Chapter 22: Gu Tingye's Purpose!
"Brother Zhong Xuan, Zhong Huai will prepare a little wine in the Eight Immortals Building tomorrow, and I hope my brother can appreciate the light......"
Yuan Wenshao took the post and looked at it, the content inside was quite simple, that is, it was a little literary and crepe, not at all like the rumors outside, it still looked quite literary.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand that if Gu Erlang hadn't been calculated in the future, it is estimated that he would have been admitted to the Jinshi as an official, which proves that his literary aspect is still fine, and his literary strategy is also outstanding.
Although Gu Tingye did not succeed on the road to the imperial examination, and finally chose to abandon literature and martial arts, this was not because he was not talented, but because he was unabashed and was murdered by someone with a heart, so he cut off the road to the imperial examination.
You must know that he was removed from the top three list by the emperor, and now he can plant Jinshi is a dragon and phoenix among people, and it is even rarer to win a imperial examination.
This post only said that he would have time to eat at the Eight Immortals Building tomorrow, but did not determine the specific time, so Yuan Wenshao thought for a while and then ordered Chang Sui:
"Ping'an, you go and inform the people of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion, and set it for tomorrow afternoon!"
"Obey~"
"Inexplicable~" Yuan Wenshao muttered to himself, then turned around and went in to take a bath.
However, when I was soaking in the water, I was still thinking in my mind, because of the scruples of several friends in the past few months, I rarely intersected with this Gu Erlang, and I occasionally ate two meals together.
The main reason is that his reputation is really not very good, and it has spread all over this Bianjing City, not filial to his parents, disrespectful to his brothers, spending all his days drinking, unruly, unruly, walking dogs and fighting cocks, and mixing in Goolan Washe......
and so on, as if he was the most hateful gentleman in the whole capital, but in fact it was worth scrutinizing.
Of course, Yuan Wenshao also understands that there is definitely Xiao Qin's handiwork in this, and even his eldest brother is estimated to be fueling the troubles, so he still has to keep his distance for the time being.
But then again, even if Xiao Qin's family is behind his back, Gu Tingye can have today's bad reputation, and he can't get rid of it.
I heard Zhang Jingchang say that this product has a few good friends in Qianchun Building all the year round, and even raised two outer houses outside, relying on his young and strong body, and he is so happy to sing every night.
What can he do with himself this time?
With such doubts, I went to work after taking a shower, and as for the question of whether I would be late, our second master Yuan was the biggest in the yamen.
Now that he has fully established his prestige, he naturally wants to go at what time he wants, who dares to say more nonsense?
Riding his beloved big black horse, he came to the yamen all the way, drank a cup of hot tea, and read the imperial court newspaper for a while before officially starting his day's work.
At this time, Zhao Hu, who was already the head of the "head horse", came in and asked: "My lord, what to do with that named Zhang Ping, he has been shouting that he has something to do with you~"
"What's the matter, I'll be punished according to the top grid, but it's just a slave from my sister-in-law's family, hurry up and ask someone to send the soldiers and horses, I'm annoyed when I see him~"
Yuan Wenshao waved his hand impatiently, a little servant is still refined, do you really think that the Earl's Mansion belongs to their Zhang family?
"Yes!" Zhao Hu agreed categorically and did not leave directly.
Carefully took out the money bag from his arms, stepped forward and put it on the table and said with a smile: "My lord, at this time, Scarface sent filial piety this month~"
"Well, just give it to Rongbao!"
After Yuan Wenshao finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, so he raised his head and said expressionlessly: "Zhao Bantou, let that scarface stop a little!" ”
"Next time I see him on the street, he leads people to be arrogant and domineering like a clean street tiger, and Lao Tzu personally leads people to serve his casino~"
"Yes!"
The famous tiger master outside is like a kitten here at the moment, and he bends down slightly since he came in, and his attitude is called humble.
"Let's go down~"
"Hey!"
……
In the afternoon, Yuan Wenshao directly skipped work, of course, he had to find a reason, as beautiful as he said was to inspect public security, but in fact he went to the Eight Immortals Tower to eat and drink.
In ancient times, it was good to be an official, no ordinary person would be idle and hurt to report, of course, he didn't have a place to go, or he had to eat a killing stick first, are you joking when officials protect each other?
Yuan Wenshao took two long-term entourage, rode to the Eight Immortals Building, and was directly taken to the private room on the third floor by the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
As soon as I entered, I saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy sitting there, not to mention that he looked quite handsome, but at this time, the future Gu Houye's demeanor was not at all, and his face was full of arrogance.
"Zhong Huai, I'm really embarrassed, I've been delayed for some trivial matters in my brother's yamen~"
"Brother Zhong Xuan, don't say that, you are now an official of the imperial court, so naturally you are busy with business, and the younger brother came early when he had nothing to do~"
Although Gu Tingye tried his best to hide it, he still showed an envious expression, he was the second oldest in the family, but now he was in charge of more than 100 people.
He often mingles in Goolan Washe, naturally he has heard of the name of "cold-faced Yan Jun" Lord Yuan, and there are no three sects and nine streams in Nancheng, which is an acre of three points, who are not afraid of him.
Here, Yuan Wenshao naturally noticed his expression, but he just smiled and didn't care, Gu Lao Er can have some achievements in the future, and luck can account for half of it at most.
The rest is inseparable from his own efforts, and he must have a desire to make contributions, probably because he is a little greedy to be an official.
He put his hand in the bronze bowl held by the maid, washed it briefly, wiped his hands, and then sat down on the chair.
He smiled heartily and said, "Zhong Huai, I have just taken office at this stage, and I am indeed a little busy!" ”
"We brothers haven't drunk well for a while, so we must not get drunk today~"
"Okay~" Gu Tingye nodded with a smile.
Then he turned his head and instructed the restaurant manager: "Let people serve wine and food, and then call the best singer to come over to help the fun, and I want the one who wears tulle in the Western Regions~"
Look, don't look at the young age of this product, but his father Ning Yuanhou is in power, and Xiao Qin's intention to indulge, it is estimated that he has never lacked money since he was a child, and he is a proper old driver.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Yuan Wenshao waved his hand to stop singing and dancing, and motioned for them to go down.
"Erlang, you called me over this time, it's not just drinking, just say what you have to say, is there a friend who has committed something, as long as it's not a big crime, for your sake, I will never shirk!"
"Uh... Well..."Gu Tingye was still a little embarrassed.
"It's not that a friend is making a mistake, but there are other things to trouble Brother Zhong Xuan!"
"Huh?" Yuan Wenshao can't understand this, why are you looking for me if you don't make a mistake.
is a small eight-rank official, and he can't seem to help you Gu Erlang in other things, the second son of the dignified Ning Yuanhou, some people want to pat on the back.
"That's the case, don't I feel tired of staying in the capital, I want to go to Yangzhou to play a trick, I heard that Brother Zhongxuan's family is going to go over to pay for the second sister-in-law, so I thought if I could accompany him~"
"Cut, go to the grave and burn the newspaper, you fool the ghost?"
complained silently in his heart, Yuan Wenshao was reborn, knowing that this product must not be simply played, and what excuses are there to accompany him, in the final analysis, he doesn't want to hide people's eyes.
Sneaked to Yangzhou, and then recaptured his grandfather's family property, as for why he didn't dare to make a big splash, the Bai family was born as a salt merchant, and this industry was well-known for its black hands.
