Chao Yu Jie

Unexpectedly, Wen Zhuo got an invitation from the Wei Mansion.

Bai Yi said from the side: "This matter is strange. Why didn't that Wei Yingyan say it himself? I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd."

Wen Zhuo smiled and said, "What's so difficult about it? If Mr. Wei doesn't say it, then it must be Mrs. Wei's intention."

It turned out that after he learned that Xu Lai was one of his father's subordinates, he sent Xu Lai to collect information everywhere in the city, but after a few days of work, he learned a lot of secrets.For example, Mr. Wei, besides being corrupt and accepting bribes, also has a very powerful Hedong lion in his family.

Bai Yi couldn't help laughing after hearing his introduction, and said, "It seems that Mrs. Wei is really a 'good wife'."

Shuqin said with distaste: "Do you still know Mrs. Zhou? You are so ignorant! Not to mention the difference between men and women inside and outside, but when our son has a personal relationship with Mr. Wei, he really knows how to exploit!"

Seeing him shaking his head and tail with a haughty expression, Wen Zhuo couldn't help but smile, and said, "That's right. It's better for our family to be diligent and sensible."

After hearing this, Shuqin said that Wen Zhuo was mocking him, his face turned red, and said: "My lord, don't make fun of me, I am talking too much."

Wen Zhuo said, "When did you make fun of you? You are right."

Shuqin couldn't help being surprised, so he heard his son say again: "It's just that I can't act according to the principles now, I just want to be like them."

Bai Yi said: "My lord, do you want to use your tricks?"

Wen Zhuo smiled and said: "Since he is a corrupt official who broke the law and corrupted the law, I have no reason to go to his house to have a look. How do you say that? Send pillows when you are sleepy?"

Several people laughed for a while, and Wen Zhuo sent someone to sue the Wei Mansion, only saying that he would definitely attend the appointment.Mrs. Wei couldn't help being complacent when she learned that, she became even more arrogant, and hurriedly arranged all the places in the mansion to wait for the young master.

It's just that Wenzhuo came late, Madam Wei couldn't wait for him outside the house, so she sent the butler to wait in the hall.After welcoming Wen Zhuo into the main hall, Mrs. Wei came out.

She looked at Wen Zhuo secretly, but unexpectedly Wen Zhuo had already seen her mansion clearly.At this time, seeing a group of people coming out with such a young lady in their arms, they knew that she was the tigress of Wei Yingyan's family, but on the surface they were feigned surprise.

Mrs. Wei walked up to him and gave him a blessing, and said: "Young Lord, it is rude to welcome you here! My husband told me that he was entertaining distinguished guests today, but he didn't want to be stumbling over trifles, so he had to let me do this." The old woman has come to confess to the young master."

Although what she said seemed to make sense, it was actually inappropriate. There is no reason in the world to let the wife come out to accompany the guests when they are not present at the banquet. What's more, Wen Zhuo is not related to his family, and it is only Madam Wei. Just don't take Wei Yingyan seriously.

Wen Zhuo secretly smiled in his heart, but on his face he was polite, and he still put on airs and replied: "Madam Wei is very polite."

Mrs. Wei saw that he was reserved, but she smiled all over her face. Her natal family was considered a celebrity in the capital, and she met many noble relatives when she was young. At this time, she just took a few glances at Wen Zhuo's clothes and manners, and knew him by the clothes of the attendants around her. Status is precious.

Since she wanted to win over Wen Zhuo for Wei Yingyan, she was very hospitable at this moment, but Wen Zhuo was not indifferent, talking to her in a lukewarm manner.

Since Mrs. Wei claimed that she was very different from a boudoir woman, the topic of chatting with Wen Zhuo was naturally ingenious, and she actually talked about a lot of official secrets.

Rao Wenzhuo was a bit surprised, and couldn't help but pretend to praise her: "I don't think Mrs. Wei is a woman who doesn't give way to her husband. It's a pity not to pursue an official career."

Mrs. Wei was overjoyed by his flattery, and she became concerned about Wen Zhuo's marriage.

Although Xiangyang Hou Shizi's reputation was not very good in the past, he is still a big piece of fat now. How can Mrs. Wei's plan not be understood by Wen Zhuo?It's just that this kind of family status is not suitable, so it is useless to ask.

After all, Mrs. Wei has a thick skin, and she chatted for only a cup of tea, so she said to the people around her: "Send someone to urge the master, why is the young master still not returning to the house after this time? Even if the sky falls outside Never mind, how can there be any reason to leave a distinguished guest at home?"

Then he said to Wen Zhuo: "It's freezing cold, so it's best to eat while it's hot. Let's start the table first, without waiting for him."

Wen Zhuo has traveled through Daxin, and has never seen a woman who does not take her husband seriously. This time, she finally opened her eyes and said: "This... Mr. Wei is not yet here, let's wait."

Mrs. Wei pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I have told our master a long time ago that this young master was born noble, how can he compare with others? This behavior is also in accordance with the rules. It's just that when you come today, we don't have to stick to these things in Wei's mansion. It's just a courtesy, it's a big honor for you to come today, it's not good to keep you waiting."

After finishing speaking, he opened the banquet, Wen Zhuo was speechless after being robbed by her, thinking that this old woman has some ways of forcing public relations in future generations.

All the bowls, dishes and cups used on the banquet table were made of top-quality white porcelain from the northern official kilns, with a delicate texture.Wen Zhuo looked at him coldly, but before he could move his chopsticks, Mrs. Wei said again: "It's cold now, and eating vegetables on an empty stomach will easily chill your spleen and stomach. Ming Xiao, come and get a bowl of hot soup for your son."

After she said this, a pretty girl came slowly behind the screen, her face was blushing, as if she didn't even dare to look at Wenzhuo, but she just brought the hot soup to the Wenzhuo table, and covered her with a veil Backed away face to face.

Wen Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, but when he saw her acting like this, he understood in his heart, knowing that the woman might be one of Mr. Wei's concubine, otherwise he would not have described it that way.

At this moment, he was even more bored with Mrs. Wei, thinking that the old bustards in ordinary brothels were nothing more than that.

Fortunately, the bowl of soup hadn't been touched yet, but Wei Yingyan hurried over, seeing his wife was eating with the young master, with an indescribably strange and angry expression on his face.If it wasn't for Wen Zhuo's understanding of Wei's residence, he would still think that Mr. Wei is here to catch traitors.

Fortunately, Mr. Wei is good at self-cultivation. At this time, he hurriedly smiled at Wen Zhuo, and then said to Mrs. Wei: "I will just stay with the young master. You can go down and rest first."

This is actually a bit of gnashing of teeth.

Wen Zhuanquan didn't know, and said to Wei Ying: "What has Mr. Wei been caught up in?"

Wei Yingyan was a little embarrassed for a moment, and got away with talking casually.Neither of them had any appetite for food, so they brought up the case of burning food again.

Wen Zhuo smiled, but it made Wei Yingyan shudder.

"Master Wei probably doesn't know yet, who is the most anxious to burn the food?"

Wei Yingyan was a little speechless, and said: "Well, this is naturally what the emperor is most anxious about. My emperor loves the people like a son, so he must be worried about the people."

Wen Zhuo almost spit out a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "Master Wei, don't worry. This is not in the classroom, so why bother to talk about these scenes."

Wei Yingyan also didn't notice for a while, causing Mrs. Wei to make such a fool of herself, she really couldn't bear Wen Zhuo's trickery, so she said in a low voice, "Please ask the young master to remind me."

Wen Zhuo said: "Master Wei's intentions towards Wen, how can Wen not know if he is not a stubborn stone? At the banquet in Qiyun Tower a few days ago, Mr. Ji, Mr. Wei, do you still remember?"

Wei Yingyan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Master Ji? But who did you come with, Young Master?"

Wen Zhuo said: "It's him. You only know that Master Ji came with me this time, but you don't know that he was originally a general beside His Royal Highness Luo. You said that he will not accompany His Royal Highness Luo in Langzhou at this time. Conquering the Qiang slaves, what are you doing in Ranzhou?"

Wei Yingyan was shocked: "It's actually a general of His Royal Highness Luo?"

Wen Zhuo picked up the cup, shook it, and looked at the crimson wine in it, but didn't drink it, and didn't even look at Wei Yingyan: "The food and grass in Ranzhou are burned, and the most urgent thing is His Royal Highness Luo. Ran The state is also under your rule, regardless of whether Wang Xu's grain is true or not, but now the grain in the public treasury is empty. As for what kind of crime to punish, who can listen to my empty teeth? You say yes Isn't that right? Master Wei?"

Wei Yingyan seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly said to Wen Zhuo: "Thank you, Young Master, for your suggestion. It's just that the food and grass are difficult to deal with!"

However, Wen Zhuo ignored him and said, "Even if it's difficult, I have to do it. Mr. Wei, others can't protect your head."

Wei Yingyan was taken aback, and asked: "Could it be that the young master knows the letter from above?"

Wen Zhuo shook his head, looking at him as if he hated iron for being weak: "Speaking of which, you have been an official for many years. Don't you know that it is rare for an official to be like Du Mei. Even if they are all like Du Mei It’s nothing more than a straight minister. How could He Mindao and Wang Xu kill you, but it’s just that you blocked someone’s way. You should think about these things carefully before telling me, if the president If you keep it hidden, even the Immortal Da Luo can't save you."

After finishing speaking, he got up, patted his sleeves and left.

Wei Yingyan didn't know what to do for a while, she picked up the chopsticks and picked up a mouthful of vegetables, chewing and chewing in her mouth, unexpectedly it was already cold.

When he got back to the mansion, Shuqin was puzzled and asked him: "Master, if you go today, is this thing done or not?"

Wen Zhuo now has to use his brain all day long, so he inevitably has some headaches, so he signaled Shuqin to take off his crown and press his forehead.

"It's half done."

Shuqin was still puzzled, since he followed Wen Zhuo, he had gained a lot of knowledge, but after all his wisdom was limited, and he couldn't understand Wen Zhuo's good deeds.

Wen Zhuo said with a smile: "I used to always want to socialize with these people, and it was inevitable to fight wits and play some tricks. Now that I think about it, how can I use this? These people are not clean, if they can change their minds, it's okay. If you want to go your own way and take advantage of his greed and pervert the law, get rid of one will be one, and you said that the situation will be messed up by then? Where will you not find the fox's tail?"

This was what Wen Zhuo wanted to understand yesterday when he reviewed Luo Wang's letter. After all, the conspiracy is no more open and aboveboard than Yangmou, so it is naturally inferior. Fortunately, it is not too late for him to sort out the clues.

After hearing this, Shuqin naturally admired his elder son even more, and said: "Then what should Master Du do?"

Wen Zhuo said with a smile: "It's good for Master Du to investigate the case of burning food, and it's just to keep them at bay. But we don't have to start with the case of burning food. This Wei Yingyan is nothing to worry about."
