After receiving Jia Ke's reply, Qian Mao trotted all the way to the door of Wuyang Hou Mansion.
At this time, King Beijing had been waiting in the sedan chair for a long time. However, Wuyang Hou Mansion was still nowhere to be seen, so he opened the central gate and came to greet him.
Not only him, but his subordinates also started to make noises. After all, as King Beijing, in terms of title, Jia Ke was not even ranked in front of Shui Rong. When he saw Shui Rong, he had to give him a thousand gifts.
In addition, King Beijing suffered a loss in the Xiaoqi camp a few days ago, and all of his guards were killed by Luo Cen.
King Beijing still had trouble saying anything about this matter. After all, he ordered Luo Cen to be controlled in the first place, which was a taboo.
Although King Beijing didn't say anything, the guards under him had long been holding their breath. After all, they were brothers who had worked hard with him for many years. They all disappeared after a visit to the military camp. Whoever left them was
It was also uncomfortable. So the guards thought that they must give Jia Ke some love when they came to Wuyanghou Mansion today.
While Shui Rong was getting anxious, the side door of Wuyang Hou's Mansion opened a crack, and the housekeeper who had just sent him a message came out.
Qian Mao quickly came to the sedan chair of King Beijing and gave him a thousand gifts. "My dear, please pay your respects to the prince."
"What's going on with you adults? Why haven't you come out to greet me?" Shui Rong's tone was a little bad, but he didn't have a good temper after being left outside the house for so long.
Moreover, King Beijing is getting angry now because he wants to express the anger he suffered at Xiaoqi Camp this morning here.
It's just that King Beijing forgot who Jia Ke was and where this place was.
Qian Mao also heard Shui Rong's anger, but he still said with a smile: "I would like to ask the prince to atone for his sins. I was negligent and forgot to ask the prince something. I asked him clearly about this matter."
It’s easy to arrange.”
Wang Shui of Beijing melted in the sedan, and his face immediately darkened. He remembered the treatment he received in the Xiaoqi camp in the morning. Is Jia Ke going to embarrass him again now?
"If you have anything to ask, just say it." In the end, he endured this tone. After all, he knew that if he wanted to take office, Jia Ke would have to speak out.
Qian Mao had a smile on his face, bowed his body, and was extremely respectful, "Your Majesty, I just forgot to ask you whether you are here to visit as the King of Beijing, or as the Supervisor of the Xiaoqi Camp."
After hearing this, Wang Shuirong of Beijing couldn't bear it anymore and opened the curtain of the sedan chair and walked out.
Shui Rong asked Qian Mao with a gloomy face, "What do you think of the identity of King Beijing? What do the supervisors of Xiaoqi Camp say?"
Qian Mao also straightened up at this time and replied loudly: "If the prince comes to visit you as the King of Beijing, my master will naturally open the middle door wide and come to greet you in court clothes. If you come as a Xiaoqi
If you come to see you as a camp supervisor, you can only enter through the side door and wait at the door of the study to see when our master has time to meet you."
After Qian Mao said these words, he immediately became arrogant and vented all the anger he had just expressed in front of King Beijing.
King Beijing was so angry that he couldn't bear it anymore. The guards around him couldn't bear it anymore. They had been holding their breath for a long time and were thinking about how to bring some color back to their dead brother.
Now I am being treated so indifferently at the gate of Wuyanghou Mansion, which is unbearable for any person.
So two of them with bad tempers rushed over, grabbed Qian Mao's clothes and tried to beat him up.
The few soldiers standing guard at the gate of Wuyang Hou Mansion could not tolerate them running wild at the gate of the house. So they also rushed over and snatched Qian Mao from the hands of the two guards.
When the guards of King Beijing saw these soldiers rushing forward, they rushed forward. The two sides immediately stood at war with each other at the gate of Wuyang Hou Mansion, and a firefight was about to begin.
At this time, Beijing Wang Shuirong calmed down. He knew that if a fight broke out at the gate of Wuyang Hou Mansion, he would be even more miserable in the Xiaoqi camp in the future. Moreover, with Jia Ke's power, he could beat him right away.
dust.
So he scolded King Beijing and his guards: "Stop, what kind of place is this? Where are you running wild? Why don't you get out of here quickly?"
Only seven of the guards of King Beijing stepped aside in dissatisfaction and eight indignantly. Although they stepped aside, they were all very angry and glared at the soldiers of Wuyang Hou Mansion.
Qian Mao was so scared that he was shaking all over. He didn't expect that King Beijing's guards would take action if they disagreed.
King Beijing hurriedly stepped forward to support Qian Mao, and said gently: "Steward Qian, please be considerate. These guards, Xiao Wang, are all rough men, and they bumped into you for a moment. Xiao Wang will take them here.
I will apologize to you."
When Qian Mao saw that King Beijing was apologizing to him, he was also frightened by the guard of King Beijing just now. Now he did not dare to embarrass King Beijing anymore, so he quickly returned the gift and said: "How dare you be a gift from the prince? This is not a shame.
Are you a villain?"
The soldiers behind Qian Mao saw King Beijing apologizing and then retreated to the door again.
Beijing Wang Shuirong said to Qian Mao gently: "Steward Qian, Xiao Wang, I came to visit Mr. Jia this time as the supervisor of the Xiaoqi camp. If I want to see the Shangguan, I naturally can't go through the main door. Use the side door.
You should go in."
Qian Mao breathed a sigh of relief. If the King of Beijing was unreasonable and insisted on taking the main entrance, there would probably be another conflict.
This money trader has always been timid. Although he is cautious in doing things and has never made any mistakes, he is really weak in communication. He has not yet fully adapted to Jia Ke's power. He is still afraid of the big man like King Beijing. If
What greeted them at this time was Liu Yu, who had already beaten the guards of King Beijing and sent them to the infantry commander's office.
So Qian Mao also respectfully said to King Beijing: "Unexpectedly, the prince is here as the supervisor of the Xiaoqi camp. Then please follow the villain and go through the side door."
After Qian Mao said this, he held his hands and led the way. Wang Shuirong of Beijing followed behind. When they arrived at the side door, the guards under King Beijing were actually stopped.
Jia Ke's soldiers wielded swords and guns to block King Beijing's guards from entering the Wuyang Hou Mansion.
King Beijing was really angry now, and asked Qian Mao in a bad tone: "What does Steward Qian mean?"
Seeing this, Qian Mao seemed to be in conflict again, so he hurriedly came to these soldiers and said, "You guys, what's going on? Why are you stopping King Beijing's soldiers?"
One of the leaders of these soldiers bowed down when he saw Qian Mao asking: "Steward Qian, how can these people enter our Wuyang Marquis Mansion with weapons? Who can afford to take care of the nobles if they collide with them?"
When Qian Mao heard what he said, he immediately became excited. What the soldier said was reasonable. The King of Beijing had a high position and had no reason to bring his soldiers and swords to visit other people's houses.
Qian Mao waved his hand and asked the soldier to return to his position, then turned around and said to King Beijing: "Please also ask Prince Haihan, how can your guards with swords and guns enter the Wuyang Marquis Mansion? Besides, let's talk about it.
, how can a lower official pay a visit to a superior official and bring a group of guards to go there."
Although he explained to King Beijing, he did not give in at all. Now Qian Mao has understood that King Beijing is not here to pay a visit this time. If he really wanted to pay his respects sincerely, why would the guards be so arrogant or bring soldiers?
I want to break into someone else's mansion.
King Beijing thought about the emperor's instructions and finally suppressed his anger. He turned around and said to his guards: "You guys wait outside the mansion. In the future, the Wuyang Marquis Mansion will not be a dragon's den or a tiger's den. What threat can I pose?"
After King Beijing said this, he glanced sideways at Qian Mao, which was obviously meant for him.
But Qian Mao looked like a wooden man from nose to nose, which made King Beijing really unable to do anything to him.
Although the guards of King Beijing were not happy to be blocked from the door, since King Beijing had spoken, they could only wait helplessly outside the door.
When Qian Mao saw that the matter was resolved, he took Prince Beijing into Wuyang Hou Mansion.
After the King of Beijing entered the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, he looked around and found that the decoration here was exquisitely decorated with carved beams and paintings. In addition to not being as good as his palace in terms of regulations, in terms of exquisiteness and meticulousness, it was much better than his Beijing Prince's Mansion. It was also larger in scale than his.
The palace is bigger.
The two of them walked along the corridor and passed through several moon doors, and finally arrived at Jia Ke's study.
Qian Mao came to the door of the study and asked the boy in charge of the study: "Is the uncle here?"
Seeing that it was Qian Mao, the young man quickly saluted and said, "I would like to pay my respects to the butler. In reply to the butler's words, the uncle has not come yet."
After listening to what the boy said, Qian Mao thought for a while, turned around and said to King Beijing: "Your Majesty, please wait in the study for a moment. I will go in and report to Your Majesty again."
Ever since he entered the Wuyang Hou Mansion, King Beijing knew that Jia Ke would not see him so easily. Therefore, the anger at the door of the house had calmed down and said, "Steward Qian, just go ahead. There is no need to greet me."
Qian Mao let King Beijing into the study, and then ordered the servant to bring fragrant tea. Then he informed King Beijing.
After Qian Mao left, King Beijing carefully observed Jia Ke's study and found that it was unusual. On the ancient shelves in front, there were various exquisite carvings and porcelain, many of which he had never seen even in the Prince of Beijing.
There is also a painting hanging on the study room, the story of which is the "Picture of Burning Quinoa", and there is also a couplet, which reads: "Knowledge of worldly affairs is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is writing."
At first glance, these paintings and calligraphy are from the hands of famous artists, and they have been seen for a long time. Looking at other places, all the furniture is carved from precious huanghuali, and the rows of bookshelves on the last wall, above
The shelves were full of various books. King Beijing went up to look through them and found that except for some popular books, most of them were original copies of the previous dynasty. These books were all priceless.
When King Beijing saw this, he felt a little ridiculed in his heart. Even Jia Ke, a martial artist, had only read a few books for a few years and knew a few words. Putting so many books looked like decoration at first glance. It was a waste of these precious and unique books.
While King Beijing was looking around in the study, the servant brought fragrant tea. King Beijing sat on the guest seat and tasted the tea.
As soon as King Beijing drank the tea, he felt something was wrong. These teas were completely different from the tea he usually used. Even many tribute teas were not as good. Moreover, the tea leaves were completely golden, like gold. Then he suddenly remembered
In Miao territory, there is a kind of golden tea. The leaves of this tea look like they are carved from gold. Every time you pick the tea, you cannot use your hands. A girl under the age of sixteen must pick it up with her teeth.
