Chapter 533: Strange Cousin
Wang Yue can attach so much importance to the matter of Hexiang, Zhang Ziyun said happily: "That's pretty much it!" Then he said: "Hey, your second grandfather's family and your uncle's family have been moving to the starting point city for more than half a year, you should go and have a look." ”
The two relatives moved from their hometown when the Chinese New Year was approaching, and Wang Yue received the news by telegram earlier.
"Well, I'm going to check them out." Wang Yue said.
——————————
"Wang Yue has seen his aunt and cousin, are you still used to living in the starting point city?" In the house in the original living area, Wang Yue made a special trip to visit his uncle's family.
This house was originally assigned to Wang Yue's family, but since it moved to Wang's Garden, this house has been vacant, including Zhang Ziyun's one. So this house was left to my uncle's house, along with Zhang Ziyun's house, as a new house for my cousin Li Xuewen to marry in the future. Li Xuewen is one year older than Wang Yue, and he is eighteen years old this year.
Aunt Zheng said happily: "Yue'er has grown taller again, I really didn't expect that you have changed so much in the past two years, you have become an official of the imperial court, and you have such a big business." This starting point city is good, everything is convenient, and it is much stronger than our village. ”
Although Wang Yue is now in a high position, the Zheng family is generous.
Cousin Li Xuewen bowed his hand a little stiffly and said, "Xuewen has seen Lord Shaobao." ”
Although I also played with Wang Yue in the mud when I was a child, after reading the sage books for many years, I cared more about the humility of the upper and lower levels.
Wang Yue waved his hand and said: "Cousin doesn't have to be so outside, we are all our own family, so don't be so polite at home." ”
Uncle Li Rongcheng also said: "Yue'er is right, don't divide your own family." Then he said, "You guys talk first, I'll go and see why Lian'er's girl hasn't come over yet." With that, he went out and went to the opposite side to call his cousin Li Qinglian.
After Li Rongcheng went out, Zheng sighed: "Yue'er has made a big difference in the past two years, but your cousin has not made any progress, and he has not even been admitted to the show." Yue'er, we are all our own family, you must give your cousin a hand. ”
Looking at Zheng's hopeful expression, Wang Yue smiled: "Yes, auntie." ”
No matter how talented Li Xuewen is, Wang Yue will use it, and this era is more important than later generations.
It is already rare for Li Xuewen to be admitted to the middle school boys, although he was not admitted to Xiucai, it does not prove that he is not good at academics. The imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty was not the college entrance examination of later generations, and half of the imperial examination relied on luck, and half relied on connections.
The imperial examination at the end of the Ming Dynasty was more perverted than that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and the Bagu Wen Examination had been bad for more than 200 years.
Zheng Shi was overjoyed and said: "Since your cousin came to the starting point city, he has been working in the logistics department of the starting point city, and Director Wang is full of praise for him." ”
Director Wang is Wang Pengyuan, and his uncle and cousin are now working in the logistics department. Now that the Wang family is developed, they also have to pull in poor relatives, so the salt sales are handed over to his uncle Li Rongcheng, and the commission is 3%. According to this year's salt production, the annual income of my uncle's family can reach 100,000 taels.
"Isn't the logistics office good? My cousin can just help my uncle. Wang Yue said.
Li Xuewen said a little sneeringly: "Less...... Sihua, for my brother, I want to go to the Tiance Army. ”
"Yue'er, don't listen to your cousin's nonsense!" As soon as his words fell, Zheng hurriedly said to Wang Yue: "Your cousin has been reading for so many years, how can he be that fighting man?" Now Yue'er is already a second-class member, but you have to find a way to get an official body for your cousin. ”
Of course, the official body mentioned by Zheng is a civil official, which is the characteristic of the Ming Dynasty, and the gold content of civil officials is higher. This is inherent thinking, and it also shows that Zheng does not understand the starting point city.
"Mother, don't worry about it, the child is going to the Tiance Army."
Of course, Li Xuewen didn't read and read stupidly, after more than half a year in the starting point city, he had already seen that Wang Yue's starting point city was a feudal town, and the army was the foundation of his life, and it was definitely unwise to mix officialdom with his kinship with the Wang family.
Seeing that their mother and son had a dispute, it seemed that it should not be a day or two, Wang Yue had no choice but to play a round and said: "Auntie, you let your cousin go to the Tiance Army, maybe there will be a big future in the future." ”
Wang Yue's current achievements are admirable, and since he said so, Zheng had no choice but to say: "Then Yue'er has to take care of your cousin." ”
"Yes, yes!" Wang Yue said to Li Xuewen again: "Cousin, let's go to the staff headquarters of the Tiance Army in the past two days to report, and first follow Chief of Staff Li and them to learn staff homework." ”
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow, thank you Sihua." Li Wenwen said.
The three of them were chatting, and his uncle Li Rongcheng pulled his cousin Li Qinglian in, which seemed to Wang Yue to be brought in.
"Yue'er will eat here tonight, your cousin's cooking skills are getting better and better." Li Rongcheng greeted warmly as soon as he entered the door.
Wang Yue smiled and said to Li Qinglian: "How is Cousin Qinglian lately? ”
"Oh, good, good!" Li Qinglian dodged Wang Yue's gaze, lowered her head and said, "Second cousin, sit down for a while, and I'll go to Zhang Luo for dinner." ”
Wang Yue said: "Okay! Then I'll try Cousin Qinglian's craftsmanship! ”
Li Qinglian turned around and ran away, Li Rongcheng stomped her feet and said, "This girl is becoming more and more ignorant of etiquette." ”
Aunt Zheng also said to Wang Yue: "Yue'er, don't blame your cousin, we are used to her like this." ”
Wang Yue laughed and said, "No, no." ”
During the banquet, Wang Yue found that the Li family also hired a little sister as a nanny, and the strangest thing was the attitude of his cousin Li Qinglian, whose eyes were always dodgy, which made Wang Yue very puzzled. Since he refused to get married, his cousin has always regarded himself as a negative man, which one is this singing today?
In the evening in the Wang's garden, Wang Yue still didn't understand, so he said to Zhang Ziyun: "My cousin is very strange today." ”
After Zhang Ziyun asked about the situation, he giggled and said to Wang Yue: "Silly Xianggong, because your cousin has a sweetheart!" ”
No wonder Zhang Ziyun is so happy, this cousin Qinglian is a big rival of herself.
"Oh? Who? Wang Yue was surprised, and his volume became higher.
Zhang Ziyun kept laughing and didn't stop, and said slowly: "Hmph, of course it's your Chief of Staff Li." ”
"Zixiong, Li Zixiong? I said how he always looked a little weird lately. Wang Yue was even more surprised.
"You don't know, both of them have been fine for more than half a year, but they are acting like thieves. Aren't you afraid that your uncle's family will know that it won't look good in case of trouble? In fact, your uncle and your mother already knew about it, but as far as I know, your uncle disagrees, and still hopes that you can be aunts and cousins. Zhang Ziyun said.
