Wang Zhongxiao lifted up his robe and walked into the hall. The lighting in the hall was not very good, but he could still see a beautiful woman wearing a blue flag sitting facing the door. This woman is less than thirty years old. If you look closely, she is still a charming beauty. Her hair is neatly combed, her eyebrows are thick, her lips are light red, her skin is white, and her facial features are dignified. ....The eye sockets are slightly sunken, the nose is slightly aquiline, and the eyebrows are a bit sharp. So this beautiful woman looks a bit fierce!
Wang Zhongxiao has already inquired with Zhang Xiaobao and Guo Jinbao, the two "Eight Banners Baixiaosheng", and knows that Mingzhu's daughter-in-law does not look fierce, but is really fierce! He has been tough since he was a child. He often went hunting with Azig and Dorgon. It is said that he even killed the big bad wolf with his own hands with the help of Wang Fuchen!
That pearl was handsome and had a bright future, but she was obsessed with the beauty of this girl named Wu Linzhu and married this tough girl back. She has been manipulated for more than ten years.
However, when Ji Gege saw Wang Zhongxiao, not only was he not fierce, but his smile was a little charming...so that Wang Zhongxiao kept looking at the face of the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy standing next to Ji Gege—— This young man is a bit chubby, not particularly tall, and his facial features together look a bit elegant, not like Wang Zhongxiao at all.
It seems... the adultery is not serious, and the hat on Mingzhu's head may not be green.
When Wang Zhongxiao was looking at the young man, Gewu Linzhu spoke again: "Zhongxiao, this is my son Xingde, Nalan Xingde."
It’s Nalan Xingde, not Wang Xingde!
The relationship between this Jigege and Wang Fuchen may be the kind of beauty that life just meets for the first time, but the only one who can really coax her and pamper her is Nalan Mingzhu, a bachelor with a strict wife... If replaced by a grumpy one, Wang Fuchen, these two must fight!
"I have met Mr. Xingde." Wang Zhongxiao bowed his hand to Nalan Xingde, and then lifted up the scroll in his hand. "I heard that Mr. Xingde likes calligraphy and painting, so I bought it at Zhenbaozhai outside Dashilar. Please give me the calligraphy, Master."
Jigege burst into laughter: "Zhongxiao, I'm very happy that you can come to see me, my old master. What else can you give me as a gift? Even if you want to ask my Ai Gen (husband in Manchu) for help, just follow I’ll just say it.”
"Gege, one code means the other." Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "Although you are my father's old master, I can't let Bachelor Ming's hard work go in vain! What's more, I still want to be a bachelor of Ming in the future, and I can't be bad. Got the rules.”
Wang Zhongxiao said this with some sincerity!
Having served the people for many years in his previous life, he had a lot of knowledge about official cliques in the old society. I know that in the evil old society, being an official requires forming cliques for personal gain. I also know that during the Kangxi period, there were two major cliques, the Mingzhu Clique and the Soetu Clique, engaged in party disputes.
Although this party struggle is wrong, Wang Zhongxiao, who aspired to be the final minister of the Qing Dynasty, knew that if he could not join forces with Mingzhu, Suo'etu and others, he would not be able to be the final minister of the Qing Dynasty.
Since you want to join forces with others, you have to choose one of Mingzhu and Suo'etu to become your beloved friend. He has no way to join the Sou Party now, but he has an old relationship with Mingzhu's wife, so becoming Mingzhu's beloved friend is his first choice.
With Mingzhu as his backer, not to mention what happens in the future, he will probably be able to progress to the position of Kang Mazi's confidant thug now more quickly.
Wang Zhongxiao estimated that this pearl was able to prosper after the fall of Obai. He must have participated in the struggle to defeat Obai... The subsequent prosperity was his "blood reward"!
If there is no such "blood reward", why should he compete with Suo'etu?
Therefore, if Kangxi wanted to find a gold medal fighter, he would definitely listen to Mingzhu's advice. As long as Mingzhu speaks to Wang Zhongxiao and gives some advice, Wang Zhongxiao will definitely get some "blood reward" for defeating Obai...
"Oh?" Jige Gewu Linzhu, of course, didn't know what Wang Zhongxiao was thinking, and looked at him with a frown, "Didn't your father follow King Pingxi? Didn't he get along well in Yunnan? Why did he think of coming to Beijing to swim in the muddy waters? ?”
"Gege," Wang Zhongxiao said, "my father followed King Pingxi and could only be a general soldier at most... But he was tired of being a general soldier and wanted to be promoted to an admiral or even an admiral. Governor. And I also want to find a career as a royal guard, but this King Pingxi can’t give me that."
"Hey, you and your father are very big-hearted," Wu Linzhu shook her head and said, "I can't give you the pearl of the admiral or bodyguard, so you have to seek refuge with Grand Master Ao."
"Gege, my father knows that Master Ming is the emperor's confidant, so he asked me to follow you, Gege, to hang out with Master Ming." Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "Now everyone in the officialdom is betting on Master Ao, but the emperor's side has become a It was an upset... My father was thinking that Master Ao was getting old and the Qing Dynasty would eventually have to listen to the emperor in the future, so he wanted to get there early and get a good position with the emperor."
Jigege smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't he afraid of being like Suk Saha?"
"Not afraid," Wang Zhongxiao shook his head, "King Pingxi will not let Master Ao touch my father."
Wu Linzhu snorted: "But Taishi Ao can touch a brat like you who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!"
"I'm not afraid either!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "Wealth can be gained through danger! As long as Master Ao looks down on me as a junior and doesn't bother to kill me, won't I occupy a good position next to the emperor?"
In fact, Wang Zhongxiao had already been sure that Obai would not kill him... He was not Suksaha. Suksaha and Obai were close friends, and he also wanted to take advantage of Kangxi. With the support of Ao Bai, he seized power. If Obai doesn't kill him, he will kill him. As for a person of Wang Zhongxiao's level, even if he became a Lan Ling bodyguard, he would still be a small character who could not even touch Obai's feet. It would be easy for Obai to trample him to death, but there were so many small characters like this, how could he trample them all to death? If he wants to trample them all to death, then he must really want to be Cao Cao and Ao Mengde of the Qing Dynasty!
But Obai really didn't have such an idea. He only wanted to be in power until his death, and never thought of usurping Aisin Gioro's world. Therefore, Wang Zhongxiao's unpopularity in betting on Kangxi did not bother Obai at all. After all, Obai was already quite old, and Kangxi was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Wang Zhongxiao, a young man of 17 or 18 years old, had a lot of time to work hard with the young emperor Kangxi, so it was normal not to hang out with the old man Ao Bai.
In addition, Wu Sangui has agreed to let Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui come forward to recommend Wang Zhongxiao to Ao Bai. With Wu Sangui's face, Obai would never kill Wang Zhongxiao, and he would not stand in Wang Zhongxiao's way.
Oboi might not promote Wang Zhongxiao, but if Kangxi saw that Wang Zhongxiao was handsome and wanted to work for a bodyguard, he would not stop him...Wu Sangui's people, what would he stop? Could Kangxi still collude with Wu Sangui to rebel? It’s impossible even if you think about it!
Wu Linzhu saw Wang Zhongxiao's motivated look, and couldn't help but think of the time when she first met Wang Fuchen... So she sighed softly: "Forget it, since you are not even afraid of Obei, then you can Wait for a while at my house. My daughter will be back from work in a while. Then you can discuss with me and see if there is any way for the emperor to promote you."
When he heard that he could meet Mingzhu, Wang Zhongxiao immediately saluted Wu Linzhu and said loudly: "Xie Gege!"
"Thank you no matter what, we are all one of our own...Don't stand still, sit down quickly, sit down and wait slowly." Wu Linzhu then asked the servant to serve Wang Zhong tea, and then said to him He inquired: "Zhongxiao, how has your father been in the past two years?"
Wang Zhongxiao picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, moistened his throat, and then replied with a smile: "Him? He is fine... I just miss my old masters a little."
"Oh..." Wulinzhu Gege looked a little sad, maybe she was also missing her Amma Azige and her uncle Dorgon, right?
At this time, a loud voice suddenly came from outside: "Gege, are there any guests at home?"
This is the return of Pearl!
It’s really a pearl, the pearl has arrived!
When Wu Linzhuge heard her husband's voice, she stood up with a smile and walked towards the entrance of the hall. Nalan Xingde and Wang Zhongxiao also followed her. When she walked into the second courtyard, she saw a man wearing an official uniform. A man with elegant appearance and full official accent.
Needless to say, this man must be Nalan Mingzhu, a bachelor of Hongwen Academy.
Wang Zhongxiao quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Junior Wang Zhongxiao has met Bachelor Ming."
Mingzhu was stunned when she heard the words "Wang Zhongxiao" - he had just heard the emperor mention this name in the South Study Room!
Wu Linzhu Gege introduced from the side: "Husband, he is Wang Zhongxiao, Wang Fuchen's son, whose pseudonym is Shikai."
"Ah," Mingzhu finally realized and asked with a frown, "You are Wang Fuchen's second son Wang Shikai!"
"It's the junior."
Mingzhu asked again: "Yesterday, you and Baozi Zhang's son went to play in the imperial kitchen. As a result, you got into a fight with the Guanyin protector next to Uncle Fu at the arrow pavilion outside Jingyun Gate. To begin with, just kick him over?"
"It's true," Wang Zhongxiao said. "This junior has been in front of the army for a long time and has long forgotten the rules of wrestling."
"Is there such a thing?" Wu Linzhu chuckled, "Sure enough, he is just like Wang Fuchen!"
"I'm really ashamed." Wang Zhongxiao said while thinking to himself: How could I be the same as Wang Fuchen? I am much kinder than him!
"There's no need to be ashamed, it's just a competition." After Mingzhu confirmed that this Wang Zhongxiao was the Wang Zhongxiao that Kangxi wanted to test, she smiled and raised her hand and pointed across the hall, "Please come in, I have something to tell you."
