Leaving just like that? I haven't gotten any benefits yet! Lin Daren felt waves of disappointment. He stood for a while and was about to step forward when he suddenly heard the sound of wheels. A carriage slowly drove over. The driver jumped down and asked, "Laoye, did you call for a carriage?"
Lin Wanrong was overjoyed and hurriedly nodded, "It was me, it was me! Uncle, where is the person that went to call for you? "
"You're talking about that young miss?" The driver took out a silver ingot from his bosom, "She's really a good person. She gave me such a large ingot of silver and told me to come and pick you up. What, aren't you going the same way as her? "
Lin Daren nodded inside. His outburst was effective. Who cared if she was a fairy or a goddess, he definitely couldn't be nice to her. It was said that if he didn't hit for three days, the roof would be broken. Women couldn't be spoiled, they had to be hit, scolded and loved.
"Oh, she's a servant girl in my family. Maybe she's gone to do other things on my wife's orders." Lin Daren giggled and looked around. He didn't see where Ning Yuxi was hiding so he climbed onto the carriage and entered the cabin, "Uncle, you know Cheng Wang Fu, let's go for a walk!"
The driver saw that this young laoye was amiable and became bolder. He gently put down the curtain, replying, "Cheng Wang, I know. He's a famous virtuous king, kind and benevolent. He treats the common people well. Everyone says that if he becomes the Emperor, us common people will have good fortune — —" He hurriedly stopped mid-sentence, clearly realizing that he had committed a taboo. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "This old man is just speaking nonsense, laoye, don't take it seriously."
"What did you say?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously, "My ears were turned away just now and didn't hear anything. Can you say it again?" The driver gave a grateful smile and hurriedly urged the carriage to speed away.
Cheng Wang's fu faced the Imperial Palace from a distance, echoing from the north to the south. It took up an extremely wide area, probably dozens of mu. Looking from afar, the red tiles, the high walls, the pavilions, it was very grand. The residence that the Emperor had bestowed upon Lin Wanrong was already considered large, but compared to this wang fu, it was on a completely different level. The only place that could compare was probably the Imperial Palace.
Two giant lanterns hung in front of Cheng Wang's door. A pair of purple and gold rings were fastened to the tall red lacquer door, and on it was a golden plaque — — Cheng Wang Fu!
When Lin Wanrong got off the car. Cheng Wang was already waiting at the door. Looking at him, he raised his hands and smiled as he said: "Official Lin has come to our fu, ben wang has not gone out to welcome you. My apologies! "
"Aiya, Your Highness, what are you talking about!" Lin Wanrong chuckled, "I took the liberty to disturb your residence, so I should be the one apologizing. Oh, Little Prince, you're here too. Long time no see. You've grown even more handsome and elegant. You're almost as handsome as me. "
Zhao Kangning's handsome face twitched. He forced a smile as he said: "Official Lin is an honored guest of my fu. Even fuwang has to personally come out to welcome you. Kangning should be waiting here."
Lin Wanrong walked next to him and giggled as he patted his shoulder: "Little Prince is too courteous. We've known each other since Jin Ling and can be counted as old acquaintances. There's no need to be so formal. Old Wang Ye, Little Prince Ye, please — — "He turned from guest to host and modestly invited Cheng Wang and his son to go first. The three of them entered the residence.
Cheng Wang was the only brother of the present Emperor. His status could be imagined. The corridors were brightly lit, decorated with lanterns and banners. There was a golden lantern every three steps, a glazed lantern every five steps. Flowers bloomed everywhere, servants gathered, it was very busy!
Seeing Lin Wanrong look around as he walked, as though he had never seen the world before, Zhao Kangning smiled disdainfully. Cheng Wang also swept a glance at him but didn't speak.
"Hm, Old Wang Ye, what is that?" Lin Wanrong pointed at a strange sight in the distance and asked curiously.
Cheng Wang and his son raised their eyes to look and saw that there was an enormous pond not far from the garden. An enormous wooden windmill was slowly turning, drawing out the water from the pond, tossing it high into the air before falling back into the pond, creating beautiful splashes. The windmill was driven by human power. Three strong men continuously pushed the stirrer, sweeping the water into the sky.
"Oh, this is a kind of waterwheel that ben wang had seen when he was guarding the borders of Yunnan. At the time, ben wang liked it very much. After I returned to Jing, I asked some craftsmen to make one. This waterwheel would slowly turn when there was wind, throwing out the water from the pond. It was abnormally beautiful. Ben wang gave it a name, it's called Rising Wind and Water, "Cheng Wang said with a slight smile.
"Rising Wind and Water?" Lin Wanrong nodded and gave a thumbs up: "Old Wang Ye is really knowledgeable, much better than me. If you want me to give it a name, it would be 'Old Cow Sucking Water'. "
Zhao Kangning smiled coldly. What kind of trash are you, just a little house servant, a servant of servants. In the past, you wouldn't even be fit to carry my shoes, how could you compare to my fuwang?
"Hm, Old Wang Ye, what is this? Such a big snake! "Lin Wanrong pointed at a nearby landscape and exclaimed. It was a snake-shaped animal carved from a tree trunk. It was coiled above a small stream. Its limbs were thick and long, and it had a long horn on its head. There were many whiskers at the side of its mouth, and its eyes were fierce. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws. His body was even covered with dazzling gold, inlaid with golden scales, making him look very majestic.
"This is a little golden dragon that ben wang asked the craftsmen to carve for decoration." A light flashed through Cheng Wang's eyes as he spoke with a smile.
"Oh," Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "So it was to carve a little golden dragon for fun. Old Wang Ye, the name that Feng Sheng Shui came up with was very good. Have you given this little golden dragon a name? "
"This, temporarily not." Cheng Wang said with a smile: "Since Lin daren is so interested, why don't you give it a name?"
Lin daren smiled bashfully: "This, it's not very good. My knowledge is low and my experience is shallow. If I give it a name, I'm afraid it will scare everyone — — this little stream has water, fish, and a golden dragon. Why don't we call it 'Mixed Fish and Dragons', it's very appropriate, hee hee!"
Zhao Kangning couldn't resist anymore and snorted: "What 'Mixed Fish and Dragons', this is called 'Dragon Trapped in Shallow Water'. Fuwang has already given it a name."
"Oh — —" Lin daren's eyes widened and he dragged out his voice with a shocked expression: "So it's called 'Dragon Trapped in Shallow Water', it really is learned! 'Feng Sheng Shui Rises', 'Dragon Trapped in Shallow Water', tsk tsk, what do these two mean? Ai, I've read too much recently. My brain is broken, I can't remember right now. "
Zhao Kangning impulsively opened his mouth and knew it was bad. Cheng Wang glared at him sternly and the little wang ye didn't dare to open his mouth again. At this time, he was standing next to Lin Wanrong. A faint smell of tobacco wafted over. Lin Wanrong's heart shook and he looked deeply at Zhao Kangning. No wonder those Tu Jue bastards were so relaxed, they had hidden cards! Laozi gave them a Fark cannon, it really wasn't wrong for them.
Lin daren thought for a long time and sighed: "Ai, speaking of which, a few days ago, the Emperor invited me to the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace to play. But compared to wang ye, that scene, that atmosphere, tsk tsk — — "
"How was it?" Cheng Wang's eyes flashed as he asked softly.
"Other than some places in the Imperial Palace that are a few inches bigger than here, everything else is lacking. There are no golden lanterns, no glazed lamps, no wind and water rising, and there's no such lively little golden dragon. "Lin Wanrong shook his head and sighed:" 'Dragon Trapped in Shallow Water', 'Feng Sheng Shui Rises'! Lao wang ye, it seems that the Emperor's days are very tense! "
"Really?" Cheng Wang laughed: "Lin daren, let's not tarry here. Let's quickly go to the inner room, the daren are still waiting for us."
The three of them went straight to the hall. There were sandalwood tables and chairs in the hall, a large red carpet. The jade railings were richly decorated. The hall was already filled with good wine and delicacies. Dozens of beautiful maids served at the side, charming and special.
There were already many people sitting in the guest seats. Lin daren looked at them one by one. There were many unfamiliar faces and few familiar faces. In reality, even though he had become the vice assistant minister of the Ministry of Appointments, it was an empty position. Other than Xu Wei and Li Tai, he didn't know any of the other officials of the court.
"Hm, Brother Su Zhuangyuan, you're also here?" Lin Wanrong finally saw an acquaintance sitting near the top of the table. A sincere and cordial smile immediately appeared on her face as she warmly greeted him.
Su Mubai nodded slightly at him in return. Cheng Wang smiled slightly and said: "Lin daren, the people ben wang has invited today are all colleagues of the court, there is no need to be reserved. Come, come, come, you can sit here! "
As soon as he finished speaking, he personally pulled Lin Wanrong to the seat of honor at the head of the table. Lin daren was shocked. Aiya, the old guy was playing tricks. Of the ministers, prime ministers, and scholars in this hall, which one wasn't a first-grade official? He just had to pull me, a vice department official, to sit at the very front, wasn't he purposefully making me look bad? Lin daren laughed and said: "Wang ye, the best seats should naturally be left for the most honored guests. I shouldn't sit, my butt will get sores!"
Cheng Wang said with a bright smile: "Lin daren is too polite, you are ben wang's most honored guest. At a young age, you received the favor of the Emperor and became the vice assistant minister of the Ministry of Appointments. You were also personally given the title of 'Number One Servant in the World' by the Emperor. No one can compare to you in the Emperor's favor. In the future, Lin daren will be bestowed the title of general or minister. It wouldn't be strange if you were bestowed the title of a wang ye. Tell everyone, if you don't sit at the front, who else will sit? "
"Yes, yes, Lin daren should sit at the front." The officials in the hall began to clamor, but their eyes were all different. There was mockery, disdain, envy, jealousy, and so on. Cheng Wang swept a glance at Su Mubai. He saw that the other's eyes did not shift as he raised the pot to fill the wine cup and poured it down his neck.
"Ai, what I'm best at in my life is making love. Something like sitting at the front really isn't my specialty. However, since everyone here thinks highly of me, then I'll reluctantly sit. In the future, if the Emperor blames me for not distinguishing between superiors and subordinates, for not having complete etiquette, everyone has to be my witness. " Lin Wanrong said with a difficult expression. Everyone loudly agreed and urged the humble Lin daren to sit at the front of the table.
Seeing Lin Wanrong sit, Cheng Wang and his son also sat at the main seats. Fine wine and delicacies were brought out and the atmosphere instantly became lively.
After three rounds of wine and five different dishes, Cheng Wang's tiger eyes swept across the room and he said with a loud laugh: "This is the first time ben wang has invited my colleagues since the beginning of spring. Everyone, please relax and enjoy yourselves. Come — — "
He clapped his hands and a dozen or so beautiful women gracefully walked in from outside the door. They smiled as they walked in front of the table and bowed. There were others who held pipa and string instruments and played leisurely. Under the influence of the music, the daren gradually relaxed and started to tease the beautiful women next to them. For a time, laughter rang out and the atmosphere was very lively. But that new zhuangyuan Su Mubai daren did not smile at the beautiful women next to him. He was drinking by himself and did not seem to be in tune.
Cheng Wang looked at Su Mubai and then swept a glance at Lin San. A cold smile floated at the corner of his mouth.
Lin daren had eaten game at the Hu people's place this afternoon. Sitting at the front and being the focus of everyone's gazes, he felt very uncomfortable. Even though the woman accompanying him to drink had a pink face and rosy cheeks, he lost some of his interest. But seeing everyone having fun, he also touched the little girl's face and said frivolously: "Little sister, how old are you this year?"
"This one is sixteen." The little sister lowered her head and said shyly.
"Sixteen? I don't think that's it! "Lin daren stared at her breasts and swallowed:" Sixteen and already so big? I think other people wouldn't be as big as you even if they were twenty-six. "
"Daren, you're so bad." The little sister lightly squirmed a few times and threw herself into his arms to act spoiled.
Motherf * * * er, a twenty-six jiejie dares to act young with me, do you think laozi doesn't know what's good for you? Cheng Wang, that old guy's conscience has been eaten by dogs. He invited me to sit at the top but dares to pass me off as good. Acting young with age, does laozi think that laozi is a virgin?
Lin daren snickered. Drinking the wine in his cup in one gulp, he allowed the "little sister" to rub and twist on his body. He was majestic and did not move.
Cheng Wang's eyes and ears were on all sides. He saw that Lin daren was talking and laughing with the woman beside him but didn't have any intentions of fighting. He smiled and said: "What, Lin daren, is this girl not to your taste?"
"My taste is unique, normal people can't serve me." Lin Wanrong giggled as he raised his cup: "Lao wang ye, let me toast you. Your 'Dragon Trapped in Shallow Water' and 'Wind Makes Water Rise' have broadened this little brother's knowledge."
Cheng Wang smiled as he drained the cup and said: "Lin daren, don't panic, there will be more exciting things later." His palms lightly tapped. The music in the field instantly stopped. Even the women that had been teasing the crowd quieted. The field instantly became silent.
"Dong —" The sound of the zither lightly sounded, like a little hammer striking at everyone's hearts. The sound of the zither gradually grew louder, like jade beads falling on a plate, crisp and clear.
A woman's voice serenely sang:
"The sea of humanity is deep, but it cannot compare to yearning.
The sea has a boundary, but yearning is boundless.
Holding the zither to a tall building, the moonlight fills the void.
Playing the song of yearning, the strings break for a moment. "
At some unknown time, a pure white screen had appeared in the field. A curvaceous and alluring figure passed through the screen and landed in everyone's eyes, adding a mysterious hue. The voice of the woman behind the screen was clear and clear, as though it could pass through jade, drums, and bells. Accompanied by the continuous sound of the zither, it made the yearning sentimental and unusually moving.
Everyone present was a learned person. Hearing this song, they knew that this woman wasn't a normal person. Looking at the woman's graceful figure and moving curves, they instantly started to whisper.
Cheng Wang smiled mysteriously and said: "Everyone, there's no need to guess. This isn't a popular person from the Eight Great Alleys. The common rouge of the Eight Great Alleys, how can they compare to this beauty. "
He waved his hand and the screen automatically retracted. A charming and moving figure appeared in front of everyone. The woman was dressed in a light purple gown, and her face was covered by a thin silk scarf. Her figure was like a weak willow in the wind, gently swaying. A thin waist, full breasts, and perky buttocks, drawing out an infinitely beautiful curve. Just looking at this figure, it was possible to know that this woman was a peerless beauty.
That woman's figure was calm as she stood freely. In her elegance, her breasts and perky buttocks were unspeakably seductive, unspeakably enchanting.
Cheng Wang himself was stunned for a beat. A hint of infatuation flashed through his eyes and then a thread of determination. He said with a smile: "Today is the day of spring and the flowers are blooming. It is a good day to enter the palace. Taking advantage of this beautiful night, ben wang will give everyone a great gift. This miss is a beautiful woman like an immortal. She is skilled in the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Normal people are not a match for her. Today, everyone here will have to rely on their own abilities. Whoever can win a smile from this beauty can become a guest of this beauty! "
Guest of a beauty? The hundreds of officials in the court were usually full of people, but after the court was over, they were all distinguished and elegant, and thought of themselves as extraordinary. Seeing the fairy-like woman in front of them, if they could have a night with her, they would be happier than immortals.
"Wang Ye, how can we win a smile from a beauty?!" A pot-bellied old man asked.
Cheng Wang gave a laugh and said: "This, it will depend on everyone's abilities. Tell jokes, dance, sing, all kinds of martial arts can be used. How to make her smile, you can do it. This miss said, a good night is short, a thousand pieces of gold cannot buy a smile. Whoever can make her smile from the bottom of her heart, that person will be her guest of a beauty. "
Everyone instantly discussed. Making a beauty smile, it wasn't hard for an acquaintance to do it. But this woman who had suddenly appeared, her background was unknown, and her personality was unknown. To make her smile, it probably wasn't so simple.
Damn, it worked like this? Lin daren stared at him with wide eyes. Cheng Wang looked at him and gave a mysterious smile. He said in a light voice: "Lin daren, don't you have unique tastes? How about it, does this miss fit your taste? "
"Ai!" Lin Wanrong sighed slightly: "Your Highness, I am really a very serious person. I have never been a womanizer. Oh, that's right, I made this lady smile. Can I really be her guest in the bedroom? Wang Ye, you aren't blackmailing people, are you? "
"Ben wang's words carry weight." Cheng Wang's eyes flashed, his face as dark as water: "If you make her smile, she is yours!"
