Wang Dan, who had regained his status as "elder brother", returned to Dr. Watson's house again and asked him to resign, saying that his brother was in good health and ready to come back, and asked him to resume his brother's original position.
However, how could Watson let go of such a talented person! What's more, he has held a feast for him. At this time, "brother" is no longer just a government official, but has become the "image spokesperson" of Watson to attract talents.
"You can't leave! When my brother comes back, he will naturally still have his position, but you must still be my trusted guard. Or, I can open a separate hospital for you and grant you rights. You can recruit suitable candidates on your own and work with you. How about your two brothers, one on the left and one on the right, guarding my team?"
The terms offered by Hua Chen were good and suited Wang Dan's wishes, but he still pretended to refuse the offer several times before finally accepting it with reluctance.
If you work alone, you have special funds and dedicated personnel, and no one else has such benefits.
At this time, Wang Dan also successfully introduced the guard into the Huachen Mansion as agreed and became one of his minor officials.
The first task this minister received was to get close to Hua Gaobi and gain his trust.
Although the guardian felt that it was quite difficult for him to approach Hua Gaobi, after all, he could hide it for a while, but he could not pretend for a lifetime. With the "Hua Clan Ancestral Hall" being lost and even the "Hua Clan Genealogy" being stolen, it was difficult for him to "renovate" himself.
Fortunately, as a guard for many years, he still has some loyal confidants. As for the internal situation of the Hua family, he also has a relatively comprehensive understanding.
As far as he knows: Hua Gaobi is a responsible and reliable person, but his health has never been very good; but his younger brother Hua Gaobi is different, smart and strong, and in all aspects, his qualifications are far better than his brother, and , he was not willing to accept his fate of "being the second eldest son" and not being able to inherit the official position of his father Zuo Shi. He had always had something in mind.
After understanding this, the minister knew how to start stirring up some waves in the Huagaobi family pool.
Hua Yue and Hua Wu's masters and servants died successively. Although Hua Gaobi took over the official position of Zuo Shi because he was the "eldest son", and the family treatment was the same as before, he should not have any deep resentment.
However, that day, when he saw the tragic death of Hua Wu and the fighting between the crows and magpies, the chill he felt came not only from the "jays"; but also from the "blues" Magpie".
And when he held the blue magpie tail feather, he seemed to see himself, the long-tailed blue magpie that was the first to eat the "grasshopper".
Hua Gaobi, who was worried for a while, frightened for a while, kept thinking and thinking, and was seriously mentally exhausted, finally fell ill.
After hearing the news, the minister immediately provided this "window of opportunity" to Wang Dan and asked if he should take advantage of this opportunity to kill another one?
Wang Dan thought for a while and said: "Since he is too weak to be used by others, he should help heal him first! Or maybe someone wants to have a discussion between the two brothers first?"
Yes, if you want to weaken the Hua clan, it will not only involve fighting between clan members; if there is also discord within the clan, the opportunities for attack will definitely increase greatly.
"I have an old friend who is an outstanding doctor. Please come and have a look."
What Wang Dan was referring to was none other than his childhood friend in Weiguo—Pei Li, the master of Jishi Pavilion.
Speaking of which, the political outlook of Weiguo has been revitalized since he found a national advisor for Weiguo; and he reopened his Jishi Pavilion. The difference is that the scale is larger than before. , and if you want to invite Piaoliong, it is not something that ordinary people can do.
But who is Wang Dan? For Cai Liong, everyone can be said to be an "ordinary person"; but only he, Wang Dan, and Hun Xi, the three brothers made the Niba Wan together, and now Wang Dan has sent a letter to him over the years. The rule of "never visiting the Song Dynasty" is about to be broken.
When Nan'er heard that her brother was going to see Wang Dan, the emotions she had suppressed for many years were stirred up again. So, before her brother left, she specially prepared a mahogany mold for pastries with "Luan and Zhai" patterns carved by her own hands. Let it be brought to him. She said that she wanted to try the pastries made by Wang Dan herself, and that she could use the model that she had specially carved out.
He carefully put the paper away and promised Nan'er again and again: When he comes back from Song Dynasty, it will be as she wishes!
Hunxi also received a letter inviting him to come to Song Dynasty at the same time. He said that the three brothers had not been together for many years and they made an appointment to come to Song Dynasty to reminisce about the past.
"One hero and three gangs."
Wang Dan believes that although this minister can be used, to be trustworthy, he has to call on a few of his subordinates to be truly reliable.
For this reunion of the three brothers, a banquet is arranged first, this is a must!
As the "host", Wang Dan solemnly arranged a "nostalgic banquet" in his courtyard for two good brothers who came from afar to attend the appointment: Although it was in the Song Dynasty, everything on the table was The food and dishes listed are all in the Weiguo style, including his specialty Weiguo pastries.
When Hun Xi saw the familiar "Liuxia Palace Pastry" reappearing on the table, she couldn't help but slap the table and laugh, saying:
"How about that? Do you want me to bring back this 'Liuxia Palace Pastry' from the Song Dynasty? Do you think you are missing an old friend? Hahahaha..."
Thinking back to the "Liu Xia Palace Pastry Shop" that started and stopped, and finally had to close down completely, it has long become a past in Wang Dan and Hun Xi's memory.
Many years have passed, and today, all of us have grandchildren. We can all get together again and eat the same "Liuxia Palace Pastry" that tastes the same as before. Everyone can't help but feel that "things have changed and people have changed"!
"I'm ashamed to say it! We all need to eat, and we can live a peaceful life by living on food. But you and I, the few of us - except Brother Qi - actually have to follow the rules of 'beat, kill and kill' After half a life, I have never found peace in my heart, and I have no chance of wealth. Brother Ruoqi, doctors are kind-hearted. No matter what the disputes are, everyone needs medical treatment. Good people also get sick, and bad people also get sick. Those who make a living will be admired and respected by others throughout their lives, which is truly enviable!"
Wang Dan admired him sincerely, but Piao Li also felt guilty and responded:
"You are welcome! My secret thoughts are the same as yours. I have been thinking about how to get ahead and regain my family, but I can't escape the desires of ordinary people. Otherwise, as Brother Dan said, how could I have brought my sister to the throne? , sent to the palace, with the power of a mere woman, can a man realize his dream? The one who should be ashamed is me!"
