183.Chapter 183
When the old Fu Mother Arnold saw Wang Luoniang, the kind smile on her face disappeared in an instant. For no other reason, Wang Luoniang was born too similar to Xiao Yang when she was young, but there was no sense of pity and weakness in her smile, but she was extremely quiet. She sighed in her heart, and after placing Wang Luoniang properly, she put away the two sets of head and face jewelry sent by the Xishi store.
"In the future, Luo Niang and Xiang Niang will be educated by their mothers." Wang Zixian smiled slightly, "That poisonous woman neglected to teach them, and they only learned what they should learn." Not to mention, how women in the family behave in the world, how to judge the situation, and how to take care of economic affairs are all things they should learn. "As for things like independence and self-control, there should be no need to learn it. His two younger sisters are by no means silky flowers, and he is very relieved of their decisiveness at the moment.
Arnold couldn't help but shake his head: "Since the old slave promised to come, he knows what to do." Rest assured, the poisonous woman has already got the fate she deserves, and the old slave will not be angry with her children born later. "As for Wang Ziling, he was once used by the Xiao Yang clan as a weapon against the Da Yang clan, but it was rotten from the roots, and it was retribution to end up in the current situation.
The prince helped the old man and came to the treasury opened up in the back of the main courtyard. However, in just a few days, a lot of good things have accumulated in the originally empty warehouse. Half of the Thai are the clothes, ornaments, pen, ink, paper, inkstones, ornaments and other items he used, and the other half is a gift that he bought back and packed in a finely carved wooden box. In addition, the things used by the ladies also accumulated more than 20 cages in bits and pieces.
The old Fu mother carefully looked at the two sets of heads he had newly bought: "Xiao Langjun, you, you seem to be a little alienated from them, but you are actually very taken care of." The old slave had never seen the men of the Yang family buy any head and face jewelry for their female dependents, or bring some other things. Moreover, these jewels are full of water and spend a lot of money, right? Even if she is a lady, there were only two sets of such good faces back then. That's still a good thing for your grandmother to press the bottom of the box. β
"It's just a dowry for them, and it's not much to take care of. Moreover, these two sets of heads and noodles are used for them to press the box, so that they will not have no suitable jewelry to wear in the future, but will fall into the name of the Wang family. In my opinion, instead of hoarding head and face jewelry for them, it is more cost-effective to buy some Zhuangzi shop pΓΉ. The prince said.
He's actually a cold-hearted person. For the person who really cares about it, it is to let him do his best or even give up his life to protect it, and he is also willing. And the remaining two younger sisters are more like an unfulfilled responsibility for him, at most with a pity or two.
"The second lady is still young, and she mentioned the marriage a little early. The eldest lady has reached the end of her life, and it is time for the past two years to look at each other. Arnold continued, "However, Xiao Langjun is just the eldest brother in the end. If there is no suitable candidate, let the elders help make the decision. lest the little brotherhood and sister you have left will be worn out in the future because of these things. β
"Mother Fu, don't worry, I already have a plan." The prince comforted her.
The old Fu mother stared at him, and sighed again: "Lang Jun has planned well for them, why is his marriage not important at all?" Could it be true that you want to let the Hongnong County Gong be the matchmaker? Didn't saints also have to be matchmakers before? The old slave felt that instead of marrying the daughter of the Yang family or the daughter of the Yang family, it was better to marry the county lord of the clan. β
"Mother Fu, I already have a beloved, and sooner or later I will marry him home." Wang Zixian hooked the corners of his mouth, and without waiting for the old Fu Mother to react, he turned around and left.
He still has a literary meeting for the new scholars to go to today, and by the way, he can also ask them what they have done. Some of these new recruits had always been good friends with him, and two or three others had shown him kindness. As for whether they will part ways in the future or continue to go together, they will look at each other's eyes and choices.
The meeting was held at a Taoist temple in the nearby Lifang. Everyone wore Taoist robes, sat under the shade of the willows by the small pond, drank and admired the lotus, but they were also quite comfortable. In addition to Wang Zixian, Cheng Wei, who is also a Jiadi Jinshi and one of the flower explorers, has the most people around him. The two of them have a tendency to fight against each other, which makes many people who want to be left and right quite embarrassed. However, when Yan Balang brought some students from Guozixue and Taixue to join in the fun, Wang Xiangtou's momentum was far more than comparable.
After chatting for a while, the prince got up and traveled with Yan Balang and the others to this small Taoist temple. Before they knew it, they were all separated, and the prince took a detour for a few distances, asked the little Taoist boy who was cleaning the courtyard nearby, and then pushed open a squatter house and went in to rest. However, there was already someone in the dormitory - Sun Rong looked back and just offered him the fried fragrant tea to taste.
"It's worthy of being a person who started a tea business, and even the tea that comes out of it looks good." The prince praised it with a smile, and then mentioned the matter of the Western Regions trade route, "I wanted to do the Western Regions trade route before, but I couldn't compete with those Sogdian Hu merchants, so I can only give up for the time being." Now if you think about it, whether you want to borrow the connections of those Hu merchants or the momentum of other people, you have to slowly build this trade route. Profit is still secondary, and listening to the news is the most important. β
"Ah Lang, we still have Princess Changning's post in our hands. This is now the hottest noble lord, and those Hu merchants have no way to pay homage to her-" Sun Rong couldn't help but get excited when he mentioned the trade route, "If I am willing to pull the strings for them, I think they will willingly give me a profit or two." β
"No, you can't borrow the name of Princess Changning when you travel to and from the Western Regions." The prince thought for a moment, "I'll discuss with Xuan Qi first, and then determine whose post to borrow." β
At first, Sun Rong was still a little puzzled. But if you think about it carefully, his own Lang Jun is already a person who is already a princess of Changning on the face, if he makes it clear that he is also a princess of Changning, how can he make those hostile people let down their guard? The most important thing to go to the Western Regions is to find out the news, if the other party is cautious enough, they will only get fake news, and they will never be able to gain trust. As for profit, it is secondary...... But why is it that just thinking like this inevitably leads to some loss in my heart?
"You're really getting into the money hole." Seeing that there was unconcealed regret in his expression, Wang Zixian couldn't help but smile and said, "Today's family wealth is more than thousands of gold, don't you think it's enough?" "Even in Chang'an City, the two brothers and sisters of Sun Rong can be regarded as a rich family. Although it is still not as good as those wealthy businessmen who have been in business for many years, it will only take a few years to surpass them.
"Not enough, not enough." Sun Rong said frankly, "When I was a child, I was afraid of poverty...... Alas...... In the future, I would like to build a golden house so that Ah Lang can live in it. β
"......" Wang Zixian suddenly felt that it was time for him, the most trusted subordinate, to read the history books.
made such a grand vow, but failed to move his own Ah Lang, Sun Rong was full of doubts and regrets, and reluctantly left. The two of them rarely see each other, and Sun Jinniang has grown into a big lady, and she is a little reluctant to dress up as a young man, and it is extremely difficult to meet. However, these days, there are more frequent private correspondences than ever before.
The prince rested in this hut for a while before returning to the small pond. Xu is because he is not there, there are more people around Cheng Wei, and this new school scrivener is also very calm to talk and laugh with everyone. Seeing him return, he took the initiative to sit down and greeted him very cordially.
As if inadvertently, Cheng Wei said: "In two days, Yang Xiangtou is going to hold a small literary meeting, will Zixian go?" β
"Wenhui?" The prince groaned for a moment and said with a smile, "I haven't received my cousin's post yet, maybe my cousin has his own plans." β
Cheng Wei had already heard that he and the Yang family were distant relatives, and he was a little surprised when he heard the words: "The posts have been sent one after another, and they have not yet been delivered." Then he stopped talking about it and talked about something else. When the rumors were raging a few years ago, he also lived in the vine garden for a few days, and the two were not actually estranged or close.
At the end of the meeting, the prince returned to the vine garden. Originally, he thought that Mr. Song should also come back with He Cheng, but he never thought that neither of them had returned. However, the porter reported that a Du Langjun had just come over and was waiting for him in the study in the outer courtyard. When it comes to Du Langjun, the only thing he knows is Du Chongfeng.
After Wang Zimu became a monk, Du Chongfeng was quite depressed for a while, and it is said that he did not come out of the Yang family's courtyard for a long time. Later, he finally figured it out, and gradually returned to his old life. Moreover, like Wang Xiangniang, he often goes to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to see Yuanwu, who has become a monk. Unlike Wang Xiangniang, who firmly wanted to persuade Yuanwu to return to the world, he came to discuss Buddhism with Yuanwu. After going back and forth, the friendship between the two was a little deeper than before.
For this Du Shishilang, Wang Zixian and Li Hui have extremely high evaluations. They all felt that he was the most talented disciple of Mr. Zhou, and his heart was also the best polished, but he lacked some fame and fortune. But for those who want to get ahead, perhaps the pursuit of fame and fortune is the most important, and talent is secondary. Therefore, in the eyes of the Yang family and Mr. Zhou, his heart lacks an "enterprising" heart.
If he does not participate in the imperial examination, he will not be able to give the Yang family any help. Three years and five years are acceptable, and after ten or eight years have passed, will the Yang family and Mr. Zhou still let him live so idle? No matter what choice he makes in the end, as long as he stays in the Yang family, he will become an enemy sooner or later. After all, Yang Qian is his senior brother, and the Yang family is also his bole and benefactor who protects him, and he will never betray his master.
Because of this, he has always been close to Li Hui, and Li Hui has never let down his guard against him - as for Wang Zixian, after finding that he was extremely kind to Li Hui, he became even more jealous.
Because of this estrangement, the two of them rarely interacted in private. But I don't know what Du Chongfeng is here for?
The handsome young man sitting upright in the study did not take a detour, and said very directly: "Yang Shangshu wants to marry Yang Banniang to you, but Senior Brother Yang wants to marry her to me-I have no interest in her, why don't you marry her?" is close to each other, and she is the young daughter of the county prince, with a rich dowry, which can be called a rare good marriage. β
At this moment, the prince felt a strong urge to whip him out, and then drive him out of the door like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
