Chapter Ninety-Eight: Uncle Hui
As soon as the servants turned around, a middle-aged man came out with his hands arched. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Xuan'er's grandfather chose a fast son-in-law for my Wei family early on, and I haven't met for a long time, I can't imagine that this marriage is so hasty, in the end, my Wei family is not careful."
The middle-aged man who spoke looked kind, wearing a dark cotton robe, although it was not very extravagant, but it could be seen that the lines of this robe were extremely fine.
Even so, Wei Yuanwai, who was dozens of acres away from his house, was dressed so simply, which still surprised Zhao Pu.
After all, when I saw the Huo family for the first time in Changzhou City, the Huo family's behavior was really extravagant, Huo Yuanwai was obviously a vulgar appearance with a five-foot rosacea, but he couldn't wait to wear all his family wealth on his body to show his net worth.
In contrast, his father-in-law Wei Yuanwai is too low-key......
"Daddy." Wei Yuxuan laughed, and the little bird held Zhao Pu beside him like a human, "Dad, this is Zhao Pu." ”
On the other hand, Zhao Pu, Wei Yuxuan smiled, "Husband, why don't you meet my father soon?" ”
Although Zhao Pu is not a child of a big family, he understands this etiquette, and hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Wei Yuanwai." ”
A pair of flat eyebrows were raised, and Wei Yuanwai smiled slightly, "It's time to speak." ”
"Yes." Zhao Pu hesitated for a moment, but said slowly, "Dad." ”
If you take the initiative too much to come forward to admit your relatives, I am afraid that some will lower their worth, and some things will have to let the other party speak, and these things will go naturally.
Wei Yuanwai looked approachable, as if he had no value, the smile on his face faded, but he said happily or sadly, "Xuan'er, go and see your brother and them, Zhao Pu, you come with me." ”
"Dad, what are you going to do here?" Wei Yuxuan pulled Zhao Pu a little protectively.
Wei Yuanwai whispered next to Wei Yuxuan, "What, are you still afraid that your father will eat him?" Don't worry, Dad won't embarrass him. ”
patted Wei Yuxuan's shoulder very lovingly, turned his head and walked inside with Zhao Pu.
The house is quite large, with red columns and emerald balustrades on both sides, and the walkways are neat and tidy, with little dust.
The inner courtyard has many folded roads, and the carvings are exquisite but the gold paint is rarely used.
After walking through three or five corridors, Zhao Pu followed Wei Yuanwai into a house.
There seems to be a partition between this room and the surroundings, an orchid is arranged in the room, and the best ripe Xuan is displayed on the side, and the ink fragrance in the house makes Zhao Pu want to take two deep breaths.
I thought the ink smelled, but I didn't expect the smell of ink here to exude a special aroma, and then look at the mahogany desk with a calligraphy and painting with ink not dry, although I don't know what is written on it, but a heroic large wolf brush and rough handwriting, has already shown a sense of domineering everywhere.
Unconsciously, there is a kind of shock that invisibly presses on him.
Zhao Pu swallowed his saliva, but Wei Yuanwai turned around and took two cups of hot tea, and slowly looked back at Zhao Pu, "Sit down." ”
Looking at the intricately carved rose square chair, Zhao Pu was also cautious at this time, so he could only nod and say, "Okay." ”
If it weren't for the occasional cold wind blowing outside the window, there might not be the slightest sound in the study at this time, and the air would have to condense suddenly.
This momentum is like a master's move, but unfortunately, Wei Yuanwai must be a master, and Zhao Pu is still a chick at this time.
Slowly taking a sip of hot tea, Wei Yuanwai raised his head slightly and sat on a spacious couch chair with a bookshelf behind him.
"Zhao Pu?"
Hurriedly nodded, "Yes." ”
"You can usually read?" Wei Yuanwai asked with a frown. "Have you ever read the Four Books and the Five Classics?"
Looking at the books on the shelves behind Wei Yuanwai, Zhao Pu hesitated slightly.
If he said that he didn't read much at this time, then Zhao Pu was wronged.
After all, I didn't say anything else in my previous life, but I still read a lot of novels.
But what about reading?
I haven't known a few traditional Chinese characters, so I really can't count them.
His face was cloudy, and he said slowly, "I haven't read a few books." ”
"Haha." The beard was raised slightly, and the slightly darkened lips slowly spoke, "I haven't read a few books either." ”
Turning to look at the books in the study, Wei Yuanwai nodded slowly, "There are many books behind me, but I have only read one." ”
"One?" Zhao Pu frowned and looked at Wei Yuanwai. "I don't know which one?"
Wei Yuanwai's smile became more and more faint, "In this bookshelf, there are four books and five classics, historical records of the previous dynasties, mythological biographies, everyone's works, and the words of historians. All you care about at the moment is which one I read. ”
Becoming more and more unpredictable about this Wei Yuanwai's thoughts, Zhao Pu couldn't help but be a little stunned.
It can be seen that everyone's words are not important, and the swan song of the historian is not important. Right now, it's the only one that matters most. Wei Yuanwai turned his head and took a book from the bookshelf, spread out the yellowed pages, put it on the desk, and said slowly, "So, it doesn't matter which book it is, what matters is the person who reads it." ”
Scratching his head, Zhao Pu could faintly feel that there was something in Wei Yuanwai's words, but he didn't know what he was talking about, so he could only scratch his head and say, "I didn't understand the deep meaning of Uncle Yue." ”
"Merchant is the most despicable profession in generations."
Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce was originally the fundamental indicator of feudal society.
Zhao Pu raised his eyes to look at Wei Yuanwai, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through the world and see through the fire.
"However, in troubled times, businessmen have always played an important role." picked up the jade cup and slowly sent it to his mouth, "Although the historian doesn't mention it, everyone disdains." However, no one can erase the power of a businessman. ”
Still hearing it in the clouds, Zhao Pu was stunned, like Wei Yuanwai, a person like Wei Yuanwai, only needs to take a glance to know that this person is by no means ordinary. Even when he saw Xiao Yuankang and Old Man Huo for the first time, Zhao Pu didn't have such a feeling.
With such a strong coercion in his bones, I am afraid that only his master Han Lao can be equal to this Wei Yuanwai.
"Zhao Pu, you are a book in the library pavilion, the papers are higher than yours, there are many people, and there are too many people to talk about martial arts stronger than yours. However, if you are chosen to be Xuan'er's husband, you are a blank book written by the historian, and it is up to you to understate or be heavy-handed. Wei Yuanwai said slowly at this time, "My Wei family's daughter is not a trading item, and I Wei disdain it when it is used to buy and sell money!" However, as a father, I also need to fulfill the responsibilities of a father. Zhao Pu, I just ask you, in the future, do you want to do business with me or do something else? ”
"Doing business?" Zhao Pu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, "Uncle Yue's words are serious, I am incompetent and incompetent, and it is absolutely impossible to do business." ”
Looking at Zhao Pu with a slight meaning in his eyes, Wei Yuanwai had no intention of drinking tea at this time, "Then what do you want to do?" ”
"Be an official." Zhao Pu's eyes became clearer and clearer, "I am the biggest official in the world!" ”
I don't say it on my lips, but in my heart it is a secret way, the whole world is not the king's land, and the emperor has proclaimed his destiny since ancient times.
The biggest official in the world is naturally the emperor!
