Wang Xiaocai sat down, and the little girl next to him called softly: "Third brother is good." ”

She is only eight or nine years old, she looks very good, but she looks a little timid, and after saying hello, she lowered her head to look at her toes, and she didn't seem to expect her demented third brother to answer.

"Well, no courtesy." Wang Xiao subconsciously responded.

Over there, Aunt Shen laughed out loud and said with a smile: "Look at the third brother and the fifth girl's answer, his bearing is like a big official, hahaha." ”

Hearing the words 'five girls', Wang Xiao knew that this little girl was the daughter of Aunt Zhang, and she should be named Wang Yuer.

Sure enough, Aunt Zhang, who was standing there, listened, and looked at her daughter, quite relieved and loving.

"Shen, don't joke big or small in front of the child." The next moment, the woman sitting on the main seat turned her head and glared at Aunt Shen slightly, and said lightly.

Wang Xiao looked at it, and just looked at the woman's clothes and accessories, and knew that this was his stepmother Cui.

Cui's is in his forties, and he is already old, and his appearance is rigid, so his appearance is naturally much worse than that of the young and beautiful Aunt Shen. Coupled with her caustic demeanor, it is a little unpleasant.

The Cui family is one of the largest grain merchants in Beijing, and the Cui family had a marriage contract when he was young, but the other party passed away before he could pass the door. She had a bad temper and stayed at home like an old girl. She finally married Wang Kang, who had a dead wife and three sons and two concubines.

At this time, after Cui Shi finished speaking, he said to a young man beside him: "Since this is the case. Bao'er, you can also take your sister to say hello to your third brother. He will soon be the captain of the attached horse, and you will be considered a marriage to the royal family if you touch his light. Hey, maybe you go and say hello, and he can share your Huangzhuang. ”

As soon as she said this, with her tone and expression, it seemed that she had ulterior motives to sarcastically greet Wang Xiao for no reason. And the sentence 'you take your sister too' separates his son and daughter from Wang Yuer's concubine.

Over there, Aunt Zhang's face was a little embarrassed, and Aunt Shen, who was still smiling, also stopped laughing, and Wang Yu'er beside Wang Xiao buried her head lower.

On the contrary, the young man in front of Cui Shi smiled, his name was Wang Bao, only one year younger than Wang Xiao, at this time when he heard his mother's words, he showed a contemptuous expression on his face, and he also said to himself, "Idiot attaches the horse".

This self-talk was quite quiet, between being able to hear and not being able to hear clearly.

And the people in the hall were as if they had not heard. In terms of truth, what Wang Bao said can be regarded as objective reality.

Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then Wang Bao led a five-year-old girl over, and the two called each other: "The third brother is good"

"Well, no courtesy." Wang smiled and responded.

In this atmosphere of brotherly love, Wang Bao suddenly leaned into Wang Xiao's ear and said softly: "Fool, I'll bully your Ying'er in a while." ”

This sentence was quite soft, but there was great disgust and provocation in the tone.

Hearing this, Wang Xiao's body suddenly had a strong fear and rejection.

This feeling is extremely bizarre, and he is clearly still thinking disapprovingly in his mind, "It's just a junior high school student who wants to mess with me" or something like that, but his body has a reaction similar to muscle memory, and he wants to run away like a conditioned reflex.

He forcibly suppressed this discomfort and looked at Wang Bao, only to see that this half-brother had a deep anger between his eyebrows.

Fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys are in the rebellious period, and they are most prone to extremes. Cui's mother obviously did not cultivate the child's heart well, and it seems to have played some negative effects.

At this time, Wang Bao's expression looked extremely stubborn, with a deep malice of wanting to bully Wang Xiao to death.

Feeling the primitive fear in his body, Wang Xiao understood: he was bullied by Wang Bao a lot before.

However, this is no longer the case.

So Wang Xiao smiled lightly, looking too lazy to pay attention to Wang Bao.

Wang Bao was ready to see Wang Xiao crying in a hurry, but when he got such a reaction, he was stunned for a moment, and his heart became angry.

"This idiot dares to deal with me with such an expression!"

However, this is not the occasion for the attack, Wang Bao sneered in Wang Xiao's ear, "You wait and see", and after speaking, he pulled his sister Wang Huan'er and retreated to his mother Cui's side.

Looking at Cui's mother and son again, Wang Xiao shook his head a little in his heart.

After coping with these, another boy, two girls and three children came to say hello, but this time they were all called "third uncle", presumably the children of Wang Zhen and Wang Zhu. The three children are quite cute, especially the youngest girl, who is only three or four years old, with a milky voice and pink carving, which is extremely rare, and seems to be the only daughter of the second brother Wang Zhu.

Seeing these big and small heads dangling in front of him, Wang Xiao only felt unbearable, and just remembering his name made his head big.

These people who greeted him were only young, and most of the remaining people in the hall should have gone to greet them by themselves.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao couldn't help but be a little glad that he was a demented child. Otherwise, with the complexity of human feelings in this era, it is definitely not something that a modern soul who is used to being a loner can accept for a while.

After a while, Wang Kang changed his clothes and came out.

When he went to the suburbs of Beijing to run errands, he wore cloth clothes, and after returning home, he changed into a comfortable silk, which looked quite noble.

Wang Kang was forty and eight years old at the time, and he still looked young and strong. He was obviously also dignified when he was young, but now he has three long beards, and he is very dignified, not like a businessman, but a bit like an official.

Cui Shi hurriedly went up to help Wang Kang, and asked quite earnestly: "Why did the master come back by himself, but he didn't see the second brother?" ”

Wang Kang said: "There is something in the shop in the city, he will take care of it first." ”

Cui Shi smiled and said: "This kid is really hard, non-stop." ”

Wang Xiao listened to this answer, and took in Cui's expression, and presumed in his heart that Cui's was obviously very afraid of this second brother Wang Zhu. In this case, either Cui's is a person who eats soft and is afraid of hard, or Wang Zhu is quite powerful.

The next thing is for his group of children to go up to Wang Kang to say goodbye, and Wang Xiao follows behind Wang Zhen.

"Zhen'er greets her father."

"Bao'er greets her father."

"Jade ......"

"Huan'er ......"

Wang Xiao only discovered one thing at this time-

Wang Kang has a total of four sons and two daughters, the eldest son Wang Zhen, the second son Wang Zhu, the third son Wang Xiao, the fourth son Wang Bao, the fifth son Wang Yuer, and the sixth queen Huan'er. In addition to himself, the names of the other five children are based on the "Pearl Jade Ring", which is somewhat similar to "Red Mansion", which is a common way of naming people in ancient times.

This is obviously looking down on yourself as a demented child.

Thinking of Wang Bao being only a generation younger than himself - it shows that after the death of his biological mother Su, Wang Kang clearly married Cui without stopping.

Wang Xiao looked at these things from the perspective of a bystander, and he didn't feel any grievances at this time, but he didn't look at Wang Kang with the same awe as others.

When these children greeted Wang Kang, it was their turn to come forward and salute.

Sure enough, the little girl who carved in pink is the only daughter of the second brother Wang Zhu, whose nickname is Wang Sisi.

A group of children and grandchildren asked for peace, except for Wang Xiao, everyone was reprimanded by Wang Kang, and only when it was Wang Sisi's turn did Wang Kang show some smiling appearance as a grandfather. I don't know if it's because Wang Zhu is promising, or because this little girl is really cute.

Interestingly, even Cui's smiled at Wang Sisi and spoke, thinking to see Wang Zhu's face.

Then the crowd sat and talked.

said that it was a narrative, but everyone took advantage of Wang Kang, the head of the family, to drink a cup of tea to report on his kung fu and raise difficulties.

In this link, Wang Zhen's wife Tao Shi seemed quite active, talking about the expenses in the inner courtyard, which maids and daughters were competent, and what kind of grange seemed to be talked about between words, which made Cui's a little unhappy.

Wang Xiao knew that the financial power of the inner court was actually in the hands of his sister-in-law Tao, not Cui.

He didn't care about this kind of thing, he thought that he would be mixed up like this today, but who knew that Wang Kang would point to himself as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Now the first thing in the house is Xiao'er's marriage. You can handle this matter personally, Mrs., there is no need to check the various uses, so as not to lose the dignity of our Wang family. Wang Kang said lightly.

Over there, Cui Shi pinched the handkerchief and responded, and his face showed some joy.

Wang Kang said again: "There is also the etiquette of laughter, Zhen'er, you teach it personally, and quickly memorize the hypnotic poems and thanks, so as not to make a fool of yourself." He has a dull mind, and he has to prepare for these things in advance. ”

Wang Xiao was a little unhappy in his heart, how could he say bad things to people's faces like this.

As he was talking, he suddenly heard someone shouting "big brother", Wang Xiao turned his head to look, but saw a man who was somewhat similar to Wang Kang's appearance walking into the hall, thinking that it was his uncle Wang Qin.

But I heard Wang Qin say: "Big brother has been to see it?" How about those farms? Is the harvest good? ”

Wang Kang's face was a little uncertain, and he snorted with his sleeves: "The Son of Heaven marries a daughter, what a big deal, you don't have to worry about it!" One by one, they even inquired about the princess's dowry in front of me, and they annoyed you to death. ”

Wang Qin had no choice but to say: "I'm just worried that there will be not enough food to make wine this year, so why should the eldest brother inquire about it." ”

Wang Kang tapped a sentence and said lightly: "It's just annoying to be asked, not for you." ”

Wang Qin said again: "Have you heard? There is another locust plague in the pass, and the court seems to want to ban alcohol......"

"Go to the front room." Wang Kang put down the teacup as he spoke, stood up, pointed at Wang Qin and Wang Zhen, and walked to the outer courtyard.

Wang Zhen also stood up, first told Wang Xiao to wait for him to come back to learn etiquette, and then followed Wang Kang over.

When the men in charge of the house were gone, the full house of women and children talked for a while, and the morning meeting was finally over.

Wang Xiao knew that the grange in the suburbs of Beijing was the princess's dowry, no wonder the knife said, "The grange is clearly our young master's, but it is coveted."

When he came over today, he didn't see any good faces, but it sounded like a group of people who had sold themselves in exchange for the land, and now they were thinking about how to divide it—when he thought about it, he felt a little bored.

Out of the lobby, I saw Ying'er and Wang Zhen's eldest girl Huantanxiang standing together.

Seeing the king laughing, Tan Xiang greeted him and said, "The eldest young master asked the third young master to wait for a while, and when he came back after talking with the master." ”

Then Tan Xiang asked Ying'er to go back first, and said that if she turned around, she would naturally send her third young master back to Yunyun.

Ying'er was a little uneasy, Tan Xiang laughed at her, "What can you do in your own home" or something, Ying'er had no choice but to turn around and walk to her yard step by step......
