499. Chapter 499 The Wang family has a wonderful flower
The name "Crazy King" has its origin!
That was when Wang Shouren was 18 or 19 years old. At that time, he was not only full of lofty ideals, offering suggestions to quell chaos, traveling to borders, and having the ambition to manage all directions, but he was also very fascinated by the study of "investigating things to gain knowledge". He read Zhu Xi all over In his writings, he pondered the theory of Song Confucianism that "everything has its appearance, essence, and essence, and every plant and tree has its own principles." One day, he suddenly had a whim and thought that since every plant and tree had its principles, what about the principles in his own home? Bamboo grass should also contain its Tao.
So, he stared at a clump of bamboo at home for three days, wondering about the truth of bamboo. Of course, after staring at a clump of bamboo for three days, he could not understand any truth about heaven and earth from the bamboo. Yes, the results of these three days not only caused him to contract a serious illness and stay in bed for several days, but also earned him the title of "Crazy King".
Of course, there are not many people who can call him this without much sarcasm. Most of them are children of the same generation as him, and the meaning of joking is often greater than sarcasm. Wang Yu was also in his teens at the time, so for this I also look up to the glorious deeds of this dear friend. How crazy must this person be to do such a thing? Of course Wang Yu didn't know that there is a famous saying in later generations: "Only the paranoid can survive." However, in his I have decided in my heart that such a person is either extremely stupid or extremely smart and does not lack perseverance. It is very valuable to have such a person among the children of aristocratic families. The so-called "golden scales are not things in the pond." When the wind and rain happen, he transforms into a dragon!" What they lack is just opportunity. Such people are not mediocre beings, but people who can do great things!
As for the children of aristocratic families, they have much more regard for opportunities than ordinary people.
Wang Shouren's father was the number one scholar. At that time, he was leading the errands of nobles in the Hanlin Academy. The identity of this "child of aristocratic family" was still barely recognized by the young nobles.
"It's you!" Wang Shouren followed two young men who looked a little unfamiliar to him and walked up to the second floor. Wang Yu's very eye-catching figure was difficult to avoid being seen among the young men.
This corner on the second floor has been occupied by these young people. Wang Shouren does not think that these young people, with their luxurious clothes and undisguised arrogance in their eyebrows, are here to discuss business in Sihai Tower.
"Brother Wang! Hee hee!"
"Crazy brother!"
The young men greeted him familiarly and introduced him to the banquet.
"Weren't you sent to the border by Uncle Anding for training?" Wang Shouren still had some impressions of Wang Yu. He took a sip of the hot food and asked strangely. These young people gathered here were probably doing it with them in Beijing. He did not want to get involved in these youthful and frivolous things, so he made up his mind to socialize for a while and then leave immediately.
This is what he has gained from his experience in officialdom over the past few years. If someone he doesn't want to deal with comes in front of him, he will just snort and do whatever he needs to do without worrying about other people's face. of.
"After two years of working around, I have accumulated a little merit, and I have returned to Beijing long ago!" Wang Yu replied nonchalantly.
"By the way, Brother Wang, after I returned to Beijing, I heard that you were involved in some lawsuits not long ago. It was very bloody. What happened next? Now you are not an official but a businessman. You are welcome to this, from Sihailou. When it comes to buying and selling, if you ask, whatever we brothers can take care of, we must take care of and take care of, all of them are our own people, are we still going to let the fat water flow to the fields of outsiders?"
"I really want to do business, but I have to have capital!" Wang Shouren said with a smile. For people outside this circle, these teenagers are difficult to get close to, but when they really integrate into this circle, these teenagers are still easy to talk to, even though they
Sometimes, it was a bit unreliable. For example, they could take care of Wang Shouren's business in the Sihai Building, but he just took it as a courtesy and listened to it.
"Brother Wang is telling a joke again. Wang Shangshu's family doesn't talk about mountains of gold and silver. It's okay to kill hundreds of people with the silver brought out of this warehouse!" Wang Yu smiled. It's easy to talk about kindness.
It's hard to say what happened. He didn't dare to boast about it. If Wang Shouren really wanted to borrow tens of thousands of taels of silver from him, he would be blind.
"I asked you why you came to Nanjing!" Wang Shouren naturally would not chase the other party on embarrassing topics, so he changed the subject and said, "Well, it seems to be from Dingyuan Hou's family!?"
After saying this, Wang Yu remembered to introduce his companions to Wang Shouren. They knew the name of Wang Shouren, the madman, but Wang Shouren did not necessarily know them. After all, Wang Shouren was almost one round older than most of these teenagers.
Face to face is normal.
After the introduction, Wang Shouren greeted them one by one, and then he was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that these dozen young nobles had been in Nanjing for so many days without making any noise or bothering.
If there is any movement, this is really not like their style.
"We are here to do business!" Wang Yu explained Wang Shouren's doubts with a smile, "We are here to do business in our own building. Not to mention that we don't go out to cause trouble, we still want someone to come to us.
There's something going on in the building, and our brothers' bones are almost turning moldy from idleness!"
"Our building? You mean Sihai Building!?"
All the young men nodded in unison, the look of pride on their faces was palpable.
"Bring it here!" Wang Shouren stretched out his hand.
"What to bring!"
"I just sat here for a short while, and you blackmailed me out of two taels of silver. Please pay me back quickly, but I feel so sorry for you!"
The teenagers burst into laughter. Of course, Madman Wang didn't care about the small money. However, this man was really interesting. Even the teenager who had only heard of his name before now started to have a good impression of Wang Shouren.
To be precise, Wang Shouren is a scholar. Unlike nobles like them, scholars can be pretentious, but those guys who have been wielding swords and guns since childhood are the most distasteful. Wang Shouren suddenly satisfied his taste.
"What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? I tell you, don't think that the old man in Brother Wang's family is our grandpa, the number one scholar in Ming Dynasty. Brother Wang is powerless to restrain the chicken. Who is that, the mistress of the Ding family? Do you believe that Brother Wang asked you to
Even one hand can knock you down!"
"Just brag, and I will listen seriously!" The young lady of the Ding family sneered.
"Xiaosan, you really don't believe it!" Wang Yu shook his head: "In the past, Brother Wang went to the border to travel, and he met a robber on the road. He killed the leader of the thief alive and scared off the thieves. Brother Wang is the same as us.
, I have also been practicing martial arts since I was a child, but I also studied at the same time, well, it seems that this is called having both civil and military skills!"
The young men looked at Wang Shouren, and they were a little confused. Didn't Madman Wang come to Sihai Tower on purpose to stir up hatred? His father is the Minister of War in Nanjing, and he is also both civil and military. Such a comparison? Damn! The young man was immediately stunned.
I feel that my family background and skills that I am proud of are not so proud anymore!
"I heard that Sihailou is a business in the palace. Why are you still involved? His Majesty authorized it?" Wang Shouren smiled, calm and calm. Regarding the surprise of the young people, he just pretended that they didn't see it.
Just like an adult showing how powerful he is in front of a child, it is meaningless to show these things in front of these young people who are not familiar with the world.
"That's natural!" Wang Yu explained the relationship between himself and Sihai Tower in a few words, and then somewhat repeated his previous remarks: "Really, Brother Wang, if you need our brothers' care, please tell me
Just one click, and it’s considered our own business!”
"That's not necessary!" Wang Shouren nodded: "Now that I am serving in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this business is a luxury for me. But you guys, please give me a break in Nanjing.
I don’t want to be sued in the Metropolitan Procuratorate every day!”
"Oh!" Wang Yu was relieved, and all the young men were relieved. This is normal.
"Master Qian has given instructions a long time ago. Don't worry, as long as no one makes trouble for our Sihai Tower, there is probably nothing difficult for us brothers to do!" Wang Yu chuckled: "But, we really need someone.
Don't open your eyes and make trouble for us. Mr. Qian is here, and I guess nothing that can embarrass you will happen! Mr. Qian handles things neatly and quickly!"
"Master Qian?"
"Jinyiwei is acting as commander, Lord Qian Wubing!" Wang Yu said: "If I have a chance, I'll introduce you to him. Lord Qian is very kind to others, but he has too many things to do, and it's hard to catch him easily!
"
"Qian Wubing, Qian Yizhi!" Wang Shouren laughed, a little happy: "There is no need for an introduction. Mr. Qian you mentioned is an old acquaintance of mine. I gave him his cousin's name!"
The young men looked at Wang Shouren as if they were monsters. What was the meaning of giving someone a cousin's name? Even the most ignorant among them knew that there was a sudden silence in this corner.
"It's really...it's true that the real person doesn't show his face!" After a long time, the Ding family's mistress seemed to mutter to herself: "Crazy Wang is crazy Wang, and his actions are always so unexpected!"
"Since we are talking about your Lord Qian, I happen to have nothing to do today, so let's go and visit him. You just said that you came to Nanjing with him. I wonder where he is stationed at this moment?" Wang Shouren stood.
He got up, looked around, and said to Wang Yu.
When he was in jail, he and Qian Wubing didn't have many topics to talk about, but after going through the Sihai Tower and his party, there seemed to be a lot of topics for him and himself to talk about. Wang Shouren was very concerned about the situation at this moment.
Qian Wubing really has a lot of curiosity in his heart.
"I just said, Lord Qian has a lot of things going on, and it's not easy to catch him!" Wang Yu blinked his little eyes and said, "Brother Wang, it's such an unlucky time for you to come. Lord Qian just went there two days ago.
