Tang Dynasty Never Night
Chapter 71 71
Li Xian...Of course he didn't know, how could he know so clearly, the reason for this kind of coincidence is just because... this house is the closest to Jiucheng Palace, and it is also the best one , Of course it’s better than this one. This building was owned by someone else before. As a result, this unlucky guy happened to be found out for violating laws and disciplines a while ago, and then he was demoted and ransacked his house. Naturally, this house was confiscated .
Li Xian had already heard about the move, so of course he didn't need to pack things by himself, so he turned around to help Zheng Qi look after the house.
Zheng Qi was really taken aback when he received the house deed, thinking that he was considered a high-ranking and powerful minister back then, after all, he would go further to be a very high-ranking minister, so that the place where he lives is the house in his hands now, It can be seen that the value of this house is high. Although there are more and more people and the housing price of Tiantai Mountain is also increasing year by year, the value of this house is not low even now.
Zheng Niang looked at the house deed, and after asking about the location, she immediately felt a little restless: "Sanlang, why did His Royal Highness King Zhou... suddenly give you such a valuable thing? Did you let you..."
Zheng Niang has learned a lot recently, and she also knows that Zheng Qi's promotion route is a bit unorthodox, but fortunately, Zheng Qi's credit can overwhelm this promotion method, so Zheng Niang didn't remind anything, but now Zhou Wang made a move It's just a big gift... Thinking that when Zheng Qi had an accident before, Zhou Wang had also told someone to take good care of their family, Zheng Niang felt a little uneasy.
Zheng Qi... Zheng Qi was also a little uneasy. He never felt that anyone had to be nice to anyone. In the past, Li Xian was really nice to him, but most of them were in some details, such as some food, no? It is very precious, so even if he is not Zhou Wangfu anymore, he will often mention Li Xian when necessary.
It's just that this... is a bit beyond his ability to bear.So Zheng Qi took the house deed and went to Zhou Wangfu.
And when he arrived at Prince Zhou's Mansion, Li Xian was trying to recall the structures of various ships that he had memorized when he was playing with models.
He was not very surprised by Zheng Qi's arrival, and he became more calm after Zheng Qi explained his intentions: "You can keep it if you give it to you. In fact, it doesn't cost much, and... isn't your birthday coming soon? Just treat it as early Here's a present for you."
"It's too precious." Zheng Qi frowned.
Li Xian said without blinking: "Is it very expensive? This is more popular in our place, and I didn't really give it to you by ruining everything. Since I gave it to you, it means that this is not unbearable for me. .”
Zheng Qi... Zheng Qi was rarely fooled, and his attention was directly shifted to another aspect - he remembered His Royal Highness Zhou Wang once said that he was just an ordinary commoner before.
Ordinary common people gave gifts to each other, and it was a house, and the value should not be low... It was indeed a very prosperous era.
Li Xian felt a little guilty when he saw Zheng Qi's expression of emotion. Birthday presents for a house or something... will only exist among local tyrants in future generations, okay?
But one thing Li Xian did not lie, it is not a big burden for him to give this house, who made him rich, now there is a trend of ceramic tiles in Changan, people with spare money will buy some Decorate it, it can be regarded as catching up with the trend.
Of course, the reason why it went so smoothly probably lies in Li Xian's own level. The upper class has always been the leader of fashion, and saints and ladies are even more outstanding. Even they like it... Come on, everyone. Follow the trend.
After arriving at Mount Jiutai, Li Zhi immediately issued an edict: the children of the Turkic chieftain.Give things to the East Palace.
After hearing this, Li Xian raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this increasing the prince's weight again?
Although the Tang Dynasty had to fight with the Turks from time to time, the Turks and the Turks are also different. The Turks have now been divided into two parts, the east and the west. The east is still chaotic, and the West Turks have long been attached. The Anxi Protectorate will no longer exist.
The Turkic inside... Well, in fact, it was also disabled by Tang Dynasty, but since it is attached inside, you have to treat it accordingly. You can’t accept their offerings and let them move to a new place It's fine to live, but sooner or later it will be reversed.
Datang is still very open-minded in terms of policies towards foreigners. Since you are obediently attached, then we will give you the opportunity to become officials and make a fortune. Whether you can succeed is up to you.
However, ethnic minorities will always receive preferential treatment, not to mention that it seems inappropriate for Turkic people to study together with the people of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, if the children of the chiefs of the Turkic tribes are excellent, they can be directly awarded official positions as appropriate. The Turkic people...of course they are the attendants of the chief's children, and of course the number of attendants is limited.
In fact, most of the Turkic people joined the army in the end. They may not be very good at reading, but they have unparalleled talents in marching and fighting, especially in cavalry. Is Turkic.
The descendants of the Turkic chiefs... will definitely inherit the position of chiefs in the future. As long as they are subdued, it is equivalent to holding a part of the army's strength. In addition to the ten rate of the East Palace, the prince's power in the army is really not comparable to that of King Pei .
However, Li Xian was very calm. As a member of the plot, he knew that no matter how hard Li Hong tried, he would never be able to get that seat. To his surprise, Li Xian seemed to be very calm.
Soon he knew why Li Xian was calm, because Liu Rengui and Xu Jingzong... both retired.Both of these two people have the same rank as the third rank of Dongxitai, that is, the position of prime minister in layman's terms, and these two people... although they have not explicitly stated that they are on the side of the prince, it is true that they are closer to the prince.
With these two people gone, Li Xian should be happy, even though he doesn't know who will take over next.
Li Xian secretly ran to ask Zheng Qi to give him a spoiler, but Zheng Qi...he didn't know, okay?Because of the dual role of Li Xian and him, even many important things have been changed, not to mention the exchange of officials. Strictly speaking, Xu Jingzong and Liu Rengui did not serve together at all!
But Zheng Qi has always been very calm about this, rebirth is actually just a pawn in his hand, if there is, it will be icing on the cake, if it is not, it will not hinder anything, and he will follow the set goal.
After Zheng Qi moved to Tiantai Mountain, he had a housewarming banquet. After all, this house was not his before, so he has moved. Many people are surprised by the place where Zheng Qi lives. This house...wasn't it before. Was it confiscated?Although the imperial court may sell it again, it is not cheap.
Didn't it mean that the new viscount's family background is average?Of course, all these have to be put aside, at this banquet, the family members of the Zheng family in Xingyang also came!
There are too many stories that the branch of the main family has to tell these days. The relationship between many of the main family and the side branch is not as good as that with other in-laws, that is, to maintain a superficial harmony. Although Zheng Qi said that he was born in Xingyang Zheng, But looking at the lukewarm attitude of the direct descendants of the Zheng family in the imperial court, everyone felt that it was just him putting money on his face.
And Zheng Qi... didn't get too close to my family. In the beginning, when he passed the Jinshi examination, my family actually wanted to cultivate him. In decline, there are almost no Zhengs working in the center now!The highest rank of the family is nothing more than a governor of Xiazhou, who is the lower rank of the fourth rank!
Xiazhou has a small population and an underdeveloped economy. It is difficult to achieve political achievements. Although it is a governor, it is not easy to get promoted. In the eyes of ordinary people, this official position is not low, but if you compare it among first-class families, This position is really unattainable.
If there is no one who can enter the center, the Zheng family will really decline!It's just that Zheng Fengnian, the patriarch of the Zheng family's generation, hesitated after getting in touch with Zheng Qi.
As the patriarch, Zheng Fengnian, although his official position is not high and his ability is limited, but he has lived for many years and met many people, but he has to admit that he can't see through Zheng Qi.
Probably because of biological instinct, he always felt that Zheng Qi was a bit dangerous.The Zheng family needs a very capable person, but this person must not be the one that cannot be controlled.
Frankly speaking, what Zheng Fengnian is worried about is that after Zheng Qi is supported, he will occupy the magpie's nest. When the younger generation of the Zheng family is really headed by him, what will happen to his son and grandson?
Zheng Fengnian just had this kind of worry before, so he looked at Zheng Qi from the sidelines. Although he was admitted to Jinshi, it didn't prove that this person was really suitable to be an official, and even if he wanted to be an official, he had just passed the Jinshi exam. It takes two years to spend two years in the Imperial Academy. High-ranking civil servants... not everyone can be a senior civil servant if they want to.
In the end, who would have thought that Zheng Qi's promotion speed was comparable to that of a rocket?In a blink of an eye, he became a third-rank King Fu of Zhou. Well, although this official position is high, he doesn't have any real power. Zheng Fengnian can still be relatively calm, but the subsequent development makes him a little overwhelmed.
When he came to his senses, Zheng Qi flickered... He became a viscount, and he was still a knight because of his military exploits!
Zheng Fengnian was a little dumbfounded, Zheng Qi's promotion was too fast, it took less than a year, and those who were at the same time as him were still struggling in the Imperial Academy, sending officials to exhaustion Brain, why is this... a knighthood?
Zheng Fengnian himself is just a viscount, and this viscount inherited his father's title. Originally, his father was an earl when he was alive.It doesn't matter if it was cold before, the identities of the two parties are there, even if the side branch is not squinted, the main family will not look too high, not to mention that the side branch where Zheng Qi is located is very remote, and their family has not been too high for several generations. famous people.
Now that there is such a natural alliance relationship, if it is not managed well, the Zheng family really doesn't want to mess around, right?
Zheng Fengnian originally thought that he would come to the door, and Zheng Qi would give him a little embarrassment if he was not sure. After all, he completely ignored the other party as an elder at the beginning. left out.
Zheng Fengnian brought his youngest son Zheng Yu here. This child is the smartest and most optimistic among all his sons, but the smartness depends on who he compares with. He is still a few months older than Zheng Qi, and now... Zheng Qi is still in the Imperial Academy, and Zheng Qi already has a place in the court.
However, Zheng Jue has an advantage that he is very considerate of the situation. He thinks that whoever needs to make friends, he will try his best to get online with the other party. It seems that he will use any means to achieve his goal. Limited, in the end it just left a slick image to others.
Both Zheng Fengnian and Zheng Ju were prepared for embarrassment, but they didn't expect Zheng Qi's attitude towards them to be very good, except for Zheng Qi's father, Zheng Linjiang, who faced them coldly.
This not bad does not mean that Zheng Qi treats them the same as others, but that Zheng Qi is obviously more enthusiastic about them than others, which makes both Zheng Fengnian and Zheng Yu a little flattered.
In fact, what Zheng Qi thinks is also very simple. A polished commander can never go far. In fact, his current achievement has a lot to do with luck. It's because everyone didn't think he was a threat at first.
And now...it is estimated that he has begun to attract the attention of all parties. In the future, when he is stumbled, it will be the kind that jumps out and joins him like Ren Yushi. Basically, it only exists in the strength of both sides. Compared with the time when there was a huge difference, that is to say, at that time, Ren Yushi didn't take him seriously at all!
There will be no problem for officials who have no weight to act directly, but those who have weight will have to be a little roundabout, and it is this kind of roundabout that is sometimes more difficult to deal with than going straight.
At this time, Zheng Qi needs a group of his own people. After all, the Zheng family is a first-class family. Although it doesn't look too strong now, but the background is still there. When faced with interests, children from aristocratic families always look better than those from poor families.
Zheng Fengnian and Zheng Yu wanted to find a reliable person to revitalize the Zheng family. Zheng Qi needed some thugs to hold a group. After the two reached an initial consensus at the banquet, Zheng Qi went to entertain others——here There are many things that are obviously not suitable to be brought up on such occasions. Anyway, as long as everyone sees that Zheng Qi and his family have a harmonious relationship, they will naturally think more about it.
Zheng Qi, who went to entertain guests, met an unexpected guest—Wu Minzhi!
Wu Minzhi's arrival surprised everyone. Although many people came to say hello to him, the expression obviously meant to respect ghosts and gods and keep a distance.Everyone dare not provoke this person, this is a snake spirit disease, what if he is provoked... What if he ran to complain to the lady's mother?
Don't provoke him, just let him be a flower of Gaoling quietly, oh, by the way, let me ask my wife to take good care of her own girls, and don't let this big devil see her!It would be an insult for a girl to take one more look at this kind of person!
Although Zheng Qi was surprised, he still led Wu Minzhi to go inside. Wu Minzhi said with a smile: "This time, I took the liberty to come here because I suddenly remembered that you and I have an agreement, but I didn't expect that your place is so lively. It seems It was my mistake."
Zheng Qi's smile was still decent: "It's not a coincidence today, if Zhou Guogong is willing, why not another day."
"Alright, I don't know if His Royal Highness King Zhou will be here today?"
Zheng Qi took a deep look at him: "I have already sent an invitation card to Your Majesty, but I don't know if Your Majesty has time to come over."
Wu Minzhi clenched his lips: "Other people's banquets are not good, but Zheng Qingcheng, His Royal Highness King Zhou will definitely not refuse the invitation you personally sent."
Zheng Qi always felt that there was something in this guy's words, but now was not the time to talk, and he couldn't put all his mind on Wu Minzhi, so he took Wu Minzhi to a suitable position and left.
And the atmosphere at the table where Wu Minzhi was at was a bit cold for a while—they were not from the same place as Wu Minzhi, although their identities were similar, but Wu Minzhi was too young, and he was too unrestrained before, these uncles were a little bit disgusted used to him.
It's just that Wu Minzhi was born with a kind of charm. When he smiled reservedly, he seemed like the son of the most noble and elegant family, and his speech was also very good. Even if the people at this table were old enough to be his father, He can also talk together!Talk about calligraphy with this one, talk about Danqing with that one, he can even say a few words about the art of war!
People who were not familiar with Wu Minzhi before were wondering—it doesn't look as bad as the legend says.
People who know more about Wu Minzhi are also wondering—why did he suddenly recover from his illness?
But in any case, this table can be regarded as harmonious.After a while, Zhou Wang Li Xian came, not only him, but also Pei Wang Li Xian came with him!
As important people, the two of them are the last ones to come. Speaking of which, Li Xian really wanted to come earlier, but it's not suitable—the streets here in Tiantai Mountain are not as wide as Chang'an City. Even if that set of clothes can't block the streets here, it's not too bad. If he comes too early, if other people's carriages can't get in, isn't it here to disrupt the situation?
Then I ran into Li Xian on the way. Li Xian was also a little strange about Li Xian's arrival, but thinking about Zheng Qi's attention, it would be strange if Li Xian didn't move.
Then... Li Xian and Li Xian were arranged to be at the same table with Wu Minzhi and the others. I had already said that this table was full of noble people.Then the people who were doing it were a little restless - who didn't know that Zhou Wang and Zhou Guogong had fought each other before?It is said that the king of Zhou is still at a disadvantage, and now these two are arranged together...won't they fight again?
As a result, they saw that Wu Minzhi said to Li Xian with a full smile: "I knew His Royal Highness King Zhou would come."
Li Xian looked at him deadly: "I didn't expect you to come back."
Li Xian & people around: Gossip!
Wu Minzhi suddenly leaned into Li Xian's ear and asked, "You treat him so well, do you think he will understand your thoughts?"
Li Xian's heart skipped a beat, he looked up at Wu Minzhi and said in a low voice, "It has nothing to do with you."
Wu Minzhi didn't speak anymore, just watched Li Xian laughing all the time, Li Xian and the people around him wanted to scratch the table: Damn, when did you two get along so well that you can whisper?Are you pretending that we don't exist?
It's just that after Wu Minzhi said these two sentences to Li Xian, he turned his head and went to chat with others, leaving Li Xian aside and feeling depressed for a long time.
Li Xian came over and asked, "He bullied you?"
The corner of Li Xian's mouth twitched, Damn, you all look like I'm being bullied, don't you?Seeing that his expression was not good, Li Xian said directly: "If he bullies you, tell me, and I will beat him up for you!"
"Thank you." Li Xian felt a little helpless. Li Xian was only one year older than him, barely two years old. He was ten years behind Wu Minzhi. How could he beat Wu Minzhi?What's more, Li Xian is following the route of literary youth. The two of them are not necessarily Wu Minzhi's opponents if they are tied together, okay?
It's a little sad to think about it.Because Wu Minzhi accidentally exposed some things that had been hidden all the time, Li Xian was obviously not in a good mood. If he hadn't told himself not to ruin Zheng Qi's banquet, he would probably have returned home a long time ago—with Wu Minzhi's eating at the same table is simply embarrassing himself!
What annoyed him the most was that Wu Minzhi came over to talk to him from time to time, and he couldn't ignore it in front of everyone.After the banquet was finally over, when Li Xian wanted to leave quickly, Wu Minzhi followed him again, but this time it was because the two of them went home in the same direction.
Li Xian was riding a car, Wu Minzhi was riding a horse, such an obvious contrast... It made Li Xian feel like a weakling even more.
Wu Minzhi followed Li Xian all the way to his other courtyard in Tiantai Mountain. Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Li Xian stared at Wu Minzhi, not understanding what this guy was going to do.
As a result, Wu Minzhi calmly got off his horse and walked over, "Since you value Zheng Qingcheng so much, why don't you... let me help you?"
What the hell!
Li Xian really wished he could kill this guy with a pack of dynamite!
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Who do I admire and need your help?" Li Xian killed himself just admiring Zheng Qi, anyway, you have no proof.
Wu Minzhi didn't argue with him, but turned around and said while walking: "It's up to you, but... you will know soon."
Then... Then Wu Minzhi got on his horse and ran all the way away. Li Xian tried to catch up but failed to catch up. He began to worry again: What the hell is this crazy girl doing?
And Wu Minzhi, who ran to the gate of his own courtyard, touched the unhealed scar on his neck and smiled happily: "Luohua intentionally flows water and is ruthless, and if he doesn't take the opportunity to do something to make Li Xian give up, he will be sorry for himself."
How can His Royal Highness King Zhou, who is so interesting, give it to others?
Li Xian had already heard about the move, so of course he didn't need to pack things by himself, so he turned around to help Zheng Qi look after the house.
Zheng Qi was really taken aback when he received the house deed, thinking that he was considered a high-ranking and powerful minister back then, after all, he would go further to be a very high-ranking minister, so that the place where he lives is the house in his hands now, It can be seen that the value of this house is high. Although there are more and more people and the housing price of Tiantai Mountain is also increasing year by year, the value of this house is not low even now.
Zheng Niang looked at the house deed, and after asking about the location, she immediately felt a little restless: "Sanlang, why did His Royal Highness King Zhou... suddenly give you such a valuable thing? Did you let you..."
Zheng Niang has learned a lot recently, and she also knows that Zheng Qi's promotion route is a bit unorthodox, but fortunately, Zheng Qi's credit can overwhelm this promotion method, so Zheng Niang didn't remind anything, but now Zhou Wang made a move It's just a big gift... Thinking that when Zheng Qi had an accident before, Zhou Wang had also told someone to take good care of their family, Zheng Niang felt a little uneasy.
Zheng Qi... Zheng Qi was also a little uneasy. He never felt that anyone had to be nice to anyone. In the past, Li Xian was really nice to him, but most of them were in some details, such as some food, no? It is very precious, so even if he is not Zhou Wangfu anymore, he will often mention Li Xian when necessary.
It's just that this... is a bit beyond his ability to bear.So Zheng Qi took the house deed and went to Zhou Wangfu.
And when he arrived at Prince Zhou's Mansion, Li Xian was trying to recall the structures of various ships that he had memorized when he was playing with models.
He was not very surprised by Zheng Qi's arrival, and he became more calm after Zheng Qi explained his intentions: "You can keep it if you give it to you. In fact, it doesn't cost much, and... isn't your birthday coming soon? Just treat it as early Here's a present for you."
"It's too precious." Zheng Qi frowned.
Li Xian said without blinking: "Is it very expensive? This is more popular in our place, and I didn't really give it to you by ruining everything. Since I gave it to you, it means that this is not unbearable for me. .”
Zheng Qi... Zheng Qi was rarely fooled, and his attention was directly shifted to another aspect - he remembered His Royal Highness Zhou Wang once said that he was just an ordinary commoner before.
Ordinary common people gave gifts to each other, and it was a house, and the value should not be low... It was indeed a very prosperous era.
Li Xian felt a little guilty when he saw Zheng Qi's expression of emotion. Birthday presents for a house or something... will only exist among local tyrants in future generations, okay?
But one thing Li Xian did not lie, it is not a big burden for him to give this house, who made him rich, now there is a trend of ceramic tiles in Changan, people with spare money will buy some Decorate it, it can be regarded as catching up with the trend.
Of course, the reason why it went so smoothly probably lies in Li Xian's own level. The upper class has always been the leader of fashion, and saints and ladies are even more outstanding. Even they like it... Come on, everyone. Follow the trend.
After arriving at Mount Jiutai, Li Zhi immediately issued an edict: the children of the Turkic chieftain.Give things to the East Palace.
After hearing this, Li Xian raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this increasing the prince's weight again?
Although the Tang Dynasty had to fight with the Turks from time to time, the Turks and the Turks are also different. The Turks have now been divided into two parts, the east and the west. The east is still chaotic, and the West Turks have long been attached. The Anxi Protectorate will no longer exist.

However, ethnic minorities will always receive preferential treatment, not to mention that it seems inappropriate for Turkic people to study together with the people of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, if the children of the chiefs of the Turkic tribes are excellent, they can be directly awarded official positions as appropriate.

In addition to the ten rate of the East Palace, the prince's power in the army is really not comparable to that of King Pei .
However, Li Xian was very calm. As a member of the plot, he knew that no matter how hard Li Hong tried, he would never be able to get that seat. To his surprise, Li Xian seemed to be very calm.
Soon he knew why Li Xian was calm, because Liu Rengui and Xu Jingzong... both retired.Both of these two people have the same rank as the third rank of Dongxitai, that is, the position of prime minister in layman's terms, and these two people... although they have not explicitly stated that they are on the side of the prince, it is true that they are closer to the prince.
With these two people gone, Li Xian should be happy, even though he doesn't know who will take over next.
Li Xian secretly ran to ask Zheng Qi to give him a spoiler, but Zheng Qi...he didn't know, okay?Because of the dual role of Li Xian and him, even many important things have been changed, not to mention the exchange of officials. Strictly speaking, Xu Jingzong and Liu Rengui did not serve together at all!
But Zheng Qi has always been very calm about this, rebirth is actually just a pawn in his hand, if there is, it will be icing on the cake, if it is not, it will not hinder anything, and he will follow the set goal.
After Zheng Qi moved to Tiantai Mountain, he had a housewarming banquet. After all, this house was not his before, so he has moved. Many people are surprised by the place where Zheng Qi lives. This house...wasn't it before. Was it confiscated?Although the imperial court may sell it again, it is not cheap.
Didn't it mean that the new viscount's family background is average?Of course, all these have to be put aside, at this banquet, the family members of the Zheng family in Xingyang also came!
There are too many stories that the branch of the main family has to tell these days. The relationship between many of the main family and the side branch is not as good as that with other in-laws, that is, to maintain a superficial harmony. Although Zheng Qi said that he was born in Xingyang Zheng, But looking at the lukewarm attitude of the direct descendants of the Zheng family in the imperial court, everyone felt that it was just him putting money on his face.
And Zheng Qi... didn't get too close to my family. In the beginning, when he passed the Jinshi examination, my family actually wanted to cultivate him. In decline, there are almost no Zhengs working in the center now!The highest rank of the family is nothing more than a governor of Xiazhou, who is the lower rank of the fourth rank!

In the eyes of ordinary people, this official position is not low, but if you compare it among first-class families, This position is really unattainable.
If there is no one who can enter the center, the Zheng family will really decline!It's just that Zheng Fengnian, the patriarch of the Zheng family's generation, hesitated after getting in touch with Zheng Qi.
As the patriarch, Zheng Fengnian, although his official position is not high and his ability is limited, but he has lived for many years and met many people, but he has to admit that he can't see through Zheng Qi.
Probably because of biological instinct, he always felt that Zheng Qi was a bit dangerous.The Zheng family needs a very capable person, but this person must not be the one that cannot be controlled.
Frankly speaking, what Zheng Fengnian is worried about is that after Zheng Qi is supported, he will occupy the magpie's nest. When the younger generation of the Zheng family is really headed by him, what will happen to his son and grandson?

At this time, Zheng Qi needs a group of his own people. After all, the Zheng family is a first-class family. Although it doesn't look too strong now, but the background is still there. When faced with interests, children from aristocratic families always look better than those from poor families.
Zheng Fengnian and Zheng Yu wanted to find a reliable person to revitalize the Zheng family. Zheng Qi needed some thugs to hold a group. After the two reached an initial consensus at the banquet, Zheng Qi went to entertain others——here There are many things that are obviously not suitable to be brought up on such occasions. Anyway, as long as everyone sees that Zheng Qi and his family have a harmonious relationship, they will naturally think more about it.
Zheng Qi, who went to entertain guests, met an unexpected guest—Wu Minzhi!
Wu Minzhi's arrival surprised everyone. Although many people came to say hello to him, the expression obviously meant to respect ghosts and gods and keep a distance.Everyone dare not provoke this person, this is a snake spirit disease, what if he is provoked... What if he ran to complain to the lady's mother?
Don't provoke him, just let him be a flower of Gaoling quietly, oh, by the way, let me ask my wife to take good care of her own girls, and don't let this big devil see her!It would be an insult for a girl to take one more look at this kind of person!
Although Zheng Qi was surprised, he still led Wu Minzhi to go inside. Wu Minzhi said with a smile: "This time, I took the liberty to come here because I suddenly remembered that you and I have an agreement, but I didn't expect that your place is so lively. It seems It was my mistake."
Zheng Qi's smile was still decent: "It's not a coincidence today, if Zhou Guogong is willing, why not another day."
"Alright, I don't know if His Royal Highness King Zhou will be here today?"
Zheng Qi took a deep look at him: "I have already sent an invitation card to Your Majesty, but I don't know if Your Majesty has time to come over."
Wu Minzhi clenched his lips: "Other people's banquets are not good, but Zheng Qingcheng, His Royal Highness King Zhou will definitely not refuse the invitation you personally sent."
Zheng Qi always felt that there was something in this guy's words, but now was not the time to talk, and he couldn't put all his mind on Wu Minzhi, so he took Wu Minzhi to a suitable position and left.
And the atmosphere at the table where Wu Minzhi was at was a bit cold for a while—they were not from the same place as Wu Minzhi, although their identities were similar, but Wu Minzhi was too young, and he was too unrestrained before, these uncles were a little bit disgusted used to him.
It's just that Wu Minzhi was born with a kind of charm. When he smiled reservedly, he seemed like the son of the most noble and elegant family, and his speech was also very good. Even if the people at this table were old enough to be his father, He can also talk together!Talk about calligraphy with this one, talk about Danqing with that one, he can even say a few words about the art of war!
People who were not familiar with Wu Minzhi before were wondering—it doesn't look as bad as the legend says.
People who know more about Wu Minzhi are also wondering—why did he suddenly recover from his illness?
But in any case, this table can be regarded as harmonious.After a while, Zhou Wang Li Xian came, not only him, but also Pei Wang Li Xian came with him!
As important people, the two of them are the last ones to come. Speaking of which, Li Xian really wanted to come earlier, but it's not suitable—the streets here in Tiantai Mountain are not as wide as Chang'an City. Even if that set of clothes can't block the streets here, it's not too bad. If he comes too early, if other people's carriages can't get in, isn't it here to disrupt the situation?
Then I ran into Li Xian on the way. Li Xian was also a little strange about Li Xian's arrival, but thinking about Zheng Qi's attention, it would be strange if Li Xian didn't move.
Then... Li Xian and Li Xian were arranged to be at the same table with Wu Minzhi and the others. I had already said that this table was full of noble people.Then the people who were doing it were a little restless - who didn't know that Zhou Wang and Zhou Guogong had fought each other before?It is said that the king of Zhou is still at a disadvantage, and now these two are arranged together...won't they fight again?
As a result, they saw that Wu Minzhi said to Li Xian with a full smile: "I knew His Royal Highness King Zhou would come."
Li Xian looked at him deadly: "I didn't expect you to come back."
Li Xian & people around: Gossip!
Wu Minzhi suddenly leaned into Li Xian's ear and asked, "You treat him so well, do you think he will understand your thoughts?"
Li Xian's heart skipped a beat, he looked up at Wu Minzhi and said in a low voice, "It has nothing to do with you."
Wu Minzhi didn't speak anymore, just watched Li Xian laughing all the time, Li Xian and the people around him wanted to scratch the table: Damn, when did you two get along so well that you can whisper?Are you pretending that we don't exist?
It's just that after Wu Minzhi said these two sentences to Li Xian, he turned his head and went to chat with others, leaving Li Xian aside and feeling depressed for a long time.
Li Xian came over and asked, "He bullied you?"
The corner of Li Xian's mouth twitched, Damn, you all look like I'm being bullied, don't you?Seeing that his expression was not good, Li Xian said directly: "If he bullies you, tell me, and I will beat him up for you!"
"Thank you." Li Xian felt a little helpless. Li Xian was only one year older than him, barely two years old. He was ten years behind Wu Minzhi. How could he beat Wu Minzhi?What's more, Li Xian is following the route of literary youth. The two of them are not necessarily Wu Minzhi's opponents if they are tied together, okay?
It's a little sad to think about it.Because Wu Minzhi accidentally exposed some things that had been hidden all the time, Li Xian was obviously not in a good mood. If he hadn't told himself not to ruin Zheng Qi's banquet, he would probably have returned home a long time ago—with Wu Minzhi's eating at the same table is simply embarrassing himself!
What annoyed him the most was that Wu Minzhi came over to talk to him from time to time, and he couldn't ignore it in front of everyone.After the banquet was finally over, when Li Xian wanted to leave quickly, Wu Minzhi followed him again, but this time it was because the two of them went home in the same direction.
Li Xian was riding a car, Wu Minzhi was riding a horse, such an obvious contrast... It made Li Xian feel like a weakling even more.
Wu Minzhi followed Li Xian all the way to his other courtyard in Tiantai Mountain. Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Li Xian stared at Wu Minzhi, not understanding what this guy was going to do.
As a result, Wu Minzhi calmly got off his horse and walked over, "Since you value Zheng Qingcheng so much, why don't you... let me help you?"
What the hell!
Li Xian really wished he could kill this guy with a pack of dynamite!
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Who do I admire and need your help?" Li Xian killed himself just admiring Zheng Qi, anyway, you have no proof.
Wu Minzhi didn't argue with him, but turned around and said while walking: "It's up to you, but... you will know soon."
Then... Then Wu Minzhi got on his horse and ran all the way away. Li Xian tried to catch up but failed to catch up. He began to worry again: What the hell is this crazy girl doing?
And Wu Minzhi, who ran to the gate of his own courtyard, touched the unhealed scar on his neck and smiled happily: "Luohua intentionally flows water and is ruthless, and if he doesn't take the opportunity to do something to make Li Xian give up, he will be sorry for himself."
How can His Royal Highness King Zhou, who is so interesting, give it to others?
