33819 Chapter 851 Negotiations

Gui Niang stood there, looking at Wei Ren with a tired face, a little uncomfortable. Returning to the Wei family's old house for four or five years, this is the first time the uncle has come over.

Although she was elevated to be an aunt. It's just a girl bought by the Wei family, and she can't even compare to having a child. In plain life, the lord and wife are still good to her because of the dedication of the children she takes care of

But there is no reason for the eldest brother to be close to his younger brother and aunt, so the number of times Wei Ren has met her can be counted by a slap.

"Uncle is here to see the Ninth Young Master? The Ninth Young Master has gone to the private cushion, do you want someone to take the Ninth Young Master back. Gui Niang saw that Wei Ren didn't speak for a long time, and said thoughtfully.

The maid and the mother-in-law were sent to the courtyard, and only the two of them were left in the house, which was really not in line with the rules. Although the door to the hall is open. But if there is a villain who speaks, it is not wronged.

The ninth young master is Wei Xin's youngest son, Wen Ying, and the three of their brothers and uncles are the fourth, seventh, and ninth.

First of all, Gui Niang took her side to raise her, I don't know if it was because of Wei Xin's heart, these concubines and the biological mothers of the concubines were all sent away, and none of them were left; And Gui Niang only got a name and had no biological children.

She is three years older than Wei Xin, and now she is no longer in her prime.

Several young masters were raised by her side in the first few years, and the brothers Wenjie and Wenzhi grew older two years ago before they moved out; Only the young Moon Young remained by her side.

Wei Ren coughed. Said: "Gui Niang, today I am here to find you." Tomorrow, I told my lord and wife to send Wenying to the third grandmother's yard. The third grandmother has always loved Wenying and will not treat him badly. ”

When Gui Niang heard this, her face turned pale, and she said in a low voice: "Uncle" is the news of the fifth master

Wei Ren raised his head, his eyes fell on Gui Niang like a knife, and asked gloomily, "You already knew about the fifth brother's going abroad?" ”

Gui Niang was stunned when she saw that Wei Ren was going to eat people, and couldn't help nodding.

What else does Wei Ren have to say. Finally, he pursed his lips tightly, got up and strode out.

Gui Niang is like a cramp and a bone. All of a sudden, his body softened. The maid who was waiting in the courtyard just now had already come in, and when she saw this, she hurriedly supported Gui Niang.

Gui Niang only felt chills all over her body. Teeth chattered.

Send the ninth young master to the courtyard of the third grandmother, and then you will have to inherit the heir. The fifth master "fifth master" uncle didn't wait for the fifth master to come back, so he spoke, knowing that the fifth master would not come back"

Gui Niang was stunned, her brain exploded suddenly, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she fainted, "Small."

Cheng's courtyard, living room.

Wei Wenjie and Wei Wenzhi both sat in a regular manner, only the young Wei Wenying secretly turned his head and looked at the bird cage hanging under the porch.

Inside, there is a pair of colorful parrots, bowing the feathers on the title.

At this moment, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

Hearing footsteps, Wei Ren called his nephews to get up.

Wei Wenying is still young, and she doesn't feel anything; Wei Wenjie and Wei Wenzhi are older, and they feel a little strange in their hearts.

Especially Wen Jie, who was hugged by his uncle and cried a few days ago. After that, the uncle only said that he had drunk too much, but Wen Jie remembered clearly that the uncle did not have the slightest smell of alcohol.

Today, he brought the three of them out, saying only that he was going to visit their father's friend, and that the three little deacons should be respectful.

It was Cao Mei who rushed over from the guest room after getting the news.

When he entered the living room, he saw Wei Ren standing with his three children, and Cao Po couldn't help but stop.

The eldest of the three children. looks most like Wei Xin when he was a teenager, but he is a little more honest and well-behaved, and he doesn't have Wei Xin's high-flying and domineering energy in his early years.

There are two left, and the outline of the facial features can also see some of Wei Xin's shadow.

At this moment, Cao Yi felt remorse in his heart.

For Wei Xin, he has always made a lot of use of it, and has never really thought about him, otherwise he would not let him go abroad in frustration. In his heart, he also thought that he would arrange a sea retreat for himself.

If it were Cao Song and Cao Xiang, would he not dissuade them at all and let them take risks? The answer, no.

Wei Ren had already bowed down, pointed to the three nephews, and introduced Cao Rong one by one; Then he said to his nephews: "This is your father's friend Cao Ye, why don't you call Uncle Shi?" ”

"Uncle Cao Shi." The three children said in unison.

After seeing each other, Cao Yi asked everyone to sit down. After all, it was the first time they met, and although Cao Yi felt close to him, he didn't have anything to say, so he had to ask a few words about his studies.

Wen Jie answered honestly, and Wen Zhi also answered with his brother, but his face was a little strange.

Cao Yi looked at his cousins in the past, and when he grew up, he had several sons in the family, and he couldn't see Wenzhi's "suffering" It seems that this little guy is not a person who loves to read, and he is in line with the previous investigation.

Wei Xin, the second son, has the demeanor of a father and doesn't know anything about articles.

Wen Ying is milky. Innocent and romantic, clever and well-behaved. Without the caution of his brothers, he can be seen to be a child with a hearty personality.

He was sent back to Jiangning as an infant. I don't have an impression of my parents, so I don't know if it's a blessing.

Seeing Wen Ying's eyes go back and forth to the bird cage under the porch, Cao Mei smiled and asked someone to take Wen Ying to the yard to play.

Uncle Xin said that you took the Tongsheng exam in April and are ready to take the exam next year, are you sure? Cao Mei looked at Wen Jie and asked.

Wen Jie got up and replied, "My nephew doesn't dare to hold it up, so I just try hard." ”

Wei Ren had already mentioned the details of this nephew to Cao Mei before, although he studied hard. But the schoolwork was mediocre. In February, the results of the county test are still in the middle of the stream, and the April government test is the tail hanging.

The master who taught Wen Jie had already told Wei Ren that whether Wen Jie could pass next year's college exam was only a matter of five or five, even if he barely passed. Also third-class.

"If you win the show, do you want to continue to take the exam?" Cao Liang then asked.

Wen Jie listened, shook his head, glanced at Wei Ren next to him, and said in a low voice: "I won Xiucai, my nephew wants to go to Guangzhou to find his father." ”

When Wei Ren heard this, his face changed; Cao Yiyi's face was as usual, and she continued to ask, "Except for looking for your father, don't you have any other plans?" ”

When Wei Xin sent them back to Jiangning, Wen Jie was already ten years old. Therefore, I remember the "Uncle Cao Shi" Wenjie in front of me clearly. My father once confessed that if he was not treated well at his grandfather's house, he could send a letter to "Uncle Cao Shi" in the capital

Therefore, when Cao Po did not treat him as a child and asked his opinion seriously, he also said what was in his heart.

"In addition to looking for my father, I am learning to make a living, taking care of my younger brothers and sisters, and being filial to my elders." Wen Jie replied.

Wei Ren's face became more and more ugly, and he couldn't care about being in front of Cao Rong, and said angrily: At a young age, studying hard is it, why do you want to do these useless things? Our Wei family can still afford to support your children. ”

Wen Jie blushed, no

Wen Zhi was straight, and when he saw his brother receiving the words, he couldn't help muttering: "It was the eldest aunt who said it, and the family's livelihood is difficult."

Wei Ren's face was blue and white for a while, and he couldn't say anything to justify, so he could only sigh heavily.

Seeing that Wen Jie did not have the impetuosity of a teenager at all, and was so sensible, Cao Yi felt a little more pity, and said: "Do you want to go to other places besides Guangzhou?" The capital is bustling, do you want to take your younger brother over for a walk? You can go to the academy or learn to do business. ”

Before Wen Jie could speak, Wen Zhi's eyes had already lit up, and he looked at his brother with a blank eye.

Wen Jie hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head and said, "Uncle Shi is kind, nephew hurry up."

It's just that his father once told his nephew to do his filial piety on behalf of his father. Grandfathers and grandmothers are old, and nephews want to serve beside them. ”

He was afraid that Cao Yi would misunderstand that he was shirking his words, so he hurriedly said: "Even if my nephew wants to find my father, I can't bear to see my grandfather and grandmother miss my father too much." ”

He is a good boy with affection and righteousness. Cao Wei nodded, his expression became softer and softer, and said, "Filial piety comes first, so it's fine." But remember, though I am not your father's blood relative, I am like a brother to your father. In my heart. You are my own nephews. Thy father hath thirty thousand taels of silver in his early years, and he is with me. When you are older, I will send someone to come and buy property for your brothers, so you don't have to worry about the livelihood of your brothers and sisters. ”

As for why not put it now, it is because the Wei family has not yet separated, and now that they have bought a homestead, relatives have to talk about each other, which makes several children embarrassed.

Wen Jie listened, but there was no joy on his face, he raised his head and looked at Cao Po, his eyes were already foggy, and he spoke in a trilling voice: "Uncle Shi, I didn't come from the capital, but I fought in Guangzhou."

He remembered clearly that although his father had mentioned "Uncle Cao Shi" several times, he had never mentioned money, but had quietly mentioned it to his eldest son. In Guangzhou, they left some property for their brothers. When they grow older, it is cheaper for them to go back to Guangzhou to settle down; If you want to stay in Jiangning, you have to sell your land in the past. These are entrusted to the "Uncle Cao Shi" in the capital

Now, what "Uncle Cao Shi" is talking about is silver, not land.

If his father is good, why would "Uncle Cao Shi" be this master. Wen Jie was a little afraid to think about it

Cao Yi and Wei Ren glanced at each other. I didn't expect Wen Jie to be so sensitive, the meaning of the two of them was originally to delay for a few years, and then tell Wen Jie.

Cao Yi glanced at Wen Jie and didn't answer directly, but turned to Wen Zhi and asked, "Does Wen Zhi want to go to the capital?" ”

Wenzhi's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and asked, "Can the capital join the army?" Nephew wants to go to war? ”

Cao Yi couldn't help but think of the "general" at home, and said: "Wenzhi wants to be a general."

Wen Zhi shook his head and said, "It's not a general, it's a military attaché." The nephew has a stupid head and can't stop reading the secretary, so he follows Master Liang to learn boxing and kicking faster. If you become an official, you can also earn money and support your aunt. ”

Although the Wei family is not as famous as the Cheng family, it is one of the top landlords in Jiangning City.

It was when Cao Yin was in Jiangning. He was also polite to the Wei family.

The children who grew up in the Wei family are now all planning for their livelihoods, and Cao Ming's smile froze on his face.

Wei Ren was still able to reprimand Wen Jie, but now his face was full of shame, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.

Seeing Cao Liang's ugly expression, Wen Zhi was a little apprehensive and whispered: "Uncle Shi thinks that his nephew has no ambition?" ”

Cao Yi looked soothing, shook his head, and said, "No." Wenzhi was right, since it is not good, it is good to learn boxing and kicking. It's just that you have to remember that if you want to be a military attaché, it is not easy for a small soldier to become a military attaché. If you really want to be a military attaché, you must learn to ride and shoot hard, and you can't leave all your homework behind, and you still have to learn to do strategy. Then take the martial arts exam, and when you get the martial arts and the martial arts, you can become a military attaché."

After chatting for a while, Cheng Mengxing had already asked someone to arrange for a seat to be sent over.

Cao Yi has always been patient with children. These children can also feel his kindness and are willing to be close to him. A meal, the guests and the host are happy.

Only Wen Jie, his elegant face was a little more sad. Cao Mei couldn't bear to tell the truth in front of the child, but quietly comforted: "The virtuous nephew doesn't have to think about it. Your father is fine. I have only been out of the ocean for a few years, and I can't miss it. When he returns, let's fight him together. ”

I don't know if he heard it. But in front of his two younger brothers, he could see that he was hiding his worries.

When Wei Ren asked the housekeeper to send his nephews back first, leaving only him and Cao Yi, Cao Yi sighed and said, "Brother Wei." At this age, children need to be cared for by their elders. It's unbearable to think about making a living all day long. Otherwise, they should leave a few thousand taels of silver from their father's legacy, and count them as a few of them, right? ”

Wei Ren's face was flushed, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The eldest prince is going to kill me." It's all because I'm not strict with my family and despise my nephews, and it won't be like this in the future. The tens of thousands of taels of silver are the dowry assets left by the fifth brother, how to move lightly. Or ask the eldest prince to keep it on his behalf."

Wei Ren's attitude was resolute, and Cao Liang couldn't say anything.

A few days passed. I heard that the marriage date of the Wei family's sister-in-law has been postponed. I heard that it was the meaning of the Wei family's uncle, and he said it when he talked about the monks in the temple. This year, the Wei family has a bad year, and it is not suitable for marriage.

Because of this, the Wei family also performed several rituals in the temple."

The capital, inside the Anding Gate, Prince Yong's mansion.

The thirteenth elder brother was wearing a royal blue regular clothes, teasing the baby held by his mother-in-law, and said with a little joy: "Fourth brother, this little elder brother is handsome enough, and he is designated as a beautiful man when he grows up." ”

It was rare for the fourth elder brother not to have a cold face, looked at the baby in swaddling clothes lovingly, and said: "I sent someone to ask him for a talisman from the lama temple in Rehe, and I only hope that he will be safe and sound."

In his early years, only three sons and one daughter of six sons and four daughters were left, and half of them died.

Now this year's little brother from the side of Fujin, although it is born at full term, but because of the mother's weakness, it is not as strong as ordinary children.

Pity the hearts of parents in the world, the thirteenth elder brother sighed in his heart and said, "It's been almost a hundred days." When the time comes, it will be very lively. I heard that Nian Qianyao sent people back to give gifts, in the end, it was his own uncle, and he hurt his nephew enough,"

Cao Mansion, Orchid Courtyard.

Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said that it was also about the newborn, but it was not the little brother of Prince Yong's mansion, but Chen Shufujin of the Chunjun Palace, who gave birth to a little brother.

Although he is a half-brother, Chu Yu, the eldest sister who is married, is not very light.

In the autumn of the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi, it quietly came in the various prefectures."
