Records of the King of Xin'an County

As the mistress, Xiao Yang has always controlled the affairs of the inner house very tightly, and the ladies in charge inside and outside are all her confidantes.After she fell ill, the doctor diagnosed her as short of breath and told her to rest for a period of time and never to be tired.She was selfish and life-saving, and felt that since the warehouse was empty, she didn't have to worry about the servants filling their pockets, so she put aside her hands for the time being and secretly tried to deal with the lack of money.

But the ladies in charge lost their backbone and did not dare to decide everything by themselves. Seeing that the Wang family gradually became chaotic.Within two days, Wang Chang felt that this was inappropriate and that, and life was far less comfortable than usual, so he couldn't help losing his temper.But he was always impatient with these trivial matters, and Wang Zixian was very busy, so he had to ask Wang Luoniang to take care of these trivial matters.

Wang Luoniang followed Xiao Yang's side since she was a child, and learned some methods of dealing with inner house affairs by her ears and eyes.The arrangement by her seemed to be orderly on the surface, and the Wang family temporarily recovered its tranquility.So, she hurriedly offered credit to Wang Chang and the prince, and after receiving a few compliments, she became more confident.

After two or three days, when she remembered to look at the ledger, she was dumbfounded.For a moment, she even thought that the account book had been tampered with, and she wanted to take the ladies in charge down to teach them a lesson.When the women in charge who complained about their grievances opened the warehouse, she stared blankly at the emptiness inside, her expression suddenly changed.I don't know what she thought of, she gritted her silver teeth, and immediately ran to the inner hall to see Mrs. Yang.

A woman in charge felt that the matter was not good, so she quietly went to report to Wang Chang.Unexpectedly, Wang Zixian was also in Wang Chang's study. The father and son were discussing Yangchun Baixue, so how could they have time to take care of common affairs?As a result, the cries in Ren Nei Tang became louder and louder, and the two of them knew nothing about it.

Just when it seemed that the father was kind and the son was filial and harmonious, suddenly another servant came to report: "Erlang is back!"

"Erlang?" Wang Chang stood up suspiciously, "Shouldn't he be preparing the dowry in Chang'an? Why did he come back suddenly? Could it be that the dowry has already been prepared?" The dowry is no more important than the dowry. If you search carefully, you can arrange everything neatly even in a day or two.At this time, it has been ten days since Wang Ziling started to make preparations. If he was quicker, it should be ready.

Wang Zixian bent the corners of his lips: "Zi Ling is really thoughtful, if the arrangement is neat, I should let my grandfather and mother have a look at it." He knew exactly what Wang Ziling had arranged.Sun Rong has shops in both the East City and the West City. He is engaged in the business of silk and satin, twisted silk and tea, and has made a fortune by selling precious fabrics such as Yuezhou silk and Shu brocade to the Wang family.Even many "precious" objects were also the thread from which he drew the thread, Wang Ziling also gave him a large amount of thank you gifts.

It is said that all the piles that Wang Ziling bought were all ordered by Yang Qian.Maybe Yang Zhuangtou had too high a vision, or maybe he wanted to take advantage of his marriage to empty the heart of the Wang family as much as possible. After spending dozens of gold, he actually bought all 24 betrothal gifts, and eight of them are still missing.He came back at this time, definitely not for anything else, just for money—but, to be more careful, how much money can the Wang family have left now?

Wang Chang naturally didn't know Wang Ziling's plan for this trip, and when he heard that his beloved son had returned, he waited for him to come to see him with a smile.Unexpectedly, Wang Ziling just came over to salute him in a hurry, and he was about to leave before saying a few words: "I heard that Auntie fell ill, and my son is really worried. Let me go to see Auntie, and then come to talk to grandpa .”

After he retired, Wang Chang couldn't help feeling: "What a filial and good boy."

Wang Zixian sneered in his heart: He is indeed a filial son, he has used various means to induce Xiao Yang to cut his flesh and bloodlet him, it is simply "extremely filial".Moreover, the Wang family has been in chaos these past few days, who would think of sending a letter to Chang'an, informing Wang Ziling and Wang Zimu that Xiao Yang fell ill?This filial son didn't know when he planted an eyeliner at home, and secretly sent him news at any time, it was really "excellent".

Not long after, the lady in charge came to report in a panic: "It's not good! Miss... the lady has passed out again! Erlang and the eldest lady are having a fight!!"

Just finished praising his capable daughter and filial son, when he heard such insulting news to the family, Wang Chang felt a little helpless, and immediately took Wang Zixian to the inner hall of the main courtyard.As soon as the father and son stepped into the main courtyard, they heard noisy voices coming from the inner hall.The sharp one is naturally Wang Luoniang, and the impatient one is Wang Ziling.

"32 Carrying the dowry! Could it be that it was all made of gold? Auntie filled in all the farms and shops in Huazhou. There are dozens of gold in it. Can't you fill this bottomless pit?! If ordinary people have such The money is enough to buy a mansion in Chang’an!! You still ask A Niang for money?! The warehouse at home is empty, and there is not enough food and clothing!! How can I have any money for you!! "

"Shut up! I'm your elder brother!! How can you talk to your elder brother like this?! It's just a farm and shop, what's the rush? Could it be that the family is so poor that they can't even afford a hundred coins? There are only eight things left, so the things that need to be arranged must be neatly arranged!! You, you, you only stare at such a small amount of money all day long, and your eyelids are too shallow! When Shi Niang marries in in the future, the dowry she brings is only There will be more!!"

"The dowry is her own! What does it have to do with us?! Can you still ask her to take out the dowry for me to spend? Can you still ask her to take out the dowry and give it to me as a dowry?! A Niang clearly said before However, the farms and shops in Huazhou should have been included in my dowry!! Now they are all used by you!! What will I do in the future?!"

"A little lady, what do you think about the dowry all day long? You are not too old now, and you can wait two years to get married! Within two years, can I save 64 for you to carry the dowry?!"

"You saved my dowry?! That sounded good!! What ability do you have to save my dowry? You think I don't know, what kind of clumsy excuses did you use to cheat Auntie's private money before?! If not For the sake of you being my elder brother, I have already exposed you to grandpa and grandma!! Also worshiping under Mr. Zhou, Saburo is very frugal in food and clothing, but you ask for money every now and then Do you know how many Zhuangzi shopfronts you have asked for the money you have asked for in the past few years?!"

"Heh, you just got into the eyes of money! I don't care about you!!"

"You made Auntie faint from anger! If you want to care about it, I should care about you! You climbed up to Yang Shangshu's house, and you think you are great?! Sanlang has said that, in fact, this marriage was calculated by you The Yang family is not interested in you at all, but the eldest brother! The eldest brother is the first in the new division, and what are you? Why did the Yang family choose you?!"

"Shut up!!" Accompanied by Wang Ziling's angry roar, there was a crisp applause, followed by Wang Luoniang's sudden burst of crying: "How dare you hit me? Even A Niang and Grandpa have never been reluctant to touch me. How dare you ...How dare you slap me! I must tell Grandpa and Madam and let them decide for me!!"

Wang Chang's face was ashen: The dignified Langya Wang family's sons and daughters are no different from ordinary people when they quarrel. If it gets out, what face will he have? !Moreover, the reason why the two brothers and sisters are tearing up their faces is only for the pavement of the farm, just for "profit", how vulgar and shallow? !

Wang Zixian squinted his eyes: The farms and shops in Huazhou were all the dowry of his mother-in-law Da Yang, and the little Yang family had promised Wang Luoniang as a dowry?She is really thick-skinned, she must have thought all these were her own?Dayang's dowry list is still in his hands, and she must return every dowry item in its original form!

When Wang Chang pushed the door angrily and entered, there was a sudden silence in the inner hall.

Wang Luoniang covered her red and swollen face, looked at Wang Ziling with hatred, and complained in tears: "Grandfather, the second brother only cared for money, and made Auntie faint from anger. My son argued with him, but he actually made a move." ..."

Wang Ziling immediately defended: "It's Luo Niang who is aggressive and said something that hurt her heart. The child is really angry, so I can't help my temper..."

"Shut up!!" Wang Chang looked at them full of disappointment, and suddenly felt that the two of them together could not compare to a Prince Xian who could make him look good.He turned his head and looked at Wang Zixian - the jade tree facing the wind, elegant gentleman, gentle and refined - this is the demeanor of their Langya Wang family's children.

"Grandpa, don't be angry." Wang Zixian immediately comforted in a warm voice, "The two of them are still young, but it's just a moment of grudge. Luo Niang, you go back to the yard to rest, and I will ask a doctor to treat your injury later. Apply medicine earlier to reduce the swelling. These days should be the time when the little lady goes out to play. If your injury is healed, then take Xiangniang out for a walk to relax. Family matters should not be left alone. You take care of it."

So far, he has never talked to Wang Luoniang so intimately, and every word and every word is extremely appropriate, and it almost touches people's hearts.Hearing this, Wang Luoniang couldn't help but startled, nodded, tears streaming down her face: "Brother, these days, who am I spending all my energy on..."

"We can save it, let's go." Wang Zixian winked at the personal maid beside her, and after they left, he frowned and said to Wang Ziling, "Zi Ling, according to my previous inquiry, tens of gold have already Enough to buy 32 dowry gifts, maybe more than enough. Why are you short of money?"

"The dowry list was reviewed by my cousin for me, and his meaning is naturally the meaning of the county magistrate." Wang Ziling replied with some reluctance, "All the stewards can testify for me. , I spent all of it on preparing the dowry, and I dare not take it out for my own use.”

"Grandpa...you see..." Wang Zixian could only shake his head, and looked at Wang Chang with embarrassment.

"..." Wang Chang sighed, "When your mother wakes up, I'll ask her again. There are only the last eight bills left, take out a hundred pens and buy them all, and we can invite the official media to the Yang family to propose marriage. It's time to pass the Six Ceremonies." He has always been a man who doesn't care about things, if he is asked to get the hundred guan, he will definitely not be able to get it out no matter what.

Little Yang was still in a coma, and Wang Chang had no intention of saying anything else to them.Therefore, Wang Zixian and Wang Ziling resigned and left one after another.

Later, Wang Zixian heard that Xiao Yang just woke up, before he had time to take a few breaths, after hearing the news about Baiguan and Wang Luoniang and Wang Ziling's rivalry, he immediately passed out again.

He couldn't help curling the corners of his lips: Oh, this is just the beginning.
