After being silent for a long time, Wang Lushi saw that everyone didn't speak, and even said something again: "Today is just to let Guang'er and you worship the Prime Minister of the State as a teacher, and they are so pushy." www.biquge.info If it weren't for the early death of Wang Yong (1) in my family, it would have been the turn of the second brother to become the new marquis, and what to say about the warm winter moon and the cool pillow on the hot day, it is just hypocrisy. As soon as these words were spoken, it could not be said that the lethality was not great, not only Wang Shu, but even the queen mother was red and red with anger, and the old lady saw that her eldest daughter-in-law could say such a thing, and she was so angry that she almost didn't lose her breath.

"You, you, your second brother has always been deferential to you, even I have never treated your mother and son badly on weekdays, I can't imagine that Guang'er actually framed Xiao Feng because of a woman, Xiao Feng just got a blessing in disguise, and today you said this kind of thing again, can't you pat your conscience before you speak?" When Wang Lu heard the old lady say this, he even dared to speak: "If it weren't for Guang'er, how could Kong Xiu know Xiao Feng, so Xiao Feng should thank our family Guang'er." Hearing that Wang Lu's family was so sloppy, Wang Yu couldn't help what he said: "If I can't prove my innocence, even if Master Kong knows me, he can only put me in prison (2), then according to what my aunt said, who should I thank at that time?" Wang Lushi heard the meaning of Wang Shu's words, and said without blushing or beating his heart: "It's just a little more fine, our Xindu Hou Mansion has a big business, what is this little money, and now it's adults talking, and children are talking nonsense." "When Wang Yu heard Wang Lu say this, he couldn't communicate normally, so he had to take the opportunity to say goodbye to the old lady and the queen mother, and he was out of sight and out of mind." Now that I am tired, stand down, all of you. When the old lady saw that Wang was leaving, she said these words to Wang Lu and the Queen Mother, and then lay down on the rocking chair and closed her eyes and said nothing.

On the way back with the queen mother, Wang Shu asked his mother: "Mother, why is my aunt like this today?" The Queen Mother sighed: "Alas, I was a good person, just because Wang Guang was originally a Zhonglang in the court (3), and three years ago the Son of Heaven ordered him to follow you Ah Weng to the country, so your aunt has always complained about you Ah Weng. Wang Shu really couldn't imagine that his aunt would resent his father because of this, so in order to comfort his mother, he found some happy words to make his mother happy. However, before he could reach his mother's house, he saw a man of about twenty-six or seventeen years old, dressed in a silk robe(4), approaching him. This person's face is quite good, but he is slightly fat, coupled with his wandering gaze and smirk on his face, which makes people feel an indescribable disgust.

"Nephew to meet uncle!" Before the king could see who this man was, the man was already on his knees. "It's Guang'er, hurry up!" When the queen mother saw this person kneeling on the ground and saluting herself, she hurriedly said, and Wang Yu knew that this person was Wang Guang, who had framed her uncle and brother. "Little brother greets big brother!" Although he was very dissatisfied with this Wang Guang in his heart, the etiquette could not be abolished, so Wang Shu waited for Wang Guang to stand up, and then bowed his hand to him. Wang Guang saw that Wang Shu saluted him, and he also returned the salute with a big smile, and then said to the queen mother: "Uncle, just now I went to ask the middle father to say goodbye, he said that the second brother will go to the teacher the day after tomorrow, this is a big deal, I don't know how the preparation of the bundle is, the second brother has not visited the teacher before, I don't know how important this is, so the middle father specially asked the nephew to see if there is anything wrong." ”

When the queen mother and Wang Shu saw that Wang Guang did not mention that he also wanted to worship Kong Xiu as a teacher, they also thought that he had self-knowledge, and the matter of apprenticeship was Wang Lu's own opinion, so there was no suspicion, and after entering the queen mother's room, they took a key and instructed the maidservant to lead Wang Guang to see how the bundle was prepared and whether there was any difference. Wang Shu had seen it in the ancient books, and the bundle was just a few strips of jerky, so he thought that Wang Guang would come back soon, but Wang Shu's mother and son waited for about half an hour, and they didn't see half of Wang Guang's figure. This surprised Wang Shu's mother and son, and after Wang Shu knew that Wang Guang was gone, he said a few words to his mother and left.

Who knows, as soon as I got out of my mother's courtyard gate, I saw a piece of yellow and clear gold on the side of the road, and when I picked it up, I saw that it was a complete gold cake, about half a catty, which was equivalent to a catty in the Han Dynasty. Wang Shu was secretly happy when he first picked up the gold, and he just picked up the gold cake when he went out, which was no different from a pie in the world. But after thinking about it, it doesn't feel right, this gold cake is a valuable thing even in a rich and noble family, and no one can carry it with him, so it should be his own thing, if this is a slave who took the gold cake at the order of his parents and did not take care of it carefully, it would be fatal, thinking of this, Wang Shu hurriedly returned to his mother's room and let his mother check it. But the mother said that she had not accessed the gold cake in the treasury in the past two days, and she invited the slaves and maids to ask them one by one, and only one of the maidservants said that only three days ago, Wang Mang ordered someone to take fifty catties of gold to use as a bundle for the king to be apprenticed, and now it is locked in the side room where the queen mother is, but because the door is locked, the key is in the hands of the king's mother, and no one usually goes in and out.

Wang Shu heard the maid say that there was still gold in his apprenticeship, and he hurriedly asked his mother what the bundles were, and then he knew that the apprenticeship in the Han Dynasty was not only dried meat, but also fifty catties of gold, a pair of beautiful jade, two fine brushes, and a high-grade purple gold inkstone, which showed that Wang Mang was very attentive to his apprenticeship. Thinking of Wang Guang's face, Wang Shu's heart moved, so he ordered the maidservant to take him to check the bundle, and the queen mother followed him uneasily. I didn't know if I didn't check it, but I was shocked when I checked it, and I saw that forty of the fifty gold cakes were gold, but there were ten copper cakes mixed in them. After calling the maid who led Wang Guang to check the bundle, he learned that Wang Guang had separated the maid during the inspection, so that the truth was revealed, and Wang Shu's mother and son were speechless for a while.
