Chapter 989: Above the attic, the heads of two families
On both sides of the door frame, there are two stone carvings of "Crane, Phoenix and Green Bamboo"! There is an inscription on it: Wuqu Hebi Festival, with the words "Solid Phoenix Lai Yi"!
After passing through the Five Fortune Gates, you have truly entered the mansion!
In front of you is a spacious bluestone road that can accommodate three carriages running parallel. There are still high walls on both sides, and occasionally there are small doors for servants to enter and exit! After entering the gate, there is also a spacious stone road on both sides, and you can vaguely see a building.
The courtyards are separated to form separate portals.
,
Go straight ahead, pass three horizontal stone roads, and walk about a hundred steps until you reach the end of this straight blue stone road. Four courtyards on the left and right, which are taller and more spacious than before, are arranged in sequence!
The courtyard on the left in the middle is called "Zhongxiao Hall". After entering the gate, passing through the flower hall of the courtyard, the moon gate is inscribed with the words "Lan Guiyuan"! Inside Lan Guiyuan, there are rockeries and winding roads.
Follow the path to the end, and you will see a three-story wooden attic. On the plaque of the attic, there are the words "Cheng Huai Ju"!
In the quiet attic, two middle-aged men were sitting next to each other. The tea on the table was lightly scented! Behind them, several pretty maids stood bowing to serve.
The man on the left gently took a sip of tea and nodded with satisfaction, "Brother Fan came to my Wang family, but Wang could only serve him with Brother Fan's tea! It's really a bit of a joke, but don't say that we in Chengdu
In the Mansion, even in the entire Song Dynasty, I am afraid that only Brother Fan can have such good tea! Speaking of which, if I hadn’t been blessed by Brother Fan, how could I have tasted this exquisite product!”
The man on the right smiled slightly, "It's just some tea leaves, what does it matter! Isn't the silk I'm wearing the finest Shu brocade from Brother Wang's family?"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing loudly!
These two middle-aged men are the head of the famous Wang and Fan families, Wang Hui of the Wang family, and Fan Zhize, the head of the Fan family! The huge watchtower-like house that we passed through just now is the Wang family's house.
"Brother Wang, I heard that one went to Zhengxing?"
Fan Zhize asked calmly.
Wang Hui nodded slightly, "That's right, but I heard it's just to take my beloved wife on a sightseeing tour!"
As he spoke, Wang Hui smiled disdainfully, with a look of disdain on his face.
"If it's really just a sightseeing trip, that's it! However, this guy doesn't seem to have a stable temperament! It's just a job in the government office. Now that he's out, no one knows what his purpose is!"
"Do not worry!"
Wang Hui said, "I have deployed people to watch secretly, and I will not let people in the workshop come into contact with them! There will be no trouble! Even if he has great abilities, in Huayang County, without you and me speaking, he can't
Can't make any waves.
However, can our businesses just stop like this?"
"This Shen Tang escaped with his life twice in a row. I don't know whether it was his good luck or a coincidence! In addition, has the incident in Jiangyang Mountain been verified clearly?
How could Shen Tang know so clearly?"
Fan Zhize shook his head, "We have no clues about Xin Jiajun, and those who followed Shen Tang at that time were all close confidants! Moreover, at least when he left the county seat, he did not show any abnormality! During the dozens of miles from the county seat to the inn, we did not
It may be all-encompassing, and anyone may be able to deliver the message.
However, until now, we still haven't found out where this news leaked from.
However, judging from the current situation, Shen Tang has not set his sights on you and me..."
"As for the business you mentioned, don't touch it for now! This Shen Tang is different from others, and several soldiers and horses in Chengdu Mansion belong to him. If he is really aware of it, he is Anything can be done.”
After a pause, Fan Zhize said again, "I heard that Cheng He was arrested by the government?
how?
Haven’t you released it yet?”
"snort!"
Wang Hui sneered, "This unfilial son is always looking for flowers and willows! This time he happened to hit Shen Tang's head! I asked the housekeeper to go there, but the yamen held him captive! However, you are right, it is not appropriate for the time being. Faced with the direct conflict with Shen Tang, I simply let him suffer some hardships in the Yamen, and he only had to cause trouble for me! Fortunately, Cheng Wen is still somewhat capable, otherwise, this huge family fortune will not be ruined in the future. Already?"
"Would you like to look for it again?"
Fan Zhize frowned and asked, "The hands of those people in the Yamen are not clean! It's not a big deal at all. At the worst, I have to give up more money. How can Shen Tang keep people captive?"
"Well..." Wang Hui thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You said, he is in Zhengxing now, what if I go to visit him?
Everyone says that Shen Tang is young and promising, but you and I have never really met him!"
Hearing this, Fan Zhize also started thinking! After a long while, he slowly said, "It's okay to go see him, but Brother Wang must be patient! At least, he can't show hostility directly! Now, this man who is deeply favored by the emperor , if the car, horse and gun are really exposed, it will be difficult for you and me to deal with it.
Moreover, the Princess of Guangling is in his residence, and a group of personal guards have recently arrived! These can become the sword in the hands of Shen Tang at any time."
"Don't worry, I can still tell the difference!"
Wang said in response.
"However, I'm afraid our business won't be able to survive for too long! The pressure over there is very tight, and even the price has increased by as much as 20%! If this way of making money is really cut off, our losses will be huge. Big!"
"This is natural!"
Fan Zhize said, "Let's send the news first and let them calm down for a while, saying that it is not easy to prepare recently and we will postpone it for a while.
If there is really no other way, we can only let people take the risk and take a trip."
"By the way, do you think we should bring over that old fox Yu Wenxuan? In terms of channels, that old fox is stronger than both of us combined. If we bring him in, not only will our business be able to If it's a little bigger, it can even make Shen Tang throw a rat weapon.
By then, Shen Tang will know it, let’s see what he can do!”
Wang thought about it, then shook his head and said, "That old fox has always hidden too deep. You can test him first, but whether you want to let him participate or not, we need to consider it in the long term."
"Master! The banquet is ready..."
A young man in green clothes entered the attic, and Wang and Fan stopped talking! Wang Hui stood up and said, "Brother Fan, you haven't been to my place for a while. Since you are here today, you must drink with me well." One cup! In addition, not long ago, I sent some beauties from Yangzhou. Brother Fan will have a good taste later..."
After that, the two of them laughed and walked out of the attic!
