Chapter 70: Change
Wang Xi has grown so big, and it is the first time he has heard someone accuse Wang Chen of doing something wrong.
Big brother will definitely feel embarrassed.
She hurriedly lowered her head, but she had to admit in her heart that what Dr. Feng said made sense.
The eldest brother is a little nicer to the second brother, and occasionally asks the second brother to help the family do something, saying that even if the second brother doesn't want to inherit the family business, he must know what happened at home. But for her, it's really like an adopted daughter, she is obedient and more attentive than her father.
If Wang Chen is a person who can be moved by people in two or three sentences, it is impossible for him to become a qualified heir, and he will not be able to take care of the family's business in an orderly manner, and there is a faint trend to go to the next level.
But his personality is gentler than Wang Xi's father, even if he opposes it, he will not shout, he is older than the age of comparing his voice with others.
"You're right." He smiled slightly and said, "Nuonuo is still young, she can exercise her at any time, she can't do it in the capital, if she does something wrong, I can't do it even if I want to remedy it." Let's wait for Nuo Nuo to return to Shuzhong. ”
Speaking of Wang Xi's visit to the capital, Wang Chen felt that his stepmother was simply messing around.
Nuo Nuo is beautiful, lively and cute, as long as his eyes are not blind, it is impossible not to like his sister, even if someone takes a fancy to Nuo Nuo's marriage, but isn't this also a part of Nuo Nuo's likability? There is no need to make a fuss, you have to go to a place where you are not familiar with life to find your in-laws for Nuo Nuo, so that their family loses their initiative, and they have no way to know the root of the person who Nuo Nuo is going to marry, which is more dangerous and unreliable.
Of course, maybe for his stepmother, the capital is a place she knows well, but Shuzhong is a foreign country, and it is understandable that she wants to marry her daughter back.
On the contrary, it was Feng Gao, the adopted son of Dr. Feng, who he thought was good.
is honest, has good medical skills, and is not dragged down by the family, Nuonuo married him, which is no different from recruiting a son-in-law.
It's a pity that Nuo Nuo has no love for Feng Gao.
She likes good-looking boys.
Kind of like their daddy.
Thinking of this, Wang Chen had a headache, and simply expressed his worries about Chen Luo, trying to dispel the thoughts of Dr. Feng and Wang Xi.
"Jin Songqing won't trap you for no reason, and Chen Luo can't run to Dajue Temple for no reason." He said to Dr. Feng, "Let's help Chen Luo figure out that the ingredients of the incense powder are secondary, I'm afraid that this is related to the matter of the palace." I have some other things to do in the capital, so I can't visit Master Xie. But I'll leave it to the treasurer to see if I can find out something. ”
Then he smiled and patted Wang Xi's hand on his shoulder, and said, "It's not early today, are you going back to the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion or staying here?" Over there in the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, I won't bother, do you want to have breakfast with your eldest brother tomorrow? I heard the big shopkeeper say that you bought a few stove girls in the capital. This is very good, the world is not as big as eating, don't be wronged at any time. ”
This is why I don't want to continue to discuss Chen Luo's affairs.
Doctor Feng and Wang Xi didn't want to mention it again, Wang Xi thought that the eldest brother asked her to accompany him to breakfast, which was what he wanted her to stay.
She responded with a smile on her face.
I had to buy a new quilt, I had to buy a new one for washing my face, I had to buy a white muslin cloth from Lianghu, and I had to find a tea cup in the color and appearance that Wang Xi liked...... Bai Guo and Wang Xi were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground.
Doctor Feng and Wang Xi had already had dinner on the road, but Wang Chen had just entered the city.
Wang Xi accompanied Wang Chen for a meal and said that it was too late for dinner, said that it was too early for supper, and after the meal, he also accompanied Wang Chen in the courtyard to eliminate food.
"Are the senior and second officials okay?" While walking, she asked her two nephews, "Dad said last time that the official was a scholar, did you hire him a new Xixi?" ”
Wang Chen's two sons are just the opposite of Wang Chen's brothers and sisters, his eldest son likes to play with his little uncle and read together, and the second son likes to play with Wang Xi, like Wang Xi's elf eccentric, and his eyes are an idea, the family wants to train his eldest son to study, and the second son to do business.
It turns out that the teacher invited to the senior official is a bit insufficient.
Wang Chen is not only good to his younger brothers and sisters, but also to his wife and children.
Although he often ran outside, he often sent people to bring things and write letters to his sons, and he knew very well about the affairs of his two sons.
The Xie family helped recommend one, and my father personally watched from the side. If it doesn't work, find a way to change it. Wang Chen said with a smile, "It's the second official, recently clamoring to practice martial arts, I think boys, don't have a good body, you see that those who participate in the imperial examination, every year there are people who go straight in and come out horizontally." I asked the chief steward to invite someone to let your second brother and the senior official also learn together.
"Your second brother and senior officials are unwilling, they dare to be angry and dare not speak, and they stab the second official with words every day. The second official wrote to me, saying that he was coming to the capital to find you. I told him that if he could draw a stone bow, I would have someone bring him to the capital to play with you. ”
With that, he burst out laughing.
Wang Xi also laughed.
The second official is only nine years old this year, and it is not so easy to pull away the bow with one stone, and when he can pull it away, she may return to Shuzhong.
Her eldest brother used the same methods he used to deal with her and her second brother when he was a child to deal with the big and second officials.
I don't know if the senior and second officials will complain about the eldest brother when they grow up.
Wang Xi took the eldest brother's arm and talked about his daily routine for a long time, but when he turned around, he saw Wang Xi poking his head out from time to time, looking like he had something to say to them.
Wang Chen knew that Wang Xi was in awe of him, and originally wanted to leave Wang Xi to talk to Wang Xi, but who knew that Wang Xi stepped forward to salute them and told the brothers and sisters that Bo Mingyue had sent a small servant to inquire about Wang Xi.
Wang Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "What does Bo Mingyue mean?" Is he really not aware or is he falsely not knowing? We met Chen Luo in the temple today, he won't think we offended Chen Luo, right? Otherwise, if he wants to inquire about our whereabouts, he can come to the door generously and ask, what is the matter of sneaky peeping? ”
Wang Xi was stunned for a moment, and felt that Wang Xi's words were very reasonable. He regretted: "No wonder I said to bring him to you, and he said no. I served him with good wine and tea, and he ate happily with peace of mind. The steward who was sent to accompany the guests quietly sent someone to say that he kept asking what you and Dr. Feng did when we went to Dajue Temple today? It turns out that he has not yet inquired about what he wants to inquire about! ”
Wang Xi snorted angrily.
Bo Mingyue must have known about Chen Luo's trip to Dajue Temple to find Chaoyun.
Was he afraid that she and Chen Luo would have a conflict because they went to Chaoyun to ask about making incense?
If you're so worried, why don't you send someone to remind her?
Chen Luo's arrow won't make him a frightened bird, so he will avoid it when he meets Chen Luo, right?
Wang Xi scolded in his heart, but Wang Chen next to him was already surprised, and said, "Bo Mingyue? The little son of the Qingyun Marquis Mansion? ”
"Hmm!" Wang Xi nodded, feeling that she should not tell the eldest brother about the things in the woods, he would definitely be angry if he knew, she went to attend the birthday banquet of the eldest princess of Baoqing, met the second miss of the Wu family, and Lu Ling and a few people hiding in the small attic by the stage saw Princess Fuyang and told Wang Chen happily.
Wang Chen was not confused by Wang Xi's cheerful tone, but said in a word: "Why is Bo Mingyue afraid that you will meet Chen Luo?" ”
It's too complicated......
Wang Xi was defeated by his eldest brother's discerning gaze, so he had to honestly tell Wang Chen everything that happened during this time.
The more Wang Chen listened, the more his face sank, and when Wang Xi finished speaking, the red lanterns around him had illuminated the courtyard brightly, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Wang Xi fidgeted.
She has never hidden so much from her eldest brother.
It's a sign of distrust.
The eldest brother must have been very disappointed when he heard it.
But there are some things that you thought were trivial when they happened, and who knew they would become so important?
Wang Chen was indeed very disappointed, but he still cheered up and talked to Wang Xi, and then they dispersed.
He tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep, and when he sat up, it was already the middle of the moon, he thought about it and went to Dr. Feng.
Dr. Feng had been thinking about the person who could help unravel the formula of the incense powder, and he didn't fall asleep. Hearing that Wang Chen came to him, he put on a shoe and walked out of the inner room.
"What's wrong with you?" He looked at Wang Chen, who was frowning, and asked Wang Chen if he wanted to drink some wine, "I have the best bracket gold plate dew here, how about it, do you want to taste some?" ”
Wang Chen laughed when he said a few words.
Since he was born, the elders in the family have placed high hopes on him, and the discipline is also strict, and the first time he drank alcohol, it was still the gold plate dew that Dr. Feng treasured under the bed.
Doctor Feng familiarly took out the wine from under the bed, and asked the little servant to go to the stove room to find a plate of peanuts, and the two sat in the courtyard and drank to the moon.
Halfway through the wine, Wang Chen spoke: "Nuo Nuo has really grown up and has her own secrets, unless I follow her all day long...... If she hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known what had happened to her...... You're right, I can't replace her everywhere......"
Doctor Feng knew Wang Chen's worries, and he said, "If Ah Xi is not your sister, if you have such an opportunity, will you agree to Ah Xi to contact Chen Luo on behalf of the Wang family?" ”
Yes!
Wang Chen did not speak.
Doctor Feng also watched Wang Chen grow up, and he knew Wang Chen's character.
"If Chen Luo really chooses the wrong prince, can you shelter Ah Xi and let her get out of the way?" He asked again.
Absolutely!
And as Wang Xi said, in this case, it is more beneficial for the Wang family for her to come forward than for him to come forward!
Wang Chen glanced at Dr. Feng.
Dr. Feng smiled: "Then what else do you have to worry about?" Don't forget, how you got your first business. ”
Wang Chen laughed.
At that time, he was only eighteen years old, had just passed the township examination, and achieved the fame of Xiucai, and with high spirits, he took the three stewards of their family to talk about the business of transporting 700,000 taels of silver to the Gansu General Military Mansion.
At that time, Xie Shi was also very young, and he was just a member of the household department, because he believed in him, and gave him a guarantee.
If there is a problem with the salary, it is a trivial matter for the Wang family to pay the silver, and Xie Shi may lose his official position because of this, and it is great that the Wang family has lost the trust of the court.
The elders of the family felt that he was still too young and had never done business, and wanted his father to come out.
His father didn't hesitate to decide to let him take charge.
He also assured the elders in the family that he was responsible for the problem, and said: "Stand tall at the beginning, see far, and if you encounter something again, you won't panic." That's what it means! ”
Because of this business, he and Xie Shi became close friends.
The friendship between the Wang family and the Xie family, to put it bluntly, is more about the friendship between him and Xie Shi.
In order to make him grow up, his father was willing to put him on his shoulders and give him a chance.
Can he also believe in his sister like his father and give her sister a chance to grow up?
"Good!" Wang Chen happily drank all the rest of the wine and said, "Just let those children of the family in the capital see, although my sister is a girl, she is more capable than a boy!" ”
Not only can she like good-looking boys, but she can also "marry" a good-looking boy at will.
