Chapter 57: Little Sister
"Brother, my father and mother instructed me and the housekeeper to come to the capital to help my brother take care of the affairs of the family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info。。 ”
Looking at the little sister Wu Shaolan and the housekeeper Wu Lin standing in front of him, Wu Shaogang was taken aback, he didn't know about this matter at all, he just received the task yesterday, and he was going to leave for Jiankang Mansion the day after tomorrow, at this time Wu Shaolan suddenly came to the capital, which really caught him off guard.
Wu Shaolan is eleven years old, girls at this age, can not be said to be very young, many girls need to know the rules must be clear, words and deeds also need to be paid attention to, it is said that Wu Shaolan came to the capital at this moment, including the housekeeper Wu Lin came to the capital together, it should be said that it is a good arrangement, after all, in the capital, Wu Shaolan can receive a good edification, and the learning is much stronger than the countryside of Luzhou Mansion.
But the problem is that Wu Shaogang is about to lead Zhang Binghui and others to Jiankang Mansion, and he doesn't know what kind of combat mission he will undertake, which means that it is impossible for Wu Shaogang to accompany his little sister Wu Shaolan.
Looking at Wu Shaolan and Wu Lin, Wu Shaogang thought for a while and spoke.
"Little sister, why did you suddenly come to the capital, and you didn't say a word before you came."
"The eldest uncle and the second uncle, as well as my cousin Wu Shaowu, all told my father and mother, saying that I should not stay in Jiangxia Village, but still come to the capital, which is better for the future, my father and mother agreed, and asked me to leave, and the housekeeper also accompanied me to the capital."
"Who came to the capital with you?"
"My cousin Wu Shaowu came with us, saying that the adults in the house wanted him to send some documents to the capital, and he happened to be on the way."
Wu Shaogang nodded, and quickly thought of Su Wengkui, the prefect of Luzhou Mansion, it seems that this may be arranged by Su Wengkui, Wu Shaowu is just a clerk of Luzhou Mansion, and he has almost no power to go to the capital, the reason why he can escort Wu Shaolan and Wu Lin to the capital must be an arrangement made by Su Wengkui as an exception, otherwise Wu Shaolan, an eleven-year-old girl, including Wu Lin, a housekeeper who has not seen much of the world, will not be able to come to the capital at all.
"Where is Wu Shaowu now?"
"They have already stayed at the inn, and my cousin said that they will come over after the arrangements are made."
Wu Shaogang nodded, his brows already furrowed.
There are two girls at home, Wu Shaolan and Qingniang, it is definitely not good, but it is definitely not appropriate to arrange outsiders, after all, the two girls are at home, and they are not so clear about the outside world, in this case, it is not impossible to be deceived, fortunately, the mansion is protected by the guild and the people of the fourth master, but no one dares to come to harass.
The housekeeper Wu Lin is older, it should be said that it doesn't matter if he deals with the affairs at home, but there is a gap in external contact, and the housekeeper is a person after all, it is impossible to take care of so much, and the mansion is only so big, and it is not good if there are too many people.
"Butler, how is the situation at home?"
"Young master, everything is fine at home, all the houses have been built, the land has been cultivated, this year's annual success is good, there is no problem with the grain harvest, there is a second young master at home to accompany the master and wife, the government and the county government are also very careful, the lord and the lady do not have much to worry about, the lord and the lady are very worried about the young master, and they are not worried that the young master is alone in the capital, so they ordered the little one to accompany the young lady to the capital, accompany the young master, and take care of the young master."
"Got it, is Wu Shaozun studying?"
"The lord and the lady specially invited Mr. to teach the second young master to read at home, the second young master is very smart, even the gentleman is full of praise, saying that in the future, the second young master will definitely be able to be named on the gold list and glorify his ancestors."
After listening to Wu Lin's words, Wu Shaogang's brows stretched slightly, and it seemed that the situation at home was not bad.
"Housekeeper, the situation in the capital and Jiangxia Village is different, this mansion can not be compared with the family, since you have come to the capital, then you have to be responsible for all matters at home, by the way, let me introduce to you, this is Qing Niang, all my diet and daily life in the capital in the past are taken care of by Qing Niang."
Qingniang has always stood not far behind Wu Shaogang, occasionally looking up at Wu Shaolan, when Wu Shaogang introduced her, she raised her head, slowly walked forward, and came to the opposite side of Wu Shaolan to salute.
"The slave maid has met the young lady and the housekeeper."
"Housekeeper, two days later, I will leave the capital and go to Jiankang Mansion City, I don't know how long it will be, it will be too late to recruit people at home during this time, and the mansion is very small, and there are too many people, so I will work hard for you during this time, take care of the affairs of the family."
"Yes, the small one must be done well, please rest assured, young master."
Hearing Wu Shaogang say this, Wu Shaolan's eyes were a little red, and his mouth was deflated.
Wu Shaogang looked at Wu Shaolan and felt a little distressed, when he went home at the beginning of the year, the one who loved him the most was his little sister Wu Shaolan.
"Little sister, you just came to the capital, I'm leaving again, this is not suitable, but there is no way, fortunately, it won't take long for me to come back, during this time you just happen to be familiar with the capital, every day call Qingniang to accompany you to walk around the capital, don't relax about learning, before leaving, I will find Mr. and teach you some knowledge."
Wu Shaolan nodded silently.
Wu Shaogang turned his head and spoke to Qing Niang.
"Qingniang, my little sister has just come to the capital, I am not familiar with anything, you have to treat my little sister as your own sister, take good care of it, you study with my little sister, and you are responsible for my little sister's food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Before Wu Shaogang finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside.
Wu Shaowu, who had a smile on his face, entered the courtyard.
After seeing Wu Shaogang, Wu Shaowu hurriedly prepared to salute, but was pulled by Wu Shaogang.
"Cousin, this is at home, there are not so many rules, Qingniang, go and prepare a banquet."
In fact, the banquet had already been prepared, but Wu Shaogang hadn't opened his mouth to arrange it yet, so Qingniang was waiting.
After Wu Shaolan and Wu Lin came out to meet Wu Shaowu, they followed Qingniang to the kitchen, and both of them needed to be familiar with everything in the mansion.
"Cousin, my little sister came to the capital, why didn't you write a letter in advance to say such a big thing."
"Cousin, it's not that I don't want to write a letter, it's that the third uncle made a decision too quickly, in fact, after you left home, my father and second uncle felt that you were alone in the capital, and no one around me could take care of it.
Wu Shaogang knew that his father Wu Qiming's temperament and temper had always been cowering, without any status, because of his son's competitiveness, he suddenly had a status, and it was normal for his heart to float a little.
Letting Wu Shaolan and Wu Lin come to the capital must have been a temporary decision made by Wu Qiming, who may feel that there is some reason for doing so, and he is also afraid that Wu Shaogang will not agree after writing a letter to inform them, so he simply decided directly, first cut and then play.
"I know, the main reason is that the time is not suitable, I will leave the capital the day after tomorrow and go to Jiankang Mansion to do errands, the little sister and the housekeeper are the first time to come to the capital, and they are not familiar with anything, which makes me a little embarrassed."
Hearing Wu Shaogang say this, Wu Shaowu also frowned.
"This is really a bit unfortunate, or I will write a letter to the prefect and stay here to help before you return to the capital."
"No, since the little sister and the housekeeper have come to the capital, they must be familiar with the situation in the capital, but fortunately, the young lady is quite familiar with the capital, so she can help guide her."
As soon as Wu Shao said about Qing Niang, Wu Shaowu's expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Cousin, before leaving, the third uncle and the third uncle and the third aunt specially asked me to talk, you are already seventeen years old, it is time to start a family, a few days ago, there were many people who went to the house to talk about matchmaking, the third uncle and the third uncle did not agree, after I told you this time, the third uncle and the third uncle and the third uncle were afraid that they would have to do this matter."
Wu Shaogang looked at Wu Shaowu and didn't speak for a long time.
The matter of starting a family, he didn't think about it, free love is impossible, most of the ladies in this era are staying at home, it is impossible to come out on a date, "The Legend of the West Chamber" is just a drama, if such a thing really happens in real society, the ending must be very tragic.
"I know, there is no need to be particularly anxious about this matter, I am only seventeen years old, and there are a lot of things to do during this time, I am afraid that I will not have time to go home, after you go back, tell your father and mother, take a break for the time being."
Wu Shaowu looked at Wu Shaogang and was dumbfounded, this was the first time he had heard such words, the words of his parents' order matchmaker, according to this matter, Wu Shaogang has no right to speak, since the third uncle and the third uncle and mother have made arrangements, then Wu Shaogang should be unconditionally obedient.
However, Wu Shaogang's status is there, and the rise of his family depends entirely on Wu Shaogang.
Under such circumstances, Wu Shaogang also has some right to speak.
"Got it, when I go back, I will tell the third uncle and the third uncle about your situation."
Wu Shaogang nodded and quickly changed the topic.
"Cousin, how does it feel to do things in the mansion."
"It's not bad, I've seen the prefect several times, every time the prefect will talk about you, saying that you are young and promising, and the future must be limitless, and ask me to learn more from you, in fact, I have self-knowledge, how can I compare with you, I can do things in the government, I am very satisfied."
"This is not good, cousin, you have to think more, I also know that there are some officials in the government, what they see are small profits, unscrupulous means, and I feel very good, I think it is good to be able to go on like this for a lifetime, you are in such an environment, it is inevitable to be affected, but you have to think more, you have to set bigger goals, some things should be dealt with, after all, it is very important to deal with the relationship between colleagues, but the free time, don't consume it at will, you can read more books, How familiar you are with the things of the government, you will use it in the future... ”
Wu Shaowu kept nodding, his face slightly red.
Who doesn't want to have a better future.
