However, the three of them did not buy it.
Seeing that the three people ignored him and ignored him without even turning their heads, Shen Xuanyu couldn't help feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
And just at this moment.
A carriage stopped behind the four people, and the familiar figure in official robes appeared again.
When Shen Xuanyu saw the person coming, he snorted coldly: "What are you pretending for? A concubine's son, you really think you are so important. Do you think that by wearing official uniform, you can win the favor of Qi Yanggong?"
Several people have been here these days.
But no one could really see Qi Yanggong, and Shen Yingnan was naturally no exception, so Shen Xuanyu curled his lips and said directly, not afraid of being heard by him at all. Anyway, he was now nominally the legitimate young master of the Shen family.
Much more noble than Shen Yingnan.
The most important thing is that this is his first time here, and he is confident that he can catch the eye of Duke Yang of Qi.
Think about this.
Shen Xuanyu didn't turn around and went inside with his servant.
As he passed Wang Xuan and the other three, he reminded them, "Young Masters, I heard that Duke Yang of Qi is a legitimate son and deeply hates his stepmother. I'm afraid Duke Yang of Qi hates people like this who aren't even considered illegitimate children, not to mention that his brother is a concubine's son. If you don't want to continue being left out in the cold today, you'd better stay away from this person."
After saying that, he went in.
The two young masters of the Song and Su families, who were originally stunned, looked down on Shen Xuanyu, but they also did not think much of Shen Yingnan.
A concubine's son is not a decent person in terms of status.
Even if he became an official now, he could not get rid of his inherently lowly status. In addition, Shen Xuanyu's words did make some sense, so the two of them turned around and entered the inn.
Only Wang Xuan was left there.
He was still smiling, holding a folding fan, fanning it intermittently. After Shen Yingnan approached, he closed the folding fan with both hands, bowed slightly, and saluted Shen Yingnan, saying: "Wang greets Lord Shen."
Shen Yingnan glanced at Wang Xuan and returned the greeting: “Master Wang, you’re welcome.”
“However, Master Wang is not afraid of being involved with this official and being disliked by Qi Yanggong?” Shen Yingnan naturally heard what Shen Xuanyu said just now, and did not miss the attitudes of the Su and Song families.
In fact, he doesn't care.
Those people were even less worthy of causing his emotions.
Wang Xuan looked at the rather youthful face of the young man, his eyes glint with shrewdness. He did not offer any grandiose excuses, but said directly, "Although Wang has no talent for learning, his eyes are quite bright and can see things clearly."
"That Duke Yang of Qi treats Lord Shen differently."
Although every time Shen Yingnan came, he was always left out in the cold like them, and he had never met Qi Yanggong, but those people obviously had more respect for Shen Yingnan.
Others might think that this might be because Shen Yingnan is an official.
But Wang Xuan felt that it was definitely more than that.
But he still didn't understand why, so he paid extra attention to him and even went so far as to "show goodwill" to him.
"Lord Shen is a man of great appearance and talent, with a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, which is enough to attract special attention. As for one's background, no one can choose it. Lord Shen has now reached a level where he can look down on those fools who only use their background as an excuse."
"However, I think Lord Shen is too disdainful to bother with them."
"Lord Shen is a man of great generosity."
Listening to Wang Xuan's 'friendly' words, Shen Yingnan did not show any emotion, his expression was indifferent from beginning to end, but this made Wang Xuan more determined in his guess.
Don't be surprised by honor and favor.
This is not something that everyone can do.
Thinking of this, Wang Xuan suddenly understood what attitude he should use to treat Shen Yingnan.
"Sir Shen, would you like to go together?" Wang Xuan asked.
Shen Yingnan did not refuse.
He knew Wang Xuan, a typical sophisticated and cunning businessman, but at the same time, the Wang family business he ran had a better reputation among the people than the other three families.
But more importantly, this Wang family was once under the command of King Yujiang.
However, after the Yujiang Wang family was destroyed, the Wang family used their accumulated wealth to jump out and continue to do their old business.
"I heard that Lady Yang of Qi is the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion in the capital. I wonder if Lord Shen has ever met Lady Yang of Qi while he was in the capital?" Wang Xuan asked tentatively, but his expression was sincere. "I don't mean any harm, I just haven't been able to meet Lady Yang of Qi, and I'm really curious about what she looks like."
"I heard that Duke Yang of Qi was extremely beautiful, a cold and stunning beauty."
"It's a pity that I didn't go to greet him at the city gate that day, and missed the opportunity to admire the elegance of Duke Yang of Qi."
He used the word "admiration" to reverse his "frivolous" words.
Shen Yingnan glanced at him, pretending not to know his temptation, and replied: “You will know soon.”
soon?
Wang Xuan caught sight of these two words, and a glimmer flashed in his eyes.
The two entered the inn together.
As expected, we were not even allowed to go to the second floor this time. We were just provided with stools and refreshments on the first floor.
Seeing Shen Xuanyu coming in together, he curled his lips.
Su and Song raised their eyebrows slightly, then concealed the contempt and sneer in their eyes. It was obvious that they looked down on Wang Xuan, a fence-sitter.
"Young Masters, are you still drinking the same tea?"
Xiaohong, now dressed much better, asked the people present with a smile. These days, she had been "entertaining" these visitors on behalf of Duke Yang of Qi, so everyone naturally thought she was someone close to Duke Yang of Qi.
During this period, she has used this method to facilitate her affairs.
I have secretly done several important things for my master, and now the main ones are these four big families.
"Just the same as last time."
"Auntie Hong, you don't have to work hard. Just leave this matter to my servant." After Master Su said this, he gave a look to the servant behind him, and the servant immediately smiled and went to the backyard.
But before he could leave the hall, he was stopped by the guards.
Xiao Hong smiled and said, "My lady doesn't like people making noise, so the guards are a little nervous. It's okay, you are all my lady's guests. I'll make tea for you."
"How can I trouble Aunt Hong?"
Shen Xuanyu also spoke with a smile at this time.
Before he came, he had heard Shen Pinglong remind him that Aunt Hong was the most trusted person around Qi Yanggong and he had to win her over. So he personally stood up, grabbed her hand, and secretly stuffed a thick stack of banknotes into her hand...
Xiaohong looked down at the banknotes in her hand, and her eyes lit up slightly.
I only found out when I came to Yujiang.
The silver notes here start from one hundred or one thousand taels.
