Chapter 6: Joining Forces to Unmask the Wicked (33)
Xiao Beiyou said goodbye to his father-in-law and second uncle, went down the Bauhinia Mountain, he soon arrived in the capital, he took a short rest in the inn and then went to a luxurious residential area near the Huaiqiao in the west section of the Qinhuai River, where lived the imperial relatives, wealthy high-ranking officials, civil ministers and military generals, the mansions one after another, the walls are high and the doors are wide, the roads are wide and the alleys are deep, the carriages are luxurious, even in normal times, there are often gorgeous sedan chairs in and out.
Xiao Beiyou quickly walked to the three beast head gates of the palace, he walked to the right door, and said to the guards at the door: "Hello! Can you please go and talk to Wang Jinyu's housekeeper?
The guards took a closer look at Xiao Beiyou, and saw that he was handsome and chic, modest and polite, wearing high-end clothes, like a foreigner and a rich son, so the guards didn't dare to be sloppy, and said politely: "Distinguished guest, please wait a moment, I will report later, and I will come back to meet you soon!"
Xiao Beiyou waited, and after a while, Wang Jinyu's housekeeper came out, and before he reached the gate, he shouted: "Okay, you Xiaosan, you haven't come to see Lao Wang for so long, have you forgotten me?"
Wang Jinyu walked to the door, but did not see Xiao San, the driver of the rickshaw, he asked the guard: "Has Xiao San been here?"
Xiao Beiyou stared at Wang Jinyu and said, "Old Steward Wang, don't you recognize Xiao Xiao?"
Wang Jinyu looked at it, the young man in front of him was dressed luxuriously, with a handsome face, and he didn't look like a rickshaw driver at all, Wang Jinyu thought: "Is this Xiao San? It can't be that I'm confused, right?"
"Steward Wang, he said he was Xiao San. Didn't you know him when he said he wanted to see you?
"He is Xiao San, how can he be a pretend? It's just that he has changed a lot, he has become much more arrogant, he used to be a rickshaw driver, and now, is he like a coachman?" asked Wang Jinyu.
"No, in small view, he looks like a rich man. Or like a learned rich man. The guard said.
"Lao Wang. Don't keep thinking of me as a driver forever, a lot of people will improve, and so will I, and I'm not the same as I used to be. It's a bit of progress. We haven't seen each other in a long time. Won't you invite me into the palace for a cup of tea? After you get in, Xiao Xiao will tell you how I have changed, okay?" Xiao Bei lobbied.
"Haha. I was stunned by your 'gorgeous turn', and I forgot to invite you into the house, come, please come in!" Wang Jinyu said politely.
The guards looked at the intimacy between Steward Wang and this dashing young man, and couldn't figure out what their relationship was for a while.
Xiao Beiyou followed Wang Jinyu into the right gate of the palace, and after that, they passed through two more doors before they arrived at the living room behind the courtyard, Wang Jinyu asked him to sit down, and let the family of the palace make tea, and the family poured two cups of tea and put them in front of Xiao Beiyou and Wang Jinyu, Wang Jinyu said: "Xiao Xiao, please drink tea!" You kid has a lot of potential, I am very happy that you have made great progress, tell me, what are you going to do after we separate?"
Xiao Beiyou took a sip of tea and said: " Later, in the process of pulling the car, I met some people, and over time, I had a relationship with some businessmen, they felt that Xiao Xiao was more diligent and could trust, and they also knew that Xiao Xiao had a unique skill and could play the flute very well, so there was a boss who did a silk business and told Xiao Xiao not to pull the rickshaw anymore, he said that he and his second brother took in some children, and let Xiao Xiao teach those children to play the flute, and by the way, he also helped take care of those children and play with them, and he promised to give Xiao Xiao twice as much silver every month than he earned when he pulled the car, Xiao Xiao went with him, a while ago, Xiao Xiao has been with the children, and later, the boss's business is getting bigger and bigger, he can't be busy, he needs help, he asked Xiao Xiao to help him, responsible for contacting some customers, settling some accounts, and sometimes accompanying some merchants to eat and drink, after that, Xiao Xiao is very much like a businessman, so he will dress neatly, so that he will be more respected when he goes out to meet merchants, right?
Xiao Beiyou faced the kind-hearted Wang Jinyu, he couldn't bear to lie to him, but now he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to tell some truths and make up some stories, he said that he played the flute very well, and it was also true that he often played with children, but he helped the businessman to do things but made it up, of course, he also helped Fang Liuhe go down the mountain to collect silver in the silk village, so Xiao Beiyou felt that he did not deceive Wang Jinyu in his heart.
"Brother Xiao, from the first time I met you, I knew that you kid would definitely have a future, you are very clever, very diligent, thoughtful, and can speak, but also quite chivalrous, I thought at that time, you will definitely have a bright future, sure enough, now I have thrown off the rickshaw, dressed neatly and gorgeously, and walked into the business in a big way, it's really good, come, brother uses tea as wine, congratulations!" Wang Jinyu said.
If it weren't for the fact that you took care of Xiao Xiao at that time and often asked Xiao Xiao to pull a car to run errands, Xiao Xiao would not have had so much confidence to insist on pulling a car in the area of Zhenhuai Bridge, and he would not have met the boss who was doing the silk business, so I must thank you very much! By the way, how is Brother Yang Feiyang now? Is he okay? Xiao Xiao often thinks of him. Xiao Beiyou asked, he thought in his heart, maybe he could use Yang Feiyang to mobilize Wang Liyan and Xie Jingxi to participate in the alliance and deal with the police department together.
"Fei Yang is also very promising now, he is already a very important person for Master Xie, and it is said that he is learning martial arts from Mr. Lin Hexuan, he is a good material, smart, studious, sensible, flexible, like you, there will definitely be a big future, Fei Yang sometimes goes to the 'Green Park' to take a look, and more often it is for Master Xie to do things, today seems to be in the backyard of the 'Jingyi Pavilion', I ordered someone to find him, you two haven't seen each other for a long time, have a good chat!" Wang Jinyu said.
Xiao Beiyou hurriedly said: "Lao Wang, Xiao Xiao has an idea, can you let you lead me into the 'Jingyi Pavilion' to meet Brother Yang, Xiao Xiao has sent flowers and trees in the past, the courtyard there is very interesting, it is better to go in and have a cup of tea with Brother Yang in the original living room, this is more meaningful, do you say?" Xiao Beiyou had already thought about entering the "Jingyi Pavilion" , and his meeting Yang Feiyang there was only one of the purposes of his visit, in fact, what he wanted to see more in his heart was Xie Jiayao, the daughter of the Xie Mansion, if he couldn't see her, at least try to hear her play the piano again.
"Xiao Xiao, you have a very good idea, it turns out that you have been to the 'Jingyi Pavilion', you have a good impression of it, and you feel very cordial when you revisit the old place, I can understand this, okay, come with me, I will take you to the back courtyard to meet Feiyang!" Wang Jinyu stood up and walked inside, Xiao Beiyou happily followed behind, he began to get excited in his heart, looking forward to seeing Xie Jiayao.
"Feiyang, come out and see, who's coming?" Wang Jinyu shouted as soon as he entered the "Jingyi Pavilion", "Come out and welcome, your third little brother Xiao is here, see if you can still recognize him?"
The people in the houses around the courtyard heard it, Yang Feiyang listened, and walked out of the living room, he saw Wang Jinyu leading a young man with an elegant posture and neatly dressed clothes to walk in, and he couldn't recognize it for a while, he walked over and took a closer look, and finally recognized it from Xiao Beiyou's eyes and posture, he said: " Haha, it's terrible, Brother Xiao San, you have changed a lot, if it weren't for Steward Wang's prompt beforehand, I really wouldn't have recognized it, look at your gorgeous outfit, you must no longer pull rickshaws, and now you have become arrogant, tell me, how did you become arrogant?"
In fact, the younger brother is still the same as when he pulled the rickshaw, he is still your poor little brother, and you are still my eldest brother, but Steward Wang is like my uncle, I am often happy today, I can come back to the palace, and I can see you two again, which makes me extremely happy!" Xiao Bei lobbied.
"I'm also very happy, you have grown a lot now, you should be congratulated as a brother! The business you take care of must be very good now, right?" Yang Feiyang asked.
Originally, I was called to teach a group of children he took in to play the flute, and also played with the children, and then he needed a helper in business, so I went to learn to do business, and only met customers, settled some accounts, etc., but also got along with the boss for a long time, became a good friend, often talked, he was good to me, often talked to me, often talked to me, very good. Xiao Bei lobbied.
"Brother Xiao has a bold temperament, is decent, smart and witty, and must be very popular, but you have been interacting with businessmen since you didn't pull the rickshaw? However, I heard you just now that you are going to teach children to play the flute, so you must play the flute very well, otherwise, how could they ask you to teach the flute? It seems that you know music very well?" Yang Feiyang suddenly asked, he remembered the previous time Xiao Beiyou especially liked to listen to Miss Xie play the piano.
"It's not bad, my little brother's flute playing skills were taught to me by a master who has a very high attainment in flute music, I am his close disciple, the master passed on the very precious jade flute and precious flute music scores to me before he died, so I can also be called a high level in playing the flute, from the death of the master until now, I have not met a real opponent, maybe I will meet it in the future, however, in terms of playing the piano, the eldest brother Miss Xie on the house, but much stronger than me, led me to admire ...... very much. Xiao Bei lobbied, thinking deeply about Xie Jiayao, he was immersed in deep love and deep thought, and was speechless for a while. (To be continued......)
