Chapter 979 Husband and wife both go to the wedding banquet
"No?"
"Then what do you mean by your repeated doubts about me and the source of this information?"
"Before this, it's not like we didn't work hard. You also know that in Beifu, those people brought by Wang Zhiyuan were all very carefully guarded. They couldn't insert needles or splash water. It's not like we hadn't thought about it before.
Is the method useful?"
Having said this, Yin Zhongkan lowered his head, and Wang Gong could only sigh.
Strictly speaking, if it weren't for Xi Hui's efforts, even Wang Gong would have given up on inserting spies in Beifu before this.
Because there is no way to get close to the core level of Beifu, the current reality is that compared to others, Yuan Fei is indeed the best candidate and the only candidate.
He was originally a popular figure around Beifu General Liu Laozhi, and Liu Laozhi had now reconciled with Wang Mi and others. For Wang Gong, this was actually a good thing.
If Liu Laozhi still keeps a distance from young generals like Liu Yu and others, then even if Yuan Fei is closer to Liu Laozhi, he will not be able to obtain a lot of core information.
However, things are different now.
Liu Laozhi can also join Liu Yu's group, so Yuan Fei who is following him can naturally get useful information.
Such advantages cannot be replaced by anyone.
Besides, there are no other candidates at all now. If you don't accept Yuan Fei's news, what else do you want?
"alright!"
"Stop fighting."
"I believe that Yuan Fei's information is still very reliable. If you don't trust the people you use, you don't use the people you suspect. Only by keeping close contact can we get the trends in Jingkou faster."
"That's a good thing too."
"On the contrary, today's news, take a look at what we should do. Does this mean that Wang Zhiyuan is still evil?"
"Jingzhou and Beifu still intend to unite?"
In fact, there is no need for Wang Gong to clarify this at all. Isn’t this all stated on the surface? How can there be any lies in the complete facts?
"The two sides want to unite. This is something we have already judged. For so many years, the Jingzhou Department has been dishonest. Now that Beifu has gradually escaped from the control of the imperial court, the two sides will naturally come together."
"I think the most important thing is Xie An's thoughts. Don't you think Xie An's thoughts are also important?"
"Beifu does not belong to Wang Zhiyuan's family, and Xie An will never sit back and let Beifu change his surname to Wang!"
yes!
Where is Xie An?
For a long time, Xie An did not make any remarks about the affairs of Beifu, and even did not even go to court.
People from both the government and the public had to visit him if they wanted to see him.
"I remember that when we jointly participated in the impeachment of Wang Zhiyuan a few days ago, Xie An didn't say anything, right?" Suddenly, Wang Gong had an idea and remembered something very important.
Xi Hui immediately responded. In fact, he had discovered it a long time ago, but no one mentioned it, so he didn't dare to speak.
Yin Zhongkan's eyes focused: "It seems that Xie An doesn't want to care about the life and death of his good grandson-in-law. His position is very interesting."
"I have an idea. How about we send someone to find out what Xie An thinks?"
Yin Zhongkan looked at his two friends, who were now staring at him eagerly.
Is there anyone more suitable for this candidate than you?
Have it?
On the other hand, if you think about it, Wang Gong is the minister of the imperial court, and he is obviously at odds with Xie An, especially if he dislikes Beifu. It is impossible for him to go directly to see Xie An.
Xie An will never give him a good look, so what about Xi Hui?
There is no need to have any expectations.
I have always been a hot-tempered person, and it is simply too difficult for me to do something like this that requires patience and tact.
Yin Zhongkan is standing here, do you still have any questions?
Who else?
"All right!"
"Then let me go!"
"But Aning, if Xie An really has other thoughts, what are you going to do?"
"Join with the Xie family to overthrow Wang Mi?"
Yin Zhongkan's caution is reflected here. If it were Xi Hui, he would probably go to the Xie Mansion to discuss it right now.
I never thought about the purpose to be achieved and what the consequences would be.
It's all about loyalty directing the brain. Similarly, Yin Zhongkan will not act impulsively. At such an important moment, some things must be agreed in advance.
And only Wang Gong can control the future direction.
"There is no need to reveal this meaning now. After all, we also have conflicts with Xie An. We cannot unite together overnight. This time you go mainly to explore Xie An's tone."
"If he has this intention, he will naturally reveal his intentions."
"I see."
With Wang Mi's instructions, Yin Zhongkan understood how far this matter would go.
"Then when will we go?"
"It's not like back then, when Wang Zhiyuan was in Jiankang. We went to find Xie An. If he found out, it wouldn't be good." It was during this time when everyone was working together that other people's wits also stimulated Xi Hui.
Mr. Xi's IQ immediately rose.
"This is easy to handle."
Yin Zhongkan, who had always been rigorous, seemed very relaxed at the moment.
“Time is easy to find.”
"You know, Wang Zhiyuan's good friend He Wuji is going to take a concubine in the next few days. They are all brothers who made their fortune together from Jingkou. At this time, they will definitely come to congratulate him."
"When they get together, we can go find Xie An, right?"
Xie An is the elder, so he will naturally not participate in the marriage of the younger generation. It is certain that at this time, he must be sitting around at home and has quite a lot of time.
"But Wang Zhiyuan will come to your door for such a trivial matter as taking a concubine? He has been busy in the workshop every day recently, so I'm afraid he doesn't have time."
In Wang Gong's eyes, such a trivial matter as taking a concubine was simply insignificant, and even banquets were not necessary.
Isn’t that just a matter of words?
You can just wave your hand and accept it. Why not hold a banquet? It is not arty and a waste of money.
Xi Hui shook his head and said seriously: "Otherwise."
"Do you know who the concubine He Wuji took?"
Xi Hui deliberately betrayed him, but Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan showed contempt at the same time.
Since she is just a concubine, she must not be a serious person, so who can know?
"I heard that that woman is the brothel courtesan Wang Zhiyuan brought back from Xuzhou, her name is Luzhu!"
Is there such a thing?
Don't bully your friends' wives. These two brothers have a lot of fun.
"So, whenever He Wuji wants to hold a banquet, Wang Mi will definitely attend, and maybe he will stay for a long time. I heard that Wang Mi wanted to accept this green pearl because of the lady's arrival.
There was a big fuss in He's house before he gave up."
"Since I can't take it, I can only give it to my brother, which is reasonable." Yin Zhongkan pondered for a moment and felt that this strategy was feasible.
"In this case, I will visit Xie An on the day of the banquet."
"And you, Aqi, might as well go to the banquet. There are good wines and delicious food, why don't you join in the fun?"
"You said you let me go?" Xi Hui pointed at himself, shaking his head like a rattle.
"I can't!"
"Why not?"
"If a high-ranking member of the imperial court like you goes to congratulate him in person, can they kick you out?"
"That's not true. However, I'm not from the same group as them. It would be too strange to visit them rashly. Wouldn't that attract attention?"
Yin Zhongkan is not afraid of any problems with his personal safety, he is just more shameless.
Wang Mi, He Wuji and others were all Beifu generals who started their careers in Jingkou, and were of similar age. It was normal for them to get together at this time.
Not to mention that Yin Zhongkan and the others couldn't urinate in the same pot, even those doglegs who crowded in front of the palace gate every day, waiting to pay a visit to Wang Mi, would not join in the fun when encountering such a situation.
Yin Zhongkan was in a dilemma, but Wang Gong took it for granted.
"How can you compare with them? You are in our group. Wang Mi and the others are also paying attention to you. As soon as you arrive, I guarantee that you will catch their attention immediately."
"This is the effect I want."
"Think about it, as long as they only focus on you, they won't change their focus and focus on the actions of the two of us. Isn't this great?"
"The most you can do is to hurt a little face, so that doesn't matter. As long as you think that as long as we accomplish these things, we can bring down Wang Zhiyuan and bring him great misfortune, you can endure any suffering.
.”
Wang Gong talked so eloquently and so simply, as if he was the one who was going to He Mansion to embarrass himself next.
"But I still feel..."
"There is no but, you are the most suitable person. If you don't go, who else can you let go?"
"Me?" Xi Hui came up to join in the fun with a loud voice. Yin Zhongkan looked at him desperately: "Then I'll go."
If Yin Zhongkan goes away, it will not only be embarrassing but also fail to accomplish anything. Wouldn't that be even more of a waste?
Lao Yin can only endure the humiliation and bear the burden!
A few days later, Wang Shilang specially finished all the things at home and in the workshop, freeing up a day.
There is certainly no reason to shirk He Wuji's banquet. Moreover, since he returned to Jiankang, he has been busy and has not been able to have fun for a long time.
This time is the opportunity.
Xie Minghui pestered Wang Mi as soon as she got up in the morning. Yingying whispered softly and pestered Wang Mi to take her with her.
If this were in modern times, of course it would be easy to do, and there would be no need for Xie Minghui to be so entangled.
Isn't it natural for husband and wife to attend a good friend's wedding together? What's more, everyone has known each other before.
But that was modern times. In ancient times, the situation was completely different.
First, strictly speaking, a wedding cannot be called a wedding. After all, it is not a monogamy. It is just a concubine. There is no set of procedures like three matchmakers and six betrothals. It is just a banquet to let everyone know about it. Picture
A lively one.
The second is that although the folk customs in the late Jin Dynasty were fierce and social life was relatively chaotic, there was still a lot of control over married women.
If Xie Minghui were an unmarried girl today, it would be very common for her to walk around and have banquets in Jiankang City.
But now that her identity is different, she is a wife, and this restriction is even greater than before.
If he didn't beg Wang Mi desperately, he probably wouldn't be able to go anywhere.
"How about it?"
"Take me with you!"
"They are all acquaintances, and I want to go too."
"But when we are together, we have to have wine. Isn't it strange that you are sitting next to me? Besides, there are no girls in Amai's house, and no one can accompany you." Wang Mi was very embarrassed.
Of course she knew why Xie Minghui wanted to join in the fun, but she couldn't say that he wouldn't be prepared to reveal it unless she said it herself.
"snort!"
"How dare you say that!"
"You men, aren't you all so virtuous? You become heartless when you see a beautiful woman. Wasn't Luzhu your lover originally? Why did you suddenly become Wuji's concubine?"
"She is an orphan, and she has no one to rely on when she comes to Jiankang City. This is the only way she can take. Although she comes from a humble background, I have never looked down on her. If you ask me, it's disgusting.
It’s you men.”
"It's probably that He Wuji had already been thinking about the green pearl when he was on the road and coveted it wholeheartedly, and you were so tightly controlled by me that you didn't dare to take a concubine. He thought that you didn't have that intention after all, so he decided to
Get started."
"You guys, this is bullying!"
"It's taking advantage of the situation!"
Thinking of what happened before, Xie Minghui couldn't suppress the fire in her stomach. She jumped up and closed her clothes, not even wanting to look at Wang Mi's face.
Lao Wang simply died unjustly.
What is this for?
What did he do wrong again?
"Madam, if you say this, you are wronging a good person!"
"It's not my fault that Madam Lvzhu is interested in me. I have never seduced her. You also know this. You approved it before, but why have you changed your mind now?"
"As for Wuji, I haven't been to He's house these days. To be honest, I don't know what he thinks. He suddenly wants to marry Luzhu, but this is not a bad thing, is it?"
"Lvzhu was originally from Xuzhou. When she arrived in Jiankang City, she was not familiar with the place. Not only today but also in the future, she will always have to find a family for her."
"Look around and see if there is anyone more suitable than Wuji in Jiankang City?"
"In terms of family status, the He family of Lujiang is not bad at all. In terms of character, he is one of the best. Right, he is still his brother."
"That's right, the wealth should not flow to outsiders." As soon as Xie Minghui opened her mouth, she was beaten with sticks, and Wang Mi was immediately blinded again.
"How can you understand it so well?"
"Madam, don't you still want to go to the banquet? When you get to the banquet, you can't say this, as if you are the wife I, Wang Zhiyuan, don't want, and I have given it to Wuji."
"Wuji and Luzhu clearly became a couple voluntarily and have nothing to do with me. If you say this at a banquet, the host will be angry."
When Wang Mi said this, Xie Minghui could only become so angry that she stopped talking.
Wang Mi then continued: "Madam, this is a good thing. We should thank Wuji. If he hadn't acted righteously, would you still be keeping an eye on Lvzhu?"
"Who is staring at her?" Xie Minghui looked away.
“Stop being so sentimental!”
Look, you still don’t admit it.
Wang Mi smiled and said: "How can I know what you are thinking? You said that the green pearl has never been found. Aren't you worried?"
"What if one day I get lustful and go to Na He's house to take her home? What will you do? Can you swallow this breath?"
"Perhaps, in order to deal with Lu Zhu as soon as possible, you will personally help her find a groom. Isn't it just right now?"
"Wuji helped us resolve this matter before you even took action. We, the couple, should give him a big gift and thank him properly."
