Chapter 622: Sowing Discord
Hu Xianxian thought about things, and before he moved, Wang Shuai didn't leave.
After Yun Biser spoke, a servant woman hurriedly ran out of the kitchen and cleaned up in the dining room with her hands and feet.
Hu Xianxian saw that the servant woman was familiar, so he stared at her a few more times. When the servant woman went out with her things, she noticed that Hu Xianxian was looking at her, so she raised her eyes to look back at Hu Xianxian.
After a few glances, she shouted in surprise: "You...... Are you the Gu family's fairy aunt? Hey, I didn't expect to meet you here! ”
Hu Xianxian was stunned, and the servant woman said again: "I am a dumpling, and I used to be a maid in the Gu family." You let me and Da Ku leave the Gu family, and we'll be here......"
Hearing these words, Hu Xianxian remembered that when the Gu family was making trouble in the capital, he had asked the big rough and the little maid to leave.
Seeing that Tuanzi was full of smiles between his eyebrows when he mentioned Da Bu, Hu Xianxian knew that they should have married and should be doing well.
When the two greeted each other, Hu Xianxian caught a glimpse of Yun Bise's angry face, so he motioned for Tuanzi to go and do something, and she also turned around and followed Wang Shuai to the main hall.
Hu Xianxian was secretly fortunate to have a coincidence, and after meeting Tuanzi, it was much more convenient to inquire about the little girl.
Wang Shuai didn't know that she was secretly thinking about these things, so he accompanied her to drink tea in the main hall and chat at the same time.
He said that Hu Xianxian's injury by the iron talisman was all a misunderstanding, and he really didn't know that he was going to use it against her. He also said that he had wanted to apologize to her in person for a long time, but after coming to his brother to pay New Year's greetings, he encountered a rebellion of the vassal king, and his brother did not let him go out.
Hu Xianxian didn't answer, just smiled and sipped tea. Wang Shuai thought that she didn't believe in her guilt, and eagerly swore an oath to prove her sincerity.
"Second Young Master Wang doesn't have to be like this, being injured by the iron talisman is my destiny, and I have never resented you because of this." Hu Xianxian was looking for something perfunctory, she heard the sound of conversation in the place between the two rooms, guessing that Wang Kui was talking to others, and wanted to listen to what they were talking about.
Her indifferent attitude made Wang Shuai unable to find anything to say, so he had to drink tea silently. Hu Xianxian was able to quietly concentrate on using his aura, and looked through the wall to see what Wang Kui was discussing.
Judging from the position of the guest and host on the seat, a person dressed in a black robe with a square face and a short beard should be Wang Kui.
Listening carefully to what they were talking about, the visitors actually asked Wang Kui to help them forge weapons, and those visitors were Han Zecan's people.
At the end of the day, Wang Kui finally finished talking about things and sent the guests out. Hu Xianxian analyzed the situation from what he heard, Wang Kui already knew that he was coming, and guessed his intention, so the answer to Han Zecan's subordinates was vague. Probably he wanted to compare the two and choose the best.
"Concubine Hu has been waiting for a long time, please forgive Wang for the sin of negligence." Wang Kui walked into the main hall with a smile and bowed to Hu Xianxian, "I heard that the next person said that Hu Tianfei came to the cold house, Wang couldn't help but be overjoyed, but unfortunately he was talking to the guests and it was inconvenient to come." ”
Hu Xianxian stood up, smiled and returned the salute, but did not answer. However, Wang Shuai said a long list of words on her behalf, and said that it would be okay to come back to meet after the discussion.
"Well, it's the same with my second brother. Concubine Hu doesn't know, my second brother is usually silent, and it's rare for him to talk speculatively with you. Wang Kui was also a little embarrassed by Wang Shuai's overly enthusiastic behavior.
Hearing his brother say this, Wang Shuai smiled, stopped chattering and gossiping, and said to Hu Xianxian: "Do you have anything to discuss with my eldest brother, and please say it directly, I won't interrupt." ”
"The purpose of my trip is the same as that of the anti-king Han Zecan, I don't know which side Wang Zhuanggong is parting?"
Hu Xianxian's tone was light, and he raised his eyes to look directly at Wang Kui.
"Concubine Hu Tianfei said with a smile, I, the people of Qiyun Villa, are all loyal to the monarch and patriotic, how can I meet with those who oppose the king?"
Wang Kui met Hu Xianxian's gaze and looked at her, at first glance his gaze was frank and calm, and only after a closer look could he see the yin owl at the bottom of his eyes.
Hu Xianxian didn't argue with him, and turned to look at the furnishings in this hall. The utensils in the hall are all inlaid with gold and jade, but they only look luxurious and elegant, without half a bit of gaudy and exaggerated atmosphere.
According to these furnishings, the Yun family is worthy of being a family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and no amount of gold and silver can be piled up.
The rich and noble people used all kinds of expensive utensils, not only to show off, but also to secretly help their own prestige, so that opponents who were not of the same level did not need to fight, and they were discouraged first.
Seeing her look at those utensils closely, Wang Kui's face showed a proud expression, "Concubine Hu likes these crude things of mine?" Another day, I'll have someone choose the same furniture and send it to your house. ”
"Okay, if the fairy likes it, I'll do it." Wang Shuai happily answered.
Hu Xianxian knew that Wang Kui was ironic that he had never seen the world, and Wang Shuai was almost in the airport suit. She has indeed not seen many valuable things, and it is inevitable that she will feel uncomfortable and even inferior on such occasions, but she has found a little experience in dealing with these things.
Her experience is that when you see a luxurious scene and can't put on a corresponding pomp, don't show your timidity. You should ignore the foreign minister, think about what methods you can use, and talk about things to the point.
Therefore, the purpose of her reading these things is to learn more about Qiyun Villa, and to find some small faults to hit Wang Kui's confidence, rather than being really interested in artifacts.
"Thank you, I've been running around all the time and don't need these beautiful objects. I wonder if it is convenient for Wang Zhuanggong? I'd like you to show me around. ”
Hu Xianxian's request, Wang Kui was still thinking about it, Wang Shuai had already agreed one after another, and he raised his feet to go out first, ready to lead the way.
Hu Xianxian followed them in the main courtyard where the main hall was located, looking from room to room, and when they arrived at the door of the room where Wang Kui had talked to people before, the two maids were still collecting teacups and wiping the table.
Hu Xianxian stepped into the house with a smile, pointed to the wooden carved screen in the back and said: "This screen is really ingenious, carving the scene of colorful phoenixes flying and hundreds of birds coming to the court vividly. ”
Hearing her praise, Wang Shuai smiled and introduced: "This is a congratulatory gift from King Chengjun on my eldest brother's birthday three years ago......"
Wang Kui stared at Wang Shuai coldly, only then did he realize that he was speechless, and looked at Hu Xianxian.
"Three years ago, Han Zecan was still the extremely loyal King of Chengjun, and there was nothing wrong with you accepting his gifts at that time." Hu Xianxian comforted him gently, and Wang Shuai breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Xianxian secretly thought that there was a gift from Han Zecan in this room, and Wang Kui met Han Zecan's subordinates in this room, indicating that their relationship was still very close. Well, if you don't promise to make weapons for them today, it doesn't mean that you won't in the future.
In order to make Qiyun Villa completely biased towards the side of the imperial court, Hu Xianxian came up with a small plan to persuade Wang Kui.
She caressed the carved wooden screen, sighed in admiration, and suddenly shook her hand and sighed twice.
Wang Shuai hurriedly asked her what she sighed, and she said in a low voice: "The materials of this screen are first-class, and the carving skills are first-class, but it is a pity that it is a wrong utensil." “
"Utensils are only good and bad, but can they also be divided into right and wrong? Is there a crack somewhere? Wang Shuai was very puzzled, and Wang Kui looked at her puzzled.
"It's not damaged, this screen is really wrong. You see, this phoenix crown is a small triangular crown, which is clearly a peacock crown type. A hundred birds are facing the phoenix, not the peacock, this pattern is wrong. ”
The brothers looked at each other in astonishment, looking closely at the crested head that had been carved. Sure enough, the bright red phoenix crown was an oblique triangular flesh crown, not a cirrus crown, and it was also smaller than the phoenix crown with the common phoenix pattern.
Wang Kui swallowed his saliva, and said in a dry voice: "The phoenix is a legendary divine bird, no one has ever seen it, maybe when the craftsman who carved this screen learned the craft, he learned the formula like this?" ”
"We haven't seen a real phoenix, but no matter how different the feathers, claws, and body shapes of the patterns circulated in the mortal world, the phoenix crown is the same, how can there be this?"
Wang Shuai echoed: "Yes, we haven't looked at the pattern carefully. When you say this, you think that the more you look at it, the more it looks like a cockscomb, and it is not even a peacock. ”
Wang Kui's face was already dark, and when he heard this, it was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Actually, it's not the craftsman's fault, the craftsman who carvers so well will never make such a low-level mistake, someone should have instructed them to carve like this. The person who gave the gift must be the person who gave the gift, what is Han Zecan's intention, Wang Zhuanggong won't be able to guess it, right? ”
She analyzed the matter, and the yin and yang weirdness provoked the relationship between Wang Kui and Han Zecan. But he secretly said in his heart: Han Zecan, don't blame me for letting you carry the black cauldron, I used spiritual power to change the shape of the phoenix crown It was also an idea that I came up with after racking my brains, who let me meet you and send someone to Qiyun Villa?
Wang Kui's brows tightened, he really couldn't remember what the phoenix crown on this screen looked like, because there were too many utensils in the house, and he had never looked at the pattern carefully.
"There is no crown on the head, and no matter how gorgeous the feathers are, they are just imaginary, and they can only be good-looking, not as a status symbol." Hu Xianxian is still fanning the flames.
"I can't imagine that they would pretend to respect my eldest brother and secretly sarcastically mock my eldest brother! This phoenix crown is so carved, it clearly means that my eldest brother only has a phoenix tail and no phoenix, and he looks at the scenery on the surface, but he can't actually be the master! Wang Shuai was self-righteous and added fuel to the vinegar.
When Hu Xianxian heard his words, she really wanted to jump up with joy, because she just wanted to show that Han Zecan was disrespectful to Wang Kui, and she didn't think so deeply at all, this Wang Shuai's words were directly poking at Wang Kui's sore spots!
"Second brother! Second brother...... "Wang Kui let out a low voice, and the anger in his eyes was about to erupt.
Wang Kui went to Qiyun Villa, listened to a lot of gossip, and had already accumulated a lot of resentment about this matter. If it weren't for Hu Xianxian in front of him, he really wanted to slap Wang Shuai twice.
Hu Xianxian knew that at this time, for Wang Kui, no matter what the truth was, he was no longer willing to delve into it, he just wanted to get rid of the current situation, that was the fundamental way for people to no longer laugh at him.
Hu Xianxian was afraid that his brothers would really make trouble, so he smiled and said: "It's me who is too talkative, maybe the truth is not so complicated at all, maybe the craftsman who carved this screen is not from the Central Plains and does not understand the culture of the Central Plains." The night was already dark, so I didn't disturb Wang Zhuanggong and Wang Ershao to rest. Well, where is my room? ”
Although Wang Kui's skill is much lower than that of Hu Xianxian, she can't see that the pattern is funny, but she also intuitively feels that she is deliberately stirring up trouble.
He didn't answer the question first, but asked Hu Xianxian with the method of transmitting sound into the secret: "What does Concubine Hu Tianfei want to sow discord?" ”
"I have no intentions, but you do. You are trying to use external forces to suppress the Yun family, so you can control Qiyun Villa. Hu Xianxian also replied with the method of transmitting sound into the secret, and directly told his thoughts.
"What the hell do you know?" Wang Kui's expression flashed with fierceness.
"I don't know anything, I just know that I want to see Master Yunzhuang. As for whether you can see it or not, it depends on how you arrange it. Hu Xianxian raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Wang Shuai didn't know what was going on when they looked at each other, their expressions were uncertain, and he said three times that he took Hu Xianxian to the guest room, and Wang Kui came back to his senses.
"Second brother, let's stay, it's inconvenient for you to send Concubine Hu Tianfei to the guest room, call a little maid to send her there." Wang Kui's tone was a little stern, and Wang Shuai had to listen to him.
Hu Xianxian followed the little maid and left, she knew that it was inconvenient for Wang Shuai to send her to the guest room, and she knew that she wanted to avoid suspicion and show Yun Bise, and the two brothers wanted to say something private.
