After talking for a long time, we still got around to Liu Rushi's question just now. Wu Shigong is also a flexible and flexible person, and today's banquet must not offend Xu Wenjue. Otherwise, the meaning of attending this banquet will be completely lost.
Therefore, Wu Shigong was not afraid of embarrassment. He smiled and bowed to Liu Rushi and said, "I'm really sorry! Please forgive me, Liu."
But Liu Rushi still turned her body and ignored Wu Shigong. Seeing this scene, Gu Hengbo smoothed things over. She smiled and said to Wu Shigong: "Sister Liu just asked you what poems you have!"
What kind of work is it? Wu Shigong is a little confused. Do he have to learn from those time-traveling predecessors who copied poems? But the possessed Wu Shigong only remembers Tang poems and Song poems! What he did himself is not even as cultural as Wu Shigong.
Even a tall person can hear it, but it can only be called a limerick at best.
Before time travel, Wu Shigong had read a few time travel historical novels, and he only remembered the harem and glass-making. He didn't remember even one of the plagiarized poems. Who would make such preparations?
I can't say that I haven't remembered one of them. Wu Shigong still remembers the phrase "If life is just like the first time we met" by Nalan Xingde, who deceived brothel girls into trying everything, which appeared very frequently in time-travel novels at that time.
.However, the author of the original lyrics and the full text of the poem are no longer impressed by Wu Shigong. Why would Wu Shigong remember this sentence in his memory? That's because Wu Shigong had already changed this sentence in a bad way to "Life is like a retarded person like first love".
But now Wu Shigong is asking Liu Rushi to recite "Retarded life is like first love"? Then he is really mentally retarded. There is no shame in admitting defeat, so Wu Shigong said with a smile: "I don't understand poetry, how can I be as smart as Liu?
What a show!"
At this time, Wu Shigong was still praising Liu Rushi. He wanted to solve Liu Rushi's trouble earlier and get back to the main topic of the day as soon as possible.
Seeing that Liu Rushi still had a droopy face, the scene was still a bit embarrassing. Gu Hengbo smiled again and said: "Then Mr. Wu is wrong. I have to drink three drinks as a penalty! I have to make amends to Sister Liu."
Just drink, as long as the trouble is solved. Wu Shigong was also happy and drank three cups in a row. Seeing that he had saved a little face, Liu Rushi could no longer act pretentious and turned around to thank Wu Shigong.
The scene was calmed down, but Wu Shigong would not let them continue this art salon. If they continue drinking and talking like this, they would not be able to talk about anything serious today. So Wu Shigong asked while the iron was hot: "What about the younger brother, how is the prince doing?"
Did you see it?"
Wu Shigong wanted Xu Wenjue to express his position clearly. But Wu Shigong's question offended Liu Rushi again.
From Liu Rushi's point of view, Mr. Wu who was accompanying him today was too irritating. He just didn't support her and didn't pay attention to what she said. At least he had to look like a pig brother who just sat down at the table. Otherwise, what would happen?
How does it reflect Liu Rushi's worth? But he is good. Ignorance doesn't count, vulgarity doesn't count, but he never discusses elegant art and talks endlessly about mundane things.
So Liu Rushi grimaced again and sat sideways. She curled her lips and squeezed out two words in a voice like a bell: "Disappointment!" Although Liu Rushi's words were very soft, the space in this room was not big.
.Everyone here also heard these two words.
Of course Wu Shigong, who was sitting next to Liu Rushi, also heard it. However, he turned a deaf ear to it and was quite self-indulgent. He was just afraid that offending Xu Wenjue would mess up the money borrowing matter.
Among the guests present, some of them have long been dissatisfied with Wu Shigong. Among them is Mr. Wei, who originally ranked second among the "princelings". Logically speaking, Liu Rushi should be accompanying Wu Shigong today.
His was defeated first by Wu Shigong, a bumpkin from the north. Therefore, Mr. Wei had long been unhappy.
So Wei Gongzi supported Liu Rushi and said: "It's really unreasonable. Today is a beautiful day and I should ask you for some advice on poetry, but you do this disappointing thing. Besides, the army should ask for the necessities from the imperial court. How can I ask for it from my relatives and friends?"
What’s the reason for borrowing from each other? I’ve heard for a long time that Marquis Wu’s family was very strict. When I saw him today, hehehe!”
Hearing another sarcasm, Wu Shigong still turned a deaf ear. He looked at Xu Wenjue with a smile but firmly, just to ask the prince of Wei Guogong to give a definite answer.
Feeling the look in Wu Shigong's eyes, Xu Wenjue knew that he couldn't dodge. He forced out a smile and said to Wu Shigong: "Brother Wu Xian, please be patient. If you have anything to do, please leave it to me. I'll give it to you."
How about going to the yamen of the Ministry of War in Nanjing and asking all the gentlemen to give you an answer as soon as possible?"
Wu Shigong's eyes were filled with disappointment. The meaning of Xu Wenjue's excuse was too obvious. You know, if Xu Wenjue was willing to help, he would have said, "Wei Guogong said hello to the Yamen of the Ministry of War or the Nanjing garrison eunuch." But now
I'm just helping to hand over a coupon. Isn't that unnecessary?
But Wu Shigong didn't give up yet. He took a deep breath and then said with a smile: "My brother, the loan is not in vain. I have some fertile land in Henan. I am willing to use the land deeds of these fertile fields as a mortgage, and it will take a year to turn over."
Seeing Wu Shigong's repeated pestering, Xu Wenjue became a little impatient. He blurted out: "The Shaanxi bandits are on the side, who will want your land in Henan?" Feeling that his tone was a bit harsh, Xu Wenjue then smiled and said: "Hugh
Let’s talk about this. Today I am my brother and I will show you something. Tomorrow I will give you a small profit. My brother will have a few more days of fun in Nanjing City, and then go back to the army in Henan as soon as possible. "
Seeing that Wu Shigong wanted to speak, the Young Master Wei said again: "If brother Wu Xian has something going on at home, of course the prince will not stand idly by. But if there is something going on in the army outside, why does it matter to me? Stop talking!"
These words suddenly shocked Wu Shigong on the spot. Wu Shigong kept mumbling the words "There is something going on in the army outside, what does it matter to me?", and immediately understood that this banquet was actually a banquet for relatives and friends, and it was not an idea at all.
Find money for yourself.
Wu Shigong felt that his blood was rising all of a sudden, and he couldn't bear it anymore. In order to prevent his uncontrollable temper from being vented all at once, Wu Shigong had to stand up, forced a smile and said to Xu Wenjue: "I'm sorry, go change your clothes!" and then followed.
Following the little maid who led the way, he hurriedly walked towards the dressing area in Meilou.
Wu Shigong didn't know at all that no matter how eloquent he was today, none of the dandies here would give him a result. Although those people had strong family backgrounds, they couldn't make the decision in their own families.
There is no way he can decide to borrow such a large amount of money. Therefore, Wu Shigong today is destined to return without success. (To be continued...
