Chapter 632: The Realm of Cheeky
ps:
Thank you to the "Boulder Cooper" book friend for the reward of 100 Qidian coins, thank you!!
According to Wang Sancai's age, in the context of this era, children should have run around the ground long ago.
He is still alone, and it is already very abnormal in the eyes of others.
Wang Sancai completely understood that this old guy was simply suggesting that he proposed marriage!!
But the key is, how did he know that he hadn't gotten married yet?
Wang Sancai looked Shangguan Linggan up and down a few times. The old guy smiled very kindly, like an old man next door. However, the more Wang Sancai looked at his smile, the more he felt the more he felt.
He suddenly began to understand little by little. The old guy first told him the reason why the queen hated Yang Hongguang to the core was to let him hold a handle on him.
Just imagine, only the queen himself, the old man of the Yang family and Shangguan Linggan knew that the old man of the Yang family had long died, so at present, only Shangguan Linggan and the queen himself knew about this matter, and even Yang Hongguang, who had been beaten to the head, was in a mess.
Let’s not talk about the queen himself for now. Then, Shangguan Linggan is the only one who knows about this matter. The key is that he also told himself about this matter. If this matter is spread, then who should the queen ask for trouble?
Apart from Shangguan Linggan, there is no other person to doubt!!
This old guy told himself about this, that he would hold a handle of him to show his sincerity in apologizing, and at the same time, he also had the meaning of pulling himself into the water.
Wang Sancai felt chills in his heart. The old man's simple words completely made him feel that he was indeed not hostile to him. In the past, he seemed to have no intention of "intentional" in his opinion.
However, Wang Sancai was really not interested. He smiled slightly and politely refused, "Sorry, Lord Shangguan, I already have a beloved woman."
"Oh?" Shangguan Linggan was really surprised: "I wonder which girl is so lucky?"
Wang San was about to say Zhuang Biyun's name, but his heart suddenly jumped! Zhuang Biyun is a person from the enemy country. Wouldn't he tell her to make this old guy suspect him?
Wang Sancai pondered for a moment and then smiled and said, "She is a very ordinary woman. She followed me to this strange country now. I am very grateful to her and don't want to let her down."
"I don't want General Wang to be such a lovely person." The old man smiled very kindly, and his tone suddenly changed: "I heard that General Wang came to our country of Li this time, and there were two women in the team. I wonder which one is General Wang's sweetheart?"
"From Lord Shangguan's perspective, which one will it be?" Wang Sancai did not answer the question positively, but threw the question to him.
Shangguan Linggan smiled and said with a smile: "I heard His Majesty talk about these two women, and I was fortunate to see them once by chance. In my opinion, the woman in green is lively and active, but she has a bit of dusty spirit and impetuousness who has never been tutored. However, the other woman acts dignified and generously and looks much more calm. If I guess correctly, General Wang's sweetheart is this woman."
At this point, Wang Sancai had to bite the bullet and treat Aning as a shield. He smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Shangguan has a unique vision. Mo Jiang's sweetheart is this Aning girl. Therefore, Mo Jiang can only appreciate Lord Shangguan's invitation."
Having said that, Wang Sancai's intention to refuse was already very obvious.
However, Shangguan Linggan was unyielding and smiled without any anger, "Oh? General Wang is a talented person. His strength is extraordinary and outstanding. All he lacks is a strong support. As a man, it is normal for three wives and four concubines. I did not force General Wang to let that girl down, right?"
Damn... this old guy is too shameless?
It was so obvious that this old guy was even pestering him.
Having said that, if Wang Sancai plans to stay in Li Kingdom from now on, it would be best if a person like him who has no foundation to marry a big backer with a deep foundation. The Shangguan family needs money and power, and has outstanding contributions to the kingdom's financial support or other aspects. Of course, it is the best choice.
But the problem is that Wang Sancai didn't plan to stay here for more.
Therefore, he still politely refused and said, "I will not hide it from Lord Shangguan. I once made a pity that I would only marry her in this life, so I would like to ask Lord Shangguan not to make things difficult for me."
Wang Sancai refused one after another, which really made Shangguan Linggan frown. His eyes rolled and he smiled, "Okay, since General Wang has such strict ethics, I, the old man, naturally cannot rely on my seniority to force General Wang. Let's do this. General Wang will treat me as a face as an old man who is about to enter the grave. Can you go to my place to have a cup of tea with me?"
Seeing his energetic appearance, Wang Sancai could not connect with his about to enter the grave, but he said this to this point. If Wang Sancai refused, it would be like he would have swept his face.
Besides, now he has a handle in his hand. Although he is passive, he has to make the old man feel at ease with him and make him realize that he is not his enemy.
So, Wang Sancai hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'm better obey my orders than respect."
...
So, as soon as he left the court, Wang Sancai got on Shangguan Linggan's carriage, and drove out of the palace and came to a grand castle near the palace.
As the most powerful Shangguan family in the kingdom, the castle was built slightly inferior to the palace. As soon as he walked into the interior, Wang Sancai found that the castle was well organized, and many details were even better than the ones made by the palace.
The old man seemed to intend to tie Wang Sancai with material things, and continued to introduce his castle along the way while telling the profound history of their Shangguan family. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had no rest all night, Wang Sancai felt that Shangguan Linggan would really tell him a day.
Finally, I came to the old man's private courtyard. In the courtyard was a banyan tree that was built like an umbrella, next to it was a circle of fresh grass and flowers. Two lounge chairs and a coffee table were placed in the inner circle. After he guided Wang Sancai to sit down, he whispered a few words in the servant's ear.
Wang Sancai didn't eavesdrop, and since he came, he was at ease. He lay comfortably on the recliner, half-squinted his eyes and enjoyed the early morning sunshine. The breath of grass came into his nose, and the melodious music of the band in the castle in the distance came from his ears. With the breeze blowing, Wang Sancai felt that he would fall asleep immediately.
"Haha, General Wang must have such a comfortable time on weekdays, right?" Shangguan Linggan smiled gently at Wang Sancai with his head tilted.
Wang Sancai opened his eyes and gave him a smile: "Almost never."
Shangguan Ling smiled even more gently, and then asked Wang Sancai many unpainable questions. He talked to Wang Sancai about some topics such as health preservation. Wang Sancai talked to him casually, and couldn't help but wonder what the old man was about him.
He did not explore his background in depth, and never mentioned his seventeen-year-old Hua Ji granddaughter, and San did not ask anything about cultivation and utilitarianism. It was like an old man next door chatting with his juniors kindly.
The more this happens, the more uneasy Wang Sancai feels, and he always feels like the tranquility before the storm.
Soon, the servant brought a fruit plate and a pot of tea. The old guy immediately smiled and said, "Let the tea be stuffy for a while. General Wang, please try the 'fire berries' from the edge of the fire continent."
Wang Sancai looked down and saw fruits like strawberries placed on the plate, but they were irregular triangles in shape, with some tiny fluff on the surface and dark red in color. If Shangguan Linggan hadn't said it was a fire berry, Wang Sancai really thought it was just an ordinary strawberry.
He pinched one while curious, and suddenly felt a warm feeling between his fingers. He was slightly shocked and put it into his mouth. In an instant, Wang Sancai felt a strong sense of warmth spread throughout his mouth, causing him to swallow it unconsciously. With the strong warmth spread throughout his body, Wang Sancai felt a sweet smell coming up.
"Hahaha, how?" Shangguan Linggan waved his hand and asked his servants to go down, and smiled at Wang Sancai: "This fire berries are extremely magical, especially in the snow and ice of our country like Li. Eating one can warm up for several hours. Unfortunately, the method of preserving fire berries is very harsh and produced very little, making it impossible to popularize it as a necessary ration for marching."
Wang Sancai tasted this warm and warm feeling and couldn't help but sigh: "This can only be enjoyed by people with such status as Lord Shangguan..."
Halfway through his words, Wang Sancai suddenly frowned because he saw a young woman in a long skirt walking in the distance. Her slightly curled long hair was obviously carefully taken care of, and she looked warm and cute with a goose yellow long skirt.
She walked to the court and said something to the two maids behind her, and saw them stop outside. Then, she walked slowly towards Wang Sancai.
Shangguan Linggan saw Wang Sancai frowning, but still smiled very gently. He lowered his eyes and pointed at the tea pot on the tea table: "General Wang, this tea is called 'Chunxiao'. It tastes sweet and mellow. After drinking a cup, it feels like springxiao is revived. It looks like we haven't slept all night, but if we drink such a small pot, it can also ensure that you are full of energy today. However, it not only has extremely strict requirements on the temperature of the brewing hot water, but also has strict standards for the technology of tea brewers. If it is too much, it will be bitter, but it will be light, haha..."
Speaking of this, the old man kept walking slowly from afar and smiled and said, "This is my little granddaughter I mentioned to you before. Oh, don't get me wrong. I called her here just to make tea for us. Don't underestimate her. Although she is only seventeen years old, she can't even catch up with the tea ceremony, hahaha..."
