Chapter one hundred and forty fourth wife
Wei Mansion.
"Young master, there is a young man outside asking to see the master. The young men are not aware of which family they are. This is a post."
The man frowned and said, "When is it now? Whose visitor will pick this and see where our home is to be used as a place when he wants to have supper?"
The servant said, "Young Master, the young man said so at that time. He just saw that the man said that as long as the master reads the post, he will definitely meet him even if he falls asleep. In addition, although the young man looked at the face, he was very proud. Isn't this afraid of delaying the matter? Let the young master come and take a look first. If you don't know him, then send him away."
When he opened the post, the man laughed and said, "Why is he here? There was no sound of the wind in advance. I'm just stepping on some food."
Seeing this, the servant asked, "Then, please invite him in?"
"Please come in. This is our own family, but don't tell your father first. Always hear him tell him how great he is. Take him first, I will meet him, and call my mother."
"yes"
At the gate of Wei Mansion.
Qin Hao couldn't help but make a fuss for Wei Zheng when he saw the low wall. He knew Wei Zheng's reputation, but he never expected that the Wei family's house was so broken. After all, he was one of the prime ministers of the court. Li Shimin's right-hand man, the Tang Dynasty was not like the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Even if he was not corrupt, his annual salary and official land income would not be so low. If there was a strong man, he could jump over the wall with just two steps.
"Brother, this is Wei Xiang's home. Why do you feel that Li Xiaoci's living style is not as good as that boy? I'm afraid even compared to ordinary wealthy families, it's much worse than that."
"Although my master is not a poor family, he is not very wealthy. He has no talent at home. He all depends on his salary. There are many of these aunts and aunts. Who can't help? How can he compare with the dignified Huai'an Prince's Mansion? The house is small. This shows that my master is honest and has a solid character."
"Yes, yes, you're right, so let's move in as well? Will you squeeze in?"
"Hey, you guy just lived a good life for a few days. You have forgotten your roots so quickly. You used to be so pretentious that you didn't see you when you slept with two feet of straw. Why do you think your family is too small now?"
"How can you do it? Brother, aren't you scolding me? I'm afraid that the four of us will squeeze in and live in Wei Xiang and the others. I guess there are no four guest rooms in this house."
Qin Hao thought about it and said, "That's right, let's talk about it. Besides, we must have our own place in Chang'an. You will become familiar with the situation in Chang'an in the past two days and buy our own house as soon as possible."
"yes."
After a while, the servants came to invite someone. Qin Hao didn't think much about it, so he took Sun Er and the others into the yard. As soon as he entered, he saw a rockery standing in the middle, with spring water flowing past, blocking the way. The man led the man through the small corridor on the right, and then he led to a room.
Qin Hao thought to himself that this was the method of gardening in the south of the Yangtze River during the Ming and Qing dynasties. People all said that Suzhou gardens are the best in the world, but they didn't think about why the political center of China was always in the north and the best courtyard was in the south. The reason was nothing more than small. Because it was small, I had to make a few more corridors, and I had to make a lot of twists and turns two or three steps away just to appear a little bigger.
Qin Hao couldn't help but ask: "As the prime minister of the dynasty, he lives in this place. He feels wronged and wants to be honest. Is it a bit...?"
The servant smiled and said, "Young Master, do you think it's a bit past?"
Qin Hao smiled and said nothing.
If the son does not mention his father's fault, it is natural that this disciple cannot say that his master is not, but everyone still knows what he is doing.
Even if all the savings of Wei Zheng before joining Tang were blown away with the wind, he had been the prince of Li Jiancheng for so many years. Could it be that Li Jiancheng would not have paid a salary? And if Li Shimin had not had a reward for Xuanwu Gate, he would have always received rewards on weekdays, let alone their family also has a wine shop. Is this honest, and it's worth it. Isn't it artificial to make it so easy to be so pretentious?
The servant turned around and said secretly: "Young Master is Qin Hao, the master's newly accepted disciple?"
Qin Hao was not surprised. If the servant of the Wei Mansion had no vision, he would be useless. He simply nodded and recognized him.
"Since you are my own, it's okay to tell the young master. In fact, this matter is not a secret. You can know as long as you inquire about it."
Qin Hao said: "Please help me solve my doubts."
"Oh! What else can I do? My mistress, my mistress is not an ordinary family. She is also a famous family. She is from the Pei family in Hedong. She is a generalist. She responded to the call of the Empress before the New Year, and she kept mowing silk and spinning with a few mothers. As a result, the Holy Empress stopped her but she didn't stop. The saint heard that our family was small and narrow, and wanted to change to a big house. As a result, the mistress insisted that the master was used to living in an old house and was not used to living in a new house. So, now she just wants to move, but she can't move away."
Qin Hao felt a toothache when he heard this. Even if their servants said this word, it was full of pleasure, let alone others.
To put it bluntly, this woman is just a show that is too big and she has little vision. You refuse to say anything to Li Er personally. Now, you will never want to change to a big house in this life. After getting on the pole, you can't get off. Li Er is also hurt. Isn't this intentional choking that makes people feel uncomfortable? If they don't want it, you won't force it to others?
From this small matter, we can see that the relationship between Li Er and Wei Zheng is still not good. Look at Fang Xuanling, there is no need to rehearse the double act with Li Er, so when will such a big mistake be made?
Nicely, Qin Hao remembered a joke from his previous life.
It is said that when Wei Zheng was about to die, Li Shimin sent an imperial physician to visit him. The imperial physician found that Wei Zheng's house was leaking everywhere, so Li Shimin actually sent someone to send two silk quilts.
What's weird, one emperor and the other prime minister gave two quilts, but the more weird thing was that Wei Zheng's wife actually refused, refused, and it was gone...
When I was a child, I thought Wei Zheng was so honest. Later, I became older and realized that this was completely nonsense! It was Wei Zheng, not Hai Rui!! If you were not corrupt in the Tang Dynasty, you could live a good life. Besides, Wei Zheng was still a first-class Duke.
But now I heard from the servant that if this teacher's wife was really like this... Damn, it might not be impossible! In the future, Wei Zheng would have been cheated in this small dilapidated house for the rest of his life, and he wouldn't even be able to make a silk bedding. This woman doesn't have to be so cruel to cheat her husband!
As it turns out, he was right.
The servant did not lead him to Wei Zheng first, but to his master's wife first. The woman was dignified, but wearing a coarse cloth dress, with sleeves on her hands, and was meticulously weaving cloth. A little brother who looked about the same age as her was next to her. Seeing Qin Hao being led in, she showed a very happy smile and said, "It's Boy Qin, I'm here. I always hear the master praise you. Now I've finally seen you. Come and come over and do it."
Qin Hao couldn't help but feel a pain in the egg. Damn, Empress Changsun led everyone to weave cloth to show everyone in the world. What are you trying to do? Besides, now that people have stopped, you are still not stopping. What does this mean? Are you more virtuous than Empress Changsun?
But no matter what, do you still have to be treated as a gift? "I have met my master's wife, this one should be my senior brother. I came from Luoyang and brought some polite gifts to respect my master's wife."
