As the night wore on, the prince returned home. Perhaps because he had stayed at the patriarch's house for a whole day, Wang Chang was quite expectant of the result of his trip, and when he heard that the servants and maidservants had reported that his house was coming, he got up and stayed to meet him barefoot. Seeing this, Xiao Yang's smile on his face almost couldn't hold back. As for Wang Ziling, Wang Zimu and others, they also have their own expectations, and their expressions are completely different.

"Dalang, how's it going?" Wang Chang couldn't wait for his eldest son to bow gracefully, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and asked again and again, "Can the patriarch promise to speak for his father?" He's always been stubborn, and it's not easy to talk to, but my son has always been quick-witted, and he must be—"

Since childhood, the prince, who has never received a "my son" from him, lowered his eyes and hid the sneer floating in his eyes. Perhaps, only at this time, will he have his eldest son in his eyes. He was about to answer, when he heard Xiao Yang also chase after him: "What Da Lang brought back must be good news." The patriarch had always valued him, otherwise he would not have been kept all day. Da Lang, tell me, how did the patriarch agree? ”

Her words were full of nervousness and hope, and she sounded more concerned about the success of the trip than Wang Chang. Such an eager attitude seemed to have touched Wang Chang a little, and he couldn't help but glance at her, his expression softened a lot, and Fang asked again: "My son, you just say it directly, what is the patriarch's attitude?" ”

Wang Zixian naturally knew what news Xiao Yang wanted to hear, and the impetus in his words was only for the more exaggerated loss and blame that followed. However, it is better to teach her to be disappointed, how can he be so wrong at such a critical juncture? So, he raised his head and smiled slightly: "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." From the grandfather's promise, two days later, he personally took his grandfather to see the state capital Gongcao. At that time, it is best for Grandpa to prepare more gifts as a gift for the New Year. ”

"Haha! Worthy of me! Sure enough, only you can solve problems for your father! Wang Chang was ecstatic, laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "As for the gift, naturally I don't need to remind him!" I wanted to send it before, but I couldn't get it; Now that it can be sent, how can you snub the gongcao? It is worth picking out all the good things in the warehouse!! In the future, if your father is promoted, he will soon be able to earn all these back! ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yang's face faded with blood in an instant, and he finally squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Da Lang is indeed capable, I expected that this trip will definitely be able to impress the patriarch." Ah Lang, this kid has been working hard all day, so let him go back to the yard to rest early. ”

Today is simply a series of defeats, not only did she lose Wang Chang's favor for a while, but the treasury was also partially empty, and it was already heartbreaking. I can't imagine that in the future, she will have to give up her beloved things that have been treasured in the treasury for a long time! Now, how can she be in any mood to look at Wang Zixian's face that resembles the Da Yang family? I wish I could have sent him away earlier, and even cursed him why he hadn't died outside!

"Thank you mother, for your care." The prince bent his lips and smiled, and Shi Shiran retired and left. Ever since he sent Qingsu to Chang'an West City to buy New Year's gifts, he never thought of letting Xiao Yang's get any benefits from it. That cart of gifts was originally what he planned to give to the patriarch in the name of honoring his parents. Not only has he gained fame, but he has also become a little closer to the patriarch, killing two birds with one stone, why not? - Even if Wang Chang doesn't mention begging the patriarch, he will definitely make him think of it. Unexpectedly, it would be even more unexpected to make this foolish man and stupid woman quarrel between the two later.

Heh, next, Xiao Yang's flesh and bloodletting still have a lot of time, she should have gotten used to it earlier. After giving a heavy gift, there seems to be some hope, and then there is another disappointment, and after this cycle repeats, what thoughts will they have? After spending hundreds of dollars, there is still no hope of reinstatement, what kind of disputes should arise between them? What's more, if this continues, the family will not be able to make ends meet sooner or later, and the Zhuangzi shops in A-Niang's dowry that were occupied by Xiao Yang's family will have a chance to return to his hands again.

Just thinking about how lively it will be in the future is enough to be enjoyable.

This year, he should be able to reliably amuse himself about it. I hope Wang Chang and Xiao Yang don't disappoint him. If you tell Ah Hui about these things in the future, it is always good to have more fun. Come to think of it, Ah Hui will also feel proud for him? As for the gentleman's business, we have to wait for a good time to reveal it. Moreover, since he could not cause any trouble to his husband, he could not be given some more restraints.

Just when Wang Langjun was self-reliant, looking for fun in a home full of hypocrisy and calculation, Mr. Song finally ushered in the Fujiyuan meeting he presided over. With Li Da and Ah Liu in charge, he only needs to send out a post and make sure to enjoy the snow and cook tea in the garden. As for the food list of the banquet, the arrangement of the obstacles, as well as the food table, the book case, the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and various amusements, etc., were all silently completed by the servants and maids of the vine garden.

Because they were all close friends, Mr. Song did not go to the door to greet them, but waited for them to arrive one after another, and then took them to wander in the vine garden. Between the words, of course, the three sentences did not leave his filial piety, and he did everything in his power to praise, so that a group of old children quickly turned from envy and jealousy to anger and argued with him.

Mr. Song couldn't stand alone, and he didn't have an apprentice by his side to earn face for him in time, so he couldn't help but say angrily: "I invited you to the banquet with good intentions, but you can't even tolerate the old man's praise for a few words of love and apprenticeship!" It's all cautious! Bringing a group of apprentices, is the apprentice who bullied the old man not around?! Hmph, when he comes back after the New Year, I will have to lead him to your dwellings one by one!! ”

"Hey, what do you mean by that?" An old gentleman next to him said, "Could it be that he came to the door to mock us?" Say we're careful, you're narrow-minded! No, the old man has to persuade your apprentice - it's still too late to change to a famous teacher, if you are crooked in the future, you will have nowhere to sue if you are wronged! ”

"Okay, you old man, you still dare to rob my apprentices? It's just brazen! ”

A group of young gentlemen next to him watched the gentlemen fight for red faces, and they couldn't bear to look at them, hiding their faces and being silent. And the servants and maids of the vine garden who stood far away saw it, and they all had a little smile in their eyes. Ah Liu walked through the corridor, pursed his lips and smiled: "It's rare for the vine garden to be so lively, don't just care about the stupid music." Later, Lang Jun will come over, if I see you being careless, there will be no such leisurely good days in the future. ”

When the servants and maids heard this, they scattered in all directions, and they went about their own business, and they became more and more cautious and careful in their actions. Ah Liu nodded with satisfaction, rolled up his sleeves, came to the gate of the vine garden, and waited quietly. In a short time, a wide ox cart drove by, the body was made of fine red sandalwood, and two plain lanterns hung from the front, without any emblems. There were only a few ordinarily dressed subordinates around the ox cart, and it looked like an ordinary rich family.

After the ox cart stopped, a handsome little man of thirteen or fourteen years old came down. He smiled at Ah Liu, and then turned back to help another middle-aged man with round flesh and trembling. Although one is fat and one is thin, the father and son both have uplifted phoenix eyes, and they look quite similar. Passers-by glanced at them casually, but they didn't pay attention to them, and hurried past. There were also some people who had been following behind the father and son, looking at this exquisite three-entry small courtyard with great interest, and they didn't care very much.

Aliu welcomed the father and son in, and retired to the kitchen halfway. Seeing that there was no one to guide him, His Royal Highness King Pu, who pretended to be "Li San", muttered: "There is no one in charge in this courtyard? The hospitality is so lazy. "He has always hugged each other when he travels, and where has he ever been snubbed like this, he feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"The temperament of Mr. Song and those old gentlemen, isn't Grandpa still clear? They are probably full of only thinking about holding a cultural meeting, but as for other details, they have never thought of it. Moreover, they do everything they want and don't care about red tape, isn't that why Grandpa is willing to make friends with them? As the son of "Li San", "Li Sanlangjun", his filial son Li Hui naturally did not miss it after hearing the news of this literary meeting.

He has always been worried that his grandfather has been led by ill-intentioned people to embark on the crooked path of seeking fame and profit, so even he was a little worried about always going to Hongwen Hall before. Now I have the opportunity to meet these old men who are like hermits, which may also be an opportunity for Grandpa to get out of the grief of his grandmother's death, and it will make Grandpa no longer lonely and unaccompanied in the future. However, he still has to take a closer look to see if Grandpa and these old gentlemen are really compatible.

If you think about it carefully, if these old gentlemen are innocent people, and someone comes to befriend them with bad intentions in the future, I am afraid that they will all be deceived. It is necessary to remind the prince Xian and let him pay attention. Among the disciples of the other old gentlemen, there must be no shortage of smart people, who help each other, which can be regarded as a continuation of the friendship of the masters.

Li Hui is very familiar with the vine garden, even if there is no one to guide him, he can take his grandfather to visit various scenery and tell the story. His Royal Highness King Pu bowed his head again and again, and then suddenly showed a strange look: "Have you been here?" How can it be like the master's house, and every place is like a treasure? ”

"Didn't the child tell Grandpa and buy a small yard as a separate residence?" Li Hui replied, "This is the child's other residence, if Grandpa thinks the scenery is good, he can come and take a walk at any time." When to let A-Niang also come to live for a while, Brother and Sister-in-law can also change their residence and bring their little niece to spend their leisure time. However, this place is a bit small and can only entertain our own families. Moreover, if only we know about it, it will be more peaceful. ”

"You don't want anyone else to know? It's okay, in such a small courtyard, although the scenery is acceptable, but there is no table. His Royal Highness King Pu said, "Even if I want to praise you for your good vision, I can't praise it." On weekdays, it is suitable to lend it to the prince to dedicate his residence, or to lend it to Mr. Song for a meeting. However, if you want to spend the summer in idleness, you should buy a large mansion with five entrances, which sounds more comfortable and spacious. "In the eyes of His Royal Highness King Pu, the big mansions that are not five or seven are not worthy of their identity and vision. As for such a small house, there is only one benefit left, "freshness".

"......" Li Hui was speechless for a while, so he simply took him directly to the garden, "I think the gentlemen have already arrived, let's go over too." "His grandfather doesn't want to think about it, how long can they stay in Chang'an? What is the use of buying a mansion with five or seven entrances? Isn't it possible to leave it idle?

Mr. Song in the garden is still fighting with his friends. Suddenly, an old gentleman looked behind him and said in surprise: "Li San is finally here." That young man, should he be his son? Father and son are born somewhat similar. Hey, but where does his son, the old man, seem to have seen it? Last time he bowed to the teacher, he should have come too, right? ”

Li San? Boy? Mr. Song suddenly had a slight foreboding in his heart, and looked back-

Li Hui smiled at him, his handsome face seemed to be shining, which was very eye-catching. And the chubby man beside him also struggled to squeeze out a smile, and struggled to move his body like a mountain of meat.

Hehe, I should have known that His Royal Highness King Pu, who was rumored to like to befriend scribes, would not have missed this opportunity. Mr. Song thought to himself: After all, he is the master of the future Jiadi head, and he can't help but pay attention to some images - is it too late to pretend to be a master and a famous person now, be more reserved, and stop arguing with this group of old guys?
