Chapter 407: Goodbye Wang Xiangzhen
When Chen Xiaoting arrived at Wang Xiangzhen's mansion, the other party was already waiting for him at the door.
After getting off the horse, Chen Xiaoting stepped forward and said first: "Commander Wang, it's late to come down, don't blame you!" ”
Wang Xiangzhen couldn't help but smile, and then said: "Chen Baihu is polite, brother, I can wait for you to have lunch, please!" ”
In fact, Chen Xiaoting really didn't have time to eat, so he said: "Brother, you are really bothered, I have to eat you again today!" ”
Then the two of them entered the mansion, which had already been prepared.
After sitting down, there are delicious delicacies on the table immediately, but Chen Xiaoting is also a person with status now, so he will not be in a hurry to move his chopsticks.
In fact, he changed this, thanks to Shen Yi's subtle influence on him, there are rules for everything from a big family.
After waiting for the dishes to be served, in addition to Chen Xiaoting and Wang Xiangzhen, there were only two maidservants waiting in the room at this time.
After the maidservant was full of wine, Wang Xiangzhen raised her glass and said: "Lord Chen, Wang's first glass of wine, I salute you to a hundred households!" ”
A commander respects 100 households, which seems a bit funny on paper, but Chen Xiaoting's identity as a 100 households really needs Wang Xiangzhen's respect.
This time, Wang Xiangzhen made a special trip to invite Chen Xiaoting over, also to promote the relationship between the two.
Although the prison guard has always been a person from Dongchang, Wang Xiangzhen cannot guarantee that Chen Xiaoting will not do anything behind his back.
Therefore, for each of the hundreds of households, Wang Xiangzhen will do his best to win over, and this is the reason why there are many friends and multiple roads.
Immediately, the two drank their first glass of wine.
Wang Xiangzhen has a friendship with an eye, but Chen Xiaoting is not like this.
After putting down the wine glass, Chen Xiaoting spoke: "Lord Wang, we are also friends in trouble, you don't have to be too polite!" ”
"Back then, the eunuch Huang Ting and Huang Gonggong were stabbed, but it was you and I who joined forces to get through this crisis!"
Wang Xiangzhen still remembers this old incident mentioned by Chen Xiaoting, and he almost capsized in this incident back then.
But just when Wang Xiangzhen was about to sigh, he heard Chen Xiaoting continue: "Lord Wang, those meticulous works outside the customs back then really scared me!" ”
"Brother, why am I not like this, at that time, we worked together to calm down this matter!" Wang Xiangzhen said in a deep voice.
But Chen Xiaoting shook his head and said: "Lord Wang has promoted Chen, if you hadn't been arrested by the whole city at that time, it would have been so easy to dig out these spies!" ”
"It can be seen that Lord Wang, you are very good at dealing with spies outside the Guan!" Chen Xiaoting still said in a deep voice.
Speaking of this, Wang Xiangzhen began to mumble in her heart, Chen Xiaoting had to put on a top hat for himself, indicating that he must ask for something.
So Wang Xiangzhen said modestly: "Lord Chen has praised it falsely, come and ...... Let's drink! ”
Chen Xiaoting also picked up his wine glass, but he didn't clink glasses with Wang Xiangzhen, but sighed: "Lord Wang, there are also difficult things in the future!" ”
Chen Xiaoting said this, how could Wang Xiangzhen only care about drinking, so he could only ask: "The lord of Cheng is a hundred households, and he is in charge of the position of overseer, what is the difficulty?" ”
Chen Xiaoting picked it up and said: "Before this official came to Guangde, Lord Qianhu specially explained that I must clear the Hu people in Guangde Mansion, how difficult it is!" ”
Wang Xiangzhen finally knew Chen Xiaoting's purpose, so he said: "It turns out that Brother Chen is worried about this, if there is anything you need my brother's help with, just mention it!" ”
What he wanted was this sentence, and Chen Xiaoting was no longer polite, and even said: "Most of the fine works are mixed in the business travel of Luoyun Pass, and Lord Wang's soldiers and horses are guarding Luoyun Pass, as long as the inspection is strengthened, it will be able to suppress the arrogance of the Hu people's spies!" ”
Should this request be granted? The answer to this question is the only one for Wang Xiangzhen, and he must agree.
Because this is not only Chen Xiaoting asking him for help, but also his Wang Xiangzhen's duty, if he doesn't agree, he is asking for trouble for himself.
So Wang Xiangzhen said briskly: "Don't worry, Lord Chen, these are trivial matters, brother, I will order it!" ”
"In addition, if you receive any news in advance, brother, I will also greet you in advance!"
If you want to do it, you can do it for twelve minutes, Wang Xiangzhen is such a person, so it is easy to make friends.
I saw Chen Xiaoting raise his glass and say, "Thank you, Lord Wang, let's drink!" ”
The two clinked glasses gently, so that this second glass of wine really went down to their stomachs.
The atmosphere at the next wine table was obviously a lot more relaxed, but because they were all on official business, they didn't dare to drink too much wine.
Chen Xiaoting told Wang Xiangzhen about the difficulty of fighting the White Lotus Sect, and Wang Xiangzhen also complained about the pressure of defending Luoyun Pass, which often passed through the Hu army within two hundred miles outside the pass.
After eating and drinking, the two decided to go out for a walk, leaving the place to be cleaned up by the maidservants.
While talking and walking, the two soon came to the back garden of Wang's house, and Wang Xiangzhen also set up a study for himself in this quiet place.
"Brother Chen, I'm not afraid of your jokes, brother, I have nothing to do on weekdays, and I have learned from those sour Confucians!" Wang Xiangzhen laughed at herself.
After entering the study, there are not many books on the shelves, but there are many exquisite antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as some porcelain and jade.
This reminded Chen Xiaoting of the treasure house of Chen Benxian's family back then, and that time he raided the house, but he ate the Jinyi Guards up and down.
Chen Xiaoting also had itchy hands, and when he saw the jade ruyi on the shelf, he immediately pointed at it and said, "Lord Wang, this thing looks priceless!" ”
Chen Xiaoting was about to touch it with his hand, but he heard Wang Xiangzhen's tone anxious: "Don't ......"
Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but turn around and asked, "Lord Wang, can't you touch this thing?" ”
Maybe because of his weak heart, Wang Xiangzhen's expression looked a little unnatural, but he still said: "No, it's just that this thing is valuable, brother, I'm afraid I will accidentally break it!" ”
Chen Xiaoting smiled, and then said, "Lord Wang, don't worry, you will be careful in the future, wouldn't it be a pity if you don't see one or two of these treasures?" ”
Then, Chen Xiaoting carefully picked up the jade Ruyi and took it to his eyes to look at it carefully.
Chen Xiaoting has also gained a lot of knowledge over the years, so he didn't look at Ruyi for a while, and then found something wrong.
This thing has to be obviously used by the queen, how can it be placed in Wang Xiangzhen's house?
But before he could ask, Wang Xiangzhen stepped forward to take Ruyi, and then said with a smile: "Okay, okay, what's so beautiful about this thing, brother, you should go and see the gift I prepared for you!" ”
Although he had doubts in his heart, Chen Xiaoting had already practiced the ability to hide his thoughts, so at this time he held back the doubts in his heart.
So Chen Xiaoting smiled: "Oh? I don't know what kind of treasure it is? ”
Wang Xiangzhen put Ruyi back, and then said: "You can just go with me to see it, and you will definitely be satisfied, brother!" ”
Then, the two went out of the study, and Chen Xiaoting didn't look back, just like a nobody.
Wang Xiangzhen has a problem, this is a fact that Chen Xiaoting has always admitted, and just now he seems to have come into contact with a little truth.
But the truth is only the tip of the iceberg, what is going on Chen Xiaoting is still not clear, but what he has next is time.
In the end, Chen Xiaoting was taken to the stable of the Houfu, and it turned out that Wang Xiangzhen wanted to give him a good horse.
According to Wang Xiangzhen, the horse was purchased by a certain businessman, Zhongjin, from Guanwai, but he was detained on the charge of selling military horses without permission, and now he plans to give it to Chen Xiaoting.
I have to say that this horse is very much liked by Chen Xiaoting, so he naturally chose to laugh.
If he didn't accept it, Chen Xiaoting was worried that Wang Xiangzhen would think too much.
