively when he heard this: "I think this Wen Heng is a very understanding person." In the troubled times, the imperial power is the most unstable, and the court battles also have ups and downs, so the royal relationship can be maintained, and there is no need to cling.
Moreover, the confidence of the scholar clan comes from its heritage and accumulation, and its connections and financial resources are its roots, and the roots are not firmly rooted and deep, and no matter how lush the branches and leaves are, it is in vain. β
Mu Dian can kill for a long time, and he doesn't care about the power games of the high-ranking people, and he can see the key points after listening to Chang Qianfo once, which really surprises Chang Qianfo.
"Dian Ke, what kind of treasure are you?" He smiled and sighed.
But he thought in his heart: He would rather she didn't have such knowledge, didn't have a talent, be happy, and live her life peacefully.
The two of them entered the door with the steward surnamed Wen, and along the way, the eaves overlapped, the partitions were exquisite, and the hooks hung on the ice silk, which was elegant and rich.
The steward, surnamed Wen, led the two to a cloister, where a maid with a beautiful face greeted them. The old man smiled: "The master is in front of the water pavilion, I won't accompany the two of you, please forgive me for the neglect." β
I guess there's something else.
Chang Qianfo said with a smile: "Where, it is an honor to have Lao Wen steward personally greet you." "Separate from each other.
Mu Dianke looked at the old man's back and said with emotion: "The stewards around this Wen family master have such manners, and I don't know how to be elegant. β
Chang Qianfo's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his tone was sour: "In front of me, you don't hesitate to praise a strange man, isn't that good?" β
Mu Dianke was slightly stunned, and quickly realized what the problem was.
glanced at the maid in front of him, slowed down his steps, leaned up to Chang Qianfo's ear, lowered his voice and said, "Wen Heng, isn't he a very old man?" β
She didn't want to use such disrespectful words as "old man". But Chang Qianfo's reaction told her very clearly that she had said the wrong thing.
She had to tell him that no matter how valuable and amazing this Wen Heng was, he was an old man in her eyes. Curiosity or even admiration for an old man means something completely different.
How could Chang Qianfo not see through her careful thoughts, seeing that she stretched her neck, cautious appearance, she didn't feel funny, and lowered her voice, bowed her head and bit her ear:
"No, Wen Heng is only in his thirties, his posture is outstanding, his elegance is very good, and he is very pleasing to women."
He deliberately bit the sentence "pleasing women", and Mu Dian was even more embarrassed when he heard it.
I knew that she would go to Xu Younan more often, and get more information from his mouth, so I wouldn't lose this person today.
That Wen steward is really, a middle-aged man in his thirties, why should he be called "master".
In an instant, Mu Dianke felt that he was no different from those girls who squatted at the door before dawn and waited for Fang Jun to go out, shouting "Fang Gongzi is really a heavenly figure", "Fang Gongzi, I admire you".
Of course, this is not the most important thing, at this time, it is important to appease Chang Qianfo first.
She raised her head and smiled sweetly, she could squeeze out honey in the laughter, and said in a soft voice: "However, I still think you are the best-looking, and all the men in the world are not as good-looking as you." β
She did think so, but when she thought about it, it seemed very sensy to say it.
Her face was flushed.
