Ma Sanbao felt that these people were really ignorant and fearless, and one or two of them wanted to use Ma Sanbao's power to brand themselves as the ladies of the state of Chu.
They also didn’t think about it, is the name of Chu State’s Lady’s Mansion so easy to borrow? The former princess, the daughter of the Li family in Longxi, once led hundreds of thousands of troops as a woman. Even if her father and brother were defeated, she could still fight in critical situations.
At this critical moment, while protecting yourself, you should also protect the whole family.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Lady of Chu is a wonderful woman, a heroine and a hero in the world.
Such a person never rubs sand in her eyes unless she wants to.
That is, these idle people... If it were another high-ranking official, who would dare to easily take the idea of Mrs. Chu's house? Do you want the lives of the whole family?
Ma Sanbao wanted to ask Wuhan University at this time, does your grandpa know what you are doing?
Not to mention other things, your grandpa, Samurai Yu, serves in the Ministry of Household Affairs. It’s fine that you, a son, don’t restrain yourself. You actually dare to pursue the idea of the northern border market. Do you really think that all the censors in the court are just doing it?
Ma Sanbao looked at Wu Da like a fool, but Wu Yuanqing thought that this guy was timid and still hesitant, so he added stupidly.
"As long as Brother Ma nods, I will ask my father to let Brother Ma take a position in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so that he can go to Jinyang to become an official..."
Ma Sanbao couldn't listen anymore, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Why are you so eager, Dalang? I just came back, you have to allow me to take a breath or think about it, right?"
In other words, Ma Sanbao had no grudge against Wu Yuanqing. Otherwise, if he had some bad intentions at this time, he would probably be miserable and even his father would be affected.
You must know that apart from the nobles in the palace, the women who should not be provoked the most in Chang'an City are Li Chun, the eldest princess of Fufeng, Xiao Shi, the wife of Cheng Guo, Li Xiuning, the wife of Chu State...
…………
Ma Sanbao politely declined Wu Yuanqing's proposal.
Wu Yuanqing felt that the other party was ignorant of flattery. His meaning was actually very simple. He wanted to find Ma Sanbao a position in the Ministry of Household Affairs and send him to Jinyang, or simply to Daizhou, to protect his business plan.
Of course, what he valued most was not Ma Sanbao himself, but the Lady of Chu behind Ma Sanbao.
Nowadays, Wu Yuanqing is not the only businessman who is eager to profit from the border market. Others are also eagerly looking forward to it. Wu Yuanqing's advantage lies in his father, Samurai Yun, returning to the Ministry of Household Affairs as the Minister of Household Affairs. This is an advantage that no one else can match.
But the Wu brothers are not disappointed. There are many people who want to do business with them, and there is only one more Ma Sanbao.
So everyone began to concentrate on drinking and having fun.
When he was almost done drinking, he drunkenly took the young lady and stayed in the hotel.
Ma Sanbao was a little drunk. He hugged the warm nephrite beside him and moved his index fingers. But the appearance of the Wu brothers made him a little worried.
In the past, these two prodigal sons were just eating, drinking, and playing around, but now they looked like they wanted to do big things, and he didn't want to get too close to these two.
He simply apologized and walked out of the yard regardless of his persuasion.
When I got outside, I was hit by the cold wind, and I was a little drunk. I was shaking and ordered the two servants to come quickly.
He himself strolled out.
At this time, two people came out from the front, and they met each other vaguely in the light of the light. One of them let out a sigh and stood in front of Ma Sanbao in a big way.
"Why is Masaburo here?"
He spoke rudely and rudely, as if he was seeking revenge.
Ma Sanbao opened his drunken eyes and looked carefully, but he recognized the person. He was shocked and felt that he had sobered up a lot.
He quickly bowed his hands and said, "What a coincidence, I met Brother Hu. I haven't seen you for several years. How nice is my brother?"
The person who came was none other than Hu Da. He and Ma Sanbao were old acquaintances.
At that time, he followed Li Wu and others to the south and moved into Li Xiuning's mansion in the name of Li Yuan's relatives. At that time, Ma Sanbao was working as a steward in the mansion.
Later, Li Xiuning escaped from the capital, and both of them became her subordinates and served in the Detachment of Women. However, their responsibilities were different. Ma Sanbao became the general leading the army, and Hu Daze was always guarding Li Xiuning.
People like Hu Da were serious frontier heroes. They were ordered to come south, so they were naturally separated from people like Ma Sanbao. Even a well-rounded person like Ma Sanbao rarely interacted with Hu Da and others.
When Li Yuan entered Chang'an, Hu Da and others immediately disappeared and no longer appeared in front of everyone.
There will be people who will talk about them and admire their courage. They have made great contributions to the Li family, but they miss the kindness of their old master and are unwilling to serve.
Speaking of which, Ma Sanbao and Hu Da have indeed not seen each other for some years...
……………
Hu Da accidentally caught a Ma Sanbao, looked at it with great interest, and introduced him to the people next to him, "Brother Wang, this is Ma Sanbao. Don't look at him, but he is very popular.
, and he is also very capable of leading troops. If he had not followed the wrong person, he would probably be a general of the Weifu now."
I don't know if this was a compliment or a sarcasm. Ma Sanbao, who was so dizzy from drinking, couldn't react. He just smiled wryly and held his hands in humility.
There was a series of complaints in my heart. I once again felt that I didn't look at the almanac when I went out today. I just wanted to go out and walk around, and I met such terrible people.
Hu Da's impression in his mind was not very good. He was an assassin or a dead soldier, and he had a certain yin energy about him.
Moreover, the people Li Wu brought to Chang'an were not easy to mess with, and they were extremely capable in fighting. They had always been Li Xiuning's personal bodyguards in the Detachment of Women.
It made Ma Sanbao and others deeply aware of the strength and ferocity of the frontier garrison, but such elite soldiers were sent to Chang'an to protect the princess. It was evident that the prince of Jin cared about the princess.
Of course, no matter what they thought at the time, looking back now, everything seems to be a matter of course. Without that kind of affection, everyone would probably be devastated.
After a brief introduction to each other, Ma Sanbao found out that the person accompanying Hu Da was named Wang Jing. He heard that his surname was Wang, and he still sounded like Jin. Ma Sanbao felt that this person should be from the Wang family in Jinyang.
.
As soon as Hu Da's eyes flashed, Ma Sanbao couldn't leave.
"Let's go and have a few drinks with me."
Ma Sanbao still wanted to shirk, but Hu Da had already grabbed his arm. It was still the same as before. In the darkness, his smile showed a bit of a sinister spirit, "What? You look down on me, Hu Da?"
Ma Sanbao really wanted to have the guts to say, "Why do I just look down on you?" But he was really a coward, with the most sincere smile on his face, and his legs and feet couldn't help but follow Hu Da's footsteps.
"What did my brother say? It's not like you don't know who I am, Ma Sanbao. I just did what my brother said back then, and it's the same now.
Brother, please don’t pull me away, I won’t run away.”
Hu Da laughed loudly and said to Wang Jing: "Look, I'm right, Saburo is very good at talking. I don't know how many bandits of Kansai were fooled by him just by relying on this mouth."
Wang Jing, the popular team leader, was also amused, "Being able to speak nice words is your skill. If the ladies in this building are not coaxed, how can they serve you wholeheartedly?
Ma Xiandi seems to be a promising person..."
What he said... Ma Sanbao felt uncomfortable hearing this, so he asked tentatively: "May I ask, what is Brother Wang's current position? I guess his hometown is in Shanxi. It happens that my ancestral home is also there, just for many years.
I’ve never gone back.”
Wang Jing is still living the life of a fairy, but even at her old age, she still lingers in the land of fireworks.
At this time, he said casually: "My ancestral home is Jinyang, and I work as a scribe in the Ministry of War. Dear brother, you don't need to be so restrained. When you come to Caiyufang, you just want to see the true Buddha and not talk about worldly things."
Ma Sanbao blinked his eyes with a confused look on his face. Is your Buddha in Caiyufang? Could it be the Happy Buddha?
However, being able to walk with Hu Da was definitely not a good idea. Ma Sanbao was extremely cautious and even regretted that he had drank too much just now. He was a bit out of his depth in front of these two people.
Sorry, the Wu brothers misunderstood me too much.
He had already made up his mind to report to the princess tomorrow and hide in the house for a while...
………………
The styles of Hu Da and Wang Jing are completely different from those of the Wu brothers.
Hu Da is quite old. Although he still has a restless heart, he does a lot of dirty work and doesn't like the excitement.
Wang Jing... Compared with him, how can the Wu brothers be called out for fun? They are not on the same level at all.
When he comes to the store, it's like going home. He can stay here for several months without anyone coming to chase him away. He doesn't even need to spend money. Naturally, someone will give him a cushion. As for the store, he still has to work with him.
When meeting a young lady, she only cares about her own wishes.
Before Ma Sanbao drank too much, he walked with them for a while and realized that these two people were completely incompatible with each other. As for why they were able to hang out together, only God knows.
Without being guided by the store owner, Wang Jing, who was familiar with the business, took the other two into a small courtyard. Someone was already waiting here and respectfully led them into the hall.
Ma Sanbao took a look, this should be the Accord in the building, right?
The courtyard where the Wu brothers served wine was much simpler than this one.
The hall is not only hung with calligraphy and paintings, but there are also two sets of piano tables on the outside. The charcoal fire is burning brightly, making the room warm as spring. There is a stone room at the back of the hall with the sound of rushing water. It is specially used for guests to wash.
A place where mandarin ducks bathe, with serious hot spring water.
Even if people come here later, they won't feel any disobedience. Whatever tricks you want to play, this place can prepare it for you.
This is the Xiaojin Kiln in the building. If you are not a regular customer and you don’t have any money in your pocket, even if you have a high status, the store will not take you here.
Wang Jing took the main seat in a grand manner, and without his instructions, the food and wine were passed around, and three pretty young ladies in light clothes came slowly, lighting up the hall.
Seeing the posture and behavior of the three young ladies, Ma Sanbao was convinced. The scene just now was really not up to par...
