With a bit of majesty in his eyes, Wang Ziteng knocked on the coffee table in front of him and asked Xue Pan: "I am not in Beijing these days, have you done anything wrong to make your mother angry?" ”

"Go back to my uncle, the child doesn't dare." Obviously, Prince Tengzheng was talking to Jia Wei, and he didn t want to ask about himself in the next moment, Xue Pan was excited, slandering on the one hand, and got up and replied with a bitter face.

"Don't dare? What else would you not dare? ”

“…… I really don't dare. ”

"Humph!"

"Master, come over today, relatives come here, gather together, you don't want to admonish your nephew, in my opinion, Pan'er has had a lot of rules in the past two years, but I have listened to your words in the past." Seeing that the atmosphere was serious, not only Xue Pan was embarrassed, but even the juniors sitting below were a little cramped, at this time, Mrs. Chen stood up and played a round with a smile.

Wang Ziteng didn't want to say any more, and glared at Xue Pan, "You can do it yourself." He waved him to sit down.

Mrs. Chen smiled again and spoke, "The master is also confused, he only cares about admonishment, and he doesn't remember to ask Pan'er about his marriage, you used to talk about it, but now he is a little older, you forgot about it!" ”

Hearing her say this, the room chuckled.

Wang Ziteng couldn't help laughing, turned around and said to Aunt Xue on the side, "What? Don't have the right person yet? ”

"I'm inquiring, there is a family that is suitable." Aunt Xue said vaguely.

"Oh." Wang Ziteng nodded, and then asked, "Which family in Beijing is it?" ”

"It's not a family in Beijing, it's a family of eunuchs in Suzhou."

"Suzhou's? Good, good, get along with our native people, and naturally get used to all things...... Eunuch ...... Well, be careful......"

"The lord of this family has been a teacher in the Qing Military Department of Suzhou, and now there are thousands of acres of fields in the countryside of Suzhou, and he is a small landlord...... His great-grandfather served as the governor of Jiangsu, and his grandfather also served as the prefect of a place......"

"Hmm...... Although the family road is a little middle-class, it can be regarded as a solid family. ”

The two of them were talking, and Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, and the three young grandmothers of Wang Yi, Wang Jian, and Wang Ren all listened with interest.

Among them, Mrs. Chen and the three young grandmothers heard of it for the first time, but Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng heard Aunt Xue mention it, and knew that Aunt Xue liked Chen Xiaoqing and wanted to come to the door to propose.

In this way, Wang Ziteng said a few words to Aunt Xue, and several of them also intervened, and you said it word by word.

The topic continued, and the conversation was lively, and the rest of the people in the room were also slightly attracted, among a large number of people who talked and listened, as the de facto planners of this family matter, Jia Wei and Baochai were naturally different, sitting there, smiling, drinking tea, and occasionally exchanging glances.

Speaking of which, for this family matter, except for Jia Wei, Aunt Xue, Xue Pan, Baochai, and Baoqin, the five of them are clear, and everyone else is confused, neither knowing that Jia Wei is the role of the matchmaker, nor the role of Baochai Baoqin in it.

It is necessary to penetrate the mouth in advance, and it is the common feeling between relatives, otherwise if you learn afterwards, if you don't say it in your mouth, your heart will definitely not be useful.

But Jia Wei, Baochai, and Baoqin acted in secret, but it was inconvenient to confide, after all, although it was helpless to make this decision, it was meant to make people laugh when it was really spread, especially people like them.

Of course, back to this moment, on the topic of Xue Pan's family affairs, talking and chatting with the eldest brother and sister-in-law, eldest sister, niece-in-law and three nephews and daughters-in-law, Aunt Xue is still hiding one thing.

Just this morning, the official media of her central government has gone to Chen's shopkeeper's house to propose marriage.

This matter is still only known to their family, Jia Wei and Baoqin.

Therefore, at this moment, Aunt Xue, Jia Wei, and Baochai, including Xue Pan, the party to the topic, all have a secret mood in addition to the excitement of this topic, speculating about the situation in another place.

What will be the outcome of the proposal......

In the room of laughter, the hours passed quickly, the topic kept changing, and the topic of Xue Pan's family affairs had already been brought over, and it was replaced by several other topics of interest to everyone...... Since the bell strikes the bell to the first quarter of noon, the maids rush in and serve hot snacks, which is very different from the Rongfu, which is almost the time for lunch, and it is impossible to serve snacks at this time, but the palace lunch is set at the beginning of the hour (one o'clock in the afternoon), so it is appropriate.

Everyone gathered around the round table in twos and threes, Jia Wei and Tanchun were at a table, and then Wang Qingyu and Wang Zhi came over together.

In the heat, the four of them chatted while eating.

"Brother Bao, since last year's Chongyang Yongju poems, why haven't you written poems again?" After eating and chatting like this, Wang Qingyu asked suddenly.

Jia Wei was not surprised that she asked about this, when she came to pay New Year's greetings at the beginning of the year, this elegant and delicate cousin, talking to him, mostly focused on poetry, at this time the other party's tone was serious, but for him, this kind of topic could not be serious, and smiled casually, "I haven't written for a long time...... Well, I'm busy running a newspaper, so I can only put it aside. ”

"Your poetry is amazing, put it aside and don't write...... What a shame. ”

"Hehe, it's important to run a newspaper."

"But...... Hey, Brother Bao, aren't you afraid that people will say that you Jiang Lang is finished? ”

Jia Wei put down the spoon and looked up at her, the little girl's eyes were clearly a little cunning, and she didn't feel it...... Dared?

spread his hands, "I have already finished Jiang Lang, and when I was boating on the Smoke Lake, I only wrote two sentences, and I couldn't write anymore." ”

"You coax people, even these two sentences can't be written by others." The method of agitation is useless, Wang Qingyu is very frustrated, but Jia Wei mentioned the poem of boating on the Yanhu Lake at this time, and she couldn't help but relive it in her heart - the smoke wave patted the hero's dream, and the bright moon snuggled into the jade man's arms - she was thirteen years old, and what she felt was the indescribable demeanor of celebrities.

This handsome and carefree cousin...... Her eyes touched Jia Wei, and she didn't come to the ground to turn red, and gently covered her eyes.

Wang Zhi on the side was very happy to see that the second sister suddenly stopped talking, but he couldn't interject at the right time, and now he can finally speak: "...... Brother Bao, I remember that I asked you twice about the training class, you always diverged, in a few months, I will take the Taoist test, I can't make up my mind before this, whether to sign up for the training class, you carefully tell me about the situation of the training class, I want to refer to it in detail. ”

Jia Wei blinked and leaned back in his chair.

These two sisters and brothers of the Wang family are all difficult, but it is easy for the sister to stop, and the younger brother is here again.

But in comparison, Wang Qingyu is just trying to get him to write poems, but this Wang Zhi is only interested in inquiring about "shortcuts", and it seems that it is necessary to admonish him, otherwise he, the initiator of the training class, will mislead people's children.

His face was solemn, "If you really want to know, I'll tell you...... The so-called discipline class is nothing more than a business, attracting those students who are not good at academics and are lucky. In any case, how can twenty days of discipline replace a ten-year cold window......

“…… Besides, then again, what is the imperial examination for people like us? Is it just for the sake of being an official? Not really. If it's just to be an official, there are always various ways for people like us...... If you are famous for your achievements in the imperial examination, you will be down-to-earth, temper your knowledge, and sharpen your character, so that you can apply what you have learned in the future, and you will be able to take on a heavy responsibility...... In this way, what is the benefit of the shortcut to the Xitu scientific examination? ”

When these words were spoken, Wang Zhi's face was ashamed.

Wang Ziteng, who was sitting next to him, also heard what Jia Wei said to his youngest son, and nodded secretly.

This nephew is not simple, he is thorough and thorough, even if he listens to it, he can only be convinced, and he only hopes that Zhi'er can listen to it, and he will work hard from then on.

……

After lunch, after seeing off Jia Zheng and the others, Wang Ziteng returned to the courtyard, and then went to the bedroom to rest.

In the evening, the Beijing camp prepared a reception banquet, he wanted to go to the banquet, he had not seen his colleagues for more than a year, the banquet time could not be short, in short, the words would not be less, the wine would not be less, so it was necessary to raise the spirit.

Leaning his head on the pillow, closing his eyes, and filtering the scene of meeting his relatives today before going to bed, Jia Wei, the nephew, left a deep impression on him.

A fifteen-year-old boy can utter such words of persuasion, and he cannot but be amazed by the wisdom and insight contained in them, which many elders do not possess.

Judging by his words today, it is not fortunate that the young man became famous.

It's a pity to just give up school and start business.

After immersing himself in the nephew for a moment, the prince slowly fell asleep.
