Chapter 006: Rotten Wood Is Hard to Carve

The two of them hit the horse and arrived at Guangyuan Tea House, and after knocking on the door, the subordinates opened the door, and saw Wei Chengxuan bowing his head and saluting, "Lord Shizi." ”

Wei Chengxuan took Wei Chengye's horsewhip and threw it over with his own, "Go and prepare the compartment, I'll take my second brother to open my eyes." ”

Wei Chengyele's eyebrows smiled, patted Wei Chengxuan's back, and said, "It's still interesting for the eldest brother, I asked the boy of the Guo family to bring me here before, but he still refused." ”

"The young master of Hou Guo's family?" Wei Chengxuan led the way in front and asked casually.

"Well, the second child of the Guo family, Guo Xing, shows off in front of me all day long and says that he has been here, and today he will be exposed to the light of the eldest brother, and he will see what he will do in the future." Wei Chengye looked around and didn't notice anything special.

Just feeling disappointed, Wei Chengxuan in front of him turned into a room, Wei Chengye hurriedly followed, and when he entered the inner room, he froze, and sighed for a while, "No wonder Guo Xing reiterates three or four times every day, it's not an exaggeration to say that this place is a cave of ecstasy!" ”

Wei Chengxuan smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, sit." ”

Saying that, he sat down with his robe, and held a pot to make a cup of tea for Wei Chengye and handed it over.

Wei Chengye took the tea and looked around the inner room: the pitching pot that he often plays on weekdays, pai gow, as well as crystal chess and other delicate things from the West, in addition, there are many gnats and garts cages on display in the house.

Wei Chengye praised in his heart, but he was not convinced, "Just fool Guo Xing's second stunned man, if a big man comes, how can he be satisfied if he comes here to fight a gnat?" ”

Wei Chengxuan took a sip of tea, "Big shot? What big guys have been here? ”

Wei Chengye fiddled with the head of the grub cage and didn't look back, "Of course it's a big man like a big brother." ”

"Go further inside, there is a horse farm, there is a place to fight cocks and dogs, there is a natural hot spring when you are tired of playing, you can take a dip, relieve fatigue, if you still have energy, here can also prepare a personal service for you......"

"Got it!" Wei Chengye made a gesture to stop, "Big brother, don't say it, you know it so clearly, it's really an out-and-out,"

"What? Disgusted with your big brother? Wei Chengxuan's peach blossom eyes were dyed with a smile, and he refilled the hot water in Wei Chengye's cup.

"I don't dare." Wei Chengye leaned over with a smile, "But big brother, you should get married soon, I'm afraid it won't work if you continue to mess around like this." ”

Wei Chengye is fifteen years old this year, and he is protected by his mother Liao Shi like an eyeball, and his temperament is far less calm than Wei Chengxuan, but his nature is not bad, and he will persuade himself from time to time.

Wei Chengxuan picked up the teacup and drank it all, "Don't talk about this, there is a horse race today, if you want to see it, take it." As he spoke, he tossed a token and got up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Wei Chengye wanted to keep up.

Wei Chengxuan turned his head and smiled mysteriously, "If you don't want to go to see the horse race, follow me, and I'll take you to see good things that Guo Xing has never seen." ”

The hairs on Wei Chengye's back stood up, and he hurriedly jumped to the side, "No, no, I don't want to see it, I'm going to watch the horse race." After saying that, he ran away without a trace.

After Wei Chengxuan confirmed that the back of the other party's departure disappeared, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn face, turned back into the house, turned a jade cabbage placed on the Bogu shelf, the wall slowly turned, a secret door opened, Wei Chengxuan bent in, turned around and twisted another jade Ruyi, and the secret door closed quietly.

Inside the secret door is a small room, with a bookcase in the middle, and a middle-aged man with a pale face is reading things at the desk.

"Shizi, this is the record of this month's tea house exchanges." When the middle-aged man heard the noise, he raised his head and picked out a few notebooks from the messy table and handed them over.

Wei Chengxuan took it and flipped through a few pages, his expression became solemn, and he pointed to the top of the notebook and said, "Uncle Jiang, this is not a joke. ”

Uncle Jiang nodded, "I know, the relevant personnel have been arranged, and they can be used at any time, don't worry." ”

Wei Chengxuan nodded, quickly flipped through the remaining pages, and ordered, "The second brother is also here today, I guess he is suspicious, you should be careful in the future." ”

"I guarantee my life, and the matter here will not involve the son."

Wei Chengxuan is the actual controller of Guangyuan Tea House, this tea house was set up by Xia Mu, in order to collect information, Uncle Jiang is the housekeeper personally selected by Xia Mu, and he has been taking care of this place in an orderly manner, Wei Chengxuan is very satisfied.

"Also, Xia Mu has already checked the news, and it won't be long before you can see the old man, Uncle Jiang."

Uncle Jiang's expression, which had been as quiet as stagnant water, finally fluctuated, and his lips moved for a while before he bowed his waist and made a sound, "Xie Shizi bothered. ”

Wei Chengxuan helped Uncle Jiang in vain, "It's also for myself, let's talk about thanks, I'll go first." ”

"Shizi!" Uncle Jiang called out to Wei Chengxuan, "It's better for the prince to change his clothes and go safer." With a cough, a maid stepped forward with a new tuft of clothes.

In the racecourse, Wei Chengye watched with relish, and after a while, the game ended, although the bets were all lost, but the mood was not bad. Wei Chengye looked left and right, the design of the racecourse was very ingenious, the shed built on it was sheltered from the wind and rain, and the sunlight could penetrate through the stands on a sunny day. Sixteen lamps were lit in the room, and the candles that were about to burn out were replaced at any time, and even if there was no daylight, the shed was as bright as day.

The stands are divided into compartments of different sizes, each with a thick curtain to cover only a narrow space where you can see the stadium, and some of the compartments are placed with the kind of cylindrical mirrors that come from the West, so you don't have to get too close to see the stadium. Because of these settings, Wei Chengye couldn't see the other people in the venue, and after staying for so long, he didn't hear any sounds from the other compartments, it seemed that either there was no one or the people who came here were very cautious.

Wei Chengye remembered that when the attendant invited him to place a bet with a wooden plate, there was a thick stack of silver tickets on the plate, and the face value was not small, and a silver ticket of five hundred taels was not abrupt when thrown in. I don't know how many silver tickets can be lost after staying at this horse farm for a day.

Wei Chengye locked his eyebrows, and when he was about to leave, his shoulder was pressed from behind and sat back in place.

"Lost all the silver tickets?" It's the voice of the big brother.

Wei Chengye nodded, stretched, and played with the diorama in his hand, "But it's also an eye-opener, there is still this kind of long mirror here." ”

"It's called a telescope." Wei Chengxuan took the delicate copper cylinder, opened it and swept it around the venue, "Let's go, go home." ”

"Big brother...... Are you really going to ......" Wei Chengye saw Wei Chengxuan change his clothes, and when he got closer, he smelled the smell of sweet fat powder.

The unfinished smile on Wei Chengxuan's face made Wei Chengye close his eyes helplessly,

"What? Haven't I gotten married yet? ”

"You really are, rotten wood can't be carved!" Wei Chengye opened his eyes and did not hide the anger and disappointment on his face.

Since childhood, the eldest brother has been extremely measured, even if it is rumored in the capital that the eldest brother is an unreliable prodigal son, he has always believed in him, but what he saw and heard today made Wei Chengye completely speechless.

"Don't forget, you are the son of the Anping Palace, the nephew of the current saint, and the royal family, fooling around in this kind of place all day long, aren't you afraid that your mother will know and be sad, and your father will take away your position as the son of the world in a fit of anger?" Wei Chengye couldn't help but ask.

"Then you will be the son of the world at that time, and I will also be in a relaxed place of spending all day." Wei Chengxuan smiled nonchalantly, "Let's go, let's go home." ”

Wei Chengye shook off Wei Chengxuan's hand and said coldly, "If the eldest brother comes to this kind of place in the future, you don't have to take me with you." With that, he walked away.
