Chapter 123: The Good Woman Makes Both Arrangements
Wang Qinghong only thought about his own difficulties, and his mouth was still chattering, Wang Yang already hated it in his heart.
Saburo returning home?
How can the husband say it. San Lang is a good child, talented and intelligent, and studies hard, but now because of the wrong teacher, he is careful to hide it in the scientific examination room.
In the final analysis, Wang Qinghong looked at Li Yushi's fame in Shilin back then, and he was close to him, but he couldn't let go of his figure, so he arranged for his son to apprentice in a roundabout way. Unexpectedly, when Ning Wang Shifa arrived, her husband completely ignored the fact that he arranged for his son to apprentice, and he was shocked and angry at his son.
For the sake of the stability of his family, he nodded his head at his son's idea of hiding clumsiness; But when the results of the hospital test came out, he began to give his son a face again.
That is, San Lang, who is honest and pure, and has a strong personality, I am afraid that the father and son have long been disliked.
After returning to his hometown, look at the white eyes of the clansmen?
Wang Cui's regards San Lang as the root of his life, and Wang Yang's feelings for San Lang are no less than Wang Cui's.
She didn't expect the love of her husband and wife for a long time, and all her thoughts were on her children, where was she willing to let San Lang suffer.
Arrange for the son to enter the national prison, the son has his uncle to take care of him, Rong Niang is also in Beijing, and the two sisters and brothers can also take care of each other. If it weren't for the fact that An Lu still had a Wang Cui family, Wang Yang's daughter-in-law would have no reason to stay outside, and she would want to stay in the capital.
However, even if she followed her husband out of Beijing, she did not plan to go to Nanning with her husband.
The youngest son is four years old, and she is willing to take her son to that remote place. I heard that there are few Han people over there, there are many natives, life is extremely hard, and it is difficult to find a good doctor when you are sick, and most of the locals believe in witch doctors.
She also came in her forties, and everything but her children was nothing. Anything that is not good for her children, she will try her best to avoid it.
In addition, Nanning is more than 5,000 miles away from the capital, and it is too difficult to travel back and forth, and it is not as cheap as Anlu. For the sake of her three children, she said that she would not go with her husband.
She was silent for a while, sighed helplessly, and said, "What the master said is exact. Although the two Shishu and Biyun are good-looking, they are not people who can get on the stage. Even if I can't accompany the master to the post, I must always arrange a proper person for the master. Speaking of this, he raised his voice and ordered the maid at the door: "Please Miss Feng and Miss Chu come over?" ”
The maid at the door answered, and Wang Qinghong said curiously: "When did there be a girl Feng and Miss Chu in the family?" ”
Wang Yang said: "The master forgot, before leaving Beijing, my sister-in-law sent two people to me, these two girls are cousins, both are young ladies of the official eunuch family, because the family was involved in the case of King Ning, and was raided and sold. When the sister-in-law was in her mother's house in her early years, she was a good friend with a deceased elder of their sisters, and for the sake of the old love, she bought the two of them out. But there are many people in the capital, and it is really difficult to accommodate the two sisters, so they asked me to take them out of Beijing to settle. ”
When Wang Qinghong heard this, his face was ugly, and he said, "Since you are a traitor, how can you easily take it in?" If people notice, we can't say that we will all eat and hang up. ”
He came out of Jiangxi officialdom, and he was lucky to be able to protect himself, but he didn't want to get involved in it anymore.
Wang Yang looked at Wang Qinghong in surprise and said: "It's just that there are two more people in the family, as long as the arrangement is not out of line, who will be the accountant?" ”
As soon as Wang Qinghong was about to speak, he heard the maid at the door announce: "Madam, Miss Feng and Miss Chu are here." ”
Wang Qinghong frowned, swallowed the words on his lips again, and took two bites of tea.
Wang Yang said: "Come in." ”
After following the maid, two young women walked in with their heads bowed, with a little fear on their faces. Obviously, when he heard Wang Qinghong's sentence "after the traitor", he was afraid of being sent away.
Although these two people are low-eyed and pleasing to the eyes, they are dressed plainly, and they do not wear gold and silver, but the older ones are graceful, dignified and beautiful, and the younger ones are petite and snowy, and they are a pair of rare sisters. Even Wang Qinghong, who is used to seeing beauties, couldn't help but look at it twice.
Wang Yang said to Wang Qinghong: "Master, this old man is Miss Feng, the niece of Chu Zhicheng, the former Nanchang Mansion; The younger one is Miss Chu, the youngest daughter of the Chu family. Then he said to the two girls, "You have followed me back for a few days, and you have not seen the master, so see you today." ”
After that, she motioned to the maid to take two brocade mats and put them in front of them.
It is said that he is old and young, but in fact, the older ones are only seventeen or eight, and the younger ones are fourteen or five years old, all of whom are the same age as delicate flowers.
The two sisters knelt down honestly and said in unison: "I've seen the master." ”
The voice is sweet and glutinous, all of them are soft Su language, just this sentence makes people feel soft.
Wang Qinghong's eyes were taken away from the two sisters, and he did not speak, but looked at his wife. He had some doubts and some expectations in his heart.
Wang Yang smiled: "The master doesn't ask anyone to get up yet." It's all young girls, and the old man doesn't have a straight face to be scary. ”
Wang Qinghong coughed lightly and said, "Get up." ”
The two sisters kowtowed again before they stood up, still in order, with their heads down, dignified and quiet, without showing the slightest frivolity.
With such a bearing, changing clothes, she is more magnificent than the average lady.
Wang Qinghong couldn't help but take another look, and read the name "Chu Zhicheng" in his heart, but it was the first time he heard that when he was in Nanchang, the general judge of Nanchang Mansion was not surnamed Chu, and he thought that he only took office after leaving Nanchang Mansion. However, it is not bad to be able to raise such two young ladies and want to come to the Chu family. It's just that the luck is not good, and he was dragged down by King Ning, and he broke his family, but it's a pity.
Thinking like this, the earlier unhappiness and disgust in Wang Qinghong's heart turned into pity.
Wang Yang saw it in his eyes, picked the corners of his mouth, and told the maid to take the two of them down, and then looked at her husband with a smile.
Wang Qinghong was stunned by his wife, touching the short beard on his chin, a little uncomfortable.
Wang Yang said: "How does the master look at Miss Feng? Due to the poor health of the wife of the Chu family, Miss Feng helped with housework in her early years, and Miss Feng was also quite familiar with the exchanges between officials and relatives. ”
Wang Qinghong frowned and said, "Hui Niang, what are you talking about?" ”
Wang Yang lowered his head, wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "If I have a way to do it, how can I say this?" If San Lang has passed the adulthood ceremony, he will be filial to the old lady instead of the old man and me, and no one will say anything. San Lang is only thirteen this year, and he is still a child, if he is left alone in front of the old lady, will the reputation of the master and me still be wanted? My reputation is okay, Sister Rong is already married, and Saburo's family affairs always have to wait for the township test, let alone Goro. The old man is in the officialdom, and now it is so difficult, after all, he is an only son, and he has been a member of the government because of 'raising relatives' before, if he is labeled as unfilial, how can he be born? ”
Hearing Wang Yang's words, Wang Qinghong also knew that his previous arrangements were inappropriate. San Lang is young, and he doesn't practice the children's ceremony for a day, and he is a child in the eyes of others. If he really wants to leave his mother and underage son in Anlu, he is to leave his pigtails outside and wait for others to attack him.
But if his wife does not take office with him, what will outsiders think?
Wang Qinghong hesitated.
Wang Yang said: "The identities of Miss Feng and Miss Chu's slaves and maids, except for the few around me, no one else knows. Even if it's not good to let the two of them go, it's okay to hide something from the outside world. Speaking of this, he paused and said: "It can be said that it is a distant relative of my sister-in-law's family, a good family, I asked for the master, and outsiders will have more respect." ”
Wang Yang's sister-in-law, Xu, is a well-known family and the granddaughter of the late Xu Pu, a scholar and secretary of the ministry. Xu Pu is a native of Yixing, Jiangsu, and he said that Feng and Chu were distant relatives of the Xu family, but they could almost match each other in terms of accent.
Wang Qinghong was a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant, and said, "Is this an arrangement?" ”
Wang Yang thought for a while and said: "It is better to bother Miss Feng to take care of the old man, and give more respect, and the province has a grudge in her heart." Master, how about picking a good day a year ago and setting up a few tables of wine at home? When the New Year's Festival arrives, the lord will also hold a banquet to entertain relatives and friends, and it is cheaper to elevate Miss Feng's identity. ”
The method that Wang Yang came up with is the best way to solve the current dilemma. In fact, there are many officials who go thousands of miles to take up their posts, and there are many people who stay in their hometowns to be filial to their parents. What Wang Qinghong is worried about is nothing more than the interaction between officials and relatives; Now that Miss Feng is dignified and generous, and she knows about the exchanges between officials and relatives, then he really has nothing to worry about.
However, listening to his wife only mentioning Miss Feng and not mentioning Miss Chu, Wang Qinghong felt a little itchy in his heart.
Miss Feng is dignified, but compared with the two cousins, Miss Chu is better looking and more lovable.
Thinking of this, he didn't nod or shake his head at his wife's words, but replied to the question: "Hui Niang has brought their sisters with her all the way, it is not for the purpose of rationing, how did she originally plan to settle their sisters?" ”
Wang Yang snorted lightly and said, "The original plan, the master didn't think of it?" San Lang is getting older, and the maids in the family are staring at San Lang like black corns, and the people in the house who want to be San Lang don't look in the mirror to see if they are worthy? It's rare to see two good-looking ones, I want to take them with me for a few years, and if I am really honest, I will give them to San Lang in the future. If there is a good one in Saburo's house, he is not afraid of people outside hooking him to learn bad. ”
Although Wang Qinghong had already guessed something, he heard his wife definitely say that the two sisters were originally prepared for their son, and their faces couldn't help but feel a little hot, and they wanted to ask Miss Chu more, but it was difficult to speak.
Wang Yang said: "Mrs. Chu was not in good health, and her husband died not long after he was imprisoned last year. Miss Feng has already been served, and Miss Chu still has a year and a half of filial piety on her body. Otherwise, whether to decide Miss Feng or Miss Chu depends on the master's intentions. ”
Wang Qinghong sneered and said, "It's good for Hui Niang to be in charge." ”
Wang Yang frowned and said: "But the two of them are separated, and it is not easy for the two sisters to rely on each other. If the old man didn't think there were too many people, he would also take Miss Chu there. When Miss Chu is filial piety, how to settle it, the master discussed with Miss Feng. ”
After all, Miss Chu and Miss Feng are cousins, and since the cousin is Wang Qinghong's concubine, it doesn't make sense for the cousin to stay. People like them have the heaviest rules, so they can't be inferior in rank and leave Miss Chu to San Lang.
Wang Qinghong also thought of this, only to feel that the heart he was carrying was finally put down, and he thought about it and said: "I am going to take office, and it is always bad to bring too many female dependents." If you bring Miss Chu, Biyun and the waiter will leave one at home. ”
Wang Yang hesitated: "One of these two is given by the old lady, and the other is used by the master's side, which one to keep, and please show the master?" ”
Wang Qinghong thought for a while and said, "Whether Biyun was given by the old lady or left by the servant." ”
Wang Yang's mouth responded, and he sneered in his heart, this is a man, no matter how nice he says, the old love will never be able to match the new love......
