Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

At this time, Wu Maocai was in the living room, lighting the oil lamp and beating on the abacus, calculating the income of the shops in various places in the city in recent days.

As soon as a servant came to report, it was said that a distinguished guest from the Guo Mansion next door, Mr. Angel Shun from Chang'an Palace came to visit the master.

blah blah...

Wu Maocai was so excited that he threw the abacus in his hand on the table, dragged his shoes and hurried to the front yard with his clothes disheveled.

While running, he murmured excitedly: "God, all the nobles in this palace are staying in my Wu mansion, it's a good fortune, tsk tsk, what happened to the old Wu family recently, it's just a turn of events? "

In Wu Maocai's eyes, a celebrity like Eunuch Shun who walks in front of the emperor is the noble among the nobles.

Compared with Eunuch Shun, the county magistrate of Longxi and the captain of Yizhou Zhechong are simply weak!

As long as you get on the line with someone like Eunuch Shun who has hands and eyes, the old Wu family will be called a thunder from the ground, and their rise is in sight.

miso miso ~~

Running all the way in a hurry, rolling with a rich body, Wu Maocai could be regarded as running to the gate.

Taking a closer look, Eunuch Shun looked at himself at the gate with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Wu Maocai restrained his excitement, and shouted at the servants at the door: "You murderous talents, what kind of honored guest is Mr. Shun? You actually left him at the door? Bastard, bastard!"

"Uncle Fu, where are you? Hurry up, set off firecrackers, let off firecrackers, welcome Eunuch Shun into my Wu family compound..."

Eunuch Shun looked at Wu Maocai's actions and listened to his shouting, and couldn't help but despise him. The squires in small places just can't bear to be flattered.

However, he was thinking about Guo Ye's entrustment, and also thought that after Guo Ye's promise was fulfilled, there would be great benefits.

Immediately, he was full of energy, and he cupped his hands at Wu Maocai from afar and said, "Haha, the master in-law is really too polite, I am really flattered to have such a grand reception from the master in-law!"

"Eunuch Shun, please come in, please come in, you are welcome, my Wu family is a small family, I am flattered and full of glory!"

After Eunuch Shun finished his courtesies, he put on the air of a distinguished guest of the Chang'an Palace, nodded slightly, and accepted Wu Maocai's flirtatiousness frankly.

Then, with head held high and chest high, he swaggered across the threshold of the Wu Mansion, walked up to Wu Maocai, and said with a smile on his face:

"My lord, the old slave's visit today, although it is abrupt, but it is a real deal for you, and I am sending you a great fortune..."

Chapter 333 Eunuch Shun as a Lobbyist

Outside the hall, the moonlight is like water, spreading silver light all over the courtyard.

In the hall,

The oil lamps were flickering, and one, two, three or four, were placed around the living room, and the shadows of the lamps that swayed with the wind illuminated the hall.

In the huge living room, there are only Wu Maocai and Shun Gonggong.

Wu Maocai, the host, didn't dare to be too big, he didn't take the first place in the main hall, but he took the same place at the bottom like Eunuch Shun, sitting opposite each other, sitting on two rows of guest seats.

More than half a cup of tea, too much talk...

Eunuch Shun continued to talk about his reason for coming in a high-pitched voice, but the more Wu Maocai listened, the more something went wrong, and the more he listened, the more terrified he became.

His virtuous son-in-law, Guo Ye, actually wanted to take a concubine? ? ?

Where is this a big fortune?

Eunuch Shun's words were like a blow to the head, causing Wu Maocai's chest to feel tight and short of breath, and stars to shine in his eyes.

In an instant, Wu Maocai was furious, so angry that the tea bowl and tea lid that he was holding tightly in his hands slammed into each other. The opposite, the reverse, the married son-in-law actually wanted to take a concubine, and the surname Guo was using the old Wu family as mud Nirvana?

Wu Maocai still can't see where it is now. Eunuch Shun is obviously here today as a lobbyist for that bastard Guo Ye.

Anger turns to anger, anger turns to anger, Wu Maocai naturally did not dare to throw his face in front of Eunuch Shun, but as the head of the family, he still made a dissatisfied resistance.

I saw him put the tea bowl heavily on the wooden coffee table with a bang, and gritted his teeth with a gloomy face and hummed: "Guo Ye still wants to take a concubine? Doesn't he know his identity? Eunuch Shun, please comment, How can there be a married son-in-law clamoring for a concubine in the world, even if you say nothing, you can't make any sense, can you?"

Seeing Wu Maocai's reaction, Eunuch Shun gasped in his heart, hehe, our family still has a little temper right now, so we really don't know how to flatter.

But he still said with a smile: "Master, don't be annoyed, Mr. Guo is also afraid of making you angry, so he let this old slave come to be this lobbyist, haha..."

Wu Maocai shook his head stubbornly, and snorted: "It's not right, no matter how high Guo Ye climbs or how well he does, he will always be the son-in-law of my old Wu family, and this matter of taking a concubine is definitely not acceptable. My old Wu’s family has not died out yet, and secondly, my Xiuxiu family has not violated the seven rules. It is not up to him, Guo Ye, to decide the matter of taking concubines. If this spreads, the old Wu’s family has not yet been ruled by the county. Old man, can't the neighbors make plain jokes? No, absolutely not..."

When Eunuch Shun heard Wu Maocai's convincing words, there was no room for discussion, and he didn't sell any face to himself, his heart suddenly became angry, and his face darkened instantly.

Hehe, a local rich man is shameless and puts his nose on his face. Does he really think our family is a good friend?

Seeing that he was too weak, Eunuch Shun had no choice but to put on his official authority, play with arrogance, and snorted coldly: "Master Wu, are you a little unreasonable?"

For a while, even the address was changed from "Master in-Law" to "Master Wu", which immediately showed the separation and estrangement.

Wu Maocai also felt the chill in Eunuch Shun's words, and suddenly he was clever, feeling quite resentful in his heart, Grandma, being so angry at Guo Ye, made him speak incoherently and angrily, and offended Eunuch Shun.

But even so, Wu Maocai did not regret his decision, Guo Ye had no way to take a concubine.

Unless one's mind was caught by the door and kicked by a donkey, he wouldn't be so stupid as to let another woman compete for favor with his daughter Xiuxiu.

He knew in his heart that Guo Ye's momentum was bullish, and it was a good time for him to rise to the top. This was the result of victory exclusively for the old Wu family, and no one else could have his hands on it.

Eunuch Shun saw that his tone became suddenly cold, and Wu Maocai's attitude still had no room for change, so he couldn't mention how uncomfortable he was.

How dare you ignore the existence of our family, you poor country squire.

Immediately, Eunuch Shun got up suddenly, and shouted at Wu Maocai: "Master Wu, do you know where your son-in-law will take up his post in three years?"

Wu Maocai asked casually, "Where?"

"Humph!"

Eunuch Shun snorted coldly, pinched the orchid finger and pointed in the direction of Chang'an, and said sharply: "The imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an!"

Wu Maocai was quite surprised, and asked, "Chang'an? Where are you going?"

"Tch, it's so rare, isn't it?"

Eunuch Shun puffed out his chest arrogantly, and continued to say in a sissy way: "His Highness the Crown Prince values ​​your son-in-law very much, and he may be transferred to Chang'an as an official in three years' time."

"What? Your Highness the Crown Prince??"

Wu Maocai also stood up abruptly, with an expression of disbelief, he opened his eyes wide and shouted in panic.

When Eunuch Shun saw that Wu Maocai was really intimidated by pulling the tiger's skin, he couldn't help feeling proud, proud that he was a visitor from Chang'an.

Immediately, he said: "That is, otherwise, why did the crown prince Sheren, Mr. Fan, come to Guo's mansion from thousands of miles away? Why did our family come to see Mr. Guo again and again? You really think that the imperial physician in the palace is the Chinese cabbage grown in your field, Is it worthless?"

After Wu Maocai heard it, he suddenly realized, he let out a light sigh, and thought, so it is so.
