Li Shui continued: "Wang Wan is still too impatient. This time he is not as steady as Zhao Teng."
Li Xin wondered and said: "Zhao Teng is steady? He is steady. He didn't say a word in the Yizheng Hall today."
Li Shui smiled and said, "I have already seen through his little thoughts."
"He didn't say anything today not because he didn't want to say it, but because he was waiting for an opportunity."
Li Xin asked: "What opportunity?"
Li Shui said slowly: "If I had promised to cooperate with the courtiers who sent the list yesterday, Zhao Teng would definitely be the first to speak in the political hall today."
Li Xin thought for a while and said: "In other words, when we cooperate with those courtiers and have interests, Zhao Teng will speak in front of His Majesty."
Li Shui nodded and said, "It's a pity that Wang Wan was so anxious that Zhao Teng's opportunity was lost."
Li Xin laughed and said: "There are so many people who hate Wang Wan now. I'm afraid he didn't even expect that his impatience and recklessness aroused everyone's anger."
Li Xin continued: "Then should we go to Wang Wan's mansion to congratulate him?"
Li Shui laughed and said, "Wouldn't this make us look too bad?"
······
In front of Wang Wan's mansion, some courtiers gathered. They were all the adults who sent someone to deliver the roster to Shang Jun's Courtyard yesterday.
Each of them carried a basket of eggs, which looked very funny.
At first, there were only one or two adults walking around in front of the mansion carrying eggs, but now there were about ten people gathered, including some Guizhou heads watching the fun.
The servants in the mansion had never seen this battle before, so they hurried into the mansion and walked to Wang Wan's study.
Wang Wan was sighing at this.
Obviously I'm thinking about Da Qin, but why do everyone seem to be looking at me a little weird today.
Those who sent the roster to Shangjun Courtyard didn't care if they looked at me unkindly. After all, they were attempting to commit a crime.
Why is it that even Zhao Teng looks at me with some hostility?
As far as I know, not only did he not go to Mr. Qi's house with Huai Guzi that day, but he also did not send someone to send a list of winemakers to Shangjun Courtyard afterwards.
Logically speaking, even if he doesn't support me, he shouldn't have any objections to my advice.
Wang Wan shook his head, confused.
At this time, the servant came in and said, "Sir, more and more people are gathering outside the mansion."
Wang Wan frowned and asked, "Who is it?"
The servant said: "There are about ten adults and some Guizhou people who are watching the fun."
Wang Wan asked in confusion: "A dozen adults? What are they doing in front of my house?"
The servant said: "Their behavior is quite strange. They are carrying a basket of eggs."
Wang Wan's frown deepened, and he gradually realized that something bad was going to happen.
Wang Wan ordered: "Go and close the door. No one is allowed in."
The servant responded, turned around and ran towards the gate.
After the servant arrived at the door of the mansion, he called the people outside and hurriedly closed the door.
The adults outside the door snorted coldly when they saw that Wang Wan actually had the door closed.
We are so cowardly. Where is the courage we had when we complained to His Majesty?
The dozen or so adults had almost arrived, and one of them stepped forward.
As he walked, he said loudly: "The Prime Minister has worked hard for state affairs, and nutrition still needs to be kept up."
After saying that, he lifted the basket.
The servant inside the door looked out through the crack in the door.
Seeing that the adults outside were actually giving eggs to the Prime Minister, they widened their eyes and looked at each other.
What's going on? The prime minister is so concerned about state affairs that he comes here to deliver eggs? Does the Prime Minister's Mansion lack these eggs?
This is the first time I heard that eggs are given as gifts.
Another servant whispered: "How can we guess what the adults are thinking?"
"I'm afraid this egg is no ordinary egg. Maybe I'm giving you a golden egg in the name of an ordinary egg."
The servant next to him hissed and took a breath.
"Quietly outside, how many golden eggs are there? If the gift is so obvious, won't it be too eye-catching?"
Another servant said: "So the Prime Minister asked us to close the door quickly and no one is allowed in, so as not to cause trouble and get tongues wagging."
Several servants were talking, and when the servant outside the door was going up the steps, he fell down with a sound, his posture was quite elegant, and the eggs fell on the floor towards the door of the mansion.
Several servants opened their mouths with surprised expressions on their faces. One of the servants finally couldn't help but said: "This fall... the acting is too poor."
Other adults outside the door also laughed in a low voice and said: "Although the traces of the flop are a little obvious, it might as well be that the eggs were shattered on the ground."
The adult who had fallen over stood up, looked at the eggs scattered on the ground, shook his head, and said, "What a pity. I wanted to give these eggs to the Prime Minister, but I felt unwell today and couldn't stand up for a while."
Then he said loudly: "Come to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion again one day."
After saying that, he straightened his clothes, turned around and left.
Through the crack in the door, I saw several servants saying, "This? Are you leaving now?"
Another servant sniffed his nose and said, "Did you smell any strange smell?"
Several servants also smelled it vigorously and said, "Why does it smell bad?"
"Did you fart?"
Several people shook their heads.
Then a sharp-eyed servant said: "It's an egg!"
"Look, they're all black, they're rotten eggs!"
At this time, several adults behind them started to fall down one after another, and rotten eggs were scattered on the ground in front of the house.
It was nothing at first, but now it just stinks.
The servants were covering their noses and looking out.
In the end, the adults didn't even bother to dive, thinking it was a redundant action.
Holding the basket, he pretended not to stand still, then stumbled and threw the eggs out.
The servant couldn't bear it anymore, so he covered his nose and ran to the flowers nearby to vomit.
One of the servants hurried to Wang Wan's study to report.
After hearing this, Wang Wan looked shocked.
He slapped the table and said coldly: "It's unreasonable. These gangsters actually threw rotten eggs in front of my door."
"Don't think that you can do whatever you want with Huai Guzi's backing. Come on, follow me."
After saying that, Wang Wan led the people towards the gate.
At this time, Li Shui and Li Xin were almost in front of Wang Wan's mansion.
Li Xin sniffed it hard and said in confusion: "Brother Huai, did you fart?"
Li joked and scolded: "Brother Li, you have to be honest. If you were the one who let it go, just admit it. Why bother asking me back?"
Just when Li Xing was about to speak, the Prime Minister's Mansion had already arrived.
Li Xin wondered: "The stench is even worse. Why are there so many people gathered in front of me?"
"Did someone poop in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Li Shui and Li Xin pushed through the crowd and walked forward. They were puzzled when they saw the rotten eggs lying on the ground in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After asking the people next to me, I found out the general situation.
Li Xin smiled and said: "Brother Huai, those ministers who were instigated by you actually came to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion to vent their anger."
Li Shui said slowly: "I didn't expect them to think of using rotten eggs. I didn't even think of it."
Li Xin laughed and said, "I thought they sent someone to park the dung truck at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
By chance, Wang Wan walked to the door and noticed the smell of rotten eggs from a distance.
Wang Wan covered her nose and looked out through the crack in the door. She happened to see Li Shui and Li Xin laughing in front of the crowd.
Wang Wan clenched her fists and wanted to open the door and rush out, but was stopped by the servant next to her.
The servant urged: "Sir, if you go out now, there is no place to stay. There are rotten eggs outside."
"If you are not careful, you will really fall!"
