Chapter 136 3
Wu Youwei remained silent because he had no money.
Wu Jun had a headache. In the evening, the Wu family ate a simple meal with frowning faces and no appetite. All the servants in the family held their breaths and were careful, for fear of offending the master.
The meals I eat are all things that can clear away the heat, such as scrambled eggs with bitter gourd, stir-fried lettuce, cold endive, white sliced meat dipped in garlic, and this is the only meat dish.
Even the soup is melon and vegetable soup.
The clear soup I ate was too watery, and I couldn't eat it.
Wu Youwei didn't eat much. To be honest, he ate too much of Chef Fang's cooking skills. The cooking skills of the chefs in the Wu residence were really not as good as those of his Mo Ling Villa.
After dinner, Wu Youwei was about to leave.
"Why are you going? There are many yards at home now, and there is a place for you to live in." Wu Jun didn't want him to go.
Wu Youwei said, "I've already made an appointment with someone, so I won't be staying at home."
He was afraid that something might happen, so he couldn't stay in Wu's house overnight.
"Who are you dating?" Wu Jun asked.
"About Zhang Sheng." Wu Youwei said: "We are studying together."
As soon as he talked about studying, Wu Jun regretted a little: "If Qingyu can...
"He can't go." Wu Youwei shook his head: "Yang Yiqing was also there that night, and there were many others. With his reputation... Zhang Sheng is a clean-spirited man. He has been in Beijing for three years. There are no maids in the house, and he doesn’t know where the door of the Qinglou Chuguan opens, and the Qingyu matter is full of troubles in the city, he must know.”
Got it, can I still see Wu Ying?
It's just looking at his face not to scold people out.
Wu Jun panicked: "That unfilial son!"
Wu Youwei patted his butt and said goodbye, and went to Zhang Sheng's place.
Zhang Sheng smiled when he saw him: "Your eldest nephew is really good, sleeping with four flower girls by himself, his glory is so strong!"
Almost everyone in the capital city knows about this, hehehe!
"Pull it down, he fell asleep and no one gave him any money!" Wu Youwei finally couldn't help but curl up his mouth, showing that he was in a super good mood: "I owe someone 3 taels of silver, and the family is going to sell everything, okay?
"Really owe so much?" Zhang Sheng couldn't laugh immediately.
Poor Zhang Sheng, who has never been to the Qinglou Chuguan, has no idea how high the prices are there.
"He slept with two big yellow girls, but they were girls from Qunfang Pavilion, which was not listed. He also slept with a dancer, that is an expensive woman." Wu Youwei curled his lips: "Then he lost to me, no Give people money, add it up, well, 3 taels are all for the sake of him being the queen's brother.
Otherwise, 5 taels will be exported.
It's no wonder that Wu Jun beat Wu Ying and wanted to renege on his debt.
"Then what did the Wu family say?" What Zhang Sheng wanted to know was the reaction of the Wu family.
Wu Youwei told him everything, and Zhang Sheng was so angry that he scolded: "It's an insult to the gentleman! It's really an insult to the gentleman!"
"Anyway, that's what happened." Wu Youwei spread his hands, "I don't have money, and I don't have relationships.
So, he just came back.
As a result, the next day, Yang Yiqing came and brought the latest news: "The matter of the Wu Mansion has broken out, the Qunfang Pavilion has a three-day deadline, and the Wu Mansion is required to take the money, otherwise, the Wu Mansion is required to look good.
"So the Wu Mansion really gave the money?" Zhang Sheng asked.
"Where is that, your direct brother is dealing with people from Qunfang Pavilion... Yepi." The corners of Yang Yiqing's mouth twitched: "If you want to give 1 taels, Qunfang Pavilion won't do it.
Wu Youwei was the first and the second elder: "He didn't want to think about it, what did people say about Wu Ying?"
"Maybe... really have no money?" Zhang Sheng guessed.
In fact?
The Wu family has money, but it happens to only be 5000 taels.
Mrs. Wu Sun was crying about the pity of her son, but Mrs. Wu was silent. Wu Jun sat there, remembering what his concubine Qianqian said: "You can bargain for everything, let alone things like that kind of place. He is all over the sky. Asking price, we can sit back and pay back the money! 1 taels is already giving them face.
He thinks what the concubine said is right....
It's just that after today's nonsense, Qunfang Pavilion's attitude is very ambiguous, neither agreeing nor objecting, what does it mean?
Now he knows, because the person who came to the palace just now was not sent by the emperor, but was sent by the Empress Dowager Qian. He changed his appearance and came quietly. If he hadn't seen the person who came, it was when the marriage was granted. He would not easily believe the eunuch who came to proclaim the decree.
Because the people who came told them to calm down the matter, and if there are more rumors, they don't know whether the empress will be able to sit firmly in the back seat.
It was as if the Wu family had been struck by lightning!
After the person left, Wu Jun just sat there, Wu Sunshi was still chattering beside her, and she didn't know that there was someone coming from the palace.
"Okay!" Wu Jun stood up, and cast a sinister look at Wu Sun: "If you do this again, I will divorce my wife!"
Wu Sun choked, and then said angrily: "You divorced your wife? Why? My daughter is the queen!"
"So what?" Wu Jun raised his hand and slapped her: "If you weren't used to Qingyu, would he be like this now?"
After becoming the head of the state, even without a title, Wu Jun is no longer what it used to be. He only needs to call for family affairs, and he can know everything.
Wu Ying's health is good, not as weak as imagined.
Being able to play with four women in one night is much better than a father like him.
Wu Jun transferred the money from the Wu Mansion, and finally sent someone to send it to Qunfang Pavilion. The four women were also transferred to Wu Ying's name at the same time.
Now that Wu Ying is injured, she can't even get out of bed, so how can she go to the brothel Chu Guan?
But people must be in his name
Wu Jun's face turned blue after the visitor came back.
Wu Youwei and the others also received the news that Wu Jun actually sent someone to Qunfang Pavilion, and he relented and gave real money, 3 taels of silver.
The next day, Zhang Sheng took Wu Youwei to a literary meeting, including Wu Jun's cousin. Everyone in the literary meeting heard about Wu Youwei's behavior that day and praised him greatly.
It can be said that in the circle of literati, Wu Youwei once again gained the limelight.
Of course, with his limelight, there is another thing, that is, Wu Ying's romantic affair with the fourth daughter of the imperial court that night was also talked about.
After the cousin went back, he told his mother that when Wu Sun returned to her mother's house, she was informed of the situation outside by her sister-in-law, and there was a lot of excitement after returning.
I thought that with the passage of time, this incident would gradually fade away, but who knew that the Qunfang Pavilion became lively because of this incident.
That day, Wu Youwei's five songs were already very popular. Huang Ying and other singers from Qunfang Pavilion charged 200 taels of silver for singing five songs in a row.
Someone wanted to copy the lyrics, but because the five songs have the same key, it is easy to copy and usurp.
It is said that there are still the poems and riddles of that day
While the popularity skyrocketed, Wu Ying's story spread more and more widely. Some people even wanted to see if the four women who slept with Wu Ying were really that good. What do you want to talk to?This story is always spread everywhere, "Uncles and nephews met in the brothel Chuguan", is it for rivalry or jealousy?The nephew made a big fuss at his uncle's friend's party, but he even took care of the fourth daughter... Various conjectures emerged endlessly.
In Wu's mansion, Wu Jun couldn't sit still, he was afraid of hurting his daughter!
"What should we do about this matter?" He also had several cleanups of his own.
Those who did not go well in the imperial examinations in the Qing Dynasty and their official careers were waiting for the imperial examinations. Some of them worked as patrons in wealthy families.
Qingke sounds very elegant, but in fact it is a life of living under the fence. To put it harshly, it is begging for food in a wealthy family.
Similar to counselors and staff.
One of the Qing customers boldly speculated about Wu Jun's thoughts, adding to the rumors he heard outside, he said: "It's mostly when the master of Mo Ling Villa is mentioned outside that he thinks that if the young master If there is no relationship between them, there is no such thing as being talked about together."
"You're right." Wu Jun has encountered that kind of scene more than once. Whenever Wu Youwei is mentioned, he always says that he is a young talent with "one obsession and two bottoms" and "one song and five songs".
But by the way, I can mention the eldest nephew of this "young talent", that is, the macho Wu Ying who was recently rumored in Beijing to marry four women overnight!
Then there were bursts of laughter, or obscene hisses, and all kinds of ambiguous smiles that only men understand.
Besides, Wu Ying also said that he just wanted to teach that useless person a lesson, how could he think that he was tricked?
He hasn't figured it out yet, how long has it been?
Not to mention confronting the people in Qunfang Pavilion.
It is impossible and impossible for the people in Qunfang Pavilion to admit it. This matter was originally done in secret, and only those who are stupid will admit it!
If Qunfang Pavilion really recognized it, no one would dare to come to Qunfang Pavilion to play in the future.
If the two of them are okay.....
Before Wu Youwei returned to Mo Ling Villa, Wu Jun sent someone to look for him.
At the gate of the Wu Mansion, as soon as Wu Youwei entered, he saw Wu Ying who was just able to get out of bed and take two steps.
When Wu Ying saw Wu Youwei, his eyes also burned. If it wasn't for him, would he be in the mess he is now?
Wu Youwei said hello cheerfully, Wu Ying turned around and walked away slowly without saying a word.
Wu Youwei, whom Wu Jun met in the study, immediately asked Wu Youwei directly, "Is it because you let someone spread the news?"
"What's wrong with me?" Wu Youwei pointed to himself in surprise.
"You know, what do those literati say about Qingyu?" Wu Jun preemptively said, "If it weren't for those classmates and friends of yours, the teacher and others, who added fuel and jealousy, would Qingyu be like this now?"
Wu Youwei's eyes widened. What do you mean?
This has to talk about the relationship network of these people.
In ancient times, the teacher-student relationship can be described as the closest connection, the heaven and the earth, the relatives and teachers, apart from the emperor, the blood relatives are the teachers.
Official practice, you can impeach the same year, classmate or even the same clan, but there is a name for killing relatives righteously, at most it can make people blood cold, think that this person is "not worth working with" and don't want to associate with him But if you impeach your teacher, No matter if you are a house teacher or a seat teacher, this behavior is tantamount to infidelity, and the local officials will cast aside you.
Therefore, unless there is some disaster that affects the whole family, the teacher-student relationship, like the same-year relationship, is the natural relationship of officials in the officialdom, but it is closer than the latter relationship.
Therefore, in ancient times, many powerful officials often used the method of serving as the chief examiner of the imperial examination to win over a large group of i disciples and old officials. Coupled with their own old relatives, they often formed a huge network of relationships, and sometimes even threatened the imperial power. Some emperors with brains will attach great importance to the choice of scientific examiners, and always choose their own confidantes and cronies to serve.
Once this relationship network is established, it can no longer be changed.
This is also the reason why the Wu family dare not touch Wu Youwei.
He has passed the provincial examination, and he took the examination in Shuntian Prefecture. The two teachers are quite legendary figures, and the top-notch ones in the same year are all extraordinary. Although his own ranking is not very high, but his age There, at the beginning, his two masters personally said "he is your junior brother, please take care of him a little bit more".
Whether these candidates are going to be officials or continue the imperial examinations, as long as Wu Youwei has something to do, they will definitely help.
Mrs. Wu also pressured Wu Youwei out of righteousness, and she really didn't dare to say what she wanted to do.
Wu Jun didn't dare either. Nowadays, the pens in the hands of literati are like sharp knives and sharp blades. If one is not good, he will have to scrape off a layer of his skin.
Now he has discovered that having a queen's daughter is useless, as she will be restrained everywhere, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!
Now he strikes first and suffers later, so he wants to force Wu Youwei to go out for himself!
