Chapter 184: The soldiers are coming
Sending away the servants of the Wang family, Fang Yingwu thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reasonable. The real goal of Lu Chen, the political envoy of the right, is here, and the affairs of the Wang family are just a medium, but what is there for him to worry about?
If there is a definite direction, many things can be explained quickly. Fang Yingwu quickly thought that he had the identity of a student of Shang Xianggong, which was probably Lu Chen's purpose.
Lu Chen Jihua used some small means to drive Boss Ning Zhishi out of power, so that he could smoothly take over the position of Zuo Bu's political envoy. But Mr. Ning was supported by Shang Xianggong in the past years, and Lu Chen was unwilling to tear his face with Shang Xianggong, a local tycoon with high prestige and the possibility of reinstatement, so he wanted to ease the relationship through other parties?
I have to say that although Fang Yingwu has never met this Lu Chen and Lu Bu's political envoy so far, Fang Yingwu has already figured out some of the temperaments of this Lord Lu through two things - this must be a very gloomy person, and he must also be a person who likes to manipulate power tricks
The first thing was that the sea pond project led by the political envoy Si Ning was too urgent, resulting in heavy forced labor, and the local people were extremely dissatisfied.
That's not all, anyone can do such a thing. But after the trouble, he didn't make a mess in the political envoy department, but he clashed with the Weaving Bureau and burned the silk transport car of the Weaving Bureau, which was more insidious.
This yin is burning the fire to the town guard eunuch, and the matter is completely out of the control of the political envoy, and Lord Ning is powerless to calm the situation.
And the most important thing is that if the people only make trouble with the political envoys, they will not have too many ideas with their current indifference and irresponsible mentality -- anyway, it will be the chaos of your civil and official yamen.
However, the troublemakers caused by the political envoy burned the car of the Weaving Bureau directly under Ouchi. After the report of the eunuch who guarded the town, the Son of Heaven who felt that his private property had been violated would definitely be dissatisfied with Lord Ning.
From the beginning to the end, the right-hand political envoy Lord Lu did not show up. Not a word was said either, but the best results were achieved. At the same time, it will not make Shilin feel that it is Lord Lu who is fighting for power and attacking his boss. Everything is the fault of the eunuch Li Yi, and Lord Lu's reputation will not be lost in the slightest.
The second thing is the matter of the Wang family, if it weren't for the eunuch Li Gonggong who lost his breath under the deterrence of Wang Zhiming, he Yingwu really couldn't be sure that it was Lord Lu who was making trouble, which was not expected at all.
It can be imagined that the Wang family is at a loss in the face of the difficulties of the Weaving Bureau, and there is no good way for the other party to be a relatively close villager, after all, the eunuch system and the scholar system are two different things.
At this time, Lord Lu came forward to take the initiative to show goodwill. And helped resolve the difficulties of the Weaving Bureau, so how can he have a little affection. This kind of trick first and then pull a hand is really yin.
Besides, if Lord Lu wants to invite him directly, then he must avoid it, but if the Lu Mansion invites him through the Wang family, it will be difficult to refuse.
However, no one thought that Fang Yingwu could directly see the eunuch guarding the town, and Lord Lu would never have imagined it, let alone that Fang Yingwu could guess the truth by mistake.
Gossip aside. Originally, Fang Yingwu had no interest in this banquet tomorrow night, after all, the relationship between him and the political envoy Ning Lao was naturally close, and it was a time when the relationship between the two political envoys from the left and right of the province was tense, so he rashly ate and drank with the people of the Lu family. Maybe it will cause something unnecessary.
Moreover, after seeing through Lord Lu's unscrupulous and unscrupulous temperament, Fang Yingwu had a kind of idea of staying away. I really don't like to deal with this kind of person.
Anyway, whether they go or not, they will automatically sell well to the Wang family. And help the Wang family tide over the difficulties, Zuihou's face still has to fall on his head. When the time comes, it's time to see the moves.
In the evening of spring, the lights are on, the night market in Hangzhou is opened, the flow of people is like the day, and many foreign guests who pass by here in a row also come to join in the fun.
Standing not far from the canal wharf, the proud building is a well-known restaurant in the Beiguan area, and its name is probably taken from the meaning of "life must be happy".
It is not the first time that Wang De, a businessman from Chun'an, has come to Deyi Lou, and he has socialized here seven or eight times in the past two years, but this time he is really excited, because he is about to discuss business with the political envoy Lu Fu.
Although he didn't quite know that Lufu Weishenme would take the initiative to find him and purchase silk from him, Wang De felt that he had been in business for two years and had also made a little famous in the Beiguan area, and it was not surprising that he attracted guests to the door.
The dignified marrying of a daughter from a second-grade adult, the dowry and extravagance will definitely not be less, maybe you have to buy hundreds of silk and silk yarn in one go, which is not a small deal.
But what makes Wang De even more excited is that this will be the most haode demonstration, and it is an extremely rare demonstration. Even the dignified political envoy used his Wang De's silk at home, which was extremely lustful, and the advertising benefits contained in it could not be underestimated.
Good news, definitely good news, and even more rare good news since the recent series of bad news! Since Wang De came to Hangzhou to do business, this is one of the most Haode development opportunities he has encountered.
It is said that the steward of the Lu Mansion invited Wang De in a post, and the steward of the Lu Mansion should arrive early, and Wang De can be a little late. But Mr. Wang didn't think so, he was afraid of neglecting the customer, so he came to the proud building early and waited at the gate.
In the excitement and apprehension, Wang De didn't know how long he had waited, and finally saw a servant who was leading the way with a lantern from the landing mansion appeared.
Wang De hurriedly greeted him, made a deep bow to the people behind the lantern, and said loudly: "Isn't it Tang Guotang who is in charge!" ”
Two people flashed out from behind the lantern, one was dressed as a middle-aged scribe and did not speak; And another capable man in his thirties returned the salute slightly: "It is here, Your Excellency is the king?" ”
In the face of large customers who may bring huge profits to himself, Wang De's posture was very low, and he said continuously: "Exactly, exactly, there is a long way to go!" Inside please! ”
Steward Tang didn't move, but said to the middle-aged scribe next to him, "Mr. Zhang, let's go?" The man known as Mr. Zhang looked left and right for a moment, frowned, and said, "Why don't you see Fang Friend?" ”
Steward Tang immediately turned his head sideways and asked Wang De, "Where is Fang Yingwu's friend?" In the next post, it is clearly written, entrusting Wang Yuanwai to invite friends to come here? ”
Wang De was stunned, to be honest, he was always full of his own business, and he didn't think of anything. So he didn't care if Fang Yingwu arrived or not, if it wasn't for the other party mentioning it, he would have forgotten that he had invited Fang Yingwu.
Steward Tang and Mr. Zhang looked at Wang De's expression, and also knew that Fang Yingwu must not be there, Mr. Zhang said to Steward Tang: "If Friend Fang is not there, there is no need to waste time tonight." ”
Wang De heard clearly, and dared to love Mr. Zhang, who spoke very weightily, was here for Fang Yingwu, and if he didn't see Fang Yingwu, he would leave. He didn't think much about it before, he just said that it was all a matter of the circle of readers, but judging from the situation in front of him, it was not so simple.
Could it be that Fang Yingwu is so important, and he can't do without him when he comes out to talk about business? How is it like a ghost! The most terrible thing is that the two on the opposite side want to leave when they can't see Fang Yingwu? So what about his chances?
Wang Yuanwai's ability to operate is thriving, and he also has a bit of adaptability. He wiped his sweat abruptly and interjected, "I already sent someone to invite me yesterday, and I don't know why I didn't come."
It's better for the two of you to sit down first, and then send someone to invite you. The distance between the left and right places where he lives is not far, and the back and forth is very fast, and it is not too late to invite him over at this time! ”
Steward Tang also persuaded Mr. Zhang, who was very difficult to speak, and said: "That's fine, since you are here, you can't run in vain." ”
So the three of them entered the proud building, went up to the second floor, and prepared a clean Accord. Wang De waited for Tang and Zhang to sit down, and said enthusiastically: "The two of you will drink tea first, and then I will order the next person to call Fang Yingwu to come over, and ensure that the two of you can see people tonight." ”
"Let's go!" Mr. Zhang waved his hand, and Wang De went out to find his servant to tell him about things.
After seeing Wang De go out, Mr. Zhang whispered to Tang Steward: "Dong Weng has explained that even if a young man is old, he will be more or less vain and show off, which is inevitable, especially in front of women, relatives and friends.
After a while, if that party really comes, you and I will give him enough face, let him grow a big face in front of the villagers, and this friendship will come naturally. After that, I will talk to him in secret, and I will always be able to do what Dong Weng wants. ”
Steward Tang nodded yes, and said: "It's not enough to have a few of us, we have to invite some women to accompany the wine over, young people are rarely able to stand calm in front of beauty." Lift him up in front of women, and get twice the result with half the effort. ”
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the two of them were silent. The door curtain flickered, Wang De walked in, and said with a smile: "Someone has been sent, but please sit down." ”
But he said that Fang Yingwu was bored in the hostel, and was about to go out to find a place to have dinner, but he just walked to the gate, but someone pulled his sleeve. Looking back, it turned out to be the servant of the Wang family that I had seen yesterday.
"Fang Xianggong! Little Grandpa Fang! Didn't the little one report yesterday be, and I invited you over to the proud building tonight, why did you miss the appointment? This can make it difficult for the little ones to be people! ”
Fang Ying said bluntly; "I said I knew, but I didn't say yes!"
The servant was sweating profusely, pulling Fang Yingwu and refusing to let go, begging: "Don't play this word game with the little one, if you don't go, the board will all fall on the little one."
And my lord said that if Fang Xianggong doesn't go, he will let the eldest lady come out again. Fang Xianggong can't bear to let the eldest lady, a delicate little lady, go out at night! ”
When did Wang De learn this trick? Fang Yingwu pouted, just go, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. He patted the servants of the Wang family, "Let go and lead the way!" (To be continued......)
