Chapter 240: Poor Relatives
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor system said: Shu is cautious, diligent and supple, Yonghe is pure, and the sex is gentle......
…… Jin Yiwei calmed Cao Wei, who was very intelligent, prepared for his loyalty, and comforted him. Promote Cao Wei Qin Yanghou, Jiayi Doctor, and his wife Cao Xie Sipin Lady ......"
Cao Wei received the decree to thank him, and after the eunuch left, he casually threw the decree to Wang Sheng, and said: "I always feel that the Hou Ye does not sound as good as the uncle, and the Hou Ye sounds like a monkey, otherwise the plaque on the house will not be changed!" ”
Wang Sheng held the holy decree like a baby, and said with a wry smile: "Master, Hou Ye is much better than Uncle Hou, you did Hou Ye at a young age, and the Guogong will not be able to run away in the future, the plaque must be replaced, this is a great glory." ”
"Then it's troublesome Uncle Wang......" Cao Wei saw a cramped and restless woman standing behind Wang Sheng, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, this is Aunt Wang, right?" ”
Wang Sheng hurriedly said: "Qi Niang, I've seen the master soon!" ”
Liu Qiniang was about to salute, Cao Wei waved his hand and said, "What does the family want so much etiquette for?" In the future, the affairs in Cao's Mansion will have to worry about the two of you, and I am more lazy, and I am not happy to worry about this. This promotion is a great joy in the family, the servants in the house will issue double silvers this month, and I will take my wife to go to my relatives when I meet the lord, and this matter will be handed over to Uncle Wang. ”
Wang Sheng hurriedly nodded yes.
Cao Wei took Xie Wan's hand and got into the carriage and drove away slowly, Wang Sheng sighed and said, "What a good family, why don't you have an heir...... Qi Niang, what are you doing pointing at your stomach? Does it hurt in the stomach? ”
Liu Qiniang stomped her feet and said, "Dead man, I'm happy!" ”
Wang Sheng's eyes widened, and then a wave of ecstasy filled his chest, and he stood there dumbfounded, smirking, not knowing what to do. Liu Qiniang glanced at him and said, "What are you doing there, there are still many things to arrange in the house, if you don't do it well, be careful that the master will drive you out of the house......"
"No, no, the old man has a good heart, just like a bodhisattva, he will never drive me out of the house." Wang Sheng caught up with Liu Qiniang and said hurriedly: "What are you doing so fast, be careful of the tire gas......"
Xie Fu!
Cao Wei helped Xie Wan get out of the carriage, walked to the door and said, "Please also tell Gong Xie that Yuyao's family came to pay a visit." ”
The servant guarding the door replied: "My lord has gone out on an errand, and it will take some time to return to the house, but the son is in the house, and the two distinguished guests are waiting, and the villain will go to tell the son." ”
"It's hard work!"
After a pillar of incense, Cao Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, it seems that the son of the Xie family is not very happy to see us ......."
Xie Wan was a little annoyed, not to mention that she was a family relative, even if it was an ordinary guest, she definitely couldn't let people wait so long: "Xianggong, concubine body, etc., it's nothing, but you are the Hou Ye, how can you suffer such humiliation?" Let's go back and talk to Uncle in the future. ”
Cao Wei saw Xie Wan's frowning appearance, and suddenly smiled: "It's okay, let's just wait, maybe this Gongzi Xie is really busy, so he neglected us, and it doesn't matter if you wait......"
After about half a pillar of incense, a young man walked out of the mansion with a big smile and arched his hand: "I don't know which Yuyao clan came to visit?" Tea is ready, please come in! ”
Xie Wan was about to speak, but Cao Wei preemptively said: "Under Cao Wei, this is my wife Xie Wan, according to the seniority, my wife and I should call Xie Gong an uncle." ”
"There are too many relatives in the clan, and Xie rarely goes out, so I don't recognize the two, and please don't blame them."
Walking to the front hall, Xie Pi sent the servants to serve tea, and said with a smile: "The two of you have something to do when you come to Xie's house......
"We ......"
“…… It's better to ask for others than for yourself, although my father is a cabinet scholar, he can't bend the law for personal gain, and the two of them are probably going to run for nothing. I have a hundred taels of silver here, and please don't be too little, after all, my father is an honest official, and there is not a lot of gold and silver in the house. There are still some things to deal with below, so I won't accompany you much, and I ask you to forgive me. ”
After Xie Pi finished speaking, he took out a silver ticket from his arms and put it on the table, and then took his leave. Cao Wei and Xie Wan looked at each other, and they both had a sense of ridicule.
"Lady, do we look like shabby in our dress?"
Xie Wan smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid there are few families in this Beijing division who are richer than our family, this time it's really a joke, I really don't know how the uncle will feel when he returns home to know about it." ”
"Go and rest, let's come back to visit another day, but we have to leave a word for Gong Xie, otherwise the next time we come will be like this, and the joke will be bigger."
"Xianggong, what should I do with this silver ticket?"
"Naturally, take it!" Cao Wei smiled: "Let's go to kiss, we haven't even eaten a bite of food, how can we leave empty-handed......"
Half an hour later, Xie Pi came out of the backyard, saw the servants cleaning the tables and chairs, and asked, "Are the two of them already gone?" ”
The servant stopped what he was doing and said respectfully: "Childe, the two of them have left and left a letter for the master. ”
Xie Pi frowned and said: "Presumably, it's either seeking officials or money, I really don't know what these clansmen think, do you think that my father can do whatever he wants when he becomes a scholar?" Show me the letter, and don't bother my father. ”
The servant took out a letter from his arms, Xie Pi took it and opened it, his eyes suddenly widened, and cold sweat broke out.
"Gong Xie personally enlightened, the junior Qinyang Hou Cao Wei Xiude respectfully, today to visit your mansion, coincided with the busy elders, and I was not fortunate to see the elders, especially regretful!
The prince of your mansion is thoughtful and thoughtful, behaves generously, and sends a hundred taels of silver as a return gift, Xiude is ashamed to receive the silver money of the house, but he is hungry in the belly, and he has nothing to eat, so he takes it to buy some wine and food, and chats to wrap his stomach.
Today is full of joy, and after a while, I will visit Xie Gong, and if I get a hundred taels of silver again, life is fortunate, so I look forward to eating wine and talking about the ancients with Xie Gong, and worship virtue! ”
Xie Pi hurriedly ran out of the house and asked the porter, "What about the guests who just came to visit?" ”
The porter was stunned and said, "They have already left......
"Woe to you, woe to you!" Xie Pi muttered, "Marquis of Qinyang? Why didn't my father tell me that there is another relative in the family who is the Hou Ye, and now I make such a joke, how can I ......?"
…………………………………………
When Cao Wei returned home, Wang Sheng greeted him and said, "Master, Hou Shouning came to visit, and now he is drinking tea in the front hall." ”
In the front hall of Cao's mansion, Zhang Heling saw Cao Wei walk in, got up and said with a wry smile: "Lord Cao, now the trouble is coming, many families want to invest in our Huaxu, and Zhang can't shirk it." ”
Cao Wei said without hesitation: "Since they want to buy shares, let's just accept them." When you spread the news, you said that Huaxu would expand its scale and open a branch again, and as long as the bank was released, it could become Huaxu's owner! ”
Zhang Heling was stunned for a moment and said, "Master Cao, what do you mean?" ”
"A man once said that if you make more friends and fewer enemies, this is a kind of success......"
