Chapter 805 Tour Guide
Not to mention that in Hengwu Garden, the sisters and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have different thoughts.
But early in the morning, Wang Xifeng heard that Lai Wang's wife had leaked the news, and she was so angry that her three ghosts jumped up and down, and smoke came out of her seven orifices.
He called his wife Wang over, slapped her twice on the face, and then scolded her like an old lady.
This was only because Lai Wang had worked hard for two years in the south. Otherwise, I would have wanted to pick up a bench and smash her brains out.
After venting her anger, Wang Xifeng finally calmed down a little. She was alone in the flower hall, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.
That's right.
In Wang Xifeng's view, it was not entirely a bad thing to make the matter clear. At least she could spend the money with a legitimate reason.
Of course, this is also because the current situation has undergone a tremendous change - although this change is not what Wang Xifeng is happy to see.
The reason why he had to run the timber business with the Sun family in secret was that he was afraid that the government would interfere and take a share of his profits.
Now that it has become a foregone conclusion, there is naturally no need to worry about anything.
Secondly, Jia Lian hated Sun Shaozong deeply at that time, and as a married woman, it was naturally not easy for Wang Xifeng to cooperate openly with the Sun family.
But now...
If Jia Lian knew that there was such a reason to get close to Sun Shaozong, he would be so happy that he would not be able to contain his joy. How could he possibly object?
Therefore, the two obstacles that were most feared at the beginning are now nothing.
As for other minor details, there are ways to get around them.
For example, Jia Lian acted as a shield, saying that he did not dare to publicize the matter in the mansion because he was afraid of angering Jia Lian.
For example, choosing the Sun family as partners was to support Jia Yingchun, the sister-in-law - this could be considered politically correct.
And then there is…
In short, Wang Xifeng had prepared a lot of words, just waiting to confess them in front of others.
Who would have thought that after waiting for a long time, the several serious masters in the mansion didn't say a word, which made Wang Xifeng feel like she had punched the air and felt very depressed.
But since no one else made the matter clear, she took the initiative to explain it, which made it seem like she was trying to cover up something.
After much thought, I decided to inform Jia Lian and let him, the "man" who supports the family, expose the matter thoroughly.
So Wang Xifeng immediately ordered someone to go to Wangjiang Tower near the Prison God Temple to invite back Mr. Lian who was learning opera.
…
Qian Qi, the servant on duty in the front yard, had received instructions from Wang Xifeng, so he naturally should not be negligent in the slightest. He rode his horse all the way to Wangjiang Tower and was about to go in to look for his second master, but he was stopped outside the door by someone with a sword.
"do what?!"
Qian Qi was frightened and took three steps back. Then he shouted in a timid tone, "I am from the Rongguo Mansion. Try to touch a hair on my head!"
The two men with swords in hand did not answer, but just held the scabbards and stared at him blankly.
At this time, Qian Qi had already realized that the two people in front of him were probably not Han men, but barbarians from foreign countries - so they were not necessarily unwilling to answer, but they simply did not understand.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, why did these barbarians from a foreign country come to Wangjiang Tower and block the door?
Could it be that the boss of Wangjiang Tower hired a few barbarians as security guards?
Just as he was puzzled, someone suddenly poked his head out from inside and said, "Oh, was it the master of Rongguo Mansion who was speaking just now? I'm really sorry, but we have envoys from Korea paying tribute in our building, and even our shop assistants are not allowed to come in and out as they please."
A barbarian indeed!
Qian Qi curled his lips and said with his chest puffed out, "I don't care about North Korea or Goryeo. You should quickly go to my Second Master Lian and tell him that my Second Madam has something urgent to discuss with him."
The shop assistant responded repeatedly, and then said a few more words of rudeness before turning around and going inside to report.
…
The backyard of Wangjiang Tower.
There was a lot of singing and dancing on the stage, but there were only a few people listening to the show in the corridor.
The leaders were none other than Sun Shaozong and the Korean envoy Li Enxian - yes, the one sent by the Korean Gao family this time was the same one who paid tribute by sea last time.
Originally, the King of Korea planned to deliver the tribute gifts before Emperor Guangde's birthday banquet in order to bring good luck to the banquet.
Who would have thought that the weather was not good? In October, a storm arose in the Bohai Bay, which delayed the voyage for more than half a month before the tribute fleet was able to set sail.
By the time the fleet landed in Tianjin, it was already October 19th.
Fortunately, although it missed the Wanshou Festival, it encountered the rebellion in southern Xinjiang. Comparing the two situations, the well-behaved Kingdom of Korea naturally received special treatment.
It was because Li Enxian saw that the Chinese officials were very enthusiastic that he tried to find an acquaintance to take him around Beijing.
And the acquaintance he referred to was naturally Sun Shaozong, with whom he had dealt twice.
Although we are said to be acquaintances, in fact we have only met twice and we don't have a deep friendship.
Therefore, when Sun Shaozong received a notice from the Ministry of Rites asking him to act as a tour guide, he was very puzzled.
However, although there is no saying that "no matter how small a matter is in diplomacy" these days, the five countries in southern Xinjiang happened to be in rebellion, and the court also wanted to compare it with Korea , so Sun Shaozong naturally could not refuse.
At that moment, Sun Shaozong had no choice but to put aside his official duties - in fact, the Dali Temple did not have much serious official business - and take Ambassador Li on a tour of the capital.
But he didn't know what Ambassador Li wanted to see.
If you want to see mountains and rivers, you have to go out of the city.
As for things that are too exciting, it is not good to bring foreign friends to see them.
After much deliberation, Sun Shaozong simply took him to Wangjiang Tower and invited Jiang Yuhan to perform on stage.
Not to mention, Li Enxian really liked this and kept shouting "good" to him, making it difficult for Sun Shaozong to decide whether to accompany him or not.
After seeing the lukewarm transition, Li Enxian calmed down a little.
But before Sun Shaozong could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard him speak again: "Sir Sun, I heard that the five countries in southern Xinjiang rebelled this time. Are you also going to lead the troops southward?"
This Korean stick has quite long ears.
Sun Shaozong smiled and shook his head, saying, "Prince Consort Li is indeed well-informed, but it's just a rumor. I have just started working at the Dali Temple and am about to make some achievements. Why would I go south at this time?"
After a pause, he added: "Besides, our Celestial Empire is vast and rich in resources, and is full of talented people. We are not short of unknown generals like Sun."
"Lord Sun, you are too modest. I'm sure there are not many people like you who are both civil and military in the Celestial Empire."
Li Enxian praised Sun Shaozong, and then said with a burning gaze: "I also heard that your respected brother is also a general, and he has repeatedly defeated the prestige of the Later Jin Jurchens in recent days. I wonder if this is true?"
It turns out this guy came for his elder brother!
But weren't the people in Liaodong who oppressed Korea the Heishui Mohe? How did it suddenly become the Later Jin?
Even if we change to the original world line, it would take another two hundred years for Wild Boar Skin to establish the Later Jin Dynasty, right?
"Lord Sun has just returned from the south, so I'm afraid you haven't heard that the barbarians of the Mohe tribe have already recognized the Jin Kingdom as their ancestor and are preparing to establish a country."
No wonder my eldest brother ignored the training in Jinmen Prefecture and took the soldiers of Shenjiying to the Liaodong frontier - now that I think about it, this should also be the intention of the imperial court to use new firearms to intimidate the barbarians of the Mohe tribe.
I don’t know why Li Enxian came to me.
