Chapter 158: The twisted melon is not sweet, but it quenches thirst
"Wang Zhixian, I really have to thank you at the beginning, if it weren't for your half bowl of dumplings, where did Guo come from today, now that Wang Zhixian is in trouble, Guo must be duty-bound, but there is no need to enter this house."
Guo Yi stopped Wang Xianzhi and said with a smile.
"You are polite, now the official worships the political secretary of the council, and can still remember such a good fate in the next, it is really a blessing in the next, you are right, it is indeed not a proper move to go to your house, or you can buy a house in this Ying Tianfu, the location is not too good, the outer city is also fine, and then give some silver, let me settle down first, if there is a chance, I hope that Lord Guo can introduce it, and seek an official and a half position above the court, it would be great."
Wang Xianzhi's face was ecstatic, and he thought in his heart.
Now that he has not returned to heaven and earth, presumably Lin Hao has sent people to search for him in the city, if he goes out of the city at this time, it will inevitably be a problem.
Since Guo Yi remembers the old love back then, a mere house is naturally not a problem, after all, he is his savior.
If Guo Yi is kind-hearted, it is not impossible to regain his identity and seek another official position.
"You still want to be an official?"
Guo Yi sneered.
"It's abrupt, Lord Guo is an honest and honest official, so naturally it is impossible to do such a thing, so let's do it, I don't want an official position, you can put a house in the next place."
Wang Xianzhi also felt that it was inappropriate, he changed his identity, but his face did not change, Lin Hao and Zhu Gaoxu were both important ministers above the court, if they found out, they would not have thrown themselves into the net.
What's more, this is Ying Tianfu, but it's not like the Xichang Mansion where birds don't, it's absolutely easy to get an official position, and it's really a bit embarrassing.
"You still want a house?"
Guo Yi then laughed.
"The house in Yingtianfu must not be as cheap as Xichang Mansion, you can find an inn to live in, and then give some coils."
Wang Xianzhi sighed in his heart, and quickly changed his tone, now that he is under the fence, it doesn't matter if he has a house or not, as long as he has a place to live, it is good.
"You still want to stay at the guest house?"
Guo Yi laughed again.
"Lord Guo, the inn doesn't live in Xia, but after all, it was a gift to you back then, I don't ask how to repay it, can you lend it to some coils, and after returning to Jiangnan Mansion, I will immediately ask someone to return it."
Wang Xianzhi suddenly felt furious in his heart, and swallowed his saliva.
"Back then, the official was in trouble in Xichang, and begged you bitterly, how did you treat the official, did you give a copper or a place to lie down, and even the half bowl of dumplings were eaten by the vicious dog you raised."
"Don't you want to repay the favor of the official, the official will report it to you, come on!"
Guo Yi's eyes were full of coldness.
Back then, he endured humiliation and burden, and drilled under the crotch of this Wang Xianzhi, only to exchange for half a bowl of dumplings left over from the dog's eating.
I haven't gone to seek revenge all these years, and I am already very gracious, and this grandson even dares to come to his own house to repay his kindness.
"Master Guo, I don't want anything here, just leave, I haven't seen it today!"
Wang Xianzhi's throat tumbled for a while, and suddenly remembered what happened back then, Guo Yi was just a poor scholar at that time, and the most unaccustomed thing in his life was these poor scholars, so he made it difficult for him in every way.
Time has passed, and I only remember that I gave Guo Yi half a bowl of dumplings, and I forgot about other humiliating things, and now I am so door-to-door, wouldn't it be self-defeating!
"It's not so simple to leave, and the official hasn't repaid this favor yet."
Guo Yi beckoned to the old man with a dumpling stall on the opposite street.
"Master Guo, what do you command?"
The old man rubbed his hands and greeted him with a smile, Guo Yi was a good official praised by everyone in the neighborhood.
On weekdays, if something happens to any of the neighbors, Lord Guo will never rely on his identity and stand by and watch.
"Cook all your dumplings for the officer."
Guo Yi took out a tael of silver and handed it to the old man.
"Okay, wait a minute, this dumpling is stuffed with pork and green onions, it's genuine."
The old man hurriedly ran to the stall and got busy.
Wang Xianzhi subconsciously swallowed his saliva, thinking that he was going to kill him, but he didn't expect that Guo Yi wanted him to eat dumplings.
No matter what, as long as your life is saved, it's a good thing, eat this meal first, and think about the rest later.
"This meat filling alone has five catties, plus dumplings, why can't there be thirty catties!"
Not long after, the old man came to Guo Yi's mansion with two large pots of dumplings, and said with a smile on his face.
"Wang Zhixian, please."
Guo Yi sneered.
Sitting on the ground, ignoring the filth on his body, he picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, and the steaming oil flowers flowed out along the corners of his mouth, one after another, Wang Xianzhi ate a satisfied.
Dozens of dumplings went down, Wang Xianzhi burped with satisfaction, and wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth: "Sweating, I've never eaten such delicious dumplings!" ”
"How can you be full, these two pots are prepared for you, Wang Zhixian gave the official half a bowl of dumplings back then, and the official should return it a hundred times."
Guo Yi leaned down and leaned into Wang Xianzhi's ear.
"It's really impossible to eat, it's a pity to waste it, why don't you take these dumplings away and eat them when you're hungry?"
Wang Xianzhi didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet, and it was already a blessing in that misfortune to be able to eat a full meal.
"If you don't finish eating the dumplings in this pot today, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."
Guo Yi's face changed suddenly, and then he walked towards the house.
A few housekeepers pressed Wang Xianzhi's head and pressed it towards the hot pot.
The housekeeper directly kicked over the iron pot containing the dumplings, and the dumplings with white flowers were scattered all over the ground.
Suddenly, a group of wild dogs, dripping with a hara, stared at Wang Xianzhi with fierce eyes.
"Master Guo said, these dumplings are his gratitude, if you eat one less, you will die here today!"
The housekeeper pulled out the Pu knife, plunged it into the ground, and looked at Wang Xianzhi with a smile.
Wang Xianzhi's eyes were filled with tears, and his intestines were about to repent, it was really not that he didn't report it, but the time had not yet come.
Grabbing the mud-stained dumplings and stuffing them into their mouths, chewing them, a group of vicious dogs rushed up.
Wang Xianzhi picked up a brick and stared at the group of vicious dogs, if one of them was taken away, his life would not be guaranteed.
A vicious dog pounced directly on Wang Xianzhi and bit Wang Xianzhi's thigh, Wang Xianzhi didn't care about the pain, and beckoned to the vicious dog's head with a brick with his backhand.
Seeing this, the other vicious dogs pounced one after another, and Wang Xianzhi's bitten skin was open, but he refused to let go of a dumpling.
Half an hour later.
Wang Xianzhi lay dying in the corpses of a group of vicious dogs, looking at the dumplings that had not been taken away, and finally showed a smile.
"These twenty taels of silver were given by Lord Guo to repay the kindness of a meal that year, and there will be no more relationship between you and Lord Guo from today onwards."
The shopkeeper threw a piece of silver in front of Wang Xianzhi, and then walked into the courtyard gate.
The old man cautiously stepped forward, picked up the iron pot, and didn't forget to spit at Wang Xianzhi: "At first glance, it looks like you have done bad things on weekdays, and you will be punished!" ”
Wang Xianzhi endured the severe pain, picked up the silver ingot, and staggered towards the medical hall, full of resentment in his heart: "Guo Yi Xiao'er, don't let this official turn over, otherwise you will not be spared!" ”
……
"Master Guo, why do you bother, this kind of scum gives him silver?"
The old butler was puzzled.
"Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, he did save my life, if it weren't for that half bowl of dumplings, how could I come to my day, and this matter will not be passed on."
Guo Yi shook his head helplessly.
As a political secretary, how could he not know that His Majesty had issued a secret edict to Shen Lian, the commander of Jinyiwei, and went to Xichang Mansion to execute Wang Xianzhi.
Shen Lian has always been ruthless, he thought that this guy had already met the king of Hades, but he didn't expect that he would survive, maybe it was his own days in the dark.
It was not a humiliation before, but to let Wang Xianzhi atone for the sins he had committed, and twenty taels of silver was his reward.
If Wang Xianzhi was a smart person, he would naturally take the twenty taels of silver and live incognito, even if he went to do a small business, he could survive.
……
Early the next morning.
Lin Hao finished washing up under the service of Peach, and stretched: "No one in the palace came to inform the court?" ”
"Back to the lord, no one in the palace came, but His Royal Highness the Second Highness, invited you to participate in the poetry meeting in the courtyard, it is said that the four masters of the Ming Dynasty will be present, this is an invitation."
Peach brought a bowl of bird's nest lotus seed soup and placed an invitation on the table.
Lin Hao looked intently, and saw that on the invitation, the four characters of Yingtian Poetry Club were written in juanxiu's small letters.
"What kind of bullshit Ming Sijie, push it, if His Royal Highness sends someone to urge, it will be on the grounds that my lord and I are unwell."
Lin Hao shook his head and asked Zhu Gaoxu to kill people, this kid is absolutely energetic, let him write poetry is not to kill him, but to participate in some poetry meeting.
The so-called poetry club is nothing more than a place for those rich children who think they are talented and famous.
"Lin Xiaoyou, quickly open the door for this king!"
Chengguo Gong Zhu Neng's hearty laughter came from outside the door.
Peach opened the door in response, only to see Cheng Guogong with a faint smile on his face, carrying a deer still dripping with blood on his back.
More than a dozen entourages behind him, carrying a large red wooden box, walked into the Lin Mansion.
"Cheng Guogong, what are you doing here?"
Lin Hao was completely confused, could it be that it was a reward from His Majesty.
"Happy event, definitely a big happy event, Xi'er has been sullen since she returned to the house in the past few days, and last night she was finally tricked out by this king, she said that this trip to Jiangnan Mansion has a secret affection for Lin Xiaoyou."
"You haven't been married yet, you worship the four products at a young age, Xi'er is the county lord, you two are the golden boy and jade girl set up in that day, this is not the king will pull down the old face, and come to the door early in the morning with a dowry."
Cheng Guogong's eyes were full of cunning, and he was worried that Xi'er, this girl, has a strong personality, if she is not willing, she is afraid that it will be difficult to match, and she is really worthy of being the son-in-law she likes, how can any woman escape.
Lin Hao is also Zhu Di's favorite horse, if Zhu Di knows about it, he will be the first to take the lead, and it is estimated that his beard will be crooked.
The two have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and they finally defeated Zhu Di's old boy once, not to mention how relieved they were.
As for whether Lin Hao agrees or not, it is not a problem at all, the daughter of a dignified and successful prince is married, why is he unwilling, if he really does not obey, the knife holder is on his neck.
……
Fengyang Palace.
Princess Xianning lay on the phoenix couch and washed her face with tears all day long.
He cursed Lin Hao secretly in his heart, even if he wasn't in Ying Tianfu before, but now that he has responded to Tianfu for a few days, he doesn't know what he means by coming to him!
"Ning'er, something is wrong, Lin Hao has an accident!"
Zhu Xi pushed open the door of Fengyang Palace.
"Slow down, what's wrong with Brother Lin?"
Princess Xianning suddenly lost her face, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and sat up from the bed.
