Volume 10 Chapter 5 Unexpected Changes (I)
He Chong vaguely felt that something was wrong, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw his younger brother He Song standing outside his door with an angry face. During this period of time, He Song has become less and less bearded, and his complexion has become whiter and whiter.
He Chong sighed in his heart and looked at him quietly.
He Song gritted his teeth and asked, "Did you sleep with Li Xiaoxiao?"
He Chong's lips moved: "Hong Yu is talking nonsense." ”
"Did you sleep?"
This is his own brother, not an ordinary person, He Chong helplessly defended: "It's not what Hong Yu said." ”
"Is there any?"
He Chong was silent, He Song looked at him, the muscles on his face bulged and bulged, and finally there were tears in his eyes, and he turned away suddenly.
"Second ......" He Chong shouted, but He Song left without looking back, He Chong's heart ached, his fists were clenched, and he was crazy with hatred in his heart: Hong Yu
But soon He Chong discovered that his troubles did not only come from his younger brother. He is different from Hong Yu, Hong Yu's deputy head of the reception group was temporarily sealed by the emperor, and after the mission of Hualang was driven back by Hong Yu, the deputy head of the delegation also "stepped down". He is an official in the imperial court, and he has to go to work every day and go to the court.
So as long as he goes out and is seen, someone will cover his mouth and secretly laugh.
When he arrived at the yamen, his colleagues also looked at him with a smile, and as soon as he turned around, he could hear the whispers behind him. Even, those colleagues of the opposing faction who were against him, when they saw him fall a piece of paper on the ground, would say: "Lord He, don't waste it, hahaha"
He Chongqi trembled, but he repeatedly warned himself to be calm, he was a poisonous snake in the shadows, and as a result, the result of the city's forbearance was that those people became more and more fierce, and the ridicule became more and more powerful. He Chong was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
Hong Yu couldn't arrange the details into the He family, but it was easy to inquire about the affairs of He Chong's yamen, and when he heard these hahadaxiao, he was very complacent about his "wise" behavior this time.
He suddenly felt that "whoever hits me, I scold whom" can also be very cool.
The eldest brother Hong Lie came in a hurry, pulled Hong Yu and said, "Accompany me out, I made an appointment with your sister-in-law's eldest brother Lei Zheng." ”
In the past few days, Hong Lie is still living in Hong Yu's courtyard, and the war between the husband and wife is not over.
Hong Lie booked a box in Chunhui Building, and waited in the box with his younger brother for half an hour, before Lei Zheng came with a calm face, and as soon as he entered the door, his tone was very unkind: "What's the matter with me?"
Although Hong Yu was a little dissatisfied, he could understand it. Someone's sister married you, but you were talking to the Song family's girl outside. The brother-in-law didn't call the door, it was already forbearing, and he still made people greet you with a smile?
Of course, Hong Lie was a dwarf, and said with a smile: "Big brother is here, please take a seat." Come on, serve good tea. ”
The shopkeeper brought tea and asked, "Young Master Lie, are you serving?"
"Come on, are you ready for the Ice Spring?"
The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows, and immediately said, "You want to entertain Young Master Lei, this is a distinguished guest, and it has already been prepared for you." ”
Lei Zheng's face looked a little better, and Hong Lie said again: "Big brother, you can't blame me for some things, Yuanyuan and I have never had children, and you know this." "He avoided the important and trivialized.
Lei Zheng snorted: "If it weren't for that, I would have come to the door to bring my little sister back."
Hong Lie hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, don't." Big brother, can you help me persuade Yuanyuan, you also know her temper, and she can't listen to my explanation. ”
Lei Zheng squinted: "Hmph, don't even think about solving the things you provoked yourself." You're sorry for my sister, and you want my brother-in-law to help you persuade me?
Hong Lie was embarrassed, rubbed his hands and said, "Isn't there anything I can't do about it......"
No matter what he said, Lei Zheng just didn't agree.
Hong Yu watched from the side, but felt that Lei Zheng's attitude seemed to be a little strange, although he refused very resolutely, but it always gave Hong Yu a feeling that Lei Zheng was a little weak-hearted.
Hong Yu's spiritual sense is far beyond ordinary people, so he can keenly feel this.
He didn't understand that Lei Zheng Weishenme would be like this. However, he saw that the heat was about the same, coughed and leaned forward: "Brother Lei, I really don't blame my sister-in-law for this matter, but you can't watch the couple go on like this, right?"
Lei Zheng could show Qin Lie's face, but he didn't dare to offend Hong Yu. After all, there is a difference in the relationship between relatives and relatives, and Hong Yu is notorious, if he annoys him, no matter how he cares, Lei Zheng also has a headache.
"What can I do? Even if I agree, my sister, who has been tough and strong since childhood, will probably not listen to me. ”
Hong Yu thought for a while and said, "Brother Lei, which one of the six treasure buildings do you have a better relationship with?"
Lei Zheng frowned: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just thought, now that the top of the list of the six treasures is undecided, if there is a top position that is close to the Lei family, maybe I can bring you into the top three." ”
Lei Zheng's eyes moved, obviously understanding what Hong Yu meant, but soon, he showed a disapproving smile. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "The top of the list of the six treasures is not the end, the Dongfang clan can be alternated, more because that position is originally theirs, they are the top ten golden beams." ”
The implication is that although your conditions are good, you can't do it. Don't say that you can't decide at the top of the list, even at the end, it's because the Dongfang clan should have gotten that position, you just pushed the boat down the river and added icing on the cake.
Hong Yu glanced at Lei Zheng quietly and didn't say much. Hong Lie wanted to explain again, but Hong Yu stretched out his hand to hold him, raised his wine glass and smiled lightly: "Drink." ”
Hong Lie could already see that although the second child was smiling, his eyes were already full of indifference. Lei Zheng's ignorance and contempt have exhausted the already small amount of kinship. This matter is just a "transaction" for Hong Yu next. And even Hong Lie, who is capable of his younger brother, sighed secretly: This is by no means good news for the Lei family.
So then, it's time to eat and drink, and don't talk about this topic anymore. Hong Lie punished a few glasses of wine and toasted to his brother-in-law again. Lei Zheng began to shirk a few times, and then drank it, but the atmosphere could not be harmonious, so the tasteless banquet only lasted for half an hour, and everyone dispersed. On the way back, Hong Lie was a little apologetic: "Second brother, this is really ...... Alas"
Hong Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are brothers, you still tell me this?"
He patted the car door and said to Hongxi outside, "Go to Bai's house." ”
Lei Zheng doesn't believe in himself, Hong Yu can understand it.
After all, the top of the list of the six great treasures, such a key position, unless the emperor opens the import, who would dare to easily believe the assurances of others? What's more, he Hong Yu is just a bunch in the Wudu City?
But Hong Yu can't accept that there is no reason, this feeling of being despised by others, especially by his relatives, makes him very unhappy
In addition, it is true that the Dongfang clan was able to enter the Six Great Treasure Buildings as a substitute because of his permission, which sounds a little unbelievable, but this is the case, if he didn't nod at that time, the Dongfang family himself would not dare to admit that he had advanced to the Six Great Treasure Buildings.
Hong Xi said yes outside, the horse whip shook out a loud whip in the air, the fierce horse neighed, turned around and went to the Bai family.
The position of the major families in the Xungui District also represents the true strength of this family.
The Bai family originally ranked third in the six major treasure buildings, second in the Gu family, and fourth in the Wei family. However, whether it is the six treasure buildings or the ten golden beams, this seat arrangement is already a hundred years ago.
After three or four generations of a hundred years, the top of the rankings, in fact, the difference in strength is really very small, this is also weishenme, the Gu family, the Bai family, and the Wei family have been fighting for so long, and the top position is still undecided. If it was a hundred years ago, when the seats were just arranged, what else would they fight for? The Gu family would have taken the position directly.
And the core location of Xungui District, of course, is the four heavenly pillars, which are surrounded by the other six treasure buildings. It's just that the Bai family is close to the Song family, and the distance from the Hong family is relatively far, and the brothers rarely come over.
The Baifu Gate was just renovated ten years ago, and it is relatively magnificent in the Xungui District. On the side of the main entrance, there are three rows of tethered horse piles, and there are two small servants standing in the gatehouse.
Hong Xi parked the carriage at the door, turned back to the car and asked, "Young master, I'm going to hand over the name post?"
Hong Yu nodded: "Ask them, do the Bai family want to be the top of the six treasure buildings"
Hong Xi nodded: "The little one understands." ”
Hongxi took the name card and went straight to the gatehouse. The name card is wrapped in a red paper package, and nothing can be seen from the outside, and where Hongxi parked today, the family emblem of the Hong family happens to be on the other side, and the people on the gatehouse can't see it.
Ordinary magnates have to pay attention to four-horse and six-horse carriages, and even if they don't have status, they are at least two horses. A horse-drawn cart, the car looked very ordinary, the Bai family yawned lazily, and obviously saw Hong Xi walking towards him with a name post, but he deliberately turned around and left a big back to Hong Xi
With the second rise of the Hong family, Hongxi is now in Wudu City, and the size is also a person. That is, in front of Hong Ershao, he is still honestly a subordinate, once he goes out alone, he is also a character with the name of "Ye". Now that he was so scorned by a small guy, the anger in Hong Xi's heart suddenly rose.
It's just that he knew very well that he was doing something for the young master, so he didn't dare to attack, so he stepped forward with anger and handed over the name card in his hand: "Go and ask your master, if the Bai family wants to be the top of the list of the six treasures"
The little guy didn't seem to hear it, and didn't turn around at all.
Hong Xi snorted and raised his voice: "Go and ask your master, do you want to be the top of the list of the six treasure buildings"
The little guy still didn't move, Hong Xi was really angry, and scolded angrily: "Are you deaf?"
The little guy jumped up, turned around and slapped Hong Xi in the face, and scolded: "Fuck your mother, you don't open your dog's eyes to see what kind of place this is, it's your turn to be so presumptuous."
