Chapter 52: Gently I Left
Li Hongzhang smiled and said: "Don't mind, Jie'er's personality is like this, innocent, although sometimes she has a little bit of a young lady's temper, but her nature is not bad, you have to be more tolerant in the future." β
Wang Bo smiled, didn't answer, and said, "My lord, I don't know what happened ...... it."
Li Hongzhang said: "I have made an appointment to meet at the Beijing restaurant in the evening, and I will take you there then." Look at you, you came back from the night last night, right? You go wash up first, rest here for a while, and treat it as your own home, without restraint. β
Without waiting for Wang Bo to answer, he let the servant walk in. Now he has a request for help, and Li Hongzhang obviously wants him to have more contact with Li Jingjie, but it is really difficult to refuse, so he has to thank him.
After washing, I rested for another afternoon, and only got up in the evening.
The appointment to go to the restaurant for the banquet was around seven o'clock in the evening, and the current time was about five o'clock in the afternoon.
Feeling a little hungry in my stomach, I ate some snacks, so I walked around the Li Mansion to kill time.
The Li Mansion is very large, you can see the pavilions and pavilions everywhere, the building is antique, Wang Bo is quite interested in appreciating, walking in the corridor, walking and watching the flowers.
Walking and walking, I suddenly walked into a back garden, in front of the rockery, but I heard the sound of trickling water, saw a little plum blossom red, and the surroundings were very elegant and quiet.
Wang Bo is a little strange, what kind of place is this, so elegant and quiet? However, the atmosphere of this winding place made him quite infected.
Suddenly, I heard a voice from the left side in front of me, it was Li Jingjie's voice.
"Cousin, it's a cold day, the fish in the pool are hiding under the water and can't come up, you can't tease and tease if you want to, it's really boring, it's not fun at all, let's go back!"
A woman's voice sounded: "You, you know how to play, the fish here are all caught by you, and when I hear your voice, I don't dare to float up, I'm afraid of you!" "The voice is delicate and beautiful.
Wang Bo's heart moved, and he thought: "This girl should be Li Hongzhang's daughter, it seems that I broke into someone's backyard." You have to get out quickly, so as not to be entangled by Li Jingjie again. β
Just as he was about to turn around and exit, he suddenly heard a female scream behind him: "Ah! You...... Who are you? When he turned around, he saw that it was a servant girl, and the plush cloak she was holding in her hand had also fallen to the ground.
"Who?" Li Jingjie quickly ran into the rockery, waited to see it clearly, and exclaimed: "It's you!" You haven't left yet, have you? β
Wang Bo smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was silent, and said: "At noon, I just came back from Tianjue, and I was treated well by the Lord Zhongtang, leaving me to rest in the house. β
Li Jingjie said: "So, you haven't done what you promised me at noon?" β
Wang Bo said: "I have only been back to the capital for a long time, after coming here, I have not gone out, you can rest assured, as a businessman, the most important thing is to pay attention to integrity, I promised you something, I will definitely do it." β
Li Jingjie looked at Wang Bo in disbelief for a while, and then said, "Okay, believe you again, remember to send what I want tomorrow." Of course, I don't want you in vain, I will settle the money for you according to the market price, and I will not owe each other. β
Wang Boxin said: "Now there is no market for buying my things on the market, all the prices are speculated very high by scalpers, and they are settled according to the market price. But these words also turned in my heart, but I didn't speak, just smiled.
didn't think about this smile, Li Jingjie on the other side was unhappy, her eyes widened, and she said, "What are you laughing at?" I said I would pay you the money, and I didn't take advantage of you, what are you laughing at? β
Wang Bo didn't answer, and said, "I came here unintentionally and disturbed you, I'm sorry, I'll retire first." β
"Wait!"
Li Jingjie rushed to Wang Bo to block the way, opened her hands, and was about to speak, when she suddenly remembered something, quickly withdrew her hands, grabbed the cloak on the hand of the servant girl next to her and covered it on her chest, looked at Wang Bo vigilantly, and saw that he was nothing unusual, so she said: "Don't go first!" To put it clear, what were you laughing at just now? β
Wang Bo was helpless, this little girl was too nonsense, she just laughed, what is it more real?
"Jie'er, don't be embarrassed for this son." There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Wang Bo turned his head to look, and a young girl came in from outside the rockery, slender and gentle-looking, about eighteen or nineteen years old.
Li Jingjie pursed her lips and said, "Cousin, you don't know this guy's character, he ...... He...... He's not a good guy anyway! β
The girl made a blessing salute and said, "Childe, please don't mind, Jie'er has a naΓ―ve and straightforward personality, and she has always spoken straightforwardly, without any other malice." β
Wang Bo returned the salute and said, "It's okay, I had some misunderstandings with Miss Jie before, I can understand it." My name is Wang Bo, I don't know what Miss is called? β
Li Jingjie snorted in front of the girl, glared, and said, "What are you doing?" How can my cousin's name be told to you casually? β
The girl said angrily, "Jie'er! She smiled apologetically at Wang Bo and said, "The little girl Li Jingxuan, the small character is juju, and I have seen Wang Gongzi." β
Li Jingjie said: "Cousin, why did you tell him your name, I heard the second uncle say that this guy is from the United States. Jianhe. When the nations returned, they learned from the foreigners that their stomachs were full of bad water! β
"Hey! Let me tell you, don't think about any bad ideas, my cousin is very smart, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just the little foreign ink in your stomach, only worthy of making some strange little things, in front of my cousin, all those ghosts in your stomach are all exposed! β
"Jie'er!" Li Jingxuan stomped his feet and looked helpless, so he had to apologize to Wang Bo again and again.
Wang Bo put Li Jingjie's words in the left ear and out of the right ear, just as if they didn't exist, and didn't care at all, the eldest lady's temper is like to mess around, and she can't be treated with common sense, just ignore it, and after a while, she herself feels bored and dies down.
Li Jingjie was very angry at Wang Bo's attitude of treating herself as transparent, and said angrily: "What kind of expression do you have?" Not convinced? That's good, if you have the ability, you can write a poem, don't think that making any soap, shower gel, ballpoint pen and other things that don't go into the flow will lift your tail to the sky, will you do poetry? β
Wang Bo was amused, ignored it, bowed to Li Jingxuan, and said, "Miss Ju, there is something to do next, so I will leave first." "Turn and leave.
Li Jingjie was so angry that she jumped to her feet, only said goodbye to her cousin, but did not say goodbye to me, obviously not taking me seriously, and was about to scold.
Suddenly, Wang Bo's voice came: "
Gently I go, as softly I came;
I beckoned softly, and made a cloud of the western sky.
The willow by the pond is the bride in the sunset;
The beautiful shadow in the waves ripples in my heart.
The green wattles on the soft mud are swaggering at the bottom of the water;
In the soft waves of the small bridge, I am willing to be a water weed!
The pool under the shade of the elm is not a clear spring, but a rainbow in the sky;
Crumpled among the floating algae, precipitating a rainbow-like dream.
Looking for a dream? Hold a long artemisia and wander towards the greener grass;
Loaded with a boatload of starlight, singing in the starlight.
But I can't play songs, quietly it's a parting sheng flute;
The insects are also silent for me, and silence is the little bridge tonight!
Quietly I went, as quietly I came;
I waved my sleeves and didn't take a cloud with me. β
The sound fades away until it is inaudible.
Li Jingjie was stunned, her big eyes blinked, and she said after a while: "What the hell are you reading?" I don't know what to say! Cousin, don't you say? Cousin? Cousin! β
Li Jingxuan said "ah", and seemed to be frightened.
Li Jingjie looked at her cousin, but saw a faint flush on Li Jingxuan's jade cheeks, and her eyes were shy and delicate. She asked strangely, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?" If your face is so red, you won't be blown by the cold wind and get caught by the cold, right? β
Li Jingxuan couldn't help covering his face, he was even more shy, and said busily: "Ah...... That one...... Maybe...... It's windy here, let's go back to the attic......" Without waiting for Li Jingjie to answer, her footsteps moved quickly and left first.
Li Jingjie was puzzled, but secretly blamed Wang Bo, and hated in her heart: "It must be this dead thief who broke in and frightened my cousin, I know that this guy is uneasy and kind, and he has a bad stomach, and he is a disciple!" Hum! If you don't send me what I want tomorrow, it will be a breach of trust, and then I will go to your factory to make a fuss and let you know how good Miss Ben is! β
Thinking that tomorrow he would single-handedly make trouble in Wang Bo's factory, this person lost face, and finally took revenge, he was excited and excited when he thought about it, and snorted arrogantly in the direction where Wang Bo left, and turned to catch up with her cousin.
Wang Bo naturally didn't know Li Jingjie's troublesome little abacus, he walked out of the backyard while reading the poems, thinking: "I can't compose poems, but I can copy them...... No, how do readers say copying, it's a reference! Learn from me always, in addition to Xu Zhimo will hook up with his friend's wife, the poems he makes are even more indulgent to girls who don't understand the world, and it is the most suitable to use it to hold a pen at this time. β
That night, Wang Bo followed Li Hongzhang to meet Prince Gong, and when he saw Prince Gong, he found that this person had a gloomy face and looked a little depressed, and when he talked about his son Zaicheng, his expression was extremely disgusted and hateful.
Wang Bo was surprised, how much enmity does this father and son have? It is said that father and son have no overnight feud, but no matter how you look at this situation, it looks like a deep hatred.
It wasn't until later that I learned that this Zaicheng was not a human being, and he was lustful and taught Emperor Tongzhi badly, and both the monarch and the minister were all infected with flower willow disease, not only that, but they were so lustful that they even robbed their own aunts, and the madness was so outrageous that Prince Gong longed for his son to die early, although the relationship between father and son existed, in fact, the love had long been severed.
Even so, he will take what is due!
He was very happy and straightforward, as long as he agreed to his terms, he would not pursue the matter, and he was willing to help settle the others. (To be continued.) )
