Chapter 354: Pretending to be in front of a real boss
"It's natural. If Mr. Lang can enter the Wuying Palace in the future, let alone Xiangyang, there will be few aristocratic families in the entire Dragon Kingdom who can compare with him."
Seeing Wang Jin boasting, Jia Xi hurriedly said again.
In fact, he had not been so complimentary to the Wang family a few days ago, but since he learned that even Luo Yun, the governor of Xiangyang, was coming to celebrate in person, he could no longer act like a county magistrate.
For a second-grade governor to behave like this only shows that the eldest son of the Wang family has a very high status in Wuying Palace.
That way, all the compliments and flattery are worth it.
As for whether Wang Jin can also join the famous Wuying Palace as an errand, it is very possible.
Although Wang Jin is just a dandy with no real credentials, but with such a big brother here, who can say for sure?
"By the way, Second Young Master, I wonder where your brother has gone? Can you go to Xiaguan and send someone to pick him up?"
After a pause, Jia Xi said again.
"My eldest brother? He won't arrive in Jianping County until later today. You and I will go there to greet him. As expected... Governor Luo Yun of Xiangyang will also greet him at the city gate."
Wang Jin waved his hand.
Before half-burning the incense, he had asked the housekeeper to report his eldest brother's itinerary to the official post office.
The governor of Xiangyang can only have face when he goes out to greet him. A county magistrate alone is not enough.
"It turns out that this is the case...it's because the official didn't think carefully!"
"It doesn't matter! Just watch the ceremony quietly tomorrow."
"yes!"
........
On the official road,
There were not many ordinary people and merchants on the official road to and from Xiangyang. The people here did not know that a major event involving the honor and disgrace of the Long Kingdom had just happened at Ruyang Pass not long ago. They were very peaceful.
Only a convoy of several horse-drawn carriages was traveling at a slightly hasty pace.
"Young Master, the Second Young Master just sent news that Governor Ruyang has also arrived in Jianping County. He may have to help the Young Master tonight. What should we do?"
After a while, an old man dressed as a butler came to the carriage in the middle and said anxiously.
"What? Luo Yun? Governor of Xiangyang Luo Yun?"
Upon hearing the report, the curtain of the carriage was instantly raised, and a warrior in his thirties leaned out as if he had been frightened.
This person is none other than Wang Jin’s proud eldest brother, Wang Yuan!
"Sir, it is this person!"
"He...how did he know the news? He...he is a direct descendant of the emperor, a high official of the second rank of the imperial court...not an ordinary prefect of the fifth or sixth rank."
Unconsciously, a lot of cold sweat broke out on Wang Yuan's forehead.
"It is said that the second young master made a special trip to Xiangyang to send the housekeeper to invite Luo Yun. What should the young master do now?"
The housekeeper also wiped his cold sweat.
Without it,
People in my hometown thought that their son Wang Yuan was in a highly respected position as a servant in Wuying Hall, but in fact this was not the case at all.
His young master was just an ordinary steward in charge of the handymen in the Wuying Palace. In essence, he was still a handyman and was not considered a palace official at all. He reluctantly bought a small courtyard outside Ruyang and just settled down.
The reason why I said that to my family was entirely for my own sake.
Anyway, outsiders don’t know the difference between the ordinary clerks and the priests of Wuying Palace.
This time, he said he was returning to his hometown to visit relatives, but in fact, he happened to be passing through Jianping County on a shopping trip from Wuyingdian.
With such an identity, it was possible to put on airs in front of Jianping County Magistrate, but in front of Luo Yun...
"Luo Yun, who went to invite him in person? The result is more than enough success! Who is Luo Yun? He is a direct descendant of His Majesty. Even the palace master has to give him some face. If this matter reaches the palace master...
.Am I not..."
Zhang Yuan was sweating more and more.
If a handyman from Wuying Palace dared to make a show of asking the Governor of Xiangyang to greet him, it was almost unnecessary to even think about what would happen.
He did not believe that the Governor of Xiangyang would travel hundreds of miles to Jianping County to give him a small handyman job to give him face.
"Young Master, should we send another message to the Second Young Master quickly?"
The butler swallowed nervously.
"How to spread the news? It's not said that Luo Yun has arrived in Jianping County. Is it possible to drive him away again? Do I dare?"
Wang Yuan was so angry that he rubbed his eyebrows.
I originally wanted to pretend it, but now...I pretended it directly in front of the real boss.
"That......"
"Well, now that the matter is over, I can only go and see this Luo Yun. Maybe he has other things to do when he comes to Jianping, and he just goes to the palace as a side trip!
At worst, I will go back to Wuying Hall to apologize.
After all, I am also a member of Wuyingdian, and any mistakes should be handled by Wuyingdian, not the Governor of Xiangyang."
After thinking hard for a long time, Wang Yuan couldn't come up with any good solution.
You can't turn around and go back to Ruyang at this time, that would be even worse!
"I hope so!"
For a moment, both master and servant were silent.
The original mood of happily going home to visit relatives and pretending to be a big boss suddenly hit rock bottom and turned into a worry.
...
The night is getting darker,
Jianping County, Guanyi, Luo Yun, who was in a good mood, had just finished his meal.
"Brother, the palace just sent a butler to send news."
While resting, Luo Kong appeared at the door.
"What's up?"
Luo Yun frowned.
An hour ago, he had ordered several of his subordinates to inquire about the reputation of the Wang family in the county. This inquiry did not matter, Luo Yun immediately sentenced the Wang family to death in his heart.
Horizontal domineering, in the land of fish and meat, robbing women of the people, no matter what, it is a felony.
"The Second Young Master Wang said that his eldest brother Wang Yuanhai will arrive at the gate of Jianping County around 10:00, and he hopes that we can greet him at the gate."
Luo Kong's lips curled up in disdain.
The royal family's pedigree was getting bigger and bigger, and even a second-rank official from the Dragon Kingdom was asked to go to the city gate to greet him. Those who didn't know it thought the Wang family had become the prime minister of the dynasty.
"Who else?"
"And Jia Xi, the magistrate of Jianping County!"
"Jia Xi? Humph! If that's the case, then tell the housekeeper that we will go to the city gate on time to greet Wang Yuan."
He raised his eyebrows,
Luo Yun said coldly.
If I hadn't wanted to see if there was any other background behind Wang Yuan, I wouldn't have waited until tomorrow.
"Okay, big brother!"
Luo Kong nodded slightly, but just when he turned to leave, he suddenly thought of something and stopped immediately.
"Brother, tomorrow is the day when Wang Jin marries Xiaoman. Should we wait in the county palace, or?"
He had already found out clearly about the identities of Xiaoman and Lin Dong.
"No! We will take the Wang family directly to Xiaolin Village tomorrow."
When it came to business, Luo Yun shook his head slightly.
"Going to Xiaolin Village?"
Luo Kong had a meal.
"Well, Lin Dong is His Majesty's personal disciple, and Miss Xiaoman is also His Majesty's savior. Nothing can happen to them!"
"Brother is afraid that they won't be able to think about it?"
"Yes, the Wang family is a big family in Jianping County. For ordinary people, it is a mountain that is difficult to shake. What if the little barbarian girl has a strong personality and can't think about it for a while?"
"Too!"
"In this way, you will secretly send a few guards to Xiaolin Village first. You are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."
