Chapter 405: Disappointment
After talking for a long time, I got around to the question of Liu Rushi just now. Wu Shigong is also a person who can bend and stretched. Today's banquet must not be offended by Xu Wenjue. Otherwise, the meaning of attending this banquet would be completely gone.
So Wu Shigong was not afraid of being embarrassed, and smiled and bowed to Liu Rushi, "I'm really sorry! Please forgive me, everyone."
But Liu Rushi still leaned against Wu Shigong. Seeing this scene, Gu Hengbo smoothed out the situation. She smiled and said to Wu Shigong: "Sister Liu asked you what poetry works you have!"
What work? Wu Shigong was a little confused. Do you want to learn the poems copied by time traveling seniors? But the possessed Wu Shigong only remembers Tang poetry and Song poetry! What he did himself could even hear Wu Shigong, a person with a low level of culture, could be called limerick at most.
Before traveling through time, Wu Shigong had read several traveling historical novels, but he remembered the harem and glass making. He didn't remember any of the plagiarized poems. Who would make such preparations?
It is impossible to say a single poem without remembering it. At that time, the sentence that appeared very frequently in time travel novels, Nalan Xingde's "If life is just like the first meeting" was still remembered by Wu Shigong. However, the author of the original lyrics and the full text of the lyrics and the full text of Wu Shigong had no impression. Why did Wu Shigong remember this sentence in his memory? That was because Wu Shigong had already changed this sentence to "life was like first love" at that time.
But now Wu Shigong is telling Liu Rushi that "life is mentally retarded as first love"? Then he is really mentally retarded. It is not embarrassing to admit that he loses, so Wu Shigong smiled and said, "I can't understand poetry, so how can I look like Liu, everyone is smart on the outside and beautiful on the inside!"
At this time, Wu Shigong was still praising Liu Rushi. He thought of solving Liu Rushi's trouble earlier and returning to today's main topic as soon as possible.
Seeing Liu Rushi still drooping his face, the scene was still a little awkward. Gu Hengbo smiled and said, "Then Mr. Wu is wrong. You have to be fined three drinks! You want to apologize to Sister Liu."
Drink as long as you solve the problem. Wu Shigong was also happy and drank three glasses in one breath. Seeing that he had saved his face slightly, Liu Rushi couldn't act anymore, so he turned around and thanked Wu Shigong half-blessedly.
The scene was slowed down, but Wu Shigong would not let them continue the art salon. If you continue drinking and talking like this, you will not be able to talk about anything serious today. So Wu Shigong asked while the hot, "How did the prince watch the matter?"
Wu Shigong wanted Xu Wenjue to express his opinion clearly. However, Wu Shigong's question offended Liu Rushi again.
In Liu Rushi's opinion, the young master Wu who was with him today was too angry. It would be fine if he didn't hold her and not pay attention to her words. At least he had to make the appearance of a pig brother who had just entered the table? Otherwise, how would Liu Rushi's worth behave? But he was fine. He ignored it and vulgarity did not count, but he never discussed elegant art and talked about that kind of vulgarity endlessly.
So Liu Rushi raised his face and sat sideways. He curled his mouth and squeezed out two words in the sound of a silver bell: "Sweep away!" Although Liu Rushi said very lightly, the room was not large. Everyone here also heard these two words.
Of course, Wu Shigong, who was sitting next to Liu Rushi, also heard it. However, he turned a deaf ear and felt a little bit self-destructive. He was afraid that he would mess up the money borrowing if he offended Xu Wenjue.
Among the guests here, some people were disgusted with Wu Shigong. Among them, Mr. Wei was originally ranked second among the "Princesmen". Logically speaking, Liu Rushi should have been with him today, but Wu Shigong, the northern local bun, took the lead. Therefore, Mr. Wei was already unhappy.
So Mr. Wei supported Liu Rushi and said, "It's really unreasonable. Today's beautiful scenery is just about to ask you all for poetry, but you did this disappointing thing. Besides, the military needs should also ask the court, so where is there any reason to borrow from relatives and friends? I heard that Wu Hou's family tutoring is very strict. When I see you today, hum!"
When he heard someone sarcastic, Wu Shigong still turned a deaf ear. He looked at Xu Wenjue with a smile and firmness, asking the prince of Wei to give a real answer.
Feeling Wu Shigong's eyes, Xu Wenjue knew that he could not dodge. He forced a smile and said to Wu Shigong: "Brother Wu is at ease, please leave it to Brother Wei. If you have any questions, please hand it over to Brother Wei. Please submit it to the Nanjing War Department Office for you. How about you let all the adults give me an answer as soon as possible?"
Wu Shigong's eyes were filled with disappointment. The meaning of Xu Wenjue's refusal was too obvious. You know, if Xu Wenjue was willing to help, he would have said, "Duke Wei greeted the Ministry of War or the eunuch in Nanjing." But now he is just helping to hand in a memorial. That's not a matter of not having to do it!
However, Wu Shigong had not given up yet. He took a deep breath and then said with a smile: "I didn't borrow it for free. I have some fertile land in Henan. I am willing to use these fertile land deeds as mortgage, so I can turn it over for a year."
Seeing Wu Shigong repeatedly entangled, Xu Wenjue was also a little impatient. He blurted out: "Shaanxi bandits are by your side, who would want your Henan land?" Feeling that his tone was a little tough, Xu Wenjue continued to smile and said, "Don't talk about this. Today, I will take my brother to see you. When I will give you a little profit tomorrow, I will visit Nanjing City for a few more days, and then go back to the Henan army as soon as possible."
Seeing Wu Shigong, the young master Wei said again: "If Brother Wu has something to do at home, the prince will certainly not stand by. But if there is something to do in the army outside, what should I do? Don't talk about it anymore!"
These words suddenly shocked Wu Shigong on the spot. Wu Shigong repeatedly chewed the words "If there is something in the army outside, what should we care about?" and immediately realized that this banquet was actually a banquet for relatives and friends, and it was not something that he wanted to solve the problem for himself.
Wu Shigong felt his blood suddenly surge and could not bear it anymore. In order to prevent him from venting his temper, Wu Shigong had to stand up and squeeze out a smile and said to Xu Wenjue, "Get out of politeness and change clothes!" Then he followed the little maid who led the way and hurriedly walked towards the changing clothes in Meilou.
Wu Shigong didn't know at all. No matter how clever and eloquent he was today, the playboys here would not give him a result. Although those people had a deep background in their families, they could not make decisions in their own homes and had no ability to decide to borrow such a large sum of money. Therefore, Wu Shigong today was destined to return without success. (To be continued...
