Chapter Seventy-Two: Finding an Old Rival to Show Off
"That's what you call good?"
His father looked at the contents of a few boxes without a wave.
"Just look at what kind of door you can see to have ghosts." Wei Zan and his father took a magnifying glass made of bloodwood, which was the favorite of the old man Su Ri, "Take it, just look for a book, the smaller the handwriting, the better." ”
His eldest brother's brows twitched a little, thinking that this kid didn't dare to beat him when he was old? Knowing that Daddy's eyes are bad now, he still let him read the small print, wanting to laugh at Daddy?
"Oh, dad, what are you doing in a daze? By the way, I remember that your favorite book "Travels in the Eastern Tang Dynasty" is small print, come, I'll get it for you. ”
"Travels in the Eastern Tang Dynasty" is a travel book, and new books have been released, his father has been chasing them for several years, and his eyes have become worse and worse in the past two years, but every time a new one comes out, people will buy it back, and then sigh at the book. When the interest is high, he will also ask his grandchildren to take turns reading to him. It's just that those children are like quails in front of him, and they stumble over reading, and it is better not to listen.
watched his son wander around the room, and finally found the few books he had put on the shelf, and spread them out in front of him, and then looked at him with expectant eyes.
"Quick, pick it up and put it in the book, you'll be amazed."
The green tendons on the old man's forehead collapsed, and he took a breath, thinking that he couldn't do it during the New Year, so as not to hurt the child's face. Then he reluctantly picked up the crystal piece that he didn't know what to do and put it on the book, and took a casual look.
It's good to take a look, the old man's eyes can't be pulled out!
Wei Zhan's uncle next to him saw that his father's expression was a little strange, took a step forward, took the contents of another box, and also compared it to the book, good guy, the suddenly enlarged words almost made him throw the things in his hand.
"Oh, brother, be careful, these are all specially sent back by Ah Zan from the branch, just a few sets, what should I give away if it breaks?"
"Giving it away?" The old man raised his head violently, "What to send, leave it all here for me." ”
"No, Dad, you're so unreasonable. This is what Ah Chan specially collected for me, you took it all, what should I do? ”
The old man snorted twice and sneered: "As soon as your tail is cocked, I know what you are thinking." ”
After looking at a few more lines, he put down the crystal magnifying glass in his hand without getting enough.
"Tell me, what is this, the boy is going to do this business?"
It's all a thousand-year-old fox, he still doesn't know what this bastard is thinking?
No, it's his little son who is the bastard, and Ah Zhan's grandson is still good, he knows what he is thinking, and he does it quietly. What kind of crystal magnifying glass is this, it must have been specially made for himself. Well, he's so confident!
Wei Zan and his father just shouted like this, letting the old man know that this was his son's filial piety, and he brought it all, could he really bring it back?
"That's it, this skill was made by the little girl on the branch, and the craftsman who made this is also from our clan, but the other party is a little troublesome."
Wei Zhan's father told the old man and eldest brother about Wei Jiang's affairs, and also confessed Wei Zhan's plan.
"It's easy to do. Since they are clansmen, and they were in that situation back then, it is not impossible to come back first. ”
Their Wei clan is not particularly strict in this regard, plus that person is branched, as long as they don't make it difficult on their side, the branch side will lobby the clan elders to agree, and the problem of returning the sect will be easily solved.
"It's just that you still need to come up with a proper way to return to the sect. After all, after returning to the sect, in the final analysis, the Wei clan is ashamed of the woman. ”
"There's no way either." Wei Zhan's father sighed rarely, "Look at Ah Zhan's words, Wei Jiang's wife's family has no relatives, he has been guarding the tombs of his wife and children all these years, and he has not said anything about having another child." After a hundred years, it would be too miserable for no sacrifice. Although Huanzong has a bad reputation, his family can be regarded as having a place to return. ”
"If you want me to say, it's better to give his family a stepchild."
"The matter of adoption is not trivial, so I won't mention it for the time being." The old man turned his head to look at his youngest son, "Ah Chan said that his skills are good, since this is the case, he should be treated as a craftsman in the clan, and you can ask Ah Chan to send him what he needs." In addition, find a few reliable children to help him, if he can look at it, whether it is an apprentice, or a successor, the clan will not object. ”
Although the Wei family is also a big family that values Confucianism, they are different from other families in that they do not exclude other disciplines and respect the craftsmen enough. There is also a branch in the clan that is said to have studied under Momen, and later because of the suppression of other schools, Momen withered, and this branch returned to the family and passed it on silently, which can be regarded as leaving a little hope for Momen.
"Dad, big brother, how to distribute this thing, you can take care of it, I'll arrange for Ah Zan to send things first."
The old man waved his hand, impatiently pestle the younger son to continue to pestle here.
After he left, the old man pondered for a moment: "You call Jue and Ji over, let them both pack up, and follow me to visit the head of the Wang family." ”
The old man tipped his fingers across a row of boxes, and finally chose a suit carved with agate, silk silver, and ivory.
Old Man Wang and Old Man Wei are of the same status, and the two of them studied together back then, and they were competitors from the time they drooped. For decades, it was both an enemy and an old friend.
The Wang family is different from the Wei family, there are many children in his family, but in the same way, the competition for family resources is also very fierce. Old man Wang himself was killed from his official career, and now he is raised at home, and it is his second son Wang Tao who inherits his status and connections.
Wang Tao is not as handsome as his eldest brother, and his talent is not as good as that of his third brother, but his advantage is stability. Mount Tai collapsed and did not change color and steady.
Back then, Wang Tao inherited his father's career map, and once made his three brothers have a rift, but the next ten years have proved that Mr. Wang's vision is vicious.
Under the chaotic situation, you don't need to guide the country to scold Fang Xuan, you just need to be as stable as the Zhenhai Divine Needle, stabilize the court, stabilize the situation, and win enough time for the growth of the young emperor.
At this point, Wang Tao's achievements convinced everyone.
Old Man Wei took his two grandsons to Wang's house, but when he entered the door, he found that it was deserted, not at all like the atmosphere that should be in the New Year.
When he arrived at the door of the inner courtyard, he saw the third child of the Wang family standing by the door waiting for guests, he stepped forward and saluted with a sad face, and asked Old Man Wei to persuade his father not to be angry.
"What the hell is going on, you have to tell me the bottom before I can persuade it."
Although the two seem to be in competition with outsiders, their own people know that it is not the case at all. There is competition, but when it comes to sticking a knife in the other party's ribs, it certainly doesn't have to say a word.
"It's not my eldest brother's son yet." The third child complained, and then glanced at the two little sons of the Wei family.
Wei Jue and Wei Ji sensibly stepped back a few meters and turned their backs.
"That little boy has to be a princess, and he said that he has made a private agreement with the princess for life."
Old Man Wei's eyebrows jumped a few times, and he didn't seem to be able to react.
"What's the matter, how could he possibly see the princess?"
"Hmph, it's not his unconscious mother-in-law who did it." The third elder of the Wang family lowered his voice and told Old Man Wei the details of this matter.
