surnamed Wang

Chapter 192 Family Dinner
Wang Gangquan and the two came to the front of the palace gate, and when they were about to step in, they heard a voice from behind:
"Brother Wang, wait a minute, wait for me."

Wang Gangquan turned his head when he heard the sound, and immediately understood what he had forgotten just now.

At this time, Liu Luming was sitting on the bullock cart, waving to him.

This is not the ox cart that the officials of the Western Jin Dynasty took, but a veritable ox cart.

There is no canopy, and no soft gold seat, but only wooden boards and straw.

It was not the groom who was driving the carriage, and the servants in the carriage were not handsome maids, but old men and old ladies.

"Brother Lu Ming, what is this?"

Liu Luming smiled at the old lady beside him, then turned over and got out of the car. After getting out of the car, he didn't forget to pat the wheat straw on his body.

"Brother Wang, don't mention it, do you have any money?"

……

The old couple on the other side stared wide-eyed at this moment, they never thought that a young man randomly pulled by the side of the road was really a remarkable person.

They used to live in the western suburbs, but this time they came to visit relatives in the capital, and happened to see a young man on the way, so they dropped by.

The young man claimed to be a servant in the imperial court and asked the old man to help him send him to the vicinity of the palace.

Both husband and wife were warm-hearted, so they agreed.

People tend to talk a lot when they get old, the old lady was really bored after a day's ride in the car, and now she managed to catch a stranger, so she chatted with him.

Liu Luming is also a close talker, he can chat better than the old lady.

The two were chatting, and they expected a big marriage. The old lady saw that he was working in the imperial court at a young age, and presumably he was a civil servant in the Yamen, so she deliberately wanted to introduce her granddaughter to the other party.

Liu Luming refused repeatedly after hearing the words, saying that he already had a woman he liked.

The old man only thought he was thin-skinned, and he was embarrassed, so he tried to persuade him more often, and finally made Liu Luming blush.

Seeing Liu Luming talking with a luxuriously dressed man, and they looked very familiar, the old couple felt that they were short-sighted. The other party's so-called job in the court was much higher than what they thought. At least, It's also a ninth grade.

Now the old man only regrets that he didn't persuade the old woman and let her say a few words. If he offended the young man, wouldn't it be a disaster for nothing.

……

"How much do you want?"

"Two thirty taels."

Liu Luming gritted his teeth and said, it seems that this is an extremely extraordinary number for him.

"I never bring change when I go out, this is the smallest."

As he spoke, Wang Bingquan handed over a 100 tael bank note.

"This……"

Liu Luming took the bank note with a constipated expression on his face.

Just now he promised the old couple who were driving the ox cart that he would give them some money in return. Although the other party said no, Liu Luming still disdains to do things like breaking his promise.

But when he got out of the car, he found that he had no money at all, so he had to turn to Wang Gangquan for help.

Liu Luming held the bank note and looked at it for a long time, it was almost worth half a year's salary.

Looking back at the old couple behind him, he finally gritted his teeth and walked towards them.

"Well, thank you two for taking me all the way just now, there is some money here, it's not a respect."

"Hey, don't dare to be, don't be, it's our blessing that adults can ride in our car, but don't dare to mention money."

After all, the old man had seen some of the world, so he quickly declined. Although he didn't look at the denomination of the bank note, he dared not accept it no matter how much it was.

"Just accept it, I, Liu Luming, am a man of my word."

"It's really not necessary, we're just dropping by."

The old man continued to decline.

"Just accept it, my brother, I value credit more than life. If you don't accept it today, he will hit a wall later."

At this time, Wang Gangquan came over.

"Huh? Is it so serious?"

The old man obviously believed it. He knew that scholars had some eccentricities, some valued righteousness, and some had duplicate names. However, this was the first time he had heard of such a person who valued credit so much.

But they are high officials, how can ordinary people like them understand the thinking of high officials? If they understand, wouldn't they also become high officials?

Perhaps because he was really afraid that the young man in front of him would hit the wall, the old man finally chose to accept the bank note.

Although Liu Luming was distressed, there was still a sense of righteousness on his face.

After all, the fact that I value credit has already spread, even if I insist on it, I have to support it.

Wang Gangquan held back a smile and pulled Liu Luming aside. After entering the palace gate, he couldn't help it:

"Hahaha, brother Lu Ming, your expression is really wonderful. In the words of a martial arts person, it means internal injury."

"Brother Wang, don't make fun of me. It's not your fault."

Liu Luming had a resentful expression on his face, and he didn't intend to laugh at all.

"That's all, seeing how pitiful you are, the 100 taels is my friendly sponsorship, and you don't need to pay it back."

"really?"

"Of course, seeing your wonderful expression, the 100 taels is worth it."

"..."

Wang Gingquan, who was in high spirits, suddenly frowned, "I seem to have forgotten something."

"What?"

"Wife..."

At this time, Yan Rongrong was being stopped at the door by the guards, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

If it was a normal day, no one would dare to stop Miss Yan from entering the palace, but today is a royal family banquet, and no one else is allowed to enter.She just watched Wang Gingquan and Liu Luming enter the palace gate talking and laughing, and when she realized that she wanted to enter, she was stopped.

Just when Yan Rongrong was about to lose his temper, he saw Wang Gingquan running out of the palace gate in a hurry. When he passed by the guards, he did not forget to say:
"Family, family."

Immediately after everyone was stunned, they pulled Yan Rongrong up and stepped into the palace gate again.

Yan Rongrong, who originally wanted to vent his anger, blushed instantly when he heard the word "family member". He didn't dare to look at other people's expressions, and followed Wang Gingquan into the palace with his head down.

Wang Gangquan had notified the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange seats in advance, so the three of them found their seats directly after arriving.

Facing the gazes of the people around him, Wang Gingquan directly pulled Yan Rongrong to sit down. The people who had already been present cast strange glances at this scene.

Concubine Yang Gui naturally knew what her son was thinking, so she just smiled and said nothing.

Although the emperor felt a little surprised, he didn't ask anything.

As for the third princess Wang Bingyao who was familiar with Yan Rongrong, the smile in her eyes grew stronger.

The rest of the people were all curious, and some empresses who were familiar with Concubine Yang had already started asking in low voices.

These people automatically ignored Liu Luming who came with him out of gossip about Wang Gangquan and the other two.

Their reaction just followed Liu Luming's wish. At this moment, he was looking at Wang Binghui on the opposite side with affection.

The Sixth Princess Wang Binghui's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she lowered her head.

"Hey, do you smell a sour smell?"

A young eunuch asked in a low voice to his companion in doubt.

"No, there is something wrong with your nose."

"No, I smelled it too."

Another little eunuch also echoed.

"Strange, it seems that this smell started after the Eighth Prince and others came in."

"Shh...you don't want to die."

……

This smell is called the sour smell of love.
