If you don't say that this Wan Yujue is the number one moth in Southern Chu, living in such a luxurious mansion, if he wants to say that he is a clean and good official, no one will believe him.

Chu Xingyue's disdainful emotions under his eyes, after being led into Shi'an Garden by Dequan, stayed quietly in the flower hall and never walked around.

Dequan was familiar with the way of directing the little servant in Shi'an Yuan to serve tea and pour water, and stepped forward to serve the noble master in front of him, while looking Chu Xingyue up and down; Although the femininity in front of her is slightly inferior, she is fortunate to have excellent skin, and she looks like a cultured person; It seems that if nothing else, the title of the second lady of this Wanfu will fall to the beautiful woman in front of her.

Dequan walks beside Wan Yujue all the year round, and is the best at dealing with people, after bringing a cup of fragrant tea to Chu Xingyue, he immediately accompanied a smiling face, and said in a soft tone: "Girl, you have worked hard all the way, it stands to reason that the slave should arrange a guest room for you to live in, but the slave can see that you will be a rich and noble person in the future, and a vulgar person like a slave will not dare to arrange your residence casually; So, how about asking the girl to wait, wait for the second son to come back, and let him arrange it for you? ”

Chu Xingyue raised her eyes to look at the clever little guy in front of her, took the tea handed over by him, and said to him politely as well: "It's okay, I'll just wait for Wan Lang here, presumably he will come back in a while." ”

"Yes, my second son-in-law is the most pitiful and cherishing jade, the girl is beautiful and beautiful, and the son-in-law will be loved as a sweetheart; The second son is filial, usually when he comes back from outside errands, he will go to see the master first, and after the father and son say something in the study, the son will come back, presumably not to make the girl wait for a long time; By the way, the girl's name is Dequan, which is the name given by the master, and if the girl needs the slave's help in the future, even if she sends someone to find the slave, if the slave can help, it will definitely work. ”

Listening to Dequan's compliments, Chu Xingyue immediately showed a shy appearance, lowered her head and didn't even drink tea, how rare she was to look at that well-behaved and clever look.

When Dequan saw this scene, he couldn't help but envy the second son's Yanfu in his heart, and then after explaining it carefully in Shi'an Yuan, he said a few words to Chu Xingyue and left.

……

In the study room of ten thousand families

In the extraordinarily elaborate and elegant study, Wan Yujue is drinking the tribute of the imperial Longjing tea while playing Go with his eldest son Wan Xiushang; Although Wan Yujue relied on his daughter and his ability to flatter to get to today's status, this person still has some real skills, otherwise he would not have been firmly rooted in the court for several years, and no one could shake his position.

Outsiders say that Wan Yujue is greedy and powerful, and he is a man who likes beauty, in fact, only those who really know Wan Yujue know that Wan Yujue also has a hobby, which is to play chess; Moreover, his chess skills are very good.

If this person doesn't have so many bad deeds that are criticized by the world, with a good chess skill, he should be able to break out of the world; It's a pity that everyone's choice is different, Wan Yujue likes that feeling of being on top, so he has been camping and working hard for several years, even if he is now infamous as a minister, he doesn't care at all.

However, when he has time, he will also call his beloved son to accompany him to relieve his addiction, Wan Xiuran has a total of three sons, each son has a point of ability, can share his worries, and the eldest son Wan Xiushang is even more deep in his heart; Not only because the eldest son can control the government with him in the court, but also because the eldest son has inherited his habit of good chess skills; Although he is young, his chess skills are good, and he can often kill with Wan Yujue on the chessboard, which makes Wan Yujue very happy.

Right now, Wan Yujue is wearing a purple brocade suit and a feather crown on his head, because he is good at maintenance, he should have reached the age of not being confused at this time, he looks like a man in his thirties at this time, plus he is in a high position all the year round, and he naturally has a domineering momentum on his body; Such Wan Yujue really has a bit of the style of an important minister in the court, and he is quite capable of bluffing people.

On the other hand, Wan Xiushang's temperament and face sitting opposite him are much more mediocre, it stands to reason that Wan Yujue's appearance is not bad, and his wife Yu is also a beauty, Wan Xiu Dye, who was born by these two, is a beautiful man, and it makes no sense that Wan Xiushang's appearance will become ordinary.

But in this world, such a strange thing happened, Wan Xiushang's eyebrows and eyes are still very similar to Wan Yujue's, but after these facial features are looked at together, they will only feel much ordinary, especially compared to the two beautiful younger brothers below, they seem even more unblinking; Fortunately, Wan Xiushang has never cared about whether his appearance is really handsome since he was a child, he is almost exactly the same as Wan Yujue, and what really makes him care is only the power in his hands and the interests in his hands.

It is precisely because the father and son have a lot of similarities that Wan Yujue loves Wan Xiushang very much, and even Wan Xiuran, a beautiful and capable son, has to stand aside a little.

Right now, Wan Xiushang is engrossed in playing chess, holding the first-class white jade in his hand, after some thinking, he finally landed the last piece on the chessboard, and after watching the chess game after several fierce battles, it finally ended in a draw, and the tense heart was completely down-to-earth.

Wan Yujue didn't expect the eldest son's chess skills to improve so quickly, but it was interrupted for about two months, and the game with the eldest son could make him bothered so much, so it can be seen that he really responded to that sentence, and the blue is better than the blue.

Thinking of this, Wan Yujue happily threw the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard at will, raised his head and praised without hesitation: "Shang'er, your chess skills are really getting more and more powerful, it must not take long, and even being a father is probably not your opponent." ”

Wan Xiushang took a sip of the tea in front of him to moisten his throat, he knew very well his true ability, and he also knew that his father still had a back move, and he did not use all his energy to play chess with him, so he was not proud and complacent, and said modestly: "Father, don't make fun of me anymore, I know very well how my chess skills are, and I also know very well whether you have released water to me or not, father; With my current ability, if I really want to catch up with my father, I'm afraid I will have to work hard for a few more years. ”

Listening to the eldest son's answer without arrogance or impatience, Wan Yujue was very satisfied.

I saw him nodding his head and touching the little beard on his chin, and his bright eyes were full of appreciation; Wan Yujue was very smart, he knew very well that although Wan Jia was an extremely human minister in Southern Chu, he also had many pairs of eyes and many hands that wanted to pull them down from that position.

He also clearly knows that the wealth that Wanjia can have today is not only relying on his mouth, but the most important person is Emperor Xuanjing; If he wants to keep this glory, in addition to painstaking management, he also needs to train qualified successors; But God finally treated him well, and let him have three wonderful sons.

Especially the first two sons, he is extremely proud, the eldest son can help him stabilize the court, the second son can help him take care of the huge family business, and even the eldest daughter can become the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven and contribute to the family; Thinking of these, Wan Yujue finally felt a little satisfied, in this life, he can come to this day, and he really can't be envied by many people.

Wan Xiushang is the roundworm in Wan Yujue's stomach, looking at his father's flickering eyes, he knew that he was thinking about the three of them, thinking of Dequan who was ordered to go out to investigate the traces of the second brother just now, Wan Xiushang took the initiative to open his mouth and said, "Father, what do you think about the letter that the second brother wrote to you?" ”

"The letter written by your second brother mainly says two problems, the first is that he is optimistic about the geographical location of Qulan Town, and wants to expand the power and business of our ten thousand families to Qulan Town, you also know that your second brother is good at running these, since he is optimistic, we naturally have to support it; As for the second thing he said......"

Wan Yujue's eyes flickered, and even the movement of stroking his beard paused for a moment: "The girl he said is just an ordinary merchant girl, even if her family background is innocent, I am afraid she is not worthy of being my daughter-in-law Wan Yujue." ”

Wan Xiushang guessed that his father would say this, smiled helplessly, and said: "Father, the second brother is not young, and you are also clear about the romantic things he has done over the years, what the son means is that it is rare to have a girl who can tie his heart, if we fulfill him, maybe it can make him more stable; Didn't my father want our family to be full of children and grandchildren? Let the second brother get married this morning, and maybe by this time next year, you will be able to see your eldest grandson. ”

Wan Yujue glanced at Wan Xiushang, with a strange smile in his eyes: "Did you hear something from your second brother?" ”

"I knew that I couldn't hide it from my father." Wan Xiushang smiled, "Don't hide it from my father, my son also received a letter from his second brother to his son two days ago, and the letter basically hoped that I could say a few more good words for him in front of my father, so that he could successfully hold the beauty." ”

"That stinky boy, he's quite active in this kind of thing, and even you begged for it."

"So, it can be seen that the woman surnamed Chu is really very popular with the second brother, in this case, why can't the father be perfected?"

Wan Yujue still had reservations, and said: "It's okay to be fulfilled, but I also want to meet her first to see if she is really qualified to become a member of the Wanjia family; In short, the father already has a plan for this matter, and everything will be talked about after meeting him. ”

Looking at his father, who was quite enlightened, Wan Xiushang was also relieved for his second brother in his heart, what he was most worried about was that his father would look down on the origin of the woman surnamed Chu, but fortunately, his father didn't seem to care about this, in other words, as long as the woman could get into his father's eyes, the second brother would naturally be put on the agenda if he wanted to get married.
