Chapter 192: Wang Dong's Letter
Wang Zhang smiled bitterly: "It was my grandfather who pulled us and said that wine is like character, and we can only see whether his character is good or not after I get drunk with my eldest brother-in-law. ”
“……”
Everyone was speechless.
Wang Rui blushed and said: "Originally, I discussed with my second brother to secretly stop it, but we were persuaded by the eldest brother to drink several glasses, and we felt that the wine was a little weak, and I thought that it would be okay for the eldest brother-in-law to drink a few more glasses." But later I found out that only the eldest brother-in-law was drunk, and finally I realized that the wine we drank was miserably watered. ”
“……”
"Okay, okay, since you're already drunk, let's rest and leave later. It's still early, you just stay with Yuan Niang to talk. Wang Song hurriedly smiled and comforted the Bai family.
Bai Shi glared at Wang Song again, Bai Yusheng was drunk and Yuan Niang naturally had to take care of her, where did the mother and daughter still have a chance to talk?
Wang Song was a little unreasonable, so he had to cough lightly and go to the side to drink tea. Wang Zhang followed.
Wang Rui looked at both sides and wanted to follow, but Bai stopped him. Wang Rui's face instantly became bitter.
Bai Shi looked a little funny: "What are you doing with such an expression?" I stopped you because your aunt came, and I will rest in the wing room first, so you can go and pay a visit. ”
Wang Rui was stunned, and hurriedly saluted the Bai family and said "yes", and then went out.
Siniang and Liuniang came over and went back after lunch, but Sanniang and Wuniang let Yuanniang keep it. Just now, Bai Yusheng was suddenly helped back, and the two avoided the side, so they had the opportunity to come forward to say goodbye.
Bai personally sent the two to the door of the main house.
Being so troubled by the masters of the Wang family, Bai Yusheng and Yuan Niang waited until the sun was about to set before returning to the Bai family.
But there is such a rule in Qingcheng, saying that the more satisfied the people of the woman's family are with their son-in-law, the more they should pour him more wine. And the son-in-law can't refuse to drink. Just so that the daughter and son-in-law can go home before the sun goes down, few families can pour their son-in-law to the point where the Wang family is today.
Putting this aside, Yuan Niang's return to the door today was relatively smooth.
It's just that on the second day, when Sanniang went to Sun's room to ask for peace, she happened to meet a letter from the outer courtyard.
“.” The mother-in-law of the outer courtyard respectfully presented the letter to Sun.
This third master naturally refers to Wang Dong, the third elder of the Wang family.
Sanniang had to sigh. Although Master Wang San made the backyard of his home smoky, his official luck was still very good. Last year, he was appointed by the emperor and recruited to the capital to be promoted to the right attendant of the Criminal Department.
Now he is already a Jingguan of the third grade.
Although Sun is closer to his eldest son Wang Bai. But I also have to admit that the third son Wang Dong is her proud of the Wang family. Hearing that it was a letter sent by Wang Dong from Beijing, he hurriedly got up from the couch and did not let anyone read it. I took the letter and opened it and read it.
The few people in the room who were laughing also stopped talking. Quietly waited for Sun to finish reading the letter.
Sun's eyes were still very good, so it was not difficult to read the letter, and he finished reading the three pages of the paper in a few clicks, and then handed the letter to Mama Chang who was waiting on the side to help fold it and put it away.
"Bai'er wrote that he had found a government-run official school for Gorou in Beijing, and asked Gorou to leave for the capital as soon as possible. It is also said that if it is a big house and ...... If you agree, let Ji'er go with you. ”
A few people originally thought that Wang Dong had written a letter to greet Sun, but they didn't know that they wanted Wang Jing and them to go to the capital.
Sanniang was even more taken aback.
Did Wang Dong remember to fulfill the obligation of being a father? That's a ...... It was a surprise.
asked Wang Jing and Wang Ji to go to the capital together, but Wang Zhang and Wang Rui, who left the second room alone? This is not like the style of Wang Dong, who thinks he is fair. Thinking about the pause after Sun had just spoken of the big house. Sanniang was sure that the original words in Wang Dong's letter were to ask the big room and a few boys from the second room to go together, but they were stopped by the Sun family Wang Jing and Wang Rui.
Sanniang glanced at the Bai family again. Seeing that her expression was really not as blank as usual, she subconsciously bit her lip. I couldn't help but sigh.
The official school in the capital is something that other people can't go to if they want to, and the conditions and teachers are not comparable to this small place in Qingcheng County. Now the clan uncle who is sitting in the Wang family study is very knowledgeable, but there are many people in the Wang family, and he can't take care of every one, so he can only pick those top-notch key trainings. Even if you look at the face of the same grandson, taking care of Wang Ji and them a little more, your energy is limited.
There are also officials and scholars in the capital, but there are also many gentlemen who sit in the museum, and I heard that they are all from the Hanlin Academy. Reading and doing learning, only listening to the words of one family, will inevitably have limitations.
Bai's other things may not be taken to heart, but when it comes to her son's future, she can't help but worry. At that time, although Wang Song was not as good as Wang Dong in studying, he was much better than Wang Bai, but Sun tried his best to suppress it. In the end, he could only stay in the Wang family to take care of the grange and shops. Identity can only be regarded as a big steward.
Now the Sun family wants to repeat the old tricks and suppress Wang Zhang and Wang Rui.
Sanniang felt that Sun was short-sighted in doing this, but it was not her turn to take care of this matter.
"By the way, Sanniang and Wuniang and Aunt Cui also went over." Sun said lightly.
Sanniang was really surprised at this time, if Wang Dong let Wang Jing enter Beijing because Wang Dong's little bit of fatherly conscience was still intact, she could understand it. Xue married into the Wang family for four years and has never been pregnant. Wang Jing is the only male in the third room, and it is difficult for Wang Dong to pay attention to it. But what are she and Wu Niang, an ex-wife and concubine, and a concubine, going to Beijing for? And do you want Aunt Cui to go with you?
Xue doesn't feel uncomfortable?
Wait, Xue......
Although the Xue family was married by the Queen Mother, there was no movement in the stomach for five years after marriage. It's hard not to be criticized in a place like the capital. So the purpose of recruiting Wang Jing into Beijing is to cover for the Xue family? Or does the Xue family want to win over Sanfang, the only sister-in-law?
Wang Jing is fifteen years old this year, even if she has a son from the Xue family now, she can't shake Wang Jing's status as the eldest son, in fact, it is really smarter to win over than to suppress.
As for her, why did Wu Niang and Aunt Cui want to enter Beijing, San Niang thought about it and understood.
Xue's family is not pregnant, and Wang Dong is considered a high position, so there must be a lot of people who want to send people to Wang Dong's side. If Wang Dong didn't even have an aunt around him, and the Xue family didn't want people to enter the mansion, even if Wang Dong himself didn't want to accept people, the Xue family would be pointed at the backbone and scolded the jealous woman.
I heard that the Empress Dowager values a quiet and virtuous woman the most, and if the Xue family has a reputation as a jealous woman, even the Empress Dowager will have enough for her to drink a pot.
Therefore, if she and Wu Niang were the ones who set off the virtuous image of the Xue family in the past, then Aunt Cui was the one who used to be a shield.
Xue's calculation is good, but I don't know if it was her idea or the idea of the powerful grandmother next to her.
Although Xue's time in Wang's house is small, Sanniang has also dealt with her a few times, and Xue's impression on her is that she has a soft temperament, and she has not yet learned the means of being a housewife. Could it be that it took her four years to get out of school?
After figuring out this, Sanniang settled down. As long as the Xue family did not regard their brother and sister as a thorn in the side like the Liu family at the beginning, she was willing to cooperate with the Xue family, after all, it was a matter of mutual benefit.
"The third family invited a grandmother from the palace to teach your sisters, and after you go to Beijing, you must learn from that grandmother well, and don't insult the reputation of our Miss Wang." Sun symbolically struck two sentences.
Sanniang and Wuniang hurriedly responded yes.
"Grandmother, why can't my sixth sister and I go?" Siniang, who had been listening to the sidelines, finally couldn't hold back at this time, and couldn't help but say urgently.
Even if those people in the capital are not relatives of the emperor, they are either rich or expensive, but they are not comparable to people in such a small place as Qingcheng County. And with the official positions of her uncle and grandfather and third uncle in Beijing, she must be able to get married if she goes. It's much better than staying in the Wang family and waiting for her mother to remember her before pointing out to her a random concubine, a rich man or something. Therefore, Siniang didn't care about her, and what she said was out of place.
The people in the house were stunned when they heard Siniang's words, and they didn't know how she could say such a thing.
Sanniang and Wuniang went to the capital because their father and stepmother were in Beijing, which was considered their home. She, who is a niece, if her parents and elders are no longer alive, he will follow his uncle and aunt to the past. But now that her grandparents and parents are together, what is the matter with her?
Wu Niang burst out laughing: "Fourth sister, are you going to be our daughter in the third room?" But then you have to ask the eldest uncle first, whether the eldest aunt and our people in the third room agree or not! ”
Siniang also found that there was something wrong with her words, but she refused to let go of this opportunity, and said to Sun with a forced smile: "It's the granddaughter who also wants to learn some skills from the grandmother who came out of the palace." Besides, didn't the big brother go with him? Why can't my sixth sister and I go to see the world together? ”
Liuniang felt that Siniang's behavior of rushing to the third room made their big room very shameless, although she also wanted to go to the capital to have a look, but after all, face was important, and when she heard that Siniang was involved with her again, she glared at Siniang.
Siniang usually obeys Liuniang's words, but this time she turned a blind eye and only looked at Sun.
Sun Shi frowned: "Ji'er, he used to go to the official school to study. You are a girl, your parents are alive, what kind of system do you follow your uncle and aunt? Say no more. ”
Siniang's eyes darkened when she heard this, but she was really unwilling. At this time, she hated herself very much, why she was not born in the third room, even if she once despised the third sister, who was not as good as her. But now, being the daughter of the third uncle is really more beneficial than staying in the big house. The third uncle's newly married wife also seemed to be much easier to deal with than her mother-in-law. (To be continued)
