Chapter 047: A Painstaking Effort (1)

"Don't be impatient, wait for me to enter Beijing"

Without raising her head, without any greetings, and without her brother's earnest condolences to her little sister, Wang Qifang opened the envelope, and there were only two lines of vigorous eight words on the white letterhead.

"When did my eldest brother return to Qingyuan?"

When it comes to Wang Jinyu, Wang Qifang's feelings are very complicated. If you are only related by blood, in this world, in addition to his three children and his biological father who rarely meets, Wang Jinyu is the closest person to him. In terms of the customs of the Great Zhou, Wang Jinyu is her biggest support and backer.

It's a pity that they are brothers and sisters with the same father and mother, but the relationship between them is as cold as strangers.

In the pitiful impression, Wang Qifang only remembers an indifferent and detached immature face.

At that time, she wore the hat of a "mother", not only was she disliked by her stepmother, but even her biological father didn't value her much.

And those servants who watched the dishes not only speculated on the meaning of the master, but even wantonly expanded this 'misunderstanding' for no reason - at first she was just a 'Kemu', and as soon as those tongue-in-cheek and malicious subordinates spread, she became a 'Kemu brother' again.

Especially the eldest brother's nurse, every time she sees her, she hides far away as if she saw a scourge, for fear that she will pass on her bad luck to the eldest young master. As for Wang Jinyu, Xu is a young man who lost his mother, forcing him to be precocious and precocious, and he is indifferent to everyone, which makes Wang Qifang, who originally listened to rumors and has low self-esteem, even more afraid to get close.

In this way, one treats others indifferently, the other has low self-esteem, and is obviously a brother and sister, but he is going farther and farther.

"During the August Festival," Zheng Sanniang held the teacup, but her eyes quietly watched Wang Qifang's reaction. Seeing that she read the letter, but did not reveal it in the slightest, she also secretly wondered: Didn't the eldest cousin mention why she came to the capital in the letter?

Thinking of this, Zheng Sanniang took two sips of tea, steadied herself, and said: "Seventh sister doesn't know yet, the eldest cousin will come to the capital to participate in the imperial court's Enke for the children of the major clans in the future, listen to the uncle's meaning, it is best to win the top spot in one fell swoop, and be elected by the saint as a bachelor of Hanlin."

"Nko?" Wang Qifang was stunned, she didn't expect that the Zheng family would be willing to give the Wang family's recommendation to the eldest brother, you know, the Zheng family also has three sons under the knees, and the eldest son is one year younger than Wang Qifang, and he has also reached the age of planning for the future.

Zheng Sanniang's 'Enke' is different from ordinary imperial examinations, and it is a special selection assembly for the children of the clan.

I think that when Zhou Taizu seized Li Tang Jiangshan, in order to get the support of the nobles with the five surnames, he promised that after he took power one day, he would deliberately open up 'Enke' for the children of the clan, learn from the 'Jiupin Zhongzheng system' in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and select some officials from the children of the five major clans to fill the various yamen of the three provinces and six departments.

As a branch of the Taiyuan Wang family, Wang Qifang's maiden family has only one recommended place, but there are four sons in law on the family tree, coupled with the strength of Zheng's mother's family, she never thought that the only recommended place would fall on the eldest brother who has been studying abroad for many years.

"Yes, the seventh sister Xu hasn't been back to Qingyuan for many years, and she doesn't know the reputation of the eldest cousin. Oh, in our Qingyuan, when it comes to the eldest cousin, no one knows, no one knows, the eldest cousin is not only outstanding in learning, but also benevolent and trustworthy, loyal and filial piety, and is a well-known talent. recommended him to represent the Qingyuan Wang family, or was the head of the Wang family personally named?"

Speaking of the gentle, elegant and tolerant young master of the Wang family, Zheng Sanniang's fair face involuntarily rose two red clouds.

Oh~~ It turned out to be the patriarch, no wonder

Wang Qifang secretly nodded suddenly, and she said, the Zheng family has been planning in the Wang family for so long, how could they easily give up the only opportunity for the Wang family to be exempted from the examination to Wang Jinyu.

"Well, the eldest brother has always been excellent, and he has to meet a good teacher, so he is better than the average person."

Wang Qifang understood in her heart, but there was no expression on her face.

In fact, she had more things to know than whether Wang Jinyu came to Beijing or not, so she turned her head to look at Zizhu and motioned for her to bring another letter.

took the envelope, well, Wang Qifang put the letter in her hand, and secretly said to herself, Ho is quite weighty. I saw her tear open the envelope and pull out a thick dozen pieces of white paper.

Compared with Wang Jinyu's concise words, Zheng's letter can be described as a long speech. Affectionate titles, cordial greetings, kind words of concern, if you don't understand the relationship between Zheng and Wang Qifang, at first glance this letter, 100% people will firmly believe that this is a letter written by a mother who misses her daughter very much, and the words are sincere, and the strong maternal love seems to flow between the lines, which makes people really moved......

It's a pity, it's a pity, she, Wang Qifang, is not a stranger who doesn't know the truth. After seeing the true face of the Zheng family, and seeing such a hypocritical letter, Wang Qifang only had one feeling - disgust

"Seventh sister, when Sanniang came, my aunt also specially explained, saying that Seventh Sister was alone in the capital, and her mother's home was far away, although there were loyal servants waiting, it was still difficult to keep it when it was not cheap," Zheng Sanniang saw that Wang Qifang took Zheng's letter, so she paid close attention to her reaction. After looking at it for a long time, there was still not the slightest fluctuation on people's faces, so he took the initiative to explain: "It just so happens that the eldest young master is going to enter Beijing next year, but there is no suitable house in Beijing, so he ordered me to help choose a house to settle in." My aunt said, after I came to the capital, I had to discuss with the seventh sister more in case of trouble, we are all a family, and we must always help each other, right? ”

There is another meaning that Zheng Sanniang did not say explicitly, that is, she came to help the eldest young master of the Wang family buy a house, but who is the eldest young master, it is the brother of Wang Qifang's relatives. Regardless of whether the relationship between their brothers and sisters is harmonious or not, but just based on Wang Qifang's surname Wang, she Wang Qiniang should also help her brother choose a house and pay the relevant expenses in advance.

"Big brother wants to buy a yard when he comes to Beijing?" Wang Qifang almost burst out laughing when she heard this excuse. Please, their brother and sister's brother-in-law and uncle are in Beijing, and they have so many houses in their uncle's house and don't live in other courtyards, what kind of house do they have to buy?

Hmph, it must be what the Zheng family is thinking again, right?

Wait a minute...... Wang Qifang frowned slightly, took her brother's letter from Zizhu's hand again, and read the eight words from beginning to end, "Don't be impatient, wait for me to enter Beijing"

Hiss~~ What does this 'calm and don't be impatient' mean? Is it for her not to be in a hurry to settle accounts with the Wang family's subordinates? Or put up with Zheng Sanniang for the time being? Or don't be in a hurry to tear your face with Zheng?

"Seventh sister?"

Zheng Sanniang didn't give Wang Qifang time to think, and her sweet voice sounded again: "Seventh sister, Sanniang has just arrived in the capital, and she doesn't know much about the dental industry here, so I want to ask Seventh Sister to borrow two people to help, I don't know if it's convenient." ”

"They are all sisters, what's inconvenient, which one do you want to borrow?"

Wang Qifang folded the two letters separately, faintly, she seemed to guess Zheng Sanniang's next words.

"Well, when Sanniang went out, my aunt once mentioned that the few companions who married my sister to the Zhao family were all shrewd and capable people, especially one named Wang Xin, who was the best at buying and selling real estate, I don't know——"

"Wang Xin? He's not here with me now, and last month he made a mistake but didn't want to repent, so I asked people to check it, but I didn't expect this slave to be black-hearted, bullying, betraying, and doing all kinds of rebellious things. Such a slave who betrays his master, I can't go around him just because it's my mother's family. ”

Wang Qifang sneered secretly, this Zheng Sanniang really couldn't hold her breath, originally she thought that Zheng Sanniang would choose to poke this matter out in front of people, but she didn't think about it and brought it up now, hum, do you want to ask Wang Shide about it next?

Thinking of this, Wang Qifang looked distressed, and said with hatred: "With the mistakes he made, he deserved to be killed on the spot." But I thought that his old lady also worked as an errand for the old lady, although he didn't have any great merit, but he was also dutiful, and for the sake of the old lady, he was sent to Zhuangzi to do rough work far away."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Zheng Sanniang stared at two big round eyes, her face full of disbelief, "Seeing that Wang Xin's brothers and sisters are very honest, why is this Wang Xin so bold?" Alas, it's really unthinkable."

"Well, I sent Wang Xin's family away, and I also wrote a letter to my wife, presumably when the third sister went out, my wife hadn't received it yet, but I still have a lot of people under me who need to be used, so it's better to change two loyal and clever people to help the third sister run errands."

Wang Qifang said softly, speaking in her heart, hehe, do you want to mention Wang Shide's matter next?

It's a pity that she guessed the beginning, but not the ending. I only heard Zheng Sanniang's sweet voice and said, "Oh, my sister doesn't know who to choose...... Well, I see that these two girls around my sister are very smart, so why don't you lend me these two girls."

A finger of flesh whirring, pointing straight at Qingyun and Qingyu.

"They?" Wang Qifang paused, she didn't expect Zheng Sanniang to notice the two of them.

"What? They can't do it either? ”

Although Zheng Sanniang is young, her knowledge is not short. She had long seen that these two people were not like ordinary people, and there was a heroic spirit in their expressions and demeanor, like the chivalrous guests enshrined in her aunt's house.

"Hehe, the third sister is joking," after a short stunned moment, Wang Qifang laughed softly: "The two of them are not my girls, but the master apprentice of a chivalrous man, and they are also future chivalrous mendators...... They were entrusted by my cousin to take care of me, but they were not subordinates at my behest. In this way, the third sister has not settled down yet, and when you settle down, my sister will personally arrange two people for you to use. After all, you're also helping my brother buy a house."

"Okay, okay, then bother my sister"

didn't expect Wang Qifang to refuse directly, and the smile on Zheng Sanniang's face suddenly condensed.

"Qi Niang, what is this Zheng Sanniang here for, I don't believe she is here to buy a house for the eldest young master"

Mama Zhao, who went out on an errand, passed by Zheng Sanniang who left, and saw the gorgeous back and gentle smile, Mama Zhao suddenly had a bad premonition.

P: Er, it's a bit of a cardin, it's been revised over and over again for a long time, and the update is late, forgive me, dear ones
