Chapter 70 Attending the meeting(1/2)
After entering the study and closing the door, Xu New Year stared at his elder brother with a strange expression.
His face was strange but not anxious. It was not an urgent matter. Detective Xu made a judgment and sat down at the round table. He poured a glass of water to relieve his thirst after eating too much MSG and said with a casual tone:
"Erlang, a man shouldn't be hesitant, he should speak out straight away."
Xu Erlang walked to the desk, picked up an invitation, and with a soft "click", it landed exactly in front of Xu Qian.
Xu Qi'an unfolded the invitation and glanced at it, knowing why Xu Erlang had a strange expression.
The content of this invitation is to invite Xu Erlang to attend a cultural gathering. There is an interesting sentence on it: Take your sister with you.
The inviter was Wang Zhenwen, the chief minister of the dynasty.
"You are Chunwei Huiyuan, so it is reasonable and reasonable to invite you to participate in the cultural gathering." Xu Qian analyzed.
Xu New Year only has two younger sisters, so it’s natural not to invite young children to an occasion like a cultural gathering. The dignified Wang family, don’t you understand this rule?
As for women participating in cultural gatherings, although Da Feng still adheres to the three obediences and four virtues, due to the existence of the cultivation system, there are also leaders among women.
Therefore, although women's status is lower than that of men, it is not that low. They don't need to bind their feet, and they don't need to wear a veil when going out. They can go out and play whenever they want.
For example, my aunt and Ling Yue would take their servants out to visit jewelry stores every now and then.
It is not unusual for female relatives to attend cultural gatherings.
"madness!"
Xu New Year sneered: "The officialdom is like a battlefield. There may be many stupid idiots occupying high positions, but the princes in the temple are not among them. The king's chief assistant is the leader among the princes. His every move, every word and every expression is worthy of us.
To think deeply and to chew. Otherwise, you won’t know how you died.
"The eldest brother is from Wei Yuan. Wang Zhenwen and Wei Yuan are two fierce tigers in the court. They are incompatible with each other. If he invites me to attend a cultural gathering at his residence, it must not be as simple as it seems."
Xu Erlang was pacing in the room while thinking, "I promise to be a great leader in the new year and have a bright future. Wang Shoufu is afraid of me and wants to kill me before I grow up."
"No, even if I am named on the gold medal list and ranked first, it will be easy for Wang Shoufu to deal with me. There is a huge gap in status between me and him. If he wants to deal with me, he does not need any conspiracy at all.
"So, is it really just an ordinary literary party that he invited me to? In this case, he would think of his opponent too simply, and think of Wang Zhenwen too simply."
The troubled Xu Erlang looked at Xu Dalang, frowned and said: "Brother, please say something."
I feel like your thoughts are gradually changing. Xu Qian frowned and said, "In this case, you can ask other classmates of Zhonggongshi to see if they have received invitations.
"If there is, then this is just a simple literary gathering. If not, if you are the only one invited, a student from Yunlu Academy, then there must be something fishy in it."
"Of course I thought of this, but it's a pity that I don't have time." Xu Erlang was a little anxious and pointed at the invitation: "Brother, look at the time. The wedding will be tomorrow morning. I don't have time to confirm that I understand."
"Understand what?" Xu Dalang asked.
"Wang Shoufu didn't give me a chance to react at all. If I didn't go, he would spread my high self-esteem and arrogant attitude and smear my reputation. If I went, there must be some conspiracy waiting at the conference.
Me." Xu Erlang took a breath:
"Older gingers are more spicy."
When he said this, Xu Qi'an also became vigilant, thinking that it was not easy for my old Xu family to produce a scholar, but Wang Wenzheng was so unworthy of a son.
Then he realized something was wrong, frowned and said: "You just said that if Wang Chief Assistant wants to deal with you, there is no need for conspiracy. Even if you win the Jinshi, you have just left the novice village, and he is almost a full-level account
.”
Xu New Year said blankly: "What is a novice village and what is a full-level account?"
"If you don't go, your reputation of being arrogant will spread. If you go, there may be some conspiracy. Erlang can decide for himself." Xu Qian patted him on the shoulder and consoled him.
"When did eldest brother become as stupid as Suzune?"
Xu Erlang said displeased: "I have said so much, but you still don't understand what I mean? I just want my eldest brother to go with me."
"No, you can't go with me. You are my brother, but in the officialdom, you and I are not the same person. Erlang, you must remember this." Xu Qian's face became serious and he said in a deep voice:
"You have your own way and your own direction. Don't have anything to do with me."
Xu Erlang was a smart man. He was silent for a moment and said "hmm".
The eldest brother is actually warning him not to have anything to do with Wei Yuan. One day, even if Wei Yuan falls, it is inevitable that the eldest brother will be implicated.
But Wei Yuan's downfall had nothing to do with Xu New Year. His identity was only Xu Qian's brother, not Wei Yuan's subordinate.
Xu New Year agrees with this idea.
Among the powerful lords in history, the children of the family are not of the same mind and belong to different forces. The advantage of this is that even if a wing is broken, the family will only be injured and will not be destroyed.
The next day, Xu Qi'an rode on his beloved little mare and rushed to the watchman's office in the dark sky.
After midnight, several familiar colleagues from Song Tingfeng came to see him. They all sat together, drank tea, ate peanuts, and played cowhide for a while, and then everyone began to encourage Xu Qi'an to invite the Chief of Staff.
"roll roll roll"
Xu Qi'an spat at them and cursed: "I've been to Jiaofangsi all day long, and I've seen me fight. What did the old monk under the bodhi tree say? Beauty is like a bone scraper, it's no good."
"You know whoring every day, are you worthy of the job you are wearing? You just forget about it, but you want to hook me up, bah!"
Everyone knew what kind of person he was, and they were not afraid at all. They scolded him: "Who in our yamen has done more prostitution than you?"
Xu Qian plausibly said: "How can it be prostitution if I don't give you money? We are all familiar with each other. If you talk nonsense like this, I will definitely go to Wei Gong and report you for slander."
"Bah!" everyone spat at him.
However, everyone still admires Xu Qian very much. This guy is not sleeping with the oiran without paying him, but the oiran wants to spend money to sleep with him.
"Ning Yan, I heard from Lao Song that when you were still a Tong Luo, when you first joined the watchmen, you were already in love with Miss Fu Xiang? In addition to a poem, do you have any other unique skills?" A Tong Luo said.
Luo humbly asks for advice.
The eyes of the several bronze gongs and silver gongs present lit up. Who doesn’t want to be the favorite of the oirans of the Jiaofang Department?
"There is indeed a trick to this." Xu Qian replied affirmatively.
"What's the trick?!" The caller was breathing heavily.
At this time, a majestic voice came from the door: "We gather together to chat while on duty. Do you still have discipline in your eyes?"
Everyone turned around and saw a golden gong at the door of the hall. His eagle eyes were as sharp as knives and there were shallow crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. It was Jiang Lvzhong.
"Ginger Golden Gong"
Everyone stopped their playful smiles and explained respectfully: "Xu Ningyan is teaching us how to sleep with an oiran without spending money."
"?"
Jiang Lvzhong glanced at the crowd with sharp eyes and sneered: "Everyone knows how to have a great Spring and Autumn Dream. You guys talk about yourselves, and remember not to get together for too long."
After saying that, he turned around and left, walked out of the yard, and leaned against the wall to stimulate the hearing of the fourth-level martial artist.
In the hall, others pushed Xu Qi'an: "Ning Yan, please continue."
Xu Qian coughed: "I'm a little thirsty."
Song Tingfeng served him tea.
After taking a sip to moisten his throat, Xu Qi'an talked eloquently: "It is true that Miss Fuxiang likes me because of a poem, but she really can't live without me because of poetry."
"What is it?" everyone asked hurriedly.
"Do you know what women hate most about men?" Xu Qian asked.
All the commentators gave their own opinions one after another, thinking that it was "no money", "no future", etc.
Xu Qian shook his head, looked around at the faces of his colleagues, and said solemnly: "It's a simple conversation but a deep talk."
What is the truth? Hearing this, people fell into deep thought at the end of the night. The fastest update on the mobile phone::
"What does this have to do with Miss Fuxiang being unable to live without you?" Zhu Guangxiao frowned.
"When I first met her, she closed the door and asked me about her." Xu Qian put down the cup, his face became serious and steady, and he said word by word: "In the end, is it okay?"
"Later I did it, and she couldn't leave me."
In silence, Song Tingfeng questioned: "I suspect you are lying to us, but we have no evidence."
"It's normal. This is not something that ordinary people can understand, especially men who are not capable enough." Xu Qian patted him on the shoulder and said to the others:
"I've already told you the secret. Whether you can figure it out, well, depends on you."
"It's a matter of talking about something shallow and profound, will it work?" Jiang Luzhong left thoughtfully. At first glance, these two sentences seemed to have no difficulty in understanding, but they felt that there was unimaginable depth hidden behind them.
Let’s ask Wei Gong. With Wei Gong’s intelligence, he should be able to understand this little trick instantly.
After sending away the colleagues, not long after, an official came in and said: "Xu Yinluo, Jiang Jinluo asked me to ask you if you still need to prepare medicinal materials for cooking. With your cultivation level, you can try to temper your body.
"
Did Lao Jiang come here just now to ask about this matter? After giving the order, the official said, "You don't need him to come here in person?" He should be here for Vajra Invincible, but he was embarrassed and Xu Qi'an responded:
"no need."
"Okay." The official retreated.
Not long after, the two formulas "Let's talk in a shallow way but talk deeply" and "Will it work?" were spread in the watchmen's yamen. It was said that as long as you understood the meaning of these two secrets, you could have free prostitution in the Jiaofang Department.
Don't doubt it, because Xu Yinluo said it himself.
For a time, heated discussions broke out in various halls.
