Chapter 123: Wei Lan
Among the people Situ Xi knew, there was no friend surnamed Wei, but when someone came to visit, Situ Xi stopped discussing the Yan family with Zhong Lixuan first.
When he came to the gate of the courtyard, Situ Xi saw the appearance of the person who came, this was a weak scholar, he was dressed in a white Confucian robe, a blue belt was tied around his waist, his hair was tied high, he was handsome, more than seven feet tall, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand.
said that he was weak, first of all, because his dress was the standard scholar attire of the Chu State, and this scholar was indeed a little too weak, his face was pale, his lips were purple, his bones were thin, and his body was extremely thin, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
"Wei Lan has seen my uncle."
When the scholar saw Situ Xi come out, he immediately clenched his hands into fists, held the folding fan in his hand, and bowed respectfully to Situ Xi.
Uncle? Calling himself like this, it seems that this person is from the Huaiming Mansion, Situ Xi turned his head to look at Zhong Lishu.
Zhong Li looked at the scholar in front of him, but shook his head at Situ Xi a little blankly.
"Miss Su should have never seen her, my father Wei Ling." Wei Lan took in the movements of the two of them, and quickly explained to the two.
"It turned out to be Mr. Wei's son, Xianggong, Mr. Wei is his father's right-hand man......"
"I know, I have met Mr. Wei in the house...... Brother Wei, if you are a little neglectful, don't blame you, I don't know why you came today? ”
Situ Xi had Wei Ling's appearance in his mind, when he went to the Huaiming Mansion to see Zhong Liwu before, Zhong Limo introduced him to the middle-aged strategist, it is said that he is Zhong Liwu's henchman, Zhong Liwu trusts him very much, no matter what problems he encounters, no matter how big or small, he will communicate with that Wei Ling.
It's just that this Mr. Wei's son, what is he doing in his own mansion, and even Zhong Lixuan seems to be seeing him for the first time, it seems that this person should not show up often.
"Today I came to visit my uncle, mainly to say hello to you, I also just returned to Xuan'an City today, presumably my uncle can also see that my body is riddled with diseases, it was inconvenient to move around before, I have been recuperating elsewhere, recently with the help of a divine doctor, this has improved, so I thought about coming to find my father......"
As he spoke, Wei Lan suddenly paused, he shook the folding fan in his hand and patted his forehead with it.
"I'm sorry to say I missed again. That's the case, isn't my uncle about to go to Linwa City to take up a post, my father said that my uncle is still short of a staff member, so the eldest son and my father arranged for me to come, and asked my uncle not to dislike it, please bear with me. ”
understood, it turned out that he was the substitute class that Zhong Liwu invited for him.
"I see, Brother Wei will come to the courtyard first, and I also want to ask you about this regiment training envoy."
"Uncle, don't call me Brother Wei again, just call me by my name, or call me Yuji."
Fish machine, the word Wei Lan is quite interesting.
Walking into the courtyard with Wei Lan, Situ Xi beckoned him to sit down at the table, and ordered Qingyu to bring some snacks and cooked water, not that he was stingy with wine, but he looked at Wei Lan's sick body, and he really didn't dare to let him drink.
Wei Lan took the teacup handed by Whisper, but his eyes fell on the iron coupon on the table.
"Uncle is worried about the affairs of the Yan family?"
"Huh?" Hearing Wei Lan's abrupt question, Situ Xi and Zhong Lixuan were both stunned.
Situ Xi followed his gaze to the iron coupon on the table that he had forgotten to put away, and when he looked at Wei Lan again, his gaze changed slightly, this Wei Lan was not simple.
"How did the fish machine know, we are really discussing this matter." Situ Xi was not prepared to hide it from him.
"Although I am not in Xuan'an, but I will write to my father every day, so I know about the Yan family, and today I heard my grandfather talk about this matter, my father said that the young lady returned to the house today, and I heard that the Yan family Yanyue and the young lady are friendly, and now I see this eight treasures and iron coupons from the hands of the eldest lady, and I also know the general situation of the matter." Wei Lan took a sip of cooked water and talked eloquently, when he drank the cooked water, he looked at the drink in his hand with some surprise, it tasted really good.
Eight treasures, Situ Xi looked at the bag on the table, and saw that there was indeed a lotus flower embroidered on it, speaking of which, the bag that Li gave him before was embroidered with a treasure umbrella, it seems that there are eight kinds of this pattern, it should be the so-called "Eight Rui Xiang", it is indeed very Li style.
"This bag is indeed hand-sewn by the eldest lady." Zhong Li was stunned to see Situ Xi staring at the bag, so he explained to him.
"Uncle, in my opinion, it's better not to interfere in this matter of the Yan family."
Without waiting for Situ Xi to praise Wei Lan's quick thinking, he quickly spoke out to make a suggestion to Situ Xi, but his words made Zhong Li's face darken.
"Oh?" Situ Xi looked at Wei Lan and saw that he was also looking directly at him, he didn't respond to Wei Lan's words, but instead raised his eyebrows and threw a question at him, "Just now you said that you came here to serve as my staff member?" ”
"That's true, in a few days, I will go to Linwa City with my uncle, and I will be responsible for helping my uncle with a staff officer or ......two in some duties" Speaking of this, Wei Lan showed a sudden expression, "I just said a lot, a little overstepping, please don't blame my uncle." ”
Wei Lan thought that Situ Xi was reminding him not to care about things outside of his duties.
"I didn't mean that, but I wanted to hear your opinion on this matter, maybe you can come up with an idea for me, is there a way for the fish machine to help with this?"
"That's the case, if my uncle really wants to meddle in this matter, it's not impossible, I know a little bit about the Yan family, but there are still some details that need to be asked by the Yan family."
"This is easy to do, tomorrow my wife and I are going to visit Miss Yan, and you will go with us tomorrow."
"Understood." Wei Lan nodded.
"Let's talk about Linwa City, speaking of which, I don't know what the specific responsibilities of this regimental envoy are, although I am just going to be a deputy, but I should also deal with related affairs."
"The so-called regimental training envoy is the military attache in charge of the regimental training of a city, in charge of the troops, the things he is responsible for are complicated and complex, and they are simple and simple.
