Chapter 14: The Wang Family

Zhumen mansion, brocade gilt, carriage stopped at the door, as soon as Wang Sheng entered the house, the family informed him that Mrs. Zhuo was waiting for him in the study.

His heart sank, and he walked towards the study.

The atmosphere in the study room is strict, an elderly lady sits in the first seat, and a tea cup wafts with mist, bringing out the fragrance of tea.

"Mother, there are people in the cloth village today with inferior silk cloth to make trouble, the cloth method and the cloth village is seventy percent similar, if not familiar with the internal process of the people are afraid will not be so easy to imitate, Wang Jia cloth village out of the black-hearted mouse, I always have a heart up and down."

A middle-aged man showed a sorrow between his eyebrows, and his index finger unconsciously rubbed his jade wrench finger to tell the sorrow.

The old lady didn't hurry to speak when she heard this, slowly raised her hand to pick up the teacup, handed it to her lips and took a few sips, the tea was fragrant and transparent, and the taste was endless after the entrance, she soothed her eyebrows and sighed.

"Mother?" Wang Rui called in a low voice, it seemed that as long as she opened her mouth, there was nothing that could not be solved.

Old Madam Zhuo put down the teacup, and then raised her eyes to look at him, "Rui'er, let me ask you, how many times have you checked the account on the Zhuangzi?" ”

"I check every month, and I never miss anything, and even every once in a while, I will suddenly check it, and there has been no problem." He thought for a moment and explained.

"Oh, how's the cargo at the dock following up?" Old Madam Zhuo asked again.

"This ...... I ran at least three times a month, but there were unforeseen circumstances, I was entangled in affairs, and more often than not, I had no time to look, and most of the goods on the account were sunken, or they were soaked and could not be used. Thinking of this, his brow piled up again.

"So, this is also to blame me, your father was not allowed to take a concubine at the beginning, and your brother took the official path again, and you alone can't take care of it." Old Madam Zhuo sighed.

"Mother don't want to say that, no matter how many brothers there are, not all of them are business materials, even business materials, and they may not be of the same heart as me, so I said that the second uncle, I suspect that they are the bad ones that are mixed with inferior silk." He slowly spoke out what he was thinking, and his face was slightly angry.

"Yes, what has happened to the second uncle recently, can you talk to your mother?"

"Mother, the second uncle's business has been a little bad recently, and Boss Zhu of Ruan Yuge canceled the previous long-term cooperation with them because they did not have the signboard of the Wang family." He said this and was slightly proud.

Old Madam Zhuo bowed slightly, and suddenly knocked on the ground with her cane.

"Xiuying, go and see if the accounts of the eldest young master have been handled?"

When the maid who served her heard this, she withdrew.

"Mother......" Before Wang Rui finished speaking, someone interrupted again.

"Old lady, the second master is here." Xiuyun came in to report, followed by Wang Sheng, who had not yet had time to change in his official uniform.

"Son, say hello to my mother." Wang Sheng didn't put on any official show, bowed his head and greeted him politely.

"Get up, what's going on today?" Only then did the old woman Zhuo have a headache on her face.

Wang Sheng raised his head, a trace of consternation flashed in his eyes, "How does Mother know?" ”

"There are so many Wang family members, any two of them will know if they go to the street, but you, you are not injured, right?" Old Madam Zhuo swept him up and down, and saw that his clothes were not broken, and she was relieved.

"I'm fine, thanks to General Feng's timely arrival today, otherwise I would have made a big mistake." Wang Sheng said with palpitations.

"Sheng'er, I have already said that you are not suitable for being an official, the Wang family can take out all the money to support you unconditionally, but you also have to know how to be an official, although you are rich and rich, but your qualifications are dull, if it weren't for the Wang family to make you up and down everywhere, you are afraid that you will never be able to get to today, but even so, I am worried about you.

Teach people to fish, it is better to teach people to fish, there will always be a time when we can't help you, today seems to be in danger, but next time, do you know, the whole family will be implicated if you make a mistake. Old Madam Zhuo said word by word, so that Wang Sheng knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, his face was red.

Wang Rui couldn't bear to see it, and knelt beside him with a robe pulled.

"Mother, the second brother is not what you say, he is just kind-hearted, and the officialdom has always been dark, how can he be tolerated."

"Hmph, in this way, there are no good people in the court?" She sneered, making the two brothers on the ground sweat behind their backs.

"Grandma, the grandson of the account book has already been sorted out for you." From the side door, another young man entered, elegant but not green, plain clothes, but the texture was extraordinary, a pair of eyes contained essence, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, giving people a feeling of confidence and trustworthiness.

"Yi'er, come here." Only then did Old Madam Zhuo show a smile and beckoned to him.

"Grandma." Wang Yi walked up to her and poured tea for her.

"Let me ask you, has the tent on the Zhuangzi been handled?" She asked suddenly.

"It's dealt with, the more than 10,000 taels of silver that Mr. Li embezzled before have been returned to 8,000, and the rest will be offset by his house."

Wang Rui was shocked when he heard this, "Yi'er, what are you talking about, Mr. Li embezzled more than 10,000 taels of silver?" How can it be? ”

"Father, Mr. Li has been the treasurekeeper for five years, and he knows everything about Zhuangzi, so he has evil thoughts, he thinks that no one knows, and he is more and more ignorant of restraint, spending money lavishly, and showing his feet." Wang Yi said, without waiting for Wang Rui to answer, he turned to Mrs. Zhuo and said: "The new Mr. Lin has been working as a bookkeeper in Xingzhuang for ten years, although he is old, he has never had a bad record, he is pedantic, attaches great importance to reputation, wants to come, and is credible. ”

Old Madam Zhuo nodded reassuringly, glanced at Wang Rui out of the corner of her eye, and said unhurriedly: "Well done." ”

"There is also the wharf, I specially found ten masters at the helm, they are boatmen who have been with the Wang family for more than ten years, all of them are people with a reputation, I only mentioned their monthly money, divided into ten teams, to be the head of each team, to compete, if every time to ensure the safe arrival of goods, there is no shortage, and the advantage of ten teams, then add bonuses, otherwise less deduction." He told the story, this way has never been heard of, but Wang Rui once thought about it, but he couldn't form an idea, so he gave up, and when his son said this, he instantly understood his thoughts, and looked at his son's eyes full of admiration.

"Yi'er, presumably you know who the ghost in that Buzhuang is?" Wang Rui looked forward to it.

"Back to my father, I have already found out the ghost last month." Wang also replied respectfully.

"Then why don't you deal with it in time, do you know how much he has lost our Zhuangzi?" Wang Rui shook his head with disappointment in his eyes.

"Father, if I don't do this, how can I find out how the second uncle framed our Zhuangzi, besides, if he was exposed before, he can only be driven away, he is not a death contract. It's different now, we have evidence, including the Boss Qiao who returned the goods, they are all people appointed by the second uncle, we can not only send them to prison, but also let them spit out all the money and goods, and most importantly, our Wang Zhuang's reputation will not suffer any loss. ”

Wang Sheng nodded slowly after listening, "Yi'er is still thoughtful." ”

Wang Rui looked ashamed, but when he thought that the other party was his son, he suddenly turned into full pride, with a son like this, how could there be no successor to the Wang family?

"Rui'er, I know that you have no talent in this area, but Yi'er is indeed a businessman, and I also know that you have done your best, and the Wang family is thanks to you." Old Madam Zhuo helped him up with a cane.

Wang Rui was moved and guilty at the same time, so he could only shake the old lady's hand, "Mother, I understand." ”

"Sheng'er, you are not suitable to be an official." Old Madam Zhuo turned her head to look at Wang Sheng, but Wang Sheng lowered her head.

"Mother......" Wang Rui wanted to intercede for his younger brother, but was interrupted by Mrs. Zhuo raising her hand.

"Mother, I ......" Wang Sheng himself couldn't speak, he knew that he was stupid, but in the end he was still reluctant to achieve today's achievements.

"Don't worry, even if you want to quit officialdom at the moment, you can't quit, our Wang family not only can't give up, but also hold you up." Old Madam Zhuo said.

"Mother, in fact, my younger brother just has no one to take care of him in the court, if someone can take care of him, he will not be so embarrassed." Wang Rui said.

"No matter how easy it is, there are always some adventures, but his life is dull, and it is not easy to get to today." Old Madam Zhuo sighed slightly.

"Mother, it's not like there's no way." Wang Rui seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, "The emperor's harem concubines...... The man is ...... us."

"Shut up!" Old Madam Zhuo suddenly knocked the ground hard with her crutches, "Don't mention her!" ”

"Mother, at the moment she lacks us, we also lack her, why not, we are a family......"

Old Madam Zhuo trembled with anger, and withdrew her hand from Wang Rui's hand, "I told you to stop!" Saying that, she couldn't help but fall back, Wang Yi hurriedly held the old lady, and Wang also signaled her father to stop talking and not to mention it again.

Wang Rui also looked remorseful, "Mother, don't be excited, don't be excited, I won't mention it." ”

Wang Sheng looked embarrassed, knowing what the eldest brother said, but he didn't dare to open his mouth again, lowered his head, and felt quite bitter in his heart.

The short-lived turmoil of the Wang family was like a small bubble and disappeared twice, but after that, the inside of the Wang family underwent a great change, which is a later story.

In the night, the moon and stars were scarce, and the night breeze carried a trace of coolness, which made Wen Rao's body dissipate a lot of heat, which was so comfortable that she couldn't help but pull her collar again.

She looked at the pair of moon beads in her hand, her expression became more and more sad, and her heart was at a loss.

"Rao'er, what are you looking at?" Qi Yao was elusive, and suddenly appeared behind her, Wen Rao instinctively held the thing in the palm of her hand and hid it, but she revealed a thread.

Qi Yao saw it, suddenly paused, and said, "This is ......"

"Nothing." Wen Rao stuffed things into her arms and said perfunctorily.

Qi Yao grabbed her wrist and made her move.

"Are you weak in heart?" In her ears was his heavy breathing, crispy and numb, which made her can't help but shrink her neck.

"I didn't." She said.

"No?" Qi Yao sneered, and a hand around her waist suddenly slipped into her clothes, as if unintentionally across her chest.

"Your Majesty......" Wen Rao exclaimed, it was too late to stop it.

In the blink of an eye, the pair of moon beads had fallen into his hands.

"This is a man's style, Rao'er, don't I remember that you have a brother?" The voice in my ears seemed to carry a bit of danger.

His hand around her waist tightened tighter.

"Your Majesty, this is a token of my mother's family." Wen Rao hurriedly explained, holding her clothes.

Hearing this, Qi Yao looked at the pair of moon pearls carefully, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"It's not a big family, it's just a merchant family." Wen Rao was a little embarrassed when she explained, after all, she was a cheap businessman, how to talk about her identity.

"You're talking about Wang." Qi Yao came up with an affirmative answer.

"Yes, the emperor actually knows." Wen Rao was a little surprised.

"I know, I don't know how to do business with the Wang family in the north and south of the world." When he said this, it seemed to be a compliment, but Wen Rao was not sure.

"Put it away." Qi Yao handed her back the things and didn't say anything.

Wen Rao took it and wanted to stuff it back into her arms, but as soon as she thought of Qi Yao's move, she turned around again and clasped the thing around her waist.

"On the first day of the new year today, shouldn't the emperor be at the virtuous concubine?" Wen Rao asked.

"She is a virtuous concubine, not a queen." Qi Yao raised his eyebrows, and said it meaningfully.

Wen Rao thought of her identity.

Qi Yao pleases women but really has a hand, so in this way, did he give her an honor when he came to her in the first year?

"The emperor is really wet with rain and dew, no matter how high or low the concubines are, they can always see you once." Wen Rao complimented.

"Do you like it?" Qi Yao suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Wen Rao didn't know what he meant, looking at his expressionless face, she really didn't know what he was thinking, she had been stared at by him for a long time, as long as she squeezed out a smiling face to respond.

It's just that her smiling face didn't please Qi Yao, but made the corners of his mouth tense more and more.

"That being the case, if you have a lot of concubines in my harem, you can only take one turn at most once a month." He said lukewarmly, "I don't know how long Rao'er can maintain such beauty, I don't like wrinkled old ladies." ”

Wen Rao didn't understand what he meant, but she read another meaning.

He's talking about how long can Israel serve people?

One day she will be decrepit and loved, and when that day comes, won't she be miserable.

If she is lucky enough to have a child, then it will be different, the son can take her to the fiefdom and stay away from this harem, if it is a daughter...... It made her feel cold.

She will definitely do whatever it takes for her daughter, make her a thousand pampered, avoid her from the pain of displacement, and build a high wall for her to shelter her from the wind and rain......

Wen Rao covered her chest, and for some reason suddenly there was a sour feeling here, that kind of deep fear, that kind of distress for another person who didn't know whether to save or not.

Suddenly, she longed for a child, just a child.

"Your Majesty." She suddenly pulled Qi Yao's clothes and hugged him tightly.

Qi Yao was unmoved, but his face turned a little dark, and he wanted to pull her away, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Wen Rao refused to let go, seeing that he was getting more and more anxious, seeing that he was about to break his fingers away, she was busy writhing around him, and her soft chest rubbed his blood churning.

Qi Yao's throat tightened, and he suddenly picked her up rudely, as if he was extremely disgusted, and twisted her collar away from him.

Wen Rao hated this posture very much, not only was it ugly and had no grace, but it also made her feel like a prey. Not to mention anything else, she wanted to stretch out her claws and pick up Qi Yao's body again, but she couldn't reach it a few times, like a fluffy short-legged animal, her eyes were red.

"Your Majesty." Wen Rao was almost crying by herself.

She thought of the Spring Palace that she had just finished copying the day before yesterday, her eyes were red, her cheeks were pink, and she suddenly had a plan in her heart, hesitated and gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

"Brother, don't tear the slave's clothes like this." She whispered.

Qi Yao lowered his head and looked sideways slightly.

I saw her beautiful and bright eyes, and the bright waves flowed, like a delicate chick, and she inherited her grace.

"Brother, the slave's clothes are going to be loosened." Her long thick ink eyelashes blinked a few times, and her tone was slightly tactful, as if with a hint of coquettishness.

Her words led his gaze to her collar, slightly open, revealing the delicate collarbone and the jade rabbit that made his heart itch, but only the tip of the iceberg could be seen.

"Brother......" Wen Rao sweated in her heart, and she didn't know what to say anymore.

Qi Yao didn't wait for her next and threw her directly on the bed.

Wen Rao buried herself in the soft quilt, and before she could react, she felt a tightness around her waist, and she rolled around.

When I opened my eyes again, the belt had fallen into Qi Yao's hands.

His gaze glowed green, and his eerie gaze swept all around her, making her hairs stand on end.

Before she could speak, he raised his hand and twitched her, and the soft ribbon fell on her, which made her feel a crisp and numb pain, and she did not expect him to use his inner strength.

She was almost stunned, unable to understand what he was doing, and before she could react, she heard him speak, his voice low and even a little hoarse.

"Call uncle."

“……”

"Uncle, uncle......"

"Not enough, beg me ......"

"Uh, uncle, please let go of the slave family......"

"Good niece, didn't you scratch your head just now to seduce your uncle? Uncle, feed you. ”

Qi Yao is very involved in the play, even with Wen Rao, he is a little distracted.

"No, I'm your niece, we can't ...... like this" was magically picked up by her.

Qi Yao raised her eyebrows in satisfaction, slowly opened her clothes, and said in a low voice: "Uncle thinks you want to die, are you willing to do it?" ”

He started foreplay very patiently, but in Wen Rao's eyes, he was more like playing with her body, and everywhere, he had to test and force her to whisper.

"Don't, don't ...... the emperor"

"Obediently, I'm your uncle." He patted her ass and his hand slid down her back, scratching her crispy and numb.

"No ......"

"Call uncle, I'll let you go, hurry up." His fingers were down.

Wen Rao clamped her legs to stop him.

"Uncle, spare me, spare me."

"Spread your legs, my boys."

“…… Qi Yao, you liar! ”

Wen Rao listened to those conversations with a blushing heart beat, and in the end, she couldn't help but beg for mercy again and again, he actually took advantage of the fire to rob her, and changed his ways to lure her to continue to cooperate.

He was like a wolf that had been hungry for a hundred years, devouring her repeatedly, and it was not enough.

It was as if the meat had been sprinkled with addictive ingredients that whetted his appetite.

When Wen Rao woke up again, she only felt that her eyes were sticky and couldn't be opened, the bones around her body seemed to have been disassembled and reassembled, her arms were bruised and purple, covered with traces of kisses, and even one was stored on the instep of her foot.

Wen Rao scolded in her heart, hating herself for being tired of even moving a finger now.

"Liangyuan, it's still early, just sleep for a while." Silk Tong's voice remembered in the room.

Wen Rao closed her eyes, and after listening to her words, she fell asleep again.
