Turbulent Times Chapter 664: Join
(Thank you very much for the generosity of "Mudi Wolf Smoke" and "Tang Yefeng" and monthly ticket support.)
Usually, when dealing with official business, all the guests go through the front door, and only close friends or younger generations of the family enter through the back door. Hundreds of years later, greed and sycophantism prevailed, and the term "going through the back door" came from this.
The guests who startled the host's house and came to the front door to greet them are the distinguished guests at home. Therefore, Wang Junlin specially asked for an audience with the courtesy of a junior, but was arranged by the host to greet him at the front door.
Wang Junlin deliberately walked through the back door, and deliberately asked Shen Guang to lower his posture, and bribed the servants with money, just to test and observe Xiao Mahe's attitude towards them, the saintess of the South China Society, Chen Danying from these details. From the degree of attention of the sent people, from the changes in the expressions of the servants before and after they came back, and the degree of hasty footsteps, especially the change from the back door to the front door, it can be seen that Xiao Mahe still attaches great importance to Chen Danying, the saint, and thus also attaches great importance to their profession. People showed enough respect.
Wang Junlin didn't understand these rules when he first came to this era three years ago. This was when he visited Pei Shiju once, and the latter told him carefully. Since then, Wang Junlin has firmly remembered it.
Wang Junlin and his entourage went to the front office of General Xiao's mansion, the front door was also wide open, but it was the place where Xiao Mahe handled official affairs, not the place where the master's family welcomed guests. Wang Junlin and his party passed the main entrance, walked a few steps forward, and stopped by the side entrance in front.
The front and side doors for VIPs to enter and exit have already been opened by servants. Several neatly dressed male servants held long brooms and symbolically "swept" a path in front of the door. Xiao Mohe greeted him with a smile and walked Standing still in front of Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu who had already got off the carriage, his eyes were like knives, and he kept sizing up the two of them.
Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu looked calm, Wang Junlin put his hands on his heart, embraced his chest, bowed and said: "Xiao Hongshi, the younger generation of the family, took my wife to meet the third grandfather."
"Hahaha... Hong Shi has worked hard all the way, hurry up and enter the mansion, the old man has arranged for someone to prepare bath soup and delicious food to welcome you." Xiao Mahe glanced at Wang Junlin and his party, and then deeply He glanced at Wang Junlin and said with a smile, but he was a little disappointed in his heart. He thought that the saint would send him a master, but he didn't expect it was just a boy and a girl, but the strength of the six guards was not weak. The strength of the stagnation period is more or less a big help.
"Thank you third grandfather." Wang Junlin greeted the younger generation.
Xiao Mahe accepted it calmly, and brought everyone into the mansion, and saw an old man in his fifties, with a three-foot long beard and elegant demeanor, walking towards him.
"This is Elder Wang of our South China Association, this little brother is the envoy sent by the saint." Xiao Mohe introduced each other with a smile.
"This junior has met Elder Wang."
Wang Wei just nodded and did not speak.
Compared to Xiao Mahe's concern about whether Wang Junlin and his party's force can help them, Wang Kai looked at Wang Junlin and his party with scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes.
Following the wind and washing the dust, the wind and the wind naturally come first, and the group arrived in a courtyard with a pond in the middle hall, where they were seated as guests of honor.
Wang Junlin looked at them coldly and suspiciously, which made Wang Junlin feel uneasy and uneasy. After drinking a glass of wine, he said directly: "The saint sent us to help the two The elder killed Gao Ying, he could even kill Yang Liang, and let the two elders replace him. I don’t know if the two elders have a plan, how can I help you.”
What Xiao Mahe wanted to say, Wang Wei winked at him, and said coldly: "You two are so young, how strong are your strengths, even your six guards are all of stagnation period strength , although it can help some, but it is very limited."
Wang Junlin felt relieved. He thought Wang Wei doubted their identities, but it turned out that he only doubted their strength. This point is easy to resolve.
Wang Junlin glanced around, laughed and said: "The junior is a rough man, knowing that the two elders doubt our strength, why don't the two elders send a master to come out, if we can beat the junior, the juniors and the rest of us I am willing to be a dead soldier for the two elders, otherwise I will ask the two elders to give the saint messenger due respect."
Xiao Mahe and Wang Wei were stunned, but before they could speak, a woman at the side door said coquettishly, "Who are you to be so arrogant that you dare to come to our Xiao residence to act wildly?"
Wang Junlin looked intently, and his eyes lit up immediately.
The woman who spoke was wearing a very elegant black samurai uniform with a black belt on the edge; she was wearing a red silk smock, and she showed a row of white and neat teeth when she spoke. Her face, even in silence, was lively and charming. There is a strange temperament that makes people feel young and beautiful at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more fascinating it is.
Wang Junlin suddenly remembered the information about Xiao Mahe that he had read before, and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is Miss Xiao Feng'er, she is indeed magnificent, and she deserves to be called the number one beauty in Bingzhou."
Including Nie Xiaoyu and Chunqiu Lao Nu, Wang Junlin and his party suddenly heard Xiao Feng'er's name, and turned their heads to look at Xiao Feng'er.
Xiao Feng'er is beautiful, but influenced by her old father Xiao Mohe, she has loved martial arts since she was a child, and she thinks that martial arts are strong, and she likes to fight with others. At the scene, she never expected to call Wang Junlin out of her identity with just a few words. Seeing that her father was blowing his beard and staring at her, she knew that it would be difficult to do anything under such circumstances, so she showed a charming smile at Wang Junlin and turned around. gone.
At this time, an old voice sounded from among the guests behind Xiao Mahe and said: "This old man is Zheng Shengqiu, the iron-faced judge, so I reluctantly teach you, an arrogant young boy, a lesson."
This person speaks old-fashionedly, relying on the old to sell the old, which makes people very annoying after hearing it.
Wang Junlin has done enough homework on the way here, and he knows that Zheng Shengqiu is the number one master under Xiao Mahe's command, and a veteran master in the north, but how could he be afraid of such a person, and sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, come out if you want to fight."
As he spoke, he jumped up from his seat, flipped three times in a row, crossed a space of four or five feet, and landed on the edge of the small pool in the middle of the spacious banquet.
"Your words are disrespectful." At this moment, there was a violent shout like Ruoping Jiaolei, and then a figure flashed, and Zheng Shengqiu, who claimed to be an iron-faced judge, appeared on the field, confronting Wang Junlin across the pool, holding the faucet The steel rod also has a certain momentum.
This iron-masked judge was in his fifties, with a pair of protruding ears. He was not tall, but he gave off a powerful and solid feeling. But with his gorgeous clothes, pale face, and swollen eyes, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this person has been addicted to alcohol and **** for a long time.
