Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 142
Wei House.

"Young master, there is a young man outside asking to see the master. The younger ones have poor eyesight and don't recognize which family's son it is. This is a greeting."

The man frowned and said, "What time is it? Whose house visitor would pick this time for dinner, what place would our house be?"

The servant said: "Back to the young master, the younger one said the same at the time, but the man said that as long as the master reads the greeting post, he will definitely meet him even if he falls asleep. But he is very handsome, isn't he afraid of delaying the matter, so let the young master come and have a look first, if you don't know him, then send him away."

When he opened the invitation post, the man burst out laughing, and said, "Why did he come, and there was no news about it beforehand? He just stepped on the spot to grab a meal."

Seeing this, the servant asked: "Then, little one, invite him in?"

"Come in, please, this is our own family, but don't tell your father, you always listen to what he says about him, you bring him here first, I will meet him, and call my mother Come."

"Yes"

At the gate of Wei Mansion.

Seeing the low wall, Qin Hao couldn't help but support Wei Zheng. He knew Wei Zheng's name, but he never expected that the Wei family's house was so dilapidated. After all, he was also one of the prime ministers of the imperial court, Li Shimin's right-hand man, Great Tang Unlike the Ming and Qing Dynasties, even if there was no corruption, the sum of annual salary and official land income would not be so low. If there is a strong man here, he can jump over the fence with a little run-up.

"Brother, this is Wei Xiang's house. Why does it feel that it's not as grand as Li Xiaoci's? I'm afraid it's not as good as ordinary wealthy households."

"Although my master is not from a poor family, he is not very rich either. There is no spare talent in the family, and he lives on the little salary. There are so many seven aunts and eight aunts. If anyone can't help, how can he be with the majestic Huai'an palace?" Bi, the house at home is small, which shows that my master has a clean sleeve and a solid character."

"Yes, yes, you are right, shall we also live in? Will it be a little crowded?"

"Hey, you brat just lived a good life for a few days, and you forgot your roots so quickly. You didn't see you being hypocritical before laying two feet of straw and sleeping. Why do you think the house of the dignified minister is too small now?"

"How can it be, brother, aren't you scolding me? I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for the four of us to squeeze in, Prime Minister Wei and the others. I guess there are not even four guest rooms in this house."

Qin Hao thought about it, and said, "That's true. Besides, we must have our own place in Chang'an. In the past two days, you should familiarize yourself with the situation in Chang'an and buy a house of our own as soon as possible."

"Yes."

After a while, the servants came to invite them, Qin Hao didn't think much, and took Sun Er and the others into the courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw a rockery standing in the middle, with a spring flowing over it , just blocked the way, the man led the people from the small corridor on the right, and led them to a house after turning around.

Qin Hao thought to himself, this is the method of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The world said that Suzhou gardens are the best in the world, but they don’t think about why the political center of China has always been in the north, but the best gardens are in the south. The reason is nothing more than the small size. Because of the small size, a few more corridors were built, and the places two or three steps away had to be made in all directions, just to make it look a little bigger.

Qin Hao couldn't help asking: "Master, as the head of the court, he lives in this place, and he feels wronged. If you want to say that he is just honest, isn't it a bit..."

The servant smiled and said, "Master, don't you think it's too much?"

Qin Hao smiled and said nothing.

If the son doesn't say anything about the father's faults, it's not easy for the apprentice to say anything about the master, but everyone knows more or less in their hearts.

Even if Wei Zheng’s savings before he joined the Tang Dynasty were all blown away by the wind, but he has been Li Jiancheng’s crown prince for so many years, wouldn’t it be impossible for Li Jiancheng not to pay his salary, and it’s even more so if it’s Li Shimin? For the sake of it, but there will be rewards that should be given on weekdays, not to mention that their family also runs a wine shop. Is it clean and honest?

The servant turned his head and said secretly: "Master, is the master's new disciple Qin Hao?"

Qin Hao wasn't surprised either. If the servant of Wei's mansion didn't have such a little vision, he would be in vain, so he simply nodded and accepted it.

"Since it's my own, it's okay to tell the young master. In fact, this matter is not a secret, as long as you ask around, you can know."

Qin Hao said: "Please ask the old man to clarify."

"Hey! What else can it be, mistress, our mistress is not an ordinary family, she is also a well-known family, she was born in the Pei family in Hedong, and she knows the general. A woman wove silk and spun yarn, but the empress stopped, but she didn't. The saint heard that our house was small and narrow, and wanted to change it to a bigger house, but the mistress insisted that the master was used to living in the old house and went to the new one. I’m not used to living here, it’s okay, I just want to move now, but I can’t move.”

Qin Hao felt a toothache when he heard it. Even if their own servants said this word, they would be full of joy, let alone others.

To put it bluntly, this woman is too big for a show, and she is somewhat blind. You refuse Li Er's words in person. Now it's all right. Don't even think about changing to a big house for the rest of your life. If you can't get down, Li Er is also hurt. Isn't this uncomfortable for others who are choking on purpose?

From this trivial matter, it can be seen that the relationship between Li Er and Wei Zheng is still not good. Look at Fang Xuanling, who doesn't need rehearsals to sing the oboe with Li Er, when will there be such a big mistake.

Vaguely, Qin Hao remembered a joke from his previous life.

It is said that when Wei Zheng was about to die, Li Shimin sent the imperial physician to visit, but the imperial physician found that Wei Zheng's house was leaking everywhere, and Li Shimin actually sent someone to send two silk quilts.

It's weird, an emperor and a prime minister specially sent two quilts, and what's even more weird is that Wei Zheng's wife actually refused, refused, it's over. . . . .

When I read this story when I was a child, I thought Wei Zheng was so honest, but later I realized that it was all nonsense!That's Wei Zheng, not Hai Rui! !If you are an official in the Tang Dynasty, you can live a good life if you don't get corrupted!Besides, Wei Zheng is still a first-class Duke.

But at this time, listen to this servant, if this teacher's wife is really like this. . . . .Damn, it might not be impossible!The future Wei Zheng won't just be trapped in this small crappy house for a lifetime, and he can't even fit a silk quilt, right? This woman doesn't have to be so cruel to cheat her husband!
It turns out that he was right.

The servant didn't lead him to Wei Zheng first, but to his teacher's wife first, and saw that the woman had a dignified appearance, but she was wearing a coarse cloth, with sleeves on her hands, and she was weaving meticulously, beside her. He also followed a younger brother who looked about the same age as him, and when he saw Qin Hao being ushered in, he showed a very happy smile and said, "It's Qin Hao who came, I always heard the master praise you, and now I finally see you!" Come on, come on, come and do it."

But Qin Hao couldn't help feeling a pain in his balls. Damn, Empress Changsun led everyone to weave to make a show for the world to see. What are you trying to figure out?Besides, now that everyone else has stopped, you still don't stop, what does this mean?Are you more virtuous than Empress Changsun?
But no matter what you say, do you still have to see the salute, "I have met the teacher's wife, this should be the senior brother, I came from Luoyang, and brought some small gifts to honor the teacher's wife."

As Qin Hao was about to take out something, he became angry when his teacher slapped the table: "Stop! Don't you know your teacher's reputation of incorruptibility?"
