Volume 1 Spring Thunder Chapter 69 Another Family
If Qu Bai was an uninvited guest this time, then there were people who gave Wang Lan even more headaches later.
Originally, Wang Lan wanted to call her daughter to attend, but when Wang Miaoyan learned that the Qu family was coming, she didn't want to go to the luncheon in the name of taking care of her.
The state commander who loves his daughter has no choice but to give up.
The reason why Yi Chen was not called was because it was not appropriate for him to come out on this occasion, it would not play any role except for the embarrassment, and it was not possible for outsiders to know the relationship between Yi Chen and his daughter, otherwise if he really wanted to use the identity of the state order to cheat on the field, he would also be truthful, and he would inevitably be in trouble.
At noon, after the luncheon was seated.
Qu Bai was still wondering why he didn't see his dear niece, and when his appointed daughter-in-law came forward, he heard a report from the mansion, saying that it was a guest from the Jianzhou royal family and made a special trip to visit the state commander.
After Wang Lan heard the Wang family in Jianzhou, he sighed in his heart, why did all cats and dogs come at this time, no competition was held, no one jumped out when he didn't say that he was going to marry his daughter, and they all started to jump at the last moment.
If you want to say that this Jianzhou Wang family is really not a cat or a dog, as the only remaining family gate valve in the three states in the west, the family is also powerful, at least not Qu Bai, who can be compared to a state driver.
Sensei said that Qu Bai is the second-in-command of a state, and in the eyes of the common people and grassroots officials, he is already a big official, but compared with the Wang family of Jianzhou, it is really a big deal, and Wang Lan, as a state commander, can also enter the eyes of this family with the same clan and surname.
"Someone!
"No!"
After Wang Lan finished speaking, he went out again, and then Qu Bai and his son also walked out, after all, being an official in Jianzhou was also indispensable to deal with the landlord-like Wang family.
Although after Li Feng took the throne, he suppressed the family gate, and now it is not comparable to the grand occasion of the Seven Kingdoms era, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the wealthy family is still a wealthy family, and the heritage of hundreds of years is resting there.
And the Wang family belongs to the type that has been named and warned, and has not been particularly seriously suppressed, and there are still people who are officials in the court today, that is, the clan brother of the contemporary head of the family, and he is appointed as a waiter in the ministry, and no one can say whether he can sit in the position of a Shangshu in the future.
Therefore, even if Qu Bai is the second-in-command of Jianzhou, he still can't and dare not slack off the Wang family, who now seems to have a bright future.
As soon as Wang Lan walked out of the door, he turned back and asked, "Who is here?"
"My lord, that person said that he was the eldest son of the Wang family, and Wang Tu said goodbye. ”
The white-clothed state commander nodded before walking towards the mansion gate.
"Uncle Shi, the little nephew Tu Don't be so polite, ah, don't drive the adult here. At the gate, Wang Tubei recognized Wang Lan and Qu Bai at a glance, and at the same time secretly sighed in his heart that he was really extraordinary. ”
He gave each of them a courtesy, looking polite, showing the style of the family, Wang Lan couldn't help nodding secretly after seeing it, whether he intended to make a show or not, at least people couldn't find fault with it.
Wang Lan looked at this child of the family and teased: "Oh, when did I become the uncle of Wang Gongzi?"
Wang Tubei smiled faintly, neither humble nor arrogant: "The state order is the same clan and surname as my Wang family, so he can naturally be regarded as the uncle of the younger generation, and besides, the uncle holds the power of a state, so Tu Bei is not high." ”
"Let's go into the house and talk first, just before the luncheon starts, we happened to meet together and have a few drinks together. "As an old fox in officialdom, Wang Lan will not have a good impression because of Wang Tu's other sycophants or two, but he thinks that this kid has a degree of advance and retreat, which is much stronger than Yi Chen's stinky stone.
"Then the little nephew will be bothered. Wang Tubei bowed again, and followed the two into the house.
Qu Bai secretly pondered behind him what his idea was when the prince of the Wang family came to visit Wang Lan during a sensitive period, but he didn't think that this kid was also here to propose, at least the elders had to come, and Wang Lan was so good that he held real power and was a feudal official, and it was estimated that Wang Tubei was just passing by to visit.
After a few people took their seats, the atmosphere suddenly became inexplicable, Wang Lan and Qu Bai were ancient friends, and they had no scruples between their words, this was inserted for no reason, and this person's identity was still relatively sensitive, and suddenly the dull wine table became dull.
"Since you can call me uncle, then I will also call you a nephew, I don't know why my nephew came to visit this time?" Wang Lan asked like a yellow dragon, he naturally has nothing to say hello to the junior, although the Wang family is powerful, but he is also a feudal official, and he does not have much respect and fear for him.
Besides, he also has another identity that makes people talk about it, it can be said that in the entire Xuanzhi Temple, except for the one who has stood up to the sky, there is nothing that can make him jealous.
Wang Tubei thought for a moment and said: "It's not easy for the little nephew to talk about this matter, so let my father tell you." ”
"Oh?"
Qu Bai and Wang Lan were both surprised, and the two looked at each other and looked at the subordinate dressed as an old servant behind the prince of the Wang family.
I saw that the man took off his hood and said loudly: "Lord Wang, don't drive, Wang Zhihuai of the Wang family has visited the two adults." ”
Wang Zhihuai is the head of the contemporary Jianzhou Wang family, and he is also the brother of Wang Xi, the servant of the ministry.
Wang Lan was slightly surprised, and didn't ask him why he reported to his house after entering the house, but just asked people to add chopsticks and chairs, and invited Wang Zhihuai to take a seat.
And Qu Bai's heart was tight, since Wang Zhihuai came in person, it was probably for the same purpose as him, but he had to wait and see what the situation was.
"I don't know if the head of the family is here in person this time, but what's the big deal?" Wang Lan had a guess in his heart, hoping that he wouldn't guess correctly.
Wang Zhihuai didn't have any other worries about Wang Tu when he spoke, and he was more open, although he didn't have an official body, but as the head of the gate valve family, no one would underestimate him.
"Wang Zhou Ling, since you go straight in, I won't be polite, I came with a dog today to make a daughter. Wang Zhihuai sat on the seat with a smile, although he was dressed as a servant, his momentum was not bad at all, and his eyes never left Wang Lan's face.
In addition to admiration and admiration, Bai Yizhou Ling was still impressed in his heart, thinking about how his daughter suddenly became a sweetheart.
"Since the two of you have the same intention, then we will also talk openly and explain this matter directly. Wang Lan's tone was steady, just pointing out that Qu Bai and Wang Zhihuai had the same meaning.
provoked the latter two to glance at each other, Qu Bai knew that his previous plan was completely wasted, and the Wang family intervened sideways to make this matter full of variables.
What he didn't know was that even if the Wang family didn't intervene, he wouldn't have the slightest chance, and Wang Lan originally planned to refuse him through the banquet.
"Presumably both of them know that this time the state order is a martial arts competition, and only the man who wins the first place in the martial arts competition will have the opportunity to marry Miao Yan, and it is not necessary to marry. Wang Lan said softly.
Qu Bai could only shake his head secretly, it was definitely impossible to make friends and let Wang Lan loosen his mouth at this point, but he thought that although his son was a half-ass, he was also a good at learning martial arts and inherited his talent.
If Kennu had worked hard, there might still be a chance, as long as he didn't run into stubble.
Qu Renjie didn't think so, he was full of joy but didn't dare to show it, and he was still thinking in his heart that if he had to go on his own face when the time came, he would show his hands and pretend to be forced, and take the opportunity to put a girl, if he met a master, he simply admitted defeat directly.
After all, Qu Dashao has been crisscrossing flowers and plants for more than ten years, and his face is thicker than the city wall, he doesn't feel that there is anything shameful about admitting defeat, his skills are not as good as others, what else can he do.
I can't really let myself go up and compete with others desperately, there are so many fun things in the world, so many good-looking girls, he still wants to spend the rest of his life in bed, but this degree is not the degree of being crippled.
Wang Zhihuai looked like he was in his chest, and he smiled: "This is natural, I have heard the rules before, I came to say hello to Lord Wang in advance, so as not to be too abrupt to be an in-law when I get it." ”
Wang Lan looked at Wang Zhihuai, who was full of confidence, and then at Wang Tubei, who was silent, and thought to himself, is he so sure that his son-in-law can win the first place? Or is there any other reason......
Others don't know, he is clear as the Jinzhou state order, this time the competition can come to a lot of young people, because the matter of the Jade Dragon Inn has attracted many all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes, and I just heard that the state order is going to marry a daughter, and the number of people who sign up has increased exponentially.
"This official has a doubt, and he also asks the head of the Wang family to solve his doubts. After Wang Lan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Zhihuai to reply, and then said: "Has Ling Gongzi ever seen a little girl, has the head of the Wang family ever seen a little girl? ”
Wang Zhihuai didn't answer, but Wang Tu said respectfully: "Although the little nephew has not seen Miss Miao Yan, but the reputation of the young lady can be known by a little inquiry in this Jinzhou City, not only has the posture of the city but also has the style of a chivalrous woman, and the deeds of entering the tiger's den to kill the big thief and tiger general can be said to be spread all over the city, and no one knows who knows." ”
Wang Lan smiled faintly and said: "It seems that I have done enough homework, and I have inquired about everything I should inquire about before I come, but I understand my fair lady and gentleman, but it is a little difficult to agree to this marriage just because of this, why don't you plan to say something dry?"
The few people present knew in their hearts that although they could win the first place to be qualified to marry the daughter of the state order, that was only a qualification, and in the final analysis, the white-clothed state commander had to nod.
Wang Zhihuai frowned and looked at Wang Lan, then turned his head to look at Qu Bai, and refused to say anything for a long time.
"The head of the Wang family doesn't have to worry, Brother Qu Bai is my old friend, and we have a deep friendship, if you have something to say, you might as well take advantage of the banquet to say it directly, you also know that the big competition will start tomorrow, and things in the state are still relatively heavy. Wang Lan shook the wine in the glass, took a sip and chuckled.
"In that case, if I have any scruples, it will seem like a little villain, let me make it clear, Lord Zhou Ling was young back then, and he rose like a comet and directly became a feudal official, which can be described as having an unlimited future, but don't you think there is something missing?" Wang Zhihuai stared at the white-clothed state order and said in a deep voice.
