Chapter 118: Be careful
There are four major families in Zedu City, among which the Wang family is the head, the Wu family and the Tong family in the middle are tied together, and the Nangong family is at the end, but there are not many soldiers, and the Nangong family is most praised for the fact that his family has the most readers, and the number of people and talents in his family is three times that of all the other three families and the sum of the talents.
The Wang family is the largest, but the degree of good and bad is also the most criticized.
Especially the ancestor of his family, when he was young, he was the most wise, wise and brave person, but he didn't expect that when people got old, they would become nonsense, and they had no principles to protect their shortcomings, and they were old fools.
Among the sons and daughters of the Wang family, the youngest son of the seventh room is the most arrogant and willful, but he is tall and handsome, and many young girls in Zedu City are deceived by his appearance, and take him as the target of the ideal husband.
It's just that the other three major families all know the details and have never included him in the list of candidates for marriage, which makes the Wang family very unfair, of course, the only thing that is unfair is the ancestor who spoiled him to heaven, and the ancestors of the other houses, brothers and sisters of the same generation, but he is not so friendly.
Each family has a limited amount of resources to give to its juniors, and when one of them monopolizes most of the resources, it will inevitably lead to other resentments and hatred against him.
Wang Kai is the one who is hated by all his peers. As a young son, Wang Kai is the one that his parents love the most, he looks good, his mouth is sweet, and his grandparents also spoil him very much because he looks the most similar to his youngest son, not to mention the old ancestor, who is afraid of falling in the palm of his hand for this great-grandson, and is afraid of melting in his mouth.
If Wang Kai is a talented person who can match his degree of favor, then forget it, but this is a dou who can't be helped.
Since he was a child, how many famous teachers have been invited to teach him his homework, and every time he always sees Mr. for the first time in the morning, and then, there is no more! Every gentleman brushes his sleeves away before lunch, and comes and goes, until in the end, even the surrounding state capitals know the reputation of the Wang family!
The ancestors of the Wang family are worried! This child is twenty-five years old, and he hasn't married a wife yet!
In the past, he was young, and he could say that he was not in a hurry, but when he was older and sensible, there would always be someone who was willing to marry his daughter to him. But now that he is twenty-five years old and can't marry a wife, this is a bit embarrassing!
Among the four major families, the eldest grandson of the head of the Wu family is also twenty-four years old and has not yet married, but there is no way for people, the first fiancée has passed away one after another because of her parents and grandparents, she has to keep her filial piety, and the filial piety period is calculated down, at least for six years, the Wu family is waiting for the eldest grandson to marry and hug her great-grandson, how can she wait for her!
So the two families agreed to cancel the marriage.
It didn't take long for the eldest young master of the Wu family to get engaged again, this time, it was the girl who hung up! However, some people said that his fiancée eloped with someone and did not die at all, but for the sake of the reputation of the two families, especially the reputation of the woman, he could only claim that the woman was dead.
It can be regarded as putting an end to the other party's family, and repeatedly taking her sister's proposal.
Now that they have finally hired a third fiancée, the Wu family is afraid that there will be many good things, and they will get married in less than two months after the engagement.
But at present, it seems that it should be possible to get married smoothly.
Wang Kai is one year older than him, and the choice of wife has not yet been decided!
Not to mention that the Wang family is in a hurry, Wang Kai himself is also in a hurry! But no matter how anxious he is, if someone has a daughter, he just doesn't give him his daughter, what can he do to people? No!
With the status of the Wang family in Zedu City, and the degree to which Wang Kai is favored in the Wang family, in fact, he really doesn't worry about marrying, as long as he doesn't care about the woman's family background and appearance, he can actually marry more than ten or twenty wives when he just turns fifteen.
The problem is, with the status of the Wang family and the degree to which he is favored, it is naturally impossible for him to give in.
He wants to marry, and he also wants to marry the daughters of the other three major families.
He doesn't want a concubine, he just wants a concubine.
He, Wang Kai, also has requirements for the choice of wife, unlike the brothers and sisters in the family who watched his jokes, as long as it is a woman and is willing to marry, he will marry, and he also has pursuits.
The concubine of the Tong family, beauty is beautiful! But she is a concubine, her vision is not good, and no matter how beautiful she looks, she is not in his choice.
The sister-in-law of the concubine barely got his request, but it was a pity that she was a gentle woman with no personality, like a white open, tasteless.
In fact, what he wants to marry the most is the choking pepper of the Nangong family, but the Nangong family's eyes are above the top, not to mention that his reputation of not learning and not knowing how to do it is enough for the Nangong family to use this as an excuse to refuse.
Just as he was about to agree to the wishes of his ancestors to marry the niece and great-granddaughter of his great-grandmother's family, someone suddenly quietly sent him a letter, saying that as long as he did what the letter said, he could marry the woman he wanted to marry.
How is this possible?
I heard that she fell in love with the Imperial Guard Commander from the capital! With the methods of the Nangong family, I believe that she will be able to get her wish.
Before he could think about it, he heard again that the son of Marquis Li was the son-in-law of Miss Nangong.
As soon as Wang Kai heard this, his whole body was going crazy! How could it be? This youngest son of Marquis Li was a man from the rivers and lakes, and when he heard that he was sold by his grandmother to the land of fireworks when he was a child, how could she take a fancy to him? Even if his father was the Hou Ye, so what, he still had two elder brothers in front of him, and the eldest brother was a scholar who had to be used by the emperor.
What is that Li Lingxi? Can a Jianghu man be better than himself?
In fact, objectively speaking, in terms of family history, the ancestors of the Li family are the descendants of the virtuous prince of the Tiansheng Empire in the former dynasty, and the ancestors of the Wang family have only been around for five generations...... Defeated.
Wang Kai is very confident in his appearance, but if Miss Nangong can take a fancy to her, Li Lingxi's appearance is definitely not bad.
As for the Four Books and the Five Classics...... Although Wang Kai is a gentleman, he was enlightened at the age of seven, and although he was not admitted to Xiucai, he is also literate anyway, not blind.
When Li Lingxi was sold by his grandmother, he seemed to be less than ten years old, but I heard that his father was left by his grandmother, and when he was sold, he must not have read or written.
Wang Kai, as a gentleman, knows how to protect himself very well, and if he doesn't inquire about the details of his opponent's origins, he will not easily join the battlefield.
Therefore, he sent someone to inquire about Li Lingxi and the commander, and the little guy scratched his head, "Young Master Kai, what do you want?"
"How much can you look up and how much is it. After a pause, he said, "We don't have to worry about money, they are willing, they can smash as much as they can, and they can dig as much as they can." ”
The little guy agreed, and Wang Kai saw that he was still staying in front of him and didn't leave, so he couldn't help kicking him unhappily, "Don't you go to work yet, the pestle is quite a corpse here?"
"No, no. The little guy covered his buttocks, which had been kicked three times, and said with a red face, "The little one wants to ask the young master, can I take the money to Fengjiazhuang to buy news?"
"Huh, Fengjiazhuang, why didn't I think of it!" Wang Kai sneered, "It's still your kid who is clever! Yes, go to Fengjiazhuang to buy news, and don't forget to get close to the guards, maybe I can find out from them something that even Fengjiazhuang doesn't know!"
The little guy hurriedly agreed, rubbing his hands and asking, "Young master, although you don't have to worry about using the money, the little ones don't have much money. "I have to go to get close to the guards, and I have to go to Fengjiazhuang to buy news, this money is definitely not enough.
Wang Kai waved his hand and generously threw five hundred taels of silver tickets to the little guy, "That's enough! Hurry up and inquire clearly to report. ”
The little guy said yes, turned around and ran out.
When Feng Gongzi received the news that someone wanted to buy the Imperial Guard Commander and Li Lingxi, he couldn't help but be stunned, "I didn't expect that someone would come to buy the news of the two of them." ”
Feng Er Gongzi shook his head with a smile, "I also think that these people's reactions are very slow, when they were in Quanliu City, no one thought that they could buy news from us." ”
Feng Gongzi bowed his jaw, "It can be seen that we have been too lax recently, and we have to give them tight skin." "You must know that although Fengjiazhuang has a lot of business, but the most important thing is to buy and sell news, if the world wants to know what news, but can't remember to buy news from them Fengjiazhuang, then Fengjiazhuang does not have to exist.
"It's time to tighten their skins. "Guests have needs, knowing that there is Fengjiazhuang to buy news, but they have not come to the door for a long time, do they question their ability?
After Feng Er Gongzi finished speaking, he suddenly asked again, "Then what should we ......do about this prince's business?"
Feng Gongzi smiled, "Let's go and find out why he bought the news of these two people first! Li San and the Lord Commander are both men, what does Wang Gongzi want to do when a man buys the news of the two of them? This has to be checked first, and when it is understood, it will not be too late." ”
The digital sons reacted quickly, and the two masters showed a little letter, they knew what to do, and after a while, they sent Wang Kai's reason for buying the news, as well as all the data he had since he was a child.
Feng Er Gongzi was slightly surprised when he saw the thick stack, but he didn't show it, and only smiled with satisfaction at the number boy who came back to life.
The corners of the digital child's mouth curled slightly, and after seeing Feng Gongzi nodding at him to show satisfaction, he turned around and left.
Feng Er Gongzi had already buried his head in the stack of data, and after a while, he laughed and said, "It turned out that Miss Nangong Er caused the trouble!
"Who else could there be?" Feng Gongzi smiled, "It should be the two brothers of the eldest young master of the Tong family!"
Feng Er Gongzi thought about it and nodded in agreement, it should indeed be the two of them, even if Mrs. Tong and Miss Tong wanted, their manpower didn't have a chance, but they just ......, "This means that Miss Tong hopes to promote the marriage of Nangong Second Miss and Wang Kai?"
"Who knows. However, Miss Tong's mother and daughter seem to have fallen in love with Li San. Feng Gongzi knew that Li Qianqian was displeased with this.
Feng Er Gongzi smiled for a long time, "Isn't Li San interested in his old department?"
"Even you can see it, do you think you can't see it shallowly?"
"And she's happy to see it happen?"
"It should be!" Feng Gongzi waved his hand disapprerovingly, still immersed in studying Wang Kai's life information.
Feng Er Gongzi said, "If Marquis Li wants to pass on the title to him in the future, then he will marry a former killer as his wife, and it will not work." ”
Feng Gongzi asked rhetorically, "Do you think he cares? What kind of title is not a title, the person who cares about it is never a shallow family." "What they care about is Lord Li, well, they don't care much now, because even if they don't have titles, they are on an equal footing with these dignitaries.
"That's why I've never liked to stay in the capital. Feng Er Gongzi sighed. Fengjiazhuang moved out of the capital, he was very happy, and he would no longer have to deal with those so-called nobles in the capital in the future.
"Although Wang Kai is a gentleman, but looking at his life, strictly speaking, he didn't do anything too out of the ordinary, if he really wants to say anything, it's just a fight for a position in a restaurant, someone came to provoke him, he didn't flinch but rose to the challenge, even if the poetry and song can't compare to people, and he can't take the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he also honestly admits defeat and never cheats.
"There are many people like him in Beijing, but no one is as famous as him. After reading a few pages of deeds, Feng Er Gongzi couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Feng Gongzi shook his head and sighed, "To put it bluntly, it's just that the brothers and sisters in the family are jealous of him for being favored! Deliberately talk about what he did, so as to provoke the dissatisfaction of the elders against him, and make them very disappointed! So he intensified and demonized him!"
"Second brother, look, here, it turns out that his marriage is so difficult because of the result of the three-way wrestling. "Great-grandmother and grandmother both want him to marry his mother's family, and his own mother is no exception, and the status of the Wang family in Zedu City makes them a sweet and sweet spot in their mother's family.
They hope that their mother's family can have a closer relationship with the Wang family, and the best way is to marry, strengthen the bond of in-laws, and ensure that their mother's family can still benefit from the Wang family even if they pass away in the future.
The reputation spread to him by Wang Kai's brothers and sisters just gave the elders a good excuse to delay Wang Kai's marriage.
"Doesn't he know himself?" Feng Er Gongzi was puzzled.
Feng Gongzi thought thoughtfully, "Do you think he can see through this with his?"
Feng Er Gongzi shook his head, "It seems that this matter will not only allow him to get his wish, but it may also be the only chance for him to marry a wife in the gap between these three wrestling." ”
Although he didn't want to get married, but seeing that Wang Kai, who hated to marry and didn't know about his marriage, was wrestled with by the elders who loved him, Feng Ergongzi suddenly felt sympathy for this guy who was held in the palm of his hand by the elders.
Does this kind of love really love him? Or is their love for Wang Kai just a reward for his marriage and lifelong happiness!
"Why do you suddenly want to cry for him?" Feng Er Gongzi felt a slight sour nose.
Feng Gongzi looked at his brother with defensive eyes. "Brother, don't be funny! He's a big man, he will only obey his elders in everything, and he doesn't have any ideas of his own, fortunately, he can't see through the thoughts of the elders in his family, otherwise once he has his own ideas, he starts to want to resist, do you think he can hold on to the wall with his muddy appearance, and he can last a few days before bowing his head to the family?"
Feng Er Gongzi had never tried to think about it from this angle, and he touched his chin thoughtfully when he heard the words.
With his coarse temperament, he probably won't be able to find out what his parents think for the rest of his life. But it's okay to see it too clearly, and it's uncomfortable to think too much about it. ”
Feng Gongzi smiled, "But if he marries Second Miss Nangong, will those three hopes be disappointed, will they get into trouble with Second Miss Nangong?"
"Who cares about him!" Feng Er Gongzi said angrily, "You don't want to help him, do you?" Seeing Feng Gongzi's eager appearance, Feng Er Gongzi couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You've been getting more and more bored lately! ”
Feng Gongzi held the cup and said, "Aren't I trying to protect my brother-in-law's innocence? Second Miss Tong's mother and daughter are planning to drug the commander! ”
Feng Er Gongzi looked at his younger brother and saw that Feng Gongzi's heart began to hair, "What's wrong?"
"I think you have to be careful, otherwise what if they change their minds and you make a move on you?"
