Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 405 Disappointment

After talking for a long time, I still got back to Liu Rushi's question just now.Wu Shigong is also a person who can bend and stretch, and today's banquet must not offend Xu Wenjue.Otherwise, the meaning of attending this banquet would be completely gone.

So Wu Shigong was not afraid of losing face, he smiled and bowed to Liu Rushi and said, "I'm really sorry! Please bear with me, Master Liu."

But Liu Rushi still turned his body and ignored Wu Shigong.Seeing this scene, Gu Hengbo smoothed things over, she smiled and said to Wu Shigong: "Sister Liu just asked what poetry works you have!"

What work?Wu Shigong was at a loss, did he want to learn those poems copied by his predecessors?But the possessed Wu Shigong only remembers Tang poems and Song poems!Even Wu Shigong, who is not well-educated, can hear what he has done, so it can be called doggerel at best.

Before time travel, Wu Shigong had read a few time travel historical novels, but he only remembered the harem and glass making, and he didn't remember any of the plagiarized poems.Who would make such preparations?

It can’t be said that I didn’t remember any of them, but Wu Shigong still remembers the phrase “Life is just like the first time I saw you” by Nalan Xingde, who appeared frequently in time-travel novels. .However, Wu Shigong, the author of the original word and the full text of the word, have no memory of it. Why does Wu Shigong remember this sentence in his memory?That's because at that time Wu Shigong had changed this sentence into "Life is mentally handicapped like first love".

But now Wu Shigong recites "Life is mentally handicapped like first love" to Liu Rushi?Then he is really retarded.It's not ashamed to admit defeat, so Wu Shigong said with a smile: "I don't understand poetry, how can I be like Master Liu, who is outwardly intelligent and internally beautiful!"

At this time, Wu Shigong was still praising Liu Rushi, so he thought of solving Liu Rushi's trouble earlier and getting back to today's topic as soon as possible.

Seeing Liu Rushi still drooping his face, the scene was still a bit embarrassing.Gu Hengbo smiled again and said: "Then Mr. Wu is wrong. You have to drink three glasses of wine as a fine! You have to make amends to Sister Liu."

Drink as much as you drink, as long as you solve your troubles.Wu Shigong was also refreshing, drinking three cups in one go.Seeing that he had saved face a little bit, Liu Rushi couldn't put on a show anymore, and turned around to thank Wu Shigong with a half blessing.

The scene was slowed down, but Wu Shigong would not let them continue this art salon.If we continue drinking and talking like this, we won't be able to talk about anything serious today.So Wu Shigong asked while the iron was hot: "What do you think about the younger brother?"

Wu Shigong just wanted Xu Wenjue to make a clear statement.But Wu Shigong's questioning offended Liu Rushi again.

From Liu Rushi's point of view, Mr. Wu who accompanied him today was too irritating.It's fine if you don't hold her in your arms or pay attention to what she says.At least you have to look like a pig brother who just entered the table?Otherwise, how would Liu Rushi's worth be reflected?But he's lucky, ignorance doesn't count, vulgarity doesn't count, but he doesn't talk about elegant art all the time, and talks about that kind of vulgarity endlessly.

So Liu Rushi straightened his face and sat sideways.With a twist of her small mouth, she squeezed out two words with a voice like a silver bell: "Disappointment!" Although Liu Rushi said it lightly.But the room is not that big.Everyone present also heard these two words.

Of course Wu Shigong who was sitting next to Liu Rushi heard it too.However, he turned a deaf ear to it, and was quite resigned.He was afraid that if he offended Xu Wenjue, he would screw up the money loan.

And among the accompanying guests present, some people have long been displeased with Wu Shigong.Among them was Mr. Wei, who was originally ranked second among the "princelings".Logically speaking, Liu Rushi should have been with him today, but Wu Shigong, a bumpkin from the north, took the lead first.So Mr. Wei has long been unhappy.

So Mr. Wei supported Liu Rushi and said: "It's really unreasonable. Today is a beautiful day, and I should ask everyone for advice on poetry, but you do this disappointing thing. Besides, you should ask the imperial court for what you need in the army. How can you ask relatives and friends?" The principle of borrowing each other? I have heard for a long time that Marquis Wu's family is very strict. See you today, hum!"

Wu Shigong still turned a deaf ear to hearing someone's sarcasm again.He smiled and looked at Xu Wenjue firmly, just to ask the prince of Wei Guogong to give a definite answer.

Sensing Wu Shigong's eyes, Xu Wenjue also knew that he couldn't dodge it. He forced a smile and said to Wu Shigong: "Brother Wu Xian, don't be impatient. If you have anything to do, I will leave it to Brother. You have a book, and Brother will pass it to you. How about going to the Yamen of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, so that all the adults can give you an answer as soon as possible?"

Wu Shigong's eyes were suddenly filled with disappointment.The meaning of Xu Wenjue's evasion is too obvious.You know, if Xu Wenjue was willing to help, he should have said, "Wei Guogong said hello to the Yamen of the Ministry of War or the eunuch in charge of Nanjing", but now he just helps pass a booklet, isn't that unnecessary?

But Wu Shigong didn't give up yet, he took a deep breath, and then said with a smile: "The younger brother is not borrowing for nothing, the younger brother has some fertile land in Henan, if he is willing to use these land deeds as mortgage, it will take a year."

Seeing Wu Shigong pestering again and again, Xu Wenjue became a little impatient.He blurted out: "The Shaanxi bandits are by your side, who would want your land in Henan?" Feeling his tone was a bit hard, Xu Wenjue continued to smile and said, "Stop talking about it. Today, I'm a brother to show you a little bit of experience. , I will give you a small profit for my brother tomorrow, and I will spend a few more days in Nanjing City, and then go back to the Henan Army as soon as possible."

Seeing that Wu Shigong wanted to speak, that Young Master Wei said again: "If Brother Wu has something to do at home, of course the prince will not stand idly by. But if there is something to do in the army outside, what do I care about? Don't talk too much!"

These words shocked Wu Shigong on the spot, Wu Shigong repeatedly muttered the phrase "there is something going on in the military outside, so why do I care?", and immediately understood that this banquet was actually a banquet for relatives and friends, and he had no intentions at all. Settle money for yourself.

Wu Shigong felt his blood rushing up all of a sudden, and he couldn't bear it any longer.In order to prevent his uncontrollable temper from venting all of a sudden, Wu Shigong had no choice but to stand up, forced a smile on his face and said to Xu Wenjue, "I'm sorry, go change your clothes!" Then, following the little maid who led the way, hurriedly walked towards the changing place in Meilou go.

Wu Shigong doesn't know at all, no matter how eloquently he speaks today, these dandies here will not give him a result.Although those people said that their family backgrounds were very strong, they could not be the masters of their own families, and they had no ability to decide to borrow such a large sum of money.So today's Wu Shigong is doomed to return without success.
