Chapter 41 The 41st return interview with teacher and friend Wanniang entered the secret room and said that the iron beggar and tiger minister broke into the Chinese army

He Guizhu brought Aunt Su Ma to the back hall.Borrowing a third room, there is not even a bed, only a table, a few wooden chairs lined up on both sides, and a central hall painting of a tiger roaring in Longquan hanging on the wall.Aunt Su Ma was about to ask a question, but He Guizhu had lifted up the painting in the central hall, pressed some mechanism, and half of the wall slid to reveal a door.It turned out to be a false wooden wall with a passageway inside.He Guizhu went in first, followed by La Aunt Su Ma. The road inside is even more complicated, with seven turns and eight turns, and roads everywhere.According to He Guizhu, except for one of them, the rest are blocked.Aunt Su Ma felt more and more surprised, and asked as she walked along, "Xiao Weizi's house was very shallow before, why is it so big now?"

"This came about in the first ten days," He Guizhu said, "Master Wei bought the half of the street in the back. I heard that this road is the 'Bagua Fascination Formation' that Wu Erye changed from the original alley. Hey , this is the second master's residence! As He Guizhu said, he had arrived in front of a small courtyard, patted the ring on the door, and called softly: "Second master, please open the door, I am Zhu'er! " The door opened with a bang.Wu Ciyou was wearing an antique bronze shirt and a black satin leather vest. He came out without a hat and opened the door.

Seeing that it was La Aunt Su Ma, Wu Ciyou frowned, sparks of excitement flickered in his eyes, and then he smiled heartily: "Ha! It's Wanniang! Please come in!" The little boy servant who was 18 years old called out: "Mo Xiang, there are guests here, make tea quickly!" The little boy agreed and went to the side room.He Guizhu said with a smile: "You two sit wide, Zhu'er is in front of me to take care of you." "Master Wei, come back and tell me!" Aunt Su Ma confessed to He Guizhu again, and when he saw him leave, she turned to Wu Ciyou and said, "I heard that your health is not in good health, what medicine do you take? You can ask the doctor to see it." Pass?"

"I don't need to see a doctor for my minor illness." Wu Ciyou smiled wryly, "Although I am not very good at medicine, I can still take care of myself." Speaking of this, Aunt Su Ma hesitated to speak, feeling that she still had a lot to ask, but she just couldn't say it.The cold wind was blowing outside the window, and the room was as warm as spring. It was the first time that their eyes met in this quiet and secluded place.Especially after the catastrophe at Baiyun Temple, I haven't seen each other for many days, and I have a lot to say, but I don't know where to start.And it seems that at this very moment, sitting quietly and without saying a word can express my heart better than thousands of words.Although each of them couldn't help their hearts beating wildly, uneasy, and restrained, as if they had no place to put their feet, none of them wanted to break this intriguing silence first.

After an unknown amount of time, Aunt Su Ma felt that it could not go on like this.Then he pretended to remember it just now, and said with a smile: "Long'er has been really thinking about Mr., it's cold, let me send you some clothes. After this time, Mr.'s calamity has passed, and he will invite you back Teaching!" As she spoke, she unwrapped a soft gauze wrapper.When I shook it off and looked at it, it was a jade-colored fox fur trimmed with sable fur.When Wu Ciyou walked over to look at it, he found that lightness, softness, smoothness, and density are indeed very valuable, so he smiled and said, "I'm just an example, a commoner scholar, if you wear this thing, don't let people take it as a thief, and it will also be stolen by thieves." Already!" La Aunt Su Ma couldn't help but smile slightly.Just at this time, the little boy came in with tea, and Wu Ciyou personally served Wanniang a cup, and then sat down to talk.

"Wanniang," Wu Ciyou said suddenly, "it's just you and me here, what kind of status is this 'Long'er', can you tell me directly?" "What can't you tell me directly?" Aunt Su Ma was taken aback, took a sip of tea to cover it up, and said with a smile, "Mr. , so coquettish that you hold it in your mouth for fear of melting, and hold it in your palm for fear of breaking. Why, you haven’t gone to school for a few days, and the teacher is in a hurry?” "No," Wu Ciyou said thoughtfully, "I've been thinking about it these days, it's really strange to be in a situation like mine. I'm a scholar, living in the capital, why is Mr. Suo so respectful and virtuous? I welcome you to the mansion, but after arriving at the mansion And why are there so few meetings, even if I offended Oboi by writing an article, why would he mobilize the crowd, not hesitate to ruin the face of Master Suo, and seize me? He came to harm me several times, why did Master Suo not send me out of Beijing? So many people are desperate to protect each other?"

Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Su Ma coughed and laughed and fell down: "You, you are really a fool...you are just wishful thinking! If you want to be fair, turn it upside down!——Think for others, why don't you think about it?" Shouldn’t it be the same? Sir Suo shouldn’t be respectful to the corporal, shouldn’t Oboi come to arrest you? Shouldn’t everyone save you? Then I shouldn’t...come to see you!” "No, no, that's not what it means!" Every time Wu Ciyou heard Lagu Su Ma's harsh and sharp words, he was always a little awkward to deal with, "I was wondering if some prince's son was entrusted to Mr. Suo's house. Reading books seems to suit Longer's identity."

When Aunt Su Ma was about to be separated, she suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and it was He Guizhu's voice: "Miss Wan, Master Wei and the others are back. They are waiting ahead!" Wu Ciyou hurriedly said: "Please come over and talk together! "But he didn't listen to Zhu'er's answer, and he was expected to have left.La Aunt Su Ma hurriedly said: "No need, it's getting late, I should go to the front to make a show, and I should go too." As she said that, she got up lazily, gave her a blessing, and said in a low voice: "Mr. "Wu Ciyou felt dejected, forced a smile and said: "Say hello to Long Er... goodbye!"

The "front" that Zhu'er said was actually "the back".In a small courtyard not far from Wu Ciyou, Wei Dongting, Mu Zixu, and Hao Laosi were waiting for Aunt Su Ma.They just came back from Wu Liuyi, Admiral of the Nine Gates. Here are all people who know the details, and there is no need to turn a corner, and they can speak clearly in a few words. Wei Dongting got the news of Feng Mingjun's impeachment from Ao Mansion's insider, earlier than Kangxi knew.After breakfast this morning, Dongting brought Mu Zixu and Hao Laosi to meet Wu Liuyi.Since the release of Zha Yihuang, the two have become friends, and they have always hit it off, and some things can be discussed quite thoroughly, but there is always a piece of paper between them.Wei Dongting painstakingly used topics to lure him several times, hoping that the iron beggar would expose him first: the asking price would be lower.But the iron beggar has his own rules, every time he comes here, there is no "iron" energy, it becomes a cloud of fog, he either stops with a smile, or Wang Gu talks about him - Wei Dongting knows that he is not good for him You can be reckless and heroic, but in your heart you can also laugh at this person as cunning.

The two chatted for a while, Wei Dongting made plans again and again, and decided to break through head-on, with a smile on his face, he fiddled with the tea leaves floating on top of the bowl lid and said: "Brother Tie Beggar, you have a bright future after all. - You know these two brothers too, so I might as well just say it. - You are going to be promoted to the official of the patrol yamen!" "Don't be joking, I am half-life powerful and half-life king, willing to be bullied lightly?" Tie Beggar leaned back on his chair and laughed loudly, "Tiger Minister thought this was a promotion!"

Wei Dongting said: "Your Excellency has moved from the third rank to the third rank, how can you say that it is not a promotion?" "That's right!" Tie Beggar suddenly turned his mouth, "It's not bad to sit in the patrol yamen. Besides, that's because the Holy One loves me, how can I not be flattered!" Tie Beggar pretended to be confused, talking east and west all the time, Wei Dongting had dealt with him for a long time, and this was the most troublesome point.Hearing him say this again now, he thought for a while and smiled: "It's a pity that this is not the emperor's grace. It's a pity that you, a hero of the world, can't see the mystery!" "How?" Tie Beggar leaned forward and asked, the veins on his forehead couldn't help twitching. "No matter, Zhongtang made peace with you and treats you as a national scholar, of course you have to repay him as a national scholar!" Seeing him angry, Wei Dongting restrained his energy a little, and also relaxed on the back of the chair, admiring the Ruby in his hand. Kiln cover bowl. "Hu Chen," Tie Beggar's tone suddenly softened, "You are such a good character. No wonder Mr. Cha praised you. I don't want to go around in circles anymore, 'I'd rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow'. I'll be that kind of bird What is the hall official doing?" Wei Dongting laughed dumbly: "Brother Tie Beggar, if you don't transfer your position, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will be demoted; if you get promoted, it doesn't necessarily mean that you love you. You are smart all your life, so think about it clearly!" "I understand this!" Wu Liuyi waved his hand, "If you want to take it, you must give it first! Let me be my admiral of the Nine Sects!" This is a satisfactory answer.After hearing this, La Aunt Su Ma thought for a while and said: "It's a bit of a problem, but you don't have a lot in your hand, so you can't make an offer. - This is easy to handle. If he can make this contribution, it will be fine if he changes to a first-grade Dingdai." It should be. Later, please ask the emperor to issue a secret edict, and you will send it when the time comes. At this moment, he might as well keep a low profile and delay handing over the seal. Look at this formation, the launch will be fast!"
