"Mistress, mistress, get up, get up, something happened, something big happened!" Fatty Tang was sweating profusely, and regardless of the obstruction of Biluo and the other maids, he rushed into Xiao Wei's house.
In the bedroom, he patted Xiao Wei on the shoulder and started yelling wildly.
Xiao Wei had been tortured by Liu Zhenxiong all the way. He drank too much last night. It was rare that he could take a nap. He was sleeping soundly. How could he survive being made such a fuss by Fatty Tang?
On the bed, he stretched out his hand and slapped away Fatty Tang's pig hooves in great annoyance. He glared at Fatty Tang impatiently and said, "What's the matter? You're messing around so early in the morning and you're not letting anyone live."
?”
"Early in the morning? Mistress, you're just confused. It's almost noon, and the fire is raging. Do you still have the heart to sleep? Get up!" Fatty Tang shouted as he jumped three feet high.
Oh, damn, I overslept! Xiao Wei looked at the sky outside with sleepy eyes, and then realized that the sun was very hot, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He rubbed his eyelids and smiled to himself.
Said: "How can I not wake up after a spring sleep? Ha, sleep well, sleep well. After all, why are you so alarmed?" [
"Okay, my mistress, go to sleep. If you feel like it, go ahead and sleep. The sky is going to collapse today. Let's see if you can still sleep?" Fatty Tang glared at Xiao Wei angrily, and after a while, he said
Then he said anxiously: "It has spread all over the city, saying that you are an imperial envoy, and you are here to collude with the Liu family and betray Yanxi. There are many young and old people in the city shouting to behead you, and there are several business houses.
The guys who went out were all beaten. Damn it, these people from Yanxi are really fucking arrogant. Hey, just sleep and keep sleeping..."
"What?" When Xiao Wei heard this, the remaining sleepiness immediately disappeared. His eyes were so wide that he almost fell to the ground. He sat blankly for a while, suddenly jumped out of bed, and only
Wearing a close-fitting singlet, he was about to rush out, but as soon as he raised his feet, he suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face kept changing.
Has this started? What a quick move, damn, I didn’t even let you take a breath! Xiao Wei had already concluded yesterday that he would be involved in this storm in Yanxi, but he didn’t expect it.
The turmoil came so quickly, and it was inevitable that he felt a little anxious and angry - Xiao Wei knew his own affairs well, and apart from selling horses, he indeed had no other responsibilities for the court, but this may not be the case in the eyes of others.
The slightest move from someone who was interested, Xiao Wei was immediately thrust into the limelight. This incident was really difficult to explain. The more he explained, the more complicated it would become. Now that it has happened, he just wants to sneak back.
The capital is in trouble, and there are only two ways in front of Xiao Wei. One is to hide in the Liu Mansion and let the rumors spread casually. Maybe the rumors will stop among the wise, but since someone with a heart dares to stir up this matter secretly
, there will naturally be follow-up arrangements, and there is no way to avoid it. As for the second way, that is to face the difficulties, take advantage of the situation, and simply make the water muddy, "
If it is chaotic, let it be completely chaotic. It is not a bad idea to fish in troubled waters.
Who is behind this? Is it the Wang family, the Zheng family, or the Zhang family? I don’t know, it’s all possible, maybe even the Liu family. There are too many variables here, and I don’t have a clue. Let’s start with guesswork, but there is one thing that Xiao Wei is sure of.
Doubtful, that is, it is very difficult for him to escape from this whirlpool easily. In this case, the fierceness in Xiao Wei's heart burst out immediately. He smiled slightly, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Fat man, you
Get ready and go back to Wang's house with me. Well, let's take Mr. Shu's 'Night Fishing in the Lotus Pond' painting as a gift."
"Wang family?" Fatty Tang was stunned for a moment when he heard that Xiao Wei was going to the Wang family to give gifts instead of trying to refute the rumors. However, when he saw Xiao Wei smiling confidently,
He didn't ask any more questions, scratched his head and said, "Well, I'll also prepare some generous gifts and let the Wang family come out to talk. Maybe it will work."
Tsk, where did this damn fat guy go? He is really a stupid boy! Seeing that Fatty Tang might have misunderstood, Xiao Wei was too lazy to explain, so he laughed and said, "Come here, change your clothes!" As soon as he said this, Bi Luo
The maids sent by the young ladies and maids immediately rushed forward and waited on Xiao Wei to wash himself. In a pavilion next to the water, a man in white robes
The old man sat in front of a few children, stroking the strings of the piano with both hands. The fragrance curled up, and the sound of the piano was elegant and elegant, like the clear sound of an empty valley, making people unconsciously indulge in it. This old man is the current head of the Wang family, Wang Yue——
Jinchang Wangmen is known as the tallest gate in Yanxi. Since the Holy Ancestor opened the Western Region, the Wang family has taken root in Jinchang City and has flourished for nearly five hundred years. It can be said to have a long history. However, Wangmen has
Two strange things, one is that he founded his family in the land of conquest, but his family is full of scholars. He has been a scholar for many generations, and he has been in charge of the copywriting of Yanxi for many generations, but he is committed to the army; the other is that the Wang family is deeply rooted, but it is a pity that the incense is not very good.
Wang, a 500-year-old family, including its branches, has a total of less than 300. However, many civil servants and assistant officials in Yanxi prefectures and counties come from the Wang family. Although they have military power of one soldier and one soldier, they have no military power in the past dynasties.
The governors of Yanxi all rely on him as their right-hand man, and he is an indispensable figure in Yanxi. The current head of the Wang family, Wang Yue, is known as the greatest scholar in the northwest. He is appointed as the observation envoy of the Yanxi Jiedushi Office and is in charge of the government affairs of Yanxi.
It is one of the giants of Yanxi Digital.
After several string-plucking sounds, the song ended, and only the lingering sound lingered around the beam. Wang Yue, who closed his eyes and lowered his hand to play the piano, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Wang Changtai, who had been standing in front of the pavilion for a long time, and asked in a calm tone.
Said: "Tai'er, is something wrong?"
"Yes, father, the child has heard the news and came here to report to his father." When Wang Changtai saw Wang Yue speak, he hurriedly took a step forward, bowed and saluted.
Since the year before last, Wang Yue has gradually retreated behind the scenes, and Wang Changtai is in charge of all matters in the house. Even the government affairs of Yanxi, Wang Yue has gradually handed over to Wang Changtai. Unless it is a major matter, Wang Changtai can make the decision himself.
Now that Wang Changtai is here, something important must happen. Wang Yue knew this well, but his face was still very calm. He just raised his eyebrows and said calmly.
: "Oh? Tell me."
Wang Changtai bowed and replied: "Yes, father, there was a rumor on the streets this morning that Xiao Wei, the third son of King Xiang, was hooking up with the Liu family and betraying me in Yanxi. Now the people in the city are agitated and there is fear of a big 'chaos'. The child dare not make any decisions without authorization."
I would also like to ask my father to express my gratitude."
"Hmm." Wang Yue said noncommittally, stretched out his hand to lightly pluck the strings, and asked unhurriedly: "What do you think about this?"
"Father, I think this must be someone behind the scenes. However, it may not come out of nowhere. Although the situation in Yanxi is difficult, it is far from the end of the world. And even if something happens to Yanxi,
It is also a family matter. How can we allow outsiders to reach in? The child thinks that the matter must be decided in detail. I wonder what his father wants?" Upon hearing his father's question, Wang Changtai did not dare to neglect and pondered for a moment.
” After that, he carefully expressed what he meant.
"Family affairs? Without a country, how can we have a home?" Wang Yue's eyes flashed, he chuckled, and gave Wang Changtai a dissatisfied look. That look immediately made Wang Changtai blush, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Already.
Wang Yue ignored Wang Changtai's embarrassment and said slowly: "The general trend of the world is that if it unites for a long time, it must divide, and if it divides for a long time, it must unite. From ancient times to the present, there is no exception. Anyone who goes against the trend is contrary. Since you have read many poems and books, don't you understand this principle?
"
"Father taught me a lesson, and the child realized his mistake, but..." When Wang Changtai heard his father's words full of blame, he hurriedly bowed and admitted his mistake, but after thinking about it again, he still couldn't figure out what his father was saying.
He hesitated for a moment, then forced himself to ask: "Father, in my opinion, this turmoil is probably not small. That Xiao Wei may have some talent and learning, but his character is lacking, like this."
How can such a person shoulder the great trust of the imperial court? I think there is something fishy behind these rumors, but I don’t know what position the Wang family should take. I am ignorant and unclear, so I beg my father to make it clear."
"Idiot, since you know that this matter is false, why should you pay attention to it? No matter where you go to get this Yanxi, you will not be able to do it without the help of my Wang family. Why worry about it? Just go down." Wang Yue was very dissatisfied with Wang Changtai's slowness.
, but he also knew that his son was "chaotic" if he cared, so he couldn't bear to criticize him. After giving a few words of advice, he waved his hand to signal Wang Changtai to leave.
"Yes, father, the child understands." When Wang Changtai heard what Wang Yue said, he was determined in his heart. He quickly bowed and was about to retreat. But at this moment, he saw the housekeeper coming in a hurry.
He stopped hurriedly, frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?"
"Master, eldest young master, Xiao Wei, the third son of King Xiang, is here. He is already waiting outside. He said that he made a special trip to visit the master. I don't dare to delay, so I would like to ask the master for permission." The butler left in a hurry, breathing a little.
It was uneven, but as soon as he heard Wang Changtai's words, he didn't even bother to take a breath and hurriedly reported the report.
"Why is he here? Father, look, how about the kid come forward to deal with him?" When Wang Changtai heard that the rumored protagonist actually came to his door, he was immediately stunned. He really didn't want his family to have to deal with that person.
The rumors were related, so he hurriedly made some suggestions.[
"Well, that's fine. I'll go and see him first, and let my father take a look at this person. Maybe I can learn something from him." Wang Yue did not respond immediately, but frowned slightly and thought for a while.
, and then the decision was made.
"I obey, my child." Upon hearing Wang Yue's statement, Wang Changtai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly responded, turned around, and strode towards the front door...
