Chapter 45: Madame, Please

The news that the dog master and Zheng Taibai became famous in the first battle, and the news that their strength had returned to the peak spread in Luoyang, and the loss of paintings in the study building became two hot topics for the people of Kyoto.

After this battle, Lu Yao was familiar with Youjiao in order to establish a stable master-servant relationship, Lu Yao pestered the dog master to give him tips, seeing that he was a bit of a first-time father, diligently choosing the way of teaching his son, and he had an inexhaustible heart.

After this incident, Zhang Mazi and I suddenly became the cusp of Taoliu Lane.

In an instant, several of us became the focus of attention, especially the dog master, no one despised him with disgusted eyes, and now he is the man of the year in the entire Taoliu Lane.

Zhang Mazi in order to achieve the early control of the qi as a sword, all day long out early and return late, I don't know if he is still obsessed with disturbing the deficit camp outside the city, he can already control the qi as if he entered the realm of no one, and no one found a trace.

During this time, I also became a well-known Mr. Xu in Taoliu Lane, thanks to my brilliant performance at the Luohe Poetry Conference, and I don't know who spread the news at this time?

At this time, I became famous, and I was turned over the old accounts before being turned over, and it was clear that someone was secretly helping, and I didn't know if I wanted to kill me, or if I was purely admiring.

I estimate that the latter is unlikely, first of all, I can rule out Wang Gongwang, I am thankful that he hasn't come to find fault these days, he is willing to throw his face to the ground and let others trample on it, then the sun will come out in the west!

Once a person is famous, even if he is famous, it is a troublesome thing.

Now as long as I appear in Taoliu Lane, there are men, women and children who greet me with their heads, and I am inevitably a little flattered by these people who call me "Mr. Xu" on the left and "Mr. Xu" on the right.

I am a person with a peaceful personality, but I will not be complacent about forgetting how many pounds and taels I have, and I really regard myself as a man who is full of wealth, and I regard myself as a gentleman.

On the contrary, if a person has no talent to support fame, the higher he climbs, the worse he will fall, and the height is unbearable.

I thought that the peaceful days would last for a while, and no matter how bad it was, it would take three or five days, who would have thought that I would not provoke right and wrong, but right and wrong came quietly.

On the second day after the Guogong Mansion was criticized by the ministers, the courtyard door was knocked by a light girl, who came from a maid of the Shenjiang Mansion.

I have seen that handsome and lovely maid, it is the servant of the Shenjiang Mansion that I was ordered by my parents to return the jade pendant of the Shenjiang Mansion and pour tea for me in partiality.

When the maid saw me, she had a pair of small dimples on her face, and her shallow smile was like a spring breeze blowing willows, which was very charming.

"I remember the last time I met Mr. Xu, you looked as thin as a bamboo pole, but now it's only been a few months, and Mr. Xu looks a lot stronger."

Although this sweet-looking little girl is a maid who serves tea and water in the Divine General's Mansion, she can serve the children of rich families all the year round, and is accustomed to seeing the brocade clothes and jade food of dignitaries and dignitaries.

A few months ago, I traveled all the way with the refugees from the north to Luoyang, thousands of miles away, from the remote part of Ezhou, and I don't know how much I suffered.

I didn't greet the maid of the Divine General's Mansion too much, and asked directly: "I don't know what the girl is here today?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that I was a scholar, I was taught by the ancient rites of the sages since I was a child, and I regarded "everything is closed in front of the door" as the way of life, I wouldn't want to have any more intersections with the Divine General's Mansion at all.

The little maid came today politely and called me "Mr. Xu", apparently specially sent by a nobleman in the palace.

Seeing that I had picked up the conversation, the toothless little girl smiled brightly and said slightly, "Madame ordered me to ask my husband to come over to the house, and please don't embarrass Fluttershy......"

The smile on the face of the self-proclaimed Fluttershy's Divine Commander's Mansion fades away with the wind, and a hint of incomparable grievance appears on her pretty face, which I can't bear to see.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, I'll go to ......"

The Divine General's Mansion is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, from the little girl's tone and attitude today, I think this time the Divine General's Mansion took the initiative to invite, maybe not as aggressive as last time, and looked at me, a down-and-out scholar who went to Kyoto alone, with his nostrils.

Fluttershy bowed slightly, and made a gesture of invitation with her right hand toward the outside of the courtyard, and I returned the favor as a matter of rudeness.

After saying hello to Lu Yao and Master Dog, I straightened my neat clothes, and then brushed the green silk on my sideburns, and then moved out of the courtyard with Fluttershy.

Outside the door, there was a sedan chair, and the sedan chair driver stood around the sedan chair, and I couldn't help but tremble when I saw that I had never enjoyed such an honor.

Today, in just a few months, the attitude of the unattainable Divine General's Mansion has changed dramatically, which is really ironic.

The first time I have seen such a luxurious sedan chair, the crimson sedan chair, the golden tassels hang around, and the decoration is graceful and luxurious.

The sedan curtain is printed with beautiful patterns of spirit animals and birds intertwined and playing, and at first glance, it is designed and created by dozens or even hundreds of craftsmen, and every stitch and thread shows exquisite and delicate.

The top of the palanquin is as magnificent as the canopy of the palace, and the center is inlaid with a huge and soft white pearl, which shines in the sun, and the pearl flashes with dazzling color, which looks very dazzling.

Seeing such a gorgeous sedan chair, and then looking at the four sturdy sedan chair drivers, I immediately paused.

Fluttershy was stunned when she saw me, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the curtain: "Sir, please get on the sedan chair, Madame specially explained, don't snub sir!" ”

I have never enjoyed the life of a dignitary, let alone experienced the feeling of being served, and I don't feel that my identity deserves such treatment, so I cleverly refused: "I'm not used to sitting in a sedan chair, Taoliu Lane is not far from the Shenjiang Mansion, don't bother!" ”

After expressing my attitude, I bowed apologetically to the four palanquins, and then walked in the direction of the Divine Shogun's Mansion.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, Ezhou is more than 3,000 miles away from Luoyang, the eastern capital, and I have walked over on my legs.

I'm really not the kind of person who harnesses manpower and is greedy for pleasure, and this sedan chair really can't bring me freshness.

The palanquin drivers obviously didn't expect me to refuse to sit in the sedan chair, and they looked at Fluttershy with embarrassment, thinking that Fluttershy had a high level of prestige and voice.

Fluttershy smiled wryly back, so she had to let the palanquin bearers carry the palanquin behind me.

I took the lead, and Fluttershy caught up with me and asked, "Is your husband still angry with Madame about what happened last time?" ”

"It's not ...... to be angry," I shook my head, and in fact I wasn't the kind of person who held grudges easily.

What am I am?

A poor scholar in a remote corner of Ezhou.

Although I was a young man, my family was honest, but a plague, both parents died, and now I am just one of the inconspicuous scholars among the thousands of Confucian scholars in the world.

Fluttershy thinks that Mister has changed a lot in the past few months, and now the whole city of Luoyang is talking about Mister and the people in Mister's yard...... said that Mr. is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, talented, and will definitely be able to reach the first place in the future! ”

If I want to pass the imperial examination, I have to go back to Ezhou to participate in the township examination, county examination and many other links.

There are countless Confucian students in the world, and there are not a few well-educated people who are talented and talented.

I didn't have the heart to listen to Fluttershy's flattery, and I couldn't figure out what Madame Kit's purpose was for "pleasing me" to come over this time.

I can't afford to climb the Divine General's Mansion, and the last time I returned the jade pendant, I was verbally humiliated by Mrs. Ji, so that I really can't raise any interest in this kind of high pavilion gate.

I panicked, so I once asked, "Miss Fluttershy, do you know why your lady invited me to the house?" ”

As I spoke, I subconsciously reached for my purse, trying to break the bank and pry Fluttershy's mouth open to get some valuable information.

Fluttershy seemed to read my thoughts, shook her head at me, and said slightly, "Madame also learned about the performance of the poetry club from the young master...... My wife comes from a scholarly family and has always respected scholars, so I invited Mr. to come over to talk about it, which should be an apology for the last time. ”

Talking about apologies can only deceive others, but I don't believe it.

I immediately said magnanimously: "Mrs. Guifu is serious, I didn't pay attention to this matter, please tell Madam directly, I, Lu Changqing, am not a person with a small belly." ”

If it is really just for this little thing, I don't think it is necessary, and there is no need to be so excited.

I stopped and turned to go back, but as soon as I turned around, Fluttershy stood in front of me, opening her arms and saying, "If Mr. slips away like this, Fluttershy won't be able to explain to Madame......"

Fluttershy doesn't say a word about the jade pendant, nor does she mention my engagement to Wang Xizi, which leads me to conclude that Madame Ji didn't just like me because she invited me into the mansion.

My parents died of a vicious illness, and I didn't have time to tell me in detail about the jade pendant before I died, and now there is no proof of death, and I feel from the bottom of my heart that there is no need to have anything to do with the Divine General's Mansion in this matter.

In fact, with my current status, I am really not qualified to negotiate terms with the Divine General's Mansion, not to mention that with the Heavenly Skills of the Divine General's Mansion, even if I want to climb the high branches, I have to look at the face of others, right?

If you want to dodge this matter, you can't avoid it, so I simply face it calmly, and it is best to take this opportunity to completely end the matter of the jade pendant with the Divine General's Mansion.

I didn't bother Fluttershy and turned around and continued towards the General's Mansion, where Fluttershy followed me like a follower.

Several sedan chair bearers follow Fluttershy, cautious along the way, fearing that she will not be brutalized by Fluttershy and will be ruined.

It can be seen that although Fluttershy is a servant of the Divine General's Mansion, her status in the Divine General's Mansion may not be low.

As Mrs. Ji's personal maid, this seemingly petite and cute little maid is actually very delicate, she always looks at my facial expression from time to time with the corner of her eye, and then deliberately finds some topics to dispel my concerns, and uses a pitiful aggrieved expression to force me to go in the direction of the Divine General's Mansion, which makes me a little frightened and a little overwhelmed.

I know that even if this trip to the Shenjiang Mansion is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, it is by no means as simple as passing through the mansion, but the only thing I can think of now is my marriage contract with Wang Xizi.

As I walked along the road, I thought to myself that since my parents had not informed me of this marriage contract before they died, if Mrs. Ji still held on to it, she would simply withdraw from this family affair, so as not to have an unpleasant quarrel with the Divine General's Mansion in the future.

Poor, you have to have a poor backbone!

Even if I can't please the person I like all my life, I will not lose my literati style, and I will not lose my literati style, and I will be the son-in-law who has no confidence at all, so that my parents under Jiuquan will not be blind.

I can think of the worst consequence is like this, even if Mrs. Ji picks a bone in the egg, she has to have an egg to pick.

I simply made my position on this issue clear, and by the way, I set up a "letter of resignation" or something like that, so that the Divine General's Mansion would not keep holding on to this matter, adding chaos to his daughter, and the more he described it, the darker and darker it became.

In addition to the indignation in my heart, I bowed my head and sighed softly and said to myself: "There are many rich houses...... Leave it to your fate......"
