"Master, the second son is back, and he is waiting outside the study at this time, and he wants to come to greet you."

"Yo! This kid really didn't talk about it, and came back as he spoke, let him in. ”

Looking at the subordinate who ran out to spread the word, Wan Yujue took the opportunity to stand up from the chair, the second son went out for several months for the business of Wanjia, and he didn't come back for many years, he saw the hard work in his eyes, so he was really happy to see his son come back safely.

Wan Xiushang also followed his father and stood up, wearing a royal blue brocade dress on him, although he was not very brilliant, but he was also a rich son.

Wan Xiuran jumped into the study from the outside, and when he saw his father and eldest brother in the room, he immediately smiled, stepped forward and saluted his father and eldest brother, and said, "Father, my son is back, eldest brother, you are also here at this time." ”

Looking at his son, who had been separated for several months, Wan Yujue walked up and patted him on the shoulder, pinched his bones, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's long and strong again, it seems that letting you go out and walk around more is really the right choice for your father." ”

Wan Xiushang has always loved his younger brother very much, looking at the bright smile on Wan Xiuran's face, he also smiled and said: "I have been away from home for a few months, and I haven't even come back for the New Year, after receiving your letter, I will count the days and wait for you when I come back from vacation today; Good boy, you've grown taller again, haven't you? ”

As he spoke, Wan Xiushang stretched out his hand and compared Biwan Xiu's head, roughly measuring his height, and his brotherly affection was overflowing.

With a heartfelt smile on his face, Wan Xiuran looked at his eldest brother and father who loved him, and said about his travels in the past few months: "Through this opportunity, I have walked around the territory of Southern Chu and Great Wei, and I have gained a lot; Father should have received a letter from his son, what does my father think, I will transfer the business and power of Wanjia to the territory of Great Wei, what is this idea? ”

Wan Yujue touched the beard on his chin and said thoughtfully: "Nanchu has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters over the years, and in terms of business, it is still somewhat affected. Moreover, when the situation in my Southern Chu Dynasty was turbulent, the neighboring Great Wei was smooth and the court was stable, which was not a good phenomenon; Although Southern Chu and Great Wei are now on good terms, the peaceful coexistence of the two countries can only be achieved when they are on equal footing, and once there is a gap, we will become the one who is bullied; At present, the disparity between Southern Chu and Great Wei is getting bigger and bigger, more and more obvious, I am very worried that there will be other changes in the future, although the new emperor of Great Wei has just ascended the throne, but I am the most afraid of the new monarch of Great Wei. ”

Wan Xiushang could understand what his father's jealousy was, and said: "The Emperor Taishang of Great Wei has a total of nine sons, among these nine sons, the third son Zhao Ling is the most outstanding and outstanding. The Emperor Taishang of Great Wei was an indulgent when he was young, and he hollowed out his body early in the morning, and I heard that the reason why he is still alive now is because of the precious medicinal materials and the dedication of the Tai Hospital, so he breathed a sigh of relief, in this case, that Zhao Ling ascended the throne, although the people of Great Wei took it for granted, it was not a good sign for us. You must know that this Zhao Ling is much more difficult to deal with than his father, this person grew up in the military camp when he was a teenager, and he was the best at warfare, and after returning to the capital, he was able to squeeze out his brother step by step, and became the prince of the East Palace, which shows that he is also a strategic person; This person can be civil, brave and strategic, but much more powerful than our emperor, over the years, there has been a gap between Nanchu and Great Wei, if Zhao Ling works hard after ascending the throne, he will definitely throw us farther, and at that time, our Nanchu will be dangerous. ”

Listening to these words, I am afraid that only the Wan family dares to say behind his back that Emperor Xuanjing of Southern Chu is a useless waste.

A trace of sadness appeared on Wan Yujue's face, he knew very well that the Wanjia family could have today's status, relying on Emperor Xuanjing, if Emperor Xuanjing had an accident, and Nanchu had an accident, even if the Wanjia family would be difficult to survive; Therefore, he agreed that Wan Xiuran would quietly infiltrate the power and economy of Wanjia into Dawei, in order to be able to have more eyeliner in Dawei to prevent problems before they happen.

Wan Xiuran knew that his father and brother were worried, and immediately stood up to share with them and said, "Father, eldest brother, don't worry, I will personally run the business on the side of Dawei, and I will be careful everywhere, but if I find any problems, I will report to you immediately." ”

Wan Xiu Ran's ability Wan Yujue and Wan Xiu Shang still believed it, and after hearing him say this, the two of them were also a lot more relieved.

Just thinking of the incident mentioned in Wan Xiuran's letter, Wan Yujue took the initiative to speak: "You brought that Chu girl back with you?" Where did you place her? ”

Seeing that his father took the initiative to mention the moon, Wan Xiuran rarely thinned his face, put on a slightly flushed cheek, and said: "Father, my son likes Yue'er very much and wants to marry her, but my son is unwilling to wronged her, so he didn't place her outside, but took her back to Wanfu, and right now, she is resting in her son's Shi'an Garden; Father, Yue'er has no one to rely on, and the only person she can trust is me, and she asks her father to treat her tolerantly, so that she can really regard our Wanfu as her own home; Father, you haven't seen Yue'er, she is beautiful and kind, and she is different from the women his son has met before. As long as you understand her, you will gradually like her and accept her. ”

Hearing that nine of the ten sentences were all words of concern for that woman, Wan Yujue knew that his * son was completely planted in the hands of that woman this time.

In fact, he did not object to which woman his son loved, because he also liked to hunt for beauty, and he knew best that the taste of this woman was incomparably beautiful; He was just worried that if he pointed out a merchant girl to his excellent son like this, he would not be wronged; You must know that the wife of the eldest son is a beautiful lady, if the second son thinks that he is partial to the eldest son, wouldn't it chill the relationship between father and son?

Wan Yujue looked at Wan Xiuran hesitantly, and said, "My father has always wanted to find you a woman who can be worthy of you as a wife, at least like your sister-in-law, dignified and graceful, and from a good background. ”

Wan Xiuran immediately understood the meaning of his father's words, and said: "The son thanks his father's concern and understands his father's intentions, but the father, the son only wants to marry the one he likes, not to marry those women who were born in a high family; The eldest brother is blessed and has an unwavering love for his sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law can meet his father's requirements for his daughter-in-law. Father, you have loved me very much since I was a child, and in this matter, you will continue to love me, okay? You already have a daughter-in-law with a good background, it doesn't matter if my wife is from an ordinary background, for our family, the most important thing is that the woman is peaceful, the house is peaceful, and the moon is simple-hearted, and she will be able to be an obedient good wife, and get along well with her father, mother, and sister-in-law. ”

Since the second son has talked to this point, if he refuses again, I am afraid that it will really hurt the second son's heart.

Therefore, after some consideration, Wan Yujue made a decision and said: "Since she is helpless, let her live in Wanfu temporarily, and clean up the Tinglan courtyard in the mansion for her to live in, it's just a major matter of your marriage, and you can't make a decision casually; Since you praise her so well, then take the time to let her come to see her father, and when her father really sees her and thinks she is good, then talk about the marriage of the two of you. ”

Wan Xiuran thought that his father would agree to him immediately, but he didn't expect his father to hesitate at this time, he knew that his father didn't want to wronged him, but with the beauty he liked, he really didn't feel wronged.

Wan Xiuran was a little anxious, and opened his mouth to say something else to praise Chu Xingyue, but he was stopped by the eyes of the eldest brother, Wan Xiuran knew that the eldest brother would not easily interrupt his words, and the reason why he stopped it now must be that he felt inappropriate.

So, even though Wan Xiuran was a little disappointed in his heart, he still listened to his father's arrangement and said, "Yes, the son listens to his father's arrangement." ”

When he came out of the study, Wan Xiuran dragged his eldest brother to the verandah on the side, with an anxious look on his face: "Big brother, why did you stop me just now?" Is it wrong for me to say those things? ”

Looking at his second brother's anxious roar, Wan Xiushang was really curious about how good the woman who was brought back by this stinky boy should be, and how good his merry second brother could be for her to become this infatuated species.

"I stopped you for your own good, when I received your letter, I also said good things for you in front of my father, but my father gave me the same answer as he just told you, which shows that my father is very concerned about your marriage; We were brought up by our fathers since we were children, and we know our father's character best. Usually he is very talkative, but once he decides something, we can't just refute and change it, otherwise my father will definitely be angry; If you are for the good of that Chu girl, don't stalemate with your father for her, obeying your father's arrangement is the smartest behavior. You know, although my father admires beauties, if beauties estranged us between father and son, do you think your Miss Chu can still marry you? ”

Hearing his eldest brother's words, Wan Xiuran suddenly felt enlightened, and suddenly realized: "Yes, I was too eager to even worry about this, thanks to the reminder of my eldest brother, this didn't make me make such a stupid mistake." ”
