143 Inn
When Wang Shen and Gan Xin came out of the Huilong Pavilion, they were personally accompanied by a senior of the Yin family, who was willing to be called an uncle, and was a senator of the Luzhou City Judge, in terms of official positions, a senator was already a well-known figure in Luzhou City, and in the Yin family, this person was also a leading figure on the stage.
However, for the Gan family, even if the envoy of Luzhou came according to the inspector, he might not have enough weight to be on an equal footing with him. Therefore, when Tang Xuan shouted out the four words of Miss Gan, the old servant who had already been interested in the mansion hurriedly ran upstairs and reported everything to several adults in the mansion.
The Yin family has taken root in Luzhou City for many years, and they are well versed in the five flavors of the business of government and business, so at the first time after the incident, Gan Xin and Wang Shen, together with Tang Xuan, were personally invited by the old lady of the Yin family to the private room on the top floor of the Dragon Pavilion.
In addition to several powerful figures of the Yin family, there were also a few leaders of Luzhou City who were good friends with the Yin family, but when they learned that the eldest lady of the Gan family was going upstairs, one of the deputy commanders of the Luzhou Soldiers and Horses Division hurriedly confessed to the old lady of the Yin family, and then quietly left Huilong Pavilion from the other side with a calm face.
As for what happened after that, it was nothing more than the flattery of Eryu between the family lords, in the face of so many powerful people in Luzhou City present, he was willing to lower his posture and give the Yin family enough face, which was similar to the-for-tat confrontation between Fang Cai and the eldest lady of the Yin family downstairs, where is there still the slightest intrigue and intrigue, and the whole appearance of a wealthy eldest lady who is down-and-out and generous, Wang Shen on the side is speechless.
In the end, the old lady of the Yin family cordially held Gan Xing's hand, and he must invite her to stay for a dinner, and Gan Xin shirked that there was also a family banquet at home in the evening, so he couldn't pull away, so he confessed his guilt and promised to wait for a few months and wait for the old lady of the Yin family to personally come to the house to ask for a glass of wine to drink, and then the two sides would give up.
Out of the Huilong Pavilion, the Yin Senator, who was in the prime of his career, also sent Gan Xin all the way away, and the conversation on the way was basically about the commander of the Luzhou Terracotta Division, Gan Yinggan. At the time of parting, he even asked his subordinates to send all the silver saury bought from the Fan family's fishing boat to Ganfu, and even whispered that because he learned that Gan Daren likes to eat live drunk shrimp, he stopped half of the fresh live shrimp that was originally going to be used to make a congratulatory banquet for his old lady at night, and sent them to Ganfu together.
Gan Xin didn't refuse, smiled and thanked him, and then said goodbye to the uncle of the Yin family, and when the two of them walked away, Wang Shen, who had never said a word, finally let out a heavy breath.
Gan Xin glanced back at him, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I didn't let you do any work, what is it like to look so relieved." ”
Wang Shen stretched his waist and smiled bitterly: "Dealing with you high-ranking officials and wealthy families is more tiring than doing hard work. ”
Willing to stare at him, he asked for a long time, "You don't like this?"
Wang Shen waved his hand and said: "It's not about liking it or not, this person is alive, many things can't be done according to preferences, the key depends on what you want, and then decide how you do it." ”
"High-ranking officials, glory and wealth, don't you like these?"
"If you have to work so hard to manage and calculate, then I'll forget it. Look at that Lord Yin, this is obviously trying to catch the big tree of your Gan family, and actually stole all the shrimp that his father was going to eat at night, didn't the old lady say that the live shrimp were all red-headed generals who were one in a hundred, and one would cost more than half a tael of silver......"
"How do you know that this shrimp delivery is not what the old lady of the Yin family meant?"
"Hey, forget it, whoever he means. Anyway, this fish was also given to you, and the shrimp was also sent, and the matter has nothing to do with me, I have been out for so long, you see that it is getting dark, Miss Gan, should you go back?"
"Well, it's time to go back. ”
Gan Xin looked at the gradually darkening sky and nodded, but then she frowned, stared at Wang Shen and said, "What do you mean I should go back?
Wang Shen touched his stomach and said innocently: "What do you mean by running? You go back to have a family banquet to eat, but I am still hungry, I have long heard that there are many kinds of food in this Luzhou city, so I just went to see it." ”
Gan Xin squinted his eyes and sneered: "It's okay, then I won't go back, let's eat together." ”
"Ahem, this, I think it's more convenient for me to find an inn to live in the next few days. You also know that I am a cowardly and fearful person, and I have offended the commander of the dignified Soldiers and Horses, and it is not appropriate to go to your house again. ”
Wang Shen explained.
Seeing that Gan Xin's face began to look ugly, Wang Shen hurriedly said, "Look, just the inn in front, I'll stay there." You can find me at any time, don't worry, the gentleman is hard to chase, when you are going to Wushan, just say it, I will definitely accompany you without saying a word. Besides, you, a young lady who has not yet left the cabinet, are not afraid of being gossiped about when you go in and out of your house with me all day long? When we go out, I see that the eyes of those subordinates in your family are not the same......
Wang Shen's words made Gan Xin's expression relax slightly, and after hesitating for a long time, she nodded and said, "Since you can't get used to it, it's okay to live in the guest house." But you are a guest I invited, if you let you stay alone in the guest house, I am afraid that people will say that I am not considerate. That's it, you go back with me first, and then I'll let the housekeeper bring a few people to live with you, you are not familiar with the place in this Luzhou city, when you have anything or what you need, just order the next person to do it, this inn has no business anyway, I'll wrap it up first. ”
Wang Shen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything, he could only laugh and nod twice.
So, about an hour later, the inn that Wang Shen fancied was all wrapped up by the Gan family, and when the shopkeeper saw a group of people hugging Wang Shen into the door, he was even more frightened and didn't dare to come out, and hurriedly served tea and water in person, for fear of offending the guests in front of him who obviously didn't seem to be an ordinary number.
For the seven or eight people who were willing to send to serve him, Wang Shen saw some clues after a little look on the road, these people were basically the family members in the Gan Mansion, not only strong but also diligent, except for one of the servant girls who didn't like to talk much.
Along the way, Wang Shen spent half of his time looking at this seemingly weak servant girl, in fact, he knew that those stout men were just a disguise, but this handmaid who was about thirty years old was a master, at least a single cultivation was also in the realm of Zhou Tian.
Therefore, for three nights in a row, Wang Shen stayed in the room and slept well, without any unusual behavior.
On the fourth day, Wang Shen took the opportunity of visiting Luzhou City to let the maid lead the maid through the streets and alleys for a whole day, until it was dark and people were tired, and then returned to the inn.
It was night, about three o'clock, that he quietly came out of his room, took advantage of the night to silently climb out of the courtyard wall of the inn, and walked in the direction of the river.
